Original subtitles

Sir, this is a surprise.

Does this car...

belong to you?

- Yes, it does. - Are you off somewhere?

I came to pick something up.

Tomorrow, I'd like you to join me for lunch.

Is there something you want to talk about?

I have time for tea right now.

No,

I have a restaurant in mind.

Which one?

It's Mirang,

the Japanese restaurant.

Mirang?

The one in Yeouido?

That's right. I knew you'd know the place.

There are other restaurants nearby, Sir.

I have my reasons.

Tomorrow, 11:30am.

I'll book us the Maesil Room.

Yes, Sir.

Thank you for such an amazing meal.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I don't know what I would've done if we went our separate ways.

Me neither.

We had so many plans,

but they're all on hold because of...

the investigation into my father's slush fund.

Weren't you annoyed to spend your wedding night at home?

Not at all.

I'm still dazzled that I actually got married.

Be patient with us.

You'll soon enjoy your new marriage and go on a honeymoon.

Enough about me.

How are you doing?

Are you all right?

Not really.

I'm going to divorce Sang Ho.

(Sang Ho)

Whose call did you decline that fast?

It's Sang Ho.

Are you sure about your decision to divorce?

Yes.

She rarely takes my call these days.

- Sir. - What is it?

I ran into Na Min Soo in the car park.

In the car park?

He was observing my car.

Your car?

He then...

asked me to have lunch tomorrow.

He probably knows how close we are,

so I wonder why.

I don't know.

He's buying so enjoy the meal.

Let's see what he plans on saying.

He booked us...

a room at Mirang though.

The Japanese restaurant in Yeouido?

That's the one.

Out of all the restaurants, he specifically chose that one?

Yes, Sir. He said we had to eat there.

What if he's figured out that I recorded his father?

I highly doubt it.

Like I said, just go and enjoy lunch.

- Yes, Sir. - Good.

Earlier,

I sat down with a divorce lawyer and she reviewed my case.

Sorry?

If Sang Ho and I...

can't agree to the terms,

I'll have to file a suit.

And to win in court,

I'll need evidence of his wrongdoing.

Evidence?

When I told her about Sang Ho and Da Hee's lies,

she questioned their relationship.

She said it's highly unlikely that they lied to me...

when all they did was grow up together.

One of her clients was in a similar situation.

And?

It turns out that they were lovers.

I see.

Min Soo and I have been leaning towards...

that scenario too.

If Sang Ho agrees to the divorce,

I wouldn't need proof of his lies.

He won't let you go that easily.

I think so too.

Right.

Min Soo wants to have lunch with Choong Bok at Mirang?

Why would he when he barely knows the guy?

He obviously knew that I'd hear about it.

Does he have proof we bugged the place?

If so...

If they are having an affair,

I'd have the upper-hand...

in our divorce.

Min Soo combed through...

Sang Ho's company credit card statement.

- Really? - There's a motel...

he frequently booked a room at.

A motel?

Yes.

Why would he need a room when...

he always slept at home?

I think it was during the day.

- Is everything good? - Sure.

Sun Young was away from her office all day though.

Where did she go?

- She's not answering my calls. - Mine either.

Unbelievable.

Who knew that they'd track down our orphanage director?

It's like there are eyes on us everywhere.

We need to be extra careful now.

I'm aware of it so don't worry.

I've even been going about in disguise.

- Watch this. - Okay.

- You can't tell it's me. - No, I can't.

You should do the same as well.

Right. Give me that.

They're also regulars at a restaurant,

but they always arrive half an hour apart.

Half an hour apart?

That's right.

They were adamant about never seeing each other alone,

yet they were probably at..

A motel and restaurant together.

It's not hard evidence though.

Those liars will lie their way out of it.

Of course.

We need more, but...

we haven't been successful.

When did Min Soo do all this...

when he's busy as it is?

He's eager and determined to help you.

I'll look into it now, so tell him to stop.

You'd investigate yourself?

I live with the man. It'd be easier on my part.

Now I'll gather the proof I need.

