Cunning Single Lady
Did you or did you not say that I'd go to my previous husband's company to bleed shares and make a commotion?!
I did! So what?
But why is it you ahjumma?
Are you even the previous wife of of that company's president?
Are you even the previous wife?!
That's right!
I am the previous wife of that President. What do you want to do about it?
Jeong Woo.
You came?
Over there.
Ae Ra.
Over here.
He's here.
I'm called Cha Jeong Woo.
Ok, then...
You've both resolved your misunderstandings.
The treatment cost,
Na Ae Ra's side has agreed to pay them.
You've all agreed, right?
Know that your luck is good.
I'm only enduring this because I'm an intellectual.
Who should be saying that.
Aigoo, really!
Shall we start again?
Since it's all finished now,
you can all return (home).
Mr. Cha Jeong Woo also.
Yes.
President.
You divorced well.
Is that really the president of D&T Soft Venture?
I didn't know that it really was.
But why didn't he give her consolation compensation?
Listen.
Because you came when you were busy...
I hope that I never see you again
for this kind of matter.
That's the same for me.
Be careful so that some strange rumor doesn't make the rounds.
Why?!
Fine.
Then let's decide to live being careful of each other.
I should have just gone to jail.
What?
It's nothing.
What is it?!
I...thought she'd be very pretty.
Your previous wife.
She was pretty.
Back then, she was considered the Madonna of the Exam Village.
Oppa, why do you eat kimchi stew everyday?
Huh?
You always come alone and eat.
You must not have any friends.
Because I don't have any friends studying for the examinations.
You don't even go to law school, do you?
No.
Science and Engineering.
You came out of a school for Science and Engineering and
why do you study?
Can you take the examinations even if you graduate for Science and Engineering?
I'm preparing for technical examinations.
Is there something like that?
Well, study diligently.
Then not only was her face pretty, but her heart was pretty, too.
She believed in me more than anyone else, too.
But after I failed at business the person completely changed.
Hey, honey.
Honey, I am cold.
Your husband will freeze to death.
Yoboya('Hun=Honey' in Korean)
Hun~
Honey.
Honey! (using respectful speech)
Hon...
That's what happened.
Is that why
you didn't give her any consolation compensation?
What do you mean I didn't?
She is the one who refused to.
You don't know what she did at the end.
What do you want me to do about the alimony?
Do you even have the money to give?
I put my office out (on the market).
If I move outside, it still won't be much money.
It's fine.
How many cents are you trying to give me?
I won't take that kind of thing,
so don't contact me using that consolation compensation as an excuse.
Just quietly
buzz off from my life
Quietly, buzz off from my face.
I should of said it to her!
Now that I hear your story,
I'm really becoming afraid to get married.
Oh, but your previous wife,
she saw how you looked today,
so about right now, she'll probably be striking the ground and regretting it.
Not at all.
He wasn't sorry at all.
You saw it too, right?
If he went around spreading those false rumors, at the very least, "I'm sorry. It's a misunderstanding."
Shouldn't he have had the sincerity to make those kinds of apologies?
Hey.
There's no proof that Jeong Woo went around saying those things.
I mean, Jeong Woo isn't even the type of person to say that sort of thing.
There must have been some kind of misrepresentation.
Did you ever see smoke where there's no fire?
He must have gone around dripping something for that kind of rumor to be around.
Hey,
but how did you know Jeong Woo's phone number and call it?
I called his old number and he just answered it.
He didn't change his number.
I went around looking like this?
Oh, I must be crazy.
Oh, you should have told me.
Maybe..
He was waiting for your phone call?!
Are you crazy?
I haven't even committed a crime, so why change my number?
All right. Why are you getting so upset? I was just asking.
Like a person that has feelings left...
Feelings left?
Earlier when she called I didn't even know who it was and answered it.
If I knew would I have answered it?!
All right. All right.
I erased her from my memory a long time ago.
She is the ERROR in my life, the MISTAKE.
The worst mistake in my life!
Who should be saying that.
Let's be careful of each other as we live.
Who is warning whom?
But still if you see how he came running in the middle of the night saying that he's your previous husband,
Jeong Woo is a person that has loyalty.
Loyalty, my a**.
Then should he not come? Of course he should have come.
