Gosh, you're here.

Ma'am.

Thank you for travelling all this way.

It was our pleasure.

It's nice and tranquil.

If we meet at a crowded and noisy place,

it'll only start strange rumours.

I thought meeting somewhere humble like this might be nice.

To be honest, it's hard to understand.

If you had any intention...

of welcoming our daughter into your family,

you wouldn't treat us like this.

- Honey. That's rude of you to say. - No.

You have the ability to grasp the situation well.

You must be the big shot behind Hanul Group.

I'm Cha Yeon Hwa.

I'm Lee Jung Hye.

Is this everyone?

Oh, our daughter's on her way.

That's her.

Darling.

- Hey. - Jae Ho.

I told you not to let her drive.

Dad.

I apologize. I couldn't...

Hello.

My younger daughter's unwell and couldn't come today.

My older son's working on a rebuilding project...

and couldn't spare the time.

I see.

Taeja Construction won a large contract.

I can't believe you run a foundation as well.

I heard a lot about Big Person Foundation.

You shelter single mothers and children...

and help them get back on their feet.

The nuns do all the actual hard work.

We just provide the funds.

That's why it is so admirable.

That's no easy feat for an entrepreneur.

A foundation spends more than it makes.

That's what makes me a useless entrepreneur.

I'm learning a lot today.

The people behind Taeja Group...

are so easygoing.

You don't care for formalities.

I feel almost ashamed.

Earlier you said...

if we intended to welcome your daughter,

we wouldn't treat you like this.

I spoke out of line...

because I felt my daughter was being looked down on.

But I understand.

All influential families...

would want to become in-laws of the Taeja Group family.

We're not that snobbish or materialistic.

If the kids like each other, we too...

However,

you must know Yi Ju was adopted.

What about that?

That's no fault of Yi Ju's.

Am I wrong?

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone thought so?

But in reality, they gossip.

"It's because she was adopted. She wasn't taught properly."

We tried extra hard so no one could say that, but...

She has a degree in fine art,

but there's nothing she can do yet.

She has never sold a painting,

and she's useless around the house.

I'm worried you'll think less of us for marrying her off.

What's going on? Is she trying to ruin things?

- Shall we clink cups? - No way.

If you say that out of actual concern for us,

then you needn't worry.

Yi Ju's already a catch on her own.

If she weren't,

there's no way I'd have decided to marry her.

Yi Ju.

Do you agree with him?

I'd like to know...

if you think you're worthy of marrying into the Taeja family.

You're right.

I lack in many ways.

As my mother said, I'm hardly good at anything,

but we met for the first time and I brought a gift.

May I show it to you?

You brought a gift? What is it?

You painted this, Ms. Han?

That painting looks very familiar.

It's a copy of a famous piece by Edouard Vuillard.

You could say...

it's a forgery.

My mother provides a unique public service.

She commissions copies of famous paintings...

and displays them in community centers.

For people who rarely get to visit a gallery.

I brought it without asking, thinking you could hang it...

somewhere at Big Person Foundation.

Where did you get such a lovely idea?

I'll accept it with much gratitude.

- Let's see. - Sure.

Hey, you.

Hang this painting somewhere. Where should it go?

Yes. That spot would do nicely.

Hang this up instead.

Yi Ju.

Can I have a word?

How do you have that painting?

You must find it strange.

You yourself gave it to...

Jeil Group's chairman's wife.

How do you know that?

Out of your VIP clients,

the only fanatic of French Intimisme...

is Jeil's chairman's wife.

You recently raised her grade.

That means she bought an expensive painting.

I told her there was a problem with the procurement process...

and offered her a refund.

She gave it back without complaint.

No way.

It's worth a million dollars.

Where did you get the money?

If you don't believe me, check for yourself.

Madam, it's Lee Jung Hye.

The painting you bought last time.

Yes, Ms. Lee. I got the money.

- What? - Yi Ju did a great job.

I'll drop by the gallery to pick out something else.

I'm out shopping right now.

I got the paperwork back as well.

Your signature's on it,

guaranteeing that it is original.

You want to pick a fight with me?

- Are you out of your mind? - Yes. I am.

