Original subtitles

Mi Rae.

Give those to me.

No, these are my mum's.

I said, give it to me.

It's not something that you should have.

Grandma, Grandma! Where's Mum?

Stop that girl!

What's up with you?

She...

She stole my wedding ring.

Stop right there.

What's going on?

- Mi Rae! - Mi Rae!

Mi Rae!

Mi Rae! What happened?

Mi Rae, wake up!

Mi Rae! What happened?

Mi Rae! What happened?

Oh my gosh...

Call the ambulance, quickly!

(EPISODE 19)

Mi Rae, please tell me you're okay.

Can you hear me?

Please wake up!

Mi Rae, can you see me?

It's Mum, can you hear me?

What did you say?

We need to attach the oxygen respirator.

What did she say?

Mi Rae!

Mi Rae!

The patient's family members need to stay outside.

Did anyone see how the child fell down?

She appeared from nowhere.

So we were all looking at her.

Since the adults followed her outside,

she must have panicked and fell down.

Did you see her take your wedding ring with your own eyes?

Yes.

That's why I chased her.

- Where did you place the ring? - On top of my dresser.

I was going to wear it to the party but I forgot.

Why did she go to your room?

There's no reason for her to go there.

It's all because of me.

I was playing with the child...

and left the scene for a moment.

The child has some nerves.

How can someone as young as her try to steal something?

That's why I don't like kids.

Children hide their devilish nature behind their innocent faces.

You should hold your tongue.

We don't know how badly the child is hurt.

How dare you say something like that?

How could something like this happen?

Those two were planning to leave the country tomorrow.

I hope the child will be okay.

You're a natural speaker, Honey.

It was clever of you to come up with that excuse.

What are you doing?

When did you take this off?

Nobody saw you wear it, right?

How could you keep that important document away from me?

You told me that you put it somewhere safe.

Don't be so aggressive.

You don't look pretty.

Were you scared...

that she would tell her mother about the documents?

Did you push her down?

What are you talking about?

Do you think I am like you?

Aren't you the one that pushed her?

What are you saying?

I told you, I like kids.

We shouldn't be arguing with each other.

We need to find that document.

If it goes into the child's mum or Hyeong Woo's hands,

you might get in trouble.

Goodness...

May the gods have mercy on her.

Please keep her safe.

Please let her live.

What sin does a child have?

I'll take the punishment in her place.

Please...

spare our precious Mi Rae.

How did it go?

I'm sorry.

I did my best.

Oh my goodness...

Oh...

Mother...

I understand.

I'm still angry just thinking about that 20 million dollars.

The mother must be distraught after what happened to her child.

Hey.

Why are you pretending to feel bad for them?

It's times like this when I'm most suspicious of you.

Did you push her?

How can you say that?

Honestly, you were not in good terms with her.

That's right. I wanted you to feel better so I pushed her.

- Are you happy now? - That's what I thought.

Will this do for the meeting?

This is a classical piece.

Classical also means antique,

so it has charm.

Hey!

How can you lack such common sense when you graduated from college?

That means I'm old-fashioned!

Hand me that yellow bag.

How does it look?

The bag looks gorgeous.

The bag isn't meant to look better than me.

I won't let the bag look better than me.

Let's go shopping!

Her mum did time for embezzlement...

and now the daughter steals a ring.

What a mess it was last night.

It's in the blood.

Like mother, like daughter.

Don't say that.

The kid's not doing so well.

Don't you know how Ms Shin came into this house?

She gave us such a hard time.

Zip your mouth!

Are you trying to ruin your future?

No one is to know what happened that night.

If I catch you talking about it again,

all of you...

will lose your jobs.

Now hurry.

She's in a semi-coma.

We operated on her,

but the brain hemorrhage was widespread,

so she won't wake up for a while.

What does that mean?

What is a semi-coma and why can't she wake up?

She's almost unconscious.

Her reflexes still work,

but she can't speak or move voluntarily.

Will she never wake up?

The brain is protected by the skull.

It should withstand some damage.

We must wait and see.

Her condition could worsen...

and she could remain in a coma forever.

Or she could recover and wake up.

Even if she does,

her brain won't function at full capacity.

What nonsense are you spewing out?

