Birth of a Beauty Episode 20
Ahjumma!
I'm glad I found you.
You were looking for me all this time?
Where were you?
I went to the restaurant.
It was closed.
You had nowhere to go, right?
I was going to...
...start looking.
I knew it.
Follow me.
What are you doing? Follow me.
Check places Sara might go.
I checked most places.
Come in.
I sent employees to Sara's house.
But Sara wasn't there...
...only reporters are.
The focal directors are requesting an interview with you.
They want an explanation for the scandal.
Tell them we're handling Sara's scandal.
Yes, sir.
The shareholder meeting is next week.
Nothing more can happen.
I'll figure out a plausible story for Sara.
Make sure it's not magnified.
Alright.
Everything's the same.
Except that you're not here...
Everything's the same.
Your room is the same, too.
Stay comfortably until this is resolved.
I won't bother or disturb you.
Yes, Mother.
I brought Sara to my house.
I'll discuss the future with her.
Yes.
I'll call again.
Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
I thought you might have left.
I just wanted to check.
Come down slowly. I'll prepare food.
That Sara is unbelievable.
She had a past like that?
The problem is the shareholder meeting.
This incident...
caused a big negative impact on your image.
Sara...
suspects I'm the one behind Han Tae Hee's assault.
But only...
you and I...
along with Director Kim know.
The press conference...
was in case I would hurt Han Tae Hee.
If Han Tae Hee...
starts to suspect us, it'll get complicated.
If he becomes suspicious of the explosion twenty years ago,
we won't be able to stop it.
Okay.
Here, here.
Here.
Eat.
I acknowledge you're a good chef.
But mine probably tastes better.
Really?
Since ahjummas cook all the time,
they say other people's cooking always tastes good.
How did you know about how ahjummas feel?
Getting to know the third gender, ahjummas.
Why do ahjummas live?
I read all the books about ahjummas.
I wanted to understand...
why you broke up with me.
It's Han Min Hyuk.
He must have come because I disappeared after the press conference.
I'll go.
You can't. It may be dangerous.
Wait, I'll go out.
Sara's here with you, right?
Didn't you learn etiquette growing up?
Why do you come over so early in the morning?
She's not here.
Really?
You wouldn't give Sara up so easily.
Sara hurt Winner Group's image badly.
Tell her to hurry back...
and follow orders to take care of it.
It shouldn't have gone this far.
Those words are what...
I want to say to you.
So in your opinion,
Han Min Hyuk gave orders to attack me?
I'm sure though there's no evidence.
Han Min Hyuk didn't deny it either.
The reason you held a press conference...
was because of Han Min Hyuk?
Because he might hurt me?
I'm right, aren't I?
Ahjumma...
...let's do this.
Let's join forces to round up all those who hurt us.
Go back to the 100% success rate of the genius and ahjumma.
To catch Lee Kang Joon and Han Min Hyuk.
I'll track down the truth.
After identifying who attacked me,
I'll uncover Lee Kang Joon and Han Min Hyuk's crimes.
While you track down the truth,
I'll reveal the truth.
My in-laws, Gyo Chae Yun, Lee Kang Joon...
and everything between us...
I'll reveal it all.
Isn't that Sara?
She wasn't hiding?
She looks like nothing's wrong.
Sara's here?
Yes, earlier...
Sara came? To the station?
Yes.
Hello.
I heard you came by asking me to fulfill the contract.
To hide after doing that...
As you want,
I'll fulfill the contract.
Great.
I created the perfect story for you.
Do another press conference.
The goal is to minimize damage to me.
I'll...
only fulfill my contract.
I won't do anything for your sake.
At the directors meeting, you said I was Winner Group's model
and Winner Food's chef, right?
I'll help Han Tae Hee as a chef.
It's for Winner Group's sake in the end.
I'll do my best for Winner Group's image.
Oh, and...
it'd be best not to send bad men after me or Han Tae Hee.
