It's hard for me, too.

Yes.

I went to my birth father's grave today.

That's why I lied. Get it now?

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

Tae Joon isn't Kwang Il's real dad?

My goodness.

Regardless,

I'm sorry for deceiving you all this time.

Thank you for telling me.

If you had told me from the get-go, I wouldn't have misunderstood.

You did nothing wrong.

It's because I'm a loser.

Don't tell your mom.

She won't be able to handle it if she finds out I know.

Yes.

I knew something was up.

I wondered why the annoying...

super ultra snob Jung Hee married him.

That wicked witch.

You're dead now.

Yes! I got the answer.

Ji Min, why are you so excited?

The mystery has been solved.

I know the answer to the problem Great-grandpa gave me.

Get home safely then.

A mystery was solved for you, too? Me too.

Honey! Honey!

- Get up! Sit up! - Just say it.

Don't touch me. My back is killing me from digging up potatoes.

Still, sit up.

- You can't hear this lying down! - Okay. Wait.

Darn it.

What is it this time?

I finally know!

What?

Jang Jung Hee's mystery that bothered me for half my life!

What?

You figured it out.

This money is mine now, right?

That's right.

What will you do with this?

I'm going to buy shares of Sun Holdings.

What?

Not shares of Yangji Group,

but Sun Holdings?

Yes.

Is he gone?

That great-grandson.

Yes, he's gone.

I prayed and prayed that his family line would end.

How could he have a smart great-grandson like that?

The world is so cruel.

What happened between you and Chairman Jang?

What is it?

Have you heard...

of the 8.3 Private Loan Freeze Act in 1972?

Moneylenders like me...

once held the life of companies in our hands.

Yangji's Jang Wol Chun...

borrowed money from me too.

Please help me out just this once.

What about collateral?

I'll put up Yangji Construction stock as collateral.

I don't want worthless Yangi Construction stock.

I heard you bought up an insane amount of land in Gangnam for cheap.

Put that up as collateral.

Forget it if you don't want to.

Okay, okay. Then...

I'll put up the land in Gangnam as collateral.

He borrowed a large sum from me...

after putting up the land as collateral.

Then the loan matured.

Chairmen of large corporations who borrowed from loan sharks...

rushed the Blue House and insisted...

that the government should void their private loans.

That otherwise, the companies will go bankrupt and will be ruined.

That's why the Private Loan Freeze Act was formed.

That's right.

The government voided...

private loan agreements.

My gosh.

It's not like we're communists.

It's a free market. How could they do that?

So that's what happened between you and Chairman Jang.

Not only that. He had the nerve to come back to me.

25 years later during the IMF crisis.

He must have been ashamed to see me too.

He sent his son-in-law that time.

Chairman Choi Tae Joon.

Please help us.

We'll give you double of what we borrow.

I refuse even if you give me 10 times!

I'm not stupid!

You'll be bankrupt soon anyway.

Get out right now!

Please save us, sir.

I implore you.

That's how shameless...

those rats that live next door are.

Do you get it?

That's why you'll go back home?

Of course.

I'm furious about living under the same sky.

Must I share a wall with them?

Why should I?

You should collect your money.

How could I?

I'll collect it for you.

Why Sun Holdings of all companies?

Because I think I can make money if I invest in them.

I see. What about Great-grandpa's company?

What? Do you think you won't make money...

if you invest in my company?

That's not it.

To be honest, I promised the man next door.

I said if he tells me how much money this is,

I would invest in his company.

Can I not do that?

What?

Do as you wish. It's your money now.

Whether you buy stock,

put it in a bank, or buy snacks with it,

do as you wish. It's your money after all.

Among one of the companies Oh Tae Yang invested in...

was an IT company called Saeyoung Technology.

- Saeyoung Technology? - Yes.

It was a successful venture with a groundbreaking new technology...

that was a hit in the US as well.

But their competitor stole their technology,

so they popped like a bubble and disappeared.

What about it?

The competitor that stole their technology...

was Eunhasoo.com, which happened to be a company...

that your husband, Choi Kang Il, invested in.

The one that shut down disgracefully because of a scandal.

So the company Tae Yang invested in was Saeyoung Technology?

Yes.

Your husband owned a huge share, so he was hit hard...

when the scandal broke out, right?

As soon as Saeyoung went under, Tae Yang left for the US.

That's all I was able to find out.

It couldn't be because of that.

What are you doing?

I was reading.

That's Mr. Oh's book.

Ji Min was reading it, so I wondered what it was about.

I swear, Ji Min is better than me.

I'm the one who should read it.

Whom do I need the most right now?

Investors.

