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.

No. My head has never been clearer.

Let's break up.

We should split up now.

I'm not changing my mind no matter how many times we talk about it.

We're getting a divorce.

He can't be serious.

A divorce so suddenly?

There's no way he meant it.

I bet he was just angry.

It's so pretty, Mom.

I'll put in a new family picture every year.

-Thank you. -Happy birthday, La-el.

I don't want to be hidden anymore.

I want to be...

your woman

instead of Ms. Han.

I'm going to raise Eun-bi and Da-bi.

There's no way you're taking them.

Honey, we can't get a divorce.

The kids need both of their parents.

I don't even want to think about them growing up with just one of us.

The doctor said

that it'd be better to separate Da-bi from you.

That's not my fault.

We're famous businessmen. We're basically celebrities.

People pay attention to us.

The kids didn't get to have a normal childhood

because they knew they were always getting watched.

You're the one who cheated on me.

So why are you asking for a divorce when I should be angry?

This is unacceptable.

Since Chairman Kang has decided to get a divorce, I need to hurry.

This is the schedule for Ms. Jang's lawsuit.

As soon as the lawsuit starts, she'll start using the press.

She wants to shift the public's opinion in her favor.

When she gets exposed to the press, your identity will be revealed too.

I'm going to ask her to delay the plan with the press.

These are the contracts for the insiders who sold GEDIKS.

It'll be a huge advantage for us

if we can get the original GEDIKS contracts

from Chairman Kang's safe.

Don't worry about Pan-ro and Jeong-chul.

I'll do my best to ensure

that they won't do anything to you.

How could you be so cruel?

You can't just do this all of a sudden.

You have to give me some room for negotiation.

How can you do this to your wife who got you two children?

If I don't make myself clear,

then you'll try to argue with me even more.

So?

Why are you packing your clothes?

Where do you think you're going?

You can take some time alone to think over things.

Once you've made your decision,

you need to leave this house for Da-bi.

No way, you're not going anywhere!

Please!

I'm tired of you hitting me.

Don't you dare lay a finger on me.

Divorce, my ass.

I won't allow it.

I'm not getting a divorce.

Never.

Never.

Never!

Da-bi.

Secretary Kim.

I need to hold Da-bi hostage.

I'm going to the kindergarten. Get the car ready.

Quick!

LY GROUP SEMICONDUCTOR LAWSUIT PLAN

LAWSUIT DISMISSED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE IN 2010

The lawsuit was filed under the name of LY Victims Group.

A date hasn't been set yet,

but it'll be a huge societal issue when word gets out.

That's why they told us about it first.

The representative is Jang Moon-hee.

She's supposed to be La-el's mother, right?

I sacrificed the entirety of my life and wealth for 13 years

to reveal LY's illegal slush fund

accumulated by Kang Yoon-gyeom and Han Pan-ro,

as well as the crimes they committed against their victims.

Yoon-gyeom worked with Pan-ro and Jeong-chul

to illegally seize GEDIKS 13 years ago

and eventually dominate the global semiconductor market.

Article 350.

The crime of blackmailing

and taking an individual's stock shares by a forced signature.

On top of that, various illegal acts in the hostile process of an M&A...

I found Lee Tae-joon's seal too.

...as well as violations of insider trading laws

are enough to get a life sentence at the very least.

Dozens of janitors and researchers died

as they were exposed to carcinogens

while developing LY semiconductor chemicals.

The researcher who died under unknown circumstances

while trying to reveal the unjust deaths of the workers

was my daughter.

Seon-a!

HONEST CONFESSION BY RESEARCHER PARK DESPITE RISKS

58 WORKERS AT SEMICONDUCTOR FACTORY DEAD, NO COMMENTS FROM LY

MALFUNCTIONING BRAKES? 3 CARS COLLIDE IN THE CITY, 2 DEAD

They also committed numerous acts of corruption,

such as the embezzlement of 800 billion won in slush funds,

as well as those going against Article 356 of the Criminal Law,

and sections 1 and 2 in Article 3 of the Special Cases Act.

I'm planning on destroying LY brick by brick

and giving their tainted money back to our society.

I'll establish justice

by ensuring that Kang Yoon-gyeom, Han Pan-ro, and Kim Jeong-chul

will get the heaviest sentences in Korean history.

The information about LY's accounting fraud in 2011 is missing.

I'll send it to you when I find it.

What?

What's going on?

La-el, did you change the passcode?

SECURITY SYSTEM SETTINGS

FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION SECURITY SYSTEM

How dare you mess with the security system?

I don't know why you think the room belongs to you.

