(Episode 76)

("Everything about Patent Disputes")

(Investment Contract)

(Seorin Group acknowledges
Bisang Textile's...)

(carbon nanofiber technology
and will be given the right...)

(to use the patent, which was
first acquired in 2000...)

I got my tonsillectomy in autumn.

It was the autumn of 2002.

That means the patent
was acquired in 2002,

not 2000.

Hey, did you just get home?

Yes, today was
my part-time night shift.

Oh, I see.

Young Eun, do you remember
when I got my tonsillectomy...

in 2002 during the World Cup?

No, I don't.

Yes, I'm sure it was then.

It was during the summer vacation
after I came from the States.

You were a little kid,

and we used to cheer together
for the national soccer team.

Then I went to the hospital
because of my swollen tonsils.

Then I got a tonsillectomy
in autumn. Don't you remember?

I remember now.

Where's my cell phone?

My gosh.

Get to your senses.

Is there something going on?

Dad showed up in my dream
and gave me an answer.

And in reality,
Mom didn't come home.

Don't bother nagging Mom about it.

Don't interfere in her love life.

Where are you going?

Hello, I'm calling to ask you...

about registering for an extension
of a patent term.

It's due to a registration delay.

Then will I be able to
talk to someone right away...

if I go to the Korean
Intellectual Property Office?

Yes.

Payback

I can't help

"My One Lee Ji Eun"?

He must really like her a lot.

I'm leaving a text
because you're not answering.

I'm on my way to the Korean
Intellectual Property Office.

I found evidence to prove
that Bisang Textile...

didn't receive any special treatment
in receiving the investment.

This time,
it's your turn to trust me.

Call me back.

She really doesn't give up easily.

She gets on my nerves.

(My One Lee Ji Eun!)

(Delete)

Jung Min deserves to be nervous
for at least a couple of hours.

Oh, there's my cell phone.

Are you okay?
You didn't get any sleep.

I cooked you breakfast.

Thanks.

But I'm not hungry.
Let's just drink coffee.

You waited all night.

Did you get to meet Director Hong?

My gosh.

Even if what you say is right,

it still doesn't explain
why the late chairman...

invested in her when she hadn't even
registered the patent.

I can't vote for something
that can't be explained.

And therefore,

I refuse to vote for him
as the next chairman.

I'm sure you'll change your mind.

You can't find the answer
if you focus on the question.

But I brought the answer for you.

If you want to find out what it is,
please take your seats.

How dare you just barge in here
like this?

I know Director Seo has your back,

but you need to stop acting up.

Watch how you talk to her.

Ms. Lee is the CEO...

of one of our affiliates.

I'd like to hear
what she has to say.

So you should all sit down.

Let's hear why the investment...

can't be considered
as a special treatment.

It was an urgent situation,

and I admit it was rude of me
to enter without permission.

I apologize for that.

But because I'm the person
directly involved in this,

I think I have the right...

to give you an explanation
regarding the patent.

Now that you've given me
a chance to speak,

I'd like to explain why
the investment we received...

wasn't based on any favors.

Here's a certificate to prove
that we received an extension...

of our patent term...

based on Article 92, Clause 2
of the Patent Law.

And of course,
I just got it issued myself...

from the Korean
Intellectual Property Office.

Wait a minute.

Does that mean we still own
the carbon nanofiber patent?

That's right, sir.

The patent examination
was postponed for two years.

And it caused trouble
to the applicant.

So they gave us
a two-year extension.

And this certificate proves
that we got an extension...

until September 17, 2022.

(Confirmation of Patent Extension)

That surely proves the investment
wasn't a personal favor.

And Bisang Textile still owns
the patent.

We received an investment
from Seorin Group...

based on our rightful technology,

which proves
that we didn't receive...

any special treatment.

Also, it was arbitrarily decided
by the late chairman,

and Director Seo has absolutely
nothing to do with the matter.

You helped me resolve
the misunderstanding I had.

It really does look like
Bisang Textile...

didn't receive any special favors
from the late chairman.

Well, now that you've
changed your mind,

I guess there's no reason for me
to stay here.

It's obvious
how the vote will turn out.

I really like you.

Call me whenever.

I'll treat you to a nice meal.

Jung Min, stop smiling.

You're making yourself look silly.

My gosh.

I guess it's best to be honest
in this kind of situation.

