DATA PROCESSING ROOM

What are you waiting for? Scan it.

-Pardon? -Scan your fingerprint.

Ah, my finger's like this, so I can't.

Hurry up and scan it.

What? Did you hurt your finger too?

Or…

is there another reason why you can't?

UNCLEAR

VERIFYING

YU MI-RAE VERIFIED

Verified.

The only lesson I learned from battling my childhood illness…

is that there are some fights in life you just can't win.

Where are you going?

Dusonbong Peak.

I also know…

that you always gain something at the end of a fight.

But I didn't have the strength to keep fighting until I won.

You failed by just three points? You'll definitely pass next time, Mi-rae.

I didn't pass either.

I made it to the second round last time, though.

I had to make a quick decision between a fight I could win…

PUBLIC CORPORATIONS

-…and a fight I could not win. -Mi-rae.

What are you doing? Let's go.

Maybe that's why…

I was so concerned about Su-yeon, who was fighting for what was right…

KIM SU-YEON

…unlike me.

Ms. Kim Su-yeon said…

She lit up a small light

that I didn't even know existed inside of me.

That light led me…

It's all true.

…to jump into a fight I would've normally walked away from.

Exhausted from fighting a hopeless fight,

I grabbed hold of the finger Mi-ji extended,

and I ran away.

And then…

Is staying here an option, by any chance?

…I unexpectedly found another light in the place I had run to.

Someone to take over?

I think he's going to the States

to start working again or something.

I felt ashamed that I had tried to rely on that light,

so I ran away again.

Excuse me.

I went back to the place I had run away from.

EPISODE 9 BACK AGAIN, ONCE MORE

STRAWBERRY FARM

How would you like your hair?

I want hair extensions.

You didn't tell me you were coming.

You didn't answer my calls.

-What's going on? -Well…

This is…

My name is Kim Tae-i, a coworker of Ms. Yu.

You brought someone from work here? Have you lost your mind?

I had no choice. It wasn't something we could talk about outside.

Hey, why would you be talking to someone from work about--

He's Kim Su-yeon's younger brother.

-What? -You know, your senior coworker.

Tae-i is the younger brother of that coworker who blew the whistle.

Why is Su-yeon's brother…

I thought that SY stood for Sang-yeong,

but it was Su-yeon.

He said he joined the company to collect evidence for his sister.

He mentioned a guarantee or something.

Anyway, he's done collecting evidence, so he said you need to make a decision.

-About what? -Reporting the company.

You need to tell the world what those jerks have been doing!

-Why would I do that? -What?

-Because… -Why are you dragging me into this?

Tell him to do that.

Tae-i said he can't do it because he's not someone on the inside.

You're the one who saw what happened to her from the start,

and you're the only one who testified.

He said only you can do this.

Why do I have to fight?

Hey.

Don't you think this is unfair?

The bad guys didn't even get punished,

while the person who spoke up was bullied and then driven out.

You two are doing this because you don't know better,

but this is a fight we can't win.

You won't know if you'll win or lose--

I already fought, and I lost.

I learned the hard way

that I'll be the only one suffering if I fight them.

You want me to go through that again? Why should I?

You said you're going to quit anyway.

But before you do,

you could at least teach the people who bullied you a lesson.

Who said I'm quitting?

-I said I'd think about it. -You're not quitting?

You're going to keep working there?

If you're staying, then more reason to fight.

You're gonna go back to staring at walls and wasting away?

Why do you keep running away when you did nothing wrong?

-So what about you, Mi-ji? -What?

Do you have some plan to get your life together now?

Mi-rae.

Everything seems easy after living as me, right?

Stop butting into my life and focus on your own.

We're done pretending to be each other.

Fine.

Do whatever you want with your life.

SORRY I MADE YOU GO THROUGH THIS ALONE BUT I'M ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU

I heard…

that Su-yeon trained you.

I'm the one who trained Su-yeon.

I look forward to working with you.

Right…

Why'd you even bother…

BACK FROM PATERNITY LEAVE

Why not? She's part of the team.

Gosh.

Here you go.

Here's your latte, and here's your Americano.

-Oh, I… -I already had a cup earlier.

CHECK FOR ERRORS SUBMIT THE EDITED FILE BY SUNDAY

These people are unbelievable.

You can't do this all by yourself.

Just leave it. I'll do it.

I'll help you.

That's what senior coworkers are for.

That's what senior coworkers are for.

Do the same for your junior coworker in the future.

What?

Did I sound like an old geezer?

No.

Thank you.

Let's wrap this up quickly and head home.

You really don't have to take me home.

Come on. We're headed the same way, so hop in.

We worked late together, so let me give you a ride.

PARK MI-RAE

My daughter's name is Mi-rae too.

I was pleasantly surprised when I learned you two had the same name.

When I was on paternity leave, I wanted to come to work so badly.

