Dear daughter.
Have a seat, my daughter.
Enjoy your meal.
(Episode 7)
I'm proud to see that you've done well...
for yourself.
Thank you,
but I have a lot to improve upon myself.
You're good enough the way you are now.
You aren't doing well financially, but that's not your fault.
What could you expect in Korea? I understand.
I'm not that poor.
I almost cried.
In such a tiny studio...
without even a swimming pool,
you eat and sleep every day.
You work so much...
that you can't go on a trip abroad once a week.
It's the fact that you're busy working every day.
I guess I'm considered poor.
Of course.
Please eat.
Did you like the presents I sent you?
Yes.
I was surprised, but thank you.
Except that...
I don't have enough space to park all the new cars.
I should have thought of that.
Look for a new house.
A house that has enough parking space.
Yes, sir.
We need to buy you a house.
Just for more parking space?
Yes.
Do you need anything?
I hope that you have more things...
that you need.
No, I'm fine.
To be honest, all I need is you.
All I need is you too.
You must be confused...
because such a perfect father like myself suddenly appeared.
Right.
I'm quite confused.
What happened?
It's been 35 years.
I want to know what happened.
This may be hard to believe.
It's all true...
what I'm about to tell you.
I truly believe in you.
Please show mercy and forgive me.
Make the miraculous investment come true.
Dear almighty Lee Ji Young,
I beg you to listen to my prayer.
I beg of you.
- Did you hear that? - He called her almighty.
Didn't he call her names a few days ago?
Relationships depend on money after all.
- If you grant my wish... - Chief Kang.
The branch manager is on the line.
What?
Is it already happening?
In other words,
the post office was bombed 35 years ago.
You came to find me after receiving a letter...
that arrived 35 years later?
I understand.
You probably can't believe it.
You might even resent me.
However, think about it more carefully.
If I truly ignored your existence,
denied it,
and didn't want to accept it,
why would I bother to find you after 35 years?
Why would I even be here?
Let me put it this way.
I had to find you.
I had to...
prove that I have a daughter.
If you don't keep your romise after a month,
the government will take all your properties including the mansion.
Otherwise, I couldn't find...
the reason to live.
I believe you, Dad.
I believe everything that you said.
Thank you...
for believing me.
You didn't know that I even existed for 35 years.
Right.
So...
do you think you can forget the resentment...
that you've had...
for the last 35 years?
Of course.
I've never resented you.
Never?
No.
I don't resent you.
You have never...
resented me?
She may detest you.
It'll be difficult if she has been resent you.
Money can solve that.
It may not work on Ji Young.
Certainly,
I wondered...
why I didn't have a father when everyone else did.
Resentment doesn't change anything.
Being resentful would be miserable.
Are you saying that you were in denial...
of your resentment?
To be happy?
I guess so.
Sure.
I can't say that I didn't resent him at all.
I was in denial and ignored it...
to be happy.
That's my girl.
Such a positive mind...
leads you to success.
What I did was unnecessary.
I should have met you directly.
What I did was...
completely unnecessary.
What do you mean?
I'm talking about Kang Ho Rim.
How did you...
end up marrying such a man?
Father.
Actually...
We'll create a task force team.
Do what you've been doing.
Focus on selling installment savings fund.
Even that isn't necessary...
if you don't want to do it.
You don't need to work.
However, you must report to...
Count Faad.
Do you mean...
I should pretend?
I should pretend as if I made the investment contract?
You know exactly what I mean.
Am I a puppet boss?
Why did you report it to the head office?
He made the investment through me.
- So what? - "So what"?
Okay.
Since it's yours, make the investment contract...
and report it.
Are you happy?
Well,
that's not what I meant.
Listen, Chief Kang.
This isn't only for my sake.
I'm killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
This isn't something you can do.
Chief Kang.
If you report it,
it'll look good, and your father-in-law will be proud.
It will be good for everyone.
Listen.
- Mr. Choi. - Yes, my friend.
What happens if...
he retrieves his investment?
If he retrieves his investment,
you're out.
You'll be gone forever with the money.
Do you understand?
The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.
(Kang Ho Rim)
Continue.
I don't mind if you answer.
(Kang Ho Rim)
I don't need to answer it.
Continue.
Actually...
(Did you get my last letter?)
