How could you do such a thing?

What?

- What did I do? - How could you...

ask for money in return for raising your child?

I know she's adopted,

but you are her foster mother.

How could you do that?

Mr. Kang.

How could her mother, of all people, do that?

Just put yourself in Ms. Kim's shoes.

Director Wang's parents...

barely approved their marriage.

Don't you even care about Ms. Kim?

Hey.

What do you think you are? Why do you push me around?

Are you my husband or what?

You're just a driver. How dare you yell at me?

Whether I ask for money or not,

whether I try to sell off my daughter or not,

Why does it matter to you? Who do you think you are?

- Me? - Yes, you!

Tell me. Who do you think you are?

I'm...

I'm...

Mr. Kang.

Mom.

What is this about?

Mr. Kang.

Tell me...

what this is about.

Mom.

What do you mean, the price for raising me?

Don't tell me...

you demanded money from Ms. Oh.

Well, Ms. Kim. That's...

What's wrong with it? Can't I demand money?

I put my effort in feeding you,

dressing you, and raising you.

I won't marry you off for free.

Plus, that family is rich.

They can afford to pay me.

Did I say something wrong?

Ma'am, you really shouldn't do this.

My goodness. What do you think you are?

Who are you to stick your nose into this?

Who are you to Do Ran that you're stepping in?

Tell me. Who are you to her?

Mom.

Mr. Kang, please leave for now.

I'll call you later.

- Gosh. - Let's go in first.

My gosh, I can't believe this.

Gosh, seriously.

Mom.

Did you really say that to Ms. Oh?

Tell me you didn't.

He's mistaken, right?

It's not true, right?

Come on.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Mom.

You didn't...

say that to her, right?

Why aren't you denying it?

I did.

I told her to pay me for raising you.

What about it?

You really said that to her?

How could you?

How could you do such a thing?

What do you mean?

Watch what you say to your mom.

I raised you...

despite our financial condition.

Were you going to...

turn a blind eye on me and Mi Ran...

and enjoy all the luxury in that palace-like house?

Mom.

Listen carefully.

If you're going to marry him,

find a place for us to live.

Or take us with you.

Otherwise, I'll never approve of this marriage.

Do you understand?

Even Mr. Kang is concerned about me.

How could you do this to me as my mom?

Okay, I won't marry him.

I won't marry him, satisfied?

What?

All right, don't marry him.

Right, don't marry him...

and support me and Mi Ran all your life.

Okay?

Goodness.

How could she do this to me?

I'm sorry, Do Ran.

It's all my fault.

It's all because you have a terrible father.

I can't believe...

she told you to pay for raising her daughter.

You build more affection from raising your child.

What kind of mother is she?

Are you exaggerating this by any chance?

What are you talking about?

You think I'm lying or something?

I'm just asking because it's too outrageous.

But I can't believe she demanded...

the average cost of child rearing in 2017.

Mom, did she really say that?

She really did.

Are you suspecting me?

You all can't believe, can you?

If you can't believe me,

go ahead and talk with that woman yourself.

I've never heard any of it even in dramas either.

Mother. Honey. We must stop this marriage.

Aside from everything else,

she doesn't know whom her real parents are.

I can't approve of this marriage.

I'm home.

Dae Ryook, come have a seat.

What is this about?

Did something happen again?

You should reconsider...

your marriage with Ms. Kim.

It's all decided, so why are you like this again?

Did something happen...

with Do Ran's mother today?

Don't be surprised.

Her mother isn't her real parent.

She's an adopted child.

I'm already aware of that.

What? You knew about it?

Really?

Yes, I heard it directly from Do Ran.

She recently told me...

her late father raised her like a real child.

So you want to marry her...

even when you know about all that?

Yes, is there any problem with it?

Of course, there is.

Mother. Honey.

Say something!

I get that you're crazy in love with her,

but how could you think of marrying an orphan?

Besides, you know what her mother told me?

She wants us to pay her for raising Ms. Kim...

if we want to take her in as our family.

Don't be ridiculous.

No matter how much you hate her,

you shouldn't be like this.

I'll go upstairs.

Look at him, hey! Hey!

She really said that to me.

Your girlfriend's mom actually said that to me.

It wasn't me who said that!

What am I supposed to do with him?

I'll go talk with Ms. Kim's mother tomorrow.

We aren't going to be in-laws with her,

so there's no need for you to see her.

Dae Ryook is resolute like that, so what can we do?

Plus, we never considered Ms. Kim's family anyway.

We approved their marriage because we liked her.

But this is beyond understanding.

She was raised from such a lousy family,

and I'll never have her as my daughter-in-law.

