Park Sung-jun deals... with my husband's mistresses.

He's dealt with quite a few.

ASSIGNEE, LEE SOO-JUNG

He's created...

borrowed-name accounts for problems involving shares.

Mr. Park manages them.

Lee Soo-jung and Park are the owners of those shares too.

Did you... visit your mother?

Yes.

Will you teach me how to drive someday?

-Drive? -Mr. Lee...

brings me to work every day, and I feel so sorry.

Also, I just want to learn.

Sure, I'll teach you.

Then let's go for a drive this weekend and--

SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE STOCKHOLDERS

THE LARGEST SHAREHOLDER DOMESTIC CORPORATIONS

INDIVIDUAL STOCKHOLDERS

PARK SUNG-JUN

If we reveal his affair... along with the borrowed-name accounts,

both Park and On Yu-ri will go down.

We've got a meeting, Ms. Na.

All right.

-Hello. -Hello.

This event will be held as a fundraising party.

The donations will be made in customers' names.

Yes?

Jewelry brand suggested an event for a new product recently.

I think it suits this event.

Why don't we hold the two together as a collaboration?

Matchmaking is the main theme of this event.

This brand is popular among VIPs for their wedding gifts.

I like that.

Brand managers are desperate to make an excuse

to call VIPs when they get married.

The brands will love that.

I think VIPs will also like it.

That seems like a nice idea.

Send me the items the brand sent. I'll look at them.

We'll need a person in charge of that collaboration.

Why don't we let Ms. Song be in charge since she came up with the idea?

Isn't that too much responsibility...

for a junior assistant to handle?

The marketing team will take it since we're more experienced

in working with the brands.

This proposal was made for our team in the first place.

We've done lots of collaborative events with VIPs, so we'll be fine.

Ms. Song has managed to pull off Ms. Cha Se-rin's product fair before.

As this event is quite extensive... it means more responsibility.

Ms. Song?

I'll do it.

Hand me the proposal with the details added.

Yes, sir.

For the Black Society's promotional materials,

-PR and Ms. Lee will work together. -Okay.

Sure.

That's all for today.

Our schedule is tight, so please work hard, everyone.

-Okay. -Okay, sir.

Mr. Cha...

we need to talk.

Okay.

I wasn't trying to be obvious back there.

Tonight...

Would you like to have dinner at my place?

At your place?

I'd love to.

-See you later then. -Okay.

So the VIP team is taking all the main tasks?

Yes.

I hope Mr. Park gives some big tasks to the prestige team...

since he's the director of our team.

He probably tried to run the task force more efficiently

since the VIP team is more experienced with the VIP's events.

You know events don't always go how you expect.

There are always sudden changes.

And sometimes, unexpected things happen.

Right?

Yes. They do.

Alright.

Ma'am, you have a call request.

Who is it?

Mr. Bae Do-il wants to talk to you on the phone.

PRESIDENT HA TAE-YOUNG

I won't be able to spread my wings without your help, Mr. Kim.

I'm willing to help if you need it.

-Thank you very much. -Thank you.

MANAGER HA YU-RI

Let's toast.

Excuse me, I have a call.

Okay.

-Let's toast. -Sure.

Hello?

Have you eaten?

If not, will you have dinner with me?

I'm at dinner with the vice president and executives.

I see.

I'm sorry.

Get some rest.

Was that Ms. Na?

You guys are like a devoted couple.

I guess they're still like newlyweds.

Not really, sir.

-Let's have another. -Of course.

Actually, I've set this up because I have something to tell you.

I don't think the president should be decided by the chairman's opinion only.

Shouldn't someone who knows the department store better

be the president?

I plan to hold another meeting.

I saw it already.

You clearly resemble your father.

What?

What about me? Something good?

-Were you a good student, mom? -Yes, I was good.

Your mom used to be a top student in the whole school.

-She was a very good student. -Mom. You must be a genius!

-Then why did you marry Dad? -What?

Hey! I was also a good student.

Were you also a top student?

No, I wasn't.

Mom, are you the boss of your company?

Of course.

She's the best worker in the company. She even took on a very important job.

-Really? -Yes.

I'm going to tell my friends and brag about it!

I'm going to brag too.

-Sure. -Dad, look.

They only brag about you.

I should update my list of things

to show off, and I'm going to brainwash them.

