Episode 23

Chairman Han,

please accept my daughter, Yoon Hee, as your daughter-in-law.

I'm begging you.

I understand what kind of decision

I should be making.

Please get up.

I won't get up until you make a decision.

Chairman,

my Yoon Hee, can't you love her?

I learnt that a competent doctor

is a person who watches the progress of the illness

rather than one who immediately prescribes medication.

Rather than getting ourselves involved in Min Soo and Yoon Hee's problems,

it would be wise to step back and watch.

If it's destined that those two will get back together,

then I'll have to go along with it.

Thank you.

I believe Min Soo and Yoon Hee will be happy.

Is Min Soo still keeping himself busy with work?

Yes, Chairman.

And Choi Yoon Hee?

I heard that after the marriage failed, she decided to stay out of sight temporarily

until everything cleared up.

It appears she hasn't returned to Seoul yet.

I will see Min Soo first.

Yes, Chairman.

So he's gone out to make the rounds?

Yes.

Does he go out there every day?

Yes.

Shouldn't you do such tiring things yourself?

Yes, I should, but the General Manager insists on seeing it himself,

and makes the rounds every morning.

I'll wait.

What's wrong with these lights here?

How many times do I have to tell you to adjust the illumination?

Let's see the new publications that have come in.

Give me the list of new publications.

They're all educational reading.

Why aren't you bringing in books about health?

They are books that elders seek the most.

Take care of it immediately.

It's good that you're working hard, but...

You're disturbing my work. Please leave.

I don't know how much my interference with your life has hurt you, but

Choi Yoon Hee...

There you go again. Choi Yoon Hee! Choi Yoon Hee!

Please stop.

It's over between us.

Haven't things gone your way?

Don't bring that name up in my presence again.

It's not too late.

I'll give in.

No.

It's too late now.

Not because of you,

but because my pride won't allow it.

Rather than causing Yoon Hee hurt,

getting her wings clipped after becoming part of Myung Jin, and

having her stepped on because of me,

it's better for me to give up.

It's not because of your opposition.

Rather, I'm letting Yoon Hee go myself.

And, from now on, when it comes to my affairs with women,

I'll do as I wish whether or not you approve.

Chairman...

I'm alright.

He says that jerk, Lee Min Soo,

is working like crazy.

So you should also get yourself together.

Think of it as having a fresh start.

Stop your wandering, and get back to your life.

You didn't even register the marriage, so what's the problem?

Is Father very ill?

He's been discharged.

He's always worried about you.

He had such high expectations of you.

Keep it secret from Father what's happened between us.

He already knows.

I've broken Father's heart.

Noona, I think of this as a new beginning in your life.

It's not too late.

Quickly forget about Lee Min Soo, and return to your life.

I want you to start your broadcasting work again,

and go back to having political aspirations.

My Jae Sang's all grown up.

You're giving advice to your Noona.

I'm sorry if I was rude.

Like you are to Father, you are my dream and hope.

Please show me success.

I threw away all my pride and begged Chairman Han.

I begged her to accept our Yoon Hee.

Where did you find Yoon Hee?

She was at the house in the countryside that she had grown up in.

That smart child

was suffering from a lot of heartache.

She must have really loved Min Soo.

It's probably the same for Min Soo.

It's a relief that Chairman Han said she'd go along with Min Soo and Yoon Hee's decision.

But it seems she's worried about the fatal bonds among the three of us.

So try to convince Chairman Han a little more.

Chairman Han needs to realize it herself,

and come to her own decision.

You know she's not the type of woman to listen to others.

Then, what should we do about our Yoon Hee?

Let's watch a little longer. The problem right now isn't Chairman Han.

Min Soo's the bigger problem.

Even though he loves Yoon Hee a lot,

he's pushing Yoon Hee out because he doesn't want to lose his mother, that's the problem.

What are you doing?

Father.

Yoon Hee's here.

Father.

I was wrong, Father.

Who said it was your fault?

Did I object to your marriage for no reason?

You momentarily fell for a playboy and went the wrong path.

If you've finally come to your senses,

you can always fix that.

Even if he works at a bean bun vendor,

a good and honest man,

who considers my daughter to be the best,

who treasures you more than his life,

someone who will love you,

I want to entrust my daughter to someone like that.

A man who's rich, reckless and thinks that every woman on earth belongs to him,

how could I entrust you to someone like that?