I need to marry Do Guk at all costs.

- Han Yi Ju. - I might as well do it properly.

In a lavish hall in the most extravagant dress.

In front of Yu Ra, you,

Father, and Grandfather, with everyone's blessing.

So Mother.

Don't mess up this meeting.

Don't get on my nerves.

It was a pleasure to meet you.

Have a safe trip home.

I'll pay you a visit soon, ma'am.

We should talk.

Yes, let's. Bye, then.

You'll slit your eyes even further doing that. Let's go.

Are you saying you were in the right?

You acted like you wanted to throw a spanner in the works.

Don't put all the blame on me.

Didn't you hear what Cha Yeon Hwa said?

They own Taeja Group.

It's natural for them to look down on us.

As a member of the Hanul family, you should put our profits first.

First and foremost, I'm a mother.

And you're Yu Ra's father first, a businessman second.

No.

I was head of a company first.

You brought Yu Ra into the marriage.

Honey.

Watch how you handle the gallery.

Did you have no idea what Yi Ju was getting up to?

I apologize.

Do your job.

Where are you going this late?

How did the dinner go?

- Well... - You couldn't call it off.

We only said hello.

No progress was made...

Yu Ra.

Yu Ra.

You're upset about Seo Do Guk, aren't you?

I'll talk to Yi Ju for you.

She'll have had some time to think.

Enough. You had too much already.

Do you even know what Yi Ju did today?

My family and Do Guk's met for a pre-marriage dinner.

A pre-marriage...

What?

While you're out acting like a fool,

the marriage is well on the way of actually happening.

It can't be.

Where's Yi Ju now?

I don't know.

She's at a hotel or with Do Guk.

A pre-marriage dinner?

Se Hyeok. Do you even want her back?

Of course, I do.

But I don't know how.

Then help me.

What?

I'll get involved now.

Grandma.

Madam Cha, why are you so solemn?

- What did you think? - About what?

What did you think about the family Do Guk's fiancée’s from?

Her mom.

She'd make a stepmom from any fairy-tale look sweet.

You saw her diss her daughter while pretending to be humble.

Exactly.

What? We don't care for formalities?

She belittled the girl she adopted and raised.

Isn't that child abuse?

I'd say she stopped being a child 20 years ago.

She must've been mistreated for years.

I wonder if she was even fed properly.

That's why she's as thin as a stick.

What? What's wrong?

What's up, Madam Cha?

Have you given her your heart already?

As if I have.

I'm slightly bothered, that's all.

Compassion is something you feel for a cat you find on the road.

Not your daughter-in-law.

Mother, I'm not...

It doesn't matter at all.

We can say what we want,

but Do Guk won't care one bit.

He's so into her, he lost his mind.

What? "He lost his mind?"

How dare you talk like that about your brother?

As if Do Na ever thought of us as older brothers.

- Hello. - You're home, Jung Wook.

Hello, Grandmother.

Did you quit your job?

You're always around.

Hey, don't you know working from home is all the rage?

I don't.

I'm in construction which requires me to always be in the office.

So,

how did the dinner with Do Guk's girl's family go?

His girlfriend seems decent.

But her mom. I can't stand her.

Really? What about her?

I just can't.

So, Mom, you don't object?

It depends.

I thought you liked her.

Didn't you and her have a thing?

Like what?

I saw for myself.

You two exchanged glances.

What are you talking about?

Leave if all you have to say is such nonsense.

Go home!

So? How did my aunt give permission?

What?

I had a feeling you two would get along.

Why did the particular woman...

agree to meet your family after seeing you just once?

It was nothing, really. I just...

Let's have our families meet. All of them.

Pardon?

But there's a condition.

Can you keep a secret from Do Guk?

Yes. What is it?

I'll give you six months.

Get Do Guk to take a position in Taeja Group.

Then I'll accept you.

If you can't, Ms. Han, I'm hoping you'd leave on your own terms.

Is it too much of an ask?

No. I'll do as you wish.

Seo Do Guk.

He wouldn't want to work at Taeja, would he?

Why? Did he say something?

No. I just want to know.

I don't think he'd want to.