He would die (if he didn't).
He could not come if he made up his mind not to.
There's nothing that says that he absolutely has to come.
Do you by chance...
You don't still think that Jeong Woo can't move a muscle without your approval, do you? Huh?
When Jeong Woo was coming into the Police Station earlier,
his aura was just...
Oh, he became a person that we can't even hope to look at.
Hey.
Why are you taking Cha Jeong Woo's side since earlier?
Are you Cha Jeong Woo's friend or are you my friend?
No, I just...
When I saw Jeong Woo, I felt like it was such a waste.
There's nothing to feel wasteful about.
I'm going to become 'more, more , more, more,' better than him.
With what?
How are you going to become 'more, more, more, more, more' better than him?
That seems difficult, realistically.
Truthfully what do you and I have to look at?
As we get older men are more cunning. They calculate things you see and don't see so carefully,
and they never "do a business that loses money."
Even when that doctor said that he liked you,
something seemed a little sticky (off).
Your words have thorns in them.
What?
That's what you're saying. 'A seemingly perfect man that has everything,'
'why should he look at you?' That's what you're saying.
No, I just realistically...
That's enough, wench.
Where are you going?
That punk's temper.
Bad wench.
While she can't even comfort me, she's turning on the air conditioning in a heart with a hole in it.
What is it?
She's not even following me out.
Oh, that bad wench.
but where do I go?
I heard that the dry cleaner ahjussi is getting remarried?
He's not getting remarried, but
he's getting back together with his previous wife.
The devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
After he split from her and dated this woman and that woman,
he realized that his previous wife was still better.
The woman too realized that it was hard to live alone after divorcing...
That's true...Even a bad husband is better to have.
A bad husband?
Hey, the dry cleaner ahjussi is such a rich man.
And after they divorced, the multihousing unit he'd bought got redeveloped and the land value jumped up ten times in value.
He's a right proper rich guy.
It could've been a really big deal.
She might have lost that kind of husband.
And on top of that, just like things are better after it rains,
their married couple relationship got so much better.
These days they close the shutters at the drop of a hat.
"They're making rice cakes."
It's not easy for a person to break that connection.
The person with experience is better than one without?
Come to your senses. You're not in your right mind right now.
The businessman selected this time was CEO Cha Jeong Woo of D & T Soft Ventures.
At this time, D & T Soft Venture's stock value is estimated to be over 1 trillion won.
There are about 30 million mobile members.
And the fact that the numbers are increasing played a big role in the award selection.
CEO Cha, who has caused a whirlwind in a saturated mobile texting companies...
What is this?
So why did you break up when he was poor?
You should split up when he's rich.
The devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
He was a rich man.
I'm called Cha Jeong Woo.
I hope something like this doesn't happen again.
But he acted so cold.
At the police station, he was definitely cold.
They say that Tiger Woods gave his ex-wife 20 Million dollars consolation compensation.
Well that was because Tiger Woods had his own troublesome reason.
Anyway, the length of the marriage, cause for the divorce, one's wealth, among other things
well, it changes according to those things, but...
I don't have that kind of troublesome reason.
She hasn't contributed in any way [financially].
Hey, a man can't say two things with one mouth.
Didn't you say so at your last interview?
The person who made you grit your teeth determined to succeed.
That if it wasn't for thay person,
you wouldn't be as successful as you are today.
You said that.
That person was yesterday's previous wife.
It's true, isn't it.
Ah, really.
Every word that I say is just right.
I'm definitely capable.
I have something to say.
Make some time.
Cha Jeong Woo.
Fortunately I'm ok today (to meet).
No, then it seems like I was waiting for him to call all this time.
What do you want to tell me?
See me today.
Where shall we meet?
I'll go to your company.
Luckily, I have something to take care of in Gangnam.
I'll go to your company.
Okay.
Wait...
Then this is not the time to be like this...
Hey!
I'm sorry.
Yes.
You be careful of catching a cold too, Manager.
Oh wow. Unnie, your acting is the best.
How can you act so well?
Your face is pretty too.
You should have become a talent.
When I was very pretty (younger) I couldn't go about Gangnam properly.
Every time I took a step forward I received a business card from a contract company.
It was so annoying that I couldn't even walk around.