I must do whatever it takes to win Oh Tae Yang over.

We don't even really know who he is yet.

We can find out.

Honey.

- Dad! - Hi, son.

Please use this money to buy me Sun Holdings stock.

Of course, I will.

You invest in Sun Holdings,

and Sun Holdings can invest in Yangji Group.

You have such foresight.

We need to invite Mr. Oh over right away.

Please set it up.

Is something wrong with Min Jae's family?

Where are they?

They must be tired from working at the farm yesterday.

Like they did that much.

They've never done that before in their entire lives.

Does it feel empty without them?

Empty? It's nice and cozy.

Tell them to eat at their home from now on.

Why does Sook Hee have so much to say?

It's so noisy when she's here.

But it's entertaining.

As you see, all of us are too quiet.

That's true.

Shi Wol, me, and even Ms. Yang.

All the women in our house are so quiet.

I'll go visit Grandmother today.

I heard that she isn't doing well.

Okay.

Jung Hee, shouldn't you go too?

I went a few days ago.

You... You did?

Yes. Didn't Mother tell you?

No. She's been having memory issues lately.

What if she doesn't remember me, either?

Never.

She may forget everyone else, but she'd never forget you.

Why don't you take Ji Min and go with him?

She asked for him.

I will.

What? Are you serious?

That's right. Shocking, isn't it?

Then who's his real dad?

We don't need to know that much.

What matters is...

that we know Kwang Il's lethal weakness.

What will you do?

We were given a chance to push him out,

so we should use it.

How?

That's why we're gathered here.

To push out the number one, Kwang Il,

and put the number two, Min Jae, in his place.

Then I become number one?

That's right!

Let's put our heads together and think about what we must do...

to promote Min Jae to number one.

Seriously. He acted like he was so great in front of me,

but Kwang Il...

isn't so special.

I didn't know that he was carrying such a deep wound.

It must have been so hard.

What are you doing?

- What? - Are you pitying Kwang Il?

Why would I pity him?

Stay in your lane.

Don't go back and forth between two lanes.

What are you talking about?

Why did you marry me?

You wanted revenge. You married me to get revenge on Kwang Il.

- Then do it! - Did I say I wouldn't?

You're not doing it!

When will you take revenge?

Did you change your mind?

I did not.

I will get revenge.

I just have to reach my destination. That's what matters.

Whether I take another highway or even hop in a cab,

it's up to me. Stay out of it!

Why that...

I'm against it.

Acquiring Yangji Construction now...

is like a shrimp trying to eat a whale.

You want us to invest financially...

in such an unreasonable acquisition?

- Yes. - Are you out of your mind?

Don't worry.

It won't hurt the company.

I get it now.

The reason you returned to Korea.

Is this the revenge you mentioned?

Revenge? What revenge?

Give up on Yangji Construction. Target Yangji Corporation.

This isn't revenge. You'd be digging your own grave.

What are you talking about?

I want to be an investor in the Yangji Construction acquisition.

I know what you're worried about,

but I don't play games that I can't win.

I'm Oh Tae Yang.

True. Tae Yang only played if he could win.

Anyway, what revenge?

He says I'm trying to get revenge on Choi Kwang Il...

because of the Eunhasoo.com incident.

Eunhasoo.com? Why?

He was their largest shareholder.

For real?

The largest shareholder of that despicable Eunhasoo.com...

who stole Saeyoung's technology was Choi Kwang Il?

Yes.

They say enemies are destined to meet eventually.

This is getting interesting.

Let's talk later.

That's right. Mr. Hwang is going back to his place.

He doesn't like the food at my house.

I knew it.

He is such a picky eater.

That's why he can't stop...

going to my mom's restaurant.

Only my mom can please his taste buds.

True. Your mother is a great cook.

Choi Bool Am said on "Korean Food Table"...

"These are the best seasoned bean sprouts I've ever tasted."

That's right.

Can't we ask your mother to cook for him?

If you bring the foods to work, Tae Yang can take them home.

That will work.

That won't work. Because...

Stop complaining. The rainy season is drawing near.

You should cry too.

- What? - Cry like the toads.

Cry like them.

You see,

I'm going to cry until my throat bleeds.

Just like the toads.

Just let Mr. Hwang go back home.

It'll be easier for you,

and he can eat my mom's cooking whenever he wants.

I knew you'd say that, so I already took care of it.

Mr. Hwang hasn't been eating.

Seriously. Your food is the best.

I feel alive now.

I changed my strategy because Duk Shil won't listen.

I'll cry instead of her now.

I'll cry just like the toads.

You're the only one...

who cares about me.

