"Episode 30" "Where is Baek Ingi?" "Say what?" "I told you to keep her there!" "You get paid all that money and can't even do a simple task?" "I'm sorry, Ma'am." "We're actually looking for her as well, since there's a shoot tomorrow." "Shoot?" "What damned shoot?" "!" "Find her and bring her to me right now, before I close the whole damned agency!" " Are you sure you don't know where she is?" " I really don't." " She's with Kim Minjae, right?" " That's likely." "Hurry up and look into it, or we might find ourselves out of a job." "What are you waiting for?" "Minjae." "Let's never separate again." "Is Baek Ingi acting up again?" "Why bother worrying about that, at Minjae's age?" "!" "Is he anything like you, my Minjae?" "Of course not, since he's a thoroughbred and I'm not." "Just because the chairman said that, don't expect to be given that job on a silver platter." "I know." "Next time you come here, knock before you enter." "I did." "You just were too busy screaming on the phone to hear it." "I'll come later, after you calm down." "Honey." "Did Minjae come to work?" "Let's talk at home." "He'll come back, I'm sure." "Honey..." "Minjae has lost it." "Next week, we'll reorganize personnel from scratch." "File all the paperwork for the chairman to sign." "Yes." "I'll get right on it, Vice-chairman." " You may leave." " Yes." "Kim Seongjae." "Kim Seongjae!" "Come here and take care of these." "Are you deaf?" "You just say that because you haven't seen Minjae at the hospital." "He felt like a stranger!" " Honey..." "Are you listening?" " Tell me." "You never know what he might do." "Think of how much he'd resent me." "He didn't even let me go to her wake." "Honey..." "You're still there, right?" "Why aren't you saying anything?" "You don't even care about Minjae?" "You've seen him yourself." "How he just ignored me, and left with Baek Ingi." "I'm busy now, let's talk later." "Minjae." "Just let her go now." "There's no need to feel sorry." "It's not like she was free of blame." "She still abandoned you." "If it's because you feel bad about sending her off this way, let's just bury her ashes somewhere." "Would you prefer that?" "I'm sure you don't want to admit it, but your mother is Yoon Nayoung." "So what if someone else gave birth to you?" "Children need to be raised." "Only someone who raised you can call herself your mother." "Give it here." "I'll do it for you." "Don't look back and go." "Ajumma..." "I'll take good care of Minjae." " Come on in." " Did my husband arrive?" " I only saw Youngmin?" "!" " Have you heard the good news?" "What good news?" "Looks like your husband will soon be released on bail?" "!" " Who said that?" " Mister Hong." "Aigoo..." "How can I believe that man's words?" "This is the same guy who told Youngdae to turn himself in without worries." "My folks are trying to help as well, so don't worry." "I don't." "The more he suffers in there, the quicker his father will throw that chairman seat at him to make it up." "A blessing in disguise, then." "Heejeong, you're working hard?" "!" "Hard?" "!" "Compared to what her father is going through, this is nothing." "Mom..." "Grandma doesn't even appreciate it, why bother doing all this?" "Just so she'll feel guilty." "What is Mother doing?" "Aigoo..." "Run that trap all the time, will you..." "Think I volunteered to do the chores at my age just out of fun?" "We need to save your father first." "I bet it feels great, having your eldest daughter-in-law serve you." "Yeah, right." "She's pestering me all day just to save her husband's behind." "I thought you liked her because she feels like a friend." "I was just talking..." "By the way, Mother." "Thank you." "I never imagined you cared so much about Youngjun." "You were responsible for his release." "Although it's too bad that Youngdae had to go in instead." "Why would you feel bad?" "It was Youngdae who schemed all this behind our backs." "Thank you, Mother." "I'll never forget what you did for us." "Are things with Youngjun going better?" "Of course." "He's finally woken up." "Did he wrap it up with that woman?" "What was there to wrap up anyway?" "He just did that because he was upset with me." "Right." "Try to treat him with some warmth." "Why do you think he had an affair with that hi..." "Am I getting a cold or