(Dia Pawnshop)

I finally meet you, Ms. Kim Haeng Ja of Geumdong Market.

Likewise.

However, you look familiar.

Did we meet a long time ago?

I don't know.

I don't remember meeting you.

Well, you must be busy. Please tell me why you're here.

What could be more important...

than meeting the investor before launching a new product?

I guess you have done preparing everything.

Derma products are so difficult to make.

But I think our research team achieved a great result this time.

Our new products will come out next week.

Please check them, and sign the contract.

Last time I talked to Bu Sik, he said you failed.

You succeeded very quickly.

I hired the best researchers to improve the efficiency.

You know my conditions, don't you?

Of course I do.

If our offer is the same, you'll invest in Suk Pyo's project...

because he reached out to you first.

Isn't that what you mean?

That's correct.

To me, Suk Pyo is like my own family.

I thought he would pull it off before I do.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Of course.

However, I'm always worried about Suk Pyo's health.

Since Chairwoman Goo was running the company...

while Suk Pyo was in middle school, I've been watching him.

To me, he's like my own nephew.

Then why did you kick him out?

I'm sorry. It came out wrong.

This is how scary gossip can be.

I tried to stop it to the end,

but people misunderstood me.

I mean, I can't do everything as I want when running a business.

Gosh.

Since you're soft-hearted,

it must be hard for you to be the CEO of a company.

If I'm meant to be the CEO, I should accept it.

I have no choice.

You even deceived me just to let this happen?

You should've told me that you met the factory manager.

You can't do any work all by yourself.

Besides, you're fighting against a large company.

Especially CEO Kim is so clever with handling his people.

How could you be so reckless and do it by yourself?

- Stop it already. - I won't stop.

The project that we've been working on for over 20 years...

is about to burst like a bubble.

What are you going to do?

He lost the products, not the technology.

Ms. Gil, this is not the time for you to be so naive.

Where do you think the product went to?

Of course, CEO Kim probably has it now.

It's probably at the research lab.

If they analyse the ingredients, they can make a similar product...

even if they can't make the same one.

And if they add their own technology,

they could make their products better than the one they stole.

What should we do?

Before you start over with your technology,

the derma cosmetic product will be launched by Genius...

under CEO Kim Hee Soo's name.

Listen. I have a lot to tell you...

I left the product in my house.

"The product"?

What product?

I pulled a stunt on CEO Kim.

The one in Secretary Lee's house is real.

What CEO Kim took is fake.

- Good job. - No problem.

They must be so excited.

But the product they have is full of preservatives.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you.

Even so...

Even so, how could you lie to me as well?

I can't believe you.

I was so worried and couldn't sleep well at night.

Don't you think that's too much?

Ms. Gil, I think I'm the one who should say that.

What did I tell you? I said she would be like this.

Everyone, hear me out.

They set up a spy camera in my car and Secretary Lee's house...

and kept me in check at the center. What else could I have done?

A spy camera in his house?

CEO Kim completely lost his mind.

So until when will you keep putting on an act?

They're probably still keeping you in check.

I'm going to put on a big show for the last time.

How?

What? What is it? Why?

Gosh. Not again.

Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong. Door. Door please.

- Mr. Hong, come on. - Don't call me unless it's urgent.

Suk Pyo.

What's wrong with him? What is happening?

(Korean Bar Association)

Who filed the petition against me to the disciplinary committee?

I have the right to know that much.

I never abused my position as a lawyer...

or damaged the dignity of lawyers.

Is that so? Then I'll look into it by myself.

CEO Kim got me first.

Come in.

What brings you here?

It's chaotic downstairs, but you seem so relaxed.

"Relaxed"?

What happened downstairs?

CEO Hong collapsed again.

I heard it also happened at the shareholders' meeting.

Isn't this the end of his career?

Are you involved in this?

I don't think I should tell you that.

I hope you have nothing to do with what happened to Hong Suk Pyo.

What's wrong with you?

You said your target was Hong Suk Pyo.

You said you would take him down. What has gotten into you?

