ALL PERSONS, LOCATIONS, RELIGIONS, INCIDENTS, AND ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS DRAMA

ARE FICTITIOUS

CHILD ACTORS HAVE FILMED SAFELY UNDER PARENTAL SUPERVISION

SCENES INVOLVING ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY WITH EXPERT ADVICE AND COOPERATION

Mom, it's spicy!

-Here, have some water. -Water.

Here you go.

I'll finish eating in a minute and watch Wan-do.

It's fine. You'll get indigestion. Take your time.

Oh, no.

When did you spill this?

I just bought you these clothes.

Eat up.

Sweetie, are you not going to eat?

Want me to rinse the kimchi? Is it spicy?

Dad, tell her I'm not a baby who can't eat kimchi.

Lee Mi-do, how long are you going to be like this?

It's been two weeks.

Look, if you're mad at me, just tell me straight.

I'll talk to her.

Jeez, this girl.

What's wrong with my princess?

I'm sad when you're like this on a family trip.

What is it? Is it because of piano class?

I'll start saving up my extra pay this month, okay?

It's not that?

Then what? Art class? Ballet?

Oh! I want to do taekwondo.

-Taekwondo? -Yes.

Got it.

-I want a fire truck. -Then…

-You too? -A fire truck?

I want something too. Please buy me a lipstick.

-Lipstick? -Yes.

-A lipstick for Suk-hui! -Yes!

My life's been totally messed up since I met your mom.

After everything I've done for her?

I even raised her brat who isn't even my own blood.

Jeez.

What?

Are you pissed that I'm insulting your mom?

My mom and the hardware store guy have nothing going on.

Oh, really?

He only came to our house today

because the light was broken. He came to fix it.

You know it too, right?

That your mom isn't coming back for you.

Well, we're in the same boat.

All right, let's go.

-Okay. -I'm first!

Slow down.

Oh my gosh! Are you okay?

-Mi-do! -Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Oh, no. Does it burn?

Oh my gosh, he must be scared.

Again, I'm so incredibly sorry.

Oh, it's fine.

You should really take him to a doctor.

I'll take care of it.

Should we come with you?

-She looks like Kim Hee-seon. -It's fine.

-Your mom. -I'll take him to the doctor.

-You really should. -Do you like dinosaurs?

I'll take care of that myself.

You probably fell for it because my mom did that for you,

but it's all fake.

My mom is stronger than a dinosaur.

Ever been hit in the back of the head with a handbag?

It really hurts.

That doesn't hurt.

You promised me, man to man.

Take him to a doctor and call me.

I've memorized your pager number.

Jeez, you have trust issues.

Hey.

Sweetie.

You must've been so scared. I'm so sorry.

Go see a doctor.

Okay? Promise me.

What are you doing? Let's go.

Hey!

Since you seem to like dinosaurs.

Let's just go already.

NO SWIMMING

I hope he saw a doctor.

We really should've gone with them.

I got his pager number.

Plus, he said he knows the restaurant owner, so…

if he doesn't call by tonight, we'll ask.

Okay.

Then again, I have my own things to worry about.

What is it, really?

Is this about the cotton candy?

I told you to have some.

I didn't just buy it for your brother.

Dad, can you tell her I hate cotton candy because it rots your teeth?

Honey, could you ask her why she's sulking so much,

and tell her she's acting like a total baby right now?

Jeez, why are you doing this, too?

Can my princess whisper it just to me?

What made you so upset?

Oh, just leave her alone.

You keep doing that, you're just spoiling her.

She never listens and always causes trouble.

That's it.

I should just abandon her at some random house.

When you get old, I'm going to abandon you!

I'll leave you deep in the mountains!

What did you just say?

Lee Mi-do.

I learned it in history class.

It's called goryeojang . When parents got old,

they were left in the woods.

My teacher taught me that.

No, that's wrong. Your teacher must've said it's bad

and you should never do it.

You really hurt Mom's feelings just now.

You said a really mean thing to her.

But Mom hurt my feelings even more!

She forgets every single thing I tell her!

She forgot I wanted to wear my rabbit fur vest on Friday.

