Original subtitles

Thank you for everything.

I want to quit...

my secretary job.

You don't need to worry about my child any more.

I'll take care of her myself...

even if it means I'd have to go into debt.

I will make sure you never hear anything like that any more.

I will become a tree which you can lean on.

I'll become a big shadow which can protect...

your child, too.

All you have to do is become a part of my family.

Then, no one will be able to lay a finger on you.

Marry me.

What did you just say?

- Hyeong Woo. - I said, what did you say?

What are you doing?

Let go.

Didn't you hear what he said?

I said, let go of him!

What gives you the right to interfere?

Eun Soo, will you go inside?

No.

I will stay here.

Go inside.

I have to talk to Hyeong Woo.

Why are you back?

Why didn't you go home?

I came because nothing made sense.

And I couldn't fall asleep.

Is it true that nothing happened between you and Mr Kang?

You said this to me.

You told me to give Eun Soo more time and space.

Is this a scheme you came up with to take Eun Soo for yourself?

After her child became ill, did you try to tempt...

her weakened heart with your money and power?

- Hyeong Woo. - Don't say my name. Just answer me.

Why did you ask Eun Soo to marry you?

Is there any other way?

Look at the circumstances.

You're finally showing your true colours.

We were meant to get married and go abroad together.

But how dare you say that to Eun Soo?

Hyeong Woo!

How dare you speak to him like that?

He's a two-faced scum.

Get out of my way.

Stop it.

I told you to stop!

If you could make Eun Soo happy, there would be nothing for me to do.

But...

you're no longer capable of that.

I'm not afraid of your accusations.

I don't want...

to be a coward again.

Shut your mouth!

That's just your lame excuse.

Eun Soo used to be your daughter's friend.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Why did Mr Kang's family make such a fuss?

You heard what they said.

It's because Mr Kang is paying for Mi Rae's hospital fees.

Is there no other reason?

Those people accused you of trying to seduce Mr Kang.

It's fine as long as that's not the truth.

Like you said, we can't let Mi Rae die in front of us.

Why don't you...

hurry up and get married with Hyeong Woo in the meantime.

What other choice do we have? Money is the problem.

We can't afford to pay 5,000 dollars for the hospital fee each day.

You need to turn to Hyeong Woo.

We don't even know when Mi Rae is going to wake up.

Don't make him wait.

Just get married and go on your honeymoon.

I'll stay here beside her.

I...

broke up with him.

- What did you say? - I broke up with Hyeong Woo.

So don't contact him any more, Mum.

What did you just say?

Why? For what reason?

You two were madly in love.

Does he...

feel burdened because of Mi Rae?

That can't be.

He was so attentive and would visit her often.

Then what's the reason?

Don't tell me there is something going on between you and Mr Kang.

Are you okay? Shall we go in?

That's just your lame excuse.

Eun Soo used to be your daughter's friend.

Oh my goodness.

It's been a while.

Go out.

I don't know what's going on between you two, but go out and solve it.

You don't need to come back tonight,

so take her somewhere nice.

I'm not going, Mum.

Listen to me.

Do you want me to lose my cool in front of Mi Rae?

I know how you feel right now.

I know you can't think straight because you're in a lot of pain.

But listen to me carefully, Eun Soo.

Mr Kang had feelings for you for a long time.

He's trying to take you away from me.

Remember...

when Mr Kang recorded and edited my conversation with my mum?

And he let you listen to it.

That's not all.

The person with the unknown caller ID was also Mr Kang.

The reason for that...

Why do I have to listen to this?

He's not proposing to you with pure intentions.

He's an evil old man.

He is someone I need in my life.

I can provide the hospital fee.

I'll take care of Mi Rae regardless of the cost.

Please come back to your senses, Eun Soo.

I don't want to give responsibility to a person I broke up with.

Mr Kang can only live five more years.

Do you want to go through that tragedy again?

That's good news. I'll take care of Mi Rae with the inheritance.

