Original subtitles

Is my wife, Kang Mi Ri...

your real daughter,

Kang Seung Yeon?

Kang Mi Ri and Kang Seung Yeon.

Are they...

the same person?

Please tell me.

Are they the same person?

Is it really...

the truth?

Mother.

I told you not to look for her.

I said she grew up under a better mom than me.

So I told you to leave her alone.

Please...

Please tell me this is not true.

You're not able to handle the truth.

So why did you bother to find her?

Why did you find her?

You're right.

Kang Mi Ri is my daughter.

I knew the truth would be revealed someday.

But I didn't expect this day to come this quickly.

However,

I didn't want you to find out about it.

But I'm glad...

you were the first to know.

"Glad"?

Are you saying you're glad...

that I married your daughter?

You're the one...

who chose to marry her.

You should've told me.

You should've told me first!

Then what?

Could you not have married your wife?

The truth was going to put all of us in misfortune anyway.

Even if you hadn't married her, knowing she was my daughter.

Even if you know that she's my daughter now,

things wouldn't be different.

That is why I was against it.

I even hit you to make you stop.

So why didn't you listen to me?

- Mother! - Don't yell at me.

I...

watched you two in torment and shock...

that was much worse than how you feel now.

The daughter I gave birth to, and the son I raised.

The two of you met by some inexplicable destiny...

and fell in love with each other.

As if I was punished by the heavens,

you came and told me that you'd marry each other.

Would you be able to bear it if you were me?

Right.

There's only one conclusion to this.

I'm being punished.

Whatever the reasons were, I abandoned my daughter.

Raising someone else's son like he was my own,

I lived a life full of hypocrisy.

Mother, I...

loved you with all my heart.

I know.

You did.

That is why it's driving me even crazier.

It wouldn't be this painful...

if I had conspired with my daughter...

to live off someone so naive as you until the day I die.

Then...

did Mi Ri know about this?

Did she know...

that you're her mother?

Don't blame her.

Did you two...

know all about this,

but choose not to tell me?

I'm going to take full responsibility.

She's a pitiful child.

Don't blame Mi Ri.

(Junior Managing Director's Office)

Where did you say Mr. Han went?

He went outside to attend his offsite business in the morning.

I heard he slept in his office last night too.

His secretary told me.

He was in his office all night...

and left when I came to work.

Didn't he say anything else?

No, nothing much.

I guess he's very busy.

Do you know what's keeping him busy?

I'm not sure. I wasn't told anything.

He didn't give us any particular instructions either.

I see.

The person you have called cannot be reached.

(Junior Managing Director Kang Mi Ri)

Did you know your chief editor is was divorced?

Yes, I told you many times already.

I'm more stunned the more I think about it.

I met his ex-wife too.

- What, his ex-wife? - Yes.

Hey, do you think this is Hollywood or what?

This is Seoul, so what?

Dating a divorced man wasn't enough...

that you even met his ex-wife too?

Have you lost your senses?

I worked like crazy to educate you,

so why in the world would you date a divorced man?

What's wrong with that? Can't I date a divorced man?

No. Over my dead body.

Why can't I?

Are you belittling people who are divorced?

I mean, there are plenty of divorced people in Korea.

It's not like they got divorced because they're nuts.

They did because they had their concerns and circumstances.

Not my child.

I don't care whether other people get divorced or married,

but not my daughter.

I won't be your daughter then.

- What? - I won't be your daughter.

Just have me removed from the family register.

What did you just say?

Fine, you brat.

Fine, I'll remove you from my family register.

- I'll cut ties with you. - Goodness.

I'll tear your birth report into pieces...

and get rid of your ID card.

You and I are not family anymore.

- Mom. - No, just go back in my womb.

- No, Mom. - Go back in.

Go back in. Go back in already.

- Mother! - Let go!

Mother, wait.

- Calm down. - Goodness.

Goodness, gracious.

That little brat...

Bang Jae Bum.

Did you tell my mom that Mr. Kim was divorced?

No.

Don't lie. How else did she find out about it?

Don't blame Jae Bum. He's innocent.

