In fact...

there's something I couldn't tell you yet.

What is it?

I like Kim Soon Jung.

Whenever I see Kim Soon Jung

my heart beats fast and aches.

Because...

whenever I see you

I feel disgraceful and shameful.

Whenever I see you...

I want to be a good person to you.

And a good man.

Today is a strange day.

Isn't it?

I'll take this one.

Episode 8

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Is it done yet? Do it quickly.

It's almost done.

What? Is there something?

There's nothing. Not even a drop of blood.

I don't think this car is it.

- Do it again! - There's no point!

Come quickly!

My heart is pounding so hard.

Finally a date for the board meeting has been set.

Both the union and the board are supporting you.

You can just keep going until your official appointment ceremony.

Ms. Kim Soon Jung.

Yes, Chairman.

Thanks for the appointment ceremony plan draft.

I like the first option, so go ahead with that one.

And review the press release for me.

Yes, Sir. I'll talk to the PR team and take a look.

Isn't it inefficient that I have to give you orders this way?

Pardon?

I can't wait for you to start working in my secretary office.

Oh...

I see. Yes, sir.

Keep up the good work.

Oh, Kang Bond!

I'm sorry for being late.

Let's go in.

Why did you want to come here?

You have a very important meeting to attend tomorrow.

So, I'm choosing a suit for you.

- An important meeting? - Yes.

Our chairman is coming to Korea.

He's coming to commend you for your great work on Hermia.

- He is? - Yes.

He wants to select a company to sell Hermia to

and also look into other investment opportunities.

Hermia hasn't gone bankrupt yet.

There's no point of choosing a buyer so soon.

They will go bankrupt anyway.

You know they'll choose a new vice president in two months.

You're the most promising candidate. Don't fail to impress the chairman.

You look good.

It's too small.

Can I pick a tie for myself?

My goodness. I'm crazy!

I told you. You shouldn't date a colleague.

Mr. Song hit on me first.

What? It was Mr. Song?

- The handsome man, Mr. Song? - Yes.

He was always cold to me.

But when he got drunk...

he said those sweet words!

So? How far did you go?

Well, just a kiss on the lips.

See? I knew it!

Hey, Mr. Song is a player!

He got fired from his previous work for flirting with a married woman.

What? I can't believe it!

What now? It's going to be awkward!

For the sake of your job

you should just ignore him as if nothing happened.

Soon Jung, why aren't you eating?

I will eat.

Chairman Lee is here.

Please sit down.

Please keep eating.

Please sit down. I'm here to have lunch.

Let's go.

Enjoy your meal. Thank you.

- You too. - I'll go, too.

Enjoy your meal.

What are you doing here, sir?

Don't you see? I'm eating.

Well...

If you do this, I could get indigestion.

How fun.

You're using honorifics and I'm not.

Eat this too. You like fried eggs.

Hey.

What are you doing the day after tomorrow?

Hello, sir.

The day the board is selecting the new CEO?

If you don't have plans, let's have dinner together.

I want to have a celebration party with you.

- That is... - Should I feed you?

Okay, I'll see you then, sir.

Thank you, Ms. Kim Soon Jung.

Hello.

Oh!

Mr. Ma!

The chairman must be really interested in the Hermia deal.

Even though my uncle ruined it

the company can be extremely profitable.

Anyway, you should be the one to greet the prospective buyers.

- You better be prepared. - Okay.

You need your car tomorrow. I wonder if it's fixed yet.

I guess the car had a major breakdown

the day you went to see your parents with Soon Jung.

Yes.

I'll call the auto shop.

- Woo Shik. - Yeah?

Let's say...

there's this girl who finds you ridiculous and hates you.

But then,

she gets drunk and kisses you.

Goodness, what a nice girl!

What should you do after that?

How do you feel about her? Do you like her?

As for me, I just...

- It's not about me. - I know that.

Does that idiot like the girl?

A little.

- Then the answer is obvious. - What is it?

- You said she hates you. - It's not me!

I know it's not about you.

Clinging onto her just because you kissed her once, is the worst thing to do.

Man, what should I do?

I mean, what should I tell him?

It's simple. There's only one answer.

What is that?

Mr. Ma, what brought you to Seoul?