We each own half of it.

In that case, then I own half of it as well.

You can't change the system

without my permission.

I think I can, actually.

You're the one who betrayed me first.

If you can admit that you were wrong,

then come find me at the House of Roses.

Why did you let Da-bi go?

How dare you let her go without my permission?

I'm sorry, Ms. Han.

I just assumed that it'd be fine

since Chairman Kang came to get her himself.

Hey!

Are you dumb?

Don't you know who I am?

Chairman Kang ordered us to guard Ms. Kim.

Let her be.

What a joke.

You don't know what you're doing.

You're all getting fired!

Take Bo-ram and go.

Don't try to act all classy.

You'll never be a part of the upper class.

How pathetic.

The real master of this game is starting to change.

Do you still not understand?

Maybe you'll understand after you've lost your husband, wealth and power,

and your mind and body begin to deteriorate

with nothing left at all.

I'm going to kill you.

So will I also end up

like those two women who had their destinies

changed by Han So-ra?

DR. JUNG

This is so cool!

It's chocolate!

You'll spend this spring break

at Bo-ram's grandmother's.

You can play games and learn ballet from me.

That sounds great!

Dad, I love this place!

-Let's go play. -Sure.

I didn't think about coming here.

But I'm glad that I did.

Ms. Han is having a hard time

accepting this, isn't she?

Everything's fine now.

I'm with you.

I want information about her.

Her weaknesses, scandals,

and who she dated before she got married.

I want everything that might be useful.

If you can't find anything, then come up with some.

Yes, ma'am.

Mr. Prime Minister and Mr. Kim also ordered me to find out more about her.

I want to hear about it first.

-Do you understand? -Yes, ma'am.

BLUE HOUSE

Chief Secretary Seo.

Is something wrong? It's pretty late.

You surprised me by calling me out of the blue.

Have a seat.

Sure.

Did I do something wrong, sir?

The Swiss borrowed-name account.

That was you, wasn't it?

It looks like you stole some money from almost all of the projects.

Does Prime Minister Han know about this?

How do you expect me

to be a part of the Zeus Project if you're going to act like this?

Sun-bin

is the daughter of a man who saved me.

Sun-bin?

Kim Sun-bin.

The one who had an affair with Chairman Kang...

Hey, Jeong-chul.

Yes, sir?

Sun-bin is like family to me.

Do I really need to elaborate?

Not at all, sir.

I completely understand.

The tea's getting cold.

Welcome.

Would you like to order?

One coffee and tea, please.

Sure.

You like tea, don't you?

I had no choice

but to reveal your identity to Yoon-gyeom.

My safety will be compromised

if you decide to team up with Yoon-gyeom.

And what about the lawsuit?

Still, you shouldn't have changed the security system.

Put it back to the way it was.

There's just one thing that I want.

You can go ahead with the lawsuit, but I don't want the press to know.

I also want you to send a representative to court.

I want to know what happened to my mother,

and I want to see So-ra dead.

Then I'll give you the original GEDIKS contract,

as well as Yoon-gyeom's secret safe.

This isn't a negotiation. It's a threat.

If you reveal my identity without my permission,

then we're going down together.

Chief Secretary Seo.

I didn't know that you'd be here, Chairman Kang.

Yes. Sun-bin isn't here right now.

I see.

You said you have something for her. Would you like me to pass it on?

No thanks, I'll just do it myself.

Well, have it your way.

It feels very different to see you in a private setting.

You also look very different here.

Really?

I don't know a lot about politics.

Chief Secretary Seo,

do you know the difference between a businessman and a politician?

Politicians are a bit reckless.

Even if the possibility of success is low, they still try to do it.

But businessmen never invest in something that won't work out,

things like M&As and investment decisions.

And they'll never

fall in love with a woman who loves somebody else,

or anything like that.

Is that so?

Well, this is my view on that same subject.

Businessmen put too much faith

in what they can see.

But politicians try to consider what's not visible to the eye.

For example,

thinking that a woman will be his forever

just because she's with him at the present moment.

Politicians would never

be so arrogant.

Hello, Chief Secretary Seo.

Have you had dinner yet?

Would you like something to eat?

No thanks, I'm just here to give you something.

I have to get going.

You two can talk.

I'll give you some space.

No, it's fine. I'm sorry for barging in so suddenly.

Let's sit down for a proper meal next time.

Sure, Chief Secretary Seo.

Goodbye then.

This is the draft for Ms. Jang's lawsuit.

Thank you.

I'll take a look.

La-el.

I won't beat around the bush with this.

