THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL, AND ANY RESEMBLANCE

TO REAL PEOPLE OR EVENTS IS COINCIDENTAL

EPISODE 3

My money, my choice!

MUCHANG SILVER TOWN OFFERS THE BEST FACILITIES!

Come on, why object when I'm using my own money

to develop my own land and build my own building?

This is exactly the kind of thing

that blocks Muchang's growth and development...

Muchang strawberries are here!

Korea's most delicious strawberries from Muchang.

MUCHANG STRAWBERRIES

Hey, Jeon Dong Min. Will you turn that off?

You turn it off.

This is right in front of a kindergarten.

The kids are about to start class.

You know this is clearly disrupting their lesson, right?

Whatever.

And seriously, how many students does this kindergarten even have?

Stop getting in my way.

Sorry about that, I'll continue.

Our respected citizens of Muchang,

during all this time...

Oh, Jeong Woo! Perfect timing!

Perfect timing? I came because someone reported this, pal.

That punk Jeon Dong Min hit me.

I just aimed a kick at the megaphone.

No, I actually got hit!

Arrest him.

What are you waiting for?

Arrest him for what?

Using a megaphone in front of a kindergarten was also your fault.

Huh?

But there aren't any kids

or teachers here today.

It's basically a done deal that the kindergarten's closing.

Seriously, are you guys for real?

We'll just pass through.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Hello. - Strawberry class kids.

- What happens if you fight? - It's bad!

What was that? Louder! What happens if you fight?

- It's bad. - It's bad.

Exactly.

Principal, can we talk for a moment?

There are only nine kids here and no homeroom teacher, right?

Everyone, please wait just a moment.

Yes, yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

This teacher will be arriving shortly.

Can you see her?

Dong Min, I need to teach the kids. You go meet her instead.

Oh my, she'll be here any minute now.

Go on.

Iseon Women's University?

Is this the teacher who's coming?

Yes.

Is this some kind of job scam?

Why would someone from Iseon Women's University come to Muchang?

Don introduced her. That means she's reliable.

I'm counting on you.

I'll be watching.

See?

Hey! Jeon Dong Min, where are you going?

Hey! You broke my megaphone. Where are you going?

Anyway, those gym rats are hopeless.

Brains are useless but the body's...

pretty great.

Hey, hey.

No, I didn't mean it badly. I meant you have a great physique...

Here's for the megaphone, okay?

I bought it for 5,000 won secondhand.

- Let's go, follow me. - Huh?

Where are we going?

We need to catch that punk Jeon Dong Min!

Why's it suddenly raining?

STRAIGHT FROM FARM, NATIONWIDE DELIVERY

Uh, excuse me...

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

Madam, that guy is just an extra.

Not a lead, not even a supporting role.

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

Are you Ms. Bu Se Mi?

Wait a minute...

Excuse me, by any chance...

Yes, that's right.

I'm Bu Se Mi.

Ah, yes.

The principal of Iseon Kindergarten sent me.

Let's go.

- Oh, let me carry that. - No.

No, I don't like anyone touching my things.

It's really pouring.

MUCHANG STRAWBERRIES

The weather's been so unpredictable lately.

Excuse me, Miss.

Why are you wearing sunglasses?

I'm very sensitive to UV rays.

UV rays stay strong even on cloudy days.

Ah, I see.

But hey,

have we really never met before?

Not that I know of.

Have you maybe seen me somewhere?

'You're a Solo'.

Oh, no.

Well...

You were on 'Couples to Hell', yes?

Am I wrong?

I just made a joke because it felt awkward.

Let's just drive quietly.

Okay.

Didn't Chairman Ga look like he has dementia?

Dementia?

Any hospital records?

No records, but could we bribe someone who worked in that house?

In court, witnesses are critical in cases like this.

Seon Yeong, what about Butler Choi?

And that strange caretaker?

Start the lawsuit.

We'll aim for annulment of the marriage due to dementia.

Attorney Kim, that's too predictable and weak.

Ah, you're right.

By the way, Professor. Kim Yeong Ran has a criminal record.

She was sent to juvenile detention for stealing sanitary pads as a child.

Use that against her.

A repeat offender who's been in and out of juvenile for theft since minor years.

Her mother too shuffled through prisons for petty fraud.

A young woman with criminal records marries a trillion-won conglomerate chairman

and lives as his wife for a month.