She forgot that I'm good at eating spicy food.

She forgot I wanted to eat the pink ham.

And…

she forgot I like silkworm pupae, not cotton candy!

She forgot everything!

There, there.

My sweet Mi-do.

You must've been so upset, right?

But Mi-do…

Mom doesn't just forget what you tell her.

She always forgets what I say, too.

You saw me wearing mismatched socks the other day.

You only have one mom,

but Mom has three kids.

Wait, four, including me.

Mi-do.

If you don't speak up,

if you don't tell us,

even though Mom and I love you so much,

we can't read your mind.

It's not because we love you any less.

We don't know because you don't tell us.

I want you to be someone who can be honest

about your feelings with the people you love.

Can you?

Okay, promise me.

-Someone fell in the water! -Someone fell in the water!

Hurry, help!

Honey.

Oh my God. Honey, wake up.

Wake up!

Wake up!

No, no!

Honey.

Honey.

10. WHAT DO OUR SCARS LOOK LIKE?

ESTIMATE

I'm rejecting this estimate.

You need to give me a reason.

We clearly followed the guidelines. What's the problem?

Is 600 million won really a feasible amount?

The purchase cost listed here

was calculated to reflect the market price decline

resulting from increased raw material procurement.

But you completely left out the burden of rising fuel costs on logistics.

Surcharges were added due to Middle East oil price risks.

You can't submit estimates like this.

If it was a mistake, it's incompetence. If it was intentional, it's deception.

I can't just keep this on my end.

It needs to be reported to the audit team.

Submitting a false estimate is grounds for disciplinary action.

Resubmit it in three days using the last three months' statistics.

I'll withhold final approval until then.

Who is it? Who leaked our plan?

Look me in the eye.

Within the last week,

did you drink with Namgung Ho?

I did.

Did Namgung Ho pay for the drinks?

He did.

But I don't think I said anything.

Why are you smiling?

Did you get drunk that day?

I did.

But I…

You…

You committed drunken treason.

You drunk-sabotaged us!

You told that snake Namgung Ho everything!

But was it really me?

I don't think so.

If not you,

do you think Ms. Park did it?

She got top evaluations

and last year's best employee award.

She's not stupid like you

to sabotage us while drunk!

I think I did.

Hear that? She said you did it!

Wait, what?

I wasn't drunk

or stupid.

It was a honey trap.

How did TF Team 3's cost adjustment go?

Imported raw material prices vary based on local supply, right?

He pulled off a bit of a bluff using the increased crop volume.

That's a relief.

It was a honey trap.

He tricked me.

You were holding my hand

just to get info out of me, right?

-It was a honey trap. -Did you join the company because of me?

Procurement's initial 600-million-won offer was ridiculous anyway.

Did you date Sun-cheol while having feelings for me?

I heard you and Manager Jeong are close now.

What happened there?

How's Sun-cheol doing lately?

I know you're dodging the question by embarrassing me.

Give me a straight answer.

I just followed the rules.

Procurement can't approve false invoices, can they?

Any issues with that?

No, none.

Let's make eye contact.

Can you last four seconds this time?

If I last ten seconds,

you must grant me one wish.

Deal.

Another honey trap!

-That's a foul. -How is it a foul when there are no rules?

Keep your promise.

If I last ten seconds--

I'm never telling you what you want to know.

Don't expect it.

I can find that out on my own.

I'm capable enough.

If I last ten seconds,

tell me a secret of yours that Ms. Lee doesn't know.

Okay.

You better.

I'm really going to do it. I swear I will.

No more honey traps.

No.

You let me go.

And back then, I loved you so much.

Hey, Mun-yeong!

Mun-yeong, what are you doing?

I messed up, okay? I won't survive if you go.

Mun-yeong.

I said I'm sorry!

Mun-yeong!

Mun-yeong!

Even if you hate me, please.

I'm so sorry, Mun-yeong!

I can't live without you, Mun-yeong!

Mun-yeong!

SEOUL FAMILY COURT SEOUL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT

Please reconsider.

Just one last time.

Just once, please?

Why on earth

do we have to split up?

Please, I'm begging you.

