[Dad]

I'm sure we will find a donor.

- Ji Min. - I can't send our Woo Joo away.

I can't send her away like this.

Ji Min,

look at me.

I will do it.

I'm a viable candidate.

Our Woo Joo,

I will save her.

Save?

[Lie After Lie]

Woo Joo, have some peach!

Here.

But where did your dad go to?

- Aunt, I — - Ya?

Am I dying?

Hey, why would you die?

Then why am I still in the hospital?

That's what I also asked your dad,

and he said they're taking this opportunity for you to have a thorough exam.

Why? Did someone say something?

No.

They said I'm a viable candidate. Of course,

I'm not legally her family member

so even if I'm a match, apparently I can't be a donor right away.

But there is a solution.

If it can be confirmed that I am her biological mother,

then they can do the surgery.

Then we

can save Woo Joo.

But what about you?

Didn't you hear how dangerous this surgery is?

How can I let you have the surgery?

We've put Woo Joo on the transplant list, so let's just wait.

- Perhaps they will find a donor sooner than we think— - Woo Joo doesn't have time.

I know what you're worried about.

But I...

I will save Woo Joo.

And I will make sure

to survive as well.

Why wasn't I a match instead of you?

Ji Min.

You know, /i>

the moment I heard I was a viable candidate for Woo Joo,

you have no idea how thankful I was.

For hanging on and staying alive all this time,

it felt like a gift from Heaven.

That gift,

in order to be able to give that gift to Woo Joo

I need your help.

Oh, Oppa.

Go.

What's with him?

- I'm back. - Oh

How is Woo Joo doing? When can she be discharged?

I don't know, Oppa wouldn't talk to me.

- Why not? - If someone else saw him,

they would think Woo Joo is very ill or something.

This won't do. Let's close the restaurant tomorrow and go to the hospital.

That's right, let's do that.

Another I, Artist Kim Hyang Gi

Kim Hyang Gi?

It could be a new name to you.

If you have no interest in art.

Ah, yes.

Who is that?

Perhaps it was about three years ago?

A rookie artist whose popularity rose like a comet due to Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran's enthusiastic support.

- She's also famous for no one having ever seen her face. - So what about her?

Well, no one else was ever interested in her work before.

But only D.O Art Center kept buying her pieces.

Thanks to that, Kim Hyang Gi's work rose greatly in value.

After all, her work recently sold for 2 billion wons.

And Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran must be the one who bought it?

You are correct.

So the rumor from last year that you spoke of... ?

Well, there were always rumors that there was some strange relationship between those two people.

But no one knew any facts

until last year. Someone was an eye witness.

Apparently Kim Ho Ran disappears to Namyang-ju frequently.

And that Kim Hyang Gi's studio

is located in that area. - In Namyang-ju?

[Hyang]

An ethics commission?

Yes, Ji Eun Soo was found to be a viable candidate after examination.

But she is not legally the patient's mother, so they will open an ethics commission

to determine whether they will do the transplant or not.

So they'll try to save the child?

These are her medication for this morning. Her blood pressure is not being well regulated

so there is one more medication for blood pressure.

Ah, yes, thank you.

Woo Joo,

let's take medicine, huh?

I don't want to.

Why not, all of a sudden?

Just because.

Are you hurting anywhere?

You don't have a fever.

You don't feel well today?

Then should we take your medication later when you feel better?

[Horim University Hospital]

- Hello? - Hello, I'm calling from the ethics commission team.

- Ah, yes. - I wanted to inform you that the ethics commission hearing has been scheduled for 5 pm this Saturday.

- This Saturday? - Yes.

Thank you. I am really grateful to you.

Of course, we have a much bigger hurdle to overcome.

We have to figure out how to get a positive result on the ethics hearing.

Not only is it a surgery in which the donor is at high risk of danger,

but although genetic testing has confirmed that you are the biological mother,

since you did not raise her yourself...

You will have to prove that there are no strings attached to your agreeing to be a donor.

- Then... - For example,

if you have any items or photos of the child that you've kept

and if there are any witnesses, that will help.

I will do whatever I can.

[Radiology Center]

Eun Soo?

Have you been well, Director?

Thanks to you. I know that you've made such generous donations to our hospital

so we are ever grateful to you.

No need to thank me.

I just always want medical professionals to work

in a better environment, that is all.

