Original subtitles

You were a stranger before you came here.

How dare you deceive us and make my son kneel?

I will never forgive you.

Kneel!

What nonsense are you talking about?

Do you think I'm a joke?

Joon Seo is Ji Young's son.

Don't be ridiculous.

I know. It's ridiculous, right?

But it's you who did such a ridiculous thing.

How dare you deceive my family?

I'm not sure what you heard from whom, but...

Do you need evidence?

All we need is a DNA test of you and Joon Seo.

You got pregnant when you were infertile,

so I thought it was weird.

So you fabricated a scandal and kicked me out to the States.

I lost my husband, and I had to...

go to the States without my son.

Do you have any idea what I went through?

- Jae Hee. - I'll never forgive you.

I'll kick you out naked.

And that's just not enough.

No matter what they say, Joon Seo is my son.

You still...

Can only the birth mother be the child's mother?

I've raised him with all my heart for the past 10 years.

Joon Seo is my son!

You just don't get the picture.

Why did you lie that you were pregnant?

It was your diabolical scheme to take Cheonji Group.

What about you?

Are you pure and naive?

You still don't get it, do you?

We have to cut out a spiteful wench like you.

We don't even have to wait.

I'll tell Dad and end everything. Just prepare yourself.

Jae Hee. Jae Hee!

Why did you let him go? You should've stopped him.

He must miss home.

He said he'll come again.

- Joon Seo. - Mom.

Why didn't you come home sooner?

Did you not miss me?

Of course, I did.

By the way, Mom, are you cold?

Why are you shivering?

Why do you think she is?

I guess she missed you so much.

Are you okay?

I went sledding in the snow, and I ate grilled sweet potatoes.

Hyeon Woo even gave me this robot.

You even got a gift?

It seems like Hyeon Woo's family treated you so well.

Yes.

I have something to tell you, Dad.

Go ahead.

You can talk to me, Jae Hee.

I need to talk to Dad.

What is it about?

I have an interesting story.

About the contract she made in Madrid.

Right. I heard it went well.

Yes, Father. She did a great job.

There are some legal issues I need to take care of.

Let's talk about it, Jae Hee.

I'm done talking to you.

I need to talk to Dad.

You and I can take care of it.

And Father is upset about Hyeon Woo already.

Is it about Hyeon Woo?

It's about Joon Seo.

Jae Hee!

What are you guys doing?

You don't have to tell Father about it.

You can talk to me.

Come here.

Joon Seo, you should wait here.

Okay.

Let's go.

- What are you doing? - Come here.

What's wrong with them?

I don't care.

When are they going to stop squabbling?

Gosh.

What do you want me to do?

You want to make a deal?

Why would I?

I can kick you out immediately with one word.

Do you think...

you can take Cheonji Construction this way?

What?

I won't be kicked out with nothing.

I'm not going to die alone.

I'll die with someone trying to kill me.

Look at you.

I've gathered evidence...

taking care of you and Seung Hoon.

I wondered when I'd get to use it.

Now that things have come to this pass, I'll use it all.

Let's die together.

You studied law, but you're not good at weighing things.

Scandals about me and Seung Hoon,

and the fact that Joon Seo isn't your son...

Which one do you think is heavier?

I did it at the risk of my life.

And that's how I've lived.

I'm not afraid of anything.

You are good enough to steal...

the place of Cheonji Group's daughter-in-law.

Now that you're ready to die,

the scales might balance.

I have a winning rate of 100 percent for a reason.

All right. Let's talk.

The sooner the better when it comes to negotiations.

Tell me what you want.

Stay away from Seung Hoon's Smart City.

And help me...

become the executive.

Okay.

Tell me how you found out.

Before that, let me ask you something.

How did you get to raise Ji Young's kid?

Ji Young gave up her son.

How would she raise her ex-husband's kid?

You are still lying to me.

I just can't trust you.

She needed Hyeong Woo's brother to save his life.

