[tense music playing]

This isn't the classroom, is it?

If you turn right over there, that's the classroom.

Let's go, let's go.

[indistinct chatter]

[crowd murmuring]

Let me get that.

[books clattering]

[groans]

I won't let you steal my...

[gasps]

What's wrong?

[indistinct chatter]

Let me carry them.

No, I can't be late for school. We're preparing for finals.

I'll take you to your class.

-You know where it is? -Actually, I do.

[Min-woo] Honey.

What's the matter? What's wrong with her? Honey.

Let's go to the hospital, to get an exam or something.

I'll take her.

I'll call you later.

Let's go.

Stop. Hold on.

Let's go.

[dramatic music playing]

Are you all right?

Where are we going now?

I made a call to your doctor.

-So we're going to... -Go and rest.

Before that, we should go to the hospital.

I wanna go home right now.

We'll go later.

[melancholic music playing]

It was confirmed by your sister's doctor. And and I looked it up online.

She'll be all right if she stops taking it.

It might take quite some time, but she'll be all right.

How can someone...

How could he do such a thing to her? [inhales]

Her husband is supposed to love and protect her.

We have to pretend we don't know anything.

It's important he doesn't find out we know.

I'm looking into it as well. We just need a bit more time here.

So, what should I be doing?

Just try to run the company as best as you can.

[breathes heavily]

I need some time.

Will you be okay alone? Wanna get out of here?

I'll call you in a little while, okay?

Okay.

That day...

When you came to stop me at the airport,

did you already know?

[music swells]

Mmm-hmm.

[music fades]

Okay.

[gentle music playing]

IN-COMPANY BULLETIN BOARD WHAT'S GOING ON IN JARIM?

IS IT TRUE THAT JARIM CEO HAS DEMENTIA? MY SHARES...

-[door opens, closes] -[scoffs]

[exhales]

I'm worried about you. Let's go see a doctor.

I should have mentioned this to you earlier.

Sometimes, these symptoms just randomly seem to appear.

Sweetheart, why didn't you let me know?

You should have paid a visit to the doctor.

Why did you suffer alone? I feel horrible.

I did go to the doctor.

[tense music playing]

And what's going on?

What did he tell you?

It's a side effect from a drug.

The medicine that I stopped taking was the whole issue.

[exhales]

Was Ji-woo there as well?

I had her shoes on.

Oh, right.

I need to call Ji-woo back.

-[sighs] Everyone was so worried. -I've got it.

JI-WOO

Anyway, what was that reporter doing there?

Because I called him.

Why'd you do that?

I had to find something out.

Let me just make a quick call.

[door opens]

-[sighs] -[door closes]

[Ji-yeon inhales]

That could have been really bad, huh?

It could have.

If Kyeong-do hadn't pointed it out,

[inhales] I would have kept taking it.

And it would have gotten so much worse.

[tuts] Uh-huh.

-Mad we didn't tell you? -Uh-huh.

I guess.

[snorts, chuckles softly]

On your own, weren't you scared?

-[chuckles softly] -Wow.

And here I was, clueless, just abandoning you.

About to uproot my life and go to England.

And I'm sure it stressed you out to no end.

[chuckles softly]

I even threatened Kyeong-do 'cause I had no other options.

[laughs softly]

Don't worry.

I'm gonna be all right.

I'll do the best that I can.

So don't let me stress you out.

You have to relax.

Like sleep a full eight hours each night until you get better.

Trust me.

You know what I can do when I put my mind to it.

You know, Dad...

[inhales] That man thought the world of you.

He always said when you made up your mind, even ten guys couldn't take you down.

[chuckles]

[pleasant music playing]

-Your husband... -Hmm?

-Divorce him, please. -[chuckles softly]

-[tuts] I can't do that yet. -How can you still call him your husband?

I don't have an official reason to divorce him yet.

[inhales] He performs the diligent husband part well.

So I have to wait

until he feels threatened and gets sloppy with it.

He'll mess up, and then I'll nail him.

[cell phone vibrating]

INCOMING CALL LEE KYEONG-DO

Kyeong-do is the last person to blame here.

I wasn't quite ready yet,

so until I gave him the clearance to do it,

he couldn't mention it to you.

I'm sure lying to you was pulling him apart inside.

[cell phone vibrating]

INCOMING CALL MR. KIM

What's going on?

Ji-woo must be sleeping. The lights aren't on.

Maybe she's drinking in there?

-Want me to go and... -Nah.

Ji-yeon was just here. She's fine.

Relax and get some sleep for me.

I appreciate the call.

You're welcome. I was here because was worried about her.

-Bye now. -Later.

[line disconnects]

[sighs heavily]

EPISODE 10

-[mouse clicking] -[sighs softly]

-Hey. -Yeah?

Is there trouble in paradise?

-I'm good. -You look completely run down.

-No, I don't. -Hey!

Let's get a tarot reading.

-There's this incredible reader... -Knock yourself out.

