(Episode 19)

Hyeon Woo.

Dad.

Where are you going?

I came here to walk you home.

I'm not a kid anymore.

I wanted to check on you because you went out after you came home.

My friend wanted to see me.

Why is your phone turned off?

It's out of battery.

You shouldn't ride your bicycle in this weather.

If you slip and fall from the ice, you'll really hurt yourself.

Okay, Dad.

- Are you cold? - No.

Your hands are just nice and warm.

You must have been cold.

Let's go home.

Now that I'm all grown up,

I think your chance has gone by.

Hyeon Woo.

What are you doing? What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Let's go, Dad.

You scared me.

- Hyeon Woo. - Yes.

I brought some soy milk.

You have to drink it all.

It will keep you warm.

Okay.

Have a seat.

I heard from your grandmother.

She told me that you asked her about the person...

who visited you in the hospital.

Yes.

Were you that curious?

Do you want me to tell you?

I already know who he is.

You do?

How do you know?

I just happened to figure it out.

You had to embrace it...

by yourself?

I should have told you sooner.

It's okay.

I was planning to tell it to you one day,

but it was difficult for me.

I held back...

because you're still young.

I'm sorry.

You don't need to be sorry.

I'm not the little Hyeon Woo you think I am.

I can take care of my own problems now.

You can live your own life as Seo Ji Young.

That makes me sad.

Are you trying to put distance between us...

because you have a girlfriend now?

You have Dad.

If you want to meet your real dad,

I have no right to stop you.

You have all the right to...

meet your real dad.

I just want you to promise one thing.

I want you to respect the dad you have right now.

He would understand you,

but he will be very sad.

I know that.

That's good.

Do you have an appointment?

Don't park the car too far. I'll be back soon.

You can't park here. Move your car to elsewhere.

Are you new here?

What?

I'll let this one slide for once.

You won't get a second chance.

There is a strategy team for the Smart City project.

If you want to be in charge of that, you can do it.

It's not my thing.

I want to manage something else.

You didn't even meet them yet.

If it's the team that made the proposal for our grandfather,

I don't need to meet them.

You know what I'm talking about.

It's exactly why you were against the proposal.

You're here.

Hi, Mom.

Okay, show me what you've planned.

Let's talk once I see it.

Okay.

Wait for me in my office.

I'm going to leave right now.

I have a date.

Don't get me involved.

Please don't.

I'll see you.

How was Seung Hoon?

Let me ask you one thing.

Okay.

Why does it have to be Smart City?

- What? - Why does it have to be...

specifically Smart City?

He probably wants to build something high-tech...

because that's what he learned in school.

You know about the location...

where the Smart City will be built.

It used to belong to Seung Hoon's dad's family.

That's ancient history.

Ever since Dad took the land,

there are no traces of them.

Does Seung Hoon know about this as well?

Not at all.

He's not interested in the land.

All he wants is to build something nice...

so that he can gain recognition from his grandfather.

Okay, Jae Hee.

Take good care of him.

The results will decide.

My promise can't guarantee his success.

I'm just giving him an opportunity.

This is all I can provide.

You'll find yourself helping him continuously...

because you're the only brother I trust.

We're family, Jae Hee.

I want you to keep that in mind.

Of course.

I only have my family to ask to take care of Seung Hoon.

That's good.

("What's Your Choice" Green Room)

I tried to look for new shows,

and there is a new one that will be out next spring.

Just wait a little longer.

Okay.

(Incoming call)

Is it a reporter?

Do you want me to answer it for you?

No, it's okay.

Hello?

Yes, this is she.

Tell him that...

I have no reason to see him.

Who was it?

Should we head to the meeting room?

You'll be back soon, right?

Yes.

Is Ji Young going somewhere?

She has to go and see a visitor.

By the way,

didn't Woo Na Kyung say she'll quit the show?

Have you heard anything from her?

I won't allow that to happen.

I'll try my best to keep her on the show.

Did you fall for her when you guys went out for a drink?

She's always been my type.

There are many other men who like her. What's the harm?

Jung Kyung Soo.

Face the reality and look for a nice girl...

so you can get married.

Don't you feel sorry for your old mother?

I don't think you have the right to say that as you're still single.

I'm single by choice.

You're a writer.

You should use a more creative line...

instead of a corny line like that.

You're telling me to be creative even when I talk?

I would rather not.

I think your scripts are also becoming a little corny.

I'm just kidding.

I heard your ideal type brought a new product for advertisement.

Yes

- Thank you. - Sure.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

This one is for you.