And you must've threatened her to give you the kid to agree to it.

It's Jae Wook...

who told you that.

That means what I just said is true.

It's not that I heard it from Jae Wook.

Then who?

This is my hidden card. I can't use it so easily.

I should be prepared for the time of need.

This isn't a fair deal.

I'll let you live as Joon Seo's mom.

What more do you need?

Jae Hee!

You know where you are now, right?

All your effort for the past years...

can vanish like dust in the wind.

You'll have to listen to me if you don't want it to vanish.

You'd want to kill me, but don't let me see that.

You are good at hiding things.

You can do that, right?

Whose pajamas are these?

I just bought them before.

Are they for Hyeon Woo's brother?

How did you know?

Hyeon Woo said that before.

That he used to have a brother of my age.

Right.

They are for Hyeon Woo's brother.

It fits me well.

And it's warm.

It smells like Joon Seo.

I'm sorry...

for taking Joon Seo with me.

It's okay.

I was actually glad that you did.

You're mature enough to do such a thing.

I felt sorry and grateful.

I...

I want to keep my promise with you.

That we will go to see Gaudi?

Yes.

We can do that whenever you want.

We've lost a lot of time and might have lost the chance,

but now that we have the promise,

it leaves me with hope...

that we can meet again sometime.

Thank you for the ride.

Bye.

Hyeon Woo.

I don't...

deserve to be your dad.

I did bad things to you and your mom.

So I couldn't even show up.

But I've never forgotten you even for a moment.

When I looked at Joon Seo,

I thought of you all the time.

I just thought...

he was a gift from you.

If he finds out that I'm his brother,

do you think he'll like it?

Sure.

Joon Seo is too young to understand things now,

but once he grows up,

he will be proud of you.

When do you think it will be?

How old does he have to be?

Whenever it is,

it will happen for sure.

While I was staying with Joon Seo,

you were being nice to me. Thank you.

Bye.

There are frogs in there.

And fish.

You can even take your sleigh on it in winter.

It sounds fun.

What are you doing out here? It's cold.

And you're wearing light clothing.

The pond is frozen.

I know.

It froze after Joon Seo left.

Joon Seo said...

he'd come to ride sleds once the pond freezes.

He said he's never...

tried sledding on the ice.

He said he really wanted to try.

Should I tell Hyeon Woo to call him?

To tell him that the pond is frozen.

Do you think they will let him come here?

I'll go and bring him here.

I'll ask them to send him...

because Joon Seo wants to go sledding.

There's Hyeon Woo. Hyeon Woo!

What is it?

I was just saying that. It's okay.

What are you doing out here?

Were you waiting for me?

No, we were not. You're not a kid.

We were just on a date.

Then did I interrupt your date?

I should've come later.

Did Joon Seo go home well?

Yes.

Did you get in trouble by his family?

No.

They said that they are glad we had fun together.

Let's go inside.

Hey.

Hello.

Did you drive Hyeon Woo home?

Yes.

Didn't Hyeon Woo say anything?

Did he tell you something?

Yes.

He said he'll come live here...

if we send Joon Seo to his mom.

I can't tell your father about that though.

Maybe I shouldn't have told him about it.

I'm glad that you told him.

I didn't know Hyeon Woo was going through a hard time.

I don't think Hyeon Woo wants to come here.

But your father wants to bring him here no matter what.

The kids will be hurt.

I don't know what to do.

I'll tell him.

Hyeon Woo?

Of course, he should be here.

Why do you ask?

You should be satisfied...

that Hyeon Woo was here.

What are you talking about? Now is crucial.

Hyeon Woo needs proper education,

and he needs a good upbringing.

Do you really have to separate him from his mom and hurt him?

Throw away your greed now.

Are you saying I'm being greedy?

I'm doing this for the future of Cheonji Group.

And now you're saying I'm doing all this out of greed?

You just don't have...

what it takes to become the president.

If you keep being like this, I'll move out.

What?

Please don't get involved in this anymore.

