LOVE IN DISGUISE

THIS DRAMA IS FICTITIOUS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED IN COMPLIANCE WITH GUIDELINES

AI-BASED TECHNOLOGY WAS USED IN PARTS OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS

Yesterday…

I realized that I may have assumed…

Uh, sorry, what was that about yesterday, sir?

It seems I misinterpreted your intentions,

but anyone in my position would have.

Right, I see.

Okay, I'll just go.

-Do it here. -[gasps]

-[gasps] -For the first time in a while,

I've made up my mind.

Anyway… here's what I'm getting at.

[Jae-hee] Can you please stop moving?

I'm just… Wait.

-Ugh, I heard you! -Where do you think you're going?

-I'm talking to you! -I said I get it!

[grunts, exclaims]

-[gasps] -[Yi-jun grunts]

[strained grunts]

[upbeat passionate music playing]

KUNMANDU

[Jae-hee's dad sighs, clears throat]

Hold on a sec. I should give the princess a call.

[Jae-hee's mom groans]

Why are you calling her so early when she's too busy to even come home?

You're right.

[groans] You'll annoy her. Just leave it.

[inhales]

It's just… I had the most peculiar dream last night, that's all.

What about?

Well, you see,

I dreamt of a white steed.

I could tell it had an amazing pedigree.

It was galloping right towards me.

-[rhythmic chopping] -[horse neighing]

[romantic orchestral music playing]

[Jae-hee's dad] Then, a dashing knight…

[neighs]

…elegantly dismounted from the horse

and majestically dipped the other person with one arm.

Then, Jae-hee…

Oh, my goodness. [gasps]

Oh my, this must be a sign.

You see, the knight dipped Jae-hee.

It means she's dating a guy!

Or… getting married! Even better!

[laughing]

She was the one riding.

-[comical music playing] -Riding what?

The white steed.

The knight on the white steed was our daughter.

Oh, jeez, were you even listening to the story?

[Jae-hee's mom] Oh, for goodness sake. Ugh.

[intense drum beating]

[gentle romantic music playing]

Who's the princess then?

That's the thing.

There was…

this pale-looking normal guy…

that… needed rescuing.

[dreamy romantic music playing]

[Jae-hee's mom] What a pointless dream.

Whatever it takes,

I'll get Jae-hee to marry that punk on the white steed.

Daughters tend to follow their mother's footsteps.

Don't say that.

You take that back!

[spits]

Watch what you say!

Ugh, I'm telling you, if Jae-hee ever brings home

some pale-looking punk, I'll…

I'll smack him.

I'll smack him with a bunch of green onions.

I swear I'll do it.

What are you looking at?

Um, upon visual inspection, you seem fine.

Are you okay?

What if I said I wasn't?

-Would you keep this up? -[gasps]

-[groans] -Oops.

[grunts, groans]

[exhales]

You slammed me again.

Again!

Allow me to continue where you left off earlier, sir.

What you were about to say to me was that I ap…

Apply yourself.

Apply myself?

Apply yourself and do the job right.

Wait, what do you mean you want me to do the job right?

What? Should I do it?

Wow.

Whatever.

I'm going out.

[sighs]

[chiming effect]

Oh, you want me to come along?

I see you've already forgotten what your job is.

I have not.

I'm your personal secretary,

but yesterday, you told me to stay put.

You told me to wait in the car and stay away from the second floor.

You really do hold a grudge, don't you?

I also said I'm 50/50 on you.

Half trust, half skeptical.

If you want to earn my trust, put your back into it.

[Jae-hee] Wait till I find the proof.

I'll bust your tight abs.

Why are you still here?

I'll catch a cold if I stand around.

[inhales]

[quiet frustrated scream]

[grunts]

Oh, I wish I could beat him up, just for me.

[sighs]

[tense music playing]

EPISODE 3

[light music playing]

[exhales]

[inhales]

[groaning]

[exhales]

[Hye-jung] If you wanna pretend we're strangers,

we should commit to that.

But if you wanna dance, let's hit the floor.

[soft music playing]

[glass clinking]

[liquid sloshing]

[glass clinks]

[machine whirring]

[soft chuckle] You're awake.

Good morning.

[sucks teeth, exhales]

Did you sleep well?

Oh, the Taekang Goddess has returned.

I had fun last night.

You had fun?

[inhales]

Have I already become a thing of the past?

Was last night a letdown?