[Doo-jin] I want a tarot reading.

Ugh, forget it. Rich boys don't worry about their futures.

-[Doo-jin] Oh, come on. -[tuts]

[whispers] Hey!

Want some coffee?

Sure. Let's go.

-Yeah. -Kyeong-do.

An Da-hye gave me a call.

-Why? -She wants me to pay her a visit.

Why does that make me so nervous?

-Let's go meet her together. -How about you meet with her instead?

-We need a good cop and a bad cop. -But I'm so scared, though.

-[gasps] -Hey. It hit the fan over there.

Oh, my God.

-What are you talking about? -Mmm.

That's disgusting! At least have some sugar or something.

-How much espresso's in there? -Man, why are you such a pain in the ass?

-Did you ever take a break? -Wait, you said something hit the fan?

JARIM. Your girlfriend's company.

-Have some more. -Hey, don't shoot the messenger.

Why are you so stressed out?

-You doing an article? -[Doo-jin] What is it?

-What's going on? -Don't you have something to go write?

-Why are you excluding me? -The grownups are talking. Now, out.

-Are you... -[Sung-cheol] Now!

All right, I'll go.

[door opens]

-All right. I'm going, assholes. -[door closes]

Before you write it, please speak to the CEO's doctor, okay?

-Dementia, right? -I'll schedule an interview.

You can discuss it with him.

[inhales] You're really acting like a member of the family now.

You're even arranging meetings with her doctor?

-I'm not joking about it. -Fine. I heard you.

[inhales] Hey, if this happens to go well,

get me a job in the JARIM PR Team. I'm great at press releases. [laughs]

You're mentally unstable.

Ah! Name calling. That was very mature.

Wait. Come back. Geez. Someone's touchy today, aren't we?

Come on.

So, I'm glad to see you're doing well after joining the company.

I still have a long way to go.

Did you happen to talk to your sister? Did she mention anything?

Play it smart.

You have to pretend like you don't know anything.

She told me not to worry about her,

and to bring my focus back to the company by speaking to you.

[inhales] I told her not to worry about the company.

-She should just be resting right now. -Yeah, I know.

[inhales] On the Lucas front. How are things going there?

Things are unsettled here right now,

and they won't calm back down until we have some good news.

[inhales] The executives are murmuring about our CEO.

I'm concerned that this might make JARIM's shares begin to drop.

Min-woo has been planning to sell the company for quite a while now,

and he was the informant for the Jin-eon article.

That's what has me worried, too.

It's not like I have any power, you know.

They give me looks because I'm the troublemaker.

I need your help, Min-woo.

[inhales] We need to protect this organization.

You're right. We do.

Anyway...

Don't worry about it too much, Ji-woo.

Just keep calm, hmm?

Yeah.

[inhales] Would Ro-a...

Well, you know, maybe bringing her back here might help Ji-yeon right now.

There are a lot of good international schools here too.

If Ro-a was here, well, Ji-yeon would...

You've sure grown.

[intense music playing]

[breathes heavily] If you'd been like this sooner,

you could have helped your sister out and lightened her load.

[chuckles softly]

Well, better late than never.

[inhales, tuts]

Things are looking up.

Your father would be so thrilled.

[chuckles softly]

INCOMING CALL LEE KYEONG-DO

MISSED CALL LEE KYEONG-DO

[cell phone vibrating]

INCOMING CALL LEE KYEONG-DO

[inhales] Mmm.

You want dinner? Have you eaten?

[sighs] Just a little.

And you?

I have, yeah.

Are you disappointed in me?

I can't describe what I'm feeling right now.

I'm so grateful but upset.

I'm sorry.

Where are you?

Outside.

[gentle music playing]

[sighs softly]

You're looking skinny. You need to eat more, okay?

How long have you been there?

Basically, since I got off work.

[sighs sharply]

[Ji-woo] Kyeong-do.

I've been trying to label what this emotion would be called.

You protected my sister from me when I was off in my own little world,

oblivious to it all.

So why do I feel so selfish about the airport incident?

My thoughts were all saying, "Love wasn't why he went."

[inhales]

"It was only because she asked him to do it."

Like, why are those the things I'm thinking at a time like this?

I know how immature and selfish those thoughts are,

but still, I can't stop thinking it.

Well, you want to know what?

When I went to go stop you, I had one thought...

"Her sister being sick

is giving me an excuse to do this."

Because all my other reasons were selfish.

I thought, "Thank God, now I have no choice but to stop her."

So there you go. That's my selfish thought for you.

But at the time, nothing mattered.

Except keeping you off that plane.

"Now that she's single again,

I'll never give her up."

That's all I thought about.

If that's not love for you,

I'm not sure what would be.

I need you.

[gentle music continues playing]

[sobs]

I'm scared.

Don't worry, okay?

I'm here now.

[sobbing]

[gentle music fades]

[Ji-woo continues sobbing]

Ah, I'm only performing the role on weekdays, so there's that.

