(Episode 28) You want to know?

Who the father is?

I have a daughter, too.

So I sympathize.

Imagine if it was Sejin.

You think I wouldn't do anything?

Tell me.

If I can help you in any way, I will.

I appreciate it,

but you can't help me.

Why is that?

Because he's dead.

He is?

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'd better go.

You're a proud girl, so you won't want to...

But still, take this.

My husband wants to do something for you.

He's busy enough

with his work.

I'm giving it on his behalf, so take it.

And let's not meet again.

I'm making this request of you.

I heard Sejin is getting married soon.

Use that money for her wedding.

Nayeon.

Good job.

Lee Nayeon, you did so well.

Taejun is dead now.

You can't see him

or touch him

or hear his voice.

What? What are you talking about?

The caterer who came to cook for us.

She's Nayeon.

The girl who was

sent to the orphanage 20 years ago, remember?

Really?

She deceived us all

and came to our house and cooked for us.

Unbelievable.

Did you just go and meet Nayeon?

Yes.

No matter how hard I think about it,

I could call the first time a coincidence,

but I don't understand her coming a second time.

Unless she had an ulterior motive.

So? What did Nayeon say?

What did she say to you?

Whatever.

She said she wanted to come back here

because it brought back memories.

But I just don't buy it.

What kind of motive could she have?

It's been over 20 years.

I wish that were true.

Don't ever meet with Nayeon again.

What would you have to see her for?

It'll only make you upset, like today.

She's a single mom.

You saw her?

You saw Nayeon's daughter?

How do you know that?

Whether the child is a girl or a boy?

When she came to cook for us,

she said she had a daughter.

Really?

Just how did she behave herself?

Why did she up and have a baby?

She's no ordinary girl.

She's just as cheeky

as she was 20 years ago.

So why would you meet with her?

Sejin.

Why won't Taejun answer his phone?

(Jeju Tourist Shopping Center Proposal)

In order for construction to survive,

it must join hands with tourism.

There are rumors of Seorak Tour facing bankruptcy,

so we must take over Seorak Tour

and build a tourist condominium complex

and street-type shopping complex

specifically designed for Jeju Island.

But there already are plenty of condominiums.

I'm not talking about regular condominiums,

but a Korean Wave condominium complex.

By selecting the real Korean Wave stars

and not the stars who lack substance,

if we hold camps for overseas fans

and develop it as a special package tour,

it will be a great contribution

to both Baekdo and the Korean tourism industry.

Construction is a declining industry,

but the idea of combining it with tourism

is quite encouraging.

The problem is the funding.

Considering Baekdo's current financial status,

the risk is too high.

We can resolve that issue

by selling AP Foods.

AP Foods has a slim chance of revival.

The spark might have already gone out,

and spending more energy on AP Foods

might cause irreparable damage

to Baekdo Group itself.

You're saying that selling is the only option?

In order for a company to become strong,

it must know what to discard

and what to focus on.

If we delay it, we'll lose the chance to sell,

and we might go down with it.

Is it the best choice

to abandon a child due to his shortcomings?

A sick child is still your child.

For a parent company,

subsidiaries are like children.

I'm curious about

how much effort the parents made

to help this weak child

before thinking of abandoning it.

Hello, Sejin.

Dad, mom found out.

She found out that Nayeon was our caterer.

She went and met her this morning.

What?

She met with Nayeon?

Fortunately, I don't think Nayeon said anything.

But I'm so nervous.

If mom finds out about Taejun,

she won't be happy at all.

Don't worry too much about it.

Nothing's going to happen.

Okay.

I told my wife not to get involved,

but she went and met Nayeon?

Mr. Jang acted in such an unexpected way.

Everyone's been saying he must be incompetent,

but he made quite an impression.

As I told you before,

please be careful with what you say.

Yes, sir.

- You may leave. / - Yes, sir.

Your mother met with Nayeon?

She knows about everything?

Fortunately for us, I think

all she knows is that Nayeon was our caterer.

But the fact that my mom met with Nayeon

means they could meet again.