Be discreet and don't let Sang Ho figure out what you're up to.

If he finds out, he might retaliate out of anger.

He will if he's backed into a corner.

Of course. I'll be careful.

It turns out that Choi Choong Bok...

was at the restaurant 10 minutes before you arrived.

- Choi Choong Bok? - Yes.

He wasn't there to dine,

and it's weird that...

he was there right before your lunch appointment.

You're right. It is weird.

It was during lunch hours,

so why wouldn't he stay for a meal?

He didn't stay for very long.

- Was he alone? - Yes.

The room you ate in is on the second floor.

He would have had easy access to it.

The hour he went in and out...

was when the staff was busy prepping for service.

Why was he alone there of all places?

Why that day...

when you met your friend?

It's not a coincidence that Choi showed up there.

I'm having lunch with him tomorrow at that restaurant.

Would he tell you why he was there?

Min Soo's been investigating Choong Bok.

The Nas are all private detectives now.

The high and mighty are as dirty as the rest of us.

Just you wait and see.

I won't let them even squeak once I'm CEO.

Me neither.

You don't know how annoying it is to have...

Sun Young bark at me.

All right. Now let's be patient.

Cheers.

How far does Sang Ho and Choi go back?

Sang Ho took Choi under his wing since Choi was a new recruit.

Choi's family currently all live in the US...

while he lives here.

It won't be easy to pay tuition on his salary alone.

Sang Ho has helped him on numerous occasions.

I'll talk to him tomorrow and find out more.

All right.

To avoid confrontation, I left home before breakfast...

and ate some at a brunch restaurant.

- Alone? - Yes.

I'm not being a good daughter,

but it'll have to be that way for the time being.

Sitting across from him at the table is nothing but torture.

That's why...

I was hoping you'd come and live with us.

Sorry?

Is that too much to ask?

Of course not.

We'd love to help in any way we can.

I'll ask Min Soo.

If Sang Ho doesn't agree to the divorce,

I'll file a suit right after the new CEO is appointed.

That's why...

I was hoping you and Min Soo be by my dad's side.

Of course.

Let's go.

- Hi, Dad. - How was your day?

Good. So where's your mother?

Weren't you with her?

She's over at Uncle Min Soo's.

Min Soo's?

You didn't know that when you work at the same office?

She was out of the office all day.

So where are you off too?

To eat fried chicken.

Can't we enjoy it together at home?

No, we'd like to actually enjoy it.

All right.

- Where's your grandfather? - He's eating outside too.

I came home early for nothing then.

Have a good time.

- Bye. - See you.

She went straight to Min Soo's for dinner...

when she left for work before breakfast.

I guess independence is her next goal.

Did you have fun with Sun Young?

Yes.

She met with...

a divorce attorney.

What?

I think she's made up her mind.

Good. I was about to force her divorce anyway.

The lawyer questioned...

the nature of Sang Ho and Da Hee's relationship...

and told her to look into it while gathering evidence.

It's pretty obvious.

However, they were careful enough...

to not leave any trail behind.

If only he'd admit everything and let Sun Young go.

It doesn't seem like he'll make it easy for her.

That jerk.

I'm certain this is all a calculative move.

He's not against the divorce because he loves her.

You can say that again.

I can't imagine how angry Sun Young must be.

You're right.

For what he did to her,

I'd like to destroy his very existence.

Honey.

- You're home early. - Of course. Where else...

would I go after work?

Is that so?

Didn't you use to have many dinner plans...

with friends and colleagues?

I cut them all off to come home early to you.

There's no need for that.

Would it kill her to be nice?

Honey, let's talk.

I haven't seen you all day today.

It's as if you've been avoiding me.

Say what's on your mind.

Have a seat.

- Please enjoy. - Thanks.

It's good to be here as a customer, not an employee.

- Let's eat. - Sure.

Mum and Dad are acting strange, right?

They still haven't worked it out.

Peace is no more in our family. Waves are now hitting us hard.

You should've come home next year instead.

This is the first time they're arguing...

and here you are witnessing it.

Aren't you glad I'm here though?

