Episode 12
We have trouble, Mr. Vice Chairman.
I urged him to go, and wanted the two of you to be truly happy.
But what was reality?
If you had given him your heart, trusted and relied on him,
I wouldn't have hung onto him like this.
I would have easily given him up as well.
You were like a prison cell to him, and every day,
he had to endure your coldness.
No.
Vice Chairman Lee Jeong Hoon earned a lot from this marriage.
It was Lee Jeong Hoon's intent to abandon you and choose the Myung Jin Group.
Are you saying that he decided to marry just because you pushed him into it?
You still don't know, do you?
Jeong Hoon didn't marry you for the Myung Jin Group.
I guess you really don't know anything at all?
What?
When you and your first love Kim Yoo Suk were involved in the accident,
and you briefly suffered from amnesia, Lee Jeong Hoon had no choice.
The former Chairman had offered to cure his mother's illness. He no choice but to marry you.
Your father agreed to help cure Jeong Hoon's mother overseas,
on condition that he married you,
a woman who was pregnant and suffering from amnesia.
In return for curing his mother, to take his daughter.
You've lived with him for 30 years, and yet you don't even know this?
Do you really think Lee Jeong Hoon, if he had really wanted Myung Jin Group only,
could have tolerated everything that you put him through?
Do you think that such a smart man would have endured being your servant boy?
For the sake of his mother, he threw away everything.
He is a filial son.
So...
Are you saying your love is free from sin?
How despicable!
Hye Jung, I think it's best if you leave.
Don't make her go!
Everything is about to come out.
I need to hear everything!
Please, just leave!
There will be no compromise!
Even if you both kneel down and beg,
this war will not end.
You have deceived me all these years.
Yet now, you're making those ridiculous excuses?
While I suffered from bitter loneliness and trying very hard to adjust to life,
the two of you scoffed at me, had a child, and lived a happy life, didn't you?!
I'll pay it all back.
While I suffered from bitter loneliness and sleepless nights,
the two of you were enjoying your honeymoon and deceiving me!
I'll never forgive you.
- Dear... - Eun Hye Jung, you...
you are guilty of bringing down our company's image with you.
Also, your violating of the conditions of our contract warrants legal action.
You should be prepared.
And Lee Jeong Hoon, you...
You are to do your best as Lee Min Soo's legal father,
and help me shine as my supporting actor until the day you die.
What?
You're telling him to live forever as your servant,
after all he's done to help your company grow?
That can't happen!
If that's the case,
just get a divorce!
Divorce?
Divorce?!
For whose sake?
There will be no such thing as a divorce for you.
Chain yourself to me..
until the day you die.
You've done enough by buying and exploiting him. Who are you to chain him?
Please, that's enough!
Both of you, I beg.
Hye Jung, please go.
And as for you...
I ask that you forgive me.
Oppa!
You already have your hands full with the stock market issue.
If this truth gets out, your career will be over for sure.
I don't care!
I don't care if I have to throw away my acting career!
Both of you, please leave!
Dear...
Don't ever call me that again!
You have no right to do so.
Don't hold on to me anymore.
Start a new life.
With things turning out like this, what's there to start with?
Oppa, let's start over together.
Hye Jung,
I can't turn away from her.
What are you saying now? You can just divorce her.
I'm partially responsible for her lonely life.
What do you mean?
Don't try to know too much.
I just have to be with her until the very end.
Is it because of the promise you made to the former Chairman?
Hye Jung,
let's not make things any more complicated than they already are.
This is my last request.
This is all my fault.
It's actually better this way.
Let's just end things with your dad, and leave for Hong Kong.
Things are working out just great! Got struck by lightning before even taking off.
- What happened? - I want to rest.
I got a call from Hong Kong. They said they could delay the filming.
They said they'd wait until you're allowed to leave the country.
Your travel restrictions could be lifted within a month.
Let's keep our hopes up.
Tell them that I won't be in the movie.
I don't care if my entire personal life is exposed to the world.
This is the beginning of war. I am not going to lose him.
This is the only opportunity for Oppa to get divorced.
Ms. Eun!
Umma!
What?
Chain him to her?
You've got to be kidding.
What am I supposed to do?
Aunty, can this happen?
Man, nothing ever works out! I'm going to lose my mind!
When will I ever get to make some money?
Umma.
There's no need to feel upset. I'll hold a press conference or something.
Since the entire country will know that you are my daughter,
let's go everywhere together.
Umma, why? So you can lock the door, and cry by yourself again?