- Hello. - Hello.

Is this the one?

- Here you go. - What's in it?

Is this the one that assists in functionality?

Jung Kyung Soo will definitely need one.

Who knows if this will help him get married one day?

What are you saying?

Where's Seo Ji Young?

She has a visitor. She'll be back.

Why does she have a visitor before the show?

What did you say when I asked to see you?

I said that there is no reason for me...

to see you.

I have a reason.

How can you be so confident...

after complicating my family?

I'll get straight to the point.

Bring back the child...

to where he belongs.

I've been easy on you...

just because of my son's wrongdoings.

But all you did was...

creating complications in my family.

Hyeon Woo...

is my son.

So?

You have no right to tell me that...

I should return my child to your family.

Do you know why I was against you as my daughter-in-law?

Entertainers are so shallow.

I'm going to forget that...

this never happened.

You can't forget something just because you want to.

This is why they say you're ignorant.

What will the child learn from a parent like you?

The only reason I came here in person...

was my way of showing gratitude...

for raising my family.

Did you eat?

No.

Should I go straight to your house?

Let's eat outside.

Do you know any good restaurants in Yangpyeong?

Hyeon Woo.

[VIU Ver] MBC E19 A Pledge to God "Hyeon Woo Makes a Deal with Sang Chun" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Chairman. Hyeon Woo is here.

Have a seat.

You probably know who I am...

since you are here.

Yes.

You look a lot like your father.

Make yourself comfortable.

I heard that you wanted to tell me something.

I'll leave after that.

You must be upset that I came to find you too late.

Grownups are always the problem.

They're blinded by their own problems that...

they neglect the need of their children.

Because of that, I had to wait for a long time to see you.

Let's talk as we eat.

That's what a family does.

They eat together.

Make yourself comfortable.

(Director Kim Jae Wook)

He went to Yangpyeong?

Yes, sir.

Why did he go all the way there?

Tell me.

He's meeting Hyeon Woo.

Where's the location?

He'll be furious if I tell you that.

I'm sorry, sir.

Okay.

What is he going to tell Hyeon Woo?

Come in.

Do you need me?

Yes, look for Korean traditional restaurants in Yangpyeong.

Never mind.

Get the car ready outside.

Are you going to Yangpyeong?

There's a meeting with a buyer in 30 minutes.

You're right.

You were away from your family for too long.

It's time for you to come back home.

Do you know the reason why chickweeds on the streets die?

It's because they're rooted in the streets.

They need to be rooted in rich soil...

so that they can bloom and flourish.

I've been doing well.

My parents are very caring.

You have a path paved for you.

It's been like that since the day you were born.

Because the grownups failed to cope with their consequences,

you must have been confused.

But it's not too late.

You need to return to your roots as a man.

If I go to your house,

what are you going to do for me?

You're the oldest son of my child.

You will be my successor one day.

My parents went through much hardship...

to raise me.

Please compensate them.

You're smarter than I thought.

I know that there is nothing free in this world.

I'm glad there's someone who agrees with me.

I should have visited you sooner.

Okay.

How do you want me to compensate them?

Tell me what you want me to do.

Please take care of my parents...

so that they can live well in the future.

If you grow up and become successful,

I won't say anything when you take care of your parents.

Even if I can't,

promise me that you will take care of them.

My goodness.

Okay.

I won't neglect their effort in raising you.

Come here.

You need to eat more and grow strong.

I'm sorry I came late to see you.

I always believed that...

you would come back to me.

You won't let me down,

will you?

Gosh. You finally saw him?

I felt like we should have met sooner.

He's different from Joon Seo.

Maybe because he's been through a lot as a kid,

he's very mature.

His mother raised him well.

His mother? It's all because of the blood from my family.

Kim Sang Chun's blood runs in him.

This isn't something you can decide on your own.

You need to let the parents take care of this.

They only care about their time.

They never think about our time.

We have to follow their lead.

For how long are you going to boss around your children?

That's nonsense.

I have to set clear rules when I still have energy.

If I don't do this right,

they're going to fight each other after I die...

and the Cheonji Group will be destroyed.

Call the kids.

I don't want to be involved.

You have no say.

You'll always be beside me.

It's obvious that Jae Wook will be against the idea,

and I don't want to see my child become upset in front us.

Goodness.

There must be good news, right?

Are you dividing up the inheritance?

I think I've given you enough.

Do you still want more?

Because I don't have a husband,

I can never be satisfied.

I don't remember telling you to call her.

Start already.

Clear a room.