[Se-yeong] But this theater is a big deal.

[chuckles]

You playing the lead role in such a big show? [gasps]

-Woo-sik, you're a star! -I don't know.

Three of us just rotate playing the part. I only go on, like, once or twice a week.

Still, you're playing an important character.

Your good karma is finally returning to you.

[claps] It's your award for being so good.

-[Woo-sik giggles] -Oh, I wanted to ask you.

-The pay's pretty good for Godot, right? -[thuds]

So I was thinking, let's buy Dong-won a new bed.

Why can't we pay for it with your painting money?

I bought your mom a necklace with it. It's pure gold.

Twenty-four carats actually. Way nicer than her friends are wearing.

You know, she gave us a house.

Joking, I wouldn't do that to you. I'd never spend it all.

That's good.

[both chuckle]

Why won't it come off?

Woo-sik?

Cha Woo-sik?

[quirky music playing]

Did you spend it?

Did you?

When your family depends on it? Huh?

[nervously] Well...

I hear you, but there was something I really wanted to do, so I paid for it.

[scoffs]

God. Well, it better be good.

-Through the home shopping channel. -[laughs sarcastically]

Did you buy that TV? Tell me you didn't.

[panicking] I didn't. That's not what I spent it on.

I didn't buy that. Give me a sec, okay? Let me just find it. Just a sec.

What is it?

DA NANG FAMILY PACKAGE TOUR 5 NIGHTS 7 DAYS SPECIAL PRICE

-Vietnam? -We should get to travel, too, right?

[stutters] I mean, after we inherited the... this building,

we were both so overwhelmed, you know?

You were bending over backwards, trying to pay for it.

Meanwhile, I was only bringing in the crappy part-time income. [sobs]

Our poor Dong-won. [pants]

He deserves a chance to see the world, huh?

[panting]

[cell phone thuds]

What's wrong?

-[sniffles] -[Woo-sik] I'm sorry. Don't cry.

[stutters] I can get a refund. Don't worry, babe. I'll cancel.

I'm gonna cancel it. I'm gonna cancel it. I swear, okay?

[sobs]

-You just make me so... -[Woo-sik] Yes?

[whimpers] God! Honey, you did so good!

-[exclaims, pants] -[Se-yeong sobs, inhales]

Thank you. You're the absolute best.

-You know that? -Huh?

-You're so goddamn cool! -[sobs]

Thank God! You know how glad I am to hear that.

I just told you I could get the money back, but I was lying.

-[sobbing] It was non-refundable. -Get in here.

-You're getting a passport! -[Woo-sik] Bring it in.

-Bring it in. Come here, kiddo. -[sobs]

-[Dong-won] Daddy... -I love you all.

-My family's so beautiful. -[Se-yeong] Let's pack and go to Vietnam.

-[all sobbing] -[Woo-sik] We're going abroad.

CORRECTIONAL CENTER MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

Why are you here?

-I have nothing to say to you. But he... -Whereas I have some questions for you.

Oh, do you?

Why'd you wanna meet with Reporter Kim Doo-jin?

Why would my reasons matter to you?

You know Kang Min-woo?

Of course, I do.

Jin-eon's brother-in-law.

What's going on between you two?

What does it look like to you?

Let me rephrase it for you.

What would Min-woo get

from revealing your relationship with Jin-eon to the world?

Oh, did he?

-Should reporters reveal their source? -[Doo-jin] Well...

I actually didn't know he was the informant, but in the mail...

I have ways of staying informed.

Do you know Kang Min-woo?

No. [sighs] We've said hello.

Maybe met once or twice. So that's funny.

What does that motherfucker think he knows about me?

If you were only calling to find out who informed on you,

will you be leaving Reporter Kim alone?

[suspenseful music playing]

Listen up.

Yeah?

One thing, that's all I ask of you, is help me get the hell out of here.

Why am I stuck in here when Jin-eon's only getting a slap on the wrist?

You know, we both did drugs. Who's gonna get me out of here?

Cho Jin-eon won't answer my calls.

So I reached out to you to dig up who the informant was and screw him over.

But you know... [laughs]

I can't really screw him over if I'm stuck in here.

So you had a pretty good idea that he was the one who informed on you,

and you called Reporter Kim to make sure.

Oh, my.

Is that what it looks like?

[giggles]

Oh, you journalists. I can never get one over on you.

And I really thought I was clever.

You've been calling Kang Min-woo, trying to reach him,

but I bet he's not picking up.

What do you want from me?

Why are you going after Kang Min-woo specifically?

Why choose him to get you out of here when he's the one who informed on you?

What reason might he have to help you out? What do you have on him?

Hmm...

I'm sorry, but there's no big mystery to solve here.

Oops. Sorry to waste your time.

[snickers] But let's just say it's a thriller film,

and I really do have some dirt on him.

Will you help Min-woo with it?

Or get me out of here?

If you're sentenced by a criminal court, there's not much I can do.