You are not ill anywhere, are you?

No, I've been wanting to visit you

and I had something to ask you about, as well.

A question for me?

An ethics commission hearing about a lung transplant from a living donor

will be held at this hospital, I heard.

How did you know...?

That patient is my granddaughter.

What?

Then the person who offered to be the donor...?

Yes, she is my former daughter-in-law.

So I hear that the surgery for my granddaughter

is a very risky surgery?

Yes.

Hospital Director, no matter what,

that child must live.

You must already know that she is my only remaining blood relative.

So I must make sure nothing bad happens to her.

Please don't worry. We will do our very best

to make sure the top medical team will perform the surgery— - The truth is

I wanted to speak to you about this.

Did your consultation with the doctor go well?

Yes.

She told me that the ethics commission hearing was scheduled.

Yes, I was told about it, too.

You didn't get any sleep?

My face is a bit swollen, huh?

Not just a bit. It's very swollen, actually.

Where did the handsome Ji Min I knew go?

You look better now that you are smiling.

I like this little dimple you have here, when you smile.

So look at me and smile more, please.

Did you eat yet?

Yes. I ate two bowls, actually.

I have to eat well to be ready for surgery.

How is Woo Joo?

My family is here.

Oppa! Hurry and come!

Woo Joo is really upset!

Baby...

I want to go! I will go home!

- Oh my baby... - Why are you being this way today?

Grandpa, I hate being in the hospital.

Grandma, I want to go home.

Honey, please get her coat, hurry.

Baby, let's go home with Grandma, okay?

Let's go, let's go.

What's going on?

Looks like's she's been having a hard time.

Come on, put your jacket on.

Let's go.

Mom, you can't.

Even a healthy child could get sick in here.

How hard this must be for her, that she's acting like this?

- Woo Joo, get back into bed. - I don't want to.

Will you keep disobeying me? Dad will get angry.

No! No! I will go home!

You, really...

I'm going to die anyway!

Isn't that why you cried all night long?

That's why you hid and cried outside my door!

What? What is she talking about?

Ji Min, what is she saying?

Oppa, please say something.

I'll speak to her.

Let me speak with Woo Joo.

Huh?

I request this of you, please.

Everyone, please come to speak with me.

Who said that? That you will die?

What you are thinking of will never happen.

Teacher will save you for sure.

Who are you to do that? Why would do that?

The doctors said I can help you get treated.

I don't need it. Who said I want your help, anyway?

I have a large regret imbedded in my heart.

My daughter was sick when she was young, too.

But I couldn't help her

and it's become a deep regret for me, right here.

Now that my beloved Woo Joo is sick,

I can't just stand and watch.

So Woo Joo, accept Teacher's heart, please.

Return to the Woo Joo you were before

and have fun with your friends

and draw the pictures that you love.

So that you can live happily with your dad, I'll help you.

If Woo Joo can live a healthy life,

I will be so happy.

I gave Woo Joo her medicine and put her to sleep, please don't worry.

Ji Min?

It's alright, so please tell us.

Yes, Ji Min.

This is what family is for.

So tell us.

Woo Joo

is very sick.

Where? How much?

Her lungs.

She has to receive a transplant to live, they said.

What to do?

What do we do for our Woo Joo?

What do you mean? Didn't you just hear?

She can live if she gets a transplant.

So what do we have to do?

What are you saying? She's my granddaughter, I'll do it.

Eun Soo will be the transplant donor.

Instead of me,

Eun Soo is a viable donor, the doctors said.

Is... that— How can she?

She...

gave birth to Woo Joo.

Don't be afraid.

Mom will protect you.

Yeon Joon.

Noona.

I went to the hospital to visit Woo Joo

and saw that they sell this in front of the hospital.

You loved walnut cakes when you were young.

I came to thank you.

I know it's useless to ask you this,

but there's no way I can stop you, is there?

Alright.

Do what you want to, Noona.

But anyone who interferes with you,

I will block them all for you.

What does that mean?

Yeon Joon, I'll be going now.

What are you talking about?

"Do what you want to?"

That there are no strings attached to your agreeing to be a donor,

you will have to prove that.

If you have any items or photos of the child that you've kept,

and if there are any witnesses, that will help.

Woo Joo, I'll make sure you can have the surgery.

