Original subtitles

Your husband, Hyun-sung Park,

is currently having an affair with my ex-husband's sister,

and you're choosing to ignore it.

How long do you think you can fool the public with your fake image?

Why do you care if Hyun-sung and I cheat on each other?

I'm different than Hyun-sung Park.

Hyun-sung meets women to take advantage of them,

Ah.

That's why your husband's been using you as well?

What?

Why, you...!

That's a microphone, isn't it?

What's that doing there?

Jung-im Han, you did this on purpose!

There was an extra microphone lying around, so I picked it up.

You didn't find it. You stole it!

This was your plan all along.

Jung-im Han.

How dare you use me like this?

What did I do?

You told me everything by your own free will.

And you coaxed her into saying it.

Shouldn't you be handling the situation instead of complaining to me?

I know that Hae-bin doesn't have an image to salvage,

but as the new owner of Baekgang, you'll need to manage your image.

Why, that...!

Why did you have to come here and cause a commotion?

Are you trying to blame this on me?

If you didn't break your contract with me, this never would've happened!

Blame yourself if you want to blame anyone!

Hae-bin Do.

Um...

I'm sorry. We have a show to record, don't we?

We'll talk after I record the show.

No, that's not it...

I'm here to tell you that the show has been cancelled.

What did you say?

I'm really sorry.

That's too bad.

I'm sure you prepared diligently for your first appearance as chairman.

But it all ended before it even began.

Why, you want to blame this on me as well?

You've brought this on yourself.

So the both of them were thoroughly humiliated?

That's so great!

What's great?

Oh, I'm talking about this roasted seaweed.

This tastes really great!

It's really good.

Little foal, you have one too.

Thank you, Teacher.

Are you uncomfortable?

I'm fine.

Even if it's uncomfortable here, please be a little more patient.

I'll take you back home soon.

As long as you're here with me, I'm fine.

You shouldn't sleep right after you eat...

Are you that tired?

I'm tired.

It's the Cheju Lady.

What?

Cheju what, Teacher?

What's she talking about?

You should fix yourself something for your birthday and not worry about me.

You've been through a hard life.

I've never had much to provide you with.

I'm so happy that you're my mother...

How could you say something like that?

Thanks, my daughter.

I tucked the teacher into bed.

Jung-im, what's the matter?

I was preparing the seaweed when I recalled...

a conversation I had with my mother.

I never should've told you that I'm craving seaweed soup.

Let's talk about it later, Mom.

Why are you getting mad at me again?

You told me that you'd get me my job back, but you didn't call me back.

What's wrong with asking what happened?

Your job at the gallery is not the problem right now!

Hyun-sung Park's trying to stab me in the back!

What's more infuriating is that Jung-im told me about it!

What are you talking about?

I could've gotten rid of Hae-bin quietly, but Jung-im ruined everything again!

Personnel changes and affiliate assignments...

How did Jung-im Han get that sort of information?

I‘ve been trying to work discreetly.

I'll find out who leaked it.

Managing the situation at the television studio is most urgent right now.

I can't be embroiled in controversy as soon as I become the chairman.

Send our media relations to fix the situation.

I understand, Chairman.

After everything I've been through to get here,

I won't let that affect me.

Hyun-sung's being awfully quiet, isn't he?

I thought he'd fire you as soon as he became chairman.

He can't get rid of me immediately.

And he's busy putting out the fire that Hae-bin caused at the TV studio.

He won't want to fire me and...

risk being accused of being a vindictive person as well.

So did our media relations take care of the problem or not?

There were too many people at the set, and since it occurred at the studio...

So they weren't able to silence everyone.

However, I don't believe that there will be an official story.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

Um, Madam...

Let go of me!

I‘m Chairman Park's mother-in-law!

Why would an assistant stop me from seeing my son-in-law?

Everyone leave.

What brings you here?

I heard that you stabbed my Hae-bin in the back.

So you're here to complain about that?

If I had it my way,

I'd give you a piece of my mind,

but Hae-bin can take care of herself.

I'm here to talk about my business.

Your business?

It's about the gallery.

You're trying to get rid of Hae-bin, so I wanted to see you before it's too late.

Fire that Jung-im Han this instant, and give me my job back.

What?

You don't want Jung-im to continue to work that position, do you?

I won't fire her for no reason.

Why not?

You're the chairman now.

It's because I'm the chairman that I can't do that.

After Jung-im Han started managing the gallery,

everyone agrees that she's doing a great job.

How do you expect me to fire her?

So are you telling me that you won't get me my job back?

If you really want your job back, find me a reason to fire Jung-im Han.

A reason to fire her?

Yes.

A reason to fire Jung-im Han...

This means that I need to find something that can bring her down.

Where am I going to find information like that?

Bong-sun?

What do you mean, why did I call?

I miss you, that's why.

You're giving me goose bumps, so stop it.

Want to meet with me today?

