Jung-wook...

Are you awake now?

Oh my, who is this?

It's Hwa-kyung!

Oh my!

It's so nice to see you, Hwa-kyung!

It's been a long time!

Yea...

Madam, my mom is...

Let me take a look at you.

You're completely fine!

I've heard that it's hard to recover from high-blood pressure.

Oh my!

You may have lost your husband and your child,

but you're going to live for a long time!

My goodness...

Oh my...

What do you mean I've lost my husband and my child?

Song-ah, what's she talking about?

Madam, my mom needs to be examined right now.

Right this moment?

Yes.

We have to go right now.

I'll see you again soon. Mom, let's go.

I can't simply leave...

I haven't have time to catch up with Hwa-kyung yet.

Mom, we're going to be late for your examination.

We'll be leaving.

Oh no...

Yea, I'll be back to see you.

My legs...

The person you have dialed is not available...

Koo In-soo, you always ignore your wife's calls!

Seriously...

I thought I needed to be examined?

I'm sorry Mom, I lied.

I didn't want her to see you like this.

Why not?

Hwa-kyung's my closest friend, so why can't I see her?

You can remember up until 12 years ago,

but you haven't fully recovered yet.

I was in shock when I found out,

and I'm sure she'd be in shock as well.

Do I seem awkward in front of people?

No, it's not that...

Don't deny it.

You keep treating me like a patient.

But I'm not hurting at all.

Really, I'm fine.

Are you angry?

Mom.

I hate the smell of disinfectants and I can't stand the food here.

I really want to go back home.

What's going on with Laura Kang's proposal?

You told me that you'd submit it,

but I haven't heard anything from you yet.

Brother's been working with Laura Kang to finish it.

Why is she working with Kang-mo instead of working on it alone?

We expect synergy, by combining Laura's creativity with Kang-mo's planning.

I want you to not only look forward to Laura Kang,

but Kang-mo's capabilities as well.

I'll be satisfied as long as he doesn't ruin it.

He likes to play, and he doesn't like to work.

I told you not to come to my office, so why are you here?

It's because you won't get my calls!

I already have to deal with your nagging at home.

Must I listen to you during the day as well?

Honey, I...

Get out.

Out, out. I'm busy right now.

It's something important!

I already know what you're going to talk about!

Hey, Kang-min.

Take your mom out of here.

Get out!

Talk to me outside.

Let go of me!

I always say what's on my mind!

Jung-wook is awake!

Why do you look so surprised?

And now you've got the hiccups?

Stop standing there and pat me on the back!

I hate having the hiccups!

Okay.

If you insist that I pat you on your back...

Mom!

What do you think you're doing?

Your hiccups are gone now.

What?

Director Hong is awake now?

Gun-woo's been lying to me.

The consumers of water purifiers have been interested in the filters.

I think this will be an issue.

The type of filter determines the quality.

So we'll need a filtration system of our own.

The replaceable filter will be the key.

Do you think we can develop such a thing in time?

It's currently in development, but time is the issue...

If we partner up with a materials company,

we'll have a great chance,

Let's get in touch with some companies right way.

Mom, what brings you here?

I'm stopping by on my way from the chairman.

We meet again, Madam.

I'm Kang Se-na from the product development team.

It's been a while.

Have you been well?

Is she the reason why Kang-mo's been straightening up?

Stop looking at her like that.

You're making her feel uncomfortable.

Manager Kang, would you like to have tea with me?

Ma'am?

Mom, why would you want to drink tea with her?

Are you seeing anyone, Manager Kang?

Ah, I'm a very straightforward person.

I hope you can understand.

Don't mention it.

I prefer being straightforward.

Really?

We have that in common.

I'm not seeing anyone at the moment.

With work, I don't have the time to date.

What do your parents do?

They both passed away.

Oh my.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to bring that up.

It's alright.

I'm not ashamed that I grew up without parents.

I have an auntie that gave me a mother's love.

Oh, I see.

Then what does your auntie do?

She owns a restaurant in Korea town in New York.

It's nice to see someone so young and confident.

I'd say that your auntie did a fine job of raising her niece.

People say that the environment affects people's lives.

But I don't believe that.

Because difficulty can be overcome.

I want to become someone who can overcome my environment.

Goodness!

You speak so well!

Our chairman is known to be very particular, yet he trusts you.

Thank you for your kind words.

Yes, Chief.

I was looking at the proposal you gave me...

and I need some clarification.

Can you explain this to me?

When?

What do you mean? Now.

What?

Why? Are you busy?

What if I go to the hospital?

Is it urgent?

Do you think I'd go to the hospital if it wasn't urgent?

It is. It's really extremely urgent.

Yes.

Okay.

Then I'll see you in a bit.

Yes, yes.

