To be honest, I don't really care...
who my real daughter is.
I'm looking for my daughter for just one reason.
It's for my incredible amount of fortune and my reputation...
in Bodoantia.
I mean, 35 years have passed.
Family means nothing to me anyway.
Above all,
I don't want to become a father.
If a man has children,
he'll have a lower testosterone level compared to other single men.
What's testosterone?
It refers to my muscles, energy,
and my male hormones.
If it's decreased...
You'll have increased paternal love.
No, just get lost!
That woman is 35 years old. She's so old.
She chirps anywhere, anytime.
Her personality is just out of control.
Above all, she treats me so rudely.
I've never met a woman like her before.
When she glares at me...
with her round eyes that are full of defiance...
I do not want to admit it,
but she's so cute.
I guess, she is my daughter indeed.
I'm your father.
You're Manager Lee's father.
I'm not,
which is why I'm here now.
There was a little misunderstanding.
What?
I know you're very surprised, but it's true.
I am your father.
What nonsense are you saying?
- No, honey! - Why you...
(Episode 17)
Drink this.
Calm down!
Then please...
enjoy your time together.
I'll be upstairs.
- Just stay here. - Just stay here.
Do you want to die?
How can I deal with her alone?
Don't even think about running away.
Why are you here?
There's no reason for a dad to look for his daughter.
Otherwise,
you'd never visit me after 35 years.
What do you need? Do you want me to donate my liver?
Or kidney? Do you need my bone marrow?
As you can see...
As you can see, I'm very healthy.
You were Manager Lee's dad before. Why are you my dad now?
Data got switched up...
because that punk cheated on you.
You came to me saying I was your son-in-law.
You acted like one.
If you had found the right person, this tragedy wouldn't have happened.
If you hadn't acted like a married couple,
this mess would never have happened.
Do you want to say that in front of her?
- Because it's the fact! - Stop.
When did you find out that I'm your daughter?
And you. You knew all this already back at the hospital, didn't you?
I was going to tell you, but he stopped me...
He hit and threatened me, so I couldn't.
That's not even close to a threat. Is it?
It was a kind of a strategy.
Let's say it was a part of my plan...
to approach you.
All right. I heard the facts, so you may go now.
Not yet.
I still have so many things...
to talk with you as a family.
I'd like to spend my time with you...
in the historical country, Bodoantia, my daughter.
Let's call it a day and talk again next time.
Goodbye.
Well, our first encounter...
was not good... - Goodbye.
- Still, I need to... - Goodbye, sir.
Go home safely, sir.
He must've had his reasons.
Why he found you now after all this time, and what he went through...
Listen to his story later.
Aren't you leaving?
- What? - Get out.
I am...
...very confused and in a filthy mood right now.
I can't believe that he's my dad.
And just the thought of your acting like...
you were married with Manager Lee makes me furious.
So get out.
- I said, get out. - I'm on my way out.
Hi, again.
You darn bouquet.
Sir.
I'm sorry that I didn't get to introduce myself to you earlier.
I'm Ho Rim's mother.
I'm his younger sister.
It's just as I heard.
You are...
so beautiful.
Well... You're...
so warm-hearted.
While you're at it,
please go ahead and have a lot of talk with him.
Mom, I don't think that's necessary.
I'll take...
good care of him tonight.
Let's go, my son-in-law.
Goodbye.
He's such a gentleman.
He's so handsome! My goodness.
It's so hot, but why is it raining so hard?
Aladdin appeared. It's a failure.
Why this man...
(Aladdin appeared. It's a failure.)
Is something the matter?
Why do you look so upset?
It's none of your business. Stay out of it.
I'm leaving.
Hey. I was only being concerned about my employee as the employer.
Goodness.
Sure. I'll never care about you from now on.
Never!
Where should I sleep?
You can sleep here.
There are so many rooms.
- Would you like the terrace then? - What?
- Gosh, he's so upsetting. - Oh, right.
I heard you no longer get punished for adultery in Korea.
However, we charge severe punishment...
for those who commit adultery in Bodoantia.
I hope you come to Bodoantia as soon as possible.
Goodnight.
Do you think I'll ever go there?
Ji Young won't be able to sleep tonight.
Why are you here?
Otherwise,
you'd never visit me after 35 years.
- Not yet? - No.
- Not yet? - I don't think so.
