Hello. Who is this?

Hello.

This is Seo Eun-pyeong.

Oh, Mr. Seo.

This is Kim Jeong-chul.

I'll put Mr. Prime Minister on the phone.

It's Congressman Seo.

Hello, this is Pan-ro speaking.

Thank you for your thoughtful gift.

I saw it at an auction, and it's supposedly 400 years old.

It made me think of you.

I heard you have a great love for books.

Thank you for showing up to my granddaughter's kindergarten event.

I really appreciate your thoughtful gesture.

I would love to talk to you in person.

Of course. I'd be more than happy.

Shall we do that then?

Great, I'll see you at my house.

All right.

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're supposed to distance yourself from him.

We've already requested the lawsuit.

What if he finds out who you are?

In public too. What do you think you're doing?

I don't want you interfering with this.

You think Yoon-gyeom

is seeing another woman?

What makes you say that?

He came to your performance,

but he didn't get you any flowers or gifts.

I've been watching him,

and he didn't even glance at you.

Did you find out where he had been when he spent the night out?

Follow me.

Secretary Cha.

We've strengthened the security.

We'll make sure nobody can approach you, sir.

Can I trust you...

to be on my side?

I'll do anything you order me, sir.

I'll work for you, and you only.

You said it was Han Pan-ro?

What did he send?

There should be two boxes in my car.

They both contain the same thing.

Send one of them to my father

and tell him that Han Pan-ro sent it.

And send the other box to my father-in-law.

Make it anonymous.

My, my.

Here, So-ra. Use this.

Isn't it hot? You'll burn yourself.

You.

Have you forgotten your place

with me being so nice to you?

Have you forgotten who I am?

Not at all, So-ra.

How could I?

If you haven't forgotten,

then where are your damn manners?

I'm sorry, Ms. Han.

You've accused my husband of cheating.

That better not

be a figment of your imagination.

Bring me proof.

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

I'm going to kill you.

Understood?

I understand, Ms. Han.

FATHER

Honey.

It's fine.

Darling.

How was my performance?

I'll wait for you at the House of Roses.

Let's go, Sun-bin.

You can go.

Honey.

Mom.

You two can go home ahead of me.

Bo-ram.

A friend of mine is having a hard time right now, so I need to stay with her.

I'm sorry.

No.

What are you...

Let's talk when we get home. Let's go.

-We can talk when I'm back. -Are you serious right now?

Grandma.

Ms. Jang, she probably has a good reason.

Let's go.

-Is that okay, Bo-ram? -Yes.

Thanks, Bo-ram.

See you later, Mom.

Sorry, Mom.

Babe.

I feel so tense right now because of the performance.

Let's go home.

Can you take care of me?

I have something important to do.

-What is it? -It's just work stuff.

Why do you need to know?

Aren't you here to make up with me?

Let's talk later.

Honey.

Follow him.

I want to know who he meets and where he goes.

What do you think about this to secure your company shares?

It's a bit of a risk, but it'll work.

How did you think of this?

A luxury company in Europe once fought over its management rights.

That's where I got my idea from.

I looked into your subsidiary companies too.

You must have been so lonely.

How did you last this long?

What makes you think that I'm lonely?

You never had anybody you could trust,

ever since you were a child.

You talked about twin flames.

I don't believe in such things.

But what I really want to know...

is how you know so much about me.

I won't ask you any uncomfortable questions.

So just stay next to me.

He's not picking up.

Are you sure Yoon-gyeom's not in his office?

He said he had work. Where is he if he's not at work?

I just spoke to his secretary.

Chairman Kang won't be coming today.

Apparently something urgent came up at work.

It's about Mr. Kang.

I think he's having an affair.

He didn't even glance at you.

Ma'am.

Ma'am, are you all right?

I'm cold.

Are you not controlling the temperature in here?

It's cold in here!

Turn down the AC and get me a heater.

Hurry.

You're not coming home today?

I'll pick you up early in the morning.

I'd prefer it if you didn't sleep outside.

I won't let her sleep outside.

Give me the phone. I'll talk to her.

You better come home right now.

I told you, it's cold!

-Bring some more heaters. -Okay.

You're not coming home today either?

Don't you think this is a bit too much, babe?

A friend? Which friend?

Chairman Kang won't be coming home today either, ma'am.

It's hot.

-Come on, get up. -Gosh, it's so hot.

Turn the heater off.

Bo-ram.

Your mom said she'll be back soon, so let's wait just a bit longer.

-Okay? -Okay.

It's Mom.

Mom!

Bo-ram.

I missed you.

Are you going to kindergarten?

I'll drive you.

I can go with Dad today.

You should go inside and rest.