If one of us gets hurt,
you'll become the suspect.
You'll know...
the reason if you look on the company bulletin board.
How can you come here?
The reporters...
The media is looking for you.
I said I would give a written interview soon.
I earned a few days time.
Written interview?
To say what?
I'll tell a story people are curious about.
Of course...
you'd hate that story.
And I...
went back to Han Tae Hee's house.
Starting now, we're...
going to catch those who tormented us.
[Winner Group Directors Meeting Announcement]
Rice balls of love...
Was Director Han lying about creating them?
Han Tae Hee and Sara made them, but he took credit.
That's why Director Han became a candidate for Winner Group CEO.
Sara, the chef of "Rice balls of love" who got
pre-orders of $1.2 million was not
working on Director Han's orders.
Sara voluntarily created them.
Winner Food...
regretfully informs Director Han who falsely claimed
in the director's meeting that he created
the rice balls that
this situation will be strongly
...dealt with.
Winner Food CEO...
...Han Tae Hee.
It's my judgment that revealing the truth is safest.
If something happens to me or Sara,
you'll be the main suspect.
Oh, yeah.
Sara has employees with her.
I'll protect her myself from now on.
So you'd better stop plotting.
Will the shareholder meeting result change?
Who knows the future?
I'm just doing my best.
What happened, Doctor?
I met Han Min Hyuk...
and I got a good shot in.
What about you?
I made a declaration of war that I would help Winner Food.
This is...
natural seasoning I want Winner Food to release.
And with this seasoning...
I made dumplings.
Taste it.
Let me see.
How does it taste?
It's the best.
Really?
Thank goodness.
This...
is spicy chicken soup.
Taste this, too.
Wow.
It's the best.
Why are you staring?
I said taste. Not look at my face.
After being discharged from the hospital,
it's been awhile seeing you close up...
...like this.
The hospital?
You nursed me.
We were together 24/7.
Hospital!
The man who attacked you...
I remember!
Who was it?
When you were in the hospital,
some man came by.
There should be CCTV footage. Check it, Doctor.
There's a resolution to oppose you at the shareholder meeting.
The emails are being spread among the shareholders.
After Han Tae Hee's announcement of blame,
[Resolution]
the shareholders are turning against you.
If we don't get involved in time,
it'll get even worse.
I think...
it's time for me to get involved.
If Han Tae Hee disappears,
the shareholders...
can't be forceful anymore.
Hello, PD Kim.
It's Sara.
I want to meet and talk.
I'll go see you.
If you...
help maintain my dignity...
I won't resort to the worst.
Leave Tae Hee and stand by me.
I'll take care of Lee Kang Joon.
It's my final offer.
Think it through and answer me by tomorrow.
No.
No need to wait until tomorrow.
I refuse.
Don't go down the wrong road.
I learned this lesson through Sa Geum Ran's mistake in marriage.
I'll be going.
Is it that hard to help...
maintain my dignity?
Is it?
What are you doing?
How dare you touch her!
Director.
I told you.
I'll protect Sara now.
If you come near her,
I'll appear.
Got it?
Let go!
Ow, my fist.
Ahjumma, it...
hurts so much.
My fist hurts so much. What do I do?
Hold on. I'll bring the medicine.
Jeez.
What are you doing, ahjumma? I'm in pain.
Okay, I'm coming.
It looks swollen.
Yeah.
This side hurts, too. Blow on it. Here.
- Here? - Yeah, it hurts here.
- There. Behind that. - Over here?
Now it...
...feels better.
Does Han Min Hyuk have an iron face?
My fist really hurts.
I saw my...
broken picture.
You had a hard time...
after I left, huh?
And you?
It must have been harder for you.
How did you stay in this house?
We have so many memories here.
But because I stayed...
you have a place to stay.
Just stay here until this gets resolved.
I feel rest assured when you're with me.
