This is so cute.

It really suits your style.

Just what I'd expect from a manager at Kunhyang Fashion.

I'll show you this when you start as our new designer.

Yes, of course, Manager.

A music box?

It's my most prized possession.

It looks like an antique.

When I was little, I couldn't sleep without this little thing.

Now, when I can't sleep,

I play it instead of taking a sleeping pill.

Like a lullaby?

What's wrong?

It's nothing. I have a similar music box.

One that plays the exact same song.

What a coincidence. You don't see many in this style.

I guess they were popular back then.

When I was a kid and I'd get fussy,

my mom would sing me that same song as a lullaby.

She said it was the only way I'd fall asleep.

I guess all moms are alike.

Even Chairman Gong?

She's a mother, after all.

(Episode 20)

It still doesn't feel like my room.

Even after 25 years,

Mom still hasn't come back.

Hush now, hush now, my sweet baby

- You're sleeping so soundly - I love your lullabies, Mom.

Su A, can't you sleep?

Isn't that the thing that plays music?

Is it the lullaby Young Sun used to sing for you?

What's on your mind?

Young Chae.

You liked her even more than I did, didn't you?

Let me.

But what about now?

Have you had...

a change of heart?

And why would my dear son think that?

I'm starting to get worn out.

Even my own mother, whom I thought was my biggest supporter,

is starting to look at Young Chae...

with disapproval.

Maybe you shouldn't drink so much.

No one can win against time.

I can see myself aging every day.

You're still beautiful.

No, you get more beautiful every day.

You're lying.

I'm not lying.

I mean it.

In my eyes,

you're the most beautiful woman in the world.

There's probably no man who can lie as charmingly as you do.

About our future daughter-in-law...

Hasn't she passed the last test yet?

I thought it was.

But things just keep coming up.

She's innocent and graceful,

and very warm-hearted, that's true.

Something feels off, doesn't it?

Should we postpone the wedding?

Not just anyone would do that.

She wasn't even a close friend,

but you let her stay at your place, gave her food, and clothes.

The more people have, the more they want.

Their greed just grows and grows.

That must be what happened with Cha Jung Won.

You poor thing.

Goodness. You must be upset.

You have such a comforting, motherly scent.

I told you we should postpone the wedding.

No.

Let's move it up.

The kids' wedding.

Why?

We should judge our daughter-in-law for who she is and trust our gut.

That's the right thing to do.

These external matters...

are for us, the adults, to resolve.

Let's not make...

their lives any harder.

Gosh.

I wonder if Park Kyung Shin is asleep.

Don't get any funny ideas.

Hey, we're on the same side.

It's not fair to not even let me move.

It's unbelievable how relaxed he is.

Seriously, how can he sleep after everything?

Young Chae and Park Kyung Shin are sleeping like babies,

while we're just sitting here wide awake.

I can't sleep. How about a glass of wine?

No drinking on the job. Stop bothering me and shut up.

Fine, suit yourself.

What a magnificent aroma!

It's like a party in my mouth.

Are instant noodles against the rules too?

Maybe I'll just make one.

One's never enough. Two packs are the only way to go!

Back when I was job hunting, I was always hungry no matter what.

Whenever my allowance ran out,

I'd always get this weird craving for instant noodles.

But it wasn't soju I wanted.

It was cheap convenience store wine. I have no idea why I craved it.

Go on, have a taste.

Instant noodles with fine wine like this?

It's a meal fit for a king.

I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I'm good.

All right, suit yourself.

Wait.

You'll get sick if you fight your cravings.

We do all this just to put food on the table.

Come on, you can't just have one.

Here. You've got to have at least three glasses.

I told you, no funny business.

It's not for you. The last glass is mine.

I'm going to savor every last drop.

You're not even going to ask if I slept well?

Sit up straight.

Will this only end if I die?

Then just get it over with.

I just want to rest.

In my head, I've killed you a dozen times over.

Stop with the act.

I'm losing the little pity I had for you.

Hey, Joo Young Chae, you're pitying me? That's rich.

Go ahead, ask anyone on the street.

Right now, between the two of us,

who do they think is more pathetic?

So you think I'm the pathetic one?

Yes.

Who are you to pity me?

Haven't you ever heard of breakup etiquette?

How could you betray me?

Even love has an expiration date.

Your obsession just made it expire sooner.

Take a look in the mirror. Look at the state you're in.

