Original subtitles

I have a daughter.

The government will take all your fortune.

What daughter? I don't have one.

We've found your daughter. Her name is Lee Ji Young.

She's 35 years old.

How dare you? Say that again.

"Lady"?

She lives in Seoul.

My tour guide's killing me!

She's healthy.

Goodness!

It's your son-in-law.

It's the evidence that your son-in-law is cheating on her.

That is her. My daughter.

What would you do if you happened to meet him?

My dad? I'd find out what he's like first.

Then I'll kill him.

He cruelly abandoned my mom and me.

Based on the DNA test, you match by 99 percent.

She is your daughter.

(Episode 3)

It's nice to meet you,

Mr. Kang Hol Rim.

Mr. Kang Hol Rim,

I'm your father-in-law.

Pardon?

- My father-in-law? - Yes.

You're my wife's father?

That's right.

But my name is...

Kang Ho Rim.

I know, Kang Hol Rim.

No, it's Ho Rim.

- Hol Rim. - It's Ho Rim.

Ho.

"Ho".

- Rim. - "Rim".

- Ho Rim. - Hol Rim.

- Ho Rim. - Hol Rim.

It's Ho Rim.

- Hol Rim. - It's Ho Rim.

Stop it!

Anyway,

I am...

Count Saeed Faad Ali.

What's wrong with him?

Gosh, what a bad timing.

Goodness. Darn it.

Excuse me,

but are you talking about count, the noble position?

Yes.

And you're my father-in-law?

I think you're mistaken.

I've done a paternity test already.

But I thought...

my father-in-law had passed away.

Ji Young could've told you so.

Why would she tell me so?

I'm...

incapable of using telepathy.

Pardon?

"How would I know what's in her mind?"

That's what I mean.

Then where have you been all these years?

That's a good question.

Here.

I've been living in Bodantia.

Can you hear anything?

That's the Middle East.

Do you have several wives?

Most people call it an oil-producing country.

A country where oil is more common than water.

I see.

Have you met with Ji Young then?

I've been living in clover...

without knowing my daughter's existence all these years.

So how could I show myself to her confidently?

I'm a sinner.

No, Ji Young must not know that you're alive.

She knows.

- Pardon? - Her mother...

said that she told Ji Young about me in the letter.

So she must be aware.

She told me her father died.

What did you just say?

Well, Ji Young thinks you passed away.

That's why I'm here to see you.

I want you to convince her over.

Well... Okay.

My father-in-law.

No.

That's not how you call me.

Call me Father.

- What? - We're now family, you see.

I hope we get along, Ho Rim.

Sure.

Do visit our kingdom as soon as possible.

Your kingdom?

What are you doing? Get back to work already.

Get back to work! Hurry!

Oilfield?

You possess an oilfield that's as large as Jeju Island?

Yes!

If you and Ji Young enjoy sandskiing...

in the Bariya Desert where my oilfield is located,

it'll be more exciting.

Don't you think so?

Are you talking about that oilfield which produces a lot of oil?

Exactly.

(I hit the jackpot!)

Thank you so much for finding us.

There's no need to be so formal.

I hope to show Ji Young my kingdom as soon as possible.

Can you arrange a trip in secret?

Sure, sure.

Please do that quickly and swiftly.

Ji Young is busy with her drama.

Sure.

She's the manager of a drama production team.

I heard it's such an exhausting job in which you have to...

find a gem within countless drama scripts every day.

The manager of a drama production team?

But a world's famous star is found through my daughter's work.

And she works to create amazing dramas.

Don't you think it's wonderful?

I can't believe she has such a brilliant talent...

just like me even though she lived apart from me.

That's strange.

He's not talking about my wife, Lee Ji Young.

I can't ask him who his daughter is between the two...

because they have the same name.

Do you still not believe me?

Lee Ji Young.

35 years old, manager at JJ Entertainment.

Do you believe me now?

Let's go.

Excuse me.

No, you're wrong.

I'm not her husband.

We're just seeing each other.

We're dating.

But I have another Ji Young.

She lives in Sillim-dong, and she's my wife.

If she's your daughter,

it's 100 percent sure that I'm your son-in-law.

Please check once more.

Confirm whether it's Lee Ji Young who lives in Sillim-dong...

or the other Ji Young who works for JJ Entertainment.

How dare you ridicule me!

I can't ask him directly like this.

Is he...

really not my father-in-law?

I'm worried I disturbed your work.

- Don't say that. - It doesn't make sense.

- We're honored to have you. - I can't accept this.

Why of all people? Why?

May I take him with me?

I'd like to speak with him further.

Of course.

Who is it?

Is it Lawyer Park?

No, it's the investor.

