Do you notice anything different

about my skin this session?

I do, ma'am.

I've noticed your skin is a lot bouncier.

You must be taking good care of it at home.

I mean, doesn't it look even better than usual?

Of course it does, ma'am.

Your skin looks incredibly smooth.

Would you like to take a look?

-Here you go. -I'm not talking about the massage.

Didn't you notice the natural collagen?

The natural collagen, ma'am?

The natural collagen from my husband's love.

Of course I've noticed it.

You always look beautiful to me.

Not always, but recently.

Yes. I noticed it, ma'am.

You're so annoying.

Get out.

Ms. Kim.

Book an appointment with Dr. Oh, the plastic surgeon.

And I want a list of the top cosmetic gynecologists.

So would you like

a list of cosmetic surgeons instead of Dr. Oh, Mrs. Han?

No, I want a list of gynecologists, not cosmetic surgeons.

I've never heard of a cosmetic gynecologist, that's all.

Have you never heard of vaginoplasty?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Han. I'll look into it right away.

Gosh, you're so slow.

Why are you all so slow?

Get out!

We can't let anything slip past us.

The market cap for LY is 500 trillion won.

Even if they tossed away that money one by one,

it would take longer than 500 years.

He has all that money, yet he's only paying you as a director?

It's not even close to being enough.

Do keep an eye over Yoon-gyeom.

As long as I'm next to him,

he won't be able to do a thing without your permission.

KANG YOON-GYEOM INVESTIGATION REPORT

CONNECTIONS

MADAM JUNG

By the way,

who the hell is this Madam Jung?

Why is her name on his investigation report?

She's always making a big deal out of nothing.

She works for a members-only club

where they meet customers in the company president's office.

And she's always bragging that the president of LY is her regular.

It's good advertisement, sir.

You see this?

Now everybody wants a piece of him.

I think you can just ignore her, sir.

Yoon-gyeom's never had any scandals related to women.

Yes, I know how he is.

But for now, he's got too many pests around him.

You've got to give them a warning every once in a while.

Give them a warning, sir?

Come on, really?

She was just advertising her business, that's all.

Gosh, you can be so cold-blooded.

Fine.

I'm leaving, Dad.

I left a newly-released trench coat in the closet.

Oh, yes?

See? My daughter is the best.

Gosh, you're both making me feel left out.

I'm jealous of you,

but I'm jealous of you too, So-ra.

Your father is cleaning up for you

just so that you can be content.

You mean the madam from the hostess club?

It just may be her.

I slept with my husband.

He's pretty amazing.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Aren't you jealous?

I...

am jealous, ma'am.

I'm not going to call you for a while.

But don't let me catch you with anybody else.

Yes, ma'am.

It's from CL.

It's custom-made only for one special person.

The strap has your initials on it, Dam-ri!

Mr. Kang ordered it himself.

Mr. Kang did?

He's worried about No-eul's injury.

He asked me to apologize on his behalf.

I gave him a little nudge when he was deciding on the gift.

How do you like it?

How did you know what I like?

I paid attention, that's all.

I worked as a reporter for Maximums once.

You mean the luxury magazine?

Then you must know all about the fashion shows and new releases.

Of course.

-That's nice. -I guess that's nice.

I'm assuming that you'd want Mr. Kang to apologize in person too.

That would be great, but...

He does seem quite busy.

Well, I guess this is enough.

I envy you.

I wish So-ra's daughter would fight my kid too.

What are you talking about?

Anyway,

even thinking about So-ra still pisses me off.

Right?

I know a way

to mess with Ms. Han.

Would you like to hear about it?

Who sent these?

She's a parent from the kindergarten's Parent Association, ma'am.

Hello, Ms. Han.

I'm the temporary parent representative.

Ms. Eun Dam-ri sent me to apologize on her behalf.

Please forgive her.

Why couldn't she come here herself?

I assume she was afraid that you'd reject her apology.

She seems like the type to get scared easily.

There are so many parent events to arrange,

but nothing is getting done.

We need you to come back, Ms. Han.

You're our representative, after all.

What do you mean? We didn't even get to vote on it.

I called everyone as the temporary representative,

and they all voted for you.

Will you take charge of the Parent Association?

These are recycled shoes, aren't they?

Recycled shoes?

Rakatod's hired a new designer

who really cares about the environment.

Their new designs look beautiful too.

They go perfectly with your sense of noblesse oblige.

