[Episode 11]

Relax.

I'd like to hurry up with the wedding...

so that I can protect Song-ah.

Director, please give us your permission.

Mom.

Why won't you say anything?

Director.

You want to rush this wedding?

Yes.

Says who?

I'll have to reconsider this wedding.

Mom.

Why are you saying this all of a sudden?

You want to reconsider?

Are you telling me that you might not allow it?

Yea.

Mom!

That's all I have to say for now.

Leave me, I'm tired.

Tell me your reason.

Why did you have a change of heart?

Is this because of what happened to Hyun-ah?

No.

Then what is it?

Mom, this has to do with my life!

That's why we should reconsider!

Because you only get married once,

let's be rational about this!

I've always known that the director is hard to appease,

but she's more difficult than I thought.

Even if she allows your wedding,

she's going to end up controlling your life.

I feel sorry for you.

What's going on?

Why is the director acting like that?

I'm not sure.

I don't know why she's behaving that way.

Are you okay?

I'll leave for today.

Let me go after him.

His pride is hurt.

Will you?

Don't worry about Gun-woo, and focus on the director.

Why do you want to expedite the wedding?

Are you afraid because of your feelings for me?

It's been harder on you than I had previously thought.

Are you sure you didn't say anything to the director?

Being forced into a corner, have you lost your reasoning?

Telling her about it wouldn't help me, either.

Do you think I'd bring myself down...

after what it took to get myself where I am?

Then why did she have a sudden change of heart?

It's probably because she's lost Hyun-ah.

Jin Song-ah is her only remaining daughter now,

so she'd want to marry her off to a wealthy family...

for power and authority, don't you think?

You already know that people with money marry out of obligation.

I've known the director for 20 years,

but I still don't know what she's thinking.

I never know what's on her mind.

Can I give you some advice?

There's no telling when she'll kick you to the curb.

You should be prepared for that.

Why are you alone?

Where's Kang-min?

He hasn't come home for 2 days now?

He's not even getting my calls now.

What is going on here...?

Why can't you bring him back to his senses, Kang-mo?

What the...?

Why are you bringing Kang-mo into this?

What did Kang-mo ever do?

He can't even control his younger brother,

so did you expect me to praise him?

Tell it as it really is!

If he's not going to listen to his parents,

what makes you think he'll listen to his brother?

What did you say?

Stop talking back to me!

You brought it up first!

Please stop fighting.

I'll look for Kang-min.

Make sure that you find him today.

If you don't find him,

I don't want you coming back home, either!

Why, that old fogey!

He acts like my Kang-mo is nothing more than Kang-min's bodyguard!

Calm down, Mom.

Don't let this bother you so early in the morning.

Don't you have any feelings of your own?

You're a man, so you should protect our pride!

You never care about this or that...

In today's world, people will only take advantage of you!

What's the point in getting all riled up?

That's how I've survived for this long!

Mom, relax.

There's a saying about the softness of water.

What?

I never heard of such a thing!

Where can I find it?

Look it up online if you don't know what it is.

It's your homework for today.

Why, that little...!

You're giving homework to your mother?

Goodness...

He thinks he's raised himself.

Gosh...

Hello, Director.

Yea.

Are you feeling better?

I'm not feeling too bad.

How are you, Director Hong?

Hello, Chairman.

How do you do, Chairman?

Oh, it's been a while.

I look forward to your work, Laura Kang.

You know that, don't you?

Yes, I do, Mr. Chairman.

I'll do my very best.

Alright, then.

But the two of you seem like you know each other.

Laura Kang used to live at our home when she was young.

And she's friends with my daughter.

Oh...

Director Hong is like a mother to me.

I didn't know that the two of you were so close.

If you'll excuse me.

Yes, of course.

Alright...

Does it look like Director Hong has approached Laura Kang?

They had a secret meeting a few days ago.

I knew it.

Manager Koo hasn't been away for very long,

and already she's taking advantage of it.

What are you doing?

Find Manager Koo now!

Yes, Chairman.

Hyun-ah...

Hyun-ah...

These are our brand new products,

so take a close look.

These are the most popular models,

and since functionality is as important as the design,

keep an eye on those as well.

Are you worried about something?

No.

You deny it, but your long face says otherwise.

Chief!

Don't bring personal issues into your work.

Of course not.

Look here.

We've been looking to buy an air purifier.

Which one do you like?

I don't know about this model,

but this one looks better.

Really? Then should we take this one?