Well, let me give you this first.

What is this?

The central factory and Hermia's R&D worked together to develop new products.

These are the new product development plans.

I see. But then why do you give them to me?

Can you show it to Director Kang?

Pardon?

They announced a restructuring plan for the factory.

There's only a month left until they start laying people off.

We're very frustrated.

Won't we be forced to lose our jobs at this rate?

We talked to Joon Hee, I mean, Chairman Lee.

It sounded like the board doesn't have much power.

Gold Partners has control over the company now.

These new products have good prospects.

We're confident in reviving our company if given the opportunity.

Well...

Their goal is to shut down the company and then sell it.

That's way more profitable to them.

Probably... it won't work.

I know.

I wouldn't try if it were someone else. But...

This is Director Kang's father's company.

We can at least tell him that he can make it a good company.

I guess he's not home again.

Gosh.

It's so awkward. How can I bring this up?

- What are you doing? - My goodness!

Why are you so startled?

You came out of nowhere.

What's up? What is that?

I have something to tell you.

Act cool in the best way you can.

Watch me.

'Oh, what? Did anything happen yesterday?'

'You aren't feeling well?' Just like that.

- What a jerkface move! - That's it.

Girls are more attracted to bad boys.

I've always been a bad guy, but women didn't like me that much.

Man!

Bad is different from crazy!

I have something to say too. Come on in.

That's right. Act cool!

Act cool in the best way you can.

- Well... - Well.

I'll go first.

Okay.

Go ahead.

This isn't how it was supposed to go.

Please take a look at this.

What is it?

It's the new product development plans

that the central factory and Hermia's R&D are working on.

Why did you bring this to me?

Can't you please give this company one more chance?

What?

Your father devoted his entire life to this company.

It's a shame to close it down like this.

You will see that the new products have good prospects.

- If you open up... - Hey, hold on.

Did you come here to say that?

Yes.

Is there anything else you want to say?

No, I don't.

You know this is the first time we've seen each other since that day.

But you have nothing to say?

Well, about that...

I thought it was best not to talk about it.

I think we both made a mistake.

So you're saying...

that you made a huge mistake because you were drunk.

Excuse me?

How can you put it that way?

You know why? Because I was being sincere that day.

Since then, I've been agitated, excited, and I missed...

I was like that.

But you have nothing to talk about other than business.

I'm sorry. I didn't want that to affect my work

or make you feel uncomfortable.

You're the one who feels uncomfortable about this situation.

Okay.

I'll talk business now then.

- Take this away. - Director Kang...

I work in mergers and acquisitions.

Did you think you could persuade me with that kind of sentimental talk?

Yes.

That's what I thought.

About what?

I thought you were changing little by little.

You secretly helped Chairman Kang.

You had a hard time after he died.

Aren't those signs that you're changing?

So?

That person you said that night had nothing to be ashamed of...

you want me to make that choice to be him?

'Forsake your old way of life, and live a different life.'

I'm afraid and scared what hardships I might face by doing that.

But... you want me to make that choice?

- It could be a good choice... - Shut up!

Stop talking nonsense.

No matter what you say, I will be me.

I'll keep living the same way I've lived so far.

Don't ever bring this up again.

I'll protect you.

How?

I will help you and protect you

so you won't feel confused or scared.

I'm being sincere.

Finally, the chairman of Gold Partners is coming to Korea tomorrow.

Is that so?

Wow, we finally get to meet him! Our chairman!

The problem is...

he wants to visit the prospective buyers and also the central factory.

But the central factory is on strike starting today.

They're taking a strong stand.

What should we do?

Take care of it immediately.

Yes, sir.

The strike could put us in a bad position to negotiate in selling Hermia.

It could completely jeopardize the whole thing.

No...

Anyway, they'll ultimately blame Kang Min Ho and Gold Partners.

We'll do it secretly and pretend to be neutral.

Understood. I will take care of it immediately.

Gold Partners' chairman will judge our board's abilities based on this.

If we make sure Hermia goes bankrupt

we can keep our titles even after the company is sold.

The chairman will guarantee it himself.

I see. I understand.

Oh, your name plate...

- Stop the layoffs! - Stop the layoffs!