Was your pride scarred because I took him down first? Or...

Or what? Go on.

Lately, you seem like you're helping Hong Suk Pyo...

instead of trying to take him down.

Am I wrong?

I just realised I should make sure if my position is secure...

before I step on others to get ahead.

What's wrong about you?

I also thought my position was secure.

I didn't know it was like a sandcastle.

Why do you sound so helpless?

Should I watch you fall apart too?

Gosh. I got nothing again today.

Now

What are you doing? Can't you see that I'm cleaning?

Take him out.

Excuse me. I was told to clean here when the CEO is working outside.

My manager told me that. Let go of me.

Let me go. I said... Hey. Let go of me...

Leave while I'm asking you nicely.

We'll finish cleaning the CEO's office.

What are you talking about? Last time...

Mr. Jung Geun Sup.

How dare you try to steal information here?

What were you saying?

Nothing.

I was scolded by my manager for not cleaning properly last time.

Leave while I'm asking you nicely.

I know who you are.

They're really a pro at this. Gosh.

In Woo, let's go.

Good citizens like us should stay away from a place like this.

What happened?

Those people really scare me.

This company is practically a breeding ground for crime.

Let's go. Come on.

Where did I see that?

Haeng Ja, Yang Ah said that CEO Kim came by.

What did he say?

What would a businessman have said when he came to borrow money?

So did you lean towards CEO Kim?

He said he'll show me the product next week. Why should I say no?

He stole that product from Suk Pyo.

Someone stole the product on his way back from the factory.

As soon as it was stolen, CEO Kim came and said he has the product.

Isn't it obvious?

So?

What do you mean?

You won't invest in CEO Kim's project, will you?

I'm an investor who only sees the result before making moves.

But he stole the product.

There's no proof that he stole it.

Right. Besides, the one who stole it is bad indeed,

but the one who lost the products should take the blame.

How will he run a business with that mindset?

Haeng Ja.

Should I hide it from Haeng Ja too?

He needs to be a lot more focused.

Listen up.

If you let your emotions sway your judgement, your business,

especially the kind that deals with money, you will be doomed.

How will you invest money in them, knowing about their bad conduct?

Where's Mr. Hong now?

He's at home.

Just go make him feel better.

Haeng Ja, you're so cold-hearted.

Did you realise that just now?

That's my secret to surviving in this business.

If you jump into water to save someone who's drowning,

you'll both die.

Eun Jo, hang in there just a little longer.

I'm doing this for you and Hong Suk Pyo.

(Dia Pawnshop)

I waited to have a talk with you even though I'm in a rush.

About what?

You shouldn't treat Haeng Ja like that no matter what.

How dare you go at Haeng Ja like that just to side with a guy?

How ungrateful.

There are more things I want to say, but I'm in a rush now.

Let's talk again at home.

I sent the products to our research lab.

I also sent our guys to Namhae,

so they won't be able to operate the factory for a while.

Tell them to analyse the ingredients as soon as possible.

Yes, sir. Also, I heard that Hong Suk Pyo...

fainted again at the beauty center.

One of the employees called us directly about it.

Goodness, that poor guy.

He's too young for that.

That's why I advised him to take care of his health.

Young people these days don't listen to elders.

I kicked out Jung Geun Sup.

What should we do about Jung In Woo?

I think we'll need to use her once more, so just leave her for now.

Yes, sir.

As for Suk Pyo, send him some flowers if he's hospitalized.

Yes, sir.

I heard that Kim Haeng Ja had collapsed a while ago.

She's definitely gotten soft.

She's not as sharp as she used to be.

I was nervous for nothing. Goodness.

Now, we just need to launch the products.

(25 percent discount on a haircut, perm, or dye)

The flyer turned out nicely.

Yes, it looks good,

but how long will it take me to distribute all of this?

What brings you here?

Oh, boy.

What do you think?

It's just a rice cake.

Hasn't In Jung told you?

On her way to work early this morning,

she placed an order for these to be distributed with your flyers.

