It's true that I liked Ms. Oh.
- I know. - But I could hold...
my feelings back...
for you.
You shouldn't have been suspicious.
You should've still trusted me through everything,
not because my feelings didn't matter,
but because you're my brother, because we're family.
We're still family.
I no longer have a brother.
- Hwan. - I haven't had one for a long time,
but I finally realized it.
Hwan.
(Episode 15)
Isn't this place a bit too small?
I'm glad I didn't get that plant. It would've gotten in the way.
Use that to buy whatever you need.
Thank you.
You have two choices.
You can divorce Jin...
and let the brothers reconcile.
Or...
you can stay with Jin and send Hwan away.
I chose to go with the latter.
I'm already done talking to him.
Without you,
Jin won't be able to hold out.
My deal with Carrie didn't mean anything.
I wasn't cutting you off.
I came up with that strategy to get my hands on her shares.
It sounded like a lame excuse, so I chose not to tell you.
I apologize.
If it hadn't been for you,
I would've given up on Jin long ago.
The U.S. is awfully huge.
And it cost me a fortune to search through a foreign country.
I wanted to give up many times in the process.
But...
I saw you waiting and waiting for him,
and you gave me the strength to go on and be tenacious.
This is the first time...
you complimented me in any way.
I just never said it out loud.
I looked to you as I held out.
I don't know...
what I would've done without you.
Let's not throw away all those years in vain.
Jin needs you.
What about Hwan?
He might be the one...
who's the most troubled right now.
What do you think we should do?
Please tell me.
I've raised Jin myself,
but I stopped looking after Hwan when he was a kid,
so I have no idea what to do.
At this point,
it seems like you know him better than I do.
After all, I was a mother too.
I'm starting to regret the things I've done for my children as I age.
I lived my life in vain.
You should let him know...
how you feel.
I had resented my mom for so long.
But that resentment was my yearning for her.
The world called her a sinner,
but I couldn't accept that.
However, what I saw was different.
I had tormented myself...
and even caused a scene in front of her.
But in the end, I finally realized...
her true self.
Her sincerity.
May I ask...
why she did it?
It was because of me.
She did it to save me.
You have an amazing mother.
She's different from me.
May I ask you...
why you didn't get a divorce?
I'm not sure.
I had moved out and had gotten my own freedom,
but I still didn't want that.
Maybe you still wanted to be tied to him.
Perhaps,
you wanted to come back.
Is it true that Hwan's love...
is unreciprocated?
No matter how much pain Jin has caused you,
you do know that you shouldn't go to Hwan, right?
I do.
It should never happen.
That's good.
Ms. Jung, I'm here to give you an injection.
Those are amiable toward the company.
The red ones are considering it. The blue ones are neutral.
How many of the neutral ones do you think we can persuade?
- Carrie Jung has disappeared. - What do you mean?
She left the hospital without notifying anyone.
Report it to the police and send some men to find her.
- We must find her. - Yes, sir.
Were you working around here?
I came to pick you up.
Soon, I won't be coming here anymore.
Once the project is complete,
we're going to hand it over to another company.
After that, I'm flying out.
If this is because of Mother, you don't need to do that.
You don't have to leave when I'm leaving as well.
This has nothing to do with you.
I have my own life to live.
Good work.
I would've dissuaded you if you were leaving because of me.
But if it's for your own good,
I won't stop you.
I'd like to have a meal with you...
at a nice place.
Come to think of it,
I haven't treated you once after making my own money.
We've always eaten together at home.
Not like that.
I want us to go to a luxurious restaurant...
in nice attire.
I want that.
I want to have...
a meal with you.
Okay.
Let's do that.
It's nothing hard.
Why would I refuse when you're buying?
I'm going to have a course meal.
You can order the most expensive dishes.
Right. Can we stop by somewhere...
before going home?
(Lounge)
I won't ever forget this place.
Our house.
The workshop.
This neighborhood.
