(Episode 36)
Is she out of surgery?
How did it go?
Okay.
I'll be there right after I take care of something.
What happened to Ms. Baek?
I'm sorry, I'm...
Who is this again?
Shouldn't you remember my voice?
I'm Park Hwigyeong's ex-wife.
I'd like to see you.
Do you have time?
Right now?
I have an appointment right now.
I'll see you afterwards.
Where should I go to see you?
Yes, Ms. Baek.
Where are you?
Really?
It can't be helped.
You do that.
I'm sorry.
It's something I need to do now.
Yes. I'll call you back.
Goodbye.
Segwang,
take me to Nonhyeondong.
Leave.
A scumbag like you shouldn't be here,
so leave.
Tomorrow...
I'll come back here.
Who says you can?
If you show your shameless face here again,
you won't be able to walk out of here.
How dare that woman
take her anger out on my innocent son Taejun?
It's not like I knew this would happen.
Weren't they watching the girl?
How could they let this happen?
Why did you come here?
What do you think?
I'm here to see my baby,
so what's wrong with that?
Ms. Oh.
With that flashy handbag of yours,
trying carrying around a conscience, too.
What?
You took Saebyeol away
when I wasn't home?
You're accusing an innocent person.
What's wrong with a grandmother
taking her granddaughter out?
Ms. Oh!
To be frank,
Saebyeol is Taejun's blood.
Yang Malsuk and her family
aren't related to her at all.
Just leave.
If you don't want your hair pulled out,
you should leave.
You know what will happen
if my mom catches you here, don't you?
Oh!
Like mother, like daughter.
You and your mom are so...
So what?
Oh, what's all the noise...
Oh Manjeong, you!
It was an accident!
Children who are really active
trip and fall all the time
while they're playing!
Okay.
I'm taking you out of here.
Come with me.
What are you doing?
Let go of me!
I'm going to see Saebyeol.
Why in the world would you?
Come here. Hurry up.
Let go!
Keep it down.
We're in a hospital right now.
Come here.
Geumbong.
Why is Ms. Oh here?
Who knows?
Who knows what that evil woman is thinking?
What is it now?
I'm in no mood to put up with your nagging.
Hey, where's your mother?
Why would you ask for my mom?
I'm at your mother's chicken restaurant,
and I'm stuck here.
I can't leave without locking up.
What?
What are you doing there?
I came to get some chicken,
and your mother had to go look for Saebyeol,
so I offered to man the restaurant.
So where is your mother?
Jungdae, I'm sorry,
but can you stay there
until I find time to come over?
I'll explain everything to you then.
Hey! Lee Eunbong!
Hey! Hey!
I'm sorry,
but we can't serve you tonight.
What are you talking about?
We made a reservation three days ago.
The owner had an emergency at home, so...
Whatever.
So...
We should put some tables together.
Have a seat. Sit down.
Wait...
We're all starving,
so bring onion chicken for everyone.
Wait, but...
Good job today, guys.
Where are you going so late?
I have to go to the hospital.
She's out of surgery,
but she's still unconscious.
You think that
she'll wake up if you go there?
Forget it.
Don't create more worries for yourself.
Let me go. That's the right thing to do.
Your body needs rest, too.
Mom.
Who knows
what they'll do to you when you go there?
Didn't you hear the doctor say
that you need rest?
I'm begging you.
Forget about them,
and look after yourself first.
How could I?
I'm beside myself right now.
Did you push Saebyeol down the stairs?
She was going down by herself and slipped.
With fussy kids,
you can't prevent accidents
even if you watch them like a hawk.
Don't blame yourself,
and take care of your own body first.
I haven't seen that expression in a long time.
Was it about 30 years ago?
The day you broke up with Yunae and came to me,
you looked just like you do right now.
What are you talking about?
And another time was
when you took Nayeon to that orphanage.
You were drinking alone that night,
and you looked just like you do now.
Don't be silly.
I have enough problems already.
I'm just saying...
Feeling depressed,
even the littlest things bother me.
How is Sejin doing?
She wanted to go to the hospital,
but I begged her not to go.
I'm sure she's worried.
Of all times...
It happened when we took Saebyeol
behind Nayeon's back.
Accidents can't be predicted.
It was meant to happen.
You should've looked after the kid.
How could you leave a kid all alone
in an empty house?
An unfamiliar house, at that.
You weren't there.
Sejin was grabbing her stomach and screaming.
How could I think about Saebyeol
in that emergency situation?
Sejin is our daughter,
but you're more upset about Nayeon's daughter?
Saebyeol is only five years old.
She's fighting for her life
because of an accident that happened at our house.
Wouldn't any human being
feel responsible and worried?
I guess he feels the connection.
Is Park Hwigyeong that big of a catch?
Watching you
makes me want to get him back.
Have you heard the rumors about me?
I have a tendency to be violent.
I don't care if it's a man or a woman.
I'm scared, so I'll cut to the chase.
How much digging have you done on me?
I wasn't digging. I was researching.
I see.
But didn't Mr. Park tell you to stop?
