Dan-dan!

Dan-dan, stop!

Dan-dan!

Dan-dan!

Dan-dan!

Dad?

Dad?

Dad!

Dad. Oh, no. My gosh.

Oh, no. Please wake up.

Dad, please.

Dad, please wake up.

Dad!

Oh, no.

Dad…

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

-My goodness. -Soo-chul!

-Soo-chul. -My gosh.

Soo-chul, what happened?

What happened to him?

Soo-chul, what happened?

Soo-chul, it's me.

Open your eyes.

What on earth happened, Dan-dan?

Why isn't he opening his eyes?

Did he hurt his head?

You were there when he got hurt.

Tell me what happened!

Dad was following me on his motorbike.

What? Does that mean this happened because of you?

Why did you run away in the first place?

What are you going to do now?

What if your dad dies?

Yeon-sil, will you calm down?

Don't yell at Dan-dan. She must be shocked.

Honey. What are we supposed to do?

Honey, please don't die on me.

Yeon-sil, calm down.

Soo-chul isn't going to die.

Dan-dan, was his doctor here?

What did they say?

Fortunately, he's fine.

He just broke his left arm, so they put him in a cast.

I see.

Are you sure he's fine?

But he hurt his head in the accident.

He should be hospitalized for additional tests.

We'll get the results tomorrow morning.

What? He needs additional tests?

Are you saying Soo-chul might be brain-dead?

-Yeon-sil. -What do I do?

Yeon-sil, why would you say such a horrible thing?

Why would he be brain-dead?

She's right, Yeon-sil. Don't say such a horrible thing.

I'm sure Soo-chul will be fine.

Mom, Dad will be all right.

So will you please calm down?

-Mom, he's opening his eyes. -His eyes are open.

Honey, can you see me?

Soo-chul, I'm your sister. Do you recognize me?

Can you see your family here?

-Yes. -Thank goodness.

My gosh. Honey.

-What a relief. -Dan-dan…

Dad. Are you all right?

Dan-dan, you can't be with Chairman Lee.

Don't go back there.

Just stay home. Okay?

Dad. Why are you being like this?

-Hey, Dan-dan! -My goodness.

Honey.

Mr. Lee.

My dad…

He got into an accident because of me.

What do you mean?

Ms. Park, slow down and tell me what happened.

Well, the thing is…

I ran away from home.

My dad came after me on his motorbike.

And he got into an accident.

So he was taken to the ER.

He finally regained consciousness.

But as soon as he woke up,

he told me to break up with you.

What do I do, Mr. Lee?

Ms. Park.

Which hospital is he in? I'm on my way.

We'll get the results tomorrow morning.

If everything is fine, he can go home.

You should go home now. I'll stay with him tonight.

Yes, Mi-sook. Jun-o, take your mom home.

Okay.

Call me as soon as you get the results, okay?

Okay, I will.

Gun, take Mom home.

Dae-beom, go take care of our restaurant.

Okay.

Grandma, Uncle Gun. Let's go.

Dan-dan, go home with your grandma.

No, Mom. I'll stay here.

Yes. Let Dan-dan stay.

She wouldn't feel comfortable at home anyway.

We'll go home. You stay here with your mom.

-Okay. -All right. Let's go.

Get some rest, Soo-chul. See you, Yeon-sil.

Okay. Bye.

Can you go out and get me something to drink?

I want to talk to Dan-dan.

What?

Okay.

Can't he talk to Dan-dan when I'm around?

Why does he always leave me out?

If he weren't injured, I would've thumped him on the head.

This is why Dan-dan looks down on me.

Dan-dan.

You see Mr. Lee every day while working in his house,

so it won't be easy for you to get over him.

Like I said before, just quit immediately.

If you don't see him,

you'll forget everything soon, as if nothing happened.

Dad.

I don't just have a fleeting crush on Mr. Lee.

I've thought it over hundreds of times.

But no matter how I look at it,

my feelings for him are true.

I like him very much.

So can't you just trust me and support my decision?