If went to the city once I could play cards with the business cards (I collected).
Unnie, you must have totally been so popular.
But it looks like you have an important meeting today
to be exaggerating to your company like this and go.
Yes.
It's a very important appointment.
Where is the nearest department store?
Representative, you have a guest.
Call them in.
Have a seat.
Is this your office?
It's nice.
This way.
Oh, what time did you say the lecture was for Seoul University?
This afternoon at 4 O'clock, Sir.
Tell Driver Kim to ready the car by 3pm.
Okay.
They say that I got chosen as the CEO that college students most respect.
They're asking me to lecture.
And that to a person that doesn't have speaking ability.
That's good.
Your junior must be proud of you.
Well, I can't say that isn't so.
Thank you for yesterday at the police station.
For coming when you would've been busy.
It's fine.
That could happen.
However...
what is it you wanted to tell me?
I was surprised at the text.
Surprised?
After the ruckus you caused, you didn't think of that?
The reason I asked you to come see me,
The consolation compensation.
Anyway, it bothered me.
I should have finished it after giving you what I should have.
As you know at that time I didn't have the experience
or the means.
After speaking to a lawyer I put in what is the generally accepted amount.
Of course there's no reason to give you what you said you wouldn't accept,
but the woman that you are,
like last night I don't when you might make another commotion like that again.
Rather, I thought that giving it to you would set my mind at ease.
You called me to say that?
Yes.
Ah, and this.
It's a confirmation document. Contract
Saying that you won't contact me again using the consolation compensation as an excuse or threat.
I thought it would be good to write one.
Cha Jeong Woo, you've really grown.
A contract?
Why? Why don't you ask me to write you an apology/repentance letter?
Am I some kind of gold digger?
To write this kind of contract and rip off your money?
You...I don't know how much you put in this envelope, but
no matter how much money you put in it's not enough.
If I think of my life that went wrong because of you,
even a billion isn't enough. Do you know?
So, don't look at a person laughably with a few bucks.
And also, I was thankful to you for yesterday.
That's why I came.
Not because I had a different reason.
A contract?
This bastard.
Ae Ra, have you heard the news about Husband Cha?
Oppa?
I came in yesterday. Anyway, that isn't important.
Do you know your ex has become really big?
Hey, don't be surprised.
Cha Jeong Woo's become totally rich.
D&T Soft Ventures,
WHY?! Oppa, what trouble are you trying to get in? Why, why, why.
-This temper of hers. -Why are you asking that? What did you do now?!
Ah, really!
Why did you call her?
What's so good about the news?
While Husband Cha was becoming a Chaebol (wealthy conglomerate family) what were we doing?
This is why I can't leave the house for a minute.
While I was in Vietnam, you didn't call Husband Cha once, did you?
Why should I call a person that's already split off from us?
Only heartache would come of it.
This is why it's a problem.
Even lights that are out should be looked at again and broken couples have to think to be put back together again.
Aiyoo, is this something I have to step forward with?
You take care of yourself.
You said that the business in Vietnam was going well, but why did you so suddenly come back?
That's a top secret for the business.
Anyway, I'll tell you slowly.
Don't ask.
Why do you kill a boy's spirit?
Did you come back from the health club?
Your body looks good!
The women of this neighborhood go around saying that they want to touch my muscles...
I had to cut them right off and tell them that I was Soo Cheol's man.
You're funny.
And Father,
you've really aged while I wasn't here.
Your hair got so white.
Sit down.
Because of that these days
I just don't feel like living anymore.
I wonder why I'm living like this.
I don't know if the critical stage of my life has come.
Only tears just keep coming out.
Ah, it's fine.
If you do a hair transplant, you won't even notice.
Father, it's going to be your 60th birthday very soon,
you can do it as a commemoration.
I should, right?
Of course.
Even so, I looked into a place that does it for cheap...
I have no money.
Soo Cheol.
Really...
It's clothes I haven't seen before.
I went to meet someone.
Who?
Cha Jeong Woo.
Jeong Woo?
Yes.
When? Today?
Yes. I just met him.
Why, why?
Did he by chance call you to ask you about the police station matter?
What did he say?
There a lot of words back and forth.
If I tell you, it's a long story.
Can I sit down and tell you about it?