But now that I'm back in the office, I miss my daughter so much.

Sir…

Here.

What's this?

A gift voucher for gas?

Gosh, it's okay. You don't have to.

Please take it.

I feel bad that you're always helping me and giving me a ride.

Gosh…

I'm doing this for my own peace of mind.

I wasn't there when you really needed help.

Okay, then…

When you buy your coffee in the morning,

bring one for me too, okay?

Okay.

MI-RAE! I LOVE YOU!

Hey.

Mi-ji.

Ma'am.

What brings you here at this hour?

I wanted to say goodbye before going to work.

I'm dropping out of the new HQ project.

What?

Are you backing out because of me? Because I said I'm not selling?

Gosh, of course not.

I just… Hold on.

You decided not to sell the restaurant?

I see. I'm really glad to hear that.

They're the ones in a hurry, not you.

Just take your time deciding.

Are you saying that because you're not part of it now?

Who cares? I'm out, so I can say whatever I want.

Gosh, that feels so good.

Why are you here to say goodbye, though?

Are you going somewhere far away?

No, it's not like that.

It just won't be easy for me to come see you anymore.

So I wanted to say goodbye one last time.

You're kind of special to me.

I know I'm not that special to you, though.

But looking back,

I realized that ever since I came to Seoul,

you were the only person who accepted me for who I am,

regardless of my job or educational background.

To be honest, it's been a really long time since I got to know someone new.

We may not be friends,

but you're kind of special to me.

Have you…

heard of an adult guardianship?

A guardianship?

I've never told you this before.

But I have a son.

You have a son?

He's been living in a facility for a while now.

Because he's not of sound mind.

I need someone to look after him if anything happens to me.

I'm sure you've noticed,

but I have no one around me to ask for help.

If you're up for it,

I'll give you a bit of money for the trouble,

so please think about it.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I didn't know you had family coming.

Ms. Yu, can we talk for a moment?

Ms. Yu, you're not busy right now, are you?

Come with me for a second.

May I go now?

Yes, you may go.

What's going on?

You said she was Mi-rae's twin, but the prints match.

They matched?

Ms. Yu.

Can we talk?

No, I--

It won't take long.

There's something I didn't tell you yesterday.

A few years ago,

my sister called me out of the blue.

She started talking about her company, which I didn't know much about.

Re-do it.

She said she was doing work that wasn't her responsibility,

but her bosses kept making unreasonable demands.

She was told to pressure a third-party evaluator

into giving favorable results for a specific company.

And so she…

She blew the whistle.

Let's skip what we both know.

Over the past three years,

among the payment guarantees provided by KFMC to midsize companies,

the Planning Strategy Team oversaw 20 cases,

and 60% of them were focused on a single company.

Sixty percent.

Can you believe it?

The company recently chosen as the contractor for the new HQ

is that same company, which is headed by our new CEO's relative.

The one that my sister supposedly gave preferential treatment to "voluntarily."

Sihan Construction.

There's obviously something going on.

But no one's doing anything about it.

Someone has to raise the issue.

And that someone is me?

You already said all this yesterday.

You didn't hear about it from me, though.

You showed up late.

You did seem strange lately.

The way you were acting recently was so different from how you usually are.

I never would have imagined that you had a twin.

So…

are you going to blackmail me?

The company would likely be more intrigued by the younger brother

collecting company secrets to avenge his sister

than by baseless rumors about twins switching lives.

But you're not going to tell the company.

I don't plan on telling them either.

If the evidence is that solid,

then you can make a move yourself.

As you just said,

if I get involved,

everyone will focus more

on the younger brother seeking revenge than on the real issue.

You're the only one who can do this, Ms. Yu.

Why me, of all people?

You know how things are at work for me right now.

You're the only one who testified.

The Planning Strategy Team?

They all saw it, but they turned a blind eye.

They can't do anything even if they wanted to

because everything they said would become a lie.

This is a chance to prove that you were right.

I don't want to prove anything.

I know it must have been hard for you all this time, but…

No.

You don't know.

Do you know why those people bullied you?

They did that to hide their wrongdoing.

We should expose them and have them face the consequences.

Don't you resent them for what they did?

I'm saying this because I've been through it.

No matter how clear the evidence is, it's useless if the company covers it up.

-It's a fight we can never win. -We may lose, but…

But it's not right to keep letting those guys win.

I don't care if we win or lose. I don't want to fight anymore.

That's enough.

I'm sure Su-yeon doesn't want her brother getting hurt either.

Why did you help my sister, then?

You didn't help her just so she could win.

You did it because it was the right thing to do.

You're not like those cowards!

You're really amazing, Mi-rae.

On behalf of all the cowards,

I want to apologize to you.

You're a very brave person, Mi-rae.

I'm brave?

I'm not.

I don't even have the courage to be a coward.