It's pathetic.

The state I'm in right now?

I can't believe it myself.

This feels like a nightmare.

But Kyung Shin.

You don't get to feel sorry for me.

Your life...

is in my hands now.

Why didn't you answer your phone? I was worried sick.

Kunhyang's youngest, Jin Se Mi,

saw Joo Ha Neul and your dad together.

Vice Chairman Han Hye Ra showed up then, too.

You've got to be kidding me.

Let me go!

We don't have time for this.

Noh Min Gu has escaped.

He escaped? Are you sure?

I searched the other rooms, but...

The number you have called is unavailable.

You will be forwarded to voicemail.

That punk.

How dare he ignore my call?

CEO Joo...

Drop the formality.

Vice Chairman Han asked...

if you and I were planning to get married?

Did she?

Yes.

I gave her a vague answer.

As for your father,

I think we should tell him the truth soon.

I'll handle it before things get more complicated.

I'll do it.

Your dad is going to be so disappointed.

Are you seriously worried about my dad,

Cha Ki Beom, right now?

- You're worried? - I don't want him to get hurt.

If we keep lying,

we'll have to pile on bigger lies.

It'll become a mountain of lies.

Is there anyone who doesn't lie?

No one.

But...

I just don't think a lie should become a swamp.

A swamp?

You mean the more you struggle,

the deeper you sink into it?

At least, from one of the families,

you must get out of this swamp of lies,

Joo Young Chae.

You got drunk on just a bit of wine and let that little rat get away?

Mom, that's enough.

It's not Manager Gu's fault.

That punk Noh Min Gu tricked him.

He's been through so much for us.

So why did you involve a guy like that?

You think Noh Min Gu is just going to keep his mouth shut?

That you're Joo Young Chae, not Cha Jung Won,

and that you convinced him into kidnapping Park Kyung Shin.

He's going to be blabbing it all over town.

How are you going to deal with the fallout from that?

I hated Park Kyung Shin so much that I wanted to kill him.

But I couldn't do anything alone, so what choice did I have?

My goodness. To think my daughter, Joo Young Chae,

has turned into a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment?

I will handle this, Chairman.

- And how are you going to do that? - Please, just leave it to me.

You get one chance to make up for your mistake.

Don't you forget it!

Yes, Chairman.

This tofu's texture is like meat. In fact, it's even better than meat!

Why don't you have some too?

Watching you enjoy your meal is filling enough for me, Chairman.

You sound just like a grandma.

Right. You said it's because you're possessed by a grandma's spirit.

Yes, ma'am, that's right.

Is she really all that?

How did she predict that one of them would escape?

The old woman says,

- Go on. - one is fated to be a fugitive,

and the other is fated to die.

I'm just the messenger for what she says.

So, then...

Is the one who's fated to die...

a man or a woman?

Revealing heaven's secrets too often will shorten my own life, Chairman.

For today, please enjoy your meal and get your strength back.

I just gave you the money, and this is what I get?

You want to get struck dead for flashing money around like that?

It's always money with you! I should break your wrist!

Goodness!

I'm sorry, Grandma! I'm sorry!

I nearly choked on my tofu.

That startled me.

Gosh, seriously...

Goodness!

Are these my shoes?

Was he hiding them as a surprise for me?

Wait, are these Ki Beom's?

These white shoes...

But you love white shoes.

- Try them on. - What?

I only wore them to play guitar. People would make fun of me now.

Who cares what they think? What matters is what you think.

I like them too.

You do? And what about you?

I like them too.

You do?

Since you both like them, I like them too.

Here you go.

I'm hungry. Get me some food.

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

You must've loved the white shoes Han Young Sun picked.

You bought them behind my back.

What are you talking about? I didn't buy them.

Have you been seeing Han Young Sun again?

Why would I see her again?

Then did they fall from the sky or pop out of the ground?

Look...

As a matter of fact, they did fall from the sky. Why?

What are you saying?

Joo Ha Neul.

That kid with the hiccups...

gave them to me as a gift.

CEO Joo Ha Neul did?

Are you serious?

For goodness' sake.

- Hey. - Goodness.

He said they were for me, his future father-in-law.

He bought them for me at the department store.

They're a really special gift, then. What have I done?

And to think I treated them so poorly...

That poor hiccuping boy. He must be going through so much.

I'm hungry. Give me some food.

Whatever.

