Original subtitles

And you think Jisu is lacking? Her education is lacking?

She's not good enough to be Haesung's daughter?

That's what you think!

No dignity or sophistication...

All you can say is how much she lacks!

Tell me about Sunok Jo first!

Are you the one who hid Sunok Jo?

How about you?

Myunghee Noh, you!

You, who believes she's so dignified and sophisticated.

Myunghee Noh, you!

Is this how you lost your daughter en route to an affair?

Our Eunseok?

That... What...

What are you trying to say right now?

You lost Eunseok on your way to see a man,

and because of that, she almost died that day.

Eunseok almost died? That's nonsense!

If Sunok Jo didn't keep watching,

how would she have known Taesu Seo's family took her?

She said he was Sunok Jo's high school senior.

He was at her high school to give a lecture.

That's how she knew he was Taesu Seo.

That's how we were able to find Jisu, who was being raised in that home.

No.

Sunok Jo didn't watch her.

It was pure luck.

So, I'm asking how you know that?

TO JAESUNG CHOI

JIAN SEO IS NOT EUNSEOK CHOI

I thought Sunok Jo sent the message saying Jian Seo wasn't Eunseok Choi.

You emphatically said that it wasn't true.

She was the most likely suspect,

but you said you didn't know where she lived.

Isn't it more important to know who sent me the message?

I think it's from that woman, Sunok Jo.

It's not her.

You don't have to worry. I took care of her.

But don't you want to find out where she lives?

I'm tracking her.

I thought there was a possibility that you knew where Sunok Jo was.

Your firm denials aroused my suspicions.

Tell Chief Jung to add more people and watch over them around the clock.

Yes, Madam!

As expected, you didn't send Jo away.

-That's why I went to look at her house. -You went to Sunok Jo's house?

I didn't receive a notice though.

You have too much faith in your money.

Money loses its power in front of a bigger amount.

I heard from Sunok Jo and her husband.

Even the fact that Sunok Jo was holding Eunseok in front of you,

that you ran off as if you were blind, though with eyes wide open.

I learned of that only then.

But then...

They said they can't wait longer.

Did you finish setting things up in the Philippines?

Yes, a long time ago.

Then purchase the tickets now and send them off tomorrow.

Take them directly to the airport.

As for 1 billion won, have them receive it when they arrive in the Philippines.

That was to be expected.

You hung on to them until the anniversary, to keep them quiet.

To the people that starved my daughter

and made her feel lonely and scared from morning to night,

you let them go, and even gave them 1 billion won.

I thought of that picture at that time.

I ordered an investigation

because I felt uneasy over what Taesu Seo said before.

You ordered an investigation?

There were no hiking trails or residences where I found Jisu.

-It was an isolated spot. -A place completely void of humans?

I wanted to know exactly where my daughter was abandoned.

It's extremely isolated.

There were about ten houses across the bridge.

Due to a large forest fire, everyone left the area.

It's still a very isolated place. It would've been even worse 25 years ago.

And in that place, Eunseok was alone until night.

She was crying for such a long time,

yet they just watched from their cars?

I was outraged. And she's letting these people go?

And I remember the photo I received while doing my investigation.

What do you mean...

In that photo, there were no places one might watch from a car for hours.

That's why I went looking for Sunok Jo again.

I had to verify it before you sent them to the Philippines.

Did you say you watched over Eunseok until someone took Eunseok?

Of course. That's why we saw Taesu Seo come and take her.

Tell me exactly where you hid while watching her.

Inside the bushes.

In the bushes where? Before you cross the bridge, or after?

Well... it was... before you cross the bridge, right?

Twenty-five years ago, there was a narrow path before you cross the bridge.

With only farmland around it.

It was the same once you cross the bridge.

It was on a mountain slope, so there was no place for you to park your car.

Did you watch over her?

Until when did you watch over her?

You took our Eunseok at the Yangpyeong rest area around 10:30 a.m.

You said you dropped her off at that bridge in Jeongseong right away.

Then from 1:00 p.m on...

For the five hours until Taesu Seo came and took her,

where were you guys watching from?

