(Episode 45)

Is there any possibility
my dad might wake up?

No. He will be in this state
until his last breath.

Unless there's a miracle.

Well, miracles do happen at times.

I think your dad will remain
like a dead man...

until he passes away quietly.

I wish a miracle would happen.

I want Dad...

to wake up miraculously...

and see that I, not Shin Ju Kyung,

made our company more successful.

I hope the day comes...

when Dad acknowledges me as his son.

I don't feel the same way.

I don't want your dad to wake up.

If he does,

he'll go wild, asking why
we turned him into a dead person...

and even held his funeral.

What's more, he might take you down
from the chairman position.

If he finds out
you are not his biological son...

It will shock him greatly.

What I think...

is best...

is for him to pass away as is...

while believing
you're his biological son.

I'd like to ask Dad
when he wakes up.

Whether he thought
I was his biological son.

You will divorce Jaclyn, right?

Of course.

When Jaclyn leaves
and Hee Jae moves in,

shouldn't we transfer your dad
to somewhere else?

Hee Jae is smart and quick-witted.

She might find out
we're hiding your dad.

If something happens
during the transfer,

the fact that Dad is still alive...

might get exposed.

You and I...

will be accused
of faking a living person's death.

Our house is the safest place.

Did you meet with Jaclyn?

How did you know that?

I can sense how worried you are.

You feel bad for Jaclyn, right?

Had I not brought Jaclyn to Korea...

Had I not dragged Jaclyn
into my revenge,

it would've been.

That's what I have been thinking.

You said you wanted to take revenge
on Gi Yun...

because your beloved woman died.

What kind of a woman was she?

She was pure and kind.

She was my junior
in my college book club.

She had a beautiful smile.

When Eun Ha wanted to become
an actress,

I quit my job at a major company,
and we joined WJ,

the company
my college friend Gi Yun was in.

So that was the start
of her ill-relationship...

with Gi Yun.

For three years,
I couldn't confess to her...

or hold her hand.

It was hard to keep my feelings
to myself.

On the day I wanted
to confess to her,

Eun Ha confessed to me.

That she loved Gi Yun.

You loved her dearly.

But you couldn't hold her hand
or even confess to her.

The toughest thing for me...

wasn't that
Eun Ha didn't love me back.

I was the most tormented...

because I couldn't protect her,
although I loved her.

And I was...

the most sorry because of that.

I feel the same way.

I couldn't protect Ju Kyung
from Gi Yun.

That's why...

my new reason for living is...

protecting Ju Kyung,
who's now back as Hee Jae.

I was concerned about Jaclyn...

because she was Eun Ha's sister,
and she might become...

as miserable as Eun Ha was.

I don't feel that
she's completely evil.

I just sympathize with her.

I feel sorry and pity her.

Woo Hyuk.

It's frustrating
because I cannot tell anybody else...

that Jaclyn is
Eun Ha's non-identical twin.

Anyway,
why does Gi Yun loathe you so much?

No idea.

Gi Yun told me to think about
how I did him wrong...

and return to apologize.

Remembering what I did wrong
to Gi Yun is...

a problem left behind for me.

I hope Hee Jae, you, and I...

will end up living
happily ever after in the future.

I hope so.

I also hope Jaclyn will turn away
from her wrongdoings...

and become happy too.

Honey, this is the office
for my new business.

What do you think? Nice, isn't it?

- Yes, it's spotless and lovely.
- Right.

And it's easy to access too.

There's a great ox bone soup place
on the basement level.

Really?

- Do you come here often?
- Of course.

I've been coming here once a week
for the soup.

I haven't told you, but I found...

- a new tenant for this office.
- Really? I'm glad.

It was a shame to leave it empty.

We're supposed to pay for
their move-in cleaning,

so make sure to do it for them.

Okay.

This is so good.

Mom's kimchi is the best.

What are you doing, Bit Na?

