Sang Pil, how are things going?
How much do you have?
Get some more.
That's not enough to satisfy Congressman Oh.
Don't feel bad about losing your company, okay?
Bye.
Come in.
I need to tell you something.
What is it?
I can't go abroad.
What?
Why can't you leave?
Do you think you're going abroad to see the sights?
I'm sending you abroad to avoid being charged.
How dare you say that?
I'm not saying I'll never go. I just have to leave later.
Leave later? Why?
While digging at...
the Hoseo site, they found what could be cultural relics.
We contacted the government...
and they sent this.
What's this?
They want to investigate, so we must halt construction.
And as the executive in charge, they want to see me.
I'll go to the site now.
They're sending someone now, so I should be there.
Sort it out quick...
and say you'll appoint someone else to take over your duties.
Yes, sir.
Darn it.
Why did this have to happen?
(Episode 119)
Let's have the meeting tomorrow.
I need to go to the site.
Yes, sir.
But is what they found really a relic?
We have to see first. That's why Mr. Oh's going.
We had no idea it was such a big deal.
Then Mr. Oh,
when will you go abroad?
We thought you'd leave right away.
I'll fill you in when I get back.
Yes, sir.
He acted like he'd leave right away.
It's all so confusing.
Han Kyung Ho speaking.
Jeong Tae.
Did I bother you when you're busy?
It's fine. It's lunchtime.
I talked to Jeong Hoon and something bothered me.
Like what?
He asked if his father-in-law...
was involved in our lost bag of gold bars.
And? Did you tell him?
How could I?
I wondered if you said something to make him wonder. No, right?
Why would I tell him what you won't?
Then why did he ask?
I felt really bad.
Jeong Tae.
I think he should know.
I know it's a bad time because everyone knows your dad defected.
But what if he finds out later?
Wouldn't he be really angry with us?
I know that.
We're making him look like a fool.
But we can't tell. He'd want to do something.
And Mr. Hwang won't just take it.
That will ruin his family and ours.
I want him to leave not knowing.
It hurts, but I'll stop trying to clear my name for now.
It can't be helped.
Okay then.
- Do you have it? - Yes.
I gathered all the money I could.
Let's show Congressman Oh how serious we are.
It'll take a while to sell Lucky Entertainment.
I'll tell him I'll see him as soon as that's done.
Okay.
We're paying him off,
so I can't appear to be involved. I need you to go on your own.
Okay.
It's not over yet.
You need to stay on his good side until the last minute.
I will. Don't worry.
- Go ahead. - Okay.
Why are you so late? You said you'd just check the boutique.
I did that and saw a doctor as well.
What for?
I need to continue my treatment in Italy.
I asked Doctor Kim to ask if there's a famous doctor over there.
- Mi Jin. - What?
Can't you stay here and get treated?
Why should you move abroad?
Mom, I want to have some fun alone with Jeong Hoon.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Can't you be happy for me too?
I can't.
I get upset thinking about living without you already.
You don't have to be upset.
You'll be really busy when dad becomes a congressman.
Why not? You'll be a congressman's wife.
- Do you think so? - I do.
You can show off and enjoy life yourself.
Don't just think about me, okay?
Okay. Not anyone gets to be a congressman's wife.
But still, it would be more fun if you were around.
Don't go, Mi Jin.
If your dad's too busy to deal with the seamstress' son,
I'll sort it out for you.
Will you stop it?
Stop talking about Soon Young's son! I'm sick of it!
Why are you sitting up? Why not lie down?
I just met Mr. Yoon.
Why did you see him again?
I can't give up on him.
When I said Min Su's with the other family, he seemed pleased.
He wants to see you again.
Stop talking about him. Min Su will come home soon.
Both Jeong Hoon and his mom said they'll send him back.
Do you want to use Min Su to get Jeong Hoon back?
What?
Are you like this because you feel bad...
now that you know why he left you?
It's not like that.
I just want him to settle down soon.
And for me to get Min Su back and raise him well.
