THIS DRAMA SERIES IS FICTIONAL AND IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY

TO ACTUAL PLACES, PERSONS, ORGANIZATIONS, SETTINGS AND EVENTS

Even if the process is unsatisfactory,

it doesn't mean the results will be disparaged.

Don't be upset.

You're right, Father.

I understand.

You deserve a reward.

Tell me what you want.

NA HYEWON

There's a woman I want to marry.

I need her.

I give you my consent.

- Thank you, Father. - Congrats, son.

NA HYEWON

I miss you.

Don't go.

Don't go, Hyewon.

I miss you.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER

Sir? Sir, wake up!

- Sir? - Wait!

- Sir! - Wait!

Please, move!

Taeoh.

- Taeoh! - See if operating room is open!

Room two is open.

- Get ready for surgery. - Yes, doctor.

Ma'am, come this way. You need to sign the consent papers.

Hyewon.

Don't go.

Don't go, Hyewon.

Don't go.

Don't go.

Don't go, Hyewon.

Let's hurry.

HYEWON

How about a dry wine?

Sounds good.

INHA

OPERATING ROOM

Fererel Conti.

It's a tasty dry wine that isn't too sweet. It's very charming.

I think the quality of wine depends on the time and place.

How it fits into the mood and how well it goes with my emotions.

I like wine, but I don't know much about it.

That's the most common thing people say when asking for a wine recommendation.

But when you say that, it doesn't help the person recommending it.

It's too vague.

You have to say keywords when you want something from your opponent.

Like what I'm about to say to you.

If you want to continue being my son,

don't do anything.

From now on,

don't try to do anything.

You just have to do what I tell you...

when I tell you.

Easy, right?

Don't act on my own will.

As long as I abide,

you're saying I can live as your third son?

There won't be problems as long as you don't go over the line.

Take it. It's been ringing for a while.

If you'll excuse me.

Hello?

The hospital?

Okay.

- Han Taeoh was in an accident. - An accident?

Someone hit him in the head.

Don't go.

Don't go, Hyewon.

Don't go.

Mr. Han? Was he hurt badly?

More importantly...

Don't you have connections with the police?

Stop them.

An investigation will cause a fuss, and the media will join in.

There can't be any mention of Kangoh whatsoever.

Do you understand what I mean?

Hyewon!

What happened?

I don't know either.

The surgery is taking so long it's making me anxious.

Calm down. Everything will be fine.

He lost so much blood.

If he had been discovered a little later, it would've been bad.

It'll be okay.

Taeoh is stronger than anyone.

I know it.

I know how lucky he is too.

It's not an incident that happened within Kangoh.

It clearly occurred externally.

So why are you trying to cover it?

I don't think Mr. Kang Inha's decision is typical.

That's my conclusion.

Since when do you conclude things?

- You follow, you don't lead. - I apologize.

It seems you don't trust Kang Inha yet.

- What if I feel the same way as him? - I will obey.

How's Mr. Han?

He's in surgery right now.

Call Director In and prepare a hospital room.

Move him after his surgery as soon as he wakes up.

Yes, sir.

Put that by the bed.

Put that beside the air purifier.

The monitors will go there.

Han Taeoh was moved to the VVIP ward?

An order hasn't been made yet, so I'm not sure.

But he's undergoing brain surgery.

I think there was an accident.

You don't know how serious it is?

Shall I call the other hospital and find out?

No. I'm sure we'll know by tomorrow.

Okay, good job.

Will he live or die?

The great Han Taeoh.

What did you just say?

Han Taeoh is unconscious? Why?

What's with her?

She's like that because Taeoh might die.

Taeoh's going to die?

Ooh, Kang Huiju!

What was that?

Huiju likes Taeoh.

Didn't I tell you before?

- The answer's with her. - Who could understand something like that?

Be precise. Tell me in detail.

Hey.

Did you know that Huiju liked Taeoh too?

Do I look that idle to you?

You psychopath.

Whatever.

By any chance... Was it you? Did you do that to Taeoh?

