(Episode 22)

You must be devastated that you lost all those years,

but you should register your DNA information now...

and start all over again. What else can you do?

Yes, that's what I've decided to do.

Be strong.

Only then, your daughter can be strong.

Even when you were the skinny Corporal Choi,

you were more decisive and tenacious than anyone else.

Those mean jerks in the other unit gave up bothering you because of it,

and so did that ill-tempered commander.

You're right.

That did happen 40 years ago.

And 40 years from now, we'll probably be...

talking about today, don't you think?

"I was impressed by how you held out."

Are you saying I should live to be over 100 years old?

Then were you going to die shortly after finding your daughter?

You should live to 100 at least.

- Sir. - Yes.

- Would you like more tea? - No, it's okay.

We should look at some clothes now.

Let's go.

I go back and forth between home and my garden. I don't need clothes.

- I have nowhere to go. - Goodness.

You can wear your new clothes when we meet up.

But why? Do I look...

- shabbily dressed? - Gosh, no. It's not that.

That's really not why. Come on, let's go.

- Come on. - Gosh, all right.

- This way, please. - Okay.

Feel free to browse around.

Take a look at this section.

This way, please.

What would be good?

Here.

What about this one?

- This? - Yes.

Gosh, let's go over there and just look at some T-shirts.

Please try this on first.

It's very warm. Here.

I said I don't need any new clothes.

I have many winter jackets at home.

You need to try on a jacket I made. Here.

It looks great on you.

About Yoon Kyung or whatever her name is.

I asked if you made sure she can't pull anything like that ever again.

Why aren't you answering?

Well, please take a look at our designs first.

We'll start making our Christmas special editions tomorrow.

- What do you think? - Why did she show up?

What kind of nonsense did she go on about this time?

You seem troubled.

If she bothers him again, I'll run there...

and pull her hair out, so don't you worry.

- I wasn't talking to you. - Right, yes.

She said she's back because her father is ill.

- Have you checked if it's true? - No.

I just heard that he's in an intensive care unit.

Hey, Gi Dong.

What do you mean?

We're accused of plagiarism?

Plagiarism?

The person you're trying to reach is not available at this time.

This wench, I'll teach her a lesson when she comes home.

Oh, dear. It's not like I can tie her feet to mine...

and drag her everywhere I go.

I've had enough of this.

- I'm going out. - All right.

- Joo Chul. - Yes.

What's that bag?

Isn't this what you used to take to the taekwondo gym?

I went there yesterday.

The taekwondo gym?

I visited Coach Kang Dae Hoon's gym. I had a match with him...

and taught a few kids too.

- Seriously? - Yes.

I'll keep going whenever I have time.

Yes, good. I'm glad to hear that.

If it hadn't been for that nasty disease,

you should've been on the national team by now.

You would've made a mark after obtaining your doctorate.

No, no. Forget what I just said.

I want you to be healthy. That's all I can ask for.

But you know what? Seeing your taekwondo uniform,

it feels like my airway was blocked, but now I can breathe.

Don't worry about Joo Ah too much.

I'll keep calling her too.

You got it. I won't worry about her.

Even if she can be epically immature,

once I text her that you started taekwondo again,

I'm sure she'll rush home without looking back.

Leave! Leave! Get out of here!

Leave, lady!

Can't you check one more time?

I heard it'd be about 4 to 5 guys.

I'm frustrated because my business is going slow. Are you teasing me?

Forget about 4 to 5 guys.

I haven't seen 4 to 5 ants here!

Leave right now!

You must be worried that the scenario might leak.

I'm the main lead.

- You can... - Unbelievable.

Main lead, my foot!

Goodness, you are one stubborn girl!

If you keep barging in here,

I'll send you to the slammer for obstruction of business!

Come back one more time.

I'll report you right away! Goodness.

Stop lying, sir!

If he's not here...

This was my last stop!

What am I supposed to do now?

Sir! Sir!

What's up with the sunglasses?

Are you wearing them to show off your son got his first paycheck?

Don't you start.

She cooked dinner with the shades on.

You took them off when you went to bed, right?

After getting a job at the conglomerate,

Joo Chul bought them with his first paycheck.

What if I break them before I travel around the world?

I took them off when I went to bed.

You bragged about your son more than enough.

Come on, take them off now.

I have a meeting today. I'm worried you'll burn my hair.

I've been doing this for three decades.

I can do this my eyes closed. Stop worrying.

I told you. It's this hair salon.

- Hello. - Hi.

Is it your first time with our shop?

We're not here to get a haircut.

Aren't you moving out?

Sorry? Move out? Who's moving out?

The house next to the hair salon.

I was told that you'd get your things out before noon.

We're here to put up a new wallpaper and install the flooring.

You must have gotten the wrong address.

No one is moving out.

Really? Hold on.

Yes.

We're on the site now.

The tenant hasn't moved out.

I'm at the hair salon now.

Okay.

What's the name of the tenant?

