(Episode 35)

- Ms. Woo?
- Woo Hyuk.

Dad?

"Dad?"

You jerk.

- Why are you together with Bit Na?
- Honey.

You knew she was my daughter...

and approached her
on purpose, right?

Are you, of all the guys,

thinking of dating
an assemblyman's daughter?

I had no idea Hyunta
was your daughter.

What's more,

an assemblyman's daughter
is no big deal.

I told you, didn't I?

That all people were equal.

- You scumbag!
- Honey! Stop!

- Dad!
- Don't do it!

What do you think you're doing
before hearing me out?

Woo Hyuk did nothing wrong.

I'm sick.
He came to take me to the hospital.

Are you insane, Bit Na?
Why would you stick up for him?

I spent a fortune
and sent you to study abroad.

But all you're doing
is dating this guy?

Don't you know how I raised you?

Aren't you curious why your daughter
returned to Korea in secret,

stayed away from her parents,

and lived in hiding?

- What was that?
- As a parent,

you should listen to your child
and trust them at all times.

But without listening to her story,
you're lashing out at her.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

How dare a young man like you
lecture me?

Are you showing off that
you were raised without a father?

Excuse me first.

- Woo Hyuk.
- That little...

What a rude jerk.

You're really harsh, Dad.

My goodness, Bit Na!

Bit Na?

Wake up, Bit Na.

Honey.
Bit Na needs to see a doctor first.

Hurry!

Woo Hyuk. Did something happen?

Hyunta is Ms. Woo's daughter.

What do you mean by that?

Gosh, that's impossible.

Young Ran's daughter, Bit Na,

was sent to study abroad
when she was ten.

Even if I had met her
when she was little,

I would've recognized her.

Hyunta told me she was an orphan.

She lied to us all.

Both her name and the fact that
she was Ms. Woo's daughter.

Why would Hyunta have fooled us?

I don't know the reason.

But Hyunta must also have it hard.

Living while fooling others.

It's not all that easy.

When you see her,

I hope you don't criticize her
for deceiving us and such.

Gosh.

Her fever has finally gone down.

I can't forgive Bit Na.

I worked myself to the bone...

to send her to that expensive school
in the US.

But to return without permission?

No parents can win against
their child.

Bit Na does everything as she fits.

It's not as if I can do anything.

I have no idea why she runs so wild.

It's because
she takes everything for granted.

When I was young and poor,

I caught frogs in rice paddies
to fill my hungry stomach.

I walked 4km to and from school
until my rubber shoes wore out.

Even when my feet got swollen
from the cold in winter,

I never missed school.

Children these days are not like us.

I studied my butt off
to feed and save...

my family poor for generations.

So as not to pass on the misery
of being poor to Bit Na,

I bit the bullet
and entered politics.

You did go through a lot.

Other parents can't send
their children...

to such schools
even if they want to...

because of the expensive
tuition fees.

If her parents had sent her
to that costly school for her sake,

she should've been grateful
and studied hard.

Everything is for her own good,
but she doesn't know that.

I'm sorry, honey.

I must've spoiled her rotten...

because we had her at an old age.

I'm sorry.

Goodness gracious.

We failed to raise her well.

Just look at the situation we're in.

Aren't you going to work, babe?

I have documents to look over.
You can leave first.

All right.

I'm off, Mother.

Okay. Have a good day at work.

What about Ms. Kim?

I had her go grocery shopping.

You can come now.

Gosh, Gi Yun.

I'm frightened that
someone might find out.

I really am.

Only you and I know of it right now.

Just keep this up.

Welcome, Dr. Oh.

You parked your car
someplace else, yes?

I did.

Mother, someone may
suddenly show up,

so please stay here.

Okay.

Let's go.

No one can find out. Never.

I'll do it.

You're sick.
What are you doing right now?

It's not like I'm terminally ill.

Why would I make you do this?

No, still.

I'll do it
even if you aren't terminally ill.

I don't want to make you
do something like this.

- Get some rest.
- Goodness.

All right, then.

Woo Hyuk found out you were
the chairwoman of Jung Capital.

Really?

How did he find out?

I should've told him first.

What did he say?

Was he disappointed
that I brought him up...

pretending like I had no money,
although I did?

He wouldn't think like that.

He was in shock,

but he figured
you'd have a good reason.

Don't make him more curious about this
than he is.

Call him and tell him.

I should.

Also,

tell him why you were
against him becoming an actor...

and didn't like the idea
of him rising to fame.

You should tell him that too.

I can't tell him that!

