(4 days ago, Christmas Eve)

What are you doing?

(Episode 45)

You're good.

Gosh, it's pretty.

It's pretty.

You must've had a lot of fun when you were young.

- Just a bit. - A bit? You mean a lot?

I'll forgive you since it's all in the past.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

It tastes amazing.

When did you learn how to make cocktails?

When I was in Australia.

I even have a license.

So even if we get kicked out,

I'm sure I'd still be able to make a living.

I'll open up a cocktail bar by the beach in Gold Coast...

and teach people how to surf.

Meanwhile, you can just eat and slack around.

That'd be so fun.

It'll be fun at first.

But I bet we'll get bored in less than a month.

Then after a month, we'll go to Italy and start a pasta restaurant.

I even have a chef license. I bet you didn't know that.

I have so much to learn about you.

But just so you know,

they say even Lord doesn't question your past.

Then what if we get bored of selling pasta in Italy?

Where will we go then?

If we get bored?

If we get bored,

we can go to Chile and start a grape farm.

You have a lot of business ideas.

But in order to do better than those who've been competing in the market,

we'll need to upgrade the farm or provide something different.

We need to succeed.

You really are an ambitious woman.

But I have to say, you're nothing like your father.

Do you want to hear something shocking?

Apparently, my father used to be a true romanticist.

He was introverted,

and he was kind, gentle, and warm to others.

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

The memories I have of my dad when I was very young...

are very different from who he is today.

One day, our gardener fell from a ladder...

while pruning our trees,

and my dad carried him on his back...

and ran all the way to the hospital.

There must be a reason why he changed.

I think he started to change after my mom passed away.

I think he was shocked...

to have lost the love of his life.

So ever since then, he only focused on work.

He only cared about accomplishments and results.

And eventually, his greed ended up taking over.

I hated my dad for being like that, so I was always abroad.

I was able to live however I wanted thanks to Jung In,

but no one's here to take care of my dad now,

so that's become my job.

I'm sorry my dad has such a nasty temper.

They say people start missing their dads only after they pass away.

It's sad, but it's true.

So you should try...

and be a good son.

This is why I fall for you every single day.

That's not good enough.

You should fall for me every single second.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

Cheers.

I haven't gone to an orchestra performance in 10 years.

I majored in classical music.

- Did you play the piano? - No, a string instrument.

The violin?

No, it was something else.

What was it? What did you play?

The harp.

Oh, the instrument that was played by the witch...

who hated the Little Mermaid?

I guess you got into university by buying them the harp.

Yes, my family paid money to get me into university.

The harp is very expensive.

It's as expensive as a car.

In the past, it was as expensive as a house.

We should get going so that we're not late to the performance.

Right.

Give me your hand.

Did he even buy me a ring?

Your hands will be cold. Let's go.

It would've been perfect if he got me a ring.

But life never goes your way.

Mr. Kang really takes good care of himself.

I had no idea he gets facials.

He gave us coupons as a Christmas gift,

so let's relieve our stress here.

"Love into our hands"?

(We put love into our hands.)

Hold my love.

Let's go inside.

Mr. Kang reserved special massages for both of you,

so I'll have that ready.

Come this way.

How does it feel to get a massage?

It's making me all drowsy.

We should come here often.

This reminds me of your mother.

Next time, we should bring her too.

But then again, I guess she comes here with Mr. Kang.

Don't they make a good couple?

I'm so relieved that my mom isn't lonely these days.

I'm not lonely these days either.

It's all thanks to you.

(Seorin)

Pay me for the jacket.

Yoo Na, I didn't ask you to get me this.

You decided this on your own.

I'm spending so much this month.

(Don't answer)

"Don't answer"? Who is it?

Someone whom I shouldn't talk to.

You seem more mysterious the closer we get.

- It's Director Nam. - Come on.

Bok Ja, why are you all sullen?

Gosh, be a man.

Don't be sullen, Bok Ja

A man should never be sullen, so don't be sullen

What?

I'll send you to the Grim Reaper as a Christmas gift.

Bok Ja, listen to me carefully as you keep a straight face.

Yeo Jin and Yoo Na are hiding and watching us.

Do you get what's going on?

I guess that little punk tried to trick me.

Ho Jin, why don't we help each other?

You like Yoo Na.

I don't feel comfortable about it, but I guess it could be a good idea.

Okay, nice.

Then let's begin. Ho Jin.

Can you buy me grilled meat?

Grilled meat! Grilled meat!

- Do you want grilled meat? - Yes!

Then let's go get some grilled meat!

Don't give me goosebumps. I'll seriously kill you.