Why don't you answer him?

If necessary, he'll text me.

Stop being so picky.

Pick one and settle with him. You aren't exactly young.

I should do that.

Does that mean you'll get married soon?

- What are you talking about? - What am I talking about?

Did you research their background?

Background?

Don't you know the three things you must check before marriage?

You're more oblivious than I thought.

Listen carefully. They'll come in handy.

First, check if he has bad credit.

Second, check if his family has debt.

The third is the most important.

Check if he's married.

Married?

Yes, there are many men like that these days.

They act as if they're completely single.

Some women have affairs with men knowing that they're married.

I can't understand those women at all.

Why would you destroy other people's marriages?

If you make someone suffer, you'll suffer much more in return.

Isn't it strange to say that married women are the only victims?

It's the women's fault for neglecting their husbands.

I don't understand why people pity them when they're at fault.

Does that make them feel better?

- Are you seeing a married man? - Yes.

You joke as if you're telling the truth.

Hello, Director Lee.

What's going on?

She's so unsophisticated.

What do you think Chief Kang needs?

Increasing his performance.

Other employees manage funds worth several 100,000 dollars.

Chief Kang manages funds worth only 120 dollars.

I'll deposit 10 million dollars in this bank.

The whole amount will be transferred by Chief Kang.

- Goodness. - My goodness.

Please leave a message after the beep.

There will be charges after the beep.

Ji Young.

You must be out of battery.

Your father came to my office.

He said I'm his son-in-law.

He thinks we're married. What should I do?

This is driving me insane.

Please call me back soon. Hurry.

The recording is canceled.

- Press one to record a message. - Darn it.

Press two to leave your number.

What's wrong?

Chief Kang?

Who is it?

Is it the branch manager?

Ho Rim, what are you doing inside?

Come outside. You don't have time for this.

He's waiting for you outside.

My goodness.

He mentioned 10 million dollars.

He'll deposit 10 million dollars through you.

What?

- 10 million dollars? - That's right.

10 million dollars.

- Let's go now. - Gosh, I'm about to lose my mind.

What should I do?

I'm also about to lose my mind.

What did I tell you? I knew you'd make it big one day.

When did you say that?

I...

I always said that to myself.

You don't have time.

If you don't take this opportunity, you'll be a loser...

and I'll kill you.

- Come on. - I can't go out like this.

Wait, I can't go outside.

I know.

I've been giving you...

a hard time.

Let's just go.

I'll treat you better from now on.

- Come this way. - I have something to tell you.

Actually, I...

- Chief Kang. - Chief Kang.

- No. - Congratulations.

I'm not the one. Stop it.

Welcome.

I'm Abdallah Muhammad Walliwalla, Count Faad's secretary.

I've been wanting to meet you.

It's very nice to meet you, Mr. Kang.

- Walliwalla? - He's so handsome.

He looks amazing.

- It's nice to meet you too. - Let's go.

What are you doing? Get in the car.

- You can do it. - You can do it.

Hello?

The finalists for the contest...

Have they been announced?

Among the ones that are selected,

is there one titled "Man Who Flogs a Dead Horse"?

What kind of title is that? No wonder that it's eliminated.

She's clueless.

Was it an applicant?

Yes, her work is titled "Man Who Flogs a Dead Horse".

The content is obvious.

I like the title.

Actually, I liked it too.

I thought the title was original.

Send me the script now.

Yes, ma'am.

(Sky Oriental Medical Clinic)

Stop. Okay, go.

Let's drink. Cheers.

Cheers.

What's this?

Why are you drinking when I'm the one eliminated?

Listen.

You're a walking bomb.

Why would I give you alcohol unless I'm crazy?

Fine, let's drink until the end.

Give me one more.

Stop it. You'll get drunk if you drink too much of it.

Nothing works out for me.

Right.

Nothing ever worked out for you.

How many times were you eliminated?

How many years has it been?

Mi Ran.

If I were you, I'd quit.

How can you continue doing that...

while sleeping less? I can't do that.

So...

quit before it's too late.

I've quit more than 12 times.

However,

I always find myself writing again.

It's hard to quit.

I can't help but write.

You'll make it one day.

Stay strong.

Do you want just one drink?

Shall I?

What should I do? I must tell him that I'm not his son-in-law.

What can I say as an excuse?

I'll say that I'm close to her husband. He misunderstood...

because his wife has the same name as my wife.

All right. You look great together.

What are those?

Mom, what should I do now?

Cheers.

Relax.

Don't be nervous.

Yes, sir.

Do you want some gum?

No thank you.

By the way,

your mother raised you and your sister by herself.

Yes.

Is your mother...

pretty?

Pardon me?

Oh, yes.

