Cunning Single Lady
Did you or didn't you say that I made a ruckus at my ex-husband's company to get stocks?
You did, you did!
But Lady, you think you're the CEO's ex-wife or something?
- Are you his ex-wife? - That's right!
I'm his ex-wife! What are you going to do about it?
Jung Woo! You're here.
Ae Ra's... over there.
This way.
Officer, I've brought him.
I'm Cha Jung Woo.
[Settlement Form]
With that, the misunderstanding between you two is over.
Na Ae Ra will pay for the medical fees.
Everyone agree to the terms?
You should consider yourself lucky.
I'm holding back because I'm an intellectual!
Who should be the one saying that?
Really! Shall we start leaving?
Everything's settled, so you all can leave.
You too, Mr. Cha Jung Woo.
Yes.
President Cha, you did right by getting a divorce. You did.
Will you really be okay without getting treated?
I didn't know it was her!
You there!
Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to come...
I hope that something like this doesn't come up again in the future.
I feel the same way!
Make sure that ridiculous rumors don't spread about this!
Ow! What?
All right.
Let's both watch ourselves from now on then.
Jeez.
He might as well have left me in lock-up.
What?
Nothing.
What is it?
I... thought that she might have been really pretty.
Your... ex-wife.
She was pretty.
She was like the Virgin Mary back in the day.
Why do you always eat kimchi stew every day?
- What? - You always come and eat alone.
You must not have any friends.
I don't have any other friends who study public service.
You don't go to law school, right?
No, I went to engineering school.
You're studying public service after graduating from engineering school?
You can still take the public service exam even if you came from engineering school?
I'm... studying to be an engineer.
There are things like that?
Then study hard.
Back then, she didn't just have a pretty face, but a kind heart too.
She believed in me more than anybody else.
But she completely changed when my business venture failed.
Honey. Honey, I'm cold.
Your husband is freezing. Honey...
Honey. Honey!
Hon...
Honey! Hon...
So that's what happened?
Is that why you didn't give her alimony?
What do you mean I didn't?
She said she wouldn't take it!
Do you know how she treated me?
What should we do about the alimony money?
Do you even have any money to give?
I put the office for sale.
- It won't be much if we move outside... - Forget it.
How much do you plan to give me that way?
I won't take it, so don't call me again using alimony as an excuse.
Just quietly...
get out of my life.
'Get lost quietly.'
I should have said that back there.
After hearing you talk, I'm getting afraid of the idea of marriage.
But President Cha... about your ex-wife.
She's probably hitting herself over the head in regret after seeing you today.
None at all.
You saw that he didn't feel sorry at all, didn't you?
If he spread those rumors around like that, shouldn't he say
'I'm sorry,' 'It's a misunderstanding'? Shouldn't he sincerely apologize?
You don't have any proof that he went around saying those things.
Jung Woo isn't even the type of person to do that!
You're probably misinformed.
Have you ever seen steam come out of a pot that isn't boiling?
Those rumors exist because he definitely said something!
Hey, but how did you know Jung Woo's number?
I tried calling his old number and he picked up.
He didn't change his number...
Oh my goodness, I looked like this?
I must be out of my mind!
You should have told me!
By any chance, was he waiting for you to call?
Are you nuts?
Why should I change my number when I didn't do anything wrong?
I got it. What are you getting so worked up for?
I was just asking.
Sounds like you have lingering feelings...
Lingering feelings?
I picked up without knowing who it was earlier!
Would I have done so if I knew?
I understand. I got it.
I erased her from my memories.
She's the error in my life. A mistake!
The biggest mistake of my life!
Who should be the one saying that?
'Let's both watch ourselves from now on then.'
Who's giving advice to whom?
But seeing him bail you out of jail late at night...
He's a man of loyalty.
Loyalty?
So he wouldn't come? Of course he should!
Or else he'd be dead meat...
He didn't have to come if he didn't want to.
It doesn't say anywhere that he had to.
You don't think that he's still clinging onto you, do you?
