Mom, don't get the wrong idea.

Darn you.

How dare you two?

Aren't you afraid of your punishment?

How could you have an affair
with your friend's husband?

Call Ba Da.

My daughter, Ba Da.

Mom!

Mother.

What?

(Episode 14)

Mom!

Ba Da.

Mom, it's me.

Mom, open your eyes.

Mom, open your eyes.

Mom!

Mom, are you all right?

Can you see me?

You...

What's wrong, Mom?

Mom!

Excuse me.

My mother had heart
surgery at this hospital...

I already told them.

We should move her to the ICU
and observe her for any changes.

Over here.

Oh, no.

What's going to happen to my mom?

Why did she faint like
that all of a sudden?

Was she shocked or something?

How did you know she had passed out?

Were you two together?

Yes. Well...

We met in front of the apartment complex.

I was on my way home with burgers
for Mi Poong and your mom.

Mi Poong and Chun are
having a sleepover today.

I didn't know.

Cha Won had gotten off work,
so we were saying hello.

Then your mom came out all
of a sudden and fainted.

It would've been worse if Cha Won
hadn't checked on her right away.

That's a relief. And today
was especially cold too.

What if my mom was alone when
she passed out on the street?

You have part-time work, right?

You should go. Thank you
for helping us today.

No. I'll stay here with you.

It's okay.

There's nothing we can do now.

By now, I know what the doctors will say.

She's right.

I think you should go.

Okay.

Ba Da, call me if anything happens.

(Cha Won)

Don't be nervous.

We can get our story straight.

She can't call both of us liars.

You should go home.

Both of us don't have to be here.

I'll stay with you.

You might have to take my place later.

So you should go home and rest up for now.

I'll call you if anything changes.

Okay.

Let's switch after I get some sleep.

What is it?

I was worried you'd be having a hard time,

so I wanted to see you before I left.

I'm fine.

I told you how I felt earlier.

Tell me how you feel now.

How I feel?

I don't want anything.

Knowing how you feel is enough for me.

I don't mind...

living in the shadow
for the rest of my life.

I won't get married.

I won't date other men.

I'll just run errands for Ba
Da and take care of Mi Poong.

Seeing you will be the joy of my life.

I'll always stay in my spot.

So you can see me when you turn around.

I won't ask you for anything.

I can't say anything,

do anything,

or make any promises.

I hope you can understand my situation.

I can't give you a clear explanation...

of my feelings right now.

I just want to let myself...

flow with the river.

I can understand that.

I don't want you to be miserable.

Just as I've done up till now,

I'll love you on my own...

and treasure you on my own.

At least, you know how I feel now.

That's enough.

Darn you.

How could you have an affair
with your friend's husband?

- You...
- What's wrong, Mom?

What brings you here at this hour?

It's not morning yet.

Well,

I was worried about you.

You didn't get any sleep, right?

I got some sleep in the lobby.

How's Mom? Is she awake?

Not yet.

I'll stay here.

You should go home and get some sleep.

No.

Cha Won also wanted to
come, but I told him not to.

When Mom wakes up, she'll ask for me first.

I should be here.

Right.

I'll stay with you then.

Give this to her and end it...

before Dad finds out.

Someone will come and pick this up later.

You can hand off this box.

I made some bibimbap.

Get up and have some food.

I don't want any food.

You're afraid to be on
your own after a divorce.

But you're furious to forgive him.

You must be going through a hard time now.

You should sue that girl.

After the adultery law got repealed,
people started filing lawsuits.

What was that called?

With a lawsuit, you can get
a lot of money for alimony.

But then again, your
family is already rich.

You wouldn't want more money.

You must be so upset.

I heard that girl was 20
years younger than you.

Goodness. You can try all you want,
but age is one thing you can't beat.

Aren't you going to eat?

I'll take it with me if
you're not going to eat.

The sesame oil smells amazing.

Here.

Did your son-in-law end it?

Sometimes, men tend to lose their way.

Be the bigger person and forgive him.

Then he won't do it again.

I heard you went skiing and camping.

- How did you know that?
- What?

I just had a feeling.

You've never cheated on your wife, right?

- Do you want my honest answer?
- Why else would I ask?

I have to spend money
if I want to meet women.

I didn't have any money.

When I started making money,
I didn't have the time.

Now that I have some time,

I've gotten old physically and mentally.

So I have no desire.

