(Episode 39)
(Secretary Min)
Hwa Kyung. What shall I do with Mr. Seo?
Hwa Kyung.
We can't hide him from President Shin forever.
If he finds out that...
you're involved with Woo Jung's abduction...
Why were you touching my phone?
It kept on ringing.
It's late. I should go.
I'll give you a ride, Hwa Kyung.
No, that's okay.
Can you give me a ride, Mr. Yoon? I have something to tell you...
about Mr. Seo's documents.
Okay, Do Bin. I'll drop off Woo Jung.
Let's go.
Goodbye.
Mr. Yoon, do you like Hwa Kyung?
What?
Yes.
Do you not care what kind of person she is?
The thing is,
it's tough on me too.
I know Hwa Kyung lies a lot, uses people,
and does bad things but still...
my heart just...
Then you really like her.
That's why I'm worried.
I'm afraid she'll know how you feel about her...
and use that and end up hurting you.
I know that.
That's why I'm struggling.
What if...
Hwa Kyung was behind my abduction?
What?
- She can't be. - If she's capable of that,
will you still go on liking her?
You know how much my mom trusts you.
Hwa Kyung can hurt both me and my mom.
I won't treat her like a friend anymore.
If I must fight her, I will.
I have to go somewhere else. Bye.
I owe you today.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
I have a debt to Mr. Seo.
He was nice to me when I was young.
And I disagree with Grandpa and Dad's way of doing things.
They want to...
control others because they have money and power.
I don't like that.
We agree on something for once.
Then you owe me an apology.
An apology?
You didn't trust me.
You thought this could be a trap.
I'm sorry.
I think I got you wrong all this while.
I sincerely apologize.
I'm pleased I got through to you.
Thanks for walking me back. You can go now.
(Secretary Min)
I told you not to call until I call you.
I'll decide what to do with Mr. Seo.
Okay?
Why are you here?
I wanted to talk to you.
I wonder what brought you all the way here.
- Was it you? - What was?
Was it you?
Did you have Secretary Min abduct me?
Did you?
Don't say such nonsense. Why would I...
To find out where Mr. Seo is.
Before President Shin does.
What?
Was it to gain Producer Yoon's trust? Or...
I don't know why you think so...
I answered your phone when Secretary Min called.
What?
Why did you answer my phone?
What he said doesn't matter.
The look on your face, the glint in your eye tell me it's you.
Why did you do it? Why?
How could you?
You're right.
Like you said, I thought it would be quickest to get you to talk.
I was wrong.
I didn't let him touch you because we were once friends.
Be grateful.
But I can't guarantee that anymore.
I wonder next time if I'll let you go unscathed.
Hwa Kyung.
I won't give in.
Now I know you can hurt me and my mom too.
I won't let it go.
I will protect my family.
What can you do?
I'll look forward to it.
Yeon Hee.
What are you thinking?
Did you not expect me to object?
Why did you?
I respected your wishes.
"My wishes"?
You don't want to leave...
the whole group to President Shin yet.
It bothered me how it seemed that the shareholders were...
forcing you to give up your power.
You should stay in charge for longer.
Is there something going on between you and Myung Joon?
Not at all. Everything's fine.
I can't rest even when I want to.
Hwa Kyung's still young.
She's young but she's very capable.
Dad. Why don't you make her quit broadcasting...
and teach her how to run the company?
What?
Tell me why you're like this. Is it...
You may want to talk and ask, but not now.
I'm still thinking.
What to do with you.
Shall I drown you...
or burn you?
Yeon Hee.
I heard something before.
When punishing a criminal,
the people in this country...
cut him in a few places and tie him to a tree...
that's in the middle of nowhere.
For days on end.
When blood and pus flow from the wounds,
the smell attracts flocks of crows.
They peck the flesh off the criminal's body.
That's how...
they die a slow death.
I like that.
Killing in one go isn't painful enough.
My style is to...
make one feel pain for a long time.
Until...
I decided what to do with you,
do not say a word.
You should sleep in the study tonight.
Is that okay?
She knows that Woo Jung's my daughter.
Mom.
Hwa Kyung.
Why aren't you in bed?
I came to see you.
What happened?
Nothing. I was just bored.
So you smashed a cup?
Look at the shards.
Don't they...
look like snowflakes?
They're so pretty.
Mom, are you okay?
You're bleeding.
This isn't serious.
It doesn't hurt.
I'll get some cream.
I'm fine.
I know you know who Woo Jung is.
I also know...
how much that hurt you.
