(Episode 113)
Nam Koo's mom will know.
How can I ask her though?
You're Nam Koo's friend.
Sorry, you're now the CEO.
What brings you by?
Hello.
Nam Koo's not home yet.
By the way, you should stop hurting Mo Ah.
That necklace.
Why do you have it?
This?
I have it because it's Nam Koo's.
Can I take a look at it?
If I let you, will you be nicer to Mo Ah and Nam Koo?
Yes, of course.
It's a lucky charm.
Having it will bring you luck.
How long...
have Nam Koo had this?
I think from when he was a little boy.
I don't remember.
Now give it back.
Be nicer from now on!
So it's true.
Kang Nam Koo is Shin Min Joon.
What are you doing here?
- I asked why you're here. - Isn't it obvious?
I came to talk since you wanted to work for me.
Then why do you seem startled?
I'm not.
You should watch your mouth...
if you want to work for me.
- I've always been this way. - Always?
There's no such thing and you can fix your tone.
That's how the world works.
Life is about changing and adjusting.
That's why it's worth living.
I wasn't an orphan from the start. I wasn't born this way.
Did I descend from the sky?
Why are you being melodramatic?
Well, you're disrespectful.
I'm the CEO of TMO Group.
How do you expect to work for me?
So are we working together or not?
Since you rescued me...
and I do find Mo Ah annoying,
I thought you'd make a great human shield.
But I hate how arrogant you are.
That's my final answer.
Who's here?
You're awake.
It's me, Min Joon.
Min Joon?
You're drunk and talking gibberish.
What's wrong? Can't I be Min Joon?
Let me be him.
I don't want to be Do Hoon, so let me be him.
It's empty.
Mom,
let me be Min Joon!
I see.
Did you think I'd hurt you with this?
I guess I scared you.
It's not like you to be shaken though.
There. Is that better?
You're drunk, so head off to bed.
Mom.
What if I killed Nam Koo?
What?
He keeps running interference.
If you think about it,
we could've made it work.
If only Nam Koo hadn't gotten in the way.
Remember when Mo Ah had amnesia?
If it weren't for him, we'd have taken care of her.
Then nothing would've happened to Jae Min or Dad.
So you see,
Nam Koo's the one to blame, isn't he?
How hard did Tae Jin hit you on the head?
What's this nonsense?
You wait and see.
I'll soon hurt Nam Koo and get your revenge.
Good night, then.
Why isn't this coming off?
Wait a second.
Nam Koo's scar is on his left arm.
Do Hoon, you're home.
Young Hwa, where's your razor?
My razor?
The one you use to shape your eyebrows.
I need it.
Why do you need it all of a sudden?
This scar is supposed to be on my left arm.
No wonder things haven't gone smoothly.
Hand it over.
My left arm needs a scar.
What's wrong with you? Are you drunk?
Do Hoon, please snap out of it.
Hand me the razor!
The scar should be on my left arm.
This is why I've been unlucky.
Min Joon's scar is on his left arm, not his right.
How would you know that?
I know because...
the scar on Nam Koo's arm is the real deal, and I'm fake.
I guess a fraud will always be a fraud.
Don't play jokes with me.
Nam Koo has a mom and a sister.
We were fooled.
He was adopted. It's that simple.
No way.
Do you know what's crazier?
He said that he's to blame for Nam Hui's condition.
It was Min Joon all along.
Not Nam Koo, but Min Joon.
Does Nam Koo know? What about Mo Ah?
If they knew, they would've come forward.
Idiots.
Are you planning to hurt Nam Koo just like you hurt your dad?
Nam Koo's a ghost. Nothing gets past him.
If I act irrationally,
it'll be as good as telling him that he's Min Joon.
Then what's your plan?
Don't tell me you're going to give it all up.
I can't do that when Min Joon's spot is mine.
He can forever live his life as Kang Nam Koo.
I wasn't an orphan from the start. I wasn't born this way.
Did I descend from the sky?
Things will be easier if Nam Koo worked for Do Hoon.
Do Hoon would never agree to that though.
Still, why did he act like that last night?
What if I killed Nam Koo?
He keeps running interference.
We could've made it work.
If only Nam Koo hadn't gotten in the way.
Remember when Mo Ah had amnesia?
If it weren't for him, we'd have taken care of her.
Then nothing would've happened to Jae Min or Dad.
So you see,
Nam Koo's the one to blame.
I can't just sit back.
I should stir Do Hoon up a bit.