How could you...

think like that?

Don't touch me.

This is unbelievable.

After what happened yesterday,

you still have the nerve to come back here?

You're really shameless, aren't you?

Thank you for the support, but I won't accept your money.

Do you think this will be enough after what you did to Mi Rae?

Look here, Ms Shin.

Let's eat.

Oh my goodness!

Goodness.

Father, I'm sorry. I'm late again today.

What's with everyone's mood?

This is why I don't like to have breakfast with my family.

Instead of a good morning, it's a gloomy morning.

Did you bust your lips?

You must be tired because of your child.

Who went to the hospital yesterday?

Who slapped Eun Soo yesterday?

Oh my goodness!

Did someone slap you?

Who was it? Why would they slap you?

Violence is barbaric!

Be quiet.

Il Do,

was it you?

No.

I went there with her and the others.

You went there to give her money.

Yes. I gave her the money to stop you from slapping her.

Fine, it was me. I slapped her.

Father, do you know what kind of rumour is going around?

Ms Ko told us everything.

She said you had your arms around that woman.

Think about the shame if the public knew about it.

I'm going to cancel your Gangnam election.

Father!

Do you also want to be fired as the chairman of the Woonkang Foundation?

Ms Ko, I thought your job was to prevent such rumours...

from spreading within the family.

I am deeply sorry, Mr Kang.

I don't care how you think of Eun Soo.

Don't ever bother her again.

I won't allow it.

Eun Soo,

come see me after breakfast.

Yes, Sir.

I agree with you, Father.

Father, I will run for the Gangnam district election.

You won't do any good to this country.

Why don't you move out instead?

I think I was over my head yesterday.

One should know how to control their emotions as they get older.

As an old man with not many days left to live,

I was foolish.

I will keep my word.

I'll contact my attorney...

and make sure that your daughter receives the best care.

Forget what I said yesterday.

What about my feelings?

People might mock me...

but I also...

have feelings for you.

It's not because of Mi Rae.

Life was so hard so I wanted to depend on you.

At first you were like a father figure,

but now my feelings have changed.

Your feelings for Cheong Mi,

I want to feel it too.

Is that wrong?

I apologise.

I forgot my place.

I'm really sorry.

Eun Soo.

I'm sorry.

I...

I don't want to let you go.

Oh.

Eun Soo's at work.

I know.

What happened yesterday?

She didn't come over.

Did you work it out?

- No. - Oh dear.

Why won't she do as she's told?

She should know better.

I hope you can understand.

She lost her mind since Mi Rae got into that accident.

I'll talk to her.

Think of this as one of her mood swings...

and give her time.

I'm sure it'll get better soon.

It's not that.

I need your help.

Eun Soo has other plans.

I can't give up on her.

What other plans?

Did we...

make things worse?

You should've tried harder.

I did my best.

I lost my constituency.

Why were you so quiet?

Madam Han,

why aren't you helping?

I'm not part of this family.

I don't get it.

What's the problem?

So Dad hugged the mum of an unconscious child to comfort her.

Don't you feel for her?

I can't stand it.

I should become a nun.

Where is the old man?

How dare you call him that?

Where is that scum?

Tell him to come out right now!

That crass woman scares me.

Why are you here, Mum?

Is it true that you proposed to my daughter?

Are you out of your mind?

Mum, let's go.

I thank you for your generosity but this is just wrong.

How could you?

Let's go!

My goodness.

What's wrong with you?

How could you come here and say those things?

Look me in the eyes and tell me the truth.

Did he really propose to you?

Yes.

He did.

And I said yes.

Have you really lost your mind?

Is this about Mi Rae?

You fool.

He may have money and power but he's 70 years old.

Why do you want to marry a man...

who won't live much longer?

Get a grip.

You love money.

What about it?

- What? - Yes.

I craved money and power since I was a kid.

When Dad was Mr Jin's driver and you were his helper,

guess what the kids at school said.

Did you have to put me through all that?