That's all I want.
My gosh. You're such an idiot.
You sweet thing.
You look just like your dad.
Jeong Hoon was such a quiet baby too.
You gave us a hard time for the first few days,
but you calmed right down now that you're used to us.
Mother. Send him back to Soon Young.
It's what Jeong Hoon wants.
We can't upset Mi Jin's family...
when they're helping cover up we're guilty of association.
Forget about that for now. Did Jeong Tae tell you anything?
His CEO has a mole on the back of his hand.
Does that mean anything?
I'm the one who lost the bag, so I don't dare keep asking...
if he found anything out.
Is there no way to find who stole the bag?
He'd have told us if he'd found out.
I'm reluctant to ask because...
I'm afraid he'll get hurt while asking people if they know anything.
Can't you forget about it too?
What can we do now?
There's nothing in here.
Or here. What about that paper?
Nothing.
Don't worry then.
I guess Mr. Cha got through to the reporter.
What are you all doing?
Is there interesting news?
You don't need to know. Stay out of it.
Jin Kyu, why haven't I seen Mr. Cha all day?
I think something's up at Daeguk.
He's been busy all day.
Mr. Cha.
Is there something on the club?
No. We checked the papers in case and found nothing.
Why won't you do a press conference?
You said you'd arrange one.
We can't explain something no one reported.
Jin Kyu, keep tracking where the rumor started.
- Don't just wait. - Okay.
Choon Ja, you go ahead.
Mr. Cha.
Do you want to talk?
You'll explain this away for me properly, won't you?
Why ask something so obvious?
You can relax.
I'm guilty by association as well.
Why won't you say anything?
You're busy helping out at Daeguk Construction.
Isn't that about my brother and how he's guilty by association?
I'm just as guilty.
Don't worry about that either.
My uncle and I are doing our best to make it go away.
Thank you, Mr. Cha. Thanks so much.
Jeong Tae.
- Hi. - Hello.
Do you know what happened to Bok Shil?
What happened to her?
You don't know yet.
I came in case you were worried.
What happened? Is she in trouble?
If you don't know, leave it. You needn't worry now.
Can we go somewhere to talk for a bit?
Sure.
You hugged me yesterday. What did that mean?
Do you like me too?
Yes, I do.
I realized that only now.
Whenever I saw you with Tae Shik,
I felt really rotten.
Me too.
It really hurt seeing you hang out with Yoon Joo.
My dad told me to go on another blind date.
I said I wouldn't.
- Choon Ja. - What?
I need to take care of something first.
Can you trust me and...
wait for me a little bit?
Yes. I know I'm a coward.
But...
I want to...
tell the rest about us when my honor's restored.
Can you do that?
Yes. I know how you feel and that's good enough for me.
But I'm not saying I'll wait because...
I don't think you're good enough.
I like you as you are.
I need you to know that, okay?
Okay.
I get it.
What should we do now?
Can we go on dates?
Is there something you want to do?
Yes.
Listen up, everyone! This guy is mine now!
Oh Jeong Tae is Kim Choon Ja's!
Hey.
What? Do you not like me? Did that make you hate me now?
You troublemaker.
(Hwang Chang Shik, CEO)
Mr. Chae, come to my office.
- Hey. - Uncle.
- How did it go? - I passed it to him.
I wanted to come here first,
but there was something to take care of at Lucky.
Congressman Oh.
Did I interrupt your busy schedule?
Pardon?
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I'm a nobody,
but I'll do what I can for you and our party.
Yes. Goodbye, sir.
Is it over then?
Yes. Well done. You saved me.
No, Uncle.
Now you can send Jeong Hoon abroad tomorrow.
Sir, you asked to see me?
Yes.
Any news on the relics the workers found at the site?
Not yet, sir.
Mr. Oh went to check for himself and he isn't back yet.
You should've gone with him.
Find out for yourself and get back to me.
Yes, sir.
Wait. Say hello first.
When Jeong Hoon goes abroad, my nephew will take over.