Well, Reporter Lee, I'm not saying anything then.

You have no power. So you should probably go.

Don't come back unless you have a good card to play.

Gotta go. I've got a routine to stick to.

There's so many hours of the day,

it's hard to pass the time in here, you know?

Hmm.

[chair clatters]

-Didroxin. -[door opens]

He'll respond to that, trust me.

Didroxin?

That's Kang Min-woo's weak spot, huh?

[music intensifies]

Hmm.

[door slams shut]

[Doo-jin] All because I wrote one stupid article.

The CEO of JARIM has Alzheimer's...

That's not what she has, though.

Kyeong-do, this is some deep shit.

How far will you take it, dude?

Wherever that asshole's going,

I have to get there first.

[cell phone ringing]

ECONOMICS TEAM MA SUNG-CHEOL

-[digital beeps] -Hey.

[Sung-cheol] You read my article yet?

I was out gathering information.

Better be good.

[Sung-cheol] You're not my manager. How dare you...

-[digital beeps] -Look it up.

-Okay. -[suspenseful music playing]

JARIM CEO SEO JI-YEON

'DIDROXIN'S TEMPORARY SIDE EFFECT' NO ISSUE IN MANAGEMENT

'DIDROXIN'S TEMPORARY SIDE EFFECT' NO ISSUE IN MANAGEMENT

[suspenseful music intensifies]

Dementia?

That's what happens if you overdose on it?

Yeah. Mmm.

Seo Ji-yeon?

From JARIM Apparel?

[scoffs] Holy shit.

That man's a major asshole.

Hey.

Send one more thing to him.

But label it this time...

"Didroxin."

"You should probably come for a visit."

"See you soon."

[music swells, stops]

[Mr. Oh] It wasn't posted by Yoo Dan-bi.

It was posted by her friend who was with her and she just tagged her.

Compared to older posts, she's spending way more on these.

Practically waving money around.

Any more weird observations?

It also seems like she's posting less now,

which would indicate she's clearly aware of something.

And what does she do after work?

Well, she does Pilates pretty often.

But she always has a drink after exercising.

It kind of defeats the point.

-And she'll go to restaurants she likes. -By herself?

No. She's never alone. New people every outing.

[machine whirs, clicks]

[machine whirring]

[gentle music playing]

[slurps]

Here.

When your energy is low, you need sugar.

[tuts]

You think I should be eating sugar at, um, like, 10:00 at night?

The future of JARIM depends on it,

you need to eat like you've never eaten before.

[cutlery clattering]

Here.

-[crunching] -See, not so bad.

Mmm. [chuckles]

[birds chirping]

So how has Ji-yeon been doing?

[inhales] Mother, please don't worry about her.

There's nothing wrong with Ji-yeon.

You've read the article.

-[sighs] -[Min-woo] It doesn't get that serious.

[exhales] What's the climate like? At work?

[inhales sharply] At first, it was a big deal.

But when the truth came out, it all calmed down.

-[sighs] -I told you not to worry about it.

It'll make you ill.

-Can I make a call, Mother? -[Hyun-kyeong] Yes. Go right ahead.

[ominous music playing]

[sighs in relief]

Oh, good to see you. When did you get here?

Just now.

What were you doing in my mother's bedroom?

Well, just seeing whether we should change up the tiles.

Swap them for another style.

She said they were too slippery.

[tense music playing]

Did she now?

[groans] How come you're less attentive to her than I am?

-Let's go. -[Ji-yeon] Go ahead.

Ji-woo came along also.

Ji-woo, too?

Well, I'm afraid I have a meeting I have to get to.

Okay.

[door opens, closes]

[music intensifies]

I was planning to keep it between Ji-woo and myself until I settled it.

[sighs]

God, what has this man been doing to you?

Before that...

I believe that he has plans.

To break the news of Ji-woo's story.

What story?

That Ji-woo...

wasn't your father's daughter?

He's going to disclose that?

Mmm. Very likely.

[sighs wearily]

It's something we might as well prepare for.

But I don't understand why he'd be doing that.

It's as I feared.

Now my actions have come back to haunt you.

[dramatic music playing]

[Hyun-kyeong sighs wearily]

[sniffles] You're really suing, huh?

That's quite some gall.

Min-woo.

Trading a company the size of JARIM requires a massive budget.

Yeah, I know.

Nothing guarantees Aaron will invest his money.

-I know that, too. -Then why do you keep avoiding it?

[snickers] I'm telling you,

you really don't have another card to play here.

Ji-woo recruited Lucas, and now the shares have soared.

I need to make sure my ass is covered.

And 30 billion won's no joke. She won't sell amidst all that.

[inhales] You're probably right.

Never thought Ji-woo would be of assistance.

-Min-woo, listen... -You listen.

Bae Jun-soo.

[breathes heavily]

The stock market is fluctuating,

JARIM's value skyrocketed,

so if it's on the market, people will want to purchase it.

Then we won't need Aaron's money to do it.