Do you remember how she jumped in front of your car?
If I don't take action, she'll do it again.
It's time I stopped her.
You'll get your wish.
Instead of being hers,
you'll be my human shield.
I don't think Do Hoon will let me work for him.
- Why not? - He came by my house last night.
He seemed off though.
There's nothing odd about it.
It would've been strange if he had accepted you.
When will you go to his uncle?
Like I said, he's very sick.
I'll think about it.
I wonder if Do Hoon knows...
that you were saving his uncle when you rescued him.
- Hello? - Come up to my office.
Do Hoon wants to see me.
I'm sorry about going off on you last night.
The ordeal my uncle put me through left me on edge.
Why did you want to see me?
I want to take you up on your offer.
With you as my human shield, Mo Ah won't try anything stupid.
Why the change of heart? You weren't on board last night.
With Mo Ah out there, I can't get any work done.
Also, I'm a bit scared after what my uncle did to me.
Be my personal assistant.
You'll be my driver and friend.
All right, fine. You have a deal.
I didn't expect to see you here.
I'm glad you're here. Remember what I said last night?
About what?
Nam Koo's now my personal assistant.
I'm scared now that I've been kidnapped once.
You incapacitated my husband,
but you're worried now that your life is in danger.
What brings you by though?
It's nothing. I didn't need to come by after all.
This is great for us.
We can end this easily now that you work for him.
- This is what we should do. - I'm listening.
I'll contact owners of paper companies...
and buy shares under a false name.
We can later on put Do Hoon's name on it.
You're talking about stock manipulation.
We'll need shares to buy though.
All that's left now are those held by small investors.
That's what we'll go after, and you'll compensate for their loss.
Do we have a deal?
Sure. That much I'm willing to do.
Yoon, it's me.
Liquidate all of my assets and bring me the money.
Done. What's next?
Do Hoon won't trust anything I say.
He needs a nudge.
Yes, of course.
I'll hand you my plan, so let Do Hoon see it.
He'll believe you since you've been buying...
shares as well.
So what's your plan?
Isn't it obvious?
I'm going to have Do Hoon behind bars.
Will he let you be the president of a paper company?
Of course.
It's why he let me be his personal assistant.
Nam Koo's now my personal assistant.
You're bold letting Nam Koo work for you like this.
He's the one who was audacious enough to suggest it first.
Now I can finally end him.
I'm only joking.
I want to be good friends with him again.
What game are you playing?
I'm sure you weren't...
moved by his sales pitch.
I'm not playing any games.
Anyway, don't let my uncle go free.
If you do, he'll look for Min Joon.
You don't want that.
Did you agree to work for Do Hoon?
Yes, it's as we planned.
Something's not right.
There's no way that Do Hoon trusts you.
Don't worry for I don't trust him either.
If we manipulate the stock price like Jong Dae said,
will Do Hoon go to prison?
He'll get at least five years. You know how good Jong Dae is.
What about the loss the small investors will suffer?
I did as you said, and Ms. Hong agreed to liquidate her assets.
This is more than enough.
Do Hoon and Ms. Hong...
will finally pay.
This isn't like you.
I've never known you to lose a fish in the net before.
You were right all along. Nam Koo does get in the way.
Stay here for about five years. I'll have everything changed.
What game have you cooked up again?
Please just stay put.
Someone needs to look after the company.
Don't worry. Nam Koo will get rid of Do Hoon.
My hands will be clean.
- Nam Koo? - Yes,
he's now Do Hoon's personal assistant.
He'll have Do Hoon arrested for stock manipulation.
It's what you did to Jeon Byung Soo all those years ago.
That's right. Anyway, I'll take care of this,
so just get comfortable in your cell.
Tanking the company isn't an option.
It can withstand a slight dip in the market.
Anyway, you should get some rest.
I have to say that you don't look so good.
Force yourself to at least eat something.
Myung Sook!
Mom, do you think it'll be something bad?
Don't you worry.
Our family were never rich, but we were always healthy.
Why did you come with instead of staying at home?
I was worried that you'd bring Nam Hui instead.
Mr. Kong, we're ready for you.
That's you. Let's head inside.
- Hello, Doctor. - Hi, ma'am.
Do you have my test result?
It's nothing serious, is it?
I'm sorry, but could I talk with your mother alone?
Why? He's the patient here.
Doctor.
Do I have a serious illness?
Step outside.
You heard him. Hurry out.
No, I'd like to hear it myself.