If you want to leave after it's over,
I'll respect your decision.
Ahjumma.
It's all in the past.
Don't fret.
Goodnight, ahjumma.
Min Hyuk.
Mother.
You said to get involved at the right time?
I think the time has come.
Han Tae Hee and Sara...
I don't want to see them anymore.
We're having a Birth of a Chef special on our talk show.
It's tomorrow.
By chance,
can I be on it?
You're totally welcome.
If we get an interview with you, it'll be the highlight.
I'd be the one grateful.
But...
I have a condition.
Until the broadcast day,
I don't want Gyo Chae Yun to know.
How can you eat at a time like this?
These are diet supplements.
I have to watch my figure when times are bad.
Mom.
What did Kang Joon say?
Yeah. Okay, I'll prepare.
Mom...
wants us to go meet Geum Ran.
Sara.
Here it is.
The show features two chefs from Birth of a Chef and will talk about their dishes
or their life stories.
If you look the cue sheet, you'll see the flow.
- Thank you. - Sure. See you later.
[Interview Time with Gyo Chae Yun]
Geum Ran?
Well...
We're here, but where should we meet?
Here it is.
Let's go here, unni.
This is closest to the station.
Really?
Then I'll call Geum Ran
that we'll be there.
I'll order then.
Tell Pig Sister-in-law not to eat.
I ordered in advance.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Sit.
You got so pretty, Geum Ran.
You were always pretty as Geum Ran though.
I really thought so.
Of course.
Well...
When you got married,
I didn't give you gifts.
So...
I wanted to make it up.
This is...
our apology.
Sister-in-law...
I'm sorry.
I saw your press conference.
I reflected a lot.
I cried and regretted.
If the fact...
that you were kicked out is revealed...
we won't be able to live in this country.
For old times sake,
forgive us once, Geum Ran.
What do you want from me?
Don't tell anyone...
what Kang Joon did to you.
I'm not even married yet.
My marriage future will be ruined.
Kang Joon has to make a living in the future.
And...
your father-in-law...
is the head of his charity group.
Geum Ran, I'm sorry.
Please forgive us.
It's my fault for raising my son wrong.
When I weighed more than 200 lbs,
you made fun of me saying I was like Godzilla.
You called me Pig Sister-in-law to my face.
You said I was embarrassing to be seen with
because I was fat and disgraceful.
You wanted an announcer daughter-in-law.
Why ask forgiveness?
Sa Geum Ran is still just...
a fat pig sister-in-law to you.
You're not asking forgiveness because you're sorry.
You're just afraid for your future.
Taking responsibility for your actions is
one of the lessons I learned after becoming Sara.
If everything is revealed,
you just have to
take responsibility for your own part in it.
Good-bye.
Mother and sister-in-laws.
Oh...
I'm sorry, Geum Ran.
I'm sorry. Please forgive us, okay?
Yeah.
Save us, okay?
Geum Ran.
- Where are you going? - Geum Ran.
- Sister-in-law.
What to do?
Hand over the building?
Give it back to Sa Geum Ran.
There's nothing else to negotiate with.
Why should I?
It wasn't yours anyway.
That...
is my alimony for suffering because of you two.
If Sa Geum Ran reveals the murder,
I'll be arrested.
And your celebrity career is over.
Then get rid of Sa Geum Ran again.
For good.
Sa Geum Ran is one thing.
But if I had to kill someone,
know that you're included in that list.
Got it?
We can arrest Lee Kang Joon?
If he gets caught,
he won't be released like last time.
If you get this man, you can also get Lee Kang Joon and Han Min Hyuk.
Please help.
If you hang your wish and light the tree,
your wish will come true.
All my wishes will come true like this.
I wish you smile everyday.
I hope you don't have nightmares anymore.
Ahjumma's good health.
I wish we're together next Christmas also.
I hope you find your real dream and realize it, ahjumma.
Ahjumma!
Ahjumma.