Let's not do this. Forget about dad.
I love your dad,
but I was able to live on because of you, Soo Jin.
Umma.
If I were alone,
I could give up Jeong Hoon.
But because I have you,
because I want to return your father to you, I can't give up.
Can you understand me?
Umma, sorry.
- I'm really sorry. - No...it's ok...
- I'm sorry... - It's ok...
Sorry.
After years of trusting only my lonely self,
I began to trust you.
How?
How could you stab me in the back like that,
just when I started to trust you?
Why?
From this day on,
please refrain from entering this room.
When I first saw you in the intensive care unit,
I knew our marriage would be rough but...
I accepted you as part of my fate, without fear or hesitation.
Are you talking about
the deal you made with my father?
I never knew that this would become such a dangerous love.
- My sincere feelings... - Sincere?
Has someone like you, who has lied to me for more than 20 years,
ever been sincere?
- If you can't believe my sincere feelings... - You're right.
I can't believe them.
I mean I won't.
Please leave this room immediately.
If you can't understand or accept my true feelings,
let's get a divorce.
Did you...
just say divorce?
It will be hard for me to watch you suffer day by day
from so much resentment.
There's no such thing as a divorce for us.
- Dear... - I told you not to call me that!
There can't be a divorce, but from now on, you and I are strangers.
Let us live under one roof as strangers,
and live hating and despising each other. You'll realize that this is hell.
I told you already.
We're complete strangers.
But you'll be chained to me.
We'll continue playing husband and wife.
Please leave now.
What?
Jeong Hoon, I mean the Vice Chairman, is packing his bags?
Yes, Madam.
He's not just going on a business trip?
Wouldn't I be able to tell the difference?
It seems like something happened between him and the Chairman last night.
What's going on?
Let's have a talk.
Yes, Mother.
Jeong Hoon is packing. What's happening?
I know.
I think you have to stop him.
What is the reason?
He has a college-age daughter with the actress, Eun Hye Jung.
You're not going to say that you don't know, are you?
- About that... - I don't care.
As long as he ends things with Eun Hye Jung before the public finds out,
I can go on living with him like I used to.
But if he insists on packing his bags and breaking up the family,
I can't do anything about it.
It's quite hurtful, Mother.
If he insists on separating even when I'm fine with it,
doesn't that mean that he wants to walk away from the company?
That's nonsense!
Walk away from the company?
Please convince him to change his mind, Mother.
Call an emergency Board Meeting this afternoon.
Yes, Chairman.
What are you doing?
Have a seat, Mother.
Why are you doing this when Chairman Han has agreed to look over it?
I'm doing this for Chairman Han, Mother.
What?
Please don't say anything, and just look over it.
How does this serve as Chairman Han's best interests?
Even if she claims to be alright with everything,
feelings of betrayal will make it hard for her to face me.
What an idiot.
Why are you worrying about that?
I hear you're even thinking of resigning.
How can that happen?
Are you going to fall, after climbing to the top?
Sorry, Mother.
Are you perhaps thinking of moving in and living with Eun Hye Jung?
It's not like that.
Then you need to stand firm in this house.
Remember that your shares in the company will also be gone, if you leave.
That can't happen!
You can't just give up after working so hard to get to where you are!
Vice Chairman Lee Jeong Hoon has decided to resign from his position.
From today, he will oversee a different venture.
A professional will replace him, and become the new Vice Chairman.
What's happened?
[Notice of Resignation]
[Position: Vice President] [Name: Lee Jeong Hoon] [Resignation due to personal health reasons]
Oh my, so this is true?
- What's going to happen to him? - I've no idea. It's so sudden!
Vice Chairman.
My apologies.
Pardon?
I think this will be my last day as Vice Chairman.
What do you mean by that?
I was hoping that you wouldn't be negatively affected.
Vice Chairman,
I'll be with you until the end.
No.
I don't want you to fall together with me.
I don't know if it's going to be easy.
Vice Chairman,
I'll be with you until the end.
Please believe me.
Thank you.
You still can't find Min Soo?
I'm sorry.
I've looked everywhere.
I don't know where he could have gone.
Keep looking.
Yes, Chairman.
Dad, I think it takes courage to be happy.
Why am I so weak and miserable?
Whenever I feel that life is gloomy,
I'll come and visit your art room.
Please forgive your son for his days of wandering,
and give him strength.
You kept such a nice place all to yourself, mother?
I'm hurt.
