(Episode 22)
May I...
come in?
Of course. Please.
Here you go.
It's not some luxury brand.
I realized that I hadn't given you...
anything in return.
Is it a present?
For me?
Really?
We buy undergarments for parents with our first monthly income.
It's something like that.
I bought it with the money I earned from my first contract.
Wear them even if you don't like them.
I bought good-quality ones based on Ho Rim's suggestion.
It's a passionate red color.
It's the color that represents me.
I love them.
Thank you so much, my daughter.
Goodnight.
Ji Young?
Go to sleep.
Why is it Alzheimer's of all diseases?
There's nothing I can do for him.
He's so pathetic.
I met a good, old man.
To a man who helped my beautiful mother,
I gave him my favorite...
Minion character.
Dad cooked me some tasty instant noodles.
Dad gave me a great present.
Now, I have a bicycle. He is the best.
Ho Rim.
Let's have a drink.
Sure, why not?
When we got married,
we went to where Ji Young's mom's urn was,
and offered her some wine.
I'd always wanted to meet you.
I'd never seen or heard your voice,
but you brought my wife into this world.
I wanted to thank you.
Drink.
Won't you join me?
No, thanks.
Will you not drink what your father-in-law offered?
Okay.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm really...
sorry.
Say a man committed murder and then apologized.
Have you ever seen the corpse wake up...
and say, "It's okay"?
I took Ji Young...
for granted all these years.
I couldn't see what was important.
I lived day to day without thinking.
I had no idea Ji Young was suffering.
But I...
managed to cancel my resignation.
Now, you won't have to worry, and Ji Young will...
Ji Young will live the great life she deserves.
I will be diligent and do my best.
I'll care for Ji Young, Eun Bi,
and you, Father.
I'll look after you all.
You will look after me?
Of course.
We're family now.
Family?
That's very...
nice to hear.
I will do everything from now on.
Will you please give me...
Give me...
Please give me one more chance.
You fool.
This is how you won Ji Young over, isn't it?
What are you talking about?
You sly fox, Ho Rim.
I almost fell for it myself.
I wondered how...
you managed to get out of trouble,
and this is what you did.
You have a way of softening people up.
It's not like that.
I meant everything I said.
My name means "tiger" and "forest".
I'm a tiger in a forest.
I do what I set my mind to.
You are no tiger.
You're an octopus.
Octopus tastes good.
You held out longer than I thought.
Spicy octopus.
Kang Ho Rim.
You're tough.
You're crazy.
Did you drink last night?
- Get up. Are you crazy? - That hurt.
I feel sick. Don't hit me.
You have to go to work.
Hi, good morning, my daughter!
I'd like to take my son-in-law jogging.
He had too much to drink, and he has to go to work.
I know. I was with him the whole time.
It was an endurance test of sorts, right?
Why did you give him so much when he has to work?
A sound body is a sound mind!
A healthy body needs a healthy mind.
That is the ideal.
Ho Rim, we should start working out every morning.
I have to go to...
That's why we should hurry!
What are you doing, my son-in-law?
1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.
1, 2, kick your knees up high.
Get up, my son-in-law!
Kids, my son-in-law fell over.
Would you help me...
give him some energy to keep going?
Today is a beautiful day
I just meant to keep him company,
and he fed me so much.
Now, I'm running in circles from dawn.
Were you badmouthing me?
That's impossible.
In that case, come on!
1, 2.
What are you doing, my son-in-law?
You have no strength whatsoever.
Not good!
Abdallah, stop.
If this were the Olympic Games, this would be cheating.
While Abdallah was sleeping,
I drank everything you fed me until 4am.
This competition is not fair.
You're still talking which means you have a lot of energy left.
Shall we do some sit-ups this time?
My cute son-in-law, let's go!
I feel so dizzy.
Get up.
I know you're pretending to be sick.
Get up.
- Shall I help you? - I'm sick.
Are you still down?
Get up, my son-in-law.
- Get up! - Father!
I still want to have another kid!
- Another kid! - Get up!
Hello.
Are you feeling better?
Yes.
I was quite confused.
SPA's CEO.
Why did you say he was your father?
You almost had me.
I was just as flustered as you were.
Ms. Lee and I have the same name.
Why didn't she show up at the press conference?
Why are you asking me?
Because...
Ms. Lee, hello.
I called her.
What for?
She sent the script.
We scheduled a meeting, and you weren't present.
I hope it wasn't too hot outside.
- Come to the meeting room. - Okay.
I will be involved in...
every meeting regarding your script.
Your drama will be our main project for the coming year.
I'd like to apologize for what happened last time.
I have serious stage fright.
That's why.
Ms. Lee.
You will have to go on stage often from now on.
You must get used to it.
Shall we start the meeting?
Sure.
I read your script. It's great.
What did you think, Ms. Lee?
- It was good. - Wasn't it?
But the characters are old-fashioned.
The story and material are fresh,
but the characters...
are dragging everything down.
We need a lovable lead to gain the viewers' affection.
If not, your drama will flop.
I want to make a drama that will sell.
What's wrong with you?