Did you know that I made my own rice cake for my first birthday party?

Thanks.

Why did I marry Mom?

The one thing I know about this place...

is that it has the best night view.

It's beautiful.

You know about what happened... to Jung-sun and Sung-jun...

don't you?

What is Sung-jun thinking?

I don't know.

I can't tell what he's thinking.

I've known them both... since they first started seeing each other.

I never imagined they would break up...

like this.

Right.

I didn't think...

they'd ever break up.

I'm... someone who believes that eternal love is a fantasy.

Those two were the only ones...

who made me realize...

that a relationship like theirs also exists.

And it feels bitter... to see that thought shatter.

It's also... a bit sad.

Or maybe I've been smirking at people who believe love is eternal.

Maybe a part of me hoped it would exist.

-Will it take longer? -Yes, go to bed.

Take it easy.

I should do it well, since it's my last project.

If I were an employer...

I'd definitely hire you.

Who's a better worker than you?

Good night.

Sir?

Shall I call a cab?

-I'd appreciate that. -I'll call one right away.

FATHER

Hello?

Where to, sir?

Sir?

When your current project ends,

I'm planning to send you to study abroad.

You can go there first to study...

and I'll appoint Mr. Park to an American branch soon after.

Until then, you will not see him.

Until his divorce paperwork goes through...

your relationship is an affair.

Let me tell you again.

We're in a bad situation.

We can't afford a scandal.

I think I've done enough.

Don't you think?

VACANT

Sir.

Sir, we're here.

-Thank you. -Good night.

Thank you for your hard work.

OCTOBER, 2012

We haven't even started unpacking, and I'm already aching all over.

Here.

What are your thoughts on moving into our home, Mr. Park Sung-jun?

I love it.

Do you know one of those families?

They always argue, but they have each other's backs through hardships

like normal families do.

I always wanted to have that kind of family when I got married.

From now on, we'll argue,

make up with each other... and have a baby here.

We'll become a family like that.

I'm so glad...

that you are my husband.

I'm even gladder.

Let's live a great life together until we become old, Mr. Park Sung-jun.

I told the cab driver the wrong address.

I drank a little.

Leave.

You don't belong here anymore.

You see...

I believed you weren't a bad person.

But now I have no idea...

what kind of person you are.

MR. PARK SUNG-JUN

Hello?

Isn't this Mr. Park Sung-jun's phone?

You know whose phone this is?

He left it in my cab.

Where are you? I'll pick it up.

I'm near Hannam-dong, where I dropped him off.

Hannam-dong?

Welcome.

Hello.

Why do I have a stomachache all of a sudden?

Welcome.

Hello.

Welcome.

-You're Ms. Ha Yu-ri, right? -Yes.

I'm Kim Min-ki.

I've heard a lot about you.

What was that?

Mr. Kim Min-ki of TU Group is entering.

Please set up another table at the back over there.

Sure.

Do it now.

Ma Sang-woo. Where are you going?

-Why are you hiding? -Well...

I'm not hiding.

You don't want people to know you're the son of a minister?

Right now, you're junior assistant Ma Sang-woo.

So go back in there and do your job.

There are no secrets in this darn company.

Did you watch this? Don't you like their song?

Yes, I love it!

Should I invite you to the year-end party?

Really? Can you do that?

I'll talk to the secretary.

Awesome. You better invite us.

-You're always all talk. -Trust me.

Isn't... she the girl from Sungun?

She got rid of all that tackiness.

She's totally my style now.

Then go hit on her or something.

Say she doesn't look tacky anymore.

She's still a high school graduate and a waitress.

-You're right. -Figures.

She'll always be lowly.

Let's just drink.

They're busy checking on each other.

Don't you think it's cute?

I was the same once.

When you focus on love, you realize love isn't everything.

When you focus on backgrounds, you realize backgrounds aren't everything.

That's what marriage is about.

How far are you going to go?

Pardon?

Getting revenge.

I wish... you could see the bottom of it.

I wonder where the bottom will be.

Anyway, something amusing will happen soon.

Can you switch places for this one and that one?

Sure, ma'am.

-Is everything okay with the display? -Yes.

Thanks.

I am too...

ashamed to see you.

He isn't the type of person who would do such a thing. How could he?

Jung-sun.

I will scold him and fix that bad habit of his.

Can't you forgive him just once?

I'm sorry, Mother.