She just fell down some stairs.

Kids her age and younger trip up all the time.

But you're saying that she might not wake up?

Did you mess up her surgery?

She wasn't hit by a car...

and she didn't fall out of a building.

How can you say such nonsense...

after a surgery that lasted nine hours?

You need to calm down.

I'm going to see Mi Rae.

Eun Soo.

Visiting hours are over.

Mi Rae.

You can't come in here.

I'm her mother.

I need to see her.

- You can't. - Mi Rae, are you okay?

You hear me, right?

You'll wake up, right?

You can't come in here. You need to leave.

She's my baby!

She's fine.

She fell down some stairs once before...

and she didn't even get a bruise.

You need to calm down, Eun Soo!

She could end up with an infection.

Come with me.

Eun Soo, I know you're worried.

It's my fault.

If only I hadn't drank all the wine...

If only I had stayed with her the whole evening...

What can we do?

Why did she end up taking someone's ring?

Why would she do that?

They said she took the spokeswoman's ring.

That was what all the ruckus was about.

Everyone crowded out of the hall,

so I followed them to watch.

That's when I saw Mi Rae.

But then...

where did she drop the ring?

I checked every pocket and I couldn't find it.

Oh dear...

I shouldn't have left her alone.

Which hotel did the catering last night?

The food was terrible.

It wasn't like Il Joo's wedding.

Hey.

We're meant to eat it.

The mutton ribs were dry...

and they were almost inedible.

Are you busy today, Il Joo?

I'll drive you to work today.

I have a meeting so I'll be leaving a little late.

Yoo Kyeong, are you free?

I'm meeting some writer friends. Do you want to tag along?

You studied Korean literature. It might help if you make friends.

I don't plan to debut just yet.

That child.

She's in a semi-coma.

A semi-coma?

What's that?

She's unconscious indefinitely.

How can you eat at a time like this?

A semi-coma means...

she could wake up.

Why?

Are you afraid she might?

The original document you put in Eun Soo's bag...

You chased the child because she found it.

How did you know?

Did you push her down the stairs to silence her forever?

No. I didn't do it.

I must find it.

It must not end up in someone else's hands.

There's a mole under your eye.

Why didn't I know that?

Your hands used to be so small.

They've grown bigger.

It's my fault.

I'm sorry.

I was so busy...

that I didn't notice how big you've grown.

You were so upset this would stop you from becoming a model.

Now you can be a model, can't you?

You can wear mini-skirts and tight shorts.

Right?

I was so busy living...

that I only got to see you when you were asleep.

But you know...

I was happiest when you looked at me...

with your two shiny black eyes.

Mi Rae.

You'll look at me again, won't you?

Right?

Are you insane? Get a grip.

Do you want to die? What do you think you're doing?

What did you say? Who's dying?

Mi Rae will be up any time soon. Why would I die?

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

I've been so busy that I almost forgot.

Mi Rae will be attending primary school next year.

I need to buy some school supplies.

How's this?

I should buy a bigger one because Mi Rae will grow.

You can adjust the straps on that one.

- Really? - Yes.

Should I make her backpack the same colour as her shoe pouch?

Mi Rae has better taste than me...

so she'll probably scold me if I choose the wrong one.

I'll take this. This is Mi Rae's favourite colour.

Yes, Ma'am.

Who are you?

You must be Kang Il Joo of the National Assembly.

Hello, I'm Eun Soo's brother.

I was worried about the kid.

We need to watch over her for a little more.

She's in the ICU right now.

Then visitors must be prohibited.

Eun Soo will be here soon. You should say hello.

It's all right, I was just passing. I'll be back later.

Isn't this pretty?

Mi Rae must be heartbroken to see her short hair after the surgery.

But her hair will grow back over time.

I'm going to braid her hair with these.

- It'll look good on her. - Wouldn't it?

I always tied her hair because I was too lazy.

I'm going to braid them prettily from now on.

You need to eat.

You didn't even drink water since yesterday.

I need to give this to Mi Rae.

You can give it to her later.

You need to take care of...

I need to give it to her right now! Right now!

If I had walked over to her sooner on that day,

Mi Rae wouldn't be lying down like that.

Mi Rae, I bought a backpack for you.