We weren't waiting in the car,

but hiding underneath the bridge.

For four hours?

Yes. We almost died, too.

We didn't even eat lunch.

Taesu Seo discovered her after nine hours of her being there.

Sunok Jo went to her friend's house in the countryside

and had a drinking party after leaving Eunseok.

And as they went back to Seoul at night, it rained.

He hit a telephone pole while driving drunk in the rain.

We stopped by a bodyshop to fix our car.

I saw Eunseok looking at me inside a car parked near the bodyshop.

Hello, nice to meet you all.

I graduated from Han Taek High School's 15th graduating class.

My name is Taesu Seo.

What do you all think that marketing employees do?

It was Mr. Taesu Seo who came to give a special lecture three years before.

I recognized a successful businessman from my neighborhood.

Are you asking how that could have caused Eunseok's death?

A new bridge was constructed in 1993.

That night...

on August 19, 1992, the first bridge washed out in a storm.

You aren't someone who's easily convinced.

But you believed Sunok Jo, who told you she watched until Eunseok was taken.

Instead of doubting Sunok Jo,

you, while delirious after a car accident,

lied about someone taking Eunseok.

Really, you were afraid your carelessness in not checking on your daughter

before you left the rest area would be revealed.

If that lie were to surface, you feared why you were in Yangpyeong,

and who you were going to meet, would be revealed!

You knew all that,

yet you hid them from me?

Yes, I hid them.

It's possible that what you've expected might be why, or it might not be.

If not, there might even be a different reason.

In any case, I couldn't bring it out.

I have no intention to talk with you about what happened 25 years ago.

There is only one reason why I'm telling you this now.

I'm telling you not to mess with Jisu's life.

You don't have the right to do that.

Don't think about sending Jisu to study abroad again.

Don't think about dragging her home.

Don't bother Hyeok Seonu's family either.

And return Mijeong Yang's restaurant.

Are you telling me to give up my daughter?

If you want your daughter, then be a mother.

Don't pull strings as Haesung Group Yangho Noh's daughter, Myunghee Noh.

How can she do this?

Manager Min came to buy the bread shop building.

I'll take care of it.

Don't worry and wait for me.

FATHER

Yes.

Hyeok, I like Jisu, too.

Still, you were too careless.

They came to our cafe and said they'd buy it, too.

Sis, regarding your cafe and Namgu's bakery...

she can't kick you out even if she buys the building.

Your cafe has four years on the lease, and Brother-in-law has three.

It's not because I'm afraid.

I went through this kind of marriage because of Mom, too.

The family became rich suddenly.

But do you know how they look down on people who only trust their money?

Marriage is best done among your own kind.

Families should have backgrounds similar to each other.

Hee, they aren't saying that they want to get married.

That's right. We just started dating.

You only just started dating,

but they're already telling you that they want to buy our building.

What if you develop deeper feelings and want to marry later on?

It's better to break up right now.

What if our fate is just like you and Brother-in-law?

On one hand, I wonder if I became too afraid. It's not like me.

She might be the one,

so I don't want to run away.

I agree.

I'm finished with the vanity, Manager.

-Suntae, pass me the order sheets. -Here.

OK.

Why is she working so hard?

I know right?

This is small, but there's an office and even a front courtyard.

You can utilize the space very efficiently.

But why is the factory being handed over?

He received a loan, then disappeared from his job and everything.

President, the factory manager said he can bring over the machine.

Oh, really?

Good work.

-Now there's only the storage left, right? -Oh yes, let's go.

FACTORY SALES CONTRACT

Well... see you at the final payment day.

Okay.

You said you were going to clean today.

Thank you!

Thank you for taking care of us.

Congratulation, Boss.

What are you saying? We haven't even started yet.

This is all thanks to you.

-Am I now an investor? -You're an investor and secretary.

A dependable Yu! Let's hurry and go to the factory!

Yes.

Suntae, how much wood waste do we have?

A lot, since it's collection day.

That's great. From now on, give all the wood waste to Dogyeong Choi

Why?

I just got a call from Dogyeong.

He signed the contract for the factory and closed the purchase.

