Are you willing to leave behind
everything you own?

If you can, then go ahead.

So what if it puts a toll
on our company?

What's important is that our dad
built this company.

I lived my life
feeling pretty proud of myself.

But in the end, I was just a servant
for the Jo family.

I always put in my all,

but nothing ever changed.

I led this company with no power.

A bad performance
put my position at stake.

And my personal life
had to be perfect.

It's not that I was never attracted
to other women.

I didn't want rumors
to become my weakness.

So I had to lead
an abstinent lifestyle.

I was paranoid about the fact that
I could always lose my position...

even though I didn't own
a single share for myself.

But it was bearable
thanks to Joon Young.

I made the company grow.

And I was excited that my son...

would eventually
become the owner...

instead of someone
from the Jo family.

But now that he's dead,

I can no longer stand
living like a puppet.

It feels like I lost everything.

Sir.

You must not be emotional
if you want to win.

Forgive me for the boring story.
I was just so angry.

Every time you were challenged,

you always overcame everything
and broke through.

It's only right that I get rid of
all the obstacles in my way.

I'm furious that my youth
got wasted by the Jo family.

And that made me become
more attached to money.

You should hold power...

also for the sake of the company.

Your wife knows nothing
about business management.

But because she has the authority
to decide things for the company,

the company had to go through
a lot of confusion...

every time we were faced
with a crisis.

And don't even get me started...

on your troublesome brother-in-law.

You always got blamed for
the mess they made...

and had to clean after them.

I was oblivious to the fact
that Mr. Oh answers to your wife.

I apologize.

The wind may be invisible,

but we all know
how powerful it can be.

I should get rid of everyone...

who used to work
for my late father-in-law.

I don't understand.

It's not like she married you
for convenience.

So why is she so reluctant
to support you?

She was born into a rich family,

so she only cares about herself.
She always does what she wants.

And she takes after her father,

so she doesn't trust people
that easily either.

As she got older,
she's only become more fearless.

I'm just sick of the fact...

that she thinks she can control me
with money.

Mr. Park, let me hear
all the countermeasures.

Okay, sir.

(Chairman Lee Sang Bum)

Do you want me to sugarcoat it,

or should I just be honest with you?

You already know me very well.

There's no need
to beat around the bush.

There's a limit to buying shares...

with a borrowed-name account.

We've been steadily...

trying to increase your shares
with a borrowed-name account.

But right now, seven percent
is all we have.

And although 15 percent
are in favor of you,

that only adds up to 22 percent.

Your wife owns 25 percent.

And even though your brother-in-law
sold his shares every now and then,

he still owns at least five percent.

So what's your point?

You need Ms. Lee, your daughter.

Have your wife give her 10 percent.

Then we'll go through several
processes of recapitalization,

and that will lead us to own more
than your wife's family.

Then you might actually have a shot.

However, this all falls under
the condition...

that you must have
Ms. Lee's full support.

She's the only person
who can help you.

Just let her get married
and bring her back.

Then have her be your person.

You can't let anyone else
take credit for your hard work.

If you hesitate,

the company might end up
going to your brother-in-law's son.

There's not much time left
until he enters college.

I wanted to surprise you.

Ji Eun, will you marry me?

We already registered our marriage,

so we're married already.

But I never got to propose to you.

I swear...

to be a diligent husband.

I'll love you passionately.

I will love you forever.

I love you.

Without you,
my life would be meaningless.

Give it to me.
I'll put it on for you.

Ta-da.

I'm sorry I could only get you
a thin ring.

Later on, when I make a lot,
I'll get you a huge diamond ring.

I'll look forward to it.

Should we eat breakfast outside?
What do you want to eat?

I want to eat
your handmade omelettes...

with a lot of cheese.

Also, add a spoonful of your love.

No, add two. Sarang needs it too.

- Then let's go buy some cheese.
- Okay.

I'm going to make a cradle
for Sarang after breakfast.

Already?

I want to get it done
while I still have time.

Ji Eun, we can't help
but live here right now.

But we can't keep living here
once our baby is born.

I need to work
in construction sites...

so we can afford to move
to a bigger place.

Remember what I told you last time?

I told you my mentor asked me...

to help him build
a traditional hanok in Jeonju.

I told him I can't go
because of personal reasons.

But he told me he'll wait.

When are you leaving?

This week.

For how long?

I'll know after I get there.

I'll come back with a lot of money.

We need some money
in order to have a wedding.

The wedding will cost us money.
Let's not have it.

No way.

We should at least have
a small wedding.

I really want to see you
in a wedding dress.

I guess it'll be pretty...

if I wear a wedding dress
before my baby bump shows.

