THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION AND ALL NAMES, CHARACTERS, PLACES, AND INCIDENTS

ARE EITHER PRODUCTS OF THE AUTHOR'S IMAGINATION OR ARE USED FICTITIOUSLY.

Secretary Kim!

Did Yoon-gyeom call?

Still no call?

It's five in the morning right now.

He's sleeping somewhere else.

He didn't come home all night?

What the hell is this?

Come on, say something. Gosh, this is frustrating!

I'm sure something urgent came up.

He'll probably explain everything once he comes back.

You think I'm wrong?

Then why is his phone turned off?

And why did he leave his car here?

I want to see Secretary Cha.

Love is a feeling you can't hide.

You don't plan it out at all,

and it makes your head spin.

It paralyzes any sense of logic with an incredible destructiveness.

The ecstasy caused by love

can numb your senses to an extent

where you won't even feel the pain of death.

It's incredibly dangerous.

Mr. Kang.

I didn't want to wake you up, but you should go back home.

Did I really sleep all night?

It's been so long.

I usually can't sleep for very long.

It's not like I asked you to bring me the moon.

It's really not that difficult.

How on earth can you not know where he went?

I'm sorry.

You think that solves anything?

Answer me.

Keep this with you. It's just for the two of us.

Can I call you too?

Yes. I'll always be waiting.

It's too extravagant.

I don't know if I can wear this.

No jewel is beautiful enough...

to be compared to you.

Chairman Kang is coming.

Hide.

What do you think you're doing? Have you kept them up all night?

What else was I supposed to do?

You didn't come home.

You can all go home.

-Honey. -Go home!

How many times have I told you?

Our employees are not slaves.

Yet you're always harassing them.

When will you stop?

Who cares about them?

What were you doing with your phone off?

Where were you?

On my birthday too.

Tell me everything

before I do something crazy.

I was thinking of an explanation on my way back.

But now that I'm here, I don't even want to say it anymore.

You make me sick.

What are you saying?

Are you on drugs?

Are you out of your mind?

I'm amazed that I've held it in for so long,

when I despise you this much.

How are you planning on apologizing for that?

I can't just let this go.

You spent the night out on my birthday,

and you're talking to me like I'm trash.

I'm not going to put up with this.

As if you put up with anything in your life.

Secretary Cha.

I saw your car parked outside. Come out here!

I called him because I was worried about you.

Am I not allowed to ask your secretary about you

when you weren't coming home?

So you put the tracking device in my car because you were worried?

What tracking device? I don't know what you're talking about.

Secretary Cha.

Who told you to install the tracker in my car?

There's only one person here who can give an order like that.

Please forgive me, sir.

Get out.

Is that really so important right now?

I did it because I love you.

Then what else is important?

Your birthday?

Of course my birthday is important.

But also are my feelings...

and the things that I want.

You should prioritize me over everything else, no matter what.

You want me to act like one of your employees, don't you?

Are you changing the subject because you spent the night out?

Tell me where you were and what you were doing first.

I just...

needed a place to rest.

You could've rested here.

At our house!

You mean, your house?

I'm not done talking yet.

Where are you going?

Why are you coming to the guest bedroom?

I don't want to sleep in the same bed as you.

Let's use separate rooms.

No, we can't.

I'll never allow that.

I'm so sick of you. Stop this.

Why are you acting like this? I'm the one who should be angry.

Honey.

Now, Ms. Jang.

I installed a hacking app on Mr. Kang's phone.

There we go.

Mom.

How was the wedding?

The bride was so beautiful.

You must be tired after the drive. Did you eat breakfast?

I ate at the rest stop.

Hey, honey.

Babe.

There was a package for you at the door.

From Lee Tae-joon.

Who's GEDIKS?

What?

What is it?

Let's open it together.

No.

What's wrong, Dad?

Jin-wook.

Sorry, honey. I'm sorry, Ms. Jang.

I think it was misdelivered.

I need to go make a call, honey.

Mr. Han.

These are the prosecutors who want to be a part of the Zeus Project.

Take a look.

Chief Prosecutor Kwon?

No, he was almost indicted on a lobbying charge.

