A car accident brings two desperate people together- Kang Hye Soo, a widow stuck raising a daughter while trying to pay off her husband's debt and Han Ji Hoon, a restaurateur trying to ...

Ji-hun.

Wake up.

Guess what day it is today.

What is it?

It's our 100-day anniversary.

Already?

Time flies.

According to my manager,

word is getting out about us.

I don't get it.

Who could have started the rumor?



I'm sure you did.

Here.

What's this?

What is this? What could it be?

It's so pretty.

Gosh, when did you get this?

It's a farewell gift.

Ji-hun.

It was fun. I hope you meet a nice guy.

Ji-hun.

It's almost time. Step it up.

-Yes, Chef.
-Yes, Chef.

They're coming in.

Chef,



everything is ready, right?

My goodness, this looks amazing.

Take some nice pictures.

-Please go in.
-Okay.

This way.

NEW MENU PRESENTATION
TENDERLOIN, SIRLOIN STEAK

Be careful. Don't get hurt.

Eun-seong, I need to go right over there
for just a little bit.

-Wait here, okay?
-Okay.

-Stay right here, okay?
-Okay.

We are a family restaurant

-that uses organic ingredients.
-It's so cute.

Our restaurant, The Promise, was launched
with ambitious goals to provide

dishes made from the best ingredients
with high quality service.

For the past three months,

we have worked very hard.

Anyhow, we would greatly appreciate it

if you could spread the word
about our latest spring menu.

Excuse me.

The director of Restaurant Services

from the head office,
Mr. Han Ji-hun, has just arrived.

He says he would like to say

a few words to everyone present.

Mr. Han.

I came to drop off my résumé.

-Come with me.
-Thank you.

Hello.

I'm Director Han Ji-hun.

I'd like to think

that your applause isn't for me,
but for our new menu.

Please enjoy the food
we have prepared today,

and provide us
with honest criticism and suggestions.

If you promote us a lot,

we will hold more of these events.

Thank you.

Please enjoy the food.

For today, it's free.

Please enjoy.

Thank you.

Hello.

Thank you.

Give me your car keys.

Why?

My car is at the repair shop.

Call Mr. Lee.

I sent him back to the head office
for something.

I don't have time to wait for him.
I'll be late.

Where are you going? Do you have a date?

Hey.

You know I got my car
just two days ago, right?

If you scratch it up like last time...

Gosh.

Wait.

That wasn't what I meant.

I meant, be careful.

You never know.

Accidents happen

without notice.

If it gets in the papers
that so-and-so's son got in an accident...

You shouldn't underestimate netizens.

Drive carefully, please.

-Mr. Park, they're looking for you.
-That little...

Okay.

Hello.

Please send us your story.

Hi, Mom.

Where are you? If you haven't left yet,

do you mind dropping by?

Why?

Why else?

It's your dad's birthday.

A wife wants to send her husband
a birthday present.

Drop by and pick it up.

Forget it.

Don't try to force things.

Why is that forcing?

Bye. I'll call you later.

You're so cute.

Eun-seong!

What happened?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Oh no.

Mom.

Mom.

-Mom.
-Why aren't you getting out?

You should get out and check
if you caused an accident.

-Are you okay?
-Mom.

-My goodness.
-Mom.

-Mom.
-Ma'am, are you okay?

-Wake up.
-Mom.

-Mom.
-Oh no.

-She's going to die.
-Mom.

What are you doing?
Hurry and take her to the hospital.

-Mom.
-Take her to the hospital.

-Get moving already.
-Excuse me. Wake up.

Mom.

-Mom.
-Is she hurt?

Mom.

Mom.

It's all right.

Mom.

Mom.

I hope she's okay.

You get in too. Sit beside your mom.

Mom...

Here's her phone. Take it.

I hope she isn't hurt.

My goodness.

Mom.

Mom.

My mom is dying.

My mom is dying.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Ms. Kang Hye-su, open your eyes.

Ms. Kang Hye-su.

Ms. Kang Hye-su?

It was a car accident, right?

Was she hit?

No.

I'm pretty sure she wasn't hit.

Luckily, she's responding to light.

