Original subtitles

What's that supposed to mean?

Be more clear about what you want to say.

If you keep forcing things upon me like this,

I won't be able to live with you.

You won't be able to live with me?

Well, then don't.

Let's get a divorce.

How much more do I need to put up with you?

Do you think you're the one putting up with things?

Do you know how exhausted I am...

because of how unbelievably stubborn you are?

That's enough.

We're only going to talk based on our emotions.

You're the one who got emotional first...

and told me you won't be able to live with me.

I gave everything up for you.

Why can't you do the same?

I even ran away from home so I could be with you.

I never asked you to do that.

I was always the one who had to accommodate you.

I see.

So that's what you've been thinking all along.

I guess you're not wrong.

I liked you first.

I clung onto you when you wanted to break up.

And we only started living together...

because I had run away from home.

And I'm sure you never planned on having a baby.

The person who has a bigger say in the relationship...

is the one loves less.

And that's why you're unwilling to sacrifice yourself for me.

Ji Eun.

You were always my priority.

You only care about your own feelings, don't you?

I'm trying really hard to bear with everything...

since they're your parents.

But I'm also human.

Have you ever thought of things in my shoes?

I really have nothing to say about how my parents...

humiliated you.

But still, they're my parents.

If you love me, you need to forgive them.

Shouldn't the assailant apologize...

in order to get the victim to open up?

You know yourself...

your parents haven't accepted me from the bottom of their heart.

They wanted you back,

so they had no choice but to act like it.

They just need time. Time to get to know you better.

I'm not trying to take their side.

But you're their son-in-law which means you're family.

Can't you just give in first?

Working at your father's company. Living at your parents' house.

Just the thought of it makes me feel suffocated.

Do you really have to say it like that?

Regardless of how much I love you,

there are some things that I just can't do.

It's not that you can't. You just don't want to do it.

I can see right through your cunning mind.

You're just trying to use Ji Eun to get yourself some money.

Just be honest with me.

How much do I need to pay to get you to break up with Ji Eun?

You may have entered K University with the highest grades,

but you never graduated, so you're a high school graduate.

I don't want a son-in-law who's a high school graduate.

(Episode 15)

Here you go.

I'll pay for it.

Forget it.

Shouldn't you have stayed by Ji Eun's side...

even though she told you to go home and sleep comfortably?

How could you just leave her here and sleep in peace?

Seriously. What's your problem?

We gave you our approval, so you should be grateful.

Your thoughts and opinions don't matter anymore.

Just focus everything on Ji Eun.

Why are you just standing there?

Go and get Ji Eun's medicine.

You still have time until you get discharged.

Eat some more.

I'll eat comfortably at home.

Did you fight with that punk yesterday?

Mom, will you stop calling him "that punk"?

You decided to approve of him, which means he's your son-in-law.

Okay, fine.

It's hard to talk nicely about him...

because I feel like he stole you away from me.

What did he say? Did he agree to move in with us?

We're still talking about it.

You fool. Why are you letting him drag you around like that?

If you don't get your say this time, he'll be stubborn forever.

Just push things ahead.

You're pregnant with his baby, so there's nothing he can do.

He'll just have to do as he's told.

I already have a headache...

thinking about how I'm going to get your father to approve of this.

He should know his place and be grateful.

Your dad might get angry to see you back at home...

when he comes back from his business trip.

But don't talk back to him. I'll take care of everything.

You need to take one more test.

You'll be able to get discharged in the afternoon.

Lie down and get some sleep.

You need to eat and sleep well for your baby.

I'll come back in time to help you get discharged.

(Medicine, Lee Ji Eun)

I really don't like how he's behaving.

Did you see what he just did?

He just left without saying goodbye to me.

He should be nice and try his best to win my favor...

instead of being so sour.

It's because he feels awkward and uncomfortable.

If you start being nice to him,

I'm sure he'll start doing the same.

You know they say mothers-in-law love their sons-in-law the most.

I wanted a son-in-law who could be like a son to me.

But that's gone down the drain.

I was unlucky with my husband and son.

And it's the same with my son-in-law.

I hope this little one is going to be a son.

Where did you go so early in the morning?

Yesterday,

Ji Eun got hospitalized.