Please…

KO MUN-YEONG LAB

I just can't understand…

I can't do this anymore. I can't go on.

You used to run a kilometer in three minutes.

-Just run. -Wait!

I'm in my thirties now, okay?

And lately,

Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol is driving me nuts.

Also, Mi-do's been MIA for three days.

Man, at times like this,

I guess I'm just like her.

I'm sad.

MIA for three days?

Yes, she said it's a stomach bug.

You know her routine when she goes off the grid.

Her phone is on, and she answers,

but she won't show her face.

What?

You didn't know?

It's been four days.

Pay attention to her, man.

No, it's been three…

Wait, is it four?

Hey, wait!

TIN CAN BASTARD

TIN CAN BASTARD

MISSED CALL TIN CAN BASTARD

How can you love the man who caused your father's death?

Unbelievable.

She said she goes to work every weekday. Where is she?

Is her phone just for show?

Jeez.

Huh?

He's your junior from the army, right?

The lawyer who got into a car accident with Mi-do.

-Well, that was-- -Gwan-u, you punk.

I told you never to come back.

He lost his house and property trading crypto,

and he keeps coming to me for money.

I'm going nuts.

Oh.

Hey.

Sir, yes, sir!

I lost everything trading crypto,

but I can still afford this, sir.

No Eggs Royale, my baby's favorite?

My baby loves avocado on a smoked salmon Benedict.

Remember that.

I'm from Daeho Unit, Class 1035, and you're from Class 1047.

When you were a private, your superior, Corporal Park,

was beating the crap out of you in the bathroom.

I stepped in and saved you.

After that, you followed me whenever I went to the PX store.

By the way, your nickname, Gwan-u,

means "crybaby loser who needs attention."

Our youngest will be done washing up in about five minutes.

Memorize it perfectly.

You think you're really their father?

What?

Trying to fill the void of the father you killed?

Don't do that to Mi-do.

Don't take cheap shots like that

at Mi-do.

I guess you already did.

Oh.

So, it was you who made Mi-do disappear.

Gwan-u.

If you hurt Mi-do any further,

you're a dead man.

I will actually kill you.

Daeho Unit, Class 1047.

From March to November 2013.

By the way, Daeho Unit is in Changwon.

He's sharper than he looks. Don't mess up.

You didn't lend him money, did you?

I think he's in a pyramid scheme.

Be careful.

Look at his eyes. He's lost it.

I ordered yours. It's coming.

Oh, thanks.

Energy is an asset. Let's stock up while we can.

Yes.

-Ms. Ma. -Yes?

RED GINSENG

Oh, thank you.

Here.

Change my name.

-No. -Come on.

Dad.

I was too scared to ask you this before.

Since my name, Sang-su,

means a constant value that never changes,

does it signify "Lee Yeong-do and Ko Mun-yeong's unchanging love"?

It doesn't, does it?

It does.

I tried to stop them for your sake.

I knew it!

It's why I didn't ask.

Just let me change my name!

Hey, be quiet. Aren't you embarrassed in front of him?

No! Change my name! Please!

Yellow forsythia…

Was the name of the hanbok shop owner's granddaughter Na-ri?

Was the sink over there?

Who's that?

I'm the tallest in my class.

You take after Namgung, huh?

He was the tallest.

I'm going to be taller.

There are mosquitoes everywhere.

I didn't want to come. I'm not eating.

Yellow forsythia…

Say "ah."

Good boy.

You look like Karina.

He's really like Namgung.

Hey, he just has a good eye.

Grandma, can I come over whenever I want japchae ?

Of course, whenever you want it.

No.

You're going to the shelter tomorrow.

That's why we all came here.

You'll never see these people again.

This is it.

BROTHER CLEANING

Hey, man.

Did you have to go that far?

And why is it the last time?

If he's at Pastor Kim's--

I'll look into adoption abroad.

If Hwa-young and Ju-wan waive custody,

I'll be appointed as his legal guardian,

then I'll send him abroad.

Hey, Namgung.

In Korea,

even if the law forbids it,

everything about blood ties can be found in a week

if you give a private investigator two million won.