Dae Ryook, we need to talk.

I don't want to talk anything more...

about the marriage with you.

Dae Ryook.

There's always a reason...

when the elders are against your marriage.

Her family background is important...

because marriage isn't just about you two.

Marrying a wrong person will lead to problems.

When that happens, you and Ms. Kim...

will be left with great pain.

You must be blinded...

by love right now.

But she isn't the one for you.

Is it because she's an adopted child?

Or is it because...

her mother asked for money like you said?

Well, right.

Are you okay with it?

You don't know what family she's from, so how...

What does that matter...

when I love her?

I know what kind of person she is,

how hard she has been living,

and how good-natured she is.

I know it all, so what do I need more?

She lost her real parents when she was a baby,

but that's not her fault.

I'm disappointed in you.

How could you...

I'll pay her...

if her mother demands money for raising her.

You've completely gone out of your mind.

How could you be so mean to your mom?

You don't care about me at all?

You don't care about how I feel?

After all I did to raise you.

You mean so much to me,

so how could you betray me like this?

You betrayer...

Mom...

I can't believe this.

Honey, calm down.

Dae Ryook said...

he'd pay Ms. Kim's mother if he were to marry her.

He doesn't care whether she's an adopted child.

He said he's disappointed in me...

for nitpicking at the fact that she was adopted.

He doesn't feel like my son.

I don't think he is.

Here.

Honey.

We were so happy...

when we gave birth to Dae Ryook.

Since he was little, he was healthy and smart.

He was good at playing soccer and the piano.

He was good at studying too.

I don't even wish she was from a rich family.

But we should know what family she's from.

Ms. Kim...

What if she's a daughter of a criminal?

What if her parents were evil?

Just the idea of it gives me the chills.

I'm so embarrassed that...

I can't even tell anyone about this.

How...

How am I to sit in a wedding hall...

with a woman who wants money for raising a child?

Honey, is this...

Is this really that bad of me?

Say something, honey.

Am I wrong?

It's so embarrassing.

Calm down now.

Sir.

Why are you out so late?

It's quite cold.

I was trying to cool off my headache.

Is it about Director Wang's marriage?

Ms. Kim was adopted,

so my wife is strongly against it.

I wonder why someone would abandon...

a pretty and kind girl like Ms. Kim.

I'm sure her parents had a hard time as well.

The problem is,

I don't know what her parents were like.

Sleep well, Mr. Kang.

Yes, sir.

I'm not Do Ran's father.

I don't even know who she is.

Rather than live as a murderer's daughter,

it'd be best if she lived as an orphan.

Do Ran did nothing wrong.

Do Ran is completely innocent.

Please accept...

my poor Do Ran.

Mom.

Even after I'm married,

I'll support you and Mi Ran...

by going to work...

and making money.

So please don't say such things again.

It really upset me.

You brat.

Why do you think I said that?

If you marry and move out,

Mi Ran and I will be left here alone.

I got scared and worried how we'd get by.

I didn't think I'd marry so soon.

But Mom.

I love Director Wang.

I don't want to leave him.

I want to marry Director Wang.

But if you do this,

what am I to do?

After your dad died,

I relied on you like I would a husband.

Thinking that you'll marry and leave us...

It's like the sky's falling down on us.

I'm scared.

How am I to live...

once you're married?

I'm sorry, Mom.

But even after I get married,

I will never forget...

you or Mi Ran.

So Mom.

Please let me go.

Honey.

Dong Chul.

Why did you die so early?

How am I to live now?

Mom.

My wife...

suffered a huge shock after meeting your mother.

The same goes for me too.

I apologize.

It won't happen again.

It's just another thing we need to solve.

What I want to know is...

what kind of people...

your birth parents were.

My birth parents?

Tell me all you know.

I apologize.

I also do not know...

what kind of people or who...

my birth parents were.

Okay.

All I know is that my late father...

brought me home and raised me.

Sorry for asking something so painful.

It's okay.

But it's something that we deem important.

Of course.

We're done. You can go.

Okay.

Bye.

Father. What did you talk about?

You should go and comfort her.

I shouldn't have mentioned her birth parents.

Did you mention her birth parents?

Director.

It's okay.

If you want to cry,

you can.

I only know...

the parents who raised me.

Until now, I thought the parents...

who raised me were my birth parents.

Others may speak ill of my mother,

but to me, she is...

the only mom I have.

I resent her so much,

but she's still my mom.

Do Ran.

The people who raised you are your parents.

I don't care who your birth parents are.

So don't cry.

It's okay.

Why is Madam Park meeting Do Ran's mother?

What if things get worse?

Madam Park.