I have neither the passion
nor a woman who likes me.

But when it comes to my inner thoughts,

I can't say I'm free from any infidelity.
What about you?

I've been keeping things low-key.
A few flings.

Since you never crossed the
line, you're not guilty?

Right.

You must have been grocery shopping.

Not even a hello from you?

- Forget it.
- Take this inside.

Let me take care of the trash first.

See you later.

Call me anytime.

Do you need to talk?

Things are pretty bad at the house.

I feel bad for his daughter.

She can't even divorce him.

Getting a divorce isn't easy.
They have kids.

Rich people are more
reluctant to get a divorce.

I heard the company couldn't
function without the husband.

That's why it's crazier.

Age is the biggest weapon women have.

And her weapon is not the
same as the girl's weapon.

That girl got the newest missile.

And the wife got the
outdated submachine gun.

I wonder who she is. I would
love to see that face of hers.

You should go.

Come home quickly. I'll be done soon.

Okay.

Is the owner not here?

Over there.

You're older than I thought.

I know we never met. But
don't take it personally.

What you did was wrong.

You can't wreck someone's
marriage like that.

How could you come to work
as if nothing happened?

Yes. I'm almost there.

I can just take Eun
San's belongings, right?

I put the money in the box.

Hold onto it.

Once Eun San calms down,
give it to her then.

Even if she calls or visits you,

send her back and don't give her any hope.

Please do that.

She's too young. So she
doesn't know anything.

You shouldn't encourage
her as you're older.

Hey. I'm not here to pick this up.

Dad.

What are you doing here?

What about you?

You see,

I came here to teach
the bookkeeper a lesson,

but she kept telling me to take this.

Trying to explain myself to
her has drained my energy.

And she's so strong.

I'm here on an errand for this.

Is that so?

By the way, I can't picture them together.

The bookkeeper doesn't make
a good couple with the owner.

Why are you so interested
in other people's business?

Right. Beauty is in the
eye of the beholder.

By the way, that
bookkeeper might quit soon.

Why don't I ask if Eun San can work here?

Not here.

I'm already looking into
other positions for her.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Please eat.

Eat it. The meat is burning.

It wasn't because I hated you...

or wanted to divorce you.

I had no reason.

It wasn't your fault either.

It wasn't because I didn't
find you attractive.

If I had to find a reason,

I must have been too tired.

I had been living with your parents...

for 18 years now.

I think something inside me snapped.

We never lived like other newlyweds.

I had never been at
complete ease in the house.

I could never take off
my clothes comfortably.

I was always nervous when I went to sleep.

They could call me anytime they wanted.

I was always on standby.

I had never embraced you...

at ease.

It felt as if your father was watching me.

So I couldn't freely make love to you.

Let me say this again.

It wasn't because you weren't good enough.

This happened because I wasn't good enough.

Don't blame yourself.

That breaks my heart.

Geum Ah.

I'm coming back to you.

Please give me some time.

- You want to move out?
- Yes.

For the 18 years we've been married,

we never had the freedom to be on our own.

What are you talking about?

We're on the 1st floor, and
you're on the 2nd floor.

You have your freedom.

It was uncomfortable living here for me.

Imagine how it would've
been for my husband.

Was it uncomfortable for you?

I couldn't take off my
clothes comfortably...

or eat the food I wanted.

Take them off. We never
told you to do that.

And you got to eat
everything you wanted too.

Is that why he cheated on you?

He's got to be kidding me.

Whenever you guys called him,

he had to come down day and night.

He lived with you guys for 18 years.
That's enough.

I want to move out, so
we can be on our own.

Dad, let us do that even
if it's for a few years.

Sure.

Really? Dad.

How could you say yes to that?

I can't live without them.

Try it.

How much longer will you
live with your daughter?

I'll be bored living in
this big house alone.

Cha Won can move in with his family then.

- Will they?
- Of course, they should.

I know Ba Da will want to listen to me.

Okay. Where do you want to go?

Don't move too far.

Right. You guys can move
into Cha Won's apartment.

And they can move in with us.
You guys can switch.

They're living in your
dad's apartment anyway.

We should listen to what Ba Da wants too.

Actually, I was going to find a
unit around Cha Won's apartment.

It's close from here.

Your burger sets are ready.

Okay.

- Thank you.
- Enjoy.

Thanks.

Gosh. They give you a lot of food.