He and I can't be...

together.

It's over for us.

-Please, Jung-sun. -Please don't do this.

I apologize on his behalf.

I'm begging you.

Don't do this. Please get up.

This is all my fault.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

He shouldn't...

have done that.

He shouldn't have done such a thing.

This isn't your fault. Get up.

It's my fault. It's karma.

I should've lived a better life.

This happened to you two because I led a wrongful life.

It's not your fault.

It just...

happened to us, that's all.

So don't do this. Please get up.

No, it's all my fault.

It's because I raised him.

It's because he was raised by a mistress like me.

I'm the one to blame.

I'm the one to blame!

He said he wouldn't grow up to be like his father.

He used to say that he would be different.

This is all my fault.

-Please do so. -Yes, sir.

Are the arrangements and settings ready?

Yes.

Let's start in 30 minutes.

Okay.

By the way...

we should talk after this.

I have something to tell you.

Okay.

Mr. Park, we will start the catering service.

After the event...

why don't we have dinner?

Let's see how it goes.

I'm not sure for later.

Did you find your phone?

What?

Yes.

How did you know I lost it?

I called you yesterday.

I heard you left it in a cab.

Guess you drank too much.

Yes, I drank too much.

Did you go home right away?

Yes.

Ma Sang-woo!

What's this? I heard that you got a job.

Doing chores at a department store?

Right.

Keep working hard.

Employees have to work hard for the company to thrive.

I'll take you upstairs now.

Mr. Kim Min-seok is entering the room.

So that's why she's called Midas Song.

She's good at this.

She locks them up and sets them up.

One more.

Stop eating.

Why? It won't show even if I have one more bite.

What do they talk about in there?

"My family owns a hotel. What does your family have?"

"Oh, my family owns a department store! We're meant to be, I guess."

-Something like that? -I don't think so.

They're the people who think being straightforward is vulgar.

So you think you know what it's like to be rich?

Where will all these donations go?

Nowhere yet.

They'll decide later.

I see.

Where's Ms. Ha Yu-ri?

The prestige team should be inside the hall.

He wants to meet me?

Kim Min-ki seems to be interested in you.

I don't think I should join this.

I can't leave my place, so please decline it gently.

You can just relax and talk.

It's nothing, so why don't you try meeting him?

Turning him down could make him feel... irritated.

The success of this event is one of your goals, isn't it?

To be honest...

from an objective perspective...

Kim Min-ki of TU Group is out of your league.

It could be a good opportunity for you, as well.

-Stop giving Han Dong-il alcohol. -Sorry?

It hasn't gone public yet, but he's an alcoholic.

Make a substitute drink without alcohol.

I understand.

There are always sudden changes.

And sometimes unexpected things happen.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

Mr. Han Dong-il likes whiskey.

Make sure his glass stays full.

Okay.

You're here.

I apologize if I surprised you.

It's fine.

Isn't this awkward?

I feel awkward too.

I was a little surprised...

that you wanted to see me.

You seem different.

When you keep going to places like this...

people don't talk about their true feelings.

It's like talking under a mask sometimes.

But I thought you would be different.

That's why I wanted to meet you.

Isn't it hard working here?

It's fine.

If you're thirsty, I'll get you a drink.

These are my childhood friends.

Say hi. This is Ha Yu-ri.

Nice to meet you.

I've heard lots about you.

Please, have a seat.

Min-ki, what's with you always pretending to be busy?

You don't hang out with us.

Yeah! I think I might get mad.

Stop saying that.

Yu-ri, do you have plans next Saturday?

I'm having a party with my friends.

You can come if you're available.

I'll be there if I can.

All right.

Is your grandfather... doing well?

Yes, he's fine.

Here.

Hello.

Where's Jae-woong?

He'll be late due to a meeting.

Wonder what it's about.

Dragging me down maybe?

You must think this is all... very funny.

Sorry to bother you.

But I have something to ask you.

What's your plan from now on?

Can't you just get divorced?

It's over for you two anyway.

Please...

sign the divorce papers.

You have no idea... how he's suffering.

You have no idea.

Don't ever talk to me about this.

It's none of your business.

She doesn't want a divorce, right?

What do we do then?

If she doesn't sign the divorce papers... what do we do?

-Yu-ri-- -My father's sending us abroad.

We can...

start over again, where no one knows who we are.