Give her one liter of normal saline IV.

Okay.

Mom.

Mom, wake up.

-Wake up.
-It's okay. Come here.

Mom.

Mom.

Gosh, things are going to get complicated.

The mother is unconscious.

What?

Why did she faint if she wasn't even hit?

Wait, what if she's a con artist?

Con artist?

Yes.

Don't believe her
just because she has a kid.

I saw it on a TV program
that talks about current affairs.

There are many of them out there.

Let's talk later.

-I need to find out more first.
-Don't believe everything, okay?

-Hello?
-Hey.

Who are you?

-Pardon?
-Who are you?

We at Daon Hospital provide
high-quality service...

What is your relationship
with the owner of this phone?

What's it to you?

-Where are you?
-We at Daon Hospital will try our best.

-Hello?
-Thank you.

Where are you?

Hello?

Doctor, she's awake.

Are you awake?

Eun-seong.

-Mom.
-Eun-seong.

Does it hurt anywhere?

No, it doesn't.

We need to run some more tests,
so please wait a moment.

Okay.

Why am I here?

Mom, are you okay?

Are you really okay?

Are you alive? You're not dead?

Why would I die?

What happened, Eun-seong?

This man hit you with his car.

-That's not right.
-You hit her.

Eun-seong, I'm fine, so stop it.

You are not fine.

I thought you were going to die.

Why would I die?

I can't believe I'm in the ER.
What a mess.

Let's go home.

-Doctor, would you please--
-Hold on.

Hold on.

Just in case, get examined.

Examined?

Yes. Get a thorough examination right now

so I can see.

Don't say otherwise later.

I can't stand things like that.

Please give her a thorough examination
to make sure she isn't hurt.

No.

I'm fine.

No, you are not.

Get examined, and be done with it.

You should be quiet in a hospital.

Your voice is louder.

How old are you?

What about you?

You should answer
if an adult asks you something.

I'm seven.

You shouldn't suddenly run
into the street like that.

Didn't your kindergarten teach you
traffic safety?

I didn't suddenly run in.

You were driving recklessly

and almost killed my mom.

You brat.

Your mom told you to say that, didn't she?

What?

Eun-seong.

Mom.

Give me your number.

Call me when you get the results.

Okay.

Oh, that.

It was on the ground, so I picked it up.

Put in your number.

If you're feeling fine, you should go.

You know,

you should drive more carefully.

My child was almost hurt.

Let's check the dashcam footage.

-What?
-Look.

You either don't understand what happened,

or you're just pretending
and trying to pull something,

but let's be clear.

She suddenly ran into the street.

I stopped the car.

You fainted without even getting hit
by the car.

Check the test results,

and if you plan to keep complaining,

I'll call the police.

The police?

I...

Wait. I...

Excuse me.

Kang Hye-su's guardian.

You're Kang Hye-su's guardian, right?

-Yes.
-Here is the bill.

You may pay this there,

and please read this information.

Okay.

Where is Kang Hye-su?

Who are you?

And who are you?

I see.

You're the one
who answered her phone, right?

-Yes.
-So you caused the accident.

Did you settle

the compensation matter?

Compensation matter?

Come on now.

Did you settle everything?

It's this way, Boss.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Eun-seong, be careful.

Oh my.

I don't think we'll find her.

Let's go eat.

This is not the time to eat.

Lady!

Stop right there!

Go. Hurry.

Lady!

Move over!

Eun-seong, that way.

Get in.

Hurry.

I'm sorry. We'll just be a minute.

-What are you doing?
-I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

Eun-seong, hide.

Look there.

Sorry.

Mom, that hurts.

Are you okay?

It's okay.

Hey.

Get out.

Must I take you and your kid
to the police station?

I'm sorry. I was so desperate.

I'm okay.

-What is this?
-Let's end it with this.

Don't bug me anymore.

-What is...
-I don't know if you're her mom or sister,

but are you trying to use a kid
to win pity points?

Get with the times.
That is such a dated scheme.

-I don't think--
-Don't live like that.

Excuse me. I...

Let's get out, Eun-seong.

Be careful.

Excuse me.