Your father,
Kim Yoo Suk,
died without ever having been recognized by your grandfather.
I wanted you to lead Myung Jin Group, and show people that
Kim Yoo Suk's son was different.
I don't know.
If Dad were alive,
I think he would have advised me to take up art.
I don't think he'd be like you, only caring about what others think.
Your father died before receiving recognition.
You need to help him rest in peace.
I'll be going to Paris to study art.
I want you to stop dreaming.
Choi Yoon Hee?
This is Han Myung In.
I'd like to see you.
Min Soo says he wants to study in France.
I'm opposed to it,
and I'm sure you know why.
I want to stop him from going, and I need your help.
You're worried that he might go astray even more in France, aren't you?
Even more, since you won't be able to keep an eye on him.
Then how about this...
What?
Tell him he can go to France if he can clean up his act.
Assign him a project.
Tell him that you'll approve if he can prove it within a month.
And what if he succeeds?
I just have to win his heart within this time frame.
Tell Manager Kim to come in.
From now on, you'll be informed of Min Soo's whereabouts.
Alright.
First, give me all the information there is about Lee Min Soo.
And nothing must be kept secret from me.
Lee Min Soo.
The son she had with the painter, Kim Yoo Suk.
Taking after his father,
he has a talent for painting, and wants to be an artist.
His wandering ways started during his high school years
after he learned about his biological father.
Wants to paint rather than work in the company.
To be honest,
Min Soo has a great talent for art.
He has won many awards for it.
But he also has very good business sense.
If there was anything he wanted,
he proudly bought them on his own, from his allowance,
selling things at the market,
or by profiting from stocks.
So you're not bad with calculations and economics.
He began to go astray in high school,
after being approached by a reporter regarding the truth about his illegitimate birth.
He was scarred by the fact that his father was a painter,
and the fact that...
the father he trusted and looked up to, wasn't his biological father.
Here.
Here you go.
Have a nice day.
Hello.
Hey, long time no see!
I came here to buy a new set of supplies.
I suppose your mother threw them away again?
I've never seen that painting before.
It's nice.
Oh, I've seen this style before.
Where have I seen it?
Ah... the hair!
Do you know the painter who painted this?
Yes, I really like this painting.
The person who painted this just walked out.
You didn't see him?
No.
Anyone here?
Aigoo! Welcome.
Is there a place near here called Arcomance?
Arcomance?
What is she doing here?
Hey, Choi Yoon Hee!
Choi Yoon Hee!
Choi Yoo Hee, what brought you here?
Hey!
When someone calls you, you should at least respond.
Why are you ignoring me?
Because I was glad to be meeting someone before I met you.
I just want to ignore you.
But why are you so upset with me?
Oh...
About that night...
Forget it. Don't even mention it.
Hey!
It's not something to get upset over.
It's not?
Hey! You were kissed by a Casanova!
How was it?
I'm the best of all the men you have kissed, am I not?
All the men?
So I've been all over the place?
Huh?
Is it possible that was your... first kiss?
It was your first kiss, wasn't it? Really?
Wow, I'm honored!
I'm sorry to say this,
but I was so drunk that night that I hardly remember anything.
That hurts!
That was your first kiss? At your age?
Aren't you embarrassed?
Figures...
What man would hit on you when you're always glaring at them?
Do you paint?
Huh?
Yes...
Figures. You must have some talent, considering your father was a painter.
What?
But you should also be mindful of your responsibilities.
It's because you live so irresponsibly
that your mother won't let you paint.
And people at the company say you had a free ride to the top.
Don't you know that you are making your father look bad?
Hey! Choi Yoon Hee!
If you say that again, I don't know what I'll do to you.
Really?
My words sting, don't they?
Then try to paint while minding your responsibilities.
Then wouldn't Chairman Han be a little less interfering?
Don't go making trouble here and there,
and giving people headaches.
Because you are wandering like this...
Please don't say it again.
What? I'm not making remarks about the secret behind your birth.
I'm telling you to stop acting like a child,
who can't even overcome one little thing!
Director Lee Min Soo has come back, and is in the Public Relations office.
If you've come to persuade me, it's no use.
I'm going to make it to Paris on my own, so don't meddle.
I don't care if I have to live poorly.
If I can just break away from you and this tiring Myung Jin Group,
I'm willing to walk across any desert.
Fine.
I'll do as you wish.
There's no way you would just support my decision.
What are your conditions?
Make me trust you.
If you can convince me that you'll be fine in France or wherever,
I'm willing to let you be free.