Yet the man transferred enormous assets to her

as if he knew he was going to die.

- Attorney Kim. - Yes?

Looks like we've got the framework.

How about gaslighting?

Brilliant, Professor.

An elderly man with dementia manipulated by a female bodyguard into marriage

and handing over his fortune.

- And... - She gaslit Chairman Ga Sung Ho

to the point of driving him to death.

The widow, inheriting great wealth,

disappeared after the funeral.

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

Those four keywords should get the public's attention.

We'll push that narrative in the media and immediately file for annulment.

These days,

even the courts can't ignore public opinion.

Any record of Kim Yeong Ran leaving the country?

We checked, but no immigration records.

We're securing airport CCTV footage.

Let me get that for you.

No, I'm fine.

Right this way, please.

The principal urgently requested living quarters,

so we cleared out our storage shed.

It's really far from Seoul to Muchang, right?

Yes.

But, how did you hear about and apply to Muchang Kindergarten?

Muchang strawberries are famous, right?

Are they?

People eating them rarely check origins.

I pay attention to those details.

Honestly, you didn't come for strawberries, right?

Do you have relatives here?

Must I answer every such question?

No, no need.

I heard you worked at Iseon Kindergarten.

Can teachers be transferred mid-term?

Yes, that's possible.

Oh, I teach part-time PE at Muchang Kindergarten too.

My son attends there as well.

Let me show you the shed.

When you look at it,

you'll see I personally took care of every little detail.

You built all this yourself?

Well, pretty much built it myself.

Come take a look.

- Inside you'll see... - Excuse me.

I get the picture.

But

could you stop paying so much attention to me?

Totally rude.

He can't possibly have recognized me, right?

Annoah.

That teacher's pretty weird, right?

Right? You think so too, huh?

Let's keep a close eye on her, okay?

What's with the vibe here today?

Annoah, how is it? Can you see?

Jeez.

They say dogs see ghosts, but maybe our Annoah can't see them.

BITES ONCE: 'ANNOAH'

These days with the recession,

a lot of people even get spirit-invoking rituals on purpose.

Aren't you doing it because you don't want to go to work?

Hey, I wanna do that too.

Oh right.

Where's the new teacher?

There she is.

What's she like?

Rejects help when offered.

Quite independent.

She asked me if I'd ever seen her somewhere before.

Is she an influencer or something?

Ah, no way.

'No way'.

Oh, right, didn't you once deliver strawberries

to the ramyeon chairman's place?

I did.

Hey, then check this article.

FEMALE BODYGUARD 40 YEARS YOUNGER

MARRIES LATE CHAIRMAN GA SUNG HO, WHO IS SHE REALLY?

Then, do you know that bodyguard who married the chairman?

Have you seen her?

Have I?

CHAIRMAN GA SUNG HO'S PISTOL SUICIDE, HIDDEN TRUTH

Check it out carefully.

CHOKING AND PUNCHING! KINDERGARTEN TEACHER'S RECKLESS VIOLENCE

What is this?

She's clearly a nasty woman, right?

She's bad.

Nasty?

People who hurt others like this should be thrown in jail,

cut off from society, and don't even feed them prison meals.

Don't even feed them prison meals.

Seriously.

I'm so pissed. I'll make pancakes.

Pancakes, huh?

I'm so angry. I'll drink makgeolli too.

Did he recognize me or what?

If people find out you married me,

the whole world will point fingers and condemn you mercilessly.

Living a life like mine, I've heard almost every insult out there.

The gun

renders everything powerless.

Even with your 3rd-degree taekwondo and hapkido black belt,

it means nothing against this.

If a hitman comes,

are you telling me to protect myself with that gun?

No.

About Ye Rim's killer,

my only way to punish them

is through you.

There's no guarantee the same person will come, right?

No guarantee,

but there are people who don't change.

Should I kill that person, Chairman?

One of you two

needs to survive.

I want that survivor to be you.

Murder carries at least a five-year sentence.

If I kill someone and serve five years...

I don't want to stay longer than that.

You can make that happen with money, right?

What can't money fix?

If I behave as a model prisoner and get parole,

I'd be in my mid-thirties when I get out.

I want to start a new somewhere unknown then.

Okay.

Even if you restart then,

it won't be too late.

Five years is fair compensation.

If I survive.

I'm hungry.