something?" "My poor nose is all blocked." "What are they talking about in there?" " Mom." " You just stay put." "We're surrounded by enemies, so shouldn't we eavesdrop what they're saying, and help save your father?" " Is this all?" " Yes, Father." "Are you sure people won't protest this kind of restructuring?" "We're proceeding in secret." "We can't let some of our best minds work for the company Youngjun will run." "Still, there will be strong resistance." "We're riddled with way too many useless executives." "They might have been with the company since its foundation, but cutting just one..." "Let's take our time." "Father." "If I am to manage the group instead of you," "I want to do it my way." "Please give me your consent." "If you do, I'll restructure the group in a way that will satisfy you." "Father." " All right." " Thank you." "What's next?" " What's this?" " A business plan." "If Atlantic is to survive in the long run, we must invest in the high tech sector, and take this opportunity to boldly rid ourselves of inefficient branches." "And when will you build the shipyard?" "Father, even the existing shipbuilding companies are struggling to compete with the Chinese, so entering this sector so late would only..." "Of course I'm well aware of the fact that it's your last dream, however..." "Let's call it a day." "I'm tired." " Father." " I said I'm tired!" " When did you get here?" " Is Youngmin in the studio?" "They've been in there for over an hour." "I wonder what he and his father are talking about..." "Don't, Nayoung." "Father seemed really angry." "No matter how smart Youngmin is, think he'll ever win him over?" "With his father's personality, what do you think he'll do, anyway?" "Here." "It's your favorite, croaker in pepper paste." "You always say the one you buy is no good, so your mother-in-law made it herself." "Have some of this dropwort salad, too." "Your father screamed in Youngmin's face several times today." "I wonder what got him so angry, but he even told him to just go home." "Who could possibly handle Father's fickle temper?" "He seemed to only have eyes for Youngmin, and look at all the complaints now." "You just wait." "He won't last long." "What's the matter with you?" "Try some of that dropwort." "And the croaker your mother-in-law made." "Here." "If you seal the contract, everything will be settled." "Yes." "Congratulations, and good luck." "We'll give you all the help you need." "Thank you." "Why bother talking back to your father and getting him angry?" "He just put you in charge." "What made him angry?" "Honey!" "Don't you know what will happen if you fall out of favor with him?" "I didn't agree to run the group just to be manipulated by my father." "What's that supposed to mean?" "As long as I'm in charge, I'll run things my way." "Honey!" "You haven't completely taken over yet." "I'm not going to end up like my brothers." "Are you out of your mind?" "Are you going to ruin a golden opportunity like this?" "Your brother Youngdae is in prison, Youngjun is out of the game already..." "You're the only one your father has left." "If you just do what he tells you, you'll soon get your hands on the entire group." " That's why it's an opportunity." " Say what?" " It is time he stops being so stubborn." " Let's first deal with Minjae before you do that." "If Yang Insuk's name is brought up, it'll put you in an awkward position." "Stop trying to interfere with Minjae's life." "If you had just kept quiet, I would have dealt with Yang Insuk myself." "She would have quietly gone back to the States." "You made things even more complicated, saying you'd take care of her." "So, what, now it's my fault?" "Why did you force her to go through surgery against her will, then?" "Leave Minjae alone." "No matter whether he shows defiance or feels lost, let him do what he wants." "He'll eventually wake up and come back on his own." "Honey..." "But Minjae will..." "It's because you keep acting like this that he's losing it!" "Remember." "Before Minjae begs you to forgive him, don't even think about welcoming him back." "You're with Minjae, aren't you?" "Tell me." "Let me talk to him." "He just fell asleep." "Wake him up." "He hasn't slept since the other day." "Where are you?" "We've been wandering about all day, as he kept