Original subtitles

I think I heard vaguely that my name would be on the board of directors list. Why?

I just want to know about the company's situation after your father's death.

Why? Why do you want to know?

Don't say a word.

Let go of her hand!

Can't you hear me saying to let go?

You... don't deserve Lee Ji Eun.

I can't give Ji Eun to an undisciplined person like you!

Jang Se Hoon. Who do you think you are to give her or not?

Do I need your permission to have Lee Ji Eun?

Yes, you do!

Because I've loved her more and longer than you have.

I have the right to say that.

You've loved her more and longer than I have?

So what? So what are you going to do?

Seo Jeong Min. Stop getting on my nerves.

Let go of his hand.

You have no right to do that. Let go of him now.

And please stay out of my business.

The phoenix is an imaginary bird that lives in the Arabian Desert.

Vehement and passionate love like a phoenix!

Maybe what the artist was trying to say about love was

that it's about self-sacrifice rather than passion.

Let go of his hand.

You have no right to do that.

Let go of him now.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful woman.

One day she met an average guy and fell in love with him.

That stupid and cowardly guy was sending a kiss to the lovely and brave woman.

Please stay out of my business.

I can always feel you even though you're not around me.

Do you know how much I love you?

What's wrong with loving you?

I don't want to live without you.

I would rather die together.

Let's die together if things go like this.

That'd be better... let's do that...

Are you OK?

It's late. Go home.

Lee Ji Eun.

Can you give me another chance to love you?

Did you think I really got tired of you?

Did you believe I really changed my mind?

I didn't have any choice...

It hurt my pride.

I was afraid there was still another man in your heart.

You never looked into my eyes and told me you loved me.

I tried to cast a spell on you from the first time I saw you...

"Love me... love me... please love me!"

You didn't know that, did you?

You've done nothing good for me... So will you forgive me?

Who has the right to forgive whom?

I'll be good to you... I'll make up for how I hurt you...

Until I die, no, even if I burn in hell after I die,

you'll be my only love, Lee Ji Eun.

If loving you is a crime, I would rather commit a crime.

I'll pay for my crime of lying to you and him after I die.

What should I do... what should I do with you, Mi Ran?

I finally let him go today.

Dad, why did you hate him so much?

You should've liked him a little bit... if you had... if you had...

I'm sorry! I won't even think of forgetting him anymore...

That thought is also a thought about him... Dad!

Do you like Jeong Min?

Isn't he nice?

Who's there?

Come to the study. I have something to say.

How do you feel?

Would I die when I'm still young?

What do you want to say?

I decided to accept my situation as is.

I'll accept your offer with gratitude.

I'll marry Ji Eun.

Okay, okay. Do so.

Jeong Min.

You're supposed to earn your happiness and overcome your unhappiness.

Marry Ji Eun and—

You're going to live a long life since you have no worries!

What's that?

Are you furious? You only feel despair when you see me?

So do I. I only feel anger and despair whenever I see you.

And one more thing. Get rid of Jang Se Hoon.

Make the best deal when you find the other person's weakness.

That's what you taught me.

Yoon Mi Ran, we're over now.

I did it because I love you.

I lied because I was afraid you would run away from me.

I lied because I didn't want to lose you.

I did it because I love you so much.

I feel secure having you two at my side!

Yes. This is Seo Jeong Min.

Yes. Really?

Please locate the Shin Yeong Textiles board members....

And get the phone number of the bank branch manager

who refused to honor the bill at that time...

OK... I'll be waiting.

Don't you think you're overreacting?

Se Hoon, 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.

Right, there's probably nothing's wrong.

But there's something I feel uneasy about.

If there were something we didn't know about between Ji Eun's father and Chairman Seo—

Even if Chairman Seo had planned everything trickily to take over Shin Yeong,

her father had already died by accident and his company was bound to be taken over by some other company anyhow.

And it's been ten years; it's impossible to find any proof now.

But as long as I don't feel right about it,

I just can't let it go.

I don't start games I can't win.

A game for whom?

You've become too emotional and exaggerate everything.

It's because of your feeling of pity for Ji Eun.

Right, I admit it. I played a part in her father's death.

Maybe that's why I suspect a conspiracy.

But if I'm not just imagining things and it's all true—

Jang Se Hoon, you know what?

You used to be very reasonable and accurate, but you're becoming too emotional.

A businessman should keep his cool.

Please don't be too extreme.

You might lose more than you gain.

President, Vice President Seo is on the phone.

Set it up right here?

This is the best spot for an advertising billboard.

I'd like to recommend a combination of low-voltage neon and LED for the billboard. Team Leader, what do you think?

Let me think about it.

Team Leader, I think it'd be better to use a different concept of content for the billboard ad from a newspaper ad.

OK. If you have an idea, don't hesitate to tell me.

OK. I will do that.

Ji Eun, can you bring me the file? I left it on the rooftop.

- Yes, I will. - Okay.

Don't waste your time because of your personal feelings.

I heard you were asking around about the bankruptcy of Ji Eun's father's company.