- A room? - Yes.

He wants to bring Hyeon Woo.

What?

That's a good idea, Father.

I agree.

How can you do that?

How can you decide something like this without discussing with us?

Did you forget already?

When you first came to this house,

you're the one who insisted to be on my side.

But this is a different issue.

Who are you to decide?

I'm in charge of distinguishing the issues in this household.

I'm done with what I have to say. Get the room ready.

Discuss with your wife.

My goodness. Are you there?

Yes, ma'am.

Why are you so quiet?

Did you already know about this?

How can you make me look so stupid?

DId you think we needed your approval to bring back our family?

I'm the daughter-in-law of this family.

So what?

Do you have the right to have a voice in this family?

Are you saying that I don't?

You unethically stole someone's position.

That also makes you unqualified.

You're not in a position to have a voice.

I've been in this family for 10 years.

What else do I need?

The way you became part of our family.

As long as you're living in this house,

you will have to pay for it.

What do you want?

You should take care of your own problems first.

What?

Seung Hoon.

I have no intention to stop him from working in the company.

If he's there to pick up any remaining cash from you,

I can turn a blind eye on that.

But that should be his limitation.

Did you find someone to fall back on?

It only takes 30 minutes for the legal department...

to print out Seung Hoon's records and spread it across the company.

Are you threatening me?

The board members will get to know about it anyways.

Don't make a bad representation of the chairman.

How dare you judge my son?

You should be careful.

I know what you've done to his dad's family.

There were no legal issues.

You sound confident because it's past the legal deadline.

Then there wouldn't be an issue if I release articles about it.

The final decision was made by your father.

Don't you know my father?

He doesn't take responsibility in an unfavorable situation.

You're the one who messed around with the law.

If my father chooses to avoid responsibility,

you won't be his daughter-in-law anymore.

You decide.

Just do what you are told and keep your voice low.

Do you want me to do it then?

What?

It's between me, who practices law,

and you, who has a few gossips to tell the reporters.

Who do you think will win?

If you want to bring it on, stop Hyeon Woo from coming to the house.

The moment he comes into this house, you will suffer.

Not only you but also Joon Seo.

Why are you dragging Joon Seo into this?

Don't mess with my child...

if you don't want me to mess with yours.

(20-Year Master Plan for Cheonji Group)

(20-Year Master Plan for Cheonji Group)

What's this?

It's the 20-year master plan for Cheonji Group.

I'm preparing for 50 years.

If the new office building starts to get on track,

I'll take care of Cheonji Group.

What made you change?

You acted like we were a non-profit organization.

Leave Hyeon Woo as he is.

I'm asking you as your child.

Why do you want to keep him with his mom?

He's your child. Don't you want him?

I'm happy with Joon Seo.

Having only Joon Seo is not enough.

You need a competitor to grow.

They're not competitors. They're brothers.

Don't you want to see them grow up together?

As they fight,

they will want more...

and the winner becomes the best.

Father.

Fine. I'll take a look.

Let's see how much you've been listening to me.

We'll talk once I'm done reading this.

You had ambition toward the Cheonji Group.

After all, you're the son of Chairman Kim Sang Chun.

I guess I underestimated you.

Where should we make Hyeon Woo's room?

Don't think too much about what he said.

Your sister said that once Hyeon Woo comes to this house,

Joon Seo will suffer.

Fine. Let them hate him as much as they want,

but it will make Ji Young suffer more.

Hyeon Woo won't be coming to this house.

Your father is a man of his words.

That child probably agreed to come to this house.

He's not that kind of person.

Do you want to bet?

Children behave in accordance with what's good for them.

He's old enough to distinguish...

what's more favorable for him.

You should get yourself ready to welcome him...

while I build a nice room.

- Mom. - Yes, Joon Seo.

Is someone coming?

You'll see.

Who is it?

Did you do your homework, Joon Seo?

- Yes, I finished. - Good job.

(Episode 20 will air shortly.)

(Episode 20)

It's the same for my father-in-law too.

He treats me like I'm his employee.

That's what your inferiority complex says.

I think he trusts you that much.

He doesn't trust me.

He trusts no one.

Perhaps, his wife...

since she has nothing to do with management rights.

There's no need to be worried. You have Joon Seo.

Be good to that boy for your son's sake.

You can do that much for Cheonji Group

If it were me, I'd do it countless times.

Oh, right. Collect all the data for the mergers and acquisitions...

conducted by the family of Seung Hoon's mother.

Why?

I want to see if anything goes against the laws.