It's not even that expensive.

You know all the good
restaurants in Korea, right?

Not all of them. But I
know a good number of them.

Taxi drivers know a lot of
good and cheap restaurants.

People can look up restaurants
on their phones now.

But back in the day, they
all asked the taxi drivers.

For both directions and restaurants.

Right.

Hey, try it. It's good.

It's good.

- Right?
- Yes.

It looked like you haven't
been getting good sleep lately.

Is it because of your ex-wife?

No.

I saw...

her.

- Where?
- She got into my taxi.

What a small world.

Could you recognize her right away?

What did she say? Is she happy now?

I didn't say anything. Neither did she.

- Not even a hello?
- No.

She didn't seem happy.

I thought she would be happy.

And I hoped she would.

How do you know that? You
didn't talk to each other.

Was she dressed poorly?

Did she age quickly?

She was older than you.

I could just tell.

You're not going to see her again, right?

We didn't even talk.

Whenever I think about how
her father almost killed you,

makes my blood boil.

If I didn't find you passed
out in front of our gate,

you wouldn't be here.

What did her father do?

You said her family was rich.

I think he was a taffy seller
or ran a taffy factory.

She might have told me.

But I was young back then.
So I have no idea.

Don't see her again. Okay?

I won't.

But...

how come I'm in so much pain?

It's like that for everyone.

People get jealous when
their exes are happy...

and sad when their exes are unhappy.

If they were to live together,
it would be a headache.

I'd rather be jealous.
I want her to be happy.

Why would you suffer because of her?

Don't be ridiculous.

Forget her.

Your life went downhill
after meeting that woman.

Her dad beat you to a pulp,

and she married another man.

Then you had a one-night stand
with your ex-wife out of spite.

You got married and divorced.
Look at you now.

Your life got complicated
after meeting that woman.

There are people you don't mix well with.

A relationship ends with a tragedy.

That's bad luck.

Just have your burger.

Are you going to move out?

Yes.

Can you guys move in here?

Without me, they'll fight all the time.

Mom wants you guys to move in too.

Things aren't ideal for me either.

This is only for your ears.

My mother-in-law is in the ICU.

My gosh. Why?

Do you think it's her time?

I don't know.

She's always been sick.
So it's touch and go.

I can't ask Ba Da to move in here then.

How are you?

You know...

Tell me the truth.

We're both trying our
best to heal our wounds.

We're trying.

But I'm not sure if we
can recover from this.

We were never the lovey-dovey type.

But I feel more distant now.

That gap between us can't be closed.

You know how it is to feel pathetic, right?

I lay down beside him...

but couldn't help but compare
myself to the young girl.

I felt so small and worthless.

I can't believe I'm telling you this.

You have every right to tell me.

I'm your younger brother,
but also a doctor.

You can tell me anything.

Ever since I hit menopause,

I figured I was done being a woman.

His affair put the final
nail in the coffin.

Why am I the one suffering...

when he's the one who had the affair?

Geum Ah, have confidence in yourself.

No one thinks your feminine days are gone.

Fifty isn't even considered old anymore.

It's the new mid-thirties.

Nothing you say can comfort me.

She's 20 years my junior.

Geum Ah, get dressed.
Let's go to the hospital.

Let me give you some treatments.

Get moisturizing shots, a laser
facelift, and Botox shots.

- Let's go right now.
- What good would that do?

It will be comforting and
will boost your confidence.

It's what brings many women to my clinic,

and they're the reason
I put food on the table.

Find your confidence again...

even if it's through the hands of a doctor.

If only something like this never happened.

Will I be able to forget once time passes?

Geum Ah.
- "Fine, you jerk."

"Let's get a divorce."

Isn't it tragic that I
can't divorce my husband?

Why would you think that way?

You're not the reason
you can't divorce him.

No, I'm pathetic.

Nam Chul gave her 100,000 dollars.

- Wait, 100,000 dollars?
- He must love her greatly...

to have put together that kind of money.

He paid her when I should be
the one being compensated.

It wasn't a fling or him fooling around.

He hasn't even apologized to me.

You know how Nam Chul is.

He's a sincere man who
chooses his words wisely.

I'm sure he knows what he did was wrong.

He's better than people who
only apologize in words.

He says he's coming back to me.

But I can tell.

We have a long way to go.

I think it's because
they were pulled apart...

while the relationship was burning hot.