(Glory to Lord in the Highest, and peace to His people on earth.)

What's wrong?

I used to come here often to pray...

hoping I'd get to find my son again.

(Glory to Lord in the Highest, and peace to His people on earth.)

I even prayed for 40 days straight without eating.

What about now? Don't you pray anymore?

What's the use?

I'm no longer motivated.

And there's no hope.

"Abandon all hope."

That's what it says on the gates of the fiery pit.

You should never abandon hope.

My son may have died at a young age,

but I endure it hoping I'd get to meet him again after I die.

So you should still have hope and continue to look for him.

You should pray so that you can find your son again.

Let's go.

Let's go pray.

I've committed a lot of sins,

so I don't feel comfortable being near a church.

But today, it's Christmas.

So if you pray, you might get lucky.

Let's go eat.

I've been hungry ever since the performance started.

We must've ended up here for a reason.

Your heart might've led us here.

I want to pray with you so you can find your son again.

Thank you...

for remembering my son, Tae Jun.

You care for me a lot.

So I should never forget about your son.

You're glowing today.

You have a halo because of your kind heart.

You look stunning today.

Do I look stunning?

Really?

I desperately called you for help.

But where were you?

What were you doing...

when I was shedding tears of blood?

(35 years ago, 1985)

("There Was No Mutual Growth")

("President Seo Mun Su of Seorin Fashion Group...")

("Takes Over Subcontractor, Taeyang Textile")

Dad... Dad.

- Darn it. - Search the place.

Search everywhere.

Why did I have to get pregnant?

(Emergency Ward)

I wanted to die, but you gave me a baby instead.

(House of Hope)

(When my father and mother forsake me,)

(then the Lord will take me up.)

The day I became hopeless and abandoned my baby,

I gave up on my life and stopped believing in the skies.

If it weren't for them, I wouldn't even have been born.

I used to hate them in the past,

but now I think it'd be nice to meet them if I can.

So I'm thinking about visiting the House of Hope,

But why did you bring her back into my life?

Merry Christmas.

Bless you.

(Above all, love each other deeply,)

(because love covers over a multitude of sins.)

I loved Se Hoon more than anyone ever could.

But he didn't love me back.

And that's why he didn't turn a blind eye to my sins.

So I'm thinking about...

what I'm going to do with you.

(The winner, Jang Do Yeon, is in a good mood.)

- Why don't we take a look? - Let's see.

Don't get cheeky.

Although you weren't able to win 20,000 dollars...

- Here. - The oysters...

- It's delicious. - This has to taste good.

(Merry Christmas)

Look at all this meat.

(Plump and juicy)

This could be my last Christmas ever.

But I'm spending it all alone.

Gosh, you must've given it a lot of love.

It grew so well.

I thought about all the things you said to me...

and the happy memories we made together...

every time I looked at this flower.

Back when I tried to keep a distance from you.

Then you must've thought of me at least once a day.

You think that's it? I thought of you at least twice a day.

I even gained weight because I missed you.

That's a good habit.

You should keep it up.

Do you remember what you told me as you gave me this flower?

When a phoenix throws itself into a burning fire...

so it can be born again as a young phoenix,

it sheds tears due to the excruciating pain,

and that's what turns into a flower.

That's why the meaning of this flower is "hope".

Ji Eun.

I bet you didn't know that this flower comes from South Africa.

South Africa? Is that where Cape Town is?

Yes. Let's go to Cape Town when we get a few days off work.

Let's go to this flower's habitat and see a bed of flowers.

And let's go to Boulders Beach and swim with penguins.

We can also go on a wine tour.

There are penguins in Africa?

I thought they only lived in the South Pole,

but they were also in Cape Town, Africa, where it can get really hot.

And I heard penguins are monogamous.

My goodness, how romantic of them.

And they both take part in taking care of their babies.

That's amazing.

I'm getting excited just by thinking of Cape Town.

We just need to put it into action.

Come outside and eat cake.

Jung Min, I guess you never forget your promises.

I should never forget the promises I make to you.

Last time, I told him we only used to eat the cake...

at Sogong Hotel back when we were well off.

Do you remember?

Your dad used to go there every year on Christmas...

to buy us Christmas cakes.

I miss those days.

I told him our family used to love eating cake at that hotel,

and he actually remembered it.

He even bought a lemon roll cake, your favorite.

It's in the fridge.

Thank you, Jung Min.

See?

It's nice to see you guys together.

We plan to go on a trip to South Africa next year.

Should we all go together?

You're already acting like you're married.

But you should wait for us first.

Then how are things going with your relationship?

I'm trying my best to speed things up.

My gosh, stop it.