Yea, let's go with this one.

Honey.

We need to buy a new purifier.

Look at all these different ones. Let's choose one from here.

Yellow dust is a huge problem these days.

My cough won't stop.

Which one did our neighbors recommend again?

Ah...

This one!

I told them about your cough,

and the neighbors recommended this one.

Really?

Then let's take it.

Yes, alright.

Excuse me, can we get one of these?

Excuse me, we'll take the same one, too.

Yes, we'll take this one.

Chief.

You made me nervous earlier.

From that?

When you were young, you agreed to marry me one day,

so why would this make you nervous?

I did?

What are you talking about?

You really don't remember?

You've got a horrible memory, don't you?

I can't remember something from when I was 8 years old.

But you do remember that you were 8?

I know who you are, Chief.

I barely remember.

I guess it's not really clear for me, either.

I have a hard time remembering...

the girl I broke up with last week, so what can I say?

I was shocked to find out in Sok-cho ...

that Ms. Sneakers was Jin Song-ah.

It felt awkward, so I didn't bring it up.

I felt the same way.

If we can't remember, we should try to recall.

Chief, where are we going?

Just get in the car.

Kang-mo, catch the ball!

Song-ah, it's your turn to catch it.

What should we do?

Let's just go.

What if we get in trouble by my father?

Kang-mo's a scaredy-cat!

Are you afraid of getting in trouble?

Song-ah, stop making fun of me.

Hey!

Jin Song-ah was a fearless little girl back then.

I was?

You don't even remember what you were like back then?

I know.

I almost forgot about my childhood.

Then I should help you remember your past.

Listen closely.

The Jin Song-ah that I used to know...

was energetic and full of curiosity.

Getting in trouble didn't scare her,

and she was always positive and full of energy.

She was like Pipi.

Pipi Longstocking?

So you do remember?

Then why can't you remember me?

I used to wonder what I had to eat...

in order to become as courageous as Jin Song-ah.

I used to envy you.

That was such a long time ago.

He tracked Attorney Cha and took pictures of him.

What is going on here?

I asked you to find the woman he's been seeing,

so why is Laura Kang in these pictures with him?

Laura Kang seems to be the only woman he's been seeing.

What did you say?

What's their relationship?

We don't know yet...

Find out what their relationship is.

Yes.

Hello.

It's the delivery company.

Someone is asking about the photo that you sent,

and they're asking for your number.

No. Don't tell them.

But who wants to know?

I'm not sure.

They brought a picture of you...

and asked if you were the one who sent the pictures.

What kind of picture?

It was a picture of you drinking with a man.

Don't tell them anything, alright?

It looks like Director Hong has been trailing us.

Yes, Director.

You wanted to see me?

Yea, let's have a cup of tea together.

Sit down.

Are you enjoying the tea that I got for you?

It's not bad.

Thanks for being concerned.

Thanks.

Didn't you want to introduce me to your boyfriend?

You remember that?

You've been tied up with other things.

Bring him to my house.

Would that be okay?

With what's happened to Hyun-ah,

I'm sure you have other things on your mind.

Are you worried about me?

Yes, I'm worried.

Song-ah tells me that you have high-blood pressure.

It's much better now.

The doctor tells me that it's almost back to normal.

That's a relief to hear.

You should still be careful.

My mother collapsed because of her blood pressure.

Then will you meet my boyfriend instead of my mother?

I would like your opinion of him.

You might have a different opinion of him than me.

I would like your opinion of him.

That's not really important...

If you meet with him,

my mother would be happy, too.

Are you busy this evening?

No, I don't have any plans.

Then may I treat you to dinner?

Before I introduce you to my boyfriend,

I'd like to join you for dinner.

Is Korean food okay with you?

How about the Go-hyang Restaurant?

I go there often.

Then should we meet there at about 8pm?

Yes.

Hello.

Are you busy?

We need to talk.

I'm outside of the office right now.

I've spoken to Director Hong.

Want to talk about this over the phone?

I'll be back by 4pm.

Then I'll see you later.

Mom, what are you doing?

Can't you see?

You've been looking lonely lately.

But that guy's young enough to be your son!

What did you say?

Do you like him that much?

What are you imagining?

Wipe away your drool.

Why, you...

Now you're accusing me of things?

I'm not drooling, and there's nothing to wipe away!

You're looking all googly-eyed while looking at a picture of a youg guy.

Why, you little...!

You're going to give me a bump on my head!