Help him out as best you can.
Yes, sir. I'm pleased to meet you.
I'll do my best.
I hope we get along.
Yes, me too. Goodbye for now.
They found something at a site. When that's sorted out,
I'll send Jeong Hoon abroad.
Get ready to work at Daeguk.
Yes, Uncle.
I'll leave with you.
I need to go to the party office.
Hey, guys.
Do you know who'll take over when Mr. Oh leaves?
- Mr. Hwang decided already? - Yes, he did.
Lucky Entertainment's Cha Sang Pill will take over.
Mr. Cha?
Mr. Hwang just introduced him to me.
Mr. Han, Mr. Oh wants to see you in his office.
Mr. Oh's back?
Yes, I saw him in the hallway.
Well? Is it really a relic?
They need to test it.
We'll have to halt construction for a while.
That's bad. It'll increase our costs.
It can't be helped. I can't leave the country yet.
They want me to stay on, so I can't leave.
Did you tell Mr. Hwang?
Not yet. He's out.
I'll talk to him at home.
- Jeong Hoon. - What?
Mr. Cha will take over from you.
Mr. Hwang introduced him to Mr. Chae.
I heard about that.
You'll feel so uncomfortable.
I'll have to manage.
But shouldn't you tell Mr. Hwang?
He leaked our proposal to Haemyung...
during the Hoseo Dam bidding war.
Even if they're related, he can't leave Daeguk to someone like him.
I think Mr. Hwang should know.
You have a point.
Okay. I'll think about it.
Bok Shil.
- You're home from work? - Yes.
Is everything okay?
I checked today's papers and found nothing.
I guess Mr. Cha sorted it out with the reporter.
I'm glad. And grateful to Mr. Cha.
He said I needn't worry about being guilty by association.
He said so?
Yes. I got so bothered that I asked him first.
That I'm involved too and if he doesn't mind.
He told me not to worry.
He'd be annoyed and upset because of Jeong Hoon,
but he doesn't show it around me.
Cheer up now.
And don't stay out alone.
You should keep Choon Ja close for moral support.
I will.
Thanks for your concern.
Mi Jin.
We might have to postpone our departure.
Postpone it? Why?
Something came up at work that I must sort out.
How long will it take?
I don't know but I'll wrap it up as soon as I can.
Are you making an excuse because you want to stay?
How can you say that?
Mi Jin, your dad's home.
I'll talk to Father first, then explain to you.
I don't like it.
I want to leave as soon as possible.
Jeong Hoon.
We sorted out your father's status.
Thank you.
"Thank you"?
Do you think that's why...
I heard something came up at work.
Sort that out fast and disappear.
I volunteered to help only to speed up your departure.
How did things go at the site?
Did they determine they're relics?
They need a few days to confirm.
That's a nuisance.
Hand things over to Sang Pil and leave as soon as possible.
The government nominated me to be in charge.
I said that's my decision.
Father.
Let me sort this out before I leave.
Excavation means we'll have to adjust our schedule...
and that will increase our expenses.
We already got a bank loan to cover our finances.
You need someone to handle all that.
As you know, the whole country will show interest in...
the discovery and excavation of a relic.
If it turns out to be a national treasure,
it would become a great opportunity.
If people hear that we willingly suffered a great loss...
to aid in the discovery of a national treasure,
we'll gain the public and government's trust and respect.
Not only will our brand name be more valuable,
wouldn't that help your future career as a politician?
Father.
I know what you're concerned of.
I heard you covered up my status as a defector's son.
Give me another chance.
I want to solve this...
and at least try to make up for the trouble I caused you.
Sort it out as soon as you can, okay?
Yes, Father.
There's...
something else I wasn't sure I should tell you about.
If you want to say something, say it. I want to rest.
Why don't you find my replacement among the directors?
I'm not sure you should put Sang Pil in charge.
Why is that? Are you concerned that...
you'll lose your position to Sang Pil forever?
Last time,
the person who leaked our proposal to Haemyung.