[Blood Sample: Kim Ho Ran]

Oh Reporter Kang, why did a new groom lose so much weight?

Aren't you making it too obvious that you are in your honeymoon period?

- Congratulations, Reporter Kang. - Congratulations.

- Seonbae. - How is Woo Joo, is she alright?

She's fine.

Ji Min?

You should have stayed at the hospital. Why did you come to work?

Station Chief. Here.

What is this?

[Supreme Court]

I promise you.

That I am really not that kind of person.

I will stake everything I have

and prove it to you, Woo Joo.

[Records Storage Room]

[Autopsy Report]

[Knife wound in upper torso] [Knife wound in back]

[Line Officetel]

You're not going to stab me? Do it.

Stab me, I said! Stab me!

A man?

I can't be sure. But I remember

seeing a man's shoe.

Why did you go there?

I didn't want to avoid it.

And what '6049' meant,

I thought maybe I might remember something about it.

Next time, go with me.

I'll be by your side to support you.

You must not be at the hospital.

I stopped by the office briefly.

Woo Joo is with my mom.

She prefers to be with her grandparents than me for now.

Grandma.

Yes, what is it?

Do I have to get surgery?

Yes.

You have a hard time breathing and feel weak.

They said you will be all fixed if you get surgery.

But why

do I need Teacher's help?

Huh?

Well, about that...

to make you better

they have to put a part of a healthy lung on your lung.

But not anyone can do that.

It has to match

and... Teacher matches you, they said.

I don't want to receive it from Teacher.

Do you still hate Teacher that much?

Yes, I know how you feel.

But Baby,

Teacher,

for your sake

offered to go on the operating table for you.

Something like that,

people can't do unless they love you very much.

Do you understand?

Hello? What?

Welcome.

You are Patient Kang Woo Joo's guardian?

Yes. But what is this, all of a sudden?

The ethics commission hearing has been canceled?

Please have a seat first.

About that, the transplant from a living donor is not an easy surgery.

And a transplant from only one donor

is something that's never been done in our nation.

So we've determined that it's too risky

and our hospital decided to not do this surgery.

I'm sure that other hospitals will come to the same conclusion.

But think about how lucky you are.

I congratulate you.

[D.O Cosmetics]

I've examined all the cars registered in this nation with '6049' in the license plate, but none were related to Yoon Sang Kyu.

Keep looking, even if you have to invade Ji Eun Soo's home.

Yes, I understand.

But what do you plan to do with the child, may I ask?

Chairwoman? Reporter Kang Ji Min is here to see you.

Ask him to come in.

Have a seat.

I'm sorry to hear about your child.

Regarding what you requested from the hospital director, what are your intentions?

It's just as you heard.

She can receive surgery from the best expert for lung transplants in Japan.

He has more experience than any doctor in Korea, and moreover,

there will be two donors, which is much safer.

Everything is already prepared.

All that is left is for you to make your decision, Kang Ji Min.

So you expect me to trust you?

It's the only way you can protect both of the two people you love.

How dare you lie to me again?

Watch your mouth, Reporter Kang Ji Min.

I may hate Ji Eun Soo to death, but that's just her. I don't hate my granddaughter.

That child is my bloodline.

And my only blood relative left.

I just need Ji Eun Soo to be gone.

Just send Ji Eun Soo away.

If you would only do that, I will make sure your daughter can live.

Is this what you wanted?

Yes.

Rather awful, aren't I?

No matter how much time has passed, I haven't taken a single step out of that moment in which my son died.

Until the moment I die, I cannot let go of my resentment and loathing of Ji Eun Soo.

However, the anger I had towards that child,

I regret it now.

I want to save her, too.

So,

you will really help my daughter have surgery?

Her survival is now in your hands.

No matter what decision I make,

if you are lying to me right now,

I will kill you with my own hands.

I will stake everything I have to promise you that I'm not lying.

What is it?

I heard

that you will be a lung donor for Woo Joo.

What about it?

What a relief.

I'm sure Ji Min would have done it, if he was a match. But I'm glad you're the one who matched.

So, what is it that you want to say?

You suck.

What did you say?

Why are you always a step ahead of me?

Why do you always make me feel inferior to you?

That sounds like you would agree to be the donor if you were a match.

Why? Do you think I can't do it?

You don't know

how much I wanted to return to him.