So I combed through social media for our influencer.

But I couldn't find the name 'Bu Se Mi'.

It's just because she's not a popular influencer.

It's obvious now that she's like a guy-version Tae Min.

Darn it.

It's too quiet.

I wonder what she's doing.

- Seo Tae Min. - Yeah?

I know you're being nice, but,

people reveal themselves over time, you punk.

So, you were dating for that long and then boom, you had a kid?

We were together long enough.

But you know,

you can't really know a person completely.

Oh, spirit, you came for pancakes too?

Ugh.

Stop that. It's creepy.

Pancakes. Pancakes.

- You serve. - Bring the pancake to her quickly.

You go and tell her.

Miss!

You make pancakes?

Huh?

Can you cook pancakes?

No, I'm not good at cooking them.

You know I get tongue-tied around women. Why would you make me talk to her?

Where's she heading this evening? I heard it's her first time in Muchang.

We have an emergency meeting regarding the new teacher.

Come to Muchang Supermarket by 8 PM.

Just keep an eye on that person for three months,

and we'll make them permanent after three months.

You said you're a lawyer, right?

Yes, that's right.

Looks like something good happened to Yeong Ran?

Actually, Kim Yeong Ran won the lottery.

First prize.

What? Oh my!

- Keep it down. - Oh.

Sorry about that.

That's amazing.

So, my job is

just to watch that person closely, right?

Yes, exactly.

You startled me.

Come in, come in.

PRIVATE INVESTIGATION

Are you looking for her?

Yes.

What should we do if we find her?

Kill her.

How much money do you need?

A single bill should do, right?

Sir.

Do you enjoy crime movies or dramas?

What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?

You look perfectly normal.

But you're so clueless about how the world works.

There's nowhere in Korea without CCTV nowadays.

If we kill someone, we'll get caught immediately.

This

is our specialty.

WE HANDLE ANY TASK

If you're not owed money or missing someone, just leave.

If you keep asking to kill someone

over a measly 100 million won,

I'll report you to the police.

Report?

Darn it, I made time to come here, hey.

Then, who's gonna kill her, huh?

Hold on.

If you find her, you can hook us up with someone to kill her, can't you?

Well, sure.

I do know people who handle that sort of thing.

But not us.

First find her, then plan the next step.

Please find this woman.

Her mother too.

Seems like someone you really want to find.

I miss her

so much that I could kill her.

So if you want money, find her quickly.

Looks like you're loaded.

The strawberry farmhouse is quite far from the village.

There aren't many streetlights either.

Someone could be killed there, and no one would notice.

Okay.

MUCHANG SUPERMARKET, LOTTERY 1ST PRIZE WINNER

Now, just say it straight.

Our Ju Won started kindergarten at five and by the time he turned seven,

five different teachers had come and gone, right?

- Yes. - Correct.

But they all vanished without saying goodbye, right?

- Exactly. - That's right.

Three of them

stole supplies, embezzled snack funds,

and had affairs.

- Never pegged them for that. - Shocking.

The other two made promises.

They told the kids, 'I'll stay till graduation, promise.'

3 million won.

Thank you.

They took the money Seong Tae handed them,

couldn't even last three months, then quit and ran off.

- Right. - Exactly.

So, the kids cried and were a mess, right?

- Absolutely. - Yeah.

I hate seeing the kids get hurt.

Me too.

Dong Min, I get how you feel.

But without a teacher, the kindergarten would have to close.

Yeah, maybe this time will be different.

Still, throwing a welcome party might be too much.

But we can't just do nothing for a newcomer...

Did you see the news today?

A kindergarten teacher hitting kids was the headline.

Really?

- What? - How could it be?

Never judge a book by its cover.

Raising kids is no joke.

Haven't seen her before.

It's her! It's the teacher!

- The teacher's here! - Get her a drink!

We should've prepared something!

Oh my, what now?

Oh, no.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Where's the ramyeon?

Over there.

Miss, you haven't eaten dinner, have you?

There's nothing to eat at home.

Meals are included in the rent.

Why mention that now?

Earlier, you told me to shut up.

It's late tonight. I'll have ramyeon.

Wait, you're not giving her food?

Should I... carry it?

- Pardon? - Should I bring it in for you?

No, it's fine. I'll take it.

Take care.

Goodbye.

Go ahead.

