Original subtitles

You're an orphan with no roots.

You got lucky and succeeded.

Do you think you're above us all?

Who fears you?

Who do you think you are?

How dare you...

mess with my big chunk of stones?

You are...

determined to kill me,

aren't you?

You punk!

I...

will not die.

Yangji Group, which I,

Jang Wol Chun, built,

will never fall.

Then I'll wait and see...

how long the kingdom of Yangji...

that you built lasts.

If you'll excuse me...

Rude punk.

How dare he?

Mister.

What brings you to my house?

I came to play Go with your great-grandfather.

You played Go with my great-grandfather?

Yes.

Who won?

I did.

Did you really?

You must be good.

I've never seen anyone beat him.

Not even once.

Is that right?

Play with me sometime too.

- Do you know how to play? - Yes.

My great-grandfather taught me.

Okay, let's do that.

- Take care. - Okay.

You promised.

You're an orphan with no roots.

You got lucky and succeeded.

Do you think you're above us all?

Since we're on the topic of the orphanage,

do you really not want to find your mom?

Why are you bringing that up again?

Set Byul asked...

why Daddy doesn't have a mommy...

when Mommy does.

You know we're going to volunteer this weekend, right?

Yes, that's right.

Thanks for reminding me. I would've forgotten.

That's what I thought.

That's why I told you,

so you don't forget.

Thanks. I won't forget.

What's with that Go board?

What?

Mr. Oh from next door left it.

It's his.

Give it to me.

I'll bring it to him.

It's okay. I'll have Ms. Yang bring it.

I want to play Go...

Never mind.

I'll go to my room then.

- Ji Min. - Yes?

Should we go there for our volunteer work?

It's been a while.

Where?

Where you used to go each month until you were in the third grade.

Okay.

I'm Ji Min's grandpa, Choi Tae Joon.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Yes, I'm Oh Tae Yang of Sun Holdings.

He approached us on purpose. It was all planned.

To get revenge on us.

How much does this punk know?

He couldn't know the truth about his family, could he?

I heard you met with Mr. Oh this afternoon.

I heard from Ms. Yang.

How dare he do that to you?

I won't forgive him.

What did that psycho say?

Why is he doing this to us?

The look in his eyes...

was just like mine when I was young.

When I was young, I was crazy...

just like him.

Nothing could hold me back.

That's your problem.

Your meek eyes...

Grandfather.

How could Jang Wol Chun's blood...

have such meek eyes?

You should have the eyes of a lion or a tiger.

How can you become...

the king of a kingdom with the eyes of a deer?

Today,

I saw the eyes of a lion in him.

A lion growling...

to eat me alive.

Kwang Il.

Please get your act together.

If you don't,

he'll eat you alive.

I'm begging you.

I have a favor to ask.

What is it?

Please save Shimmi Foods.

Shimmi Foods?

No. My grandfather will never allow it.

That's why I'm asking you.

My grandfather won't believe anything I say...

right now.

It's no use asking me.

But anyway, why are you so hung up on Shimmi Foods?

Why do you want to save it?

Well... I want to be ethical, that's all.

Do you know what my grandfather just said?

He said to become a lion or tiger,

that otherwise, I'll be eaten alive.

Gosh. If I ask someone like that...

to save Shimmi Foods because of ethics and whatnot,

he won't even consider me his grandson.

Then at least persuade Father.

Fine.

I'll talk to him, but don't get your hopes up.

My grandfather's real grandson...

Do you think he takes after him?

Be careful. What if someone hears you?

Suddenly I'm curious.

I wonder what kind of eyes...

my grandfather's real grandson has.

I'm so grateful that Sun Holdings...

wants to sponsor us.

We're only doing what we should.

That's easier said than done.

Anyway, thank you very much.

By the way,

this place has not changed a bit.

I thought you were a Korean-American.

Have you visited our orphanage before?

I came with someone once a long time ago.

I see.

I remember meeting with the director when I came.

Can I get his contact information?

Do you mean Song Gwi Jung?

He's doing volunteer work abroad at the moment,

but he'll be back soon.

I see.

A woman came by not long ago...

and asked for him as well.

Mr. Song is popular.

Should I give you a call once he returns?

No, just give that woman a call.

- Okay. - I'll get going now.

Okay.

Do you know this woman?

That woman? Yes, of course, I do.

Has she been coming here?

Yes. She came once a month...

with her son to do volunteer work...

until three years ago.

- Until three years ago? - Yes.

I don't know what she does,

but she has been a consistent benefactress...

and did a lot of volunteer work with her son...

as you can see.

But you don't know who she is?

No. She didn't want people to find out.

When she was around,

things weren't this difficult...

since she donated so much money.

I don't know what happened,

but we haven't heard from her for three years.

We've been very worried that something bad...

may have happened to her.

Three years ago.

That's when I returned to Korea.

Did she cut ties because of me?

Kwang Il's future is on the line.

And your daughter's future.

What?

I sent someone to the house, so give it to him.

Otherwise, you'll kick yourself in regret.

You should tell me what's going on.

What is it?