saying he didn't know where to bury his mother." "After wandering all day," "I finally managed to calm him down, and we spread her ashes in the sea." "Let me talk to him." "Just do it." "He's deep asleep." "Lying on my legs." "As if he was in his mother's embrace." "It all feels so sad." "Just like a little bird with broken wings falling off its nest, he's trembling all over." "Let me talk to Minjae." "I'm asking you, Ingi." "Looks like he might be dreaming." "Dreaming about his mother." "He's smiling." "I'll do everything you ask me." "I'll even let you shoot that film, and let you out of our exclusive contract." "So just send Minjae back to me." "If you miss him that much, come and take him." "You know where I live, don't you?" "Yes..." "Come." "Come and take him back with you." "What are you, scared?" "Of seeing him." "I suppose you are." "I'm actually curious as well." "About his reaction." "Just take Minjae home." "Ingi..." "I can't let Minjae go back to her." "And I won't, no matter what." "Eonni." "You'll help me as well, won't you?" "More trouble is ahead..." "Thanks, Eonni..." "What you said is right." "He's not even my son..." "That's not what I meant." "Could she compare with the woman who gave birth to him?" "Someone who just raised him." " Where are you going?" " I need to go to work." "Go get changed at home first." " Want me to drive you home?" " Nah." "Wait." "If they say anything at home, think of me and smile." "All right?" "Go for it." "[" " Baek Ingi's Attempts Suicide Because of Depression?" "]" " A Blank Check for Baek Ingi " " Baek Ingi Denies Rumors of Drug Use with 2nd Gen Chaebol " "These were all published already." "Is this what you call her weak spot?" "Well..." "I suppose that's all." "She's not exactly the secretive type." "But President Hwang always talked of a secret that could destroy her?" "!" "I'm sure that if such a thing existed, he would have put it to good use already." " In this trade..." " I'll give you another few days." "Find what that secret is." "Why aren't you answering me?" "If you're not up for it, send someone else." "I'll look into it." "Director Jang." "I suggest you don't get on my bad side." "Unless you want to regret it for the rest of your days." "Minjae!" " Go." " Yes, Ma'am." "Minjae." "I'm sorry." "I never imagined the surgery could go that way." "I know that it's not your fault." "The doctor said he was confident." "That there might be side effects, but..." "Mom." "I don't resent you." "You raised me all these years, how could I?" "But..." "Things can't be the same as they were." " Minjae..." " They just can't." "Neither you nor I can go back to the past." "Nothing changed, Minjae." "You still mean everything to me." "I was thinking about it at the funeral home." "About whom I should call." "I had nowhere to turn to." "Neither you nor Dad." "The only face that came to mind was Baek Ingi's." "Minjae..." "You know that your father has become vice-chairman, right?" "Your grandfather is as good as retired." " So for your father's sake..." " What does he have to do with me anyway?" "What are you talking about?" "I might have not given birth to you, but you're his son." "It's not like he wanted me!" "I'm going to live my own life from now on." "What are you doing?" "Are you leaving home?" "I can't live in this house anymore." "Don't you know why Yang Insuk abandoned you?" "It was because of money." "Don't insult my mother that way." "I was behind that deal." "Promising I'd give her everything she wanted, if she gave you up." " Mom, please..." " She's been selling you off for the last 20 years, blackmailing me for more money every chance she got!" "I'm sorry, Minjae." "I just got angry, that's all..." "You're right, she didn't do it for the money." "Yang Insuk just..." "Don't ever call her name in my presence again." "Minjae!" "Hate me instead, Minjae!" "It's my fault, anyway." " Let go, Mom!" " You can't leave this house!" "Mom..." "I love you." "Whatever you might have done, I can forgive you." "So why do you want to leave?" "I can't stand to see my father anymore." "Because every time I look at him, my poor mother will come to mind." "She couldn't say a word, even though her beloved son was sitting right next to her!" "I can understand why you never told me." "You loved me like a