It's my dad.

Where do you live?

There's a living space
right by the office.

Do you like him that much?

Did you go to the hospital?
How long have you been pregnant?

Three weeks.

I came to give in...

now that you're pregnant.

Dad!

Gosh, get away from me.

I don't know if your mom will agree
after what she's been through.

I just need your approval.

- Thank you.
- I'm not done talking.

I want you to do as I say
instead of giving you my approval.

Let's talk.

I'm sure you already know
that Ji Eun is my only successor.

And you promised...

to help the company grow
if I let you get married.

I'll help you
make our company grow bigger.

I know I can do a good job.

Ji Eun, come back to work.

And I want you to study abroad.
I'll pay for everything.

It means you can't live
however you want to...

if you want to marry the daughter
of Bisang Apparel's owner.

You may have entered K University
with the highest grades,

but you never graduated,
so you're a high school graduate.

I don't want a son-in-law
who's a high school graduate.

I'm asking you to level up
so you can join our family.

Go get an MBA and get a license
in business accounting.

You'll need to help out a lot...

in order to help Ji Eun
become my successor.

I love Ji Eun,
but she still has her own life.

So she can go back to the company
and become the successor.

That's her choice to make.

- And?
- I like my job.

I made up my mind
when I dropped out of university.

I want to live the rest of my life
working with wood.

I'm not very familiar
with hearing "no" for an answer.

Dad, this is a sudden offer.

So I'm sure he needs time
to think about it.

That's only when he has a choice.

Do you know how hard it was
for me to come here?

Ji Eun may be the woman you love,
but before that, she's my daughter!

My daughter should live
the life she deserves!

I won't let her rot her life away
by selling furniture...

in this cramped workshop!

Did you have to be so stubborn?

Dad, wait!

Give us some time.

I'll persuade Se Hoon.

And he'll eventually listen to me.

What does he want?

I let him marry you and even offered
to pay for his studies abroad.

If he knows your family background,

he should offer to support us.

It's because he has no greed
and is pure at heart.

A man with no ambition
is completely useless.

I have ambition.

It'll be bad
if we're both ambitious.

Dad, I told you...

that I'm a member of the Lee family,
not the Jo family.

I'm Lee Ji Eun, the daughter
of Chairman Lee Sang Bum.

I'll properly learn how to run
a company as I work for you.

Coerce him or coax him.
I don't care.

I want you to deal with him.

If you don't want to get swayed
by your mom and uncle,

you also need someone you can trust.

I know what you mean, Dad.

Don't see me out.

All I want...

is for you to be happy.

I'll be off now.

His art is better than reality.

That's because it never changes.

He's the world's first
and one and only gold artist.

He held an exhibition
at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

And the New York Times
almost introduced him...

in their Inside Korea column.

But in our country, people have
different opinions about him.

The art industry in Korea
doesn't like breaking the mold.

So he gets better reviews
from abroad.

I'm Curator Choi Myung Hwa.

I had a meeting outside.

I'm sorry I couldn't
introduce myself earlier.

Don't curators normally dress fancy?

There's no one I want to impress.

You must be a little cynical.

I'm sure you know
I'll be taking over this gallery.

And I also heard things about you,
so I know enough.

I heard you fall into the top three
curators in our country.

That's too far-stretched.

I just do this job
because I like art.

Some people say
money isn't important.

But I don't buy that.

They just say that
to be seen a certain way.

But in the end,
money is what matters.

How much will it cost
to scout you, Ms. Choi?

Are you happy because you're rich?

If you want to scout me,

money won't be enough.
You'll have to win my heart.

Are you naive,
or are you just fooling around?

You'll see once you get to know me.

At least you're not slow-witted.

Let's talk about the rest
in my office.

I get how you feel, Se Hoon.

But you also need to think about it
from my perspective.

I'm the eldest daughter
of Bisang Apparel's owner.

And I want to take over the company
once it's time.

Go ahead. You can work
at the company. I'll do my job.

You know that's not what I mean.

Our company is
a family-owned company.

The entire family needs
to participate in management.

You're also our family now.

So you need to join us.

Is it because you don't want
to support me?

That's not entirely why.

I don't think I can work
for your father.

And making furniture is my job.

I told you
that I like working with wood.

You can't just live your life
doing what you like.

We have a baby now.

And my dad even gave us
his approval,

so you should also
give something up.

You need to support me...

while I learn
how to manage a company.

If you don't want to study abroad,
let's just postpone that for now.

I want to raise my baby
in the best environment.

And you think
you can do that with money?

I'm not saying I'll spoil our baby
with money.