When Jung Woo came to the police station earlier...
It was like the Red Sea parted. Like he was unattainable.
Hey, but why are you taking Cha Jung Woo's side?
Are you his friend or mine?
No, it's just that when I saw Jung Woo... I felt sorry.
You have nothing to feel sorry about.
Because I'm going to become far, far more successful than him.
How?
How are you going to become far, far, far more successful than he is?
Looking at it realistically, that's sort of farfetched.
Honestly, what do we have to offer?
Men become bigger wolves as they get older.
They pick apart everything and don't dare think of pursuing crazy business ideas.
I felt a bit awkward when that doctor liked you.
- Your words are harsh. - Huh?
Isn't that right?
'Why would a man who has everything even look at you?'
That's what you're saying, isn't it?
No, I was just thinking of it practically...
Forget it, girl.
Where are you going?
She's got a mean temper.
Awful girl.
She's terrible at comforting people.
She turns on the air conditioner if there's already a draft!
What? She's not even coming after me.
What an awful girl!
But where do I go?
I heard that dry cleaner man is getting re-married?
It's not a re-marriage, but he's getting back together with his ex-wife.
'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't!'
After dating all these different women, he said he's better off with his ex-wife.
Life is hard on the woman after getting a divorce.
Well it's better to have an awful husband than to not have one!
An awful husband you say?
Do you know how rich the dry cleaner man is?
After they got divorced
all of his stocks went up and the cost of land increased tenfold!
He's totally rich now!
Goodness, that woman nearly got into big trouble!
She almost let that man slip through her fingers!
And you know what they say about when it rains, it pours?
Their marriage life has gotten a lot better now!
He closes the blinds just at the word!
The blinds!
Well, it isn't easy for affection to come about.
[Today's Horoscope]
'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.'
Get a hold of yourself. You're not thinking straight right now.
[Cha Jung Woo]
This year's entrepreneur has selected CEO Cha Jung Woo of D&T Soft Ventures.
Currently the stocks for D&T Soft Ventures increased by one percent.
The DONTALK mobile messenger application is drawing close to 30 million users.
There are reports that those numbers are growing rapidly.
A hard-headed leader of the mobile messenger company, Cha Jung Woo.
- What is this? - That's what I'm saying!
Why did you break up with him when he was poor?
You should have split up with him when he was rich.
- He's a governor. - He's totally rich.
I'm Cha Jung Woo.
I hope that something like this doesn't come up again in the future.
But you were whistling.
You were definitely whistling at the police station.
I heard that Tiger Woods gave his ex-wife 20 billion Won in alimony.
That's because Tiger Woods was to blame.
In any case...
how long you were married, the cause for divorce, dividing wealth.
That's a case by case thing.
I don't have a fault as a reason for divorce like that.
And that woman has no reason against me.
A man's actions shouldn't differ from his words.
Didn't you say that in a previous interview?
A person who grits his teeth in order to become successful.
If that person wasn't in your life, that you wouldn't be successful now.
You said that!
And that person was your ex-wife, wasn't it?
Ah, really...
Everything I say is right.
I definitely know my stuff.
I have something to say. Make some time.
Cha Jung Woo.
Ow!
I happen to be free today...
No, then it seems like I've been waiting for him to call.
Talk about what?
I'd like to meet today. Where should we meet?
I'll go to your office.
I happen to have business to attend to in Gangnam anyway
so I'll go to your office.
Fine.
Wait.
I don't have time to lay around like this.
Hey!
Shush!
I'm sorry.
Yes, watch out for the cold yourself, Manager.
- Done. - Your acting's great, sister!
How can you act so well?
You're pretty too. Why didn't you become a celebrity?
I couldn't hit the Gangnam nightclubs back when I was pretty.
I'd get hit on by all the men out there with each step that I took.
I couldn't even go out anywhere because I'd get hit on left and right.
Whenever I went out to the city, I would have to slam down my business card!
So you were really impressive!
But you must have something important today.
