Hello.
I'm Lee Hye-jin.
I'm a member of Ilsin too.
I was invited here today.
What an odd way to welcome a member.
Was this it? Are you really…
Did you become a member because of my son and me?
Your son?
Of course not.
This welfare foundation was the first to take me and my Ha-joon in,
so I've only been repaying the kindness.
Why did you come to our house?
To get back what's mine.
You protect your child, and I'll protect mine.
Don't you know that I actually tried to protect your child?
Hi-soo, let's leave for now.
You and I will talk later.
Tell Doctor Hwang to come to Rubato in an hour.
If you report this to the police,
it'll be published in the newspaper.
What if…
it triggers a tax investigation against your family?
What if the police get a search warrant and rummage through the chairman's safe?
Gosh, be careful.
What's in there?
Sir! No!
No! Sir!
Sir! Get out of there!
I have loved
Someone I shouldn't have loved
Because loving her
Is an act of sin
Must my heart
Which can't profess my love
Cry again
Tonight
I must forget
The one I can't forget
EPISODE 7 LOVE IS JUST A DREAM
Must my heart cry again
Without a sound
Tonight
Think only about Ha-joon and yourself.
I'll do what you want to do instead.
No.
This is my problem.
I should deal with it.
You're in no position to confront anyone. You're pregnant.
I'll meet with her first.
You need to be smart about what to protect
and what to let go.
You must stay strong.
-Hello? -Don't you think we should talk?
I'm actually on my way to your place right now.
No. There's something I need to confirm first.
I'll contact you later. And I'll choose the place.
Don't you dare set foot in my house without my permission.
Ms. Jung.
You know why I'm here, right?
The real Kang Ja-kyeong who worked here for five years.
Where is she right now?
Yes, Mr. Choi.
I'll summon Iyeon's head maid and the real Kang Ja-kyeong
as witnesses in fabricating documents and committing fraud.
Wait. Drive slowly.
SUZY
Goodness gracious.
These must've belonged to Mr. Han Ji-yong's birth mother.
Let's keep this place secret from everyone else.
Of course, sir.
Ms. Yang is calling for me.
Give me back
My youth
Ma'am, use less of your throat
-and more of your chest. -Give me back
-My youth -My youth
-I beg for it -I beg for it
-As time goes by -As time goes by
-I have so much love -I have so much love
She must've been so lonely.
-To give -To give
-I cannot -I cannot
-Stop time -Hold onto time
-From flowing -From flowing
All right.
Give me back
Ma'am, Ms. Kang Ja-kyeong is here.
I visited Canada often
because the kids were there.
That's where I met Hye-jin.
She was a kind girl.
She let me stay at her second house in Montreal for free…
for an entire year.
That's when I got to know…
about her past.
She only wanted help getting her son back.
I wanted to help.
She just wanted
to switch identities for a year.
You should leave.
Yes?
Ms. Kang is here, ma'am.
She came to see you.
But Mr. Han Ji-yong ordered us not to let her into the house.
What should I do?
Let her in.
Have her wait in the reception room.
Hello,
my name is Kang Ja-kyeong.
-Please take good care of my son. -I'll do my best.
Don't worry too much. We have Ms. Kang now.
She seems sincere towards Ha-joon.
This is unbelievable. Are you saying
that I deceived you and brought her here?
HYOWON ELECTRONICS
HA-JOON'S TUTOR
Hello?
It's all over.
Your wife knows who I am now.
Ms. Kang is waiting in the reception room.
You're home early.
You may go.
Yes, ma'am.
Have Ms. Kang come to my study in 15 minutes.
Don't let anyone in.
Yes, ma'am. Understood.
Are you going to record us talking
and send it to Han Ji-yong as well?
If that's your plan,
feel free to pop in.
Ms. Jung, is something going on lately?
You look sullen.
About Mother Emma…
Book me an appointment with her.
I'll receive counseling.
Leave me out when you talk with her.
Then why would you introduce her to me?
Focus on your business, not on personal matters.
Don't disclose personal issues to others.