What if Nayeon holds a grudge

and tells her everything?

No need to get ahead of yourself.

Nayeon isn't that kind of person.

You're taking her side right now?

Mr. Park.

Wow, this is a great hideout.

Is this where you sneak out to call Sejin?

This is a nice spot for private calls.

I'm jealous of you two.

I heard you went on a blind date.

I hope it works out. I'm rooting for you.

You can go ahead.

I'll finish this before going in.

I see. Please excuse me then.

Taejun.

Do you feel uncomfortable around me?

Of course not.

I'd like us to become friends soon.

Don't be so formal when it's just us two.

I'm Sejin's uncle,

and that means I'm your uncle, too.

Yes, sir.

Nayeon?

Why is this so bitter?

Good medicine is always bitter.

Does Taejun know Nayeon, too?

No, why do you ask?

Weren't you talking to Taejun just now?

I thought you mentioned Nayeon.

Well...

It came up while I was telling him

that the caterer was someone I used to know.

You're eavesdropping on my phone conversation now?

What?

What are you doing?

What's wrong?

What's all this?

You snuck into my room

and were trying to steal my lingerie!

No, I wasn't...

Whoa, don't try to deny it.

You're a pervert, aren't you?

You steal women's lingerie, don't you?

It's not like that...

I found them!

These are my favorite briefs!

But...

Why were these with your underwear?

Explain to me. Hurry!

How would I know?

Lee Eunbong,

do you collect men's underwear?

Tell me the truth.

You have a weird mental issue, don't you?

What?

Whoa, how dare you call me crazy?

Is that all you think of me?

I can't live with you like this. Okay?

Shouldn't you say you're sorry?

Ms. Baek, why are you calling me again?

Ms. Lee?

I read your article on the catering service.

It's nice. Not only does it deliver information,

but it also has a human side to it.

You called me to tell me that?

This personalized catering service manager...

Aren't you close with her?

I got a hint of your affection toward her

while reading this article.

Yes, you're right. She's my little sister.

Oh, no wonder.

Is that all?

I'm a bit busy right now.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't you think you hate me a bit too much

for that article about Jang Sejin and Kang Taejun?

I have a feeling we could get along well.

Let's get dinner sometime. Or drinks.

My treat.

I'm crazy about all alcoholic beverages,

but I never want to be your drinking buddy.

I'm a major grudge holder.

That seems to be the case.

I do hope we meet someday.

Oh, and that caterer...

Is it okay if I contact her for her service?

Sure. If you need catering, call her yourself.

Goodbye.

She really is a major grudge holder.

Hello?

Oh, how are you?

No, today is good.

Come in. Sit down.

I told you we should eat out.

Why would you waste your money?

I thought about it, and I remembered that

I had some crabs in soy sauce in my fridge.

Nayeon...

I mean, someone I know made it,

and it tastes out of this world.

She's allergic to crabs,

so she can't eat it,

but she loves to cook for other people.

Who is she?

Your future daughter-in-law?

What? She's somebody I know.

These are the side dishes she made

just for me.

Well? Doesn't this look delicious?

It does.

You said your son was successful,

but he won't buy you a nice apartment?

He will when he gets married.

Ah...

You don't know my future daughter-in-law, do you?

Have you heard of Baekdo Group?

She's the granddaughter of the owner.

Really?

Your son sure did get lucky

by meeting her.

He takes after me, so he's really smart

and quite handsome.

You must be happy

to have such a smart, handsome son.

But didn't you say

you had a son my age, too?

What?

I don't know where he is.

If he took after his dad, he must be

full of himself and very stubborn.

His dad was like that.

It was so bad

that I divorced him and gave up custody.

But I'm a very sharp woman.

I knew where to turn to.

I could feel it in my gut.

Of my two sons, I clung to the successful one,

and look at me now. I have rich in-laws.

My life is going to change completely.

Here, eat up.

Where did he go?

Did he go to the bathroom?

Okay.

I'll make you regret it.

Just you wait until I marry Geumbong.

Stop pouting.

