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.

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

After I'm faced with unimaginable horrors,

the dream always ends horribly.

I called her because I don't want you to cut ties with your family.

I wasn't sure that she'd come,

but thankfully, she did.

Are you okay?

I'll get you something to drink.

I saw you falling, La-el.

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?

Yes.

Sun-bin!

I must have been nervous.

You weren't nervous.

It was just unbearably hard for you.

I guess I wasn't looking at the full picture.

I was angry at you for falling in love,

but I didn't realize

that you were trying so hard

not to love him.

If you'd like to follow your heart,

just let one person blame you for it.

Me.

What do you mean by that?

What do you think?

You're the one who should make decisions about your own life.

Dam-ri?

It's So-ra.

I'm fine.

You really believed that when your family is in the news industry?

The countersuits are just for show.

We're not getting a divorce.

I'm sure you've guessed this already,

but that woman is Sun-bin.

So it is Sun-bin.

How long have those two been doing it?

I was doubting it.

But people don't know

that Sun-bin is married, do they?

I'll give your family permission to do an exclusive coverage.

I'll tell you all about how she danced and played around with men,

as well as her lifestyle choices.

So release it exclusively.

People love provocative things, don't they?

Send the materials to Dam-ri's news company.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm sure she'll crawl out of her lair

once the world starts attacking her.

The family of LY Group's chairman is undergoing a large disturbance.

Mr. Kang was criticized for his improper conduct as a chairman

and his moral character

after he filed a divorce suit against Ms. Han So-ra,

who stated that she only wants to protect her family.

As proof of this...

So-ra.

My goodness, look at your skin.

What happened to you and your husband?

Are you okay?

Auntie.

This is so hard for me.

Of course it would be.

But don't think about getting a divorce, okay?

Think about your kids.

Auntie.

Can you meet with Yoon-gyeom?

He won't be able to refuse

if you and Mr. President convince him.

All right, I'll do that.

I'll give Yoon-gyeom a good scolding.

Oh, my poor So-ra.

Auntie...

DR. JUNG

I found out where Sun-bin and Chairman Kang are.

You found them?

Where are they?

They're at Chairman Kang's vacation house.

Grab her when he's not there.

I don't care if you kill her while taking her.

Just bring her to me.

Yes, ma'am.

When did you start learning the tango?

It was after I quit ballet. I was trying out a variety of dance styles.

If I'm being honest,

I started loving the tango the moment I saw it.

Here are the pictures, Ms. Jang.

Welcome to our bar.

This world is full of suffering,

but all wounds can be healed.

I want you to feel that you can communicate through the tango

without having to say a word.

The tango is a dance where you heal one another

as you communicate with and understand others.

Do you want to go somewhere even further away?

I have a bad feeling

about going back to Seoul.

You've never been to Argentina, have you?

Since you like the tango,

I'm sure you'll fall in love with Buenos Aires.

As long as I'm with you,

I can leave everything behind.

No, there's no way you can.

What's the secret that you're hiding from me?

I don't care about your past.

But I feel like you're suffering from something in the present.

I'm not.

Then why did you collapse at the cathedral?

What are you afraid of?

Nothing.

You did this recently, didn't you?

Just tell me why you did it.

I just told my husband

that I'm getting a divorce.

Everything is happening so quickly. It's a huge burden.

We can only become happy

if you tell me what you're hiding.

So-ra is starting to attack La-el in earnest.

They're talking about how La-el is married, and her behavior.

If this goes on, La-el's identity will be revealed

before LY can be destroyed.

What if she gets caught when she's with Mr. Kang?

That's a horrifying thought.

BLUE HOUSE CHIEF SECRETARY SEO EUN-PYEONG

This is Seo Eun-pyeong.

Hello.

This is Jang Moon-hee.

I know that you're helping La-el.

So she...

tried to kill herself.

She suffered from a severe panic disorder after what happened to her parents.

She had some serious mental issues.

And I don't think she is free from all of them yet.

I saw her with Mr. Kang,

and she looked unstable.

She has also started

to hurt herself again.

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

And she has to drag him down to hell. She must feel horrible.

It's true that I need to use La-el,

but I don't want to see somebody die...

ever again.

She can choose to be with Mr. Kang...

if she wants to.

But I can never agree with it.

She'll either have to disappear,

or never come back to Seoul.

Can you come outside?

I'm near the vacation house.

Ms. Jang came to talk to me.

If she also saw

what I can see,

then it really is true.

You love Chairman Kang.

So what?

Where am I supposed to go?

Will the two of you really accept it

if I leave with Chairman Kang? No, you won't.

Would you want to go if we did accept it?

Why are we having this useless conversation...

I heard you tried to kill yourself.

If you don't want me to worry about you,

then stop loving Chairman Kang.

I can't just let you be, but I can't separate you either.