But she's a nun, so it'll be safe to talk with her.
Hey, Ms. Jung.
Do you want in on two shocking secrets that I've discovered?
I don't know how shocking they are,
but some secrets shouldn't be let out.
Keep them to yourself.
But they're truly mind-boggling.
What do you want?
Ha-joon.
I want to take him back.
As you can see, I'm alive and well.
I left my 18-month-old baby here.
I thought it would be better
for him to be raised like a prince in Hyowon than by a poor single mother.
Then why the change of heart? Nothing has changed.
Because I was wrong back then…
and what I think now is right.
I'm here to right the wrong.
I want my son back.
You know that's impossible.
I'll make it possible.
That won't happen.
What gives you the right?
Then what gives you the right to say such a thing?
I carried him for 10 months and raised him for 18 months.
And you talk about my right?
That's just absurd.
Will you make it a legal matter?
I know I'm David against Goliath,
but I have no choice.
I should've done this six years ago.
We have proof and witnesses to prove that you've committed identity theft.
This is enough to ostracize you from society.
You're still willing to do this?
You're…
a criminal.
Can't you take my side?
You could help me. After all, I'm Ha-joon's birth mother.
I helped your husband become the head of Hyowon Group.
Is that the deal…
you made with Han Ji-yong and my mother-in-law?
I have no intention of helping you.
I wasn't involved in the deal.
Should I let the entire world know…
what the Hyowon family did to me?
Be my guest.
I'm going to let the world know
about how you came here and deceived us.
Both you and Ji-yong.
But he belongs to the Hyowon family.
Shouldn't you protect him?
Everyone must take responsibility for their actions, whoever they may be.
After all, you two completely fooled Hi-soo and me.
You shouldn't treat me this way.
Even I don't know…
what I'm capable of doing.
I'm not here as Kang Ja-kyeong or Lee Hye-jin.
I'm here as Ha-joon's mother.
Hi-soo is pregnant.
Do you not want to play fair?
Do you really want to distress a pregnant woman?
That's exactly why I'm taking Ha-joon.
She has her own kid now.
We should take care of our own children.
Besides, I'm still his tutor since my contract hasn't ended.
It's time for him to come home from school,
so I'll go over to him now.
Didn't I tell you
that you can't stay in this house without my permission?
Hello?
Didn't I tell you not to let the tutor into the house?
Who?
Seo-hyun?
I heard you weren't feeling well, so I came home early.
Soo-young and I are your emergency contacts.
Didn't you say Ha-joon's real mom was dead?
You looked me dead in the eye and said so.
So how is she alive and staying here at our house? As Ha-joon's tutor at that?
I didn't want to shock you.
I thought she was dead.
What do you mean?
I was studying abroad back then.
I found out through my mother
that I had a son
and that his mom had died.
I don't know what to make of this. I'm going nuts.
She gave birth to Ha-joon!
How could you not recognize her?
It was a fling I had while horseback riding.
I was young and dumb.
When she first came here,
I really didn't recognize her. It's the truth.
Do you hear yourself?
She was a woman you used to love.
No, I didn't.
This is embarrassing to admit, but it was a short fling.
I looked into her because you were suspicious of her.
And that's when I found out who she actually was.
I'm shocked, but I can't imagine what you're going through.
That's why I wanted to let her go.
Because I have to protect you.
You separated Ha-joon from his mother and faked her death.
I had no idea.
It wasn't my doing.
That woman…
is Ha-joon's birth mother.
Hi-soo. You're his mother.
We need to be selfish in order to protect our son.
She wants revenge.
You mustn't believe anything she says. Get a hold of yourself!
Give me some time alone.
I need to clear my head.
Get out.
What brings you here?
-Is that enough? -Of course not.
But I've made a promise to Hi-soo.
You two shouldn't have done this to someone carrying a baby.
It's my baby.
What's it to you?
Ji-yong.
Keep this up, and I'll kill you myself.
And I'm going to keep her right by my side.
The fake Kang Ja-kyeong.