real child and more, how could you possibly admit that you weren't my real mother?" "!" "Still..." "Dad is different." "Dad could have told me." "Mom." "Please, let me go." "Unless you want to see me dead." "Hang in there, Minjae." "So you're just going to restructure as you wish?" "The group is riddled with debts." "I'll take this opportunity to rid ourselves of all the dead weight." "Don't touch my branch." "I'll take care of it on my own." "You won't be able to." "So I'll first handle this and give it back to you." " Are these orders from Dad?" " Just my idea." "I've heard you asked him to postpone the shipyard's construction?" "What's the point of building one now?" "Could we do better than third or fourth in the sector?" "We will invest in the high tech industry." "It's the only way Atlantic Group can reach the top." "Youngmin." "Don't try to win Dad over." "It's the only way our group will survive." "Don't worry about me." "As if I can't beat him, I'll quietly step down on my own." "Dad, transfer me elsewhere." "Working here feels like hell, Dad!" "What is he talking about?" "I apologize." "Forget about all that nonsense and worry about working hard." "President." " Just in case you didn't know." " Go ahead." "Go ahead and tell me." "The vice-chairman is planning to get rid of all the chairman's supporters within the group." "Things are tense these days." "Did Youngmin plan all this on his own, or is it something my father ordered?" " What are you referring to?" " Why, you don't know?" "I just heard the news myself." "Who's manipulating Youngmin from behind?" "How could someone who had no idea about the company's inner workings... plot something so huge all on his own?" "Looks like there's a misunderstanding here, but I have nothing to do with this." "Take good care of the chairman until the very end." "You may leave." "Yes." " All Yoon Jeongsuk " "So were you able to get that loan?" "Yes." "Aigoo..." "It's so hard to get one these days, but good for you." "Even the bank was surprised to see I kept saving without ever spending a penny." " We're saved." " So now we can run both places!" "Aigoo..." "Jeongsuk!" "Thank you for saving us as well." "I can afford that much." "Don't you worry about it." "Listen, Jeongsuk." "We can just go elsewhere, if this is too much of a burden." "No..." "What burden?" "!" "We just feel guilty..." "You're having it hard enough as it is." "We can just work hard and pay her back." "Isn't that right, Jeongsuk?" "We'll learn to make fried chicken today." "You take the seasoning and dip the chicken into it." " Incoming Call " "Nayoung?" "How did you find this number?" "Finding a phone number is a piece of cake." "You can run away and change your number all you want." "I'm busy now." "Let me call you later." "So you're opening a fried chicken house?" "Who told you that?" "Don't try to call Youngjun." "You haven't, right?" "I haven't." "I won't." "It's the reason I left." "When you open, let me know." "I'll come have a look." "Nayoung." "You can just leave me alone." "I'm not going to meet him again." "How can I trust you?" "Anyhow, just keep in mind the fact that you won't run away from me." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Everyone at home knows already." "So Minjae is not your son?" "Who said that nonsense?" "Even Kang Geumhwa seemed to know..." "What's with the surprised look?" "I thought you knew already." "Maybe I shouldn't have told you?" "!" " Anyhow, she's really pathetic." " Who?" "Who do you think?" "Yoon Nayoung." "Did you get fooled again?" "This time she won't get out of this so easily?" "Enough with the hints and just spell it out." "What is it?" "Turns out that Yoon Nayoung didn't give birth to Minjae." " Maybe even the father is someone else?" " What are you saying?" " What were you counting?" " I mean..." "I did date her, so I was wondering..." "I just did it to surprise you." "How nice would it be to expose another big one..." "If I said that she got rid of a child after you knocked her up..." "Bombs would start dropping all over her." "I was curious myself." "Whether she actually gave birth to this child and hid it somewhere." " Just say it." " If I knew anything, I would have done it already." "My wife is driving me crazy because she can't have children..." "Think of