(Episode 100)
I'm sorry for being late, Mother and Father.
Come here.
Hi, Aunt Ji Young.
Hey, Tae Woong.
You should've just stayed at home and taken some rest.
I would've taken care of everything.
Where's Sang Hyuk?
I'm sorry. I came by myself.
We'd like to start eating now. Okay.
Aunt Ji Young, why isn't Uncle Sang Hyuk here?
Uncle Sang Hyuk couldn't come because he's busy.
How was it?
Mother and Father were really disappointed.
Do you know how sorry I felt?
Are you going to keep being like this?
Can't you just forgive them?
We eventually managed to deal with it quickly,
so we didn't lose any money.
Let's stop talking about that.
I'm so disappointed in him.
How could he miss his dad's birthday?
Why didn't you tell Ji Young...
that you're going to give her...
the building you own in Dosan Street?
Why bother?
Sang Hyuk would think I'm only doing it to make him forgive me.
Anyway, I'm really worried.
He's the type that doesn't come around that easily.
I don't feel well.
Dad seemed really disappointed that Sang Hyuk didn't come.
You should go apologize to him.
What?
Go and beg for forgiveness so that he'll come around.
No, why must I do that?
Then are you not going to do nothing?
We need to stop him from cutting ties with Dad.
Nothing will get solved just because I go.
He'll come around after some time.
Do as I say.
No.
Why would I go apologize? I did nothing wrong.
Why don't you just go yourself?
"You're not too bad for a part-timer."
"I'll let you do the first part."
"What are you talking about?"
"It's my job to do all this."
Why aren't you drinking it?
What are you scared of? You even jumped in front of a driving car.
I didn't forgive you.
I'm...
I'm going to get back at you.
Once I become more powerful, I'm going to...
make sure you become socially ostracized.
There.
I feel sorry for Jenny.
What? Why?
I guess she wants to start acting again.
She asked me to bring her some scripts...
from the broadcasting station, so I did.
And she keeps reading them over and over again.
Can't you use your connections?
You work at a broadcasting station, so you must know a lot of directors.
I have no power.
Back when she was hospitalized,
there were so many positive articles about Jenny.
And a lot of people did interviews saying all the rumors on the web...
were too exaggerated.
Isn't that enough?
It's crucial for celebrities to keep a good image.
It's hard to get back on their feet once they lose people's trust.
No one will want to cast them.
What's she going to do then?
Jenny doesn't get good grades, so she can't succeed by studying.
Meanwhile, she loves acting,
but she can't even do that. My goodness.
I feel so sorry for her.
Se Young's home.
What's that?
- It's nothing. - What is it?
- It's nothing. - Let me see.
They're homemade burgers.
These are really hard to get.
Are you guys going to eat these all by yourselves?
Mi Hyun craved these burgers, so I get them for her.
You're so stingy.
Why didn't you buy some for us? How could you only get two?
They're really expensive.
You're such a stingy brother.
Gosh, just let it go.
She probably craves a lot of food because she's pregnant.
You can go get one yourself if you want some.
This restaurant's located really far away,
and I also need to line up.
You're a traitor.
Why don't you guys just move out?
I'm sorry, Bong Kyu.
I can't believe that guy.
My gosh, I feel so sorry for Bong Kyu.
Should I go get some for you?
No.
- Did you get it? - Yes.
Here you go.
It's so good.
You can have this one as well.
Really? What about you?
I'm fine. I got two for you.
Our baby must love hamburgers.
I also want...
fresh mango juice.
Can you go get one for me?
- Again? - Why? Do you not want to go?
I do. I'll go.
If you want anything else, tell me right now.
That's it for now.
I'll tell you every time something pops up in my head.
What?
I wonder if I have a jacket with big pockets.
Let's see.
Why do you need pockets?
This will do.
I'll be back.
Let's see.
What do you want for dinner?
I want the bulgogi at Aunt Ki Sook's restaurant.
Okay, let's go.
Here.
Enjoy it with some vegetables.
- It's delicious. - I'm glad.
