You two should get married.
Get married?
Did you say we should get married?
That's great!
Ji-eun, do you want to marry me?
Leave us.
I have to talk to my father alone.
I'll call you later.
He wants to talk to me alone, so you can go now.
You'll live a long life since you have such a strong heart.
How much longer are you going to torture your father?
Until the day I die.
Stand up.
I'm not raising my voice here
because I'm ashamed to be your son.
Let's go outside.
Have you forgotten that a deal isn't a deal if
your opponent has something on you?
You told me that once.
If I marry Ji-eun,
do you think your crime could be erased?
I'll make it up to her!
I'll accept her into our family,
and I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to her!
How are you going to make it up to her?
Are you going to give her money?
Jung-min.
Can't you forget about my mistake?
Can't you forgive me?
No, I won't.
How could you try to make a deal with your own son?
How could you try to use your own son?
Are you really my father?
Thanks to you,
I'll live the rest of my life as a coward.
I'm sorry.
This may sound like an excuse.
But today's Seolin wouldn't exist if I hadn't gotten
the Department of Defense project.
I couldn't just stand back and watch my company go under.
Ji-eun's father and I were both up to bid for the DOD project.
And he had the upper hand over me.
I just wanted him in a hospital until I got the bid.
I've never imagined he'd be killed.
I never imagined he'd die!
I'm begging you,
forget about this!
Since he died,
I haven't lived a day without tranquilizers because of my guilty conscience!
So I got to live in luxury
which rightfully belonged to her.
You should've paid for your crime back then...
Then I wouldn't have
fallen in love with her.
It's too late now.
It's over.
Jung-min!
Don't even call my name.
Your son, Seo Jung-min,
is dead.
So you're directing the course of my life again.
I'll never see you again, Dad.
He gave his approval for you two to marry?
Why didn't you tell me you met with his father?
Why don't you look happy?
I am.
Aren't you happy about his approval?
I told you that parents always give in to their children.
I think your late father's helped you.
You should've told Jung-min's father that your father was his friend.
Then you wouldn't have had to worry.
You should listen to me next time.
Mom, are you that happy that I'm going to marry Jung-min?
Why ask the obvious?
Do you know why I desperately want you to marry him?
We may not be well off like we were when your father was alive.
But you and Jung-min have similar backgrounds.
And marriage is real life.
Do you know what that means?
When you're married, you sleep, wake up,
eat and do things together.
No matter how much you may dislike the person at the time,
you have to face that person.
So one of you has to know how to give in.
That jerk Sae-hoon never gave in to you, but Jung-min will!
It's not just because he's rich that I keep pushing you toward him.
I heard his mother's a stepmother?
Yes.
How is she?
What do you mean?
Is she prettier than me?
No.
She sounded very sophisticated on the phone.
I don't want to look shabby next to her when I meet her.
What should I wear?
I'd better check out my closet?
Get married?
Did you say we should get married?
That's great!
Ji-eun, do you want to marry me?
I'll promise you something.
I promise under the heavens.
I'll be good to you for the rest of my life.
What's going to happen to us now?
What am I supposed to do now?
Should I run away with you?
Should we hide?
Would we be happy if we lived in hiding?
I don't have the guts to confess this scary truth.
I'll lose you.
How am I supposed to live after losing you?
Hey!
Stand up, jerk!
Do you really think simplicity is the key to sales?
Jung-min's dead set against it,
so you're worried?
As he said, the risk may be more than you can handle.
What if you have to take all the blame?
You may just want to take one step forward instead of two.
Don't worry. I'm confident.
Yes, I'm sure you know what you're doing.
Yes?
Yes, this is Kim Ho-jin.
Seo-cho Police Station?
Did you come to gloat?
Let's talk.
There's nothing I want to say or hear.
Let's have a drink.
You and I?
Don't you know that I don't like you?
But I don't dislike you.
So what do you want me to do about that?
I'm going to dislike you forever.
Wouldn't it feel victorious to make
your enemy your friend?
We have to work together for Seolin.
You must have a reason for not coming to work and...
Don't concern yourself.
You really rub me the wrong way.
Aren't you sleeping yet?
You reluctantly gave your approval for marriage,
but you're still not happy about it?
You don't want her as your daughter-in-law?
Then just say you can't accept her!
You don't have to be so worried about it!
It's not that.
Honey, tell me why you suddenly changed your mind.
You told me to give him my approval!
You only gave him your approval
because you couldn't make your son listen to you!
You always give in to your son!
You always let him win!
Why you!
There's no such thing as winning and losing
between a father and son.
You have to accept your children the way they are,
no matter what, and without any conditions.