You want a half and half chicken?

Yes, I understand.

And two radishes?

Yes, I got it.

Thank you!

Busy, busy!

Hey, Han Ra-bong!

I'm busy with both hands here!

What's been taking you so long?

I've been studying and I'm taking a break.

Do you think you can lie to me?

I really did memorize some English words.

Tell me what you've memorized.

This is driving me crazy!

What's the use of reading a book...

when I forget everything afterwards?

Mom, what's the matter with me?

I was broke so I went hungry often when I had you.

You look completely normal,

but you've got the brain of a fish.

So I don't want to study anymore.

Then what will you do?

I'll start a business.

A rental business.

Tada!

Why are you touching Se-na's things?

She's going to flip when she finds out that you're touching her things.

Don't worry.

I'm not making it obvious.

I make good money by letting my friends borrow her things.

Really?

How much do you make per rental?

Do you want in?

There's no law that forces me to fry chicken all day.

I could do a rental business on the side.

So we'll see how this turns out with my friends...

before we seriously decide on a rental business.

You're definitely not book smart,

but you've got the mind for business.

What's this?

What is it?

It's a picture she took with a man.

Can it be Cha Gun-woo?

[2003, on a bright, spring day]

Bingo.

The guy's definitely a looker!

He looks rich, doesn't he?

Yea.

Seeing how she clings onto him,

he's from no ordinary household.

Goodness.

I can understand why Se-na would fall for a lawyer who looks like this.

That's why she doesn't care about any other man.

I know, right?

Thank you for bringing such fortune to Kang Se-na.

Please help our Se-na!

You always pray when you want something.

And in helping her,

help me move off of the side of this mountain.

Please help Se-na help me...

You've arrived?

I wanted to see the director too,

but why did you want to meet out here?

Please sit down, Chief.

Okay.

How is the director doing?

She's getting better,

but she hasn't changed much from before.

Don't worry.

She'll wake up soon.

I'm working on a project development proposal with Manager Kang.

That's good.

What's so good about it?

Since you left, the TF team has dissolved.

Our TF team has a long list of projects.

So as soon as the director wakes up,

you'll have to come back to the office.

What is it you don't understand?

Yea...

This here.

This is a list of common problems with water purifiers.

And this supplements the list.

Ah.

It's not bad, but try and think of a way you can market this.

Is there something on my face?

Wipe it off.

Tell me the truth.

You found out before you came, didn't you?

Of course.

I'm your superior, am I not?

I'm here to see if you know you've done it correctly.

Do you think I'm really here to hear your explanation?

Oh, is that it?

It's nice to see you smile again.

I could make you laugh some more if I wanted to.

Do you want to laugh?

Watch carefully.

I've never done this anywhere else before.

I'm only doing it once.

Stay strong, super-power~

I'll be heading back now.

I walk you to your room.

No, I'll go alone.

Why are you so jumpy?

It's nothing, Chief.

Please excuse me.

Goodbye.

Mom!

Yea, Song-ah.

Mom, why are you out here?

It's stuffy in there.

Go back inside.

Why are you locking me up in that room?

Mom, come on.

The director's awake, but why is she keeping it to herself?

Yea, so you saw her briefly?

Yes.

Song-ah said she needed to be examined,

so we couldn't speak for very long.

- But Honey. - Yea?

I think she's changed.

How did she change?

She's cold hearted,

but she suddenly turned into a warm person.

The way she speaks now,

it's like when her husband was still alive.

Really?

She's changed 180 degrees since her ordeal.

Um...

Is there anything else you noticed?

I don't think so.

Oh, aren't you hungry?

We haven't had ramen in while.

I can put in green onions, and an egg...

I don't want any ramen.

Use the anchovy broth to make some hot noodles.

I've dug my own grave.

The noodles weren't bad for once.

You've got very particular tastes,

but the truth is that I cook well.

That was beef broth.

And you ate all of it!

Why are the two of you coming back together?

We got off work at the same time.

A man has to meet the right woman.

What are you talking about?

You don't have to know.

Sit down, I'll go and get some tea.

Honey, what do you think about Laura Kang?

Why do you care about her?

The more I see her,

the more she reminds me of a younger me.

What, what did you say?

Don't you think so too?

She's just like a younger version of me.

Are you losing your eyesight already?

You need two magnifying lenses to correct your vision.

What did you say?

What I'd do to that old fogey...!

Mom, stop sweating the little things.

Do you think I'm overreacting?

The little things are what make us laugh and cry!

You're going to have a nervous breakdown again.

Stop getting all worked up.

When it comes down to it,

we'll all people living on a rock floating in space.

Bro, that's deep.

I give the both of you an education,

and now you're flaunting it in my face.

Mom, if you don't know about this...

You!

