Chairman Kang!

What do you think you're doing?

You think you're entitled?

She's my wife, do you understand?

Come here.

Calm down, Jin-wook.

How dare you tell me to calm down?

Don't do this, honey.

Why are you holding me back, honey?

You should be stopping him instead!

Jin-wook!

Are you okay?

Don't touch her.

And who are you to tell me that?

She's my wife.

She's mine!

You can't approach her while you're acting this way.

You're the chairman.

Yet you stole my wife, and now you're threatening me?

This will be the end of you.

You'll be screwed once people find out, understand?

You can only yell at me like this

because you're legally her husband.

Then I guess I'll just take care of it legally.

What?

Are you saying you'll make us divorce?

I can't end things with you.

I'm the husband here.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

What are you doing there? Come here!

Stop!

What are you doing?

-Come here. -Who are you? Let go of me!

Let go!

Let me go!

I'm not breaking up with you.

Understand?

You're being unrealistic right now.

Ms. Han knows about us too. What do you intend to do?

Just give me some time

to deal with So-ra and Jin-wook.

I'll find a way to resolve this peacefully.

There's a way to resolve things peacefully

with Ms. Han?

I have her under control.

I'll be waiting then.

This one, and this one.

You wore these when you were meeting with him, didn't you?

Throw them away and forget about him.

And this.

He gave this to you, didn't he?

Return it to him.

Actually, never mind.

I'll do it myself.

I'll go and give him a warning

so he'll never mess with us again.

If you provoke him,

he might retaliate even stronger.

Am I supposed to sit still then?

He thinks he can do whatever he wants with you!

I won't put up with that.

They'll find out about you if you keep creating tension like this.

I'll end things before they find out.

Now that there's a rift between Yoon-gyeom and So-ra,

I'm going to press my advantage.

What if they don't get a divorce?

Do you have another plan?

You've used up all of your cards by blindly charging at them.

Do you even have another plan after this?

I've been dreaming the same dream for many years now.

I'm wandering in hell

while hopelessly lost.

And one

by one,

I watch the ones who made me suffer

die while suffering as much as I did.

Stay away.

Stay away!

Although it's the revenge that I have been longing for,

the dream turns into a nightmare

for a reason unknown to me.

Then the dream ends

with a horrific twist

that I cannot bear to stand.

MR. SEO

It looks like So-ra was beyond shocked.

After she's done with Yoon-gyeom, she'll take her anger out on you.

I'm already worried about you running into her at Liyan.

Will you be all right?

I hope that the news

sickens her to her stomach.

Welcome.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Ms. Han.

I'm so happy for you.

Congratulations on LY Pay getting listed in New York.

LY owes its success to you, Ms. Han.

Would you like to share a word as the parent representative?

I was able to help Yoon-gyeom and get LY Pay listed in New York,

all thanks to you ladies.

I'm planning on hosting a grand party soon,

so you can look forward to that.

I hope you continue to support me.

Sun-bin.

-Say hello. -Hello.

Hi.

I haven't seen Da-bi for the past two days.

I haven't seen Ms. Han either.

Sun-bin.

-Let's go to the meeting together. -Sure.

By the way, have you heard anything about Ms. Han?

So-ra? She's in the conference room.

Wait.

I think we have somebody here who wasn't invited to our meeting.

Secretary Kim,

get her out.

Please leave.

Why?

You know why I'm angry at you.

And what reason is that, Ms. Han?

I thought you were going to tell me the reason.

Watch your damn attitude!

Have you given it some thought?

Why all of this is happening to you?

You crazy bitch.

She's been acting out of line,

so I'm trying to correct her manners.

While we were preparing for the events together,

she would not only talk back to me but step way out of bounds.

It must have slipped her mind...

that I own her husband's workplace.

Did I?

I didn't know.

From now on, I don't want to see her at any classes or events.

Until I decide how to deal with her formally,

if any of you show her kindness

or include her in your group,

I'll consider it a challenge to my authority.

I ruined the good mood, didn't I?

But it's important to correct your subordinates.

Why are you still here?

Director Cha.

We need to start the meeting,

so could you lock the door

once our uninvited guest leaves?

Please leave.

-Could you check this one? -Sure.

Let's see the next page.

There's a typo right here. Could you fix that as well?

-Sure. -Sure thing.

Are things going the way you wanted with So-ra?

Hey.

Have a seat.

I figured we both needed a moment to put our cards on the table.

Isn't that right?

The recent events have made me realize something.

I now see...

how inexperienced you are.

I would've never found out about your fling with Yoon-gyeom

if you hadn't told me about it.

I'm assuming you had me find out for one of two reasons.

Either Yoon-gyeom wasn't acting the way you wanted,

or you wanted to drive the two of us apart.

Is that really the conclusion you came to?

