Hyung Suk.
Did you insist on marrying her when everyone was against it...
just so you could put her in that state?
Was this the best you could do?
- Hyung Suk. - If you took her to a big...
- Let me go. - You're at a hospital.
If you quickly took her to a big hospital,
she wouldn't be this bad!
- Calm down. - Let go of me!
Do you have any idea what you've done?
Stop making that stupid face.
What will you do?
What will you do? You ruined Eun Hye!
Stop it.
Calm down.
Come on.
(Episode 9)
I need to talk to you.
I'll call you soon.
Well, it's acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The lungs show signs of an infection.
Her immunity level is low, so she's susceptible to infections.
Her neutrophil count is very low.
It was under control with her medication.
Why did it suddenly drop?
Even if the medication keeps it under control,
the medication can stop working and it can suddenly drop.
If her pneumonia worsens in her current state,
it could be dangerous.
Let's see whether or not the antibiotics work.
Okay.
(President of Donghan, Mr. Kim)
Your call is being forwarded to voicemail. Please...
(President of Dongyoung, Mr. Park)
I hope it works out.
I hope so.
Miss Lee, can we talk?
Yes, ma'am.
What did the bank say? They said to pay back the loan, right?
- Yes. - I knew it.
What about the subcontractors?
They won't even take my calls anymore.
Darn it.
Let's...
just start up the factory.
What?
Can we do that?
What choice do we have?
Let's do it.
(Where's the child support? Send money or take the kid.)
Everyone, we've decided...
to start up the factory again.
Please help out.
What? What was decided?
To run the factory again.
What?
Well... Let's...
go.
What are you doing? Don't you see the repo stickers?
Who cares about that?
We can't leave the factory idle.
We still have parts left in storage.
We need to do something.
If we don't run the lines,
the parts will become...
inventory anyway.
Even still,
can we use the machines with repo stickers on them?
They said as long as we don't damage the stickers,
we can use them.
The presidents of the subcontractors who requested...
the seizure of assets specially requested that we not use them.
We'll get in big trouble.
We won't get in trouble.
At most, the president will be arrested.
What will you do? Can you handle it?
Even Ms. Jung, our cook, was arrested...
and was in a holding cell.
I'll consider it a life lesson and go.
Is that right?
Do you think we're doing this...
because we're afraid you'll go to jail?
Everyone must know they've seized our assets.
Do you think Mr. Park wouldn't have reported it to TM?
Do you think that finicky TM would accept our products?
Not a chance.
If we send them over,
they'll say they're defective.
Stop wasting your time. I can't stand you.
Then what? Sit on our butts out on the street?
We can't do that.
That's right. We did this way or that way.
What's the difference?
Mr. Kim, didn't you say this happened at your old job?
Yes. We just ran the machines at the factory then too.
The company accepted the products too.
See?
They need the products too. What choice do they have?
It's not like we have any other choice.
Let's take this as far as we can.
Hello, Mr. Moon.
I'm calling about Cheongil Electronics.
Mr. Hwang says to shut them down,
but if you'd give me some time...
- Just do as he said. - Pardon?
Mr. Hwang must have a reason for coming to that conclusion.
If you can't persuade him, you should do as he says.
What else can you do?
Might as well.
You know TM is picky, right?
- Yes. - Let's make sure...
they don't have anything to complain about, okay?
Okay!
Quickly, perfectly, with no defects!
Mr. Park.
We didn't think we should fall behind anymore, so...
You don't...
have to run the assembly lines.
What do you mean?
I'm sorry to have to tell you this,
but we, at TM Electronics, concluded...
that we can't work with Cheongil Electronics anymore.
What was that?
What did he just say?
Wait. Hold on.
Although they have repo stickers on them,
we've been coming in and working every night.
If we work hard for a few days,
we can meet the deadline.
That's not the problem.
It's because Cheongil's financial situation...
is irreparable.
I sincerely hoped you'd overcome this and normalize,
but I'm sorry...
it had to end this way.
You hoped we'd overcome this...
and normalize? Who did?