Beauties sleep a lot indeed.
Why is Ho Rim a beauty?
Ji Young, not Ho Rim.
I meant the Lee Ji Young for whom I reserved a suite room yesterday.
Go wake her up.
It's always pleasant to have breakfast...
with someone beautiful.
She went back to her house already.
What?
Who is this?
Who are you?
Count Saeed Faad Ali sent us.
You returned home.
It was too kind of you.
I slept safe and sound. Don't worry.
It's always good to ensure safety.
There's no need to thank me.
Isn't it better for your daughter to move in here?
She needs security more than anyone else.
She's strong enough to beat up a burglar.
She knows how to punch.
Didn't you just say that...
it's always good to ensure safety?
There are exceptions.
Think about how we can take Ji Young as soon as possible.
All you have to do is approach her with sincerity.
Do you think that'd work when she already rejected me?
We don't have the time.
In this situation, abducting her is the answer.
Abduct her?
Yes, that's what I said.
I came back to this dirty country...
to take her to Bodoantia.
Abducting her is the least I can do.
Otherwise, my life and all my possessions...
will be taken away in an instant.
Count Faad.
Was it because of money?
Did you come find her for money?
You also have a bad habit...
of eavesdropping on others.
Do you know...
how much Ji Young waited for you?
She waited for her father every evening.
She waited for 10 years.
I think she's disappointed and deeply resents him.
I know.
Do you?
Yes, I do.
Still,
she's fortunate that a father like me came back.
How can you say that she's fortunate?
What kind of person...
do you think I am?
You're...
very successful.
Your wife lived a lonely life,
and your daughter had a hard life without you.
On top of that, she had more difficulties because of me.
Meanwhile, you only earned money.
Kang Ho Rim.
If you take Ji Young with you,
will you take care of her all your life?
I guess not.
Did you come back to abandon her again...
after giving her some money?
Then...
what else should I do now?
Tell me.
Should I bring Kyung Sook back to life,
or should I live in poverty?
I'll make her live in prosperity,
so what are you complaining about?
How about you?
Instead of being with your wife,
you pretended to be someone else's husband for money.
It's better than a father who came back for his daughter for money.
Oh la la.
I can't let you take care of Ji Young.
I can't let you take care of my daughter either.
I'll be responsible for her.
She's my daughter. I'll be responsible for her.
- Father. - What?
Neither of you deserve such responsibility.
Both of you abandoned...
your daughter and wife for money.
Both of you have done wrong.
Neither of you deserve her.
What's wrong with him?
Will you take responsibility then?
Will you?
Stay out of our business.
I'll pay for what I've done all my life.
I'll protect her...
from getting more hurt.
Gosh.
I didn't expect that of him.
- Are you okay, sir? - Why am I dizzy all of a sudden?
Where's my cane?
I don't have it.
Go and find it.
Right now.
Ji Young, come here.
Why don't you attach the stamp?
Mom.
Dad is here.
What happened to you?
You're late to work.
I heard that you were having an affair.
I have a lot to worry about.
Please be quiet.
I won the 10-dollar bet.
How could he do that when he has a daughter?
Pay up now.
What could it be?
Hello, Ji Young.
Let's meet later. I have something to tell you.
Ji Young. I mean,
Manager Lee.
Mr. Moon is in charge of the investment now.
I won't have a reason to see you...
neither personally nor for work.
I agree.
I called as Writer Lee Ji Young's producer, so don't misunderstand.
Ji Young.
You shouldn't do such dirty work. I'll do it.
- It's okay. - Give it to me.
Your pretty dress will get dirty.
What happened?
Your father took him.
It rained yesterday.
He has such broad shoulders, and he's also generous.
He seemed very rich.
What does he do?
I'm going out.
Okay, see you later.
Take your time and enjoy.
I'll prepare dinner.
You wench.
I don't want to talk to you.
I have something to tell you.
I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
I didn't do anything when he mistook someone else for his daughter.
He must be someone important.
Everyone around him is trying to take advantage of him.
I'm not trying to defend him,
but he possesses a lot of things.
That's why many try to steal from him or bring him down.
Discovering a lost family member...
means that he has something else to lose.
From Count Faad's perspective,
he has something else to protect.
I never asked him to protect me.
- You're his daughter. - It's not necessary.
Parent and child relationship is considered sacred in Korea.