It wasn't for me.

[soft chuckle]

Same for me.

Oh, yeah?

I'll say yes to some guys, have a good time, and send them home.

That's how I feel.

[wistful music playing]

[Hye-jung] I'll get going.

-[door lock beeps] -[door opens]

-[door closes] -[door lock beeps]

Is that line trending?

[groans]

[grunting]

[soft grunt]

[humming]

[soft chuckle]

You're fascinating, Lee Hye-jung.

Wow.

[Jae-hee] Whoa, how many watches does he need?

[quirky upbeat music playing]

That's tacky.

How can someone wear something like this?

[sighs]

[Jae-hee] Upon visual inspection, you seem fine.

Are you okay?

[Yi-jun] What if I said I wasn't?

-Would you keep this up? -[gasps]

[grunts, groans]

He keeps screwing me over.

[inhales]

This won't do.

I'm gonna have to straighten him out first.

What's taking so long?

You fly all the way to Milan to get my…

[door closes]

Seriously?

-[Jae-hee] Huh? -Do you think…

that I'm actually gonna wear that?

You said you were heading out,

so I thought I would pick out a low-key outfit.

Low-key?

Low-key?

Listen up, Army Man.

I am the face of the Taekang Group.

That means everything that I wear is also the face of Taekang.

You think I should wear this clown suit and parade around town like a maniac?

[gasps] Uh…

-Forget it. -Uh…

Pants first.

[sighs]

What are you doing?

I'm being your human clothing rack, sir.

I get that,

but I wanna know why my rack is facing away.

[gulps]

I don't know what your deal is.

-You a prude? -I mean…

even between two guys,

there's still a thing called personal space.

Sir, when you just…

casually whip off your clothes, it…

Oh, this is stupid.

What's the problem?

You were fine earlier.

Ugh, I didn't…

I didn't look on purpose.

I was just checking if you were hurt.

I'm sure you and your squad mates used to change together.

Am I right?

Next time, you do it.

[rattling effect]

It's only fair.

[gentle music playing]

[gasps]

What are you doing, sir?

What are you, a child?

Can't you put on a tie properly?

I was going to pay your hospital bill, but you seem fine.

[Yi-jun] Who are you?

Who sent you?

Gonna see if I was hurt yesterday-- [grunts]

You weren't, so forget it.

[gasps]

[Jae-hee] So, uh… where are you headed, sir?

[Yi-jun] This place.

[clears throat]

Pardon me, sir.

I checked the camera,

and it only had photos from when you left the house

to when you got to the art center.

I'll look into the reporter, then decide what to do.

Let him be. I know him.

You know him, sir?

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR YOON NA-JUNG

[breathes deeply]

-[door opens, closes] -[gasps]

-[Na-jung] He got caught? [huffs] -Oh.

What did I tell you?

I told you Yi-jun's not an easy--

Your man couldn't even follow the punk.

Fire him!

If I do that, what if word gets around

that the company CEO was spying on his own people?

Honey.

Uh-huh?

Think of the shareholder meeting.

I know, I know.

Would Yi-jun have done that with the shareholder meeting

right around the corner though?

It actually doesn't matter if he killed anyone.

True. What matters more are your dad's intentions.

I get that a crisis for Yi-jun could be a good thing,

but your dad seemed intent on sweeping this under the rug.

Well, he can't.

What?

Our dear Chairman Yoon really knows how to work the numbers.

But if he stands to lose something,

not even his children are safe from him.

Honey, just tell me what the heck you're thinking.

You know that new personal secretary of his?

I think it's about time I met up with him.

[chuckles]

[Jae-hee] Yoon Yi-jun's visiting a columbarium.

Could he be here for Han Eun-young?

OUR DEAREST DAUGHTER

HAN EUN-YOUNG

Yoon Yi-jun, what are you thinking?

[Captain Park] Why on earth would he come to visit a columbarium?

I wonder what the heck's going on inside that prick's head.

I used to attend criminal profiling lectures,

and speaking from a profiling standpoint,

-he-- -Detective Kim, what do you think?

Though we'd need an expert opinion,

perpetrators have been known to develop PTSD from their crimes,

then blaming their victims for it.

These feelings stem from a sense of having lost control

when things don't go to plan.

-Exactly. So, so that loss of-- -Shh!

And then?

Or he's trying to compensate for the guilt he feels due to cognitive dissonance.

Hmm.