Grandma wanted him to succeed her,

but he insisted on leaving to start his business.

He wouldn't go back because of Jung Wook.

Jung Wook?

Do Guk's older brother?

Well... Yes.

Why?

Are they not close?

Gosh, I have no idea.

Oh, that was darn hot.

- Can I have some iced water? - Sure.

It's still so hot.

Koreans rarely host parties at home,

so you don't visit someone's home unless you're close.

That's why our online housewarming is as popular as it is.

That's why I want to start with a country similar...

to Korea, which is Japan.

The circumstances might be similar, but another country...

makes hiring and logistics much harder.

That's an issue we're bound to face.

There's no ideal time to launch a new business.

We must do it when we have an advantage.

Don't you think...

your focus should be on Taeja Construction's project?

It should be.

But do you want to work on just that?

And nothing else?

Of course not.

As long as there's a decent discussion.

We can't dive right into a project because you want to.

It's not like our company's some small corner store.

Mr. Yu, I think that sounded a bit too harsh.

If I can't run my company the way I want,

why would I be the CEO?

I should just run a small corner store.

Mr. Seo, you can't pull rank like that.

Are you saying...

you doubt your staff's judgement?

Especially...

your judgement, Mr. Yu.

You can't even tell a good woman from a bad one.

Mr. VP, I have something to say to you urgently.

What? Now?

Yes. Let's go outside.

- It's about kimchi jjigae. - Kimchi jjigae?

- The CEO... - Yes?

Quit dragging work into it and speak frankly, Mr. Yu.

I served you for over five years, and I always gave my best.

How could you covet the fiancée of your staff?

You're crossing over the line.

I was certain I started seeing her...

after she broke up with you.

That's not true. We were thinking things through.

Well, she made up her mind after thinking things through.

- That she'll marry me. - I doubt she's sincere.

Do you know her that well?

You must know how much and how long she has loved me.

I know how upset she is,

so I'm trying to understand what she's doing now.

It's unfortunate that you're being used...

in this situation.

- I don't mind. - Pardon?

I fell so hard for her that I don't mind being used.

I'm talking about me.

I don't want another man to utter her beautiful name.

It makes me shudder in anger,

enough to want to pull out that tongue of yours.

This...

must be love, right?

Mr. Seo.

What do you plan to do with Yi Ju?

What else? Do what a partner should do.

I'll love her, trust her,

and support her...

so she can do...

what she really wants to do.

Are you going to give everyone a refund?

For every single forged painting by Yi Ju?

Just tell them there was an issue while tracking artwork.

Refund them the exact price and get the paintings back.

Make sure you erase all traces of the transactions.

As for the funds,

use the account in Malaysia.

(Lee Jung Hye)

Did somebody catch on?

I didn't hear anything from the gallery.

The appraisers also said they were perfect.

Just do as you're told.

Yes, ma'am.

Also, Jeil Group's madam is here.

(The Han Gallery)

Hello. You're here.

Hello, Ms. Lee.

I'm sorry about worrying you.

No problem. It happens.

The money was deposited without a problem, right?

Of course.

Actually, I was asked if I had a slush fund.

I was surprised you wanted to deposit into that account.

- Really? - Yes.

Thanks to you, I can conserve the amount I paid for the painting.

By the way, I need to ask you for a favour.

I think my staff used...

a different bank account instead of the gallery's account.

Do you mind checking the name of the depositor?

Sure.

(Seo Do Guk)

- Hello? - What are you doing?

What about you? What are you doing?

I'm at work. I think I'll be here overnight.

I might go to a hotel late at night.

Why not just go home?

Hotels are more comfortable.

Do you want to come too?

I'm busy. I'm packing.

Are you going to move today?

Do you want a ride?

It's okay. I can call a taxi.

I told you not to do things alone.

What?

I told you I'd be by your side,

so don't try to do things alone. Whatever it is.

Don't treat me like a child.

Maybe I'll ask for your help when something difficult comes up.

I'm proud of you, Yi Ju.

Didn't you say you were busy? You sound like you're free.

Of course, I'm busy.

I need to work hard if I want to feed you.

Okay, then work even harder.

I'm hanging up.