Jeju Island.
Jin was in all those places.
But here...
It's just us two.
But you were in pain.
It's okay.
Even the painful memories...
are precious.
After some time...
When we can finally look back and reminisce...
Will the day come...
when we will all be okay?
Before I returned back to Korea...
When you had ignored all my texts, calls, and mails...
during those three years,
did you ever think of me?
Of course.
We didn't part ways happily.
Perhaps, that could've been why I had thought of you more.
I told myself not to call you.
I forced myself not to.
But doing that made me think of you even more.
That's what happened.
What about my letter?
Did you read it?
No.
Did you throw it away...
without reading it even once?
I'm sorry.
Once I go back to the U.S...
Once we part ways,
there will be no reason for us to stay in touch, will there?
I haven't thought that far.
But...
if I were to stay in touch with you...
but not with Jin,
it would be strange.
(Lounge)
(Jinhwan A and C)
Carrie Jung is still missing,
but we've received something under her name,
saying that she's going to withdraw the delegation.
This was exactly why I put such a high penalty fee.
Chairman Bang will probably pay for it.
Why did you have to make a deal with her and complicate everything?
Don't you know who's responsible for all of this?
Had you not been involved with her...
I told you not to accept any investment from others.
It was your greed that caused this.
You're going to blame it all on me?
You two need to work together.
Arguing won't solve anything.
I don't know what Carrie's trying to do.
If Chairman Bang has taken her against her will,
I could negotiate with him.
What if she disappeared on her own?
Then she's spitting in our faces.
If we let go of her shares,
how much do we have in total?
You shouldn't give up just yet.
If we persuade the neutral parties,
we can gain more shares.
Then things will get easier.
First, the artists shouldn't already have their own workspace.
Years of experience, portfolio,
reason for applying, and business plan.
Evaluate them on each category and sum it all up.
It's a reasonable evaluation.
Of course. The government is involved in this.
Did you hear her?
At times, you seem so naive.
She does seem young at times.
Right?
How dare you guys...
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E29 'When I was the Most Beautiful' "The Fight for Jinhwan A & C" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
What is this?
I've switched hospitals.
I'd appreciate it if you could send my orders to this place.
It'll make me feel better at this empty place.
I heard...
that she had disappeared from the hospital.
Just ignore her.
I can call the police...
if you're here against your will.
Why did you contact me?
No matter how much your family despises me,
the shares I have are Jinhwan's last hope.
So? What can you do now?
Your deal with my mother-in-law is no longer valid,
and I hope you won't make useless threats against me.
Because I don't care about the company.
I don't want to go to prison.
I had nursed him for seven years...
and even got stabbed.
Personally,
I believe I got what I deserve.
You were thrown away.
They...
abandoned you.
You're in danger right now,
and you're aware of it.
If being used and getting discarded go hand in hand,
I'd let the man I love abandon me last.
For who's benefit?
What you did for him in the U.S. wasn't out of love.
You deceived him because of your guilt.
Don't you know by now...
that living with a patient...
makes both of you go crazy?
Still, it was better than when I had thought he was dead.
That is,
up until I had found out that you two had deceived me.
You claimed that it was love...
but ended up only taking care of yourself.
If you want forgiveness for what you've done,
you should sacrifice yourself as well.
Jin...
will never forgive me.
But he could still acknowledge the fact...
that you had...
the slightest bit of sincerity left in you.
I talked with Attorney Ryu.
She wants to stay here.
She asked if we could send someone on the day of the general meeting.
We can't trust her.
Your company should prepare for the worst.
I don't trust her either.
I just provoked the pride left in her.
I'm also curious...
about what's left in her.
If it was anyone else,
they wouldn't have waited like a fool for seven years.
They would've broken down after finding out...
about their husband's affair.
You're ignoring your pain,
yet you're giving Jin time.
Don't do that.
You see,
I had been used to those who were hostile toward me.