Hold on, Eun-seong. Excuse me.

Mom.

What's wrong?

It's okay. I'm fine.

You must have been scared.

Gosh.

-Honey, blow out the candles.
-Sure.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Dad.

Let me pour you a drink.

-Thanks.
-You too.

There are many articles
about the restaurant.

I heard you're even living there.

For the time being.

-Don't overwork yourself.
-Try this.

Why are you working so hard
on a tiny restaurant?

But then again,
I'm sure it's overwhelming to go

from playing the guitar
to running a business.

It's not just a tiny restaurant.

It's the core restaurant

for the future
of our company's restaurant services.

Do you think I would've told him
to run it for no reason?

A small success eventually leads

to great success.

I first started

with a tiny store too.

You are indeed my son.

Your first business is a success.

You have a perfect score so far.

Here.

-Happy birthday.
-Thanks.

Here.

Punk. You should've stopped upsetting Dad
and helped with his business sooner.

Everyone is happy
now that you got your act together.

I know.

You're always looking out for me.

If I had quit music
and done business sooner,

it would've been easier for you.

Make sure you take care of yourself.

Don't overdo it.

Don't worry.

Excuse me. A guest is here.

A guest?

Oh, Na-yoon must be here.

You invited Na-yoon?

Chairman Seo called earlier.

He wanted to send a gift.

I said it was okay,

but he insisted on sending her.

That's good.

I wanted to introduce her

to Ji-hun anyway.

I see.

No, it isn't her.

Then who?

The lady from Samseong-dong...

That woman still hasn't come
to her senses.

You send her away.

Gosh.

I am

Chairman Han Seong-guk's wife.

Why won't you let me go
into my husband's house?

The neighbors will hear you.
Please keep it down.

Who cares? Let them hear.

My son.

My son is here.

-I'll take her.
-My son.

-Let's go.
-I'm not going anywhere.

I came to see your dad.

Did you drink?

Why?

Can't I drink?

Are you trying to kill yourself?

How could you drink?

I'm treated like I'm dead already.

It doesn't matter how I die.

Let's go.

-Let go of me!
-Let's go.

-Let go!
-Na-yoon.

Jeong-hun.

Hello.

It's been a while.

Who is she?

She is Chairman Seo Jong-chang's
eldest daughter.

I see.

You're the lady the chairman wants

as his daughter-in-law.

Jeong-hun's future bride, right?

You're pretty.

You look like me when I was young.

By the way,

have you heard

who I am?

-Let's go.
-Let go of me.

I need to see your dad.

I said to let go.

Let go of me.

I'm not going back.

Gosh.

I need to see your dad.

-Come on.
-Let go of me.

I'm going.

-Ma'am!
-Oh my.

Don't let any more alcohol
into this house.

-I try to stop her, but it's no use.
-Get up.

-Ma'am.
-Do you want some?

-Please get up.
-I'm fine.

-Right?
-Please go inside.

Let go of me.

-Ma'am.
-Let go.

-Let go of me.
-Oh my.

I can do it.

I can do anything.

You may go.

I'm sorry.

You're being ridiculous.

Why did you go there?

No one welcomes you.

Your dad wouldn't

take my calls.

All I wanted to do was say,

"Happy birthday."

He finds me annoying, is that it?

His health is deteriorating.

He doesn't have the energy to tend to you.

He still can't

take one call?

Did you take your medication?

Jeong-hun's

bride is

pretty.

You should get married too.

Marry someone from a more powerful family.

That is

how you can pay them back for me.

I asked if you took your medication.

That woman was scared

because you suddenly said

you'd run a business,

wasn't she?

She isn't like that.

You're a good son, is that it?

Are you taking her side?

If you don't want to hear that,
quit drinking and live a long life.

If you collapse again, it's over.
Don't you know that?

What's the point of living a long life?

I can't even go to my own son's wedding.

Then keep drinking and end your life now.

Go tell your dad

that I will not

back off like this.

Tell him not to think

that I'll just take his money
and get lost.

He said

I was the only one for him.

He scammed me.

Jerk.

Jerk.

Go to sleep. You're drunk.