I'm telling you as the father of Hyeon Woo and Joon Seo.

- How dare you... - Please don't make things worse!

I'll raise Joon Seo well.

So please don't cross the line.

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E27 A Pledge to God "Hyeon Woo’s Proposal" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Your temperature won't go down.

We can't wait like this. Let's go to the hospital.

Right, Mom. You need to see a doctor.

I'm fine.

If I get some rest, I'll be okay. Don't worry.

- Mom. - Hyeon Woo.

My gosh.

I knew you'd be sick.

Gosh.

You're burning up. What should we do?

We should take her to the hospital.

Mom. I'm okay.

She keeps saying she won't see a doctor.

This isn't something that a doctor can treat.

She must be devastated now.

Ji Young.

Cry as much as you want. Cry out loud.

Then you'll get over it.

There's a way.

Let's hand this over to another company.

What?

We can't stop it here like this.

I agree. I know the company who can do this.

I didn't do all this for just giving away to another company.

That's my land.

I was going to build it on my land and keep it.

I didn't do all this for 10 years to give it away to someone else.

So what do you want to do?

I'm just going to burn it all down.

Have you completely lost your mind?

I lost my mind a long time ago.

I had to be insane to survive.

Hey, Cho Seung Hoon.

I'm sorry, guys.

If I knew this would happen,

I wouldn't have called you guys.

Let's go back to school.

Let's go there and learn what we want to learn.

Just bring me the alcohol.

Let's drink to our death.

Why are you so drunk?

Go to the States with me.

What are you talking about?

Let's go there...

and spend five years there. Okay?

- What's wrong? - Why?

You can't go there because of someone else?

(Mom)

Mom, you troublemaker. What's up?

Where are you?

Why do you ask?

You want to come and tell me that you ruined my life?

Where are you?

Seung Hoon. Seung Hoon?

I can't believe this.

Will you come here?

I wondered who you were. It's still you.

You're lasting long.

It just happened.

Don't make it last too long. Wait until I call you.

Take him.

Yes, ma'am.

If you call her, I won't see you again.

Make sure to drink moderately.

Nothing's over yet.

This is just the beginning.

You can do whatever you want.

Did you beg Aunt?

She begged me.

I can't trust you anymore.

Let's go.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

My son.

My son, Joon Seo.

Mom.

- Joon Seo. - Mom.

Joon Seo.

Joon Seo.

I'm sorry.

I'll bring Joon Seo.

I'll bring him to you.

(Hyeon Woo)

Hyeon Woo.

Can't you bring Joon Seo here, please?

What's wrong?

Mom is very sick.

She keeps looking for Joon Seo.

What is ailing her?

Her heart.

Please send Joon Seo here.

Joon Seo's her son.

Hyeon Woo.

I'll be there instead.

If you send Joon Seo here, I'll live there.

Please send Joon Seo to my mom.

Hyeon Woo.

Mom.

(Jae Wook)

Are you feeling better?

What do you mean?

You know about Joon Seo?

You said...

my brother is in our hearts.

So I thought he left after saving my life.

I didn't know it was Joon Seo.

How did you know?

That's not important.

You miss Joon Seo, right?

I'll bring him.

I can live there instead of Joon Seo.

Then they will send Joon Seo back to you.

Don't say that, Hyeon Woo.

I can't live without you.

Mom.

Hyeon Woo.

Please forgive me, Hyeon Woo.

I'm so sorry.

What's wrong Hyeon Woo?

Are you all right, Ji Young?

What are you doing?

Can't you see? I'm cooking breakfast.

You can't do that.

You were sick all night. What are you doing?

I'm okay now.

What?

The fever came down.

After I got a phone call.

What phone call?

When Hyeon Woo started middle school,

I opened an installment savings account for traveling.

- Yes. - And it has matured.

It matured already?

I know.

Time flies so fast.

You're right.

I got better after I heard about the money.

I guess I like money.

Let's go on a trip.