His heart aches because
they can't live together.

Not being able to see
her is driving him crazy.

Maybe I should tell him
to just live with her.

Why would you even think that?

I heard you haven't even
apologized to Geum Ah.

Is it because apologizing...

will make you look guilty?

I can be the guilty party all day long.

But I can't stand the thought of...

people pointing the finger at her.

She's still too young.

Everyone in this world...

can criticize me all they want,

but I want to shield her...

from condemnation.

I can't help it if you see me as a jerk.

That's just how I feel.

I'm Geum Ah's brother, so
I'll always put her first.

You keep talking about her even
though you said it was over.

Aren't you concerned about Geum Ah?

Your sister...

will be my responsibility forever,

and I will make it up to her.

You feel a sense of responsibility for her,

but the other woman is the one you love.

It's not like that.

I'm doing my best.

In life, you sometimes get
swept up by an unexpected storm.

I never imagined...

that anything like this would happen to me.

I never thought...

I'd feel this way about someone else.

The past few months...

don't even seem real to me.

It's as if I was caught
in a devilish storm.

You don't have to take any action.

I'll...

handle it myself.

I heard your family would be moving out.

Please sort things out quickly.

The sooner, the better.

If you keep hurting Geum Ah,

I won't be able...

to take your side.

I'll get going.

Yes, this is Han Ba Da.

What?

They're being returned?

Why? What could be the reason?

Hey, Ba Da.

Eun Kang, what am I going to do?

What's going on? Ba Da?

- What is this all about?
- What am I going to do?

The same kind of jewelry is
being sold on the street.

At 99.90 dollars when mine was 999 dollars.

This is going to ruin me.
What am I going to do?

What about your mom?

The hospital will call
if something happens.

Let's sort this out first.

Jewelry of the same design...

has hit the streets and online sites.

The rubies are low-quality imitations,

but people don't care.

After hearing about the similar design,

they got busy asking for a refund.

Ms. Han,

as you know,

you are legally bound to
give in to this demand.

The police.

Let's go to the police station first.

I must catch who did this.

Eun Kang, get Ki Han for me.

This is obviously linked to
her designs that were stolen.

You failed to apprehend
the culprit, am I right?

A company's fate and one's
life are on the line.

From what I saw regarding
the stolen designs,

she was targeted by a bigger operation.

We must root out whoever is behind this!

But that will take time.

Let's not get worked up.

How can one stay calm?

Why couldn't you catch that person?

It's not easy if they
flee to places like China.

Please get this person.

Please.

Of course.

What is Interpol even doing?

Crimes like this are the worst.

I'm sure Ki Han lent her the money as well.

(6 unread messages)

(07-1sia Ruby Stone has been sent by post.)

What is it?

I'll go.

They're expensive gems,

so someone needs to be
there for the delivery.

I'll receive them at your office.

Please look after Ba Da.

Don't worry.

Cha Won?

Why didn't you come in?

I see that Shin Ki Han is here.

Did she call him first
since he lent her the money?

You should head inside.

I have to be at the office
to receive deliveries.

Then...

Your report has been submitted,
so you may go home for now.

Please...

find whoever did this.

You're here.

Let's go.

Just a second.

Thank you for coming.

I'll repay you for all that you have done.

There's no need to.

It's what friends are for.

A six-figure loan is
larger than any friendship.

A six-figure loan?

How could you do something like this?

This wasn't part of the agreement.

My friend is in the mud because
everyone wants a refund.

Quiet.

You started all this.

Are you threatening me?

I told you I would take action.

Do whatever you want.

But you're the one who stole the design.

Don't forget that you're my accomplice.

It'll be the end for you as well.

I'm hanging up.

How could this happen to me?

What am I going to do?

This isn't chump change.

What is all this?

Rubies and sapphires.

She bought what was in Korea
and imported more from overseas.

But now they're worthless.

Why did you buy so much at once?

They were a hit on the
home-shopping channel,

so she was planning to
launch a series of them.

How much is the loss?

I can't even give you a number.

If 100,000 dollars' worth gets returned,

the loss will be 2 to 3 times that.

Gems differ in price when bought and sold.

It's not the same as gold.

The cost that went into making
the jewelry will have been wasted.

And it takes a lot of
work to even make a ring.

You should've looked into it
before expanding the business.

Stay out of it if you're not going to help.

How can you say that?

You're the one who took
an unnecessary risk.