May also be a defense mechanism seen in high-functioning sociopaths.

Great. Wan-gu, did you have some thoughts you wanted to add?

-Me? My thoughts? -Uh-huh.

[bell chiming effect]

Here's what I think.

Why else would he feel sorry about it?

Because they were seeing each other.

Mm, so you said.

Anyway, I'm sure the cracks will start showing

now that he's facing the deceased.

We'll have to catch him when his guard is down.

Keep an eye on him.

[sighs]

ALL RECORDED FILES

[footsteps approaching]

[chimes]

[bird cawing]

Sir, wasn't she your secretary?

That's right.

You must have cared for her.

It's a long way to come for a visit.

I wanted to apologize.

Apologize for what?

Well, I'm the reason she's dead.

[Jae-hee] Is he admitting his guilt right now?

I need him to be more specific.

I'm not sure I understand, sir.

Are you saying you killed her, Mr. Yoon?

[tense music playing]

You.

What's with all the questions?

What are you getting at, Mr. Soldier Boy?

You knew what you were getting into on the day of the interview.

What? Don't tell me you're getting cold feet.

You worried that could happen to you?

If you're so scared, just quit.

I won't stop you.

I am not quitting.

I'll stand by your side, sir.

[Yi-jun] What's with all the questions?

What are you getting at, Mr. Soldier Boy?

Don't tell me you're getting cold feet.

You worried that could happen to you?

He fell for it.

Hey, we got it. Let's go!

Hey, get a move on!

What are we waiting for?

'Cause this is illegally obtained evidence.

[groans] I know. You think I don't know that?

But if we just nab him and grill him good,

just put him in a room with Kang, and beat--

The problem is, is that it's a matter of criminal procedure.

This evidence wouldn't hold up in court. Don't you get it?

Kinda.

[sighs]

[sighs]

Dang.

[superior] Fine, go fill up your schedule.

Get some evidence, or…

you are really gonna get it.

[sighs]

We can't afford to wait for her to find the phone.

-That prick, Mr. Park. -Should we summon him?

[engine revving]

Go home now.

It's not time for me to go home yet.

I said go.

[Ms. Choi] Mr. Kang.

When Mr. Yoon is like that, just give him space.

I, uh, used to work at his family home and followed him when he moved.

I get why he ended up with such a cold disposition.

Your home should feel like one.

The chairman was always strict, but ever since his wife's unusual death…

[gasps]

Oh, um, that's confidential.

I'm sure you signed an NDA as well.

Pretend you didn't hear that.

Mm.

Or it may not turn out well for you. Got it?

-Uh, yes. -[Ms. Choi chuckles awkwardly]

Hey, uh, does anyone ever visit Mr. Yoon?

Any friends or family come around?

Mr. Kim's the only person I've met who's been here.

Mm-hmm. Mr. Yoon doesn't really care for visitors.

Although his older sister did occasionally drop by,

but I guess she's busy nowadays.

[Ms. Choi chuckles]

By the way, Mr. Kang…

do you have a girlfriend?

What?

What kind of girl do you like?

It's just that I have three daughters and…

Well, they're all pretty like me.

Oh, uh…

My, you seem excited.

-Not at all. -Huh?

-Uh… -Oh, just humor me.

-I wasn't excited. -Okay?

-Just pick one of them for me. -[sighs]

[Yi-jun] I wanted to apologize.

Well, I'm the reason she's dead.

[pensive music playing]

Don't tell me you're getting cold feet.

You worried that could happen to you?

[sighs]

[panting]

I was going to pay your hospital bill, but you seem fine.

[sighs]

SAESUPGIL HAEJANGGUK

[Hye-jung] Auntie, can I get a large haejangguk?

Goodness, you should give the bottle a rest, eh?

One might think you're a woman with a tragic backstory.

What's a girl like you doing coming to a place like this

and throwing a pity party for yourself every day?

Everyone has a tragic backstory.

You too?

I do.

You see…

I've got this really big secret weighing me down.

-What is it? -[Hye-jung] Get this.

She's going to have an accident and die.

[actress] …Gyeong-ho who did it?

-I don't believe it. -[store owner] Hey!

I haven't made it that far yet.

And that's the very reason

why you shouldn't pry into other people's secrets.

[store owner] Oh?

Look at her.

She went digging only to end up dead.

[tense music sting]

[store owner] Oh…

Oh my.

[Yi-jun] Ms. Han.