That's why it's the strongest bond in the world.
Don't bother him for awhile.
I won't if he doesn't!
Be quiet!
Honey.
Get me my medicine.
Is it your blood pressure?
Can't you just say yes and do it?
Why doesn't anyone just listen to me and do as I say?
Just get me some water!
All right, honey.
You're just an employee who could be terminated anytime.
I've never thought about being better than someone.
Just remember that you make me want to challenge you.
You really rub me the wrong way.
Did you work all night?
You're going to ruin your health if you work so hard.
Working too hard isn't going to kill me.
Will you get me some coffee?
Yes.
We're all more energetic at our work since you came.
You can't ask for a raise though.
But, I'll give an incentive to you all when the project's done.
I'll get you your coffee, sir.
Vice-president Seo didn't come to work today.
I asked you to come because I'm very frustrated.
Would you be kind enough to listen
to this old man's worries?
Yes, sir, go ahead.
To fathers, sons are like life's homework.
We try to invest everything in our sons.
So we tend to get greedy, and we even try to tame our sons.
Are you and Vice-president Seo having problems?
It's not a big deal, but we did argue.
He's not coming to work,
and seems to want to go back to his old ways.
I want you to create a stimulation for him to want to work again.
You're the only one he's ever felt intimidated by
and wanted to challenge.
Yes, sir.
I envy Vice-president Seo.
You're like a son to me too.
I feel like I own the world
when I have both of you on my sides.
Think of him like a brother and be good to him.
Now that I've given him my approval to marry Ji-eun,
I'm hoping he'll come around.
You don't look good.
You should go home and rest.
I'm all right.
You should answer it.
Yes, this is Jang Sae-hoon.
It's me.
What is it?
I want to see you only because
I have something to talk to you about.
Just meet me at the coffee shop in front of my house!
Ji-eun's life partner was never you, but Jung-min!
You know...
she was...
my first and last love.
You know that, don't you, Jung-in?
What am I supposed to do?
What would you do if you were me?
I should let her go, right?
I have no choice but to let her go.
I never knew what a coward was.
I can't hide any longer.
Jung-in...
I won't ever forgive Dad even after I die.
Today's the last time
I'll visit you.
Goodbye.
See you.
I know it's useless to say all this now; but,
do you know why I detested you?
Parents tend to be overprotected of their daughters.
I especially doted on Ji-eun.
But you came into her life and ruined it!
If you were a decent human being you should've
rejected her even if she pursued you.
Your being a poor orphan wasn't
the only reason I disapproved of you.
I admit you're intelligent,
but you can't live on intelligence alone.
You call it pride, but I call it arrogance.
I hated you because you were arrogant.
You have to know how to be flexible,
especially to your elders.
No one could be as stubborn as you.
My daughter Ji-eun could never
handle your stubbornness.
Am I wrong?
The more I think about it, the more sure I am
that you and Ji-eun were never meant to be.
My husband would never had died if not for you.
It's only a matter of time before
Ji-eun sets a wedding date.
Take your past with her to your grave.
If her wedding is cancelled,
I'll make you pay!
Jung-min!
Do you know how shocked I am right now?
What's the reason?
You must have a reason to want to break up.
I told you, I don't like you anymore.
Do you think I'm a fool?
You didn't call me for a while, and then your father
finally gives us his approval to marry.
And now you're saying you don't like me anymore?
How am I supposed to accept this?
Don't you get it?
Now that my father gave his approval, I've lost interest.
So, let's end it.
If you've really stopped liking me,
I have no intention of asking you to rethink your decision.
But I know something's wrong.
You can't even look me in the eyes.
Tell me what happened.
What more can I say except that I don't like you anymore?
I...
don't like you anymore.
So this is the kind of man you are?
Yes, this is the kind of man I am!
I'm a jerk and a coward!
Didn't you know that?
Just pretend that a jerk toyed with you for a while.
Jung-min...
I hate women who are clingy.
A person can always change their mind in an instant.
We should never have met.
I...
dreamed of my life with you.
I was confident because you were with me.
But how could I have you by my side?
How could I dare love you?
I'd be punished for my sins.
Get up.
Seo Jung-min, act like a man if you are one!
Take responsibility for your words!
You said you'd change for her.
Take care of her if you love her.
Do you love her that much?
Do you love Ji-eun that much?
Then you live with her!
Seo Jung-min!
Don't ignore her now.
Please don't make her cry.
You're the only man who can make her happy.
If I'm the problem, I'll leave.
I may reconsider,
now that you're begging me.
I don't like you anymore.
Now that my father gave his approval, I've lost interest.