It wasn't you?

- Hey! - Seeing you get angry seems suspicious.

If you mess around,

I might kill you myself.

You're making me lose my appetite.

Try it.

You little punk!

Don't walk off like that, punk!

That's enough. You always work yourself up like that.

Tell me what you were talking about earlier.

Huiju and Taeoh. Can you support it?

It's a gut feeling.

Crap. You almost had me.

If she doesn't like him, how would you explain her behavior just now?

That's true.

She has such low standards.

Why would she like a bum like that?

But...

it really wasn't you?

Hey!

Han Taeoh was assaulted?

Yes, but...

Is something bothering you?

I looked into it.

The police didn't even file a report.

What are you saying?

HAN TAEOH

Taeoh.

Are you up?

Can you hear me?

I'll get the doctor.

What do you think you're doing?

Why are you here?

If you're here because you're worried, you should ask how he's doing first.

Answer my question first.

Why are you here?

She has a right to be.

How's Taeoh?

He's up.

I'll get the doctor.

Taeoh's... alive.

I won't have to worry anymore.

Sir, what's your name?

Han...

Han Taeoh...

HYEWON

I got an urgent call from work.

I'll call you later.

The doctor said he's out of the woods

so I don't think you need to worry.

Also,

it could get a little rowdy because of the situation.

- They could mention Kangoh and you-- - I know.

You told the police not to investigate to avoid bringing up my name.

I feel the same.

You don't need to explain.

- Yes, Father. - But Director Han could feel differently.

- Explain it so he can understand. - Yes, sir.

KANG INHA

ATTORNEY CHU HYEOKJIN

Mr. Chu.

There's something... I need you to look into quietly.

We need to wait and see how the surgery went,

but for now, his pulse and breathing are all stable.

You should go now too.

I want to stay.

- Listen to me. - Is there a reason I can't stay?

- Huiju. - To be honest...

I don't like you because of Hyewon.

Huiju.

How much longer will you keep her by your side?

I'm going to marry her.

Father gave his consent.

So respect her from now on.

Do you know why I hate her?

She doesn't love you.

- Watch your mouth. - The only person she loves...

is herself.

Don't fall for her lies. She doesn't love you.

Do I look like...

a fool to fall for those lies?

- That's not what I'm saying. - You are.

- Inha. - If you insult Hyewon,

you insult me.

I won't forgive that, even if it's you.

You'll regret ignoring my warning.

Regret...

I don't do that, Taeoh.

You haven't left work yet.

I had something to take care of.

Chairman Kang's right-hand man, Director Han Taeoh,

got assaulted last night.

It seems like Kangoh hushed it.

No matter how much they hide it, it will get out eventually.

I'm sure there's a reason they hid it.

Just ignore it.

I can't do that.

He's been a nuisance for the boss.

- Do you want to say something to me? - No, it's not like that.

It's just strange.

What do you mean?

Anyone can see it was a random assault.

The police didn't file a report under Kangoh Group's instructions.

See? Don't you think it's strange?

Why would Kangoh do that?

It'll be faster if you ask yourself.

The person who ordered it...

was Kang Inha.

Are you up?

Hey, Mr. Han.

Am I in hell right now?

Heaven.

Heaven...

I guess I'm not dead.

- Give me some water. - Sure.

You'll be moved to Kangoh Hospital tomorrow.

- There's no need. - Father's orders.

The culprit?

Everyone has agreed to forget about last night.

There will be no investigation.

In the future, this incident...

- won't be mentioned anywhere. - This has to do with me.

Who decided...

- my personal affairs? - Kangoh.

Father and I.

The chairman...

- and you? - This is just in case.

Since you're the victim, your name will be mentioned,

but Kangoh or my father's name can't be mentioned with it.

So this incident...

isn't just a simple assault.

A simple assault case...

...will mention Kangoh Group? Is that it?

- That's excessive. - Don't think of it like that.

What's best for Kangoh is what's best for us.

You should rest.

I'm off.