How about him, sir?

I like him.

He hasn't made blunders and won't cause any issues.

Next, we have Special Prosecutor Park.

Didn't he pocket a lot of money last time?

He'll get too greedy if we recruit him again.

...A LOT OF MONEY LAST TIME? HE'LL GET TOO GREEDY IF WE...

The paperwork is all ready.

Thank you.

I know the password too.

What?

Mr. Kang spent the night somewhere else?

And it was on So-ra's birthday too?

That's hilarious.

So that's why she hasn't shown up today.

She's too embarrassed.

First we ghosted her, and then her husband spent the night out.

She must be going crazy right now.

This is too good.

Yes, Ms. Han.

You must be feeling unwell.

I'll take Da-bi to your place.

So-ra.

Oh no. Da-bi.

So-ra.

What took you so long?

Da-bi had a golf correction class.

What's going on, So-ra?

Yoon-gyeom wants to use separate bedrooms.

And I'm not letting that happen.

Mom.

Call your dad and tell him to come home.

Now!

I'll do it.

I'll tell Mr. Kang.

It's okay, Da-bi.

Let's get out of here.

I couldn't disobey Mrs. Han.

I'm sorry, sir.

You've done so much for me.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

I'm going back to my hometown.

If...

I give you one last chance,

will you work for me completely and without question?

SO-RA

KIM SUN-BIN

I missed you.

Every day feels like a year now.

Mr. Kang, this is Kim Sun-bin.

You really need to come home.

What on earth happened?

Are you hurt?

Mr. Kang is here.

-Da-bi, your dad is here. -Da-bi.

Are you okay?

Dad.

Honey.

What the heck!

You don't plan it out at all,

and it makes your head spin.

It paralyzes any sense of logic with an incredible destructiveness.

Love is a feeling you can't hide.

Are you okay, Da-bi? Are you hurt?

Da-bi, you go to your room!

Stay where you are. You'll get hurt.

What the hell are you doing?

Did you...

just yell at me?

In front of your subordinate's wife?

Don't cry, Da-bi. It's okay.

Don't cry, Da-bi.

Ms. Han.

You'll hurt yourself on the shards.

Could you stay in your room?

Just to keep you safe.

Did you see him when he was yelling at me?

Did you see his eyes?

I didn't get a good look.

This is valerian root. You should try it.

It'll help you relax.

This is a disaster.

They must've all gone insane or something.

How else could they all be so damn disrespectful?

I'm going to crush them.

I'll get my revenge on everybody who ruined my birthday.

And I want to meet with Dam-ri and Ji-hee's partners.

How dare they?

This is an idea for the mall.

Try showing it to your father.

Just keep yourself busy with your work,

and everything will go back to the way they were.

You can crush Dam-ri and Ji-hee

by showing them how fierce you are.

Do you have a plan?

We'll be doing the solo performance soon, remember?

She's asleep now.

You should get some rest.

I did mix in some sleeping pills,

but what if Ms. Han wakes up?

Well, why did you do this to me then?

I hope that doesn't scar.

Have you been eating well?

It's good.

I'm not the best cook.

I never realized...

that the best things in life...

are hidden in the most mundane things.

FATE

I thought you only listened to tango music.

That is tango music.

You can dance the tango to pop music too.

Do you know what it'd be called if I danced the tango right here?

A "room tango."

This is why I hesitated.

Because I thought I might fall in love.

There are at least 20 points in Han Pan-ro's voice analysis files

that could have a legal effect.

And this evidence from Mr. Kang's phone

shows that the M&As with GEDIKS and other companies were illegal.

Good work, La-el.

Let's file a lawsuit...

with a law firm, Ms. Jang.

If you file a lawsuit,

you must be prepared to reveal your identity.

It'll be hard to collect evidence at that point.

That's why the lawsuit has to be the last thing we do.

I want to see Han Pan-ro and Kang Yoon-gyeom in the courtroom.

Without further ado.

So do I.

But the best time to file the lawsuit

is after we've obtained Kang Yoon-gyeom's safe, as we planned.

That way, we can make it a bigger social issue.

Still...