Why all of a sudden?

Even if it does, no one's going to mess with it now.

I have a feeling...

that Seung Hoon is hiding something.

What exactly?

Look into it.

See if he could be a threat.

Is it finally beginning?

Oh, yes.

Sorry, it got delayed a little.

It seemed like you were busy dating.

It was hard for me too...

because of this quick-witted surveillant.

Professor Brown says hi.

Yes, I just spoke to him on the phone.

He sounded like he wants to take you back if it doesn't go successfully.

He actually scared me a little.

He said if we end up failing,

we shouldn't even think about seeing his face.

Come on. It'll be a success.

Of course.

- Nothing's going to stop us. - Stop us.

Come in.

It's nice.

Did you pay for all this?

It's crazy.

Unpack your stuff so we can get started.

Guys.

Do you think the floor area ratio is good as it is?

I think it's better to make the full capacity...

and secure the view.

Even if it means to make it less,

it should be designed in a future-oriented way.

It should work as a landmark.

Like a data hub.

Services as traffic...

What are you doing here?

I'm hungry. Feed me.

You had so much fun that you even forgot to feed yourself?

I couldn't sleep for four days.

Didn't you say you are hungry?

Hyeon Woo.

Hello.

It's you.

Why aren't you coming to class these days?

- Didn't you miss me? - Hey, middle schooler.

you aren't welcome here. Get out.

This is my restaurant, and he's my customer.

Mom.

Are you happy that you have no conscience?

What did I do?

You fooled him about the date.

Mom.

Consider yourself lucky.

I wish I can date someone younger than me too.

Follow me out.

Don't be too harsh on him.

Beg her for forgiveness. She's real scary.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

He's polite too.

You should leave too.

I need to work 20 more minutes to pay off my credit.

Or Hae Ji will scold me.

- Clean the empty tables then. - Okay.

What are you here for?

To tell you something.

I hate excuses.

And how dare you talk casually to your senior?

This is embarrassing.

What if I posted my photo with you, a middle schooler?

Can you start running your blog again?

Didn't you hear what I just said?

I said it's embarrassing.

I didn't know about your age either.

Besides, that's not important.

Of course, it's important.

You know the importance of seniority?

So you don't want to hang out with me?

I don't want to.

I won't be asking you for anything after this.

You still don't want to?

Not a chance.

Act like we're strangers.

You'll be unlucky all day if you turn down someone's last request.

I'll turn down your request even if it means I'll be unlucky for a year.

Hae Ji.

He's calling me by my name again.

You want to die?

I like you.

What's wrong with him?

I'm leaving work for the day, boss.

Okay, good work.

That's a desk with a drafting board. You got an order?

No.

It's for Hyeon Woo to congratulate his high school entrance.

He'll need this to become an architect.

I'm envious of him...

for having a caring dad like you.

This is the only thing I can do.

I bet it'll be the best gift for him.

Hopefully.

Dad, let's go camping.

- Hyeon Woo, that's hot. - Okay.

Hyeon Woo.

Why do you want to go camping in the middle of the night?

Hello.

What...

We're camping in our yard?

- Welcome, Grandma. - I got fooled too, Mom.

I packed stuff for camping, and they unpacked it here.

I had no idea and even wore long johns.

I made all the fuss for camping.

Don't blame me, Mother.

I was going to go someplace nice, and he insisted here.

Because this is the best place.

Of course, it is to you, homebody.

- Have a seat. - You're grilling meat, right?

- I'll go get it. - No, I'll do it.

- Hurry and sit down. - Gosh, okay.

- All right. - You prepared so much.

This is amazing.

Here, take it.

- It looks delicious. - Gosh.

Honey, try this.

- Hyeon Woo, try it. - Is it hot?

- Open up. - Is it hot?

Is it good?

Goodness. It does feel like we're camping.

Look at all those stars in the sky.

They look prettier especially today.

Hyeon Woo.

Look.

There are so many stars.

I got them for you, Hyeon Woo.

- How pretty. - You're prettier.

Goodness, thank you.

Oh, right. I met with Grandpa.

Grandpa? Who?

My grandpa.

Why did you meet him?

He told me to come over to his house.

What?

And I want to.

What are you talking about?

Why would you go there?

Can't you just consider it as a relative's house?

People visit their relative's house on vacation.

Let's talk later.

Right, Hyeon Woo. Let's have some time to think.

There's no need to.

You aren't going there.

Why? They're my family too.

What?

Goodness.

Hyeon Woo.

Come with me.

