[Episode 39]
Doctor, how are the results?
Kang Se-na.
Congratulations.
You're pregnant.
Do you believe me now?
I don't know how to tell a lie.
I'll contact you again.
Love?
That isn't important to me at all.
I live only to fulfill my ambition.
It doesn't matter who the father is.
The child in my womb belongs to me alone.
We'll have to discard all of the pieces...
produced with the faulty plans.
Why, that...! Koo Kang-mo!
He's finally done it this time!
He asks me for one last opportunity,
and he ends up creating this mess?
You're not better than him yourself!
I apologize.
I told you to disband that worthless TF team ages ago!
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize, and take care of this mess.
Get out.
Yes, sir.
Get Manager Kang of Product Development in here.
Yea, it looks like Jin Song-ah...
will be leaving on her own two feet now.
If she refuses to leave,
the other employees will have issues with it.
With this incident,
she's public enemy number one.
Once you get rid of Jin Song-ah,
you'll no longer have to worry...
about Director Hong's embezzlement issues.
I was fortunate to have you on my side.
Without Gun-woo, I was wondering who would clean up after me.
Now that I see you,
you're much more reliable...
than most men I've hired in the past.
Thank you for your kind words.
So we're done here. You can go now.
Chairman.
Yea?
Don't you have anything else you want to say to me?
You will be properly rewarded...
for your work.
Don't you worry.
I'll have a special bonus prepared for you.
I don't need money.
I desire something else.
And what is that?
I want to become your daughter-in-law.
I see that you're rather confused.
Did you join my side...
with the ultimate intention...
of joining my family?
Consider it as my boundless ambition.
I wouldn't have cleaned up after your dangerous past without plans for myself.
It's always the small fries...
who have a hard time knowing their place.
Manager Kang.
If you're too greedy,
you can end up getting burned.
To be honest, I have your...
If you open that mouth of yours,
I won't hold back any longer!
Will our team be disbanded?
Is it all over for us?
Don't say that.
It's not over until it's over.
How were the blueprints mixed up?
I don't understand how this could've happened.
I'm sorry.
Don't say that.
This isn't your fault.
I think there was some sort of mix-up.
I'm the one who handed the plans to the production manager.
And I'm the one who gave you those plans.
I should've double-checked the plans,
so I'm at fault, too.
Ra-bong, it's time to eat.
Please sit here.
What do you think you're doing?
Who's the one who fed you and tucked you in at night?
You ignore your own mother...
and take care of this lady?
Mom, don't get the wrong idea.
This lady isn't feeling well right now.
I may look fine on the outside,
but I'm dying on the inside.
And I called you my daughter...
I can't believe that despite my stunning looks,
I didn't get remarried for your sake,
you ingrate!
Boss, you should try some of this.
What?
Say ah...
If you insist...
My friend from Gunsan!
You and your friend from Gunsan...
Are you that forgetful?
Oh, I forgot.
Mrs. Bong's Chicken.
Does it taste good?
Not at all.
The best wraps involve the right amount of ssamjang.
But you didn't put enough in there.
Seriously...
Mom.
Are you feeling sick?
So Manager Kang is really pregnant?
What are we going to do?
We can't drive away a woman with a baby.
Kang-min had such a bright future ahead of him,
and Kang Se-na is trying to take it all away.
What are we going to do...
What are we going to do!
What's this all about? Why are you crying?
Honey...
Honey, Honey, Honey...
I'm sorry.
I don't want to hear it.
I expected this from Kang-mo,
but I never expected this from you.
Honey, does this mean that the engagement...
with the Jeil Group is off?
Why don't you stop jumping to conclusions?
Manager Kang's been acting strangely.
She's been acting like she has something to hide.
That's why you shouldn't open up to just anyone!
I know.
I don't know why I wanted her as my daughter-in-law.
I wish I can take everything back.
Now that she's pregnant,
she won't let this go so easily.
Sometimes the best defense...
is a good offense.
We need to be forceful with her,
so that she won't get any other ideas.
We need to talk about this.
He's never caused us any trouble,
so who knew this would happen?
I'll talk to him.