Anyone in your shoes
would've thought the same way,

and I know that you're
a very careful person.

But I must say, I was a bit upset.

You had already agreed
to give me your support,

so you could've at least
met up with me.

I avoided you because I was worried
I might get convinced by you.

Why didn't you answer my call?

Your call?

I didn't get any calls from you.
Did you call?

I even sent you a text.

What? No, you didn't.
I didn't get any messages.

What?

Look. I sent you this.

(I found evidence to prove
that Bisang Textile...)

How strange.

Maybe there was an error
with the network.

Do you think so?

Anyway, how did you think of
doing something so clever?

Should I give you some space?

It's okay. You can trust A Jun.

I remembered...

that my dad visited me
at the hospital...

the day he got the patent.

I was hospitalized...

after having received
a tonsillectomy.

And I remembered
how my dad came and told me...

that it took him two years
to finally get the patent.

So I looked through
the files last night,

and I found out you can file for
an extension of the patent term.

This time, you saved me.

You're like the Little Mermaid.

You saved Jung Min from a crisis.

But doesn't the Little Mermaid
turn into sea foam?

I take that back.

Mr. Shin.

You say things so easily.

I guess you were offended
by my sea foam comment.

A Jun may sound a bit rude,

but he has no ill-intention.

You see, I'm quite unique.

But I have to say,

things look nice
between you two.

Are you guys going out again?

Mr. Shin, let's go to the meeting.

Yes, of course.
I should do what you say.

Jung Min, I'm going to choose
what to eat for lunch.

- Call me after the meeting.
- Got it.

You look really tired.

You should get a nap
when you're free.

Thank you, Ji Eun.

I tried not to show it.

But when I got framed...

and Director Hong
turned his back on me,

I was worried I might not
get selected as the chairman.

But thankfully, Director Hong
seems to have come around.

And that really puts me at ease.

You have no idea
how worried I was...

that I might ruin your future.

I felt miserable
the entire day yesterday.

What?

I didn't think yesterday
was all that bad.

You were worried about me,
and you even bought coffee for me.

Get some rest.

(Seorin)

I want you to disappear
from Jung Min's sight.

I have this weird hunch...

that you might end up
ruining his life.

Which photo do you like best
out of the five?

There are 4 photos, not 5.

Were there only four?

You dropped one over there.

There were only four photos
to begin with.

Do you like Jung Min that much?

Jung Min was the first person...

who taught me
that I could love a guy this much.

You're a divorced woman.
I'm sure it's not your first time.

That look on your face just now.
It was really sexy.

You're rude, thoughtless,

and arrogant.

You really are the worst.

You got that right.
Go on and tell me more.

You're like a little kid
who's throwing a tantrum.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm going to show you
that I'm not a little kid.

Adults don't do
immature things like this.

Move.

I think I finally know you a little.

You know how to provoke a guy...

and make him want you.

You can say that kind of stuff
once you're all grown up.

You're really getting me
all riled up.

The elevator isn't working again.

"Again"? Does this happen often?

Call the security team.

What?

Gosh, does she think
I'm her secretary or what?

She's always bossing me around.

You really don't know
how to get along with others.

She always has a problem with me.

Let go of my arm. It'll bruise.

Why are you suddenly acting so weak?

My goodness.

Can you get up?

Did you hyperventilate?

Why are you just standing there?
Help her get up.

You must've developed a trauma...

after you got trapped
in the elevator last time.

Are you sure you don't need
to go to the hospital?

It's okay.

Did you ask me to look into her
because you had feelings for her?

I'm not sure.

So he's getting ready to go back
to the States?

The donor's guardian
changed his mind.

So it might be better for him
to go to the States...

and wait for a donor there.

The more I think about it,
the angrier I get.

It's like he fooled with
a sick person.

There's always a reason
for everything.

I wonder what made him
change his mind all of a sudden.

But then again, I'm sure it's not
easy for a parent...

to give up on his son.

The guardian is
the patient's parent?

How did you find out?

They don't share any information
regarding the donor.

Aren't all guardians
normally parents?

I don't know much about medicine,

but aren't donors
usually pretty young?

I'm sure it's not easy for
old people to donate their organs.

So I figured the guardian
would be the patient's parent.

The biggest happiness
you can give to someone...

is to ensure them
that they're being loved.

I hope Mi Ran will be able
to get that from you from now on.