TM? Or you, Park Do Joon?
Give me a break.
Thanks to...
Mr. Oh throwing our contract cancelation at TM...
and shutting down our factory,
our orders...
were given in a rush to Seongwoo,
but I'm sure they couldn't handle it.
So,
you came to make us produce...
what you needed right away somehow.
Once you got us to produce just what you needed...
as quickly as possible,
you were going to kick us to the curb from the get-go.
You fed us lies about growing together, cooperating,
normalizing the company, and garbage like that,
and tortured us by giving us hope!
You were going to kill us like this anyway!
Hey.
Is it fun toying with people's bread and butter?
Is it? Tell me. Is it fun?
- Mr. Song! - Fine. Fine.
I don't want to talk to him anymore.
There are still things that need to be settled,
so I'll be back.
What's going on?
Is it over for Cheongil?
Of course not.
It's not over,
so no one should cry.
There's no need to, so don't.
(Restricted Area)
Mr. Park.
I have something to tell you.
Which is what?
You had the victim who Ms. Jung injured...
sign the settlement...
which I'm truly grateful for.
I wanted to tell you how grateful I am.
Also,
I wanted to thank you for...
everything you did for us.
I don't agree...
with what Mr. Song said back there.
But he's right.
The outcome...
speaks for itself.
TM Electronics terminated its contract with us.
I know.
What will you do about the employees?
What can I do anyway?
I'm sure they'll all find a way to live.
I'm not responsible for their lives.
This house...
I'm planning on selling it. What do you think?
You said it wasn't yours though.
It's not.
That's why I haven't been able to sell it so far.
Then how can you sell it now?
This house...
is yours.
It's in your name.
That's why the creditors didn't take it.
You put it in my name so that the creditors can't reach it.
Then ask for a lower price.
It'll sell faster that way.
You'll pay back your debt with it, right?
That's none of your concern.
This house is all that I can give you,
so are you okay with me selling it?
I don't care about any of this.
I'm heading back to the US soon anyway.
Pureun Bank keeps asking us to pay back the loan.
Is there nothing you can do about it?
(From Pureun Bank Mr. Park)
Do you have it?
Well, you see...
I will only hand it over...
on one condition.
A condition?
Miss Lee is threatening to report me to the police...
on embezzlement charges.
- Embezzlement? - Yes.
I deposited company funds into her account...
and let you use it for personal matters.
She thinks that I took the money for myself.
Unbelievable.
Ji Na.
She's not entirely wrong.
You spent some of that money too.
It wasn't chump change either.
Didn't you think I'd know?
The amount must be more than I initially thought...
since it's making you worried.
I'm really sorry, sir.
I was going to put the money back.
I'm telling the truth.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
So,
name your condition.
The embezzlement charges...
Can you take care of that?
Take care of it?
How?
Are you telling me to say that I took it all?
Well, no, but...
Can't you say you spent it for the company?
I'm really sorry.
Fine.
Whatever. I'll do it.
Then,
I'll send you the files you need right now.
The rest of the ledger will be forwarded later.
(From Koo Ji Na)
- Hello. - Hi.
This is...
the ring I bought from here last month.
For personal reasons,
the wedding...
has been called off.
I'd like to get a refund on these.
Would that be possible?
I'm sorry, but that'll be difficult since they were custom-made.
Many couples argue while preparing for the wedding.
A lot still end up getting married though.
How about you just wait for a little?
Does that really happen?
Yes.
My goodness, seriously.
My gosh.
(You're late on rent. Either pay your rent or get out.)
My gosh, will you hurry?
My goodness gracious.
Open this door for me.
Unbelievable.
That little...
These are the wedding rings I got...
for me and my girlfriend.
You can keep them for a while. But please don't sell them.
Meanwhile, I'll do my best to pay my rent as fast as possible.
How much did this cost?
1,400 dollars.
Okay, then.
Hurry up and pay me your rent.
If you don't, I'll just sell these.
Okay.
Thank you.
My goodness.