Don't you agree?

Fortunately, you haven't registered the marriage yet.

You have to forget it right away.

If you'd rushed this marriage, then suddenly met

your real destined man, what would you do?

Let's think over this again.

Father.

It's alright.

Hey, even if you don't have an appetite, finish everything.

Look at your face, you look terrible.

Alright.

I won't ask what happened.

You really don't have any intention of starting over?

Oh, hey! You're going to get sick.

Drink some water.

Aigoo.

Love is sure a hard thing.

Then, has Choi Yoon Hee gone to Seoul?

Yes, her younger brother came and convinced her to go back with him.

When?

Earlier today.

I see. Thank you.

Goodbye.

Don't act impulsively.

Even if she has come back,

I think it's best for us to ignore the situation until the two of them reconcile on their own.

Can't I meet Min Soo?

Do you think you can just get involved and meet him, saying "Yoon Hee is my daughter"?

I'd appear impertinent, I guess.

Anyway, since she is back, she has probably cleared up her head.

Let's be patient and see what happens.

Alright.

I want to meet the granddaughter I've lost.

So I hope you'd help me to act as the link.

I want to atone for my sins before I die.

Before I die,

I want to do everything for her which I haven't done as her Grandmother.

That can't happen. I'm sorry.

Why not? Why can't I?

That child should just be filial to the father who raised her.

What feelings would she have for a grandmother whom she has never met?

Just forget about her. I beg you.

So you're saying that I can't even see from afar how she's living?

It's not that...

Then lead the way tomorrow.

I'd feel relieved if I could at least see from afar my grandchild's face, so please do that.

To be honest, that child...

Go on.

She's the child who married your grandson, General Manager Lee Min Soo.

What?

You know...Choi Yoon Hee, who used to be the anchorwoman for the 9 o'clock news.

That child is your granddaughter.

Aigoo...

Aigoo...

Are you alright? Madam!

You must be tired. Go back to the office.

No.

I should stay until she regains consciousness.

Min Soo, you should go as well. Don't you have a morning meeting today?

Yes.

Give me a call when she wakes up.

Ok.

Such a healthy woman collapsing like this...

Life is so unpredictable.

She apparently wanted to see Yoon Hee.

If that's what she wants, she should.

What brings you here?

They haven't even signed the divorce papers yet.

Wait a moment.

I went to the countryside recently, and saw Choi Yoon Hee.

Who are you to talk about Yoon Hee?

I'm someone who treasures her like a daughter.

So?

What is it that you want to say?

We've already ended things.

What do you mean you've ended things?

Yoon Hee loves you very much. What do you mean you've ended things?

Did you say "love"?

I don't know what your relationship with Yoon Hee is, but

it's over between us.

I'm acting so insolently because I feel sorry for Yoon Hee.

We met at the studio, and became acquaintances.

But we really got to talk a lot during my recent trip.

I just want to say one thing to you.

If you still love Choi Yoon Hee, don't lose your opportunity.

Don't test each other's perseverance,

but be cool and reconcile, the way young folks do these days.

Yoon Hee still loves you very much.

Oh, Yoon Hee.

I'm sure you are busy. Sorry for calling you out.

What is it out of the blue, Uncle?

Oh...

There's someone who really wants to see you.

That's why I asked you to meet me.

So...she would be your paternal grandmother.

I haven't expressed the fact that I know I'm a foster child.

Father, Jae Sang, and Auntie don't know.

I want to go on pretending I don't know.

In any case,

why is she looking for me now, after all these years?

So what I'm saying is...

The old woman doesn't know how much longer she'll live.

She wants to see you, and since it's not a difficult wish to grant, I've come to you.

I don't want to go.

I mean, I don't want to meet her.

How and why she abandoned me,

if it's about people from that past, please don't bring it up.

I have Father, who raised me as his precious daughter.

Yes, I know.

But she's at the hospital now.

She says she wants to hold your hand before she dies.

Please grant her this wish. Don't be so cold-hearted, OK?

Come over here.

Madam, your granddaughter's here.

Madam!

Do you recognize her?

You guys can talk.

I think I know what it is...

that you want to say.

Don't use up your strength.

So yeah. That's how it happened.

I think she wanted to ask you to forgive her,

because she felt guilty for treating your mother so cruelly.