Sleep.

Are we moving again?

Well,

this room is too small.

It has no ventilation and it's moldy.

It's so musty.

You said we'd stay here for a long time.

You said we'd stay here for a long time!

We're not going far.
I want to find somewhere a bit nicer.

A bit.

I mean it.

So don't get mad, and eat.

Here.

Who were those men?

Gosh.

How many times must I tell you?

They were following me
to get more tests done.

Those tests hurt so badly that I ran away.

Liar.

Why would I lie about that?

And you.

You'd better be careful
when crossing the street.

You can't run like that without looking.

Look both ways to see
if there are any cars.

I was so scared.

Mom.

You can tell me anything.

I'm not a baby anymore.

Tell you what?

You're still my baby.

That's not funny.

Fine. It's time for a riddle.

Why don't they play poker in the jungle?

Why not?

Eun-seong, why not?

Why not?

Why...

Too many cheating cheetahs.

Isn't that funny?

What do you call cheese that isn't yours?

What?

Nacho cheese.

Nacho cheese!
It sounds like, "Not your cheese."

I got you.

Hold on.

I don't need to answer that.

Eat this.

Chew well.

Is it good?

Eat.

-Hello.
-I thought

you were sleeping at home.

-You're still here?
-Yes.

Go home. Go.

Yes, sir. Good night.

Gosh.

The staff had a drink after cleaning up.

Here.

It's a collection of all the articles
and blog posts.

Good job.

Are you actually complimenting me?

I'm not used to this.

Hey, Mr. Han.

Go easy on us.

Because the head office's
director himself is working so hard

on the restaurant and even living here,

the employees are very stressed out.

You should sleep at home
on a day like this

and miss work every once in a while.

That's right.

What happened earlier?

-With what?
-The con artist you met.

Oh, that?

I took care of it.

Gosh.

Thank goodness it's over.

You can get scammed these days
and the damage could be serious.

Your name will be on the front page
of the papers.

And it will be all over the Internet.
These things can happen to you too, okay?

I'm going up. See you tomorrow.

The car is okay, right?

There aren't any scratches, right?

Why that...

Gosh.

If you borrow things... Gosh.

Only I would put up with this.

Hello?

Hello, is this the person
who caused the car accident earlier?

Car accident?

Who is this?

I am

-the one who was hit--
-You were hit?

I told you that I didn't hit you.

Did you get the test results?

No.

They haven't come out yet.

About that money.

Look.

I said it was over.

Why? Is that not enough?

Don't you dare contact me again.

I'll call the police.

Got it?

What...

Gosh.

Mom...

Mom...

Hey. Didn't you understand me?

I am

your mother's caregiver.

Yes.

She fainted again.

She was throwing up because she felt sick,

and she suddenly passed out.

She threw up blood too.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I had a lot of surgeries scheduled.

Is my mother in bad condition?

It's progressing more quickly
than expected.

We were able to stop the variceal bleeding
in the esophagus,

but I think she'll need a transplant

before it gets any worse.

As of now, she has a low probability

of getting one through
the Korean Network for Organ Sharing.

So if there is a family member
who may be a match,

you should talk to them.

I really can't do it?

You cannot.

First, your blood type doesn't match,

and the tests showed

that your blood vessels
and biliary tract are weak,

so we can't operate on you.

Are there any other family members?

What if

we can't operate?

How much time does she have left?

I can't say for certain,

but you should hurry.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hi.

Are you going somewhere?

Gosh,

it hasn't been long since you moved in.
Why are you moving out already?

I'm sorry. It's an urgent matter.

Even if it's an urgent matter...

I'm sorry.

Hello there.

It's been a while, Ms. Kang.

Didn't you hear me?

It's been a while.

It was crazy hard finding you.

You should at least say hello.

How did you find me?

That doesn't matter.

What matters
is that you defaulted on your loans

and you're also running from us.

I...

I paid back as much as I need to.

Oh, really?

Let's see about that.

You have six months of back interest.

With the principal,

it's 110.2 million won.

I feel bad for you,

so I'll deduct the 10.2 million won

and make it an even 100 million won.

One hundred million won?