And you have my word that when that happens, you'll regret suing me.

[intense music playing]

But will it be on the market? Is that something Ji-yeon would agree to?

Of course, she won't.

But I'll just have to make her come around to selling it.

And I've been working on it, huh?

But instead of doing that, now I'm wasting my time here having sushi.

[sighs wearily]

[exhales]

Seo Ji-woo...

was a bastard child.

She's not the chairman's daughter. I mailed the DNA to prove it.

Ji-yeon's little dementia show, Ji-woo not being a real heir...

That is a risk for management.

I talked to Director Choi about it.

Once the article about her heritage is released,

Ji-woo will be kicked out. Then Seo Ji-yeon will stagger.

Anything she says after that, won't mean a thing.

[music swells, fades]

What?

But how can you do a DNA test after your father passed away?

Are you sure?

I've looked it all up.

If my mother, Ji-yeon, and I all take a DNA test,

it'll come back showing we have different fathers.

[sighing in despair] Whoa...

I'm doing all right.

But my mother, I'm not sure.

The company would come after me, too.

You sure you're all right?

Mmm, well...

[inhales] My phone will be bombarded with people calling and texting.

That happened with my divorce article. [exhales]

But it normally calms down after a while.

[inhales, sighs wearily]

Kang Min-woo just won't let it go.

Let's beat him to it.

Min-woo wants to play around?

Then we'll just have to beat him to the punch and play right back.

If you want to.

Huh...

[gasps]

You're so clever, you know.

[chuckles] You earned that position, you weren't just lucky.

[exhilarating music playing]

[scoffs]

[sighs softly]

Hey, sit down.

[Doo-jin] Let me just borrow a pen.

-Don't touch my shit. -[Doo-jin] Let me use it.

Please, just this once.

Oh! Why are you here?

[Han-kyeong] Hello.

What can I offer you? Would you prefer some coffee or tea?

Oh. A coffee would be great. I'll take iced, if you can.

You heard. Get us two iced americanos. Come with me.

Uh, three iced.

-What? -[Han-kyeong] First time here?

[Ji-woo] Yeah, it's really interesting.

Entertainment team at the end of the hall.

-Uh-huh. -That's the Politics crew.

-Current affairs. -Ah.

In here.

[music fades]

-Why are you... -Guess they're gonna have some girl talk.

Go get the coffee.

Yes, sir.

Seriously, what?

Wait.

Huh?

[sighs] That's rude.

I would like...

for you to write the article about me.

What now?

I don't want the piece to be written by someone biased in my direction.

I want it to be an objective exposé.

With the hope it might make the reader be more sympathetic.

You won't get any pity however it's written.

You just need to show yourself.

Be who you are.

You think so? Just tell the truth?

Yep.

[chuckles]

[inhales] Sounds good. You can even release it as an exclusive.

We could get you a couple of photos, too.

Sounds like a plan. [inhales sharply] The shots, um...

You won't be using random images from the Internet.

Uh, are you...

[quirky music playing]

He's like a pet that needs to go out.

[laughs] Oh, I'll find a photographer.

We can start working on it today.

How about going to the salon, and I'll track down a photographer?

-Thank you. I appreciate it. -No, we appreciate you.

-You gave us this story. -[gasps softly]

Oh, I have no doubt it'll draw in tons of readers.

An affair, a bastard child.

People love a scandal.

[chuckles]

-Then I'll see you later. -Oh, yeah, sure.

Take care. I'll see you in a little bit.

-Bye. Thanks for the coffee. -[chuckles] Mmm-hmm. Talk soon.

[inhales sharply]

Why are you meeting with my department manager?

I didn't wanna give my story to an assistant.

Really? I'm the golden boy of Dongwoon Daily.

You can call yourself that. It'll never catch on.

[elevator dings, door opens]

[quirky music fades, stops]

[chuckles softly]

Is she serious right now?

[scoffs]

[Han-kyeong] Yeah, this is perfect.

I think we should take the photos first if that's all right.

[photographer] Sounds good.

[Han-kyeong] There are quite a few diverse spaces here.

What should we do to get some natural-looking...

[gentle music playing]

[camera shutter clicking]

[Han-kyeong] Mmm... Wait. Oh, that's good.

I like the third one. Oh, yeah. It's perfect with the breeze.

[scoffs] Oh, man.

Even like this, she's pretty.

[breathes heavily]

She can't hide her beauty.

[chuckles]

When did you first find out about that? How old were you?

I was 28 years old.

And before that point, you didn't know?

Yeah.

But that's pretty much my father for you.

[inhales] He treated me just like his biological child.

In fact, he might have favored me over my sister.

I imagine that your head must have been spinning when you found out.

Oh, yeah.

It really weighed on me.

Mmm, how should I put it?

I guess I felt like a fraud?

Like an imposter who didn't deserve everything I took for granted.

I became so self-destructive.

I looked at my surroundings and all the people I knew.

It was like I grew up in a world where I didn't belong.

