While presenting
the long-term service awards,

I also counted the number of years
that I've worked here.

I also counted the number of years
that I've worked here.

I married into Myungsoondang at 18,
and now I'm 72.

So, I've worked here for 54 years.

[guests gasp, murmur]

[guests gasp, murmur]

[Philnyun chuckles]

It's nothing to be shocked about.

Here, at Myungsoondang,

there's a baker who's been here
one year longer than I have.

Because of her, even at my age,
I can't be the most senior here.

Because of her, even at my age,

CEO LEE SUNGWOO

[Philnyun] ...is long enough for the world

-Hello?
-Over that long time,

Myungsoondang has been through...

[Hangu] That's great to hear.

I hope to see you soon. Bye.

I hope to see you soon. Bye.

[line disconnects, line ringing]

[Philnyun] However, if there's one thing
that doesn't change...

Set up two more seats at the VIP table.
For Beauté Department Store's people.

Thanks.

Thanks.

[♪ dramatic, whimsical music playing]

[Philnyun] I learned
from my late mother-in-law

the spirit of care and sharing.

[Miyeon] Hey, Jingyeong.

[Miyeon] Hey, Jingyeong.

You're getting prettier by the day.

Are you seeing anyone these days?

Gosh, no.

What a coincidence.

-Eungsoo is also single.
-Mom, stop it.

-Eungsoo is also single.
-Mom, stop it.

There's no need to look far
when the right one might be close by.

-Right?
-[Eungsoo mumbles, chuckles]

[Miyeon chuckles]
There really is no need to look far.

[Miyeon chuckles]
There really is no need to look far.

[Eungsoo] Mom, stop it.

Seriously.

[Miyeon] Okay, fine.

Yes, sir.

I think I can secure a unit
for the mayor of Yongdu soon.

I may be able to retrieve the house

Mr. Baek.

Thank you so much for coming.

Come on in.

Mr. Kim.

What's your relationship with Ms. Yoo?

What's your relationship with Ms. Yoo?

[♪ dramatic sting]

Are you two really married?

[♪ tense, dramatic music playing]

Well, the thing is...

[gulps]

[Jingyeong] Mr. Baek?

I thought it might be you.

I thought it might be you.

What brings you here?

[Jingyeong] Oh, I'm here on business.

I have something to tell you.
Do you have time now?

This is a bit urgent.

Excuse us, Wooju.

Sure.

Shall we?

[sighs in relief]

[♪ music crescendos, fades]

[♪ music crescendos, fades]

The two of them

aren't married.

Why are you looking so shocked?

You overheard everything.

[Philnyun] I was hoping to speak with you.

[Philnyun] I was hoping to speak with you.

Are you personally close to my Wooju?

[hesitates]

Yes.

[Philnyun] Team Manager Kim Wooju
is my grandson. You know that, right?

[Philnyun] Team Manager Kim Wooju
is my grandson. You know that, right?

Yes, I know.

You knew?

Well...

I know Wooju very well.

Is Mr. Kim the man...

That's right.

He's the guy I told you
I had feelings for.

He's the guy I told you
I had feelings for.

What are you going to do now?

If not married, the prize will be revoked.

If not married, the prize will be revoked.

Also, they'll have to take
legal responsibility.

[sighs softly] Is that so?

I'm left with no choice, then.

I'm left with no choice, then.

I have no choice but to reveal

what that house is going to be used for.

Coincidentally, I also heard something.

[♪ dramatic sting]

[Jingyeong] Thank you for lending me
some clothes last time.

[Jingyeong] Thank you for lending me

I'm leaving them in front of your house.

From Yoon Jingyeong.

[♪ tense, suspenseful music playing]

[Jingyeong] I had my windows open
at the time,

[Jingyeong] I had my windows open
at the time,

so the conversation
was recorded on my dash cam.

I downloaded it to my phone.

Are you blackmailing me?

I'm merely suggesting a deal.

I'm merely suggesting a deal.

I get to protect my man.

And you, Director, get to protect
whatever you need to protect.

So, let's help each other.

[sighs]

Oh, right.

What did you mean before?

Retrieving the prize?

Oh, that.

Even if you reveal their fake marriage,

Even if you reveal their fake marriage,

isn't it a bigger deal for you

if people found out about the bribe?

I was mistaken.

-What?
-I looked into it again,

and there wasn't a way.

What the heck?

Hey, do you think I have time
to listen to your crap?

Tell me only when you're sure.

My apologies, sir.

By the way, was it David?

The one who worked at the Kaltz.

Your acquaintance.

Yes.

Yes.

He's a total nutcase.

He sent a wreath bearing the hotel's name.

[Hangu] Thank you for coming.

Of course.

MANAGING DIRECTOR OF KALTZ HOTEL
David Lee

[Sungwoo] David?

Didn't he quit the hotel?

[♪ tense music playing]

[chuckles nervously] Oh, no.

You must be mistaken.

You must be mistaken.

No, I'm sure.

He said on the flight
that he quit the Kaltz Hotel.