-Dad, please. -Dan-dan.

I'm begging you now. Aren't you going to listen to me?

This just isn't right.

What…

I heard you were injured. How are you feeling?

How dare you come here?

Who told you to come?

Get out of here this instant.

Dad, don't be like that.

I told him that you were injured.

He came here out of concern.

It happened because of me. I'm really sorry.

I don't want to hear that from you.

Dan-dan will quit working for you.

So pack her stuff and send it back right away.

Dad, please.

You're old enough to know better.

What on earth are you doing with this kid?

Aren't you ashamed?

Dad, you're being ridiculous.

Honey, calm down.

Send him away.

Chairman Lee, maybe you should leave now.

My husband just got into an accident, so he's not feeling well.

We can talk next time.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I hope you get better soon.

Dad, I'm telling you.

No matter what you say, I will never break up with him.

Dad, I'm sorry, but I should go with Mr. Lee.

-Mr. Lee, let's go. -Dan-dan, stop right there.

Let's just go.

Ms. Park.

Stay here. You should take care of your father tonight.

I'll get going then. Please take care.

Dad, you're unbelievable.

Mr. Lee came all the way here to visit you.

I'll just go see him off.

-Dan-dan. -Honey.

She's just going to see him off. Stop it.

My gosh.

It's me.

Why were you so startled?

You caught me by surprise, hugging me from behind.

I don't see why it would startle you so much.

Aren't I the only woman

allowed to hug you from behind?

I guess you're right, but it was just too sudden.

What are you doing here? I told you to stay.

You came all the way here,

so I wanted to walk you to the parking lot.

Let's go.

You're happy that I'm seeing you off, aren't you?

Are you touched?

Yes, I am happy. I'm touched.

We're here already.

This won't do.

I should take you to the building again.

It's okay.

I'm here to see you off,

so you should go first.

Then I'll leave once I see you heading inside.

Go on inside.

You go first.

I will go inside once I see you drive off.

You're so stubborn that no one can change your mind.

I give up.

It's cold out. Go inside.

Mr. Lee.

Let's keep fighting.

Okay. Let's keep fighting.

-I'll head back now, then. -Bye.

I'm sorry, Mr. Lee.

What should we do now?

Poor Dan-dan.

I don't think my uncle will give in.

I don't think he will either.

I never even dreamed that Dan-dan

would date someone so shocking.

I've only seen this on TV or in movies.

I had no idea I'd witness it in real life.

None of my friends are

dating anyone much older than them.

More so than the age gap,

I think Uncle Soo-chul is more upset that he has three kids.

But then, I don't know any couples in the same situation.

It is quite shocking.

What would you do?

What if your future daughter is in this situation?

You're going way overboard.

I'm not even married. Why would I think about my daughter?

I said "what if."

Actually, we're more of an issue than Dan-dan and Mr. Lee.

Jun-o. What do you think will happen to us later on?

Our situation isn't that shocking.

It just so happens that we share an uncle.

So, Mi-rim.

Don't worry.

Mi-rim. Shall we go over there and have a fishcake?

Yes, let's.

Dear, I need you to give me some money.

Not much, just 50 million won.

My friends and I decided

to go to Hawaii for some fresh air.

Mother.

I've told you many times before.

I can't give you money in addition to your allowance.

Tailor the trip to fit your budget.

Well,

I'm not crossing the Han River.

I'm going to Hawaii.

Still, Mother. My dear husband told me

not to give you any money in addition to your allowance.

You know he told me to never do that.

So I'll just pretend that I didn't hear this request.

Okay?

Honey! Sweetie! I'm home!

My goodness. My dear husband is home.

Honey. Sweetie.

I bought you a diamond necklace.

Oh, my gosh. Darling, thank you so much.

What kind of diamond is this huge?

It's beautiful.

Do you like it, sweetie?

So much.

It's even prettier because it's big. I love it so much!

That gave me the chills.

If that were to happen, what should I do?

No way. That can never happen.

Yes, I must tear them apart.