He told me about it.

That chief editor at least has some conscience.

He came and told me himself.

Did he come here?

Is he the only one you care about?

- Mother, calm down. - Come over here.

- Mother. - I mean...

- Move. - I'm sorry, Mother.

Jae Bum bought bread again today.

Sun Ja, that banana-flavored milk is Mi Hye's favorite.

Whatever. She should just starve to death.

Jae Bum.

Did you want to give this bread to Mi Hye since yesterday?

Yes.

This is also Mi Hye's favorite.

She's got to eat carbohydrates whenever she's gloomy.

Goodness, you fool.

Don't be so mad, Sun Ja.

We'll eat up all this bread.

Min Ho, let's hurry and eat.

- Okay. - I know you like bread.

That's right. Thank you for the bread.

Gosh, this is so soft and delicious.

I think this is freshly baked.

- It's delicious, right? - Yes, it's really good.

Where are you going?

Well,

let me go to the bathroom.

Come back out soon.

- Don't weep in the bathroom. - Okay.

Sun Ja, Mi Hye likes this bread too.

Why don't you try a bite?

Get it away from me.

I knew this would happen.

[VIU Ver] KBS2 E75 'My Prettiest Daughter in the World' "The Shocking Truth" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What?

Bang Jae Bum.

Eat up.

(Kim Tae Joon)

Father.

I'm fleeing to America.

I wanted to bring you the first edition myself.

I won't be able to do that.

But instead of me,

Kang Mi Hye will bring it to you.

Thank you...

for introducing me to such a great writer.

(Kim Tae Joon)

Woo Jin. Are you really going to leave?

How many times must I tell you?

I bought a ticket for next week.

What about work?

We have no problem staying in touch.

Proofreading's almost done,

and the cover design's complete.

Hee Jin recommended a good typesetter.

I contacted them.

You'll do a great job with PR and marketing.

This is so not fair.

Help me out here.

You tell Mi Hye.

She knows I'm leaving. What more is there to say?

She doesn't know you're leaving so soon.

After you came clean to her mother,

have you talked to her?

No. What's the point?

It's over anyway.

Do you feel better?

Not at all.

Don't just follow your conscience.

It'll drive you crazy.

If you're going to leave,

meet her and say goodbye properly.

Help Mi Hye deal with her feelings.

To be honest, what did you do for her...

since saying you like her?

Acting rude, being nasty,

hiding your feelings and rejecting her?

If you must leave,

say goodbye even if it's to get over each other.

You need to have fond memories...

to wrap things up and control your feelings.

I'm going downstairs.

- Welcome home. - Hi.

How were things today?

Was it hard working today?

No, not at all.

It wasn't hard at all.

- Mom. - Yes, Da Bin.

Did you have fun today?

Mom.

What's wrong? Can I put my bag down first?

Da Bin.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Da Bin.

Your mom's tired.

You should let her go, shouldn't you?

You're a good girl, Da Bin.

Okay.

Good for you.

You're such a good girl.

So your mom can rest,

why don't you go and sit quietly over there?

Okay.

Did you find the time to have dinner?

No, not yet. I'll eat now.

Oh, dear.

I had so much to do...

that I couldn't prepare dinner.

What?

Da Bin wanted...

to go to all these places and play all day.

I had to take her around...

and I forgot to cook dinner, you see.

Okay.

It's fine. I'll just eat what's in the fridge.

Okay.

I wasn't able to do much cleaning up either.

Da Bin kept clinging to me asking for cuddles.

I was so tired...

that when Da Bin had a short nap,

I ended up falling asleep as well.

I apologize.

That's fine. It happens.

I don't mind as long as you two get along.

That's the right answer.

When you spend all day with a child,

oftentimes you get utterly exhausted.

I will go home now then.

- So, Ms. Park. - Yes?

I called you earlier today.

Your line was busy.

Did you call me?

Oh, dear.

You called many times.

My phone doesn't work sometimes.

My phone is so old...

so this happens a lot.

I sometimes even miss calls.

Do you?

I'll get going now.

- Thanks for your help. - Sure.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

Da Bin.