You know?
My poor girl.
That must've been tormenting.
You had to see that girl, Woo Jung, at work every single day.
That must be terrible.
Hwa Kyung.
What should I do about your dad?
He made us...
so unhappy.
What do you want to do?
I am thinking...
and thinking more about it.
What should I do with him?
What's the best decision that I can make for you and me?
(Blowfish Soup)
We might become in-laws with a rich family...
depending on how we make this plan.
We're standing at a crossroads.
What kind of nonsense are you saying? What plan?
If the Cupid's arrow...
hits the wrong person, the whole thing will go down.
"The Cupid's arrow"?
Between Hwa Kyung and Do Bin or Jae Bin?
Exactly.
- Mom. - Mom.
- I made my decision. - On what?
I decided to have Shin Hwa Kyung as my daughter-in-law.
- Mom. - Mom.
Stop calling me. I'm not going anywhere.
You don't know if she wants them. Why are you getting your hopes up?
There's only one girl, and I have two sons.
One of you will have to give up.
Stop it.
Jae Bin, you have to give up.
Why do I have to give up and not him?
Do you know how much I like her?
Just listen to me. You will never be in her league.
It has to be someone at least like my eldest son...
I'm your son too.
Did you adopt me or something?
Why do you always make me give up? I can't. And I won't.
Listen to that kid.
You were too much this time.
Yes. You can't control your heart.
Mom, I'm not interested in her.
We're just colleagues. We meet because of work.
You don't know what will happen between a man and a woman.
You'll grow attached to her if you keep seeing her.
Who knows?
You might really become a rich man's grandson-in-law.
Good morning, Chairman Oh.
Good morning.
You can go eat in your study for a while.
Your meal is there.
Mom, he's our family too. Why is he eating there?
I'm not sure if he's our family or not.
Honey, we need to talk.
I'm sorry. I have to go out right now.
- It's urgent. - Yeon Hee.
I told you to wait.
I'm still thinking.
What?
You need to know...
how painful it is to wait.
How painful...
and long it is.
See you at home.
(Jamun Medical Company)
Hyeon Sook, don't do this.
This won't help.
I want to do this. Don't mind me.
How can I not mind you? Please leave.
Hyeon Sook, what's wrong? Are you dizzy?
One second.
Wait. Goodness.
Right here. Take it.
Here.
My goodness.
Hyeon Sook, are you okay?
I'm sorry. I sometimes get a terrible stomachache.
I'll feel better if I rest a bit.
Then you should lie down over there.
May I?
Of course. I sometimes sleep there when my body aches.
Lie down.
- Okay. Over here. - Thank you.
Goodness.
(Pharmacy)
She suddenly collapses on the street and takes weird pills.
It looks like she's awfully sick.
My goodness. I fell asleep.
I'm sorry. I came to work, but I fell asleep.
- You can go home early today. - What?
Working hours are between 10am to 6pm. I can't pay you a lot.
You know my situation, so please do understand.
Of course. Thank you.
I'll work hard.
I am giving in because you were so persistent.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Is this the strongest painkiller...
that last-stage cancer patients take?
Goodness, her life must have been so tough if she got that sick.
That poor girl.
What did you say?
I told you to cut off...
Han Joo Won from MBS.
How can you ask me for such an absurd favor?
I'm not asking for a favor.
It's a request.
If you don't accept my request, Miseong will stop...
advertising on MBS altogether.
That's all I wanted to say. I must go.
Oh, right.
What happened to the model contest for the in-house calendar?
(Announcement)
The finalists of the model contest are...
Han Woo Jung and Yoon Do Bin.
No way.
Hwa Kyung got dropped out?
How did Woo Jung, a contract worker make it?
Yes, I thought Hwa Kyung would make it.
Congratulations, Woo Jung.
Woo Jung made it.
Congratulations.
Goodness, Woo Jung got picked out as the in-house calendar model?
Woo Jung and Do Bin will be models for the calendar?
And 1, 2.
Good, 1, 2.
I won't let that happen.
Hwa Kyung, your hand.
Do you want me to congratulate on for becoming the model?
No. I don't want to put too much meaning into that.
I'm trying to hold back as much as possible.
I feel like I'm losing my patience whenever I see you around.
Why? Do you want to abduct me again?
Do you think I can't?
I want you to be gone from before my eyes.
No, I want you to die.
What did you just say?
Hwa Kyung.
What did you just say to her?
Mom.
You want her to disappear?
You want her dead?
And what? An abduction?
Are you the one who did that to her?