If I had it my way, I'd give you 10 bumps on your head,

you blockhead!

Mom, are you really my mother?

And you, are you really my daughter?

Do you really think I'm looking at this picture as eye-candy?

I'm looking for a husband for Se-na.

What about Mr. Cha Gun-woo?

I thought she was dumped?

Men are like buses, when they leave, they're gone for good.

They're standing in line to meet with Se-na.

People are standing in circles for a chance to meet with Laura Kang!

That many?

The only thing she lacks is a good family,

but she's perfect otherwise.

She's pretty, she's got a slim s-line going on, and she's smart.

Very few girls have what she has.

Mom, I'm pretty too, am I right?

My eyes and mouth cannot lie.

You don't stand a chance next to Se-na.

I know!

It's because I take after you!

What's that? Why, you...!

You're partly to blame for my lack of brain cells!

Oh my, do you really think so?

Yea!

Don't blame that on me!

You're not my mother.

You can't be my birth mother.

Isn't our deal over?

Why are you doing this, Detective Kim?

Please don't tell Cha Gun-woo about this.

Okay.

I'll meet you at the Go-Hyang Restaurant at 8pm.

I'll see you there.

When did you get here?

Just now.

Did you overhear?

Overhear what?

I just got here right now.

It's nothing. Forget it.

What did the director have to say to you?

She's got someone to follow you around.

What?

What do you mean?

She's beginning to suspect you and me.

Are you saying that she's found out about us?

She has a picture of you and me together last night.

What should we do?

I can tell her that you were distraught because of the director,

and that I was comforting you as Song-ah's friend.

Can you tell her that for me?

I don't want you to get hurt.

You don't know how much I care about you.

Are you leaving?

Don't worry about it.

Gun-woo, do you want to have dinner together?

I have a business meeting.

Are you still mad?

I'm not angry.

I'll call you later tonight.

You had a long face during the day,

and now you seem happy.

Are you bi-polar or something?

It's nothing like that.

Then what is it?

Am I obligated to tell you about my personal life?

Yea, okay.

A woman's facial expression changes in accordance to her love life.

And what makes you such an expert?

Want me to prove it?

Prove what?

That I know what you're thinking.

What?

Delinquent.

What?

You think I'm a delinquent?

Oh my, can you read minds, Chief?

It was a guess.

From the countless description choices, how can you call me a delinquent?

And when I'm sitting right here in front of you.

Yes, Chairman.

I told you to find Kang-min, so why aren't you on it!

I'm still looking for him.

With Kang-min away from his position,

Director Hong's been targeting Laura Kang.

I want you to manage Laura Kang while Kang-min's away.

We can't let Director Hong take her from us!

Is Laura Kang that important?

In my opinion...

You don't know anything!

You don't even have Kang-min's judge of character,

so what is it that you're good at?

[My brother]

Hyun-ah.

Manager Koo, by the time you see this,

I'll be away on business to Shanghai.

I'm bashful, so I'm sending you this once I've left Seoul.

When I get back, let's have lunch together.

Hyun-ah.

Are you busy?

I have a dinner appointment, so is it urgent?

Then get back to your business.

I'll talk to you at home.

Don't think that I'm acting without my reasons.

I know.

But I'd like to know what those reasons are.

I can't tell you anything now.

Why not?

I'll tell you once I'm certain.

That's all you have to know.

Se-na, are you off of work?

Yea. I'll see you tomorrow.

Se-na, do you have some time later?

I'm sorry.

I have an appointment this evening.

Is it important?

Yea.

I have to introduce someone to my boyfriend tonight.

That's disappointing.

You're introducing him to someone else before me?

My goodness...

Who cares about the order?

You'll meet him soon enough.

Okay. I'm curious.

I want to meet your boyfriend.

Then I'll see you.

Okay.

Where is Kang Se-na's reservation table?

Room number 3.

Director, have you arrived?

Yes, come to room number 4.

Go in now.

There you are, Honey...

Who are you?

Look here.

Madam...!

What did you say?

Is that true?

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

Do you still think that she committed suicide?

Do you think someone pushed Hyun-ah that day?

What?

Then are you suspecting murder?

How dare you raise your voice!

Can't you separate family from business?

You're sending him away to break us apart!

That's enough!

Answer me! Why are you doing this?

Is Cha Gun-woo really the right man to join your family?

Don't worry about me,

even if you can't get a hold of me.

What do you mean by that?

Gun-woo, I'm sorry.

I don't think I can marry you.