Not again.

What are you doing?

Are you going to Mr. Seo's place? I'll take you there.

Forget it. I can go on my own.

I know the way. Also, I want to talk to you.

I said, forget it.

- What's with you? - Let me do this much.

This might be the last.

I said I could bring them in for you.

Forget it. Please leave now.

Yi Ju.

Did you only see me as your boyfriend?

What?

Now that it's over, do you not care to see me at all?

We were neighbourhood friends and the only ones...

we could honestly share our thoughts and feelings with.

Are you blaming this on me?

- Don't you know why this happened? - I know it's my fault.

That's why I can't get angry when you're marrying someone else.

Even if we break up like this,

I still wish for your best...

as a good neighbourhood friend.

What is it that you want to say?

I wouldn't bother if it was someone else.

But Seo Do Guk is not right.

It has been just a few days, but you were engaged,

your families met, and now you're moving in together.

Those who know him would never believe this.

It's ridiculous.

Maybe he's that passionate about me.

- What? - When men fall in love,

they're willing to do anything.

Just like how you were planning to marry the sister...

of the one you love so you could stay close to her.

Am I wrong?

You know...

You know,

I asked him if he knew how close we were.

We were friends for over 20 years...

and we even dated. However, he didn't mind.

He told me he didn't care.

How can a man in love say that?

Do Guk is a cool guy.

He's different from a loser I know.

That's not being cool. He's just cold like ice.

Yi Ju.

I'm doing this for a reason.

Seo Do Guk is a scary man.

He must have something else on his mind.

I bet you didn't know...

Mr. Seo tried to kill someone.

- What? - He was someone...

who pushed his brother off a boat.

Thanks to that, his older brother was disabled.

The reason why he left Taeja Group to start his own company...

was because he felt pressured to compete against his brother.

Why? Because what he did will surface once again.

You must be shocked. I'm sorry.

But...

who else would tell you such a thing?

No one else worries about you like I do.

This is why we should get back together.

After that, we should...

Get off me.

Se Hyeok.

You could become an actor.

Where did you hear that?

You said so yourself...

that Seo Do Guk is on bad terms with his brother.

Is it true he pushed his brother...

off a boat?

- Is it true? - Nothing's for sure.

It's true...

Jung Wook fell and got badly hurt when only two of them were there.

But it could've been an accident.

Jung Wook said his little brother pushed him.

There was also a witness who testified similarly.

Anyway, no one in the family has talked about it since then.

It's a memory we all want to forget.

Do you think it'll really work?

Didn't you see Yi Ju's shocked face?

She froze like ice.

So are they that passionate about each other?

Just you wait.

As passion deepens, so does the intensity of pain...

when trust is shattered.

(Taeja Group Seo Jung Wook)

(Vice President Seo Jung Wook Donates to the Disabled)

(Taeja Group's Seo Jung Wook, The Heir with a Kind Personality)

Do Guk.

I mean, Mr. Seo.

We're in trouble. The vice president of Taeja Construction...

As in, Seo Jung Wook...

What about Seo Jung Wook?

He caused trouble.

How can it be cancelled? What happened?

You were the one who proposed this in the first place.

I know.

But you are responsible too.

- What? - Because of your marriage news,

people are linking Hanul to Taeja Construction.

But Hanul's image isn't that great, don't you think?

People are saying it'll lower the status of their apartments.

I'll talk to Grandmother.

She mustn't think that we have bad blood.

I have a general meeting.

We put that as a condition before they chose the contractor.

Why are they removing us?

Did they receive approval from the committee?

They just held a general meeting about the changed design plan.

I'm sure they wrote it on the consent form in fine print.

This is a huge project.

A billion-dollar project like this must be rare for Taeja too.

Many of the subcontractors depend on us.

Do we have any solutions?

I think it'll be tough.

It's like a warning. They don't want to be linked to Hanul.

What?

Hanul Finance is notorious even in the construction industry.

They once acquired a firm that was about to go bankrupt...

for more than one hundred million dollars.

After taking all the funds,

they declared the firm bankrupt when it could've made a comeback.

Ultimately,

they're saying my marriage is the problem, right?