It's a good thing that we only had two sons.
How did my mom manage to raise eight children?
Mother, I respect you!
Bro, I really don't remember a thing.
I think there was something wrong with my drink.
What are you saying?
I started feeling hazy as soon as I took a sip,
and I don't remember anything at all.
It felt like I was under a spell.
Bro, I hate myself for this.
Forget about that day.
It's water under the bridge.
Hyun-ah is the only one for me.
I feel so bad to Hyun-ah that this happened.
But Manager Kang has my child now...
I think I'm going crazy.
You have to remain rational.
[Re: Mr. Koo, son of the JH Group...
and his female employee have an affair]
[To: Lee Chul-soo]
Goodness...
You shouldn't stay in the shower for too long.
I thought you'd know better than to waste water.
People will think that you're taking baths in the morning.
I'm sorry.
Oh, and I'll expect your family...
to keep the bathroom and the outside court clean.
There are only two of us, and there are three of you.
Your family uses the bathroom more often.
I understand.
You look like you have a problem with me.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Miss, you should get going.
Yes, excuse me...
Mom, what's the matter with you?
What's so great about being the owner of this shack?
I'm reminded of the days when we used to rent.
So what?
I realize that Se-na is mean because she takes after you.
Don't you ever say that!
It's true that I have a temper,
but I'm not heartless like she is.
You're mean to Do-joon's family,
but at least you invited them in.
Compared to that, Se-na's a witch.
Why are you beating on me so early in the morning?
Stop talking about Se-na.
Love her or hate her, she's still my niece.
I've gotten used to her living here,
and I feel empty now that she's gone.
You used to fight with her non-stop.
We may have seemed like enemies,
but there's no denying that we're family.
Then no matter what I do,
you can never abandon me.
Don't make me laugh.
I'm prepared to disown my own child if I feel like it.
So stay sharp and do a good job.
I'm giving you a warning.
You're ignoring me now?
Do you have something to say?
I heard that you submitted the wrong plans to the production manager.
How did you make such a big mistake?
People were talking about disbanding the TF team as it is.
If the team is disbanded, this will be your fault.
Do you find pleasure in my pain?
Taunting a person who feels like crying and acting like you care about them...
That's really evil.
You've got it twisted.
Everyone knows that you messed up.
Shouldn't a professional own up to her own mistake?
What are you saying?
I'm telling you to leave the company.
What did you say?
You can't do anything right,
and you're a liability for the company.
You and your mother are both useless people in this company.
What?
Do you have anything else to say to me?
I thought you were my friend.
Is this how what you consider a friendship?
You're starting to frighten me.
Don't act so weak.
It looks to me like your troubles are only beginning.
You should prepare yourself.
Why are you saying that to me?
Because we were friends.
In the past.
[Mr. Koo, the son of the JH Group...
and his employee caught at the hotel!]
Look at this, look at this!
It's an article about the son of the JH Group...
and his employee being caught at a hotel!
Who do you think the employee is?
Oh, you're right!
I didn't see Manager Koo like this...
Chairman.
The more you have to hide,
the easier you fall to rumors.
As long as I have this,
I control the chairman.
Kang-min,
you're going to marry Ji-soo...
of the Jeil Group next month.
Father.
I'm not asking for your opinion.
This is an order!
Do as I tell you.
Yes, sir.
And Koo Kang-mo, you...
As of now, the TF team is no more.
Father.
I'm not done talking yet!
Jin Song-ah is fired.
And as far as the losses from the production,
the company will be charging Jin Song-ah directly.
Father!
This is nonsense!
Enough.
You can leave now.
The faulty filter units add up to $100,000 in losses.
The JH Group contends that you're responsible...
for 70% of the losses.
What did you say?
I don't have that kind of money!
Your financial situation is none of our concern.
I'm obligated to inform you of our legal actions.
Now, if you'll excuse me...
Are you okay?
I need to go somewhere.
To where?
I need to meet with the chairman.
It's no use.
I'm upset that I was fired, but more urgently,
I don't have that kind of money.
And what do you plan to say to him?
You won't beat him with conviction alone.