A business should be run
with the money you have,

not by taking out a loan.

As if you know anything
about running a business.

Ask anyone who is running one.

Taking out loans is a must.

Is that all you can say
when I'm on the verge...

of going bankrupt?

And you call yourself my husband?

I'm upset, that's all!

You shouldn't have taken out a loan.

How can you be so reckless?

Please!

Will you shut it?

Ba Da.

Cha Won, just go. Leave.

Money?

Why are you in sudden need of cash?

This is for your ears only.

Something unfortunate happened to Ba Da...

while trying to expand her
home-shopping business.

What?

Are you saying she's going bankrupt?

No, it's not like that.

Consumers are asking for a refund.

It's the same thing!

My head hurts.

What am I going to do?

- Oh, dear.
- Don't worry.

Ba Da will be fine.

It's not her I'm worried about!

Get out. I can't even look at you.

Why did you stand idly by
and let her go bankrupt?

You should've gotten her to see straight!

Get out. Didn't you hear me?

My gosh.

Oh, no.

What's going to happen to my money?

Have some.

You need to eat to stay energized.

I can't.

You're still young...

and can easily earn a few
hundred thousand dollars.

Have a bite at least.

Thanks, Eun Kang.

Don't cry.

You saw him.

How could my own husband act this way?

Even a stranger would be more sympathetic.

I couldn't have managed without you.

Hang in there. I'm sure you'll find a way.

Let's stay calm and think.

I'm going to catch this person.

I'll find whoever did this.

And I won't be forgiving.

I heard you went bankrupt.

What about my money?

- Mother.
- I see nothing but doom,

but you are filling your belly.

You should've told me as
soon as this happened,

but you had me hear it from Cha Won.

Thank goodness Cha Won is a blabbermouth.

I bet you weren't even going to tell me.

That's not true, Mother.
Things have been too hectic.

I will make sure...

to repay the money I borrowed.
I promise you that.

Give it back right now.

You kissed up to me and
asked me to trust you,

saying that you'd pay
me back with interest.

Please give me some time.

How long will it take?

I can't trust you, so
give it back right now!

Mother, you're being unreasonable.

How so?

Eun Kang, who do you think
is being unreasonable?

Does it make sense...

that she's filling her belly
with gimbap and ramyeon...

after losing her mother-in-law's money?

Do you have any idea where
that money came from?

It's what my father earned...

by working his butt off selling taffy!

And I said I would pay you back.

I'm still your daughter-in-law,

but you treat me worse
than you would a stranger.

Are you worried I'd pocket that money?

Don't you worry.

I'll do whatever I can, even
if I must pay with my life,

to give back the money I borrowed.

My gosh. Look at you glaring at me.

As if you have the right.

Eun Kang, you saw her.

Ms. Na, please leave for now.

Let me escort you home.

You talked me into
lending you that money...

by giving me a massage
and facial treatments.

My money. What's going
to happen to my money?

My money!

I might pass out.

What's going on?

Mom, what's wrong?

What's going on? Where did you meet my mom?

Tell me, Mom.

I can't.

My...

My sweet...

Your what?

My...

What am I going to do?

(VIP Ward)

Cha Won, I'm not as good of a person...

as you think I am.

We shouldn't do this to Ba Da.

Let's end...

whatever we have.

All day, I think only of you.

It lights my heart on fire to
the point it drives me mad.

Ba Da.

We should end it.

What's wrong all of a sudden?

(Type your message.)

(Hold on.)

Hold on.

Give me more time.

(Type your message.)

That's what we'll do.

(That's what we'll do.)

(Han Ba Da)

- Where are you?
- I'm heading out right now.

A way to move on from a man?

Were you in a relationship?

- Were you dumped?
- Yes.

- How did you know?
- The one who did the dumping...

doesn't need to work hard to forget.

Why would someone like you get dumped?

Why wouldn't I get dumped?

You seem like a player who
would do the dumping first.

Should I teach him a lesson?
Who is this guy?

Who's making you suffer?

You're a relationship expert,
so give me some pointers.

Try to think about all his bad qualities.

His bad qualities?

But nothing about him is bad.

It was real for you.

How long were you two together?

Why did you two break up?

Please don't ask me that.

Eun San, at your age,

you believe that love is beautiful.

You find him beautiful...

as well as your time spent
together and even the breakup.