You should've changed as soon as you got home.

Why are you still in your uniform?

I don't know.

Da Bin. Jung Da Bin.

What's wrong now?

My gosh.

Why are all these out here?

I tell her to put them away but she never listens.

I keep telling her not to leave...

her clothes here.

She'll be the death of me.

Where were you all this time?

My gosh.

What now?

I asked you to do the chores if you come home early.

If our kid's with a babysitter,

come home and help out.

Do you love staying outside by yourself?

Do you think I stay outside because I want to?

Then what?

That helper or babysitter woman...

gives me the evil eye if I'm at home.

What?

She cooked for me just once when I came home early,

and after that,

whenever I'm home early, she asks if I haven't eaten...

and makes me feel uncomfortable.

It's so awkward that I went out and came home when you'd be back.

What else should I do until you're home?

Without my bike, all I can do is jog along the river.

This is crazy.

- You asked to see me, Mother? - Yes, come in.

What did you do?

Did you tell the babysitter to stop coming?

No, I wasn't able to yet.

Why not?

Tell her to stop coming right away.

I told you she's weird.

Still, Mother,

I asked Da Bin and she said everything's okay.

A few things about her bother me,

but it could just be that it's still a new arrangement.

And most of all,

it's really hard to find someone new.

You'll let someone like her stay on because of that?

If I fire her now,

I don't have a plan B to fall back on.

Mi Sun.

It's still not right.

Tell her to quit this instant.

Mother.

Only good things come from listening to your elders.

How good a judge of character do you think you are?

I'm right.

You could be wrong.

What? How dare you?

Are you ignoring your mother-in-law...

and defending your helper?

I'm not defending her.

What is this if it's not defending?

I saw with my own two eyes...

that she doesn't do her job.

See one thing about a person and you've seen the rest too.

But in my current situation...

Your situation isn't what's important.

How can you entrust Da Bin with her?

If I fire her right away,

it's not like you'll babysit Da Bin for me.

What?

Are you really...

bringing up a dead topic?

Please, Mother.

If you won't babysit Da Bin,

I'd like you to stop complaining about the babysitter.

I'm letting her stay because I have no other option.

I'm not stupid.

I'll sort things out myself.

Fine then.

I get it.

Fine. Do whatever you want.

Mother.

Well,

I know you'll do what's best.

But I told you clearly...

that she's no good.

It's no use to sigh like that.

Here, take these Korean melons...

and feed Jin Soo and Da Bin.

And get some rest.

Go on.

Okay. Thank you.

My goodness.

I want to help but she just won't listen.

What's the matter?

You just stayed in your room the whole time.

And now you're asking what's going on?

I thought you were squabbling with Mi Sun.

I didn't want to get involved in it,

so I stayed inside.

I wasn't squabbling with her.

We were just talking about Da Bin's babysitter.

I told you to let Mi Sun take care of it.

I couldn't let her take care of it.

This is about Da Bin.

I heard Da Bin was doing okay with her.

When did you hear that?

I just hear things that I need to hear.

Just leave her alone, okay?

Like Mi Sun said,

if you're not looking after Da Bin again,

just stay out of her business.

She'd think you just like to meddle in...

without helping her.

Mi Sun should get on...

the babysitter's good side for Da Bin.

If you keep interfering,

it will just make Mi Sun and the babysitter uncomfortable.

It will do them no good.

Leave all that to Mi Sun.

It's about her daughter.

I'm sure she will manage it all right.

Oh, right.

It's good.

Now that you don't do anything, you should tail the babysitter.

What? Tail her?

Yes. You should tail her.

You should follow her around...

to see if Da Bin's doing okay.

See where she's taking Da Bin...

and if she mistreats Da Bin.

You should tail her and check stuff like that.

What?

Why don't you do that yourself?

My face has already been exposed.

Gosh, what about your face?

Now you want me to be...

your private detective?

You have nothing to do.

I should just go out. I'll be out.

I should be out.

You can go out, but you can never drive.

She just can't stand it when her husband is home.

She gets upset when I go out,

and she tries to shove me around when I'm home.