Seeing that you called out sick from work.
Yes, it's a very important appointment.
Where's the nearest department store?
CEO Cha, you have a guest.
Let her in.
Sit down.
This is your office?
Wow, it's nice.
This way.
Ah, what time is the lecture at Seoul University again?
4 PM, CEO Cha.
Please tell Driver Ki to prepare the car by 3 PM.
Understood.
I must have been picked as the most respected CEO amongst Seoul University students.
They asked me to do a lecture or something.
I'm not even good with words.
That's good for you.
Your school juniors must really be proud of you.
Well, I can't say that's untrue.
Thanks for coming to the police station yesterday.
You must have been busy but you came anyway.
That's all right. Those things can happen.
But...
What did you want to tell me?
I was surprised when I saw your text.
Surprised?
You didn't see it coming from the ruckus you caused yesterday?
The reason I asked to see you today was...
the alimony.
I felt awkward about it anyway.
I should have gave it to you and ended things sooner.
But as you already know, I didn't have the means to do it back then.
I put in a call to my attorney, and figured out what would be most fair.
I know that I didn't have to since you said you wouldn't take it.
But I don't know if someone like yourself will cause trouble again like last night.
So it would make me feel better if I gave it to you now.
You called me here to say that?
Yes.
And this, too.
[Contract]
It's kind of like a verification.
That you won't contact me again in the future about alimony...
or threaten me about it.
If you understand, then sign.
Cha Jung Woo.
You've really grown up.
A contract?
Why? You might as well have asked me to write an apology letter.
Am I some kind of snake?
That I'd sign this contract and take your money?
I don't know how much money you put in this envelope
but no matter how much you put in, it isn't enough.
When I think about how you ruined my life
it's more than this money. Do you know that?
So don't belittle me with this money.
Another thing.
I was grateful to you yesterday.
That's why I came.
I didn't have another ulterior motive.
A contract?
That jerk.
Ae Ra. Did you hear about Cha Jung Woo?
Soo Chul?
I came in yesterday, but that's not important right now.
Did you know that Cha Jung Woo is successful now?
Hey kid, don't be shocked.
Cha Jung Woo is totally rich now.
- In D&T Soft Ventures... - What?
What kind of trouble are you thinking of stirring up? What?
- What a temper. - Why are you asking?
Don't tell me and don't do it!
- Ah, really! - So why did you call her then?
What good news were you expecting?
What was our family doing while Jung Woo went and became rich?
That's why I can't stay away from this house for an hour!
You didn't call Jung Woo at all while I was in Vietnam, right?
Why would I call someone with whom I've already cut ties with!
It would just upset me.
That's the problem here.
You have to think of replacing the light bulbs and putting the broken pieces back together!
Do I have to do something about this?
Worry about your own future!
You said your business was doing fine in Vietnam but then you suddenly showed up!
That's because... the business is a secret.
In any case, I'll explain everything.
Don't ask.
Why are you trying to bring his hopes down?
Are you going to the gym?
You look much more fit!
All the women in this neighborhood want to touch my muscles anyway.
But I told them all that I'm already taken.
You're being ridiculous!
But, Father.
You've gotten a lot older while I've been gone.
Your hair's completely white.
- Goodness... - Sit down, sit down.
I'm already stressed out because of that thing...
I don't know how to live.
I think to myself, 'What's the point of living anyway?'
Is she going through menopause?
She says she can't stop crying!
Oh, it's all right!
You can fix it so that no one would even know.
You're turning 60 soon!
You can have a flower wreath to celebrate.
- I should, shouldn't I? - Yes, of course.
I already looked into a few places that sell them for cheap.
I don't have any money.
Soo Chul.
She really...
I haven't seen that coat before.
Yeah, I met up with someone.
Who?
Cha Jung Woo.
Jung Woo?
- Yeah. - When? Today?
Yeah. I came here after seeing him.
Why? Did he want to talk about what happened at the police station?
What did Jung Woo say?
There were a lot of things that were said.