To leave things alone?
He did.
But I'm still trying to decide.
To be honest, I want to find out why
he wants to hide the fact that he was innocent.
I called you over
to let you know exactly that.
Do you think he took the blame
out of love for me?
If you write about me,
Hwigyeong will never see you again.
What kind of nonsense is that?
(Yun Yeongsuk's bloody rise to Baekdo throne)
Read this and decide.
Hwigyeong became a homewrecker
to stop this from being printed.
I scared him a bit.
Should I read it for you?
Ms. Yun was a high school friend of Park's daughter,
and when her boyfriend was jailed for activist work,
she seduced Chairman Park,
pushing out his sick wife
and marrying him.
Now you get it?
Mr. Park Hwigyeong wanted to prevent
the ugly truth about his mother from coming out,
so he let me take advantage of him.
I had prepared that
in case of an emergency,
and it came in handy.
If you want to see Hwigyeong get hurt,
you can print the article you've been writing
about me.
I'm finished.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
For dumping Mr. Park Hwigyeong.
You made a mistake.
You dumped a man like Park Hwigyeong,
and that makes you the dumbest woman on earth.
But thanks to that, I got extremely lucky.
(The truth behind Park Hwigyeong's infidelity)
(Time to find out who was the villain)
(and who was the victim)
(Are you sure you want to delete this file?)
Oh, what a shock.
What is it now?
Want me to put a desk in here for you?
What?
Did I do something wrong?
Park Hwigyeong,
I really don't want to lose you.
Are you feeling feverish?
It's just that I've grown to like you so much.
The moment I opened my eyes this morning,
I ran over here
just to tell you that.
This was inconsiderate of me.
I was in the neighborhood,
and I just wanted to drop this off.
Maybe I should've called first.
It's okay.
Welcome.
I heard that you like tea.
It's green tea.
It's from my wife
to thank you for yesterday's dinner.
She didn't have to do this.
Thank you very much.
Is Mr. Park...
I'm sorry.
He just took his medicine, and he's taking a nap.
It's okay.
I'm sorry for dropping by
unannounced like this.
I'd better go.
Well...
Stay for a cup of tea.
Here you go.
It's chrysanthemum tea.
It's very aromatic.
It cleanses the blood
and helps reduce stress.
This is perfect for businessmen.
Right.
Had I known,
I would've made my husband drink it
when he was younger.
I'm afraid that he's sick
because of my ignorance.
But you've done your best.
I'm sure Mr. Park knows that already.
I'm really grateful
that you like Hwigyeong.
He is full of flaws.
The key to running a business
is having a good eye for people and products.
I'm sure Mr. Park feels the same way I do.
Mr. Park is a more proactive person than me,
so on top of having a good eye for people,
he's also a go-getter.
Fate is a mysterious thing.
I thought we'd never meet again,
but here we are, about to become family
through our children.
Nothing in the world is stronger or more amusing
than the ties between people.
(From Yeongsuk)
You're really something.
Your ties with her were severed 40 years ago,
but you managed to reconnect.
For almost 40 years,
I've been living with a shell of a man,
so don't you think it's too cruel?
The only mistake I ever made
was hiding the fact
that Dohui isn't our biological daughter.
That's all.
I was afraid.
I thought you'd leave me
if I told you
that our baby was stillborn.
Saebyeol,
your classmates went on a field trip today.
Your friends packed rice rolls
and went to an amusement park.
But that's okay.
When you wake up,
your granny, aunts, and mommy
will take you there.
But it has to happen this spring.
You have to wake up before spring arrives.
Okay?
Pinky promise.
Let me see Saebyeol for just a minute.
Go away.
I don't like seeing you.
Actually, having to see your face is awful.
It makes me shudder.
I don't care about that.
I'm Saebyeol's father.
What kind of father
does that to his daughter
just to marry someone else?
How can you call yourself her father?
Let me see her just for a second.
Go away.
Saebyeol is my daughter.
I won't fall for your tricks.
You're not taking Saebyeol away from me.
No one will.
This isn't Taejun's fault.
This is nobody's fault.
It was just an accident.
An accident?
If you hadn't taken Saebyeol away,
if Ms. Oh hadn't abducted Saebyeol,
she wouldn't be in there right now.
Watch what you say.
Nobody abducted anyone.
Let's just go.
Let go of me.
Why are you taking this kind of treatment?
Kang Taejun, what did you ever do wrong?
Why do you always let Nayeon lash out at you?
Stop it!
Come!
What are you doing? Let go.
Lee Nayeon.
Let's sort things out once and for all.
Fine. Go ahead.
Whatever happened, I'm sorry.
Even though it was an accident, I'm sorry.
But that's all.
It was Saebyeol's grandmother
who brought her to us.
She brought her to introduce her to us,
but something came up,
and she had to leave her with us.
I suddenly had pain in my abdomen,
so my mom had to take me to the emergency room,
and we ended up leaving Saebyeol behind.
That's all I know.
I don't know what happened after that.
Sure.
I'll believe you.