Already?

Dogyeong Choi's quite a leader. What kind of factory is it?

It's an organic pellet factory for pets.

Aren't you proud of him? He lowered his standards to his ankles.

That's great.

This time, your mother went too far.

Your mother has always done things her way.

I apologize on her behalf.

It's nothing, but more importantly...

Why are you looking at me like that?

Because you think I might not be able to keep the promise?

What did Mother say?

Keep going to the bakery.

Was it Seonu Hyeok?

She won't touch them.

Also, you don't have to come home.

Really? I can do that?

Thank you so much.

Also, I'll get a place for you.

You are probably more comfortable here, right?

Apartment or mixed use, which one do you like more?

No. The share house is fine with me.

I can't live by myself. I get lonely.

While Dogyeongis at the share house, I want to live there.

Okay, then.

If that's what you want.

Yes.

Moreover, call me anytime if you are uncomfortable or need anything.

Yes, I'll do so.

Does your boyfriend treat you nicely?

Yes, getting to see him everyday seems like a dream.

Hyeok!

-Looks like it went well. -Father took care of everything.

I can go to the bakery,

live in the share house, and keep seeing you, too.

-Really? -Yes.

That's a relief.

I want to meet him, to thank and apologize to him.

Hold on a second.

DOGYEONG

Big brother?

How did your meeting with Father go?

The bakery, the share house, and Hyeok, everything went great!

Father agreed?

Did he get Mother's permission?

I think he took care of it. He said not to worry anymore.

Really? That's great. Tell Jian, too.

Yes, I have to do that. I'll hurry and do that now.

Yes, I got it. Bye.

It turned out great.

Vice-Chairman... It couldn't have been easy. I'm so grateful.

I'm so grateful, but I'm also so sorry to Father.

Contact him from time to time and meet him.

He was different to me, too.

I'm also sorry to you.

You had to go back home suddenly because of me.

I was going to go back anyway.

I was going to go back when you came.

Really?

You left without your clothes or food. I thought it was an impulse.

You couldn't even bring your clothes. I went to the market.

I want to go to Daebang-dong, too...

but it's going to be difficult for Mom and Dad if I do.

You can't come to our house.

I know. Still, it's great that we got to sleep together like before.

I'm glad, too. Other than the fact that it was a little crowded because of you.

Hey!

How's working here?

When I work with wood, the time flies by

and I don't have random thoughts. It's great.

Ah, I knew it when you made a wood organizer for me.

I'm so happy that you are doing what you wanted to do.

Then leave now. I have to finish this.

Why? I want to wait until you're done.

Let's go to the share house and make dinner with your food.

At the share house?

Yeah. I can't cook, so I'll work hard on helping.

About that--

Oh, wait a second.

MYUNGSHIN

Yes, Myungshin?

Tomorrow? I have time.

It's a congratulatory reunion, how can I not go?

Welcome home.

What about your dinner?

I ate already.

Bring us some tea.

I'll return Mijeong Yang's restaurant when Dogyeong comes back.

When Dogyeong comes back?

Even if she did save Eunseok in the past,

she switched daughters. It's not something to be grateful for.

On top of that, Dogyeong got sidetracked because of Jian Seo coming into our home.

She's been an extreme burden to our family.

Are you still calculating this?

She wasn't supposed to disappear anyway.

Stop saying things that you're not supposed to.

What?

If you knew this 25 years ago and didn't say a word in these 25 years,

you should have kept this secret until the day you died.

Why I did what I did then...

Would you like it if I started talking about it?

As soon as we married, you treated me so coldly.

You married me knowing I was Haesung Group's daughter, right?

Betrayal can fuel doing anything.

There's no point in talking to you.

I met with Jisu.

I told her she can go to the bakery, stay at the share house,

and see her boyfriend without worrying.

Furthermore, that his family would be okay.

It's like you.

Is he OK?

How long has he been working?

That's right.

The only way to overcome a heartbreak is work.

Abusing one's own body.

-Jian says she's coming now. -Really?

Go back and sleep, you have to work tomorrow.

She says she's almost here. I have to see her before I sleep.