And I can't tell you to leave like Ms. Jang can.

It's driving me crazy.

Go back inside.

I told you that we don't need to respond to the press.

Just ignore whatever they say.

Let them be.

I'll give separate directions to the TF team,

so I only want the leader to contact me.

Let go!

Let go of me!

Who are you?

Get off!

Are you okay?

Just bring her to me.

I don't care if you kill her while taking her.

You're...

more precious to me...

than myself.

I just want you to be safe,

and I'd do anything for you.

That's all that I wish for.

Lawyer Seo, are you okay?

Mr. Seo.

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

But Sun-bin is like family to me.

Run!

Mr. Seo!

Mr. Seo.

-You haven't found her yet? -No, sir.

Search everywhere.

Yes, sir.

SECRETARY CHA

What did Sun-bin's mother say?

What about the security team and the police?

Where are you right now?

You stabbed Seo Eun-pyeong?

Did he see your face?

I don't think he did.

There weren't any street lights.

What the hell were you doing?

You...

stabbed the chief secretary to the Blue House.

-I'm sorry, ma'am. -This drives me nuts.

Find out how hurt he is,

and if he saw your face.

-Now! -Yes, ma'am.

Are you sure that you're okay?

Whose blood is this?

The man who came to help me got hurt.

Do you remember your attacker's face?

Is that really important?

It'll be easy for Ms. Han to send that man again

or somebody else.

This is an all-out war for me.

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

that I'm your mistress.

Allow me to present the strategy for our future

with the future leaders of LY.

Since we need a strong leadership and the ability to act quickly

in order to get through these difficult times,

we'll be launching a Strategic Planning Office

to oversee each department.

This will be collectively referred to as the Future Strategic Planning Office,

and Ms. Kim Sun-bin, who was in charge when LY Pay was listed,

will be leading this office.

Hello. I'm Kim Sun-bin.

They say that a crisis is an opportunity.

I'm planning on using this crisis that has befallen LY

as an opportunity to turn the tide completely.

I'm talking about the semiconductor silicon wafer.

Most semiconductor companies, including LY,

are using 12-inch wafers.

But I would like to propose the return of the eight-inch wafer foundry process.

LY possesses the eight-inch semiconductor technology

from Mr. Lee Tae-joon, a genius businessman

whose company was acquired by LY 13 years ago.

La-el.

This is the semiconductor disk that I make.

Wow.

GEDIKS's technology

quickly dominated the global market at the time,

and opened a new age of smartphones.

This technology is still the very best one

in the eight-inch semiconductor industry.

This is an exclusive contract for LY,

signed by the top five semiconductor manufacturing plants in South Korea.

VICE PRESIDENT KIM YI-SAK

In order to respond to the current situation,

the legal, development, finance, and security teams

will be temporarily under the direction of the Future Strategic Planning Office.

We ask for your cooperation for the future of LY.

He gave her the Strategic Planning Office?

That's the most important part of the company!

She'll know about everything, including the slush fund!

But Mr. Han, that woman

got a contract with the top five semiconductor factories

that have refused to work with LY so far.

How can an ordinary woman do something like that?

Oh my goodness.

My blood pressure is going through the roof.

-Mr. Han. -Oh dear.

Please calm down.

Are you okay?

Prime Minister Han.

The divorce lawsuit could be worth hundreds of billions of won.

We can win this. Don't worry, sir.

Hundreds of billions?

That's peanuts!

Mr. Han, please calm down.

Calm yourself.

-To the right. -Right here?

-Yes. -Over here.

We are the legal counsel of Ms. Han So-ra,

who is the lady of LY

and currently a director for LY.

Chairman Kang Yoon-gyeom caused issues in his company's management

because of his private life, and caused the stock prices to drop.

Since this is clearly an illegal act,

we're demanding compensation for the damages.

Furthermore, Ms. Han is filing a counterclaim

against the lawsuit for property division and divorce.

The size of the lawsuit is ten trillion won.

-Ten trillion? -Ten trillion?

-Take pictures. -Take pictures.

THE SIZE OF THE LAWSUIT IS 10 TRILLION WON

When did I say that?

How dare they start my lawsuit without my permission?

Get the car ready.

I'm not getting a divorce.

I'm not doing it, so why are you doing this?

Cancel the countersuit!

So-ra.

Your father just fell asleep after his meeting.

Lower your voice, okay?

I'm not breaking up with Yoon-gyeom.

I'm never getting a divorce!

Then what do you want to do?

So what if you don't get a divorce?

How are you planning on getting him back? He left you!

I just need that bitch to disappear.

I'm going to erase her existence from this world!

Snap out of it, you brat!

She's different from those women from before.

The entire country is talking about you and her.

If you mess with her right now,

they'll uncover what you've done before too. Understand?

Of course, Mr. Han. You're right.

So-ra knows that too.