Just pretend that a jerk toyed with you for a while.
You're up now?
Is vegetable porridge okay for breakfast?
Do you want some coffee first?
Okay.
When did you come?
What a question to ask! It's my house!
Stop playing around and go take a shower.
You're going to be late for work.
Where were you last night?
Are you having an affair?
Mi-ran, get a hold of yourself!
Who are you?
Where's my Will?
Will, where are you?
Will, where were you?
It's Jang Sae-hoon.
What is it?
I think you have to come home.
Mi-ran is...
Do you think I've gone insane too?
I haven't gone insane yet.
Do you think it's that easy to go insane?
Do you think I'll let you go without a fight?
You'll go to an early grave.
I have to face it head on!
I'm going to confess everything.
She won't kill me.
I shouldn't have asked Ho-jin to help.
My plan backfired on me.
Where you going?
You startled me!
I'm going to ask Producer Nam to forgive me.
I'm going to apologize to her for deceiving her,
and propose to her.
You know she can be scary when she gets mad.
She might kill us both when she finds out
that we've been deceiving her.
So you'd better hide for a while.
Look, you innocent and naive boy,
this is why Bok-ja doesn't find you attractive.
What woman would like such a weak man?
Hey!
What?
I'll go with you.
Really?
Yes, I'll help you.
You want to help me?
Okay, let's go?
Why are you holding that?
This? I bought it for Bok-ja's dog.
She loves her dog.
What?
I don't think it'll work though...
We'll see...
It's no fun if he falls for my game so easily!
Why aren't you saying anything?
You can't say a word because you're so mad?
Yeo-jin likes you, so I wanted to help him.
But your confession about
how you feel about me took me by surprise.
So I thought I should tell the truth.
You won't press charges against me
for fraud or anything.
I will.
I'll send you some snacks in prison.
Never mind!
It's not his fault.
It's all Yeo-jin's doing.
I have to go too.
I have to get ready for the show.
Don't worry about it.
All right.
I've been worried since I heard your confession.
Especially because I know Yeo-jin likes you a lot.
I've come to a decision.
I'll accept your feelings.
I think we're suited for each other.
Let's start dating.
What's going on?
How am I going to get out of this mess?
Wait one second.
But...
I didn't know you could be so shy, kid.
See, I knew this would all backfire on you.
I feel so sorry for you.
Thanks.
The apartment is now under Ms. Lee Ji-eun's name,
and I'll take care of the paperwork.
You should hold off on that for a while.
Mr. Choi.
I have a favor to ask you.
I hear Vice-president Seo and Ji-eun are getting married.
Who said that?
I heard it from the chairman's secretary.
I wonder how she got him under her spell.
I heard she's a divorcee. She's good.
Congratulations.
You'll invite us to your wedding, won't you?
It's very convincing.
The research results are positive and
the samples look very promising.
Okay, I'll support your decisions.
Sir.
You don't look good.
You should go home and rest.
Yes, I think I should.
Mrs. Seo isn't home.
Should I call her?
No, it's all right.
Give me a glass of water.
I won't stop you from leaving, but let's talk.
Are you just going to leave when I'm begging you?
Jung-min!
Not even 5 minutes of your time.
Can't you even spare 5 minutes for your father.
I...
dreamed of a life with you.
I was confident because you were with me.
I'll promise.
I promise under the heavens.
I'll be good to you
until the day I die.
And no matter what,
I'll be by your side.
When I first met you, I thought I had to run.
I don't know if it's all right for me
to be with a man as nice as you.
Would we happy if we lived in hiding?
Would we be happy?
It's the Shin Young Textiles reports you asked for, sir.
Sir, I think there's something odd about it.
I know they were having financial problems.
But the problems weren't serious enough for them to file bankruptcy.
EXECUTIVE LEE JI-EUN Registered March 18, 1994
EXECUTIVE PARK SUNG-JUN Registered March 18, 1991
You don't have to worry.
He passed out from exhaustion.
He'll be all right after a few days of rest.
Will you fill out the admission forms?
How is he?
He's all right.
He passed out from drinking and exhaustion.
Mr. Kim will take care of the paperwork.
Aren't you going to go in and see him?
Later.
What's going on between you and Jung-min.
I found a lot of suspicious things connected with
President Lee Sang-bum's death and the bankruptcy.
You can't leave!
You need to stay here!
Sir!
What are you talking about?
Didn't you know?
I think I remember vaguely that I was going to be
appointed as an executive.
Why do you ask?
I want to know what was going on with
your father's company after he passed away.
Why?
What is it?
What's wrong?
I think...
Let go of her hand.
You have no right to have Ji-eun.