I'm the one who let her in here,
so I should own up to my own mistake.
I will protect Hyowon.
Mother.
Eat even if you're not hungry,
and laugh even if nothing's funny.
I can't bring myself to tell my mom about this.
She'll be shocked.
Mother.
Can you be my mom just for today?
Of course. That's why I'm here.
What should I do?
The people here terrify me.
They make my skin crawl.
I don't know what's true or not anymore.
I don't know anything.
I want to get to the bottom of this,
but I'm afraid to do so.
I'm scared I might want to run away.
And if I leave this family,
this baby will have no father,
and Ha-joon…
will have no mother.
Actually, that's not true.
He has his birth mother.
What should I do?
Hi-soo.
A child can grow up just as well under one parent.
Everyone is equal before the Lord, but not in this family.
This is their own kingdom.
Under this roof, that baby isn't really yours.
No. It is mine.
Lee Hye-jin had her baby taken away and was kicked out.
I'm not telling you to give up. I'm telling you to be strong.
You're a mother,
so you ought to be.
The Lord has granted women the power to protect their children.
Mother.
I'm going to raise Ha-joon too.
I can, right?
He's…
my son.
Are you going to record us talking and send it to Han Ji-yong as well?
We should stop seeing each other.
S.H. MUSEUM
I did it because I needed money.
You're more foolish than I thought.
How do you think I found out?
I guess Ji-yong used you for his own benefit and discarded you.
You should've made a wiser decision.
Ma'am.
Use me.
I'll be your loyal dog
when you need me most.
Use me then.
I'll do…
whatever you want.
Your scalp is very tense, ma'am.
Goodness.
That's because I'm always stressed out.
I bet there's no one more stressed than I am.
Of course, there's no one
since they all must be dead from all that stress.
Oh, my.
Hey, I didn't know you had a knack for giving foot massages.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I should've used you.
What do you keep your skills and strength hidden for?
God, that feels good.
You now have no choice but to do as I say.
You know what happens if you don't, right?
Don't just massage my big toe.
Massage all of them. Don't play favorites.
Don't.
That's it.
That's ticklish!
Damn it.
God, he's so annoying.
Get me a cup of iced coffee.
I might as well have dinner here too.
Ms. Joo.
Answer me.
Ms. Joo, open the door!
I need to use the bathroom!
Open up!
Open the door!
Open!
Open up! I need to go!
I might pee my pants.
I'm going to do it. You'll have to clean it up.
Okay?
Why are you so taken aback?
It's just that I don't quite understand why you've made that decision.
Stagnant water is bound to rot.
Consider this a transfer of personnel.
Send Kyeong-hye, Seong-tae, and Yu-yeon to Rubato.
And bring all the Rubato maids
and Ms. Kang to our house.
Seong-tae and Kyeong-hye shouldn't work together.
Never mind, ma'am. Understood.
Okay. I understand.
Explain.
Or you can listen to me first then speak your mind.
As Ha-joon's mother,
I'm going to do everything that I have to do.
What would make him happier?
What will hurt him less?
These are what I'll consider whenever I make a decision.
Thank you…
for caring about my son.
Why do you always thank me…
for caring about my own son?
-I gave birth to him. -I raised him.
Is it revenge that you want?
You want to be compensated
for having both your son and your youth snatched away from you.
Go ahead. I won't stop you.
He was sick.
So I had no choice.
I thought this family…
would take good care of him.
That's why I gave him up.
But he was always on my mind, day and night.
It felt like…
my heart was torn and my nails were pulled out.
My heart bled.
So what you want is…
Ha-joon?
Why him?
You should take revenge!
Thank you for raising him all this time.
Let me do it from now on.
-I'm his mother. -No.
He's going to get hurt. Let's not do that.
Why do you think he'll get hurt?
He'll finally be reunited with his real mother.
I'm sure Ha-joon remembers me.
I can feel it.
If…
If you truly care about him, just leave.
They even fabricate DNA.
Don't you know them? They even faked your death!
That's why I have nothing to fear.