I will crush that family of frauds down to their roots.

I shouldn't waste time.

Oh, my. What brings you to my home?

Are you here to apologize to me?

Hey, you. The root of all fraud.

I get you that like and crave money,

but how dare you even think of nabbing Chairman Lee?

Trying to take Se-ryeon wasn't enough,

so you turned your niece into a gold digger

to try to take over my household?

What did you just say?

A gold digger?

Are you talking about Dan-dan?

Yes, you root of all fraud.

You schemed all this, didn't you?

How could someone so much younger

even go for Chairman Lee?

-She's the definition of a gold digger. -My goodness.

Tell her to leave Young-kuk alone.

Tell your niece to leave my house.

Do you think I'll just sit by and do nothing?

My gosh. This is unbelievable. Look who's talking!

I might not own a company like FT Group,

but I have enough to live in comfort!

That's why wherever I go, no one looks down on me!

That's why I can't accept Chairman Lee,

and my brother Soo-chul also disapproves of him!

Our sweet, young Dan-dan fell for a much older man

who even has three kids, and my brother Soo-chul

is in the hospital right now in utter shock!

What, you people disapprove of Young-kuk?

Do you think I'll believe that?

I don't care if you don't!

At least, we're not like you. We don't sell our family!

Watch who you're talking to!

What? What did you just say?

When did I "sell" my daughter?

All you do is cling to a rich family and con them!

-What? My gosh! -You!

You're the root of all fraud, and you're the ringleader!

-Do you want a piece of me? -My goodness!

-Do you? -Oh, my gosh.

They say it takes one to know one.

You're just as bad!

Just so you could get a chunk of your company's shares,

you tried to sell off your daughter.

Am I wrong, you mistress?

What was that? Did you just call me a mistress?

You ringleader of a fraudster family!

-Darn you! -Let go of me, you rich mistress!

-Let go of me! -Rich mistress!

-Will you stop it? -Get off me!

-You! -You!

Ms. Jo, she called me a mistress.

She said I tried to sell my daughter!

Ki-ja, that mistress called me the ringleader

of a parasite family.

That's what she said!

You are the root of all fraud!

-That's what you are! -No!

-Darn you! -Stop it!

-Stop it! -You mistress!

-You'll pay for this! -Darn you!

-You're nothing but a mistress! -Stop it!

-You root of all fraud! -You mistress!

-You need to stop! -You mistress!

Mi-sook is Ms. Park's aunt?

You really can't trust anyone.

Why did she keep that from us all along?

Did you really have no idea?

I had no clue.

Is Dae-ran right about Mi-sook?

Maybe she really planned the whole thing.

So her niece could get close to Mr. Lee.

Why didn't you figure that out before?

No, that can't be right.

Mi-sook isn't that bright.

Is Mr. Lee out of his mind?

He broke off his engagement to you just to date a country bumpkin?

My gosh, how unbelievable.

I'm lost for words. This is so hard to believe.

But that part about Ms. Park's father

not approving of Mr. Lee. Is that true?

You were there when she said so.

That he locked Ms. Park in a room

to stop her from seeing Mr. Lee.

But why should we care who Mr. Lee dates anyway?

Don't pay him any attention. I'm sick of that family.

That root of all fraud.

Mr. Kang, forget going home. Take me to the office.

Yes, ma'am.

How dare the likes of her belittle me?

I'll make her pay.

That ringleader of fraud.

CHAIRMAN LEE YOUNG-KUK

You're old enough to know better.

What on earth are you doing with this kid? Aren't you ashamed?

Chairman Lee.

I just saw Ms. Jang.

Are you really considering marrying Ms. Park?

Did you visit her family?

I did.

Is that all you can say?

Her dad disapproves of you.

The family shut the door right in your face.

Goodness, how embarrassing.

Hey.

I'm worried people might get wind of this.

How could you be rejected by those parasites?

Did you come all the way to my office

just to tell me that?

As if there's a more important matter.

Does it embarrass you that I'm mentioning this in public?