Guarantee our employment!

- Guarantee our employment! - Guarantee our employment!

You said you'd protect me?

Yes.

Director Kang.

You came back to life from the brink of death.

If you were given a second chance, couldn't you lead a different life?

Hey.

Those who end up getting hurt the most by your revenge

aren't your uncle or the people who betrayed your father

but the honest, hard-working people.

Moreover, your father's dream has disappeared.

Anything that will disgrace your father...

please don't let that happen again.

Hello.

Did you call for me?

I need you to go somewhere for work.

Where?

Go get the missing financial reports from the central factory.

I'm supposed to go, but I can't since our chairman is coming in.

Please help us.

I understand.

Have you had a chance to look at the documents I left?

Did you think I'd look at them if you left them here?

You're being sneaky.

- I'm sorry. - That's good.

You can take them back since you're going to the factory.

I need that financial report on my desk by 3 p.m.

Okay.

So awkward.

Hey, let's go!

Mr. Ma, this is Soon Jung!

Oh, Soon Jung!

I'm on my way to the central factory.

What for?

Is this about our talk yesterday?

It's not that. It's something else.

Judging from the tone in your voice, I guess it didn't go well.

Don't worry.

I didn't expect too much anyway.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. Let's have lunch together when you get here.

Okay. I'll call you when I arrive.

Okay.

Did you pick a good place to treat the chairman?

Yes, of course.

I looked into what his preferences are like, and picked a perfect place.

- Don't worry. - And...

What I ordered you, how did it go?

I hired a company this morning.

You can trust them.

Okay.

In an hour's time, the work on the central factory will get started.

The factory must be normalized before the chairman comes.

Make sure no one knows about this. Understand?

Yes, of course.

I'll remind them once more.

It's time to go, right?

Yes, we'll be on-time if we leave now.

What's the chairman's schedule?

He's going to visit the central factory tomorrow.

After Chairman Lee's appointment becomes official

there will be a dinner party with the board.

Hold on.

He's visiting the central factory tomorrow?

Yes.

So, you won't attend the board meeting.

You'll escort the chairman to the factory.

You can't even go in there because of the strike.

Don't worry. That's already taken care of.

What do you mean?

Chairman Lee used special measures.

He used special measures?

The strike will be broken up today.

We decided to send some guys over.

The factory will be cleaned out soon.

Hi!

What? You sent people over?

Yes, they're probably about to start.

Why did you do that?

Are you serious?

We can't be in a bad position for negotiation because of the strike.

What's more important to us than that?

Go get the missing financial reports from the central factory.

Oh, no.

Kang Bond! Hey!

- It was warm this afternoon. - Soon Jung!

So good to see you! I heard Mi Jin went to college.

- A very good one. - Give her my congratulations!

- Thanks! - Keep up the good work!

Answer the phone!

- Hello! - You came!

So nice to see you! Are you a drummer?

How does it sound?

Your children are well?

They are.

Soon Jung!

Oh, long time, no see! So good to see you!

Have some coffee!

The party you are trying to reach is not available.

Guarantee our employment!

It must be hard.

Not at all. We're doing it all together!

I think you need more practice.

Practice what?

You were offbeat.

- Me? - Yes, you kept making mistakes.

That's not true!

What's that?

- Who are they? - What is that?

Get started!

Are you okay?

Oh, my goodness!

Stop it!

Mr. Ma!

Mr. Ma! Are you okay?

Oh, no! Mr. ma!

Are you okay? Oh, no!

Kim Soon Jung!

My goodness, how can this happen?

What did they say?

Luckily, she has a minor concussion.

She'll experience nausea and dizziness for a few days.

Other than that, she'll be fine.

You look sicker than Soon Jung.

Go outside and call Director Han, or just get some fresh air.

I'm fine.

Listen to me. You could collapse if you keep this up.

Watch her for a moment.

That jerk! It's all his fault!

It's him! It's him!

How dare you come here?

How dare you come here!

Are you human?

How can you call yourself a human after that?

So many people are injured!

Are you satisfied now?

So, why did you go on strike?

What?

Why do you risk your life for something you can't change?

What is this measly company to you?

Why do you risk your life for a company like this?

