- She's here. - There she is.

Ms. Lee, how does it feel to have cleared your name?

Seo Eun Ju, your husband's stalker, ended up dying.

How do you feel about that?

You're always in the center of controversy.

How did you manage to marry the owner of Seorin...

even though you were a divorcee?

You used to be a helper, and you're now a CEO.

Your life changed completely just like Cinderella.

- Was it all thanks to your husband? - Please move aside!

- Ms. Lee! - Please tell us what you think!

- Ms. Lee! - How do you feel?

- Tell us how you feel! - How do you feel about all this?

Ms. Lee!

She fainted!

- Ms. Lee fainted! - She fainted!

- She fainted! - Ji Eun! Ji Eun!

- Ji Eun! - Ms. Lee, are you okay?

- Ji Eun, wake up! Ji Eun! - Is she okay?

What do you think? Do you like it?

Thank you. It looks nice.

You're already so pretty, so your makeup stands out even more.

(Episode 107)

Isn't my outfit too fancy?

It should look fancy.

Our sales finally managed to reach...

- 10 million dollars. - That's right.

It's all thanks to Bisang Textile's employees...

and the factory workers.

I just did my job as the CEO.

If you're going to give us all the credit, we won't refuse.

This outfit will become popular if you wear it on TV.

Everything you wear on social media gets sold out.

But of course, it's all for business.

I must say, you really had to go through a lot...

because of all the rumors that went around.

So I'm really happy that you managed to come this far.

If it weren't for your consolation and support,

I wouldn't have been able to endure it.

You know today's show is going to have a huge effect...

on promoting our company, right?

Good luck with your interview.

That's so pressuring.

Oh, right. Just a second.

Ta-da.

Director Seo is so delicate.

It's a gift from him.

My husband really does have great taste.

Do you like it?

I didn't even need to think twice.

The earrings were elegant just like you, Ji Eun.

Now that you're busy appearing on TV shows,

you'll become even busier than before.

Good luck with your interview. I wish you all the best.

Ms. Lee, it's time for the shoot.

Okay.

You combined athleisure wear with golf apparels...

and created a new trend.

And thanks to that, your sales reached...

10 million dollars in just 6 months.

You got rid of the barrier between daily wear and sportswear...

and created a golf apparel brand for everyday wear.

It was very new.

How did you come up with the idea?

I thought it'd be more practical and appealing...

to bring golf wear into our daily lives.

I love playing sports,

so I focused more on designing outfits...

that can be worn on a day-to-day basis.

I guess that means you were able to come up with the idea...

thanks to your flexible thinking.

People are starting to love their bodies the way they are,

and body positivity has become a big culture in itself,

and I think we managed to fulfill the needs of our consumers.

Okay, it's time for the next question.

Your romance with Seorin Group's third-generation conglomerate.

I know this may not sound very pleasant,

but people say you're like Cinderella.

How do you honestly feel when you hear people say that?

I wouldn't necessarily call my husband prince charming.

Of course, he's financially stable.

But it's not about his money.

It's true that I found the prince who loves me like no other.

So I don't get too offended by it.

Okay. Now this question is a bit more serious.

You might not think this is something...

you're obligated to tell to the viewers,

but it was such a shocking issue.

And stalking is a serious crime.

Of course, you were the one who suffered the most...

since you even got framed.

But in the end, Seo Eun Ju and her accomplice, Yang In Cheol,

both died because the car fell.

How do you feel about that?

I had a really hard time after the incident.

My husband and I both could've died because of her.

And I always thought she should get punished for what she did.

But all lives are precious.

So both my husband and I...

feel very sad about the car accident.

Your husband pretty much caught the culprit on his own...

even when the police had failed to catch her.

Why don't you use this chance...

to say something affectionate to your husband?

You're the one who lights up my life...

and the most precious person in the entire world.

Every day, I feel so happy and grateful...

that I'm able to love you.

Thank you, and I love you, Jung Min.

(Kim Seol A's Interview)

Gosh, you look great on camera.

How do you talk so eloquently?

Weren't you nervous?