In Jung did that?

But isn't this strange?

Your logo is more noticeable than my flyer.

That's cheating.

Come on. Let me promote my business...

while you advertise yours.

I'll only charge you for half of the rice cakes instead.

And most people just throw out flyers right away.

If you give it out with the rice cake, they'll take it.

You didn't come up with this idea, right?

How did you know?

In Jung is very smart.

Give it to me. I'll show you how it should be done.

I brought this with me.

If you give it out like this, they'll definitely read the flyer.

This is good.

All right. This will benefit both of us. Let's give it a shot.

It's like killing two birds with a stone,

killing 2 flies with 1 slap.

We'll fill two needs with a deed. How amazing is that?

He totally got away.

Where did he go? Seriously.

Please take this. Thank you.

Hello, please take this.

I'm speechless.

He said he didn't even have time to eat.

I'm going to teach you a serious lesson today.

Myung Jo.

Hey, Myung Jo!

How did she know that I'd be here? Darn it.

Where's he going? Hey, you'd better stop right there!

Where are you going? Hey!

Gosh, seriously! Hey!

My gosh.

- Myung Jo, did you hurt your leg? - Gosh, it's here.

I'm so sorry. Is it here?

Goodness, you should've been careful.

Oh, no. Where exactly is it?

- Aunt Eun Jung... - Here? Does it hurt a lot?

- It hurts... - My goodness.

Hello, I'm from Sook's Hair Salon.

Please visit us.

Hello, I'm from Sook's Hair Salon at the intersection.

Please visit us. You won't be disappointed.

Hello.

Please take this. There's a rice cake too.

Enjoy the rice cake, and please visit Sook's Hair Salon.

Hello, sir. We give great men's haircuts too.

- Aunt Eun Jung is so good at this. - Please visit us.

Hello, please take one.

I'm starting to feel sorry to her.

Take this, sir. It's for Sook's Hair Salon at the intersection.

It's been around for 30 years.

You won't be disappointed.

Hello, please take this.

We give great haircuts. Please visit us.

It's Sook's Hair Salon at the intersection over there.

Wait, take this. It's for Sook's Hair Salon at the intersection.

Enjoy the rice cake. Thank you.

My gosh.

I hope the flyers work.

They will. Don't worry.

People were fighting over them because of the rice cakes.

How did you come up with such a great idea?

When we distribute flyers at work,

product samples make a world of difference.

Your customers are mainly older women,

so I thought rice cakes would be good.

This is why education is so important.

- Please visit us. - My gosh.

Hello, sir. Please take this.

- What is it? - We give great haircuts too.

- Please visit us. - It's Ms. Gil.

It's for Sook's Hair Salon at the intersection.

- Please visit us. - Why did that woman...

I gave a stack of flyers to Myung Jo because he wanted to help out.

I can totally understand why his aunt is against your relationship.

To be honest, I'd probably be more against it if I were in her shoes.

Both Ms. Kim and Eun Jo... Goodness.

I'm too ashamed to face them.

Don't be so weak.

Myung Jo and I will get through this together.

See? Even his aunt is in my hands now.

My gosh, she's clever like a fox.

Right, she's always been that clever.

The foolish one is the problem.

Just thinking about her is raising my blood pressure.

CEO Kim is a scary person.

Do not believe anything he tells you.

Regardless of what you want, the outcome will be the opposite of it.

Those people really scare me.

This company is practically a breeding ground for crime.

- Mr. Hong, Mr. Hong! - Suk Pyo.

What are you so happy about?

Why should I not be happy?

Dad stood trial, and he's on probation now.

Mom just took the cast off.

She keeps sighing because her salon isn't doing well.

What are you so excited about?

Hope.

- What? - I can finally see hope.

Dad seems weaker than he used to be,

but he seems more at ease these days.

Mom is working very hard...

to revive her business.

I am still a little worried about you,

but things aren't too bad for me right now.

Hope? I guess you can say that because of Myung Jo.

That's true too.

But actually, it's not so easy.

