Dad!

I'm not the one who deserves the blame.

Chairman Park Tae Ho is behind all of it!

Choosing Adele is not wise.

Even if you work as a jewelry designer, don't consider working there.

Famous as it may be,

that company isn't the place for you.

The danger could be worse than you imagine.

So Min Jun's dad is Park Tae Ho, the chairman of Adele Group.

What? "Adele Group"?

Is he Adele Group's chairman's son?

Dad's company was in Adele Group's sights.

No wonder Dad kept his guard up with them.

Chairman Park Tae Ho...

and Yu Na's dad came for my father,

while Yu Na targeted me.

Where does that leave me now?

He's like a fortress.

Nobody in our family dares to challenge him.

Getting past him is simply impossible.

That's what my father is like.

Min Jun.

James.

My dad passed away.

[Episode 12]

Where is the chairman?

A breakfast meeting came up.

Oh, really?

Well, looks like today's meal is all mine.

Come on. Load up the table with my favorites.

Gosh, the kimchi came out perfectly.

Perfectly fermented, just the way I want it.

Living in the main house must be why

I have been sleeping like a baby,

plus I've been starving all morning,

unlike someone here with a sour face.

So good.

As long as Chairman Park stays on our side,

until my Hyun Jun takes over,

I will do whatever it takes.

How many people die, we keep going.

Do you understand?

Aren't you going to eat?

Hey, stop right there.

Oh Jung Ran or the others could spot you!

This has gone too far for me.

An innocent person was killed,

yet she acts like nothing even happened.

Back when my sister was killed, we had nothing.

Now, with proof,

I can take legal action.

A financial ledger showing Oh Jung Ran's slush fund...

and her lobbying money trail,

or the reports she gave the chairman, then take it all to the cops.

What?

Dan Hui.

For years now,

every day I have just swallowed my pain,

yet nothing has changed. I'm still helpless.

Being this weak and stupid disgusts me.

More than that monster, Oh Jung Ran,

what I truly despise...

is my own worthlessness!

Still, you've kept Min Jun safe until now.

You will continue to look after him, right?

Right now, just think of seizing Adele Group.

Keep your mind on nothing else.

Rip away what Oh Jung Ran values most.

Avenge your sister,

then surpass Oh Jung Ran in power.

Only then can Min Jun remain safe.

Power alone... can make them answer for Dr. Baek.

You know that, don't you?

What is wrong with your face?

Are you not feeling well?

Father, are you all right?

What?

What... do you mean?

About CEO Baek...

Jin Ju's death must have upset you,

since she was your friend and all.

Goodness,

back when she was alive, you couldn't bear her.

Now she is dead; suddenly, do you care?

Aigoo, it just proves you never know what's next.

Nobody saw this coming for the Baek family.

Anyway, the living still have to carry on.

CEO Baek's death allowed your dad

to unload the company and scoop up shares.

The profit was huge.

Plus, you took first in that design contest,

which means you get to study overseas!

"Contest"?

That's right!

They phoned from Adele to pick up your prize.

Why on Earth didn't you mention it earlier?

There was time to buy a new outfit for it.

Like you need another one with a closet stuffed full of clothes...

Nothing in there works for an award ceremony.

Anyway, let me pick an outfit

and style my hair so hurry, all of you.

Quit sulking over someone who has gone.

R-Right.

Those who are gone aren't coming back

so we have to move forward.

That's right!

You two weren't that close

so enough with the sad faces.

Hurry up and get ready!

Time is running out. Let's move.

Those who are gone... aren't coming back.

When nothing can undo what has been done,

do I really just get to keep everything I stole?

[A National Police Force True to the Basics]

[Release of Belongings, Baek Jun Gi Vehicle Blast]

That watch from the crash site you submitted

turned out to have no connection to the case.

With no identifiable legal next of kin,

authorization came through to give it back to you.

Hyun Jun.

What are you doing here?

Just lost in thought.

What must you be thinking to be so sad?

Do I really... look that sad?

Yes, that face is like mine used to be.

Seems like a secret one-sided love.

Wait, was I right?

Could that... actually be it?

Have you actually fallen for someone?

Fall for someone?

It's complicated.

"Complicated"?

What makes it so complicated?

Are the circumstances the problem?

Or is it how you feel?

Or is it her attractiveness?

Telling you won't change anything.

You do not have anyone yourself.

Other people's love lives are always clearer,

even when ours are a disaster.

Just open up to me, then I will...

The second I do,

you'll go straight to Ms. Oh with it.

O-Of course not.

Then forget about it.

Okay, okay.

My lips are sealed

- so come on; spill it... - Leave it alone, will you?

- Trust me. Nobody else will hear it! - Go back inside.

Hyun Jun, talk to me.

- Hyun Jun! - Leave me alone.

Hyun Jun,

say something! Talk to me!

Seriously.

One more thing crossed my mind.

Can these memories...

really be all that is left for me?

That thought actually crossed my mind.

We made a promise to stay together forever.

Is this kind of togetherness...

really going to satisfy me?

[University College of Business and Management, Birmingham]

First place in Adele Group's Design Competition

is awarded to Choi Yu Na.

Park Tae Ho.

Nobody knows Oh Jung Ran's crimes better than you.

You know every detail, yet you play dumb.

So you take Dr. Baek's company and call it done?

Everyone around here,

myself included,

are we all just protecting ourselves?

Here you go.

So how does it feel to win the design competition?

Excuse me?

Oh, right. Well...

Don't get distracted.

Put all your energy into studying abroad.

These wings mean

you can fly to the very top.

Aigoo, no way, Chairman.

A long road is still ahead of her.

