Let me go.

(Voice recording)

She was recording the conversation, ma'am.

I knew you were onto something the moment you started coming at me.

Delete it.

No!

No!

(Delete)

(There are no recording files.)

If you say anything to anyone,

your sister will be the one to get punished.

I'll release an article...

that will make her want to die instead,

and people will write hate comments. If that's what you want for her,

you can go ahead and come at me.

Let's go.

I told you not to worry about me.

I'm not as weak as you think I am.

Please do me a favor and just stay still.

Are you telling me...

to watch her get everything her way?

So Dam, my mom, and I had to go through so much...

because of that woman.

But instead of showing any signs of guilt,

she even put on a show and pretended to fall down the stairs.

So how do you expect me to stay still right now?

I'll do it.

After what happened to my mom,

I hated myself the most.

I felt so pathetic for having made the situation...

come this far by letting myself get controlled by that evil witch.

And every time I looked at So Dam,

I felt so sorry because it felt like I was the one...

who made her do what she did.

If I don't do anything and something bad happens to you,

I think I'll end up hating myself more than Ms. Hong.

So how can you tell me to stay still?

I'll try to meet her.

I know she's someone who made you go through so much...

and that she's unforgivable.

But to me, she's also Se Hyun's mother.

I tried to bear with her because of the exact same reason.

But that's exactly what led the situation to get worse.

Can you give me a chance to try and handle things...

my way?

Sir, you look a lot healthier. I'm so relieved.

What's the use of an old man being healthy?

He barely ate any breakfast.

Okay, I'll have something ready.

When are we going to tell Seo Jun...

about the medicine that's being developed?

He needs to know in order to cheer up.

Not yet, sir.

I feel anxious just by watching the process.

I can't let Seo Jun go through the same thing.

Let's tell him a little later, sir.

Okay.

Well, is the research going well?

They told me that they gathered a team of researchers,

so I wired them an extra amount of research expenses.

- If you'd like to check... - No, no.

It's fine.

Se Hyun's currently working...

as the acting chairman at the company.

The thing is, I think he needs more authority...

because he's quite young for the position.

So I was wondering...

if he could hold executive meetings in your office.

Why do you bother asking me that kind of stuff?

You can take care of that stuff on your own terms.

Okay, sir.

What happened?

Se Hyun, that scumbag,

made a complete fool out of us.

What?

Chairman Hong Se Hyun...

canceled the executive meeting so he could have...

separate meetings in the chairman's office.

Who says he's the chairman?

But isn't he just the acting chairman...

until my dad comes back?

That's just a lie.

He's completely making a mess of the company.

My dad was hospitalized, so I get why he didn't know.

But how could you not know about it either?

Your dad keeps taking Ms. Hong's side,

saying she reported everything to him.

There's nothing I can do.

They'll take over everything at this rate.

Or even worse, they might already have everything.

The only reason they're running wild...

is because they're confident about something.

Gosh, Hong Baek Hee, that darn witch.

I always insisted that he should fire her,

but he never listened to me.

Gosh, darn it!

Let's postpone the separation of the management department.

Meanwhile, Mr. Park, you can be in charge of preparing...

for the shareholders' meeting.

Yes, sir.

He's in the middle of a meeting.

Sir, please.

- You two can go now. - Okay.

Okay, sir.

Sit down, Executive Director Choi.

I went to the executive meeting,

and the meeting room was empty.

Didn't you get the message?

I sent out a notification saying I'll be holding...

separate meetings for a while.

What do you think you're doing?

If you have a problem, talk about it at the next board meeting.

The chairman never called for a board meeting,

so how was anything valid?

That depends on the rules.

When it comes to our company, board meetings can be held...

when more than 50 percent of the board members vote for it.

If you were going to be so dissatisfied about it,

you should've attended the board meeting.

Why are you suddenly saying this to me now?

Did you forget that Ms. Hong has control over everyone in our family?

Then why won't you stay still and keep things that way?

Are you crazy, Se Hyun?

How can you go so crazy?

I abandoned you because I wanted to become the chairman,

and you abandoned me because of a woman.

- We can call it even now. - Se Hyun.

We're no longer friends anymore. Stop calling me by my name!

Do you not care at all even after hearing about...

what your mom did to So Yu?

It's only one side of the story. Don't make rash judgements.

There might be more to your mom than what meets the eye.

What do you know about my mom to talk about her like that?

You're only acting like this because of what So Yu told you.