Do you disapprove of Ms. Kim?

Why would I disapprove of her?

I owe her so much.

Why?

Are you afraid Dae Ryook and Ms. Kim...

will end up not getting married?

Yes.

If they were to break up over Ms. Kim's mother,

it would be heartbreaking.

That's why I'm going to see the woman.

You don't have to worry about that.

Madam Park.

Do you mean that?

Yes.

In return, you can't tell anyone that...

I came here today.

Eun Young can't find out.

Yes, ma'am.

I understand.

Are you in?

Is Ms. Kim's mother in?

Why did that man come back here?

Is he going to complain again?

What is it now?

Madam Park...

is here.

Who is here?

I'm Wang Dae Ryook's grandmother.

How do you do?

Oh, yes.

How do you do, ma'am?

What made you come all the way over here?

I heard you were unwell.

I'm in and out of consciousness.

But I'm just doing fine today.

I came here...

to ask you something about our children.

Okay. Please go ahead and ask.

My daughter-in-law says...

Ms. Kim was adopted.

Is it true that you are not her birth mother?

Yes.

It's not that I gave birth to her,

but I raised her since she was a newborn baby.

So it's true that I'm her mother.

Then as her mother,

you said you wouldn't marry her...

unless we pay for raising her.

Did you really say that?

Yes, I did.

I couldn't believe my ears.

In my whole life,

I've never seen a mother who asks...

for what went into raising her daughter.

Is it true...

that you won't marry your daughter...

unless we pay you for raising her?

I was just saying that.

It's not that I deposited the money with you.

I wouldn't force you to pay for that.

But as you can see,

this is how I live.

Do Ran is the breadwinner of our family.

And I depend on her for my livelihood.

If Do Ran gets married all of a sudden,

I don't even know how I'm going to support myself.

When I was seven months pregnant,

my late husband brought in Do Ran...

and asked me to raise her.

She's not my baby...

nor my husband's.

Though poor, we managed...

to send Do Ran to college.

I thought we were now making a decent living.

But she wants to get married all of a sudden.

I will just lose my livelihood.

I can't do anything but cry.

That's just what I meant...

when I talked to Ms. Oh.

I know it was a bit too much.

I'm sorry.

Is this enough...

for you to marry Do Ran...

to my grandson with no worries?

It's 300,000 dollars.

What? My gosh.

Please take this money...

and never ask my future granddaughter-in-law,

Do Ran for money...

and cause her trouble ever again.

Can you promise?

Of course.

If I had enough money to live on,

why would I give Do Ran a hard time?

Then...

please give me...

a written promise for that.

A written promise?

Madam Park, thank you. Please take care.

Goodbye.

Bye.

I can't believe this!

The money wouldn't go anywhere, would it?

1, 10, 100, 1,000...

This is really 300,000 dollars.

I really got 300,000 dollars.

Gosh, my heart is pounding.

300,000 dollars? Gosh.

Give them the money back right now.

- No. - If you take the money,

it will put Do Ran in an awkward position.

Just return the money.

No. I won't.

You just died leaving me alone.

Why are you telling me to return the money?

I will never do that.

No!

Mother, I'm home.

Aren't you busy now?

No. I went to the meeting of the association...

and was on my way back to the office.

Why? What's the matter?

I just met...

Ms. Kim's mother.

Did you...

Yes. I gave her money.

She really did live in a pitiful living condition.

I guess she really had to say such a thing.

I just gave her money...

to make Dae Ryook and Ms. Kim feel comfortable.

Okay. I'm glad you did.

Don't tell Eun Young about this though.

Only the three of us,

you, me, and Ms. Kim's mother know this.

Okay?

Yes. By the way,

we don't even know who her birth parents are.

I'm not sure if we can marry them.

A lotus flower blooms in mud.

Under a mother like that,

Ms. Kim grew up to be a decent person.

It means she's essentially a good girl.

I know.

It's her parents' fault for abandoning her,

not Ms. Kim's.

Exactly.

And Dae Ryook is...

unlikely to give up on her.

Let's stop giving them a hard time...

and set the wedding date.

Okay. Let's do that.

What?

Honey, when did you come home?

What are you two planning on...

without me?

We're not planning on anything.

We were just saying that we should...

marry Dae Ryook with a good grace.

He's right, Eun Young.

Now that they are getting married,

let's just approve of it with blessings.

If you keep opposing their marriage,

they will hold a grudge their whole lives.

I'm telling you again.

I will never approve of this marriage.

I'm sure he will regret it later.

Eun Young.

What use is it for us to oppose the marriage?

Dae Ryook wants to do it anyway.