It's been a couple of months since she was back.

I'm curious about Jisu, too.

Yeah. I got a text saying that she was fine, though.

Mother, by chance, are you intending to stay in the countryside?

No.

No, it's not that.

I'm just telling you to not worry about us.

We won't be a burden to you guys until we die.

Father said that several times, as if they were his last words.

And I'm going to start working now.

Mother-in-laws these days don't really care after their grandkids.

No, I can do that no matter what.

But Sua's thoughts on that are more important.

I'm back!

Big brother!

It feels real, now that I hear you saying that.

Jian, you're finally back.

Let's skip embarrassing words like "It's good to see you," brother.

If her father said that, then Jisu should feel more relaxed.

That's really great for Jisu.

Jisu's problems are solved. Dad's are also being solved.

And now, your daughter is back.

Now we're all care-free.

Do you think Father's issues are being resolved?

How can Dad abandon us?

When I said I was afraid of walking in the dark, he lit up my path, not his.

His face turned grim when he heard your story.

It wasn't even a difficult thing.

Yet we didn't care for him.

When do you think Father might realize that his symptoms are diminishing?

About a month?

If we keep trying.

It seems like she's really resolving the problems with that household's son.

I want to visit Dad with Jisu.

I feel like that would be the best medicine for him.

I have something to say, too.

Mother, it's about Sua.

Didn't you say she's busy training?

It's fine that she isn't contacting us. Don't worry.

It's late.

You guys should go to sleep, too.

Jian...

thank you for coming back.

Brother, why is Mom behaving like that?

Is there something wrong?

What's that on you head?

A big dust!

It's all over you.

What happened at the factory?

I'm the one to ask you questions.

What are you two doing sitting there?

We were watching a movie in an open living room.

You can't stay together after 10 p.m.

He's worse than parents.

That's an immediate yellow card if you're in the room together.

You're out.

Brother! It's not like that.

It's late! Let's go back to our own rooms. Let's go!

-Sleep well, Jisu! -Sleep well, Hyeok!

Father, what are you doing here now?

I couldn't sleep. So I came here thinking that no one else could, too.

I guess people sleep soundly around here.

I don't know if I'm eating rice grains or rocks...

-Boil porridge. -Yes, sir.

Choi, you seem healthy. You eat well.

Breakfast is said to be a natural remedy.

Then use that energy to bring Dogyeong home.

Since when did this household turn into an ordinary household

where people do whatever they please?

Are we just any household?

We're Haesung Group.

So brazenly, without permission or discussion...

Yes, she's your daughter and my granddaughter.

With a father's heart, you let Jisu leave this home.

Just as you did whatever pleases you...

But wrap up things with Dogyeong.

You can't even do what you want to do with Dogyeong.

How could I? I'm not confident, Chairman.

What did you think, that I'd ask you to drag Dogyeong back by his neck?

I laid down the base. I went to Taesu Seo's house

and sowed the seeds of fear.

You went to their house?

What did you do when you went there?

I struck him twice.

You hit Taesu Seo?

I'm sure her mother and father told Jian,

and she would've told Dogyeong out of shock.

After Dogyeong heard you let Jisu go, he'd turn to you.

He'd seek your help. He wouldn't dare come to me directly.

I know that they have no relationship with one another.

So I'm telling you to verify if that's true, and bring him here.

Why are you such a soft man?

What can I do?

I have a weak bronchus and lungs, but this is why I keep working.

Shouldn't I see my company become one of the top ten groups before I die?

Jian!

Big brother!

I thought you were Jian because the clothes were so similar.

Ah, I don't have my clothes, so I wore the clothes she left behind.

I see.

I have to go to the factory.

Why did he come to the kitchen?

Father, are you not coming to Seoul? Please call me when you do.

I wish they'd let me know how Jisu is doing...

JIAN

You picked up as soon as I called!

Were you waiting for my call?

No, well. I was talking to someone and just finished.

Anyway, I'll tell you about Jisu first.

Jisu's problems were all solved by her father.

She's going to live in the share house, work at the bakery,

and she's allowed to date.

Really?

How was he able to allow all of that?