I know I'm not the best mother,

but I'd like to ask you something.

What's going to happen between
you and Mi Ran?

Will you mind your own business?

I don't want to be nosy,

but I need to know...

to decide how to treat him
from now on.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm sure he knows what I mean.

I'm going to resign from Seorin.

Isn't that enough to put our past
behind us?

Plus, I'm sure you don't
even need me anymore.

Sometimes,
it's best to just get on your knees.

You already lost to Jung Min anyway.

Why are you provoking him
after coming all the way here?

We were once allies in this fight...

although we both held hands
for our own benefits.

To be more exact, he betrayed me.

And that messed up my plan.

I admit that I was
cowardly and selfish.

Does that make you feel better?

I'll forgive you for Mi Ran's sake.

But of course, I never trusted you
in the first place.

You should go.
Don't ever come here again.

You must think
he'll come back to you.

You probably think
he'll do anything for you.

But you see, when someone's
willing to do anything for you,

it's better off
not to expect anything.

You're not saying anything,
so that must mean you agree.

I think you're wrong.

If I successfully
manage to get a heart transplant,

I plan to devote myself to Mi Ran
for the rest of my life.

Then live. Live for me.

What you need... What we need...

is your will to live.

Yes, I know. I'll think that way.

I'm going to live.
I won't give up on hope.

Jang Se Hoon, I guess you're not...

Jung Min's secret enemy...

seeing that you want to start
a new life.

Does that mean
you're getting married?

No, your mother
doesn't want to get married.

Then you're just going to be
living together?

Gosh, stop asking questions.

We'll just be living together
as a family.

Isn't it a bit weird?

It's not like he's going to be
my stepdad.

So I'd pretty much be
living with your boyfriend.

It just doesn't look good.

If you guys want to live together,

you guys can get a place
of your own.

Then let's just get married...

and register our marriage
so I can be her stepdad.

My gosh, we agreed not to do that.

We have nothing to offer,
so it won't be a problem for us.

But legally speaking,
it won't do you any good.

You've become so kind, Mom.

It's not that. I just don't want
people to get the wrong idea.

Your father and I fought
throughout our entire marriage...

because people thought he married me
for my money.

I like him a lot,

so I just want us to be happy
and comfortable.

I don't want any bad energy
in our relationship.

Your mother has
the final decision in everything,

but it'd be nice to marry her
and register our marriage...

so that I can officially
be your stepdad...

and put you and your sister
on my family register.

If I get married,
it will make us a family.

You don't need to tie yourself down
by law to become our family.

That's not what I mean.

I'm saying there should be
a binding force in our relationship.

It will give us a sense
of responsibility.

My gosh, don't worry.

I told you I'll take care of you,
Mr. Kang.

Why can't you just live
a typical life?

If you marry a rich man,

you'll be able to live as a queen.

See? Even you
say that kind of stuff.

Gosh, she's just joking.

Pride is all your mother has.
Aside from that, it's all just fat.

- My goodness.
- "Fat"?

"Fat"?

I guess you checked how much
fat she has last night.

Gosh, I'm suddenly getting thirsty.

Gosh, I'm thirsty.

My goodness, you brat.
Mr. Kang will be living with us.

You need to stop being so rude.

Gosh, just go and get a place
without me.

Why do you want to live with me too?

It'd be nice to live with everyone
in our house.

You mean in this cramped house?

No. Our old house.

My gosh.

Mr. Kang actually bought
our old house?

My gosh, I guess he really is rich.

Stepdad!

I'm not like my mom.

I'd love to become
your legal daughter!

Let me be your legal daughter!

My goodness.

(Seorin)

(Products suggested to you
by our merchandisers)

Don't you think it'd be best
to tell him what happened?

Then he'll end up
fighting with his mom.

I don't want to cause Yeo Jin
to fall apart with his mother.

He had a crush on you for 10 years.

He won't accept it...

if you break up with him
for no specific reason.

That's why I'm asking you
what I should do.

I told you already.
Just be honest with him.

I told you I can't.

You just don't want
to break up with him, do you?

The fact that you can't decide
what to do...

proves that you haven't decided
to break up with him.

If I need to come up with
an excuse,

should I ask Ho Jin for help?

He could pretend to hit on me.

Mr. Kim and I are
seeing each other these days.

Are you guys a couple?