Yes.

It was the right thing to do.

But…

if I had known…

that doing the right thing would make things this hard…

then I never would've done it.

Why did I step forward?

I'm nothing.

I should've just stayed out of it.

I keep thinking about it

and regretting it.

And I betray Su-yeon every night.

That's why…

with each passing day,

I hate myself more and more.

No, Director Yoon.

The offer is very tempting, and I'm grateful.

But I still have quite a bit to take care of here.

I'll decide within the week.

Yes, I'll contact you. Okay.

CALLS DIRECTOR YOON

BUSINESS PARTNER

Where did my business partner go?

She left a while ago.

She left?

I told her you were looking for your replacement,

and she bolted, afraid that she'd get stuck with the farm.

Why did you tell her that?

I told you it wasn't confirmed yet.

The person you are trying to reach

has their phone turned off. Please--

I NEED TALK TO YOU IN PERSON

You said you needed to tell me something. Why can't I reach you?

Did something happen?

BUSINESS PARTNER

I'll be in Seoul for a while. I'll get in touch when I'm back.

She's in Seoul right now?

This should be good enough, right?

Who are you texting?

The strawberry farm owner we met that time.

We'll be working together from now on, so I should keep in touch with him.

What will you two be doing?

Farm work.

I'll be taking over from Mi-rae once I'm back.

I should get going now.

Go where?

Duson-ri.

I should go back since Mi-rae is here now.

-Why? -What do you mean?

I'm done filling in for her, so I should go and take back my place.

Now that you're done filling in for her, it's no longer about whose place is where.

You can just stay wherever you want.

That is true, but…

I have nowhere to stay in Seoul,

and I can't stay at Mi-rae's since we fought yesterday.

Then stay here.

What?

If you're going back because you have nowhere to stay,

then sleep here.

But we…

Can… we…

do…

that?

Why not?

Don't confuse the toothpaste with the cleansing foam.

There are more towels here, so use them.

Okay.

What? You don't want to shower?

Of course, I should shower.

I should, for the sake of hygiene.

I'm going to shower.

Okay, then.

Shower.

Thanks.

I'm just sleeping over. Don't make such a big deal out of it.

Just think of this place as a motel. Wait. No!

Don't do that.

Yes?

I'll leave some clothes by the door.

My gosh, thank you. The service here is great!

Stop overreacting. Seriously.

Are you going somewhere?

What? No.

-Are you done washing up? -Yes.

Should I sleep here?

No, you sleep in my bed. I'll sleep here.

You said you have an interview tomorrow, though.

You should sleep comfortably in your bed.

Then whoever gets sleepy first can take the bed.

Okay.

Your hair is still wet.

These are hair extensions, so they get tangled without conditioner.

I'll just let it air dry.

That's right. Your hair was a bit shorter before.

Yes.

-May I take a look? -Sure.

This is so interesting. So that's how they're attached.

Yes… I'm going to remove them all soon.

It's been a while since I've had long hair.

It doesn't suit me, right?

You look pretty.

Your old hairstyle was pretty too.

It looked pretty even when it was shorter.

Hold on…

What are you thinking right now?

What am I thinking?

What do you mean?

Never mind.

Forget it. I'm sorry.

Why?

What are you thinking about?

What? I…

There's so much going through my mind that I don't know where to begin.

Tell me everything.

Well… Am I being too clumsy?

Do I seem pathetic, doing this when I've got nothing going for me?

I don't know how long I'm supposed to hold my breath for.

And have I turned you off and ruined the mood by saying all this?

Why am I even thinking about this right now?

I must seriously have a problem.

I can't stop talking.

I wish I could be as relaxed as you are.

Mi-ji.

Should I tell you what I was thinking?

"Is she only staying

because I asked her to, not because she wants to?"

"What's the latest we can leave to catch the last bus to Duson-ri?"

"When would be the best time to set up the bedding for her?"

"Should I sit on the couch or the floor?"

"If I wear short sleeves,

my scars will show, so should I wear something on top?"

I put this on and took it off three times.

Jeez…

You're an idiot.

None of that bothers me at all.

You don't bother me, either.

No matter what you're thinking…

Regardless of whether you can stop talking or not…

Did you see this?

-What is this? Wow. -Is this for real?

If this is true, it'll be chaos.

It will be really disastrous.

Hey, Ms. Yu. Did you do it?

Pardon?

Did you upload that post on the anonymous company forum?

What are you talking about?

Yes, sir. I just saw it.

Yes, sir.

WELCOME, MS. YU MI-RAE

ANONYMOUS COMPANY FORUM

SIHAN CONSTRUCTION PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT

SIHAN CONSTRUCTION BECOMES CONTRACTOR FOR KFMC'S NEW HQ

POST DELETED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR

How could you let an employee post something like this on your watch?

I'm sorry, sir.