I heard that women who live alone...

live in hatred.

My mother isn't like that at all.

She's affectionate and is softhearted.

- It's better to play that. - Here I go.

- What is it? - Awesome.

- My goodness. - What's going on?

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

I turned the tables.

- I don't believe this. - Goodness.

I'm glad that you're here.

Make some noodles with whelk.

Where's Eun Bi?

I'm not sure. She was just here.

Where is she?

You can't do that.

- Who do you think I am? - Just do it.

I'm getting tired of it.

- You owe me four times that. - Hurry up.

Why are you so impatient?

Once I get excited, I can't help myself.

Eun Bi, why are you eating instant noodles?

Ji Young.

Did you win?

My goodness gracious.

Do you mean...

your sister lives with you as well?

Yes. My mom lives above us,

and my sister lives below with her husband.

We get along very well.

She's sandwiched.

But my younger sister's sweet and good-natured.

She treats Ji Young like a sister.

I'm scoring.

Ji Young, where's the pork that I saw in here?

- Keep playing. - Are we still on?

I don't want to stop now.

I'll take on piece.

Why did you take this?

This isn't the card I want.

Why'd you take that one?

- Are you trying to ruin me? - I can't play anymore.

I'm losing.

- Perfect. - Then go.

- My goodness. - Go.

What a game.

Why do you not have any children?

What?

Did I ask you something too personal?

- The truth is... - Tell me.

What can't we tell each other?

Is it because of some kind of belief?

No, it's not that.

Then is it...

because...

No.

I don't have a problem down there.

But then, children aren't that important.

Come with me.

Why are we...

I know nothing about my daughter's taste.

I'd like to pick out a few presents.

I'd like you to help me choose.

Something Ji Young would like.

5,000? No way.

1, 2, 3... 5,000 dollars?

5,790 dollars?

6,150 dollars?

Would those suit her?

What? No.

I don't mean they wouldn't suit her.

They would suit her, but...

I'll pay for everything from here to here that he looked at.

Everything?

It will be unfamiliar, but you must get used to my lifestyle.

To live the life of nobility.

That is the privilege...

only a true noble can experience.

So what does it mean to be a noble?

Not only must you be knowledgeable and classy...

Watch your posture. Heels together!

Look 45 degrees up, pull your chin,

stronger glare, pull in your navel.

Do not give into money or power...

and defend your family's name and honor.

That is a true noble.

That is me.

Count Saeed Faad Ali.

Next.

Zipper.

Sir, can you buy me some clothes?

Why would I buy you clothes?

Why'd you bring me here if you weren't going to?

Don't you see I'm following them?

And you tagged along.

Why is he doing all this for his cheating son-in-law?

Wouldn't my sexy daughter...

look good in this?

No, no, I think this would be better.

If you consider the class a count's daughter must have,

this would be better.

Since we can't decide, let's buy them both.

Some people can't even afford a car like this in their lifetime.

He just bought two.

Me. What about me?

Could you buy me one of these?

I don't know if this will make up for my 35-year absence.

It's more than enough.

Why do you say that?

How many fathers out there can buy this for their daughters?

She would be so grateful that you came looking for her.

No one in her right mind would hate a father...

who appeared with money, status, honor,

the triangle of happiness.

I don't see what you're so concerned about.

So, you.

You didn't pick.

What?

Pick one you want.

This is evidence that shows her husband is having an affair.

It means that he's with another woman.

What...

I'm envious. He must be your father-in-law.

Yes.

Isn't it amazing? It's a new model.

It has 12 cylinders...

- Get this as well. - Count.

That is a great choice.

What you must do now is talk to Ji Young...

so that we can all return to beautiful Bodantia.

Don't worry, sir. I will help you.

Thank you.

Your life is about to change.

I would love to change it.

How much do you think...

would help you save face at work?

- What? - I said...

I'd leave 10 million dollars with your bank.

All the funds will go through you.

Can you invest that?

- 10 million dollars? - What?

Is it too little?

No... No, sir.

That's my phone.

(Lee Ji Young)

(Lee Ji Young)

- Ji Young is calling. - Yes.

- Take it. - What?

I'd like to hear her voice.

You are cheating.

I feel so sorry for you.

- Hurry up. - Come on down.

Let's see what this is.

Go on.

- Take it. - Okay.

(Speaker)

What took you so long to answer? Where are you?

Where are you right now?

She's fierce.

Hey, what is it? Is something wrong?

Your mother's been playing cards for hours.

And she gets free treatments.

I feel so sorry for the poor doctor I work for.

Isn't this just too much?

Honey, I love you. Okay, bye.

What are you on about?

Come home quickly and clean up this mess.

Mommy.