I'm putting your kimchi
in another container...

to show it off to someone.

Show it off to who?

Woo Hyuk's mother.

I want to get on the good side
of my future mother-in-law.

Goodness.

It's not like you made it.

Why do you want to use that
to get on her good side?

My gosh.

Woo Hyuk won't fall for you, right?

That's why you're now
after his mother,

so you're giving away my kimchi
to get on her good side.

Mom, Woo Hyuk is a really good son.

He'll end up accepting me...

when he finds out
how much his mother adores me.

And he'll be really good to you
once he becomes your son-in-law.

Do you like him that much?

Yes, he drives me crazy.

My gosh. All right.

Make sure you earn
lots of points from her.

Okay.

- Here.
- Right, Mom.

Are you really going to begin
that medical device business?

Yes, I rented out an office too.

It's an office
in Woo Hyuk's building.

What? What are you talking about?

"Woo Hyuk's building?"

You didn't know?

Woo Hyuk's mother owns
lots of buildings as a landlady,

and she also runs
a nonmonetary institution.

She's unbelievably rich.

Really?

I thought he was poor.

Mom, this means Dad will approve...

of my relationship with Woo Hyuk.

He loves money.

I don't think that rule
applies to Woo Hyuk.

But no parent can
win against his child.

Don't mind him
and work it out with him.

To be honest,

I'd love to see you marry Woo Hyuk.

Goodness.

Okay.

This is delicious.

Your mother is a good cook.

Mr. Jung, try some.

Me?

This is fantastic!

Mother, you've heard that...

daughters become as good of a cook
as their mother, right?

I've never cooked a day in my life,

but I think I'll be good
once I start doing it.

I'll learn from this day on...

and make sure
Woo Hyuk eats delicious meals.

Goodness,
listen to how sweet she is.

Anyway, why didn't you tell me
that you were a rich landlady?

Well, that's not something
I go around showing off.

I'm sharing this with you
in case you take me the wrong way.

I really didn't know
Woo Hyuk was rich.

My feelings for him have
nothing to do with money.

I know.

I can already tell by your face
that you can't lie...

and grew up
without a day of trouble.

That's why I like you even more.

You liked Woo Hyuk
even when you thought...

he was the son
of a poor cleaning lady.

I adore that pure heart you have.

- You must adore her a lot.
- Yes.

Mother.

I like you so much too.

All right.

I'm home, Mom.

Woo Hyuk!

You're just in time for dinner.

Why are you here, Bit Na?

I invited her over for dinner.

Was this why you told me
to make sure I come home for dinner?

Her mother sent us her kimchi.

Let's eat dinner together.

Bit Na, will you
continue to be like this?

I told you not to like me.
Why do you keep coming here?

Right, Mother.

My mom began a new business,
and she'll have an opening party soon.

Will you come?

Should I?

Give me a call. I'll make time.

Why does my head hurt so much?

Look at the time!

Honey, have you eaten anything?

Did you decide to ignore me
and treat me like I was invisible?

Jaclyn.

You'll eventually give up.

If you think about the hospital,

aortopathy requires
lots of manpower to...

Mother, is anything fun on TV?

It may not be easy
to make an investment.

Even Mother will treat me
as if I'm invisible?

Jaclyn.

My real harassment for you will...

begin tomorrow.

Let's see how long you'll last.

No one will talk to me.

So be it.

I will hold out as long as I can.

I will hold out
for my first husband,

daughter, and mother...

and won't let anyone
take them away from me.

I will not crash like this.

What is this, Seung Pil?

That's where your mother is.

Should I go meet
this so-called mother of mine?

I'll go there
and take out my anger on her.

Our party shall...

remain honest and devoted...

and present ourselves humbly
before our people.

As the selected party leader,

I will root out corruption,
build a society of justice,

and stabilize the economy...

so the people can live happily
in this country.

Great. My goodness.

My husband is really cool.