Dae Ryook is not my son.

He's your grandson and your son.

So you two can take care of it.

I will stay out of it.

I can't believe this.

So they will approve of their marriage?

Mother, are you going out?

Yes. Ms. Cho.

- Yes. - Call Mr. Kang.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, it's me.

Me?

I'm making red bean soup for my friends.

Your mother-in-law is coming too.

She left home just now.

Just now?

Gosh, this will get soggy.

The rest are almost here.

Mom, I'm going out.

- Okay. - Mom.

Your dish is not the problem right now.

Things have turned upside down here again.

So Mother was arguing with...

Father and Grandmother just now until she left.

Why? What happened?

They already approved of Dae Ryook's marriage.

My gosh.

Something must've happened...

when Eun Young went to meet her in-law.

What? You know it right away.

You know what?

Ms. Kim's mother told Mother...

that she wouldn't marry her daughter...

unless we pay for raising her.

What? Ms. Kim's mother...

wouldn't marry her daughter...

unless your family pays for raising her?

That's ridiculous.

What kind of mother does that?

Are you sure she's her real mother?

You're amazing!

You always say the right things!

Mom. You know what?

Ms. Kim was adopted!

Adopted? Ms. Kim was?

Yes.

So Mother opposed of their marriage again.

But Grandmother and Father approved of it.

This is devastating Mother right now.

I feel so bad for Eun Young.

Hong Shil, what are you talking about?

The secretary...

who's dating Dae Ryook is adopted?

What? And her mother...

asked Eun Young to pay for raising her daughter?

How much?

Da Ya, I'll call you later. I'm hanging up.

How did you guys get in?

That's obvious.

Your son opened the door for us.

I see.

It's not going to take long, so stay put.

Yes, Ms. Oh.

It's no one else but Eun Young.

You think she'll let anyone marry her son?

I heard her mom also asked for money.

In my opinion, this marriage is already over.

This marriage is never going to happen.

But doesn't Madam Park need that secretary?

Then, won't Eun Young's husband allow her?

Although Eun Young won't want their marriage,

isn't he a very devoted son?

Hong Shil, what do you think?

I'll bet 50 dollars on the side that it won't happen.

Then, I'll bet 50 dollars on that it will.

What about you, Hong Shil?

That's enough.

Are you watching a basketball game or what?

Eun Young is about to faint.

You guys, I'm here. The door was opened.

Eun Young!

Have a seat, we were about to begin.

Okay.

Sorry, I'm late.

That's fine.

We thought you couldn't come.

What are you talking about?

We heard everything.

That Secretary Kim is...

a foster child?

My goodness, and her mom asked for money?

How much did she want?

Have you ever heard of anything like that?

What?

You are so tactless.

Don't you get it?

What I'm saying is...

that she is an awful person.

Got it?

I see.

Why, she's so terrible.

Hey! Is this some kind of a joke to you?

The fact that I'm about to become in-laws with...

that terrible lady entertains you?

No, that's not it.

We just feel sad for you.

Who did you hear that from?

Pardon?

Hong Shil.

Did Da Ya tell you?

And you told them?

No, Eun Young.

I didn't mean to...

Na Hong Shil.

Does Da Ya always report you about my family?

It makes sense for Da Ya. She's immature.

But aren't you supposed to...

teach her not to talk freely about our family?

I can't stand this.

Eun Young.

Have a seat.

That's right. Settle down.

Have some red bean soup.

It's been a while since you had her soup.

I don't want to hear it!

Isn't that Mr. Kang?

It's not even a volunteer day and I get to see him.

So lucky!

Hold on.

Who is this?

Guess who?

Hong Joo.

Ta-da.

Did I surprise you?

Wouldn't you be?

But, Mr. Kang.

We're not at a church, yet we run into each other...

without an appointment.

This is very great.

It's chilly out, go inside.

Really? I'm not feeling cold at all.

You seem bored, I'll entertain you.

I'm not bored at all.

Don't worry, and go inside.

I know you want me here, don't pretend otherwise.

What is that?

My, Mr. Kang.

This scarf looks good on you.

You look dandy.

Did you buy that?

You are fashionable.

No, this was a gift.

A gift?

Who gave it to you?

Why would you ask?

Was it a male?

Or a female?

What?

Mr. Kang.

Yes.

- Mr. Kang. - Yes, Ma'am.

- Let's go home, hurry. - Yes.

Eun Young, why are you leaving so soon?

Stay a bit more.

No, I'm leaving.

Why?

Who gave that scarf to Mr. Kang?

Guys don't give each other a gift like that.

It must be a lady.

Who could that be? Who gave that to him?

Who?