Don't pout like a duck at a chicken restaurant.

It's not like I'm Cinderella.

How can you make

your precious baby girl do all this hard work?

Maybe you're a stepmother.

Oh, you didn't know?

I'm sorry. I'm your stepmother.

So you have to serve chicken here

to pay me back for feeding and clothing you.

Mom!

Today's chicken will be delicious.

It smells great.

Geumbong.

I met my biological mother again.

She must have felt something, because she teared up

and hugged me when she saw me.

She said I reminded her of her long-lost son.

Segwang...

Where are you?

I'll come over and comfort you.

Don't be so good to me

if you're going to leave me, too.

Segwang...

How sad...

Segwang, if you stay faithful,

I won't leave you.

What's wrong with her?

Where are you going?

The bathroom!

I have to tell you when I go to the bathroom?

You'd better not go out again.

Where are my father and mother?

They're having dinner right now.

They have a guest. You should say hello.

A guest?

Hello.

We were so hungry that we started without you.

Dohui brought mung bean pancakes

for your father.

We only just started eating.

Ma'am, can you bring rice and soup for Hwigyeong?

Sure.

Father, please try this.

This was the important appointment you had?

I'm sorry I canceled on you,

but your father invited me to play Korean chess,

and I didn't want to say no.

I figured I'd see you anyway if I came here.

I'd kill two birds with one stone.

How can you joke about this?

What are you trying to do?

Me?

I told you.

The real thing will start now.

By starting something,

do you mean digging into someone else's divorce?

Stop being cheeky, and leave things alone.

Don't go after that woman.

Aren't you upset about the whole thing?

The parents of your ex-wife

wouldn't let her marry her boyfriend,

so she married you instead.

She kept seeing him for a year after your wedding.

And she's still meeting that man.

That's none of your business!

She's an innocent victim.

You're a despicable cheater who ruined your family.

That's what the world was told.

But I want to know

the truth about what happened.

The truth?

Are you talking about

the truth behind my divorce?

Or is this your morbid curiosity about that woman?

I have no interest

in your divorce or your ex-wife.

What I want to know about

is you.

The truth about the man named Park Hwigyeong.

And your innocence.

I...

I never want to face

the mess I was seven years ago.

I don't even want to be reminded of it!

So let it go.

Are you asking that of reporter Baek Dohui?

Or asking the woman who wants

to find out about you?

I'm asking the woman Baek Dohui,

who wants to find out about me.

Okay then. I'll stop.

So, how shall we carry on with our show?

If we end it, your father will be disappointed.

Let's keep it going for now.

Are you sure?

You won't fall for me?

You're not sure, right?

I'm not sure, either.

I'll get going.

I'll take you home.

Honey.

Look at this.

Is that Dohui's article?

You act like her biggest fan,

and that's why Dohui won't give up.

I'm not saying this because she's my daughter,

but her articles make keen criticisms.

And they encourage our society

to become a better place.

A sense of justice and criticism are all good,

but before she's a journalist, she's our daughter.

She's too reckless,

and I can't let her act that way anymore.

She knows how to control herself.

Is that how she got herself kidnapped?

But that happened three years ago.

She won't let that happen now.

We have to make her quit as soon as possible.

Look at this.

It's not Dohui's article.

This is a magazine I found in Dohui's room,

and there's someone who does personalized catering.

The food looks so nice and appetizing.

Really?

Next week is Dohui's birthday.

She made me promise

to hire this caterer for her birthday

and prepare a big feast for her.

She's never wanted that before.

But keep it simple.

Should we go with Korean food or Chinese food?

If it weren't for Dohui,

this house would feel like a desert.

Hold on. Let me answer the phone.

Hello?

Catering service?

Yes, it's fine. Go ahead.

I got your phone number from the magazine.

My daughter's birthday is next week.

Do you do birthday parties, too?

Of course.

If I might ask, how old is your daughter?

She's 32 years old.

She's a journalist.

I see. Are there any dishes

your daughter likes or dislikes?

She's not picky.

She's really easygoing.