Right, it's this feeling.
When I come home from work,
you're waiting for me.
Ahjumma.
I have a gift.
A gift?
Ta-da!
Doctor...
why did you buy kimbop, spicy rice cake and blood sausage?
Because you like it.
Tomorrow's the important talk show,
you should eat what you like.
But why do you like kimbop, spicy rice cake and blood sausage?
My...
most confident time in life was when...
I was in high school.
I was always strong.
I had confidence in judo.
Even though they teased me saying I was King Kong or a pig,
I didn't let it get me down.
Because I did judo.
The food I liked then was kimbop, spicy rice cake and blood sausage.
When I need fighting spirit, I eat them.
If you need fighting spirit,
you don't need those foods anymore.
Why not?
You're already strong.
The former ahjumma, Sa Geum Ran,
was weak and dependent.
But you're a different person now.
You're independent and proactive.
Your ability to overcome adversity surprised me.
I felt it again at your press conference.
Now you're...
a strong person.
But...
what's the secret
to that strength?
Why?
No secret?
I have a secret.
But I'll tell you later.
For now,
I'll focus on the talk show and this tasty food.
Maybe because you bought it, it tastes delicious.
Really?
Eat blood sausage, too.
Eat the fish cake.
Why is Sara...
on the list of guests?
Isn't it great?
Sara called us first.
Focus your questions on Sara today, okay?
Did you see Sara?
No.
[Sara]
The phone is turned off and you will be connected to the voicemail.
[Lee Kang Joon]
What?
It's big trouble.
Sara's on the live talk show today.
I told you we had to do something.
The license plate isn't clear.
Get the plate number.
I have to watch over Sara.
Yes, CEO.
[Tae Hee oppa]
Tae Hee oppa, it's me.
Stop Sara.
Sara will tell the truth.
Oppa.
Chae Yun.
Take responsibility if you should.
When everything is in the right place,
I'll help you as your brother.
[Interview Time with Gyo Chae Yun]
Stop this now.
You wanted me on the talk show.
Do you want the building?
Fine.
I'll give it back.
No need for that.
I'll get it back on my own.
Hello.
Hi, Sara.
Nice to meet you.
This is the live show, Interview Time with Gyo Chae Yun.
On today's show, we have Birth of Chef participants
Sara and Oh Kyung Hee.
We'll talk about life and food with these two guests.
Hello.
Hello, I'm Sara.
Ahjumma.
Be strong.
Yes.
We've talked about
Oh Kyung Hee's dishes for her family.
It's Sara's turn now.
The subject of Sara's dish is...
food for guests.
Shall we...
...begin?
More than that,
how about satisfying viewer curiosity about Sara?
The unfinished story at the press conference...
Will you tell us more?
First of all,
I want to apologize again.
Forgive me for my...
...false appearance.
I think it's hard for Sara to talk about...
...personal matters.
Why not talk about food first?
No.
I'm okay.
I have to talk about it sometime.
If it's okay, we'll ask some questions.
Sara, what's your real name?
My name is...
...Sa Geum Ran.
Six months ago,
I was a weight loss participant on a program
...called Change.
So you always wanted to have plastic surgery?
I think I was mistaken.
I thought...
I had to become beautiful
to receive love.
But in order to receive love,
I didn't need to become beautiful.
I needed...
to love myself first.
I learned that later.
If you all know of another
Sa Geum Ran around you,
please love her.
Because she shouldn't think stupidly like me.
And...
by living stupidly...
shouldn't be murdered like me.
- What is she saying? - Murder?
Murder?
Did you just say "murdered," Sara?
Sara.
Saying something like that suddenly on a live show
makes me feel apprehensive.
Does my story make you uncomfortable...
...Gyo Chae Yun?
No, why would I?
That's impossible.
But murder? What do you mean?
Who murdered you?
My husband.
My husband...
had a mistress.
The two had an affair.
My husband stole my property.