Come to the studio afterward, okay?

Ta-da!

You can practice with a chiffon tutu on.

Okay, Mom. You're the best!

Let's go, Bo-ram.

I told the law firm about who I am

because I thought you would stop seeing Mr. Kang.

What if they find out what our plan is before I can do anything?

Why are you acting so reckless?

My mother...

passed away because of So-ra.

So-ra told me herself.

So-ra is one evil woman.

Your mother had already lost everything.

Why did she do that?

She'll pay for what she's done.

Let's punish her with the law.

The law is on their side, actually.

I realized that after spending time with them.

A death can only be repaid by death.

La-el.

You said that you don't want to be a monster.

What happened to that?

She took that from me.

I'll make her kill herself.

I'll put her

in so much pain...

that she'll wish she was dead.

So-ra's here.

You stay inside, Ms. Jang.

How could you not show up

after telling me something like that?

I've been reflecting on what I did.

I'm sorry for telling you that so suddenly, Ms. Han.

Yoon-gyeom...

hasn't been coming home.

Not since the performance.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Let's find out what he's up to, Ms. Han.

Yes, I do need to find out.

But he blocked me,

and I can't even track him.

His bodyguards are protecting every inch of him.

How am I supposed to do anything?

I have a good idea.

I have a proposal for opening a shopping mall.

You can go tell him about it,

saying that you had a sudden inspiration.

He won't stop you

if you're visiting him for work, not for personal matters.

MOM

Mrs. Han is here. Could you come downstairs?

MOM

I understand your anger, La-el.

But you can't go to the LY Chairman's office unprepared.

You've made no plans on how to make So-ra kill herself.

So-ra will be divorced from her husband...

if I become the lady of LY instead of her.

What if I broadcast to the entire nation

how she's abandoned by her husband?

She's always trying to appear perfect.

I bet she'll wish for death.

Let me lead you inside, ma'am.

It may have taken 20 years to build,

but I can destroy it in five minutes.

My anger may be small,

but I can do anything if that rage runs deep enough.

Hello, sir.

Hello. I'm Seo Eun-pyeong.

Welcome, Mr. Seo.

I haven't had the honor of meeting you in person until now.

You sure are impressive, Mr. Seo.

Thank you so much for inviting me.

-Let's go inside. -Let's go.

Sir.

Mrs. Han is here.

Let's wrap up today's meeting here.

Don't you know who I am?

-Sorry, ma'am. -Sorry, ma'am.

Chairman Kang would like to see you in his office.

Honey.

I'm sorry that I wasn't home for so long.

I'm at your workplace right now. Can we meet?

I'm here to see Mr. Kang and Ms. Han.

I'll meet you at the chairman's office then.

What is he doing?

Are they scheming together or something?

There's nothing wrong with the one I gave him.

He must be hiding something.

Wait.

Maybe it's my misunderstanding.

Perhaps he's actually just doing work.

Ms. Han.

What?

What is it?

Come take a look at his suit.

Whose is it?

Whose makeup is that?

I don't know, Ms. Han.

I just happened to notice it.

Tell me whose it is.

Tell me, who is she?

I really don't know.

No, I can't have that. I need a name.

Who is it?

Dam-ri normally talks a lot about Mr. Kang.

You little...

Is your brain just there for decoration?

There's no way it can be her.

Tell me the truth!

What do you think you're doing?

Are you out of your mind?

She could have gotten hurt.

You're worried about somebody else getting hurt,

but you can't see that you're hurting my feelings?

You're the one embarrassing me right now,

coming here without an appointment and making a scene!

You tell me what you've been up to.

Why aren't you coming home?

What have you been doing?

And what was that meeting about?

Why do you have so many security guards?

Don't you see how strange you're acting?

I'd be a moron if I didn't do anything!

Get out.

Don't ever come back here again!

Mr. Kang.

Get lost.

"Get lost"?

I'm going back to my father's house.

I'm staying with my dad!

You're the one to blame for this situation.

So-ra.

I mean, Ms. Han, what's going on?

Mr. Kang.

Ms. Han.

Let's get you out of here first.

Wait outside.

What is it?

What happened?

Your wife is in the chairman's office.

I'm okay.

Are you hurt?

Ms. Han is suspicious of you.

She thinks you're cheating on her.

Distance yourself from her.

I'll assign somebody to protect you.

Will you be all right?

You've been doing everything without any political funds?

You've got some guts, Mr. Seo.

I've always been quite fearless.

But you need more than just guts for politics.

I'm glad you came to talk to me.

From now on, I'll be your supporter.

Things will be a lot easier for you.

It's so nice being able to talk to you like this.