My goodness.

I'll just let it go. Patience is a virtue.

I'll just put up with her.

Hello?

Oh, look who's calling.

It's you, Byung Ho.

How have you been?

Ji Soo, make sure to display these first.

Okay. Aren't we supposed to display these too?

Of course we are. They should be displayed together.

I guess we will finish work quickly today.

I agree. With Na Do Jin around,

everything is going so smoothly.

It's all thanks to...

Ms. Kang, I mean Director Kang.

Shall we have dinner with Director Kang...

since it's been a while?

Shall we?

Director Kang.

Yes? We're almost done, right?

Yes.

So I was thinking...

Thank you for your hard work.

You can eat anything you want today.

You should call Mr. Kim and Min Hye and have dinner together.

Okay. So are you and Director Han coming too?

Director Han is too busy.

And I have a plan tonight, so I should get going.

Have fun.

Okay.

Let's go.

(Personnel Manager, Kim Sung Oh)

I think you will be treated in a way...

that reflects your abilities in this company.

- Pardon? - From now on, Hansung Group...

will break down nepotism.

Are you telling me to leave the company?

It's for Tae Ju.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Well...

Why all of a sudden?

I didn't do anything wrong except that incident.

Is it hard for you to work...

without Tae Ju and President Jeon's help?

No.

Still, my nephews and nieces haven't got their jobs.

And my kid is still young.

That's why I'm introducing you to this company.

You will get better treatment there.

Well... Gosh.

I believe you can do this.

I mean, you have to do this.

You say your kid is still young.

You can't count on Tae Ju...

and President Jeon the rest of your life.

You shouldn't do that.

I'm aware of that.

But it's...

If you want to get out of this situation,

you should work on your own...

and make money on your own efforts.

It's a good job.

I believe you'll make it.

Okay.

Thank you for saying that.

But the situation is... I mean...

I need more time to think about it.

You have to listen to me...

to get away from Chairman Han Jong Soo.

Why did you not tell me it's the chairman...

who's looking for Kang Seung Yeon?

Hiding doesn't solve anything.

You should've been honest with me.

Well...

I was afraid you'd be in trouble.

If...

none of this happened,

if the chairman didn't ask you to look for her,

Kang Seung Yeon... I mean,

President Jeon's daughter.

Would you have tried...

to look for her?

I'm not sure.

Still, if I don't want to...

make another false report like this,

I will probably have to look for Seung Yeon.

The chairman won't try to look for Seung Yeon for the time being.

- Pardon? - So please don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

Stop looking for her.

Okay. I get it.

Do you want to tell me something?

What? Well... No.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes. I'm going to meet a friend and go out for some air.

What? Are you expecting me to give you some money?

Pardon?

Tae Ju is tender-hearted, so he might've given you some money,

but I'm not like him.

I hate it when those who don't work are full.

I didn't ask you for money.

Why would you say that?

Soo Kyung, what are you doing?

Director Kang, I'll see you around.

Didn't you say you wanted to become a makeup artist?

Yes. Why?

Are you sure that's what you want to do?

Isn't it that you want to do it...

because it sounds cool and you don't have to study?

What did you say? Excuse me.

Even now, top makeup artists are...

working hard to learn more.

Even while you go out for air with your friends.

- Excuse me. - Soo Kyung.

Do you think you have talent?

What?

What do you know about me?

Have you lost your mind?

Hey.

Now that you give us some money, do you think we're beggars?

Soo Kyung, stop it.

It's a makeup academy that someone I know runs.

Sign up for it and get some professional training.

I've talked to them already, so if you go there,

they will train you properly watching you closely...

so you can't do anything else.

Gosh.

Professional is nothing special.

It means they're good enough to make people want to pay.

Take this opportunity to become a professional woman.

Instead of lamenting your misfortune in your mom's restaurant.

I'll wish you good luck then.

Bye.

So are you going to let Mi Ri get her own way?

It's your brother's fault.

What am I supposed to do?

This is why I told you to make your family behaves.

Are you taking your daughter-in-law's side now?

