(Ms. Incognito)

(This drama is fictional, and any resemblance

to real people or events is coincidental.)

Yeong Ran,

marry me.

If you marry me,

you'll become the lady of Gaseong Group.

Do you know what they fear most?

Death?

No, it's money.

But...

why marriage?

If I die like this now,

they'll split my assets and the company, right?

But, what if a new heir with larger shares than theirs appears?

A half-sibling like Ye Rim.

But, it's too weak.

I need a decisive blow.

My legal wife.

That's not all, right?

Right.

Ye Rim's death was 15 years ago, so there's no evidence.

So, in front of them,

I'll present a new heir with larger shares than Ye Rim.

What will they do then?

They'll act exactly like they did 15 years ago.

This time, we'll set a trap and wait.

You'll be the bait,

and we catch them for conspiracy

to murder and attempted murder.

That's my plan.

Chairman.

The world has changed a lot in 15 years.

But people never change.

A man who should've died as a factory manager

married my mother to climb higher.

You should've died with her then.

Why live and take what's ours?

Thank you for everything till now.

(Mom)

Yeong Ran, it's Mom.

Hey, you got a job, right?

Then, can you lend me 10 million won?

Hello? Hello?

Seriously, please!

I'll marry you.

(#Happiness #FollowBack #SelfieGram #SportsCar #Hobby #Drive)

(Do you want to go play golf together?)

What kind of woman is this?

What?

It's nothing. Please finish your work.

Are you having a meal?

Good morning.

Mr. Cheol Su.

This.

- Thank you. - Right!

- Mr. Cheol Su. - Huh?

I actually took a photoshoot during the holiday and uploaded it.

Just wondering if you saw it.

You took a photoshoot?

Yeah, check it out quickly.

Wow, cool.

Is it bad?

No, it's pretty.

You look totally beautiful.

Yeah.

I'll wait outside. Take your time.

Okay.

I enjoyed the meal.

But you didn't hit 'like'.

Oh, sorry. I'll like it now.

Wow, this is insane.

- Huh? - Why?

The coffee is amazing.

Did you have a good holiday, Chairman?

Same routine is best.

Chairman.

Sorry, I suddenly feel...

Can't control your own body?

Will you take responsibility if today's schedule gets ruined?

I apologize...

Yeong Ran, you drive.

Yes, Chairman.

Chairman, I'm sorry.

Yeong Ran, I'm so sorry.

I'll drive carefully.

You've arrived right on time, Chairman.

Now, shall we go in, both of you?

(Marriage Registration, Ga Sung Ho, Kim Yeong Ran)

Uh, excuse me...

I'm the witness here.

I'm the chairman's lawyer.

Um... Did you get consent from your...

Why aren't you asking me?

About parental consent?

It's not like they're 16-year-olds getting married.

Two fully mature adults marrying.

What's the issue?

Process this quickly.

Ah, yes.

Here's the contract the chairman asked me to prepare.

(Post-Marital Inheritance Conditional Contract)

This contract takes effect immediately upon the chairman's death.

Three months after Chairman passes away,

there will be a selection for Gaseong Group's new CEO.

At that meeting, Ms. Kim Yeong Ran, you must cast your decisive vote

to ensure that the Ga siblings never set foot

in Gaseong Group again.

Only once all these procedures are complete

will Chairman Ga Sung Ho's entire estate

be inherited by you, Ms. Kim Yeong Ran.

However, Chairman Ga's death must be carried out

personally by you, Ms. Kim Yeong Ran.

(When Ga Sung Ho requests it, Kim Yeong Ran will personally carry out the euthanasia.)

You mean I have to personally kill Chairman?

It's different from what was said earlier, right?

How can we trust you, Ms. Kim Yeong Ran?

Every choice comes with its price.

Do you want to spend your life wallowing in debt?

It's not too late to back out now.

Shall we pretend this never happened?

The euthanasia process will be fully recorded.