One hundred million won.

You got compensated
for the car accident yesterday.

You can get 20 million won easily.

What?

You didn't get paid?

That jerk.

Should I get it for you?

Please move.

I can't pay you that money.

What?

What?

What's this?

You don't want to pay?

No.

I don't want to pay.

I paid back as much as I need to
and did all I could.

Do you know how much interest I paid you
since my husband died?

I paid back the principal
several times over.

I never bought clothes for my kid
and paid you instead every day. But what?

One hundred million won?

One hundred million won?

Hey.

You're not even human.

Am I an animal, then?

Am I?

Lady.

Don't you think

we're used to hearing these sob stories?

So

why did your late husband borrow
that money from us?

That money is precious to us too.

Do you think I got that money
from the ground?

That's why I paid back as much as I could.

I did all I could!

Hey.

Do I look like a pushover to you?

Do I?

I do, don't I?

If you can't get the money,
sell your body or something.

Okay?

Why are you wasting your body?

Shall I introduce you to someone?

How old is your daughter now?

She's a pretty little thing.

What are you trying to say?

Well, you know,

I just hope she continues
to grow up to be pretty.

You understand

what I mean, right?

If I catch you running away again,

I won't forgive you.

Got it?

Don't starve your kid,

and raise her well.

It won't work.

Hello?

Is this Ms. Kang Hye-su?

Yes, it is.

This is the restaurant The Promise.

You submitted
your résumé yesterday, right?

Yes.

When can you start?

Can we meet today?

Pardon?

Gosh.

You live close by.

It's good.

Why don't you meet the kitchen crew today

and start working tomorrow?

Thank you for hiring me.

But why did you move so often?

I had my reasons.

We had several strong candidates,

-but somebody strongly recommended you,
-Please enjoy.

saying you were highly skilled.

Who?

How have you been?

Please reconsider

what I asked before.

There's nothing to think about.

Give it up.

Please save my mom.

Your mom?

Why should I save her?

You're family.

You're the only person who can save her.

Family?

Is that what your mom said?

That I'm family?

Tell her that I don't have

family like her.

-Uncle.
-I am not your uncle!

You're no nephew of mine,

and your mom is no sister of mine.

She changed her name decades ago.

Why does she say I'm her brother now?

Please.

It's urgent.

I'll give you however much you want.

You have money, is that it?

You're just like your mom.

Fine.

Money takes care of everything,
doesn't it?

Go ask your mom.

When I went to her ten years ago

to ask for just a million won...

When my wife was dying,

and I asked to borrow

just a million won to pay for her surgery,

do you know what your mom said?

She said she didn't know me.

"Who are you?"

That's what she said.

Why are you coming to a stranger

and claiming to be family?

She has all the money in the world,
but she can't find a liver?

Why are you begging here?

You can offer me 10 billion won
or even 100 billion won,

but I would never do anything
for your mom.

Understand?

Who knows?

If she can bring my wife back
from the dead,

I may reconsider.

-Uncle.
-I'm not your uncle.

Wrap things up here.

-Yes, sir.
-I'm heading home.

All right. Goodbye.

Are you done with work?

-Get lost!
-Oh my!

-You're just wasting your time.
-What was that?

-Listen carefully.
-My goodness.

Just because I have no money,

it doesn't mean I have no pride.

Get lost.

Get out of my sight.

Get back in bed.

Why are you up?

How much longer

do I have?

Six months?

Three months?

Who said that?

Ji-hun.

Save me.

From now on,

I will do whatever you say.

I'll quit drinking

and control my temper.

I'll do anything if I can live.

My life can't

end like this.

It's not fair.

You finally got your act together

and started working at the company.

There will be so many good days ahead.

Must I die without seeing them?

I want to see you getting acknowledged
by your dad,

getting married,

and having kids.

I want to see you do those things
before I die.

Do you know what my wish is?

I want to take a family portrait
like other families.

I want one with my son,

daughter-in-law, and grandchild.

I want to take a proper family portrait.

I've been nothing
but a shadow all my life.

I can't just disappear quietly
like a shadow.

Please let me live
a little longer, Ji-hun.