But we deleted the post right away, and it was posted anonymously.

-So in terms of credibility-- -That's not the issue!

People will remember Sihan Construction, thanks to this post!

What if the media catches wind of it before we break ground on the new HQ?

I'll make sure that doesn't happen, sir.

We need to start construction before this causes more talk.

How is the land acquisition going?

-Yes, sir. -Mr. Lee.

You're sure that we'll be able to buy Rosa Restaurant, right?

You can never guarantee anything 100%.

I'm doing my best to increase our chances, so don't worry.

We don't have time for such…

I'll give you a month.

If we can't buy it by then, we won't wait anymore.

What will you do then?

The company will use another law firm for everything, not just this case.

You know how much our company pays Wongeun every year, right?

Do you have the power to do that as a director?

This isn't coming from me.

Our CEO ordered this.

I'm not threatening you right now. I'm begging you for your help.

You make the impossible happen.

The fate of our new HQ is in your hands.

A month.

This means I need to make a risky move.

Will you be okay with that?

Why did you make that post?

You said you wanted no part in this,

so I made a move by myself.

So you thought making an anonymous post was the best move?

It was deleted within a day.

Did you really think you could fight the company like that?

Stop this before you get sued.

It has nothing to do with you.

It has nothing to do with me?

Haven't you noticed that people think I wrote that post?

This is why I said I didn't want to fight.

People say, "We're in it together," but I still get blamed for everything.

It's not like you wrote the post yourself.

I'll be the one getting sued, so…

That…

doesn't matter to people.

Even if you get sued, people will still suspect me

because they already think I'm capable of doing that.

No one cares…

Sir!

Hey, Mi-rae. Over here.

No one cares about the truth.

Say hello.

This is my favorite junior coworker from my team.

She's our ace.

Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you. -Hello.

SIHAN CONSTRUCTION MANAGER CHO NAM-HO

I was going to call a driver,

but I guess I was too drunk and called you instead.

I'm sorry.

Why don't you hop in my car since you're here anyway?

I'll just drive.

You?

I'm a good driver. I'll drive you home.

Okay. Let's go.

Sir, you should put on your seatbelt.

Sir?

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were asleep…

What are you doing?

I thought you liked me too.

Pardon?

Wait, Mi-rae. I mean, Ms. Yu.

Wait. Stop.

I…

I admire you as a senior coworker. I don't see you in that way.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

I'm drunk, so I'm not thinking straight.

Damn it.

I must've lost my mind.

Just hit me once.

Yes, you know what?

Just hit me until you feel better.

Sir, please don't do this.

No, I…

What…

What should I do for you to forgive me?

I'll do whatever you want.

Let's…

Let's just pretend this never happened.

What?

I said,

let's just pretend this never happened.

Are you… sure about that?

I don't want things to get weird between us over this.

I just want us

to be good coworkers like we have been until now.

Yes, right.

I understand. Let's do that.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Thanks.

Ms.…

Ms. Yu.

Thank you, but please stop doing this.

I don't feel comfortable.

Pardon?

Sir, what is wrong with you?

Why are you acting like this?

I want to ask you that.

I think I'm acting appropriately right now.

If you keep acting like this…

then people will think I'm being weird.

If this is because of what happened,

we agreed to forget about it and carry on as usual.

Ms. Yu.

I'm a married man.

People are watching us. Please don't cross the line.

I'd rather not meet privately like this anymore, either.

Am I your first customer today?

That's right. You don't serve solo diners.

So…

Did you give it some thought?

If you don't feel comfortable speaking one-on-one,

shall I ask Ho-su to come?

Why have you come back?

I told you I have no intention of selling.

I wanted to give you one last chance.

You're going to sell it anyway. If you do it voluntarily,

then everyone will be happy.

Are you saying you'll take it from me if I refuse?

That's what thugs do.

I will create circumstances…

that will force you to sell.

I will uncover secrets you want to hide,

expose them,

and determine whether you have the right to the restaurant.

Gosh.

Let's stop before it gets that far.

That way, you can keep protecting the things you've always protected.

Things like… your secret

or your son at the Seonham Mental Nursing Home.

How did you find out about that?

Who knows?

Maybe there are many people around you who are helping me.

A guardianship?

Here.

So…

I'll give you until tomorrow to think about it.

Why are you so nervous? It's not a formal interview.

You were recommended, right?

I don't know. I just have a bad feeling.

Should I have just said no?

I didn't think you had moments like this too.

Let me.

You look decent now.

It's more crooked now.

Are you going to see Ms. Ro-sa today?

Yes, I should.

I'm supposed to give her an answer by today.

What did you decide to do?

-Are you going to tell her the truth? -Yes.

What if she gets really mad, though?

What if she calls the company

and reports me to the police, and I end up in jail?

-And I-- -Don't go that far.