If Ms. Kim Yeong Ran fails to fulfill the contract terms,

I will personally submit the recording to the police.

In other words,

Ms. Kim Yeong Ran, you would simultaneously become Chairman's murderer,

and the inheritance would be completely void.

Do you understand?

(Party A: Ga Sung Ho, Party B: Kim Yeong Ran)

Understood.

As the attorney, I hereby notarize this entire process.

Now, let's get your photo taken.

Chairman.

(Marriage registered at Yeongsan District Office)

The groom should hold the bride's hand properly.

Like this.

Much more natural.

Now, I'll really take the shot.

Kimchi ramyeon?

You two really suit each other.

Chairman, why weren't you born 40 years later?

Attorney Lee.

Attorney Lee?

Why, Ms. Kim Yeong Ran?

Yes, Madam?

We have a factory inspection at Pyeongtan this afternoon.

We should leave now to arrive on time.

Let's go.

(Gaseong Ramyeon, Comforting Fermented Wheat Noodles)

Yum, it suits my taste,

but will it appeal overseas?

Yes, keeping the overseas market in mind,

the spiciness can be adjusted to level 2.

- There's a pleasant nutty aftertaste. - Yes.

I found where your mother is.

Money is really great, isn't it?

Oh absolutely, Madam.

My mother even named me

after money-related characters.

What should I do about your mother?

Attorney Lee,

do I need to think about that too?

You're adapting remarkably fast, Madam.

Chairman, here's your steak.

I cooked it medium-well.

Chairman, you've barely been eating lately.

Are you feeling unwell?

Would you like me to feel even more uncomfortable?

Chairman, what are you saying...

I didn't mean that.

If you don't want steak, how about some seafood?

The chairman's been particularly gloomy recently.

Aren't you on a diet?

I've already taken my photoshoot.

And Yang Cheol Su keeps liking some half-naked woman's SNS posts.

Mr. Yang Cheol Su doesn't like half-naked women.

What do you mean by that?

Mr. Yang Cheol Su likes rich women.

What do you mean, friend?

Women with, like, around 100 million won?

Well, he might like a woman like that.

- Cheol Su. - Yeah, why?

Did I mention?

Mention what?

This winter, I'll cash out my savings.

About 100 million won.

Oh.

Why are you telling me that?

Just...

Thinking of having ramyeon for dinner?

- Yeah. - Ugh.

I do love ramyeon too, you know?

Want to share some?

Great idea.

By the way, when did you save all that?

Just little by little.

(Muchang County) You'll stay here for three months.

Muchang?

Yes. No train station, four hours by car.

It's a very peaceful place.

It's the kind of town where you even know how many spoons the neighbor has.

Is there really a need to go all the way to Muchang?

You risked your life for money too. Do you think others are any different?

If the siblings

find out you're the heir,

they'll come after you just like 15 years ago.

It's a good place to hide from those chasing you.

And if they send a hitman,

it's perfect for setting a trap.

What are they doing inside?

What is this?

It's a resume.

(Resume)

Bu Se Mi.

Iseon Women's University, Early Childhood Education majored.

I chose the least suspicious and harmless cover as a kindergarten teacher.

Coincidentally, my sister runs a kindergarten in Muchang.

Since she's so kind-hearted...

She won't die easily.

Oh my goodness.

Butler Choi.

Chairman.

I was just cleaning the door.

I'll pay more than Seon Yeong,

so could you stop fussing over the food now?

Well...

How much more will you give me?

Spend as much as you want.

Thank you, Chairman.

See?

In this place, money can buy anything.

Yesterday's ally becomes today's enemy

and Seoul, especially this house, is the most dangerous.

I'll go to Muchang.

Don't you dare die before the shareholders' meeting in three months, Madam.

This batch of strawberries is the sweetest. Enjoy!

I'll see you in two weeks.

I was wondering when you'd come.

There's one thing I'm curious about.

Why do these Muchang strawberries taste so exceptionally good?

