Episode 52

Hello?

She was much older than I thought. Small and unseemly.

I thought she'd be speechless, but she talked well.

Did you talk with her?

Yeah, shortly.

She wanted to. About 10 minutes?

She talked a lot. Incessantly.

How could she?

I guess she's that shameless to abandon me in the first place.

Even still. She lives so close by. How could she not try to find me?

Why didn't you ask her why she left you? If she slept well at night.

Should I?

Yeah, you should.

Or let her have it. To relieve all your pain.

Maybe I should have.

Do you want me to ask how she could abandon such a pretty daughter?

How she didn't even wanna know how you were doing.

You know what?

I felt good.

I thought she was pretty and elegant.

I felt relieved because she looked like a good person.

I could feel she worried a lot.

I liked that you two looked alike.

I'm in trouble. Kyung-Ja won't easily change her mind.

What are you doing here?

Hello.

Hi. What's the matter? How did you know where we live?

She left her bottle.

It's medicine, so she might need it.

I see. It's the immune-suppressing drug. I'll give it to her.

Bye, then.

I'm fine, father.

Even still. I can't be relieved until it completely grafts.

So come home early for a while, ok?

Yes. I'll be careful.

Here.

Where did you find it? I was looking for it.

Your birth mother brought it. She said you left it.

How did you know about her? Did Kyung-Woo tell you?

Yes.

You should've told me. Did you think I'd stop you?

I didn't tell you about her because...

I know. Kyung-Woo told me.

It's good you met her. Of course you should.

Go up and rest.

Yes.

'Tae-Il Yoo'

Look who's here.

- Hello, grandpa and grandma. - Hi.

Dad!

- Hi, Hyo-Eun. - What brings you here?

Hyo-Eun, get down.

I'm sorry. I have something to tell you.

It's ok. Have a seat.

Thank you.

So what is it?

I wanna get back together with Hwang.

Tae-Il.

So you want her back?

Yes. But she keeps refusing.

Tae-Il.

Why? Are you crazy?

Man-Sook.

It's because of your parents.

I know. So I came to ask for your help. Please persuade her.

Get up. Let's talk.

The baby will be born in 2 months.

But that's not the whole reason. I still love her.

Let's go.

We went through terrible pain for the last few months...

..but I don't think it was for nothing.

This is our business.

Be quiet.

We paid dearly to learn this lesson. I don't wanna repeat the same mistake.

I'll be really good to her and Hyo-Eun.

Please trust me again. Trust her and me.

I like you now more than ever.

Yeah. So manly.

True.

I came because you didn't pick up.

Didn't I look good today?

Don't play so hard to get.

You have no idea how much your mother hates me.

I know. I have a vague idea. I know she won't be easy.

But giving up because of my parents? What about us and our kids?

Please have some courage. I know you can. Please.

I'm not who I used to be.

Yes, you are.

You just went through a lot. You're still who you are.

Such a talker.

Yeah, we went through a lot.

It was painful...

...but I cheered up myself and struggled with all my might to come this far.

I'm proud of myself. I'm getting my self-esteem back.

And you want me to stand as a sinner to your parents?

Especially when your mother despises me?

I'm really scared.

Let's try. All 4 of us.

Me, you, Hyo-Eun and the baby.

Goodness...

I'll think about it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah, Ki. I can't go out today.

My mother is so upset because of brother.

Ki. You know... My brother and Hwang will get back together.

I heard.

I know. It was unexpected.

Ki. What should we do?

Mom's calling me. I'll call later.

Ok.

Hello?

Yes, this is Ki Lee.

I did?

I passed the audition?

Thank you.

Ok. Thank you. Bye.

What happened? I didn't even practice.

If you don't need my money, don't drive my car either.

Hello? This is Kyung-Ja Yoo. I'm Kyung-Woo Ko's mother.

Let's meet today.

Ok. Where is good?

I know. See you then.

Hwang is gonna go to see Tae-Il's parents. I guess things will work out after all.

I know.

I'll be straightforward. As you know, it's awkward.

Yes. Go ahead.

You know I'm adamantly against their wedding, don't you?

Yes. But...

Don't try to persuade me. A few words won't change my mind.

I expanded a junior high school to an aggregate corporation.

I braved through life alone for 30 years.

I don't change my mind once it's made up.

I'm fighting with my son about this wedding.

If she pushes this wedding through...

...I guarantee you that it'll fall apart in a year. I'll make it.

You're going too far.

Why? Ask anyone. Who'd want a sick daughter in-law?

She's recovering.

Even so, she can't have kids.

So stop them.

Like I said, I'll break them apart even if they get married.

Like I said I managed a business alone. It won't be hard.

You don't want another divorce in your family, do you?