You must've misunderstood him.

-Look into Director David Lee.
-[Juhee] Yes, ma'am.

[door closes, beeps]

Mr. Baek? Why?

I'm not sure.

He suddenly asked
if we were indeed married.

But then, Jingyeong showed up.

And I haven't heard from him since.

And I haven't heard from him since.

I wonder what that was about.

Wait.

Do Mr. Baek and Jingyeong know each other?

Apparently, they're in the same club.

Apparently, they're in the same club.

But I didn't know this until today.

We'll be okay, right?

We'll be okay.

Even if he had his doubts,
Jingyeong would've handled it well.

[sighs] I'm really being
a nuisance to Jingyeong.

[sighs] I'm really being
a nuisance to Jingyeong.

[sighs wearily] Anyway, I really wanted
to introduce you to my grandma today.

I'll set up an appointment
tomorrow at the office.

I'll set up an appointment

Oh, and we can meet
with Mr. Baek in the evening.

I'm nervous
now that I'm actually about to do this.

I'm nervous
now that I'm actually about to do this.

[chuckles softly]

We said we'd face this together.

So, don't worry.

[♪ upbeat dreamy music playing]

[♪ upbeat dreamy music playing]

[sighs]

[doorbell chimes]

What a surprise.
You didn't even call first.

When did you get back from the US?

I came back last weekend.

I came back last weekend.

After staying in Yeosu for three days,

I realized
that I don't get along with Mom.

I have to get a job in Seoul, anyway.

I have to get a job in Seoul, anyway.

So, I was thinking
about staying at your house.

I heard about the prize from Mom...

[gasps] Oh, my.

Who's this?

Oh, this is...

[in English] Just a moment.

[♪ gripping, whimsical music playing]

Hello.

[Sori in Korean] Who's that?

[Youngsook] What do you mean?

It's Wooju, Kim Wooju.

It's Wooju, Kim Wooju.

You're Kim Wooju, right?

Yes, nice to meet you.
[chuckles sheepishly]

[clears throat]

Pass.

-Pardon?
-Who are you to give him a pass?

Gosh, you.

Aren't you lucky this year?

Aren't you lucky this year?

My girl here may not be sweet,
but she is genuine.

So, please treat her well.

Cut it out.

Just be quiet.

You be quiet.

You be quiet.

Or I'll tell him all about your temper.

-[chuckles nervously]
-[Kim Wooju chuckles softly]

I'll get going now
since your sister is here.

[Sori] No, stay.

Don't worry about me
and continue what you were doing.

Don't worry about me
and continue what you were doing.

I'll quietly find myself
a spare room and sleep.

I was on my way out, anyway.
[chuckles sheepishly]

[Sori] Oh, gosh.

I don't think you were.

Right there.

Your lips are telling me the truth.

What?

[♪ enthralling orchestral music playing]

[♪ enthralling orchestral music playing]

[Kim Wooju chuckles awkwardly]

I'll get going then.

-[mouthing] You're dead.
-[Kim Wooju] Bye.

[Sori] Oh, my.

Is the air conditioning really on?

It feels a little heated in here.

It's so hot.

Geez, what's with her?

You must be flustered. I'm sorry.

Not at all, that was very cute of her.

Not at all, that was very cute of her.

But I don't think she's very keen on me.

What do you mean?

Don't worry about her.

Tell her that I'll treat her
to a good meal.

I should win some points.

Bye.

[♪ whimsical music playing]

I'll get going.

WOULD YOU MARRY ME?

[Hangu sighs]

[♪ ominous music playing]

Look into Director David Lee.

Look into Director David Lee.

[Juhee] Yes, ma'am.

[exhales deeply]

CHAIRWOMAN

[line ringing]

[line connects]

Ma'am, it's Hangu.

I have something important to tell you.

What?

The Kaltz Hotel said

The Kaltz Hotel said

they've never had a contract with us.

Nor have they ever reviewed a contract.

I think we've been deceived
by Director David Lee.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

That contract was signed long ago!

Call David now.

No, I'll go to the US myself.

I need to meet
with the CEO of Kaltz Hotel.

[gasps] Ma'am.

[gasps] Ma'am.

[breathing heavily]

[bottle, pills clatter on floor]

-[groans softly]
-Sit here.

I'll get it for you.

[♪ tense, foreboding music playing]

-Here.
-[continues breathing heavily]

[pills rattle in bottle]

[sniffles]

[continues breathing heavily]

[♪ music crescendos, fades]

[♪ music crescendos, fades]

Meeting the Kaltz Hotel people
wouldn't do any good.

Because David was fired two years ago,

they'll say
it's got nothing to do with them.

[wheezing]

Then?

Are you telling me
to just stand by and watch?

What about the plant in the US

that cost us a fortune to build?

You don't have to worry about that.

The factory built
to supply the Kaltz Hotel...

was fake.

[♪ unsettling, tense music playing]

We just rented an abandoned building
and did some simple Photoshop work.

We never purchased the land.

We never purchased the land.

It was...

all fake?