Mi-do is already attached to him.

She just pities him.

Mi-do sees me in him.

She just feels so sorry for him.

Come on, what do you mean? It's not like that.

You know it, too.

Mi-do sometimes says she pities me.

I know Mi-do doesn't realize it.

And she means nothing by it.

But whenever Mi-do says that,

my life feels so miserable and pathetic.

I feel like I'm seven years old again.

Sorry.

He just made me…

What are you talking about?

I say those things to you?

-Mi-do. -No, I've never said those things.

What am I, crazy?

Don't lie.

Actually, you do often.

Hey.

You do it often.

You do it all the time around us.

No, Mi-do. He's exaggerating it.

Why did you never tell me?

You should've told me.

I knew you meant nothing by it, so I was fine.

How could you be fine with that?

How?

Namgung.

I've never thought of you like that.

I mean it, really.

I know, Mi-do.

You know I always speak without thinking.

I have no filter.

So I probably just said it without really thinking.

I swear I didn't mean it like that.

I know, Mi-do.

Stop it.

Namgung.

I just wanted to give you everything.

I just wanted to give you everything I had.

I know.

Thank you.

When you thank me like that, I just…

I…

Namgung, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I really am.

She quit?

Yes.

We went out of our way to hire an older, inexperienced person.

And she's been a no-show for three days.

Wow, this is ridiculous.

PLEASE ANSWER

ATTORNEY HAN TAE-SEUNG

It was you.

If you hurt Mi-do any further,

you're a dead man.

How can you love the man who caused your father's death?

Sol has grown so much, hasn't he?

-He really has. -Yeah.

Sol, do you remember the pastor?

-No. -You really don't remember?

Say hello.

Hello.

-Hi, Sol. -What a good boy.

-Shall we go inside and talk? -Come here.

They have a lot of experience. They'll take good care of him.

-He's grown up so well. -Right? He's grown so much.

ANON TEMPORARY CHILD SHELTER

Ho!

I won't hate you.

So please…

So please…

Please…

Stay healthy, Sol.

Ho!

Ho!

Ho!

Is it…

because of me?

Is it because of me

that you're not getting attached to Sol and pushing him away?

If you treat Sol like Hwa-young treated you,

we'll all suffer.

-So-- -Mi-do, I…

I absolutely hate him.

He reminds me of Han Ju-wan.

Looking at him just reminds me of Han Ju-wan.

And getting attached?

Don't you remember?

I already…

abandoned him once.

Did that woman come by…

First, please fill out this child abandonment report.

Then, please sign the child transfer agreement for facility placement,

and the form confirming you refuse to support him.

THE ABANDONED CHILD WILL BE PLACED IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY

CHILD CANNOT BE PLACED WITH FAMILY ANON TEMPORARY CHILD SHELTER

Mi-do, to me, my family is just

you, Ms. Ma,

Yeong-do,

Wan-do,

and Sang-su.

There's no one else.

Oh, give it here.

You paid, so I'll carry it.

Nonsense. Let's carry it together.

Dad, are you crazy?

That guy is married!

THREE YEARS AGO

Just live as you used to, Dad.

When did you start being serious about one person?

You didn't last a year with Su-yeon's dad!

I looked into it.

This guy hasn't even divorced his wife yet,

and he doesn't plan to.

He only approached you for your money.

If you keep seeing him,

I'll post it online.

Don't you dare.

I mean it.

Post it again, and you'll regret it.

-Dad… -Please, just stop…

Stop saying that.

I just want to stop…

being your dad.

Sorry, it's so early.

See? I told you he's a light sleeper and would wake up, Mom.

Mom insisted on making you breakfast.

You wouldn't have come if I asked, would you?

Dad, you promised me two hours at the internet café.

I tried to stop them.

Come on, now.

Oh.

Hold on.

Uncle Ho.

Here.

Sol wanted to get you

a gift or something,

so he asked me what you like.

So I told him.

I think I gave him some pretty good advice.

Come on, hurry.

Oh.

How is it?

-Try this, Yeong-do. -Why? Is it salty?

How is it?

Did you make this? Why is it so salty?