She's planning something...

Alright, then.

Where should we meet?

Should we meet at the gallery?

Yea, alright.

I'll see you later.

I've got you now.

Bong-sun Oh's got a big mouth and she's emotional,

so I may be able to get information about Jung-im Han from her.

Okay.

You're going out?

But I've already set the table.

Do I look like I want to eat right now?

When I think about how they've treated us, it fills me with rage!

Not only did they look down on me, they looked down on you too!

Calm down, Mi-young.

I'll pick a day to go over there and pull their hair out, so don't get involved.

Pulling their hair won't make me satisfied!

Then where are you trying to go?

I'm going to get what I deserve.

Why did you want to see me here?

Hurry up. I'm busy.

I don't want to keep you for long either.

I'll get right to the point.

Give me this gallery.

What?

You know that I deserve it.

You told me to wait until you were chairman,

and I've waited for you.

And I did everything you wanted me to do for you.

Don't you owe me this much as a gift?

The problem isn't so simple.

You were previously convicted of fraud in the gallery,

so there will be much opposition.

It wasn't my fault that I was convicted.

Then you can look for something I can use to fire Jung-im too.

You too?

What do you mean, you too?

Hyun-sung, what did you mean by that?

So everyone wants to be the gallery director right now?

That's Jung-im's position, so how dare they try to take it from her!

Jung-im, it's me...

Yea, Bong-sun.

Did you already meet with Hae-bin's mother?

No, I haven't met her yet, but I know why she wants to see me.

I overheard Hyun-sung talking to Mi-young...

And Hyun-sung's probably looking for a way to fire me?

And that's why she wants to see me.

In order to get information about you.

That's good.

They seem to think that the position is up for grabs,

and both Hae-bin's mother and Mi-young are after it.

All we have to do is exploit their greed.

How?

When she arrives, go ahead and tell her this...

I missed this smell...

Yea.

This is the place I belong.

Soon enough, this will be my kingdom again.

Here.

This is the best there is.

Yes...

Why?

Did something happen?

Well, about that...

Never mind.

It's such nonsense. I don't want to talk about it.

What is it about? Go on and tell me.

To be honest...

Mi-young might become the new gallery director.

What?

Who's becoming the new director?

Chief Jang?

What is it this time?

Why don't you explain this to me?

[Divorce agreement]

You seemed like you were going to file for divorce,

so I prepared an agreement.

Does that bother you?

Wouldn't this rotten situation bother you?

You want a divorce?

With who's authority?

From the very beginning,

we've been together for the sole purpose of bringing Joon-tae down.

Did you forget that?

You don't want to spend the rest of your life with me, do you?

Do I look crazy?

Live with a monster like you?

Even if we get divorced, it'll be under my terms!

I won't accept the scraps you toss at me and I won't step aside!

If you won't step aside, what will you do?

You want to take this to court?

Then you'd be at a disadvantage.

You're an unfaithful spouse.

Am I the only one who cheated?

You cheated on me too!

Do you have proof?

Of course I do!

Ah, the picture you snapped of me with Chief Jang?

You announced at an interview that it was a doctored photograph.

You should've held onto the evidence against me.

That's your problem.

You're never prepared.

If you quietly agree, I may hand the gallery over to you.

Hyun-sung Park!

Think about it.

Something on Hyun-sung Park?

Yes.

The prosecutor will be investigating soon.

I've submitted all of the evidence...

pertaining to his corruption in the company.

Do you think it'll be enough to lock him up?

I'm sure he'll find out about the investigation,

and he'll look for a way to escape from this.

It's hard to implicate the person at the very top.

Hyun-sung won't slip away this time.

There's undeniable proof of his guilt.

He won't be able to avoid this.

What do you mean?

I'm being investigated by the prosecution?

Even as a formality, I cannot be investigated right now.

Make sure that I don't have to be there at the investigation.

Chief Prosecutor, is there any way to close the investigation?

The number you have dialed is currently busy...

Hyun-sung never takes my calls...

Who is he talking with right now?

Brother.

If you're going to nag again, I don't want to hear it.

Don't bother me.

I'm not going to nag, but I need to ask you for a favor.

Help me, Brother.

Help you do what?

Stop asking me to help you!

I've ruined my life because I'm helping others all the time!

I can salvage that ruined life of yours.

You?

And how do you plan to do that?

Why don't you salvage your own life?

That's why I need your help.

I'll salvage both your life and mine!

What are you talking about?

I need your help to become the director of the art gallery.

What?

The director of the gallery?

Hae-bin's mother and Mi-young both know that they have competition,

so they'll move fast.

If we toss the bait now, they'll bite immediately!

I would think so.

Both of them are incredibly greedy.

Blinded by their own greed,

they'll end up throwing up everything they've stolen over the years.

Where are you going?

I can't simply sit by and watch.

Hyun-sung's trying to give me an empty can,

but I'm going get everything that I deserve.