Oh, but no crustaceans, please.

She's allergic.

Oh, I see.

Since it's next week, we have ample time,

so I'll call you back with a potential menu.

Yes. Thank you.

Good night.

Crustacean allergies are more common than I thought.

And our birthdays are close together.

Mom, you have another job?

Yes, I have another job.

Mom, do you make a lot of money?

I'll make lots and lots of money

and buy you delicious candy,

pretty clothes, and pretty dolls.

Hooray! Great!

- Let's go to bed. / - No.

This will bother you when you lie down.

I want to wear it to bed.

My dad sent it to me.

I like dad's hairband.

Mom,

can I hold that teddy bear when I go to sleep?

You want to do that?

But you don't want me to.

You hate that pretty lady.

You could tell? You saw that?

No.

I don't hate that pretty lady.

It's just that I'm upset at myself,

because I'm so awful.

You can hold the bear when you go to sleep.

I'm sorry, Saebyeol.

Mom.

You're prettier than that lady.

Thanks. You're the best.

- Mom, I want to go to bed. / - Okay.

Teddy, come sleep next to me.

(Taejun)

What's up?

Did you wait long?

No.

I'm sorry. I know it's late.

Are you here because of Sejin's mom?

You're worried?

That I might have told her everything?

I can't deny it.

Don't worry. That's not going to happen.

Just like you wanted,

I killed Kang Taejun.

Sejin's mom asked me who Saebyeol's father was,

and I told her he was dead,

because you're dead to me.

You can never come back to life.

This is my final gift to you.

Don't look so upset.

Just like you wanted,

you have Sejin, the woman you love.

Your success is right around the corner,

so what is there to fear?

You should try to look happy,

or Sejin will get suspicious.

Goodbye.

Saebyeol...

Is Saebyeol doing well?

Of course she is.

She loves the hairband you got for her.

Thanks.

Let's go inside, mother.

Sejin always arrives 15 minutes early,

so why is she so late today?

I think it's because

she's bringing my mother with her.

That's what I'm saying.

Why did you make a pregnant girl

go and fetch your mother?

She could've just ridden a taxi.

I'm sorry. I should've stopped her.

Sejin wanted to do it,

so don't look so upset, and give her time.

I'm trying. Very hard.

Excuse me for a minute.

Okay.

Oh, my stomach.

What's wrong with my stomach?

Oh, no!

Mother, are you okay?

Now that it's out, I feel better.

I'll go to the room.

Come to Angel Room after you're done.

Okay. Angel Room.

This woman again?

Is she trying to ruin everything again?

Yes, hello.

Do you think that lowering your voice

to sound sophisticated will change who you are?

Pay me back the money you owe.

What?

What the heck are you talking about? What money?

The $500 you borrowed

when we worked at the sock factory.

You haven't paid me back, remember?

Nayeon and Taejun aren't together anymore,

so we should settle everything, don't you think?

Sure. Fine. I'll pack back

that measly $500.

What? $10,000?

Are you a raving lunatic?

How dare you ask for $10,000?

You lent me $500,

but you're asking for $10,000 in return?

Where did she go?

I'll go and check.

No, I'm sure that mom went to the bathroom.

I'll go and check on her.

Fine.

I'll give it to you.

The moment Taejun's wedding is over,

I'll wire the money to you,

so don't ever call me again.

If you people don't bother Taejun,

we'll have nothing to worry about.

If Nayeon doesn't show up at the wedding

and try to ruin things, we'll be fine!

Hey, I'll give you that money,

so keep Nayeon in line

until my son's wedding. Got it?

How dare she demand $10,000...

Mom.

What are you doing in here?

Mother.

Why would Taejun's mother

mention Nayeon?

Taejun is such a manly man.

He made another baby.

The only thing you can do for me

is go away.

Invite him over for dinner.

How about tonight?

You're the mother of Nayeon's friend?

We lost touch after she went to the orphanage.

This is what we're going to wear

for the reception after our wedding.

That's my dad.

I'll bring the girl's late father back to life.