- Hey, Yong Soo. - Sun Shim, are you home?
- Yes. - Is Jin Shim home?
She went outside with the kids.
Why do you ask?
Hello?
Why did he hang up?
Sun Shim.
What's all this?
They're sausages and mini pizzas.
Why are there so many of them?
I was supposed to deliver these to an internet cafe,
but something went wrong.
Sun Shim, put the sausages in the veranda.
And put the mini pizzas in the freezer for me. Thank you.
But there are so many. Yong Soo, wait. This is...
My gosh.
Gosh, whatever.
- Hey, Aunt Sun Shim. - Hey, you guys.
- Where's your mom? - Dad started running away,
so she went to catch him.
I see.
Aunt, what's that?
They're sausages and mini pizzas.
I love sausages and pizza.
Nice!
Are they all ours?
Are we always going to eat sausages and pizza?
- Nice! - Nice!
- My gosh. - Let go of me.
I told you not to do anything!
The least you can do is just stay still!
- Hello. - Hello.
Goodnight.
This is so embarrassing.
Will you please stop getting yourself in trouble?
How can you say that to your husband?
You're unbelievable.
When a guy does business,
it's inevitable to make mistakes once in a while.
"Once in a while"? You've failed so many businesses already.
This is honestly nothing compared to what Sun Shim did.
And I'm doing this to earn a living for my family.
Jin Shim. Yong Soo. Stop fighting and come inside.
- Shut it. - Don't get involved.
Do you think I don't know why you started...
an internet cafe food delivery business?
You wanted to play games there and earn money at the same time.
You got yourself in a mess because you tried to find an easy route.
- "An easy route"? - Yes.
- Me? - Yes, you.
My gosh.
Is life easy to you?
Does it look like I have an easy-going life?
Are you serious?
Will you please... My gosh, that darn jerk!
What's that?
I brought some snacks for the employees.
We don't have any money to buy snacks for the employees.
No, I bought them with my own money.
I bought them at a cheap price from my brother-in-law.
Why did you bother? You don't have a lot of money either.
Hey, Ms. Choi.
Hey.
Jeong Woo. Yeong Sik. What's up?
We're going to quit.
A lot of other factories are shutting down as well.
How are you going to find a job?
So I'm thinking of doing manual labor.
We all need to do what we can to earn a living.
I'll give you guys a call if things get better with the company...
- or I find a job opening. - Okay, Ms. Choi.
You'd better come running if I call you, okay?
Hey, wait. Take this.
- No, it's okay. - You don't even know what it is.
- No, it's okay. - Stay still.
Just stay still.
I really don't have much to give.
Take this and buy yourselves a meal.
And you could get hurt doing manual labor, so be careful.
Always be careful not to get injured, okay?
Thank you.
Bye, everyone.
(Mean Witch)
Sun Shim, I know you're going through a lot.
Go ahead and sue me if you want.
But you should meet Mr. Oh and check the facts first.
If you don't, you might also get sued for libel.
I heard about Mr. Jung.
I killed a good man.
I'm the scumbag. Me.
At least you know.
At least Mr. Yoo...
came to the grave and got on his knees.
What about you?
What were you doing all this time?
He only showed up because of the repo stickers.
We should've sent them sooner.
I have...
no right to say anything,
but please know this.
I really wanted to be free from TM...
and work with you.
I wanted the powerless to team up...
and work together and actually enjoy it.
If only TM hadn't sabotaged our company,
this would've never happened,
and Mr. Jung wouldn't have died.
Are you sure TM sabotaged you?
I went to China and confirmed it myself.
We worked for years...
to win over their largest home appliance store,
and they agreed to sell our products.
But TM told them not to sell our products.
That otherwise, they will pull out...
all of TM's products.
So...
they had no choice but to return our vacuum cleaners.
I sat on the street and cried buckets.
I went to the Han River and bought charcoal briquettes.
I did all sorts of things to die,
but I couldn't succeed.
Still, that wasn't right.
What did the people remaining do wrong?
That's right.
Even if I do die,
I should pay back my debt first.