I'm marrying Han Yi Ju.

This is not about involving Hanul in our business.

Taeja Construction is of course, out of the picture.

I don't think so.

When someone starts a rumour in the dark,

it'll be hard to know who started it...

or how far it'll spread.

Then we should drag them out into the light.

- Pardon? - What?

- What are they doing? - Why the illegal design changes?

Please recall them!

Let me brief you on the topics we'll go through today.

(Noblesse Amitie Reconstruction Union General Meeting)

First, we'll go through questions about the outsourced staff.

Then, we'll also talk about the increased construction cost...

due to the changes in design...

- This is ridiculous! - What is this?

I'll do the briefing myself.

Vice President Seo.

This is Vice President Seo Jung Wook of Taeja Construction.

Look. The ladies you used as promotional staff...

only visited houses with old folks to persuade them.

Now you're telling us the changes in design have been confirmed.

Isn't this illegal?

This was carried out by the outsourced HR firm.

If there's any problem, they are responsible.

What about the altered designs?

Isn't it ridiculous that it costs two hundred million dollars more?

- Does this make sense? - Two hundred million?

We'll make it make sense for you.

Did we inflate the costs for no reason?

It's because we also expanded area of the project.

The residents will get to enjoy the resulting benefits.

- How can that be? - What is he saying?

Of course, I understand your concerns.

Therefore, I, Seo Jung Wook, shall promise you one thing.

Everyone.

What you want most...

is money, isn't it?

- Of course! - He's not wrong.

We at Taeja Construction, will make this area...

the most affluent housing area...

in the whole country, besides Gangnam.

I promise you.

All right. The vice president promised you.

Let's clap.

But...

we need to verify what was said.

As you said, this is a huge project.

No mistakes should be made.

However, there's something that bothers me.

All you've expanded for the changes in construction...

is the size of this underground parking lot.

Why did you budget for construction above ground?

The cost difference is threefold.

- No way. - Threefold?

- That's ridiculous. - Did he say threefold?

- How can this be? - It doesn't make sense.

I think there are errors in your calculation.

Please check again thoroughly.

What happened, Mr. Park?

Did you submit a proper final copy of the design plan?

Well... Let me talk to the architecture team...

and update you again.

But... Who is that?

Me?

Please excuse me.

Hello, everyone.

For the Noblesse Amitie reconstruction project,

we're working with Taeja Construction...

to provide bespoke interior designs.

I am the director of H-terior, the interior design platform,

Seo Do Guk.

H-terior?

It sounds familiar.

It's famous. It was on the news.

Oh, right. I think I saw it on the news.

- That's right. - Is he famous?

As Vice President Seo Jung Wook mentioned earlier,

the value of your property...

is important. However,

it is also important to think about...

how we can improve the quality of life...

for the current residents.

As such,

based on your preferences and lifestyles,

we will come up with unique interior concepts.

We will also follow up on and provide support...

regarding the materials and spatial planning of your space.

Just like how I corrected the mistake...

Taeja Construction made.

However, there's my marriage.

Due to a very private issue,

there are people who want my company...

removed from the project.

Since you are gathered here, may I ask for your opinions?

Wait. Are you saying we should create a form...

and do a vote?

Let's do a show of hands.

If you...

are interested in creating a nice living space with us,

please raise your hand.

(Noblesse Amitie Reconstruction Union General Meeting)

Do Guk went there to do a vote because of that girl?

All right. Thanks, Mr. Jang.

Let me apologize first, Chairman Lee.

Now that our eldest is getting married,

my wife feels very upset.

She went through a lot of joys and sorrows...

after adopting and raising Yi Ju.

I hope you understand.

No need for that.

Right. So what do you want to talk about?

It's about the new governor of the Financial Supervisory Service.

Since he doesn't have a finance background,

people are excited.

Since the FSS handles money, it's great he is someone...

who has no personal history with the finance world.

- However... - However?

One cannot survive on their own, can they?

Whether they like it or not, they need personal networks.

Wouldn't it be the same for him?

In the past,

there was this saying in Myeongdong. Have you heard of it?

Pardon?

Birds hear what you say in the day, and rats hear what you say at night.