But romantic relationships...

aren't that pretty.

People fall in love to
fulfill their desires,

and no breakups are beautiful.

How can it be beautiful...

when it's the result
of falling out of love?

Movies and novels just
try to paint it that way.

It's wishful thinking by us humans.

So here's my conclusion.

A once-in-a-lifetime relationship...

is also the result of hormones going crazy.

Just accept it.

His hormones are no longer
affected at the sight of you.

I want to know how I can
quickly get over him.

There's no magical solution.

You have to let time do its work.

Someone put up for sale...

brand new camping equipment...

following a divorce.

I'll hand that over to you.

Write a list of things
that you dislike about him.

It won't make you completely
fall out of love with him,

but it'll somewhat help.

What I like about him.

He's super charming.

He's a man of great character.

He's the sweetest.

He's not a picky eater.

His voice is incredible.

He has a great smile.

I want to be in his arms,
and it's driving me crazy.

I feel bad for him.

What I dislike about him.

He's a coward.

(He's a coward.)

If you still find it hard,

show the list to someone
with an objective view.

Let that person talk trash about
him so that reality hits you hard.

Also, force yourself to believe...

that his feelings for you weren't real.

All of that will help.

Delete his phone number
and all traces of him.

Texts, photos, and everything else.

Yes, Father.

Geum Ah left without eating
to look at apartment units.

What is your thought on that?

I'm sorry.

You'd better not still be at it.

I'm not.

Don't forget the memorandum you wrote.

You won't get to see
Chun and Woon ever again.

You understand me, don't you?

(Mul Sang Resources)

- Why are you doing this?
- Divorce her.

Must I repeat myself?

- First...
- First,

you will have nothing once you divorce her.

I don't care. I can earn the money we need.

There isn't a part-time job I haven't done.

Second. The kids?

I don't care. We can be a family of four.

Third. Our age gap? What about it?

That's enough.

Fourth. You said you wanted to protect me.

This is how you show it?

I'm not done yet.

You can't end it this way.

This is why people still call you immature.

You should know when to end a fling.

Move before I say something worse.

A fling?

Do you only care about your kids?

What about me?

I'm going to tell your kids.

- What?
- I'll tell them everything.

Wait and see what happens next.

Don't you dare hurt the kids.

- Don't you dare.
- I have no other choice.

I'm going to tell them.

Not the kids.

Don't you dare.

I will.

No.

No.

No!

If Mom and Dad get divorced,

what will you do?

Are Mom and Dad getting a divorce?

Don't you know the
meaning of the word "if?"

I don't even talk about it.

I'm disappointed in Dad.

Even if all men were like that,
I thought Dad would be different.

All men are the same.

Don't speak too soon.

If Dad really did that, he
must've had his reasons.

You know that he was forced to get
married because of Grandpa, right?

So what?

Shouldn't he take responsibility
if he even had kids with Mom?

Did Dad ever say he wouldn't
take responsibility?

I just mean that we should prepare
ourselves in case something happens.

Who would you...

choose to live with?

I'll choose Mom. What about you?

- Dad.
- Traitor.

I'm sure Grandpa will kick him
out in nothing but his underwear.

I should go with Dad, at least.

I don't like it.

I don't want Mom and Dad to get divorced.

You should try to stop them.

Kids always whisper and bully
you if your parents are divorced.

I don't want that.

I'll give them a piece of my mind!

As if you could. I'll just tell Grandpa.

Do you think telling Grandpa
will solve everything?

What?

You don't even love Mr. Ji.

Just let him come to me.

Mr. Ji is a coward and
won't be able to say it.

Please, Ms. Ko.

I know you are young,

but you really are impossible.

Do you think that's something
you should be saying to me?

I'm sorry.

I came to see you because
I had no other choice.

I lost 3kg within a week.

If you lost 3kg,

how much weight do you think I lost?

You can live without Mr. Ji,

but I can't live without him.

This is the first time for me.

Mr. Ji said it was for him too.

Do you believe that?

A man in his 50s...

with two kids...

just met his first love.
Does that make any sense?

I believe him.

Since you don't trust him at all,

he must've been so lonely.

Please let him go.

Where do you live?

Your parents are there, right?

Do your parents know that
you're acting like this?

They don't.

But I don't care if they do.

Please let me have Mr. Ji.

I think I might die.

I don't care whether you live or die.

I'm sorry, but I can't do that.