(Donghan Corporation Kim Tae Woo)
It's so hard to get money...
that's rightfully yours in this world.
Sorry it's so late.
I should've repaid you sooner.
This...
(Daeho Jung Myung Won)
is Mr. Jung's.
I...
can't face his wife.
Give it to her for me.
It's me. Make time for me today.
- It won't take long. - Okay.
Yes, I'll be there.
How's Eun Hye?
Luckily, she's getting much better.
I heard you met Seongwoo's president.
I did, but how did you find out?
Seongwoo is our subcontractor, so obviously I see him often.
He said he was scouting Cheongil's head of sales.
But I heard you refused.
Yes.
Switching over to a competitor didn't sit well...
with me.
It's unethical, too.
You don't have to look at it that way.
Look at the big picture.
The big picture?
Cheongil is done for, and the remaining workers will split up.
So, if you go to Seongwoo first and bring them in,
wouldn't it help you both?
They'd be happy because they'll have jobs.
Seongwoo would be happy to get skilled technicians.
And TM...
would be happy since we can get quality products.
Moreover,
you should think about Eun Hye first and foremost...
if you want to do your job right as her guardian.
I can do my job right as her guardian...
even if I don't go to Seongwoo.
I don't want to go to a competitor of the company where I worked...
So,
you'll stay loyal to a company that's going under?
Is your sense of loyalty more important than family?
Is it?
Think hard about why...
I'm saying this.
This is so cute.
- Isn't it cute? - It is.
- It's cute. - So cute.
Look at the polka dots.
This is pretty too.
Which is prettier?
I think this one is prettier.
This is pretty.
It's adorable.
We need to quit being a subcontractor,
and invent our own vacuum cleaner.
- Got that? - Yes.
Okay. In China...
I'll bring you some water.
(Pureun Bank Manager Mr. Park Sung Joon)
(Pureun Bank Manager, Mr. Park)
(Park Sung Joon)
(New Text Message)
(From Pureun Bank Manager, Mr. Park, I had fun thanks to you)
(Pureun Bank Manager Mr. Park Sung Joon)
My gosh.
Mr. Oh.
My gosh.
Long time no see.
I was worried because I heard some bad rumors.
I'm glad you're well.
You can't live and die as you please.
You must live even if you want to die,
and you must die even if you want to live.
- That's life. - That's true.
I thought I did my best for you, but what?
Early repayment?
Isn't that a bit cruel?
There must be some kind of misunderstanding.
This wasn't my decision.
I have rules to follow, you see.
Well, I can't blame you for that.
You're an upright man.
But what if...
I obeyed the rules regarding these incidents?
Over the years, I worked hard to be on good terms with you.
With how much and how often...
are all written here.
I thought about who I should go to first with this...
and I came to you, Mr. Park.
What is it that you're getting at?
Right.
Cheongil's Mr. Oh...
threatened you with a ledger?
Unbelievable.
You let him intimidate you with that?
It's not just the ledger.
He even has the texts we exchanged on the day he served me.
The evidence is damning.
Considering the atmosphere here,
I'll be done for if this gets out.
I'll be fired.
(Watch Your Hands)
(Warning: Extra-high Voltage)
Mr. Oh?
Kisan, it's you.
Hi.
Hello, Mr. Oh.
It's been a while.
So, you see...
President Oh is at the factory.
- What? - What did you say?
- What? - What?
President Oh?
- Yes. - Really?
No way...
Unbelievable.
Mr. Oh!
Right.
Long time no see, everyone.
Mr. Oh, what are you doing?
Isn't it obvious? I'm taking off the stickers.
It's against the law to take off seizure stickers.
I know.
- But... - But Mr. Oh!
You can't do this.
I had the sequestration lifted.
Here. It's all written in this notice.
(Termination of Sequestration)
- Miss Lee. - Yes?
The early repayment doesn't have to be made to Pureun Bank.
I sorted it out with the bank branch manager.
Here.
Pay the salaries with that and spend it on what's necessary.