-[thunder rumbling] -Ms. Han!

Ms. Han!

-[thunder rumbling] -[gasps]

[gasping]

[exhales shakily]

[panting]

[phone ringing]

-[ringing continues] -[groans]

MR. YOON YI-JUN

[clearing throat]

Yeah, hello?

Huh?

What? [sighs]

[tires screeching]

[Jae-hee] Thank you very much.

[beeps, chimes]

What's going on? [panting]

[Jae-hee] Hmm…

[Jae-hee inhales]

All right, so what you're telling me is you drank from this bottle yesterday,

and the milk in the bottle you drank from has increased by 10 mL?

Yeah, that's right.

This is a one-liter bottle.

I drank 250 mL, right?

What should that leave me with?

Did you measure exactly 250 when you poured it?

I didn't.

Did you check to see how much you actually drank?

I didn't.

Then how can you be so sure that you drank exactly 250?

When I held the glass in my hand, I could tell the difference right then,

so wouldn't that mean something was added to it?

This is why you made a huge deal as if something terrible happened

-and told me to rush over here? -What could be worse than this?

You said you'd stand by my side.

Did you mean it?

[scoffs]

Throw them all out. They feel off.

Did I really say that?

[Yi-jun] If you're so scared, just quit.

I won't stop you.

I am not quitting.

I'll stand by your side, sir.

Why's that?

I need the money.

And no one else pays as much money as you do…

Mr. Yoon.

[warbling effect]

I guess I did.

[inhales]

Which is why I expect you to earn your keep, yeah?

I'm going to sleep.

Right, so good night, sir.

I'll head home then.

I said I'm going to bed now.

[Jae-hee] So what do you need?

Well, I'm not sleeping very well, and now I can't even drink milk to help.

What should I do?

[Jae-hee] How much longer do I have to let this idiot

wake me up in the middle of the night?

Just keep me safe until I'm asleep.

[frustrated groan]

[Jae-hee] Hold on.

Once he's asleep, I could…

check out that room.

[gasps]

Understood, sir.

I'll stand by your side until you fall asleep.

I'll keep you safe, sir.

Let's go.

-Here. Let's go. -Uh, wait, I…

Good night. Let's go.

-What about the milk? -Hurry along now.

[narrator] Her role was not that of a trained commander,

but her presence carried symbolic force.

At the Siege of Orléans, French morale was restored,

and the course of the war began to shift.

Do you like documentaries, sir?

She distinguished herself in many battles, and even led her side to victory.

So you're a history geek.

She was such an inspiration.

In France, there's even a statue of her on horseback,

making her triumphant return.

But isn't it amazing?

They say despite her heroics,

she went around

disguised as a man right up to the end.

So you're actually a hero geek.

But Mr. Yoon… [sighs]

…at this rate, we'll stay up all night.

Let's go to your bedroom.

[Jerry meows]

Did you know about Atalanta?

I didn't, sir.

She was the greatest archer in Greco-Roman mythology.

Would you by chance like to spar with me, sir?

I can make sure you're out cold for the rest of the night.

[Jerry hisses]

[Jerry purring]

I hate working up a sweat.

[Yi-jun chuckles]

Even he knows I feel that way,

so how could my personal secretary not know that? [tuts]

[Jae-hee] I don't care about your feelings.

Just go to sleep.

Although…

it is strange.

Dear Jerry here has always been partial to men.

At least that was the case with Kim Si-hyun

and that ungrateful Mr. Jung.

And yet, it appears you're the only one he despises.

[gulps]

Right, Jerry?

[low growling]

[knife whooshing effect]

Our dear Army Man here…

seems extraordinarily beneath you, doesn't he?

-[Jae-hee sighs] -[meows]

[Yi-jun] Yes, you're right.

-Gosh, you're so smart. -[hisses]

Hmm? [chuckles]

Hey, kitty cat, come over here.

[Jerry meows]

[Jae-hee] Come here.

It's lactose-free, so you can drink it.

Super expensive.

Drink it up.

Sheesh, I told you to drink the milk.

Also, if you keep acting all jumpy, he'll trust me less, huh?

So from here on out, let's try to get along.

Hmm? Deal?

[low growling]

Huh? Why are you glaring at me?

[meows]

[calm voice] Treat yourself to a comfortable night

-for a hard day's work. -[tranquil music playing]

This meditation aims to ease you into deep sleep

through breathing exercises that will relax your body and mind.