Reaching the top isn't happening just yet.

Now, if it were Jin Ju...

Why would you compare Yu Na to a dead girl?

Honestly, once our Yu Na puts her mind to it,

nothing is beyond her reach.

Absolutely right.

Just like you said, Chairman Park,

I plan to rise straight to the top.

That's right.

Everything I stole from Jin Ju becomes mine.

Mother.

Why on Earth was this girl with my Min Jun?

The path won't come easy.

Sorry?

Chasing a goal like the top

is a race with no finish line.

A bit more, just a tiny bit more.

The bigger your greed gets,

the more it will swallow you fully

and turn you into a monster.

Did she just say "monster"?

Right. Nobody would want that, of course.

Take this as my advice and keep it in mind.

What is wrong with her?

Excuse me! Just one second.

Becoming a monster doesn't sound so bad to me.

Unless you're fine struggling at the bottom.

If you become a monster,

people won't dare to rob and disrespect you.

Isn't that true?

Does she have a point?

Is that the right way?

To get crushed and lose it all, only to have regret afterward,

I'd rather become a monster.

Keep your eyes on me.

Once I come back,

you'll have no choice but to acknowledge me.

"Rather become a monster"?

[Public Health Center]

James.

- Jin Ju. - James.

Aigoo, my goodness.

Thank you so much.

I'm so relieved you are okay!

Ahjussi.

My dad...

I'm aware. I know all of it.

- I know it all. - Ahjussi.

I left my dad all alone.

Only I...

only I made it out...

CEO Baek...

would have felt relieved you pulled through.

"A thousand blessings," he would have said.

He is still watching you from above.

Everything is going to be fine.

[The late Baek Jun Gi] [The late Baek Jin Ju]

It's all I could manage on short notice.

Your watch was at the crash site

and with no surviving relatives,

it went to the finder, a guy named Park Min Jun.

Min Jun...

Did you look into it?

Were they truly Yu Na's family

and Adele Group's chairman, Park Tae Ho,

who did this to my father?

Yes, that is what it looks like.

Every piece of evidence points to them.

Would going to the cops be pointless?

They had power and cruelty to frame CEO Baek

and make his death appear a suicide.

No doubt they covered their tracks perfectly.

Even if proof exists,

it's probably well hidden now.

Without proof, going to the police

could make you a target again.

So there is nothing

left for me to do for my father?

Enraging and unjust as this is,

our hands are tied right now.

The blast was so powerful that no one could be identified.

It's a miracle that nobody knows you survived.

My dad... saved my life.

My dad...

he shielded me until his final breath.

And still, I can't do a thing...

not one single thing for him.

Dad.

Dad.

[The late Baek Jun Gi] [The late Baek Jin Ju]

Dad!

I am sorry, Dad!

I am sorry.

I couldn't save you!

And only I walked out alive.

They murdered you for no reason!

Your name got dragged through the dirt!

Yet all I can do is hide like this.

There is not a single thing I can do for you.

I am sorry.

I am sorry, Dad!

Dad!

Dad.

Dad!

What exactly are you up to?

Like you don't already know.

Hey, come on. Don't start with that.

Cut it out.

Keep your hands off me. Back away!

There is something we need to discuss.

Oh, really? Then come on in.

You, step aside!

Please, come in.

Say what you need here or in the study.

Why bring that tramp to our bedroom?

Do you think this room belongs to you?

It's mine.

Don't like it? Move out to the annex!

- Step aside! - No.

Move it!

Please, come in.

You!

[Research Proposal Guide]

Please allow this.

If this business plan meets your standards,

Temi Bio, the company you just acquired,

I want to be placed in charge of it.

Put me in charge of Temi Bio,

and just like your wife does,

I'll do even the dangerous work.

[The late Baek Jun Gi] [The late Baek Jin Ju]

Well...

how about tagging along with me?

Our meeting point is the delivery office.

Sure thing.

Give her some time, and she will reach out soon.

[The late Baek Jun Gi] [The late Baek Jin Ju]

So this was your plan from the start?

Part of me kept denying it,

telling myself it couldn't be real.

But with all the evidence out there,

everyone is saying the same thing,

that you harmed innocent Jin Ju...

People can be so heartless.

Your father took your life in the name of being a father,

and others buried you with him,

simply because you were his daughter.

I wish I had proposed

the moment we met and I fell for you.

[The late Baek Jun Gi] [The late Baek Jin Ju]

If we became family,

and I was there to protect you,

this never would have happened on my watch.

I...

will never let his crime go unpunished.

You would probably tell me to let it go,

but each time I stand at your grave,

every fiber in me will despise him.

[The late Baek Jun Gi] [The late Baek Jin Ju]

Visiting you here like this

and longing for you so much

is already more than I can bear.

Can I really keep going,

leaving you behind in this place?

How am I supposed to live

in a world that doesn't have you in it?

Won't you end up regretting this?

Walking away means the world thinks you died.

Regrets already fill my life as it is.

Can you really just walk away from him?

He believes he lost the person who mattered most,

and the pain must be crushing him.

I... lost my father.

In those flames,

everything I owned turned to ash.

Revenge is all that is left for me. I'm sorry for Dad.

And my revenge starts

by erasing the person I used to be.

Okay.

Good morning, Director Kim.

Sure.

- Does Baek Jin Ju's name bother you? - Pardon?

Who is Baek Jin Ju, exactly?

A son's wedding is soon, yet no one looks happy.

Since you committed to this, do it right.

You need me, not Baek Jin Ju who's dead.

You stole her designs and her dreams,

and her marriage is next on your list. [Choi Yu Na]

Just stop right there.

Don’t be greedy for me too.