Then get a grip.

Have you forgotten

how your father built this company?

His blood, sweat, and tears went into this place.

But here you are

trying to marry into that parasite family

just so they can live off your father's accomplishments.

I don't care if that gold digger has you wrapped around her little finger.

I bet your father is turning in his grave.

Ms. Yoon, Ms. Kim, come in here.

Please escort her out.

Chairman Lee!

And from now on, she is not to enter

my office or the building without my permission.

Let the front desk know.

Yes, Mr. Lee.

-Ms. Wang, we'll escort you out. -No, let go of me!

Hey.

I lived with your father for over 20 years,

and I'm the mother of your sister!

That makes me a mother to you as well.

This is not how you treat a parent.

You rude brat.

Move!

Unbelievable.

Your brother banned me from his office.

He's treating me like some peddler.

Why did you barge into his place of work then?

Should I sit around

until that minx marries Young-kuk?

I'd rather kill myself

than receive my allowance from her.

Young-kuk didn't say he'd marry her anytime soon,

so why are you throwing a fit?

You don't know the half of it.

He introduced himself to her family. Do you know what that means?

It means marriage must be on his mind.

What? Young-kuk introduced himself to Ms. Park's family?

That's right.

But her father is against them dating

because he's an older man with three children.

It's truly flabbergasting.

Is that true?

Yes, of course!

Ms. Jo, what brings you here?

What are those flowers for?

I'm here on behalf of Ms. Jung.

I'll be your florist from now on.

Are you saying you work at Ms. Jung's flower shop?

Yes. It just kind of happened.

I see.

By the way, where's Ms. Park?

Something must've happened to her.

According to Jae-ni, her father

took her home with him.

I bet it's because…

I received Ms. Jung's message.

The flowers have to be placed in the two living rooms,

Mr. Lee's room, his study,

and Ms. Wang's room. That's five rooms in total.

Though I'm sure you're well aware.

Of course. I hope we get along then.

I like the flowers.

They smell nice.

Ms. Jo, thank you for everything.

Se-jong, hi.

Ms. Jo.

Se-jong, have you been well?

Yes.

Se-jong, how about you go upstairs,

put down your backpack, and wash your hands?

-I'll have your snack ready. -Sure.

You know what? I don't mind the humiliation.

Being able to see my Se-jong is enough.

Dad, now that you're home with no serious injuries,

I'll head back.

Would that be okay?

Dan-dan, let me take you.

We'll grab some tea first.

No, you don't have to. I can manage on my own.

You shouldn't move around. You're still recovering.

No, it's all right. Let's go now.

We'll go and collect your things.

Dad?

You shouldn't stay there.

Do as I say.

Dad, what's wrong with you?

I told you how sincere my feelings are.

Isn't that enough to make you rethink this matter?

Why are you so dead set against us dating?

I'm 27 now. I'm an adult.

I have a right to choose whom I love.

Dan-dan, please.

I wouldn't have started this if your disapproval was going to stop me.

Besides, I'm still the children's tutor.

I have work to do.

I'll get going.

Dan-dan!

Honey, that's enough.

Why do you want to chase after her when that's how you got hurt?

Let go of me!

Mr. Lee.

Ms. Park, why are you here?

Is your father doing better?

Yes, his test results showed no serious injuries,

so he was discharged.

Really? That's great news.

But why are you back here?

Did your father

give us his approval?

No.

I left the house against his will again.

Mr. Lee,

I'm not going back home.

I know this will hurt my dad,

but I made myself clear to him.

That I have a right to choose whom I love.

Mr. Lee, as long as we trust each other and we're happy,

my dad will come around.

So,

you have to stay strong, okay?

I won't let this

sway me either.

All right.

I will never change my mind, so don't you worry.

Mr. Lee.

Ms. Park.

Have you not had lunch? Are you hungry?

Come to think of it, I skipped breakfast

and lunch.

What?

You skipped breakfast and lunch?

Come on. I'll treat you to pork cutlet.

Sure.

