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.