I tried to be kind,
but I didn't even know when people were hurting me.
That was normal for me.
The people who helped change that mindset...
were Jin...
and you.
Don't leave because you got hurt.
Stay here and fight.
But you're going to leave.
Your brother and I are in a relationship.
Once we break up, we can't stay by each other's side.
But you're his family.
This is the best wine we have.
I thought I should open it when we're all together.
You two can drink together and talk.
Stay with us.
You should join us.
If it's just us two, I think we'd get in a fight.
But as you can see, I'm at a disadvantage.
What made you like her?
I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm just...
curious.
I want to understand.
Go upstairs if you don't want to talk.
She was the first person...
to repay me...
for my kindness.
Even when...
I had brought kimchi all the way to Seoul for Mom,
she only complained.
Dad...
was only worried about you.
And you were never interested in me.
Ms. Oh...
thanked me...
and gave me flowers.
She said it was the first time someone had ever shown her kindness.
It was a good thing.
But she was sad, not happy.
And...
I could understand her.
I know the loneliness...
one feels...
when one always gives but never receives.
She didn't buy those flowers.
She went to a field...
and picked up yellow wildflowers one by one.
Then she gave them to me with both hands.
I had never seen anyone who looked so grateful...
because of me.
When I told her I was studying architecture,
she took photos of nice buildings.
She even made drawings...
and created a scrapbook.
While searching for you, I had to check dead bodies.
She knew how hard that job was...
even though I hadn't told her so.
She just knew after reading my reports.
She cried for me.
She knew I was struggling and in pain.
She understood my feelings...
before anyone else could.
I didn't know that understanding each other...
could make me feel...
so whole.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for ignoring your feelings.
That I thoughtless stole...
your first love just because you were young.
I made the decision.
The man I loved was...
Seo Jin.
What if...
Hwan hadn't been that young?
What if we weren't brothers?
Who would you have chosen?
If I never came back,
what would've happened...
between you two?
I'm saying that's how I felt. That's all.
Stop insulting her.
Is this a new way of torturing me?
Hwan has nothing to do with my decision to divorce you.
Is there truly no way...
for everyone to be happy without anybody...
having to leave?
It's too late.
The man I loved was Seo Jin.
One year.
Can you give me...
a year of time?
I'm not asking you to stay for good.
It's because I'm left with too many regrets.
I haven't done anything for you.
We only dated for a short while,
and we also had a short honeymoon.
We barely have any memories from the time we spent together.
It's all right.
There were things...
I wanted to do with you and for you,
but I never got to do anything.
If I let you go like this,
I'll regret that so much.
Please...
give me a chance.
A chance for me to do something for you.
You've already...
given me a lot.
The way my heart raced madly.
The passionate night we spent together.
Sorrowful longing.
Despair like death.
You gave me...
all those things.
You've already...
given me a lot of things.
(Jinhwan A and C)
- Hello. - Hello.
This way, please.
(CEO Kim Yeon Ja)
Let's go.
Yes, ma'am.
(Bang Young Geun, Carrie Jung)
(CEO Seo Jin)
Three pills a day. That's the limit.
It'll take a toll on your heart if you take more. You know, right?
To this day, Jinhwan has displayed...
the consequences of a corporation run by a family.
And at the moment, the CEO of this company is...
the previous CEO's son, who doesn't have any career,
even though he's unable to look his employees in the eyes.
My physical disability...
does not cause any problem in managing this company.
That's an excuse from a CEO who doesn't deserve his position.
But 52.3 percent of our shareholders came to a different decision.
(Jinhwan A and C)
What is this mess?
Does he have all those shares?
No, really?
- When did he get so much? - Who knows?
- Does this mean it's over? - I can't believe this.
- What's he doing? - What's going on?
- He just stood up. - What is he doing?
- He can stand up? - He just did.
No way.
You must have made a mistake in your calculation.
Chairman Bang, right now,
you have 52.3 percent of the shares, correct?