Mr Jin just died like that...

and Dad was beat up.

We lacked power and could only watch.

Dad became an alcoholic...

and died because we couldn't afford his treatment.

I want it all.

I want money and power to save Mi Rae.

I'm done living like this.

Why is it wrong?

Fine.

It's my fault.

Goodness.

It's all my fault.

I should've just died with your father.

I have no reason to continue living.

Father.

Is it true?

Did you propose to Eun Soo?

Is that the truth?

Yes.

It's true.

Father.

Are you talking about Eun Soo?

Wait.

She's a single mother.

Just a while ago she was going to leave Korea with another man.

And now you want to marry her?

Are you senile?

Sir.

Think about what the people will say.

You managed to save face...

ever since your wife died.

Father.

Did you forget that I went to school with Eun Soo?

Sir.

Why would someone like her even want to marry you?

To be honest,

she wants a rich man who won't live long...

to secure her future.

Get a grip.

Il Joo was the result of your mistress back then.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Sir.

This isn't the time to start a new life.

You should think about what to do with your remaining life.

This is something that...

can't happen. It shouldn't happen.

This must never happen.

This is the worst case of someone losing their mind.

I'm about to faint.

You abandoned my mother.

I felt terrible about that.

The guilt of not being able to protect her...

makes me want to protect Eun Soo.

How could someone like her replace my mother?

If you feel guilty, then you should protect me.

You should taken better care of me.

You're very upset right now. Let's go inside.

Don't use my mother as an excuse.

Let's go.

Do something about this.

What can I do? He made up his mind.

Do something.

Fine.

I'll think of something so calm down.

It's all your fault.

If you hadn't opened my safe,

if you hadn't lost the documents...

Don't say that.

If you hadn't put the documents in Ms Shin's bag,

none of this would've happened.

Let's not waste energy fighting.

More importantly...

It's about Madam Han.

She called us and egged us on,

so why isn't she saying anything?

It took a long time,

but we got there.

It would have been much harder had it not been for you.

They aren't married yet.

I wonder if we're celebrating too soon.

It's not over yet.

We just took the first step.

We need to control her well...

and get what we want.

Yes.

Entering the castle...

is nothing compared to surviving in it.

You know what you need to do, right?

Of course.

Don't forget about supporting me.

It seems like...

we'll spot his slush fund soon with this kind of cooperation.

How could he seriously think about getting married?

How could an old tree like himself bloom?

My goodness.

On a leafless branch...

of a dying old tree, a flower blossomed.

Listen.

A dying fire is getting lit up one last time before it turns to ashes.

My goodness.

I'm going to write an awesome poem.

Isn't my father amazing?

That means you will have to refer to Ms Shin...

as your mother.

What?

That can't happen. I won't let it happen.

What I am saying is that this is romantic in a literary way.

I won't accept this in reality.

Hello, Ma'am.

I want to see the new products. Show me the line I always use.

Yes, right this way.

This is more moist than the one before.

Her face was really dry.

This will help her skin shine.

Isn't this colour too vivid?

Your face looks more lit up.

I don't think she'd use it even if I buy it for her.

But I have nothing to lose.

Wrap these two up for me.

Yes, Ma'am.

Wait.

I'll take this, too.

Hey, where have you been?

How could you go shopping in the midst of all this?

I didn't go shopping.

Then what is this? Did you pick it up on the streets?

What is this? Cosmetics?

Did you get this...

to suck up to that woman?

What are you talking about? She's about to be my mother-in-law.

I have my pride, too.

This is for Yoo Kyeong.

Are you trying to be a good stepmother once in a while?

My goodness, father must be out of his mind.

How can he want to marry someone who is around his daughter's age?

Exactly.

Their age difference is bigger than you and Yoo Kyeong.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Mum, why aren't you picking up?

It looked like Eun Soo didn't have an appetite, so I came to buy...

some dim sum, her favourite. Don't eat dinner without me.

Hello, Chai Yen Restaurant.