I am. Without you, I would've been depressed.

Especially since Han Sol's avoiding me.

I'm glad that you're here for me as well.

Enjoy the chicken. It's my treat.

Really? Nice!

It's time we put back on a united front.

Nothing's in our way now that Min Soo's married.

This isn't healthy and you know it.

I asked if...

you had any more secrets when I found out about Hae In.

- Did you? - Yes, I did.

I said I'd forgive you...

and asked you to reveal any secrets you have.

I also said that I wouldn't forgive you...

if you lied to me again.

I don't remember any of it.

Back then, I gave you a chance.

But you took advantage of my trust and...

didn't come clean.

I know you're still upset about Da Hee,

but like I said, we're closer than cousins related by blood.

I went to see a divorce attorney today.

What?

Why would you do that?

According to her,

there's probably more to the relationship.

Are you...

and Da Hee having an affair?

What?

How could you even think that?

I hear that's how it is with most divorce cases.

Divorce lawyers help people divorce for a living.

They'll say anything to sign a new client.

Min Soo, I almost forgot.

Sun Young asked if we could move back in with the family.

That's fine by me,

but is it for you?

If Sun Young is serious about divorcing Sang Ho,

then you should be there to support her.

We'll talk again once she decides for sure.

All right.

So how about we just agree to this divorce.

That's enough. I won't hear this any more.

Do I have to file a suit?

Divorce is the filthiest family affair of all.

How is one supposed to live like this...

with a wife who avoids you all day...

and then suddenly asks for a divorce?

I already signed them.

Now it's your turn.

Are you out of your mind?

When the time comes I'll divorce you myself,

so know your place until then.

My gosh. This yaksik is absolutely delicious.

I made some for Min Soo...

and of course for everyone since it's chilly now.

Han Sol, please enjoy.

I will.

Your mother looks better now that she quit her old job.

Look. She's practically glowing.

I feel amazing too.

I'm curious about Papa Group at times,

but Han Sol keeps me updated.

He does? Is there something up at the group?

Nothing that hectic.

The CEO will resign...

and soon a new CEO will be appointed.

Really?

Who do you think has the best shot?

Well...

It seems like Kim Sang Ho has been persuading major shareholders.

Kim Sang Ho?

No way!

Why would he be chosen over Ms Na...

or her brother?

We won't know until the general meeting takes place.

Things must be confusing there.

It is.

You should ask Jung Hoon. He'll know more.

If Kim Sang Ho is appointed,

I'm never eating Papa Group's snacks again.

Me neither.

Me neither!

I doubt he'll become CEO.

The shareholders wouldn't knowingly let...

the company crumble.

Of course. It'll be a disaster.

Sun Young,

you should now focus on who my successor will be.

Yes, of course.

Min Soo is our best option...

and I wouldn't mind anyone else,

just not Sang Ho.

Papa Group's already shaky as it is. But in his hands,

its founding principle will be lost forever.

I agree.

I hear that...

Sang Ho's been rounding up even minor shareholders.

I know.

I'm about to meet them myself too.

Good.

I know he's been giving you a rough time,

but in order to beat him,

you shouldn't let him become CEO.

Of course.

All right.

She must've been tired.

How could he have lied to someone...

who he's slept with in the same bed for decades?

That shows how evil he is.

Poor Sun Young.

I'm on my own now.

It's time I got used to sleeping and being alone.

It's not all bad though.

I now have time to write.

Did Mum leave early again?

Yes.

She wanted to work out and take care of her health,

so I told her to go ahead.

Morning workouts are great.

That's a huge decision for someone who likes sleeping in.

Sun Young.

Mr Oh!

Don't you miss her though?

I miss her bringing us soup and side dishes.

Don't you agree, Father?

I'm fine.

- Me too. - Me too.

What if you did morning workouts too?

You could join Mum and workout together.

Should I?

She'll probably have brunch afterward.

That's a deal breaker for me.

My morning needs to start with rice and a hot soup.

If that's the case, you should treat her better.

I treat her like a princess!

Gosh, you're hilarious.

