Under seizure
Why are you doing this?
You can't do this!
What's going on, honey?
There's a time you learn a lesson about life.
My first lesson was that even my almighty dad fears something.
...something called the power of authority.
10 years later
It was when I was 18 years old.
She passed away.
Mom died from a summer cold, which they say even dogs don't catch.
She foolishly let the illness get worse because we were poor.
Only a few flies visited her in the mortuary.
I learned my second lesson about life in that empty mortuary.
Poverty is nothing to be ashamed of, inconvenient, or a sin.
I made up my mind then.
I will become a person of power and money.
I will put this sad life to a stop!
Mom!
But there are ambushes in life.
I didn't realize that then.
Mom...
Ladies and gentlemen, the new generation of leaders...
...in the global business are gathering in Seoul.
You have a man...
A man?
A big change is ahead of you.
An amazing change!
(Chanting)
It's red everywhere.
Ladies and gentlemen, now we will begin the 2012 GYBA Award Ceremony.
Average age 45.
These are global leaders...
Soon we will have a winner of the Grand GYBA of 2012.
A new world!
A new status!
A new status?
(Chanting)
The day a red flag is waving in the wind...
Your life will change!
Ma In Tak!
The man who turned a failing hotel into today's successful AnB Hotel in 7 years.
In his college years, he invested his seed money, $10,000 in stocks...
and made $1 million.
His successful investments in hotels, construction, finance and entertainment...
... are miracles of Midas.
Some say I am Midas Tak.
Everything that I touch turns into gold.
Which means, every business I've started...
becomes a great success and victory.
...which is a lie. It's not true.
Most of the businesses I started became garbage.
But because of that garbage,
and failure of my business brought me here tonight,
2012 GYBA World and had me receive this wonderful award.
Thank you so much, ladies and gentlemen.
I will try to become a real Midas Tak after tonight.
This is real gold too.
Is this pure gold?
I wonder if it's gold-plated.
It's pure gold.
Ladies and gentlemen, he says this trophy is pure gold.
Can you believe it?
I will try to find out myself.
Lighting!
We will start if you are ready.
Stand by... Go!
You made an interesting comment at the ceremony. Did you really not believe it?
My philosophy of life, No. 1...
"Do not trust what people say"
No. 2, "Find out yourself if you doubt."
Yourself!
What did you think after you found out yourself?
My philosophy of life, No. 3!
"Money is the only thing you can trust."
Because money doesn't lie.
I thought it was good to win this award.
Why? Because gold is money.
Let's take a break.
You are so witty. You are so fun to listen to!
Like this?
That's not what I meant...
This?
Mister, a lot of people are watching here...
Bang Kuk Bum!
Yes, Sir!
You are getting paid with my money for doing your job like this?
If I see torn bed sheets, sofa or pillows once again...
You will all be fired!
Sir, your interview...!
The interview is over!
President, that reporter...
is screaming that you sexually harassed her.
Sexually harassed?
It looks like she's going to talk to the media.
So, I wonder...
A handbag or shoes?
Or... cash?
You are wasteful!
-Pardon? -What?
A handbag? Shoes?
You're being too generous with my money!
But a scandal is the worst! It's dangerous!
Go tell the woman...
What my hand touched was not a human's ass, but a gigantic mass of silicon.
Tell her I will let the whole world know if she acts up!
Money makes power.
Power makes a tyrant.
And what controls that tyrant is... a woman.
Why can't I return this?
This is not refundable.
Why not?
I am sorry.
Tell me why.
Oh wow, Hee Jin!
"Oh wow, Hee Jin?"
Oh, I made a mistake. The customer is king. I am sorry, Ma'am.
I want to return this.
Looks like you wore it for 6 months.
What inconvenience did you have during that 6 months?
It's too tight on one side.
One side of your breasts?
Oh, perhaps...
Did you get your boobs done?
Done what?
This is all natural.
What are you saying? I saw them when we went on a field trip.
You have a totally flat chest like gum stuck on the street...
I was easy on you since you were my high school classmate.