How much

I had lost.

Yeon Joon,

Se Mi seems very drunk. Can you take her home?

Woo Joo, please help her live.

If something bad happens to her,

then I won't even have a chance to receive forgiveness from her.

So please save her.

Her survival is now in your hands.

It's the only way you can protect both of the two people you love.

How nice to play a round, it's been a while for me.

We've had some bad moments, haven't we?

Did we?

You must have been so unhappy with me that you even met with the CEO of a competitor's company.

CEO Lee, you mean?

She wanted to see me so much, and I just wanted to manage my personal connections, that is all.

Well, that makes me a bit sad.

We just have to make sure that you and I enjoy more times like this,

just like today.

I apologize. May I use the restroom?

It's that way.

Careful.

Yes, sir.

That costs 2 billion won.

Go.

What are you doing here?

Where is the bathroom?

Please leave now.

Hold on.

Can I look at your cell phone, please?

[No videos or photos]

[No albums]

[No shared albums]

[No shared albums]

Oh!

Ms. Bakery owner? What brings you here?

I heard Woo Joo was sick

so I thought I might bring her some pastries.

Oh, goodness, how thankful.

Where is Woo Joo's dad?

He left briefly to do something.

Did you have something to tell my oppa?

Well, I heard about the wedding.

Oh, I see. All kinds of things can happen in this world, I guess.

So is their relationship completely over?

No, those two have no intention of breaking up.

I see.

How could he break up with the person who is offering to save his daughter?

What does that mean?

Who is Eun Soo saving?

Let's do this.

Ji Min? We agreed to meet at the hospital. You didn't have to come all the way here.

You don't have to go to the hospital.

What do you mean?

The ethics commission hearing has been canceled.

Why?

The hospital decided that they can't do this surgery because it is too risky.

Then we should go to another hospital.

Kim Ho Ran offered to save Woo Joo.

What did you say?

She even looked into expert doctors abroad.

Do you actually trust her?

No.

But I want to hold onto even a shred of hope.

I have to save Woo Joo somehow.

So?

Let's break up.

I know it will be hard right now, but when time passes, you will know

that to save Woo Joo

and to make sure you don't get hurt, this was the best possible decision.

So, was this

her condition?

I'm sorry.

[No Parking]

[D.O Cosmetics] [CEO Kim Ho Ran]

The two appear to have broken up.

Do you really intend to save Kang Woo Joo's life?

[Reporter Kang Ji Min]

Go ahead.

I ended things with her, just as you wanted.

I can trust you on that? I really hate being lied to.

You must keep your promise to me.

I'll send you the plane tickets when the travel arrangements are made.

[Apartment 2]

I struggled for a very long time.

Then I met you, Woo Joo.

Those days we spent together felt like a dream

and I was so happy.

So I will promise you, that I am not that kind of person.

I will stake everything I have to prove that to you, Woo Joo.

I will make sure to keep this promise to you.

Who are you?

Please reopen the ethics commission, Director.

I've already finished this matter with the patient's father.

Kim Ho Ran is the one who blocked this, isn't she?

She's not trying to block anything, she is trying to help.

She gave the child a good chance to have surgery at a better place in a more safe way.

That is a lie.

That woman is interfering with me trying to save my child's life.

How can you speak such nonsense?

Please don't accuse people of such things without evidence.

I have evidence!

I have evidence.

I just need Ji Eun Soo to be gone.

Just send Ji Eun Soo away.

So you expect me to trust you?

It's the only way you can protect both of the two people you love.

Do you actually trust her?

Let's break up.

I know it will be hard right now, but when time passes, you will know

that to save Woo Joo, and to make sure you don't get hurt, this was the best possible decision.

Chairwoman, we heard that you are doing some more good deeds this time.

Please explain some more.

How did you all know about this again? I was trying to do this quietly.

But what brings you to help someone again?

I heard about a poor child's plight through a hospital director that I'm close to.

She is dying and needs a lung transplant, so how could I ignore it?

I just hope that all the children in this world can grow up without suffering.

I wanted to make a small contribution, that is all.

Then, excuse us.

Why aren't they here yet?

[Reporter Kang Ji Min]

It's Reporter Kang Ji Min.

Where are you? The flight will leave soon.

I guess you haven't heard yet? Woo Joo and I no longer need to go.