The phone is turned off.

Please leave a message after the beep.

What brings you here?

I heard you were sick.

It's nothing.

Hyeon Woo's phone is turned off.

I wondered if something happened.

Do you...

want to have some tea?

Thank you for sending...

Joon Seo to me.

I'm sorry I didn't do that sooner.

Thank you for sending Hyeon Woo to me.

It wouldn't have been easy.

It wasn't easy to tell Hyeon Woo...

that Joon Seo is his brother.

So I couldn't do it.

Mother told him that.

He told her that he thought his brother was dead...

and lived feeling guilty.

I didn't know.

That's why he brought Joon Seo.

I feel bad that I didn't tell him...

about Joon Seo sooner.

I wanted to apologize to you...

for taking Hyeon Woo away from you...

and not letting him see you.

And to Hyeon Woo.

Ji Young.

But if I try to undo the past,

I would be hurting Min Ho.

If it weren't for him,

Hyeon Woo and I wouldn't have been able to make it.

I know.

I think I should let Joon Seo go.

Na Kyung is Joon Seo's mom.

And I have to recognize that...

so Joon Seo can be happy.

And I want you to live well.

Joon Seo can be happy...

only when you're happy.

Okay.

I'll be happy.

(Episode 28 will air shortly.)

(Episode 28)

By any chance,

did you tell anyone around me about Joon Seo?

What are you talking about?

You're the only one who'd leak the words.

You or your mom.

I don't know what this is about,

but I never told anyone about him.

Can I believe you?

It's up to you.

Believe me if you'd like,

or you could...

choose not to believe anyone.

It's no time to joke around.

You know I can't afford that right now.

However your situation may be,

it's none of my business.

You say I'm his mom in front of me,

but you might change your words behind my back. Who knows?

How dare you raise your voice at her?

Why do you keep meddling in someone else's business?

You want me to bring your life down?

How nice. I was looking for a nice topic to cover anyway.

Next week's topic for "What's Your Choice"...

will be your story.

I'll cover enough of you as you wanted.

You know her too?

So the words came from you.

Just reveal it if you're that afraid.

Stop keeping it in.

Is that what you want?

I'm saying this for your sake.

You look troubled.

My car key's missing.

I was always curious what women carried in their bags.

So this is what they carry.

It's a mess...

just like how I feel.

If it's a mess,

put it back in order.

Like this.

By the way,

your car keys are missing.

I'll just take a cab.

I didn't want to drive anyway.

I'll give you a ride.

You're...

like a hedgehog, you know that?

You mean, I cause harm to people around me?

Because you prick them unconsciously...

even if you don't intend to.

Hedgehog thorns are for defense, not offense.

You might end up pricking yourself if you curl up in a ball.

Don't forget that.

You've never been anxious, have you?

Of course, I have.

I thought all would go smoothly if I had things under my control.

You know, broadcasting has no definite answers.

My programs have a viewership of 1 or 2 percent every week.

I'm walking on eggs.

Oh, please.

You're nothing compared to me.

Don't clench your fists all the time.

You don't look happy at all.

Can't you just let go of everything?

What then?

You'll live at ease as yourself.

Put everything down,

and come to me.

Don't you dare cross the line again.

I'll let the broadcasting station know of this.

I told you I'm a fan of yours.

You know what fans want?

They simply want their stars to be happy.

Their supporting hearts are the most innocent.

All right.

Don't be content...

because you've done a good job so far.

I'm not telling you to do better.

Work as if you're building a house for your family.

Always keep that in mind.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Thanks for the hard work.

Hey. Where's the place I like to go?

Would you like to go?

How nice.

My heart races whenever I come here.

There.

And there.

My life lies within.

If an architect comes across nice land,

they wish to go see it often just like they do with their crush.

I often woke up in the middle of the night...

and came here to enjoy the view.

I'll retain your will.

I've read your 20-year plan.

I see.

You indeed are my son.

That is why I'm counting on you.