Do you deliver one serving of black bean noodles?

I'm sorry.

Then, I'd like four black bean noodles delivered.

Hey, this isn't a prank.

Excuse me, don't hang up.

I'm sorry.

Aren't you that person...

from the club fire hazard?

The black bean noodles.

Yes, I am.

Is it too awkward to go eat by yourself?

Do you want me to go with you?

- No, thanks. - It's all right.

Hey.

Welcome.

You're going to eat black bean noodles, right?

I just ordered dim sum for takeout.

Would you like the takeout after you finish eating?

I think your girlfriend doesn't like Chinese food.

No. She has this place's number on her speed dial.

And she's not my girlfriend.

I think I've seen her somewhere but where?

It's so obvious that I paid my way through college.

There's no need to do this.

It's Mr Kang's order. I'll come pick you up tomorrow.

Eun Soo.

You lied, didn't you?

You still love me.

You pushed me away every time we got closer.

Whenever you said hurtful things,

you had your reasons.

Not this time.

Do you think my mother pushed Mi Rae down the stairs?

Is that why?

No.

I gave up everything for you.

I gave up my revenge which I've dreamed for 15 years.

I even gave my mother up.

But we were happy to leave together, weren't we?

Do you think Mi Rae...

would want you to do this to me?

I apologise if I did something wrong.

I'll apologise stopping you...

on the day Mi Rae fell down the stairs.

I can't break up like this, Eun Soo.

I can't live without you.

All couples say that...

when they break up.

But they all end up living well.

I hope you meet someone better than me and bring up a happy family.

Mr Kang isn't the right person for you.

Whatever you're thinking, it can't be him!

Eun Soo. Eun Soo!

I'm sorry, Hyeong Woo.

I can't let you get involved.

I want to protect you.

So...

forgive me...

for having to let you go.

Did you take her back home well?

Yes, Sir.

Then, I'll let you rest.

Hey.

Do you think I'm being too greedy?

Speak up.

I don't have any personal opinions...

on whatever decisions you make, Sir.

Not once have I doubted...

on any of your decisions.

I understand.

You can go now.

During all the years I've worked for you,

it's been a long time...

since I've seen you this happy.

Are you out of your mind?

Do you think that makes any sense?

I'll earn the money, okay?

I'll do whatever it takes to take care of Mi Rae's hospital fees.

What you're doing is totally absurd!

The down payment of this house won't be enough for the hospital fees.

Then what about your life?

You took care of our family since day one.

You paid off our family's debt and worked so hard.

And now you want to marry an old man for Mi Rae?

It's not only for Mi Rae.

Like you said,

I've worked too hard and I'm exhausted.

I want to live comfortably now.

You're not the same person I once knew.

How could you...

How could you make such a decision?

I'm ashamed of you.

Think about it carefully.

The minute you sign those papers, there is no going back.

I've made up my mind already.

Hyeong Woo.

Do you know that your girl and my father are getting married?

This isn't the time for you to be sleeping.

Aren't you going to stop her?

Mr Jin,

is everything all right with Ms Shin?

You two were madly in love with each other.

It's hard to believe you two broke up over a child.

Is it possible...

that Ms Shin has other intentions?

For instance,

is there a reason why she wants to become a part of this family?

What else would the reason be? She's after the money.

Please leave my room.

I want to know what you will...

Think about it carefully.

I know you still have feelings for her.

I hope you won't...

give up on Ms Shin like this.

That will...

benefit me as well.

Is it true that Eun Soo...

wanted to marry Father from the beginning?

What?

How could that be?

Is that why we got together last time?

What?

You guys got together without me?

She wanted to provoke us and make a scene...

to earn my father's sympathy.

Do you think that makes any sense?

Tell us why you're not involving yourself into this matter.

I'm only a spectator.

Everyone seems to have an enemy.

Do you think Mr Kang would listen to what I say?

I would only be misunderstood.