Is revenge the only thing

that you want from Chairman Kang?

Why are you asking me that?

I'm just nervous.

You told me everything else,

but you never mentioned you were staying with him.

You don't really have to do that, do you?

Do you really have feelings for him?

You're acting just like Ms. Jang.

Why do my feelings matter?

What's important is that I do what I'm supposed to do.

I'm sick and tired

of people being melodramatic.

Do you really think I'm being melodramatic right now?

You asked me

what my name means

13 years ago.

Lee La-el. It's a pretty name.

Is there a meaning behind it?

"One who belongs to God."

My dad named me.

Hey, Dad.

What exactly does La-el mean?

"One who belongs to God"?

I mean, what does that mean?

Does it mean that I'm as powerful as God?

No way.

A human can't be as strong as God.

Then what does it mean?

It means that you don't belong to the world.

What do you mean?

In this world,

there are thousands of wrong paths.

But you won't go down one of those paths

since you don't belong to the world.

There's not a shred of darkness inside your heart.

Wow.

So I can't do anything wrong?

No matter how hard things get,

just follow your heart.

That way, you'll always be in the right.

That's awesome.

My heart is full of revenge,

and I'm following my heart.

I understand.

But...

if you really do love Mr. Kang,

then you'll end up in unimaginable pain.

And I hope you don't go through that.

MR. KANG

Can you come to my room?

Just as how you've healed me,

I want to try to heal you too.

Is revenge the only thing that you want from Mr. Kang?

Are you okay?

-Are you hurt? -I'm fine.

One day, your love

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

If you really do love Mr. Kang,

then you'll end up in unimaginable pain.

And I hope you don't go through that.

Sun-bin.

Ms. Kim.

Is it safe for you to be here?

Ms. Han isn't in the best of moods right now.

Da-bi wanted to come to kindergarten.

Don't you think that she looks a lot happier

now that she's staying with me instead of her mother?

So Da-bi is with you now?

Didn't you know she's staying with me?

Chairman Kang, Da-bi, and Bo-ram are all living with me now.

I see.

MS. HAN

Ms. Han.

She's been spotted.

I'm tracking her.

Da-bi is in the car too.

I think I can find out where Chairman Kang is.

Do not lose her.

Shoot as soon as you confirm the address.

Yes, ma'am.

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Rock, paper, scissors.

MR. KANG

-Rock, paper, scissors. -Rock, paper, scissors.

I think somebody is following me.

They're trying to find this place.

You don't know what So-ra and her father are like.

You're in danger. You need to run.

Should I act like I'm going back to the kindergarten instead?

Yes. I'll go to the kindergarten now.

Okay.

Secretary Cha, get the car ready.

Did you find their lair? Where is it?

Ms. Han, this is Marco.

I just slept with Ms. Eun,

and I took plenty of pictures for proof.

I'm calling you because I'd like to ask for the money you promised.

Should I send you the pictures, or should I visit you in person?

You pathetic asshole, get lost!

The woman that Yoon-gyeom had an affair with

is really nothing special.

I have no idea why he fell for her so hard.

What do you mean?

I mean, she's just a regular old housewife.

I looked into her, but I couldn't find anything.

So?

I'll do some more research, of course.

I'm planning on looking into it extremely thoroughly, Mr. Han.

It's So-ra.

What's up, So-ra?

What?!

Yoon-gyeom is living with her now?!

Those little assholes.

These crazy bastards.

I'm going to kill them.

Where's my hammer?

This is where they're staying at.

Come out, you bastards!

I swear, I'm going to skin them alive.

Come out!

Come on out!

Are you ignoring me?

Damn you!

KIM SUN-BIN

KIM SUN-BIN

Dad.

Da-bi?

What's wrong, Da-bi?

Da-bi!

What's going on? Are you okay?

We didn't make it to the kindergarten.

We were threatened on the road.

Mr. Han and Mr. Kim showed up with weapons.

Sir.

Rumors are beginning to spread in the stock market

about your relationship with Sun-bin.

I think Mrs. Han and ex-Prime Minister Han are already aware of it.

THE RUMORS ARE OUT, LET'S BOYCOTT

WORLDXX CHAEBOL'S SCANDAL, K AND H

What a mess.

LY KANG YOON-GYEOM'S SHOCKING SCANDALS

-Unbelievable. -Who is she?

SHE'S THE PARENT OF HIS KID'S CLASSMATE!

LY KANG YOON-GYEOM "HAVING AN AFFAIR" SHOCKING SCANDALS!

Ma'am, it's a call from your father.