Yes, of course! Let's sit down and talk.
You didn't accept that money?
I have my pride.
I can't accept it while even writing a contract.
If he was begging on his hands and knees and fairly raising it up to me I don't know.
Isn't that so?
That is true...
Even so, you should have seen how much it was.
I thought I'd waver if I saw it, so I didn't look.
You know so too.
That I'm weak when it comes to money.
That is true...
What?
Why the disappointed face?
No. Disappointment...
Is your friends pride important or is the money important?
Did I say anything?
Then don't make that face.
I'm regretting it anyway.
You did well, girl!
A Memorandum? What memorandum?
My insides all all relieved.
Really?
Hey, you eat too.
This girl...
You eat!
The apple is delicious. Where did you buy it from?
How have you been? (Informal)
Yo. (Formal ending)
Talk comfortably.
Shall I?
Seeing you here, you look completely different.
Your pathetic look...
I mean that prestigious look is still about you, and
You've become very bright.
How have you been doing?
Me? Well, I've been busy...
I was outside (the country) doing business.
That's why I only found out about your success.
If I knew earlier, I would've come much faster!
Sorry for the late congratulations.
You understand, right?
Yes.
I was going to call you anyway.
Call?
Me?
Yes.
Ten, hundred, thousand, hundred thousand, a million!
Hallelujah.
Hallelu...
Oh my.
Are you okay?
Let go.
Get up please.
I said to let go of me.
You don't talk about losing.
You won.
Like you said, Represenataive Cha isn't an ordinary man.
I almost actually came on to him.
Anyway, A bet is a bet so
Jae Woo is yours now.
Are you going back to America tomorrow?
If I go I'm not going to come back in for a little while.
Let's live calling each other.
I'm not sure.
Were we that close?
But still we were college roommates in our day.
How can you disappear so suddenly like that?
Undersecretary of State [for Economic Affairs]...
I heard he's going out for the election.
To assist in his election,
I sent him something.
Thank you.
And also,
I don't need the horse.
You don't have to give him to me.
Seeing how President Cha would come out,
I was really quite curious.
I got the answer that I wanted.
Bitch...
Did you have to change your major like that?
Couldn't you have just done it as a hobby?
Well,
I must take after mum.
Father, are you really angry at me?
You wouldn't kill your only son, right?
I might not kill you,
but you may get hit almost til to the point of death.
If it weren't for you,
There was no problem.
You know.
If he found out through some other route then I...
Hey! Where are you going?
When Noona gets off work, I'll come home with her.
Any way I look at it, it seems like it'll go better if Noona is there.
I won't run away,
so don't worry!
Hey, man. Then, I'm the one who'll bite the bullet.
Don't you think of me?
Aish, this brat.
Noona. When are you getting off work?
It's fine. I'll wait.
Me?
I have a lot of things to do.
Hello.
These- return these right now.
Who is Na Ae Ra here?
You. Not long ago you went to ChungPyeon, right?
Sorry?
-It's not that. -You...
I heard you're divorced.
Why? While shaking your tail at another man,
were you divorced?
No! Look here!
Shaking my tail?
That I went there is correct, but
I really didn't know anything-
You, get your head on straight and live.
A young thing trusting only in her body,
don't play around.
I put it in calculating until the end of the month.
There's nothing good if rumors start,
so I'd appreciate it if you left right away.
Manager, it's unfair.
I got a call from the President.
That woman form earlier is President's friend.
Manager!
Hey, why won't you answer your phone?
-what is it? -You got off work already, right?
I'll go to the front of your shop now...
No, don't come.
It's something good.
Anyway, don't come. I've gone.
Okay.
Hey, at that time you said you'd like to quit your job,
and run a store, right?
This Oppa will make it happen.
I'm fine, but thank you.
Father!
You punk!
Ah, ah, father. Father!
Okay, hit me all you like.
Just not my face.
If I get hurt in the face Mom will worry.
I have to video call with Mom.
Hey, you punk! I know I deserve to get hit in this situation.
I admit it, so hit me anywhere but my face.
How dare you not listen to me and run around!
How can I live?!
You have to at least leave a hole for this father
to breathe through?!
Wow, was I the hole that you breathed through?