You better not give me homework again!

Please, at least try to eat.

It's the only way you'll get better.

How many times have I told you that I'm okay?

I'm going home.

I can't stay here any longer, Song-ah.

Let's eat before we discuss it.

Mom, why have you changed so much?

You never used to throw fits!

Do-joon. You'll startle her.

You didn't eat anything yesterday either.

Mom, you need to eat, at least for us.

Won't you have some, Mom?

Yea, call out Gun-woo too.

Yes, Father.

Why don't you ever ask about Kang-mo?

Yea, so how is the director doing?

Anything new?

She's the same as you've seen her.

Her condition seemed hopeless.

Is she in the same condition?

She'll get better soon.

Are you really visiting the hospital?

Ma'am?

Why are you being ridiculous?

We both know that she's awake now.

You didn't know?

I was at the hospital last night, and I saw that she's awake.

But I think Jin Song-ah's hiding the fact that she's awake.

Everyone has their reasons for remaining quiet.

But some things cannot stay hidden.

There are no such things as secrets.

Han Ra-bong!

Han Ra-bong!

Why, Se-na?

Did you touch my things?

No, no...

I never touched your things!

Why? Did you lose something?

Do you really think we'd touch your things when we know how you'd react?

Then why am I missing a bag?

Which bag are you talking about?

There's so many, I don't know which you're referring to.

The pink, alligator skin bag!

Oh, that?

Did you touch it?

No, but I think I saw it under your desk.

Oh my...

Are you going to have a nervous breakdown?

What the...?

Why are you getting angry with me?

I don't know why doctors stop at plastic surgery.

The one who discovers personality surgery What's in there anyways?

What's in there?

None of your business.

Get out!

Okay...

Everyone sit down.

This is the new proposal.

You don't like it?

We simply improved the one that you liked before.

Kang-mo, what are you doing?

You've completely ruined Laura Kang's ideas!

Father, you're being too hard on him.

Haven't you read it yourself?

This wasn't an improvement!

I'm sorry.

Apologies work in school, not in the real world!

Kang-mo, you're out of product development.

Father.

I prefer capabilities over birthright,

You can leave.

Please go on ahead, Manager Koo, Chief Koo.

Do you have something more to say?

It's about Director Hong.

Sit down.

Chairman, do you know about the director's current condition?

My wife told me that she woke up...

So you don't know the entire truth.

Director Hong did not wake up normal.

What are you talking about?

Don't you think Jin Song-ah has her reasons

for keeping it a secret?

I'll arrange a meeting with you and the director.

Why are you telling me this now?

I want to become one of your people.

Do you want to have a drink tonight?

There's no need for that.

It's not the first time.

I've learned to shut out most of what he says to me.

It's a shame.

What is?

The fact that he doesn't see your potential.

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

No one I know has a better memory than you.

Kang-mo, he's rather impressive.

Yea, Gun-woo.

Why didn't you tell me that the madam saw the director?

I totally forgot...

I'm sorry, Gun-woo.

Kang-mo knew that she woke up too.

I told you not to trust anyone.

I'll be there after work,

so make sure that the director stays there.

Yea, I'll do that.

Who was that?

He's the person whom I'm to marry.

Song-ah, you're about to get married?

Yes.

Do you remember my tutor in high school?

Yea, I remember.

Wasn't his name Gun-woo?

You're right.

I'm going to marry Gun-woo.

You've given me your approval.

I see.

From what I remember, he was a very nice and courteous young man.

He came by on the day you woke up.

Do you remember that?

I'm not sure.

I think I remember.

I'll have to see him again.

We'll do that.

Why are you smiling?

I was thinking that it's not all bad.

Jin Song-ah.

How long are you going to remain so positive?

Where are you going?

I don't have to report anything to you.

Should I give you a tip?

Do you know how people like us can succeed?

You climb a rope.

I thought you forgot.

Mom.

What did the doctor say?

He said that he'll release you.

Is that true?

He thinks you'll recover better at home.

That's great.

I really wanted to go back home.

I came back to Seoul this morning.

I've been fired, so I'll have to find another source of income.

Okay.

Mom, stay right here.

I need to sign some things.

Can you stay here alone?

Don't worry about me and go.

I'm not a patient anymore.

Right.

You're no longer a patient.

Hyun-ah.

Hyun-ah?

Hyun-ah!

Hyun-ah!

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Next Episode]

You betrayed me!

What will you have me do?

Retrieve the information that Director Hong has on me.

I'll prove that your rope leads nowhere.

Se-na.

Stay away from the director.

The chief is drunk and incapacitated?

Jin Song-ah?

You don't know how I feel about you.

Thank you.

I see that you have a warm heart.

What?

How can you leave my mom alone?

Mom!

Mom?