But Mr. Lee, are you sure we can hold hands

so close to the office?

What's wrong with me holding my girlfriend's hand?

Mr. Lee, you're so cool.

What is he doing, right outside the office?

What if someone sees him holding Dan-dan's hand?

Kids, I'm back!

Jae-ni, Se-chan, Se-jong!

-Ms. Park? -Ms. Park?

Are you back for real? Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

I know you were worried about me.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

I'm just glad that you're back.

Talk about a family reunion.

It hasn't been that long, you know.

Ms. Park, you should never leave.

Thanks for welcoming me home.

Come in.

Anna, what brings you by?

Are you out of your mind?

Out of my mind? What are you talking about?

You and Ms. Park were hugging and holding hands

right outside the office.

How can you be so careless?

-Anna… -Young-kuk, this is wrong.

How can you date her when she's only 27?

What if people get wind of this?

They'll point fingers at you for dating a young woman,

and Ms. Park will be the center of people's gossip.

How can you be so stupid?

Anna, that's enough.

Things are already tough for us.

Why on earth are you being this way?

I'm speaking up because you're clearly not thinking straight.

You need to get a grip.

Don't you have a daughter of your own?

How would you feel if Jae-ni were 27

and was dating a man 14 years her senior with three children?

Would you be able to give her your blessing?

Anna…

Young-kuk, we have an urgent matter to discuss.

Young-kuk, think it through.

This is just wrong.

I overheard everything.

She yelled at the top of her lungs.

What's up with her?

I get that you two are like family,

but that's crossing a line.

Her worries weren't channeled at you.

She was acting like she was Ms. Park's mother.

Mr. Kim, can you pull over?

Yes, sir.

How many hotteok do you want?

-Two for me. -Two for me as well.

-Two? Ten? -I want a thousand.

-What, 1,000? -You can go. I'll get home myself.

You'll have 100 or 1,000?

That sounds delicious.

-Exactly. -I know.

-Did you say 1,000? -Yes, 1,000.

I'll have 10,000!

It's Dad.

What…

Where are you all off to?

We're getting hotteok to celebrate Ms. Park's return.

Come with us.

Hotteok? Nice. I was actually craving some too.

-I'll come with you. -Sure.

-Come on. -Let's go.

I bet it'll be good.

Dad, how many are you going to have?

Me? Well…

-Four? -Five?

-Hey, look. -No, really.

Ms. Park, Dad. Let's take some photos.

-What do you say? -Sounds like fun!

We should do it.

Sure.

-Nice! -Let's do this!

Dad, just get over here.

I'm going to put on sunglasses.

Se-chan, check out Se-jong.

-Nice. -You're a king!

-Here you go. -Dad.

You look funny.

Nice!

-One, two, three. -Three.

Nice.

-One, two, three. -One, two, three.

MY DAN-DAN

The receiver cannot be reached.

Please leave a message after…

Dan-dan, where are you?

I'm outside Mr. Lee's house.

Pack your bags and meet me outside. I'll wait.

Your message has been recorded. Thank you for using…

INCOMING CALL

What do you want?

Soo-chul, we need to talk in person.

Why should I do that?

I'm busy. Goodbye.

It's about Dan-dan.

-What? -You said you'd take care of it.

So why is she still dating Young-kuk? I have something to say, so get over here.

Just mind your own business.

Get over here!

Or I'll come to see you at your restaurant.

What?

What's your problem?

Are you threatening me now?

Who are you to talk to me about Dan-dan's life?

Okay, fine. It's like you said.

I tried to stay out of this because I have no right

to interfere in her life.

And I trusted that you'd take care of it.

But what have you been doing?

She's still dating Young-kuk.

I went to see him,

and it didn't seem like they were going to break up.

Are you going to leave Dan-dan be?

Then I'll just take her to the US with me.

I'll tell her that I'm her mother and take her away.

What did you just say? You'll tell her what?

What? You'll take her to the US?

Who says you can do that?

That will never happen. So get out of this country!

Please think this through.