That's all I have to say.

Wait, Ms. Ko.

I have something to show you.

- Was it fun?
- Yes.

Our dad's name is...

Ji Nam Chul.

You know who we are, don't you?

You're the adulterer lady, right?

You must be Chun and Woon.

Let's go somewhere and talk.

There's no need to go anywhere.

Why did you meet our mom?

It was just a conversation between adults.

Adult, my foot. You're not
even that much older than me.

Why did you date my dad?

To take money from him?

- My dad doesn't have anything.
- It's not like that.

There's no way you'd like
an old man like my dad!

Don't you dare make things hard for my mom.

I won't let it slide.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want to give you guys a hard time.

Let me just ask you one thing.

Can you take responsibility for our dad?

Why are you asking her that?
She's an adulterer!

Have you ever thought about whether
you could take care of him...

when he got old and frail?

Why would an adulterer take responsibility?

Dad has us and Mom.

Look, adulterer lady.
Don't come near our dad.

If you come to see our mom or
give our dad a hard time again,

I won't let it slide.

All the bullies at my
school are my friends.

You know what that means, right? Let's go.

Even if Dad gets divorced,
he won't be alone.

He'll be bringing us with him.

We're a package deal.

Why are you saying that to an adulterer?

Bye.

Bye.

Don't bow to her, you idiot.

An adulterer.

How could you do this to me?

Do I look like a pushover to you?

Do you think you can stomp all over me...

because I let you have an affair?

I slapped you for the first time.

I held myself back so that I
might hold onto your love...

in any way.

Did you like her so much?

She had followed you to the camping site,

and you comforted her and clung to her.

You even gave her 100,000 dollars.

But you even danced in front
of her in your underwear?

That's why she can't tell
what's right from wrong...

and came to ask me to let you go.

You agreed to move out...

just so you could get away
from my dad's prying eyes...

and see her whenever you wanted, right?

A stupid wife like me would never notice.

I can't even eat or sleep.

When I open my eyes, all I
see is my hair turning gray.

Your first love?

You said that girl was your first love.

You won't even deny it.

How great is your love...

that you're making me feel this pathetic?

What did I do so wrong?

Do you think I'm a joke
because I'm not going crazy...

and asking for a divorce?

How much do you need to crush me?

If you love her so much, then just go.

Go and live with that wench!

Mr. Ji.

Don't come to see my wife.

You can do whatever you want to me,

but don't go near my wife.

I'll pay for my sins.

I beg you.

Mr. Ji.

What brings you here?

I missed you.

I thought I should see you at least once.

I'll hire your taxi for the whole day.

If I had known you'd cry like this,

I would've ordered something with broth.

I never thought you'd come to see me.

I don't know what to say first.

It feels like a dream to
be sitting across from you.

How long have you been driving a taxi?

It's been a few years.

Did you move?

Your old house was in Cheongdam-dong.

When I got married,

we built a new house and
moved to Bangbae-dong.

How many years has it been for us?

This is the first time we've met
since you got married, right?

No.

We met once.

About 12 years ago.

Oh, right. I remember too.

I drank so much that day.

I've gotten...

very old, haven't I?

Don't look at me like that.

I'm embarrassed that I've gotten so old.

"You haven't aged a bit."

"You're still the same."

I can't say that, in all honesty.

It's only natural to age as we get older.

I've gotten old too.

It's been so long.

You're still exactly the same.

You too.

Do you know...

how much I've missed this face?

I missed you too.

The days I spent with you...

were the highlight of my life.

I laughed the most and
felt the happiest then.

I thought I had forgotten.

I thought it was all in the past.

But now that I've met you,

I haven't forgotten any of it.

Me either.

Thank you for being alive, Dae Geun.

What's going on?

I can't tell you.

Can't you even tell your own son?

You're a blabbermouth.

I won't tell anyone.

If your dad finds out, I'll get kicked out.

I really won't tell anyone.

The thing is,

I lent Ba Da some money.

You did?

- How much?
- She said...

I should invest in her business...

and that she'd pay me plenty of interest.

We weren't even close,

but she made an effort to get closer.

She sweet-talked me into
lending her the money.

I gave her all the money I had.

I couldn't even tell anyone about it.

I feel like I might fall ill at this rate.

My dad earned that money...

working himself to the
bone as a taffy vendor.

I had kept it to myself,

so I gave her the money
without your dad's knowledge.