I feel emotional but at the same time suddenly burdened...Noona! You damn punk!
Did you come together?
Anyway, you take responsibility for Yeo Jin,
and you make your brother a person!
Have him frequent the company too
and watch him too.
That I make him a person,
would I be filled in your eyes?
Noona, I toured around Central and South America.
She's a girl I dated in Cuba.
And she's a girl I met at Samba Festival in Brazil named Pricilla.
And this is my friend from college.
They got married in Mexico.
They married within one week of meeting.
These kids, while I was taking their pictures, the kids there...
Mom is well, right?
Yeah.
I think she's gotten a lot better since she went to Paris.
But, sis, call mom.
Would she be happy to hear from me?
How's our master (tutor)? Is he doing well?
You couldn't refuse the request of the company's investor,
and you picked that son as a Nakasan. (Nakhasan, meaning parachute ~Nepotism)
It's a disappointment Hyung.
Even if Father said something you should have cut him off.
I was only trusting in you.
It's not because I received the request.
I Ok'd it because you had potential.
Aiyoo, if you say it like that then...
That's true. I did have some smarts since I was young.
Because I taught you well.
Who was the tutor that taught a naive middle schooler about alcohol?
Who was the passionate middle schooler that was enraptured with a naive college student?
At that time the soju was an anesthetic to you.
You calmed down a little after you learned soju from me.
I admit it. At that time I was a little immature.
It's a relief that I met you then Hyung.
Cheers.
But hyung, over there that woman
She keeps looking at me since earlier. What do I do?
She's looking at me.
It's me. I'm telling you it's me.
She was looking at me all along since I got here and was waiting for you.
Ai, really.
Argue something you should.
Do you want to make a bet?
Deal.
Why?
You're trembling because it's the first time you've seen a celebrity, huh?
Omo, so cute.
Oh, I...
The thing is...
The gentleman would like to have a drink with you.
Who?
Picking up women this way,
It's childish.
Then, DON'T DO THAT.
DON'T DO THAT.
First, sit down. Oh, really.
Aiyoo, sit still.
You're so shy for a man.
Oh, seriously.
Why is your skin so soft?
Oh hey, you're good looking.
It's been a long time.
Wait. Hyungnims. Hyungnims.
Hyungnim.
Why do you keep asking me to dig the ground?
Your tension building tact is quite heavy.
That's enough. Stop.
Ah. Ah yes.
He's going to sleep. Cover him.
Oh wait. Please.
Hyungnim, hyungnim! Why do you do this, hyungnim?
You took our money.
Did you think that if you ran away from Vietnam that we couldn't follow you?
It's a global age.
Our branches are embedded all over the world.
No matter where you go,
you'll get caught.
What should we do?
This is the list of executives who will be in attendance at the anniversary celebration.
Once the reception is finished we're planning to go right into the dinner.
But... there's something I'm curious about.
Why did you change the day of the higher officer's memorial?
It's not originally this day.
This day... That day was
the day where Heaven was replaced with Hell.
Mother.
Dad!
I'm sorry.
Mr. Cha Jeong, don't!
Your life is a precious thing!
Mr. Cha Jeong. Mr. Cha Jeong. Don't!
Mr. Cha Jeong Woo! Leave this path!
Mr. Cha Jeong, don't!
M-Mr. Cha Jeong, don't.
Mr. Cha-
Oh, of all things.
How could a man not have a strong will?
Is this the tutor that Seung Hyeon requested?
Yeo Jin,
how long has it been?
Look here. How much money do you need?
An investment with conditions attached,
I won't accept it.
A guy that's almost dead...we see all kind of things, don't we?
I had no intention of dying.
It's because I was so completely surprised.
At that time I and the company were both reborn.
That's why I changed it to this day.
It's also the day we first met.
What is it all of a sudden?
What happened to your face?
Because you don't come home often
Oppa came to see you.
I don't have time so just get to the point.
Could it be...
Before you left for Vietnam, the one room deposit that you took and ran away with.
Did you come here to throw it up.
What is this?
Obviously, it's money.
Really?
Is it really money?
It's $500.
What is it? Where did you get this?
What is it? Say it quickly.
Brother-in-Law gave it to me.
What? He said that it was the consolation compensation.
because he said that you left it.