Don't be so worried. Remember what I said.

There must be a reason

why she asked you for that favor but couldn't ask me.

And you're telling her the truth because you want to help her.

She let the lie I told Ji-yun slide before,

so since I'm doing this to help, she'll forgive me, right?

Your honesty is your best weapon, Mi-ji.

Right.

How do I look?

You look like…

someone who failed the interview already.

Hey, stop being so scared.

If they don't hire you, it's their loss.

Even if you don't get the job, don't cry until you see me.

How many times are you going to tell me that I'm going to fail?

Jeez. I'm trying to cheer you up.

Ho-su, you've got this!

You can do it! Go for it!

Yes.

I'm Bae Gi-cheol. Please have a seat.

I'm here, ma'am.

I…

I've thought about the guardianship you mentioned.

But…

I want to be honest with you about something first.

Go ahead.

I'm…

not Yu Mi-rae.

What?

I'm her twin.

Something happened, so I was pretending to be her.

So what happened to the girl who was here before?

That…

was me.

It was me all along, from the first day I met you.

So?

Is that it? You don't have anything else to tell me?

Pardon?

What…

Go.

Don't ever come back here again.

Ma'am, are you mad?

I just wanted to help…

Why help when there's nothing more to dig up?

Did that lawyer tell you to do that?

Lawyer?

Which lawyer?

You're really gonna keep acting clueless?

How would the lawyer have found out where my son is, if it weren't for you?

Ma'am, it wasn't me. I never mentioned that to anyone.

Then who did?

You're the only one I trusted and mentioned it to.

Ma'am…

I'm such an idiot.

Even after going through it all those years…

I had no one else to turn to, so I trusted you…

You should go now.

Let's stop all these lies here and now.

Ma'am.

I swear I haven't lied about anything else.

I meant everything I said and did every time I saw you…

Ma'am.

I don't know you.

I don't even know who you are!

Get out right now!

Mi-ji, I think I did well.

-What do you mean? -The interview.

I think I got the job. I'm having lunch with the executives tomorrow.

Really?

See? I told you that you'd do well.

You're right. I was worried for nothing.

What about you? Did you tell her?

Of course, I did.

Really? What did she say?

She was very surprised,

but it turned out fine.

I'm glad.

We were both worried about today, but things worked out for both of us.

When do you apply for guardianship? Before you go to court--

Hey, that's not important right now.

You're employed again!

Let's have a party.

It's not even confirmed yet, though. Let's celebrate tomorrow.

No, let's party today.

What do we need first for the party?

Let's buy a cake first.

We should get party poppers and balloons too.

And party hats too.

I thought it was strange that she agreed to back out of the project so easily.

I told you that Mi-rae would cause problems.

But we don't know who made that post yet.

What other employee would write a post like that?

We should've nipped it in the bud.

We put it off, and now it's coming back to haunt us.

Hey.

Get rid of Mi-rae.

Pardon? But…

-How-- -You know how to handle her.

We've got to act now. We don't have time to just sit around.

If this gets any messier…

won't you be in trouble too?

This is the evidence I've collected until now.

Why are you giving this to me? I told you that I'm staying out of this.

Just throw it away, then.

It's useless unless you use it, anyway.

Why do you keep running away when you've done nothing wrong?

I hadn't intended to run away from the start.

I actually tried to just hang in there,

clinging to that faint belief that at least I was in the right.

Ms. Yu?

I used to work here.

You thought I wouldn't hear about what you've been up to at the office?

How dare you seduce a married man!

Honey, what are you doing? Please stop.

Let go of me. You keep being too soft.

That's why she's not getting the message!

Come on. Please stop.

PS TEAM HOMEWRECKER GOT DRAGGED

HUMAN RESOURCES

We're a public corporation, so we have a responsibility

to maintain professional conduct.

We'll let this incident slide with a warning.

But please stop making--

Why am I getting punished when I'm the victim?

For assault cases, the parties should settle the issue among themselves.

For a case like this,

you can't claim that you're an innocent victim…

What kind of case is this?

Pardon?

It wasn't an affair.

It was sexual harassment.

I'm the victim.

Then why didn't you report it as soon as the incident occurred?

At that moment, a seed of doubt was planted inside me.

Did I do something wrong?

At the time, I didn't want to cause any trouble.

We spoke to members of your team.

They said that even after the incident, you kept buying him coffee.

After an incident like that, it's not normal to keep buying coffee

for someone who harassed you, is it?

At the time, I thought it was best to maintain our relationship as usual--

But I heard

that you two worked overtime together all the time,

and you carpooled too.

People also said that you were more friendly with him

than with the others.

Are you sure you didn't have a personal relationship with him?

Did I really do nothing wrong?

Did I give him the wrong idea?

Did I really have no part in how this all went down?

Jeez, don't worry. It's nothing to worry about.

Just relax.