Oh, well...

Speak comfortably.

Ah, yes.

For the strawberries to grow well,

the weather can't be too hot or too cold all year round.

The soil is rich, and there's plenty of water.

Muchang is just the perfect place for that.

What a wonderful place.

How long does it take to get here from Muchang?

About four hours by car.

Excuse me, Chairman.

May I ask just one thing?

Yes.

How do you like our strawberries?

I'm not a charity worker.

I ate them because they're good. That's all.

Oh, why's Chairman out in the garden?

Madam, you know that there are main characters in novels, right?

He's just... one of the others.

Not a lead, not even a supporting role.

Not curious.

Oh, you really aren't curious, huh?

- See you again. - Yes.

These strawberries are delicious. Have some.

Yes, Chairman.

Hello?

Chairman!

Chairman!

Chairman.

Chairman!

Chairman, are you okay?

Be quiet.

Chairman.

Chairman.

Chairman, if we use morphine, we won't be able to hide it anymore.

Dr... Dr. Kim.

Chairman.

You should prepare yourself mentally.

Your condition has worsened.

You likely won't last more than three months now.

You'll need morphine more frequently now.

She's pretty?

Not me.

Having an affair with your hospital nurse? How predictable.

Even your mother, if you think about it, remarried her company's factory manager.

How dare you compare yourself to my mom?

Go on, say it.

Yes, Professor.

They'd been cleverly hiding it on the chart, but it was morphine.

Since morphine is a controlled drug,

it's legally restricted to terminal cancer patients.

They can't hide it anymore.

Terminal cancer?

How much time does my father have left?

Usually, with morphine treatment,

it's no more than three months.

It means the pain is going to be unbearable.

He hid all this to keep his children from worrying.

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

I'll transfer your payment to your account.

About the medical article you wrote last time.

'Miracles can happen even for terminal cancer patients.'

Could I possibly get that renowned doctor's contact information?

My father...

has terminal cancer.

Yes.

Please get me that contact quickly.

Thank you.

Bravo!

My sister really is a theater and film professor.

Your acting.

Am I really becoming the chairman of Gaseong Group?

Finally, we're reclaiming the inheritance left by Mom,

after 28 years.

Yes!

Where are you going?

I need to go home.

Yeong Ran.

Let's carry out

my euthanasia tonight.

What?

You saw it too.

That pain...

I never want to experience that again.

I've already asked Dr. Kim.

You just need to bring it.

Only give this to Chairman when he's struggling.

Ah, come in.

Put that down for now.

Go check if Butler Choi has finished preparing the ramyeon.

I want ramyeon for my last meal.

It's my plan, so you have to be there for the very last part too.

Keep an eye on Butler Choi and make sure she's not up to anything.

You're going to make me eat the soggy last ramyeon?

Understood.

I'll be right back.

The Chairman is asking if the ramyeon's ready.

Huh?

One minute left. Wait a moment longer.

The chairman insisted it be cooked exactly according to the recipe.

Alright.

Ye Rim.

We'll meet again soon.

Cooked for 5 minutes exactly according to the recipe. Perfect.

Chairman.

Chairman!

Chairman!

What's happening?

Too many eyes watching.

What?

- Attorney Lee... - What's the matter?

Attorney.

Why did the chairman change the plan?

Hard to say.

It seems the Chairman truly believed you would succeed, Ms. Kim Yeong Ran.

According to the police investigation,

Chairman Ga was confirmed to have taken his own life

after becoming despondent following a terminal diagnosis.

(Despair leads to extreme act at residence) The sudden news of his death...

Ugh, Father's going to

leave us like that...

Father?

I rehearsed this.

I'm technically the chief mourner.

Here you are.

You're here.

The paternal mourning station is to your left.

Thank you.

The family must be enduring immense grief.

I have no words.

Attorney Lee, the shareholders' meeting is in three months, right?

This family adapts remarkably fast to circumstances.