- Am I wrong? - Yes, you're wrong.

Really?

Do you have proof?

I trust that you'll eventually set things straight...

if you're not tainted like your mom.

What an arrogant punk.

So Yu, the display outfits are apparently all sold out.

Set up a new one and send it out.

The box that contains the products is over there.

Okay.

Send out the manual,

and go to a nearby store to take a photo of the display mannequin.

Okay.

(So Yu)

The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.

Please ask Ms. Eun So Yu from the TF Team to come to my office.

Have you gone mad?

The chairman called. Why aren't you going?

The chairman's at the hospital.

What are you doing?

Are you rebelling against the fact...

that Director Hong became the chairman?

I'm about to go to the chairman's office right now.

What am I going to tell him when he asks me...

why you refused to go to his office?

You can tell him exactly what you witnessed.

Are you sure about that?

Yes.

I couldn't believe what she said,

so I even checked if it was really okay to tell you everything.

But she didn't seem to care.

By any chance, is this a lovers' quarrel?

No, that's not it.

What did you want to report to me about?

It's about the contest regarding the collaboration with Woodroffe.

You heard that we're going to manufacture...

the three final designs and ask Woodroffe to choose himself, right?

And I thought we could promote the products before we launch them.

Here.

What are you talking about? So Yu and Se Hyun?

Did you scout me here and try to set me up with Se Hyun...

even when you knew about them?

That's nonsense.

If there's nothing going on between them,

how can an employee refuse to meet the chairman?

This wouldn't be possible if there was nothing going on between them.

Okay, fine. I'll be honest with you.

They grew up in the same neighborhood when they were young.

And when they met again after they grew up,

she must've grown fond of him because he was her first love.

So she became a little clingy with Se Hyun.

How did Se Hyun react to that?

He's such a nice guy,

so he was kind to her and treated her like a sister.

But once So Yu started working...

for Executive Director Choi as his secretary,

she seduced Seo Jun...

and even managed to break off his engagement.

But now that Seo Jun's about to lose the company,

she's probably out of her mind right now.

So she's trying to show that she can't accept Se Hyun...

as the chairman?

What an interesting woman.

There's no need to care about her.

Ms. Kang, do you have any plans for lunch?

No.

Just a second.

Yes, Mom.

Lunch?

I have an appointment.

Then what about dinner?

I just asked Ms. Kang to have lunch with me,

and I don't want to let her down.

What about dinner? You're free then, right?

From what I know, your schedule is free.

Okay, I'll send you the location.

Okay, bye.

You're free for dinner, right?

Yes, dinner sounds better.

Don't you dare touch me.

I might just recant my testimony!

It seems like you're worked up.

Why don't you wait at a cafe with Ms. Yoon?

I told you not to touch me!

I guess I made the right choice to come see you,

seeing that you're shocked and trying to kick me out.

Do you finally feel a little scared?

Should we meet later for dinner?

Yes.

What do you think you're doing?

You must think I'm a pushover...

because I always agree to meet you in secret.

I told you to stay quiet...

until I called you!

Well, you should've done a good job so that I wouldn't call you myself.

I get that I'm the least of your concern right now...

because you're so busy admiring your son who became the chairman.

But you still need to do your part.

After all, I'm the main reason that you got what you wanted.

The main reason?

Are you saying you can't acknowledge that?

Then I guess I have no choice.

I should visit the chairman's office while I'm here.

Move over.

No good will come out of causing a fuss here.

I need you to do one more thing for me.

Do you think I'm your errand girl or something?

I didn't do what I did because of you.

I only helped so that you could destroy Yoon Tae.

Yoon Tae...

isn't completely destroyed yet.

- What? - You know Ko Myung Shim, right?

She's Choi Seo Kyung's aunt.

She's also Yoon Tae's patron.

And as long as he gets support from her, he'll still be around.

So what's your point? What do you want me to do?

I want you to seduce him.

If you manage to split him and Ko Myung Shim apart,

I'll give you twice the original amount.

Seduce him?

I already did that.

(Yukgam Manjok)

He said Chinese people will love it and that he'll sign the contract.

Thank you.

I'm glad that I get the chance...

to spread the taste of our jokbal all the way to China.

Then should we proceed with the deal as we previously mentioned?

Yes.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you. I look forward to working with you.

- Thank you. This way. - We should go now.

Thank you, bye.

Can someone get me a bucket of cold water?