I also bought shoes for you to wear on your entrance ceremony.

I bought new books,

a pencil case...

and other school supplies.

You must be happy.

Right?

Here you go.

Take it.

Do you want me to give you a nickname?

A nickname?

Yes.

- How does "Goose" sound? - I like it.

This is Mi Rae's room.

Really?

I want my walls to be in rainbow colour.

All right.

Doctor.

How did it go?

Why is she still unconscious?

- Let's talk in my office. - No.

I want to hear it here.

Things have worsened...

and she has gone from semi-coma...

to an actual coma.

She'll be diagnosed with brain death after a while.

Please consider donating her organs.

What are you talking about?

When she's diagnosed as brain dead,

that means she is technically deceased.

- There are children waiting... - Shut up!

I know my kid better than you.

She's still breathing, and her hands and feet are warm.

She'll wake up soon and call out to me.

You people are doctors. How can you say such a thing?

You need to save my daughter!

That's what doctors are for!

Please save her! Save her!

Save her, I said!

Sir.

She is right.

Save her.

I don't care how much money it takes.

Do your best.

That's your job.

This will warm you up.

It'll settle your heart, too.

It must be hard for you, but you need to stand strong.

It may become a long wait.

To wait long,

you need to become stronger.

I parted from her once...

when she was an infant.

I didn't even breastfeed her once...

when she was an infant.

I wanted to be a good mother.

I wanted to make her happy for the times I wasn't there for her.

However, I wasn't able to.

I couldn't even go...

to her preschool entrance ceremony because I was busy working.

When other kids travelled with their parents,

I was busy scolding her.

Never have I read a bedtime story for her...

who waited until late at night for her mother to come home.

There were so many things...

that I wanted to do for her.

She never complained once...

because she knew that I was busy.

She's that kind of child.

That's my daughter.

Mi Rae took the ring?

That's what they say.

Not educating the child well...

leads to such problems.

Mi Rae...

isn't a child to do something like that.

Did you raise her?

How can you know after meeting her a couple of times?

Mother, do you want to say such things at this moment?

I'm sorry.

I also feel bad for what happened.

But this is also partially your fault too.

If only you weren't with Eun Soo,

her child wouldn't have been there in the first place...

and such a tragedy wouldn't have happened.

Send my condolences to Eun Soo.

It would be awkward for me to do it personally.

I know how she feels because I'm a mother too.

She must be heartbroken.

I heard...

that you have a daughter.

She doesn't even have a father. You need to be there for her.

If you are going to kill me, just go ahead and do so.

My husband is dead anyway...

and so is my father.

But did you know...

that love...

is stronger than the fear of death?

Mi Rae,

can you see me?

It's me.

Can you hear me?

What did you say?

Mum, I saw something...

that is important to you.

Yellow...

rose of Sharon.

Yellow?

What did you want to tell me?

Please wake up...

and say something.

The important thing for me...

is you.

Here, eat this.

How can I eat this?

When Mi Rae can't even drink a drop of water,

what right do I have to eat this?

As a mother, I have left her side.

I was so focused on my happiness that I forgot about Mi Rae.

- Eun Soo... - How can I be called a mother?

What qualifies me to eat this and live?

It's not your fault.

I...

I held you back.

That's why I'm resentful of you.

I also hate myself,

but I can't stop hating you.

It's a torture to see your face, Hyeong Woo.

So, please...

don't appear in front of me any more.

I beg you, Hyeong Woo.

I'm so sorry, Mi Rae.

I am...

I am very sorry.

Hey,

aren't you going to visit your friend's kid?

I'm not surprised.

You're so egocentric that you only care about yourself.

Look at me,

at least you need to look like me to call yourself a humanist.

Let's go.

I want to go with you.

Don't try to meddle in my affairs.

I won't forgive you.

Let's go now.

I ate the hospital food when I had my appendectomy.

It tasted so bad even at the VIP room.

I personally prepared this for you.

Oh, that's right.

I did consider fast food regarding your cheap taste,

but our chef wouldn't know how to cook such things.

Here you go.

Your child won't wake up just because you're next to her.

I'll arrange a professional nurse for you.

Mr Kang already proposed it, but she turned it down.