She has to divorce you for that to happen!

Yu-ri...

I'll talk to you later.

Are you okay with this?

We can't even...

see each other properly.

Are you okay with that?

I can't take it anymore.

-I'll try this one one. -Of course.

Let's see then.

It was specially cut so that the diamonds glitter brighter.

It's so pretty.

I'll take it.

My colleague will help you with the payment.

Is it going well?

I got seven pre-orders for necklaces today.

Are you that happy?

I planned the whole project, selected the goods, and displayed them.

I'm happy it seems to be working out well.

Good job.

You should go.

Have fun.

Ms. Na!

The vice president's car is here.

This is the total amount from today's donations.

Good work on the event today.

I knew it.

You're good.

I appreciate all of you coming for today's charity event

to celebrate the opening of the Black Society.

We will do our best

to provide a new lifestyle

beyond goods and services in the future.

The funds you have raised with one mind and one goal today...

will be given to the LN Foundation.

All of it will be used to help the children of developing countries.

I will now call the recipient up on stage.

Please welcome Ms. Lee Soo-jung of the LN Foundation.

Hello.

I'm Lee Soo-jung of the LN Foundation.

I sincerely appreciate everyone

coming to join us today.

I will be sure

to deliver these funds that you have so kindly raised

to be spent meaningfully for children

who are going through difficult times.

Thank you.

How did this happen?

When Soo-jung comes down, bring her to me.

Yes, sir.

It seems we won't have time to talk.

We'll talk later.

Don't answer if he calls you.

I'll take care of everything.

Use this...

and stay overseas for a while.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you, sister-in-law.

With you on my side...

I have nothing to worry about.

I'm not doing this for you.

Take the opportunity to teach Jae-woong a lesson.

How was your meeting with Mr. Kim?

-Yes, well... -How was it?

He's a good man.

Isn't it... sad?

No matter how hard they live...

they can never be like those people in the other world.

Yu-ri, you're lucky.

If I were you... I'd never miss out on that chance.

What? Let go. Give me the glass.

Give it to me!

Bring me a drink!

Stop drinking. You're drunk already.

Hey.

I'm a VIP. You're an employee.

How dare you disobey your customer?

Look, you're drunk. Why don't you just go home?

I'm not drunk.

So I'll just have one more.

You're very drunk. Let's go.

Get off my back!

Look.

I'm not drunk.

Just one more drink.

You're very drunk.

I said I'm okay!

Let me escort you out.

I'm not drunk!

-Dammit! -Sang-woo! Sir.

Sir, the event is about to end soon.

We will have your car ready to take you home.

Sungun Department Store is unbelievable.

What terrible service.

-What is your name, miss? -I'm the VIP team's--

I'll tell my mom about this. Huh?

-That's enough. -Sang-woo...

How dare you keep ordering me around?

-Sir. -What is your name again?

-Sang-woo. -Move!

You little brat.

-Sir. -Let go. Let go of me!

Ms. Na!

Ms. Na! Wake up. Ms. Na!

Ms. Na, please wake up.

-Ms. Na, come on! -Jung-sun.

-Ms. Na. -Jung-sun!

Jung-sun, wake up. Jung-sun!

Jung-sun, wake up. Jung-sun!

Call an ambulance.

-Call an ambulance now! -Okay.

-Jung-sun. -Oh my God!

-Jung-sun! -Jung-sun.

What happened?

What happened?

Jung-sun.

Jung-sun, stay with me.

Jung-sun!

Jung-sun, please.

Jung-sun. Come on, Jung-sun.

-One person can come. -I'll go. I'm her husband.

Okay, get in.

You'll be okay.

It's going to be okay, Jung-sun.

It's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

You look quite pathetic.

There was slight bleeding in her brain.

It's not serious enough for surgery. Let's see her recovery.

Thank you.

CONTACT LIST

MR. PARK SUNG-JUN

You're up.

Yes.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

Your father is coming.

He's coming back from his business trip.

He's very worried.

Sung-jun...

Let's stop, you and I.

Let's just stop.

Were these worth doing for yourself?

-Do you like it? -I warned you!

Go to Park, if you want to be with him, but you'll leave here as On Yu-ri.

You know that? You look sad whenever you're with me.

I needed to make a choice when I was on the edge.

At some point, I realized I was way off.

I wonder if we really understood each other as a married couple.