What's done is done.

Yes, three months from now.

At that meeting, you'll elect the chairman to lead the entire Gaseong Group.

For Seon Woo to become chairman, we need to resolve Chairman Ga Sung Ho's stock inheritance.

That should happen before the general meeting, right?

Well, but there's been one change in the will.

What?

Here they are.

Just give us one statement.

How do you feel?

We ask for a brief comment.

(Pray for the repose of Chairman Ga Sung Ho)

Even until the very end, the deceased...

(We will forever cherish his grand vision and warm heart)

What's that?

Sorry for the late introduction.

That lady over there, our Ms. Kim Yeong Ran.

Hey.

Isn't that the bodyguard from back then?

No more 'hey', 'you', or 'that person'.

Then what?

One month ago, Ms. Kim Yeong Ran over there

filed marriage registration documents with Chairman Ga Sung Ho.

Oh my God.

My father...

Unbelievable, huh?

Wait, what's that on your finger?

Isn't that Mom's ring?

Why are you wearing that ring?

Take it off.

Take off the ring. Can't you hear me?

This is a funeral home.

- Let go! - Chairman is watching.

What can a dead person see?

Hey, take that ring off now! I said take it off!

Do you know what kind of ring that is?

Ga Seon Woo!

Attorney Lee.

What did he just say earlier?

Marriage registration?

With you?

Didn't you hear?

Attorney Lee said that.

From now on, I'm not longer 'you, ' 'that, ' 'this, ' or 'that'.

Then, if you're not 'this' or 'that, '

what are you?

From now on, I'm your mother.

Excuse me, coming through.

One moment, please. Sorry.

Ugh, Chairman Ga is so tacky.

Even in death, he's messing with us, huh?

(We will forever cherish his grand vision and warm heart)

Oh my God, I'm going crazy here, seriously.

Sis, are we really just going to sit still like this?

We need to think of a way.

We can't let that bodyguard take everything from us.

Let's figure out a plan.

Sis, answer me already. This is seriously...

I'll never give her money like that.

(We will forever cherish his grand vision and warm heart)

Madam, you must have been through a lot.

Friend...

Madam, are you okay?

They say couples grow alike.

You scared me!

No.

You startled me, Madam.

Madam, you were surprised, right?

Ask whatever you want to ask.

Friend.

Did you really marry the chairman?

Yes.

When did you two do that?

When everyone was asleep.

No way, at night?

Usually after 11 p.m., once the bell rings.

Then

did you kiss the chairman too?

We're a married couple.

Insane.

I misspoke. Sorry.

Wait, why have you been using informal speech with me this whole time?

Ms. Baek Hye Ji.

Yes?

You're a year younger than me, born in '98?

- That's... - What?

Madam, would you like to continue using your bedroom as is?

We have guest rooms too.

Or should I prepare another room?

It's fine.

Are you truly okay with that?

Yes.

Thank you.

Ugh, I don't know.

You know Pungsan Paper, right?

It's a small company compared to Gaseong Group, but a similar uproar happened there.

She seduced the Chairman at a hotel health club

and even registered their marriage without the family knowing.

If the marriage registration is complete, legally there's no problem.

So?

There's nothing we can do?

At this point, we can pursue a reserved portion lawsuit,

but making this public to the masses...

Hey!

Whose money was that originally?

It was originally my mother's.

That means it was originally ours!

I know, I get it.

But even if we convert that wealth to current values,

Chairman Ga Sung Ho's assets

after Madam passed away are far greater.

Watch the situation carefully and mind your words.

Attorney Kim.

Yes.

Darn it.

Instead of billing for fees and medical costs

and making excuses, use your head.

Okay?

Come on!

Let's get this right.

Professor.

You want Madam to be stuck in this house?

The funeral procession is tomorrow.

Who's Madam?

Ah, sorry, Professor.

You mean keep Kim Yeong Ran

from taking a single step out of this house, right?