You'll never break them up as long as she's in Korea.

Wouldn't her going to the US be better?

Why should someone her age become a mother of three?

I'll be good to her in the States,

so please let me take her with me.

She's lived a tough life ever since she was little.

Shut it!

This is all your fault!

If you had taken better care of her,

she would be out there having fun

and enjoying her life like other girls her age

instead of working as a live-in tutor.

This wouldn't have happened had she not worked there.

You're the reason why she met him,

so why won't you let me fix this mess?

Dan-dan never got to enjoy her life.

I will not stand for her

becoming a mother of three at that age!

Father.

Father, please don't do this.

Mr. Lee.

Please. I'm begging you.

Please break up with my daughter.

My Dan-dan…

Please let her go.

I'm begging you.

You have a daughter, don't you?

So please reconsider this from a father's perspective.

My daughter is only 27.

She's a young lady with her whole life ahead of her.

Mr. Lee.

What can I do to make you end this relationship?

I'll do whatever you ask.

So please, just let her go.

I'm begging you.

You're a father too.

Please think of what's good for Dan-dan.

I understand what you mean.

So please, stand up.

Thank you, Mr. Lee.

Then,

I'll be counting on you.

Ms. Park.

Mr. Lee…

Mr. Lee.

You know what?

When I turned 20,

I felt like a grown-up.

And when I started working

and making money,

I felt confident that I could support myself.

So I thought I was an adult

and that I could lead

the kind of life I wanted according to my own free will.

However,

I didn't mature into an adult

on my own.

It was possible

thanks to my parents and family's sacrifice.

I had forgotten about that.

I love my dad

more than anyone

in the whole world.

Just like you loved your mother.

And my dad got on his knees and begged you.

I made him suffer like that.

I know I told you not to waver

over and over again.

I'm so sorry that I've come to this conclusion.

Ms. Park.

I understand what you mean.

So don't force yourself to say anything else.

I'll tell the kids that I'll be quitting.

I should get going then.

Dad.

I broke up with Mr. Lee.

Are you serious?

Yes.

Thank you, Dan-dan. I appreciate it.

But Dad, just because I broke up with him,

it doesn't mean I can quit my job right away.

I should keep working until they find a new tutor.

You understand, right?

Of course.

It's fine as long as you don't change your mind.

I should get going then.

Dan-dan, you can't change your mind.

You gave me your word.

You're breaking up with Mr. Lee, okay?

I know. Don't worry.

Dad, I should go.

Mr. Lee, this is Dan-dan's father.

Yes. I'm listening.

Mr. Lee. Dan-dan was just here.

Is it true that Dan-dan broke up with you?

Yes.

We broke up.

Thank you.

By the way, Mr. Lee,

may I ask you one more favor?

Please find a new tutor as soon as possible

so that Dan-dan can move out.

It will be uncomfortable for you both

to stay in the same house anyway.

Okay. I'll do that.

Please don't worry.

I appreciate it.

Mister.

How did you know I was here?

I went to your place to see you and met your mom.

She told me this is where you work now.

My mom told you?

Why didn't you tell me that you got a job here?

We're friends now.

A friend would know, wouldn't he?

I never agreed to be friends.

Come on. Just be friends with me. I was a friend to you when we first met.

Just go. I'm busy.

This flower shop is pretty.

It's perfect for you.

Mister, please.

I'm here to buy flowers.

Can you make a pretty bouquet of carnations?

A bouquet of carnations?

It's for my mom.

What is this flower called?

Ranunculus.

What about this?

Delphinium.

Delphinium? So hard to pronounce.

What about this?

It's a rose.

Do you not know what a rose is? It's a Victoria rose.

I see. It's a rose.

I know what a rose is.

Go ahead and finish up.

Young-kuk.

I think I'm to blame

for what happened to you.

After what happened to Young-ae,

it made me happy to finally see you in a relationship

with someone nice.

So I ignored the circumstances

and kept pushing you.

Maybe I thought too lightly

of the issues you were concerned about.