Of course.

Anyway,

how is your food so good?

Even these bean sprouts.

How do they taste so amazingly good?

Bean sprouts...

seem easy, but they're surprisingly difficult.

- These? - That's right.

It tastes bad if it isn't ripe enough,

but it's too chewy if it's too ripe.

It sticks and burns if the pot is too shallow,

and it tastes bland if you add a little too much water.

They're super finicky,

just like you.

Why you... I'm not bean sprouts.

I thought they were easy, but I guess not.

You finicky bean sprouts.

You need to know how to appease that finicky temperament...

to become a food guru like me.

Do you know that?

I do.

I admit it. You're a great cook.

Your food is top notch.

Anyway, what do you plan to do?

You don't like the food here.

I know.

I'm worried.

When I think about the food,

I want to go back home, which is close to your restaurant.

But when I think about getting the money they took from me,

I feel like I need to stay here.

Money who took?

What? Nothing. Never mind.

I really don't know what to do.

What if we do this?

I'll come here and cook for you.

Really?

I'd love that.

What about the restaurant?

I'll have to close it.

How will you provide for yourself?

I'll have you pay me for my food.

Did you want to eat for free?

I never said I'd eat for free.

But could you survive on that?

That's my question.

You can make up for what I'll lose.

Your finicky taste buds only like my food.

You should invest at least that much.

Don't you agree?

Well, you don't need to give me an answer right away.

Think hard about it as you eat my food.

Look at this sly old fox.

Money is worthless if you don't use it.

It'll become worthless anyway, so pay me generously instead.

You old miser.

- Hello. - Is my father in his room?

Yes. Auntie...

What is it?

You knew, didn't you?

That Tae Joon isn't Kwang Il's real dad.

How did you...

You did know.

How did you find out?

Who cares about that?

How could you lie to me all these years?

Aren't I family?

It's nothing to be proud about and announce to the world.

Even if no one else in the world knows, I should.

I'm your daughter.

What difference does it make if you know?

Be careful of Tae Joon.

I've been investigating him plenty.

You don't have to worry about him.

Do you actually trust him?

I can't trust Jae Yong, but I trust Tae Joon.

- Satisfied? - Father!

If you're going to say things like that,

don't come anymore.

Don't come for breakfast anymore either!

Father.

Get out. Get out of my face! Go!

What's wrong?

Auntie's here.

Shi Wol, did you know?

What?

That your father-in-law isn't Kwang Il's real dad. Did you know?

Did you know, Ms. Yang?

It's my first time hearing about it.

I knew it.

What is that all about?

I don't know.

If what she says is true,

things will be hectic for a while.

What do you think you're doing?

How long did you plan to hide it?

Why you...

Even if you had no choice back then,

you shouldn't hide the truth!

What do you want?

How could you say that?

I feel bad for you and Kwang Il!

When I think about how hard it must have been for you,

I get all choked up, I can't breathe!

I know you hate me, but still.

Kwang Il and I are related. He's my nephew.

He and Tae Joon are strangers. They don't share a drop of blood.

Think about it.

Who cares more about you and Kwang Il?

You claim to care about us, but you run your mouth like that?

Run... Run my mouth?

This is why I never told you.

No, I couldn't!

- Sister! - I'm not your sister!

I never once considered you my sister.

So stop pretending to care about us,

and please stay out of our family's business. Got it?

Mother, it's Kwang Il.

Kwang Il's here. Ji Min too.

Honey.

Grandmother, it's me. Kwang Il.

Her mind goes in and out.

It's Kwang Il.

It's Kwang Il, whom you wanted to see so badly.

Okay.

Kwang Il.

Yes. How do you feel?

You look more and more like your grandpa by the day.

Do I? He must have been very handsome.

Yes, he was very handsome.

Your dad looks like me...

instead of your grandpa.

That's why he looks like that.

What's wrong with me? I'm not so bad.

What about Ji Min?

Isn't he handsome?

Who is he?

He's my son.

Don't be stupid.

He isn't your son.

You're so silly.

He really is my son.

I want to use the bathroom.

Sure.

Okay. I'll take you.

We'll be right back.

He isn't your son.

It's okay.

She's very sick. Let's go.

Great-grandma must really be very sick.

Yes, I guess so.

Thanks for coming.

I'm sorry for not coming often.

It's okay.

But Kwang Il...

Yes?

You're the only son of the Choi family for the fourth generation.

You can't forget that.

Remember you're not Jang family.

You're Choi family. Don't forget that.

Okay?

Okay.

Ji Min, go inside.

Okay.

I need to talk to you.

Auntie Sook Hee said something strange today.