I fear only one thing in this world.
Not being able to see Ha-joon.
Just…
have Ji-yong instead.
Hey, she's calling all of us.
She's always like this.
From today on, Ju-yeon and Sang-a
will work here at Cadenza.
And Yu-yeon, you'll move to Rubato.
Seong-tae and Kyeong-hye as well.
-Me too? -Yes.
Why is she suddenly being transferred?
Well…
-Ms. Jung said-- -No.
Yu-yeon will stay here.
No, ma'am.
I'll follow Ms. Jung's orders.
You can't be like that in front of the maids.
Learn to hide your true feelings if you want to succeed.
I have feelings for her.
You can't get tangled up with her.
-It's too late. -You'll be miserable.
It's my life. And I don't care.
I've never been happy in my life anyway,
so I can't get any more miserable.
You don't know what true misery is like.
Don't try so hard to be my mom.
I don't need your advice.
I can already see so clearly how miserable she will be.
I won't let her end up like my mom.
I'm confident about that. I'm not my dad.
Do you truly think so? You'll be put in the same situation.
Sure, she won't end up like your mom. She'll be more miserable.
At least your mom didn't love your dad.
You should stop now, Soo-hyuk.
I'm saying this not for your sake,
but for hers.
You shouldn't make the girl you like…
go through such misery.
Why does she want to transfer them?
I believe her biggest reason is to separate Yu-yeon
from the young master.
If that's not the case,
could there be some other reason?
Maybe?
What's with your eyes?
By the way,
shouldn't we throw a party for Hi-soo since she got pregnant?
I don't think she's been feeling too happy lately.
-Did she find out about something? -Of course not.
They should have many children.
That's what all the wealth is for.
If my husband weren't bedridden like that, he would've been delighted.
You know, he cherished Hi-soo.
Kim Mi-ja, that bitch.
Ma'am, please let me excuse myself.
No.
Hurry, go up.
-Sir, help me. -Close that up well.
Let's do it together. Gosh.
That little…
-Come down once you've unpacked. -Yes, sir.
Where's your mouth?
Mouth.
And your ears? Where are they?
Ears. That's right.
Which one is "banana"?
BANANA
You did well. You're all done now.
Did it hurt a lot?
Are you okay?
The tooth fairy won't give you a new one if you keep crying.
Stop crying now.
-Ma'am. -Oh, my God!
-You startled me. -Why are you so startled?
Why is that thing here?
What thing?
Oh, you mean Ms. Kang?
I told you earlier that she'd be coming here to Cadenza.
Damn it.
Where's Jin-ho? I must speak with him.
-Where is he? -He went to see a nun.
A nun?
He's seeing a nun these days?
Yes.
My name is Han Jin-ho.
I finished my military service in the army
despite having US citizenship.
But I have no plans to get into politics.
My blood type is AB.
You don't have to formally introduce yourself.
Make yourself at home.
Just think of me as a comfortable sofa.
Are you telling me to sit on you?
No. What I mean is…
We tend to relax comfortably on a sofa.
Do that with me.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry.
Your position at Hyowon Group
must feel burdensome and tough.
Not at all. I feel completely fine.
How so? Your position demands a lot of responsibilities.
Sister.
If I strive so hard in life,
I'll only fall sick like my father.
I don't want that.
You're doing well. Keep contradicting what I say.
My dad's always favored Ji-yong over me.
And today, I finally found out why.
He…
genuinely loved Kim Mi-ja,
Ji-yong's birth mother.
And Ji-yong truly takes after him.
He's living with two women.
But at least my father hid everything in the basement.
How could Ji-yong be so shameless?
Talk about yourself, not others.
I'm…
lonely.
I wish there was someone who could understand me.
Just one person.
Why did you get married to Jin-ho?
I didn't care whom I married.
It didn't matter.
Is it because you desire to rule Hyowon?
I am fully aware of your complete trust…
in Ji-yong.
Ji-yong will never
be my heir.
Be patient.
I don't know why you married my son,
but staying married will be better than getting divorced.