It's a photo of you and your mother.
It's Lee Kyung Sook, the woman I love.
Lee Kyung Sook? Who is she?
This isn't my mother.
I'm not the child either.
If I had received the letter earlier,
we could have met...
when Kyung Sook was alive.
It's a pity.
When she was alive?
Does that mean she's dead now?
My mother Kim Gil Ja is still alive.
By the way...
Yes?
Did you really hear nothing about me?
- He was handsome. - I heard you're handsome.
That you're rich and tall.
I'm rich?
The letter says...
Kyung Sook told you about me...
when you were six.
You wouldn't be able to remember everything you heard back then.
You can't.
Can I see the other letters?
Of course, my daughter.
No. It's not here.
It's not here.
Where...
I'm not his daughter.
I'm not his real daughter.
What happened?
What on earth is going on?
I want to eat dumplings.
My daughter-in-law makes great dumplings.
I'm leaving.
(Vermicelli)
Chop the chives more finely.
Okay.
We have a lot of people to share with, so make a lot.
Mix that really thoroughly.
Okay.
Hye Rim, the dumplings are ready.
Eat the ones on the top.
The rest are frozen, so make it for soup.
Thanks, Ji Young.
My husband and I don't eat much kimchi.
Make us dumplings with that next time.
Right. Anger is best vented through my writing.
I can do this.
I'll overcome this.
The mistress gets a sports car,
and the real daughter makes dumplings.
(Result of Investigation)
(Father, Lee Ji Young A, Kang Ho Rim, Lee Ji Young B)
(Father, Daughter)
(Affair, Married)
Why are you at my desk?
You sat in my chair without my permission.
- What happened here? - What do you mean?
The details of the two women.
Lee Ji Young A and B got mixed up.
The mistress became the daughter.
What happened?
Sir, you shouldn't have fiddled with this.
Hey!
I didn't swap the two.
You made the mistake.
How will you sort this out now?
Come on.
I made just one mistake. I'm usually perfect.
I'm really sorry.
Will you forgive me just this once?
You embarrassed me.
You threw up...
and threw poop at my 30-year career!
What will you do now?
You made dumplings by hand in the mid-summer heat?
I applaud their appetite and your tenacity.
Why did you do as you were told?
Can't you say no every once in a while?
My sister-in-law...
wanted my dumplings so much she felt like crying.
I feel like crying because just listening to this upsets me.
Gosh, what's in this?
What's inside? Why is it so tasty?
They boss you around because you're such a good cook.
Lower their standards.
Don't always do your best.
I'm eating dumplings with Grandma.
It's tasty. You're awesome, Mom.
- Is it Eun Bi? - Yes.
How'd you know?
She's the only person who makes you smile like that.
I don't know if it's because she's mine, but she's adorable.
- Isn't she cute? - She is.
She's so sweet.
Eun Bi is sweet.
If it hadn't been for her,
Ho Rim wouldn't have...
gone against his parents' will to marry you.
Your daughter is your biggest treasure.
He's late every day now.
Lee Kyung Sook, the woman I love.
If only she were alive,
we would've meet sooner. It is such a pity.
Are father and daughter...
sleeping together because they met again?
My mom Kim Gil Ja.
She might not be my birth mother.
Yes.
It doesn't make sense that she was the one who gave birth to me.
What was that?
Do you want to become a widow?
- You're such a chicken. - I am not.
You can't scare anyone by appearing suddenly like that.
Were you very scared, honey?
What are you doing?
I thought you've been looking a bit down recently.
Did you think jumping out at me like a lunatic...
would cheer me up?
Gosh, you're really... You're so tactless.
What a disaster.
What are you doing? Hurry up.
Aren't you coming?
Okay, fine. I'm really sorry.
I was too harsh.
Sorry. Are you happy now?
Sorry for pulling a thoughtless prank.
People might think we're cheating.
Married couples don't hold hands.
Who cares?
We aren't cheating. Why should we care?
Is something wrong at work? Is it too hard for you?
You wouldn't know even if I told you.
- Ji Young. - What?
- Aren't you... - What?
Aren't you sick of...
staying at home all day?
I help Mi Ran at her medical clinic.
Not part-time work.
I mean a job.
I have a job. The balcony is my office.
- I'm a writer. - Not as a dream.
Forget dreams that might never come true.