And Han Woon Jae hears what you say about money.

Now that I think about it, you do resemble your dad.

I'm not sure about that.

My dad did not want me to grow the business.

Goodness, that scared me.

See?

(Han Woon Jae)

He's calling because he knows I'm meeting you.

Yes? What's the matter?

What?

I got it. Let's hang up.

By the way, why did my dad call you?

You know how quirky he is.

It was just to say hello.

Anyway, this is what you're saying.

Hanul is trying to acquire a savings bank,

and you want my help, is that right?

That is exactly it, Chairman Lee.

Okay.

Let me think about it.

Let's eat.

Yes, ma'am.

How long has it been?

About 30 years or so?

We last met...

in your office during the Asian financial crisis.

That day,

you slapped me on the face with a wad of cash.

I can never forget it.

It hurt so much.

You brought it upon yourself.

You charged such high interest.

There was more cash to slap you with.

Do you still hold a grudge?

I do.

How could I not when you charged me so much?

Take this...

and forget about the past.

It's 1.6 million dollars.

The interest you paid me.

It's all right there.

You're giving back the interest...

I paid you back then? Why?

My granddaughter.

Please accept her.

She's a poor kid.

I brought the clueless kid into the family.

She suffered her whole life.

But she doesn't resent me.

She forgave me.

There's only one thing she wants in life,

and it's to marry your grandson, and I want to help her.

So will you please accept our Yi Ju?

I won't take the money.

- Why won't you? - Listen.

This is my money.

You took the money I worked my butt off to earn,

and now you want to give it back...

in exchange for a favour?

How dare you?

I'm being serious. I'll make it up to you.

I won't take the money.

The money you touch is so dirty no amount of laundering will work.

What you just said.

Pretend I never heard it. Bye.

Don't say that. What must I do...

to make you think I'm serious?

What are you doing? What's this about?

The only way I know...

how to show how I feel is with cash.

Tell me what else to do and I'll do it.

You nuisance.

I'd rather take my own life than let people think...

we're having a fling. Let go of me.

- Madam Lee, please. - You fool.

- Let go. - Help me out, please!

Madam Lee!

Please.

Darn you.

My gosh.

You didn't drink any water all day long?

I got dragged into something much worse than water.

A sly grandfather and greedy father.

There's nothing more to consider.

I'm just glad she's not related to them.

What are you talking about?

Yeon Hwa.

You have Yi Ju's number, don't you?

What for?

I want to test her for myself...

and see what she's like.

What's wrong, Grandfather?

You don't feel well?

It's not that.

I just don't think I'm any help.

Don't say that.

Recently, thanks to you...

"Thanks to me?" Don't say that.

You know that...

compared to what I owe you,

that's nothing at all.

I should make it up to you good.

What you say you owe me.

What on earth is it?

Don't worry at all.

I'll do what I can to get you married.

Okay. Thank you, Grandfather.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

I'll visit you again.

Be sure to eat on time, okay?

Okay.

Oh, dear...

(Daeyeon Senior Care Center)

So it was you.

Why are you watching me?

(Daeyeon Senior Care Center)

I work for Lee Jung Hye.

Anything she tells me to do...

No. You're watching me voluntarily.

You saw me with my grandfather last time.

But you didn't report that to Lee Jung Hye.

You knew, then.

Why?

You serve Lee Jung Hye,

and if she's threatened,

you can bring anyone down for her.

Tell me.

How am I to interpret...

this atypical behaviour?

Don't define what I'm supposed to be like.

I can change however way I want whenever I want to.

This isn't like you.

Don't define what I'm supposed to be like.

I can change however way I want whenever I want to.

It's what you said to me.

I quite liked it.

Me and Lee Jung Hye.

Do you want to know who will win,

or are you testing to see whom to side with?

What if I say...

it's both?

You could side with me, then.

I'll make you an offer.

Side with me.

I'll give you all the money you want.

I don't need money.

What do you need, then?

I'll give some thought to whose side I'll take.

At least while I'm testing you.

It's hot, so be careful, everyone.

We'll leave it to set for a while at room temperature.

I'll check your work now.

- Here. - Good job.