Do you even know...

how many hurdles we have to overcome to be together?

But it's still better than just breaking up.

That's why I'm saying I can see hope.

I heard an ambulance came because Mr. Hong fainted earlier in the day.

Did that make you feel better?

Yes, it did.

It was gratifying to watch that.

You're saying that, but you don't seem happy about it at all.

Stop by the café even if it's late.

I need to talk to you.

It's getting late. Why didn't you call?

Are you okay?

I'm all right. Why? Did you hear something?

I heard that Mr. Hong fainted at the beauty center today.

Choong Seo went to see him, but I suddenly got worried about you.

Your phone was off all day too.

Oh, I guess I forgot to turn it back on after the trial.

Let's please make sure we call each other often, okay?

I'm always worried about you.

Why did you worry about me when Hong Suk Pyo is the one who fainted?

I can see what's going on.

Judging from what I heard from Choong Seo and Jong Hee,

the current CEO seems to have a lot of problems.

He's the one who hired you.

CEO Kim and CEO Hong are fighting over the position as the CEO.

But I'm just an employee.

I just have to do my work. What's there to worry about?

That's the case, right? I'm worried for nothing, aren't I?

Of course.

I'm relieved.

Since I'm here, I should cook dinner for my son.

Okay. You don't have to come if it's not a good time for you.

See you tomorrow, Eun Jo.

CEO Kim asked Ms. Kim to close the deal.

With the product he stole?

He's going to fall apart soon.

I thought Eun Jo would come right away. That was unexpected.

She went to the design house to check the container.

I see. Is this the real product?

It smells good too.

Right? It came out so well.

Oh, right. CEO Kim probably sent someone to the factory in Namhae.

Of course you took care of that too.

The factory manager is working at another factory now.

How much longer were you planning to lie to me?

Why didn't you lie to me to the end?

Relax. He got me at first as well.

I think it was... My house got messed up once.

What's this?

Mr. Hong, see if there's anything missing.

Oh, Chairwoman Goo's...

Mr. Hong, what's wrong? Are you all right?

I saw a spy camera between the scribbles.

At first, I thought he really fainted.

I wondered if he was having a relapse. I was so worried.

I had to do that to trick CEO Kim.

Wait. Could there still be a spy camera or a tap in here?

Director Goo. Director Goo.

- Jong Hee. - Yes? Why, Hyung?

"Hyung"?

It's already been taken care of, so let Mr. Hong finish.

Okay, Hyung.

Suk Pyo, go on.

Okay. My plan began...

when I got the call from the factory at Seongsu-dong.

CEO Kim probably thought I didn't know the factory manager.

That's because you weren't in Korea when the factory was built.

Even so, I'm surprised CEO Kim made a mistake like that.

He must've been in a rush.

(25 percent discount on a haircut, perm, or dye)

Here you go.

How is CEO Hong doing?

Well, he got better quickly.

It must be hard for him.

For you and Jong Hee as well.

It's not easy.

Anyway, what's that?

It's a flyer of In Woo's mom's hair salon.

However, why are you,

my wife, looking so worried while looking at it?

Can I work at the hair salon again?

What?

I want you to quit your job at the café too and stay home.

You want to work at the hair salon?

I get paid decently at the hair salon.

Is it that hard to receive money from your daughter?

Actually, it's not that.

I have a debt.

I'll be free from the debt a few months later.

I'll work at the hair salon just until I pay off my debt.

Why didn't you tell me about your debt?

If you had told me, we could've figured out something.

I don't want that.

I already feel apologetic to Bu Sik. I can't let you do that too.

I caused this mess. I'll take care of it by myself.

Is that why you're putting off registering our marriage?

That was the reason.

Actually, I meant to propose to you...

on the day I pay off my debt.

Only then, I wouldn't be ashamed to face Jong Hee...

and the owner of this house.

Don't be like that, and...

Please let me handle this my way.

Only that would remove my burden.

However, you said you and the hair salon owner...

pulled each other's hair.

Do you think she'll hire you back?