I was ashamed of it all,

and I just ran away from it.

Once you found out, were you able to bring it up

to anyone else in your immediate family?

Not at all.

When I was at the airport leaving for the U.S.,

I talked to my dad about a lot of things.

So many different things.

But I really just wanted him to know that I was grateful,

and that I loved him, and that he meant a lot to me.

As for my mother, we've only talked about it in the last day or two.

Telling your story was probably not an easy call to make for yourself

and for your mother as well.

But she agreed to it in the end.

If you'd be uncomfortable with me doing it, just say.

It's gonna come out eventually.

[inhales] Kang Min-woo made sure of it.

He managed to get DNA samples somehow.

I know I brought this on our family.

[sighs in exasperation]

But how can I live with that?

How can I live with my head held high?

[inhales]

[sobs] You see it.

Well, it... [voice shaking] It was a difficult time.

[sobs] And no one understood how much I was struggling.

[gasps] Your dad lived at the office while I was left alone in a giant house...

[voice breaking] ...just like a princess trapped in a tower.

I could barely eat any food. [sobs] I was dying slowly.

[crying] I didn't go to Paris to meet another guy.

One thing led to another, and then it just... [sniffles]

[crying] ...it happened.

[sobbing]

[wailing]

[sniffles, sobs]

[somber music playing]

You know, Mom?

[whimpers]

What tortured me the most...

It wasn't you cheating on Dad.

It was that you blamed your little girl and made her pay for it.

I had no idea about any of that.

[sighs wearily]

You made me feel so hated...

[voice shaking] ...my whole life.

[sniffles, inhales]

That's what hurt worst of all.

[sniffles, sighs heavily]

[breathing heavily]

Well, my life...

is about to be over.

[sniffles]

But you...

Will you get through this?

Mmm-hmm.

I don't think things will be much harder, really. [sighs]

Or at least not much harder than my childhood.

[whimpers]

[Han-kyeong] You could've easily just kept the secret within the family.

So I'm actually curious, why did you wanna speak to me?

Before my father passed away,

he always hoped I would help him with JARIM Apparel.

I believed I had no right to be there, so I just kept on running away.

But now, I'm ready to help my sister and support her as CEO.

And I'm ready to work hard to make JARIM the best it can be

as a way to repay my father for what he did.

Honesty and transparency, too, about my situation are important.

Makes sense to me.

Pretty smart.

[scoffs]

[sighs softly]

[music fades]

[Jeong-min] Vacation?

They went abroad now? When stuff's going down?

But who will I eat with now?

Oh, jeez.

[Mr. Kim] Wait.

Hey, it's Kyeong-do.

Hmm?

[Mr. Kim laughs] Hey, Kyeong-do.

-Why are you here? -Hi there.

What's that?

Come on...

Turn that front upside down, you're too pretty for that.

[scoffs] What's with the camper?

It's actually a carriage that used to be a pumpkin.

Now, get in.

[laughing] That's awesome.

See ya, Mr. Kim.

-Make sure she eats. -Okay.

-Good night. -Drive safely.

Let's go.

[gentle music playing]

-Ever been in one? -No.

Who loaned this to you? Where's it from?

That doesn't matter.

What matters is, it's ours for now. Enjoy it.

[sighs in exasperation]

How do you drive something this big? Are you even allowed to?

-I have a license for it. -I see.

Anyway, where are we heading? I just want to go to sleep.

Sleep in the back. We have a bed and a shower.

I'll make you some food. I got it all covered.

[chuckles] What are you so excited for? You didn't even come today.

Well, I was pretty busy.

I had to buy lights, of course, for outside, then went grocery shopping.

Wasn't sure what you were in the mood for,

so I compromised and basically bought up the whole store.

[giggles]

[upbeat music playing]

-Think you'll be finished today? -Well, I connected it.

Maybe it's broken?

I tested it earlier, though. I guess it could have broken on the way.

I'm hungry. Ramyeon time.

Wait, you're mixing the order up. Barbecue, first.

Ramyeon is the second dish. Kick up your feet. Sit down.

Don't worry. I'm the charcoal expert.

Sit down.

Hey, I think it's burning.

Wait. No. False alarm.

I don't perform well under pressure.

Maybe that's why.

I guess the meat can be second dish.

Yeah.

We'll think outside the box. You know, open our minds.

-[sizzling] -[Kyeong-do chuckles]

[owl hooting]

[slurping]

[munching] Mmm...

This makes me think of a certain old-timey proverb.

-You're gonna criticize me? -"Hunger makes anything taste great."

Right now, it's super fitting.

"Hunger makes anything taste great." It's so poetic, isn't it?

-[munching] -[utensils clattering]

Mmm-mmm.

[Kyeong-do slurps]

[sighs in relief]

[Ji-woo] The tea smells nice.

-English tea, since you like England. -[chuckles]

[laughing]

[grunts]

[inhales] It's getting a little bit...

[Kyeong-do] There you go.