I was really nervous.

Thanks for the earrings.

I know your taste, don't I?

That's not all.

You also know how to make me feel touched.

Then can you make me spicy noodles? I want it extra spicy.

I'll make it with love and make sure it tastes really delicious.

Don't you need my help?

Don't you need to finish watching the advertisements...

you were watching earlier?

Oh, right.

They all won awards this year, so I'm hoping they'll help.

I haven't done any advertisements in a while,

so I need to think of new ideas and make sure I'm not outdated.

I'll bring your spicy noodles to your study.

My kid would look so cute in these shoes.

Hello, Mother. Why are you still awake?

Can you talk?

Of course.

I couldn't ask Ji Eun, so I called to ask you instead.

The result comes out tomorrow, right?

Yes.

I think you can look forward to it.

Her hCG came out positive,

so the doctor told me it's highly likely...

that she's pregnant this time.

But we can never be sure,

so don't tell Ji Eun about this.

I'd be really happy if we get blessed with a baby,

but if we're not able to have one, we'll just have to accept it.

I don't mind living with Ji Eun without a child.

Yes.

Oh, okay. Goodnight, Mother.

I'm sure you'll be waiting, so I'll call you tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

It looks delicious.

Aren't you going to eat?

- I'm not hungry. - I see.

It tastes amazing.

What is it that you can't do?

I can't have babies.

I really want a baby that looks just like you.

And I know you really want one too...

although you try hard not to show it.

But what are we going to do if our hard work doesn't pay off?

Is there something wrong?

No, it's nothing.

That means something's wrong.

I forgot to bring tissues.

You look tired. You should go to bed first.

I still have to finish reading the documents.

I'll clean up after I finish eating.

Is that really okay with you?

I'll finish up and be in bed as fast as possible.

Ji Eun. Ji Eun.

What's wrong? Did you have another nightmare?

Why do I keep dreaming of Seo Eun Ju?

I guess you still pity her.

She had such a sad life.

She was hurt and heartbroken.

I know.

I also feel bad that she had to die like that.

But she was a patient who needed treatment.

She's not someone you need to pity.

Lie back down.

You have a meeting early tomorrow morning.

Lie down.

Jung Min.

My pregnancy result comes out tomorrow morning.

So I'll just go to the hospital alone.

You said you have an important meeting in the afternoon.

Then promise me that you won't get depressed...

even if you're not pregnant.

By the way,

you haven't forgotten about our dinner date tomorrow, right?

It's the day we met for the very first time.

Your favorite restaurant became a really popular place,

so it was hard to get a reservation.

We haven't been on a date in ages. My heart's starting to flutter.

You're such a great husband, Jung Min.

You always tell me that your heart flutters.

That's because I mean it.

Does your heart not flutter for me anymore?

How could my heart not flutter...

for such a great man?

(Seorin)

I really enjoyed yesterday's show.

I spent all day answering calls from my acquaintances...

and hearing them tell me how smart and pretty she is.

You really married a catch, Jung Min.

She's not only pretty and kind,

but she's even helping the company's sales grow every day.

Don't you agree?

I always knew she was competent,

but I had no idea Bisang Textile would become...

so successful so quickly.

Working hard doesn't always guarantee a successful business.

She rewards the employees based on their performance,

so the employees respect her.

And she has the ability to bring out the best in every person,

which means she was born with a gift to become a businesswoman.

People management is all that matters...

when it comes to managing a business.

I haven't told anyone this yet,

but once it's the right time,

I think Ji Eun should be the one in charge of running Seorin Group.

I'm not sure.

She's our family now,

so there's no reason to say now.

But I must say, I'm flustered.

I thought you were just taking a break from Seorin...

because you've been away from your advertisement company for too long.

I don't ever plan on going back.

After your father died,

the company was in a crisis,

and you insisted on turning it into a transparent company.

So after many ups and downs,

we managed to come to a middle ground,

and Kim Myung Seok, the CEO,

barely managed to bring stability...

to the company again.

But his contract will be done in three years.

After that, you should be in charge of Seorin.

Did Ji Eun ask you for the position?