But how do we stop someone with legs?

Ah, yes.

Wait, does that mean we'll get something too?

Yes, Professor.

Thank you, yes.

- Cheol Su. - Yes?

You're on SNS now? Hurry up and follow me!

Ah, why?

Hurry up!

What's wrong?

Why are you doing this to me?

Cheol Su, Cheol Su, Cheol Su.

What now?

I think I'm about to get 100 million won.

100 million won?

From where?

The professor wants us to keep Yeong Ran detained for a week.

But how?

I'll handle the brains, you handle the muscle. Got it?

Got it.

Wake up early tomorrow morning.

Ugh, okay.

Hey, friend!

Madam!

Butler Choi and Yang Cheol Su are trying to keep you detained.

How do you know that?

Me?

I eavesdropped in the living room.

They said Ga Seon Yeong will give them 100 million if they hold you.

Oh my, that's...

Isn't that club a bit too much?

Come on, Yeong Ran has trained in Taekwondo and Hapkido with several dan ranks,

and yet this still seems insufficient.

Right.

(Gold-digger)

Yes, Madam.

I brewed some really good coffee for you.

I prepared it for you to drink before the funeral procession.

Understood.

Okay.

Madam.

This is my favorite Costa Rica coffee.

Butler Choi?

Yes?

What did you put in the coffee?

Oh, jeez.

Madam, it hurts. It hurts.

Just go, just go...

Hey, chase after her!

Ah, my leg...

Can't even handle a mere woman?

You let her go?

'A mere woman' my foot!

Didn't you see earlier? Ah, my leg!

Ugh, are you even a man?

- Where's the key? - What key?

The car key! We need to chase her.

It's 100 million! 100 million won!

The chairman must've hidden an emergency key somewhere. Wait.

The car key's here.

- Huh? - Oh, Hye Ji.

Huh?

Wait, why would you...

Hey, no.

Hey!

- Stop it, seriously! - Hey!

Professor, Butler Choi lost her.

She's heading to Incheon Airport now.

Trying to flee overseas?

- Go check. - Understood.

(Attorney Lee Don)

Madam, why aren't you coming?

Attorney Lee, we need to adjust our plan.

Ga Seon Yeong is moving faster than we anticipated.

Let's do that.

(International Departures)

(Under Repair)

Find her.

- Find her. - Yes.

Excuse me.

- Who are you? - Oh!

Sorry.

- What? - Are you okay?

Yes.

From now on, Madam, you are not Kim Yeong Ran,

but Bu Se Mi the teacher.

You'll live under the name Bu Se Mi for exactly three months.

Use only the ID and cards issued under Bu Se Mi.

(Bu Se Mi) Madam.

Just a word of caution.

When you go to Muchang, don't get lonely and start seeing men.

Most women's lives get messed up because of men.

I have no romance in my life.

(Hachang Bus Terminal)

(Seoul - Hachang)

(Taxi)

(Ticket Booth)

Ms. Bu Se Mi.

My cousin will come pick you up.

Lee Mi Seon, Principal of Muchang Iseon Kindergarten.

Why is it raining so hard?

(Straight from farm, nationwide delivery)

Muchang Strawberries?

(Muchang Strawberries)

Uh, are you by any chance Ms. Bu Se Mi?

Why is a guy who's not even a supporting character here?

Excuse me. You're Ms. Bu Se Mi, aren't you?

Wait a second.

Excuse me, by any chance...

Yes, that's right. I'm Bu Se Mi.

(Iseon Kindergarten) Why did you come all the way to Muchang?

Wow.

We should file a missing person report.

Our mother left home.

You must really miss her.

So much that it makes you want to kill.

Do a proper background check.

We live in an age of fake diplomas and fabricated careers.

Contact her previous workplace to check for incidents.

Where is Madam really?

Looks like we've got the framework.

Do I have to kill that person?

Dementia, criminal record, gaslighting, assisted suicide...

You need to survive.