Oh, my.

Your feet are so pretty too.

Mr. Kang sure is lucky.

And you sure are wise with your words.

Please let me know if you need anything.

I can assure you I'll come in handy when you go shopping.

What's Yoon-gyeom doing there?

He didn't take Secretary Cha with him,

so I'm not sure why.

I assume it has to do with your upcoming birthday, ma'am.

You think so?

I'm certain this is La-el.

I remember her eyes very clearly.

I wonder why...

she's pretending not to know me.

I mean, why did she take on another identity?

This has got to be related to Mr. Kang, right?

Can you look into her family that she's living with right now?

She said herself that she's not Lee La-el, sir.

Ms. Kim.

Am I supposed to ask somebody else to do it then?

No, sir.

I was just worried, that's all.

But if you truly wish for it, of course I'll do it.

Thank you.

So the rumors are true.

Jung Ye-na had an affair with Park Jin-woo?

There are screenshots of their conversations online.

I'll send them to you too.

I couldn't believe my eyes either.

This is why you can't judge a book by its cover.

I mean, Dam-ri and Ji-hui look all graceful,

but everybody knows they like to go clubbing.

I thought so.

They might be rich, but they're not like you, Ms. Han.

They're like cheap knockoffs.

That's a perfect comparison.

"Knockoffs."

That's hilarious.

Look in the mirror, Ms. Han.

This is a nice look.

-I like it. -Why don't you hire a model

who has the same body type as you?

You can make her try on your clothes, and it's more objective.

I heard the female royalties in Britain all have one.

You're worth ten shopping assistants.

At your service, Ms. Han.

You know, Liyan has a lot of events.

Do you want to be the vice-representative?

We can prepare for events together,

and throw in some chitchat too.

What do you think?

It would be my pleasure, Ms. Han.

I mean, Representative Han.

I think I got too excited. What should I call you?

Just call me So-ra.

Call me Ms. Han when we're in public.

So-ra.

-Where's Yoon-gyeom? -He's in the study, ma'am.

Bring some wine to the study,

and make the bedroom look romantic.

Yes, ma'am.

-Honey. -What is it?

Honey.

Let's have a glass of wine.

You want to invite Mr. Jang and his wife to Sehunjeong?

I don't know.

I've never invited a subordinate there before.

Don't think of him as a subordinate,

but rather as a fellow parent.

The wife seems smart,

so I'm considering having her work for me.

I want her to come join us there.

Darling.

I know that our parents want another grandchild,

but I want one more than anyone else.

A son who's just like you.

Honey.

Here you go.

Thanks, Jin-wook.

Really, So-ra?

Are we really invited to Sehunjeong?

Isn't that the name

of Chairman Kang's vacation house?

Of course I'd love to!

I'll start practicing for some games.

By the way, what's the name of the music you sent me?

He was too busy to do anything romantic,

but the mood was nice.

Mr. Kang liked it?

Okay, So-ra.

Thank you for the invite.

Good night.

Did you really get invited to the chairman's vacation house?

-Did we really? -Yes.

You should call me the Master Planner from now on.

You're not kidding, right?

Thanks so much, babe.

Thank you, Ms. Jang.

I need to thank your ancestors.

Actually, I'll bow to thank you right now.

Thank you so much.

There's no need to thank me.

DIRECTOR KIM SUN-BIN

An invitation to Mr. Kang's vacation house is an incredible chance.

You must find his account book or safe.

The safe has to be at either Han Pan-ro's house,

Kang Yoon-gyeom's house, or at Sehunjeong.

I'll find a way to get into their house.

I'll use Han So-ra.

A woman like Han So-ra

can betray you in a heartbeat, so you must be careful.

I will, Ms. Jang.

NO CALLER ID

There's no caller ID.

Hello.

This is Kang Yoon-gyeom.

I should have apologized to No-eul's mother sooner.

I overstepped my boundaries to interfere.

I apologize, sir.

Don't be.

I should be thanking you instead.

Right,

Ms. Han invited us to Sehunjeong.

Will I see you...

at the vacation house?

I can't wait.

I meant I can't wait for the event.

I see.

I'll drop by when you settle on the date.

-All right then. -All right.

DIRECTOR KIM SUN-BIN

I can't believe Mr. Kang gave you a personal call.

He's known for managing his private life very strictly.

La-el.

You're doing a great job.