Do you still not understand that you shouldn't provoke me?

You crazy wench.

How dare you show up...

after having caused a mess at the board meeting?

I'm here to help you get to your senses.

Why would you trust Yoon Tae with something so big?

Do you think it's because I like him?

It's because he's Seo Kyung's husband.

He's not good enough to be Seo Kyung's husband either.

It seems like you're here to come between me and Yoon Tae.

But it's going to be useless.

Yoon Tae and I slept together.

What?

His wife had an affair with a golf coach,

and he slept with his ex-wife.

Have you ever seen such a severely broken family?

I don't get why you would risk everything you have on Yoon Tae.

Baek Hee told you to do this, didn't she?

It doesn't matter whom I got orders from.

The fact is that I don't lie.

If you can't believe me, you can ask Yoon Tae.

And call me if you need any photos for evidence.

Hey! Hey!

That... That darn...

I thought about going to Tae Woong's restaurant to see you.

Thank you for not saying anything to your sister.

I was going to stop her...

if she hadn't grown feelings for you yet.

I'll tell her and do my best not to hurt her.

But...

I really can't figure out how I'm supposed to do that.

Do you think she'll accept it if you tell her...

that you guys should break up because of your illness?

You know that my sister never got to do...

anything for herself because of our mom's illness, right?

If she finds out about your illness,

she'll do exactly what she did back then.

Then, instead of living a life...

for her own self, she'll end up spending her entire 20s...

taking care of the sick...

I'm sorry.

(Monte Pizza)

Goodness, why did you make her cry?

Come here.

It's okay.

I let So Dam take care of Eun Byeol...

because I was worried that she might actually die.

But where in the world did she go after leaving my princess here?

Gosh, be quiet. I'm getting confused.

The pickles and the sauce.

- I'm all done. - Okay.

- Please make a quick delivery. - Okay.

"Daddy."

"Daddy."

Eun Byeol, when you go to school later on, I'll also send pizza...

to your school birthday party.

Parents send pizza to school to congratulate their kids' birthdays?

Yes. The stacks of pizzas I just sent earlier...

were paid by the parents whose children have birthdays this month.

Don't they mind that you're married to the woman who caused...

a controversy by having used a trainee as her surrogate mother?

The kids don't care about that.

All they care about is the taste.

Our pizza tastes really good.

- Would you like to try some? - No, I might gain weight.

We also have less fat pizza.

Instead, you need to pay for what you eat.

Just a second.

Hello? Yes, ma'am.

You want 20 more pizzas this Saturday?

Okay.

Of course. I'll make sure they taste great.

Okay, bye.

Nice. I got another order.

Gosh, he's become obsessed with money.

It's okay, honey.

By the way, where did So Dam go?

She left to meet Seo Jun earlier.

Seo Jun?

Hey, did you meet Seo Jun?

What did you talk about with him?

Goodness, did you tell your sister?

You told her, didn't you?

Didn't I tell you that I won't forgive you...

if you tell your sister?

Why did you tell her? Do you want to die?

Have you gone mad?

I couldn't tell her!

And it wasn't because I was scared of you.

It was because I felt sorry for her.

My goodness, did...

Did she just yell at me?

She must've gone crazy.

Anybody would go crazy in this situation.

Are you taking her side right now?

Come over here. Come here.

Hey, if you ever lay a finger on me,

- I'll go ahead and take a video. - My goodness.

You've both gone crazy.

Gosh, I really can't do this!

What is it this time?

Each bean sprout is worth hundreds of dollars.

Hundreds of dollars?

If we clean this and cook bean sprouts soup with kimchi for So Yu,

we'll be able to get a stamp from Chae Young.

That brat is probably enjoying this.

I mean, is this a game or what?

It's just nonsense.

(Do one good deed for So Yu every day.)

It's like we're participating in a rehabilitation program.

I mean, seriously. What is this nonsense?

We weren't asked to bring her mom back to life.

Cooking bean sprouts soup with kimchi isn't a big deal.

Instead, he promised to get us a house and a store.

We didn't even write a contract. Do you think he'll keep his word?

Why would the heir of LX Group lie to us?

I really enjoyed selling medical appliances.

Have you gone mad?

I'll let anyone work here but that adulterer and adulteress.

But I have to go shoot an extra scene in the afternoon.

You and I both need to be there, so what are we going to do?

Mi Ri, you should check your outfit for today.

Chae Young.

Can you manage the store for us while we're gone?