You made Cheonji Group this big.

I know you look down on me...

because I care too much about my blood.

That's not it.

The eldest son has a share for himself.

It's not for the second son.

But those kids are still too young.

It's crucial to give them the order of precedence in their early ages.

In Joon Seo's perspective,

he might think Hyeon Woo is taking away what belongs to him.

So we must let him know for certain...

that Hyeon Woo is his older brother.

I'll raise Joon Seo well so that doesn't happen.

Don't be stubborn.

Let's climb down. People might wait for us.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

Thanks for your hard work.

I'm here too, Grandpa.

- I see. - He's here to learn from you.

Don't let things pass...

and check everything in detail.

- I'll keep that in mind. - Good.

- Thanks for your hard work. - My pleasure.

Keep up the good work.

Are there many customers?

Yes, they even make a line to browse.

There was a 300m-long line for the 2nd apartment complex.

I see.

Let's see.

(Ilsan Xii)

We tried to make an apartment complex...

that's eco-friendly as well as convenient for the residents.

I see you put a lot of effort into the landscaping.

Whether it becomes a high-class living environment or not...

depends on the landscaping.

Buildings tend to wear out as time passes,

but trees grow and increase the value...

as time passes.

Right.

It will be like an apartment complex built in an eco-friendly park.

This will be a high-class town if things go as planned.

Good. It looks very nice.

You know this is their outpost for the smart city, right?

Right.

They adopted part of the system which I plan to use.

Bring Jae Wook on your side.

I didn't make a deal with Na Kyung...

just to give you one smart city.

Why aren't you telling me what you offered in the deal?

What are you waiting for? Let's move.

Okay, Father.

The trial on the land is taking place tomorrow, right?

That's right.

Are you confident?

I'll tell you after the results come out.

I guess you're confident, seeing how you're saving words.

There could be variables.

Right.

(Number of visitors: 74)

Yes! 74 people visited my blog.

I'm going to make it 100 within a month.

You've got a new message.

It's Gyeol Ja Hae Ji.

It's been a while, Gyeol Ja Hae Ji.

You got more visitors.

You might make your wish come true soon.

I asked about your wish too,

but you never answered me.

(I asked about your wish too, but you never answered me.)

My wish came true too.

I met my little brother.

His brother?

Your wish was to meet your little brother?

I was sick a long time ago.

We had to part ways after he saved me.

But we recently met again.

Congratulations. You're not sick anymore, right?

Well...

Actually,

it relapsed.

What?

Are you at a hospital then?

I'm not going there.

I have a lot of things that I want to do,

but I won't be able to do any of them if I get hospitalized.

Shouldn't you go get your disease treated though?

I was able to live 10 more years thanks to my brother.

I'm thankful enough for it.

I'd be greedy to ask for more.

But still.

Forget about what I said.

I won't visit your blog again.

No, Gyeol Ja Hae Ji. Don't go.

I have my last favor to ask of you.

I don't want to do anything that will be the last.

If you don't do someone's last favor,

you'll be unlucky all day long.

It's okay even if I stay unlucky for a year,

so don't say it's the last.

(Disconnected)

No way.

Please come back online.

No...

Farewell,

Hae Ji.

(Cheonji Group)

Last week...

We got rid of all the obstacles.

You won the trial?

Yes.

(Trial Report on Smart City Land Compensation)

Gosh.

I knew it.

Good work, my daughter-in-law.

Thank you, Father.

Good job, Na Kyung.

I'll grant you a wish. Tell me.

My wish already came true. You accepted me as your daughter-in-law.

Not something like that. Tell me your real wish.

If I do something wrong,

let it slide once.

Did you do something wrong?

In case it happens.

Even a monkey can fall from a tree,

but it's a mistake, not a fault.

Anyone can make mistakes.

But they can avoid making faults.

He means, he won't let it slide...

if it's a fault, not a mistake.

But Father.

I said I'd grant you a wish,

so I'll let it slide once whether it's a mistake or a fault.