I'm begging you.

Please save me.

Ji-hun.

Please save me.

Ji-hun.

Please save me, Ji-hun.

Ji-hun.

Why didn't you lead a better life, then?

Who told you to live like this?

Ji-hun.

Ji-hun!

Ji-hun!

Ji-hun...

-All right.
-I'll do that.

Okay.

Why is a young person
like you sighing so much?

I'm sorry, Chef.

We're done with lunch,
so wrap up and go home.

Yes, sir.

Chef.

I can't get paid in advance
on my first day, right?

In advance?

Never mind. I'll see you tomorrow.

Bring me the knife.

There is a special wine order at 7 p.m.

-Have a nice day.
-You too.

Where are you going?

Just a minute.

Hye-su.

Seung-ju.

What are you doing here?

Do you work here?

Yes.

Are you the one who recommended me?

No wonder I got hired so easily.

How have you been?

Eun-seong must be so big now.

Yes.

How about you?

Are you staying out of trouble?

Can't you tell?

Look where I work.

You're right.

You're so admirable.

How's Mother?

Is she well?

Yes.

She's fine.

I'm busy, so I need to go.
I'll see you tomorrow.

May I visit

and see Eun-seong sometime?

Of course.

Come over.

Those jerks showed up again?

Gosh.

I thought maybe they'd give up by now.

Look at you.

That's why I say you're naive.

I told you there's no point in hiding.

I was able to avoid them
for a few months this time.

I thought I could breathe again.

So how big is the debt now?

Forget it.

What will change from me knowing that?

You can't pay it back anyway.

My gosh.

What's wrong with your husband?

How could he die on his own
after leaving you that debt?

-Hey.
-That hurts.

What did my husband do wrong?

He just trusted people too much
because he was so nice.

That's not being nice.

That's why he ruined you
and left you behind?

Are you stupid?

And why did you stand joint surety
for a loan?

Gosh. When you were dating him,

I should've locked you up and stopped you.

What was so great about him

that you got married at that young age?

And why did you have to have
a kid so soon?

-Ju-yeon.
-What?

I don't regret having Eun-seong, okay?

I'm just upset, okay?

Gosh, if only my brother hadn't
gotten in trouble.

Gosh, I need to go see that punk later.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Gosh, that jerk.

What would you like done?

-I wanted to--
-Is it your first time here?

Yes. I wanted to get gel nails.

Are you leaving?

I have to pick up Eun-seong.

Bye.

It's just for one month. Please?

The thing is...

Eun-seong, come.

-How cute.
-How have you been?

I'll make sure to pay interest.

I mean it.

Please?

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Please?

I see.

It's okay.

All right.

Eun-seong...

Eun-seong.

Eun-seong.

Eun-seong!

Eun-seong!

Eun-seong!

Eun-seong!

Eun-seong.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

Eun-seong.

Gosh.

How old is your daughter now?

She's a pretty little thing.

Eun-seong.

Eun-seong!

Eun-seong!

Cha Eun-seong!

Eun-seong.

Cha Eun-seong!

Mom.

What are you doing here?

Why did you run off like that again?

You promised me, didn't you?

Do you want to get
into another car accident?

Why won't you listen to me?

You left me.

-What?
-You took off by yourself

and left me.

I kept calling you, but...

I did?

You called for me?

I was out of my mind.

Eun-seong, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Eun-seong. It was my fault.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

-This much.
-This much.

Tell me.

Are you leaving me?

I won.

-She's not in?
-No, sir.

Darn it.

Darn.

Let's go that way.

Where are we going?

THE PROMISE

Come back here.

Come back here.

Eun-seong.

I'm going to get you.

Eun-seong.

I'm going this way.

Is it good?

Yes.

-Should we make another lap?
-Okay.

Let's go for a walk. I'm so full.

Didn't you go see your uncle?

It didn't work out?

What about going abroad?

-Did you look into it?
-Right.

I looked into it,

but it's not as safe as we thought,

since we don't know the donor.

It has to be a family member, right?

Is there no one else?
Don't you have any other family?

My mom cut off ties with everyone
and led a harsh life.