What did you just say to a customer?
Aren't you looking down on me?
How dare you! I am your customer. The customer is king!
What are you doing?
Hey, I am talking to you!
What happened?
Hey!
You pushed away a customer who is king!
I can't stand it anymore!
Bring your boss!
No, bring the head of the department!
Ma'am...
From now on, I don't work at this department store.
What?
I just remembered your nickname from high school.
The kids felt like throwing up at the sight of your face.
So, your nickname was "Throw-up Face".
What are you talking about?
That throw-up face got prettier like this!
Technology is amazing indeed!
But you know what?
Even with all that nip and tuck,
You can't even compare to me, Yoon Da Ran, the beauty queen of Arum High School.
My boyfriend just passed the national judicial exam...
...which means!
I will be a prosecutor's wife soon!
If you behave like that again,
I am going to just...!
Miss Yun Da Ran...
Today, I learned my third lesson about life.
If you wish dearly, it will come true.
Of course, the process wasn't easy.
I tried hard to seize the power of authority.
But I always failed the exam.
Pick and choose! They just rolled out of the factory!
Isn't pretty?
I danced with all my limbs for money, but all I got were flies flying by.
But I got it finally!
My golden key!
I am headed to the promised land now.
This is your new chauffeur who was hired 2 hours ago.
He is a former racer. He is a professional driver.
$100 if you get me to the Emperor Building in 20 minutes.
Yes, Sir!
Your true driving skills show when on the road.
The road is unpredictable with lots of obstacles.
This is true racing full of thrills.
It took 16 minutes 23 seconds.
I saved you 3 minutes and 37 seconds.
Thank you.
You don't need to give me this much.
Thank you, Thank you!
It's your severance pay.
I don't like auto racing.
It makes me dizzy and sick.
And it ruins my style.
I just tried to make the time.
You are lowering the average life span of Koreans.
An outlaw on the road, cancer of society.
An attempted murderer.
You are fired.
You just want me to die, right?
He was not a driver, but a killer!
You sent me a killer.
Be quiet. Don't talk.
Find a new driver in 2 hours.
I need a driver, not a killer!
Mr. Ma In Tak has never been married.
The precondition for the inheritance has not been met.
So the inheritance will be delayed for one year.
If there's no objection, everyone sign the paper, please.
What is the current value of that land now?
The market value is $12 million but...
Because of the upcoming airport and tourism district...
It should be easily $20 million now.
Anyway, we will meet just one more time.
If you don't get married within a year, everything will be donated to charity.
Living alone...
...doesn't sound bad since I am rich.
Why is it not bad? It's bad! Very bad!
I will leave you then.
Relax! Relax...
In Tak, what I am saying is...
Living alone is really bad.
A man who lives alone smells bad.
Living alone is not good for health or longevity.
Not good for longevity?
It's scientifically proven.
Hurry up!
You have to get married in a year.
So you can live long and get your inheritance...
Not the inheritance...
What are you saying? Half of the inheritance...
It's not for me, but for my wife.
And the other half will go to you, Uncle.
Why did Grandma leave her inheritance to you and my wife?
It's my marriage. But I am left out.
Don't you know the saying, husband and wife are one?
Your wife's money is yours too.
Don't you know the saying, husband and wife are separate beings?
My wife's money is hers.
So... are you saying you won't get married?
I don't like how it affects my longevity.
Isn't that right?
You don't need to shorten your life span.
Here...
This is a lady you don't want to pass up!
She has it all. Prestigious family, good education and looks!
She is so nice too!
How much do you get from it?
Excuse me?
From this matchmaking?
Oh...
Just...
You are a top candidate for a husband.
A great appeal to women!
You must make a lot since the marriage comes with an inheritance.
100?
1,000.
Set a date.
Really?
My father used to say...
You should help your family members in need.
Or they will become your enemies.
We can't become enemies.
So I should go on a blind date at least, to help you out.
Call me when a date is set.
Then I will get going since I'm busy.
He is... evil!