It's not that I'm taking her side.

I mean Director Kang is not wrong about this.

What is she not wrong about?

That she's firing all my family?

That she's going to ditch anyone who is on your side?

Are you going to keep taking things the wrong way?

I'm just saying that your family should behave...

with discretion for the time being.

Try not to cause...

any discomfort to Ms. Kang.

Honey.

You have changed.

I'm disappointed in you, Honey.

I'm going to sleep in my own room for a while.

Don't even dare sleep with me.

Oh, my goodness.

All the women around me are driving me crazy.

You've heard about it too, right?

How Ms. Kang took care of Hye Mi's brother.

Yes, I have.

Ms. Kang is really something else.

She has already set everything to establish Tae Ju...

as chairman.

She is much better than Jeon In Suk.

I might as well...

get rid of Jeon In Suk...

and quickly promote Ms. Kang instead.

That way...

I'll be able to also get rid of Ms. Jeon's terrible family.

I'm home, Mother.

Have you eaten?

Eat?

If you were going to ask me such a question,

you shouldn't have been so rude.

You also belong in the same category as Jeon In Suk.

You're so full of yourself.

You think you're so noble and competent.

So you don't even want to associate with such a vulgar person like me.

I've never thought of you that way.

And I have no intention to play noble.

What?

This place is like muddy water.

So I won't play clean by myself.

You're finally showing your true colors.

Are you suggesting that we play dirty?

Do you think you can possibly beat me?

Fine.

You started this whole thing first.

You messed with my family first.

Don't be upset after you get humiliated.

Your family has bothered Tae Ju...

from a great while ago.

How dare you talk back to me every single time?

I don't want to cause any trouble in this family.

And nor do I have the intention to defy you.

I just want to lead the company...

with Tae Ju. That's all.

Your mind is full of the thought about becoming...

the lady of this house.

Then I'll go upstairs.

Hey, hey. Where do you think you're going?

Get down here! Get down here at once!

How dare you.

(Episode 76 will air shortly.)

Get out. I said get out.

(Episode 76)

What happened?

- Gosh, you idiot. - That hurts.

Didn't I tell you not to overdo it?

- I told you to keep it low! - All right.

Seriously, stop hitting me. I'm sorry.

Do Jin.

You should do some digging about Kang Mi Ri.

Director Kang Mi Ri?

Yes, especially about her family.

Would there be such a thing to dig about?

Her mom is a mere owner of an ox-bone soup restaurant.

That's what makes it even more frustrating.

She's not anyone important.

She bluffs her way through with her husband on her back.

She is so insolent.

Then how are you going to push her out of our ways?

Do you think you are competent enough to beat her?

Do you think it's possible?

All right. I'll look into it.

I don't know what I'm going to find out about her.

Should I do a sanitary inspection on her or something?

We can't make an ally of her at this point anyway.

Kang Mi Ri decided to take her own path.

So we need something...

that will drag her down.

You stopped looking for Jeon In Suk's daughter anyway.

Since you got fired from work, you have plenty of time.

Gosh, I said I get it.

My gosh.

I tried not to call you.

I'm sorry.

Do you perhaps know where Tae Ju is?

I can't get in touch with him all day.

Didn't he...

call you?

No, he didn't.

I see.

I'm just worried...

that something may have happened to him.

Don't worry about him.

He will be okay.

So try to ease your mind.

You being like this...

won't be of any help...

to me nor Mi Ri.

Don't be like this.

Your wife might notice.

Mother.

I guess I'm still a mother to you.

If you don't want to call me Mother,

you don't have to do it anymore.

But...

don't abandon your wife.

She's a pitiful kid.

You chose her.

You stopped her when she wanted to leave instead of marrying you.

How could the two of you...

lie to me?

I...

stopped her.

She struggled frantically...

to tell you the truth, so I stopped her.

I told her to just go study abroad.

The only thing I had was money, so I offered her money...

and told her to go study abroad...

so we could be strangers again just like we always had been.

I don't understand that part either.

How could you do such a thing to your own daughter?

I wonder how many times...

I must make this confession before I die.