Then,

what about the money we've wired?

If you've seen Mr. Ko's report,
you should've known

that the money was siphoned off.

that the money was siphoned off.

Through J Consulting,
that money is now in my pocket.

J Consulting is my company.

J Consulting is my company.

[breath trembling]

I...

I had my doubts, but...

Then, [sniffles]

since David was introduced to us
through J Consulting,

since David was introduced to us
through J Consulting,

is the fake contract

also your doing?

That's right.

Why would you do that?

How are you going to face
Miyeon and Eungsoo?

[hums thoughtfully]
I don't think I'll need to see them again.

[laughs smugly]

You should've just given me
a section of the company.

After dumping your
pathetic daughter on me,

have you had no conscience?
[clicks tongue]

have you had no conscience?
[clicks tongue]

You only gave me a bit of inheritance,

like I'm some beggar.
[clicks tongue]

What? [wheezing]

You...

You bastard! [gasping, grunts]

You bastard! [gasping, grunts]

[Hangu] You'll lose
your consciousness soon.

Because of your chronic illness,
it'll be ruled as a natural death.

Because of your chronic illness,
it'll be ruled as a natural death.

Well, maybe it's for the best.

Rather than seeing the company

you gave your life to
get broken up and sold in pieces,

isn't it better that you go before then?

isn't it better that you go before then?

[Miyeon] Where is she?

-Which room?
-Slow down.

No one's picking up.

[angrily] Why aren't they picking up
their phone?

[Eungsoo] Seriously,
why aren't they picking up?

-[Miyeon breathing heavily]
-Slow down.

Luckily, she survived,
but she's barely responsive.

The surgery went well,

but because of her age
and chronic illness,

but because of her age
and chronic illness,

at this point,
there's very little chance she'll wake up.

Are you saying
Mom's just going to stay like this?

She'll never wake up?

When she came to the hospital,
she was already unconscious.

When she came to the hospital,

[breath trembling]

What were you doing, Ms. Kim?

Where the hell were you,
leaving Mom all alone?

What were you doing?

I'm sorry. [sniffling]

I was only out for a moment.

Calm down.

She's been ill for a while.

She's been ill for a while.

[breathing heavily]

She was fine
when I stopped by in the evening.

[Miyeon] Oh, what do we do?

What if my mom dies?

Is there no other way

than to just wait for her to wake up?

[Dr. Yoon] Our priority is to stop
additional brain hemorrhage

and to control her intracranial pressure.

If bleeding reoccurs,

If bleeding reoccurs,

she won't survive.

[Miyeon sobbing] Oh, no. Mom...

[news anchor over TV] Myungsoondang,

You know what she's like.

She would never go astray.

-[breathing heavily] Geez.
-Mom...

Shouldn't we catch this David guy first?

We should request an investigation

It's no use. [sighs]

It's still a fact

that the chairwoman obtained
the investment through a fake contract.

the investment through a fake contract.

[sighs] I should've tried harder
to stop her.

But is it actually true?

Ms. Kim said

Ms. Kim said

Grandma met with David up until recently.

Wasn't it to discuss the supply plan?

She met with him for a different reason.

She met with him for a different reason.

To ask him to keep it a secret

from the investors
that the contract was put on hold.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Hangu sighs softly]

MARKETING TEAM

[Hangu] In her first year as Chairwoman,

our operating profit was cut in half.

Revenue held steady,

Revenue held steady,

but turning all the part-timers
into full-time employees

sent labor costs through the roof.

And after losing the lawsuit
over the logistics hub,

we sank deeper into deficit.

By forging the Kaltz Hotel contract,
which was still being negotiated,

she told me
to secure the investment first.

By putting out the fire,

By putting out the fire,

I think she meant to get the contract
signed in the meantime.

[sighs]

All this time,

she's been struggling on her own.

MS. KIM

[phone vibrating]

[♪ soft jazz music playing in background]

You could've just come to my office.

I have something to tell you privately.

The chairwoman probably didn't know
that the contract with the Kaltz was fake.

What?

The day she collapsed,

she asked me to look into David.

she asked me to look into David.

[♪ soft, melancholy music playing]

[Juhee] If she knew
it was a fake contract,

why would she ask me to look into him?

She didn't even know he had been fired.

[Philnyun] It doesn't feel right.

[Philnyun] It doesn't feel right.

I'd like you to look into it
without Director Jang knowing.

Grandma.

I'm afraid.

I'm afraid that you were right.

Mr. Kim.

Did you have dinner?

[sighs wearily]
I don't have much appetite.

Anyway, what brings you by?

What do you think?

-I came to hear you sigh.
-[chuckles softly]

-I came to hear you sigh.
-[chuckles softly]

Seriously.

When things are hard,

Nonsense.

I'm serious. Try it.

Go on.

[sighs softly]

You must be really concerned.

Mmm-hmm.

You can tell me about anything.

INVESTMENT CONTRACT

Article 8, Clause 3.

Instead of paying the penalty for breach,

That's the clause you should point out.

So, the justification is