Right? I was also surprised.

That household is ridiculous.

What about you? Are you fine?

What about me?

Oh, that person? Of course.

Dad, I only liked him a little.

Besides, am I that dense?

I'd look before I leap.

I ended it well.

Don't worry.

Dad, I called you on my way to work.

Okay. Let's end the call.

I'm going home today.

Will you wait for me at home?

With my grandson, Dogyeong Choi...

Should I say their eyes met and fell in love?

A thing that should have never occurred is occurring right now.

No way...

She's quite a temptress.

She's no slouch at handling men.

That's nonsense.

With my grandson, Dogyeong Choi...

A thing that should have never occurred is occurring right now.

Dad!

Oh, I see his shoes...

He's sleeping. Oh, it's cold.

Why are you here again?

I'm sad and don't have anywhere else to go.

Should I start farming in the countryside, too?

Hey! Just because you lost 5 million won, why do you spout nonsense? You're young!

That's true, but I found out I'm not good at selling.

I tried to sell clothes on the street for practice, but...

I totally failed.

If someone who wants to be a salesman can't sell...

It's pouring water into a cracked jar.

-You think there's a trick to sales? -Then what do I do it with?

You do it with your heart, kid!

Geez, how can you run a business with your heart?

That's right. You used to be in marketing.

You went to the Middle East and succeeded in exporting 10,000 towels.

You were in the news for that.

I was.

Dad, how did you sell in the Middle East?

Tell me about that.

To customers,

you're not supposed to show them that you're trying to sell them things.

You can't let them know your intentions.

So, for example, with your clothes,

customers know if it suits them or not.

They know that?

Of course, kid!

They know best if it suits them or not.

You have to persuade them with the idea that you're choosing it for your family.

How did you do it?

HOUSES FOR ANYONE

EVERYONE'S HOME EVENT...

Can I ask you something?

If he told his parents everything,

that means that Jitae has already decided, right?

So why did you have him choose between having a baby or having a divorce?

Well, I did well to ask, though.

He immediately said he wanted a child instead of me.

I was also a little surprised.

I was really jealous, watching you two date for four years.

Jitae seemed consistent.

But he changed as soon as you guys married.

He changed.

But if he really chose having a baby over you,

you shouldn't have one.

If I don't give a birth, he wouldn't divorce me.

What kind of rule is that?

What if there was no baby already?

What?

Congratulations!

Thank you, guys!

A day like this has come for me, too.

I'm so touched!

I even received a handmade necklace and handmade earrings from Jian.

We were so nervous for you.

You've prepared for the public office exam for three years. What if you fail?

Do you know how uncomfortable it is to have an unemployed friend among us?

Ingyeong.

Sorry, Jian.

What are you sorry about?

I'm not unemployed.

You said you were doing part-time work at a wood-working shop.

But I'm still earning money. As long as I can eat and live, it's fine.

Don't be like that. Try the civil service exam.

You have good focus, and you had good grades.

You might succeed in a year. Try preparing for the seventh level.

No. Working in a government office isn't for me. I like to travel.

Why did you quit your job at Haesung? I heard you got a full-time offer.

It didn't match her taste.

Her taste?

You worked so hard for years at that company,

and now you complain that it doesn't match your taste?

Don't tell me that wood-working suits your taste.

Wood suits me.

Hey, doesn't this look so nice?

I think I'll spend my entire life working with wood.

Then what about marriage?

These days, it's tough to get married if you don't have stable jobs as a couple.

You're married though.

My husband's a doctor, so he earns well. Plus, he's from a good background.

So, I heard you cook every Sunday for your in-laws.

Even while eight months pregnant?

They bought me a house in Gangnam, how could I not?

It's fine! Let's stop.

There must be a partner for me somewhere.

Whether I live as a carpenter, crafter, or designer...

Cheers!

Not even for industrial usage...

You're opening up a small store for pets?

This kid.

If you're going to scoff at me, try hitting bottom first like I did,

then talk after you're on the ground.

If you weren't Seongho Group's son, would you be able to?

I would never leave. Never.

Then close your mouth.