Woo Hyuk cannot find out
until the day he dies.

Jaclyn sent...

a private detective to Japan
to find Suzuki.

Call Suzuki again
and tell him to stay in hiding.

He won't pick up his phone.

Do you think
Jaclyn found him already?

I can't believe
she sent someone to Japan.

You'll fall in danger
if Suzuki comes to Korea.

We need to find a way.

Goodness.

- Mom.
- Yes?

I'm not a kid. I can feed myself.

My gosh.

I like abalone porridge.
Why did you make chicken porridge?

What? My gosh.

What?

Hey, Dad.

My gosh.

Look at yourself.

I sent you abroad to study,
but you ran away and came back.

Did you miss me, Dad?

Aren't you happy you can see
your adorable girl every day?

Happy, my foot!

When will you grow up?

You always expect too much from me.

I'm pretty, cute,
in good shape, and adorable.

That's all you should want.
I can't be mature too.

People who are too perfect
don't seem attractive.

Goodness.
I have nothing to say to you.

What about Jung Woo Hyuk?
What's his relationship with you?

- He's the guy I like.
- What?

Don't you have anyone better to like
other than a drag like him?

You have the worst taste in men.

Bit Na, then Woo Hyuk was the guy
who turned you down...

although you had feelings for him?

Yes, he's amazing, isn't he?

He seemed even cooler
after he said he didn't like me.

How can he turn down
a woman like me?

This is completely absurd.

That penniless drag
dared to turn Bit Na down?

Who does he think he is
to turn her down?

I need to take this.

- You should go first.
- Okay.

Hey, Mom.

Gosh, you look great, Mom.

Were you shocked...

when you found out
I was the chairwoman here?

Of course, I was.

But it felt great.

You turned out to be rich,

so I thought you could now do
everything you wanted to.

I'm just happy that
you don't have to work hard anymore.

Woo Hyuk, there is
nothing in particular I want to do.

The only thing I want to do is
leave you this money...

and this company
I toiled and moiled for.

People won't look down on you
if you have money in your pocket.

Mom.

Don't try to leave
the money you made...

and the company to me,
but use it all for you.

All you ever did was work
until this day.

Don't say that.

You should think of a way
to run this business as an actor.

This is my wish.

Gosh, I'm not interested
in running a business.

You should learn from me
even if you aren't interested.

As I said, this was my wish.

Okay. I'll think about it.

Woo Hyuk.

Life never felt too tough
because you were with me.

Thanks to you,

nothing ever felt too tough.

Woo Hyuk,

you're my everything.

I love you, Mom.

Yes, me too.

Did you call me over just to smile?

What do you want to tell me?

(Director Jaclyn Taylor)

Seung Pil, don't be so shocked.

It's Seo Hee Jae's father in Japan.

What about her father?

He wasn't real.

What? He's not real?
What do you mean?

She created a fake father
to pretend like...

she was a rich heiress.

That can't be true.

You can't believe it either,
can you?

Don't you think
Seo Hee Jae is too shameless?

She deceived everyone
with her fake father...

to pretend like
she was made of money.

She's out of her mind.

So? What's your plan?

What do you think?

I'll call Suzuki to Korea,

then let Gi Yun know
Seo Hee Jae isn't a rich heiress.

He'd begin to despise her
once he found out...

that she deceived him.

I'm looking forward to that moment.

Suzuki.

Did you find
Seo Hee Jae's fake father?

Of course. He'll come to Korea soon.

I'm sure she lied
about befriending Shin Ju Kyung.

It must've been a bait
to get closer to Gi Yun.

Anyway, it'll be
the end of Seo Hee Jae...

as soon as Suzuki arrives.

What's wrong, Seung Pil?
Are you in shock?

Are you upset
that Seo Hee Jae deceived you?

Yes, a little.

Jaclyn will take Suzuki
to Jang Gi Yun and make him tell...

everything is fake,

that he's an actor.

Jang Gi Yun won't be happy with you
for deceiving him.

But I'm more worried about him...

becoming suspicious of you...

and realizing you are
actually Shin Ju Kyung.

Ye Kyung was beyond recognition
when she passed in the fire,

and Jang Gi Yun thought she was me
and gave me a funeral too.

It won't be easy to figure out...

I'm actually Shin Ju Kyung.

Where are you going?

We have to find a way.

I'm going to Jang Gi Yun's place.

Why are you going there?

To See Soo A.

Once Jang Gi Yun finds out
I deceived him,

I may not get to see her.

A huge bomb is about to drop.