Goodness, my money.

Goodness, my money.

Shin Ki Han lent her the money.

You should eat this at least.
I bought some gimbap for you.

I bought enough to share with everyone.

Thank you.

I'm in the middle of a
meeting with the lawyer.

We decided to take legal action
with the home shopping network.

Hello?

Really?

Okay. I'll be right there.

Eun Kang.

My mom woke up.

She's doing much better
and is out of the ICU now.

But what do I do?

My meeting isn't over yet.

I'll go see her first.

Mother.

You're here.

Where is Ba Da?

She'll be here. She had an urgent meeting.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I must've fainted.

Yes.

You were unconscious for a few days.

I heard from the nurse.

Then do you know why you fainted?

That is...

Do you remember?

I...

can't remember.

Do you really not remember anything?

No.

Try to remember.

I had a stomachache,

so I was thinking I'd go
buy some digestive medicine.

What about after that?

After that,

did I shake off the blankets?

What else?

I don't know. I can't remember.

The IV drip is done. Please
ask them to take it out.

Okay, Mother.

Ba Da will be here right
after her meeting is over.

Yes, I'll be right there.

Read it and take notes.

Okay.

Eun Kang, how is Mom?

She just fell asleep.

She remembers that day and seems fine.

What a relief.

When you watch dramas on TV,

people often get amnesia
and stuff like that.

I was so scared.

Did the meeting go well?

Yes, we'll get Interpol to
help us catch the culprit.

This isn't the first time
that CEO committed fraud.

Right. I'm sure it'll go well.

I'll be going. I have to go to work.

Okay, thanks.

Mom, are you awake?

Where is Eun Kang?

Eun Kang just left. Should I call her?

No.

I pretended to fall asleep
on purpose because of her.

Why? Is something wrong?

Ba Da. You believe me, right?

Whatever I say, you'll
believe me, won't you?

Of course.

Mom, why are you shaking? What is it?
Should I get the doctor?

No.

I saw it.

I saw it with my own eyes.

What? What did you see?

They were hugging and kissing.

In the playground of our apartment complex.

Who?

- No way...
- It's true.

Cha Won and Eun Kang.

I saw them with my own eyes.

I was confronting them about it
when my breath caught in my chest.

And after that, I can't remember.

Just now, I told Eun Kang that
I didn't remember anything.

She scares me.

I feel like she might do anything.

How can she be so brazen?

I won't leave those two alone.

You stay out of it.

As soon as I get better,

I'll take care of those two.

They deserve to be punished.

Please call for a caretaker.

Right now.

I've been waiting for your call.

Let me ask you directly.

You told me...

not to trust the people closest to me.

That Eun Kang was a scary person.

What did you mean by that?

Did something happen?

Answer me.

Did that have...

something to do with Cha Won?

You finally caught on.

You're usually quick with other things.

Tell me everything you know.

It's as you already know.

The fact that you came to see me
must mean you found something out.

I can tell.

Maybe you weren't confident
enough to face the truth.

You have a hunch, but you're
afraid of confirming it.

So you keep pushing it off.

I was like that too, at first.

I don't know about how Ko Cha Won feels,

but I do know about how Cho
Eun Kang feels, for sure.

I don't know how far those two have gotten,

but in their hearts, they
probably already did everything.

Cho Eun Kang is...

a lot more meticulous than you think...

and skilled at telling lies.

She could do just about anything.

You saw how she caused
a scene at my wedding.

Who would've imagined
she'd do such a thing?

Before you get foolproof evidence
and confront her with it,

she would never admit it.

You don't...

still think of her as your friend, do you?

(Cho Eun Kang)

I found Ddolbang.

I'm on my way now.

Please insert your card.

Call me if anything happens.

Go home.

I'll call you if anything changes.

Okay.

When I met you ten years ago,

you became my first balloon.

My heart...

is filled with a million balloons.

We've both obviously sinned,

but could we call it a beautiful mistake?

I won't forget this night
until the day I die.

My dear first balloon.

(Red Balloon)

You tore me apart and acted up.

You scumbag!

- Get out this instant!
- Let's see who's right and wrong.

Wanting someone you know you can't have.

I know how crazy it can make you feel.

Do you resent me?

I don't.

I'll take custody and parental rights.

If it's too much to handle,
just give it all to me.

Let me handle my own part.

It wasn't a mistake.