MUCHANG SUPERMARKET, 881ST LOTTERY 1ST PRIZE WINNER

- She left. - Hey, you...

You're just...

Did you all see that?

She doesn't seem like a kindergarten teacher at all.

We need to watch her closely. Seriously.

Look, aside from just watching,

you need to feed her, right?

You go with her too, Dong Min.

- Go now! - No...

- Go quickly. - Wait a second.

Go now.

No, I said let's talk.

You need to feed her, alright?

- Go feed her now. - Go quickly.

Follow her back.

- Go. - After her.

Let's go in.

Miss, I'm heading home too.

Don't be suspicious.

That extra

sure talks a lot.

If we can't find a teacher this time either,

Muchang Kindergarten itself will shut down next year.

Then, our kids will have to ride

the shuttle bus for over an hour to get out.

Our jobs will disappear too.

Exactly.

Plus, she's a teacher from Iseon Women's University.

It's a golden chance for our kids to get Seoul-level quality education.

- Right, a golden chance. - Exactly.

We're all on the same page, right?

- Obviously. - Of course.

Until our kids graduate,

we have to somehow keep that teacher

at Iseon Muchang Kindergarten.

- Keep her! - Yes.

But how do we keep her?

If Seong Tae uses cash bribes, we honestly have no alternatives.

What if we do something for her?

Like cooking meals.

Speaking from my experience living in Seoul,

Seoul people tend to be wary if someone is overly kind for no reason.

First, you have to subtly take care of her,

pretending not to notice.

Absolutely without her knowing. Never make her feel burdened.

Just casually.

Wait, why didn't Dongwaru come?

- Dongwaru? - He never misses these meetings.

- Busy? - Strange.

EX-CHEF AT SEOUL SHINSUNG HOTEL, DONGWARU

It's past 8:30. Do we still need to go to the supermarket?

I heard this teacher came from Iseon Kindergarten in Seoul.

Lives in Gangnam, rich parents.

No idea why someone so loaded would come down here.

Seriously, we're not going to get caught, right?

My heart's pounding.

Should we change the sign?

I spent three months just peeling onions in the Shinsung Hotel kitchen.

She's supposedly a rich girl.

She must've been to Shinsung Hotel.

One taste, and she'd recognize it.

Se A, our youngest, is in her class, right?

We can't avoid her. What do we do?

Honey, don't worry.

Last time, other teachers

all ran away within three months.

True.

Let's endure a bit longer.

That woman won't last in Muchang either.

Until then, Ms. Bu Su Mi

isn't allowed in our Dongwaru!

Not allowed!

Okay.

Clever.

Let me.

What are you doing right now?

I'm just apologizing for not taking care of your meals.

Is that really all?

Then, should there be anything more?

Do you always reject kindness like this?

Kindness is only kind if the receiver feels it as such.

Jeez.

From now on, breakfast will be at 8 and dinner at 7.

If you have time, come and eat together.

I'll handle that myself.

This isn't kindness. It's what your money paid for.

You don't have any food restrictions, right?

Rice mixed with beans.

Bean rice.

Wow, seriously.

Seriously what?

First adult I've seen who can't eat bean rice.

Ugh.

Don't even ask.

MUCHANG GOLD MEDALIST DROPS OUT OF NATIONAL TEAM

He will be your landlord, Madam.

He's actually my cousin,

but honestly stay away from him.

It's better for you.

Why?

You know the 'crazy dog, ' right?

When Jeon Dong Min snaps,

no one in Muchang dares cross him.

I don't think he's that crazy, though.

- Shh. - Shh.

Teacher?

Teacher?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I'm Ms. Bu Se Mi.

But who are you?

Dad told me not to give my heart easily to the new teacher.

What's that supposed to mean?

I don't know either.

Jeon Ju Won!

Ms. Bu Se Mi!

Sorry, I'll just come in for a moment.

Jeon Ju Won hiding inside the tent.

And why are you hiding there, Miss?

Jeon Ju Won.

Who told you to sneak into the teacher's cabin?

This used to be my hideout.

But now it's where I live.

This was his hideout when it was empty.

He won't do it again.

Dad, I heard her stomach growl about three times earlier.

It was just once, not three times.

Let's go.

If you come here again, you'll get scolded.

Make sure to have dinner.

Uh, I...

Yes.

Well...

I just... couldn't buy the kimchi.

