Stay back!

What are you doing?

Stay back!

I'll throw it if you get any closer!

Anyway, there is no other way but this.

That I've loved you...

What did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong?!

Mi Ran. Let's go outside. Let's talk outside.

Let's die together! Die with me! Let's just die together!

What are you doing?

You guys are crazy!

Get out of here right now!

Get out!

Ah! Oh my! Good heavens!

You don't do any work except eating.

How can you get sick?

I get sick because I have nothing to do but eat.

I'm sore all over due to a cold but you don't even look after me, you just sneer at me.

Call a masseuse if you're sore all over.

Honey... honey, I don't need anything else.

Ah, it's hot. I have a fever.

Give me some money.

Just three big bills!

You must be really sick... you're talking crazy.

What for?

I'm going to eat it! Never mind!

Who's there? Chairman Yoon is here.

I heard Jeong Min knew as well.

If you had known, you wouldn't have approved of their marriage.

I don't think you'll take Se Hoon's ex-wife as your daughter-in-law.

If you do, I'll never see you again.

Of course I won't. You know me better than that!

Mi Ran isn't herself now... she's barely breathing. She looks like a zombie.

You must understand me as a father!

I can't just watch her destroy herself like that...

I'm going to teach Jang Se Hoon a lesson!

I'll take care of the money right away.

Please buy up all the shares of his American company!

You should act quickly!

I've known you for 30 years. I can certainly do this for you!

You're good at everything!

Any man could do this.

I know any man could do that, but most men don't help around the house.

My husband didn't even lift a finger to help around the house either.

Have a seat!

Ji Eun is so lucky to have a perfect husband like you.

Keep loving and caring for her as you do right now.

And your watch for a wedding gift... what brand do you want?

I'm just happy with Ji Eun. I don't need anything.

No, it can't be like that. I can't do much but I want to get you a watch at least.

Excuse me, Mother.

Yes?

Where are you?

Come home right now!

Is something wrong?

You look so worried since you talked to your father on the phone!

Do I? I think he has to talk to me urgently about work.

Just believe me.

If you're my woman,

can't you just believe what I say from now on?

All right.

I will...

I love you more than ever.

You can't stray more than three meters from me, OK?

I know... I tried to hide from you but you found me.

It's late. I'm afraid your father is waiting.

What will you do if your father scolds you for being late?

I'm not afraid of anything,

as long as you're with me.

Are you crazy?

How could you fall for a woman who used to live with Se Hoon?

Don't you have even a bit of pride?

Don't you feel bothered about it at all?

I don't care about the past.

I'm not perfect or honorable either.

You idiot! What's wrong with you?

Listen! A woman isn't everything!

What do you mean?

She's everything to me.

Did you forget our deal?

Are you threatening your own father?

You punk! Do you think I approved of your marriage because I was scared of you?

Do you think I listened to you just because you covered up my mistakes?

You punk! Even though I don't want to see you anymore, you're my only child.

I couldn't bear to cut off you and I didn't want your deceased mom to blame me later. That's why I approved it!

You should know that!

By chance, did they plan everything in the first place—

This is a pure coincidence.

It's hard to believe but I checked it out and believe me... they didn't plan anything.

OK.

Chairman, all the lies start when you believe someone.

Ji Eun trusts me.

You don't need to worry.

I'll take care of everything.

You just sit back and watch.

I remember Chairman Lee Sang Bum was talking about you once a long time ago.

He told me his daughter was falling for some poor student so hard that she was out of her mind.

No man is good enough for his daughter.

How ever clever the man is and how ever nice he is to his daughter,

he still feels that his daughter has found the worst man in the world.

Besides, he couldn't like you when he saw you.

Because you reminded him too much of himself in the past when he was young and poor.

Even if you make a big mistake, there must be some reason.

The woman who came earlier... if you can't avoid her, just accept her.

I just can't handle her.

You must still have feelings for Chairman Lee Sang Bum's daughter.

No. I've already forgotten about her.

If you've really forgotten her, I have nothing to say.

I'm sorry for sticking my nose into your personal affairs.

But you know what?

Everything has its own place. Whether it's a thing or a person.

If you let her be in the right place, I'm sure you'll find your right place as well.

I was wrong. I won't do it again.

I'll change. I'll be different.

Please forgive me. Please.

There's nothing in the world that can't be forgiven.

You just don't want to.

When she was in the wheelchair, did you stay with her out of responsibility or out of love?