Please tell me.
I'm afraid...
you'll need to prepare yourself for the worst.
What?
It must be serious if she wanted me here too.
I don't know what it is, but Grandma wanted us all here.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Don't you worry.
I'm sure that it's a simple stomach disorder.
There she is.
Why are you back alone? Where's Chun Soo?
Grandma, just tell us. Where's Uncle Chun Soo?
He's at the hospital.
Has he been admitted?
Mom, please tell us what's going on!
Dying before your own parent...
is the worst you can do as the child.
What? Are you saying that Chun Soo's terminally ill?
No way!
You're kidding. This is all too sudden.
What does this mean?
Is Chun Soo really going to die?
Your lack of energy is bringing me down.
You should go to Chun Soo.
No, I'm good. I'm just tired, that's all.
Shin Ae, what's up?
What?
Chun Soo's terminally ill?
All right.
As if.
What are you talking about?
Is Chun Soo terminally ill?
It's probably a hoax to get me to come by.
As if I'd fall for that.
So Nam Koo really is Min Joon.
Don't worry.
I'll have him behind bars soon.
Is that really necessary?
What now?
Are you sore for not marrying Nam Koo when you had the chance?
Don't say that. Our baby will hear.
So what's your next move?
Before my dad wakes up,
I'll buy all the shares that I can.
Your mom has been buying shares too.
There's none left on the market.
(TMO Group, List of Shareholders)
This isn't bad at all. Do I just need to follow this plan?
Yes, it's all up to you now.
This isn't my first rodeo, so worry about yourself.
Now it's your turn.
Here. These are all my assets.
This isn't all. I know you have more.
This is more than enough, so come to me when it's not.
I don't want our shareholders to suffer a loss either.
I'll trust your word on that.
Here.
- Where's Do Hoon? - He just arrived.
Just do as we planned.
How can I buy shares when this is the best you can do?
I'm sorry, ma'am. I'll get right on it again.
This is a rookie mistake.
What about the data I asked for?
Ma'am...
I didn't see you there.
- You must be buying shares. - Didn't you know?
You know I am, so don't act surprised.
- We're late. Let's go. - Yes, ma'am.
Do you think Do Hoon fell for that?
Yes, I think he went straight to Nam Koo.
Then Nam Koo will take care of the rest.
As you know, I'm in desperate need of shares.
(Stock Manipulations Proposal)
(Table of Contents)
This is your first job as my assistant,
so don't decline.
This might help you obtain the shares,
but small investors will suffer a huge loss.
I knew you'd say that.
Look well inside the envelope.
(Bankbook)
What's this?
Compensate the investors with that.
This will get you to agree.
You want me to buy shares as the president of a paper company.
That's quite the first assignment.
Think about Mo Ah.
If this succeeds, TMO will be mine.
Mo Ah will give up then.
How simple is that?
Fine, I'll do as you say.
What do you think you're doing?
What was that?
I'm sure he was hiding something.
How's your dad doing?
What's that?
It's a hospital log I've been keeping.
Can you believe the scum actually ripped a page from it?
Do you mean Do Hoon?
Why would he rip out a page?
He said he wrote down a personal note,
but I don't trust him.
I'm sure it really was nothing.
Hello, ma'am.
Oh, it's you. What brings you by?
Are you here to see my husband?
I forgot that he was admitted here too.
I'm afraid I'm here for Chun Soo though.
You remember Mo Ah's uncle.
Yes, of course. Is he ill?
No, he's just faking it.
That reminds me.
Please tell your brother-in-law that I didn't see him that day.
- What do you mean by that? - He'll know.
I'm going to live with Nam Koo forever.
Good day.
My goodness. I just can't understand her.
I wonder how Nam Koo's doing.
It's done.
The rest is up to you now.
I knew he'd come through.
How can they be so different?
Are they really siblings?
I can't believe her.
How can she not come to see Chun Soo?
Who?
Did you call the girl from the blind date?
Why would you when they've barely dated?
Are you sure about this?
Maybe he should get tested again.
I'm scared to get another one.
You should've taken better care of your health!
I honestly can't believe how this can be true.
Chun Soo, hang in there.
Some terminally ill patients manage to live for years.
Is it true then?
Nam Hui.
Nam Hui, you're here.
I know Shin Ae called you.
Chun Soo, please don't die. You can't die.
Get up. Please get up.
Finally, the truth is hitting me.
Please don't be sick.
I'm sorry for everything.