For real.
I only went because he called me there.
Why won't you believe me?
And so, did you ask for money when you went there?
No!
If I had asked for anything, I would have been struck by lightening.
When I got there, he put an envelope out as if he had been waiting to.
He said that you wouldn't take it.
Think about it carefully. You need money too.
To do that over your pride,
what good is family for?
To help you out in times like this,
Who asked you to do that?
In any case, I'm just giving it to you.
And
And what?
What! What! What more is there?
That's, well, a handling fee.
A handling fee?
I took a slight amount from it.
After all, I did do some work in getting it.
Oppa, tell me clearly.
How much did you get?
Three thousand?
Three billion.
What? Three billion?
Wait, so you got three billion and five hundred is left?
Don't say anything more and just give it here. I'm going to return it to him.
-Quit messing around. -I don't have it.
What do you mean you don't have it? Where is it? Give it to me now.
No matter how much you abuse me, I can't take that money.
I'll give it back to him, so hurry up and give it, where is it?
I don't have the money, honestly.
You don't have it?
Ae Ra,
please let it go this once.
While I was in Vietnam running my business I had to borrow some money, but
those guys wanted to kill me!
I'm telling you that I almost died!
I just couldn't live like that.
Ae Ra,
Since it's already happened, let's look on the bright side.
To someone like him, this three million?
It's not even money to him.
Can you really not shut your mouth?
Get lost! Get lost, you!
Just get out of my life!
This is why I don't like the men in our family!
Dad constantly sucks Mom dry,
and Oppa do your part to take what you can.
Do you know what kind of money that is?
That punk promised me that he'd never make me work in my life,
which he lied about and feels sorry.
He lied and feels bad about it!
He gave it to me to get lost! Do you get it?
But that,
I'd have to sign an agreement,
he'd give it to me if I signed an agreement.
That's why I didn't take it, because he was so dirty and petty!
But you took that money! That money!
Should I go up or do you want to come down?
There's a park in front of the office. I'll see you there.
Okay.
D&T Soft Ventures. 3 year Establishment Anniversary.
Friday February 14, 2014. Golden Tree Hotel Garden Square.
I don't have time.
What is it you wanted to say.
I won't talk long.
You gave money to my brother.
So it was that after all.
I told you that I wouldn't accept it.
Why did you uselessly give my brother and make a person the fool?
If you raised your pride once that's enough.
I thought that you had sent him because you were embarrassed to accept it yourself.
Fine.
Whether I took it or my Oppa took it,
Anyway, okay, I accepted it.
I didn't want to take it and let your mind be comfortable, so I wasn't going to accept it,
but I took it.
When I think about it, there's no reason not to take it.
I'll use it thankfully and well.
With this everything between us truly ends.
There won't be any reason to see you again so
You live your life, and I'll live my life. Alright?
I came because I wanted to say this to you.
Eat well and Live well.
Hey Cha Jeong Woo!
Let me ask you one last thing.
The Company establishment Anniversary, is February 14th right?
If it's 3 years ago, that day is the day we divorced.
You really made this company on that day.
Oh, you didn't know, did you?
As soon as I divorced you, that very day a large investment came in.
What?
Isn't it so incredible?
As soon as you got out of my life,
work just flowed amazingly.
Even then, you didn't contact me all this time?
Why should I have called you?
Don't you have any loyalty?
Loyalty?
I only listened to your request.
What?
Don't you remember?
Valentine's day.
The day we broke up.
"Don't use alimony as an excuse to call me."
"Just leave my life quietly."
Don't use alimony as an excuse to call me.
Just quietly,
Buzz off from my life.
I'll make that request
this time.
Quietly get out of my life.
Na Ae Ra.
Even if you had come back because of the money,
it probably wasn't love.
Cha Jeong Woo, you son of a b!%@$.
I'm going to crush you.
I said that I'm going to crush you.

Who asked you for money?
I'm most thankful for then.
You should have at least told me.
It's the most precious thing I learned from working.
Do you express your admiration with phit, phut, pht?
What's so cool about him?
Where the responsibility lies this time, we will definitely assign blame before we continue.
No matter what, I can't give up on myself.
And what is all this?
Didn't you know that you'll leave a record if you go in?
Is it all over now?