We haven't hired any part-timers yet.

No, I can't. If I don't go to the film site, Mr. Wang will kill me.

Then I guess we have no other choice.

Let's ask Soo Kyung to do it just for today.

Can't you hire her and her husband as part-timers here?

Hey, Chae Young, are you crazy?

You want us to hire them after what they did to So Yu?

Instead, you can make them work really hard.

Make them work really hard?

This store is very popular. They did a nice job with the display as well.

It's Ms. Eun.

You know that my sister never got to do...

anything for herself because of our mom's illness, right?

If she finds out about your illness,

she'll do exactly what she did back then.

Then, instead of living a life...

for her own self, she'll end up spending her entire 20s...

taking care of the sick...

I'm sorry.

Sir, can you pass me the hat?

It's much easier to take the photos with your cell phone and send them.

My cell phone broke.

Mr. Kang, we need to drop by somewhere for a while.

- Can you wait in the car? - Okay, sir.

I'll charge Ms. Hong for the price,

so choose the most expensive one.

Do you really expect me to believe that?

The one who threw it and broke it should be the one to pay for it.

I told you that I'll do it my way.

Will you please cooperate?

(Congratulations on becoming the number 1 phone store in Seoul.)

(Wireless Power Share)

I can take the designs home and work on them there.

I'm the one who doesn't have time.

Did the tables turn already?

What do you mean?

You were always the one begging me to spend time with you,

and I was always the one turning you down.

But today, I'm the one begging, and you're the one turning me down.

I just want you to win the design contest.

Don't pressure me so much. I'm not very confident.

I want you to have a dream.

A dream?

A dream that will help you...

become more clear of yourself as time goes by.

And the kind of dream that will console you...

regardless of how hard things might get in the process of achieving it.

What's wrong?

Are you really the executive director I know?

Did you read that from a book?

Don't stay in the office until too late.

You guys should go home now.

Here you go.

Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you.

See you guys.

- Ma'am. - Yes?

Gosh, what do you want?

I need to have dinner with my future daughter-in-law.

You need to see this.

What is it?

Executive Director Choi sent it to me.

Seo Jun?

It's a receipt saying he bought a cell phone.

And he's charging me for the price.

Why would he send this to you?

Let me go.

I'm sure he knows about what happened this morning.

Is there proof?

Well, I did get rid of it, but...

You know that no one can beat me...

if they don't have any evidence.

Do you think she decided not to come for our sake?

I called her before coming here. She'll be here soon.

Do you hear the way you talk?

Women get upset when men talk to them so formally.

- Ms. Kang. - "Ms. Kang."

Women also don't like it when they're referred to by their titles.

Ms. Kang.

Do you not care whether I feel upset or not?

I didn't come to LX Group to become a team manager.

Your mother's the one who suggested that I should come here.

What do you exactly mean?

Does that mean you knew her before you started working here?

We weren't exactly acquainted.

But she did know that I was fond of you.

- Hey. - Hello.

I'm sorry. Something came up right when I was about to leave.

Didn't you order anything yet?

You should've ordered beforehand.

I chose this place because I heard that you like Korean cuisine.

What do you like the most?

I think you need to make him feel better before we order.

Why? What's wrong with him?

I just told him the truth...

and said I came to LX Group because of personal intentions.

But he put on a stern face the moment he heard that,

so I'm kind of flustered right now.

Should I excuse myself if I offended you?

No, it's something I need to talk about with my mom.

You should choose a menu.

Yes, you should choose.

(Executive Director, Choi Seo Jun)

(Ms. Hong)

(Send)

Seo Jun, I may not have given birth to you,

but I still think of you as my own son.

So whenever you feel like you need a mom,

you can always call me.

Se Hyun shouldn't have done what he did.

I'll scold him.

Chairman Choi, Seo Jun did nothing wrong.

You should hit me instead.

I'm giving you a chance.

- You should eat too. - Okay.

(Choi Seo Jun)

Just a second.

(Gangnam Scandal)

So Dam and Tae Woong are like a married couple?

Chae Young, hurry up and delete it!

Do you want a divorce?

I'm going to live with So Dam and Eun Byeol.

- Tae Woong! - I said, get out!

I took a risk of getting kicked out and still protected LX.

Chairman Choi, my dad, worked hard his entire life...

I protected it for him.

I'll give you a chance to walk away elegantly.

You want me to take my pension and leave?

- That's the best option you have. - Seo Jun!
