(Final episode)

"Prozac"?

I've been getting therapy for about three months now.

Apparently, I have masked depression.

Why didn't you tell me?

I felt obligated to show you only the good sides.

I told you...

that I love you for whom you are.

I didn't want to show you...

my dark sides.

I didn't want you to be disappointed in me.

And I was worried you might get hurt.

The doctor told me I feel obliged to be nice to everyone.

But to be honest, I'm not that nice.

Of course, you're nice.

I think those kinds of comments give me an even harder time.

I feel the need to be nice...

so that people don't get the wrong idea about me.

And that way, I'd save your face.

A divorcee, who used to be a housekeeper,

suddenly married the son of Seorin's late chairman.

People slandered and misinterpreted me.

Some whispered behind my back...

and made up false rumors.

And I tried not to let that bother me.

But to be honest, I was really angry.

I wanted to get angry at them, but I couldn't.

I felt like I should suppress my anger.

You should've said something.

Being nice doesn't guarantee any kind of happiness.

The fact that you were miserable enough to get depressed...

means there was a problem with how I treated you as well.

I wouldn't call it a problem, but I think it's because...

you always consider me as a strong woman.

So I didn't want to show you how weak I was.

But if I think about it,

I don't think I'm that strong.

I just kept telling myself that I was.

I was so blind to notice how you were feeling.

I'm so sorry.

It's because I love you a lot more.

From now on, I want you to be honest with me, okay?

Tell me if you don't like something, and express your anger.

Even all the little things.

Even if you send me signals, I might not be able to catch them.

I'm not sure where to begin,

but would you like to hear me out?

(Personality Test, Lee Ji Eun)

(Personality Test, Seo Jung Min)

It says Ms. Lee has a lot of anger inside her.

Meanwhile, Mr. Seo doesn't.

Did you know that your wife had a lot of pent-up anger?

No, I had no idea.

If you didn't,

that means she tried hard to hide her anger from you.

Ms. Lee.

It says you also feel very isolated and have a high inferiority complex.

That means you tend to focus on your weaknesses.

If you focus on your weaknesses, it'll make you feel small.

And that will only cause you to get angry at others and yourself.

It may look like you get along with others,

but you're always anxious...

hoping they won't notice any of your faults.

So you also have very high stress levels.

On top of that, you even feel obligated...

to be nice to everyone.

So it looks like you've become used to hiding your true self.

Then should I not be nice anymore?

Is it okay to express what I don't like?

You should start expressing yourself more honestly from now on.

Aren't you ready yet?

I'm almost done.

Hurry. We'll be late.

The conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra is very old,

so this might be our last chance to see him.

I'll hurry up and get ready.

Do you have a lot to do?

I can finish it tonight.

Do you not want to go?

Nonsense. You've been looking forward to this, so we should go.

I forgot about all the stuff she did for me too.

I thought the love between us was all that we needed,

but I guess I was just a selfish guy who only cares about my feelings.

How did you feel when you found out that your wife is...

suffering from masked depression?

It felt like someone took a sickle to my heart.

She's getting better thanks to you.

So don't worry.

What's most important...

is that you acknowledge that it's not your fault.

Okay.

How does it feel now that you've told your husband...

what you've been hiding?

I feel a lot closer to him.

It didn't seem like he was disappointed...

even though I showed him my flaws.

What was it about?

The director at the competing company is also a woman.

And she always goes around talking behind my back.

I didn't say anything to her face,

but I got so angry that I called her as soon as I got home.

I told her I won't stand still if she made false rumors about me.

But the thing is, she talked so eloquently,

so I was lost for words.

But that's when my husband took my cell phone and said this.

"Just mind your own business."

He said that and hung up.

Then we both laughed for the longest time.

Ms. Lee.

Are you aware that compared to when we first started therapy,

you smile and laugh a lot more?

- You want to go to work, don't you? - No.

Be honest with me.

I know you want to go to work.

You're the one who wants to relax.

Ji Eun, do you know something?

You're a lot more charming when you're laid back like this.

Then I'm glad I stopped...

trying to be so perfect.

But still, get rid of the sleep in your eyes.

Do you not like it because I look filthy?

I'm still head over heels for you,

and I don't think it will ever end.

I feel the same way.

Gosh, I can't be bothered to go to work.

Then you should also take a three-month leave like me.

My goodness.

I need to bring home the bacon for my wife and kids.

By the way,

are Mr. Kang and Yeo Jin more comfortable around each other?

Things are still a bit awkward,

but Yeo Jin is putting in a lot of effort.

Right.

They'll need time to get used to each other.