She's just making a fool of herself.

Okay?

Am I…

really the victim?

SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASE

I'm sorry I'm late.

When the onslaught of questions started…

I had to run away.

I couldn't answer a single question.

Because more than anyone else,

I was doubting myself.

CONGRATS ON GETTING A JOB

So what about you, Mi-ji?

Everything seems easy after living as me, right?

I don't know you. I don't even know who you are!

Ho-su.

Yes, Mi-ji. What is it?

Your hair…

I think I should go.

Go where? At this hour?

Duson-ri.

Why the rush? Did something happen back home?

Nothing's happened.

I just don't have a reason to stay in Seoul anymore.

Of course you do.

You need to register as a guardian and…

I lied.

I couldn't even talk to her about the guardianship.

Ms. Ro-sa…

got very…

very angry.

It was probably because she was shocked.

She said she doesn't know who I am now.

I don't know what I was expecting.

It all started with a lie in the first place.

This all belongs to Mi-rae.

It was only possible because I was Mi-rae.

I want to go back to where I belong.

I have no reason to stay here anymore.

Mi-ji.

You belong where you choose to stay.

We can come up with a reason together.

I'd love to do that, but…

But for some reason, I feel like I don't belong here.

I feel like there's no place for me in Seoul.

Then let's go.

Let's leave as soon as the sun comes up.

Get some sleep until then, okay?

Mi-ji.

What are you doing? Why aren't you going in?

Is the gate locked?

No, I just…

Are you okay?

Did you fight with your mom?

Gosh, I'm no match for her. I can't even put up a fight.

I was just staring at the gate,

wondering if it's always looked this worn-out.

Oh, that? If you repaint it, it will look brand new in no time.

I guess I should repaint it sometime. I'm going to keep living here anyway.

Well, have a good day.

Okay, see you.

Bye.

Mom, I'm home.

You're back early. I thought you'd stay longer.

No, I just came back.

Mi-rae is at work anyway, so what would I do by myself in Seoul?

Wow, there were so many people that everything felt chaotic.

Why? Did something happen?

No, what would happen to me?

Did you go somewhere?

Seoul.

I'm feeling a little carsick because I've not taken the bus in so long.

Mom, I'm going to go sleep. Don't wake me up.

STRAWBERRY FARM

I'm sorry. I was in Seoul. What should I start with?

I guess Mi-rae left?

Can I work instead of her?

Of course, you can. I hired you because of your resume, Ms. Seoul.

My name is Mi-ji.

Mi-ji.

Mi-ji. The name's finally starting to stick.

Let's go, Mi-ji.

Okay.

Ok-hui.

I heard you got hurt. Are you okay?

Did the kids switch places?

What?

Was Mi-ji actually Mi-rae this whole time?

Did you know about it?

-You did. -Ok-hui.

Jeez, forget it. Whatever.

Ok-hui.

Don't…

Don't scold the kids too much.

Mom.

What do you all take me for?

Ok-hui…

Ok-hui…

I guess Mi-rae

has decided what to do, considering she's back in Seoul.

I don't know. That's her business.

She doesn't tell me every single detail.

How does it feel to be back?

Crappy.

Then why did you return? You could've just stayed in Seoul.

Because I felt even crappier staying there.

I didn't do anything wrong,

but I felt uneasy for some reason. I felt like I needed to come back.

I guess I'm just destined to just live here forever.

Don't you feel a little like this?

Like a runaway teenager bouncing around friends' places.

I know that feeling too.

I don't think you have any idea.

You studied abroad and lived in Seoul.

It doesn't matter if it's the States or Seoul.

Anyone who's away from a place they care about feels that way.

Do you still feel that way?

Not anymore.

The reason I cared about the place is gone now.

Don't get the wrong idea. I mean my grandfather, not Mi-rae.

I think this is a matter of the heart, not destiny.

That's why I don't open up to people very easily.

Because I might feel like I've run away again.

A&A has been focusing

on barrier-free access for the past few years.

And we're continuing to make improvements to the office building.

Among major law firms, we're also the most actively involved

in public interest cases.

You seem like the perfect person

to represent our company's goals, Mr. Lee.

Me?

Gosh, you two need to stop already.

I told them why you ended up leaving Wongeun,

and I guess they were very impressed.

Of course we were.

You defied orders and left Wongeun of all places

to protect the weaker party and not the client. My gosh.

It's just like a movie.

Oh, that's--

Plus, I heard the senior lawyer you clashed with was Mr. Lee Chung-gu.

I've heard so many rumors about him.

What's he actually like?

I tend to be a bit oblivious when it comes to rumors--

He's famous for handling sensitive cases while using his disability as a shield.

How can he be so cruel to the weak when he's vulnerable too?

It's worse because he actually knows what it's like.

He makes us look good in comparison, so it works for us.

