ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

FINALE

I thought we were done negotiating.

Yes, but there is something I need to check

before the case is wrapped up.

Sure.

Do you really want to…

divorce your wife?

It's true

that I gave her a hard time throughout our marriage.

And she insisted on getting a divorce even though I asked for forgiveness.

I had no other choice.

May I take it that you want to

preserve your marriage?

Ms. Ma.

What's the…

purpose of this divorce?

What do you mean?

Your contempt for Chairman Seo,

the long-awaited revenge…

Are those really your reasons?

You wear the crown

of pain and disgrace.

So it's no wonder you'd want to take it off.

But then again,

you've already held out for so long.

Why don't you

hold on to that crown?

Are you telling me not to divorce him?

Chairman Seo,

you're only getting divorced because Ms. Ma wants to.

And Ms. Ma wants to secure her dear grandson's financial stability,

even if it means divorce.

That's the situation between you two.

Interesting.

So?

I'd like for both of you

to focus on the essence of this matter.

Give Ms. Ma her share.

Do it while you're married.

I know that

you have always done your best for Gi-yeong.

I'll also do my best for him.

However,

I hope your decision for Gi-yeong…

This is how I feel, at least.

I hope it won't be a sacrifice on your part.

I see.

So what's Shin Sung-han's endgame?

Didn't you come this far because of what happened to your sister?

So tell me.

What's Shin Sung-han's true endgame?

My endgame?

My endgame is…

to file for the termination of parental rights over Gi-yeong.

You're determined to go all the way

whether I get divorced or not, correct?

Yes.

Let's call off the divorce.

I'll give her her share.

Wouldn't you say my attorneys are very competent?

Yes, I think they're excellent.

My divorce suit is about to end

before they get to show off their skills.

Is that so?

Maybe this is for the best.

This old couple's divorce suit was just a warm-up.

They will now be focusing solely

on keeping my grandson.

And you're…

going to lose.

I'll talk to your attorneys

regarding the settlement between you and Ms. Ma.

And…

as for the lawsuit over my nephew…

I'm going to win.

You sure are an artist.

How naive.

You really won't tell me?

I need to know what you talked about with Uncle Sung-han.

Gi-yeong.

This is your home, and I'm your parent.

Why do you keep going back to your uncle?

Right.

Can I tell you something?

What?

About going back on the radio.

I still can't make up my mind.

Why not?

I don't think this is the right time.

How so?

You know how Attorney Shin helped us when we were having a hard time?

And he even let me work for him.

That's why we can live safely right now.

It's a bit complicated, but that's how it is.

And the thing is,

Attorney Shin is going through a hard time right now.

Why?

Just like I wanted to live with you,

he wants to live with his nephew.

But apparently, it's very hard to make that happen.

I think it's time for me to return the favor.

I support you whether you're a streamer or a radio DJ.

Just…

don't let the haters get you down.

That's my request.

NOTARIAL DEED

Go find a place for your café.

Goodness, how can I ever thank you?

PAYMENT AGREEMENT

Now that I got you a café like you wanted,

we have nothing to do with each other.

I got my severance pay, so I'd be happy to back off.

PETITION TO TERMINATE PARENTAL RIGHTS

This is the nonsense Shin Sung-han is up to.

He filed for the termination of parental rights.

If you try to do something stupid,

we'll go down together.

I'm not going down alone.

I heard Park Yu-seok is looking for a spot for his café.

He didn't come to you?

Not after I doused him with all the cockroach spray.

He was just testing the water that day.

Why the heck would he feel me out?

Not you.

Like I said, it was a show to feel out Jin Yeong-ju.

So like, "You better shut my mouth before I do something"?

That jerk will never change.

So Mr. Jung said he'll testify.

What about Ms. Ma?

She can't testify.

See?

She's a mother after all.

Of course she'd put her son before her grandson.

Termination of parental rights?

That's too harsh. Why would you take it that far?

Here's the thing.

I don't really remember…

my mother's cooking.

I just remember that it was delicious.

But what I do remember is…

how she held me in her arms, supported me,

and scolded me at times.

That's what I remember.

Do you think…

one could live a good life from nourishment alone?

I'm…

taking a step back from this lawsuit.

Do you understand?

Yes, I do.

Let's look into this café he's getting from Jin Yeong-ju.

If we can prove that Seo Jeong-guk and Jin Yeong-ju

broke any laws during Ju-hwa's divorce,

- we definitely have a chance. - Right.

Imagine if Gi-yeong grew up and found out about it.

How will he live with them?

I'll look into the average severance pay at Keumhwa.

A café is an unusual severance pay.

You're back.

Why are you still here?

I'm just…

a bit lost.

Child support suits are tough, aren't they?

Yes.

I think Jun-hui's mom already knows

that it's hard and time-consuming to get a court order for child support.

Did you say her grandmother is filing the suit?

Yes.

That might be why it's taking so long.

How could the law be so ineffective?

That's how the law is.

At times, it sides with the worst of our kind.

The woman took her mother-in-law's recipe and started a franchise.

She's raking in money.

But she says she has no income because it's all her husband's, man.

I'm not your "man."

Sorry, sir.

Why don't you try looking at it from a different perspective?

What do you mean?

The recipe…

The grandma's recipe…

At this point,

I'm on the verge of holding a protest in front of Corn Sujebi,

saying, "Everything made by these jerks is poison!"

- That could work. - What?

The recipe wasn't patented,

so we can't prove that the grandma invented it.

What should we do then?

We leave it up to customers' sentiments.

Corn sujebi isn't exactly common.

She took the recipe

from her mother-in-law's restaurant

that she used to help run alongside her late husband.

And now she's neglecting her child,

using the recipe to…

You scared me.