I have something to discuss with you.

What?

Is it urgent?

No.

It's okay.

I'll take care of it by myself.

Okay.

I'll be back.

Yea, okay.

I wanted to talk about the gallery with her.

But I'm sure she has her own worries right now.

I'll take care of my own business.

So you want me to help you take Jung-im's position from her?

She's going to lose that job now or later.

But the person who can get her successfully fired will end up with her job.

Since things are already this way...

Hey, Mi-young, do you think that makes any sense?

Think carefully about this.

Brother.

Think about it.

Who's ruined everything for us?

Would you want Hae-bin's mother to reclaim her position as the director?

I know that you don't want that.

Do I really have to do this?

I know that I'm helping Mi-young, but...

Who's ruined everything for us?

Yea.

This is their fault.

If Mi-young's right and the director position is open,

I can't allow Hae-bin's mother to get it.

Yea.

I heard that you were fired.

Are you okay?

You know that I'm capable.

I can always go elsewhere.

But are you really doing okay?

With your job as the gallery director?

Since Hyun-sung Park's the chairman now, I am a bit nervous.

I don't think he'll allow me to remain in this position.

Do you have any plans?

Like a backup plan?

Working hard is my backup plan.

Working hard?

I'm working on a really big art deal, and if it goes through,

not only will the gallery benefit,

but it'll strengthen my position here too.

I may be able to remain as the art director.

What kind of painting is it?

So you're planning to buy a painting?

Then I'll be sure to get my hands on that painting.

You've tossed the bait to Hae-bin's mother?

Yea.

Mi-young and Hae-bin's mother both took the bait.

I know that you used Moo-young to get to Mi-young,

but how did you get to Hae-bin's mother?

I utilized one of her unhealthy habits.

Since they've both taken the bait.

They'll be putting up a fight soon.

Yea, alright.

I'll tell them to get ready as well.

Yea.

Teacher, please take your medication...

Oh my, Teacher!

Are you okay?

Bong-sun...

Teacher, do you recognize me?

My head hurts...

Teacher, one moment!

The phone...

Where's the phone?

Emergency!

I need to call emergency!

How do I call for help again?

Huh? Bong-sun.

What's the matter?

Did something happen?

Bong-sun, get a hold of yourself.

Hyun-woo.

Yong...

The teacher isn't feeling well...

We need to call an ambulance.

The elder is feeling unwell?

I'm hungry.

Are you okay?

What is?

You told me that your head was hurting just moments ago.

And you recognized me.

She recognized you, Bong-sun?

Yes.

She called me by my name.

What's going on here?

Elder, does it hurt up here?

Here?

It doesn't hurt.

I'm hungry.

Give me food.

I think she's okay for now,

but she should go to the hospital for a checkup.

But where has Jung-im gone to, Bong-sun?

She's at the gallery.

She's got a lot of work right now.

Yes, Madam. I'm on my way now.

Yes.

Where are you going?

Where else?

Jung-im's meeting with a client to purchase a painting.

I'll need to stop her.

How are you going to stop her?

Are you going to buy it instead?

I'll take care of things from here, so you stay out of it.

What's that girl planning to do now?

Madam, please hand the painting over to me.

I can't let it go at that price.

This is as much as I can offer you at the moment.

I'll hope you reconsider, and I'll leave you for today.

Chief Jang, what are you doing here?

I could ask you the same thing...

The painting?

The painting?

Madam, are you trying to sell that?

That painting!

Sell it to me.

I'll add a big one on top of your price.

I'll add one and a half!

Two more!

Three more!

Stay out of this while I ask you nicely.

I was going to say the same thing to you.

You stay out of this.

You...?

Hey!

Why?

That's enough from the two of you.

Add two more to my price,

and I'll sell it to the first person who brings me cash.

I'll have to sign over the deed?

Yes.

I thought you wanted to take a mortgage out on your house?

I do, but...

Do I really have to sign this?

It's in case you don't pay us back, so consider it a formality.

Alright,

I'll pay you back soon anyways.

Where do you need me to sign?

Right here.

Can you give me the cash immediately?

Yes.

My babies...

We'll only say goodbye for a short while.

I have something that I really need to buy.

And I'm a little short on money.

When I become the director, I'll buy each of you back.

Did I get here first?

You didn't give away the painting, did you?

Yes.

You're right on time.

Here.

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

So I can't avoid an investigation?

I'll have to frame this on someone else.

You're trying to have someone else take the fall for this?

This‘ll be my spot soon, so I wanted to see how it felt.

Mi-young...

That painting is a forgery.

Something wrong!

That can't be right!

A forgery?

What will happen to my money...?

My money!

Mom!

Mom!

I'd like you to leave this house for now.

This house belongs to the teacher again.

Jung-im Han!

Mr. Choi, you're telling me that you'll give me...

incriminating evidence on Hae-bin and Hyun-sung Park?