It's kind of a long story.
- Could I sit down and tell you? - Oh sure, sure. Sit down.
Come here.
You didn't take that money?
I have my pride! I couldn't sign that contract and take the money!
Who knows if he apologized for yesterday and offered it with two hands?
Don't you think?
Well... well that is true.
But why didn't you see how much it was first?
I didn't because I thought I would waver if I did.
You know that I'm weak to money.
That is true.
What is that? You look disappointed.
No, I'm not disappointed.
Is... your friend's pride more important or is money more important?
Who... said anything?
Then don't give me that face.
I'm already regretting it anyway.
- You did well, girl! - Ow.
How dare he offer a contract?
It makes my blood boil!
Really?
Hey, you should eat up too.
Don't just cut them.
You awful girl.
You should eat!
Okay.
The apples taste good. What kind did you get?
Have you been well?
Sir?
- Please speak comfortably. - Should I then?
Wow, you look totally different seeing you here!
Back when you were dirt poor...
I mean, you look different from when you were in college.
You look really great!
How have you been?
I was... well, busy.
I was out of the country because of my business.
That's why I only found out now that you became successful!
I would have come to visit you sooner if I knew!
I'm sorry for the belated congratulations.
You understand, right?
Yes.
- I was going to call you anyway. - Call?
- Call me? - Yes.
Zero, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand...
hundred thousand, a million!
Hallelujah! Hallelu...
Oh.
My goodness.
Are you all right? Come with me.
Let go of me.
- Please get up. - I said let go of me.
As usual, you never admit that you lost.
You won.
Like you said, CEO Cha isn't your everyday kind of man.
I was about to ask him out.
A bet's a bet.
So Zeus is yours.
Did you say you're returning to America tomorrow?
Yeah, I'm not coming back for a while.
Let's keep in touch, okay?
I don't know. Were we that close?
Hey! We were still college roommates.
How could you have suddenly disappeared like that?
Ah, your husband said he's running for election soon.
I sent him something to help his campaign.
Thank you.
And...
Forget the horse. You don't have to give him to me.
I was curious how CEO Cha was going to respond too.
I got the answer I wanted.
Awful girl.
Did you have to change your major?
Couldn't you have done it as a hobby?
I'll say. I must take after my mother.
But is my father very angry?
He wouldn't kill his only son, right?
He wouldn't kill him...
- He could beat you enough, though. - If it weren't for you!
There wouldn't have been any problems.
But you know that if he found out another way, I'd be...
Hey, where are you going!
I'll go home when Yeo Jin gets off work!
I think it'll be better if she's around.
I won't run off somewhere, so don't worry!
Hey punk! Then I'm going to be beaten to death!
You didn't think of that!
What am I going to do about that punk?
What time are you getting off work?
It's okay, I'll wait.
Me?
I have tons of stuff to do.
Okay.
Welcome.
Cancel all of these immediately!
Who's Na Ae Ra around here?
You went to Cheongpyung a few days ago, right?
Excuse me?
- That's not it. - You're divorced.
Why? Did you get divorced because you flirted with a married man?
Look here!
What do you mean flirt?
It's true that I went, but I didn't know anything and...
Get your head on straight!
Don't fool around with your young body.
Jeez.
I added in enough for the end of this month.
Nothing good will come out of unnecessary rumors
so I hope that you'll wrap things up quickly.
Manager, this is unfair!
I got a call from the president.
The lady earlier was the president's friend.
Manager!
Hey, why can't I get a hold of you?
- Why? - You get off at 7 PM, right?
I'll come pick you up outside of your store...
- No don't come. - It's good news. Good news.
In any case don't come. I'm working outside.
I got it.
Hey, you said that you wanted to quit that job and run your own store, right?
Your brother can make that happen!
Oh, oh!
It's all right, but thank you.
Father!
You punk!
Ow, Father! Father!
Father, fine. Hit me as much as you like.
Just don't hit my face.
Mom will get worried if you hit my face.
I have to video call her later.