Why?

Because we want to live like humans.

People like you, who aren't even humans, worse than humans

don't treat us like humans.

That's why we're going to any lengths, just to live like humans!

Got that?

You think that'll get you humane treatment?

Didn't today teach you anything? Your lives are as trivial as flies!

- How dare you! - Give up now.

You can't ever win a fight against beasts, okay?

How dare you talk that way!

Stop!

Since you're a beast, I'll treat you like a beast!

Stop it, all of you!

Soon Jung!

Please stop it already.

He has nothing to do with what happened today.

I know him because I work for him.

Director Kang didn't send those people.

He wouldn't have come here if he had done that.

Why would he come, knowing that he could get hurt too?

Please, everyone.

Stop it now.

This is the president of my company.

And this is Mr. Lee.

Hello. It's nice to meet you.

Your Korean is good. This way.

Thank you.

Cheers! Cheers!

Yeah?

You're a good businessman. Don't worry.

Everything will go smoothly. Let's toast to the future.

Know your place.

Why did you take my side, looking like that?

I didn't take your side.

I just told them the truth.

How do you know whether I did it or not?

You sent me there.

You're not the type of person who would have done that

if you had known someone would get hurt.

Don't talk like you know everything.

I promised you.

That I would protect you.

Today.

Right here.

You came to save me, right?

Thank you very much, Director Kang.

You're doing that again.

Gosh.

What will you do now?

You're swayed so easily.

How will you live like a bad person when you're like that?

You're driving me crazy.

Who am I for you to feel grateful towards?

Who am I that you would protect someone like me?

Things keep going wrong when I'm with you.

My life is getting messed up because of you.

- Director Kang. - Today was extremely important to me.

I messed it up again because of you.

What the heck are you?

Let me breathe, please!

Okay?

Please save him, Doctor.

You crazy jerk! Have you lost your mind?

How dare you miss such an important meeting?

It happened that way.

I couldn't reach Woo Shik either, after he went to find you.

What were you thinking?

Everything went well without me. So it's okay.

We don't have time to argue whose fault it is.

I told the chairman you had to leave because you were sick.

So you better tell him the same story.

The chairman will visit the central factory in three hours' time.

The acquiring company's representative will come too.

Go to the factory. Don't be late and go to Icheon.

Soon Jung, why did you come to work?

My goodness. I can't believe it.

You should have stayed at home.

I have to take the meeting minutes. I had no choice.

Those rats from Gold Partners!

How dare they hire gangsters like that!

You got it all wrong.

Those rats might be in this company.

What do you mean?

Rumor has it that Director Yoon sent those guys to the factory.

If that's true, he wouldn't have done that alone.

Chairman Lee may have ordered it.

What?

Chairman Lee and the board are working with Gold Partners

running dirty errands for them. That's the rumor.

Is the central factory issue resolved now?

Yes, those guys took care of it.

Is anyone hurt?

Since they had to threaten them, some people were injured, inevitably.

I heard some people from headquarters were there too.

- People from headquarters? - Yes, Secretary Kim was there.

You mean Kim Soon Jung?

Yes.

Soon Jung!

How badly were you hurt?

What did the hospital say?

Why don't you ask...

how I got hurt?

Min Ho.

Doctor Cho.

What's the matter? Do you feel sick again?

Mister.

How should I live from now on?

You should live well.

I'm not joking. I'm really confused.

About what?

I have an important decision to make today.

But... my heart and my brain aren't telling me to do the same thing.

So I don't know what choice to make.

At first I hated it.

The unfamiliar feelings I had and my strange behaviors.

But strangely...

To the woman who makes my heart flutter...

The woman who makes my heart beat fast.

I want to be a good person to her.

I want to live sharing that same dream with her.

However...

this isn't me.

They're just some physical symptoms. It's not me.

Maybe I'm a quack who believes in God's providence.

I believe it was part of God's plan when that heart chose you.

Please!

The situation has changed now.

The person you wanted to take revenge on is gone now.

You have a new heart, new people, and a new world.

You just need to decide how to live your life.

This heart is you.

Your brain is also you.

You decide what kind of Kang Min Ho you want to live as.

People are saying strange things.

Tell me it's not true.