Please calm yourself.

She's different from those women from before.

The entire country is talking about you and her.

If you mess with her right now,

they'll uncover what you've done before too. Understand?

PATIENT NAME: SEO EUN-PYEONG

So Han Pan-ro was involved too.

They killed my mother

and covered it up as a group.

That's why nobody ever found out.

I need to heal quickly so I can protect you.

I've always thought that the worst crime in the world

is murder.

But it looks like

there's something that's just as bad.

Love.

What?

Why would you say that?

Just look at yourself.

-You're suffering so much. -And you're not?

They say that life is full of suffering.

It wasn't that way before you met me.

I prefer this over not knowing you.

I need to lie down.

She has also started to hurt herself again.

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

And she has to drag him down to hell. She must feel horrible.

La-el.

If you really love Chairman Kang,

you should go for it.

It's okay.

But when I think about the things you'll go through,

I just want you to run away from all this

and be at peace.

Now I know why people say

that you can't own love.

It's so pretty.

Dam-ri, this one looks so good too.

Ms. Eun.

-Ms. Yeo. -Who are you?

Ms. Kim Sun-bin, the head of the Strategic Planning Office at LY, sent me.

Who?

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

Seduce them,

or use some other method.

Whoever does it first with either one of them wins this.

What the hell?

This was ordered by Ms. Han.

The deposit was 100 and 300 million won each,

and she promised 900 million if they succeeded.

They have the video.

Oh dear!

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who are you?

Hold on.

What?

-What is it? -Where's the video?

What video?

Where's Ms. Eun's video?

Answer me.

We're here to report LY Group's Ms. Han So-ra

for abetting a sex offense.

She paid us and told us

to do some terrible things.

LY's Han So-ra?

Yes.

She gave each of us a deposit of 100 million won.

We were blinded

by the money.

I'm so sorry.

In order to bring down Ms. A's image, the wife of another businessman

and a member of her gathering who was competing with her,

Ms. Han told a male dancer that she would pay him hundreds of millions

if he slept with Ms. A and brought her the evidence...

It's a call from the First Lady, ma'am.

...this shocking news was revealed.

Oh my goodness, So-ra.

That's a crime.

How could you do that?

No, Auntie. This is a misunderstanding.

I'm sure you have your reasons,

but I can't get involved in something like this.

For the time being, don't contact me, and deal with this by yourself.

Who is that?

Is that Yoon-gyeom?

Where is he?

This can't be real.

No. This isn't real.

What are you doing? Get her out of here!

Let go of me!

Mrs. Han!

-Take her outside. -This is my house.

How dare you tell me to leave?

Then...

drag her out.

Are you insane? Let go!

Don't you know who I am?

Let go of me!

Do you all have a death wish?

Let go of me!

This is my house! I'm not leaving!

Let go of me right now! I can't do this!

Let go!

I've talked with So-ra.

I sent all of her stuff to her father's house.

Honey.

Honey.

Our time together...

wasn't completely horrible, was it?

We were happy after we got our children,

and we were happy watching them grow.

When you're married to somebody, you're going to have ups and downs.

I didn't file the countersuit.

I'll stop talking to my dad, and I'll just dedicate myself to you.

Please give me another chance.

It's too late.

Do you think it'll be different if you live with her?

Is it the physical aspect?

That won't last long.

You'll get sick of her too.

Our marriage was arranged,

but for the first time in my life,

I'm in love with someone because of who she is.

This decision is nothing like the one I had to make with you.

It's completely different.

If you agree to reach a settlement,

I'll give you a good amount of my money.

I don't need any money, honey.

I just need you.

You're the only man I want in my life.

I can't replace you with anybody else.

Secretary Cha, escort her out.

No way.

There's no way.

Darling, don't go!

Don't go!

Babe!

A psychopath?

You were right.

Then I guess I am a psychopath.

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?

Bo-ram, do you want to see our house?

Sure.

If I stay here,

Da-bi will feel confused.

I'll go back home in a little bit.

This is why I asked you that we move to an entirely new house.

Look at Da-bi. She's enjoying being back at home.

Chief Secretary Seo has not returned to work twice.

If what happened with him gets out too, I...

Make sure that nobody finds out.

I'll make sure to do that, ma'am.

Please feel better.

Go away.

What's up with Mr. Seo and that bitch?

Why did he follow her all the way there?

Do you have any guesses?

There was something strange about it.

She called him something strange.

Lawyer Seo, are you okay?

Why did she call him a lawyer?

He hasn't been a lawyer in a long time.

Find out when and where they first met.

Yes, ma'am.

I hid the pointe shoes in the secret box.

I know the password too.

I'm going to stay here with the girls tomorrow

instead of sending them to kindergarten.

I want Da-bi to adjust to

not having her mother at home.

Okay then.

Sun-bin lived abroad

until she started living together with Jang Moon-hee seven years ago.