I think he might have a secondary mobile,

seeing that Han So-ra tracks his first phone.

And the fact that he's hiding his caller ID...

It seems he's aware that he's being tracked.

The greatest chaebol in Korea

is being watched.

He may live in a prison of his own choosing

before he falls into the hell that we engineered for him.

I told you, Chairman Kang isn't here.

If he goes missing

whenever I'm supposed to give him my report,

he must be avoiding me, isn't he?

I wouldn't know, sir.

Goodness.

All right then.

Mr. Han, you have no idea what I'm going through!

Your son-in-law keeps leaving me out!

It's pissing me off, but what can I do?

I'll have to find a good solution.

Yes, sir. Of course.

When I open my second store in Cheongdam-dong,

you'll be seeing me more often, so make sure you're free.

We'll have to open another store thanks to you, Ms. Jung.

See you around.

They say Chairman Kang's vacation house is like a palace.

I guess the rumors are true.

I can't believe this place is in the middle of Seoul.

Is that a new face I see, Yoon-gyeom?

Hey.

Hello, Mr. Jang.

Thank you so much for inviting us, sir.

She's a good friend of mine.

You made a new friend, Ms. Han?

I didn't think you made such things.

Hello, you're my type.

Come on, Sang-hyeon!

Please carry on.

We're going to look around a bit more.

Okay, then.

Hello, Ms. Jung.

-Park my car, will you? -Yes, ma'am.

NO CALLER ID

-Who is this? -It's me, Madam Jung.

-Excuse me? -Come on. It's me.

Who is this?

Isn't this your first time?

How are you better than us

when we've been playing for years now?

I have luck on my side tonight.

Pretending to be a beginner while having a great poker face.

Damn, you're good at this, aren't you?

Don't you agree, Yoon-gyeom?

Ms. Han is the real master here.

I had good hands,

but Ms. Han played very well despite her hands not being as good.

Did you hear that?

Sounds like you're enjoying your husband's hobby, Ms. Han.

Let me focus until the end of the game.

Go ahead.

I'm not sure about this one.

I'm not checking my cards.

I'm going all-in.

Really?

Goodness, look at that!

I know Yoon-gyeom really well.

Judging by his face right now,

he either has a high pair or an airline.

Why don't you only bet half?

Are you giving up on the game?

I'm not giving up, but fighting for victory.

The game will never end

unless you risk everything that you have.

I'll go all-in too.

Hey, Yoon-gyeom.

All-in.

Wait.

Hold on a second.

The sole winner

will be taking all of these chips, okay?

All right.

Okay, let's check your cards.

I have a two pair.

What about you, honey?

Gosh, I'm dying to see the results.

Yoon-gyeom, reveal your cards.

Honey!

If he wins, it's my money anyway.

Wow, is this what you really wanted, Ms. Han?

Are you two gambling partners or what?

Congratulations, sir.

Wait.

You haven't checked my cards yet.

There's no way you can beat an aces full.

You're right.

This isn't a match I can win.

But since I've bet everything I have, let me test my luck tonight.

Wait.

King, full house.

That's a good hand,

but you still won't beat Yoon-gyeom.

No way. This is insane!

It's four of a kind, Yoon-gyeom!

I've never seen anything like this.

Aces full house and four of a kind together?

No way.

Unbelievable.

With such great beauty,

nobody would say anything even if you were a card sharp.

If you really are a card sharp, please do go easy on me.

Mr. Jang.

How can I find a wife like yours?

Well, I honestly don't know if that's possible.

Good game.

Sir.

This seems to be an urgent call.

A car accident?

Madam Jung was hit by a car.

It's just like how the singer Ji Hyeon-a

was attacked a while ago.

Let's talk tomorrow.

Sir.

I wanted to thank you.

Thank me for what?

You trusted me to mediate between the parents,

and you also invited me here.

It's a tango song.

I played it myself.

They say that two types of people are attracted to the tango.

Those who like it

and those who need it.

What kind of people need the tango?

I'd say it's people who seek to be healed.

The tango is about communication.

You heal your wounds through other people.

When I danced the tango with you,

I felt an inexplicable connection.

Have you heard of the term "twin flame"?

Like a twin who once shared the same soul,

it refers to two lovers who recognize each other the moment they meet.

That night, I imagined

that was what meeting my twin flame would feel like.

I felt a void inside you,

and I felt the wanting to fill it for you.