What do you mean?

The ethics commission will reopen now.

What did you say... !?

I thought it was already canceled.

Isn't that why I agreed to help you?

I think you're the one who needs help right now, Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.

- Breaking news. - What is that?

We've obtained photo evidence of D.O Cosmetics Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran's suspected slush fund activities.

Reporter Park Yeong Jun will give you the exclusive report.

What you are seeing on the screen is a storage room that belongs to Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran.

As you can see, until very recently

this is where Artist Kim Hyang Gi's works were left in a neglected state.

These work with an asking price of 1 billion won per piece ,

don't appear to have been collected here out of a simple love for these artworks.

The suspicion that Kim Ho Ran is using Kim Hyang Gi's works to build up a slush fund,

this appears to provide plenty of circumstantial evidence. - Chairwoman, what is this about?

Why did you leave the artwork that you paid so much for at a place like this?

Did you purchase Kim Hyang Gi's artworks for the purpose of building a slush fund?

Chairwoman, please tell us.

- Chairwoman. - Chairwoman, what is going on?

Please give us a comment.

Chairwoman?

Well, there were always rumors that there was some strange relationship between those two people.

Last year there was an eye witness.

That Kim Ho Ran disappears to Namyang-ju frequently.

And that Kim Hyang Gi's studio is located in that area.

In Namyang-ju?

Here.

What is this?

Really? Got it.

Reporter Park found out that

Kim Ho Ran owns a villa in Namyang-ju.

That must be the place.

Reporter Kang Ji Min's prediction was correct.

You must have another device that isn't your cell phone.

[Hyang]

[Hyang]

What are you doing here?

So?

Let's break up.

Eun Soo, how about we do some acting?

This ethics commission hearing will begin now.

Unni.

Who are you?

I... 10 years ago,

Ji Eun Soo... I was in prison together with her.

And?

How devoted Eun Soo was to her child,

how much she tried to raise her child herself,

and how much she longed for her child after sending her away,

I came to testify to what I saw.

Yes, sounds good. Please take a seat.

Then we will begin to hear statements about the subject in question now.

I am Kang Woo Joo's mom,

Ji Eun Soo.

But she doesn't have a job, can we be sure that she isn't being compensated in some way?

The fact that she kept her baby clothes all this time indicates her sincerity to me.

We will announce the results of this ethics committee hearing.

As the living donor for Patient Kang Woo Joo's lung transplant

Ji Eun Soo, you have been approved.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you.

How dare you?

What are you all doing?

You will dare to operate on my granddaughter without my permission?

Aren't you all too fearless?

What if something happens to my granddaughter? Can you all accept responsibility for that?

Ji Eun Soo, let me say this clearly. Things will not turn out the way you want.

I will never let my granddaughter have surgery here!

Do you think you have the right to say that?

Do you understand now?

Why you don't have any right?

You were so obsessed with bloodlines. But you don't share a drop of blood with my daughter.

So was this it?

The thing you wanted to hide so much?

Or is there something else you are hiding?

Even if you say you will back off now, I intend to keep going until the very end.

It's the police.

Everyone, please come quietly.

Don't push, please.

What the hell?

- What's going on? - Hey, hey.

Be quiet, and get in the car now.

Hurry and get in.

Damn it...

Who are you?

We have a warrant for search and seizure.

You are making a very big mistake.

We will find out if that is true after the investigation.

Ji Eun Soo, sorry, but the thing you want won't happen. Let's talk after your child's surgery.

- What if something happens to you? - I promised Ji Min, that I will save Woo Joo and make sure to survive, too.

My Woo Joo, we will wake up together every morning, and go to sleep together every night.

In order to do that, I must...

I have something to tell you about that incident 10 years ago.

Detective Kwon.

Oh, Reporter Kang. That's it, isn't it? He is called Chief Hwan.

Isn't it really strange that you never once suspected that someone else might have killed your son instead of me?

Shut your mouth!

- You're just lying that you didn't do it. - It's not that you just want me to be the killer?

What's wrong?

What is this watch?

It's the watch that the killer was definitely wearing that day.

It was this?

I will make sure to keep the promise I made to Woo Joo, that I will become her innocent mom.

So you put on a show, huh?

Chairwoman Kim Ho Ran, this is only the beginning.

♫ And now, my heart ♫