Why did you want to see me here
and not at home?

By any chance,
is there evidence of Jaclyn...

trying to kill you?

Yes. Woo Hyuk has it.

I will give that to Gi Yun...

and drive Jaclyn into the corner.

- When that happens...
- Jaclyn...

will get mercilessly thrown away
by Gi Yun.

That's right.

I can once and for all pull her away
from Gi Yun.

Listen.

How about not handing that evidence
to Gi Yun?

Do you sympathize with Jaclyn?

Do you feel pity for Jaclyn?

Jaclyn is already suffering enough.

Even if you don't go that far,

Jaclyn will soon leave Gi Yun.

- Wait until then and...
- I can't do that.

It is only a matter of time
before Gi Yun realizes I'm Shin Ju Kyung.

So I must take my revenge
as soon as possible.

Mr. Na. You're too kind-hearted
to take revenge...

on someone.

If you can't work with me
because of Jaclyn,

you should pull out now.

Eun Ha.

What should I do?

Bit Na.

Let me make this clear to you again.

You're banned
from coming to my house.

You're banned from liking me, too.

Whatever.
You're banned from saying those.

Anyway, thanks for giving me a ride.

I only did it because Mom said
going home at night was dangerous.

That little... Stop!

What was that for?

You...

You jerk.
You're still dating Bit Na?

Dad. It's a misunderstanding.

We met up because I liked him.

And I kissed him on the cheek.

You heard her. Now let me go.

Hey. I know that you sweet-talked
my naive Bit Na into dating you.

I never hit on your daughter.

And I'm in love with another woman.

What was that? You little...

Woo Hyuk!

Do you think
I'll fall for such a lie?

Yang Bit Na.
You just saw how I got treated.

So quit liking me already.

I beg you.

Hey!

That scumbag!

How dare he act all smug
until he leaves?

Dad. How many times must I tell you
that I like him?

I'm the one who likes him.

I, your daughter,
can't live without him, okay?

Come to your senses!

Stop being played by him!

Honey!
Your speech today was amazing.

I don't care about my speech.
Control Bit Na, will you?

What about her?

- What?
- How frustrating.

Bit Na. What is it? What happened?

Dad saw Woo Hyuk
dropping me off at home.

What?
Woo Hyuk dropped you off at home?

And your dad saw that?

Bit Na. Did your dad hit Woo Hyuk?

I don't know. Dad is so annoying.

Oh, no.
He must've hit Woo Hyuk again.

Hey.

Honey.

It's Bit Na who likes Woo Hyuk.

But Woo Hyuk
has no feelings for Bit Na.

Then why would he have given her
a ride home?

I will set a blind date for Bit Na
and get her married.

Set up a blind date
and get her married?

She should marry a wealthy
and intelligent family's son at once.

That punk Jung Woo Hyuk
gets on my nerves.

Just the sight of him makes me
flip out and punch him.

You're back late.

Did something happen?

It wasn't anything serious.

Why didn't you tell me
you were the heir...

of Jung Capital?

How did you find out?

Your mother had me come
to Jung Capital twice.

What did she say?

Did she say hateful things?

I'm sorry.

I have no right to want Woo Hyuk.

I will end it with him soon.
You can believe me.

I will trust you one last time.

However, if you fool me again,

I will not overlook it.

No.

She was curious
as to why I suddenly transferred...

to WJ Entertainment.

The fact that I'm the heir
of Jung Capital...

doesn't change our relationship.

No matter who I am,
I will keep loving you.

That was why I didn't tell you.

And for me,

money is simply a tool to use
to help you.

It means nothing more
or less than that.

That's cool, Woo Hyuk.

Oh, right. Gi Yun is getting
the evidence tomorrow, right?

How exciting.

I'm also excited to see
what kind of face Jaclyn will make...

after seeing the evidence.

Mother.

I'm heading out for a bit.

Go ahead.