A senior and a junior lawyer, both with disabilities,

making completely opposite choices.

It's a great story.

Sir.

Mr. Lee isn't like that.

He may use cheap methods sometimes,

but he doesn't use his disability as a shield.

He's not like that.

-What those two were saying earlier-- -And…

I'm not like that, either.

I didn't step up to protect the weak.

I just couldn't ignore a client's wrongdoing, so if anything,

I'm not fit to be a lawyer.

Justice, disability…

If you're looking for someone to represent things like that,

then I don't think I'm the right person for the job.

Then, uh,

if you don't represent things like the vulnerable or justice,

what do you think you represent?

I don't think I've ever really thought about that.

Then think about it,

and if you want to work for us, call me.

Come to think of it, it seems like we were the ones being interviewed.

I should get going.

I'm back.

Mom, what are you doing here?

Come here. We need to talk.

I'm tired from work. Let's talk later.

Mi-ji.

Are you going to keep treating me like an idiot?

I know you switched places with Mi-rae.

Were you ever going to tell me?

How could you be so brazen?

What were you thinking, doing something like that?

It's nothing serious. We just switched places briefly for fun.

For fun?

Do you really think I'm an idiot?

Why did you switch places?

Did something happen to Mi-rae?

Nothing happened to Mi-rae.

And I didn't ruin her life. Happy now?

Mi-rae is not the type to go along with your plans

when everything is okay.

-What happened? -Jeez, it's all over now!

You couldn't even tell us apart, so why make such a big deal about it now?

What did you say?

Just because I can't tell you two apart, it's okay to treat me like an idiot?

Do you even consider me family?

Your bedridden grandma knew about this, so why didn't I?

Do you two even see me as your mom?

So what about you? Do you see me as your daughter?

What?

You're always going on and on about Mi-rae.

I'm your daughter too.

Why don't you ask if I'm okay?

You were nice to me at the hospital, thinking I was Mi-rae.

Do you hate me now that you know it's me?

What in the world are you talking about?

You two are both my daughters--

We're not the same to you!

You can't even tell us apart.

What's so different between me and Mi-rae?

I don't even expect to be treated the same way.

Why can't you just look at me once for a change?

Hey.

Do you think my mom was interested in me when I was growing up?

This is all I learned growing up, so what do you expect me to do?

How am I supposed to be a good mom?

I just can't figure it out, so why don't you tell me?

You're a daughter too.

You may not know how to be a good mom,

but you must understand how I feel.

You kept waiting for Grandma to notice you too.

What do you want me to do?

Should I stare at you all day? Is that what you want?

Forget it. I can't talk to you about anything.

Hey, what do you mean by that?

I'm asking because I don't know. I'll do what you want me to do.

I said, forget it!

This is why I didn't want to come back here.

Then you should've stayed in Seoul! Why did you come back?

Because you're here by yourself.

If I leave, then you'll be left all alone and you'll have to care for Grandma alone.

Hey.

Why would you worry about that?

I don't know. Jeez. It's not like we have a good relationship…

I'm annoyed too.

I want to live freely too, without thinking about things like that.

But I can't help it, so I have no choice.

Mi-ji, no one ever asked you to worry about those things.

I may not seem like a mom to you,

but why would you worry about things like that?

Then who will?

Who else would worry about that besides me?

I might suck at everything else,

but being here is something I can do.

Of course you can do other things.

I told you countless times that you're capable of everything and anything.

Why do you keep trying to live like me?

Why do you keep making me a poor excuse for a mom?

Why are you crying?

You should go.

Go wherever you want and do whatever you want.

I'll stay here, so you should leave, Mi-ji.

Why would you worry about those things

and break my heart like this?

Don't cry.

Mom, I'm sorry. Please stop crying.

I'm sorry.

-Mom. -Hurry up and go.

I told you to go.

Go wherever you want. Don't worry about things here and just go.

What is it this time?

-How many times do I-- -Do you want to go see my sister?

Right now.

Are we…

really going to go see Su-yeon right now?

There's something I didn't tell you earlier.

You probably won't be able to see my sister.

Pardon?

She's in her room.

It's been about half a year since she last left it.

But she'll probably hear everything you say if you talk outside her door.

Su-yeon.

Ms. Yu is here.

I'll let you two talk.

Su-yeon, it's me.

Mi-rae.

You came early.

It's your first day of work.

I'm Kim Su-yeon.

Why are you here like this?

You left, so you should've forgotten about everything and moved on.

Is it because you resent what happened?

I came to tell you that I can't help you this time.

You know how it is.

This is a fight we'll never win.

To be honest, I don't even know why I need to fight.

I can barely take care of myself,

so I'm not interested in punishing anyone.

I'm scared and tired.

You left because you were scared and tired too.

I get it, so…

So please try to understand me just this once.

Your brother worked very hard.