The person who sent those men to the factory.

They say it's you.

That's just a ridiculous rumor, right?

Right?

It's true.

I ordered that.

Why?

I knew you would find out someday.

It happened sooner than I thought.

Why on earth?

For what reason did you do such a thing?

- Calm down, Soon Jung. - Many people are hurt.

Many people lost hope because of that.

Do you even realize what you've done?

It was bound to happen.

What?

Someone would have done that anyway even if it wasn't me!

Joon Hee.

Why have you changed so much?

You have to change in order to survive in this world.

It's best if the factory people go find another job soon.

- Joon Hee! - This company is hopeless anyway.

It's going to be sold soon.

It's best to accept the reality and find a different way to make a living!

But the factory people won't accept that!

That's why you punished them with iron fists?

They're putting their everything into it, to survive!

- Soon Jung! - Joon Hee!

You're making me scared of you.

I thought I knew you very well.

I think I've misunderstood you.

Please don't say that, Soon Jung.

I can't endure it if you do that to me.

Out of all people, I hope you can understand me.

You shouldn't ask me to understand you on something like this.

Chairman Lee.

I'll thoroughly prepare for the board meeting and your appointment ceremony

because that's my work. However!

Honestly, I cannot congratulate you. So...

Don't expect that from me.

Chairman Lee.

You came back to life from the brink of death.

If you were given a second chance, couldn't you lead a different life?

People like you, who aren't even humans, worse than humans,

don't treat us like humans.

That's why we're going to any lengths, just to live like humans.

This heart is you, and your brain is also you.

You decide what kind of Kang Min Ho you want live as.

Woo Shik.

- Turn the car around. - What?

You can't. The chairman is waiting. Where do you want to go?

I can't believe this.

I went to a fortune teller to pick a good day for your ceremony.

It's going to be an auspicious day!

- It's so auspicious... - Hello!

You didn't need to come out to greet me!

Director Kang, why are you here?

What do you mean? It's the board meeting.

I came to cast my precious vote.

I see.

I thought you'd miss the meeting today.

You had plans with the chairman of Gold Partners...

Yes, I ditched that meeting.

What are you trying to do?

You'll find out at the meeting.

Okay?

Okay.

- It's okay. - Huh?

Darn it!

Where should I sit?

Oh... please, this way.

I see.

Are you taking the meeting minutes?

Thank you.

Since the quorum is met, we'll begin the meeting.

First of all...

we will vote on the new CEO appointment.

As for candidates...

Director Lee Joon Hee has been the only candidate so far.

Please say a few words, Mr. Lee.

I ask you to make a wise decision towards Hermia's success.

Just out of courtesy, is there any other candidate you would like to suggest?

Great. Since there is no other candidate, we'll vote now...

Hold on, please.

Yes?

I would like to add one more candidate.

I would like to run for the CEO position as well.

Did I hear that correctly?

Why? Is there any reason I can't?

It's not that.

Look, Director Kang.

Are you intimidated? Are you afraid you'll lose?

Of course not.

I just can't figure out what your intention is.

My intention?

I'm going to revive this company.

Congratulations. You've gone crazy.

I think I've gone crazy too.

After seeing such awful things at the central factory yesterday

I went totally crazy, you see.

Fair enough. Let's do it.

However, you are here temporarily, like a migratory bird.

Who here would vote for someone like you?

Who said we would vote now?

What do you mean?

That's a proposal to the shareholders.

The agenda is CEO election.

You're not...

Bingo!

I bought all of my uncle's shares that were held by banks for collateral.

In other words

I am the majority shareholder of this company!

Director Kang! Why on earth did you do that?

If this company goes bankrupt

all of your stocks will be canceled. You won't be able to save a penny!

It hasn't gone bankrupt yet.

Creditors can't do anything until the company actually goes bankrupt.

Myself and you.

You and I.

Let's battle it out for the CEO position, at the annual shareholders' meeting.

What's the reason you're doing this?

I don't know why I have to live the way I used to.

There's no happy medium in life.

And you can't have everything you want in life.

So I've decided my path.

No matter what...

I will revive this company.

Why a sudden change of heart now?

Thanks to you, I realized something yesterday.