No, it's just my idea.

I haven't even told her about it.

Bisang Textile is one of our affiliates.

We can merge the subsidiaries that have good performances...

and improve our financial structure.

Then we'll be able to gather enough money...

for a long-term investment internally. Wouldn't that be best?

And we need to succeed in targeting not just the Asian market,

but also the Central and Latin American market...

in order for Seorin to become...

a global company.

We already proved our capability...

back when we did a joint project with Chung Group.

And you know better than anyone that Ji Eun was the one who made...

the biggest contribution in achieving that.

She can speak Chinese and English,

and I know she has the ability to do business globally.

But I'm still against it. Maybe I'm old-fashioned.

If your wife is too successful, it might make you feel small.

Most importantly, your grandfather built this business.

So I think you should be the one in charge of it.

Gosh, we're not some kind of a royal family.

I'm against inheriting the company to a family member.

I'm not saying Ji Eun should be...

the chairwoman of Seorin because she's my wife.

Because she's a woman, she has a flexible mindset,

she's meticulous and generous.

And most importantly, she's quick to take action.

That's her strength.

So I know for sure that she will succeed...

in leading the business to become a socially responsible company...

while making sure the company makes good money.

Then she'll be busy with work every single day.

She won't have any time to get pregnant.

Don't you know that Ji Eun is like Superwoman?

Please don't stress her out with the pregnancy.

She's already getting those shots...

and doing her best to get pregnant.

Goodness.

She's not even that young.

If you keep postponing it, it'll be too late.

I know I shouldn't stress her out,

which is why I haven't been saying anything to her.

But you should at least talk to her.

Tell her to cut down on work...

and focus on getting pregnant.

Let's be honest. I know you want a baby.

I only talked to her mother because I felt really careful.

But according to the doctor,

it's highly possible that she might get pregnant this time.

Really?

A baby that looks like you and Ji Eun will look so cute.

I hope she has twins.

A boy and a girl.

(Taeyang Medical Center)

Ms. Lee Ji Eun.

Your hCG came out positive,

so it was highly likely that you were pregnant.

But I don't see a baby in your womb.

It's already the sixth time, isn't it?

I bet you're pretty exhausted.

Would you like to get some rest for about a month?

I'm not sure.

I'll discuss it with my husband.

I feel so bad.

That woman who works for my dad apparently got divorced.

My goodness, why?

She's pretty, makes good money,

and really polite to her in-laws.

So I thought her husband was head over heels for her.

Her mother-in-law was always busy bragging about her daughter-in-law.

That's why I feel so bad for her.

She got divorced because she couldn't have babies.

My goodness.

She was infertile,

so she tried artificial insemination for years at this hospital.

But in the end, she failed.

One day, her husband had an affair with a colleague,

and it turns out she got pregnant.

My goodness.

She was loved by her in-laws,

but the moment they found out that the other woman got pregnant,

they asked her to sign the divorce papers.

How could they be so harsh?

I know it's harsh,

but her husband is apparently a third-generation only child.

They need a child to carry on the family tree.

His wife only got kicked out...

because she couldn't have babies.

No matter how close a couple may be,

things can feel empty if they don't have kids.

Marriage is all about having babies...

and becoming a family.

If a couple grows old without children,

it'll be hard for them to bond.

It's so easy for a marriage to end in a divorce.

Babies really do bring couples a lot closer together.

(My husband)

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

Please leave a message...

She still has time until she goes to the hospital.

I wonder if she's busy with the meeting she told me about.

Stop caring so much about your wife and focus on our work.

"An unexpected happiness".

That's the meaning of our agency's name, Serendipity.

And we chose that as the theme for our public campaign.

I know.

It's nice that we're helping children...

with incurable illnesses to feel fulfilled and all.

But that's not the problem.

If we keep doing public campaigns,

the company will go bankrupt.

Stop exaggerating. We make advertisements for businesses too.

That's not the issue.

Once we pay our staff including ourselves,

we're always left with nothing.

So we should be grateful.

These days, you can go to jail for not paying your employees.