[VIU Ver] MBC E20 A Pledge to God "Hyeon Woo Shocks His Family" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

You brat.

Why would you say something ridiculous...

while enjoying the barbecue?

Didn't you think about how your dad feels?

What's so wrong about...

going over to his house?

I get that people want to find their real parents...

once they grow old,

but this is just too abrupt.

It's because I have no other time.

What?

I'll get busy once I enter high school.

Don't be ridiculous.

Go if you want.

Ji Young.

You may go...

if you think you can be light-hearted about it.

Go upstairs and rest.

Okay, Mom.

Goodness.

I can't believe this.

My goodness.

I admitted it was natural for him to look for his real father,

But I had no idea he'd want to visit their house.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to end up sending Hyeon Woo away along with Joon Seo?

He says he'll come back.

Do you think they'll let him?

We wouldn't have taken him with us in the first place then.

Why can't you learn from your experiences?

That old man came to see Hyeon Woo,

and it means he'll register our boy in his family registry.

Gosh.

My goodness.

Why aren't you doing anything?

You should stop him from going.

Ji Young is letting him go because she's too soft towards him,

but you should scold him so that he gives up.

You're his dad.

He wants to visit his relative's house, so what can I say?

That's what the boy thinks. It's not his relative's house.

It's more like a tiger's den.

I'm too worried to let him go.

So how could you and Ji Young be this understanding?

He must've missed his father so much.

He'll come back shortly.

They won't think the same.

I'm sure they won't send him back to us.

Ji Young won't be able to hold up...

if she gets Hyeon Woo taken away too.

She won't be able to live.

You know that.

I won't stay still then.

Then what? How will you manage to deal with that family?

We shouldn't start a fight in the first place.

You frustrating man.

Tell Ji Young to stop Hyeon Woo from going.

(Bucket List)

(The chewy rice cakes mixed with the spicy sauce were amazing.)

(Tell Hae Ji how I feel.)

- Hyeon Woo. - Yes, Dad?

Hyeon Woo.

How does it feel to suddenly shock your whole family?

Are you upset?

Very much.

I wanted to do some things with you during your vacation too.

This is why you should make plans beforehand.

I'm a busy boy, you see.

All right, son.

I'll reserve you beforehand from next time.

Okay, you're first in the line.

Thank you so much. That's an honor.

I'm okay.

I was going to...

tell you when you wanted to know about your real dad.

Dad.

It was good...

to live as your dad until now.

That's enough for me.

Me too.

I was happy to be your son.

You mean it?

I remember it all.

I remember going to my elementary graduation ceremony with you...

and winning the three-legged race with you on field day.

I was never lonely...

thanks to you.

Silly.

And you still want to visit your real dad's house?

I'm curious what kind of people they are.

It's interesting too.

What's so interesting?

Everything.

You know people are curious about everything when they reach puberty.

You're still going through puberty?

It's going a little slow.

Then again, it went slow for me too.

Very slow.

Well, I thought so too.

Why you little... Why would you keep teasing your dad?

Come over here.

Are you going to stop teasing me or not?

- Well? - Okay, I will.

- You punk. - I'll stop.

I'll get straight to the point.

Bring back the child...

to where he belongs.

You can't forget something just because you want to.

This is why they say you're ignorant.

I don't think I can let him go.

I want to stop him.

Let's just...

let him go.

Honey.

We can't stop him any longer.

He's old enough to make decisions for himself now.

What if...

they don't send him back to us?

Without our permission,

they can't do anything.

Besides,

we'll...

never give up on custody.

You mean it?

Of course.

Hyeon Woo is our child.

Don't worry about a thing.

Let's have him...

visit his dad's house as he wants.

Take care.

Be polite to the elders.

Okay, Dad.

Please take good care of him.

Don't worry.

Go back inside.

Call us, Hyeon Woo.

Okay.

Hyeon Woo.

Hyeon Woo.

Hyeon Woo.

Hyeon Woo.

Hyeon Woo.

(A Pledge to God)

Be good to Hyeon Woo.

I know. He's in need...

according to my mom.

You're Song Hyeon Woo,

not Kim Hyeon Woo.

You're my blood.

My dream is your future.

This boy is my eldest grandson.

What are you trying to pull?

Is this why you sent Hyeon Woo here?

I told you...

not to send him away.

Go bring Hyeon Woo and Joon Seo. All of them.

You think I can do it?

I don't have much time left.

His body is full of bruises.

You've got blood on your shirt.

Where did you get those bruises?

Mom, how are you getting used to...

living without me?