Yoon-gyeom was just following his desires momentarily.

Do you really think that will end our relationship?

We're the owners of the top company in the country.

Do continue.

There have been countless women who wanted to seduce him.

I don't blame them.

I bet anyone would want to destroy our marriage and take Yoon-gyeom.

As if there's anything left to destroy.

You haven't gotten a single hug from him in years,

stalked him because you were so paranoid,

and checked that pearl makeup powder so anxiously.

Or am I mistaken?

You're right.

My relationship with him has been greatly problematic.

I needed something groundbreaking to happen.

And you did that for me.

He tried so hard to comfort me all night.

It was great, really.

We did argue a little bit,

but we've decided to grow tighter after this slight stumble.

They do say the calm comes after a storm.

What is it?

Is that not the case with your marriage?

Let's stop beating around the bush.

Do you know what I've been given thanks to you?

A shopping mall.

I'm even going to be involved in the management.

A proper director with full voting rights, at that.

Yoon-gyeom admitted his mistake

and said he won't let my pride suffer.

We've decided to pull through it for our kids.

This is what real adults do.

Do you understand?

Now, let's talk about why I had you come here.

I can't just let you off, can I?

You knew what you were getting into, didn't you?

You have one hell of a resilience,

so it'll be thrilling for sure.

Honey.

Are you ready?

Of course.

How do I look today?

You look great.

Let Korea Exchange know that we're on our way.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Let's go, honey.

CONGRATULATIONS ON LY PAY'S LISTING ON THE NY STOCK EXCHANGE

NY STOCK EXCHANGE'S SUCCESSFUL REBOUND

The commemoration for LY Pay's new listing on the NY Stock Exchange

took place at Korea Exchange today.

LY Pay's stocks have been hitting their upper limits

and setting new records daily.

The stocks of LY's subsidiaries are at an all-time high as well.

Korea Exchange held the ceremony with the expectation

that the listing of LY Pay on the NY Stock Exchange

would also be beneficial for the Korean economy.

Mr. Kang and his wife have been invited to the Blue House

for a luncheon later in the afternoon.

How can a wife act that way

after finding out about her husband's affair?

I can't tell if they're just putting on a show

or if they're truly in love.

Did Mr. Kang say anything after that?

Did he call you?

Things might not go as we had planned.

I don't think they'll be getting a divorce anytime soon.

And considering what she did to your mother,

it worries me what she might do to you.

Let's try to come up with a plan somehow.

I won't regret anything,

even if the worst happens to me.

After all, Lee La-el

has never even existed.

If there's one thing that worries me,

it would be Ms. Jang.

The person who I'm calling my mother.

If something happens to me,

she'll need somebody to replace me.

Do you think you could do that?

Are you not worried about yourself?

I'm sorry for burdening you.

No, don't be sorry.

I told you that I'll do anything you want.

I'll let you rest.

Thank you for everything.

La-el.

You once asked me why I'm being so kind to you.

I've been keeping my feelings hidden...

so you wouldn't feel pressured.

But I've changed my mind.

I want to make you feel pressured.

How can you think that nobody will feel sad for you

if you disappear from this world?

Even if there's nobody else, I'm still here.

You are...

more precious to me...

than myself.

I love you.

After meeting you again

and spending time with you,

I've realized how important you are to me.

It doesn't matter to me

that Mr. Kang and Jin-wook are next to you.

I just want you to be safe,

and I'd do anything for you.

That's all that I wish for.

Even if everything falls to pieces and everybody leaves you,

I'll stay by your side.

Mr. Seo.

-I... -I'm not asking for a response.

I just want you to know.

And I want you to feel pressured.

Feel pressured to keep living

because there's somebody in this world who loves you this much.

And I'm not going to act like your shadow from now on.

I'm going to do whatever it takes.

I'll help you to end your revenge

safely and quickly.

And when you've accomplished everything that you want,

then please give me an answer.

Until then, don't you dare get yourself hurt or in danger

because I'll be waiting for you.

This is Congressman Seo.

I'll be happy to accept the position

of the president's chief secretary.

Thanks for the meal. I'll go get my bag.

Sure.

I'm going to meet with a lawyer today.

We're going to discuss what Mr. Kang did.

You're meeting with a lawyer?

Yes.

Mr. Kang used coercion that was backed up by his power.

He tried to threaten our family using his position as chairman.

I can't let him get away with it.

Hello.

Ms. Han?

Hello, Ms. Han.

Oh...

Yes, ma'am. I'll see you at work then.

All right.

Ms. Han wants to meet with me.

She told me to come to the director's office.

La-el is very close to making So-ra get a divorce.

Tell Yoon-gyeom

that La-el is Lee Tae-joon's daughter.

Do it as soon as you can.

The economy isn't doing well because of the semiconductor issue,

so I'm very happy about your achievement.