Ah.

My father gave me his consent to marry Hyewon.

We're really getting married.

Anyone can see it was a random assault.

The police didn't file a report under Kangoh Group's instructions.

The person who ordered it...

was Kang Inha.

HYEWON

Yeah, are you done?

I want to know...

who did this to me.

I know it'll be going against your will.

I will find who did it.

I thought that Kangoh's position was conveyed to you.

Kangoh's name won't come up no matter what.

How can you guarantee that?

I'm Han Taeoh, Chairman.

Han Taeoh.

True, that name is more than enough.

Kangoh's name cannot be mentioned.

No matter what.

No one on the outside can know the victim was close to Kang Joongmo.

As long as you can promise both...

I give you my consent.

I promise.

Hurry.

You must find out who's behind it first.

And Han Taeoh

can never find out about this before us.

Ah!

Damn it!

We're closed.

What's this?

Han Taeoh?

What are you doing here? You barely survived.

Are you out of your mind?

This will have to do for now. Take it.

When Amico comes back, I'll have him take you to the hospital.

You came here while risking your life

which means you need something that you desperately need.

What do you need?

The location is Han River. Jamwon District.

The date is May 11th.

Around 11 p.m.

Find out...

who attacked me.

Why can't you answer me?

Did you really stop the police investigation?

I came to tell you that my father gave his consent.

Answer my question.

Yeah, that's right.

I stopped them.

He's not just Han Taeoh.

He's Kangoh Group's Chairman Kang Joongmo's closest confidant.

What if my father's name is mentioned in such a trivial matter?

It's horrible to even imagine.

Of course, my father feels the same.

I forgot for a moment that

you're also Chairman Kang's son.

You should've had Chairman Kang give the order.

The way you call his name.

It bothers me.

Taeoh could've died.

If he was found a little later, he could've died in the streets!

But aren't you curious as to who's behind...

this terrible deed?

- Taeoh understands. - He almost died!

He didn't die. He's fine.

Even if a pet dog got hurt, people wouldn't act like this.

He's not a pet dog.

- What? - The pets my father keep

are all blood-related.

Taeoh is different from us.

He's just a mutt.

Then I must be a mutt too. Since I'm not blood-related.

I understand where you're coming from as a friend,

- but that's enough. - You're his friend too.

Don't act like he's not important to you.

I have work in the morning. I'm off.

- Chanhyeon? - Yes.

Did the Ministry of Environment send anything?

Ah.

Here you go.

- What about the debate location? I found two places for now.

We're looking into the details.

That's good.

Give me the UN's environmental report from last year.

Okay, on it.

Why would you change your number?

Do you know how much money and time I spent trying to find you?

How much do you need?

Look at you.

It's been 10 years. Is that all you have to say to your mom?

If you want affection, I'll provide it.

But wasn't I just a slut to you?

50,000 won.

Your daughter?

What's your name?

Slut.

Just send it here.

What about a loan? How much can you get?

What? Do you think I want pocket change?

Unbelievable. If you want to play in the big leagues,

you need to be more generous.

My fingertips have been getting dull with age.

There's a house available at a low price, and I might buy it. What do you think?

Why would you ask me?

Because I'm buying it with your money.

Of course, I need to ask.

If you don't give it to me, I'll keep coming back.

- Should I slit my wrist? - You're insane!

I'll just cut and end it here.

Are you crazy?

Get out before I call the cops!

That slut.

Yeah, we just parted ways.

Of course.

My lips are sealed.

Call me whenever you need me.

Yes, okay. Goodbye.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT 10,009,287 WON

Nice!

This is great!

This is amazing!

You're late.

What's wrong with your arm?

Did you get hurt?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Hyewon. I was wrong.

I must've lost my mind for a second.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Enjoy your meal.

Welcome.

I can't get through this?

Then what about this?

SEOUL CCTV CONTROL CENTER

Yes!

Please, be here. Come on.

There you are.

I finally got you!

I'll have to take care of Kang Inju now.