-No yawning. -[yawns]

Mr. Yoon, I'm only human.

I did drive you around all day, you know?

On top of that, I took a Korean listening evaluation.

I'll have to go home after you fall asleep,

then come back to work again.

-Of course I'm a little tired. -[sucks teeth]

[Yi-jun] Shh!

I'll stop yawning.

[yawns] Poof!

-[guide] Your body and mind are relaxing. -[breathes softly]

[hisses]

[Jae-hee] I was breathing.

-[guide] With every exhale… -[meows]

…release all the tension in your body.

-[Jae-hee snoring] -[music stops]

[comical music playing]

[Yi-jun clears throat loudly]

[Jae-hee snoring]

-[inhales deeply] -[claps]

[soft chuckle]

[gentle music playing]

-[gasps] -[music stops]

I don't like it. [gasps]

Everything about you is too weird.

[Yi-jun breathing shakily]

[soft quirky music playing]

[low tense music playing]

[beeps, chimes]

[Ms. Choi] Mr. Kang?

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

[gasps]

[Jae-hee groaning]

Goodness, why were you sleeping here?

Huh? Um, what am I doing here?

How would I know?

I was just as surprised as you.

[gasps]

Where's Mr. Yoon?

-Mm… in his bedroom, I suppose. -[sighs]

Uh, I… I'll get ready for work and be right back.

[breathing heavily]

Hey.

Ugh, that damn cat.

He's a picky eater, like his owner.

[suspenseful music playing]

What?

[Jae-hee] What's up with this milk?

It turned the bowl black.

When I held the glass in my hand, I could tell the difference right then,

so wouldn't that mean something was added to it?

[Ms. Choi] This way, please.

[Jerry meows]

[low growling]

[hisses]

[eerie music sting]

[Jae-hee] Something strange is going on in this house.

Let's see. I'll go this way,

-and you go that way, okay? -Yes, sir.

Go.

[Captain Park] "251YI3108."

[panting] Captain.

-Not there? -No.

And it seems he may have been gone a while.

Where could he be?

So he ditched his car, and now we can't find him anywhere.

-[phone buzzes] -We'll see if we can track him down.

Where was the management office?

[Jae-hee] Mr. Kim, come to Yoon Yi-jun's house right now.

Detective Kang needs me over there.

Why? She get into trouble?

-[eerie music sting] -[phone buzzing]

Let's go out for soju another time.

Someone around you?

Oh, I just don't think I can make it to see you today.

[Seok-jin] Are you in danger?

I'll be there in three minutes.

Oh, that's right.

Did you get my email?

The mailbox?

Yeah.

Look, I'm kind of busy right now,

but I'll keep an eye out for your reply.

Don't worry. I got it.

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, of course, Hyung.

-Good. Don't make me worry about you. -[dramatic music rises]

-[music stops] -I won't.

[upbeat intense music playing]

[panting]

Huh?

[panting]

[Jae-hee grunts]

[grunting]

[lurker] No, wait!

-Hold on, hold on! [groans] -[joints crack]

Hold on, I'm Mr. Jung! I'm Mr. Jung!

What are you up to?

[screams in pain]

[groaning, sobbing]

"Without knowing that outside may be bitterly cold…"

LETTER OF APOLOGY

"…with winter snowstorms raging…"

[yawns]

"…I, who have grown up pampered, like a greenhouse flower,

and thanks to your love, I've become far too complacent."

[Da-woon] Mr. Yoon!

My kid's entering a private kindergarten.

[comical music playing]

If I were to go home right now,

my wife would beat me to death.

Have some mercy.

Not long ago, you threw a letter of resignation in my face,

and now you're begging to get your job back?

I would never throw something in the face of a king.

That letter that I so gently placed in your delicate, soft hands…

could you please tear it up just this once?

[scoffs]

[squeaking effect]

You.

You said you'd keep me safe while I slept.

Why'd you go outside?

I was patrolling the inner and outer perimeter, sir.

-Patrolling? -I kept a proper watch, sir.

So I could ensure you got a good night's rest.

Ah… so you captured Mr. Jung by keeping a proper watch, huh?

Does keeping a proper watch include falling asleep

before I did, Mr. Special Forces?

[gasps]

You're the one who woke me up

in the middle of the night out of nowhere, sir.

I'm afraid my hours mentioned in the contract

didn't cover any extra early morning shifts.