[Change of ownership]
I lived with my in-laws for eight years
and supported my husband studying abroad.
What I got in return was divorce.
My husband and his mistress...
...were vicious.
When I refused divorce,
my husband staged a car accident
and tried to murder me.
Sara.
It's troublesome to make unconfirmed statements.
While I was dying at the accident scene,
the mistress was there, too.
That woman...
witnessed my husband murdering me, but didn't stop it.
She watched as I drowned in the sea.
Who is that woman?
That woman...
is in this studio.
Oh, my goodness!
- Where? - How scary!
It's...
...Gyo Chae Yun.
Then...
Sa Geum Ran's husband...
is HBS CEO...
Lee Kang Joon?
Yes.
Goodness. How could he kill his wife?
That murderous bastard.
What the heck does he look like?
Goodness.
- Look him up. - Okay.
How could he?
How can this be?
I know.
The world is so scary.
I know what you mean.
Detective Oh, it's Han Tae Hee.
About Lee Kang Joon...
It's being shown on HBS right now.
Check it.
What?
Sara is Geum Ran?
I hear Geum Ran is on TV.
Turn it on.
What?
Geum Ran is on TV?
[HBS Announcer Gyo Chae Yun, murder accomplice?]
Chae Yun is a murder accomplice?
Sara's real name is Sa Geum Ran?
And this woman?
Tae Hee asked me not to leave a record.
I performed liposuction on her.
Announcer Gyo Chae Yun is two-faced.
She was an adulterer?
How dare she play the victim when she broke up a marriage?
I feel really sorry for Sa Geum Ran, right?
Is it all there?
Hello, PD Kim.
Hello.
Where is Sara? She's not answering her phone.
She didn't come to the dressing room.
Is she in the studio?
Okay.
Then break up with my husband.
End it with him.
Do you think you two...
look right together?
Don't you ever look...
...in the mirror?
It went well.
I saw it all.
I was waiting outside.
You don't have to.
Follow me.
Three days left until the shareholder meeting.
Han Tae Hee...
Eliminate him.
Here's Han Tae Hee's schedule.
Don't make any mistakes.
[CEO Han Tae Hee's weekly schedule]
The situation is different now.
You may be suspected.
How far...
...will you go?
Until I get Winner Group.
I have someone to take the blame.
Lee Kang Joon.
He has more than enough reason to kill Han Tae Hee.
I'll take care of it.
For now,
you start it.
Joon Chul.
Think of it as helping me.
I beg you, Joon Chul.
You said that back then.
It's always been this way.
Chemical factory accident...
I bloodied my hands for you.
But what did I get?
When Min Hyuk becomes CEO,
he won't ignore you.
I'll...
take responsibility for you.
I beg you, Joon Chul.
It's been so long.
How do you feel seeing the ocean?
I feel like my heart is open wide.
That's why I brought you.
Here.
White roses.
It means respect.
Respect?
Watching you,
I put myself in your shoes a lot.
You always...
exceeded expectations.
I respect you for always rising to...
...challenges.
You asked me what...
my secret for overcoming adversity was, right?
Are you...
...still curious?
The secret...
...is you.
Your compliments and encouragement...
...changed me.
You always complimented me on little things.
You encouraged me even when I couldn't.
You were surprised...
at obvious things.
Sa Geum Ran...
needed healing.
She had so many wounds.
You healed me...
with your compliments.
I guess...
that's why it wasn't...
weird calling you doctor...
even though you aren't.
I respect you for always rising to...
...challenges.
Ahjumma!
Come down if you changed.
Okay!
So...
with the plate number of the man who came to the hospital,
you'll get his address and phone number?
Yeah.
You're so cool, Doctor.
It's...
what I do everyday.
This is what I did when I sent out the mass email about Lee Kang Joon.
I didn't see you do it back then.
I looked cooler back then.
I struggled so much because of you.
My face looks bad.