There are things that I have to protect on my own.

Things that you have to protect?

This company and Kim Soon Jung.

What the heck are you up to?

Nothing good.

I won't let you have this company or Kim Soon Jung.

So... make sure you don't skip your meals.

You have a long fight ahead of you.

Director Kang.

Don't say anything.

Thank you very much.

It's all your fault.

I told you, everything goes wrong when I'm with you.

What will you do now?

Now my life is messed up.

Honestly, I'm afraid.

I'm scared to face what's ahead of me.

I wonder how my father could manage it.

I feel heavy-laden...

and so very scared.

I told you.

I will protect you.

I will help you with all my strength.

Until you can become a good leader like your father

I will cheer you on by your side.

I will help you.

I'm asking this because my heart has been aching all day.

Let me lean on you for a minute.

Since you're in my arms...

can you pat me on the back?

Please, Chairman Lee.

Call Director Han immediately and schedule a meeting.

You should calm down first.

How can I calm down right now?

You still don't get it?

James Kang is after this title

the person who wants revenge on his father's traitors!

That very man is trying to become the CEO!

If you want to keep your position, do what I said.

Right now!

Yes, sir.

It must be cumbersome. You don't need to take me home.

I was just thinking that!

That's why you should rest at home for three days.

Pardon?

You said you'd help me from now on.

You should rest up and recover.

- But... - That's an order.

Rest.

Understood.

And I'm sorry.

You got hurt because of me. I'm sorry.

You bought me a seat in business class!

I'll have a good trip.

Before I leave, tell me why you did that.

What is it that made you change?

My heart.

And Kim Soon Jung.

I was afraid to start leading a different life than I used to.

But I think I found some courage.

Gosh. You're insane. What an idiot.

- I'm sorry. - You shouldn't have done that.

Woo Shik, why don't you go to America

- and wait for me. - No!

I will finish up things here and go back.

You just tore up my plane ticket!

Oh, man.

Okay.

I'll stay here with you.

You want to do that?

I don't have a plane ticket, anyway.

Let's try to live a normal life!

A normal life?

You should make friends like normal people do.

And go on a date with Soon Jung.

Go on a date?

I'm too busy working. I have no time to be in love.

You're wrong.

'You're too busy being in love with someone, there's no time for work.'

As for me, the ultimate purpose of the human race is

to meet someone you love and live happily with that person.

That's my thought.

- But... - Don't say 'but'!

You and Soon Jung are on the same side now.

There's no reason not to be in love.

Why did you tear up the ticket? You could get a refund!

There's no reason... not to be in love?

I need to sleep.

Hello?

I... heard the news.

Are you okay?

Why would I not be okay?

It's just taking a little longer.

I'll be elected as the new CEO officially and legally by the end of the month.

Is that right?

I just worried that you might be stressed out.

I'm good as long as you're okay.

You should rest.

Oh!

Mr. Ma!

Soon Jung, how are you feeling?

I don't feel dizzy anymore.

I'm sorry I made you worry.

Don't say that.

Is today your last day off?

Come to the factory.

You left your purse here.

Did you find it?

Yes, I found it.

Come over quickly!

I spent your ten thousand won that was in your wallet.

You can spend more than that.

I have something to tell you anyway.

I'll be there soon.

Is that what you got for her? Lollipops?

What about it? I'm giving her my favorite thing!

You should give her what she likes! You'll be beaten with that thing.

- That was good. - I'm eloquent.

Obviously, you've never been in a relationship.

Today is her last day off. So don't call me.

I got it.

Hello? Yes, speaking.

What did you say? Hold on. I'll call you again.

Director Kang!

I told you not to look for me.

We found him!

- Found what? - It's not that...

I found the family of your heart donor!

I found him!

Mr. Ma!

Soon Jung!

- Are you done for the day? - Yes.

Coincidentally, he lives in Icheon. His name is Ma Tae Seok.

You received his son's heart.

You can never tell him who you are.

Just watch him from a distance, or disguise yourself.

You have to be very careful! Very careful!

Director Kang!

Director Kang!

What brings you here?

Why are you here?

How...

What are you doing outside my house?

Your house?

That's right. This is my house.

[Ma Tae Seok]