I want to move things faster.

You're uncomfortable around him, aren't you?

It's not easy to sleep with your enemy.

I want to end this quickly.

I heard you come back early in the morning.

Where were you?

That package,

why did you throw it away?

Didn't you work for GEDIKS as your first job?

Why did you lie to me?

And what's this?

What's going on here?

I told you, it was misdelivered.

Honey, I...

You said you weren't hiding anything from me.

I married you because you said you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Don't you dare touch me until you tell me what this is about.

-Honey. -Get out.

Try losing the person you love.

The pain will make you wish that you were dead.

I didn't tell my dad about how you've been acting.

The documentary take for the Autumn Recital is next week.

He's coming to see my performance then.

You know how perceptive he is, right?

He'll know something's up if you don't show up.

Are you threatening me?

I'm just giving you advice.

Our marriage is already flawed.

It's meaningless to act like it's not when we're in public.

I'm trying really hard.

I'm not doing anything and I'm staying quiet,

especially compared to before.

"Not doing anything"?

Are you really proud of that?

You're living a normal life after doing such a terrible...

That was just an accident.

ANALYSIS OF 4 DEPARTMENT STORES

Negotiate with the city saying that you'll renovate the brothel area,

and just transform that area into an LY shopping district?

Yes.

You know, nobody has been able to do anything there.

This is a great idea.

It's true that brothels are a pain in the neck for the city.

Mr. Han.

What if we merge this with the Zeus Project?

If you add in the shopping mall,

it'll be good for money laundering, and we can expand our business.

Isn't it the perfect plan?

Right, it is.

I want the largest shopping mall in the country.

First you got us the congressman, and now this?

You're on a roll nowadays, So-ra.

Who came up with this?

I did.

Come on, be honest.

Who was it?

It was a parent from the Parent Association.

I told her I'd get her husband promoted, so she's willing to do whatever it takes.

I'll introduce you to her if you come to the kindergarten recital.

Han Pan-ro bit the shopping mall bait.

Now we can find out how LY launders its money.

I'll contact the law firm.

Like you said, it might be better to hurry things along.

You've exceeded my expectations, La-el.

I apologize for calling you inexperienced the other day.

I'm truly sorry.

I know...

you've also given this your all, Ms. Jang.

A lot of our data is only available to their closest associates.

If LY's legal team finds out about the lawsuit,

you'll be the first person they suspect

since you approached them so suddenly.

I'm worried they might get their revenge on you

before we can make this a social scandal.

From now on, distance yourself from Kang yoon-gyeom.

Just to be safe.

Okay.

Please check over all of the data thoroughly.

Let's wrap it up for today.

Okay.

What do you think of the chief secretary's proposal, sir?

The spokesperson was asking me about it, so I thought I'd ask.

I'm going to think over it for a bit longer.

I need a few more days.

Will it be another "Don't Disturb Day"?

One of those days to think before a major decision?

I know it's meaningless to ask, but I'm curious.

You go off the grid on every Don't Disturb Day.

What do you do?

Could you give us a hint?

It doesn't get its name for nothing.

It would ruin the whole purpose if I told you about it.

It'd be an Open Day instead, wouldn't it?

-True. -Yes.

You can all go home.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

La-el.

I'd like to talk about the work request I mentioned before.

Call me when you're free.

She's here.

It's Ms. Han!

Yay, she's here!

You look so pretty!

What is this?

We felt bad we didn't get to do anything for your birthday.

We're the Parent Association's dance team, aren't we?

We should take care of each other.

It's not even my birthday anymore.

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

That's enough.

Secretary Kim.

I appreciate the thought.

We got you a gift too.

It's from a super luxury brand.

They opened a shop in Cheongdam-dong, so we got you one.

-Oh dear. -Isn't that a dildo?

Oh my.

I have a membership with Meredian Hotel,

so I heard what happened.

I was sad to hear that you were all alone, so I thought you'd appreciate the toy.

You know, they say when you're older,

that toy is so much better than your own husband.

I hope it makes you feel better.

Let's cut the cake.

You can wait in the common room. I'll bring it to you.

Did you see her face?

Did you see her?