- You punk! - I deserved to be hit!
I acknowledge that, so just don't hit my face.
If you weren't my only son, how would I live?
Don't you have to at least be the airway for your father!
Wow, I was the airway to keep you breathing?
That's both touching and burdensome.
- You little punk... - Yeo Jin!
Did you come in together?
In any case, take responsibility for your brother, Yeo Jin.
Make your little brother into a man!
Visit that company often and keep an eye out!
Would you blink an eye Father, if I said I was seeing someone?
What?
Yeo Jin, this time I traveled all throughout Central and South America.
I dated that girl in Cuba.
That's Priscilla, whom I met dancing the samba in Brazil.
She's my friend from college. She got married in Mexico.
They got married after a week of meeting each other.
I took pictures of these kids, but they...
Mom's doing well, right?
Yeah, I think she's doing much better since she left for Paris.
But Yeo Jin.
You should give her a call sometime.
Would she be happy to hear from me?
Anyway, how's my tutor? Is he doing well?
You couldn't reject a request from an investor of your company.
And that son was appointed from the higher ups of the company.
I'm disappointed, Jung Woo.
You should have fired him no matter what Father said.
I was trusting you, Jung Woo.
It's not because it was an important request.
He was approved because he was capable.
Well if you put it that way...
I did show potential ever since I was young.
Because I taught you well.
Who was the one who taught an innocent middle schooler how to drink?
Who was the middle schooler who corrupted an innocent college student?
But soju was like an anesthetic for you.
You calmed down after I taught you how to drink.
I acknowledge that. I was immature back then.
It's a good thing I met you.
Cheers.
But Jung Woo.
That woman over there...
She keeps looking at me. What should I do?
She's looking at me.
- It's me. - It's me, I'm telling you.
She was looking at me while I was sitting here waiting for you.
Ah, seriously...
Be stubborn on something that's worth it. Want to bet?
Agreed.
What?
You're nervous because you just saw your first celebrity, right?
Oh, you're so cute!
Um...
So the thing is...
the gentleman over there would like a drink with you...
Who?
Honey, was this your play?
How childish.
Don't do things like that!
Don't do that!
Sit down!
Oh, really. Stay still!
Why is a man so shy?
Oh, really! How come your hands are so soft?
Jung Woo!
It's been a long time.
Ah, jeez!
Wait a minute. Wait!
Boss.
Why do you keep making me dig the ground?
You're starting to make me feel a little nervous.
Forget it, that's enough.
Ah, yes.
He says he's going to die. Bury him.
Boss!
Boss! Boss!
You thought if you took our money and ran off to Vietnam...
that we wouldn't be able to find you, right?
It's a worldwide era.
Our network spans the entire globe.
You'll be caught anywhere you run.
What shall we do with you?
These are the businessmen who will be attending the anniversary celebration.
We plan to follow with dinner immediately after the reception.
But there's something I'm curious about.
Why did you change the company's anniversary date?
It usually isn't on this day.
- That day is... - That day...
was the day heaven crossed into hell for me.
Mother.
Father!
I'm sorry.
Cha Jung Woo! You can't!
A life is a precious thing!
Cha Jung Woo! Cha Jung Woo!
You can't, Cha Jung Woo!
Calm down! Cha Jung Woo!
You can't! Cha Jung...
You can't!
Cha Jung... Oh my god.
This guy tried to drown himself, did he?
Is he Seung Hyun's tutor?
Is that you, Yeo Jin?
How long has it been, huh?
How much money does he need?
Your investment that you've allowed...
I... I won't accept it.
You're trying to take this to the end because you nearly died?
I didn't have an intention to die.
I was surprised.
Both the company and I were born again that day.
That's why I changed it to that day.
It's also the day we first met.
What's the occasion all of a sudden?
What's with your face?
I came to see you because you don't come visit home enough.
I'm busy so just tell me what you want.
By any chance...
The money that you ran off to Vietnam with...
Did you come to return that?
- What is this? - What else? It's money.