I'm sorry, Young-kuk.

Well, yes. As a father myself,

I do understand

Ms. Park's father.

I'm sure that's why you broke it off.

I didn't stop to think how her father would feel.

I had hoped you would start anew with a new partner.

I wanted you to be happy again.

So I put my wishes for you over everything else.

What…

Where did that handkerchief come from?

No.

I'm too old for this.

And I have three kids.

How did that handkerchief get back here?

I still don't understand.

Mr. Lee.

Ms. Park.

Where did you go at this hour?

The convenience store.

Mr. Lee. Did you have a drink?

Yes. I had a little to drink.

Mr. Lee. If you do this,

it'll make me worried and upset.

Must you do this?

I'm trying…

to keep it together too.

Be cool about it and let it go.

Ms. Park.

Don't worry about me.

I'm fine.

I really am.

But I'm worried

that you might suffer.

Mr. Lee.

Dan-dan. What did you just say?

Like you said, I really tried to break up with Mr. Lee.

But Dad,

it's just too hard.

What you want is for me to be happy.

You're worried about the hardships I might face.

But Dad, I can be happy.

I don't think I can break up with Mr. Lee.

Can't you give in just this once?

Dan-dan.

It's supposed to be hard to break up with someone you love.

Hang in there.

Time will sort it out for you.

Dad.

I don't think I can get over him.

I think I love him too much.

Dan-dan.

You promised to break up with him.

Stop upsetting me.

Move out of there right now.

Don't even wait for them to find your replacement.

Okay. Fine, I'm sorry.

Dan-dan.

Honey, wait.

Can't you let her do as she wants?

She likes him so much.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying we should accept him?

What's so wrong with that?

Is this situation really that bad?

Mr. Lee is rich, so why worry?

You seem to be worried about his kids,

but it costs money to raise kids.

They can study abroad when they're older.

And honestly, rather than marrying someone her age

and working all her life only to live an average life,

it's better for her to marry Mr. Lee and never have to worry about money.

What's so bad about marrying a man who's 14 years older?

There are happily married couples with bigger age gaps.

He has three kids.

Do you want our 27-year-old Dan-dan to raise three kids?

Are you saying that because she isn't your daughter?

My gosh.

What did you just say?

Is that the kind of person you think I am?

I only spoke up out of pity for Dan-dan. How could you say such a thing?

I'm saying this because she isn't my daughter?

I've raised Dan-dan since she was a baby.

I changed her diapers and fed her.

I'm saying this because I consider myself to be her mom!

Rather than marrying someone her age and struggling,

a chairman is better. Is that a bad thing to say?

Darn it.

You fool.

You just make things worse.

Soo-chul is already stressed out as it is.

Why did you have to say that?

I don't care! I feel better now that I spoke up.

Am I wrong?

I'm not scared of him anymore.

Will you stop it? Be quiet.

Hey!

Are you crazy?

Are you trying to mess with me?

How could you bring a newborn to work?

I'm sorry.

My Dan-dan…

After all I went through to raise her…

You wanted to talk.

Listen.

Go to the US with Dan-dan.

Soo-chul.

Can I really?

Can I really do that?

Instead,

don't tell her you're her mom.

She knows her mom abandoned her.

If she finds out that you're her mom,

she'll never go to the US with you.

So don't ever tell her the truth.

Okay. I won't.

I'm letting you take her

because I trust you'll be responsible as her mom.

Help her

get over Chairman Lee and start over.

Okay, Soo-chul. Don't worry.

I'll take good care of our Dan-dan.

I'll support her

so she can become a well-known designer.

Thank you so much.

I'm letting you take her,

but it's not because I've forgiven you.

Don't forget that.

I know.

I do.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Right.

Rather than dating a single father of three,

she's better off going to the States.

Dan-dan.

Here.

I've thought about it,

and I think you keep going back on your word about Mr. Lee

because he's physically nearby.

Out of sight, out of mind, right?

Speaking of which…

Dan-dan.