Aren't you relaxed only because you have somewhere to go back to?

Is that how you think?

No. I don't know. I don't know anymore.

I can't read you anymore.

It's like that.

You can't see the outside world from inside.

What does that mean?

Home looks different from the inside and the outside.

From the outside, you see the forest. Is that what you mean?

About Jisu...

When they introduced her dressed up as Jian at the anniversary...

I was shocked, but...

I didn't know what that was.

I thought it was possible because of her family then.

That's what I thought.

But... I did something so bizarre.

To maintain face, they made her dress up as someone else and introduce herself.

It wasn't something I should've done.

Making a small sacrifice for the sake of a big goal... It's a common practice.

I'm not sure about business theory.

But she's family.

You were going to win Jian Seo's heart and take her with you.

Seems like you couldn't win Jian Seo, but gained a conscience.

That doesn't help much when you're running a business.

Don't talk about Jian, dude.

I miss her.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

So, did you meet him at the training center?

Yes.

Turns out we went to the same academy.

We might have passed each other more than ten times.

I'm getting goosebumps.

You're quite the romantic type.

Think you just passed by? You probably had eye contact, too.

We probably would, right?

I'm jealous.

It must feel nice, Myungshin.

Jian.

But aren't people weakest at love?

Of course I know why you and Dogyeong Choi can't be together,

but when I listen to your story...

So what I'm saying is, are you OK?

I am shaken, too.

It's hard, having to constantly push him away.

But now, it's all over.

Can't Dogyeong Choi prevent everything?

Dogyeong Choi's father, the vice-president,

was the oldest son of an ordinary family.

But he couldn't pay his respects to his family, even on national holidays.

He didn't visit his parents' cemetery. He said it's natural in that house.

All decisions were made by President Noh and Chairman Noh.

Hey...

I guess they'd never be lenient toward their daughter-in-law.

You'll have to do everything they tell you to.

I have to live to love,

but knowing that this love demands I throw everything away, how could I?

It's the same for him, too.

You said your boyfriend's name was Jeongsu?

It would be nice if Dogyeong was the same, too.

Then...

if only Dogyeong Choi was a regular salary man,

or if only he was someone who chased after his dream business...

And if he was?

Then I would go to his office after finishing my wood work,

and help him out with his work.

After we finish, we'd go for drinks and dinner.

I'd even curse out his co-workers with him if he talks about them.

And if I talk to him about what I made

and what I did at work,

he would say, "You made it well. You're great at crafting things, Jian."

Well, those types of things.

I just want to share the small details of our lives together,

while laughing, being angry,

and eventually coming back together.

We could've been like that.

Is it really impossible for you to marry Dogyeong Choi?

Of course it is.

We aren't even allowed to date.

Contact me when you get home!

Oh, why did I come here?

Let's put some eggs in,

a bunch of ketchup...

Draw a heart. And even more mustard!

As punishment...

It's going to be tasty. We're done.

I feel like we're playing house.

We finished quickly because we worked together.

Jisu, it's going to be more delicious because you made it.

What are you two-- You're stuck together again!

Big brother, we made one for you, too!

Really?

Of course you did.

-You two should enjoy your food. -You don't have to leave.

Jian!

Big brother?

When Jian Seo arrived, he put a lot of effort into being an older brother.

They worked at the company together, so they were always by each other.

He changed then!

He's changed ever since Jian Seo arrived.

What are you thinking?

Hyeok...

I'm thinking of something strange.

Something that doesn't make sense.

What is it? Tell me.

My brother left because he wanted to live his own life.

He even got kicked out of the house, empty-handed.

But about my brother,

did he really meet Jian here again by chance?

It's an emergency.

You and I being friends... This is wrong, don't you think?

Even so, how could he cut me off at once?

We'd built up affection for one another.

Big brother!

Seohyeon, Jisu's clothes are at home right?

Can you pack those for me?

Listen, Big brother. What exactly are you planning on doing?

What happened to you and Jian?

Grandfather went to Jian's family.

What?

Why are you acting like this?

Hurry up and wake up. Come back home. I beg you.

Dogyeong is here?