What are you doing?

I asked, what are you doing right now?

That night,

it felt so passionate when I danced with you...

I'm not an idiot.

You've certainly been memorable, Ms. Kim.

So, have you been analyzing me all this time?

You think I'm your twin flame?

You think I'm your other half who needs to be healed?

Have you noticed a need for me to be healed that I'm unaware of?

I don't need any healing nor do I have any wounds,

so I am quite astounded.

You know, I can sense these things.

I can sense danger.

And I sense danger from you.

I really don't like it.

I don't feel anything toward you,

so don't try to get any closer to me.

Do you understand?

I'll remember that you don't like being analyzed.

I think you'll like the song though.

If you can sense danger,

I can sense the way men feel about me.

You said you don't feel anything toward me.

Then why did you come to my studio?

Why did you invite me tonight and call me over the phone?

They say that one of the twin flames is a runner

and the other one is a chaser.

I don't know if we're twin flames,

but it looks like you're running away for sure.

What took you so long?

You look so pale.

I just started my period.

Are you okay staying here?

Hello, everyone!

Pardon me.

Hey, where's the chairman?

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

Where's my friend, Mr. Kang?

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

I don't remember sending you an invite.

Mr. Kang!

It's so hard for me to see you, sir,

even though I'm supposed to be the COO.

I knew you'd never invite me to Sehunjeong,

so I just decided to come on my own.

Mr. Kang.

You're so mean.

Why did you...

Hold on. What am I saying?

I must be drunk. I'm talking nonsense.

I was just kidding, sir.

Can you look after that guy?

He needs to be on good terms with Yoon-gyeom.

Are you okay, babe?

I'm fine.

Wow, I've only heard of this place.

Boy, this place is just wonderful.

Mr. Kang.

I would love to be one of your close associates too.

I'll see you another time.

I just got here, and you're kicking me out already?

Come on. That's kind of harsh.

I mean, do you have any idea what I went through

to clean up after Madam Jung...

My goodness, I'm so drunk.

Oh gosh! I've got to snap out of it.

Come on, don't be like that.

Let me join the party.

Mr. Kang.

-Do you know any games, sir? -What?

Right this way.

Oh, I love gambling!

You're the best, So-ra.

Oh, boy.

Thank you so much.

-Pardon me, everyone. -Hello.

Sorry. Pardon me.

Who's that beautiful lady over there?

I mean, I know everybody else here,

but I don't think I've ever seen her before.

She's one of Da-bi's friend's mother.

This is LY's COO.

I see.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

But...

Am I perhaps seeing things?

I thought you were a college student.

She married when she was young, so she's still in her twenties.

That's her husband, Mr. Jang Jin-wook. He's LY's general manager.

Mr. Jang.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Kim. I'm Jang Jin-wook.

Pleased to meet you.

Goodness.

-Sorry. -Excuse me for a moment.

Yes, Ms. Kim.

Mr. Seo.

I found something big

while looking into Sun-bin's husband.

I'm heading home right now. I'll tell you about it when I get home.

What are you doing?

My hand slipped. I was trying to cut a loose strand.

Please let me go.

Another all-in!

This won't do. Give me more chips, So-ra.

Are you doing this over and over because it's not real money?

You should stop now.

Oh, come on. Just one last time.

One last time, okay?

I think I can win if I just play one more time.

-I think we've played enough. -Yes. Let's stop.

So-ra.

Okay.

No more.

-Time for me to go. -All right.

Mr. Jang married his current wife three years ago.

Three years? But her daughter

looked like she was in kindergarten.

The child is from his first marriage.

He divorced his first wife.

Now he's living with his mother-in-law after his remarriage.

and they're a perfectly normal family.

But the shocking part is Mr. Jang's first job.

Where did he work?

He used to work at GEDIKS.

When that happened thirteen years ago,

Mr. Jang was a new employee at GEDIKS.

Babe, I think you managed to seduce everybody there.

I don't think anybody understood why you married just an average guy like me.

That's why I always say

that I won the marriage lottery.

I mean, not only do I have a perfect wife like you,

but I also got to go to Sehunjeong.

I feel like I'm living in a dream.

Honey. Am I even allowed to be this happy?

Of course. Of course you are.

A lot of employees moved from GEDIKS to LY.

What's so special about Jin-wook?

He worked with Mr. Kang in Buenos Aires.