-Yes, Dad. -Have you lost your mind?

What the hell are they saying on the news?

Have you been paying attention to your husband at all?

-What were you thinking? -I called Congressman Park.

I told him to take everything down.

What's the point? Everybody's seen it already!

What the hell is Yoon-gyeom up to?

This is upsetting for me too.

Just give me some time.

I'll take care of it.

That piece of shit.

He's out of his mind!

LY KANG YOON-GYEOM'S QUESTIONABLE PERSONAL LIFE

Mr. President wants the floor leader to publicly withdraw his words.

I'll convince him if you can let me speak with him.

Yes, sir.

So nobody knows

who Chairman Kang's mistress is?

Everybody's looking for her online, and nobody's found her yet?

What is she, an alien?

She seduced the chairman of LY,

the richest man in the country.

I wonder who she is.

His wife is Han Pan-ro's daughter, no?

-She's got some guts. -Right?

You dumbasses.

Absolutely useless.

What the hell were you doing?

Where the hell were you?

You should have stopped it. How the hell didn't you see it coming?

What were you doing?

Where's the hammer?

Mr. Han! Please have mercy!

I'm sorry, Mr. Han!

The news of Mr. Kang's secret mistress

has caused controversy to grow.

LY has not released any official statements yet.

Fine.

I won't go to the press.

I'll try to protect you as much as possible.

But two weeks is the most I can get you.

Two weeks is more than enough.

MR. KANG

Mr. Kang.

Everybody's saying

that I'm just a mistress who destroyed your family.

I don't know how I'll be able to live

if people find out that it was me.

What would I say to Bo-ram?

Mr. Kang is having an affair.

But he has a wife.

Who is she?

His mistress? Or his girlfriend?

Oh my goodness.

Look here. It must be true.

You make me sick.

Let's break up. We should split up now.

After the report

-about Mr. Kang's personal life... -Mr. Kang's hidden...

Do you want everybody to know that you were fooled cluelessly by me?

I'm not changing my mind no matter how many times we talk about it.

We're getting a divorce.

Mrs. Han.

Go away and get lost.

Mrs. Han, I...

Turn off the TV and disconnect the Wi-Fi.

Don't tell me anything.

I don't want to hear it.

A court bailiff was here.

We've been saying you're not here to chase the reporters away.

The bailiff went back for now, but...

Why was a bailiff here?

Chairman Kang...

has filed a divorce petition.

BAILIFF

-Who are you? -I'm here to deliver a trial service.

I heard that she's here instead of her house.

This is the divorce petition

that plaintiff Kang Yoon-gyeom filed for defendant Han So-ra.

The YBN Economic News

just reported on the controversy over Mr. Kang's personal life,

as well as the possibility of a new ownership structure.

LY's annual exports have surpassed 100 billion dollars,

accounting for 20 percent of the country's total exports.

However, the stock prices fell slightly today,

and the related stocks have been inevitably affected as well.

LY's stocks have fallen by 20 percent during the past few days.

PRIME MINISTER HAN PAN-RO

It's Han Pan-ro, sir.

Sir, why did you ask to see me

when you must be having a rough time because of your son-in-law?

Mr. Seo.

I heard you're well acquainted with the woman who ruined So-ra's life.

What should I do?

She screwed up my family,

as well as the entire country.

I can't let her get away with it, can I?

I completely understand that you're shocked.

But Sun-bin is like family to me.

I won't let anything dangerous,

not even the slightest,

happen to her.

We have no choice then.

Then...

you can

just get a divorce!

Dad.

Don't try to cling to something that won't work out.

Yoon-gyeom has lost his mind.

Don't you think so, Mr. Seo?

I'm the one who gave him GEDIKS.

Yoon-gyeom and LY are nothing.

I've given him so much.

There's no reason for my daughter to get this kind of treatment!

I'll just take everything from him

and chase him away once he's penniless.

I'm never getting a divorce.

I'll never let her take him from me!

How would you get back a lunatic like him?

This is all because you went there with the hammer!

You little...

We'll never get him back doing something like that.

You couldn't even control your own husband.

Shut the hell up!

Please, Mr. Han...

This family is falling apart.

It's breaking apart!

Everybody got screwed over because of some woman.

How about this, Mr. Seo?

I wouldn't ever let her get away with this.

But if you like her so much,

then I can't do anything to her.

So the only way for my daughter

and me to get out of this mess

is to countersue for divorce.

Let's do that and strip Yoon-gyeom of his wealth.

And you, Mr. Seo, will help me with the lawsuit

since I'm leaving that woman unharmed.