Eat up. It's all for your baby.
Is your baby okay now?
Yes, it's okay.
You must be so relieved. I was really worried.
Tell me if you need anything.
Okay.
I'm also really relived.
We were so worried that something might happen to the baby.
I'm so happy to see you eat so well.
Your parents also must've been so worried.
Yes.
Are they doing well?
Yes.
They're probably waiting desperately for the baby to be born.
Is Jenny doing well?
Yes, she goes to school and is doing well.
By the way, I think she really wants to start acting.
Bong Kyu got her a script from a broadcasting station,
and she kept reading it until it got worn out.
Is it impossible for Jenny to become a celebrity again?
I'm not sure.
That young girl...
got discouraged at such a young age.
She did nothing wrong.
She was just trying hard to achieve her dreams.
I feel so sorry for Jenny.
Don't you think we can help her?
You know a lot of people in the entertainment industry.
I guess it'll require some time.
Meanwhile, her mom's doing fine.
I'm not sure if Kyung Shin's the right person for Hyun Joon.
The more I get to know her, the scarier she becomes.
I'm not sure if it's a good thing to keep the secret from Hyun Joon.
I would've already told him myself if I could do things my way.
But Jenny doesn't want that.
Jenny doesn't even think of Kyung Shin as her mom anymore.
So what would be the point of telling him?
It'll only end up hurting Tae Woong.
What's gotten into you? You don't normally call me out like this.
I'm sorry. I needed a drinking buddy.
It's my pleasure.
Your wife came by to see me a couple days ago.
What? Why?
I guess she felt offended by the company analysis report.
She told me not to interfere.
She told me not to meet up with you often.
What?
I'm a divorced woman, so I'm used to people misunderstanding me...
like that.
But it must be pretty hard for you.
Where are you going?
Are you going to sleep in the study again?
What did you say to You Jin?
How could you humiliate me like that?
Did you meet up with her again?
Yes, I did.
Do you know how embarrassed I was?
Why are you getting angry?
What did I do?
I just told her off for being too nosy...
about our business.
She's not a weird person.
And she did nothing wrong for you to misunderstand her.
I know she didn't do anything yet.
But women like her won't let go of a man like you.
You're the perfect prey.
What?
Don't be fooled.
Smart women are quick and clever.
So they approach you unknowingly in a very elegant manner.
Naive guys like you don't even stand a chance.
And I was trying to stop her for you.
I have a limit to how much I can tolerate you.
I'm only holding it in for Tae Woong's sake.
What did I even do?
How dare that wench try to covet my husband?
What a witch.
Dad.
Hey, Tae Woong.
Tae Woong, how would you feel if Mom was away for a long time?
Would it be okay if she was away for a while?
No, I don't want her to go anywhere.
Really?
She's my favorite person in this whole wide world...
including you.
I see.
Okay, then. Go ahead and sleep.
(TS Cosmetics)
You know that drama we're sponsoring?
Yes?
What do you think about giving Jenny the role of the saleswoman...
that sells our products?
It's a small role, so she won't feel pressured.
Jenny?
Don't you think it's a bit too early for her to appear on screen?
I think she should stay quiet for a bit longer.
Why? She didn't even do anything wrong.
She used to model for our brand.
Recovering Jenny's image...
will also help our company as well.
Okay, then.
Okay, you should talk to the director.
Okay.
Chairman Shin, we're in big trouble.
Why are you being so jumpy? You're too old for that.
CEO Kim Gyeong Ryeol of JU Apparel...
just committed suicide because his business went bankrupt.
What?
His family...
has been working with our company starting from his dad.
But sir, there's something way worse than that.
What could possibly be worse than someone's death?
After hearing about Mr. Kim Gyeong Ryeol's death,
all our subcontractors went on a strike...
and are going to go to the press to do a protest.
How in the world did we manage our subcontractors...
for things to get out of hand like this?
Ms. Choi's strategy of cutting costs...
ended up backfiring.
My goodness.
Call Hyun Joon into my office.
What?