Did you find out where Noh Min Gu is?

I have to go there right now.

Go on. Don't worry about me.

I won't leave Park Kyung Shin and run away, Manager Gu.

You put a GPS tracker on me, remember?

You've probably bugged me too, haven't you?

Just stay here.

It's safer for you here.

I won't get you into trouble again.

Go catch Noh Min Gu.

Yes.

Noh Min Gu is at my house.

(From Joo Young Chae 1, Noh Min Gu is at my house.)

Look at this...

The pitiful, penniless Cha Jung Won...

has really managed to reinvent herself.

What are you doing here?

Gosh, listen to that attitude.

You're just like Joo Young Chae.

No, actually, you're way better than her.

The person who worked with her to hide Park Kyung Shin...

was you, wasn't it?

Where is Park Kyung Shin now?

Hey, why are you worried about him? Joo Young Chae can handle it.

You...

Did Joo Young Chae cut you loose?

I wasn't sure who the prisoner was.

I barely made it out of there alive.

Escape?

Where were you?

I'm not telling you for free.

What do you want?

Help me get out of the country.

You want me to help a criminal like you?

Look who's talking.

What about you? You're nothing but a bundle of lies.

You're trying to steal her life to marry into a rich family.

Do you think you're pure as the driven snow?

Stop pretending you're a swan.

You're just a crow.

And if I refuse?

You insolent brat! Are you out of your mind?

Are you trying to ruin this wedding?

Are you trying to destroy our family?

(Kunhyang Group, Han Hye Ra)

(Vice Chairman Han Hye Ra)

(No Caller ID)

Who is this?

Cha Jung Won?

If you refuse?

I've got nothing to lose. I'm dead either way.

Then I'll take you down with me, Cha Jung Won.

Darn it!

Do you just appear out of thin air?

You're everywhere at once.

You're acting like you're Joo Young Chae's guardian angel.

CEO Joo Ha Neul.

Do you have a thing for Cha Jung Won?

Shut up.

What's your game, Noh Min Gu?

Don't worry. I'm not here to reminisce about some old flame.

Where are Young Chae and Park Kyung Shin?

Darn it.

Why don't you ask...

your formidable mother, Chairman Gong?

My mother has them both?

Goes to show you can't see what's right under your nose.

I can't tell you where they are.

I don't have a death wish.

But...

if you help me flee the country,

I promise...

I'll never tell anyone that Cha Jung Won is an impostor.

I'll take that secret to my grave.

We should report that scum and have him locked up.

And how am I any different?

That's what Noh Min Gu said.

He asked whether I would still be pure and innocent if I stole...

Young Chae's life to marry into a rich family.

Get rid of Noh Min Gu for me.

Far away.

It's the only way I can truly live as Joo Young Chae.

No...

It's the only way I'll be able to breathe.

You want me to help him for you?

You're not scared anymore?

Not afraid at all?

I am scared.

I'm terrified.

But...

stronger than my fear...

is my desire to live...

as Joo Young Chae completely and without anyone getting in my way.

Please, help me, Ha Neul.

(Kunhyang Group)

- It's pitch-black. - Leave the lights off.

You're either fearless or you're crazy.

One of the two.

To come all this way to find me yourself.

And here I thought you were supposed to be so gentle and kind.

Appearances can be deceiving.

Didn't that ever occur to you that I could be even scarier...

than Chairman Gong Nan Sook?

You think this is going to scare me?

If you were to know who I really was,

you'd probably pass out.

I know exactly who you are.

Cha Jung Won.

You're a daughter of Cha Ki Beom and Jo Mi Hyang,

and you're the one who kidnapped Park Kyung Shin.

You're wrong.

I am not Cha Jung Won.

Then who are you?

Who are you?

Joo Young Chae.

I'm the real daughter of Gong Nan Sook.

I am Joo Young Chae.

(A Graceful Liar)

Do you know where this guy Noh Min Gu is?

He's right under your nose.

He definitely said Noh Min Gu was right under my nose.

Then it must be the company, the house, or here.

Whether you break down the door...

or drill the lock, just open it now.

I know I shouldn't,

but I still want to get on.

Why? What's great about a swing?

You get to go so high. It's like you have wings.

I'm sorry it was all a lie, Dad.

You're saying you're not marrying Joo Ha Neul?

It was a lie.

CEO Joo and I never even dated,

let alone being engaged.