It was Sang Pil.
What?
Are you framing him?
Was it...
Was it really him?
Yes.
How dare he?
I should just...
Soon Young, why don't you see Mr. Yoon again?
I still think you're losing out. Soon Young?
I need to go out.
Where are you going? What's that?
Where are you going?
I can't marry the guy instead.
What a pity.
Bok Shil.
You can come along?
You bet. I'm your manager.
I can't let you go out on your own.
Kyung Ho said I should keep you close at times like this.
We thought the same thing. Let's go.
- Soon Young. - Bok Shil.
Thanks for your help last time.
It's fine, really.
I made some diapers for Min Su.
You made his diapers?
Yes. You don't have to thank me.
I just adore the kid.
Thank you.
Are you here to see Min Su?
I'll come with you.
I'll be fine on my own. You can go on your way.
Are you sure? My grandma's on her own.
Why do I feel so sorry for her?
Min Su, do you like it?
Grandma, it's Soon Young. I'm coming in.
Why is she back?
Min Su.
Grandma, can I hold him?
I brought him some baby food.
You needn't worry about him.
Grandma. I heard how Jeong Hoon's guilty by association.
I don't resent him anymore.
I told him about it too.
If I'd known back then, I'd have let him go.
- Soon Young. - Grandma.
I'll let you register Min Su as your family.
Do you mean that?
Yes, you made the right decision. That's what you should do.
But let me raise him instead.
I'll raise him well and when he's older,
I'll send him to you.
Let me do that, Grandma.
Okay.
If you'll let us register him as our own, I can't demand for more.
Jeong Hoon wanted me to give him back.
Thank you, Grandma.
Let me...
Can I keep him for a few more days?
I've grown so attached to him.
Take a few more days to recover first.
I'll do that then.
Thank you.
Can I hold him for a while?
Min Su.
(Lucky Entertainment)
People are so funny. It's like they've never seen a singer before.
I don't think that's it. I need to go first.
Bok Shil, wait for me!
What should we do?
Mr. Cha.
(Singer Oh Se Ra)
(Worked at a Club Before Her Debut)
Mr. Cha.
Don't read it.
What should I do now?
Se Ra.
What have you been doing?
You said it wouldn't go to press!
Jin Kyu, call Reporter Han now.
Okay.
Give it to me.
He won't answer? Why won't you say anything?
Se Ra, don't you worry.
- Choon Ja, look after her for me. - Okay.
Set up a press conference right now.
- Hurry. - Yes, sir.
(Daeguk Construction)
Mr. Oh.
- Hi. - You're going out?
To the government office.
I hope you sort it out soon.
Kyung Ho.
I'm going to stay here for a while.
- Did Mr. Hwang say you could? - Yes.
It works for me.
I felt bad about leaving everything to Jeong Tae.
And yesterday,
I told Mr. Hwang that Mr. Cha leaked our proposal...
during the Hoseo bid.
What did he say?
Will he still make him your successor?
He didn't say what he'd do, but it looked like he'd sort it out.
Go on inside.
See you later.
Kyung Ho.
Se Ra's past as a club singer was printed in the papers.
Did you read it?
Someone printed it?
Se Ra's career's over now.
See you around.
What? Se Ra sang at a club?
Apparently so.
Mr. Cha's making a fuss about...
holding a press conference to explain it.
Do you want me to stop it?
That's not enough.
I want her movie role.
Why are you hesitating?
You know how hard my dad worked...
to get you into politics.
Okay, I get the message.
It's me.
Get over here, Sang Pil.
Pack me a few more gimbap.
- Okay. - Thanks.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Your daughter sang at a club?
What?
What are you talking about?
There's a huge article about her in the paper.
I was envious about her fame but not anymore. Let's go.
- Bye. - Bye.
What was she talking about?
I'll have a look.
(Singer Oh Se Ra)
My goodness.
What's wrong?
What's this? What's going on?
Don't worry, Mom. I'll check.