"Lee..."

- "Sam Sook"? - Lee Sam Sook?

That is her name.

Yes, it's her.

Okay. Let me hang up for now.

Hold on. That is her name,

but she never put her house on the market.

The realtor will bring the contract here.

- Let's wait. - What realtor? What contract?

What's going on here? What is this?

Goodness, Ms. Lee. What are you doing?

You're burning my hair!

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

What on earth are you talking about?

It's rented out?

What do you mean?

Wait, how does that even make sense?

Mom, I'm on my way.

What is it? What happened?

I'm sorry. I have to go now.

Okay. Call me!

I can't see you today. I'll be in touch again.

What's his angle here?

The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.

The illustration wasn't plagiarized. It's the writing.

We can't still use it, can we?

Of course not.

Right. Right.

Then what will happen with the Christmas edition?

You called the manager of our Design Team, right?

Yes, everyone is probably on their way.

Here. Take a look.

I definitely gave you 50,000 dollars to Ms. Lee Sam Sook.

Are you telling me that I already took 50,000 dollars?

How many times must I repeat myself?

There's a receipt over there.

Exactly. I'm Lee Sam Sook,

but which Lee Sam Sook did you give this much money?

You have to explain yourself better, so I can understand you.

Excuse me, sir.

Are you certain that Lee Sam Sook took this money?

Seriously. If I hadn't given her the money,

how would I have this lease contract in my hands?

She came to my office two days ago,

informed me she wouldn't renew the lease, and took the money.

She gave me the contract.

Then please give us a description of her.

Description of her?

She wore glasses.

She had her hair up.

She had a nasal voice. She was a bit chubby.

My goodness, the owner of the house lives abroad.

I can't go all the way there.

I'm really going to move out.

I'd be grateful if you can give me an advance of 50,000 dollars.

Well, that's not how we do things.

Without that money,

my husband can't get his surgery...

and leave this world. I should just die.

As for the balance, we must check that you moved out.

- That's when we can give you... - Gosh, stop it.

Can you help me and make this work? You'll be saving my husband.

I won't forget your favor for the rest of my life.

Please?

It's Joo Ah.

What?

That brat, Joo Ah, pretended to be you,

lied to him, and lost all of your family's fortune.

- Darn that girl, Im Joo Ah. - Moving day?

Moving day?

Is someone moving tomorrow?

Is that so?

I'm not sure.

I can make do for 2 or 3 days,

but I can't allow longer than that.

No, no longer than that.

Okay. I understand.

My goodness.

Is there something wrong?

Yes, I guess the house I was supposed to move into has a problem.

They can't move out today.

Then you can't move in there tomorrow?

I have a bit of breathing room since I arranged for wallpapers and floor.

I'll move in at a later date.

Why don't you stay with my family then?

You can sleep in my room.

No, I have the dojo.

I can manage to stay somewhere else for a few days.

What did you say? You're divorced?

Yes.

Over 100,000 people get divorced every year.

Why are you so surprised?

Even if over one million people get divorced every year,

I feel bad that it didn't work out for you.

Why? Are you heartbroken that...

it's been rough for me?

What? It's not that.

You used to be the legendary Lee Hyo Lee of Segeomjeong.

I thought you would have a great life.

Look at this cutie pie.

You just know what to say, don't you?

Stop that.

We didn't get to go to Ulleung Island.

Want to go to Ganghwa Island and do everything we wanted to?

Ganghwa Island?

Yes, you said your strict manager didn't let you go on vacation,

so you didn't have a chance to go there.

No, I can't. I have to go to work.

You said your younger brother runs the office.

Can't you get out of it for a day?

I can't. I'm very diligent and hard-working.

Is that so? So you won't go, right?

Hey, where are you going?

Hey, what are you doing? Hey!

Hey, hey. What are you doing in there?

Hey, hey. Don't start the truck!

I set up my kitchen. You can't start the engine now!

Darn it.

- Get out! - Will you go or kiss me?

Turn it off now.

Will you go to Ganghwa Island or live with me?

If you drive now, you'll blow up the gas!

Then I'm done for!

Will you go to Ganghwa Island or die with me?

Stop watching those darned dramas!

I'll go, so turn it off now.

- Really? - Goodness.

That's a promise, right?

The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.

What is he doing now? Why isn't he answering his phone?

The deposit is 90,000 dollars, and 40,000 dollars is the mortgage.

That nasty brat took 50,000 dollars for the downpayment and bolted.

That means I'm penniless.

We might have to live on the streets with nothing.

Calm down, Mom.

I'm worried that you might fall ill from all the stress.

I had no idea that my daughter, of all people, fooled me...

and rented out our place, so I deserve to fall ill.

I can't believe how stupid I am.

Where can I go with all this stuff now?

But thankfully, you have this salon.

If you really have nowhere to go,

you can set up a tent and stay here for the time being.

Try to cheer up, please.

I'll work harder, okay?

- Hello. - Hello.