But still, it's a huge blessing.

that the father and son found each other again.

It may have been a coincidence, but I think there was a reason...

why Yeo Jin kept hovering around my stepdad.

Did you enjoy your honeymoon?

Yes, it was fun.

Did you not get sick from the different food and water?

No.

Tae Jun.

Oh, right. You asked us to call you Yeo Jin.

I'm living with your father now. So although I'm not your mother,

I still think I have the right to say a few things to you.

Stop it.

Go ahead.

You have no idea how much your father cried...

because he had to sit in the guests' seat...

instead of the parents' seat at your wedding.

You should forgive your father...

and start being more friendly to him.

He didn't lose you on purpose,

and you know very well that he spent his entire life...

looking for you like a madman.

I'm guessing you crawled out since you were a baby.

And fortunately, your adoptive parents found you...

and called the cops.

But that darn officer...

forgot to put your name on the list of missing children,

and that's why you ended up never coming back.

My goodness.

Your adoptive parents have accepted everything now,

and they even told you to feel free to visit him whenever you please.

But why do you still feel so awkward around him?

Stop being so hard on him.

That's not how he feels.

You need to start respecting your husband a bit more.

Will you two please give us some space?

You can't force anyone to become families with someone,

but you can't just cut ties either.

Your father lived in regret his entire life...

for having lost you.

You'll understand him once you have kids yourself.

Stop nagging him and give us some space.

Go ahead and say what you want to say.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For not letting you sit in the parents' seat at the wedding.

It's okay.

My adoptive parents raised me with so much love,

and I didn't want them to feel betrayed.

I understand.

I found out I was adopted...

when I was in middle school.

I thought I was abandoned by my biological parents,

so I was full of resentment.

And when I was in high school,

I even tried to look for them.

I'm sorry.

If...

If it weren't for Bok Ja,

I would've made some bad choices in life.

I decided to accept my adoptive parents as my own,

and although it was hard,

I finally stopped hoping to meet my biological parents.

And I stopped thinking about them over time.

It took a lot of effort for me to get over that.

But I suddenly found out...

that you were my biological father.

And to be honest...

To be honest, I feel so taken aback and confused.

But...

a few days back,

I came across the videos we shot together.

And as I watched the videos,

I could see how desperate you were to find me,

and that really broke my heart.

Thank you.

It's going to take some time...

to start calling you "Dad".

I'll wait.

I won't make you wait for too long.

Okay.

But...

can I still give you a hug?

(Seorin)

Aren't you up for the idea?

No, it's not that.

But Ji Eun should be the one to decide.

Her decision will be based on...

whether or not you decide to support her.

You're right.

I guess you're not up for it.

No, it's not that.

I'm not against it. But I'm just worried.

Ji Eun's a lot better now,

but she tries to do everything so perfectly.

So I'm just worried she might get stressed...

with trying to juggle both work and childcare at the same time.

But whose idea was it?

The board members all agreed,

and Mr. Kim strongly recommended her for the position.

He thinks Ji Eun is the best person there is...

for the CEO position.

You also mentioned the same thing in the past.

You said Ji Eun has a flexible mindset, sensitivity,

tolerance, and leadership...

and that her strength is how she has the ability...

to quickly put things to action.

Don't you remember saying that?

I remember.

But you were totally against it. What made you change your mind?

After Ji Eun became the director,

our sales have started to soar.

And like you said,

Seorin is considered a more trendy company now.

We're not only a socially responsible company,

but I'm reassured that she has the ability...

to build and establish a sturdy business.

And your wife is a superwoman.

Just tell her to do it.

Just let her do it.

Can I be honest with you?

I honestly wasn't that happy when I heard...

you got offered the CEO position.

We promised to be honest with each other.

Does it offend you?

Yes, it offends me.

No, I'm kidding.

I'm so happy that we can be more honest with each other.

When I'm with you,

I can be myself now, and that makes me comfortable.

What are you going to do about the CEO offer?

What do you want to do?

It's appealing, but it's a bit pressuring.

In order for a married woman to work,

I need to keep a balance between work and family.

But that's not easy.

In the past, I thought I'd be able to have both...

if I put in a lot of effort.

But now I've realized that it's hard to have both.

Yes, it's not easy to have both.

But...

with you, it's possible.

I took paternity leave.

I'm a father of two twins, so it's double the term.

So don't worry.

My husband is the best.

I must say, I really got lucky.

Ji Eun.

Show me what you can do as a working woman.

Of course.

Thank you.

(Inauguration of CEO Lee Ji Eun)

Did you make sure to keep it simple?