Also...

he played a big role

in helping LY acquire GEDIKS.

I'm home, Ms. Jang.

How was it, Jin-wook?

Was Sehunjeong as amazing as people say it is?

Seriously, it was fantastic.

Everybody there was so influential,

and they all welcomed me and Sun-bin.

I loved it.

Congratulations on becoming the chairman's close associates.

Thank you, Ms. Jang.

Babe.

Don't touch me.

Remember our first rule?

If I don't want to be touched, don't question it.

Get out.

Okay. All right.

Babe.

I can do whatever you want

because I love you very much.

But...

please don't push me away too much.

I'm just saying that would be nice.

Get some rest.

Hey! Did you find it?

I unlocked the safe, Director.

I found Lee Tae-joon's seal too.

Good job.

Gosh.

I wonder how long she'd been planning this.

She's betting her entire life on it.

It's too dangerous.

I can't let La-el go down that path.

I can't believe you let Mr. Kang catch you hurting yourself.

He'll become suspicious, and that'll only

get worse as time goes on.

Are you trying to ruin our plan?

I'm sorry.

Why are you so weak?

Don't you know who you're going up against?

There's only one reason

why I used up all of my money to save you.

Prove that you're worth the effort.

I...

need to see them falling from their thrones.

If you screw us up,

I'm going to make you regret it

no matter who you are.

Mom?

Your mother went missing, remember?

Let's get you out of the hospital.

I'll become your legal guardian

instead of your parents.

Who are you?

I'm someone who understands you better than anybody else.

I lost my family

in the same way you did.

I lost my only daughter.

KANG YOON-GYEOM CHAIRMAN OF LY GROUP

Where are you going, Mom?

I'm going grocery shopping.

I can do that. You should get some rest.

I want to go for a walk. It's okay.

Text me if you want anything, Bo-ram.

Okay, Mom. Bye.

Bye.

Hey, you're back.

I'm just going for a walk.

Has the auction for the bandoneon started yet?

Maybe I'll just get you a fake one since you're trying so hard.

It'd be nice if a fake could replace the real one.

Why are you so obsessed with the Piazzolla myth?

I know you want it,

but the richest man in Korea

also wants Piazzolla's bandoneon.

He's already paid for it too.

The auction didn't start yet. How did he already pay for it?

He said he doesn't care how much it costs

and gave a blank check.

Who was it?

He's pretty famous.

Where's his name again? Let me see.

So LLE is you.

There he is.

Kang Yoon-gyeom.

KANG YOON-GYEOM RESERVATION FOR BANDONEON

You want to buy Piazzolla's bandoneon, sir?

Yes, I do.

Very few people know that it's going on auction.

How did you find out about it?

I have a personal interest in it.

Speak of the devil.

There he is.

You two are going to fight over the bandoneon.

Ma'am.

Are you leaving?

Why do you need Piazzolla's bandoneon?

Anybody who likes the tango

would want Piazzolla's instrument.

Not somebody who needs the tango?

They say that two types of people are attracted to the tango.

Those who like it

and those who need it.

What kind of people need the tango?

I'd say it's people who seek to be healed.

You're definitely hiding something.

But what is it?

Who are you?

Let's stop beating around the bush and be honest with each other.

You want me, don't you?

So badly that it hurts.

Well, so do I.

Let's not think about anything else,

and just follow our desires.

What do you think?

Just let me treat the wound.

You said there are two types of people.

Those who like the tango

and those who need it.

You need the tango, don't you?

It's because you need to be healed

that you've been noticing others who do too.

Thank you for your help.

What do you have buried inside your heart?

What are you hiding, and why is it hurting you so much?

I'm not hiding anything.

I told you, my hand slipped.

Then what about the scars you had before?

I can tell you did this repeatedly.

So you don't like being analyzed,

but you're fine with doing it yourself, sir?

Well, too bad.

You guessed wrong.

When we danced the tango together,

you talked about someone who forgot who they were.

Were you talking about yourself?

I wonder what will happen if I give in to your seduction.

Do you know what the tallest barrier in the world is?

It's your husband's back when he's lying there, facing away from you.

You're the one who needs a son,

so why am I the one who's getting stressed over it?

I have something to tell you about Mr. Kang.

This is information on him.

You want to go back in time to your honeymoon

and get pregnant before her.

Everybody who's ever approached me

had an ulterior motive.

I don't want anything.

I...

just want you.