You said men can make up with each other...

by drinking together even after a fist fight.

It's the same for women.

If she doesn't hire me back, I'll beg her.

Then what's my part?

Stay by my side like you did until now.

That's easy.

- One more thing. - What is it?

Stop snooping around the kitchen.

Also, don't nag me too much.

Don't just hold back in front of Jong Hee.

And don't walk on eggshells around CEO Hong.

The sunset

- Over the ocean - I'm not finished yet.

I will go with you

Even if the world changes

Why did you call me over?

Your face is still full of anger.

If that's what you want to say, I'll leave now.

When I believed Haeng Ja's assets were mine,

I couldn't sleep well.

I woke up several times while sleeping in her house.

800,000 dollars? I couldn't spend...

the rest of my life in prison to keep that money.

The thought of it scares me.

In that sense, I'm grateful to your mom.

And I'm also grateful to Ms. Kim, who forgave me.

That's what you think.

Do you still think it's unfair?

Is that why you're looking to work with CEO Kim?

Mind your own business.

Do you feel a little better because Hong Suk Pyo fainted?

What did you get from that?

I will start working in the manager training team at the head office.

Did CEO Kim promise you that?

You made him faint just to join the training team?

Why didn't you ask him for a beauty center?

Dad.

All right. Let's say you work at the training team.

Once you start working there, you'll be CEO Kim's puppet.

He'll call you and make you do ridiculous things.

He'll make you do worse things over time.

It'll be agonizing to do as he says,

but if you don't do it, you'll lose everything.

It hasn't even happened yet. How do you know all that?

Also, he'll reward me as long as I do well whatever he wants.

Do you think I would agonize?

- You will. - Why?

It's because you're my daughter.

You're just like me.

If I were you, I would end up agonizing...

and regretting.

Dad.

Can you still not see your mom's tears?

If I don't deserve to stop you,

think of your mom instead, and stop here.

Do you know what's the cruellest revenge?

Dragging down someone...

and causing pain and distress to that person?

No.

It's to become happy yourself.

So? Are you happy now?

You're cleaning someone else's building...

and sleep in here because you don't have a house.

You don't even have any money to give to your daughters.

Despite all that, are you happy?

It would be a lie if I say that I'm happy.

However, it's better than when I was living in Haeng Ja's house.

I'm pursuing my own happiness now.

(A skin therapist at Sook's Hair Salon)

(25 percent discount on a haircut, perm, or dye)

(1 free facial massage after 5 times of perm)

What do you want me to do?

Should I live like I did before?

I can't. It's too hard.

Come in.

Why are you still up?

Haeng Ja.

Yes?

I'm sorry I got mad at you earlier.

I should've been more thoughtful.

It's okay. That's how you learn.

I shouldn't treat you like that in any circumstances.

Eun Jo.

I don't want you to think that you're indebted to me.

If you feel that you absolutely have to pay me back,

pay it forward instead of paying me back.

Pay it forward? To whom?

The kids at the orphanage?

Well, yes. You could help them.

You could also pay it forward to your future child.

Okay.

How's Suk Pyo doing? He must be very disappointed.

He won't give up like this.

You know the saying, "It's not over until it's over."

"It's not over until it's over"?

All right. I'll look forward to seeing what happens.

(Investment Agreement)

Would you like to sign the agreement now?

Okay, let's do it.

Sir, you have a guest.

Whoever it is, tell the person to wait.

Can't you see that I'm dealing with an important matter now?

Well, it's...

It's been a while, CEO Kim.

And Ms. Kim.

(Hate to Love You)

I'm not sure if you can hold up because of your health condition.

It begins now.

- What will be its name? - What about EJ Cosmetics?

Eun Jo Cosmetics.

What is this about, Ms. Jung?

You stole the information from Suk Pyo and gave it to CEO Kim.

Do you have proof?

I won't faint irresponsibly like I did the other time.

And now, I have you.

That decision basically means that CEO Kim is firing you.

There's no way he'll fire me.

Give it to us.

We share the same goal now.