Okay.
How badly did you cut the costs?
You should've kept it moderate.
You were in support of my strategy.
Didn't you also cut costs like this back in the days?
The world has changed.
People care more about their quality of life these days.
I'm sorry. We'll quickly take care of it.
What's your countermeasure?
There is no countermeasure. We must not give in.
We need to be stricter.
I'll announce that we'll just start working with foreign subcontractors.
Are you serious?
The press is writing articles...
saying our company is known for abusing our power.
Consumers might even start boycotting our products soon.
Things will calm down after a while.
Don't be too scared.
If a baby cries, you need to feed them milk.
They won't stop crying if you hit them harder.
Go meet the subcontractors and make them calm down.
Okay.
What did I tell you?
Didn't I warn you that things will turn out like this?
Don't worry.
It's just a temporary phase.
They can't do anything.
If you fail to take care of this,
I'm going to hold you responsible.
(CEO, Choi Kyung Shin)
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Gather all the CEOs of the subcontractors.
My gosh, she's so adorable.
I can't seem to do anything these days because I miss her so much.
Your dad also does nothing but talk about her all day.
At first, I thought she looked like you.
But she kind of looks like Jin Kook now.
Why would you say that? He's got nothing to do with her.
Are you sure she's not Jin Kook's daughter?
Are you sure you didn't use Jin Kook's sperm?
I don't know, and I don't want to know.
What does that even matter?
I'm going to raise her by myself.
My gosh.
I heard he started working at another hospital.
Hasn't he called?
He really likes you.
Do you still have no feelings for him?
No.
Then I guess there's nothing we can do.
- Hello? - Your house is out for sale, right?
How did it go?
Sir, I think the problem's only going to get worse.
What?
Didn't Kyung Shin meet up with the subcontractors?
She did, but she announced that she would start working...
with foreign subcontractors.
Our outlets are also starting to get agitated.
Our brand got revealed by the press,
so all the outlets might cancel their contracts with us all at once.
That darn...
Fire Kyung Shin right now.
- And send out an apology. - You want me to fire her?
Hurry up. Business is all about timing.
Tell this to Hyun Joon right now.
Okay, sir.
My gosh.
How in the world could you do this?
You're going to switch to foreign subcontractors?
Are you trying to worsen the situation?
We just need to wait a little.
The subcontractors won't be able to last without getting work from us.
They'll give in before they go bankrupt.
That makes no sense.
Someone committed suicide because of you.
How many more people need to die for you to admit to your fault?
If we give in just because of Mr. Kim's death,
we won't be able to do business at all.
We need to be stricter at times like this.
My dad wants to fire you.
But I'm going to fire you first.
I want you to quit right now.
That's absurd.
You guys loved me when I made profit.
I can't accept it.
I don't care if you accept it or not.
I'm going to talk to the team manager of HR right now.
Sir, are you okay?
Yes.
You should go home.
I can't go home right now.
Dad.
How did it go?
I just told the team manager of HR to fire Choi Kyung Shin.
Now, you'll just have to get approval from the stockholders.
Okay. My goodness.
I think I supported her way too much.
I didn't know she'd be so merciless.
My gosh.
I should go to Kim Gyeong Ryeol's funeral.
Sir, everyone's really angry right now.
You might even get harmed.
That doesn't mean I shouldn't go.
We used to work together.
Even his dad used to work with us.
So I must go no matter what.
Dad, I'll go instead.
No, it'll be way better for me to go.
They'll have someone to vent on.
Let's go.
("A One Group Says They'll Work with Foreign Subcontractors")
(After CEO Kim Gyeong Ryeol committed suicide...)
Did you read the news?
Father's company is in big trouble. What should we do?
Their profits started skyrocketing,
so I thought Kyung Shin was doing a good job in managing.
I never thought something like this would happen.
Father must be really worried. Why don't you give him a call?
Where are you going?
It's none of your business.
What?
I'm going to go home. You should tidy up before you leave.
You should clean a little too.
I'm the CEO. How can she treat me like that?