I think you should follow Ms. Kim and go to the US next week.

Dad.

I met with her recently

and heard about your replacement backing out.

She was thrilled to hear that you were available.

But Dad…

Dan-dan, you may think that you're all grown up,

but you're still a child in my eyes.

You've barely lived your own life.

I can't let you stay

with Chairman Lee.

Dan-dan, going to the US

will help you move on.

Study some more

and spread your wings.

You said before that you wanted to study design.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Dad…

I'm not telling you to live there forever.

Just stay there for three years,

study some more,

and live your life like other kids your age.

If you can't

bring yourself to move on even after that,

I'll reconsider your relationship with him.

Do you mean that?

If I say

I want to be with Mr. Lee after three years,

you'll reconsider the idea?

That's right. I will.

So please spend three years in the States.

Dan-dan, this is

my one and only wish.

All right.

I'll do as you say.

Thank you, Dan-dan.

Thank you.

Young-kuk.

I heard that you and Ms. Park broke up.

It was a wise decision.

Anna.

Is that what you came to talk to me about?

Actually,

Ms. Park's father…

So, Mr. Park

came to see me.

He begged me to take her with me

when I returned to the US, so I agreed.

She once agreed to work with me, you see.

I thought you should know, which is why I came to share the news.

I see. Okay.

Young-kuk, what's done is done,

so try to move on even though it's hard.

Don't worry.

Ms. Park and I agreed to end things.

Of course. And I'm grateful for that.

But Anna,

why is the end of our relationship

something you should be grateful for?

Oh, well…

I mean,

I don't think you two are compatible,

and this opens you up for a new relationship.

That's what I mean.

Anna.

You've been in love before, right?

You know how hard it is

to manage after a breakup.

The pain is excruciating.

This breakup isn't something I wanted.

As the father of a daughter,

I just tried to see things from his perspective.

You really don't have to hurt me like this.

You're not the Ji-young I remember.

I thought I could count on you

to be on my side at any given time.

Yes, Young-kuk.

I'm sorry.

I apologize for being harsh on you.

But please know that this is for your own good.

What?

It's for my own good?

How does this benefit me?

Shouldn't you want me to be with the woman I love?

How can this be for my own good

when I'm wallowing in pain?

Anna, I have something to ask you as well.

I understand why Mr. Park is

against us dating.

I fully understand his situation.

But why are you so against our relationship?

Young-kuk. Well…

The thing is,

I didn't want people to point fingers at you.

I'm only looking out for you.

Anna.

Let me be clear.

Don't ever say you're looking out for me.

I have a meeting to attend.

Okay. I understand.

I'll get going then.

Mr. Lee, I agreed to go to the US.

I know. Anna told me.

Mr. Lee,

can you wait for me?

I only agreed to go so that we can be together again.

If I still can't move on

after spending three years in the US,

my dad will reconsider our relationship.

What I'm saying

is that I'll live my life in the US,

so don't forget about me during that time.

All right.

I'll be the one to wait for you this time.

So don't think about me during your time there,

study some more, do everything you want,

and go on dates if you meet someone nice.

Mr. Lee, don't say that.

I'll come back to you in three years.

I promise.

Yes?

I was able to track down Ms. Park Dan-dan's birth mother.

Really?

Her birth mother's name is Kim Ji-young.

Kim

Ji-young?

She'll move out of that house by the end of this week.

Make sure to get things prepared Don't forget what I told you.

I'll make sure she never finds out that I'm her mom.

-Those two are seeing each other again. -Goodness.

It's Ms. Kim and my husband.

Did you say they're having an affair?

Sa-ra, where's our son?

Let's find our son

-and let's start over, the three of us. -Do you have a death wish?

My gosh!

-A farewell trip? -We can't let her go like this.

I promise to come back,

and we'll be together again.

Ms. Park, be happy.

That's why she tried to take Soo-chul to the US.

Please accept this, Soo-chul.

I told you never to tell her that you're her mother.

"Dan-dan's mother"?

What are you saying?