My pores are enlarged.
Let me see.
Whether it's the same or worse?
You know the before and after.
Look.
Doctor...
I think your lashes got longer.
They look dewy.
Then...
I'm more handsome than before?
Then...
let me see you.
Wow...
Your eyes look different.
A person's eyes reflect their struggle.
You can't make that with plastic surgery.
In the end,
you and I...
broke up and met again...
and we got more handsome and beautiful?
After struggling a lot, we became...
handsome and beautiful.
You've really gotten prettier.
You, too.
Here's the address.
City of Seoul...
Gangseogu Hwagokdong...
...Number 47.
I'm Detective Oh from Seongbuk Police Station.
Where's Lee Kang Joon?
He's not here right now.
He left home long ago, but...
what's this about?
Over Sa Geum Ran's attempted murder.
Lee Kang Joon!
They lost Lee Kang Joon?
He found out the police were after him and ran.
CEO, he's here.
That man went inside his house.
You're coming, too?
This is the real deal.
I'm the only one who knows his face.
I must go.
It'll be dangerous.
What will I use my strength for?
It'll go to waste.
We...
have to go together always.
Always together?
Yes.
Am I wrong?
I welcome it.
Great, ahjumma.
Let's go.
Okay.
That guy is here?
It's been two hours since he entered.
Good work.
Go rest.
We'll watch now.
Okay, CEO.
Are you the owner of car number 6172?
I hit your car accidentally.
What do I do?
Can you come out?
He's the guy.
Han Tae Hee.
I worried you'd pretend not to recognize me.
You said my name thankfully.
No need to ask if you attacked me.
I won't be a victim twice.
Who ordered you to kill me?
Lee Kang Joon or Han Min Hyuk?
Who ordered Han Tae Hee's assault?
No matter how much I search his call records,
I can't find Lee Kang Joon or Han Min Hyuk's names.
Is there a middleman?
Let's dig a trap.
Make the person who ordered the attack call himself.
How?
Let me see.
There is...
someone who...
knows I was...
the one who...
attacked...
...Han Tae Hee.
If you...
send out a group text...
The real suspect...
will...
...reply.
Doctor, you're a real genius.
This kind of thing is just a...
light idea I play around with.
I'll eliminate Han Tae Hee the day before the shareholder meeting.
[There is someone who knows I was the one who attacked Han Tae Hee.]
What is it?
Someone knows I ordered...
Han Tae Hee's attack.
[Recording]
What happened?
Who found out I ordered the attack?
Why aren't you answering?
[Director - Please confirm saved recording.]
It's gotten twisted.
What's wrong, Doctor?
I've heard...
that voice before.
[Lee Kang Joon]
How could I become a fugitive?
Turn yourself in.
Sara's my legal wife.
No matter how much you want her,
you can't get married.
I'll give Sara freedom.
Let's negotiate.
Was it Lee Kang Joon?
This is good, Doctor.
Let's get Lee Kang Joon as well.
It'll be more satisfying to get him myself instead of the police.
Will...
you be okay?
Of course.
I'm...
not alone anymore.
We have nothing to fear on heaven and earth together.
Of course.
As long as we're together,
we have nothing to fear.
We met and changed so much.
Ahjumma became a strong person.
I don't...
fear my past any longer.
We were weak alone.
But we're fearless together.
This is...
...the power of love.
[Birth of a Beauty]
I'm glad a hundred times over that I'm marrying you.
You want Han Tae Hee?
I'll call him out to a secret location.
But do me a favor.
I plan to smuggle away.
I'm going to ask him to save me. Tae Hee can't refuse me.
By chance, do you recognize this watch?
This watch belongs to Winner Group employees.
Who's the owner of this watch?
There will be an explosion in Winner Food's inventory warehouse.
Han Tae Hee is the target.
I need a forged passport.
Come to Winner Food's inventory warehouse by 11am tomorrow.