I told you to come to the office.
Why did you want to meet here?

Why? Is this something
your mom can't know?

I need your help as an ex-detective.

Who's this?

Ito Yoshihiro.

He's a Japanese man
who'll come to Korea soon.

And?

Can you find him
as soon as he comes to Korea?

I have to meet him.

Hey, I'm an ex-detective,
emphasis on ex.

I can't do much as an ex-detective,

and I'm done with this line of work.

I'm sure you have
your colleagues and juniors.

A man's life is at stake.
Please help me out.

A man? Who?

Me. Your nephew.

What?

Uncle Soo Ho, please help out
and save your nephew's life.

What on earth is going on?

I'll tell you the reason later.

Good grief.

I'll put my trust in you.

Come on in, Hee Jae.

Have you been well, Mother?

Yes, I've been well thanks to you.

- Where's Soo A?
- She's resting in her room.

Right, Mother.
I had to come in a hurry,

so I couldn't bring anything.

That's not a problem.

We aren't strangers.

I think...

this will look good on you.

My goodness, you don't have to.

I can't receive
such a thing from you.

Come on.

It looks great on you, Ms. Hong.

Gosh, really?

It sure is pretty.

But wasn't it expensive?

Ms. Hong. It's to thank you gift
for treating me...

like your own daughter.

Please accept it.

You really know how to move
people's hearts, Hee Jae.

I better go see Soo A.

Sure. Head upstairs.

Yes. It's nice.

Mother.

I didn't gift that to you
out of love.

You'll later find out...

why I gave that bracelet to you.

So you were studying, Soo A.

Soo A. How about I give you a bath?

I heard that your mommy
used to bathe you...

when you were little.

She told me that
you liked bubble baths.

Why don't I give you a bubble bath
like your mommy?

Do you like it?

Soo A.

Mommy might...

not be able to come and see you.

My beloved daughter.

What will I do if I can't see you?

- Here.
- What?

Here.

Are you enjoying your bath?

There's a home with three bears

Daddy bear, mommy bear

And baby bear

Mommy?

Daddy bear is chubby

Mommy bear is slim

It's the song Mommy used to sing
whenever she brushed my hair.

She's like Mommy.

Baby bear is super cute

I'm sorry, Soo A.

A sad thought crossed my mind
while singing the song.

It made me cry.

Don't cry, Ms. Hee Jae.

I'm such a fool, right?

To shed tears
because of a sad thought...

while singing a song.

Soo A. You see,

I really like you.

I love you, Soo A.

I love you, too.

(WJ Entertainment)

Na Seung Pil.

How dare you, like some kid,

make Jaclyn sneak
the secret ledger out?

What are you doing,
hiding behind a woman like a coward?

You're a scumbag.

I'm not as nasty as you,
playing dirty, using a woman,

trampling over her,
filling your greed,

then throwing her away...

once she becomes useless.

Don't tell me
you'll throw Jaclyn away as well.

What's it to you?

Are you going to wait until I do,
then take her?

What?

How pathetic, Seung Pil.

All you ever do is lose to me.

Your beloved Eun Ha
ended up loving me.

And so did Jaclyn,

who you ordered to approach
and destroy me.

I told you.

That you were no match for me.

Jang Gi Yun.

Why do you despise me so much?

Why did you take
my beloved Eun Ha from me,

make up a crime,
and send me to jail?

Just why?

This is why I hate you.

You don't know what you did wrong.

What did I do to you?

I don't remember
doing anything wrong to you.

Stop whining at me
for harassing the innocent you.

Try to remember what you did to me.

I'll stop hating you...

when you recall it
and come begging...

for my forgiveness.

I'm back, Mother.

Welcome home.

Isn't that a new bracelet?

Oh, this? It's from Hee Jae.

Hee Jae dropped by?

Yes. She's in Soo A's room.

She's tucking Soo A into bed
after dinner.

Why would you accept her gift?

Take it off right now.

I'll buy you something better.

Why are you laughing?

Listen, Jaclyn.

You promise to buy me things.

But did you ever keep your word?

You give me false hope
every single time.

Was there a time I broke my promise
and never bought you something?

The building.

You said you would buy me
the building worth 17 million dollars.

You used that
to treat me like a slave.

But you never bought it for me.

That...

I had something else to invest
with the money for the building.

I will buy it for you
with the investment profits.

So take off that bracelet.

I will when you buy me the building.

What's going on?

Mother received a bracelet
from Seo Hee Jae.

Your mother really loves freebies.

Is Hee Jae here?