Now it's my turn.

I'm not against this wedding.

It's because Kyung-Woo and Geum are so firm about their love.

Look.

I'm putting up with your rudeness because...

...I understand you somewhat as a parent.

And because you're his mother.

But there are things one should never do.

One is insulting a child in front of her parents.

That's why...

If your child is precious, so is mine.

I'll go.

Hey.

Seung-Ki told me you were here. You look down.

I'm fine.

I'm relieved. You look good.

Because you bought me a lot of meat. Thank you.

Let's go meet your mother. We have to anyway.

It'll be no use.

Is it that bad? Is that why you look so down?

Let's just marry. I gave up on her.

Let's go ahead.

Kyung-Woo, did something happen?

I can't understand her. How can she think she can control her 34-year old son?

She threatened that she wouldn't give me any inheritance.

So I told her I'd give it up.

You don't mind, do you?

Don't worry. I'm a competent director.

Why don't you answer? Do you mind?

Do I really have to answer? Of course I do.

It hurts you more than anyone.

It's ok. I don't care, so let's go for lunch.

I'm back.

I had salty noodles.

I'll eat dinner later. I had a late lunch with Kyung-Woo.

You don't have to tell me everything. You never did before.

- You came home early. - You told me to.

Good. Sit.

I met Kyung-Woo's mother today.

Her suggestion? What did she say?

Take a guess.

She's against the wedding.

Yeah. Very strongly and rudely.

I wanted to lash out but I held back.

- I'm sorry, father. - It's not your fault.

That's not what I wanted to hear.

You still want this wedding?

Yes.

It might be much harder than you think. Did you think about that?

Yes. I might regret it. But I want to do it anyway.

I'm sorry.

What specifically did she say?

Don't mind it. If that's your decision, go ahead.

But keep this in mind. Quit whenever you want to.

Whatever happens, I'm always on your side, ok?

Yes, father.

What are you doing here? I never asked you to come.

Tae-Il. What are you doing?

Didn't we tell you not to bring her?

Father, mother. Forgive me.

Forgive me.

I did a terrible thing to you during 7 years.

But give me one more chance.

Please forgive us for the unborn child. We'll do well. Please.

I said I can't.

Didn't I tell you I'd rather be dead than see this?

Mom.

Would you rather I died?

Mother.

Shut up!

Didn't you tell me that you wouldn't get back together?

That you'd raise the child alone?

I did.

And? Why did you break your word?

Is it funny to you?

After telling me the child I raised for 7 years isn't mine?

Mom.

Shut up, you ingrate.

You fool.

You broke our heart once. We pleaded with you and you betray us again?

Do you call yourself our son?

Do you deserve to be our son?

Leave if you understand.

We don't have anything to say nor hear.

Go up.

I can't before you kick her out. Tell her to leave.

Tell her now!

Hwang. Leave.

Go.

Now!

Are you alright?

I'm fine. I expected worse.

I didn't expect them to forgive me easily.

Don't worry about me.

Thank you.

But don't kneel again. I don't want to see you kneel because of me.

It's nothing after what I did to them.

I'm fine.

Let's go. I'll give you a ride.

Director, how have you been?

Are you mocking me?

What do you think? My son is out of his mind and doesn't even think I exist!

I'm sorry.

What can you do for him? Name one thing.

Mother.

I'm not your mother.

Mother, I lack a lot, but...

I'm not your mother. Stop calling me that!

Yes, director.

Director. I lack a lot. I know that.

Like you said, I don't have much. I'm not healthy and probably can't have kids.

Then break up. If you have a conscience and really love him, you should.

The only thing you can do is let him tend your illness.

Do you know how much he likes kids?

He was the only child, so he always dreamed of having a lot of kids.

I won't oppose if you at least have kids.

I can give up on your education and family, but you're barren.

Do you know how selfish you are?

And you're adopted at that. Think with a conscience.

If your son wanted to marry an adopted girl...

..who can't have kids and is sick, would you let him? Could you?

Yes. You're right.

I can't refute anything you say.

But director. I really love him.

I can't do much, but I can give him comfort and warm support.

I promise I'll be good to him all my life. I'll try all my life.

I'll try as much as I lack.

I promise I'll be a better person every day. Please give us consent. Please.

Don't you know you'll eventually become a burden to him?

You're nothing but a burden to him. Don't you get it?

It's me.

In my room. Where are you?

Editing room.

I'm about to leave.

I regretted being too mean when you came this far.

Don't mention it.

I'm the one who always frets.

I'm the one who's sorry.

You wouldn't be fighting with your mom if it were not for me.

I'm sorry I lack a lot.

Come on. What's wrong? Did something happen?

No.

Are you sure?

Ok.