how great it would be, if I had a child hiding somewhere?" " Why, want to raise it?" " Of course." "Anyhow, I sure am unlucky." "Of all the women I could have had, I ended up choosing one who can't have children." "Wait..." " Maybe I'm the problem?" " What problem?" "I'll have to get a check-up at the hospital." "I might be the reason she can't have children." "You cunning little..." "The moment I heard Youngmin was seeing someone, I went to New York." "But it turns out I was too late already." "She was already pregnant with his child." "I knew you'd be able to make it." "That you'd rescue Youngmin and save his child as well." "Don't tell Minjae a thing." "What would be the point of learning it now?" "He can just go on thinking you're his real mother." "Honey." "Are you all right?" " Honey..." " Is it... you?" "They said you collapsed?" "How can you imprison someone with diabetes and high blood pressure?" "That's like sentencing him to death." "Dad." " Who are you, again?" " It's me, Gyeongjae." "My poor eyes..." "I can't see a thing." " And you are?" " It's Youngjae, Dad." "Aigoo..." "I thought I'd die without seeing my kids again." "Why would you die?" "You must live to see a better day." "Aigoo..." "I'm so dizzy..." "I'm so dizzy!" " We'll take him to his room." " I'm dying!" "I'm dying!" "Where are we going?" " Cheongpyeong." " Cheongpyeong?" "!" " Why?" " I bought a villa there." "Why?" "Don't want to go?" "Then, we can just go back..." "What are you saying?" "Let's keep going." "So you can show me your villa." "Don't get too excited." "I might only have a glass of wine to give you." "Wine is fine." " What if Dad is ill for real?" " He's always had diabetes." "And high blood pressure." "And you believe that?" "He's just pretending." "Just be grateful." "It's all thanks to the chairman." "Youngmin's wife kept prancing around bragging that she's responsible?" "!" "Don't even bring her up in my presence!" "Aigoo..." "Getting all angry because of something like that?" "Why, are you telling me it's not serious?" "She kept deceiving all of us saying Minjae was her son..." "I can't believe it." "How could she possibly admit it straight in your face?" "You really..." " I was mistaken about her." " Just ignore it." "Think she's feeling any better?" "I don't know her reasons, but you should be grateful she raised him all this time." "It's just embarrassing, that's why." "Think of how much all those chaebol wenches will enjoy this." " Minjae's father is much worse, Mother." " What did Youngmin do?" "He had an affair before he got married, what else?" "He's a man, after all." "So why are you treating Youngshik and Mijin like that?" "Think it's the same situation?" "Well..." "I guess Yoon Nayoung has no excuses." " No Visitors " "Visits for this patient are not allowed." "It's all right." "Go in, then." "She's someone I know..." "How about her?" "Wow..." "Now that's a beauty." "Isn't it?" "This is funny." "Aigoo..." "Aigoo!" "I'm dying!" "Aigoo..." "I'm so dizzy..." "So dizzy..." "So so dizzy..." "Youngmin, is that you?" "How are you feeling?" "I think I can finally breathe now." "You can't imagine how cold it was in that detention cell." "Don't you ever go there." "Looks like the investigation might be a long ordeal." "I guess it's because they can't find anything." "I got rid of all incriminating evidence." "Wait..." "So I hear you became vice-chairman?" "Yes." "Congrats." "Your hand." "Aigoo..." "I'm dying!" "I'm so dizzy..." "Aigoo..." "My blood pressure!" "Aigoo..." "Doctor, I beg you..." "Do something." "I'm so dizzy..." "My head is killing me." "Ahh..." "Doctor Yoon!" "So they put you in charge of me." " Shall we check your blood pressure again?" " Ehh..." "What damned blood pressure?" "!" "Do I get high blood pressure because I'm ill?" "It went up because they trapped me inside that damned cell in this cold." "Your blood pressure was all right, but your sugar levels were quite high." "Mine?" "But I'm just fine?" "!" "It's bad enough that you need insulin injections." "Your kidneys are in pretty bad shape as well." "Then, what..." "Are you telling me I'm really ill?" "Check it again, Doctor Yoon." "Maybe it was a mistake?" "Thank you." "I'm the one who should thank you." "Think of how worried I was, seeing Minjae pack up and leave." "It's