I almost forgot...

that it's more beneficial for you...

when my father marries Eun Soo.

Il Joo,

isn't it more beneficial for you than me?

You could get something you've wanted the most.

This incident would only put me...

in an awkward situation.

She'll check the ledgers each time.

If you can't do something about it,

can't you come up with a plan?

Everyone just be quiet!

The situation only escalated because of all of you.

You can't solve this with your brain.

You need to use your emotions, which are triggered from deep inside.

Let me take care of it.

I'll take care of everything.

Father.

Father?

I've never opposed to any of your decisions until now.

But with this case,

our family pride is on the line.

How could you marry a woman who is younger than your daughter?

If you like her so much, you can just make love to her.

Even with a blade on my throat,

I will not accept that woman as my stepmother.

I'm as old as her aunt.

How can I refer to her as my mother?

You don't need to call her that way.

Is that true?

Then I have no problem.

My decision is already set.

I will no longer tolerate any more disapprovals.

Eun Soo belongs to me now.

There will be severe consequences...

if you mistreat her from now on.

This is a family matter.

- It's not only your own... - Say one more word...

and I'll make sure you don’t receive my inheritance.

She belongs to you?

I can't believe you said that.

Father, were you always this romantic?

Goodness!

Since Eun Soo belongs to you now.

It can't get more romantic than this.

Where was my mother?

Was she on the outer left side?

No...

Was it Mr Kwon?

That day?

Yes.

You were the only one who didn't drink that day.

Do you remember...

where my mother was standing that night?

I remember Madam Han wearing dress pants.

I think she was on the outer left side.

I can't fully recall.

I was too focused on the child.

But...

why are you asking this?

It's nothing.

To be honest with you,

I'm actually happy with your decision.

I never wanted you and Hyeong Woo to be together.

But I still feel bad...

for your child.

Is there anything...

I can help you with?

You knew Cheong Mi well, right?

What was she like?

Why do you want to know that?

Mr Kang used to have feelings for her,

so I just wanted to know.

I see.

It's been such a long time. I can't remember well.

I'll tell you if I remember anything.

A lot of things have happened,

but I hope you have no hard feelings against me.

I will also try to help you with what I can.

Thank you.

How is your mother doing?

She's doing fine.

She was always like that.

I apologise for yesterday.

Any parent would react like that.

Don't worry about it too much.

My mother changes quickly after some time.

I know her well.

Okay.

How do you...

want to have our wedding ceremony?

The wedding ceremony?

I was told that women had certain preferences.

No, not for me.

If people knew about this,

it would only stain your reputation.

For me, your feelings are enough.

I've decided not to hold a public wedding ceremony,

but rather a small ceremony within the family.

So...

there's no need to tell other people.

Hi.

Why did you want to see me?

We live in the same house.

- I want to ask you something. - Wait.

I need to prepare myself.

I can't do it.

I know Eun Soo left you for my father,

but trying to lure me to fill in that void...

is just wrong.

And you're not my type.

The day Mi Rae fell,

you were on the stairs, right?

How would I know?

I was in a rotten mood and had too much to drink.

Don't you remember who was next to you?

Next to me?

Right or left?

I felt dizzy so I'm not sure.

I wasn't the only one drunk. Il Do was drunk, too.

We all ended up outside...

because the girl stole a diamond ring.

At first Mr Cho rushed forward.

Oh.

He held me because I almost fell over.

Was it Mr Cho?

I don't know.

All I know is that he was in front of me that day.

I bet he ran to my father when he came out.

You know what a loyal dog that man is.

It's not just my mother...

who wants her to stay.

Mr Kang...

He told Mr Cho to push Mi Rae.

I'm sorry, Mi Rae.

I can't see Hyeong Woo any more.

I know you liked him a lot.

I know how you feel.

But I have no choice...

but to pick this path.

Forgive me, Mi Rae.

I have to go.

I need to put on makeup.

Goodness.

What's the point of trying to impress an old man?

Come to the wedding.