I'm saying I want to raise our baby
in an abundant environment...

so our baby can have
a broad outlook on life.

And we can also send our baby
to study abroad once it's time.

Sending a kid to study abroad
when they're too young...

could make them become unstable.

But if they go at an adequate age,
they will reap a lot of benefits.

They can build
a large network of friends...

and meet many diverse types
of people.

They also become independent
and learn how to adjust,

and that becomes a stepping stone
to success.

Ji Eun, our baby
isn't even born yet.

But it will be born soon.

Time flies, Se Hoon.

Let's just do as I say.

You're my husband
and the father of our baby,

so shouldn't we be your priority
no matter what?

You're asking me
to sacrifice everything one-sidedly.

It's just unfair.

Do you have to be so calculative
about our relationship?

We need to accept my dad's offer...

for the sake of our baby.

Your father won't be the one
raising our child.

I'm the father,
and I'll raise our baby my own way.

And what exactly is your way?

Living a normal life?
Is that what you aim to do?

We may see things differently,
but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

It's wrong to think like that.

Don't try to lecture me.

I'm talking about our reality.

What's wrong with our reality?

You keep saying what's on your mind,
and I keep saying what's on mine.

This conversation is meaningless.

Let's stop.

I get your point.

You can go ahead and work
at your dad's company.

But don't drag me into it as well.

You're just being stubborn...

because of how my family
treated you, aren't you?

See? You can't deny it.

They treated me like
I had an ulterior motive.

If I agree to work
at your dad's company,

it'd be like admitting
that they were right.

Why do you even bother
worrying about that...

when we both know
that's now true?

I know it's not easy to forget about
how much they hurt you,

but my dad decided to approve,

and the least you can do
is to show some effort as well.

They're your parents,
so I'll try to forget what happened.

But my working at the company
is a different story.

I just can't bring myself
to do that.

So let's stop talking about it.

I want Mr. Oh appointed
as one of the gallery executives.

I don't think that's right.

Are you trying to provoke Sang Bum?

I can't take the bull by its horns,

so I'm just trying to attack
from the side.

If you're going to stay married,
just keep things peaceful.

I was flipping through
the TV channels yesterday,

and I saw this documentary.

Apparently, hyenas even prey on
old lions sometimes.

That means no one can
remain powerful forever.

He may have gotten furious at us,

but you still managed
to keep your position,

and your brother-in-law
took a step back.

We need Mr. Oh
in order to launder money...

for other firms.

Young Eun,
I almost didn't recognize you.

I'm off to Chan A's birthday party.

Who's Chan A?

He's that guy you really like.
Minister Kang's grandson.

You're young enough
to look pretty without makeup.

Why are you wearing so much of it?

And what are you wearing?

Are you not fully dressed yet?
Or is this all you're wearing?

I finally took my KSAT.

Don't be picky about what I wear.

She finally took her test.
Just let her have fun.

You know how hard I studied.

You really are brazen.

The provisional score
was actually pretty good.

I got shocked, and so did you.
You were even deeply moved.

So consider that
and get me a sports car.

I already told you no.

I'll have Mr. Kim drive you
even after you go to college.

And I'll follow you
even to the bathroom.

I get that Ji Eun traumatized you,
but don't take it out on me.

Shut it.

If you also date someone absurd,

I'll seriously just kill myself.

Why are you obsessing over me
all of a sudden?

I won't ever make you kill yourself.

When it comes to men,

I consider their family background
and financial status.

I'm not a fool like Ji Eun
to risk it all for love.

So come on, Mom.
Get me a really pretty sports car.

Stay in college
for about a year or two.

Then marry the guy we choose for you
and go study abroad.

Don't mess with your mom.
She's like a ticking bomb.

My life is becoming so difficult
because of Ji Eun, that brat.

How dare you call your sister that?

You'd better watch what you say.

(One month later)

(It's my 8th week of pregnancy.
I heard Sarang's heartbeat today.)

(It made me cry a little.
Sarang is 1.2cm and healthy.)

Hey, Bok Ja.

I'm so exhausted.

I couldn't even eat
a single grain of rice.

I'm by myself again.

Se Hoon went outside the city.

No, we haven't decided yet.

But fortunately, my dad is abroad
on a long-term business trip.

I need to persuade Se Hoon
before he gets back.

I've already made up my mind.

I can't live like this.

I need to convince Se Hoon
for the sake of our baby.

Bok Ja, let's hang up.

I'm so tired. I should lie down.

Bye.

(We open at 9 a.m.
and close at 7 p.m.)

Are you having a hard time?

Did you eat?

Should I cook something for you?