It looks like Mr. Seo came from an orphanage.

He's from an orphanage, but their parents were friends?

I'll look into it more, ma'am.

Wait, who?

What's her mother's name again?

It's Jang Moon-hee, ma'am.

JANG MOON-HEE

Jang Moon-hee...

There's no way I could've heard her name before,

but why does it feel so familiar?

Jang Moon-hee...

Jang Moon-hee...

Jang Moon-hee.

I remember now.

Right.

Didn't you say there's a TF team meeting about you?

I can just push it back to tomorrow.

The company needs you.

The kids have each other. They'll be okay.

Just for today.

I'm worried about Da-bi.

All right then. I'll see you later.

Want to play hide-and-seek?

-Yes! -Me too!

I'll be it.

-Let's go. -One, two,

three, four, five.

Bo-ram is great at playing hide-and-seek.

There's only one place where she won't find us.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Did you call for me, ma'am?

They want to play in the playground.

I'll be out later. I need to make a call.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

Let's go.

Let's go.

LY has kept hard copies of records

ever since the former chairman was in charge.

I heard there's a safe where they've stored

handwritten account books.

If you can find the safe,

I'm certain you'll find the account book for GEDIKS inside.

GEDIKS SEMICONDUCTOR MERGER AND RELATED DOCUMENTS

MERGER AGREEMENT

CEO LEE TAE-JOON

Dad!

CEO LEE TAE-JOON

Dad...

It looks great.

I'm so happy right now.

Honey!

Dad.

What are you doing?

I asked you what you're doing.

When did you get back?

How did you get in here?

How did you know about the safe,

and how did you get in here?

We were playing hide-and-seek,

and Da-bi came in here.

The papers fell,

so I was trying to organize them. I didn't want you to get angry.

Let's play together.

Ms. Kim, let's play.

Dad.

I'm sorry.

I opened the safe.

Da-bi.

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

Are you okay?

Are you here, La-el?

Mr. Kang caught me in his safe.

I didn't even get to grab the GEDIKS contracts.

Did he find out?

Is he suspecting you?

Not yet.

Ms. Jang.

I'm sending you the pictures I got from the secret safe.

LY SEMICONDUCTORS

Do you recognize this place?

I've never been here before,

but you probably have because of your daughter.

Your daughter is the dead LY researcher, isn't she?

Wow, my memory is pretty great.

Right, Do-wan?

Let's try to solve this mystery.

You were complaining about your dead daughter,

so why do you suddenly have another one?

Kim Sun-bin.

Did you adopt a grown woman?

What's going on with you and Sun-bin?

You're not her mother, so why are you two acting like you are?

Tell me.

Did you two...

approach us on purpose?

Are you here to get revenge

on some pathetic researcher dying?

I love it when people do stuff like that.

It's so exciting.

Do you want to...

have a drink with me?

Did you meet with your mother?

Yes.

Can you tell me what this strange feeling is?

A strange feeling about what?

You.

I told you the truth.

We just played hide-and-seek.

Well...

why do you feel so distant then?

We're living together.

I shouldn't feel distant.

That's why it's ironic.

It's true that I'm crazy about you,

but I'm not an idiot.

Don't make me look for...

the answer to this on my own.

Mrs. Han.

I haven't seen you act so lively in a long time, ma'am.

-Secretary Kim. -Yes, ma'am?

You can figure out

Yoon-gyeom's schedule, can't you?

I want to meet with him and that bitch at the same time.

-Can you make it work? -I'll look into it, ma'am.

Wow, you look like a proper CEO now.

I guess you've really climbed up the social ladder.

You've fallen far, So-ra.

Are you stalking me now?

You're screwed now,

Lee La-el.

Lee La-el.

Lee La-el.

Look at your face.

It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Hey, Secretary Kim.

Yoon-gyeom's here?

All right.

My husband's here.

Take the kids somewhere else.

Yes, sir.

You're not even going to let me see my own daughter?

That's pretty harsh.

Do you really have to cause a scene?

Get out before you embarrass yourself.

You'll want to thank me later.

What are you doing? Come sit.

Honey.

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

Let me tell you.

Don't try anything useless.

Just stop.

This was Sun-bin when she started high school.

But she had a different name.

"Lee...

La-el."

KIM SUN-BIN

LEE LA-EL

I've dropped a little bit of suspicion in here.

Just like that, your relationship will be stained black.

I can say with confidence that you're no competition for me

because you suspect and stalk her, yet you call it love.

Follow her.

Do-wan, why won't you pick up?

We need to let Moon-hee go.

She's a tenacious one.

Let Ms. Jang go.

LY Victims Group?

I could hand over evidence of LY's embezzlement to the prosecutors.

We've been bugged.

I got the original GEDIKS contract.

I'm going to leave Mr. Kang.