[gentle music playing]

Been a hard day?

Actually, more...

Well, no, it was pretty hard.

You looked beautiful.

Were you there?

No, I can assume since you look great in everything.

I stopped by.

Wanted to see how you were doing. Check in on you.

Why didn't you say hello?

[breathes heavily] Mainly guilt.

For asking you to do the article.

I felt bad enough without bothering you.

Oh, my God. Don't feel bad, dummy.

I appreciate it.

I wanna thank you, Kyeong-do, really.

I'm embarrassed.

[inhales sharply] Then, um...

Would a kiss fix it?

[inhales] Yep.

[gentle music continues playing]

[Ji-woo] Thank you for this.

[gentle music fades, stops]

-[sighs in relief] -Oh, wow, that's pretty good.

[chuckles]

[sighs] What would you do without me, huh?

Mmm?

-Here. -Mmm, mmm. [giggles]

[slurps]

[Ji-woo] Mmm.

I'm still sleepy.

[gasps] Carry me around.

That would wake me up. I know it.

-I can't carry you on an empty stomach. -Wow, but you carried Bella Jin.

Yeah, but that was different.

[sighs] You and I...

should just be cherishing time together.

I'm really not interested in strength training.

[quirky music playing]

[Ji-woo] Hmm.

-All right. [grunts] -[giggles]

Here we go.

[laughing]

-Mmm. Good job. -[chuckles]

[chuckles softly]

Ten more minutes of this and I'll wake up.

-Ten more? -Uh-huh.

All right.

Do they think they're in a romantic comedy for real? [scoffs]

Plus, who goes to work from here?

[car honks]

Hey. Good morning!

Good morning.

Laughing? [chuckles] Well, I'll be damned.

[smacks lips]

Of course, Kyeong-do is the only one who could bring her smile back.

[man] Hi.

-It was great. Thank you. -You're welcome.

That's a bizarre way to commute.

[Kyeong-do grunts]

[RV door closes, engine starts]

[Han-kyeong] Kyeong-do? Kyeong-do! What's going on?

[excitedly] Whatcha got brewin'?

What's the RV for? Did you cover someone big?

No, I pretty much just wanted to experience RV commuting.

-You had it for no reason at all? -Yeah.

RVs and celebs? I don't get it.

Well, way back when, he would bust his ass to get news.

When Actor Ha Min-su was in his prime, getting interviews was impossible.

'Cause he was always too busy filming.

Then Lee Kyeong-do rented a camping car, right?

He kidnapped the guy saying he'd give him a ride from Seoul to Busan.

[sighs wearily]

-[Doo-jin gasps] -He later said he got in the RV

'cause of Kyeong-do's tenacity. Kyeong-do even offered to buy him drinks.

And he gathered up as much information as he could.

[sighs] You and your petty tricks. [groans]

I'm petty? Come here, asshole.

-[Doo-jin exclaiming] -Say it.

The craziest part of the story?

Yeah, Ha Min-su later bought that RV off him.

-Yes, he did. -Ever since then,

he's driven the RV to the set.

Whoa, did the company give you a brand deal?

No, they didn't.

And... So, today, you have nothing.

-Is that right? -Mmm-hmm.

Well, I...

gathered news about who I am, deep down inside.

Why are you spouting bullshit?

It's not bullshit.

I respect you, but we've never gotten along because you're mean.

-We get along. I'm not mean. -We don't!

-Just banter, like sparring. -I'm not.

I am so uncomfortable. [groans]

The maeuntang here is your favorite.

Or my father told me that it was.

He would always offer to take us here for soju.

I'll do it.

Mmm. Thank you very much.

[smacks lips] Eat up.

[cutlery clattering]

Mmm...

No wonder you're a regular here.

Mmm.

I assume we're here for a reason?

I bet you already know.

There's chatter amongst the executives.

The employees will forget about the scandal and go back to normal.

But the shareholders are different.

Handle the shareholders and executives.

I'm asking you to assuage their fears.

-I know that's something you can do. -I could do that. Sure.

I can speak to them,

but I'm not comfortable with the situation either, to be frank.

Hmm.

I'll be honest with you.

My father wasn't comfortable either.

When you went to MANZAAR,

and had the gall to poach their designer to launch a brand of your own...

I know about that, too.

When my father was in the hospital, he told me all about the stunt you pulled.

[tense music playing]

He buried it and made sure no one would ever find out.

He believed in you.

"When it comes down to it," he said, "she'll come through for you."

It's time to repay him.

I need you to help me here.

Waitress.

One more soju over here.

At the time,

he never mentioned he was disappointed or hurt.

And that was so like him.

That's the man he was.

Here's your one time.

Ma'am, if Director Seo Ji-woo causes any more problems,

then I can't promise you that they won't come for your position.

That's the atmosphere at the moment.

Could you pour me a glass?

[music intensifies]

I really appreciate it.

[chuckles softly]

[music fades]

-My guess is, that's when it happened. -When what?