That's why I didn't wake you up.

[bird hooting effect]

You… were sleeping so well.

You were having one sweet sleep.

Why didn't you wake me up then?

You always get the last word in.

-In that case, I'll add one more thing. -[Yi-jun] Don't do it.

I'm warning you, don't do it.

-Do-- -My cab fare!

-I'll charge you for it, sir. -Ha? [gasps]

[incredulous scoff]

-[Yi-jun scoffs] -[nervous chuckle]

[Yi-jun] I want the plant consortium proposal

by the end of the day, Mr. Gu.

It's like they say, people don't change.

He's awesome!

[Jae-hee] Mr. Jung.

Oh, pl-please, it really hurts! Please!

Um, you should switch out that tissue.

It's grossing me out.

Oh…

Thanks a lot.

So what made you ask to see me?

[clears throat]

Come with me.

[breathes deeply]

Hello.

[door closes]

Mr. Kim Si-hyun from the legal department's here.

[handset clacks]

CHAIRMAN YOON TAE-SIK

[doors close]

[Wan-gu] Just as Chairman Yoon Tae-sik is at the center of all power in Taekang…

BREAK ROOM

…those ladies are at the center

of every rumor.

Cho Young-sook, the head janitor.

Hong Young-chun, the chairman's office janitor.

They know all the secrets.

They're the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes.

-[Young-sook sighs] -They are known as the Young Sisters.

[Young-chun] Huh?

Mr. Jung from the 32nd floor is making a comeback?

[scoffs]

Mr. Jung? Hmm?

-[Young-chun] Mm? -[Young-sook] Oh, sorry.

This is the guy who just joined us on the seventh floor.

[Young-chun] Mm…

All right, rookie. What am I gonna call you?

There are three Bins of note in our nation.

Hyun Bin,

Won Bin,

-and Wan-bin. -[warbling effect]

Allow me, Jung Wan-bin,

to formally greet you both.

[Young-sook] Ah, that mug of yours belongs in a bin if you ask me!

Ah, but I wanna know why that slug came crawling back after he resigned.

When someone comes crawling back, there can only be one reason for it.

Money, money, money.

-Money! Mwah! -[cash register dinging effect]

[soft gasp]

[scoffs] Who knows?

Anyway, this just means more work for me.

If I ever get my hands around that cheeky, whiny little punk bitch's neck,

I'm just gonna mangle that douche!

Mr. Jung and her, they don't get along.

I think they were enemies in a past life.

Ah…

Today's her mother-in-law's memorial,

but they still called her in to go up and work.

The 32nd floor?

Ma'am…

would you like it if I stepped in?

Let me help out.

[elevator chimes]

You really are ignoring me.

I'm hurt.

Let's have dinner together.

[humming]

Hmm?

You're just chock-full of surprises, Ms. Lee.

Is that a no?

Of course not.

But what to do?

I'm afraid I have a prior engagement.

With Mr. Yoon Yi-jun, right?

Not only are you full of surprises, but you're also quick.

You're making me wanna cancel my appointment.

[Si-hyun] Let's meet up tomorrow.

[gentle music playing]

Let's get something you like.

A full-course dinner.

[Da-woon] Since it's come to this, we need to get one thing straight.

[slurping]

[exhales]

I'm the top dog, and you serve under me.

Whether by work experience or whether by rank,

I'm your senior and you're my junior.

Clear?

Um…

Yeah. Sounds good to me.

And now that we've gotten that out of the way,

why don't we share some secrets?

What kind of secrets?

How did you get so close to Mr. Yoon in less than a week?

[Jae-hee] Whoa.

Now why would you say something like that?

From what I've seen,

he seemed to trust you way more than he trusts me, Mr. Jung.

He approved your return to work.

[chuckles] Yeah, of course he did.

I spent ages working with that man, after all.

And is that how you managed to become Mr. Yoon's right-hand man?

His right-hand man? [chuckles]

[soft chuckle]

As his right-hand man,

what are your thoughts on Mr. Yoon?

I'm afraid I'm… just too inexperienced.

-Of course you are. -Mm.

I guess I should fill you in as the right-hand man.

[Da-woon chuckles]

From birth, he was raised to be the successor to Taekang.

He cannot shirk a single responsibility.

He lives a life of total control in which no mistakes are tolerated.

-[secretary] It's the minister, sir. -[sighs]

Yes, Minister. This is Yoon Tae-sik.