I don't wanna hear that.

Do you know what my wish is? I started wishing while going through this.

You do? What?

Just... I thought it would be similar to mine.

Tell me.

Living a long loving life by your side.

No?

It is. Getting old with you under the same roof.

Have I told you that I'm grateful that you came back to me healthy?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Are you Geum?

Yes?

I see.

I'm your uncle.

What?

Your uncle. Husband of your birth mother's sister.

Are your parents in?

Tell us what it is about.

You know my wife was the donor, don't you?

No, we didn't. Did she?

You didn't? I thought you knew. Jeez.

Yes. Her mother pleaded so desperately, so my wife did a big favor.

Your aunt gave you life.

I see...

So her mother gave my wife some money in gratitude...

...without her husband knowing.

Her husband is so stingy.

He'll go bonkers if he finds out she has a child and took $30,000.

It got really ugly. So I have to pay it back.

In short, I'd like to ask you to pay me. I'm short on cash.

It all happened because my wife saved your daughter's life, right?

Give me $30,000.

Look.

Stay quiet.

I know what you mean.

We're very grateful that your wife was the donor.

But we don't have that kind of money. Even if we did, we wouldn't give it.

Look! I don't think you understood.

Please leave! We won't give it. Please leave.

Get up.

Hello.

I'm sorry about last time. I'm hot tempered.

Are Hwang and her mother in?

Hwang and sis?

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma...

I came here to talk to you and your mother. Is she in?

She went out.

Then follow me.

What's your intention?

Tell me.

There must be some reason why you changed your mind.

Do you think I might take the baby? Is that why you're doing this?

No. I sincerely want to get back together.

If that's the reason, I'll give up on the custody.

You wanted that, right?

I feel so betrayed, I can't let you in.

You told me to my face that you didn't want Tae-Il back.

Now you're saying something else.

Do you think that little of us?

I was sincere then.

Tae-Il wanted to remarry, so I sincerely wished him happiness.

Shut up. You and your damned excuses.

Here.

If you promise you won't meet him again, I'll give you these custody rights.

Otherwise I'll consider he is no longer my son.

Make a choice.

If you want to tear us apart... I can't do anything, but I'll never accept you.

Make a choice.

I'll do my best.

If you give me one more chance, I'll try to be a good daughter in-law.

Answer.

Answer.

You won't?

If I had to choose, I'd choose to be with him.

What? What did you say?

I promised him. Not to sway. For the baby's sake.

What?

Who is it?

It's me. Hyun-Ja Song.

What are you doing?

I'm really sorry. I got a call from my sister.

I apologize. Ignore what my brother in-law said. I'm sorry.

My sister is in a bad situation, but she did that out of good will.

You don't have to worry.

What are you talking about?

Anyone would do that much for the child she left.

Do you want to take credit for that?

No. I didn't mean that.

Your family is impossible.

You refused to have your kids tested when she was dying.

And he barged in to demand money for a transplant.

Why is everyone in your family like that?

Do you know how her birth father was?

He showed up when she was a senior, and got into an accident.

She tended him for 10 years.

She struggled to pay for the hospital bills until he finally passed away last year.

Do you know that?

No. I really didn't.

Can ignorance excuse everything?

You did nothing for her...

...and you refused to have your kids tested. Do you call yourself human?

Are you really her birth mother?

Go. Don't ever come back.

Okay?

Go in. It's still cold.

Go in.

Why were you so cruel?

She came here to apologize. You didn't have to be like that.

I mean...

Are you taking her side?

No. I mean...

Let's talk. We gotta finish this long war.

Ok. I'll follow you.

Ok.

I'll ask one last time.

Can't you give consent?

I did everything to have you consent. There's nothing more I can do.

Now I have no choice. I'll start preparing for the wedding from tomorrow.

I'll ask one last time. Give us your consent.

I really love her.

Do you think I will?

I won't.

Ok. You leave me no choice.

Sit! How dare you.

I'm not done yet.

I did everything to make you give up.

And I think I'm right.

I have every reason to oppose. I'm confident I made the right decision.

Any mother would oppose.

I'll ask one last time, too.

Do you know what this is?

This is rat poison.

Mom.

You know I can do this, right? You know I'm not bluffing.

So answer carefully.

If you disobey me and push the wedding, I'll drink it.

Mother.

If you marry her against my will, what do I have to live for?

There's none.

I lived all my life for you. I don't want to live any more.

Mom!

Answer. Will you go on with this wedding?

Answer. Will you?

Will you?

Okay.

If you're that adamant...

I can't let you die.

I'll drink it.

You...

Why did you stop me!

How...

Are you insane? How could you...

How could you do this to me?

It's over. Really. It's over.

Where are you going? Where?