Eun Bi's growing up.
She'll keep growing up.
You should...
give it some serious thought.
Let's go in.
What's your impression?
What do you mean?
I'm talking about your first impression...
on my daughter, Ji Young.
I thought you two looked nice together.
I thought she looked so much like you.
She looks like me?
Yes.
Am I usually...
that cold?
I think I need to visit the orphanage.
The orphanage...
in which my daughter spent her childhood.
Why do you want to go there all of a sudden?
I've become curious...
about how my daughter grew up.
My goodness. Hello!
Hello.
What are you doing?
I work here.
My friend runs this place.
I see.
Should I call this coincidence or fate?
This clinic is well-known for its treatment,
so I've been wondering if I should visit there for a checkup.
We should call this fate, I guess.
The fate between you and I.
Come visit us. I'll guarantee you a special treatment.
I'll let my friend noted on this.
Thank you in advance.
Goodbye.
Don't tell me...
you're not writing in order to work part-time.
Not at all.
I write at night in my spare time.
In your spare time?
Pardon?
Do you think that much effort will be sufficient in this world?
I mean...
So...
do you think you'll survive in this field by doing so?
No...
Maybe it was possible as an amateur.
But you've become a professional ever since you met me.
This is really not going to work out.
Then how should I...
- How much do you get paid? - Pardon?
How much do they pay for your working part-time?
Just...
As much as others get paid.
I'll pay that amount, so you focus on writing.
A writer must focus on writing instead of doing something else.
It's a damage for JJ Entertainment as well.
Thank you.
Intern?
All right. I'll trust your decision.
Is she that good of a writer?
I'll have to make her one.
(Intern Writer Contract)
(Address, Name, Contact number)
Congratulations.
I'll do my best.
Are you that happy?
Yes, I'm more than happy now.
You must know this is a shocking deal.
Signing a six-month internship contract with a writer...
We've never done this before.
- It's your first time? - Yes.
We originally don't do internships for writers.
I guess our team manager doesn't want to lose you.
She made up an internship only for you.
Anyway, congratulations.
Thank you. I'll do my best.
Why am I not his daughter?
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Goodness.
- Gosh. - Hello.
Well, is Ho Rim not here?
No, ma'am.
He's talking with the branch manager at the moment.
Ma'am?
You're acting strange today.
Just do as you usually do. Call me by my name.
Our circumstance doesn't allow me to.
What?
Hey.
- What are you doing here? - What?
- Come with me. - Well...
Goodbye. I'll see you later.
She's such a frugal woman.
She's the same even though everything has been revealed.
I didn't know...
that rich people are much more frugal...
than normal people.
I'd love to live frugally.
Where are we going?
We're running far away from the bank.
What? Why?
Because I'm ashamed.
What?
Please don't drop by my office during working hours.
Don't you understand how flustered I get whenever you do this?
I texted you that I'd visit your office.
Are you busy? I'll arrive there in 30 minutes.
I'm busy. I can't go home early today either.
Something good happened to me.
I wasn't going to tell you...
I wanted to tell you when things get much better.
But I was so happy that I wanted to see your face.
So I just...
came to ask you for a bowl of noodles.
Why am I here?
You just can't greet me warmly, can you?
Okay, I'm sorry.
What good happened to you?
I wasn't begging for your compliment. Forget it.
Oh, right. I'll tell you this one thing before I go.
I'm living fiercely out there just like you are.
I'm not just a housewife.
Don't be too late. I'll go now.
I need to put everything back to where it's supposed to be.
Before I get sued.
Answer your phone, count's daughter.
(Recent call)
Hello?
Who are you?
Let's meet, Count's Daughter.
I know you're the fake daughter.
So we should meet up.
Who are you?
Your friend.
(Beef bulgogi)
My goodness, Mr. Kang!
- Hello, sir. - Salute!
- How's your business going? - Great.
I've saved your wife's favorite part.
Is that right?
Do you want it?
Sure. I'll buy everything you've got.
Okay, it'll be 2.4kg.
- What, 2.4kg? - Why?
Never mind.
Just give me all of it.
Come in.
Okay.
What happened? Why didn't you take my calls?
How was your meeting with your father?
Did you talk about me?
- Ho Rim. - Yes?
Marry me.
What?
Let's get married.