You know what?

I didn't even recognize her at first.

My daughter was standing right in front of me,

but I didn't know and just thought that she was a bold girl.

She sent me signals.

She struggled so much...

to make me recognize her...

like she'd forgive me for everything if I did.

But I...

didn't even believe it until I confirmed it myself.

Stop.

This is enough.

Whether we are family...

or strangers,

you deceived me.

And the daughter you gave birth to.

And the son whom you raised.

You abandoned them both.

You abandoned your children twice.

Right.

So keep it a secret from her.

I don't want her to know...

that you're aware of this.

And lastly,

do you know?

I abandoned my daughter to raise you.

And my daughter abandoned me to marry you.

Our relationship is a mess already.

It can't be restored.

We're the worst enemies toward each other.

Still, I'm her mother.

Even after all that happened, I'm still her mother.

Don't hurt my daughter.

If you do,

I won't forgive you.

Da Bin, what did I tell you?

I told you to hurry up.

We missed the shuttle bus...

because you were too slow.

How will you go to kindergarten now?

I'm busy like crazy.

I don't have time to take you to kindergarten by taxi.

Goodness, follow me outside quickly.

Your mom will be unhappy if I demand her the taxi fare later.

Come out quickly.

Goodness, gracious. How annoying.

Don't cry. You're in no position to cry.

How far must I go to grab a taxi?

This apartment complex is darn big.

How annoying. Come quick.

Move already.

- Customer number three. - Here.

So Hyun, hi.

Long time no see, ma'am.

Hello.

Say hello to her, So Hyun.

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

You grew up so much.

I saw you ever since you were a baby...

like your little sibling.

Do you want some candy?

Here. Goodness.

- He's your third child, right? - Yes.

He's five months old now.

I couldn't come in for a few months because of him.

How pretty. He's so adorable.

It must've been so hard for you.

What can I do to help you today?

I'm here to pay my delayed installment savings.

It's three months' worth.

I'll take care of it quickly for you.

And...

you told me about the consultation...

when I was pregnant with my third baby.

Sure, I'll help you with that.

- Please hold. - Okay.

(Shinhyup Bank supports families with multiple children.)

With more children, we need to move to a new house.

We were concerned about our future expenses too.

I'm glad I consulted you.

You should be considered a patriot.

You gave birth to three children in this day and age.

We're glad we could be of help.

Oh, didn't you say your child is a year younger than my eldest?

- Six years old? - Yes.

She's started behaving cheeky now. It's not good.

Children need a lot of care from their moms around that age.

But my child seems less lonely because of younger siblings.

Why don't you give birth to one more child?

No.

Raising one is hard enough.

Here you go. It's all done.

Okay, thank you.

Bye, So Hyun.

- Say goodbye to her. - Goodbye.

Bye. Take care, ma'am.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

How impressive.

She gave birth to three children.

You have three children too.

Exactly.

I feel frustrated to see families with many children like that.

It reminds me of my past.

Goodness, it's going to take forever...

for her to feed and raise those little kids.

Don't you have any plans for a second child?

Come on. Don't be like that.

Figures. Da Bin is six years old now.

It's around time she wants a little sibling.

Right, when you saw the customer's baby just now,

you seemed so excited.

Give birth to one more.

Get into the mood with your husband tonight.

Make some love.

With my husband?

What mood? A mood for a fight?

Or a mood for a wrecked family?

Sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

My serious mistake.

Da Bin...

has no siblings.

She has to spend all day with a stranger at home.

It must be so hard for her.

Please stop worrying about her.

She was good with the last babysitter.

But this babysitter is on the phone every time I call her.

When I go home after work,

the house is a mess.

Da Bin goes into her room without saying anything.

My husband has started running marathons,

so he goes out to run all the time.

My mother-in-law pesters me to change babysitters...

when she isn't going to look after Da Bin.

But leaving her to my mother...

doesn't feel right as a daughter.

Even if I do it,

my younger sisters...

might glare at me with hateful eyes that I'm making mom suffer.

Goodness.

I can tell you're stressed out.

Gosh, Kyung Jin.