I told you to stop matchmaking for just a couple of dollars.
Is $5,000 just a couple of dollars?
You said $3,000.
The value of the land went up, so does my fee!
It's premium!
Thanks for having waited for me this long.
Honey...
You will marry me, right?
Won't you?
You are proposing to me...
I am just...
...moved to tears!
Why do you cry?
Stop crying. Good girl.
One more time.
You are silly.
I am so happy.
-Really? -Yes.
You are as good looking as I was told.
Thank you.
My aunt said you have a good family and education.
Just good enough not to feel inferior to others.
Why does a lady with such a good background go on a blind date with a guy like me?
As you know, I have just a so-so background.
Most of all, men should be capable.
Congratulations on winning the 2012 Grand GYBA award.
You are in tune with business news.
I researched you just a little.
DOB: June 7, 1984.
Height: 166 cm. Weight: 51 kg.
You are blood type B.
What are you doing?
You know so much about me.
So, I should measure up to you.
Perhaps... did you look into me?
Just a little.
The Korean Baduk Champion, Kang So Wun, Pop music composer Park Shin,
President of an Internet portal site Kim Kwang Hyun,
Genius violinist Patrick Choi...
You have dated lots of amazing guys.
Are you shopping around for young successful men?
Are you building up your collection?
Do you know you're being rude?
I was born into a family that didn't know manners.
Excuse me!
You have an inferiority complex, right?
Why? Do you not like it?
Honey... I am worried to death.
-About what? -Prosecutors' wives must have high pride.
What should I do?
I am afraid I might not be a good enough a wife for you.
What are you saying? I am proud to death.
Don't exaggerate! Proud of what?
No one else at the Judicial Training is marrying a beautiful woman like you.
That's what you think.
Go back to art school after we get married.
What?
You said you wanted to study art more.
Oh... that.
I remember when we first met.
It was at Ye Rang Gallery in Sam Chung Dong.
You are the one who painted this painting, right?
The painting looks like yours.
You were really romantic then.
-How about now? -Very much! Too much!
What is it?
Let's have our parents meet before I start at Judicial Training.
Next week?
Please tell your dad that I am sorry.
I feel bad for asking him to come all the way to Jeju Island.
That's because your father is not mobile.
My dad is understanding.
I feel bad. This is the first time I am meeting your dad.
You are so considerate.
I chose a really nice guy!
Oh, my!
I almost forgot the most important thing today.
You must have been worried.
Just a little.
I am just letting you use my name.
But can you really handle it?
You have to pay high interest on loan shark money.
They are thieves!
I will pay it back once I get a loan from the Judicial Training.
It will be fine.
You said we are moving in to a new home next month?
Now I can live in a new condo?
-Are you that happy? -Yes!
I am so excited!
Your family donated horses and even built a barn.
That's how you got in a college as a horse riding major.
With frequent plastic surgeries,
You obtained a look even celebrities would envy.
Your original look was a little bland.
You only care about your looks and get paid for doing nothing at work.
But they can't fire you because of your father.
You...
Do you know who I am?
You are shopping around for men because of your vanity and inferiority complex.
In addition, you think you are a princess.
I'd rather marry someone who...
She probably spent all her money on that brand handbag...
... putting it on the table like that, just to show off.
That boorish woman is better than you.
For the same vanity, she looks kind of innocent and cute.
What's wrong?
I just felt evil energy passing by me.
That felt real!
Didn't you feel it?
Are you possessed?
That man must be a swindler.
That level of anger is from being betrayed.
It doesn't look like a love quarrel.
She must have been swindled then.
-Is that so? -Oh, man!
That guy makes a bad impression.
How pathetic he is to swindle a woman!
Honey, you should wipe out those guys.
In the name of justice! OK?
Don't worry. In the name of justice!
You must be kidding.
I don't have much time to live.
He lost his father two years ago. He will be an orphan soon.
Who's an orphan?
In Tak is a grown-up now, Mom.
He was an illegitimate child, so was looked down on in this family.
His father never even smiled at him once.