Ms. Im Joo Ah works at this hair salon, right?

Yes, she does.

How do you know Joo Ah?

How could we not know her? She borrowed a lot of money from us.

Money?

You lent her money?

- Yes, 13,000 dollars. - 13, 000 dollars?

- 13, 000 dollars? - 13, 000 dollars?

What on earth are you talking about now?

My gosh, don't be alarmed. We're not bad people.

- Have a seat. Let's sit down. - This happens from time to time.

Oh, boy.

I'll briefly explain what happened.

She initially borrowed 9,000 dollars from us,

but it became 13,000 dollars...

because the interest snowballed. How unfortunate.

The interest gets compounded nonstop.

How did this happen?

Have a look.

(Creditor: Park Sang Tae, Debtor: Im Joo Ah)

My goodness. Gosh, I want to just die.

Please don't die.

Times have changed, so even people like us...

no longer vandalize properties to get our money.

But this woman, Im Joo Ah, has fallen off the face of the earth.

Well, what is the interest rate?

How could 9,000 dollars become 13,000 dollars?

You know that it can't be higher than the maximum legal rate, right?

Oh, my. We have a smarty-pants here.

This is considered...

an unlawful debt collection practice.

For the 5,000 dollars she borrowed from us at first,

we did follow the legal interest rate.

But the thing is, that woman...

agreed on a 600-percent interest rate.

Ta-da. She signed this off...

and borrowed 4,000 dollars more from us.

- I bet you weren't expecting this. - My gosh, Ms. Lee.

(Debtor Memorandum, Debtor: Im Joo Ah)

Memorandums that aren't notarized are considered null and void.

This hasn't been notarized.

- We didn't get it notarized? - No, we didn't.

I told you to do it, you idiot!

- Why did you slap me? - It has to be notarized...

Gosh.

Fraud. Let's frame it as fraud.

If that's the case,

we'll put her behind bars for fraud.

What are you talking about?

You'll put her behind bars for fraud? No, you can't do that.

Why can't we do that? Then just sell your house...

or this space and pay us back.

Why must we go on about this?

They're not getting it. Let's do it the old way.

- Shall we... - No!

No, please!

Please calm down. Let's talk this through.

Hey, your eyes... You have such sad eyes.

What do you want us to do?

We can talk this through.

Do you have to hold me this tight? Move your behind.

Gosh, you're too compassionate.

Well, how can someone who writes children's stories...

plagiarize someone else's work?

But this is better than finding out about it after the production phase.

I'm just worried about the deadline.

I mean, Christmas is right around the corner.

Our Design Team is working on new designs, so let's wait.

(Go Yoon Kyung)

- Hello? - My dad is in critical condition.

- What? - Come to the hospital. Hurry.

Wait, hello?

What's going on now?

Chairman Go is in critical condition.

In critical condition?

You mean he might pass away?

I have to go.

The PR manager will be here soon. Prepare a press release.

- I'm off. - Okay.

That woman, Go Yoon Kyung... What a good timing.

- Jin Yoo. - Where's Chairman Go?

- Thanks for coming. - Is his condition serious?

Is he alone in the ICU? Where's his doctor?

Now, you're back to your old self.

My dad is okay. Nothing happened.

What?

You would've never visited if I hadn't done this.

I know that you have no hard feelings against my dad.

Are you kidding me right now?

Let's go in. He'll be so happy to see you.

What are you doing now?

You threatened me to let you meet Gi Ppeum,

and you even lied about your father's condition?

So you should've just kept your promise.

Don't you think there could've been a reason why I couldn't?

You came anyway. It means you were able to come.

It's my fault for thinking that I could get through to you.

Why do you have to be like this?

Why must you be such a downer?

I came here...

only because I wanted to...

do my last duty for someone who was once my father-in-law.

Don't think that it means anything else.

Can't you just do as I say so that my dad can be more at ease?

I already told him that we're getting back together.

Of course you did.

I'm sure Goyeong Corporation needs the son of the Hansoo Group family.

- Jin Yoo. - You sort it out on your own.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you.

Hear me out. You got the wrong idea.

I asked you to meet up to tell you this.

And I won't have to meet you again after this.

Will you really keep this up?

I asked you to hear me out.

Jin Yoo!

I was wondering why my life has to be so complicated.

That's why I twisted these chains on the swing.

Sometimes, we have no one to vent to about our problems.

Whenever I feel that way, I twist the chains on the swing...

and let them go. It makes me feel better.

"How twisted can it get?"

"I can sort it out if I work on solving the problem."

I keep telling myself that...

while I twist the chains and let them go.

Then I twist them and let them go over and over again.

Hey, Im Joo Ah!

You wench!

Hey, how could you... Gosh, you.

My gosh.

You'll catch a cold. Take this umbrella at least.

You'll catch a cold.

Take this umbrella.

Wait!

I just remembered.

It's you, isn't it?

Choi Jin Yoo from the freshman class of 1999.