Please forgive them.

I didn't know they'd do that.

They've all left, ma'am.

Open them.

100,000,000 WON

What is this money for, Mrs. Han?

-It's an allowance. -Excuse me?

Use it however you want.

All of it?

In here...

is three times that money.

I want you to sleep with Eun Dam-ri and Yeo Ji-hee.

Seduce them,

or use some other method.

Whoever who does it first with either one of them...

wins this.

On one condition.

I want evidence.

Something decisive.

Go on now.

So-ra.

I know you hate them, but are you sure about this?

It's a crime.

I've lived my whole life doing whatever I want.

What if it becomes a problem?

It's never been a problem.

Has something like this happened before?

Do you know why my dad won't give me a job?

Because I'm immature?

It's because he's always cleaning up after me

after I go around causing problems.

He's probably tired of it.

He wants to live in peace now.

Have you ever done anything

related to Mr. Kang or LY Group?

The biggest one is probably what I did to marry Yoon-gyeom.

What did you do?

I altered the fates of two women by the slightest...

to marry him.

When he was single, all of the chaebols wanted him as their son-in-law.

I mean, he's handsome and tall.

He was the elite of the elite, and didn't even cause any scandals.

The competition was so intense,

but I was older than him,

and I had been married before.

So?

I heard a rumor

that he was flirting with another woman.

So

I got rid of her.

And this woman started messing with me,

telling me to give her husband's company back.

Apparently she was the wife of the CEO of GEDIKS or whatever.

But you see, GEDIKS was my dowry.

So a young woman and an old woman

had their lives changed forever.

All thanks to me.

GEDIKS...

No,

what did you do to those two women?

Don't try to dig too deep.

There will be plenty of interesting events from now on.

I hope you're excited.

LA-EL

La-el.

What happened, La-el?

Why do you want to know what your mother last looked like?

Did you hear something from somebody?

Do you know...

if she said anything

or what she was like

before she went missing?

It's important to me.

Soon after you left for the US,

she disappeared while she was in the nursing home.

That's all I know.

What? What is it?

Do you think it's possible...

that Han So-ra hurt her?

How could somebody disappear without a trace?

Don't you think it's strange?

When I last visited her in the nursing home...

Are you all right? I got you some porridge.

Please don't come visit me anymore.

You have a bright future ahead of you.

You shouldn't get involved in anything dangerous.

Don't say that.

Listen to me.

Don't ever visit me again.

Okay?

She seemed so anxious.

As soon as your father passed away,

LY took over his company.

I thought it was all over.

What did she say...

when she left the nursing home?

Apparently she said that she was going to visit a relative.

Then she went missing.

A woman disappeared for no reason,

and she hasn't been seen for ten years.

It makes no sense.

But if somebody very powerful was involved,

then it just might make sense.

It's just an assumption for now though.

La-el.

La-el!

I've only wished that she'd still be alive.

Excuse me, did you hear anything about Ms. Kim Jin-sook?

We haven't heard anything about Ms. Kim.

"I'll be able to

meet my mom again someday."

That hope is what kept me going.

La-el.

La-el.

Mom...

Mom.

Mom.

What is it, Secretary Jung?

Your father would like to see you.

Ex-Prime Minister Han wants to see me?

He sent something through his secretary.

It said something like, "Thank you for caring about Liyan."

He probably thinks this is his chance since you went to the event.

You know he's doing all sorts of

corrupt things involving businesses in government projects.

I rejected it right away.

He's such a snake. How dare he?

Tell him I'll meet with him.

Sir?

I'll meet with him.

-What do you think? -You look so beautiful, ma'am.

That looks so good on you.

You look so pretty today.

Father.

You bastard.

Kneel down!

Have you forgotten the reason

why I raised you on the same level as Chi-gyeom?

No, I haven't.

Well,

Han Pan-ro is messing with the shopping mall now.

How dare he take away your brother's plaything?

I didn't know anything about that.

Well, that's an even bigger problem!

How the hell are you controlling your household?

That's a contract for you to give up all your rights

and inheritance papers.

I can't trust you anymore.

Sign it.

I gave this company everything that I have.