No, we're not exactly a couple.

We're both lonely,
so we just keep each other company.

Why don't you do the same
with Yeo Jin?

Why not just have fun
with no strings attached?

It looks like
we want different things.

If you get too sensitive,
you'll become unhappy.

If you let passion take over,
things will end really ugly.

You and I really don't get along.

Tell me about it.

(Online shopping)

That looks good.

I think the outfits
are matched nicely.

We'll soon be
launching our online mall.

I know we went through a lot,

but please stay on your toes
so we can get good results,

and continue to do your best.

You were hyperventilating
a moment ago,

but you're all energetic again
now that you're back to work.

The manager of Chung Group
is here with us,

so we should show how competitive...

our brand can be.

Your strong leadership
and the ability to empathize.

I've seen more than enough.

The only thing that's left is
to see how well you do in sales.

When you're at the top,
you're left in awe.

We'll do our best to make you
feel that way.

I love your strong mentality.

Mr. Shin, please focus.

I've been focused for a while now.

The products we plan to launch
this spring...

have very bright colors.

And they're able to keep
the body warm...

because of the materials
they were made with.

After we launch
the online shopping mall,

we plan to promote that product
very aggressively.

Ms. Choi.

During our last meeting,
you told me...

you're preparing a special delivery
box for a promotional event.

- Can you give me an update on that?
- Sure.

I made a sample like you asked.

What do you think?

I used the main color
of our products...

to match the box.

- The color came out nicely.
- Right?

I like the color,

but this isn't very different
from other online shopping malls.

How about we use emotional branding?

Like fortune cookies.

When our consumers open the box,

they'll get to see a lucky message
or a funny comment.

For example,
the sales for sweet persimmons...

once rose exponentially...

because they wrote a funny joke...

on their packaging
to make the customers laugh.

I know sales are important,

but making consumers laugh...

is also a very important
marketing strategy.

We're a fashion brand
that sells golf apparel,

so we can give tips
on fashion and golf...

or send a humorous
yet interesting message...

along with the products.

Then it will enable us
to have a better brand image...

and increase customer loyalty.

If we also send them
handwritten letters or postcards,

it will give them
an analogue sentiment to it as well.

Good idea.

Ms. Han.

Do you have an update
on the free gifts?

The main free gift will only be
given out in a set period of time,

so people will think it's scarce.

And when people buy our main line,

we're going to send them a coupon
to buy one more from the same line.

Then let's go ahead
and proceed with...

the promotional event
based on today's meeting.

Mr. Shin, I'll share
the meeting results via email.

We're done with the meeting.
Do you have something to add?

Do you know Baron Ashura?

It's a character from "Mazinger Z".

Are you trying to tell me
that I'm two-faced?

You need to be predictable...

in order to make the other person
feel at ease.

Listen to me, Mr. Shin.

I am listening, Ms. Lee.

Let's go.

My goodness.

Don't you think you're the one...

who's more unpredictable?

Are you going to keep
yelling at me?

Anger makes you age fast.

Mr. Shin.

Do you know what the best
kind of ability is?

It's the ability to apologize.

If you want to apologize,
do it properly.

I'm sorry about what happened
in the elevator.

I didn't know about your trauma.

My gosh. You don't know
the things you should know,

and you know things
that you shouldn't.

Then why don't we have
a cup of coffee...

and talk about the things
that I should and shouldn't know.

(Director Choi Myung Hwa)

These photos were taken
from different angles.

What does that mean?

Does that mean they were
taken by different people?

One of these photos was taken
by someone I sent.

That means the other photos...

were taken by someone else.

It looks like Jung Min has
another enemy other than myself.

Who do you think it is?

I figured you might
be able to find out.

I have this weird hunch...

that you might end up
ruining his life.

I have a hunch...

that it's you
who will ruin Jung Min.

I'm normally not that easy to hate.

You can be pretty annoying,

but you're charming
at the same time.

So I plan to get along with you
from now on.

(Phoenix 2020)

Thank you for coming to my house
to receive my resignation letter.

Mr. Kim will be of great help
to you, Director Seo.

I'm sure you'll hear good news...

from the institution in the States.

We were able to overcome
the situation thanks to Ms. Lee.

But it also had a negative effect.

Should I just marry her?

I'm Seo Eun Ju.
I got appointed as your secretary...

as of today.

I will do my best to support you.