Really? It's really money?
It's five million Won.
What is this? Where'd you get this money?
What is it? Spit it out already!
Jung... Jung Woo gave it to me.
- What? - He says it's alimony.
He said you left it there.
Ow.
It's true!
I only went to see him because he called me over!
Believe me, Ae Ra.
So what? You went and asked for money?
Of course not! I would hit myself if I asked first!
I went, and it was like he was waiting for me and offered me the envelope.
He said that you didn't take it, so...
I thought about it, and you need money too.
I thought it was a matter of your pride.
What's the good thing about family?
- They do these things for you... - Who asked you to?
In... in any case, I'm... just delivering it to you.
- And... - And what?
What else is there?
- A delivery fee. - A delivery fee?
I took a little.
I did a lot of work too, didn't I?
Soo Chul, tell me.
How much did you get?
30 million Won?
300 million Won.
What? 300 million Won?
So out of 300 million Won, there's only 5 million Won left?
Don't give me excuses and hand it over. I'm going to give it back.
- Don't give me excuses. - I don't have it.
What do you mean? Where is it? Hand it over.
Even if I'm strapped, I can't accept that money.
I have to give it back to him, so where is it?
- Huh? - I don't have it. Really.
What do you mean you don't have it?
Ae Ra.
Go easy on me for once.
I got into a lot of debt because of my business in Vietnam.
And that guy wants to kill me!
I almost died, I'm telling you!
I couldn't live like that!
Ae Ra.
Since it's already come to this, let's think about it optimistically.
This 300 million Won to Jung Woo?
- That's nothing to him! - You won't shut up?
Get lost! Get lost, you jerk!
Get out of my life!
This is why I hate dealing with the men in our family!
Dad has mooched off of Mom all their lives.
And you've been mooching off of me all of my life!
Do you know what kind of money that is?
That jerk promised that he would make sure I would never have to work again!
He lied to me and then said he was sorry!
He said he was sorry because he lied!
He's giving me that money to stay out of his life! You know that?
But still... I had to sign a contract to get that money.
He said that I had to sign a contract!
So I didn't accept it because it was dirty and cheap!
But you accepted that money?
You took it?
Ae Ra.
Should I go up there or do you want to come down here?
There's a park outside the office. I'll meet you there.
All right.
[D&T Soft Ventures Third Year Anniversary February 14]
I don't have much time.
What did you want to talk to me about?
I'll keep it short.
I heard you gave money to my brother.
So it was about that?
I told you that I wouldn't accept it.
Why did you give that money to him and make me into a fool?
It's enough that you stuck to your pride once.
I thought you sent your brother on your behalf because you couldn't accept it.
Fine.
It doesn't matter if I accepted that money or if my brother did.
I took it.
I wasn't going to accept it just to make your life easier.
But I took it.
After I thought about it, there was no reason for me not to.
I'll use it well.
We're completely over now.
There won't be a need for us to see each other again in the future.
So we're going to each live our separate lives.
Isn't that right? I came here to tell you that.
Have a good life.
Hey Cha Jung Woo!
Let me ask you something.
Is your company's anniversary really February 14th?
If it was three years ago, that's the day we got divorced.
You really started this company on that day?
Ah, you didn't know?
Our company's first investment came in the day we got divorced.
What?
Isn't that something?
As soon as you were out of my life...
everything started to come together.
But still, you didn't keep in touch at all in that time?
Why do I have to be in touch with you?
- Don't you have a sense of loyalty? - Loyalty?
I simply did you a favor.
What?
Don't you remember?
Valentine's Day.
The day we broke up.
'Don't call me using alimony as an excuse.'
'Just quietly get out of my life.'
Don't call me using alimony as an excuse.
Just quietly... get out of my life.
That favor... I'll ask that of you this time.
Just quietly get out of my life.
Na Ae Ra.
Even if you come back to me because of money...
that wasn't love.
Cha Jung Woo, you jerk!
I'm going to crush you.
I'm going to destroy you!