Yes. Hee Jae bathed, played,

fed, and put Soo A to sleep.

She had it tough,
looking after Soo A all day long.

- Is Soo A asleep?
- Yes.

Ms. Seo.

How's your father back in Japan?

Excuse me?

Mother. Apparently, her father
is a man of wealth in Japan.

No wonder.

She's giving off the air
of a well-brought-up daughter.

"The air
of a well-brought-up daughter?"

I can't really tell.

You're really something, Mother.

I'll take my leave.

Okay. Get back safely.

Hee Jae.
You're fluent in Japanese, right?

An investor
will come from Japan soon.

Do you mind being our interpreter?

An investor from Japan? Who is he?

You'll see.
A man wants to invest in our agency.

We should meet together.

You'll help
with the interpretation, yes?

I need to check my schedule.

Excuse me now.

Go ahead. Thanks for your hard work.

- Thank you.
- Bye.

People will sooner or later
discover that...

you hired a fake father
and fooled people.

Welcome back, honey.

Dad! I got discharged.

Are you still crossed with me, Dad?

Gosh. Must you hold such a long grudge
against your daughter?

"Against your daughter?"

Are you even my daughter?

Am I not? Am I an adoptee?

That wasn't what I meant.

You scared me.
I thought I wasn't your real daughter.

Go back to the US
without another word.

No.
You know I suck at studying, Dad.

Remember? I always came last place
back in elementary school.

Well, aren't you proud of it?

Your parents are supporting
your education,

so why can't you do it?

Life isn't all about studying.

They say happiness
doesn't come from grades.

People who are bad at studying
always say that.

In this country,
happiness comes from grades.

That's why everyone is trying
to get into prestigious colleges.

It's like I'm talking to a wall.

You really don't listen to others.
Aren't you a politician?

Keep this up,
and others will call you a boomer.

What was that?

Bit Na,
that was rude of you to your dad.

I want us
to be a democratic family...

with freedom and rights...

where a boomer
can be called a boomer.

Good grief. That girl.

If only she were bad with words
with that empty brain of hers.

It's a relief she at least has a way
with words with that brain.

Woo Hyuk,
I got discharged from the hospital.

I'm sorry about last time.

You must be angry because of my dad.

I'm fine. You don't have to mind me.

He's fine? I knew he was such a man.

How can I not like him?

He's the only one.
Woo Hyuk is the only one for me.

Soo Ho, let's watch the drama.

But the baseball game is on.

My gosh.

(Democratic Party to elect
the representative tomorrow)

Let's do our best.

(Assemblyman Yang Hee Chan is
the most likely to win.)

Yang Hee Chan. I can't believe
a man like that is in politics.

Tell me about it.

I've met him a few times,
and he shouldn't be in politics.

You've met him a few times?

How?

He's the husband
of Actress Woo Young Ran.

I'm acquainted with her,
so I've been to his house too.

You've been to his house?

What's with those faces?

Are you surprised that
I've been to a politician's house?

Yes, of course.

Anyway, what's Woo Young Ran like?

- Is she nice?
- She's wonderful.

She's friendly,
and she says what needs to be said.

But how did she end up
with a husband like him?

I packed all my clothes.
I'll go now.

Okay. Be careful out there.

What a small world.

Woo Hyuk has been
to Yang Hee Chan's house?

My goodness.

What a small world.

Mother, why aren't you asleep?

I can't seem to sleep
whenever Dr. Oh comes.

Don't be so anxious.

No one will find out
if you and I keep this up.

And even in the future,

no one can find out
about this secret...

between you and me.

That's Jang Gi Yun's voice.

I gifted a bracelet
planted with a bug to Mother.

I probably won't get to go over...

and see Soo A once Suzuki shows up.

Planting a bug is illegal.

But to know what was going on
in Gi Yun's house, I had no choice.

What secret
could they be talking about?

We'll have to figure it out.

Jang Gi Yun's secret
that no one should know.

Where are you, Jaclyn?

I'm still at the gallery.
I left something behind.

I'll be there soon.

Jaclyn seems suspicious.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Ito Yoshihiro.

(The Elegant Empire)

People get ruined
because of their greed.

When someone becomes overly greedy,

it never ends well.

I don't want you to fall into danger
while trying to help me.

The worst may happen to you,
just as it did to Ye Kyung.

I won't be able to go on
if I lose you too.

I don't know what's going on,
but you need to stop here.

If I was going to stop,
I wouldn't have asked you for help.

I need to pull Suzuki out
at all costs.