Stop it. That's enough.
Mom.
The great Han Joo Won's human too.
You scream in public.
Do you not see anything?
Where you are,
who's watching?
Is your daughter that precious?
What are you doing here, ma'am?
Don't you know outsiders aren't allowed in here?
Am I just an outsider?
I'm here as an advertiser.
Mom, let's go.
Why are you here?
On business.
Why did you come to our office?
Woo Jung's the calendar model and not you.
Yes.
How could she beat you?
Did Han Joo Won rig the voting?
That's nonsense.
Is it? You saw her act like she'd do anything for her daughter.
Stop it, Mom.
I wasn't interested in becoming a model anyway.
It must've hurt your pride.
That's why you should quit and focus on working at Miseong.
It's not time yet. I have to do something first.
What's that?
I want to show everyone that I'm Shin Hwa Kyung,
Chairman Oh's granddaughter, and your daughter.
You put up with that from Hwa Kyung all this while?
No. The calendar model results came out today.
She's upset over that.
And the abduction.
Was it really her?
Tell me. Is that true?
What are you saying?
Miseong's Vice Chairman...
told you to fire Ms. Han?
It's driving me crazy.
First, President Shin...
forced me to get Ms. Han to model for them.
Now they want her gone.
If you don't fire her,
will they cancel their advertisements?
So? Why did you ask to see me?
To fire her?
I wanted to discuss the issue with you.
I'm dying over here.
I have to report this.
I'll see what you decide to do.
She worked here for years...
and contributed a lot to the station.
If you give in to pressure,
I will fight back.
I'll call the Producers' Association and make this public.
He always threatens to make things public.
My goodness.
What a troublemaker.
Do we have next week's story?
Yes. A man's looking for his older brother.
Mr. Yoon.
What?
Sorry.
Is something wrong?
Let's do this in 30 minutes.
Can we talk?
What?
Oh Yeon Hee put pressure on our chief to have me fired?
Yes.
That's why she was here?
Does she know that...
Woo Jung is her husband's daughter?
You know too?
It was written inside the paper lion Woo Cheol gave me.
It's no longer a secret now.
I think she's attacking you for that.
You can't give in.
I won't.
I'll show her who I am.
I have to go somewhere. Continue the meeting without me.
What?
Han Joo Won's there to see Grandpa?
Yes. I think she's here...
to complain that you abducted her daughter.
(Miseong Group)
You're quite quick.
When I'm under attack, I defend myself or fight back.
Isn't that instinct?
Yes, it's instinct.
You should do something to protect what's yours.
Then you'll understand how I feel.
That I carried out...
the slightest of attacks to protect what's mine.
I never wanted what's yours.
You don't have to fight to protect it.
You and Han Woo Jung's existence alone...
has harmed what's mine...
and my pride is in tatters.
That alone is more than enough a reason for me to attack you.
You should know that...
I will be a very worthy opponent,
Vice Chairman Oh.
Coming to complain to my father?
What more can you do?
Good luck.
My daughter...
put pressure on your chief to fire you from MBS?
Yes.
My gosh.
You had no idea?
I didn't.
I don't know why she did such a thing.
I'll make myself very clear.
Go ahead.
Just because you're an advertiser,
you don't have right to threaten the livelihoods of people...
who may seem insignificant but work hard nonetheless.
If...
something like this happens again,
I will muster everything and everyone I can...
and I will fight back.
I get what you're trying to say.
I have one more thing to say.
Han Joo Won's with my father.
Han Joo Won?
Why is she here?
Aren't you curious?
Secretary Min abducted your daughter?
To find out where Mr. Seo is?
Yes.
I don't care...
how important this Mr. Seo is to your company.
What I care about...
is that Secretary Min put my daughter in danger.
Or should I blame whoever it was who gave the order?
What do you want me to do?
I know who ordered...
Woo Jung's abduction.
Who is it?
Shin Hwa Kyung.
Your granddaughter.
What?
Hwa Kyung did such a thing?
Also,
there's something else you must know.
What's that?
Shin Hwa Kyung, the granddaughter you love,
died when she was seven.
The current Hwa Kyung...
is a fake.
(Secret and Lies)
Han Joo Won lied. I'm really Hwa Kyung.
No. She's not your family.
What on earth have you done?
Open the door!
- Stop it. Stop it! - I'm going to finish you all!
- What's your name? - Yoon Jae Bin.
What are you doing here?
Was that him? He said his name is Jae Bin.
Who are my parents?
Did you really adopt me?