It's amazing that we're able to pay them properly.

Forget it.

That's easy to say when you're you.

You have a beautiful wife, you're from a rich family,

and you live with no worries.

Our lives are completely different.

I need a lot of money to get married.

My gosh.

It's not money that's stopping you from getting married.

It's just that you're too picky.

I'm not picky.

It's hard to find a woman whom I can easily get along with.

There's no perfect woman for everyone.

You just need to learn to meet in the middle.

So are you and Bok Ja friends now?

She agrees that we're from a similar background,

and she finds me comfortable,

but she told me her heart doesn't flutter for me.

Oh, dear. I feel so bad.

My heart still flutters around Ji Eun.

We're going on a date today,

and my heart is already starting to beat.

My gosh.

Your heart is supposed to beat like that.

My gosh, you're so lame.

Hey, single man.

Stop being so cranky.

But why isn't she picking up?

You're so obsessed over your wife.

Let's go now. We'll be late for the meeting.

I enjoyed the show yesterday.

Did you just get back?

Yes, are you off to a meeting?

No, I'm going to go to the factory without telling them.

I'll be going straight from there.

I'm sure you're tired too, so you should go home early.

You really need to stop working too much.

By the way, did you ask Jung Min...

that you'd like to take over Seorin one day?

Jung Min told me that he thinks it'd be nice...

to put you in charge of Seorin...

once the time is right.

But I disagree.

I admit that you're competent.

But I personally think it's more important for you...

to fulfill your duty as a wife than as a businesswoman.

By the way,

didn't you get the results for your artificial insemination today?

I guess it didn't work.

I'm sorry.

Goodness.

I know it's hard.

But you must get pregnant.

You need to make a family for Jung Min.

That should be your utmost priority.

I hope you don't feel upset. It's just your duty.

Should I call Mr. Seo?

No, it's okay.

(Director Choi Myung Hwa)

You're always so busy, so I thought you might not make it.

I'm surprised you came.

I came because you told me you have some good champagne.

Is there something wrong?

Life always surprises you with things.

Life gets a lot easier once you know what it's about.

And if one thing gets resolved, another problem arises.

I've been through a lot,

but I was able to resolve the resentment I had.

I also reconciled with Jung Min,

and now we're even close enough to have champagne together.

I guess that's why they say nothing's bad forever.

I also think it's great we're able to get along now, Director Choi.

You told me not to treat you like a mother-in-law.

You know that's why I keep calling you "Director Choi", right?

Don't let it upset you.

I don't want to be called Jung Min's stepmother.

I feel bad about saying this,

but it was painful for me to live with his father.

And Jung Min told me he understood.

I still think we're a family. We're just a bit different.

I feel so happy and grateful that I was able to marry Jung Min,

but I keep getting nervous these days.

Why?

I don't know.

You're really busy with work these days,

and you must feel pressured due to all the attention.

So why don't you take a break?

You're truly able to hear yourself once things get silent.

You should ask yourself why you keep feeling so nervous.

You didn't come to dinner without even telling me.

You didn't answer my calls.

You ignored my texts.

Do you know how worried I was?

Where did you drink so much?

I don't feel like talking right now.

Can you get angry at me tomorrow?

I figured things might not have worked out...

seeing that I couldn't reach you.

But I told you, Ji Eun.

I told you I'm fine without a baby.

I'm not fine.

Every time you tell me you're fine,

I end up feeling sorry, and I'm sick of it.

I'm also sick of...

trying so hard when it's so hard to get pregnant.

Ji Eun.

Don't call me like that.

Hearing you call my name like that makes me feel even sadder.

I want to be alone. Just give me some space.

What's wrong?

Someone was in the kitchen.

What?

(Phoenix 2020)

I married you...

because I was okay with not having any children.

Why do I constantly feel so nervous?

Aren't you going to look for Mr. Kang?

He won't come back to me just because I got a divorce.

Did you like him that much?

I'll never be able to get over him.

Do you feel exhausted about living with me?

- What is the problem? - I'm the problem!

Gosh, let's just drop it.

This is too boring.