Beom Soo, you too.

Are you trying to torment me?

Are you?

- What do you mean? - Are you making me pay...

for all the bad things I've done to you?

If that's not the case,

how could you tell me...

to watch you get married to an old man?

Mum.

While my friends' daughters get married to young men,

do you expect me to watch my own daughter...

throw her life away by marrying an old man?

I have to go. Bye.

Beom Soo.

Think about it from my perspective.

If I were to get married to an old woman,

would you come to my wedding and congratulate me like an idiot?

Enough said. I'm not going.

I'd rather die.

Smile.

Mr Kang, congratulations.

I was too embarrassed to invite you.

We are practically family.

What's there to be embarrassed about?

You stayed single for over 15 years.

It's too bad my wife is still alive.

I envy you.

I see you transferred to Seoul.

- Was it a promotion? - No.

I deal with the worst criminals.

My superiors want me to start at the bottom.

I see.

You need the experience to become Director of Public Prosecutions.

Let's sit.

Ms Shin is here.

How dare someone like you come here?

All right.

I guess I am guilty of being too charming.

I'll give you three minutes.

Go ahead.

Beg for my love with all the poetic language you know of.

- What? - I want to feel your love for me...

instead of hearing about someone else's love.

But remember this.

This doesn't mean that I am accepting your heart.

I'm only listening, okay?

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

Why would I confess my love to you?

It would be a different story if you were Eun Soo.

What?

Eun Soo?

Shin Eun Soo again?

I shouldn't stand around talking to a madwoman.

I need to call Eun Soo.

She should be finished with work by now. Where could she be?

Hey, she just got married to my father.

What?

Eun Soo did?

Yes, you idiot.

Two hours ago in this building.

- Unbelievable. - You should check for yourself.

My goodness.

I wasted my time for nothing.

Gosh.

Love is always the main equation.

Are you the owner of this restaurant?

Your restaurant is so tiny. What's the point of being the boss?

Hey.

Just keep your mouth shut if you don't know anything.

Do you know how many buildings I own?

I own this place...

and also the barbecue restaurant down the street.

Do you know how many restaurants I own?

But what good are they?

They are good for nothing.

Eun Soo.

My love, Eun Soo.

Here, wash your brain with alcohol.

I've done that often...

and it works every time.

It helps erase the unnecessary memories.

I miss her already.

My angel, Eun Soo.

Gosh.

She's nowhere close to an angel.

She needs to look like me to be an angel.

Look at my face, body and my emotions.

It's overflowing with purity.

What are you saying?

Hey!

Hey.

Stop saying "Hey" to me.

Refer to me as "Miss".

How dare you?

Why were you calling me "mister" all this time then?

I'm still single.

How would I know that?

Are you a virgin?

Why?

Gosh.

Hey.

Wake up.

Hey!

You should calm down.

How can I calm down?

Those documents weren't in that house.

They searched thoroughly.

She must be keeping them somewhere else.

Think about it, Il Joo.

If she really had those documents,

she would've told your father. She wouldn't be acting like that.

Maybe she doesn't have the documents at all.

She's trying to torment me to death.

Please do something about her, Moo Hyeok.

What do you mean?

Threaten her, persuade her, I don't care.

Just get her out of this house.

I won't leave that woman alone.

- Honey. - What if she has his child?

We'll be done with.

He won't give me his inheritance?

Whose inheritance was it to begin with?

It was my mother's.

He walked in empty-handed and took all of my mother's fortune.

And now he's looking down on me.

Be quiet.

- What are you doing? - I have something to tell you.

It's important.

What do you think you're doing?

I understand that you're not in your right mind.

But this is unacceptable.

My right mind?

Leave quietly before I call someone.

You're the one who pushed Mi Rae!

Killing my father wasn't enough for you.

You ordered Mr Cho to push Mi Rae to win Eun Soo's heart!

Die.

Die!

What are you doing?

- Let go of him! - Get out of my way!

You're dead!