Could I ask for some kimchi?

Miss, I'll bring you some.

Hey, if you put on your shoes there...

I'll bring it to you.

Jeon Ju Won, come with me.

Dad told me not to give my heart easily to the new teacher.

I don't plan to give it either.

CCTV INSTALLATION

CCTV INSTALLATION

- Now, leave. - Wait a second.

- Wait, just... - Why?

Open it up.

This is trespassing.

Attorney Lee, why should we leave?

- Hey. - What?

Uh, this... It's that.

This is wrongful termination.

Yes, wrongful termination.

Wrongful termination?

Isn't it?

Wrongful termination.

A deal?

Wrongful termination means an employer can't fire someone without just cause.

The key here is 'just cause.'

Let's set aside legal terms and speak plainly.

Butler Choi and Mr. Yang Cheol Su.

- Yes. - Right here.

Who are your employers?

Cheol Su! Chairman Ga Sung Ho!

- Wrong! - Kim Yeong Ran! Madam!

Correct answer.

- I was about to say that... - Hey.

This isn't the time to celebrate.

After Chairman Ga Sung Ho passed away,

Ms. Kim Yeong Ran naturally became the owner.

Meaning your employer is Ms. Kim Yeong Ran.

But you two,

do you both realize what you've done to your employer?

No, that's...

Since the previous owner suddenly passed away,

- the handover... - The handover

wasn't properly done, so we made a mistake.

'A dog that's bitten once tends to bite again.'

Attorney Lee, calling me a dog? That's Cheol Su.

Oh, are you talking to me?

You called me a dog?

Attorney Lee, I won't bite again.

Wait, I'll pull out my fangs.

I've added some severance pay.

- Take this at least. - Thank you.

Wait.

Butler.

Yang Cheol Su.

Listen carefully from now on.

I listened to you and ended up like this.

Ah, our Hye Ji.

Hye Ji said she has 100 million in savings.

I know who we should turn to.

Who is that?

Who else?

The professor.

She must have a plan.

Wait, wait. Wait for me.

Only my back hurts.

Wow, chicken.

I'll stay here until Madam returns.

Act like you're invisible, Ms. Baek Hye Ji.

Attorney Lee, have you eaten?

Didn't I tell you?

'Leave the cooking to the chef, and the chicken to the chicken shop.'

Don't want homemade food?

This isn't my home.

Ah, one more thing,

stay out of the main house except during meals, Ms. Baek Hye Ji.

Alright.

Attorney, you know, um...

Where exactly is Madam?

Why should I have to explain that to you, Ms. Baek Hye Ji?

Because Madam and I are friends. You little troublemaker.

Have you heard from Professor Ga Seon Yeong?

No.

If Professor Ga approaches you even once, tell me immediately, Ms. Baek Hye Ji.

Okay.

Yes... Why do I have to tell you?

Listen to people until the end.

Hmph.

Muchang must be peaceful, right?

Dong Min, did you talk with the teacher yesterday?

Does she prefer spicy red ramyeon? Or mild?

Don't know.

Do you think she likes soju? Or beer?

Wait, she probably prefers wine. Right?

No idea.

Ugh, you two barely talked.

No progress at all.

She hates bean rice. Bean rice!

Whoa, how'd you figure that out? Impressive.

Did things already move forward?

Jeez. What could a single guy like you even know?

We even changed the strawberry variety using the agricultural loan.

Why are the seedlings so wilted?

Hey, guys.

You need to grow big and strong.

So Ju Won can go to cram school and learn piano. Right?

Don't you agree?

Don't worry, Uncle Dong Min. We'll strike it rich.

Another new spirit.

Hey, I'll go wake Ju Won, okay?

Seriously.

But,

strawberries won't make us rich.

They're sweet! Sweet.

Uncle Dong Min's an idiot.

When did you get here?

Oh, hi.

- Hello, Ju Won. - There you go.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Jeon Ju Won, listen to your teacher.

- Okay. - We're late.

See you.

Ms. Bu Se Mi.

This is Lee Mi Seon, Principal of Iseon Kindergarten.

I've been preoccupied with the academic conference.

Due to kindergarten circumstances, we need you to start teaching immediately.

Please arrive by 8:30 AM.

Dong Min. Dong Min.

- Yes? - How is she?

Don sent her all the way to the kindergarten.