What is it that will make me kick myself in regret?

Why is...

Kwang Il's and Duk Shil's futures on the line?

Why did you take my son-in-law's toothbrush?

Answer me.

Does anyone else know...

about what we did in the past?

What do you mean?

What we did at the hospital when Kwang Il was born.

Does anyone else other than us know about it?

I told you no.

You mean it, right?

No one else knows, right?

Of course not.

Not unless you told someone. Otherwise, no.

Why do you keep asking that?

Is something wrong?

Let's talk later.

That's right. That woman wouldn't tell her son-in-law...

unless she had lost her mind.

If she finds out who he is,

she'll lose her mind.

It's me, Choi Tae Joon.

Let's meet right now.

Kwang Il, then Chairman Jang,

and now, Choi Tae Joon.

What's gotten into them?

Chairman Choi suspects you.

He's digging into your past.

I guess he finally found out who I am.

Why does he keep asking about that?

Did something happen?

Mr. Song returned to Korea?

You said he wouldn't be coming for three months.

I see. Today?

No, it's okay.

I'll be right there.

Thank you.

The orphanage director is back,

so we may be able to open Pandora's Box.

Why did you want to see me?

Are you going to ask who I am again?

What do you want to know about me?

I know who you are.

Kim Yoo Wol.

You're not even surprised.

Of course.

I'm sure you expected this day to come.

So? What will you do?

Will you announce to the world that Sun Holdings' Oh Tae Yang...

has been lying about his identity?

Worst-case scenario, I may.

Worst-case scenario?

Forgive me...

for what happened back then.

It was an accident. I mean it.

We only wanted to scare you a little.

I understand...

you want to get revenge at us...

because of what happened. However,

do not destroy your future...

because of something from the past.

Are you threatening me?

I'm giving you advice.

(Duk Shil)

Why isn't he picking up?

She's only available today.

Advice?

Did you say that was advice?

What's up?

The orphanage director is back.

Let's go over there right now.

I can't.

Why not? He's only visiting for a few days,

so today is the only day he's available.

Regardless, I can't now.

You go by yourself.

I wish he'd go with me.

You've done enough, don't you think?

Because of you,

we've already suffered a huge loss.

No.

I haven't even begun yet.

Let's bury the past and think...

of the future.

And what if I refuse?

Refuse?

My life was irrevocably destroyed...

and barely survived, but what? Bury it?

Would you be able to bury it?

Then I won't just take it either.

You'll tell the world...

that I'm a fake.

Go right ahead.

What?

Tell the world...

that I'm not James Oh,

but Kim Yoo Wol.

Then I'll tell them how I ended up living as James Oh...

instead of Kim Yoo Wol.

I bet people would be very entertained.

They may even turn it into a movie.

Why you...

I have a long way to go before I repay you for everything.

It's the Magic of Compounding Interest.

A quite a bit of interest accrued over time since then.

I'll excuse myself now.

I'm afraid you may flip the table in anger...

like Chairman Jang or something.

Mr. Chairman.

What's wrong?

Kim Yoo Wol...

is much more frightening than I had anticipated.

What did he say?

He says he has a long way to go before he repays me for everything!

I'm sure he's all talk...

because he's bitter.

No. He wouldn't say things he doesn't mean.

Plus,

if he finds out he's Chairman Jang's real grandson,

he'll go even crazier. He may...

even try to kill Kwang Il and me.

What will you do going forward?

I'll have to speed up making Kwang Il the successor.

- Then... - That's right.

It's time for Yangji Logis' IPO.

Yangji Logis is going public?

- Yes. - If Yangji Logis goes public,

Kwang Il will make a ton of money while doing nothing.

He wants to push forward with making Kwang Il the successor now.

Why didn't you think of that?

What?

If you had started a company for me and given it business,

I would've been swimming in money without doing any work...

just like Kwang Il.

You're right.

Why didn't I think of that?

See? Being well-educated is useless.

What do you mean?

You're more educated,

but Uncle, who isn't as educated, is smarter about making money.

Well... Yes, that's true.

When I go to reunions,

kids who did well in school work for other people,

but kids who didn't all have their own businesses.

I found that amusing as well.

That's right.

That's why you work for someone else because you did well in school.

This isn't the time for jokes.

We have to stop Kwang Il from being named the successor.

Exactly. How?

- Ji Eun. - Yes?

You said you knew a way to get rid of Shi Wol.

Can't you tell me what it is?

I'm sorry.

I can't until I have evidence.

Don't worry. I won't tell a soul.

My lips are sealed.

It's too huge. I can't.

If we say something without proper evidence,

we may be the ones getting buried instead.

Exactly. That's why I won't tell anyone.

Don't you trust me?

- No. - What?

You have a big mouth.

That's why I can't.

Hey!

You want to find Kim Yoo Wol's birth mom?

Yes.

What's your relationship with him?

I'm his wife.

Kim Yoo Wol is my husband.

Is he doing well?

Yes, he is.

I'd like to see him.

Why didn't he come himself?

He's out of the country right now.

That's why I came instead.

No wonder.