Let's have a drink, shall we?

So-ra.

I got it, okay? I'll look into it.

I saw it with my own eyes. There was eyeshadow on his suit!

So-ra, calm down.

That eyeshadow didn't get there by accident.

Some woman was rubbing her face on him!

Please, can you bring it down?

That little...

Is somebody there?

-I've got a guest here with me. -Yes, sir.

Here. Cheers.

If your father finds out when you're not completely sure,

then somebody innocent will get screwed again.

The incident with Madam Jung wasn't even that long ago.

I'll look into it, so calm down, okay?

I wasn't really going to come to my father's place.

Then just go back home.

What about my pride then?

All right, I get it. Okay?

I'll make sure that Yoon-gyeom comes begging on his knees.

I called Sun-bin here, so you can take out your anger on her.

What are you doing, Mr. Kim?

Mr. Seo is here.

Yes, Mr. Prime Minister.

Change into something else and come out later.

Okay?

Ma'am.

Ms. Kim is here, so I let her in.

Why the hell are you looking at me...

as if I'm pathetic?

I would never, ma'am. You've misunderstood.

You think I've misunderstood?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Where the hell are your manners?

Did you look into the eyeshadow?

Do you know anybody who uses that type?

Who is it?

I haven't had enough time to check yet.

But

apparently this was custom-made by Mr. Kang.

I heard Dam-ri bragging about it.

I'm telling you, it's not her.

Why would he go for someone that's not even on my level?

Is there anybody else more plausible?

Ms. Han.

Mr. Seo is leaving.

You make some great conversation.

You flatter me.

Wow, your pretty faces are brightening up this place.

-Please come back anytime, Mr. Seo. -Of course.

Wait.

Why won't you say anything about my handsome face?

So-ra, can you get him a mirror?

After you, sir.

Please.

Are you eating dinner outside?

No, let's eat together after I see Mr. Seo off.

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

I could say the same to you. Why are you here?

Mr. Seo.

Your car is ready.

Why did you go to Han Pan-ro's house?

It has something to do with me, doesn't it?

What's the rush? Come take a seat.

Here.

You don't even eat, do you?

Come on, eat.

Those people are dangerous.

And they're not to you?

I'm just doing what I need to do.

It's too much for you to do alone.

Are you going to face them then, Mr. Lawyer?

See?

This is the reason why.

You called me a lawyer like you used to.

I assume that means you've had a change of heart, even by little, no?

La-el.

As you know,

I don't have any family.

After your father, the only person I relied on, passed away,

I ended up alone again.

Now, you're the only one I have left.

I know it may sound strange

that I think of you and your father as family.

But I've realized that family

isn't just about being blood-related.

A family is formed

with love and bonding.

La-el.

You're still in your twenties and you're young.

You can still learn and get corrected.

You can still get help.

I fully understand why you're running so blindly...

toward your goal.

The stew is getting cold. You should eat.

If you're not feeling hungry, why don't you try these?

This is my masterpiece.

Sugar is good for stress.

Who are you?

Chairman Kang sent me.

I'm your bodyguard.

I was told to protect you like your own shadow.

I'll protect you.

I'm sorry, and thank you.

Do you really think that a couple with two kids

will divorce because of a simple affair?

Snap out of it.

An affair is just an affair, especially to chaebols.

Are you sure about that?

You think you can make So-ra get a divorce?

Yes.

Let me ask you one thing.

Did you get enticed by the car or jewelry?

Or do you wish to be the lady of LY?

You have feelings for Mr. Kang, don't you?

Some things you just can't hide, no matter how hard you try.

Poverty, a sneeze,

and love.

I saw you staring at him as if you were in love.

This is why they say that sex is dangerous.

Are you feeling greedy now?

Do you wish to have him all for yourself?

I'm back, Ms. Jang.

You're here too.

My darling.

Have you decided to sleep at home tonight?

Honey.

What were you doing

in the chairman's office...

today?

Right.

Ms. Jang.

You see, Ms. Jang,

I saw something today.

Right?

Honey.

What exactly did I see?

What did you see?

You know exactly what I saw!

Ms. Jang.

Could you ask her who she was with

when she spent nights away from home?

Where are you going?

I'm asking you a question!

What's going on between you and him?

Jin-wook, what are you doing?

This man once told me that he would take a bullet for me.

And now, he's acting like this out of mere jealousy.

You saw how it is.

Love is such a foolish thing.

So you don't have to be scared of me

having some love in my heart.

Love is such a worthless emotion.

What the hell are you talking about?

On the day of my friend's wedding,

and during the past few days, I've been with Mr. Kang.

Jin-wook.

Sun-bin is a bit out of it

because she's been doing things for Ms. Han.