What? Why?

She has tinnitus.

But it's nothing serious, so she'll be fine.

My goodness.

But it looks like you're the one who needs to get hospitalized.

What brings you here so early in the morning?

What?

Oh, I was just passing by, and I thought I'd drop by.

It's difficult to live with your in-laws...

even if they really like you.

But they treat me like I'm some sort of an insect.

There's no way I can live with them.

My gosh.

What if Ji Eun continues to stand her ground about this?

- I'll have to convince her. - My gosh.

I'm not talking on her behalf.

But if I were her,

I would also want you to move in with my family.

Ji Eun isn't an ordinary girl.

She's the successor of Bisang Apparel.

I'm not against her working at her father's company.

I just don't want to get involved.

My gosh.

Come on. You're being absurd.

It's not like she's going to be an average employee there.

Do you really think it'll be okay to live separate lives like that?

In the end, you'll fall apart.

And it will be hard to maintain your marriage.

Like it or not, your in-laws are a conglomerate family.

Things would've been a lot more simple...

if you were a man with ambition.

I'd rather live a decent and happy life than to be rich.

I want to enjoy a simple life with my family...

and do my best with work.

Yes, I get it. I know you're not materialistic.

But don't you think you're just making it sound nice?

What if Ji Eun's family was kind and welcoming from the start?

Would you still have refused?

I really don't want to admit it.

Se Hoon, listen.

You're too smart to be doing woodwork.

If the circumstances were okay, you wouldn't even be doing this.

That's why you majored in business.

You should go. I don't want to hear this anymore.

Did Ji Eun ask you to do this?

Don't jump to conclusions.

If I have to choose a side, I would choose yours.

I'm your friend.

Gosh, you're making me feel upset.

Okay, fine. I'll go.

You should get some sleep.

It looks like you didn't sleep a wink.

- You think he won't even budge? - No.

He's unbelievably stubborn about it.

But then again, it's not an easy decision to make.

You should give him some time instead of forcing it upon him.

It could make him even angrier.

He's not the only one who knows how to be angry.

It was so hard to get my parents to approve.

If we don't accept my parents' offer,

they'll never give him a second chance.

I never told him that because I knew it would only upset him even more.

Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

Bye.

Doctor Jung says you can go home.

You can get the imaging exam at the OB-GYN next week.

Why can't Se Hoon be more flexible?

If he had asked a nurse or a doctor about it,

you could've gone home earlier instead of waiting for so long.

Get changed. Let's go home.

Let me call Se Hoon and tell him that I'm getting discharged.

Tell him to come home since we're going to leave now.

("Architectural Material and Design")

(Ji Eun)

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to...

Isn't he picking up?

He's probably working right now.

He can't hear the phone ring when he's working...

because the machines are so loud.

Listen to me, sweetheart. Don't try to be smart with me.

That punk...

I mean, Se Hoon...

I guess I should call him by his name...

now that he's your husband.

He's not picking up on purpose.

He's just trying to scare you.

Listen to me carefully.

If you want him to become a member of our family,

you need to make him get used to a few things.

He needs to learn to enduring things.

He needs to learn not to disobey his elders.

He needs to get used to that if he doesn't want to cause trouble.

You know better than anyone...

that your father is very authoritative...

and he always expects people...

to be obedient with him no matter what.

And of course, I'm not easy to please either.

I'm saying Se Hoon needs to accommodate us...

in order to have peace in the family.

And if he keeps that up,

I'm sure your father and I will eventually come around one day.

He's probably refusing to move in right now,

and he won't listen to you just because you beg.

A clash is inevitable.

So brace yourself.

Depending on what kind of choice you make right now,

your future and your baby's future will change.

(Ji Eun)

Ji Eun is getting discharged. I want you to come home.

You can't just tell him to come home...

and hang up like that.

Did you not hear what I just said?

We need to discourage him and make him come to us.

The way we behave affects how we think.

If he's a smart guy,

he'll make a decision on his way.

There's nothing like home, is there?

Of course. Home is the best.

When is my brother-in-law moving in?

My gosh, you really are cheeky.

You've never even seen him,

but you're calling him your brother-in-law already?