Of course, I'll proceed with things as you said.

Thank you, sir. Yes.

[phone beeps]

[door closes]

[tense music sting]

This is your best?

[Tae-sik] Get your act together!

I told you over and over that you're the future of Taekang.

[soft sobbing]

I'm sorry, Father. [sniffles]

I'll try harder.

Again with the "I'm sorrys."

Do that for another hour.

Yes.

I'll change it to your preference.

Understood. Yeah.

[beeps]

[sighs]

[tense music sting]

I can't wait to see how much he's prepared to…

screw me over. [breathes shakily]

-[Yi-jun] Ms. Han. -[thunder rumbling]

Ms. Han.

-[gags, grunts] -[tense music playing]

-[Yi-jun choking, grunting] -[thunderclap]

[gasps]

[panting]

[Da-woon] Mr. Yoon is perfect.

He has to be perfect.

[exhales heavily]

This is also the reason he's so guarded.

Since the name Taekang is attached to everything he does,

he can't be easygoing.

[sighs]

Bet you didn't know he was Taekang's punching bag.

He's expected to excel at everything,

but people start pointing fingers at the slightest slip-up.

People compare him to the chairman back in the day

every chance they get,

not to mention his rivals who will pounce on him

the second they smell weakness. [laughs wryly]

No matter how much I think about it,

I don't envy that life, except for the money.

Mr. Jung, in your opinion…

is Mr. Yoon capable of murder?

I don't know.

He's scary, but I really don't think he'd do it.

If I knew he did, I wouldn't have come back here,

not even if I had to send my kid to study abroad

instead of a private kindergarten.

Another thing.

About the rumors that Ms. Han and Mr.--

Uh-uh. That's totally false.

I've been asked that question over 100 times,

and no, they weren't dating.

They weren't?

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, no.

How can you be so sure they weren't though?

Well, that's because I know Mr. Yoon and Ms. Han's huge secret.

Their secret?

Mm.

Firstly, she had a crush on another guy at the company.

Ah, you know, I gave her a lot of dating advice.

As for Mr. Yoon, well…

-his taste is a bit unusual. -[sighs]

-His type of woman is actually-- -Man, I almost took that the wrong way.

Never mind, go on.

Look, this is your job!

You must have a full grasp of Mr. Yoon's tastes and private life

so you don't make any mistakes.

[sighs]

Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Continue. What's Mr. Yoon's type?

The kind of woman Mr. Yoon likes…

[door opens, closes]

What did he want?

Did he pull rank on you? Keep you in check?

Uh… yeah.

Where are you going, sir?

I don't think I need to report everything to you, do I?

Go ahead and go home.

By the way,

are you the one who moved it?

I mean Jerry's bowl in the garden.

Oh, do you mean the silver bowl out there?

I didn't touch it, sir.

Really?

[tense music playing]

[door opens, closes]

[suspenseful music playing]

Stop there. That one.

[keyboard key clicks]

The man in the cap.

See if you can track his movements.

[keyboard keys clacking]

-Hold on a sec. -[keyboard key clicks]

"3108."

[suspenseful music continues]

[phone buzzing]

How'd it go?

[Captain Park] "3108"?

Wait a minute.

"3108."

[Captain Park] Huh? Where is he going?

Hey, try to catch up. Change lanes.

-Follow closer. -[horn honking]

-[tires screeching] -[both grunt]

You sure it's 3108?

If that's the case, then…

there's more to this than we thought.

Do you think it's possible that someone else is after him too?

On the day of the accident, Park Min-hwan…

may have carried something downstairs, right?

If that's what they're after,

does that change things at all?

Captain, are you sure this is just an unnatural death case?

[tuts] That's enough. Get back here.

[phone beeps]

[sighs]

[Captain Park] Someone else out there is hunting for Park Min-hwan.

[low tense music playing]

[low suspenseful music playing]

[comical music sting]

[rattling effect]

[squeaking effect]

[gulps]

[squeaking effect]

[breathes nervously]

[low suspenseful music continues]

[hurried footsteps]

[gulps]

[relieved sigh]

[Jae-hee] Yoon Yi-jun, you're going down.

[lock clicks]

[breathes nervously]

[switch clicks]

[Jae-hee groans]

I don't think the phone would be in here though.

[Jae-hee] All I see is artwork on the wall.

Hmm?

Hold on a minute.

This one's crooked.