Hey,

if I would cook, no one would be able to eat it.

It would be like poison.

My emotional wavelength sides with only poetry.

Let the nurse take care of your child and come back to me.

You belong right next to me.

Hey!

Hey.

It's no use raising kids.

Kids only care about themselves.

I was one of them before.

Nobody acknowledges what you do and...

Back off!

- What are you doing? - Lady, mind your manners.

You have no common sense.

Watch your mouth!

My style has been ruined because of you!

Do you hear yourself?

- Mi Rae is lying down... - Hey!

Do you have any idea what Eun Soo is going through right now?

Are you a psycho?

Psycho?

I am.

So what?

Can't you tell?

Did I say something wrong?

You can have a child at any time. You need to move on with life.

What will I do with you?

You're just so thick-headed.

I bet.

I'm so full of beauty.

- This is insane. - Watch out.

I drove many men insane. There's no cure.

You're the one who needs the cure.

Let's go, Ji Eun.

I don't want to see another man fall for me.

Let's go.

Hurry.

You need to get help!

I was looking for something.

Mi Rae took my wedding ring.

She would never steal.

I'm sure she took it because it was pretty. Kids do that.

Your ring is not here.

From the garden to the hospital,

and until this very second, I was with Mi Rae.

She didn't have the ring.

Maybe she dropped it in the ambulance.

She's unconscious.

She has been ever since she fell down the stairs.

And you come here looking for a ring?

Is that ring...

worth more than a person's life?

I'm here out of concern.

But I thought I might look around since I'm here.

Get out.

Get out of here.

Right now!

The kid is unconscious?

Yes.

That's too bad.

Didn't you get what you wanted?

Isn't this outcome better than if she had died?

If she had died right away,

Eun Soo might have gone abroad to forget it all.

With her child in the hospital, she won't be going anywhere soon.

How could you say something so morbid?

A little girl is about to die.

Didn't you have someone...

push the little girl?

Don't even suggest such a thing.

I'm a humanist.

I must say I have doubts about your motive.

Eun Soo has your son wrapped around her finger.

I'm too timid of a person to hurt a child.

I'm hardly as bold as you are.

I don't know if she tripped and fell,

or if someone actually pushed her.

But I hope it works out.

My poor baby.

Oh dear...

Come on, Eun Soo.

You look like a corpse right now.

You need to eat and sleep.

It'll be a long fight.

She will wake up, like you said.

She's a fighter.

You need to be strong for her.

You might pass out.

If you do, you can't be next to her.

What do you think you're doing?

You can't shove ice-cold rice into a starving stomach.

I have to eat, Mum.

I can't pass out.

Mi Rae must be so scared.

She needs me.

I'm her mum. I need to be strong.

I must.

You'll end up getting sick.

Drink the soup first.

Oh dear.

Oh dear...

Go home...

and pack things that Mi Rae might need.

And get some sleep while you're there.

Oh, right.

Just looking at this makes my heart stop.

What's this?

Why is this...

So...

where do you think she dropped the ring?

I searched her clothes and I couldn't find it.

It wasn't there when we first looked.

She came by to leave this.

To frame Mi Rae.

But...

why?

I was looking for something.

She didn't come just to leave the ring.

She was looking for something.

You didn't find it?

Do you think...

Eun Soo has it already?

It didn't seem so.

Then...

it might be in the ambulance.

Look into it.

Don't order me around.

You look into it if you want to.

Oh...

Now that I don't have the document, you can treat me as you wish.

Is that it?

I see.

I'm...

the only one who knows that...

you lied about the girl stealing your ring.

And although I can't prove it,

I also know that you used to have the original papers.

What if your father were to find out?

He's very prudent.

Tell him, then.

Don't be so angry.

We're in the same boat now, whether you like it or not.

I love you so much.

Would I tell on you?

What will you do now?

I don't know, Sir.

Eun Soo isn't doing so well.

I can only wait and see.

I see.

She seems to be in shock.

Did you...

see her?

She is my secretary after all.

I paid the medical bill, too.

Look after her.

One needs moral support during a crisis.

When one's guilt and fury at oneself is at its peak...

She may try to harm you.

But...

standing strong with her during difficult times,

that's what love is.