I'm just telling you, you can avoid making it.

Okay.

I'll keep that in mind.

That was clever.

I need to set up a safety net.

You think this will work as a safety net?

I think it might turn out to be poison instead.

What do you mean?

Thank carefully.

You'll find the answer easily...

if you know what kind of person Father is.

Take a light shower.

Okay.

Is this the underwear made by Jae Wook?

Right.

This is unexpectedly convenient.

I guess I should take some as a gift for my golf club next week.

Get me a few more cans of this.

You want to brag about your son to the club members?

Tell him yourself. He might be happy to hear it.

I don't want to make him lazy by commending him.

It'd be much nicer if you express your feelings more to your children.

That's embarrassing.

I don't care if they know how I feel or not.

Father.

I'll go out in a second.

What business do you have with her?

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E28 A Pledge to God "Na Kyung’s Predicament" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

It's a gift for Hyeon Woo.

Okay, Father.

Let's make things easy.

The faster you get started, the faster it ends.

I will.

Hello?

What are you calling for?

What's this?

It's compensation for giving up on Hyeon Woo.

What?

Once Hyeon Woo becomes an adult,

he will return to the Kim family.

When that happens,

you won't be given any compensation.

Change his family name...

when you're offered compensation.

You should get paid for raising him.

You think that makes sense?

Everything in the world makes sense.

Depending on how you take it,

its result changes. That's all.

Look.

I'm not telling you to decide right now.

Take your time...

and think carefully.

(Family Registration Certification)

(Kim Joon Gi)

- Hello? - What is this?

Have you made up your mind?

I asked you a question.

Visit all three places before you make a decision.

I recommend the first place.

Although all three places charge the same rate,

the first one is the best option considering the future value.

Is this Kim Jae Wook's idea?

It's the chairman's orders.

Now that he's on the move,

he'll get it done according to his will.

It's hard to win.

Make a realistic decision.

Honey, how about we have kalguksu for lunch?

What's that?

I need to head out for a second.

Where?

It's nothing serious.

Honey.

(Kim Joon Gi)

Honey.

Today's lunch box isn't so satisfying.

What?

Why didn't you pack the steamed pollack I had for breakfast?

Because you had it this morning.

That's enough to finish a bowl of rice.

Did you eat it all?

I left some for Joon Seo.

You know he likes it too.

What's the use in taking after my palate?

I want it for dinner.

All right.

He's upset because there's no steamed pollack in his lunch box.

I knew he'd bring it up.

Make it for dinner.

Someone who claims to be Hyeon Woo's father wishes to see you.

- What? - He wants to tell you something.

What do you want me to do?

You couldn't even deal with that mere issue?

Understood, sir.

- Are you sure it's him? - Yes.

It's the man I saw back in Yangpyeong.

He wishes to talk to the chairman?

He's been waiting in the lobby for 30 minutes.

I'll go talk to him.

Clear the table.

I couldn't send you back fruitlessly when you came all the way here.

Have a seat.

That's not enough?

I've been patient...

for Hyeon Woo...

and for Joon Seo.

Why would you bring Joon Seo up?

You shouldn't do this.

Do you even know how she felt when she sent Joon Seo off?

She had no choice because she had to save Hyeon Woo.

Children aren't objects you can bargain with.

They have thoughts and feelings.

Not to mention the broken heart of a mother...

who was forced to let go of her own child.

What are you talking about?

After sending off Joon Seo,

she struggled for 10 years.

Now you want to take Hyeon Woo away from her too?

How much more do you want Ji Young to sacrifice?

Are you saying...

Joon Seo's mom...

is Ji Young?

Didn't you know?

(A Pledge to God)

I can tolerate everything, but not anyone who deceives me.

For 10 long years?

I did it to protect my family.

Mother, please help me.

You expect this to pass after deceiving your father?

I found this in the trash.

Even if it did relapse, there's still a way to treat it, right?