When you're back,

something really interesting
will have happened.

(Eunhye Nursing Home)

This ring is from me,
her mother-in-law.

She's not wearing
this precious ring anymore...

since it's out of fashion.

I'll give it to Hee Jae.

- Mom.
- Yes?

What are you doing?

You see, I'm throwing out
all of Jaclyn's belongings.

Her jewels will be sold.

That's my mom.

Did Jaclyn go out?

She left early in the morning.

That's why I'm preparing this event
for her.

In it goes.

Jaclyn will have a heart attack...

when she sees nothing of hers is here
once she returns.

Then I'll get ready for work.

All right.

I'll make breakfast.

Okay.

Isn't that Mr. Hwang?

Why is he working here?

That sounds great.

Let's go. We're late for a meeting
with the interior designer.

Are you doing okay?

(Visitation Request)

(Eunhye Nursing Home)

(Patient Name: Im Sun Ja
Visitor Name: Jaclyn...)

(Patient Name: Im Sun Ja)

(Patient Name: Im Sun Ja
Visitor Name: Choi Min Ha)

(Relationship)

(Relationship: Daughter)

Are you Ms. Im Sun Ja's daughter?

Yes.

She has dementia.

I'm letting you know
in case you get disconcerted.

Dementia?

(Patient: Im Sun Ja)

(Patient: Im Sun Ja)

Who are you?

Choi Min Ha.

Do you recognize me?

You're so pretty,

as pretty as Eun Ha.

Eun Ha?

I'm waiting for Eun Ha.

My daughter, Eun Ha, said she'd come,

but she hasn't.

Choi Min Ha.

Choi Min Ha is your daughter too.

You now have dementia
and aren't in your right mind,

yet you only remember Eun Ha?

You don't remember me,
but you remember Eun Ha?

Do you still only care about her?

(Eunhye Nursing Home)

You're here.

You always come
on the same day every week.

Yes.

Ms. Im has a visitor right now.

A visitor?

There's no one
who'll come and see her.

By any chance,
is the visitor named Jaclyn... No.

Choi Min Ha?

Yes, you're right.

All right. Thank you.

Jaclyn came to see her mother.

Choi Min Ha.

Choi Min Ha. I'm your daughter too.

Remember that I'm your daughter too!

You sent me to America
instead of Eun Ha.

You abandoned me just like that.

You may have abandoned me,
but I became a success.

I wanted to see you
regret abandoning me...

and apologize to me,

so I clenched my teeth
and lived as hard as I could...

when I was adopted to America!

It was all to return to Korea...

and show you
how big of a success I had become.

I became the wife
of WJ Entertainment's chairman,

and I'm the director
of a famous gallery.

My husband loves me so much,

and my mother-in-law treats me
as if I'm her own.

Although I didn't give birth to her,

Soo A adores me
as if I was her real mother.

I finally have a family
I always dreamed of.

I'm a huge celebrity,

and everyone in this world is
jealous of the life I have.

Look at my clothes, bag, shoes,

and jewelry.

Do you know how much these are?

These are so expensive that
you'll never get to have them.

Look at how big of a success
Min Ha had become...

after you abandoned her!

Even if you have dementia,

you should have kept the daughter
you abandoned in your heart.

Only then can you apologize
for what you did wrong!

Don't cry.

This was the only day I lived for.
How can you not remember me?

How can you do this to me?

It's harder to forgive you...

for not remembering me,
not just abandoning me.

Please don't cry.

You do not deserve to be a mother!

(The Elegant Empire)

Jaclyn is already hated
by Gi Yun and her mother-in-law,

so things are tough enough for her.

Can we just call this off?

I got worried about
Mr. Na's concern for Jaclyn.

Jaclyn tried to kill me.

She's as evil as Gi Yun.

I cannot forgive her.

You need to protect Gi Yun,
and I need to protect Hee Jae.

I need to meet you urgently
and discuss something.