Do you want me to get you anything?

No, I'm not hungry.

We haven't seen each other
in 10 days.

Aren't you going to show me
your face?

Why do we need to live like this?

You just need to change your mind.

I don't get
why we have to live like this.

Why are you bringing that up again?
We already talked about that.

Do you just expect me
to follow your decision?

Then what about me?
Do you expect me to do that?

You can go ahead
and work at your dad's company.

What kind of nonsense is that?

You're the son-in-law
of Bisang Apparel's owner.

Don't you know the situation I'm in?

My dad will be back
from his business trip soon.

I talked to him
on the phone yesterday.

And I told him you'll do
what he wants you to do.

It's my life.
Who are you to decide that for me?

We're married.

Our lives aren't
just our own anymore.

I'm saying we should be realistic
and make the best decision.

What's wrong with our reality now?

I'm working hard,

and I'm ready to support our baby.

What matters is
how you're going to raise our baby.

Don't use our baby as an excuse.

You just want to go back
to your old life.

What's wrong with that?

I want a better environment
for us and our baby.

What's so bad about that?

That's enough.

I get that you're sensitive
because you're pregnant.

But there's a limit
to how much I can endure.

You're not enduring anything.

You just have
an inferiority complex.

Yes, you're right.
I have an inferiority complex.

So stop getting me involved in this.

I clearly told you...

that I refuse to work
for your father.

I don't want to receive
a single penny from your family!

(Ji Eun)

(My eldest daughter)

Mom.

Mom.

What's wrong with your voice?

Doctor Jung said she'll be fine.

She has tinnitus due to stress.

Her anemia is bad,
but the baby is okay.

I won't forgive that punk.

He took my daughter away only to
make her suffer from malnutrition.

It's anemia, not malnutrition.

Same thing!

Look at her face.
She's lost so much weight.

She's pregnant,
so he should feed her well.

Isn't that a mother's job?

I can't believe I gave birth
to a daughter like her.

She's awake.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

You brat.

Did you run off with him
just so you could live like this?

I'm sorry, Mom.

I'm sorry for not being
the daughter you want.

Don't cry.

It's not good for the baby.

I want to cry in your arms today.

I want to stay in your arms
and cry all I want.

This is why they say all parents
are weak for their children.

That little...

Uncle, can you wait outside
with Se Hoon for a while?

I need to talk to Mom.

(Patient: Lee Ji Eun,
Doctor: Lee Kyung In)

It's over now.

If her mother approves,
it'll all be over.

I hope we get along.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

I'm sure you'll learn
how things work in our family,

but my sister...

I mean, your mother
and father-in-law...

have a strange relationship.

But you must always stand
on your mother-in-law's side.

She has more power.

I need to talk to you. Come inside.

I'm boiling with anger right now,
but I'll hold it for Ji Eun's sake.

I'm sure you can tell
she's not in a good condition...

since it was bad enough
for her to get hospitalized.

When she gets discharged tomorrow,
I plan to take her home.

She needs to recover first.

She's two months pregnant,

and that's the most dangerous period
throughout her pregnancy.

Okay.

Mom, you can go now.

Se Hoon will be here.
You should go and rest.

I'll come back tomorrow.

You really should have
nothing to say.

You took my daughter from me.

The least you could do
was make sure she doesn't suffer.

Get rid of your misunderstanding,
and forget about the past.

You'll be moving in with us now.

And in order to get what you want,
you'll have to endure things.

What do you think I want?

Mom, I told you
that I'll tell him myself.

He doesn't know that we'll be...

moving in with you guys yet.

Don't waste your energy on him.

I'll come to pick you up
tomorrow morning.

I want to get some air.

Let's talk outside.

You're going to drag me
into your dad's company,

and you even want me
to live with your parents?

Just until we have our baby.

I get that you're flustered
because it's all too sudden.

You know nothing.

Stop being so stubborn.

"Stubborn"?

I'm being stubborn,
and you're being unreasonable.

Then what are we supposed to do now?

What's that supposed to mean?

Be more clear about
what you want to say.

If you keep
forcing things upon me like this,

I won't be able to live with you.

You won't be able to live with me?

Well, then don't.

Let's get a divorce.

(Phoenix 2020)

Working at your father's company.
Living at your parents' house.

Just the thought of it
makes me feel suffocated.

Do you really
have to say it like that?

Ji Eun is getting discharged.
I want you to come home.

Must you win this fight with Ji Eun?

Do you want Ji Eun
to sacrifice her life for you?

If you decided to be my son-in-law,

you should become someone I need.

Then I'll give you what you want.

What's going on?

I was too narrow-minded.