Then, my mother is Eun Hye Jun, the actress?

And your father is Vice Chairman Lee Jeong Hoon.

Then my marriage to Min Soo is something that can't happen.

Yoon Hee...Yoon Hee.

Yoon Hee,

I'm sure you're shocked.

But Eun Hye Jung and Lee Jeong Hoon really didn't know of your existence.

They thought you were dead.

So you're saying that my grandmother settled everything by sending me away for foster care?

Brother-in-law, no...I mean...

let's not tell your father that we had this conversation.

I can trust you, can't I?

Ms. Eun!

If that child had grown up, she would be about your age.

If it's because of my wife, back out before it's too late.

I sincerely wish for you to take the road that will make you both happy.

Will I be able to leave?

I miss you, I miss you so much.

Even though I can't be with you now,

I am happy even with you just watching me closely.

Even though it hurts like death,

I'll make sure you are here with me.

I love you so much that I hate it.

I miss you so much that I hate it.

Since I love you like this,

I'll just believe you.

If it's not you, I don't want it.

If it's another person, I can't.

It's only you that I love.

Yoon Hee loves you very much.

What are you doing in an empty house?

When did you return to Seoul?

It's none of your business. Please leave.

Let's talk.

What is there left to talk about?

You said you wouldn't leave.

You said we wouldn't part.

It's fine even if they were all lies.

I don't care what kind of contract you made with Mother.

Just tell me one thing.

Tell me that your love for me was real.

I never loved you.

When I learnt that your mother, Chairman Han,

trampled on me to get me to marry you, I was at first astonished, but

well, since love and marriage had never been important to me,

I figured that such a deal wasn't too bad.

Unfortunately, my ambitions were too great.

I felt your Myung Jin Group would give me a bigger boost than my commoner status.

That's why I wrote that contract.

I took it over myself and made a deal.

I said that didn't matter.

What I felt for you was sympathy and pity.

So I'd appreciate it if you'd stop coming over late at night like this.

It's regrettable how things have turned out.

I said I was fine with sympathy and pity.

I don't want this anymore.

Myung Jin Group isn't very stable nowadays.

I just thought I should back out of such a dangerous gamble.

What?

She hasn't regained consciousness yet.

I'll just see her for a moment.

Madam, your granddaughter-in-law is here to see you.

I'll stay here, so go and have lunch.

Alright then. Thank you.

Tell me everything honestly.

Am I really the daughter of Eun Hye Jung and Lee Jeong Hoon?

Am I?

Tell me, NOW!

What brings you to the hospital?

Someone I know has been hospitalized.

I heard your father was hospitalized because he was very ill.

It's a relief you came back.

I intend to be more level-headed from now on.

I don't think it's my style to be controlled by emotions.

Then, have things ended with Min Soo?

Yes.

I want to live trusting only myself from now on.

One can't impose one's will on life.

I came back to Seoul after realizing that.

But I heard something shocking...

that I came into my family as a foster child.

I see.

But, your biological parents...

I'm not going to look for them.

I'm not curious.

I'm sure they had a reason.

I don't know how pressing the situation was that they had to abandon me.

But I don't want to dig up the past,

and waste my time getting wrapped up in useless emotions.

I'm sure I'll see you around.

I'll be going now.

Yoon Hee...

Wait a moment!

Say it. Please say it.

If you tell me everything now,

I think I might be able to forgive you.

Drive carefully.

I didn't know that this love would stay for a long time.

There are too many memories of love in my heart to be erased.

This star didn't know it would be this hurt.

Come in.

Because I sent you away so easily.

What should I do?

Should I express it with tears?

It hurts to love only one person.

It's sad to remember that person.

Could this really break my heart like this?

The pain of loving someone.

I cry, keep on crying, and my tears keep falling.

The pain of loving someone.

I thought you'd be doing the happy dance after getting rid of me.

You're going around like this on a rainy day?

Yeah, you jerk. This is how I live. So what, what, what!?

Yoon Hee, why are you like this? Huh?

Why do you live like this?

Why am I like this?

Why do I live like this?

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who Choi Yoon Hee really is?

Yoon Hee, let's not do this.

Let's not be like this.

Let's start over.

I've thought about it ten times, a hundred times, and it's all my fault.

Forgive me.

I really love you!

It's all my fault, so let's go somewhere far away, and start over.