- What? - But...
Our salaries?
- Really? - My gosh.
How much is it?
(100,000 dollars)
- 200,000 dollars. - Nice!
Hold on. Don't just stand there, Miss Lee.
Go to the bank and deposit our salaries.
I'll get going.
- Yes. - Nice!
I can't believe it.
My gosh.
Hold on a second.
Can we let her go by herself?
What if she runs off with it?
She'll only become a criminal if she runs,
so why take that chance?
I can't believe you'd doubt her like this.
He probably thinks everyone is like him.
There's no need to get upset over a joke, guys.
Gosh, we're saved.
Tell me about it.
Our salaries have been wired.
I was about to die from not being paid.
Yes, it's the tenant living in the rooftop apartment.
I just deposited the rent.
Can I stop by and get back my ring later?
- What? - Thanks.
One moment it's in, one moment it's out.
My salary...
only stays in my account for like a second.
Soon, I'll be left with nothing.
Credit card bills, cell phone bill, and loan interest.
Hyenas take everything I have,
and I'm left with nothing.
It's the same for those who live on monthly salaries.
(To Na Eun's Mom)
Anyway, the fire has been quenched for now.
(President Oh Man Bok)
Yes, it's me.
I just wired the money...
for Mother's dental implant.
I'm sorry for the delay.
Right.
Of course.
It's your mom.
I just wired the money for your school trip.
Yes, right. So...
What's with all these endless payments? Gosh.
Ms. Choi, I wired Jeong Woo and Yeong Sik's salaries too.
Did you? Good job.
Do you know where Mr. Oh is?
He left.
I see.
Where? To his house?
What house?
I hear that the money came from selling the house.
He sold the house to get us that money?
Yes.
It probably meant a lot to him...
considering how he built the house from the ground up.
(Cheongil Electronics)
Ms. Jung, what are you doing?
Gosh, it looks like a different room.
- Why are you cleaning this room? - Bring him here.
- What? - Who?
President Oh.
Tell him to stay here.
I'll cook for him.
(Choi Young Ja)
- Hey, what's up? - Where are you?
- What are you doing? - Me?
I'm in my hotel room, and I just ordered room service.
Stop living so pitifully...
and move into the lounge.
Why would I go there?
Cut the nonsense and just hang up.
Gosh, stop acting like a widower.
Hey, I'm a divorced single father.
Hello?
My gosh, he's unbelievably stubborn.
My goodness, he didn't even let me finish my sentence.
A widower, my foot.
Are you on your way to see President Oh? Should I go with you?
Whatever. I'm not going to go.
Just tell him to do whatever he wants.
President Oh, are you inside?
Have you been well, President Oh?
I'd be a lot well if you didn't come by.
Why did you have to come all the way here to bother me?
Ms. Jung asked me to bring you to the office.
She cleaned the room and is waiting for you to come.
Really?
Why would she do something so unnecessary?
Forget it. I like it here.
President Oh, can you please just come back?
I missed you a lot.
You missed me?
You hated me.
How did you know that?
Do you think I'm dumb?
You always avoided me so you wouldn't have to run into me.
You guys just like that I pay you.
I already know that you all hate me.
So how could you have possibly missed me?
You probably resented and cursed me.
No, that's not it.
I know it's only been a short while,
but I realized that it's really hard to be a president of a company.
I figured it must've been really difficult and lonely for you.
And I felt guilty...
for always slacking off at work.
That's enough. Stop talking nonsense...
and go back.
- President Oh. - Go on.
Goodbye.
I have one more question.
It's about Ms. Koo.
She stole the company funds from my bank account.
Did you know that?
Oh, right.
Did you sue her?
No, I wrote a complaint. But I didn't file it yet.
Good. Don't sue her.
She didn't embezzle that money.
I spent that money for the company.
Really?
Yes.
Go on.
Okay.
Ms. Jung is waiting for you, so hurry up and come back.
Ms. Jung asked me to bring you to the office.
She cleaned the room and is waiting for you to come.
Darn it.