It's true that I've been disabled due to an unfortunate accident.
And the company funds my mother used...
to find her son who went missing was the initial problem.
However,
why didn't you let someone at Jinhwan know where I was...
when you knew where I had been all this time?
- What? - He knew where he was?
It's hard for me to say something about your trouble with a woman.
And that woman was...
working for you.
What is he talking about?
As you just heard, Goryeo Oil worked as a group to keep me hidden.
They left our family to live in pain...
to take...
Jinhwan A and C over.
(Jinhwan A and C Extraordinary General Meeting)
- Is he serious? - Goryeo Oil did that?
- What has he done? - Then what can we do?
I'm late.
I wanted to exercise my voting right in person.
(Jinhwan A and C Extraordinary General Meeting)
- What's she doing here? - She's here.
What is she going to do?
What will happen to the percentage?
- Why is she sitting there? - Is she going to take his side?
If we add 3.4 percent of shares which Carrie Jung holds,
the percentage on our side...
becomes a total of 51.1 percent.
- A total of 51.1 percent? - Goodness, really?
- She's taking his side? - Then his shares will be...
You've made things very fun for this old man. I'll give you that.
Just find an attorney.
Mr. Bang Young Geun.
You're under arrest for manipulating the stock price,
a violation of the Capital Market Act.
I believe Director Jung is responsible for this matter.
You have the right to remain silent...
and consult an attorney.
Everything you say can be and will be used against you in trial.
You may also request a review of the legality of your arrest.
Carrie will be punished too.
But she should only be punished for the things she has done.
My goodness.
Wait.
You can walk now?
I still can't stand for too long.
And it's taxing to walk far.
I tried to get you rehabilitated for seven years, but I couldn't.
But she can...
raise you up at once...
even though she said she's leaving you.
I could stand up again today...
thanks to those seven years I spent.
Thanks...
for saying that.
I mean it.
You should thank your wife.
I would've taken Chairman Bang's side if it hadn't been for her.
That was my only escape.
Thank you...
for what you did today.
I'll try everything I can to defend myself.
That I did everything because I loved you too much.
I'll assert my case in court.
Great work. Sounds like everyone did well.
Let's do that. We'll throw a party to celebrate.
Did it go well?
Jin came up with a great strategy. And Ye Ji helped out too.
You also spent your entire fortune.
I couldn't send your mom to prison.
Hwan.
What can I do?
Can you turn back the time?
No matter how much pain I was in, I still should've been a parent...
instead of depending on you.
I finally realized how foolish I am and that I had been an awful father.
I'm sorry, my son.
I won't sacrifice anymore.
The youngest kid of this family who tried hard for everyone...
isn't here anymore.
I made all these for you.
How can I eat anything with these?
These are too precious.
I made matching tableware.
Even if we eat alone in different places,
we'll always use the same dishes.
You can think of me as you eat alone.
"Ye Ji must be eating in these dishes too."
Are you getting ready to live alone?
Yes.
Things are...
different from back in my days, so divorce isn't considered a flaw.
You're pretty and talented. You won't have any problems.
Mom, you're very chill.
I still live on with a criminal record.
Who cares that you got divorced?
(Ye Ji's Workshop)
Go inside.
(CEO Seo Jin)
Come in.
You have a guest.
I don't have any appointments.
She's Ye Ji's mother.
Please escort her inside.
(Jinhwan A and C)
It has been a while.
Is everything all right?
I heard you and Ye Ji are splitting up.
It's not what I wanted.
I never had the chance to be at my daughter's wedding.
I wondered how beautiful she would've been...
and if she got anyone to be there as her family.
She was...
the most beautiful bride in this world.
I thought...
Ye Ji would live without any trouble...
if I disappeared from her life.
There were so many things I wanted to do with her.
I also had many things I wanted to do for her.
Like other mothers-in-law,
when my daughter brought home the man she wanted to marry,
I wanted to hold onto his hands...
and ask him to treat my daughter well.