-Mom made it. -Did I?

Hey, give it here.

Mom, it's fine. Try it.

She hasn't cooked in a while.

It's delicious.

-See? It's good. -Yes, it's good.

It's… really good.

Sol.

Grab your jacket.

Darn it.

Don't touch.

Just look at them.

Your name…

I'm who gave it to you.

Say, "Brother."

Brother.

What are you going to do?

I thought he was a big catch,

but he turned out to be a total scumbag.

I was just blinded by greed and made a bad bet.

First, I need to tie him down legally.

I'll squeeze every last penny out of him.

His mom's side has money.

Mom! Seriously…

Just pick something, okay?

BIRTH REGISTRATION FORM

It's not "Sol" from the musical scale.

It means "pine tree."

NAME: HAN SOL

I chose that so you'd grow up strong.

Do you like it?

Well, it's not bad.

Sol.

A lot of people are going to pity you in the future.

And because they pity you,

they're going to love you.

-The japchae is good. -Want some more?

-I'm fine. -It's good.

-I'm good. -Me too.

Here, try some of this, okay?

So there will be many times when you feel miserable and pathetic.

But Sol,

even love given out of pity…

is truly a warm feeling.

It's not fake. It's real.

It's genuine love for you.

So,

just because you feel miserable or pathetic,

don't doubt that love or push it away.

You have to know its worth

and be thankful.

Learn to love others in return.

That's the way to live.

Did you have a snack earlier?

Above all, even if others pity you,

- you… -I had a late-night snack.

-Did you? -… must never

pity yourself.

Chicken feet.

They're so good, right?

You need to be someone who loves

and cherishes yourself the most.

Only then can you love others,

and accept the love they give you.

So, Sol,

make sure

you grow up loving yourself.

This jerk picked a fight with me first!

Detective.

He's obviously a drug addict

or an escapee from a mental ward!

I hit my head really hard

on the asphalt… Ouch.

Damn it, my head, ouch…

Mr. Han Tae-seung.

You were sent home last time for a psychiatric evaluation,

but not this time.

There were no security cameras, but we have witnesses.

Call your guardian.

He really is a psycho.

Sir, lock him up right now!

I get it, so calm down and sit.

Jeez…

Ouch, my head…

It was you, right?

You requested the warehouse audit, didn't you?

I just followed the manual.

Unauthorized disposal is subject to audit.

You know exactly why I tossed it, punk.

You may hate all the cheap ingredients,

but they're safe and approved by the MFDS.

You can't just toss them on your own.

Damn it!

-Hey! -Manager Eom!

-Stop him, Manager Jeong. -Manager Eom.

Please let go of him…

All right, I'll let you continue.

How could you do this to me?

Huh?

The fall launch is definitely dead.

And if you get disciplined…

He thinks he's with the brass now, huh?

After everything I did for him.

-Oh no, I'm sorry! -Hey, careful…

It's fine.

I'll just go to the restroom.

Please go ahead.

Eight whole years together,

and he backstabs me in just three months?

It's obvious, sir.

Oh, is it?

Wait, what is?

I know you and Assistant Manager Namgung are staging it.

You can stop acting.

What are you talking about?

You saw us earlier.

I grabbed him and shook him--

Facing a disciplinary hearing

and at least a pay cut,

yet buying pork ribs for 15,900 won per person?

It doesn't make sense.

Well, times like this call

for treating you guys well--

Then why did you buy cheap, 7,900-won pork skin

when the fifth sample fell through?

Well, that was…

If you don't tell me your plan,

I'll tell Mr. Baek, too.

Were you always like this?

Anyway, never mind that.

How much do you know?

Forget what that detective said earlier.

I usually black out when I drink, and I drank too much.

It's true. You don't buy it?

You think it's an act?

Well, you're right.

You ignored my calls. What else could I do?

I had to rely on the authorities.

This is all your fault.

Is your rage meter still at level five?

Or level six?

I'm sorry.

I went too far that day.

Attorney Han?

Are you here for a case?

I was worried when you left Jaekang.

Guess people still hire you.

Heard you did well with Hanbuk's case.

Congrats.