Mom, I'm sure something's wrong.
Why would she go there?
That's right.
Try to calm down and wait for news.
Bok Shil. Bok Shil!
Who are you?
Where's Bok Shil? Where's the CEO?
Are you Se Ra's older brother?
Calm down. Everyone's at the press conference.
Where is it?
It's restricted. You can't go inside.
Just tell me where they are!
My gosh.
This is wrong. It's not true.
This is nonsense.
It's not wrong if it's here in black and white.
I didn't think she was like that, but I'm really disappointed.
Be quiet.
Bok Shil's not that kind of girl.
We can't be sure about that.
She went to an inn with a guy when she lived on her own.
She spent the night at an inn?
It's not like that.
What's wrong with you now?
You know they ended up there because of the curfew.
Even if you don't like her because she liked Kyung Ho, we know her.
You never know.
I don't exactly like her family,
but I didn't think she was that sort.
How did this...
Where's the floor manager?
- See? He quit. - Be quiet.
I don't think he quit.
He must be out of his mind because he read this.
What is it?
Oh my gosh.
Isn't this Jeong Tae's sister?
She got up to no good behind everyone's back.
Does Mr. Cha like her despite all this?
(Oh Se Ra Press Conference)
- Hello. - You made it.
- It's been a while. - Hi.
- We're waiting. - Still?
- What's going on? - Goodness.
Where are they?
Jin Kyu. Where's Mr. Cha?
Mr. Hwang called him to his office.
He'll be here soon. Let's wait.
How much longer must we wait? All the reporters are here.
- Uncle. - What took you so long?
I had some urgent business. I'm sorry.
Forget about the press conference.
How do you know about that?
Hye Rin was here.
Cancel the press conference and give her the movie role.
Why won't you answer?
Was Hye Rin the one who got the article printed?
That's none of my business.
You just have to do as I say.
I can't do that.
Jeong Hoon's sister's career's at stake.
Get a grip!
Are you trying to ruin things at the last minute over her?
Did you forget how hard we tried to keep my candidacy alive?
Hye Rin is Congressman Oh's daughter.
Let me talk to the press.
Jeong Hoon's sister never worked at a club.
We need to explain that so she can keep working.
Fine.
Then I won't let you work at Daeguk Construction.
Uncle.
You leaked our proposal to Haemyung...
when we were vying for the bid.
How can I leave Daeguk to someone like that?
- What? - Get out.
I apologize. Give me another chance.
Will you oust Jeong Hoon...
and take over my company or not?
Is it me or Se Ra?
It's up to you.
- What about the conference? - How long must we wait?
- When will you begin? - What's this, a game?
- What's wrong with you? - We don't have all day.
- We have no time. - Get out here.
- Let's get it over with! - What are you up to?
- How long must we wait? - This isn't funny.
- When will you show up? - Let's do this.
Jin Kyu, you go out there.
No.
I'll talk to them. I'm not scared.
Wait here a bit. Mr. Cha will show up.
- There she is. - That's her.
(Oh Se Ra Press Conference)
Did you work at a club?
- When did you start? - Talk to us.
- Do you admit to it? - Sit down.
Did you work at a club or not?
Can you confirm this?
When did you first start?
- Tell us. - Do you admit to it?
- What's going on? - Say something.
- Speak up. - Why won't you talk?
- Speak up. - You need to say something.
- Please explain. - Speak.
Don't just stand there!
- Is it true? - What's going on?
Stop.
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho.
(Through the Waves)
Are you two dating?
I left you alone believing that Mr. Cha would look after you.
What'll you do about her now?
Mi Jin asked for an infertility specialist?
Do you think my uncle or I can ignore his wishes?
- Why didn't you tell me? - You won't give up on your son.
What does he think he can find out?
- I really can't stand you. - Kyung Ho.
- Mi Jin isn't infertile. - Infertile?
- You aren't going anywhere. - Register him as Jeong Hoon's.
Infertile, infertile!
No. I'll sort it out myself.