I need to see you once you leave Han Pan-ro's house.

Do-wan.

There's no way I'm getting a divorce.

I can't do what my dad wants me to do anymore.

Understood, ma'am.

I know you need money...

for your mother's surgery.

Take this.

CHECK HAN SO-RA, DIRECTOR, LY CO., LTD.

Thank you so much, Mrs. Han.

You're the only one I have left.

I need you on my side.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll do anything for you.

Bring that bitch to me

without Yoon-gyeom or my dad finding out.

Do whatever you have to do.

I heard about Han Pan-ro's lawsuit.

The battle will be bigger than we expected.

That's fine. There's a good side to it.

When Ms. Jang's lawsuit

meets Han Pan-ro's divorce lawsuit,

then the world will find out that LY took GEDIKS illegally.

All right then.

Then I'll use the lawsuit

to prove that LY belongs to you, the inheritor of GEDIKS.

It's only right

that Yoon-gyeom loses everything and suffers.

You're the rightful owner of LY, La-el.

Let's make this the country's biggest divorce lawsuit ever.

I want Park and Kim Tae-ul,

the law firm owned by Kim Myung-cheol, the former Supreme Court Justice.

Make a joint request to the biggest law firm in the country.

Yes, Mr. Han.

It's only right

that Yoon-gyeom loses everything and suffers.

Just as how you've healed me,

I want to try to heal you too.

Is it good?

-Should I eat too? -It tastes great.

It's good.

You should be happy, La-el.

Who do you think you're feeling bad for?

A cosmos?

I knew you'd spot the cosmos first.

It's not even spring yet.

Where did you get it?

If I must, I will travel to the other side of the planet

to get it before autumn comes.

Cosmos flowers somehow remind me of you.

These are cosmos flowers that look just like you, La-el.

I wish it could be my birthday every day.

-Is that possible? -Of course it is.

I'll do anything for you.

Then the cosmos flowers are the problem, Dad.

You give them to me on my birthdays, but they only bloom in autumn.

Then...

I'll go to the other side of the planet to get some before autumn comes.

Cosmos flowers

are the first ones that God created to illuminate the world.

So your world will be full of light

all year round.

I love you, Mom and Dad.

I know you're carrying a wound with you.

One that's so hard to bear

that you must hurt yourself even more.

I know that it's not easy to talk about it.

But that's okay.

You just follow your heart.

I'll find more cosmos flowers before winter falls.

Then you'll make them bloom someday.

I have something else for you.

Maybe you'll understand after you've lost your husband, wealth and power,

and your mind and body begin to deteriorate

with nothing left at all.

THE BLUE HOUSE

He's my husband.

I'm not letting her take him.

Our meeting felt like destiny.

I fell in love with you because I saw myself in you,

and I could show myself to you...

because you understood me.

I can't live without you anymore.

I love you.

I, Kang Yoon-gyeom, swear

that I'll only love you for the rest of my life.

If there is a single lie in my words,

then I won't be afraid

to die.

Can you, Kim Sun-bin, swear in the name of God

that you love this man...

standing in front of you?

But Dad.

What if I can't make a decision?

What if I can't decide between two things or a lot of things?

Then which path should I follow?

In that case,

just follow the most sincere path.

Do you love me?

Yes.

Do you swear that you'll live the rest of your life with me...

until we are parted by death?

You see, there's a poison growing in your heart.

A poison that could be fatal

called love.

One day, your love

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

If you really do love Mr. Kang,

then you'll end up in unimaginable pain.

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

Love makes us weak.

You don't have to be scared of me

having some love in my heart.

Love is such a worthless emotion.

I can't live without you anymore.

I love you.

I love you.

Yoon-gyeom has already given me his heart.

That means I can completely destroy him.

Can you swear in the name of God that you love this man

standing in front of you?

Love makes us weak.

Then you'll end up in unimaginable pain.

Love is such a worthless emotion.

Just follow the most sincere path.

Sun-bin.

Sun-bin.

-Just like how Adam and Eve -Sun-bin.

committed the original sin by disobeying God's plans,

I've given birth to a terrible sin by meeting you.

The sin

of killing the man I love with my own hands.

She loves him, but she can't admit it,

and has to drag him down to hell.

She must feel horrible.

This is an all-out war for me.

Take her outside.

Let go of me! How dare you tell me to leave?

I'm not going to hide and let the world think

that I'm your mistress.

Did you approach me on purpose?

You don't know who she is, do you?

Let me tell you.

Don't make me look for the answer to this on my own.

What are you doing?

You're screwed now, Lee La-el.