It's determined by destiny.
That's why you and Count Faad met again despite the difficulty.
Listen, Abdallah.
It may be dangerous.
You should move into the penthouse.
Count Faad's enemies are on the move.
I don't even want to think about being around him.
I'd rather die.
I'll have bodyguards protect you.
- No, thank you. - Please, my lady.
I'm leaving.
Let's use this.
Hello.
Ji Young.
Who are those men?
- I have no idea. - Then who does?
It's complicated.
I don't want to explain.
Hello?
Give me back my cane.
It can't be in any other place.
I hope you didn't break it...
or threw it.
It's very precious to me.
Why did you lose it...
if it's so precious?
Don't worry. I used it to start a fire.
Why you...
I checked out your house already,
and I know you don't have a fireplace.
There's an incineration plant nearby.
Tree Lady.
I can't believe you said that thinking it's a joke.
That is just wrong!
It's not a joke.
Will you please bring me my walking cane,
dear daughter?
I will if you stop calling me your daughter.
Please bring it to me,
Tree Lady.
I hate you, you...
I hate you!
I hate...
Daughter? What was that about?
Your darling sunset is apparently my father.
You said he's Ms. Lee's dad.
Don't ask. I'll explain everything later.
I just figured out...
what to do.
Excuse me. Your iced Americano is ready.
Could you get me some paper and a pen?
- Sure, right away. - Thanks.
Kyung Sook!
What are you doing?
I wonder.
Here.
Oh, my baby.
I'm here for something else.
But first,
can you get them to go?
Sure, why not?
This is what I want.
You should try being a dad.
You said you're rich.
You didn't get to spend on me for 35 years.
You can now.
I did spend it on you.
You returned every single gift I got you.
It's not a gift if it's not welcomed.
"One, a car."
Ho Rim doesn't have one.
Do you want to buy a loser like him a car?
He's better than you.
Buy the two cars here.
Sure.
"Two."
"An apartment."
I've had enough of my mother-in-law's nagging.
I want a place of my own.
An apartment big enough for a family of three.
About 122m²?
Is that too big? 112m².
With a nice view overlooking the Han River. Okay?
You'll buy the whole complex?
- Yes. - No.
Only the available units.
At last!
You have a thing for buildings.
Bingo.
It's like a pension scheme.
I want to live off the rent other people pay.
The rent from that place should suffice.
Next.
You want to read new books, not second-hand ones?
Right?
No problem.
I couldn't afford books as a kid,
so I bought them second-hand.
That's why...
I can't get enough of the smell of new books.
Abdallah, prepare to buy out this bookstore.
Yes, sir.
Next.
"Fur coat, designer bags, shoes,"
"makeup, bedding, jewelry."
What on earth is this?
A list of dowry.
I didn't buy anything when I got married.
Press on. There's a cookbook somewhere.
(Happy Scrimper)
"Happy Scrimper"?
(I'll come home early.)
She's so detailed. Down to the last cent.
"Give me a raise."
"Honey, I love you."
"Sorry. I won't drink for a while."
Dinner's ready, Eun Bi.
Dad.
Where's dinner?
How about we order in?
- Sure. - Pizza?
She should've asked for one.
She never spends on herself.
Shall I wrap it up?
What's all this? My goodness gracious.
Are these from my new-found in-law?
It's the dowry I couldn't afford seven years ago.
So now,
you can stop being mean to me.
When was I mean to her?
Were you with your dad?
Yes.
Did you chat?
He spends fortunes.
Do you want him to buy things for you? Where's your pride?
Your mom...
crushed my pride seven years ago.
I have none left.
"I'll draw you something grand."
"You'll become the coolest gazelle in Africa."
"It's no use. I just want my mom..."
(It's no use! I just want my mom back!)
Dad.
Is Mom still angry?
It's because...
Dad wronged Mom a lot.
Did you try being nice?
Yes.
It didn't work.
What should Daddy do now?
I think you should...
just wait until Mom forgives you.
Time will sort things out.
Right. I should do that and wait.
- Shall I read the rest? - Yes.
"No, it's fine."
"I don't need anything else."
"I know my mom can never come back."
"That's why I'm sad."
"Because I can't ever forget her until I die."
"I'm sorry I made you sad."
"The lion wanted to hug the gazelle..."
"for a long time."