Congratulations!

You're getting married?

I'm getting married!

You punk! Do you think I approved of your marriage because I was scared of you?

Do you think I listened to you just because you covered up my mistakes?

I'm not afraid of anything,

as long as you're with me.

Are you OK?

Get up and eat something.

Mi Ran.

What are you so lacking that you're like a zombie because of him?

Please snap out of it!

Your father won't let him get away so easily.

Even if I have to grab him by the throat and drag him here, I'll make him get down on his knees in front of you.

You don't need to... It's all useless...

I just want to die... I wish I could just die...

Can I get in?

Oh! Did you know I was behind you?

You came early today!

Can't you see yet why I left you?

I can't handle a woman, Yoon Mi Ran. I really can't handle you.

I just want to get away from you... who strangle me and suffocate me.

I'll wait... I'll wait... I'll stay still like the dead until you come back to me.

I won't go back to you even if you wait.

There's not even a 1% possibility of a relationship between you and me.

Accept it! We're finished.

We're finished?

Right. I guess we're finished. We're probably done.

When you say we're done, what can I do?

I'm tired... I don't have the energy to cling to you anymore...

Considering our financial status and market conditions,

I believe we have enough financial ability.

If necessary, we can invest in technological development.

Therefore I'm thinking of starting the mp3 player development project that President Jang suggested.

But at the last meeting—

Yes, I was against his idea.

Of course I'm still worried about the risk but after reviewing the suggested new projects,

I realized it could be the most promising and lucrative of the new projects.

Of course, deciding to trust President Jang contributed greatly to this decision.

I wouldn't refuse it even if you decided to support the project now.

Vice President Seo! Come to my office.

What are you doing?

I'm willing to do worse than this!

Do you think I'll just leave you alone?

You ruined my daughter's life. I'll ruin yours!

I'll teach you that things won't go as you planned!

I am the Chairman's son. Do you think I would do anything that might lose money?

My decision is based solely on the project's estimated profit.

I'm sure he'll succeed in developing the new technology.

It won't be late if we get rid of him at that time.

Seolin can benefit from the advanced technology, and all you have to do is to count the money that you like.

And then I'll never have to see him again, so it's good for me too.

OK. I'll trust you.

I'd better go.

Jeong Min.

Nothing! Never mind.

I came here to have a cup of tea.

What do you want?

My father found out about your past relationship with Ji Eun.

What should we do?

Is this the reason you opted for my idea?

On the condition that I leave Seolin?

Sure!

Otherwise I wouldn't have any reason to approve your idea.

Vice President Seo.

Calm down and listen to me.

If you were in my position,

do you think you could be cool enough to separate your personal life from your work life?

Is it possible for me to get along with you at work by seeing you personally,

and to growl ironically at home, getting mad at you for being my wife's ex?

Do you think it's possible?

I'm not as good a person as you are so I can't!

I tried to be cool, but I'm too narrow-minded for that.

Don't blame me for not being a kinder person.

You're too frank. I don't know what to say!

I know I shouldn't force you.

But for everyone's sake, don't you think resigning is the best solution?

Of course, I'll give you time to think it over.

It's awkward to see you studying.

It's tiring to see the two of you together all the time.

Anyway, why are you studying English?

I'm pretty good at English. Test me. Ask something difficult.

OK. What does "talking out of your ass" mean?

"Talking out of your ass"... That's a hard one!

You mean "farting"? OK! Next question!

I'm really dumbfounded and speechless.

Are you really going to study abroad?

Abroad? Are you really going, Yeong Eun?

Are you sad to hear I might leave?

Then why don't you go out with me for just three months, Lawyer Ajusshi?

We can talk about many things.

Get off! Get back on your chair!

Right! That's a good idea!

You can be a couple! Just right!

There's only 12 years difference! Marriage is a kind of investment.

This is win-win situation.

Hey! You can't even go one day without begging me to hit you?

- Why do you keep hitting me? - I!

Seeing people who think marriage is a kind of business infuriates me!

Understand?

I'm leaving.

For your reference, I'm a lawyer.

Scary! Do you really like that old man?

You know they always say that a snob gets a better looking partner.

What are you doing?

I'm willing to do worse than this!

You ruined my daughter's life. I'll ruin yours!

I'll show you that things won't go as you've planned!

Shin Yeong Textiles' financial situation was strong enough to avoid bankruptcy at that time.