I'll make sure he has no place to go.

Then you're going to need a lot of information on Kang Inju.

I am.

All of it.

Don't leave anything out.

Well? It's high, right?

Too high that not just anyone can reach.

Let's go.

Have you picked a date?

I'd like to discuss that.

Discuss it with the secretary's office.

Yes, sir.

It's Na Hyewon.

That's my name.

You didn't ask, so I thought I'd tell you.

Na Hyewon.

You're one of Hanmi Party Leader Jo Sundong's aides.

I didn't ask because I already know.

You seem to say what's on your mind, so let me do so as well.

The work you're doing now...

When will you quit?

You work for Jo Sundong.

So I'm sure you know my background with Congressman Jo.

Did you think I'd accept one of his people?

- Father, we can talk-- - I'm speaking with Aide Na Hyewon.

If you want, I can get you a position at the foundation.

You can have fun working there.

I don't want to have fun.

I want to work, Father.

Bravo.

Judging by everyone's expression, it seems I've done something wrong.

Since I've already made a mistake, I'll make one more.

If you're going to give me a position, give me the one I want.

You want me to abandon my career.

It's the least you can do.

How frank of you.

There's nothing bad about that.

I like that your goals are simple and clear.

However, when I allowed a mere congressman's aide into Bisunjae,

I expected common sense with the appropriate attitude.

But you don't have that. How disappointing.

I'm sorry.

How could you be so thoughtless?

She's not being thoughtless.

She fully evaluated the chairman's character.

She's not clever.

She's shrewd.

This is why I hate you.

We need to talk.

How could you say whatever's on your mind?

- He provoked me first. - Do you want to be respected?

Sorry, but give it up. He doesn't respect anyone but himself.

Do you feel the same?

- Should I go to work to have fun? - You can't get everything you want.

You have to make sacrifices for what's real.

Why would you decide

- what's real for me? - Because I know

what's real for you.

If you get what's real,

everything will follow in its place without me having to do anything.

So wait.

Scissors.

Oh. Mr. Han, what are you doing here?

Did you come to visit?

You're too casual.

You're not hesitant or flustered.

You didn't fail.

You weren't trying to kill me.

Excuse me?

- What are you saying? - Was it a warning?

I heard you were hurt.

I'll take you wherever you need to go if you need.

If so...

will you kill me next time?

You're saying the strangest things.

Did your owner...

tell you why to do it?

I don't know what you're saying.

The reason.

Did your owner tell you why?

Owner?

The reason.

Did your owner tell you?

It's already done.

Does the reason matter?

Yes.

"It's already done."

So the reason's not important.

In return...

go and let Kang Inju know.

Tell him I won't forget his warning.

I always repay what is owed.

Damn it.

There are so many hot girls tonight.

I got everything prepared upstairs.

Just a moment.

When did you get here?

I'm glad you're okay.

Back then...

you were wrong.

We don't mean anything to one another.

Han Taeoh!

KANG INHA

Hello?

I was a coward.

If you're going to confess, forget it.

It's over.

It's not over yet.

At least not for me. I'm not done.

No, I thought I was done. But...

I thought I was going to die, and you were there.

Everything disappeared but you.

I told you, it's over.

- I kept losing consciousness. - Taeoh!

- My memories started to disappear. - Stop it.

My memories of you didn't disappear. They only got clearer.

You can mock me saying it's childish self-pity.

Jerk...

I know.

I'm selfish.

I'm the worst.

I know I have no right to say this to you.

I'm sorry.

I went to you that night.

You're right.

I was wrong.

Are you happy now?

Do you feel better?

So, why?

You're crazy.

Yes.

I'm crazy.

What do you want from me?

Tell me.

Tell me what you want.

Right now.

This moment.

This is it. This is what I wanted.

Wow.

They really know how to have fun.

Right?

Check the document.

See the treasure I got on Kang Inju.

You'll be so surprised.

Hello.

- Start the meeting in 15 minutes. - Yes, sir.

You should get in.

You won't pick it up?