a relief that he's staying with you." "It'll pass in a few days." "Tell him to keep going to work." "It's okay even if he doesn't come home for a while." "I was actually telling him the same thing." "And don't let him drink." "Sure." "Go ahead and tell me." " It was you, wasn't it?" " What?" "The one who spread those rumors." " I'm not really..." " No one else knew." "That I'm not Minjae's real mother." "Am I wrong?" "I might have heard it from Minjae, but I never spread such rumors." "Youngshik." "I know what kind of person you are." "And also who made you what you are today." "You could help Minjae get back on track, but also ruin him." "But at least this time, help me get him back on track." "One day, he'll eventually inherit his father's business." "When that happens, your sacrifices will be generously rewarded." "More than Minjae, it's you I worry about." "Me?" "No matter how you put it, it doesn't look good for you." "Don't worry." "Since I'll win this fight as well." "Let them prattle on all they want." "I have nothing to fear." "And you know why?" "Because the chairman is on my side." "This is just between you and me, but the chairman already knows everything about Minjae." "Is that really so?" "Seems like you really don't know the chairman, after all." "What really matters for my father Kim Taejin is not the truth." "Whatever the truth might be, it wouldn't really be his top priority." "So be careful." "Minjae is the chairman's grandson." "So that's why I'm telling you to be careful." "You can't abandon your own flesh and blood, but how about a daughter in-law?" "Because when push comes to shove, you're nothing but strangers." "You want me to sacrifice for my nephew's sake?" "!" "For the time being, it would be better not to go home." "Looks like the chairman learned of your real mother." "I don't really care." "Your father will be put in an awkward position because of you." "Uncle..." "From now on, I'll provide for myself." "That's not as easy as you think." "Whatever happens just happens." " One more, please." " Yes." " Me, too." " Yes." "Want to know more about me?" "That damn discrimination..." "We're all sons of his, and yet I'm the only one who's treated as illegitimate." "Same goes for Mijin." "At least you don't have brothers, so your father won't abandon you." "But the rest of the family will treat you differently from now on." "You must hang in there and endure it, Minjae." "I feel so bad for my mother." "Who?" "Your late mother?" "I'm the only one she can count on..." "Yoon Nayoung?" "You don't need to worry about her." "Are we dealing with a pushover?" "Without me around," "Mom will..." "She'll be abandoned by Dad." "Just like your real mother." "I guess." "Let's just drink." "The more I think about it, the worse I feel." "I just wished that ajumma wasn't my mother." "Because that'd only make Mom suffer even more." "What is it?" "If you want to go to Yale or Harvard, you need to frequent this school." "Only if you graduate from Yale or Harvard will Grandpa..." "Mom." "Can't I come live with you in Seoul?" "I'll live with you there, and study as hard as you want." "I'll take violin lessons, and piano as well." "Why are you doing this to me?" "Listen well, Minjae." "The world is a cruel place." "Only the strong can gain what they want." "I just want to live with you and Dad." "Keep it up and I'll get angry!" "It's my wish, Minjae." "I want to give you the entire world." "A world with no tears or sadness." "Don't cry..." "I'm sorry, Mom." "For not fulfilling your wishes." "Don't worry." "Whatever might happen, I'll lead the group my way." "Here's the preliminary list of executives who will be cut." "Check it one last time." "Understood." "I will proceed with this even without my father's consent." "I told him already anyway, so no need to provoke him any longer." "I'll leave all the rest to you." "Don't worry about the chairman." "My brother is the issue." "You mean Youngjun?" "He's been left with slim pickings, what's there to worry about?" "I suggest you wrap up things with him sooner than later." "I'll have to." "Young Master." "That'll be enough for today." "The last time the chairman collapsed, he changed his testament." "He wrote the name of Atlantic Group's heir firsthand." "Who is it?" "That's all you need