When you two visit me, I may not be able to give you a feast,
but I still wanted to make a dish you like,
then pack some kimchi as you two head back home.
I figured she'll be fine if I held back my desires and hopes...
and lived quietly, off the grid.
I was devastated...
after what happened to you.
But your brother,
Hwan, kept me reassured,
so I trusted you once again.
She stayed with her in-law's family during the period you were gone.
She said she didn't want to leave...
because her parents-in-law are great and your family is warm-hearted.
People say one's family says a lot about a man,
so I figured she couldn't forget about how her husband loved her.
My heart broke, but I still let her be.
If my daughter was from a respected family...
that had a lot of money like your family,
would you have treated her the same?
Ma'am, that's not fair.
Would you have treated her this horribly...
if her mother was in the picture?
I was very rude to you...
because...
back then, I thought...
cutting ties with her family would be better for Ye Ji.
I'm sorry.
I was...
never happy that Ye Ji married a son from a rich family.
I've witnessed it myself how those rich and entitled people...
looked down on others and knew no one but themselves.
I can put up with the way...
you treated me.
I'm not here to criticize you for it.
But you shouldn't have broken my girl's heart.
(Jinhwan A and C)
I want to curse you, so you would be punished.
But it seems you have already been punished.
So I'll stop here.
I will...
live the rest of my life with regrets.
I've made a mistake,
but I wanted a chance.
I didn't want to let Ye Ji go.
I trust her.
I trust her that she made the right decision.
Did you decide to live with your mother?
She said no.
Even when I'm getting divorced,
she's worried about my future.
Thanks to your help, I was able to...
keep my company.
But on the other hand, I was tempted to throw everything away.
I thought perhaps if I lost everything,
you might give in and stay with me.
Is pity what you want...
from me?
Is it really...
because of Carrie?
Are you asking me if this has to do with Hwan?
I looked down on him because he was young,
but he became a man now.
I swore that I would protect you.
But now, I always have to look up to see you.
When I didn't want to hurt you,
I would have come up with any excuses.
But I won't do that now.
It's pointless.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E30 'When I was the Most Beautiful' "Carrie Gets Arrested" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
You're home.
I made a reservation.
The dinner we talked about.
I see. The dinner?
If it's uncomfortable for you, I'll get Jin's permission.
No.
There's no need.
I think we deserve...
to have a meal together.
I'm going to wear a suit.
I'm missing you even when I'm watching you
I'm new to this, but won't you set me free?
Nice.
Are you making mudstones?
My mom told me to deliver the wood ashes.
Ever since Ye Ji started to commute to Seoul,
I have more work to do.
- Should I mix it? - Stop.
Mr. Seo has to mix them.
I see.
Gosh, a fool can be so brave.
A fool? Are you calling me dumb?
I know more stuff about ceramics than you.
Right. You should at least be good at menial jobs.
Gosh.
- What? - I won't be...
a potter just because I'm working here.
Not everyone can be an artist.
Exactly.
This has no future unless I become a potter later.
I started working here because I couldn't get a job...
and Hwan asked me to keep an eye on the workshop.
You're finally thinking about your future.
A man can only get married when his job is stable.
Don't tell me you're dating someone.
I'll tell you if it gets a bit more serious.
You'd better not be...
dating Lee Chan Hee.
Hey, don't call her like that.
She's older than you. You punk.
What are you doing?
Hey.
Hey. Hey!
Goodness.
Seo Han.
This way.
Is this what men do in the States?
This is just what I do.
This feels a bit awkward.
We were always with our family at home.
And your friends were always with us when we were out.
Sitting at a restaurant like this with just you feels...
a bit strange.
This is probably...
the first time having a meal together with just the two of us...
after the Jeju Island trip.
When you divorce Jin,
you said you won't see me either.
I want a memory I can at least look back on.
Let's eat.