I did some research on my part as well.

So what did you find out?

Nothing much. They had too much debt for a new business.

The interest became a big burden for Shin Yeong.

I found out one thing.

If her father hadn't died, it wouldn't have gone bankrupt.

You must know that better than I.

Because you're partly responsible for that accident.

I can throw you off here if I want to!

If I put my mind to it, if I really wanted to, it'd be so simple to get you into trouble.

Are you saying you can manipulate the facts

and make it seem like Seolin was involved in an illegal operation to take over Shin Yeong?

Right. I can do that.

Hey, Jang Se Hoon. You'd better be careful.

You're a brilliant guy.

You know it's the end of everything if you get fired from Seolin.

Don't do anything you'll regret.

Seo Jeong Min!

I've come too far to go back. I won't step back... Never.

Never say "never."

There's something you don't know. The crime will be found. It will be revealed for sure.

Hello. Yeah, it's me.

Buy up the Presidio's J-River stocks.

And fix the price to our advantage.

Yes, I know that.

That's why I'm asking you.

Don't worry. I'll take care of your share.

OK?

Work quietly.

Yes. It's Jang Se Hoon.

One of the Shin Yeong directors passed away last year with a preexisting condition.

I heard the other director emigrated to another country so it's not easy to locate him.

Really? OK... A factory supervisor? Can you get his number?

President, the Chairman wants to see you.

When is the bank branch manager who was involved in Shin Yeong's bankruptcy returning from abroad?

C-Co Tech

I heard a rumor that they would close their business soon due to some financial problems.

They're just having temporary financial problems because of the sudden increase in exports.

It's just a rumor, Chairman.

Buy that company right away. Contact their bank.

What's the problem?

What about taking over the company and retaining their management?

We can offer financial support; it'll be a win-win situation...

What are you talking about?

You should swallow the whole thing if it's lucrative. Why are you only tasting it with your tongue?

That company has a huge potential for growth with some financial help.

C-Co Tech provided us with their company information so Seolin could invest in their company,

not so Seolin would take over their company at a bargain price.

Driving them into bankruptcy by using the information they gave for help is—

This is the business world.

I helped your company out and now you're trying to teach me?

Don't be arrogant around me!

I'll get to the point.

Pretend you don't know anything about Se Hoon and Ji Eun.

Don't say anything to anybody, including the Chairman.

You're an experienced person. I'm not going to show off in front of you.

You're sharp enough to understand what I mean.

This is tougher than I thought.

This is a mean looking fish!

Stop it. Why don't you forget everything and be friends like before?

This is annoying.

I'm much younger and fresher than Unni Bok Ja, so why are you fighting over her?

Hey, aren't you tired of still following Bok Ja around?

And Ajusshi! Why are you trying to take someone else's love?

I didn't do anything.

To be exact, Yeo Jin is the one in love with her.

Bok Ja is not.

Are you saying she likes you as well?

I can't say that since she didn't answer me.

I'll make everything clear.

Let's say this is Bok Ja, this is Yeo Jin, this is you, and this is me.

Who's this?

That's just a cigarette.

Yeo Jin keeps following Bok Ja around. See? A bottle and a glass go together.

It's a good match.

What's that? What about me?

Lawyer Ajusshi. You have me.

♫ ​In the dark sky, the glittering glow of the stars tells me ♫

♫ That if I do not do it now, I can never do it. ♫

♫ The yellow stars caress me and shout your name ♫

♫ In silence, the hidden memories awaken me ♫

♫ When you have never needed anyone. ♫

♫ And I've just tried to be the man you need. ♫

♫ Now love and hate, I have sent them far away ♫

♫ The yellow stars caress me and shout your name ♫

♫ In silence, the hidden memories awaken me ♫

I'll pay for lying to him and you even after I die... ♫ In silence, the hidden memories awaken me ♫

♫ When you have never needed anyone. ♫

♫ And I've just tried to be the man you need. ♫

♫ In silence, the hidden memories awaken me ♫

Jeong Min.

Why didn't you wake me up?

You were sleeping deeply so I couldn't wake you up.

What's that?

Do you think this cactus was thrown away because it was rotten or it got rotten because it was thrown away?

Well, it really doesn't matter what happened first since it's already been thrown away!

Jeong Min.

I overheard Se Hoon and you earlier today on the roof.

I'm sorry... it's my fault.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Seolin taking over my dad's company.

It happens all the time in business.

Right... it was a coincidence that could happen all the time.

I was dumbfounded and didn't deal with Jang Se Hoon when he cornered me.

You've been through so many things because of me...

So... it scares me...

I'm not going to say anything else... but just remember this.

Without Lee Ji Eun, I'm nothing...

I think someone in heaven is helping us.

I wish it would rain.

Then I would be able to have a good cry, using the rain as an excuse to hold you.

What? Do you want to say something?

Why did you ask that out of the blue?

Oh... no reason.

Your dad had some financial problems at that time.

The bank took our land, buildings, and everything we had, and at the end he even took out a private loan...

Still, luckily, when I gave up all the stock, Director Park brought me several tens of millions of won...