I'm at the limit of my patience these days.

You should bear it.

Bear with it for Da Bin's sake.

If you want to raise a child in this country,

you have no other choice.

Gosh, my head hurts.

Ms. Kang, you're a patriot too.

Go for it.

Thank you.

A patriot...

Sun Ja.

Come to think of it,

getting divorced...

isn't too big of a fault these days.

I'm just saying.

I'm on Jae Bum's side no matter what.

I'm just telling you this to console you...

in case you're upset.

I didn't say being divorced is a problem.

I thought you said so.

People could get divorced...

or lose their spouses. There's no problem with that.

It's hard to live a trouble-free life...

in current times.

Then?

It isn't specifically because he's divorced.

It's not easy...

to be a life partner to someone...

who has many painful experiences like him.

What?

Don't you remember your brother-in-law?

He got beaten up so much by his father when he was little.

That trauma haunted him that whenever he was drunk,

he had to smash something.

Don't you remember how I used to take...

all the kids...

to the riverbank until he'd fall asleep?

Even so, your husband loved them and never put a hand on them.

He was a special case.

Everyone's the same.

The hurt you keep inside is bound to surface.

That's why I don't want to give my daughter...

to a man who is hurt and gloomy.

That chief editor guy might not be like that.

He told me that...

he never...

loved or respected his mother in his whole life.

What?

When I heard that,

I felt broken-hearted and sad...

as I thought about how he grew up.

But then, I don't want my daughter...

to have to put up with and comfort him forever.

So I gave up...

and won't accept him.

Sun Ja.

Your parents dictate half your life. Your spouse the other half.

So what if he was a town hall clerk?

He turned into a lunatic whenever he had a drink.

Mi Hye saw all that growing up.

For her to marry a man with so much hurt...

and darkness in his soul?

No, no. I can't let that happen.

Right now she may find all that grand,

and she might even feel protective,

but later on in life, she'll suffer because of his trauma.

That chief editor guy could've overcome his past.

It's not that easy to overcome.

That's why you should marry someone...

bright and cheerful, even if he's not well-off.

Oh, like Jin Soo?

How dare you mention him right now?

Sorry, Sun Ja.

Mr. Kim.

Are you alive?

Yes, I'm alive.

Then can you come outside?

What?

Let's meet up.

Shall I come to your office then?

No. Let's meet elsewhere today.

What?

[VIU Ver] KBS2 E76 'My Prettiest Daughter in the World' "The Truth Can Sometimes Hurt -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

My goodness.

Oh, dear.

Poor me.

Where are you going? Are you going to see him?

- Come here. - No.

- Mom, Mom, Mom! - Come here.

Stop right there! Hey, you!

My goodness.

She's really fast. As fast as Usain Bolt.

Why did you run?

Because I missed you.

We haven't met in a while.

What's wrong?

Let's eat.

Why did you go on a hunger strike?

I'm not worth it.

It's okay.

I had a few snacks in secret without Mom knowing.

Don't skip meals from now on.

Starving doesn't suit you.

You must eat well to write well.

You must write for the rest of your life.

Keep your energy up.

"For the rest of my life"?

Yes.

I don't like this.

Why not? Do you not like places like this?

No. I love places like this.

I can't eat out enough.

You're acting as if...

this is our last date.

You're like a mom treating her kid...

before abandoning her.

I guess this is along those lines.

Mr. Kim.

I visited your mother.

I know.

You confessed that you got divorced.

I know why you met my mom.

It's a death sentence. It means what we have is over.

You won't date or marry me.

It's because I cherish you.

I need you to understand.

I cherish you too. I love you.

I leave Korea next week.

Which is why I ask,

since it looks like your book is almost finished,

is there anything you need or want?

You.

I can't attend your publishing party.

You can name something big or expensive.

I don't want anything.

What's the point in having something expensive?

I'll just die hugging it as I miss you.

Don't be stubborn.

Will you really...

leave?

Yes.

Will you really...

really leave?

Whatever happens, I won't change my mind.

Do you have to do this?

Yes, I have to.