I'll think about it.
Call me whenever you need advice.
I have another meeting to attend. I need to go.
She's very straightforward.
I hope you understand.
I think it's also because she's jealous.
She wasn't wrong.
I'll call you when I have the new script.
Ms. Lee.
- You left this behind. - Thanks.
Cheer up, Ms. Lee. You'll be fine.
Hi.
You know,
not many people know that...
they are like a prickly cactus.
I lived just like that.
Survival was my only goal.
I ran straight ahead, not knowing I had thorns.
Naturally, I didn't know...
I pricked people, and made them bleed as I went past.
That's why...
I want to give you one last chance.
So that you can...
flower from beneath those thorns.
You also...
led and survived a very lonely life.
How did that sound?
I waited here for 15 minutes to make that great entrance.
Shall we talk?
Did you know from the start...
that I wasn't your daughter?
I am human.
No man's heart would pound with thrill...
when meeting his daughter for the first time.
Sit.
I feigned ignorance to find out...
who was controlling you,
but watching how you dealt with me was...
quite interesting and amusing.
You are Ji Young.
It is great to finally meet you.
My dear daughter.
Shall we run?
- When can I eat? - Now.
I'm happy.
Because you're here.
I'm happy too.
Because you're here.
I also...
wanted to...
gain your approval...
and protect you...
as a daughter or anything else.
That also is just a difference in method.
As you grow older,
even without climbing a mountain,
you can see the road that stretches beyond it.
That is the last gift I think I can give you...
before we part ways.
I apologize.
I put your daughter in danger again.
I didn't think they'd go that far.
I have nothing to my name now.
I'm penniless.
But...
I still do have some connections.
Contact my friend in Hollywood.
He might provide you with a great suit to fly in.
Fly high and far.
I would like to stay...
and serve you.
My memory is starting to fail me.
The next time we meet,
I might not be able to remember you.
Goodbye.
I think I'm dying.
Why didn't you take a sick day?
I can't.
Chiefs never rest.
I need to earn more.
I felt a chill to hear you say that.
- What? - Why didn't you resign?
Will your father-in-law not leave you his company?
Or is it a divorce?
Do you have to say things like that?
Chief Kang! Chief Kang!
Hey. Did you read the article?
What article?
My goodness.
Hello, sir.
You shouldn't have said that.
What are you talking about?
He's all over the news.
He lost everything.
Is that why he's here?
I knew something was off.
Where did you get the guts to ask me to buy...
a two-million-dollar house...
and foot the bills as well?
What? Do you need money to live off of?
Is that what it sounded like?
If you want to stay here with us,
I'll expect you to pay your share of the utility bills.
You yourself said...
we should be exact.
Will you stop it?
He is my father.
I put up with how you mocked and belittled me,
but you can't do the same to my dad.
What will you do about it?
How dare you talk to your mother-in-law like that?
I'll leave Ho Rim.
What?
I wanted to leave him because of how you treated me,
but I put up with everything.
Because I love him.
You're a bad influence to Eun Bi.
How did you change in such a short period?
This is the real me.
It's you who never changed.
Now, I have someone who will back me up when I'm cornered.
I hope this never happens again.
- My lady. - Wait.
I will go.
Mom, since when was she so eloquent?
Is it because she's a writer?
Don't ask me.
Was it...
that day?
The day I got you all the presents?
Does it matter when it was?
You're so quick-witted. You take after me.
You also have a sharp tongue like me.
You're good enough to be my daughter.
I heard from your doctor...
that you had been struck in the head when you were young.
That's why it led to Al...
I mean,
it could be the reason why.
Well,
I couldn't get proper treatment
Could you tell me...
what happened?
There's not much to it.
I was at the risk of death, but survived.
At that time,
hereditary trait suddenly appeared like a miracle.
That's all.
Are you married?
You told me that you're single.
Did you get divorced?
Do I have any half brothers or sisters?
No, you don't.
Besides, I'm not...
married.
Why not?
Well...
That's because...
The state of affairs in Bodoantia was overturned last night.
A political group found out the scheme of the prime minister...
who entrapped me.
He and his men were arrested.
All of this...
was my perfect and wonderful plan.
No, it wasn't.
I was in a lot of danger.
The evidence that I provided...
revealed the truth about their lies and schemes.
In other words, they dug their own graves.
They wanted to confiscate my assets...
and use them for their own good.
What I've built with years of hard work and effort...
can't be destroyed easily.
That's right.
I'm not penniless.
The King has returned my oilfield and mansion.
More importantly,
my daughter loves me even if I'm penniless.
She loves me for who I am.
That's why I made a big decision.
For an international exchange of culture...
Especially for the economic and cultural cooperation...
between Korea and Bodoantia,
I plan to donate all of my assets to the society!
My daughter will love me even more.
Right?
Are you the one who caused this mess?
I won't leave you with others to take care of you.
Don't worry about it.
Why are you so interested in me?
I've paid my debt.
When your daughter was abducted,
I heard that you met them in secret.
It's an urgent situation!
I'm asking you why. How dare you ignore me?