I won't ever break up with you again.
Doctor, please save him. Give him six months.
No, please give him at least a year.
I'm truly sorry about this, but he was misdiagnosed.
- What? - What?
A misdiagnosis?
What did you say?
Nam Hui, hold on.
Don't go.
Stay with me until the day you die.
My poor Chun Soo.
There was a mix-up with the charts.
I read one with no name on it.
I'm truly sorry.
So my Chun Soo isn't going to die?
No, of course not.
Ma'am, there was a mix-up. He was misdiagnosed.
You can stop crying now.
Chun Soo, you were misdiagnosed.
I know what a terminal illness is,
but what's a misdiagnosis?
Nam Hui...
I had no idea how much she loved Chun Soo.
I know. She's better than us combined.
That other girl didn't even show up.
My poor Chun Soo.
Chun Soo...
(Examples of stock manipulation)
So is this what Nam Koo gave to Do Hoon?
Yes, he said this will have Do Hoon behind bars.
- Is that right? - It is.
Do Hoon won't be able to get out of this mess.
His life ends here.
That's good.
I just wanted to make sure.
Next on the list is Hong Myung Sook.
Don't have second thoughts since she's Nam Koo's mom.
That's not what we agreed to.
Isn't it an awesome plan?
I received help from an ex-con who specializes in stock scams.
Do Hoon will be done for.
Now move on to the next plan.
Are you sure about having Ms. Hong sent to prison?
Have it done fast.
Okay, I'll get on it.
I'm worried that Do Hoon fell for this too easily though.
I know.
That's been on my mind too.
Hui Joo?
Sure. I'll be right there.
Don't tell Mo Ah about this. I'll see you.
I don't know if I should help him or not.
She still is his biological mother.
What's up?
Take a look at this.
Was he awake?
He's been doing better.
That's not what I'm talking about though.
What do you think you're doing?
I wonder what it was.
He ripped out the page my dad wrote on.
What could my dad have written?
He wrote it down the moment you left,
so I thought you might know something.
Do Hoon would never trust you.
I'm sure he has an ulterior motive.
Have you told anyone about this?
No, only you.
My mom would make a big fuss over it.
What do you think he wrote? It must've been important.
I'll look into it.
He wrote it down the moment you left,
so I thought you might know something.
I guess...
my place is with my mom and sister.
I'm sorry,
Dad.
I wasn't an orphan from the start. I wasn't born this way.
Did I descend from the sky?
I want to take you up on your offer.
Be my personal assistant.
You'll be my driver and friend.
No wonder he was eager to be on board.
He was desperate.
Is CEO Shin coming to my aid?
Kang Nam Koo,
you're going to prison for me.
It isn't like you to eat breakfast at home.
I'm going to as many times as I can.
Good. I'll be leaving home soon,
so let's make the most of it.
Are you going somewhere?
She's dating Chun Soo again.
He was admitted to the same hospital as CEO Shin.
Really? I should swing by then.
He was misdiagnosed. He isn't terminally ill.
I didn't know and cried my eyes out.
That must've moved his mom.
Whose chart was his mixed up with?
A patient with no name.
How can that even be?
Come to my office straight away.
Let's not waste any time on this.
Sure.
I trust you'll get it done.
How's the stock market?
Nam Koo made his move, so it'll come crashing soon.
Really?
Then it's all over.
Still, keep an eye out until the very end.
My gosh. This plan is genius.
It's all over now.
Even if my dad wakes up, the company will stay mine.
You're right. Congratulations.
I'm sorry though,
but you have to go to prison.
Serve about five years...
and use this to open a restaurant.
You can always ask for more.
Are you so surprised that you're lost for words?
On the contrary. I have something for you too.
(Nam Koo is my son.)
I wrote that,
but I'm guessing it's what CEO Shin wrote too.
So you know.
You're Shin Min Joon.
Of course I know, Park Do Hoon.
What a pity though.
I'm now Shin Min Joon,
and you'll forever be Kang Nam Koo.
You never can think one step ahead, can you?
This will have you behind bars.
That's my plan.
(I Am Sorry, but I Love You)
- You own the paper company. - You'll go to prison.
A scourge will be upon you soon.
- He played me. - Are you going to prison?
Myung Sook must be behind bars!
You'll all be arrested, and I'll get my life back.
You'll regret it if Nam Koo ends up in prison.
We'll see who survives.
Reveal who you truly are.
Kang Nam Koo went to see Ms. Hong.
