Original subtitles

Jung Min, I met her three times today.

And I already like her so much.

Hey, watch it.

She's the CEO of Bisang Textile, one of our affiliate companies.

Greet her with respect.

You're the CEO? I see you're a successful woman.

Where are your manners?

Gosh, Jung Min.

You've become so lame now that you're in a suit and tie.

Do I need to apologize?

Women like it when men apologize, don't they?

I don't want an insincere apology.

But it would've been better if you were a bit more polite.

Ms. Lee.

This odd guy right here is Chairman Chung's son.

To be more exact, I'm his stepson.

Chairman Chung did tell me that he got remarried.

Hello, I'm Lee Ji Eun, CEO of Bisang Textile.

I don't shake hands with women.

I hug them.

What are you doing?

It's my way of greeting you. A hug.

My gosh, cut it out. You deserve a scolding.

We were pretty close way before his mother...

got remarried with Chairman Chung.

We were just "pretty close"? It hurts to hear you say that.

Back when we studied in Boston,

we were pretty much inseparable. We were like brothers.

I know a lot about Jung Min's past.

Cut it out.

Are you single?

What do you think about me?

I'm already in love with someone else.

Director Seo, I'll be off now.

I like...

how straightforward she is.

I must say, roses are the best.

Their thorns make them look sexy.

Cut the nonsense. Let's go.

Here.

This is Ji Eun's first dinner with her employees...

after she became the CEO of Bisang Textile.

Don't you think this is too simple?

What are you talking about? There's meat, seafood, and chicken.

It's not simple at all.

Where's the chicken?

Right here. Braised chicken with vegetables.

It's chicken.

Sook, you've never been to a team dinner, have you?

"Sook"? Who's that?

Sook. Hyun Sook. I was talking to you.

My gosh, you give me goosebumps. Don't call me that.

Then what do you want me to call you?

Call me Chairwoman Jo.

My daughter's a CEO now, so that makes me the chairwoman.

Okay, I'll call you Chairwoman Jo.

- There they are. - Hello.

- Welcome. - Hello.

Guys, this is my mother.

- Hello. - Hello.

And he's her boyfriend.

Come here and take your seats.

- Okay. - Come sit down.

Goodness, hey.

What are you doing here? You don't work at Ji Eun's company.

I volunteered to help out with their work for a while.

Bisang Textile is Seorin's affiliate just like our home shopping company.

Plus, I'm good at multi-tasking even though I'm a merchandiser.

Yes, you're right.

I saw you hosting a show on the home shopping channel.

You were good.

I got convinced and bought that item.

Really?

Your father must be proud to have such a diligent son.

Mr. Kang.

Let's shoot a video again next week to find your son.

Okay.

Take a seat.

Yes!

We used to throw noodles and make bets all the time.

I always lost because of my impatience.

Do you still like making bets?

You know I overflow with testosterone.

If I win a bet, I get a dopamine rush.

Yes, of course.

You really hate losing.

That's why we got along so well.

I was looking forward to eating your meat sauce.

Just eat what you get, you punk.

Why? Cook me some meat sauce. It's been ages.

My gosh.

You're banned from saying "meat sauce" from now on.

Something must've happened the last time you made meat sauce.

Jung Min, the sauce boiled down too much.

Gosh, there's not much left.

I really can't do this anymore.

Jung Min, do you remember?

Remember when we played ping pong with frying pans?

We broke the handle, so we stuck a baseball glove to replace it.

Yes, I remember.

Elisa ended up dropping that frying pan...

and covering the entire kitchen floor with beef stew.

She got so angry at you saying she dropped it...

because you suddenly...

She always thought I was a pushover.

I was the only person who listened to her complaints.

Jung Min, do you know...

why Elisa cooked beef stew that day?

She knew you'd want beef stew since you had a cold.

So she forced me to wake up early in the morning...

to go grocery shopping with her.

Really?

I miss her.

We used to be the three musketeers.

Jung Min.

Why didn't you answer her call...

the day before she died?

You know...

that I couldn't give her the bag.

That stupid brat.

Jung Min, do you have cola?

Cola? It's in the fridge.

Hey, don't throw it!

I told you not to throw cola because it makes bubbles.

Gosh, you never listen.

That's what makes me so charming.

So what's your plan?

What do you mean?

I know Chairman Chung asked me to keep my eyes on you.

But are you even interested in the business?

The entire world knows that I'm his second wife's son.

And we're not biologically related to each other at all.

I know my stepdad is a good man.

And right now, he's head over heels for my mom.

But...

his biological sons will surely keep me in check.

So I need to do something to prove myself.

I want you to teach me...

how to run a business.

You're young and ambitious. I wish you all the best.

Good luck.

What did you just say?

If you think we have a deep friendship, drink the entire glass.

My gosh.

Gosh, you're so cheeky.