Since they had abundant liquidity, if someone redeemed the note early, they could've paid it and avoided bankruptcy.

Why did you decline the note?

Their sales were increasing, but the interest on their debt service was enormous.

From our bank's point of view, Shin Yeong couldn't avoid bankruptcy.

Their financial situation was tight, but they could have avoided bankruptcy with the bank's help, don't you think?

Look. What on earth do you want to say?

It wouldn't help anybody if we kept helping a company that was bound to go bankrupt!

It was better to hand it over to a new owner quickly so their employees wouldn't lose their jobs!

Some might find that argument convincing.

You young fellow! You're too rude!

I came here considering the relationship with Chairman Lee Sang Bum since you said you knew him very well.

But you're talking nonsense!

I apologize if I've hurt your feelings.

I don't think we need to sit here and talk anymore since our viewpoints are different.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule.

Excuse me.

That fellow knows all the details about Shin Yeong Textiles' financial situation at that time.

He's a tough one.

What else did he ask, Bank Manager?

That was it. He said he didn't need to sit and talk anymore since our viewpoints were different.

Vice President Seo, don't worry about him.

I made it look like the bank didn't have any choice but to let them go bankrupt.

- Is the Chairman doing well? - Yes.

Yes. Please don't say anything to our Chairman... Yes.

From our bank's point of view, Shin Yeong couldn't avoid bankruptcy.

It wouldn't help anybody if we kept helping a company that was bound to go bankrupt!

It was better to hand it over to a new owner quickly so their employees wouldn't lose their jobs!

It's possible enough for Seolin to take over the bankrupt Shin Yeong.

They competed with each other for first or second place.

There's nothing wrong with taking it over.

You've become too emotional and exaggerate everything. It's because of your feelings of pity for Ji Eun.

It's the truth or it looks like the truth...

The truth or looks like the truth... What's difference between the two? How should I solve this?

Is it a coincidence?

Or an inevitability pretending to be a coincidence?

I mean us... you and me.

Why did we run into each other?

Why did fate let us meet again?

Should I tell you... why fate let us meet again?

I think regretting is a part of life.

We can't go back in time, but we still have memories.

But we hurt each other too much.

Probably, we've been given another chance to shed our bad memories... and keep only good ones.

We feel like lovers and strangers at the same time.

But is it OK to stand here with you?

Se Hoon.

If someone wants you badly, it's a beautiful thing to be with that person as he or she wants.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Are you thinking "why didn't you grow up sooner"?

I was only 20 at that time.

I didn't know anything.

It was very natural that I didn't know anything somehow.

Right... We met too soon.

Who can we blame?

There is probably something we can't do anything about with our own powers.

Right... There are just things you can't do anything about with your own powers.

♫ I don't think it will be so easy ♫

Ji Eun. ♫ I don't think it will be so easy ♫

It looks like I have been dreaming in the meantime.

I've been both excited and terribly hurt for the last 10 years...

Right. Maybe I didn't want to wake up from this dream.

♫ I think I loved you too much ♫

♫ I will regret that as much as I long to see you ♫

But I think it's time to wake up. ♫ If we meet again while I'm still alive ♫

Everyone will be more comfortable when I leave. ♫ The painful tears will flow for all the time I wasn't able to see you ♫

Of course, including myself...

My friend Nam Bok Ja came.

How are you drinking in a place like this? What happened to you, stingy woman, Lee Ji Eun?

Nam Bok Ja. Don't you remember I was originally an orange (a spoiled rich girl)?

Right. Sorry. I forgot you used to be an orange.

Indeed, I don't even remember when I used to be like that.

Is something wrong?

There's something... Something.

Bok Ja, I really feel bad today... I feel terrible today!

What's up?

I acted like a grown-up and showed off in front of Se Hoon.

I pretended to be nice too.

I thought I had to... So he wouldn't feel bad about me.

By the way, I did good things but I don't feel good at all.

I don't understand why I thought I should be nice.

Am I funny?

Yeah, you're funny.

You still love Jang Se Hoon, don't you?

Love? What's that?

What about Jeong Min?

Do I look like a bitch because I just cared about Se Hoon?

Yeah, I'm a bitch.

I'm going to marry Jeong Min soon but I'm still talking about my ex.

But I'm not sorry about it to Jeong Min, either.

Because I'm going to love him.

I'm going to love Seo Jeong Min a lot.

I lived with a guy that my father despised terribly.