I hate this.
Their company's in huge trouble.
I was going to call you because I got worried...
after reading all the articles.
Are you okay?
If I get in trouble,
your life will end as well. You know that, right?
Of course.
All I did was follow what the chairman did.
So he should be the one getting all the blame.
You need to do something for me.
I was starting to get bored.
What is it? I'll do anything.
There's a guy named Mr. Nam who used to be Chairman Shin's driver.
Okay.
Bribe him.
Hey, do you not have a husband?
What?
I wasn't eavesdropping,
but I heard your mother say...
that you got pregnant without telling the father.
Is that true?
It's none of your business.
That's so interesting.
How could you even think of doing such a thing?
How are you going to raise the baby without a dad?
Ma'am.
I mean, think about it.
Because there's no dad around,
there's no one to stop her from crying all night.
And you didn't have anyone...
to massage your breasts when you had mastitis.
Plus, if the dad was here, he'd be able to help out.
Imagine how nice that would be. Things would also be easier for me.
I wonder how young people manage to live like this these days.
Ma'am.
I don't need your help, so you no longer need to work here.
What did I say?
I'll wire your pay, so please leave.
Thank you for your work.
My gosh, do you think I won't be able to go?
I was going to quit anyway because it was getting so tiring.
Gosh, I'm glad.
I have a lot of other places I can go work at.
He'll come back next month to pay the rest of the rent...
and sign the contract.
- Okay. - Let's go.
- You made a great choice. - I think so.
The house is really clean. It's a really nice purchase.
It really was nice.
It's located at a very convenient area.
It's a great place to live alone.
- I'll see you later. - Okay.
("A One Group's Abuse of Power Only Gets Worse")
- Hey, Sang Hyuk. - Can we meet?
Hyun Joon, how did things end up like this?
You abuse your power,
and you even tried to make me go bankrupt.
I grew up seeing Dad frequently socializing...
with the employees of his subcontractors.
I mean, Mom and Dad also started out as subcontractors...
and managed to come this far.
They should know better than anyone how hard things are for them.
How did A One Group become like this?
Does justice even exist in A One Group?
I'm very embarrassed...
to everyone including you.
Dad did have an old mindset of managing the business,
but he was still humane about it.
He gave enough profit for the subcontractors to get by.
But after Kyung Shin took charge and become the CEO...
I warned her so many times.
Hyun Joon.
Do you love Kyung Shin?
Chairman Shin!
How dare you show up here?
Kim Gyeong Ryeol died because of you!
Yes, you tried to bleed us dry.
Your company kills people, and you're a murderer!
I'm sorry.
Chairman Shin is currently very sad...
about Mr. Kim Gyeong Ryeol's death.
Don't you lie to me. How despicable.
We don't need you here! Get out!
Get out of here right now!
We'll also end up like this.
You'll end up killing us all.
- Get out! - Get out!
- A One is a murderous company! - A One is a murderous company!
I'm sorry.
- Get out! - Get out!
- A One is a murderous company! - A One is a murderous company!
- Get out! - Get out!
- A One is a murderous company! - A One is a murderous company!
- Get out! - Get out!
- A One is a murderous company! - A One is a murderous company!
Hyun Joon, do you love Kyung Shin?
Love?
I'm not sure.
I used to.
But...
I feel like she's turning into a monster.
But I get confused every time I think about Tae Woong.
Tae Woong should grow up with a mom. Don't you think?
Yes, Mr. Moon.
What? Where are you right now?
Okay. I got it.
What's wrong?
Dad went to the funeral.
("Subcontractors Throw Bags of Flour to Chairman Shin of A One Group")
(Chairman Shin of A One Group gets bombarded with flour.)
(I am also Mother)
I noticed this time around that Kyung Shin is trouble.
You need to seize this opportunity.
I can't believe you just said that. I despise you.
If the new CEO starts investigating everything I've done,
I'll get caught having embezzled all the money.
The baby's way too yellow. Something seems weird.
Chairman Shin. Chairman Shin!
What?