Yes.

He came to meet me directly?

Grandfather.

Because of you, I wasn't able to go to Hawaii.

I've been here for two months.

I'm drinking tea instead of my medicine. So, wait.

Please just listen to me first.

You can answer after you finish the tea.

I heard you went to Jian's home.

Why did you go?

You didn't come home.

Because I didn't come home, you went to Jian's home?

We're nothing to each other.

It's exactly that.

You both said that you two had no relationship with each other.

You even said that you gave up on her.

Then you should've came back.

But since you didn't come back, that meant you were lying.

That's why I gave them a warning.

Grandfather!

You took Jisu away!

You two conspired on that!

For Jian Seo to do something like that, going up against the Haesung family...

It means she has your back. There's no other reason, but that.

It's because she loves Jisu, who used to be her younger sister.

Then come back.

You said you mean nothing to each other.

Even more of a reason to come back.

I'm telling you to prove yourself.

But you didn't come back.

So you and Jian Seo were lying to me.

The next time,

will I only slap Taesu Seo?

Jian's father...

did you strike him?

You didn't hear from Jian Seo?

-I didn't come because I heard from Jian. -Let's just say that I did.

I hit him twice. Everything else was a warning.

A warning that you'd hurt his family...

You threatened them.

Like Mother.

The person who made me act so uncivilized was you, Dogyeong.

Jian Seo!

My Jian Seo!

I won't bring her into the family!

I refuse to bring her to this household!

What?

You're doing this because you're worried that we might marry.

Don't worry, Grandfather.

I won't marry Jian.

I will never.

I could never inflict this household upon her.

What?

And...

I won't go back either.

I'm not going back, regardless of Jian.

What does that mean?

I haven't achieved what I wanted to yet.

I haven't been able to live my life.

You...

You aren't listening to me now.

Are you starting a war with me?

No longer...

am I your puppy.

I am good at household chores.

I was even a restaurant's manager.

Where did you work?

At a hamburger franchise.

Are you working?

Yeah, I'm going to work from now on.

When Jitae's father comes home, I'm going to be the breadwinner.

Are you serious?

Of course, my husband's like that. Do you think I'm lying to you?

I was blind but with eyes wide open, when I didn't know any better.

I wouldn't be human if I pretended to not know.

You didn't work because you were physically weak,

even when Taesu was working alone.

When he thought he had cancer,

do you know what he kept telling me?

He told me not to become a burden to the kids.

Those words really hurt my heart.

Listen, Mijeong, when I came over, someone else was here, too.

A rich-looking old man was here.

Why did he come?

Who? What kind of rich, old man would come over to our house?

Why are you here today, Haeja?

I came to ask if you wanted to grocery shop together.

He asked Taesu to pick out items for distribution.

He's coming home again.

How could this happen? You cancel the contract the day I pay off my balance?

Someone called in saying they'd pay twice the price.

This is your contract deposit.

I apologize for this.

May I know the buyer's name?

His rep was here.

His name is Yangho Noh.

Vice President...

I'm sorry, Secretary Yu.

I want to be alone today.

I'm looking at Dogyeong in a new light.

I didn't know he was at this level.

It's definitely not easy, starting from nothing after a life of luxury.

Do you think he changed after meeting Jian?

Jian has a way of changing people for the better.

It was the same for me.

He'll need wood waste, once he starts the factory.

I'll connect him to the lumber mill in Incheon.

Oh, are you taking care of your future brother-in-law?

He's working in a way that makes me want to help him.

I'll ask to meet him after he pays the balance.

I'll treat him to some beef.

YONGGUK LEE

Yeah, Yongguk?

Oh, it sounds like you're drinking. Are you already celebrating?

No. I fell for it again.

What?

I guess he's been following me.

He's going to continue blocking me from doing it in the future, too.

Dogyeong Choi and Jian both struggled a lot then.

Jian was pushing him away, but Dogyeong couldn't give her up.

Sis.

Jisu!

Why, what's going on? Is something wrong?

What problems could I have?

I've solved them all.

But you're the problem.

How difficult must it have been, because of my brother?