My smart and competent sister is coming back,

so I should win some brownie points.

My best trait is my capability to adjust.

Thank you for welcoming me, Young Eun.

I wouldn't think of it like that.

It's just that if you come back home,

Mom will nag at me less.

It'll be uncomfortable for me to live with my brother-in-law,

so can you get me an apartment near school?

You're so strange.

Why do you even ask when you know I'll refuse?

To give you a hard time.

Well then, now that you guys are back to loving each other,

I'll leave you guys to talk.

I actually had a precognitive dream about your baby.

You came back home with a big basket...

of peaches.

Do you know what that means?

If you dream of fruits that have big seeds like peaches,

it's most likely that you'll give birth to a boy.

And it also means he'll live a wealthy life.

You were able to come back home thanks to your baby,

so I guess he really will live a wealthy life.

If he moves in with us,

his child will be raised in the best environment,

and he'll get to live in abundance.

So why is he being so difficult?

I just can't seem to get it.

I can't believe he still hasn't called back yet.

Where are you going?

I'm going to my room so I can lie down.

You should just wait until he changes his mind.

There's no need to be anxious.

You're pregnant, so you have the upper hand.

How dare he give my daughter a hard time?

I decided to give in...

and let my daughter have her toy,

but he's making me very upset.

(Seorin)

(Chairman Seo Mun Su)

You always do everything you can to get what you want...

because you're obsessed about winning.

And I'm well aware of that.

Thanks to your tenacious and persistent character,

you beat your siblings and managed to inherit the company.

Why are you suddenly here giving me a speech...

after having been gone for a while?

Do you want me...

to come back to the company?

Of course. Who else would I want to hand over this position to?

Let me speak my mind today.

If I come back,

I want full authority over...

the strategy team.

What do you plan to do with that right?

We need to become a transparent company.

We're transparent enough. There's nothing wrong with us.

We need to be legitimate and reformative...

in how we manage the organization.

And we need to get rid of the team that deals with the labor union.

Did you leak the layoff plan?

No.

I shredded it with my own two hands.

I don't get how it got leaked.

I'm sure someone left a copied version.

The laborers are trying to ask for a retrial.

If people find out about the layoff plan,

they'll start condemning us.

Then that could lead to a social stigma,

and people might end up boycotting our products.

That's why we should use this chance to admit what we did wrong,

fix the wrongdoings,

and become an ethical company.

That way, our company will be able to last...

for more than 100 years which is exactly what you want.

The higher the mountain, the deeper its valley.

It's hard to rise to the top,

but plummeting to the bottom is easy.

What if we do as you say and get rid of the all bad...

only to be left with nothing?

We'll have financial difficulties and become unstable.

Then all our subcontractors will go bankrupt.

Why would I do something so reckless?

If we don't change now,

our company will...

eventually rot and be stagnant.

That's enough. Fish can't live in clear water.

Do you know why? Because they starve to death.

Stop talking nonsense and just do your job.

Why aren't you answering me?

(Resignation Letter)

I'll just live...

the life I want to live.

If I approve of Na Kyung,

will you get back on your feet?

I know what she's after now, so I don't want to be with her.

But of course, I plan to take responsibility of my baby.

And I'm going to register him as my son.

You were always so obedient.

What's making you act out like this?

Do you have depression?

I just want a different life.

I need to change...

in order to have a different life.

I guess you do have depression.

Jung In.

You're not entirely wrong.

But I'm not entirely wrong either.

If you also leave, all my children will end up becoming failures.

No other relationship is as strong as a parent-and-child relationship.

They say it's a relationship that was given to us by the skies.

Do you want Ji Eun to cut ties with her parents?

No, it's not that.

There's a saying that goes, "Fathers know best."

It means parents know best when it comes to their children.

Ever since you were a kid, your mother could never...

make you change your mind every time you were stubborn about something.

The fact that you're being stubborn...

means you still have something pent up inside.

I can't seem to open up to Ji Eun's parents.

That's why I can't seem to give in.

It does seem like they accepted you because they had no other choice.

But still, they reached out to you first.

If you don't give in this time,

things won't work out between you and Ji Eun.

I don't know...

what I need to do. I just can't seem to handle it.