We kept it simple like you asked.

Here's your speech for the inauguration.

It'd be boring to just read what's written here,

but thank you for preparing this for me.

(Inauguration of CEO Lee Ji Eun)

There she is.

You're all here.

The launching fashion show is more important than the inauguration.

So please get rid of all the wreaths here.

Okay.

Congratulations.

You keep getting promoted, and it makes me so proud.

You really did support me a lot.

You know you're my role model, right?

I was just a housewife before we met,

but you helped me become a career woman. Thank you for that.

You guys are the original members of Bisang Textile,

and I won't forget the hard work you put in.

Congratulations on the inauguration.

Thank you for coming amid your busy schedule.

Congratulations, Ms. Lee.

I will do a better job of supporting you.

Are you two seeing each other again? You came here together.

We just met outside.

I was waiting for her.

I'll see you later.

CEO Lee.

My goodness, when did you come from France?

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

I just came in for a while.

I was asked to do an exhibition.

Thank you and congratulations.

I heard all your paintings get sold out...

every time you hold an exhibition.

Her paintings are worth a lot more now...

because I bought all her paintings.

My gosh, you're my patron. It's the least you can do.

Don't you think it's time you find a different patron?

It should be your chef boyfriend. Baptiste Giavi, was it?

It's Baptiste Giabiconi.

Your man is here, honey.

- I'm here with your son. - Welcome.

Ji Eun, congratulations.

Thank you.

Ms. Lee.

Thanks to you, I'll be able to take a trip around the world.

Thank you.

There are lots of couples who fight and break up when they go on trips.

Is that what you want?

Danny, do you not like me?

I don't really care.

My goodness.

Once we arrive in France,

we'll visit your boyfriend's restaurant.

We'd like to meet Chef Baptiste Giabiconi.

Sure. I really hope you come.

The minister is here.

Let's go and say hello.

See you later.

Ji Eun, you were always diligent,

sensible, and clever.

I knew you were one of a kind the moment we first met.

You always put in your best effort in everything you did.

Your passion creates energy,

which also creates a spark.

You're someone who sparkles with passion.

You'll be a great CEO.

Congratulations once again.

Thank you.

I'm not going to compare myself...

to all the great CEOs of Seorin.

I will focus on myself,

set goals with a wide perspective,

and think with a flexible mindset.

I will acknowledge that I'm not perfect,

challenge myself with everyone at Seorin,

and have the courage to put things to action.

Isn't your mom amazing?

I'm the guy she chose.

Don't forget that, okay?

I will always think of a better path for the company...

- and do my best to work hard. - Yes.

That's right.

- Mommy's great. - Yes.

(New Season Show with Fantom Sports)

The 2021 SS designs...

were designed with pastel colors to give them a refreshing look.

And we used light and cool fabric...

to minimize the inconvenience while playing golf.

The outfit you're seeing now was matched with a flared skirt...

to make the outfit look more lovely.

It's a must-have outfit for going on dates and playing golf.

We wanted to show that anyone can look stylish...

wearing our products even if you're not a model,

so our employee put on an outfit to show you that.

The ruffles that remind you of spring give off a lovely look.

We tried to design something people could wear on a daily basis.

The products designed by Seorin...

can be worn anytime throughout the entire year...

because they're comfortable and stylish.

That was amazing.

Great job. You did great.

I'm so proud of you, sweetheart.

I had no idea you'd become so successful.

You're amazing.

I'm so proud of you for not letting despair...

get in the way of your success.

I was able to come this far thanks to you, Dad.

Do what your heart tells you to do.

If you do that, you won't ever get disappointed.

Ji Eun, you don't need to worry about me anymore.

Now that I'm doing what my heart tells me with Dad,

I feel so happy every day.

I'm getting ready to get a license in electronic publishing.

That's great. I'm sure you'll do well.

I'm so satisfied with my life.

I'm so happy to have both of you as my daughters.

Me too.

I was scared of love...

not because it might break but because it might change.

But here's what I learned after I met Jung Min.

Love doesn't change.

You just come to love different people.

We once faced a crisis.

And I have no idea...

what we'll go through in the future.

But like always, I will continue to keep walking toward my love.

Love may not continue to be as exciting as it was in the beginning,

and things could get a bit mundane.

But I will never get tired of loving my man.

Love becomes complete only when you continue to love.

Even if you're in love, it can dwindle.

And we might fight since we're married and living in reality,

but I will always be grateful for this woman...

and continue to love her forever.

Ji Eun, you're the woman who completes my love.

You're beautiful as always,

Ji Eun.

You're sexy as always,

Jung Min.