But I'm ruining everything.

I'm sorry.

No.

Su-yeon?

I'm the one who ruined everything.

I'm so sorry, Mi-rae.

Why…

are you apologizing?

I ran away by myself…

even though I knew how hard things would be for you.

I'm just as bad as those people.

That's why I'm so ashamed,

and I'm sorry.

But why are you sorry?

Why are you apologizing?

The people who should feel sorry aren't even apologizing.

No.

It was my fault.

What was your fault?

You're a victim.

You did the right thing, so why are you here like this?

You did nothing wrong, so why are you here like this?

You're back late.

I thought you might have moved,

but I guess you still live here.

Why have you come all this way to see me?

You kept avoiding me, so I had no choice.

Can you spare me a few minutes?

Say what you need to here.

I'm sorry, but please move to the Childal branch for a bit.

The Childal branch? Why should I?

What do you mean why?

You pulled out of the new HQ project without any warning.

It's a high-profile project,

so I guess the higher-ups can't just let this slide.

What are you talking about? You said you'd take care of it.

You said if I backed out of the project,

you'd make sure I wouldn't be penalized.

You told me this yourself.

But if you're not backing out…

PROMISED NO REPERCUSSIONS REFER TO RECORDING

…because you're worried about the repercussions,

then I can take care of that for you.

That was before the post was made.

You acted like you were going to let this go quietly.

Why did you make a post like that?

I didn't upload that post.

Ms. Yu. Do you expect me to believe that?

Even if you didn't write it, the higher-ups already think you did.

And honestly, the company was ready to take legal action,

but I talked them out of it, on the condition that you go to Childal.

I'm not the reason the company can't take legal action.

You didn't learn from what happened to Su-yeon.

Don't pick a fight you can't win. You're only going to get hurt.

Move to the Childal branch for now.

I'll help you come back once things quiet down.

By that time, I'll be a team leader.

And I'll have the power to transfer you back to HQ.

This is just like last time.

What?

The day you tried to kiss me,

you got down on your knees and begged me to forgive you when we were alone.

Then you suddenly acted like you were the victim in front of others.

Do you really think I'll fall for the same trick twice?

Let go! Let go of it!

Let go! Give me that!

DON'T SAVE

Hey!

Damn it.

Mi-rae, why are you so naive?

Let go! Give me that!

Damn it.

You can do this crap all you want, but no one will believe you.

This isn't like some kind of truth-telling game.

It's basically a battle of reputations.

-Let go! -You still don't get it?

No matter what you try to do, no one is on your side.

No matter what I do, you'll end up getting blamed for everything.

No, I did nothing wrong.

Damn it.

Hey!

You jerk!

Darn it.

You bastard! Because of you, I…

-Mi-ji! Hey, Mi-ji! -Because of you, Mi-rae…

You jerk!

Damn it.

Hey, are you okay? Wait.

-Why, you little! -Hey…

Hey, hit him a little more.

You really…

No one's coming.

PEOPLE'S POLICE

Hey, Ho-su.

I'm the perpetrator's lawyer. Is it okay if I sit in?

Does having a lawyer show up change the fact that you assaulted me?

I refuse to settle.

Mr. Park Sang-yeong was previously accused

of sexual harassment against Ms. Yu Mi-rae within their company.

That same individual came to her house, grabbed her wrist, and threatened her.

So shouldn't this be considered a rescue instead?

Hey, look.

I believe Ms. Yu Mi-ji's action was a lawful and justified act.

Is it true that you were accused?

No, that was just a false accusation.

She accused an innocent person of sexual harassment,

but she couldn't even follow through and dropped it midway.

Is that true?

This time, I won't drop the charges.

I want to press charges against Mr. Park for sexual harassment and defamation.

The void left behind by my self-doubt

began to fill with courage.

Why does it feel like I've run away from home again?

With that courage, I take a heavy step forward…

SEOUL

…into a fear I've already faced,

one I know all too well.

1 HOUR 58 MINUTES 119 KM

Yes, ma'am. Did you decide what to do?

No matter what future awaits us at the end of the fight…

I have no intention of selling.

So that's what you decided to do.

Okay, I understand. Well, we'll meet again somewhere else.

Yes, Reporter Im.

I'm going to send an email right now.

It's a bit urgent, so release an article tomorrow.

THE WOMAN WHO STOLE HER FRIEND'S LIFE

Thank you for always helping me out.

Yes.

YU MI-RAE

I'll do it my way, at my own pace.

I don't want to lose a fight I already lost once.

Did she just scoff?

The restaurant, assets, and her only son.

They should all go back to the rightful owner.

Are you in there?

It's a violation of privacy, and illegal.

It's not the time to worry about legal stuff.

Not everyone can ask for help.

I finally found you.

Se-jin?

So this is your usual look.

Let's go. We don't have much time.