Yes, I understand. They really did put you through a lot.

So I'm sure it's not easy to change your mind about them.

Let's go.

Go where?

Let's go drink some soju.

(Chairman Lee Sang Bum)

Hasn't he called yet?

Don't mind him. Just go to bed.

Why are you so anxious?

Your being like this is the reason why he won't get off his high horse.

My goodness, you're making me so angry.

My gosh.

- Where are you? - I'm home.

I guess you came alone.

Is Se Hoon refusing to move in?

Let me ask you one last time.

Must you live with him?

Dad.

Without him, my life will become meaningless.

It's not just because of the baby. I really love him a lot.

If one of us needs to give in, it'll probably be me.

I'm sorry.

I want to support you and inherit the company later on,

but he's more important to me.

Let's hang up.

Did you hear that?

She's willing to give everything up for you.

Ji Eun once told me...

that the person who loves more has to give in.

She got down on her knees right here.

That's why I decided to give in to her.

Must you win this fight with Ji Eun?

Do you want Ji Eun to sacrifice her life for you?

I was too narrow-minded.

I'll do as you say.

When you have a daughter,

you're never happy with anyone she meets.

However decent a guy may be,

you can't help but feel like...

your precious daughter deserves more.

Once you accept your reality, things will become a lot easier.

If you stop dwelling on the past,

it will no longer be a problem to you.

If you decided to be my son-in-law,

you should become someone I need.

Then I'll give you what you want.

Okay.

What's going on?

I'll start trying my best.

Well, okay.

You should take Se Hoon to your room.

Okay.

It's hard to control other people.

But you just need to induce them.

In order to make Se Hoon swallow his pride,

you just need to tell him what he wants to hear.

The fact that he has a big ego means he's soft inside.

And knowing about something and hearing it are different.

If he hears that you're willing to give everything up for him,

he'll choose to give up instead.

I don't feel so comfortable about this.

My feelings for him are sincere.

But I feel like I'm deceiving him to show him that.

No matter how much you love someone,

you should never show that person everything about yourself.

Situations can be made.

And I will do that for you.

You just need to keep your promise and give me the shares...

that you receive from your mother.

Se Hoon is here. Let's hang up.

We already put him through a lot.

So we shouldn't try to fight him.

We need to tame him instead.

I wrote up a prenup.

I wrote that he won't be getting a single penny from us.

I'm sure you did a good job of that.

It's what the Jo family is good at.

What made you change your mind?

I thought you were against him.

I plan to teach Ji Eun what she needs to learn...

and have her take my place...

so I can stop being your family's servant.

Are you going to let your brother take over the company?

No, of course not. Ji Eun should have it.

Exactly.

We need him in order to keep Ji Eun on the right track.

So don't provoke him for the time being.

They'll naturally have conflicts as they live together.

And he might willingly decide to give up on the way.

I guess you're right. He's a very stubborn guy.

He won't last long in our family.

And the baby can stay with us.

Lots of people get divorced these days anyway. It's not a flaw.

Things wouldn't have come this far if you hadn't been so hard on them.

You should've known your daughter better.

Ji Eun always needs to get what she wants.

That's why I told you not to get involved...

and to let them be.

No love lasts forever.

She would've eventually gotten sick of him.

You're blaming me again? Seriously?

I guess everything will find its place again.

Ji Eun is back,

and she'll inherit the company.

Do you really think you stand a chance against me?

I'll use Ji Eun...

to bind you and your brother hand and foot...

and make sure I get what I deserve.

I missed you.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

I forgot...

that I had promised to give in no matter what happens.

I won't forget that again.

I'll protect you forever.

All that's left is for us to be happy.

You're right.

We're going to be happy.

It's dangerous to love someone too much.

One day, Se Hoon will realize...

that we can abandon him...

and that he can always get discarded.

(Phoenix 2020)

The chairman is here!

We need to do the groundwork...

for the slush fund...

that got sent to the gallery,

so make sure the numbers are correct by the next morning.

You should know your hands get dirty when you're in finance.

You need to become someone useful to the chairman.

This isn't the Ji Eun I expected. It's all so burdensome.

Why is my name on the paper company list?

This is the last time I'll let you use me like this.