I'm going crazy! You should've told me, at least.

You're one step behind.

It's all over. That's why I didn't tell you.

Let's go out. I'll buy some beer at the convenience store.

I don't like convenience store beer. I won't drink it now.

Then let's go to a bar instead.

You're both offering to buy me drinks.

Let's not do it today. Let's find another day.

I want to finish this quickly.

It's a wooden doll. Who is it?

Father.

Since you're here, clean the sawdust on the floor before you go.

You said Dogyeong Choi would take it.

Oh, yeah... he said he's paying off the factory's balance. Did it go well?

Don't call him.

Huh? Why not?

Chairman Yangho Noh is something.

He took the factory away.

What?

Again?

He stopped him again?

But why? Why?

I left the share house!

We ended our relationship...

Dogyeong went back without any ties to me!

How can he do that?

How could he live like that, going home empty-handed?

He has his pride!

He's his grandson!

Shouldn't he at the very least protect his grandson's ego?

That's how he can go back confidently.

Ah, what should he do?

If I return home like this, I'd have to live Haesung Family's terms.

That's not the life I want.

I won't go back home until I become independent.

Jian Seo, it's not because of you now.

Jian Seo, what made you come?

Please give this to Dogyeong.

There are used pellet machines on sale.

This file is about that. You can sort them by kind.

As long as he has machines and a cheap factory, he can do it, right?

I heard he already did a test run. He already obtained the license.

As for the factory, can you look into it?

You know many factories who are into social enterprises.

Ah, Wonjoo might know about some, too.

Did you spend the entire night researching this?

He said he couldn't take it if he missed this chance and go back home.

But don't tell him that I found it.

It isn't good for him to know.

I understand.

Dogyeong Choi, I want to talk to you.

-It's still early, what is it? -I've decided to consider your business.

Your business item is up-cycling, right?

It matches my investment requirement.

-Investor? -I'm not saying that I'm giving you money.

I'm connecting you to a factory and machines...

and giving you things like this.

What do you mean by this?

Used machines.

The machines you need to make pellets...

It's all in here.

I received them before Jian went to work.

She probably worked overnight for this.

Jian gave you this?

Yeah. She asked me to say I did it,

but I can't help it.

This...

I asked Wonjoo to look for a factory.

He works in the upcycling industry.

There's even an industry association.

First, look over these.

Thanks.

But where did you go, all dressed like that?

Haesung Group.

I had to firm up my resolve.

No matter how much Grandfather blocks me,

even if I do part-time jobs for a hundred years,

I will never start using his money.

That's what I thought.

Then here, I got a gift.

Hello!

Manager, Suntae, Jian.

I'm Dogyeong Choi. I'll be taking your wood waste for free from now on.

If you gather it, I'll take it and put it to good use.

I'd be grateful if you'd throw away what you can.

Are you asking us to trash perfectly good wood?

When you're in doubt, just throw it away.

I'm busy today, so I will be taking my leave now.

Has something already been decided?

Manager, I'll go over to the mall office for ten minutes.

Where are you going?

I...

I had something to ask Yongguk.

I can tell you about that.

Did you spend all night on this?

You couldn't give this to me directly.

You couldn't be openly worried for me.

Why do we have to be like this?

It's friendship.

Friendship?

I know it's not right.

It's clear... that I don't want to go back.

You said you didn't want to live under your grandfather's watch.

Are you going to marry me?

I won't marry you.

You won't marry me too, right?

Let's just date, Jian.

I told you I didn't want to marry you.

But...

I want to date you.

So...

let's only date, Jian.

Let's do it.

Let's only date.

Just date.

Let's do it.

Only date.

Okay.

Only date.

-Jian! -You're here?

Let's go! Let's do everything that everyone else does.

Lovers always stand here and go...

What did you do with Sora Jang?

What did you eat with Sora Jang? Where did you go with her?

How much longer is branch manager Dogyeong Choi on vacation for?

I don't know who she is, but what if he can't give up the girl

and abandons Haesung Group?

-Mother. -Jian, we meet again.

Are you in your right mind?

Dogyeong, let's meet.

Dogyeong.