I'm not confident I can do that.
What can you do in France when you lack courage and guts?
With that kind of mentality, you'll not be able to accomplish anything, ever.
How am I supposed to earn your trust?
Be the General Manger of Royal Senior Town,
and accomplish everything I want done.
You'll be given one month.
If you need time to think about it, you have it.
Who knew Myung Jin Group would take care of things like this?
With all those talk about that lowlife son and his scandal with Yoon Hee,
I didn't have a high opinion of them at first.
But I'm now so grateful that I don't know what to do.
Agree, Brother-in-law?
You...
didn't make some kind of a deal with her, did you?
No, of course not, Dad.
I feel really uneasy.
Why do rich people like that help you out for free?
It feels like there's some sort of a deal.
What's the world like these days?
If you're given 10 cents, you're exploited for that much.
That's how society works.
No, Dad.
You can relax. Nothing like that happened.
They're just paying us back for all the wrong their son did to our Yoon Hee.
Yoon Hee, I think you're our lucky charm.
But Aunty, when will Uncle be released?
Don't bring him up!
Why did you mess up the thing with Myung Jin Group,
and like a fool, mortgage the shop?
And you even used private loans.
You're killing me!
Don't ever come near our house again!
Brother-in-law said that he'll kill you if he ever catches you.
I'm sure you can survive by working as a laborer somewhere.
Really... when will my life blossom?
What's going on?
I've heard the gist of it.
But I'm sure some parts were exaggerated.
No,
if you heard things like that, they were probably accurate.
I made many mistakes.
I'm not saying this because I'm a man.
But I think Myung In is at fault for neglecting you.
No, she did nothing wrong.
You're such a decent guy...
With you out like this, the stock price might drop.
This isn't just about you.
This concerns the company's future.
Anyway, Myung In is certainly bold.
For her to do something like this without hesitation,
she must have a plan.
Things are a mess in the Company.
People are talking, and it's not a good atmosphere.
The sincerity and passion you had for your work,
and the good image that your name lends to Myung Jin Group's brand,
these things aren't just jokes.
I don't know why Myung In's doing something so foolish like this.
How far do you plan on dragging Jeong Hoon?
This kind of thing happens in life.
What did you say?
People are finding out about Eun Hye Jung.
And the situation is a bit chaotic at the company.
Jeong Hoon resigned as a way to stop the rumors from spreading.
Once the rumors have died down, he can resume his position.
Don't worry too much, Mother.
Jeong Hoon was wrong to live that way for over 20 years.
But you were also at fault.
I'm sure you won't disagree with that.
It's no surprise he wants to take a break.
He's tired from working and he needs a rest.
Although work will be harder for me without him,
I'll have to do my best for the sake of his reinstatement.
Did you hire a lawyer for me?
Yes.
I don't need one.
I'm not guilty. I'm just regarded as a witness.
You don't know what could happen.
Why?
You don't trust me?
That's not what I mean.
Oppa,
you know how I feel, don't you?
My love for you never changed
even with the passing of time.
Please believe me.
What can I do to make you see my heart?
What do I need to do, to show you my sincere feelings?
Really,
I feel so depressed that I want to die.
Eun Hye Jung apparently has a secret daughter.
The higher-ups are telling us to forget about the interview.
With the script completed and everything,
who can we book at this point?
If Eun Hye Jung can't make it, our show can't air.
Then how about going with Han Myung In?
Because you have interviewed her before,
I think she will be less inclined to decline if you asked.
No,
I believe that Eun Hye Jung should be our guest.
We should try to find out what is the truth, and what is rumor,
when it is a hot issue.
Yes.
I think that would be best.
Let's go with Eun Hye Jung.
With things as they are,
just get a divorce.
Hye Jung...
I can tolerate hardship and loneliness,
but I can't stand anything going wrong with Soo Jin.
If you think of Soo Jin as your child,
then just let go of everything, and come back to us.
I can't do that. I'm sorry.
Do you really intend to chain yourself to that family?
What's so great about Han Myung In?
Why are you so helpless in front of her?
What hope is there for your relationship with Han Myung In,
when you have even left the company?
It's not like that.
Can't you understand?
The whole world already knows everything. Even your Mother knows.
What's there to be afraid of?
I've done something unforgivable to her.
What is it?
What exactly is it?
What is the reason for you not being able to back to me?
It's a secret I need to take with me to my grave.
I can't talk about it.
Tell me.
If you don't want to see Soo Jin and me die, tell me.