The seaweed soup is delicious.

Lifting weights is good, but so is swimming.

I just joined, so I'll try my best.

I have a feeling that you'll catch up in no time.

Is that so?

I think morning workouts will help energise me for the day.

I guess that's why we workout.

My gosh.

Look who it is.

Ms Na,

I didn't expect to see you here.

You probably weren't together all night,

so this must be a morning date.

I'd appreciate it if you minded your own business.

Of course. Sure thing, Ms Na.

Look at them enjoying a morning date.

What a joke.

I guess she still doesn't know what she did wrong.

She won't until she dies.

Don't let her get to you.

Of course. I won't.

They actually look nice together.

He's an upgrade from Sang Ho.

What's this?

Look how sweet they are.

Don't they look like a couple in love?

Are you kidding me?

She probably took a photo of me by now...

and sent it to her fake cousin no doubt.

You should read this book.

"How to Say Goodbye".

Do I have to study on how to break up with someone?

I don't know if it'll help everybody,

but I found comfort in it.

It helped me clear my head after my divorce and other things.

All right. I'll give it a try.

Today I'm off to the most important battle.

What do you mean?

I'm negotiating with the enemy's most trusted servant.

What?

Even his name means "loyal servant".

I wish you the best.

If I show him that I'm more humane than Sang Ho,

would he switch sides?

- No. - What should I do then?

There has to be something in it for him.

Speaking to his heart won't work.

Is that so?

Show him that he has more to gain by switching sides.

Throw the dog a bone.

I see.

I never thought of that.

You still have a lot to learn.

It's good that I have a tutor then.

Anyway, this is a battle you must be victorious of.

Yes, Ma'am!

- Let's go. - Sure.

So...

how was brunch?

The rat that ran passed me...

must have snitched already.

Hang on, a rat?

The restaurant has a rat problem?

The kids told me during breakfast...

that you'll be eating brunch after working out today.

Of course.

Trustworthy Da Hee...

would never have told you that she ran into me today.

Why would Da Hee contact me after...

she was humiliated by you?

I ran into Mr Oh and had coffee with him.

You ran into him?

I don't think it was an innocent encounter on him part.

There's only one man who loves you dearly and that's me.

Don't you forget that.

Stop glaring at me like that. It's not like you to.

Min Soo.

I heard you invited Manager Choi to lunch.

Yes, I did.

He told me when I asked...

him to lunch myself. So could I join you?

Why would you need to?

He'll tell you every word I said when he gets back anyway,

so why worry?

What is this about?

I want to find out just how loyal he is to you.

I wonder if he's as devoted to you as you think.

He might not be...

which is what has me curious.

I see.

He's loyal for sure...

so have at it.

I'd love to hear your assessment in person.

Of course.

When are you meeting Min Soo?

At 11:30am.

I see.

Something's fishy though.

CEO Na's appointment that day was at 11:30am as well.

Don't be so spooked.

He booked us the Maesil Room...

which is where CEO Na dined that day.

He watched too many movies for his own good.

Anyway, I'll do whatever you say.

Good.

Just think about your upcoming promotion.

I'll take care of all your competitors.

Thank you, Sir.

All right.

Was the restaurant hard to find?

Not at all.

- Please have a seat. - Sure.

Do you know what's good here?

I'm not sure. I haven't dined here before.

- Is that so? - Yes, Sir.

The sushi's great. I'll order that.

Sure.

Here.

Have some water.

Thank you.

Lunch with Choi at Mirang.

That's a good move.

However, one expensive meal won't win him over.

Not after what I've done for him.

Doesn't this room look familiar to you?

I'm not sure.

The day my father had lunch with his friend,

someone came by earlier to bug the entire room.

- Sorry? - Sorry for being blunt,

but I think you know what I'm talking about.

How would I? I don't know what you mean.

Once I return to the office,

I'll request a formal investigation into the matter.

I've already talked with the lead detective.

This is absurd.

I don't know anything.

You'll probably be...

the first person the police investigates.

- Why me? - Why do you think?

You already know the answer.