Another board meeting will be held on the third of next month.
Will you continue supporting your brother?
I'm a father of two now.
I should start taking what's mine.
Let's have an emergency board meeting.
The third of next month?
That's too far away.
Ha-joon.
That's your sibling.
Is it a girl or a boy?
I'm not sure.
I'm curious too.
I hope it's a girl.
If it is, she'll be as pretty as your mom.
Ha-joon, this is your mom…
Ha-joon, this is your tutor. I'm in Cadenza.
I miss you.
INCOMING CALL HAN JI-YONG
Hello?
Why are you still there?
Don't you think we should talk face to face?
I'll come to your office.
Ha-joon's birth mother
will come stay at our house.
Who will?
I'll make your wish come true,
so please keep it a secret.
Hi-soo can't know about this.
What the hell are you saying?
Have you gone mad?
I believe he'll grow up well if he's raised devotedly
by his real mother.
-But-- -And she misses him dearly.
As long as you keep your mouth shut,
everything will be okay.
Wait!
Would you have asked for the same favor
if I was your birth mother?
If you were my real mother,
I wouldn't have turned out this way.
-Am I a joke to you? -Of course not.
You make my skin crawl.
You frighten me.
Didn't I tell you to get out of my house?
If you want compensation, I'll give it to you.
How much this time?
I'm no longer who I used to be six years ago.
Do you think money will move me?
Yes, I do.
You gave up your son for it.
How can you say that?
After what your family did to me?
Don't bring up the past I don't remember.
That's where it all began!
Do as you please.
The little generosity left for you for being the mother of my child
will vanish into thin air.
You showed up one day and desired to see Ha-joon.
You asked me to fire his tutor
and said that you'd only stay by his side.
I guess you could say it's my fault for granting your pathetic request.
So I'm the only one guilty here?
Not you?
You're the one who offered to fire the tutor.
Stop what you're doing right now.
-No, I can't do that. Never. -You could die.
You might…
really die this time.
Then I won't go down alone.
This is my final warning.
Don't anger me anymore.
-That's Seo Hi-soo. -Is that really Seo Hi-soo?
No way. It is her.
-She's so beautiful. -She is.
Here's your fried chicken.
-Enjoy. -Here you go.
Our family is so strict, right?
Why?
We can't order in jajangmyeon or chicken.
That's true. They're my favorites.
What about braised short ribs?
That's my favorite among your dishes.
But since I can't have jajangmyeon or chicken whenever I want,
they're more tasty.
It's amazing you and I have the same taste.
You should eat too.
I'm sure the baby wants to have some.
Okay.
Isn't it good?
Ha-joon.
It's true.
I didn't carry you in my womb
like I'm carrying the baby right now.
But ever since I was in my mom's womb,
I was destined to meet you.
That's how I felt when I first saw you.
Me too.
I felt the same way when I first saw you.
I was delighted.
Do you remember when we first met?
You were only three.
Yes. I remember.
Then…
do you also remember
your real mom's face?
I remember her scent.
I didn't recognize her at first.
But…
When I fell off the horse,
I was in her arms for a while.
That's when…
I remembered her scent.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Can I please…
not hate Ms. Kang?
Please…
don't kick her out, Mom.
It must've been so hard for you.
You kept this all to yourself.
You shouldn't have done that.
We promised not to keep secrets from each other.
Why can't I go in? Why?
Why can't I?
I'm…
Ha-joon's…
I'm Ha-joon's…
Mr. Han was adamant about it,
so I had no choice, ma'am.
I told him that you'd moved her to Cadenza,
but he said he could never let her in as Ha-joon's father.
He was very worked up.
I guess you had no choice.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Thank you for your service. The HR Team will be in touch.
As of today,
you're fired.
Why is she out here?
Mr. Han forbade her from entering.
Escort her inside respectfully.
-But, ma'am. -At once.
Did you not hear me?
I'll take responsibility, so do as I say.
Han Ji-yong.
It was him.
He brought me here.
Don't lie.