I'll believe that
you didn't add anything or lie about anything.
Because...
You're a mom carrying a baby inside you.
You're carrying a baby,
so I don't think that you would lie.
But this is enough.
I don't think Saebyeol wants to see you.
Let's go.
Let's just go.
What? Kang Taejun!
I just can't do it.
Holding the wedding under these circumstances
is not right.
Do you think marriage is a joke?
This engagement involves more than just us.
All our relatives, people in the industry,
and all my father's employees know,
so how can we cancel it?
I'm not suggesting we cancel it.
I want to postpone it.
Let's postpone it
until Saebyeol wakes up.
Yes, I understand how you feel.
I understand,
but we've sent out the wedding invitations.
So how can we postpone?
I won't do it.
Sejin!
Sejin, can you try to be more understanding?
I told you I understood!
But understanding and agreeing are different.
If we postpone,
my mom will cancel the whole wedding.
We may never be able to
get married.
Don't you know my mom?
Don't worry.
Saebyeol will wake up soon.
Her surgery went well.
She'll wake up in no time at all.
Eat.
You must eat so that you have the energy
to look after Saebyeol.
Okay. Let's eat.
I have to eat, so I'll have the strength
to look after Saebyeol.
You'll get a stomachache. Drink this.
How is Saebyeol doing?
Mom,
I don't want to eat any more.
Uh, okay.
Mom.
I'm sorry, but can you get me a cup of coffee?
Sure. I'll be back.
That must be your mother.
I met with Saebyeol's doctor.
He said the surgery went well.
Why are you here?
You were kind enough to send me to jail
for property damage and disturbance,
so what kindness are you going to show here?
What?
You came to see
if Saebyeol is okay?
Don't be so aggressive.
I came because I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
Along with your future son-in-law,
you and your daughter are taking turns
to make excuses for what happened? Or...
Are you here to check
whether Saebyeol is dead or not?
That was uncalled for.
Go away.
I don't want to see anyone in your family.
And don't ever come
near Saebyeol again.
Got it?
Don't worry about the hospital bill.
If Saebyeol doesn't wake up,
I'll make all of you pay for it.
Sejin's wedding?
Don't even dream about it.
I will stop that marriage.
I'll do everything in my power to stop it.
So don't you dare pay the hospital bill.
I'll come back.
You're going ahead with the wedding?
Yes.
I don't think we can postpone it.
We just can't.
Right.
Your pregnancy is going to start showing,
so you should get it over with.
Yes.
Saebyeol will wake up soon,
so don't worry too much.
Right?
Saebyeol takes after her mom,
so she's tough.
She'll get better in no time at all.
Of course.
If you have friends,
you can invite them to the wedding.
Friends?
My friends?
Oh, my legs.
Mom. Mom!
What's all this fuss about?
I'm too exhausted for this.
Look at this. Look.
What is it?
What the heck is this?
Ms. Oh has been giving out wedding invitations.
What?
The beauty salon lady
dropped by your restaurant just now,
and she said Ms. Oh gave her this, saying her son
is marrying a rich girl.
She's handing out wedding invitations
after putting Saebyeol in the hospital?
Why, that wretched woman...
Mom!
What will I do?
Maybe I shouldn't have told her.
Oh, I only handed out a few.
It's not like I have many people to invite.
All my neighbors think Taejun is Saebyeol's dad,
so how can I invite them?
Hey, Oh Manjeong.
What is it this time?
What's this?
This, what is this?
Can't you tell?
Then again, you'd have to have a proper wedding
to know that's a wedding invitation.
If you can't tell, just look at it.
It's no ordinary wedding invitation,
but a rich family's invitation.
Why are you ripping up my son's wedding invitation?
That's bad luck!
What? Bad luck?
You're an animal who only looks human!
Who put Saebyeol in the hospital?
How dare you hand out wedding invitations?
That hurts!
Why are you blaming me?
I didn't do anything wrong!
You didn't do anything wrong?
You're the one who took Saebyeol away!
That's kidnapping!
I just did what they asked me to do!
They asked me to bring the kid,
so I did! That's all!
Let go of me!
Who was it?
Who put you up to it?
Who?
What?
It was Sejin's mom?
She's the one who told her to bring Saebyeol.
Gosh...
She told her to take her to Japan and stay there
until the wedding.
Japan?
That woman, Sejin's mom...
She told Oh Manjeong to do it.
Mom.
Can you look after Saebyeol?
Where are you going?
Who's here?
The caterer who cooked that dinner.
Really?
Tell her to wait.
I'm sorry.
She's in the middle of massaging her face,
so it'll take some time.
I'm fine,
so you can get back to your work.
This is a warning.
My final warning to you.
Why can't you understand sincerity?
What happened to your reasoning ability?
Why are you so emotional?
Spring comes every year,
so why do you like it so much?
You said you were never there for Taejun,
so you should make up for it.
Saebyeol is in critical condition!
I'm so nervous.
I feel like I'm going crazy!
Don't you get nervous at all?
I will stop her.
Mother, this is...
Mother!