Yes, Sir.

Your mother will be happy...

because you can't leave any more.

You'll never leave.

Going to the airport will end in vain.

What are you talking about?

I charged...

Eun Soo with embezzlement of funds...

for Woonkang Foundation.

She's probably banned from travelling.

- Mother. - It's not too late.

Give up on leaving.

If you want to leave, you'll have to trample on me first.

Why aren't you at the hospital today?

Where were you standing on that day?

When Mi Rae fell, where were you standing exactly?

What are you thinking right now?

Think about it.

Human heads aren't fragile enough to fall into a coma...

just because they fell on the ground.

Are you accusing me of murder?

I gave birth to you and raised you. I'm a mother as well.

I raised you like a jewel inside my womb for 10 months.

Whenever you got hurt,

I was heartbroken.

How can you treat me like this because of a girl?

So you didn't push her?

I didn't.

Go ahead and tell everyone that I pushed her.

Would you be happy...

if I was labelled as a murderer?

I didn't give birth to you...

to be treated like this.

Eun Soo, I'm sorry.

I didn't know Mi Rae would get into an accident.

Here's a video we made at the party.

It'll be too hard for you to watch...

so just delete it.

Eun Soo, congratulations.

I have so many things I want to apologise for.

I hope you live a happy life with Mr Jin.

Congratulations, Eun Soo.

You need to take care of me when I visit New Zealand, okay?

Me, too.

I know we weren't on good terms at first,

but forget everything and live happily.

Mi Rae, say hello to your mum.

Mum, I love you.

I'm going to begin.

Okay.

Rose of Sharon has blossomed.

Rose of Sharon has blossomed.

- I got you. - No, I didn't move.

No, I saw you moving.

No, I didn't.

You did, too.

You're adorable. Come here, Mi Rae.

You're so adorable.

Mum, you're it.

Rose of Sharon...

Mum, I saw something...

that is important to you.

Yellow...

rose of Sharon.

The yellow rose of Sharon?

Why did she say...

it was yellow and not pink?

What is that?

I'm learning English in preschool...

but I've never seen those letters.

Which language is that?

You wouldn't know even if I told you.

What kind of flower is this?

I'm not sure.

I think it's a rose of Sharon.

It's our national flower.

Mi Rae, you should never play with this when I'm not around.

This is...

very important to me.

Eun Soo, congratulations.

Mi Rae, say hello to your mum.

Mum, I love you.

You need to take care of me...

when I visit New Zealand.

Me, too.

She wasn't here to find her ring.

The yellow rose of Sharon...

She was referring to those documents.

She came looking for that.

I like...

I like Hyeong Woo.

Everyone thinks we're cousins.

Even Hyeong Woo thinks so.

But I can't deny my feelings.

I must be insane. I couldn't be like this.

I can't breathe.

Eun Soo, what should I do?

I really want to kill myself.

- What is this? - After much consideration,

I still don't think you should be a maid in my house.

Take this money and open up a shop or something.

I can't.

I can't take this.

Eun Soo.

We're friends, right?

I'm indebted to you.

Who do you think put those in my purse?

If it wasn't for them,

my father would still be alive.

Back in my hometown,

there was a time when I had...

dreams and hopes.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Eun Soo.

I've wronged you in so many ways.

If you really love Hyeong Woo,

please protect him.

Then that means...

we are no longer friends.

From now on,

I'm not indebted to you any more.

As of now, let's put an end...

to our childhood memories.

Did you try to kill Mi Rae...

because she saw those documents?

(GLAMOROUS TEMPTATION)

I just wanted to be beside you when you were having a hard time.

Let's just stop here.

Happiness was more important to me than my daughter...

I'll never forgive myself for that.

Why does the video start from the middle?

Did someone check the video before us?

Ms Kang saw it a couple of days ago.

Il Joo?

But something doesn't make sense, Il Joo.

It's not like a stranger stole your things.

A seven-year-old child took your ring...

Why would you go after her with such fury?

I was out of my mind.

I shouldn't have chased her so intensively.

You looked really desperate.

Was it really the ring that you were after?

Why would you risk so much...

over a petty thing like a diamond ring.

Was it because...

my daughter took a document that wasn't hers?