I need to make Soo Jin understand.
I'm sorry.
Just hate me.
Yes, Unnie?
Something is wrong with Soo Jin.
What are you saying?
Soo Jin has disappeared!
What?
I called her friends, but they said she didn't contact them.
What shall we do?
She was saying how it was all her fault.
What if she's decided to do something crazy? What then?
Have you seen Soo Jin?
No, I haven't.
Have you seen Soo Jin?
No, I haven't.
Excuse me.
Did Soo Jin come here?
You mean Eun Soo Jin?
Yes, Eun Soo Jin.
No, she didn't. Is something the matter?
Thank you.
I'm sorry for making you come all this way.
My situation is a little...
Yes, I understand.
What's happened to the show?
People want to postpone it for a week.
They're trying to book the person we intended to have as our second guest.
I really need to do that interview.
Please help me.
Yes.
You helped me,
and agreed to be interviewed,
when I had fallen to the bottom...
I'll try my best.
That you Yoon Hee.
Thank you very much.
Cheer up, Ms. Eun.
This might be difficult for you,
but let's just go with Eun Hye Jung.
She's proven to be not guilty,
and we really are desperate to have a guest for the show.
But we still can't have someone whose image has suffered so greatly.
She may be free of guilt,
but the press and the public are still in a frenzy over the issue.
Have you forgotten our project's concept?
We said that we'd give viewers hope by showing how people overcome their obstacles
to get to where they are now.
Our show might help the actress Eun Hye Jung to solve her problems.
I believe in her.
Alright.
Give me a minute.
Hello?
Ms Eun, your guest appearance has been approved!
Really?
I'll see you tomorrow at the studio.
Thank you, Yoo Hee. Thank you.
Everything will work out. Goodnight.
Ok, let's get ready.
Begin the checklist.
Hi, Ms. Eun.
Here is the list of questions that I will be asking you.
This will be the content of the interview.
I thought you might want to have a look.
Ok.
I'll see you soon.
Yes.
Hello! This is the Choi Yoon Hee Interview Show.
I'm Choi Yoon Hee.
Today's broadcast is our very first.
Our show's first guest is Eun Hye Jung,
the 'people's actress', whom viewers have loved for 30 years.
Ms. Eun Hye Jung, please.
- Hello. - Hello.
We're very honored to have you as our first guest.
Thank you.
Today, we will take a look at Ms Eun's 30-year career.
Over your entire career, you've made a comeback three times.
Upon returning after each absence,
you have captivated fans with better and better performances.
You took a year-long absence after every 10 years.
Did you plan it that way?
Is that your way of handling your career?
No, it's not like that.
The first time I took a period of absence...
was because I had a broken heart.
Sorry?
Why is she saying that?
After parting with my first love,
I went through a rough time.
Those were the years
when I worked as a young actress in order to repay my father's debts.
And that man had always been my source of strength.
After letting him go,
I suffered from shock.
So I ended up taking some time off.
I see.
You showed your impressive acting skills right afterwards in the movie, "God's Lies".
You played the role of a single mother.
You also won the Newcomer Award at the Asian Movie Awards for that role,
and became an international star.
Yes, that's true.
Oh, and my second prolonged absence...
was due to the birth of my daughter.
Daughter?
Mr. PD, that's...?
What is she... Camera 2, cut in!
Because people weren't so sympathetic then,
I had to register my daughter as my sister's daughter.
People know her as my niece.
So...
people may stone me.
I know everyone in this country will throw stones at me and point at me.
Everything I say now may sound like an excuse,
but my Soo Jin's father is an unhappy man.
I made him marry into a corporate family so that he could succeed.
His wife was already pregnant with her lover's child.
The two of them were living in separate rooms.
I was the only woman who would take in such a lonely man.
Basically,
he came to me after 2 years of an unhappy marriage.
The man that I loved,
and still love even today, is...
The person...
is Myung Jin Group's Vice Chairman, Lee Jeong Hoon.

So you decided to dig your own grave?
I will just give Soo Jin her father.
I need to run into him like it's a coincidence.
Why Jeong Hoon got married, and why he returned to me...
I guess you don't know the truth yet.
My only son,
Director Lee Min Soo,
is Vice Chairman Lee Jeong Hoon's son.
And the adultery of actress Eun Hye Jung and Vice Chairman Lee Jeong Hoon
is really true.
Please don't be like this.
Just wait and see, Chairman Han.
It's no fun if it ends just like that.