He said you had deceived him.
Why would he let you into his own home?
Are you naive?
Or have you read too many scripts?
Did he say that I had plastic surgery to change my face?
Or did he say he didn't recognize me because it was a mere fling?
Ma'am.
Ms. Seo.
You've been…
completely fooled.
You're just trying to mess me up.
You're the one who let me in today.
And he tried to stop me from setting foot in here.
He was probably afraid that I'd tell you this.
Shut up. I don't believe a single word you say.
Ms. Yang is aware as well.
She knows about me. Everything.
Ji-yong and I have been seeing each other for 2 years since 2019.
You can imagine how passionate an old flame could be, can't you?
At first, I even thought of stealing him from you.
I thought he loved me.
I should've learned from my past experience,
but I was foolish.
When he found out that you were pregnant,
he abandoned me.
-Isn't that funny? -Enough!
That man…
is much more dangerous than you think.
Don't you ever trust him.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Should I call a doctor?
I'll bring you some warm water.
Try to calm down.
Would you like to have dinner?
No, I'm not hungry.
Tell Jin-ho to come to my mom's room.
Yes, ma'am.
Director Jung Hyeon-taek told me this.
They're holding an emergency board meeting.
Why? We had a meeting three days ago.
Rumor has it that the directorate will support Ji-yong for the chairman position.
They're turning their backs on Dad.
You saw it at the meeting. Besides, our stocks plummeted.
After Ji-yong took over the bakery, the sales skyrocketed.
So have the semiconductor stocks.
That's my point. He's in charge of the semiconductor.
They think he has outstanding management skills.
And your dirty private life is all over the tabloids.
What are you talking about?
Ji-yong is dirtier than me.
He's living with two women.
Don't worry.
Ji-yong will
tell them that he has no desire to become the chairman.
He already promised me that he'd support Jin-ho.
What are you talking about, Mom?
This is the big picture he had in mind.
He appointed you as the temporary head and sat back and watched.
He wants everyone to know how incompetent you are
so that you'll never set foot again.
Don't you know how merciless he is?
He sat back and watched? What do you mean?
My God.
He told the directorate that he was interested in the position
and that he'd follow their decision.
Making it sound like he isn't that ambitious.
He's going to "follow" their decision. God, that despicable bastard.
That's not right. Ji-yong can't do that to me.
He can't do that to me. He should keep his promise!
Ji-yong, let's meet up. We need to talk.
Let's meet at our hotel's wine bar. I'm going now.
Han Jin-ho…
I wanted to come sooner, but I didn't.
I had to protect my baby.
But I don't have a choice anymore.
So please.
Tell me the truth.
How could you fool me…
when you knew everything?
Tell me everything you know.
It wasn't my idea…
to fake her death.
It was Ji-yong's.
He wanted to do that.
He didn't want his son
to have a confusing childhood like his.
He said faking her death would be better for Ha-joon.
He was seeing you at that time
and wanted you to think that she was dead as well.
He was the one who faked her death,
not me.
He asked me to keep it from you.
He offered a deal.
He promised to let Jin-ho become the chairman
in exchange for keeping that woman's identity a secret.
She gave birth to Ha-joon! How could you not recognize her?
It was a fling I had while horseback riding.
I was young and dumb.
When she first came here,
I really didn't recognize her. It's the truth.
You've been completely fooled.
Don't worry. You're in my arms.
Hi-soo. You're his mother.
She wants revenge.
It wasn't my doing. I found out through my mother.
He…
asked me to keep it from you.
No…
Ma'am, Ms. Seo is…
Please come here right now!
Ji-yong cannot find out that you were the one who told Hi-soo the truth.
But he's bound to find out.
If you were worried about that, how could you tell her that?
And she's with child!
The board will meet tomorrow.
Watch Ji-yong's every move and report back to me.
I'll get engaged. Let's have the ceremony before I change my mind.
Wait until Hi-soo makes her decision. Don't even think about doing anything.
If you keep provoking me, I don't know what I'll do.
Take your best shot.