There's nothing going on here.

What she said isn't true.

It's true.

What do you think you're doing?

You're also hiding something from me, aren't you?

How can we stay married

if we're both hiding things from each other?

I need some time to think.

No, don't go.

You can't go. I won't let you.

Please.

Please don't go.

I won't hurt you again. I'll never do it again.

It's all my fault, so please don't leave.

I'm just so scared.

What on earth happened to us?

You want to know what happened to us?

Honey...

You can't do this. Where will you even go?

You know that I don't have anywhere to go.

And I'm sure you also know

that siding with me rather than trying to stop me

is the only way for both of us to live.

Let's take a break.

KIM SUN-BIN

The person you are trying to reach is not available.

You will be charged...

Look.

THE ZEUS PROJECT

Just like that?

You're so good.

Come on, I'm not that good.

I've never seen anybody as good as you.

You're tickling me.

Hey.

You're here.

Wait, so...

if we sleep with those two, we can get three times that money?

Dad.

Are you crying again?

I'm not.

I'm sorry, Bo-ram.

I'm sorry.

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

Is something wrong?

She told me to stay away for the time being, sir.

I told you to stay close and protect her!

I'm sorry, sir.

Please call me. I miss you.

I'm worried sick about you.

REPORT ON KIM SUN-BIN

This is La-el's information.

Why are you giving me this?

I nourished a viper in her bosom.

When it's time,

tell Kang Yoon-gyeom about who La-el really is.

If I want to protect myself,

I need to catch her before she grows even bigger.

She told me she's going to her relative's, but she's still not back.

When is your mother coming?

I don't know.

Apparently this was custom-made by Mr. Kang.

I heard Dam-ri bragging about it.

You're here.

Are you going to practice today?

Dam-ri.

That's a limited-edition bag. Where did you get it?

You know the answer to that, don't you?

Mr. Kang gave it to me.

What do you want?

What's wrong?

-Dam-ri. -What's wrong with her?

She's scaring me.

Do you need to go to the hospital? Should I call somebody?

-It's about Mr. Kang. -What is it?

I think he's having an affair.

-Oh my goodness. -Oh my, So-ra.

-So-ra. -Hold on.

Get yourself together.

So-ra.

Snap out of it.

I need to snap out of it to find out who it is.

SUN-BIN

The person you are trying to reach is not available.

You will be charged for the call after the beep.

KIM JEONG-CHUL

The person you are trying to reach is not available.

You will be charged for the call after the beep.

KIM JEONG-CHUL I CAN'T ANSWER THE PHONE RIGHT NOW

Where are you?

I need to see you right now.

What is it?

I heard about the 300 million won.

Could you give me a chance too?

I've been at my father's place for over five days,

but Yoon-gyeom still hasn't called.

This would have been a disaster if I told my dad everything.

He's definitely having an affair,

but who is it?

No.

I know him too well. He's not having an affair.

This is all because of Sun-bin.

She better watch out.

I'm bleeding.

-Damn it. -Mrs. Han.

I really don't like...

the look you're giving me.

You should be thankful for a pretty and kind woman like me.

So why are you looking down at me like that?

Maybe I should just kill you.

SUN-BIN

Where are you?

Mr. Kang gifted a car to some woman.

It took me some time to find this out.

It's a two-toned sedan, and the plate number is 0518.

It's headed toward Gongnam Road.

Go faster.

-I said, go faster! -Yes, ma'am.

I found it.

It's about Mr. Kang.

I think he's having an affair.

I have something important to do.

Why do you need to know?

Honey.

Catch up to her.

I need to see her face.

Step on it!

Step on it harder!

Get closer!

Step on it! Harder!

More!

Get closer!

Closer!

Damn it, just hit her!

Are you all right, ma'am?

Good job.

I've got you now.

Open the door.

Get out!

I told you to stay close and protect her!

I'm sorry, sir.

How can I find out if she's all right?

I can't go find her myself.

I'll go check on her at her place.

Where are you?

Mr. Kang gifted a car to some woman.

It took me some time to find this out.

I'LL PROTECT YOU. I'M SORRY, AND THANK YOU.

LEE YEON-WOOK

Yeon-wook.

Could you come get me?

Watch out.

Run!

Fuck!

When we reach the critical point, we lose our ability to reason

and do things we shouldn't do.

Nobody can find out about what we did.

So this is my fault too?

LY has always been mine!

You're a worthless parasite.

I sent a small gift.

We're over.

I miss you so much. It's driving me crazy.

I know exactly what I'm going to do now.

I'm going to find out who your mistress is.

Who are you?

Let's meet tomorrow at noon.