Why aren't you taking care of things back at home?
I'm not out here enjoying myself.
I had the hardest time convincing Ji-soo's mother...
that the tabloids were only rumors.
Honey.
Children are useless, am I right?
What are you talking about?
My children are the ones...
to take over this empire when I'm gone.
Don't get sidetracked...
and focus on Kang-min's marriage.
What are you going to do about Manager Kang?
Still, it's our very first grandchild,
so we'll have to take responsibility.
Honey.
Alright.
I'm leaving.
I'm going...
Chairman.
I'm busy. Let's talk later.
This incident wasn't entirely my fault.
I was victimized as well.
I don't understand why this is happening to me.
Didn't Director Hong teach you about this?
The company is a jungle.
It's a minefield,
ready to explode at every turn.
You should've been more careful.
If I get fired,
there's no way that my family will survive.
Please give me one more chance.
Don't resent me.
When you step on a landmine,
sometimes it's best to lie in place for a while.
Come out.
Get a grip!
Even if the sky falls, there will always be a way out.
I don't know why these things keep happening to me.
With what's happened to Hyun-ah and my mom,
I feel like I'm sinking in quicksand.
The more I struggle to survive,
the deeper I get stuck.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Song-ah.
I'm sure it feels like you're walking in the dark.
You're probably afraid.
But if you keep walking,
you'll find your path.
I'll walk along your side.
Mom, does it feel better now that we've washed your hair?
Yea, it's nice.
You're a good daughter.
Are you done?
Huh?
Yes.
I like it.
Thanks.
I'm going to drink some water.
Stay here.
I'll go and get it for you.
No, it's alright.
I can still get myself some water.
Hyun-ah.
What would you do in my situation?
It'll be fine.
I'll be cheering you on, Sis.
Fighting!
We'll be announcing Kang-min's marriage today.
We're fortunate that Chairman Yoon...
was willing to overlook the tabloid fiasco.
If he wasn't so forgiving, it would've been much worse.
Let's do our best...
to endure this hardship.
Right, you're right.
You are absolutely correct.
Kang-min.
Yes.
You're responsible for this.
I couldn't think of any other way.
You've arrived?
Did you prepare the pictures of Manager Koo and Yoon Ji-soo?
They've never taken a picture together.
I guess we'll put them together.
That's what we'll do.
Chairman Koo,
you'd better refrain from announcing this wedding!
[JH Group Emergency Press Conference]
I don't want any discoloration.
I understand.
Yea, we're finished here.
I have something to say, Chairman.
I'm a little busy right now.
Let's talk later.
Please sit down.
If you don't listen to me,
you'll end up regretting it.
I've had enough of your insolence.
Do you want to give up this company?
What did you say?
President Jin died from an accident 12 years ago,
am I right?
You should've lived quietly.
How dare you oppose me.
Follow your husband gently into the afterlife.
I don't want to hurt you like I had to hurt Jung-han.
Are you blackmailing me?
I guess you haven't learned to trust me yet.
I believe that our compromise...
will ensure both of our survival.
Manager Kang,
do I look...
like someone you can manipulate?
After watching this,
don't you realize what kind of person I am?
You don't scare me.
Because I have nothing to lose.
But the moment I release this footage,
you'll crash and burn.
You will have climbed your entire life...
to see it all crumble in an instant.
Make your decision.
The moment I leave this room,
your life will never be the same again.
Don't do this.
I'll take responsibility.
This isn't your fault, Chief.
I'll take responsibility for the mistakes of my employees.
You've always been a great boss to me.
Thanks for everything you've done.
[JH Group Emergency Press Conference]
Manager Koo Kang-min and I fell in love while working together.
But as an employee,
I never imagined that I'd end up marrying him.
Marriage is fulfilled through love, not material things.
Chairman Koo, you've always been a philanthropist,
but I see that your noblesse oblige extends to your sons as well.
I guess that's true.
Miss Kang Se-na.
How does it feel to be a real-life Cinderella?
People probably think I'm very fortunate.
But I've gotten to where I am...
with my own will and determination.
And I plan to keep running forward.
Kang Se-na!