[Yi-jun] This is a one-liter bottle. I drank 250 mL, right?

What should that leave me with?

[Yi-jun] Then you noticed it?

Well?

[Jae-hee] The lights seem dimmer than they were before I left yesterday.

So… I'm not the only one to notice it?

[sighs]

He acted like such a stickler for fine details, and yet…

-[rattling] -[gasps]

[intriguing music playing]

[gasps] What?

[clacks]

Why don't we start…

with the reason the chairman's office summoned you before me?

Ah, nothing gets past you, does it, problem child?

Hey, let's talk when we get there.

Where's your wad of gum today?

-Wad of gum, my foot. -Hmm.

I mean, you two seem to have grown quite close already.

I heard you paid for his cab fare…

and let him sleep over.

[sighs]

I should have known when I let Mr. Gu return to work.

[Si-hyun] It's Mr. Jung.

Not Mr. Gu, not Mr. An, but Mr. Jung.

So spill it. Why'd you call your wad of gum last night?

He's not my wad of gum, okay?

[scoffs]

[Yi-jun] Are you the one who moved it?

I mean Jerry's bowl in the garden.

Oh, do you mean the silver bowl out there?

-Hold on. -[suspenseful music playing]

I never told him that it was made out of silver.

-Wh-What? -[gasps]

-Turn the car around. -Uh, why?

[raises voice] Turn the car around now!

[tires screeching]

[drawer rattling]

[exclaims]

This is it!

Looks like our next farewell chat…

will be in the interrogation room, Mr. Yoon.

[door creaking]

-[dramatic music sting] -[startled gasp]

[tense music playing]

Too bad…

there isn't some reporter hack to take the blame for you in my house.

I'm really looking forward to hearing you wriggle out of this.

Come on, what's your excuse?

[inhales sharply]

Why do you keep sneaking around my home?

What's so interesting about the places I explicitly told you not to go in?

-[Jae-hee gasps] -[sighs]

Get out.

You… are fired.

Just get out. Get out of my house right now!

[Jae-hee panting]

I did it 'cause what you said to me at the columbarium

has been bothering me, sir.

There must have been a reason you didn't want me in there,

so I wanted to find out what it was.

Weren't you just buttering me up to gain my trust

so you could keep the paychecks coming?

Then you shouldn't care whether I killed someone or am killing someone

or plan on killing someone.

I can't look at you.

Get lost.

No.

[Yi-jun breathes deeply]

Whether you're a suspect or not actually matters now.

Oh, it matters now?

Ah, then come on, tell me.

How much is it gonna take for me to buy your silence?

-That's not what I-- -Then what do you want?

There's something wrong in this house and I don't know what it is.

-That milk… -[rattling]

Oh!

[grunts]

[gasps]

[dramatic operatic music playing]

[inaudible]

[exhales]

[Da-woon] Well, as for Mr. Yoon's type of girl…

-[Yi-jun pants] -To be honest,

I've only seen Mr. Yoon get drunk once,

and it was on the day of his mother's memorial service.

They should be someone brave.

Someone that's…

totally fearless

and gutsy.

Someone like that.

Hey, you call that ideal?

A beautiful woman is usually at the top of the list, right?

[Yi-jun groans]

Someone pretty doesn't…

have what it takes.

To do what?

Beautiful people don't have the strength…

to support me in this wretched…

Taekang empire.

That's why…

I'm still here waiting and waiting.

-Waiting for what? -[scoffs]

A brave knight on a white steed.

[Yi-jun] A totally fearless, gutsy knight

-on a white steed. -[hoofbeats effect]

[horse neighing effect]

[music swells]

[glass shattering]

LOVE IN DISGUISE

[closing theme music playing]

SPECIAL THANKS TO KIM DO-YOON, JUNG YOO-MIN, AND PARK JUN-MUYN

[Jae-hee] Strange things are happening.

[Yi-jun] Just pretend you don't know anything.

If we keep this up, you'll end up resenting me.

What do you want? Name your price.

[Na-jung] Where is Mr. Park Min-hwan right now?

[Hye-jung] The chairman will probably name his successor.

[Tae-sik] I want results.

My successor shall be announced at the next meeting.

[Yi-jun] You're being really kind and considerate.

It's weird.

-Come with me. -I will not!

[yells] Hey!

[Jae-hee] That thing that you know but I don't… what is it?

You didn't do it, did you, sir?