I can't live without you!

When I think about living without you,

I'd rather you kill me.

Will you do that for me?

Will you?

I said I never loved you!

I found Kim Yoo Suk.

Chairman Han,

Our Yoon Hee,

please accept her as your daughter-in-law.

I beg you.

Yoo Suk, what should I do?

How will your son get a hold of himself?

Please help him, Yoo Suk.

This is so hard for me.

Yes, it's all pointless.

I'm sure you won't come to see me again,

but waiting is a very lonely and miserable thing to do.

Yes, I've already given up on you.

But...

but...

if we are to be forgotten like this,

what's the meaning, then, of all those years of suffering?

Let me turn back time.

[Chairman Han Myung In]

What is it?

I have nothing to say to you.

I have something to say.

Open the door.

What?

I'm standing in front of your door.

I don't appreciate your coming so unexpectedly like this.

After you left Min Soo like that,

a lot of thoughts went through my head.

What do you want?

I don't have time to hear you ramble on.

He is Bum Yong Soo from the People's Hope Party.

I think your political aspirations would be

more compatible with his than with Kang Man Suk�s.

I've talked to him,

so you should be able to meet him right away when you give him a call.

You must think that everyone has to do what you want him to.

You don't care about the other person's feelings or perspective.

I don't need this.

If I want to make a comeback, I'll do it myself.

That is Choi Yoon Hee's way.

I made you misunderstand again.

I wanted to make up for having ruined you to satisfy my greed.

Yes, I'm sure you'll be able to get back on your feet by yourself again.

If you've said everything, please leave.

I'm sorry.

Honestly,

I came here to say that.

I admit that...

I was selfish.

Why?

You're upset to see Min Soo suffer from heartbreak?

So you thought you should have me stick around to make him better?

Yoon Hee...

I signed that contract, so I'm being punished for it.

I don't want to hurt Min Soo like that again.

You know about Kim Yoo Suk and me, don't you?

I don't want to hear anything that has nothing to do with me.

I realized just recently that I was following the footsteps of my father,

so I don't want to further ruin your lives,

and I've decided not to interfere anymore.

I know you two sincerely love each other.

I'm living such a messed up life because of my father,

but I want the two of you to be happy.

That's how I sincerely feel.

I'm sorry for coming without prior notice.

I'll leave now.

I'm not going to look for them.

I'm not curious.

I don't know how pressing the situation was that they had to abandon me.

But I don't want to dig up the past,

and waste my time getting wrapped up in useless emotions.

Even if you don't have an appetite, eat this.

I don't want to.

Did you see Jeong Hoon at the hospital?

Why don't you have any strength?

By any chance... did you find Noo Ri?

Yes, I found her.

Really?

God helped us. God helped.

Did you see her from afar?

Where does she live?

Unni...

In life, there can be times when it's best to look the other way, right?

Right?

Did you meet her parents?

Did they ask you not to see her?

Just know that our Noo Ri is doing well

Alright, I don't have any right.

What right do I have to...

That's not what I meant.

We need to keep it buried if we want to prevent other people from getting hurt.

Alright, that's the way.

Eat this, and regain your strength.

Don't worry, Unni.

If I collapse over something like this, I'm not Eun Hye Jung.

How's Mother?

There's no progress, so I'm worried.

I heard from Manager Lee.

That you...

looked for Yoo Suk not long after he disappeared.

You don't have to do that.

Things must be hectic for you because of Mother and Yoon Hee.

You working to find him...

I feel burdened.

No.

This is all because of me.

I think it's time for everything to return to its rightful place.

I submitted the divorce papers.

Your father and I...

The late Chairman tried to change your destiny.

It was your destiny to lead Myung Jin.

Now I'll let go of your life that's been ruined because of me.

It's the address that Kim Yoo Suk is at.

Whether you meet him or not is up to you,

but I think you should check it out.

I'm going to wrap things up at the Company, and take off.

You need to live happily.

You've carried too many burdens.

I apologize on Father's behalf.

Thank you for everything.

You need to be happy as well.

Brush off everything,

and live for yourself.

The house the Vice Chairman has moved into...

Yes, I got him a nice house by a lake.

Check on him to see if he needs anything.

Yes.

From now on, I'll be a good companion

who understands and supports you the most.

Teacher.

- Yes? - I don't know how I should do the shading.

Is that so?