Now I have to live with a guy that my mom is crazy about.

We'll be so happy together.

Bok Ja, I want to be happy.

I should be happy, really.

So when I meet my dad later, I want to tell him I've been so happy.

I really want to tell him that.

Don't preach.

OK... drink.

If drinking makes you feel better, let's drink.

I hear the music and you seem to have a twisted tongue. I'm very suspicious.

OK... Have fun with Bok Ja.

I have to work hard.

So I can support you, Ji Eun.

You know you eat a lot.

OK!

See you tomorrow.

Am I the only happy one here? Are you happy as well?

I forgot my goodnight kiss. Bye!

♫ Like dove wings flying in the blue sky ♫

♫ Our hearts fly to the sky ♫

♫ Each of us smiling ♫

♫ Let's live dreaming of our tomorrow ♫

♫ Oh, my eternal friend. Oh, our happy hearts. ♫

♫ Oh, our joyful life, yeah! ♫

♫ My friendly person, have you forgotten about me? ♫

♫ Have you forgotten about me already? ♫

♫ Leaving me longing for you and forgetting about me? ♫

♫ Have you forgotten about me already? ♫

♫ Who are you in love with now? ♫

♫ Has our steadfast promise been tarnished? ♫

♫ Though we loved each other before ♫

♫ Has your heart changed now? ♫

♫ Ah, is a goodbye that easy? ♫

♫ Because time has passed, you've forgotten about me ♫

♫ and are going far away? ♫

♫ Ah, I didn't know your heart could change ♫

♫ I really didn't know ♫

♫ Oh, I lived believing only you. ♫

♫ I believed in you ♫

♫ What do I do when I miss you? ♫

What's going on at this late hour?

I decided to leave Seolin.

You made up your mind sooner than I expected.

To be honest, I'm shocked.

I thought you wouldn't accept it.

Sometimes giving up is much harder than sticking with something.

You're great as I expected.

Deciding to leave Seolin is just the best choice I can take from my situation.

You're willing to disappear for everyone.

And all I have to do is start a brand new day.

It takes some skill to be sarcastic.

I'm a funny fellow.

I know it very well. I'm acting twisted to hide my guilty conscience.

Just understand me.

Do you still have something to tell me?

Or are you going to leave after hearing me saying "thank you"?

President Jang.

I'm sorry to make you come here.

By any chance, did you do that?

Right... I didn't think you did that.

But I think you should know. Se Hoon is leaving Seolin.

No. To be precise, he was forced to leave empty-handed.

What... are you saying?

I mean Seo Jeong Min pushed Se Hoon away to live with you happily.

OK... I know things got complicated even though you didn't do anything.

Of course it'll be easy and happy for the two of you if Se Hoon goes away.

But what about Se Hoon?

Why do you expect him to sacrifice himself for your happiness?

It's not right to push him away just for your comfort!

Do you know him?

No. He reminds me of me when I was younger.

But you became successful in the end.

Successful?

Well... The only person I could rely on was myself.

I know you're an honest and competent man.

I never thought I was more honest or smarter than other people.

I didn't have anything, and the only valuable assets I had were my principles and my pride.

I had to be tough to survive.

If I were born into a rich family like you,

I might not have tried so hard to be successful.

There's some irony for you. I'm trying to be like you,

but you sound like you want to live like I used to.

Be sure to make this project successful.

For Ji Eun and me... and for yourself.

The fact that you're being taken advantage of means you're competent.

Let me give you one piece of advice.

If you want to beat someone, don't be emotional.

And you should maintain your own speed in everything, not someone else's.

I'm sure you'll be an excellent company owner.

I'll promise you one thing.

You were Ji Eun's first man, but I'll be her best man.

Don't worry about Ji Eun.

Lee Ji Eun.

What's up?

Now?

OK...

Why did you do that?

Why did you say you're leaving?

Why are you giving up what you have for me?

I'm OK.

I'm not! I'm not OK.

You want me to look like a bitch right up to the last moment?

Do you want me to feel miserable?

What do you want me to do?

That's not it. You don't need to do anything.

Ji Eun, this isn't only for you.

It might be for my own good.

Don't try too hard for me.

Don't worry about my happiness.

Don't love someone that doesn't look back at you.

OK, I won't... if you don't want, I won't...

Jeong Min. I sent you something really interesting.

Check your e-mail.

Don't cry. It brings bad luck...

You've gone through too much for me...

You're going to give up too much for me.