I feel like he's subtly trying to introduce her to me.

Introduce her?

He wants me to vet her as his potential match.

Top education, good family background. Perfect for Don, right?

Then do a thorough background check, sis.

People fake degrees and careers these days, right?

Check her past workplaces for any incidents.

Dong Min.

You don't know who I am?

Lee Mi Seon.

Already verified everything.

I'm heading to work first.

Hello, children.

I'm Ms. Bu Se Mi.

Hello, children.

I'm Ms. Bu Se Mi.

Okay.

Yes.

I'd like to inquire about installing CCTV.

Can it be done today?

Money isn't an issue.

Hey, is this Kim Yeong Ran?

Yes, correct.

We verified multiple times through airport CCTV footage.

Then, where is she now?

We're tracking her.

Seoul's CCTV isn't accessible to everyone.

It's challenging to trace her.

Wow, unbelievable.

What is she doing in the meantime?

Professor, Lee Don changed the will's release date to the shareholders' meeting.

All heirs must attend.

We need to obtain it before then.

I already checked all bank VIP vaults.

No traces under the chairman's name, Lee Don's, or anyone else's.

Ga Sung Ho trusts no one.

He probably kept it at home.

Contact Prosecutor Kim.

Pin any charge on Lee Don to drag him out of his house.

Yes, Professor.

I love these photos. Send me the best ones.

We should file a missing person report.

Mom left home.

Should her children just stay silent?

ENROLLMENT OPEN YEAR-ROUND AT MUCHANG ISEON KINDERGARTEN

SECURITY CCTV IN OPERATION

ISEON KINDERGARTEN

RESUME

You've done a lot of volunteer work abroad?

Both my parents were active volunteers.

I think I inherited that from them.

Exactly. Family background matters.

But with credentials like yours, Ms. Bu Se Mi,

you could've easily gotten into

Iseon Women's University Affiliated Kindergarten.

Ah...

Why did you come all the way to Muchang?

I'm about to

tell you the reason now.

Since childhood, I followed my professor father

living abroad at times.

During college breaks, I volunteered in Africa

and realized education's crucial importance.

Then I heard about

a principal in Muchang embodying Iseon's spirit.

I desperately wanted to teach children here.

You're exactly the teacher we've been waiting for.

And arriving just before orientation,

we're so fortunate to have someone like you, Ms. Bu Se Mi.

Shall we see the classrooms now?

The children will arrive by shuttle soon.

You can leave your bag here.

Muchang is a safe place.

This way.

Our Muchang Iseon Kindergarten

is the most prestigious in the area.

Many children commute from far away.

Aren't they adorable?

Principal! Where are you?

Come out and talk to me.

Oh my, what's going on this morning?

Miss, the Strawberry Class is at the far end.

Please go ahead first.

What's this?

How many times have I said I won't renew the contract next year...

Please calm down.

Wait in the Apple Class.

Go inside. To the Apple Class.

Go in.

Go in.

The owner of this land is nearing the end of his life.

And his kids promised to sell me this land.

I'll pay the full deposit tomorrow.

I'm going to bulldoze this garden and playground

and build a nursing home.

Seong Tae.

Did you tear this?

Yes.

Seong Tae.

If this kindergarten closes,

kids will spend hours commuting by bus.

But Principal, you know what?

Soon there'll be more elders needing nursing homes

than kids attending this kindergarten.

That's just reality.

Market demand

changes with the times.

Understand?

What demand? You...

Take this.

Take it, you bedwetter.

What?

DDU

Kang Seong Tae.

I'm busy right now, but I'll be watching you.

Straighten up! You little...

Sure, let's see how this plays out.

Nothing will change by doing that.

Sorry about that. Did you check?

About Ms. Bu Se Mi.

Ugh, yes.

Ugh, thank you.

Her resume's impressive but,

we value character most.

Right? You're the Iseon Women's University expert.

Principal Lee, I found one Bu Se Mi graduate.

Well,

wouldn't someone like Bu Se Mi be famous among alumni?

Well, Bu Se Mi I know is much older.

A 94 liner? That's young.

People marry after thirty nowadays.

But Bu Se Mi I know was born in '72.

Fifty-three.

ISEON WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY, BU SE MI

She has three kids, and youngest started college.

What?

Well. Check again, okay?

Bu Se Mi isn't a common name, right?