Ma'am, you can't be pulling this so close to the street.
I only just bought this car.
Why were you pushing this on a street that's meant for cars?
Why crawl out of your house in the first place?
Give me your phone number.
Why are you taking my phone? I asked you for your number.
Is this your number?
Can't you hear me?
If you can't hear, you should get a hearing aid.
No wonder you bumped your wheel cart into my car.
Hurry up and take it away.
Keep your distance. Go that way.
Don't come outside starting from tomorrow!
What a lousy day.
My goodness, look at her.
This is really expensive!
Why would you pick this up in the middle of the street?
Here. You need to wear this in order to be safe.
Here. Come on. Take it.
Young Ja, come over here.
She totally scratched my car.
Help her wear this.
Teach her some work so she can pay me back by working here.
Tell her to work in the kitchen or something.
You'd better work and pay me back!
Darn it.
Is this enough?
Is this okay?
Then...
Ms. Jung, is someone inside?
Did someone come?
Just a second.
Ms. Jung!
Mr. Oh is back, but there's nothing he can do.
All he can do is sell the company.
Right.
There are no other options at the moment.
We just need Seongwoo to step it up at the right time.
You never know what surprises we may encounter,
so keep an eye on Mr. Oh.
Yes, sir.
Sir, what about Park Do Joon?
Just handle him.
Come in.
You asked to see me?
Where are we with the retrieval of...
the four million dollars we invested at Cheongil?
Right.
I'm drafting a way to retrieve the money, sir.
You know the company has been tight lately.
We need it back as soon as possible.
The four million dollars...
weren't given so that they can run the company.
We bought their machines and equipment.
So?
Since the investment wasn't made in cash,
it'll be impossible to retrieve it that way.
Besides, the machines are now worn down.
Bringing back the machines...
will only cost us...
So? Are you suggesting that we extend charity?
You failed to help Cheongil get back on its feet...
and are saying you can't retrieve our investment money.
This time, your termination will be for a good reason.
You'll be fired for costing us a huge loss.
So go and do your job.
You're dismissed.
Mr. Song.
Is Mr. Oh back for good now?
I guess so.
He's even living in the building now.
He leaves on his own accord and comes back when he feels like it.
President Oh and Miss Lee.
We have two bosses now.
I'm not fond of Mr. Oh right now,
but Miss Lee being the company president...
is a joke.
Still, it was her...
who worked the hardest to save the company.
Even cows can work hard, you know.
She has zero knowledge of how to run a company.
What makes an owner is money.
We can't work for someone who can't pay us.
- Right? - Right.
I agree.
Yes, you're right.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
What will happen to you now?
I'll just go back to my old position.
I was happy being the clueless company accountant.
I just have to do what's asked...
and receive my salary at the end of the month.
Of course.
And you'll keep a little for yourself while doing so.
No, I won't ever do that again.
- Thanks for the coffee. - Me too.
Aren't you suspicious of why Mr. Oh has come back...
at this very moment?
Of course.
I can't stop thinking of a reason.
Why did he come back? What for? Aren't I right?
- You are. - Right?
I have no idea.
Mr. Park!
Our company president is back.
- Sorry? - Mr. Oh came back,
paid our subcontractors and lifted the sequestration.
He took care of the early repayment order from the bank...
and even our salaries were paid.
Where is he right now?
Follow me.
Mr. Oh.
This is Park Do Joon.
He's the employee from TM Electronics.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Park Do Joon.
Right, I'm Oh Man Bok.
I wanted to discuss the remaining issues...
between Cheongil and TM.
- TM Electronics... - Stop.
I'm not the owner of this company.
I'm not even its employee,
so talk to Miss Lee instead.
The president of this company...
is Miss Lee.
(Miss Lee)
What about the company and the employees?
Why won't you say anything?
Why on earth did you come back then?
What on earth could he be up to?
We can't let him ruin what we carefully planned.
I'd like to get on your good side.
Then you need to prove that you're worth my time.
- Mr. Yoo's going to Seongwoo. - Why our competitor though?