It's because he acted spitefully.
Even I wasn't a good grandmother.
I worry that he might never know what love is.
Don't worry about a thing.
He will live well. That's just how he is.
Then why are you like that?
You two didn't get along, but you didn't come to your brother's funeral.
I had my reason then.
What is this?
It's land!
When did you buy land?
Don't think it's your land when I am dead.
Yes!
It won't be your land when I die.
-What? -You make sure In Tak gets married.
Then I will give you half of that.
What do you mean? Why am I responsible for that?
I am asking you to look out for him until he gets married, for your brother.
He grew up lonely and hurt.
So, he says he doesn't want a family.
That's all our fault.
My last wish is that In Tak finds a good wife and lives happily.
So, be sure to find him a good wife, OK?
No one can touch this land before you do that.
Not you, nor In Tak!
That land was of no value then.
So I thought my mom was being ridiculous.
Who knew that land would become a gold mine?
Do you think In Tak is interested in getting married?
Probably not.
He won't get married so I don't get the inheritance.
That's a probable reason.
When his father passed away, you didn't come to the funeral.
President Ma holds a grudge against you for that.
That's why you need...
...a woman who will cling to President Ma for her life.
These ladies almost have a death sentence because of their messed up lives.
A death sentence?
If you want to capture his heart, you have to cling to him like a leach first.
But who on earth would do that for a vicious guy like him?
It's almost impossible.
But if her life is at stake, it's a different story.
Life at stake?
The perfect condition for a miracle...
... is death.
Well, she may try hard, but...
These girls won't do with their looks.
These are just samples to help us understand.
I am looking for someone desperate, who is also good looking.
If our plan succeeds,
I will be able to grab the entire inheritance, not just half.
Please trust me.
Marriage or death!
I will find that girl.
OK! Marriage or death!
That's it!
Isn't this too expensive?
It's for meeting his parents, but this is really expensive.
What is your biggest strength?
My amazing looks?
Bingo!
The key to success is to use your strongest point and invest in it.
You don't have money, a job, or status.
Isn't that true?
That's true.
So, all we have left is your looks.
That's why overspending is necessary in this case.
My daughter is wise.
You are so smart.
Why do you think that amazing Woo Suk loves me?
By the way...
What is this?
Let's say I am an executive at this company.
What?
He will be a prosecutor from a family of educators.
How can I say I am unemployed?
That's too embarrassing, Da Ran.
I couldn't say you have no job.
So I told them you worked at a small but good company.
I should be an executive at my age.
We should measure up to his level.
You can't be so naive. You will be looked down on.
Woo Suk isn't that kind of man.
Marriage is a match between families.
Gosh.
I don't feel good about lying that I am an art major.
Da Ran...
Do you love him?
Yes.
Does he love you?
Very much!
Then you should never tell him the truth.
Marriage is reality.
Dad...
Don't worry about your dowry.
I will make sure you will have a big dowry.
Woo Suk and I already talked about it.
Don't you see the news?
A dowry can be a reason for family abuse and divorce. Reality is harsh.
I just couldn't stand seeing you suffer in that kind of situation.
You don't have money.
You don't trust your dad?
After what you have done, how can I?
I know your intention. That's enough for me.
But I am...
You just do nothing. That's how you can help me.
Just don't get in trouble.
That's all I am asking. OK?
Let's go, dad.
I can't let you marry like that.
My daughter, that's how deep your father's heart is.
How many times have I told you?
Have you always been cheated?
Yes, I have.
I have been cheated many times.
Diamonds are everywhere in Africa. The cost the same as gum there.
But how valuable would they be in Korea?
It'll be valuable like diamonds.
That's it! That's what I am saying!
Since you are doubtful...
I am showing you this... secret diplomatic document.
You see here, "An estimated diamond reserve in Africa is 57 million karats."
And next...
The big investment company DnT confirmed the size of the reserve...
Here, there is the signature of the Foreign Minister.
Wow...
If you still can't believe me...
Midas Tak, the genius investor who turns everything he touches into gold.