That's how we managed to lease a place like this, with that money.

Let's stop the depressing talk about it.

Good night.

Why isn't Jeong Min coming home these days?

I'm going to his house tomorrow. His father invited me to lunch...

Really? Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Where are you going?

Just wait... you can't just visit empty-handed.

Sorry for calling at this late hour.

This is Jang Se Hoon. Can I talk to Dr. Ahn?

Well it's hard to diagnose correctly without seeing the patient.

But from your description it sounds more like borderline personality disorder than schizophrenia.

Borderline personality disorder?

It's different from schizophrenia.

A schizophrenic can't lead a normal life since the patient doesn't have the proper perception of reality.

For example, they may think a tree is a ghost, or put a flower in their hair.

People usually say people like that are "crazy."

But borderline personality disorder doesn't interfere with everyday life.

In particular, when the patient doesn't get the affection or attention they expect,

the disorder is expressed as sudden rage or blame.

Don't go.

And they threaten other people or hurt themselves.

The interesting thing is they don't really want to kill themselves.

This is just to draw other people's attention.

What should I do?

They usually know other people are generally nice and take advantage of them.

There's medicine but it's not very effective.

You mean there's no solution?

It sounds cruel but there isn't.

The only thing you can do is stay away from her.

But she's sick because of me...

These people show the same obsession to anybody even if the partner is changed.

The person held is a victim, not responsible.

Borderline personality disorder patients themselves are the problem.

If you take a pity on her she'll ruin your life.

"Schizophrenia" "Psychopathology"

Please treat her with your heart at least today.

I want my father to realize what shame is...

This is the last favor your son will ever ask of you.

People will love to talk about us, won't they?

A step mother-in-law and her divorced daughter-in-law!

You and I look like a good match.

By the way, how long did you live with your ex? No kids?

You have a hidden kid, don't you?

There's no child.

Really? If you say so, I should believe that.

Did I hurt your feelings?

Why are you looking at me like that?

I know you aren't satisfied with me as Jeong Min's wife.

But I'll do my best.

I'll be nice to his father and Jeong Min with all my heart.

What about me? What about me?

Hey! Are you ignoring me because I'm his stepmom?

That's not it, Mother. Of course I'll be nice to you.

Instead of just saying it, show me with your action.

Ji Eun, aren't you hot? I'll turn on the air conditioner... It's hot...

If she's mean to you, tell me right away.

Please don't hold a grudge over my meanness to you.

I apologize for hurting your feelings.

No, Chairman. I've never held a grudge.

And call me "Father" at home from now on.

Honey, you're not going to let them live here, are you?

We're not going to live here even if you beg us to.

Move out and live. And quit your job as well.

It doesn't look good to other people that a daughter-in-law is working at the same company.

But after I finish the project I'm working on—

You have to live as Seolin's daughter-in-law, not as Lee Ji Eun from now on.

You can tell a good woman by three things.

Her cooking, her clothes, and her husband!

And women make those three things themselves.

Your cooking and clothes look fine.

Work on your husband now.

Yes...

He started as a factory worker at the beginning of Shin Yeong Textiles and became a supervisor later.

He knows the company's founder, Ji Eun's maternal grandfather, well and got along with Chairman Lee Sang Bum.

He got a job offer from Seolin when they merged, but he refused it.

He retired long ago, and he wasn't in management.

Can he be helpful?

♫ Are you the same? Are you suffering like me? ♫

♫ You've been the same, will you tell me? ♫

♫ How hard has my life been? How hard have I tried to forget you? ♫

♫ If you are also like me, you will understand. ♫

Hi, is there anyone home?

It doesn't seem like so long ago, but time flies.

It's been 10 years since I stopped working at Shin Yeong Textiles.

I don't remember much.

But what do you want to know?

I want to hear exactly what happened when Shin Yeong Textiles went bankrupt.

You're not old enough to look back...

Why do you want to know what happened in the past?

This is very important, and it could change someone's life.

Listen, young fellow.

Some people commit a crime but they become better off.

Some people do nice things but they lose everything.

Do you know why?

According to an old book,

before the fruit of sin ripens even bad people can get lucky

but after the fruit of sin ripens, they'll be punished....

Before the fruit of virtue ripens, even the good people can be unlucky

but after the fruit of virtue ripens, they'll be blessed.

Do you mean I have to wait until the right time comes?

Elder, when Shin Yeong Textiles went bankrupt, Seolin Textile—

Friend, you're not listening to me.

There're things you can never hide.

Don't waste your time because of your personal feelings.

They invested too much money in the new project.

The interest became a huge burden to Shin Yeong.

There are things you can never hide.

Don't push him around too much. He's still useful.

He's done all the dirty work.

There's money you can't put on the books in a business.

You should swallow the whole thing if it's lucrative. Why are you only tasting it with your tongue?

Some people commit a crime but they become better off.

Some people do nice things but they lose everything.

Do you want to listen?

Did I look cool?

Yeah.

Are you going to live with me?

Yes... Let's live together.