If the chairman finds out,

maybe he'd help.

Do you think my dad would do that?

He may even be happy
that it has come to this.

No way.

Is there no other way?

My legs hurt.

Your legs hurt?

Should we rest there for a bit?

How long are we going to walk?

We already made ten laps
around the neighborhood.

Come on. This is nothing.

You need to walk a lot for your legs

-to become strong and--
-So that I can run away well.

It's okay. Let's keep walking.

I can walk to the end of the earth.

Eun-seong.

Eun-seong.

Why are you angry?

Eun-seong.

I'm sorry. Let's go.

Are you cold?

Hang in there.

-Have a good night.
-I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

Eun-seong.

Let's go inside.

Let's go.

Guess where we are.

This is the restaurant
where I'll be working.

Really? You got a job?

Of course.

Ta-da.

Ta-da.

You know what I'm capable of, right?

I am

going to take over this restaurant.

So many customers will

rush through those doors.

Why has the food gotten so good?

Ma'am.

I know the food is good,
but you can't faint here.

My baby has finally smiled.

Mom.

Yes?

I told you I'm not a baby anymore.

I know everything.

What?

Those men came

to get money from you, right?

Right?

That's not it.

Yes, it is.

That's not it.

Stop lying.

You always tell me not to lie,

so why do you lie?

Eun-seong.

Here. Take this.

10,000 WON

What is this?

Auntie Ju-yeon gave it to me
to buy myself a gift for Christmas.

I don't need it.

Use it to pay back the debt.

Give it to those men.

Let's go home, Mom.

I will kick out those men.

I'll kick them and hit them.

I'll kick them out.

Do you know how strong I am?

Three pairs for 5,000 won.

You're pretty,
so I'll give you 7 pairs for 10,000 won.

-Thank you.
-These are the latest design.

Aren't they so pretty?

-Give me the prettiest ones.
-Okay. One, two, three, four, five...

Five, six, seven. Here.

-That will be 10,000 won.
-Thank you.

Thank you.

-Goodbye.
-Good night.

Please come again.

Why did you come? Go home and rest.

-Have you had dinner?
-Of course.

Aunt.

-Why are your shoulders so stiff?
-Hey.

Did you get fired again?

Did you cause trouble again?

-I told you I got my act together.
-Gosh.

I'm not the Cho Seung-ju you used to know.

Trust me, will you?

You must make me trust you.

Every time you smile and act nice,

my heart skips a beat from worry.

I was only trouble to you, wasn't I?

That's right.

Auntie.

I saw Hye-su.

She's struggling a lot.

Did she tell you

that she's struggling?

She had it coming to her.

Don't talk about

that witch again.

-Hello.
-Yes, hello.

They'll think we're robbers.

I should ask for permission.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Just in case, get examined.

Don't say otherwise later.

I can't stand things like that.

Excuse...

Yes.

I'm relying on you.

Ji-hun, I'm glad you're here.

I know someone in China
who's good at these things,

so I asked him.

Well,

it won't be easy, but there must be a way.

Just wait a little.

I have no time to wait.

Find me someone to marry.

What nonsense is that?

My mom's wish is to have a family.

Then so be it.

Let's make somebody
her daughter-in-law legally

and get her a transplant.

So what are you saying?

You'll get a fake wife

to give your mom a liver transplant?

How much will it take?

One hundred million won?

Two hundred million won?

One hundred million won?

Two hundred million won?

Hold on.

One hundred million won...

Wait a second.

My brain can't process what you just said.

So what you mean

is you'll marry any woman

if she agrees

to give your mom a liver transplant?

To be exact,

I'll enter into a contract.

I don't care how much it takes.

I'll pay her generously.

Find someone that will work.

This isn't just about money.

What was that?

What are you doing here?

Marry me.

I'll marry you.

Make sure she keeps her mouth shut

and doesn't tell anyone what she heard.

About last night...

How much did you hear?

I thought I should return this.

I don't think you're in any position
to return this.

You got an MRI after a car accident
last week, didn't you?

Will I die, Doctor?

Your chance of survival isn't high.

Do a background check on her.

Something is off about her.