My goodness.

No.

What are you doing, Cha Yeon Hwa? Why would you avoid her?

Can I see what you made?

What do you think?

It's very unique.

Do you enjoy cooking?

I think it helps when I have a lot on my mind.

It helps me set aside all the concerns.

I see. Like painting does?

The painting I bought from you. It's in my bedroom.

I love it so much.

Do you really?

I'm so pleased.

It's the first painting I sold.

You must've painted for years to become that good.

I started as a child.

That was all I could do at home.

She should be trying to get on my good side.

Why would she say things like that?

Your cooking will improve too.

Is this all done?

Yes.

- Will you take it with you? - Yes.

- For whom? Your boyfriend? - What?

Well, no. It's for myself.

Okay. Wait here.

- I'll bring you a box. - Thanks.

Mother.

Is this...

some kind of artwork or something?

"Artwork?"

It's not that impressive.

Then is it an ordinary brownie?

You're helpless.

- Pardon? - Forget it.

Will you feed my son this?

Cut off all the burned crust,

and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top.

For someone who majored in fine art,

you really can't decorate.

You're helping her out because she's your future daughter-in-law?

Hey, you!

It's about basic courtesy.

This is what it looks like.

What human being would turn a blind eye?

You have a point.

Why are you here without notice?

- I'm hungry. - What?

I was hoping to eat. Do you have food?

Wait.

Wait right here.

Don't come any closer. Stay there.

Oh, dear.

What's this?

Is it a brick?

I made it.

You made this?

Then is it a work of art?

Is it an earthenware or ceramic piece?

It's food. A brownie.

Food... This is edible?

- I'll throw it away. Hand it over. - No.

What are you doing?

It could taste better than it looks.

- Did I break a tooth? - Give it to me.

What are you doing?

I'll cook some ramyeon.

You will have some too, right?

Sit down. I'll cook it for you.

Everything's okay, right?

You didn't call.

I just...

wanted to see you.

Now, let's eat.

- Go on. - What?

Your taster had a mouthful.

You can eat now.

So,

your luggage.

Is that all you brought? That's not much.

I won't stay for long anyway.

What?

For some reason, today,

you seem to be drawing...

too clear a line.

- I am. - What?

There's no need to put on an act when we're alone.

It's a fake marriage anyway.

What happens if it's not fake?

- What? - What if I want a real marriage?

What will you do?

What "real marriage?"

What does that mean?

You know what it means...

when a man says this to a woman.

It has been just a few days, but you were engaged,

your families met, and now you're moving in together.

Those who know him would never believe this.

It's ridiculous.

He told me he didn't care.

How can a man in love say that?

That...

- can't happen. - It can't happen?

Why not?

Because I don't have much time...

How much do you have?

How much time...

do you have left, Yi Ju?

A year.

What I mean is,

our contract's valid for a year.

In business, a contract is highly revered.

So...

The line between us.

Please don't cross it.

- Hello? - Ms. Han Yi Ju?

That's right. Who's calling?

I'm Do Guk's older brother Seo Jung Wook.

Sorry I missed the family gathering.

I'd like to meet you. Are you free tomorrow?

Yes. I'm free.

Let's meet at 9pm, then. I'll text you the location.

By the way,

I'd like to keep it from Do Guk.

Very well. Goodbye.

Goodness. We meet again.

Is this a coincidence?

No. It was meant to be.

You come here when you want to drink alone.

And you have a suite upstairs.

You know a lot about me.

More than my sister does, at least.

I bet...

I've been with more men than my sister too.

I have something to take care of.

Am I so unattractive...

that you can't even spend a night with me?

I doubt it's that.

More like I'm not interested.

My sister isn't interested in you either.

Se Hyeok is all she cares about.

Did you take this yourself?

Is that important?

What's important is that Se Hyeok...

has been visiting without your knowledge.

Now do you see how crafty Yi Ju is?

Yes. Now I get...

why you're so obsessed with me.

What?

You don't want to lose to her.

She's a pathetic orphan with nothing to her name.

Of course, she must be below you.

But you know she shines more than you in reality,

and it's hard for you to bear.