Thank you.

It's an honor to be here.

Congratulations, Chairman Kang.

-Good job, So-ra. -Thanks, Auntie.

Oh, sorry! I'm just used to calling you that.

It's fine.

So-ra's mother was my best friend.

She's like a daughter to me.

You've heard, right?

Congressman Seo

will be taking on the duties of the chief secretary.

He hasn't been formally appointed yet,

but we wanted him to start working as soon as possible.

My first task will be to hold the World Economic Council Assembly.

I feel that I'll be asking for your advice very often.

I'll be happy to help.

Since you went to the same school,

I'm sure that you'll work together well.

I'm very excited.

ROAD TO THE BLUE HOUSE

I'm waiting in front of the Blue House.

Yes.

Ms. Jang was also a victim of the LY semiconductor incident.

I found pictures of the other victims too.

Would you like to take a look?

Sure.

Yes.

All right, let's do that.

We're going to GL Hotel.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Kang.

-What is this? -Just take a look.

Who are you?

I've been dreaming the same nightmare for so many years.

And the dream always ends horribly.

Mr. Kang.

So why did you ask to meet me here?

Could you take the lead role of the Korean businessmen

at the meeting?

-But that's such an important... -If you agree to do it,

then I'd like to leave the role to you completely.

So I brought along some data that you might want to take a look at.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC INDICATORS

When did you prepare all this?

I didn't do much.

As you'll see, it's very incomplete.

Since you're giving me so much of your trust,

I'll make sure to help you as much as I can

for your first assignment.

That's great.

MR. KANG YOON-GYEOM

Mr. Kang, I have something to discuss with you.

Would you like to have a drink with me?

Sure.

All right, let's do that.

Mr. Kang.

-What is this? -Just take a look.

Mr. Kang.

Somebody gave Mr. Kang an envelope.

An envelope?

I stopped him from opening it,

but that man was also a victim of LY.

Do you think you might know who he is?

Could you give Chairman Kang a call?

I'll take care of the envelope.

KIM SUN-BIN

When I saw you at the kindergarten,

I couldn't act like I was happy to see you.

-You understand, don't you? -Yes.

Let's meet soon.

Not at the usual place though. Somewhere else.

Where?

There's a hotel where I conduct a lot of my business.

Nobody will think it's strange

even if they see either of us going in there.

You want to meet me at a hotel?

Yoon-gyeom was just following his desires momentarily.

Do you really think that will end our relationship?

We're the owners of the top company in the country.

I miss you.

Are you drunk?

A little.

That's why I miss you even more.

I hope you get back home safely.

I'll call you again.

Next week, I'm going to tell the law firm about my true identity.

It would have been perfect if we had the secret safe,

but I'll just have to wait

for the search and seizure after the lawsuit.

Once I reveal that I was the person behind the lawsuit, I can't stay here.

I can't just wait for my identity to be exposed.

Will you leave

with me?

Give me some time, Ms. Jang.

Do you still have those nightmares

about you dying?

-Sometimes. -I used to comfort you,

saying that the dreams are different from reality.

I told you that you were strong and that you would never get hurt.

But nowadays,

I find myself thinking that there must be a reason

why you have those dreams.

You see, there's a poison

growing in your heart.

A poison that could be fatal

called love.

It's cliché to talk about love ruining everything and killing somebody.

Love makes us weak.

I've known you since you were 15.

Even if you deny it,

what's important is that I can still see it.

One day, your love...

could burn down everything that you've built up so far.

I'll contact you again soon.

-I'll be waiting. -All right.

See you next time.

LA-EL

Hey.

Thankfully, I got the envelope,

but I think

you might have to take a look at this, La-el.

REPORT ON KIM SUN-BIN

Kim Sun-bin is the only daughter of Lee Tae-joon, the CEO of GEDIKS.

Her real name is Lee La-el.

You need to know

who Sun-bin actually is, Mr. Kang.

One day, your love

could burn down everything that you've built up so far.

The woman whom you call your mother

is the only person who knows so much about you, isn't she?

I've given the papers to Mr. Kang.

Where have you been?

I'm going to reveal myself soon and stand on the front lines.

There's a lot to prepare.

Ms. Jang.

You know,

my dreams...

aren't actually nightmares.

I'm fulfilling my wish in that dream

by taking the lives I wish to take.

Didn't you say that you die at the end?

I lied.

I take the lives of those I wish to take,

one by one.

At the very end of it all,

I capture the most evil one out of all.

That monster

is so cruel and persistent

that God Himself

gave up on her.

And that...

is myself.

I lied to you because I didn't want to become a monster like them,

not even in my dreams.

I'll inevitably get blood on my hands.

And yet, I still wanted to be seen as a good person.

Isn't it funny

how selfish humans can be?