And, you know, my younger brother? The attorney.

Yeah, Don.

He sent this resume himself.

I have 30 years of alumni records.

Would I miss such a standout graduate?

Did Attorney Lee make a mistake?

That's why we need to verify again.

You can't possibly remember every graduate.

TEACHER BU SE MI

Is he seeing the teacher these days?

Did you see it?

Is there something I shouldn't see, Attorney?

I'm done eating, so clear this up for me.

Hello?

Yes, Madam. What's the matter?

I think the principal is investigating my background.

What should I do?

Then do a thorough background check, sis.

People fake degrees and careers these days, right?

Check her past workplaces for any incidents.

ISEON WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY AFFILIATED KINDERGARTEN

Oh.

32...

Wait, hold on.

Ah, yes. Hello.

That's Iseon Women's University Kindergarten, right?

We're looking for a teacher who worked there.

Bu Se Mi, born in 1994.

Ah, one moment.

Born September 13, 1994, correct?

Yes, that's right.

Ah, Ms. Bu Se Mi worked here until last month.

She's an Iseon Women's University graduate, right?

Of course, naturally.

We only hire Iseon Women's University graduates.

Didn't you know?

Ugh, yes. Understood.

Principal.

A million won for just saying a few words?

Ms. Kim, buy something good today.

Ms. Lee, quiet.

Are you going to report me?

Why would I tell you about that, Ms. Bu Se Mi?

Who are you?

Dong Min! Jeon Dong Min!

Oh my, oh my.

Let go of me.

What on earth are you?

What's your real identity?

Oh my, I'm saying such rude things at a sacred kindergarten.

Wait, wait.

Dear God, forgive me. Help me.

Oh, don't come closer.

You won't believe anything I say, will you?

What's the story behind these lies? Huh?

By the way,

how did you trick our Don?

Our innocent Don!

Are you two

involved in some way, huh?

That suspicion is quite unpleasant.

What's wrong with our Don?

Oh my.

Oh, what should I do?

OUR DON

Yes, Attorney. It's me.

Why are you answering my sister's phone?

Don, hey Don, it's your sister.

Oh, silly Don. What should I do?

Sis, calm down first.

Hey, what's going on?

You said you hired someone through Iseon Kindergarten's principal in Seoul.

Then, why isn't she an Iseon Women's University graduate?

Who's this person in front of me?

Did you meet at a nightclub? Huh?

Sis, it's not a nightclub these days, it's a club!

Madam? And sis...

Both of you, calm down first.

Now listen carefully to what I have to say.

Madam? Sis?

Sis, the person beside you now

is the widow of Chairman Ga Sung Ho of Gaseong Group, who recently passed away.

That gold digger?

Oh, my.

Sis, if you say that, that 'gold digger'...

No, Madam will be hurt if she hears that.

I'm not hurt by such things.

Principal Lee Mi Seon.

This kindergarten is facing closure, right?

The landowner could die any day now, and the kids naturally want to sell, right?

How do you know that?

Three months.

Exactly three months will suffice.

So those three months...

You heard about me, right?

Who I am, how much money I have.

And with that money,

buying this kindergarten's land would be trivial.

Just give me three months.

If you let me stay here quietly as a kindergarten teacher,

you'll become the kindergarten's true owner.

Miss.

Miss.

This must be that famous

noblesse oblige I've heard about.

However, for those three months,

you must absolutely keep it a secret

that I am the widow of Chairman Ga Sung Ho.

During those three months,

everyone will know me only as Ms. Bu Se Mi from Iseon Women's University.

Of course, Teacher.

- Principal. - Yes.

Lying itself isn't bad.

As long as you don't get caught.

Of course, Madam.

Principal.

What did you just say?

Huh?

What, Dong Min?

Who is Madam?

You mean Ms. Bu Se Mi?

Back suplex!

You pulled this stunt all the way from Seoul?

You're crossing the line.

MUCHANG RESIDENTS' RELATIONSHIP CHART

I think the people of Muchang suspect me.

It seems Ga Seon Yeong filed a missing person's report.

Ms. Bu Se Mi.

Wait a second, Miss!

If someone comes looking for me, pretend you don't know me.

Don't you trust me?

I'm just telling you to be careful.

Is that ordinary info?

ISEON KINDERGARTEN

It's worth hundreds of millions.

Friend.

Found you.