What?

That you...

are not Kwang Il's real father.

Is what she said true?

Please tell me.

Is what she said true?

Were you disappointed?

Is that why you looked at me like that just earlier?

She's right. It's true. So?

Now that she knows,

she won't stay quiet.

You need to prepare yourself.

What do you mean?

You know...

they're always trying to oust Kwang Il.

You are Kwang Il's father, no matter what anyone says.

Even if you aren't his birth father.

What I'm saying is...

you must protect Kwang Il and Ji Min.

Please.

Don't worry.

I'll protect you guys no matter what.

She said that?

Yes.

Darn it.

I shouldn't have said that.

It was bound to get out.

Don't blame yourself too much.

Sure.

I feel bad toward my parents, but I'm sort of relieved.

It was so hard, being caught in the middle...

all this time.

Above all else,

I hated lying to you.

Sorry...

for not telling you sooner.

You had no choice.

I understand.

Thanks for saying that.

To be honest,

I was really scared...

that you'd get mad.

But don't do that anymore.

I'd like you...

to consult me regarding everything.

I won't keep secrets anymore.

- Okay. - You too.

A married couple shouldn't keep secrets.

So don't you keep secrets either.

There should be no more secrets between us.

Why aren't you answering me?

Do you have a deep, dark secret just like I do?

I do not.

Just kidding.

I'll take Ji Min to the farm.

The farm? Why?

He's your biological father,

but we never went to visit.

- Honey. - But...

don't tell the family.

Father will be hurt if he finds out.

Of course.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

What do you mean? It's only natural.

Come in.

The chairman wants to see you.

How long have you known?

I knew since I was in grade school.

Is that why...

you never listened to your father?

I had no idea.

Do you still hate your father?

I don't.

You know,

your father had a very sad life.

He married into this family, where no one even smiled at him.

He endured in silence...

and suffered a lot.

I know.

Be good to him.

He cares about you more than anything else.

Anyway, now that Min Jae's family found out,

what should we do?

It's obvious they'll attack like hyenas...

and try to damage your reputation.

So you need to pull off this acquisition.

Do whatever it takes.

If you don't, I won't be able to protect you anymore.

Don't worry. I promise to make it happen.

As you should. Good.

So?

How will you...

get my money from that jerk Jang?

Yangji is trying to get back Yangji Construction.

So?

They're looking for investors in order to gather the funds.

So?

Sun Holdings will invest.

You, our largest shareholder, must give consent...

Hey, Tae Yang!

You said you'd get my money back that he owes me.

But what?

Invest my money in that jerk Jang's company?

Are you kidding me right now?

Mr. Hwang.

No! I can't do that!

Why should I help that jerk Jang?

Do you think I'm the Buddha or something?

I'm Hwang Jae Bok.

Hwang Jae Bok, to whom nothing comes before money!

When did I say I'd help Chairman Jang?

His wish is to get back Yangji Construction, which he lost,

and you want to help him.

That will help him, not hurt him!

I have zero desire to help Yangji Group either.

What nonsensical babble is this?

Sir.

Listen very carefully.

Whose grave is this?

It's your grandpa's grave.

But Grandpa's alive.

Not that grandpa. A different grandpa.

A different grandpa?

Yes.

Your real grandpa.

He's Yoo Wol's son.

Sadly, Yoo Wol doesn't even have a grave.

They never found his body.

That's why I don't believe he's really dead.

I'm sure...

Yoo Wol is alive somewhere.

Hey!

I'm here.

Why?

My mom's at your house.

She is?

I think my mom plans to use cooking for Mr. Hwang as an excuse...

to move into your house.

What do you think?

I'd be grateful.

Grateful?

With Mr. Hwang and even my mom. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable?

I'm fine. They're both welcome.

They're welcome?

Then me too?

It's the man next door.

Mister!

Ji Min.

Hello.

Hello.

We meet again.

Yes.

Do you have time this weekend?

I do.

Would you like to come over for lunch?

VIU SUB Ripped & Synced by HoneyG

(A Place in the Sun)

I'm Yoon Shi Wol.

Wasn't your friend's name also Yoon Shi Wol?

We invited Mr. Oh, Sun Holdings' CEO.

I'd like to meet him as well.

He looks exactly like your son.

We have a guest.

Hello. I'm Oh Tae Yang.

The chairman can't eat this.

You don't have an allergy like our grandfather, do you?

Are you serious? Tae Joon is a really scary man.

Make Kwang Il change his last name to Jang.

Do you want to leave Yangji Group, which you worked hard to build,

to Choi family?

Jang Kwang Il.