Stop disgracing our profession.

Drinking parties, lobbying…

Stop surviving on things like that.

Honestly,

you made me ashamed to be a lawyer.

Ashamed?

You should be ashamed of losing.

Unlike you, my parents aren't judges or prosecutors.

I have to do whatever it takes to win.

Keep up the good work.

Well, you've even killed someone.

Acting like a jerk must be easy.

I'll sexually harass you in one minute.

If you don't get lost right now,

I'll pull your pants down and shame you.

If I come at you,

stripping you to your underwear would be too easy.

I mean it. I'm strong.

What's this crazy woman saying?

Twenty seconds left.

Birds of a feather, seriously.

All right, let's go! Round four!

-This is great! -Round four!

Let's go!

Assistant Manager Gung, nice!

Thank you!

Jeong Yeon-ho, great!

-See you tomorrow. -See you.

Hey, bro.

Just have one more drink with me, okay?

I have so much I want to talk to you about.

Sir.

I booked that lounge club you said you wanted to go to.

A club?

Yes, so let's just go home tonight.

Huh?

-And next week… -Next week?

…let's go there!

Let's go there next week!

-All right. -Let's go!

-Let's go! -In you go.

Bye! Let's go!

Next week!

Sol.

I don't hate you.

I actually care about you a lot.

Way more than you think.

But Sol,

I care about myself more.

I'm going to try.

I'm going to try loving myself more.

That's why I decided not to stay with you.

So I'm not

going to feel sorry for you.

I'll always love you

and care for you a lot.

So, Sol.

Could you please…

not hate me too much and love me, too?

Assistant Manager Namgung.

Hey.

It's Park Su-a.

You're crazy. How much did you drink?

Stay here. I'll go buy some water.

Park Su-a.

You know, last time…

What you told me

when I said my dream was to be a general manager.

What you said at the convenience store.

Huh?

That I used to be an outcast?

No.

Oh, that life isn't like dramas?

No, that's what I told you.

That I'm highly resilient, right?

No!

Not that.

When I said your dream was cool?

Yes.

That.

Can you tell me that one more time?

You're cool.

You're really, really cool.

What are you doing?

I'm not looking. Go ahead and cry.

Isn't the girlfriend supposed to wipe my tears right now?

Then you won't be able to cry.

Then just leave.

No…

I'll stay with you.

So…

tell me when you're done crying.

You're so silly.

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

I never should've…

said those things.

It's just that

I like you so much,

and I was so jealous of Namgung Ho.

Are you going to keep ignoring me?

Mi-do.

Are you really going to shut me out?

I can't leave Namgung.

You know…

That day…

The person responsible for my dad's death…

wasn't Namgung.

It was me.

My dad died because of me.

Someone fell in the water!

Hurry, help!

-Dad! -Yes?

Dad, hurry, save him! What are you doing?

If something happens to him, I'll be so sad.

If he dies,

it's going to break my heart.

You told me to speak my mind!

Dad, hurry and save him! Now!

Hurry up and save him!

Dad!

Dad!

Okay, I will.

I'll go save him and come back, okay?

Okay.

Hurry!

I'll be back.

It's all your fault.

My husband died because of you.

My kids' dad is dead because of you.

Because of a thing like you.

Because of someone like you!

Why did my kids' dad have to die?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Namgung doesn't know.

Nobody knows.

I thought everyone would hate me.

I hid behind Namgung like a coward.

I can't leave Namgung.

I have to be there for Namgung.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Apologizing won't work.

I can't be with you.

That's not it.

That's not it…

It must have been so hard.

It must have been really, really hard.

I…

I had no idea…

I'm just…

I'm so sorry…

I'm sorry.

Hey, you startled me.

THANK YOU TO CHOI HEEJIN FOR HER SPECIAL APPEARANCE

You wanted to get hurt. How does it feel?

You like Park Su-a, don't you?

You live like this all for Ms. Lee, right?

Yes. To me, Lee Mi-do is everything.

Are you disappointed?

Oh, no. I think I really like you.

We'll break up in about ten days.

Will you sleep with me?

Stop liking her.

Stop liking her.