You can't do this.

The real heir of this family is Chi-gyeom.

-Father. -If I leave it to you,

I don't know what your wife or father-in-law will do.

Sign it.

What about my children?

Your mother was a lowly woman, and so are you.

Your children won't be any different.

You're just the son of some housekeeper.

Do you really think you're fit to be the chairman?

I took you in so you could support Chi-gyeom

since he lacks in health and ability.

I didn't take you in so you could step over your brother.

I'm the person who hid the secret behind your birth,

but it's about time

that your wife and father-in-law found out about it too.

Sign it now.

Some wounds can only heal...

if you silence them with even greater pain.

La-el!

La-el!

If I were afraid,

I wouldn't have started any of it in the first place.

La-el.

Why are you being so nice to me?

When I first met you,

I still believed in the value of innocence.

Times have changed,

but I still want to protect you.

I don't have an innocence for you to protect.

I've become evil.

No.

Nothing has managed to taint you yet.

Circumstances have driven you to where you stand,

but you haven't changed a bit.

Lee La-el.

A person who belongs to God.

You have a reason for your revenge,

but I'll probably pay the price for doing something so terrible.

Yet still...

I wish to help you with your revenge.

It's not something I had in plan,

but how can I stop now...

when I've fallen so much for you?

Sun-bin, my dad's here.

Why aren't you wearing your dress yet?

I'll put it on now.

Where's Mr. Han?

Come in.

Congratulations on your performance.

It's been a while.

Hello.

Your plan was very impressive,

especially for someone who's only ever done housework.

I studied business administration in college.

No wonder.

I heard Ms. Kim is an outstanding dancer.

Won't you look bad next to her?

Don't be too shocked when you see me.

Mr. Han, I think we should just cheer her on.

-Right? -Yes.

-See you later. -All right.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Get ready, okay?

Hello.

I'm Cha Elissa, the director of Liyan.

First, I would like to thank the parents, students, and associates

for coming to Liyan Kindergarten's Autumn Recital.

Now, for our first performance,

we have our pride and joy of Liyan.

Our students will be performing for you.

Please give them a big round of applause.

He disappeared?

He went outside for a second to call somebody.

I'll go get him, sir.

Next,

the parents prepared a special performance for Liyan Kindergarten.

Let's welcome them onto the stage.

Please give them a round of applause.

Well, pretend that you didn't.

You'll hurt yourself if you find out too much.

Honey!

And this woman started messing with me,

telling me to give her husband's company back.

Apparently she was the wife of the CEO of GEDIKS or whatever.

But you see, GEDIKS was my dowry.

So a young woman and an old woman

had their lives changed forever.

All thanks to me.

-There you go. -Let's take a picture.

I'll take the picture now.

One, two, three.

Just look at that woman.

She's a charming one.

She's really something else.

What happened to your face?

Remember the clown who thought he was the king?

If that clown takes over the throne and actually becomes the king,

then he's no longer delusional, is he?

What do you mean?

What if I really become the king?

My father-in-law, my father, and my brother.

I'm going to destroy everyone who's trying to step on me.

I'll take over LY and become the king.

Not just a clown,

but a real king.

If you're with me, I can do anything.

Promise me...

that you'll stay with me no matter what.

Okay.

I'll stay with you.

I'll be with you...

no matter what happens.

You saw Yoon-gyeom, right?

That man is mine forever.

By the way, So-ra.

Yes?

Go on, what is it?

I just had a strange thought.

I have this instinct since I've been married for a while.

It's about Mr. Kang.

What about Yoon-gyeom?

I think he's having an affair.

What?

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ECONOMIC ADVISOR, HAN PAN-RO

What if I become the lady of LY instead of Han So-ra?

Do you think he'll get a divorce because of an affair?

Snap out of it.

Bring me proof.

If you don't have any or say that you were mistaken,

I'm going to kill you.

I'll put them in so much pain

that they'll wish they were dead.

You shouldn't have come here. It's too dangerous.

This is all because of Sun-bin.

Tell me, who is she?

Why can't I reach Sun-bin for the past few days?

Damn it, just hit her!

I've got you now.