Who is this?
He never failed in his investment.
He just invested in our diamond mine this morning.
Wow.
He won a big award too!
A genius investor...
There's a private presentation for VIP investors on March 3.
I got this invitation just for you.
That's the day I need to go to Jeju Island.
Stop talking and work!
Hurry!
Let's get started!
Director!
How can you change an actress now?
-Please... -Go away.
How can you do this? I am not a rookie.
It's the studio's decision. What can I do?
The director doesn't have any power.
Director!
Gosh.
Please...
Why are you doing this, Miss Hong Mi Mi?
I am not what I used to be.
I will do my best as if it were my first movie.
Please give me a chance.
I do like you, Mi Mi.
But the studio doesn't.
I guess I could insist...
Why don't you get up now? It's making me uncomfortable.
I will do my best, director.
How about $3000?
Pardon?
Of course you have to keep it a secret to the studio.
I don't have money.
You don't?
Then... what do you have?
-Your body? -What are you doing?
Don't pretend to be so innocent.
We are pros.
I am trying to help you out.
Don't you know my intention?
Think again.
Does he think I am like a flea?
That dirty jerk who has dung coming out of his nostrils...!
Your temperament hasn't changed.
Kim Sun Woo.
Why are you here?
To see you.
I called your agency. They said you were here.
-Did you see it all? -Yes.
That must have been amusing.
Yeah.
Get lost.
That director is an asshole.
And the movie will be a flop.
Heaven helped you reject him.
Now you know how to flatter people.
I am not flattering you.
I always thought you were a good actress.
So...
What's your business with this amazing actress?
Something to change our lives.
What?
Are you curious?
Who is this?
Your brother.
I don't even know my parents. My brother?
Who said he's your brother by blood?
Tell me the truth.
What's your real reason to come see me after 10 years?
I heard you lost your house because of your ex-husband's gambling.
You came back to the movie business for money.
But there's no work for you.
Except for the work that humiliates you like earlier.
You came to upset me.
I have no feelings left for you to do that.
This will change your life.
This man will.
Ma In Tak will attend a press conference for the movie you had a cameo in.
He is a prospective investor.
That is a perfect chance for you two to meet.
You cannot miss the chance.
I am sorry I am late.
Are you crazy?
What time is it now?
Open the door.
Let's go.
He won't welcome you warmly in the beginning.
He doubts everything at first.
So you may end up getting hurt.
But what's important is that you are desperate to find your brother.
Just don't forget how you must feel.
Never.
Look at the ocean!
So what?
Do I tour by myself?
Both Dad and Woo Suk are so mean!
I have a business meeting that day.
I will be there on time to meet his parents.
Just don't be mad at me.
What?
I am sorry. I can't miss the meeting with my seniors at the Judicial Training.
Why don't you leave by yourself?
I will be there on time with my parents.
OK. Relationships are very important in the law field.
Then I should go...
... get my skin pampered for the meeting!
Now let me introduce a cameo guest...
The sexy icon among Korean male fans...
Actress Hong Mi Mi!
Hello.
I respect the director so much...
I decided to do a cameo to support him.
She requested a meeting with you for an important matter.
What should I tell her?
For 10 minutes at the coffee shop on the 11th floor.
Wow...
I am going to a very important meeting.
Oh!
Ma... Ma... Midas Tak!
Yes.
So nice to meet you!
I invested everything into it, because of you.
You know what it is.
That secret investment... diamonds.
Diamonds?
That's right!
Since you are an amazing investor, I invested everything in it too!
Do you mean that one?
The police are investigating the two representatives...
Nowadays everyone lies, using other people's names...
There's a saying...
A blind trust will bring multiple generations down.
I thought you wouldn't come.
You are staring for free in a movie I am investing in.
So I made time.
I am a man of manners.
You have 10 minutes.
Don't you remember me?
I recognized you at first sight.
Try to remember.
Take that hand off.
Yeah!
The Beast Woman!
You are the first to remember that movie.
A pathetic storyline, poor acting...