He said a woman used to visit him every year...

on his birthday bringing gifts.

I'd like to find her.

Please tell me about her.

I'm sorry,

but I can't do that.

Why not?

She wouldn't want it.

I don't mean to do anything to her.

I don't resent her.

I'm sure it was out of her control.

We understand.

What do you plan to do if you find her?

I'm looking for my husband's birth mom.

Kim Yoo Wol's roots.

I'm sure she knows.

Or perhaps...

she may be...

my husband's birth mom.

Please, I'm begging you.

I understand.

Then will you tell me?

Let me check with her first.

Will you have to check with her?

She may not want me to tell you.

I'll call you...

after I check with her.

If she says no,

will we never find Tae Yang's birth mom?

It's so familiar.

Why is that?

What do we do if that woman refuses?

I guess we should stop here, right?

We should.

What's the point in finding someone who doesn't want to be found?

I guess, right?

Okay.

I'm tired from driving.

I'm going to sleep.

- Goodnight. - You too.

Do you know this woman?

That woman? Yes, of course, I do.

Has she been coming here?

Yes. She came once a month...

with her son to do volunteer work...

until three years ago.

- Until three years ago? - Yes.

Work hard at your volunteer work.

I will.

See you later.

Bye.

Shi Wol never fails to impress me.

She's so diligent...

about doing volunteer work although no one makes her do it.

I know.

But...

why do you think she always goes with only Ji Min?

Kwang Il doesn't like things like that.

You know...

I tried hard to bring him...

to orphanages and nursing homes.

He hated it even when he was a child.

He hasn't changed.

That's why I'm extra proud of Ji Min.

Ji Min is a great child in every way possible.

I'm sure Jung Gook, Suk Jin, and Nam Joon...

are doing well, right?

I wonder. Let's go and see...

how they're doing.

Where did Tae Yang go...

on his day off?

He has plans.

Gosh. He should...

spend time with his family on his day off.

I know.

You should scold him for me.

I will.

You know he can never refuse me.

Anyway, where do you keep going these days?

I heard you went out again yesterday and had Mr. Hwang watch Set Byul.

I had to.

What is it?

Actually,

I'm looking for Tae Yang's birth mom.

Tae Yang's birth mom?

Yes.

Wait... So... Did you find her?

No, I'm still looking.

Imagine how shocked...

and happy she would be...

to hear how successful her son is.

I know, right?

So? Can you find her?

Maybe.

Anyway, I'm trying to contact the person who may be his mom,

so we'll find out soon.

I really hope you get in touch with her.

If...

you were Tae Yang's birth mom...

If the son you abandoned many years ago...

wanted to meet you,

would you meet him?

Naturally, I would...

if my son wants to meet.

Right?

She'd want to meet, right?

I'm done cleaning the bathroom.

Okay, I'm done too.

Jung Gook, Suk Jin, and Nam Joon...

- grew a lot. - They did?

I asked what they want to be when they grow up,

and they say they want to be singers.

So what did you say?

I said I hope their dreams come true.

Good.

It's time to go.

We're going to keep coming again from now on, right?

Sorry, but I don't think we need to come anymore.

Why not?

Actually, I came back because things got bad for them,

but luckily, they found a nice benefactor.

So next time,

we should go somewhere where they need more help.

I miss the kids because I've gotten close to them.

Mister!

Hello.

It's a surprise seeing you here.

What are you doing here?

I'm the new benefactor.

You're the new benefactor?

Ji Min, go say bye to the director.

We need to go before the traffic gets bad.

Okay. Mister, you rock!

If you're cutting ties because of me,

you don't have to.

That's not it.

Anyway, thanks...

for remembering this place and visiting it.

Ji Min...

is so lovable every time I see him.

Thanks.

You can come here with your daughter from now on.

- Her name is... - Set Byul.

What a pretty name.

Set Byul...

is really pretty.

I said bye.

We'll go first, then.

Let's go.

Can't I go back with him?

Ji Min.

Okay.

I'll be going first.

Okay.

It's so cool. I can't believe we ran into him here.

- Ji Min. - Yes?

When we get home, don't tell them we saw Mr. Oh here, okay?

Why not?

Great-grandpa, Grandpa, and even Daddy...

are mad at Mr. Oh.

So I think it's best that we don't mention it.

I noticed that too.

Okay.

Thanks.

Yes, Mr. Song.

Did you get in touch with her?

You couldn't reach her?

Did she refuse...

to meet us or anything?

I'm glad.

Then please give me her name.

We'll look for her ourselves.

Don't worry.

Okay. What's her name?

Im Mi Ran?

Im Mi Ran?

Yes. Thank you.

What's wrong?

Im Mi Ran?

(A Place in the Sun)

It must be someone else with the same name.

That can't be.

Do you know who your son-in-law Oh Tae Yang is?

Chairman Jang's real grandson, Kim Yoo Wol.

Everything was planned from the start.

I told you before, right?

That I think they knew each other from before.

Oh Tae Yang! That jerk.

I want to crush him.

Crush him.

Crush him and kill him.