But I've snapped out of it now.

What's truly frightening isn't becoming a monster.

It's losing.

I need to do whatever I can to win this horrible fight,

don't you think?

So...

I'll take your advice.

You're right.

I am in love with Mr. Kang.

A man and a woman.

I had never experienced anything like it.

My ability to reason became paralyzed.

It scared me.

I also agree that using my body is the only plan that I have.

So how about this?

We have too many opponents, and they're all so powerful.

There are too many variables...

that I failed to account for.

I can't control all of those variables,

but I can

take over the mind.

Yoon-gyeom has already given me his heart.

That means I can completely destroy him.

I can also make them doubt and kill each other.

I need to kill those bastards who made my life

a living hell.

I need to do it...

myself.

I'll make sure to succeed.

DAD

LY DIRECTOR HAN SO-RA

These are Chairman Kang's schedule

and his call history from the past few days.

I don't see anything problematic.

RECENT CALLS

Okay.

KIM JEONG-CHUL

So-ra.

I tried to calm down your father, but it's not working.

He's on his way to see you.

Drive!

Hurry!

Wait, So-ra!

KIM JEONG-CHUL

Yes, Mr. Kim.

What did my dad say?

The press is calling it the "fight between the in-laws."

He's in a terrible mood right now

because of the news of how he got screwed over.

I covered for you with some excuses for now,

but you can't run away anymore.

You need to meet with him now.

It might be better now, now that you're a director

with the mall and everything.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

You idiot!

You goddamn moron. You useless piece of crap!

You dumbass!

You do nothing but eat and put on makeup.

Yet you didn't know anything about your own husband?

You useless piece of crap!

She'll only learn after she's taught a lesson in the Classroom.

I've been going too easy on her.

Take her there!

So-ra.

Mom.

Dad.

I'm a director now.

I've got my shopping mall too!

I'll make sure that you get a share, Dad.

Yoon-gyeom listens to me nowadays.

Please give me another chance

and just give me some time.

Please?

Please, Dad.

Mr. Han.

So-ra has achieved impressive results with her hard work.

You idiot!

It's too late now, after all that brawl I got into with Bon-geun.

Finding a way to get back at Yoon-gyeom will be much easier than punishing her.

Damn it!

Mr. Han.

Please forgive her.

Just let it go this time.

Damn it!

So-ra, are you okay?

Are you all right?

SUN-BIN

Let's practice for our performance.

Meet me at the studio tomorrow.

Let Korea Exchange know

that we're on our way.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

I want to tear them apart into pieces.

They had an affair, yet they're acting like nothing happened.

But I was helpless because of Dad.

I would have killed them all,

but I had to hold myself back to become the director of the mall.

I despise them all.

This is so unfair.

It's driving me insane.

I saw the security camera footage from the day of the bag incident.

You switched the kids' bags, didn't you?

How could you?

I just don't get it.

She was probably trying to drive us apart

so that she could become a member of the upper class.

Unbelievable.

I didn't think you were like that. I'm so disappointed.

The Liyan Foundation held a council meeting,

and they decided to kick Bo-ram out.

The performance team will be disbanded,

and your position as the vice parent representative will be taken away.

What's so funny?

You've tried so hard.

You really didn't have to.

I was going to disband the performance team anyway.

It's useless to me now.

You don't need to come anymore.

Right.

Getting kicked out is a different story though.

It won't be me getting kicked out.

It'll be Ms. Han.

Don't you want to know

why she hates me so much?

I envy you two.

The best entertainment is watching others fight, isn't it?

You can all leave now.

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.

You've finally lost it, haven't you?

You think so?

Look at your face.

Mrs. Han!

What are you doing?

There are dozens of security cameras here.

Are you really going to hit a woman?

You can act like a nice bodyguard at home.

You're still here?

What a psychopath.

A psychopath?

There's no need to deal with her, ma'am.

Let's leave.

You're pathetic.

I won't waste my time.

MR. KANG

One,

two,

three.

MR. KANG

Why did you hang up?

I miss you so much.

I called wanting to see you,

but I hesitated.

I didn't want to disturb you.

Should we meet?

SUN-BIN

She's finally lost it.

What makes you think you can call like this?

Then you can tell her.

So-ra.

You'll never think about why this is happening, will you?

Then I guess I am a psychopath.

You were right.

But that means...

I could do something completely crazy, doesn't it?

I'm going to do

my very best to ruin your life.

You'll try to stop me

while I try to break through.

Who do you imagine will win?

Did you really think you were in control of everything?

Let's talk now.

I'm Han So-ra.

I asked you a question.

Why haven't you told your dad about me?

Secret?

Don't make me angrier than I already am.

Chaebols aren't anything special.

I want to know what you really want.

I don't want to be hidden anymore.

I want to be your woman.