It's unfair that we're breaking up before a decent date,

so I must do this even though I don't know how.

What? You can't skate?

I put off learning until I have a boyfriend.

I didn't skate when we came here for a school picnic.

I watched in my sneakers while eating rice cake skewers.

Jae Bum and I only rode sleds.

He's heavy and that adds to the speed.

By the way,

are you any good at this?

I don't know when I last skated,

but if this is what you want to do.

When did you last skate?

Before I moved to the States,

I skated a few times with my father.

What about with your ex-wife?

She dislikes childish things.

Anyway, if you want to skate, let's give it a go.

Here. Take my hand.

Let's go. Watch your step.

Yes, that's it. Careful, careful.

Keep your feet closer together. One step.

Wait, wait, wait.

- It's fine. - Wait.

It's okay. I've got you, so relax.

Watch your balance.

It's okay.

I got you. Keep trying.

- Okay, okay. - Again, and relax.

Keep your elbows down. Go.

A bit more. A bit more.

A bit more.

- Is this right? - Yes.

It's okay. I got you.

Well done.

That's it.

I'll let go of one hand. Keep skating.

Come on.

Now come to me.

You're doing well.

Are you all right?

Are you okay?

It hurts.

Gosh, who was that?

Are you okay?

Gosh.

If I go to the States,

I'll miss you a lot.

What do you mean?

Don't forget me.

Okay?

Seriously,

can't you stay?

Anyhow, you require a great deal of care.

If we stay here, you'll get hurt again.

Get up.

Are you coming home now?

Hello, sir.

You watched my stuff before,

but I didn't thank you properly. I'm so sorry.

And just so you know,

all my robots, fishing rods, and bikes...

were all sold off.

Mr. Jung.

That's not important right now.

- What? - Do you have...

a new babysitter now?

Yes, we do.

This morning, I saw Da Bin...

being dragged along by the babysitter.

And Da Bin was crying hard.

Mom said we can't kick things like that.

Hey, I can't clean up all the mess.

I'm using my arms and legs to clean them up.

Still, Mom said we can't do that.

Why? Are you going to tell your mom?

No matter what you say to your mom,

she can never fire me.

Do you know why?

Because she has to quit her job.

She's very busy this time of year.

How would your mom fire me?

Then she will have to quit...

and lose her job.

Do you know what will happen then?

What will happen?

You'll get thrown out on the street.

Sun Ja.

Mi Hye is a grown woman.

Do you have to do this?

Aren't you going to guard the back door?

That guy was going to break up with Mi Hye.

That's why he came all the way here and told you about his divorce.

He seemed sincere though.

You should trust him.

It's not that I can't trust him.

What?

It's Mi Hye whom I can't trust.

I can't do this. I'll guard the back door.

You should take the front one.

Sun Ja. Just go to your room.

My gosh.

Mr. Kim.

You like me, right?

I told you that before.

No, not like that.

You don't want to leave me. That's how you feel, right?

But you're not sure.

You just feel bad to ask my mom...

to approve of us.

That's why you came to see her, didn't you?

- Mi Hye. - You love me, don't you?

Then there's only one way.

- Sun Ja. - Stop it.

Isn't that Mi Hye?

When did she come?

Let's...

get pregnant.

What?

Let's...

make a baby.

Gosh, Sun Ja.

Sun Ja, what's wrong?

- Mom. - Sun Ja.

What's wrong? Pull yourself together.

Tae Ju.

Mi Ri.

What's the matter?

We need to talk.

What's the matter, Tae Ju?

Why?

Why is your face so emaciated?

(My Prettiest Daughter in the World)

Where's Seung Yeon?

- Just die with me. - You wench.

How dare you do that to Mi Hye?

Stop being like that and do something about me.

What do I do?

Aren't you going to tell me?

You can't go to the States.

Where's Jae Bum now?

Mr. Bang.

She's ridiculous.

- Mom. - What's wrong, Da Bin?

Fire her immediately.

- What are you going to do? - I'll have to leave.

- You will be the acting president. - Me?

Just answer my questions.

Tell me.

Why did you marry me?