You told me you were going to go home right after the meeting,

but you came running over here when I told you...

that everyone will be getting gifts.

Hey, we agreed to talk to each other like friends just for today.

So stop using honorifics.

You told me you're going to give us 7.5g of pure gold...

to celebrate the foundation of Bisang Textile...

on the exact same foundation day as Bisang Apparel.

Anyone would've done the same.

I like that you're so open about being materialistic.

I thought you'd be the same,

but it's a pity that you're not.

Will you put down your phone already?

And wake him up.

Let me finish sending a text.

We're done playing the friend game.

"We're done playing the friend game."

She always does whatever she wants.

- Hey, hey. - What?

Let's wrap this up.

Why don't you say something before we do?

Ms. Kim, have you decided to be a suck-up?

She hired me even though I was just a housewife.

I should stay loyal no matter what.

We're all outsiders. No one else would've hired us.

Leave me out of it.

I'm nowhere near being an outsider.

Okay, everyone.

In order to become someone special,

you need to put in a lot of work.

Ms. Kim, Ms. Han,

Ms. Choi, and Yeo Jin.

You all looked like hard-working people to me.

Ms. Kim, I liked your honesty.

Here's your change.

I think you made a mistake. You gave me more.

Thank you.

Ms. Han, I liked how desperate you were.

You know how upsetting it can be...

when you're a woman with a long career gap.

My son was so happy to see me working again,

so I wasn't able to tell him that the TF team disappeared.

Ms. Choi, I liked your confidence.

(Graphic Technology Qualification)

I got certified in Microsoft Word.

I got certified in Adobe Illustrator.

I have a license in baking.

I'm a certified barista.

I'm a licensed telemarketing administrator.

And I also have a license in Industrial Engineer Floral Design.

I have 12 certifications in total.

Do you not hire high-school graduates?

I need to make money.

My dad's retired, and my mom's hospitalized.

So I need to work 2 to 3 jobs.

You know how good I am as a merchandiser.

And I also liked Yeo Jin for being able to juggle...

2 to 3 jobs all at once.

That's why I think we're all special.

Dreams come true if you give them a little time.

So let's try to hang in there even though we're still very small.

Let's work hard to build a special company.

Cheers!

Everyone.

Let's wish each other good luck.

Okay then.

Let's all wish the person in front of us a better future.

- I wish you a better future! - I wish you a better future!

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Great.

- I think you drank too much. - This is nice.

(Taesan University Hospital)

Seo Jung Min saved Jang Se Hoon from getting into an accident...

after he showed symptoms of delirium.

And he even moved him to a VIP ward.

It looks like he's looking after him a lot.

Wouldn't this motivate Jang Se Hoon to stand on his side?

Jang Se Hoon is about to get surgery,

so he may waver right now,

but humans can be very cunning.

He'll begin to reconsider once he becomes healthy again.

In the end, we're all similar human beings.

People come up with justifications...

or think they're doing righteous by fighting against injustice,

but they all do it for their own good.

Mr. Ha.

Yes?

Go to Jang Se Hoon's house...

and find anything that could become his weakness.

I'll call you.

I need to make sure Jang Se Hoon lets go...

of Seo Jung Min's hand.

Okay, I understand.

Tomorrow, you'll be getting...

a heart and lung scan including an abdominal ultrasound.

And because of the abdominal ultrasound,

you can't eat anything for over eight hours.

It's not 9 p.m. yet.

So should I get you some fruit?

No, it's okay. Just go home and get some rest.

I'm worried you might collapse.

I feel better staying here with you.

How can you be so indifferent?

Our ancestors used to say...

it's best to tell people you're sick if you want to quickly recover.

That way, you'll be able to get help...

and quickly find a way to get treated.

Thank you for your concern.

Mi Ran, you used to give him a hard time,

but you're taking great care of him.

Why are you here?

Why do you think? I came to visit him since he's sick.

We held hands and promised to divide Seorin into two.

So it's natural that I come before the surgery.

When you approach a sharp curve, you get flustered...

and lose track of reality.

Don't give me any excuses.

Let me tell you something.

You and Jung Min can never be on the same side.

Do you know why?

You may be holding hands now,

but a ship only needs one captain.

And you're both not the type who yields to anyone.

Stop provoking a patient. You should just go.

Mi Ran didn't tell you, did she?

I'm Mi Ran's biological mother.

Yeo Jin, wake up.

- Yeo Jin. - I don't want to go home.

- Wake up. - No.

Bok Ja.

Your boyfriend's really drunk. He didn't even drink that much.

I guess he got drunk quickly because he's been exhausted.

I already give him a hard time at work,

but he also works 2 to 3 extra jobs.

So that's probably why he's tired.

I feel bad for him. It's upsetting.

When someone in your family is sick, it requires a lot of money.

I offered to lend him money,

but he got angry at me saying he'll take care of it.

I guess he wants to be all manly because he's younger than me.