The main actress was the worst.
But her nice body made it slightly better.
Your face aged quite a bit.
But your body hasn't changed. Especially that speck!
You are one of the thousand people who watched it.
Are you a fan of erotic movies?
I'm a fan of movies that failed.
Is this why you wanted to see me?
To ask me to remember the Beast Woman?
The exact title was "The Woman who Turned into a Beast."
What nonsense...
I am Mi Sun!
How can you not remember?
You've seen my movie, but still don't recognize me?
Ok...
I got some work done on my face.
Just a little.
Everyone says I look the same as when I was little.
Hong Mi Sun?
Do you remember now?
Hong Mi Sun...
How many people have that name in Korea?
Hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands?
What are you saying?
You are one of the thousands...
So, what?
Oppa (brother)...
I am not interested in an old erotic actress. So, go find someone else.
I don't like older women.
Time is up!
Please leave a message...
Dad! What's going on?
Are you still in Seoul?
You should call me at least if you are late.
Are you on the plane now?
Why don't you answer the phone?
Why? Why?
Why aren't both dad and Woo Suk coming?
They are already 50 minutes late.
Woo Suk?
Boss!
Hi, Baby!
Do you want to go on a date with me?
What are you doing?
Stop doing that!
What are you doing? Let me go!
Let me go!
What are you doing?
Stop doing that!
Why are you doing this to me?
Where's my Woo Suk?
You said I can see Woo Suk.
I want to see my Woo Suk too.
Where the heck is he now?
What?
The more I think about it...
The higher my blood pressure goes up!
Boss!
Flight fare, lodging fees...
My money got wasted on my trip here...
There it goes again!
Boss!
Anyway...
Now things happened this way.
You pay back my money.
Woo Suk said he would pay it back with a loan...
And he paid the interest on time.
My Woo Suk...
...never paid interest so far.
What?
That damned Woo Suk...
...deserted me and you here and ran away.
What are you saying?
We were going to have our parents meet here.
My Woo Suk doesn't have parents.
That's not true. My Woo Suk's hometown is Jeju Island.
My Woo Suk's hometown is Seoul.
What are you?
Why do you bad mouth him like that?
Do you know who Woo Suk is?
I knew he was a swindler, but I didn't know he'd cheat me.
I came here, believing he'd pay my money back.
Boss!
There it goes up again.
Flight fare...
Lodging fees...
And my money!!
Mister...
Why are you doing this to me?
Just give me my money back now.
You are an accomplice. And your name is down as the borrower.
$100,000?
He should have paid the interest on time.
Interest on the interest...
Don't you know?
You are all swindlers!
You got me wrong!
What? Accomplice? What do you think I am?
I am going to call the police!
Kidnapping and threatening me!
You gotta serve a few years for that!
So, let me go while I am nice to you!
That's noisy. She's crazy!
Baby, baby?
Baby!
How is the shot?
I think we can strip one by one.
That's Sup Sup's expertise.
Sup Sup, can you strip it?
I don't think so.
How about the hole?
That hole would work!
-Should we do that hole? -Yes!
Are you doing Saman Bang?
It's a scratch!
You went downhill!
Is it fun?
You...
What did you do to me?
You are worse than dogs!
We enjoyed watching it.
And it turned out really good!
You have a hot body!
Don't do this!
Let me go!
Since I am a nice man...
I will give you some time.
Bring me $100,000 within a week.
Otherwise, this will be uploaded to the internet and you'll become famous.
After that, you should consider going pro.
Since you need to pay me back.
You have a nice body and talent!
Don't try anything silly.
We will kill you and your father.

My lover ran away. My dad ran away.
What?
That secret audition?
You heard you need lots of patience.
Maybe it's an human experiment?
Please drop me.
I am entrant no. 12, Yun Da Ran.
You are a little boorish.
You don't look energetic.
How much patience is worth $100,000?
Human experiment?
He doesn't like smelly or hairy women.
He will come. He won't come...
It's like winning a lottery if you win his heart!
He will come.