to know, Young Master." "Who is it?" "Is it my brother?" "I can't tell you now." "I apologize, Young Master." "Why are you so late?" "I found where Minjae is." "He'll be back in a few days." "Where is he?" "That little fool is ruining my life!" "Minjae." "What is it, Uncle?" "Take it, it's your mother." "She said it's urgent, come on." " Hello?" " Minjae?" "It's me." "Listen well." "Your father is coming there." "When you meet him, just say you're sorry." "Whatever he says, beg for forgiveness." "If you do, he will." "Are we clear, Minjae?" "Minjae..." "Did you get what I said?" "Don't talk back, and just beg for forgiveness." "Why aren't you answering me?" "I'm coming, just a moment." "Where's Minjae?" "Just a moment." "Get dressed and come out." "Hyungnim." "You stay out of this." "What gives you the right to get involved?" "You really think I don't get what you're scheming?" " Hyungnim, I just..." " Hyungnim?" "!" "I've never been your brother." "Know your place, you bastard!" "Can't you just hit me and get it over with?" "You're not scaring me." "Didn't my husband come here?" "And Minjae?" "Where did he take Minjae?" "Look at me in the eyes." "I said look at me!" "You really think I wanted to go study in the States?" "I only went there to run away from my brothers, because I wasn't confident I could beat them." "Life is like a jungle." "Unless you find the way out on your own, you'll find yourself trapped in the woods, where beasts will devour you." "Never grovel like your father did." "Don't run away, Minjae." "Whomever your real mother was, and no matter how much you pity her, that has nothing to do with you." "It's not the reality you're living right now." "It's nothing but one of the countless obstacles you'll find on your way out of this jungle." "You could at least have protected her." "Mom died a miserable death because of you!" "That woman wasn't your mother." "She merely gave birth to you!" "You know what's the difference between man and beasts?" "Beasts abandon their offspring the moment they learn how to walk, while man watches over his children until the day he dies." "That woman abandoned you the moment you were born." "She didn't abandon me, you abandoned her!" "If she protected you until the end, I would have done the same with her!" "Stop lying!" "You forced her to do so." "You forced her to abandon me and leave." "And I'm just the same." "I had a chance to save her, and yet I did nothing." "I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry, Mom..." "You're right." "I guess I'm the one who abandoned her." "Because all she was to me was an obstacle threatening my future." "She's never been the kind of woman who could become my wife." "To beat my brothers and earn my father's confidence, I kept a low profile for 20 years, while trying to tame the flames of ambition that were raging inside me." "Yes..." "Those were your true colors." "You trampled on everyone and everything to gain what you wanted!" "So I can't respect a father like you." "And neither can I understand nor love you!" "Stop trying to get in my way, Minjae." "Your growth solely depends on me." "If I gain nothing, the same goes for you." "Yes..." "I know that." "I know that you get rid of everything that gets in your way." "I know." "And I guess you'll do the same to me." "That's what scares me." "No..." "What I hate." "And that's why I can't forgive you." "I'm not looking for forgiveness here, I'm showing you how to get out of that jungle!" "Mark my words." "Leave me again, and I'll never take you back." "Make your choice, Minjae." "Either live as my son, or run back inside that jungle." "I'll give you time to choose." "But my patience won't last forever." "I've already chosen!" "Don't hold your breath." "I told you I'm not scared." " What did you tell Minjae?" " What I meant!" "Is that you must let him get out of this on his own." " So Minjae is not your son?" " What are you going to do next, hit me?" "Dad disappoints me." " Did Yoon Nayoung love Minjae that much?" " He means to me more than my own life." " She's not even budging now." " I can do everything for him." "Even dying!" "Follow me!" "I'll show you what kind of woman you really are." "Look inside that mirror and see who Yoon Nayoung really is!" "You're nothing but a beast!" "Say it!"