Bok Ja, you must like him a lot.

Obviously. That's why I'm dating him.

He liked me one-sidedly for 10 years.

I'm actually grateful. I mean, what's so great about me?

What are you talking about? You have all the right to be loved.

Ji Eun, here's what I think.

It's pretty much impossible for me to marry Yeo Jin...

because I'm 10 years older than him.

And things may be okay right now,

but as time goes by, our age gap could cause an issue.

I want to age naturally.

I don't want to force myself to look young...

by wearing makeup and dressing a certain way.

I guess all couples have problems of their own.

But do you know how I'm different from you?

I was more courageous about my feelings.

If you care too much for the other person,

they say you only end up growing further apart.

I hoped you'd muster up your courage to be with Jung Min.

You were finally given another chance to love again.

That's why I didn't want to let him go.

But I chose a different path.

The late Chairman Seo...

offered to help me rebuild Bisang.

The moment he did, I suddenly thought of my dad.

Then I thought of Jung Min.

But I still couldn't stop thinking of my dad.

Bok Ja.

Letting go of Jung Min...

was the only thing I could do.

I'd love to have both, but if I have to choose one,

I have to choose my dad over my own life.

It's my fault that he died.

It was an accident.

People who care about me...

tell me that it wasn't my fault.

But that can't change the truth.

I don't resent Se Hoon.

But you have no idea...

how much I regret choosing him over my dad...

even though I knew it was going to break...

my dad's heart.

So this time, I have to choose my dad...

over my love.

But...

I miss Jung Min so much.

It's nice to have my girlfriend carry me on her back.

Hey, I didn't come here to please you.

- Gosh, I'm exhausted. - Then did you come...

because I told you I was the only guy?

You're mentally ill.

You're right.

I was hurt when you said it's going to be impossible to marry me.

So I guess you could say I'm mentally ill.

How much did you hear?

Why is that important?

What's important is that I'm hurt.

I guess you didn't hear what I said before that.

What did you say?

Why would I tell that to a petty man?

My gosh.

My scarf.

I think I left it at the restaurant.

Just come back for it next time.

What if someone takes it? You got me that scarf.

My gosh.

- What are you doing? - Babe.

I have a headache. Can you go get it for me?

- No. - My gosh.

I do everything you tell me to do at work.

But outside, you agreed to do as I say.

My goodness.

Director Nam, get going already.

You're dead tomorrow at work.

This is so annoying.

Hey, open the car door.

No.

The cold air will help you sober up.

She's more like a kid than I am.

I came because I had nowhere else to go.

Good. I'm glad you came.

Take a seat.

Do not be worried

Let's just sing together

Just bury all the bad memories

Deep down in your heart

I'm quite likable, aren't I?

I always end up laughing when I'm with you.

(Call Me)

Call Me.

I saved it like that so you can call me whenever.

I'm no longer able to call you whenever.

Okay, there we go.

- Yes! - No!

See that? You're no match for me.

Do you play games all the time instead of working?

Let's play another round.

(Director Nam Bok Ja)

- Let's play another round. - Be quiet.

Hey, Director Nam. What's up?

Is she badly drunk?

Okay, I understand. Thank you for calling me.

Okay, bye.

What is it? Is there something wrong?

You don't need to know. Aren't you going to leave?

I'm going to stay here.

I can sleep and eat here for free.

Do as you wish.

Are you going somewhere?

Can you go to my room and bring me my coat?

I should always do what you ask.

Ms. Lee always comes to work 30 minutes early.

And she drives past the crosswalk 500m away from the company building.

I'll hang up now.

My goodness.

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

You're pretty.

I'll let you off the hook since you're pretty.

She's going to find Ellie today?

Tell her the address I wrote...

on the envelope of the portfolio.

I don't care if Ms. Lee ends up resenting me.

Aren't you the guy I met this morning?

You're a suspicious woman.

Did you follow me here?

Ms. Lee will be out in the lobby in 10 minutes...

because she has a meeting with a client.

Hey, Jung Min. I'm here.

Get down here. I'm hungry.

Who knows? Maybe we're destined to be with each other.

"Destined"? Did you really just say that?

Do you believe in destiny?

I feel like I should say "yes"...

to make you fall for me.

Listen. I believe in destiny.

And I know for sure that you're not destined for me.

Hey, Jung Min. Over here.

I'm going to destroy everything and everyone you love, Jung Min.

I'm going to do that for Ellie.

I'm already in love with someone else.

(Phoenix 2020)

Ji Eun thinks her father died because of her.

Her trauma is a lot more severe than we can imagine.

What can I do?

Just be there for her.

Why don't we be a little more impulsive?

I can't believe Director Choi is your biological mother.

It must've been tough. I bet it was hard to accept.

I'm worried that you guys are walking different paths.

I told you I loved you, but I still knew nothing about you.

I'm sorry. I really am.