[inhales] Around when you were hurt.

I bet you, that's when Ji-woo found out.

And that's why she ran away.

But still, I think she turned out all right.

[chuckles] Yes, she did.

Should we invite her over for dinner?

Kyeong-do's gonna hate it.

-Oh, yeah. -[sighs]

[sighs heavily]

[pleasant music playing]

[giggles]

Why didn't you tell me you would be here?

Well, I didn't know whether you were invited.

I'm their son. I can show up whenever.

Yet you rarely come when you're invited.

[chuckles] Right. Well, work and, you know...

[Nam-sook] Here.

-Eat up, all right? -Thank you very much.

I love yukgaejang. It's one of my favorites.

[both chuckle]

-Huh? -[whispers] Hurry up and eat.

Uh. Right.

-I hope you enjoy. -I will. Thank you for the food.

[groans]

Soju craving?

Ah!

I know that look. It's too spicy.

[all chuckle]

You know, I'm not sure why I'm surprised,

'cause I could tell it was spicy from how it looked.

If you hadn't opened a laundromat,

you should've opened a yukgaejang restaurant instead.

[both chuckling]

[all chuckling]

[Kyeong-do] Thank you for the food.

[exclaims]

Wow. Bulgogi.

Thank you.

[Han-soo] Please, eat.

Well, can I have this bulgogi, too?

As much as you want.

[all chuckling]

[Kyeong-do] Ah, I'm so full...

[Han-soo chuckles]

-Dinner was really good. -[Han-soo laughs]

[Han-soo grunts]

[TV beeps]

-You serious right now? -What? I muted it. [laughs]

Stop watching baseball. God, you're addicted.

-Just so you know... -What? What?

Ah, well, the way I see it, you know...

Trying to quit what you love, whatever that interest is,

uh...

it's really difficult to do.

[chuckles]

[quirky music playing]

When it comes to possible addictions you could have, that's a good one.

Watching sports is healthy.

-I heard it prevents dementia. -[Ji-woo] Really?

-Is it better than sudoku? -Nah. Sudoku is terrible.

It could lead to a gaming addiction.

Ah! True. You've got a point. [chuckles]

-He hit it hard! -What? Really, really?

Nah. That was the other team.

[gasps] Ah, you're a Hanyeong guy.

-Yeah. -[Ji-woo laughs]

Ever seen them losing by seven-nil, only to turn around completely?

No, unfortunately, I missed it.

-[Han-soo laughs] Do you like baseball? -Oh, yeah, kind of.

[Han-soo exclaims, laughs heartily]

-We're both fans. -Yeah. Of course, I am.

-Let me give you a piece of this apple. -Oh, thank you.

-Although I didn't really peel it. -Oh, thank you. [laughs]

[ominous music playing]

[breathing deeply]

Huh.

Maybe. If Seo Ji-yeon was the bastard child,

but it's Ji-woo instead. Who cares?

[scoffs]

That won't affect the management.

We got nothing that won't move the needle.

A K.O.'s just one way to win.

You can also win by decision.

[sighs]

Do you know what Koreans view as the biggest moral failing?

Affairs.

The wife of JARIM's late esteemed leader was an adulteress.

And her daughter is one, too.

[Ji-woo] I think this alley is pretty.

It's cozy.

[Kyeong-do chuckles softly]

I heard it said that married couples start to mimic each other.

Copycat.

Calm it down, buddy. [laughs]

[Kyeong-do] All right. [laughs]

I like the word "alley".

The sound of it.

"Alleyway."

"Alley-gator."

Other words with "alley".

[gentle music playing]

Ah, you were the ace of the culture team, huh?

[chuckles softly]

Can I be honest?

It was strange, us just having dinner together with your parents like that.

[chuckles softly]

Why? How so?

Because in-laws are stressful?

-That what it is? -Oh, no.

I had a good time tonight.

It was great.

Much like this alley.

It was very cozy.

[chuckles]

[Kyeong-do] Let's live our lives, like this alley.

-[footsteps echoing] -[ominous music playing]

[Min-woo] The wife of JARIM's late esteemed leader was an adulteress.

And her daughter is one, too.

There will be a boycott of JARIM.

Ji-woo and Ji-yeon's days are numbered, they'll be dethroned.

And the company...

will be sold.

[music swells, fades]

[sighs softly]

[slow, pop music playing]

So, you're leaving?

[Kyeong-do] Know what it's like?

Might as well disappear. We might as well die!

[Han-kyeong] You two lived outside the country.

-Director Seo Ji-woo. -Director Seo Ji-woo.

Don't you think that's wildly irresponsible?

[Kyeong-do] Let her be an adulteress for the rest of her life?

[Min-woo] I'm here because someone's been causing trouble.

Kang Min-woo, are you out of ammo?

[Ji-woo] I'll go. And if I can't bear it, I'll come back.

[Kyeong-do] Ji-woo, please...

have a good life.

[slow, pop music continues playing]