That's why you desperately try to stomp on her.

Isn't that how you really feel?

Do Guk, how could you say such a thing?

This is my last warning.

Stop before things get ugly.

I have zero intention...

of humouring this disgusting game.

Do Guk...

What about Yu Ra? Did she come home?

Yes, a while ago.

Give it to me. I'll take it to her.

Yu Ra, I'm coming in.

Yu Ra!

(Culin Tablets)

Yu Ra!

Yu Ra!

Yu Ra!

How could you do such a thing?

Don't you know how I raised you?

I always made sure to give you the best.

Everyone envied you.

You put so much effort into raising me,

but I turned out to be a disappointment. I'm sorry for you.

What?

Do you know what Do Guk said?

He told me I'm no game for Yi Ju.

He told me I looked pathetic trying to beat her.

But I'm the real one.

Yi Ju is a fake.

Why must I hear such a thing?

How dare he say that?

He's going to get it.

I'm sick of it.

What?

Don't you see?

There's nothing you can do,

but you just have a fat mouth.

Seo Do Guk...

Han Yi Ju...

I'll get them both.

Yes. I'm at the café.

I'm sorry, but my phone is low on battery.

It might turn off on my way there.

You’ll be able to recognize me when you get here.

You can turn it off.

Bye.

What's important is that Se Hyeok...

has been visiting without your knowledge.

(Seo Jung Wook)

Hey, Do Guk.

Did you get home okay last time?

Since when did we start checking in on each other?

I haven't seen you so aggressive in a while. It was impressive.

I could tell at the general meeting...

that this is very important to you.

Of course, it is. It's my business.

No, not your business.

I'm talking about your wedding.

- What? - Wasn't that why you ran over?

You even had people vote in favour...

to prove that there are no issues with your upcoming wedding.

Case closed.

What are you talking about?

I became curious about your fiancée.

What kind of person could she be?

I also wonder how she'll react...

once she finds out what you're really like.

What are you scheming?

First and foremost, she's good-looking.

- What? - What'll she look like angry?

She'll probably look pretty while crying too.

Where are you?

I said, where are you right now?

So, did you find out who deposited from Jeil Group?

It came from a corporate account in the UK.

We tried to check through a bank abroad,

but there was no information about the account holder.

It must be a paper company then.

- Could it be Seo Do Guk? - I checked...

his personal and corporate accounts,

but I could not find any illegal transactions.

I'll research some more.

Also,

did you do a background check on the person I asked?

Like you said,

he seems to be hostile toward Seo Do Guk.

Many are predicting disturbances...

to Taeja Group and its successor.

Senior Executive Vice President Seo Jung Wook who was assumed...

to be in line to succeed Taeja Group tried to exclude H-terior...

whom they were collaborating with for their reconstruction project.

Many presumptions have arisen for the reasoning.

Perhaps...

Meanwhile... - we might communicate well.

- They assume... - Sure.

The most important thing when collaborating...

is to have the same goal.

He said I'd be able to recognize him.

Where is he anyway?

(Ferry dock)

Jung Wook!

Somebody, help my brother!

Anybody there?

Help!

Help!

Anybody there?

Jung Wook!

Please help my brother!

Please help my brother!

Please help my brother!

Please save my brother!

Please, save him...

Do Guk?

Yi Ju.

Where's Jung Wook?

He told me he'd be here, but I couldn't find him.

Were you planning to join us?

What's the matter? Are you feeling sick?

No...

I just...

I'm just a bit...

dizzy.

Do Guk!

Are you okay?

I feel wronged.

What?

You told me not to cross the line.

But...

But you crossed...

Do Guk!

Do Guk, wake up!

Do Guk!

Do Guk!

What is this?

He was acting strong and mighty,

but he was still the same.

(Perfect Marriage Revenge)

Your wedding depends on this.

You held on to your life even while dealing with private loans.

Do you want to give it up now?

You're trying to switch over, right?

That won't be possible.

We're going to bet on the older brother.

This is an important time for us. Let's focus on one thing.

We need to expedite our wedding.

You should be careful. It could be a marriage fraud.

I know what I'm suffering from. The emergency can't help me.

I already know.