What's good here?
Let's get the Chef's Special. That's the best.
You must've been to places like this a lot on your dates.
This is the first time.
Then, how do you know the menu so well?
You can look this up on social media.
I'll choose a bottle of pinot noir.
How did you know that I like...
pinot?
I just do.
I know you prefer light wine to heavy wine.
Thank you...
for dressing up.
You told me you were wearing a suit. It was obvious.
I didn't want to look young today.
You told me that I'd always be your teenage student.
Hwan.
You are...
a man.
You are as attractive as any other man.
And I am very envious...
of your future wife.
You won't know...
how painful it is...
for me to leave you and your father...
in my life.
But I'll live a good life.
I can live a good life.
You cherished me so much.
Your father was so good to me.
It will be enough for the rest of my life.
Now,
I'm going to remember all the love I received...
and live my life with gratitude.
I'm not sure if you remember this,
but after making up my mind that I should let you marry Jin,
I wanted to ask you this one question,
so I went to you.
Can't it be me?
You can't wait for me, can you?
Hwan.
I know.
But I wanted to ask you one last time.
Let me ask you this...
one last time.
Instead of regretting my whole life,
I would like to at least ask you this.
- Don't. - Can't it still...
be me?
I can leave my family.
I can live my life...
with just you.
Stop.
Please stop talking now.
Can it never...
work out with me?
It's the first time in my life...
anyone has protected me.
Take this.
Was it a fun dinner?
I thought we deserved to share a meal.
I have to...
say goodbye to Hwan too.
Even if it's over between us,
you can't go to him.
I trust you,
but I don't trust him.
He's very angry at our family right now too.
Don't keep him even as a friend.
Don't lead him on.
If you want to divorce me...
because you want to rely on him,
you should reconsider.
Even if we're getting a divorce,
some things can never happen.
Suspicion only causes people to rebel.
If you trust people, they put up with it no matter how painful it is.
You shouldn't be trying to control me right now.
You must give me infinite trust.
Everyone in our family...
knows how he feels about you.
People in our town found out about his feelings a long time ago.
If you leave like this,
the whole world will know.
Despite that, trust me.
Even if the world suspects them and everyone badmouths them,
as long as they have their family's trust,
no one will get their hearts broken.
Even if something goes wrong, it gets fixed.
Even if bad thoughts crowd their minds,
in the end, they come back.
I'm not interested in...
Hwan's feelings.
I'm interested in yours.
I want to know how you feel.
Are you really leaving me because you can't forgive me?
Did Hwan influence your decision even in the slightest?
Will you...
really never see him again?
Hwan...
loves you.
I love him too.
Can love only exist between a man and a woman?
Is it only love when you want to touch and be with that person?
You keep bringing up love.
But what is love?
Hwan...
has only wished for my happiness...
since the day we met and every moment...
we were together up until now.
Even though he liked me,
he stepped back for his brother because you were older.
He was sad to see me...
getting dispirited in a house without my husband.
And when you came back, he tried to fight back...
his feelings and did everything he could for you.
And...
I love Hwan for that.
You abandoned me and betrayed me because you were in pain.
Hwan's love for me was as valid as your love for me.
I didn't break down because I had Hwan.
And he's the reason why I could stand back up.
He doesn't just love me.
He loves you, he loves Father,
and he loves everyone in this family.
I'm not the one you should hold onto.
It's the little kid whose hand you let go of.
It's your brother.
I don't want to admit,
but I'm sure...
you'll easily forget about me, the one who hurt you.
But...
you'll never forget Hwan.
Can you...
live without him?
Is that...
possible?
Going to work?
You should eat before you go.
Did you love me?
Do you...
love me?
(When I Was The Most Beautiful)
Hwan.
I gave this a thought.
Leaving this place with you.
I love you.
We aren't allowed...
to confess our love...
or have one kiss,
but I still love you.
All I need...
is you, Oh Ye Ji.