Where do you plan to go for your trip?

We decided to go to Cape Town.

The weather in South Africa is the opposite of Korea.

So if we go there in winter, it'll be summer there.

And we need to launch the brand for our joint project.

So we'll have to wait until next year April or May.

April or May?

Oh, here it is.

I got this calendar from the bank.

Let's see. April or May.

I found this flower painting really beautiful,

so I brought it for her.

Take a look at the dates.

This is "Phoenix Flower" painted by Han Su Min.

Mom, you know that painting?

Of course. I used to be an art gallery director.

Is this a famous painting?

Yes.

This artist paints Oriental paintings.

She used the five unique colors of our country...

and gained a lot of attention from overseas.

Her brushstrokes...

have a lot of vitality and emotions,

so her paintings cost a lot.

Ji Eun.

You saw that painting hanging on the wall...

of my stepmother's gallery, right?

Yes, I did.

I went there a few times...

to get the VIP guest list for the styling event.

That painting...

is actually mine. I bought it.

You bought that painting?

Yes. When we first met at the piano bar...

No, wait. That was our second encounter.

Anyway, do you remember what I told you then?

I told you I went to Royal Gallery to buy a work of art...

and happened to see a photo of you and Jung In there.

But why did you hang it in Director Choi's office?

My stepmother asked if I could lend it for a while...

so she could hang something nice in her office...

to celebrate the opening of her gallery.

I should bring it and hang it in your house.

What?

You're going to give that painting to Ji Eun as a gift?

Yes.

Should I hang it in your room?

Let's ask Ji Eun first.

Is that okay?

- What? - The phoenix flower painting.

Mom, are there fake paintings of Han Su Min's work?

I guess there could be.

But her work has never been involved in anything like that.

I told you.

It's hard to forge her paintings.

I see.

I've been a reporter for 30 years,

and this is going to be my first huge scoop.

She acted like she couldn't walk...

and went on stage in a wheelchair.

She completely fooled the entire country.

Seorin hosted the event, so it's going to put a toll on them.

(Taesan University Hospital)

(Doctor's Office)

Excuse me.

Do you know who I am?

I know you're Chairman Seo's wife.

You're very sociable for your age.

Are you interested in doing something for me?

How is Mi Ran doing?

We still have something to work on.

I was here for something personal...

and ran into Mr. Choi in the hallway.

I don't care about the photo exhibition.

I'll return the money you gave me.

You're very irresponsible.

Don't you feel sorry about doing this to yourself?

Don't even try to lecture me.

Just leave.

Why are you so obsessed over a guy?

What do you know about my life?

You pretended like you couldn't walk...

because you wanted Mr. Jang to stay.

Doesn't that hurt your pride?

I love him more than my own pride.

My life is meaningless without him.

What are you so scared of?

Are you that scared to lose Se Hoon?

But you see,

that's just all in your head.

You're just making yourself feel that way.

All that you get from making the wrong choice...

is a scar that will never go away.

And you should never beg for love.

You should make it yours.

Do you want me to put Jang Se Hoon in a wheelchair?

Situations can change overnight.

(Seorin)

Sir, if this goes public, it'll not only ruin...

the company image,

but it'll also do damage to your stock price...

that's been soaring the past couple of days.

(Chairman Seo Mun Su)

We only sponsored Yoon Mi Ran because of her story.

How are we responsible for what happened?

Yoon Mi Ran was the one who fooled the entire country.

The problem is that Lee Ji Eun,

the brand manager,

took part in fooling everyone.

Lee Ji Eun was in charge...

of the VIP styling event.

She knew Yoon Mi Ran could walk...

but still let her go up on stage.

Didn't she use Yoon Mi Ran to show to the public...

that Seorin sponsors golf tournaments for the disabled?

Listen to me, reporter. Don't cause unnecessary issues.

Once I hang up,

you'll get a call from the secretary's office.

Then you'll be able to get what you want.

Let's hang up now.

You want to know who tipped me off?

You know I can't tell you that.

You know how things work.

I sent you evidence, so you should take a look.

We all have our dark sides.

Unfortunately, humans can't be trusted.

And there are people you should never hold hands with.

But that day, I held hands with someone I never should have.

(Phoenix 2020)

This is a crisis.

I want Yoon Mi Ran to hold a press conference.

Are you trying to take the blame...

so you can protect Seo Jung Min?

I'm his woman now.

So leave the worrying to him.

Ji Eun just wants to marry you...

because of this company.

I'm never going to give up on her no matter how much you disapprove.

I'll always be on your side, so don't ever be dispirited.

Who is the person that always gives me time...

to think things through?
