(April 2019)
Vice President Ha sent me.
Come in.
This is all I have at home.
Mr. Ha wanted you to have this.
It's weird...
to have a stranger see me this way.
Please call this number if you need anything.
(Park Sung Jun, Director of VIP Management Team)
I'll get going then.
Your coffee...
This is...
quite old.
Take care.
- Who is it? - I'm here to fix the door!
I never called anyone.
Just a second.
A Park Sung Jun put in the request.
Is it this door?
Yes.
(Park Sung Jun, Director of VIP Management Team)
Thank you.
Do you see someone you know?
Of course not.
Look. There's the celebrity couple of Sung Un Department Store.
Do you know them?
Everyone who works here knows about them.
He's the VP's right-hand man.
Rumor has it that he'll soon become...
the youngest executive.
His wife is the daughter of a wealthy family.
I also heard that she's a sweetheart.
Those types of people must have enjoyable lives.
I guess it's true about how we all have our own luck.
In my next life, I'd love to be born with her life...
instead of this crappy one.
(Episode 9: After the Storm)
I'm sorry.
I know I'm not supposed to call you,
but today...
It was just too...
I'm sorry.
But thank you for coming.
You look better now. I'll get going.
(My other half)
Where are you?
I was about to call you.
Mr. Ha said...
he has to make a report to the chairman tomorrow morning,
so I have to go back to work.
Will you run late?
I don't think we can do this today.
Let's talk tomorrow.
I don't care if you come home late. I'll wait.
I'll be done in the early morning.
Come even if it's late. I can't put this off any longer.
I'll wait at home.
Who is it?
It's me.
Open the door.
When did you find a place like this?
How did you find me?
I followed you because you wouldn't tell me.
You don't have another guy with you.
I'm just joking. Don't give me that death glare.
Eat.
I'm fine. I got this for you.
You didn't look well all day long.
You won't find a husband like me,
who brings porridge for a wife who ran away.
- What about the kids? - The nanny is with them.
I'll leave as soon as you eat some.
Are you okay?
My stomach is a little upset. I'll eat it later.
Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
No, I'm fine.
Some might think you have morning sickness.
I shouldn't have said that.
I mean, today, Ms. Na asked...
if we're looking to have a third child,
and I said, "How can you say something that scary?"
- Ms. Na said that? - Yes.
But if we do have another child, I guess they'll be adorable.
We wondered when Young Jun and Seo Jun will grow up,
but they're both so big now.
Sometimes I sit and wonder, "When did they grow up so much?"
And of course, I didn't do much to bring them up.
You should go. The nanny should go home too.
You're right.
But now that I know where you are,
I guess you won't die solo.
I mean, you won't die alone.
Like dying in solitude.
I lost all of my comedic senses. My jokes are all bad now.
I need to work on that. I'll get going.
You're all right, aren't you?
What do you mean?
You know,
nothing big is going on, right?
No.
That's good, then.
But don't be away for too long.
You know that I'm impatient.
Come home quickly.
Go, now.
Bye.
Get some rest.
Go inside.
[VIU Ver] SBS E17 'VIP' "How It All Started for Sung Jun" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Start talking.
At first,
I didn't know it would be like that.
Let's go.
Give her an easier duty.
Yes, sir.
I met her because of work.
This is...
quite old.
Take care.
Then I found out what her life is like.
I just thought, "I guess life must be..."
"very tough for her."
Good work.
It was nothing more than that.
I don't know how things turned out...
like that.
Are you saying you just pitied her?
At first,
yes.
So who is it?
Is it someone I know?
I know you took the security footage from work.
If that text message wasn't true,
would you have done that?
I took the footage to check who texted you.
What if I want to see who the woman is?
From the day we first met,
for some strange reason,
I imagined us holding hands and aging together.
I liked that.
The idea that you'd be with me at the end of my life.
It comforted me.
That's why even after doing something so crazy,
I wanted to cover it up.
I wanted to live as if nothing had happened.
I said it was for your sake,
but it was actually for mine.
The days I'd thought of all the time...
were so warm.
But...
a fool who ruined everything doesn't deserve that.
Jung Sun.
Let's end this.
You want a divorce?
I'm sorry.
I...
Are you seeing her again?
- No, I'm not. - Then why, so suddenly?
Why now?
You can't glue back broken glass.
I know that now.
Don't be stupid.
Broken glass?
The one bleeding all over because of that glass...
is me, not you.
Who are you to decide whether to glue it back or not?
End it?
Do you think I didn't consider that?
I wanted to say that a hundred, a thousand times.
I swallowed it back and put on a brave face.
Even though I was bleeding...
I thought I could patch things up.
I held onto the pieces knowing I was hurting myself.
Why?
Because of the 10 years we spent together.
I didn't think it would crumble in a day.
But you ask me for a divorce?
Was that what our marriage meant to you?
Was it so meaningless that you could mention divorce so easily?
It wasn't meaningless.
I thought I was lucky that the likes of me met you and made a family.
I wanted to save it.
I thought I'd be able to.
But I was stupid and I ruined it all.
I still wanted to hold on.
I did all I could because I desperately wanted to.
It's not working, Jung Sun.
I can't do it.
You'll do whatever you want?
What a joke.
I decide whether we're over or not.
The Tifone exhibit feedback.
I got these at the site.
Thank you.
- Are you okay? - About what?
Well, the great Lee Hyun A wouldn't crumble for something like that.
Why didn't you tell me? In case word would get out?
If so, I'm upset.
I'm nothing if I'm not loyal.
It wasn't good news.
I should go.
Watch your tongue.
What?
Why did she wink?
Profits from the auction were above expectations.
Good job.
This is a result worth bragging about.
Send this to Mr. Choi and Mr. Park.
I emailed them this morning.
Well done.
They backed my father for a long time.
We must show our prowess to convince them.
We can't show any weaknesses.
Yes, sir.
Did Yu Ri come to work?
Yes.
Okay.
Look out for her.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Ms. Na.
I said I'd have lunch with the CEO of a valet company,
but a meeting just got scheduled.
Could you go instead, if you're free?
I need to get a list.
Okay.
Yu Ri, you accompany her.
You worked with them on this.
I'm off.
I'll go instead.
It's not for leisure.
This is bad.
- Get ready, Yu Ri. - Okay.
Let's see...
(Park Sung Jun's PC)
He's a man after all.
Are you all right?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Na, are you all right?
I'm just a bit under the weather, that's all. I apologize.
Well, it truly was a huge event we wrapped up.
Yu Ri, are you okay with what happened yesterday?
Yes, I am.
I know it's not my place to say this,
but isn't it wiser not to do anything that can mislead people?
Especially, if it's not true.
For you...
and for his wife.
May I take this?
Hello?
What?
Pneumonia hit her when she's already quite frail.
It's what escalated her condition.
She's stable at the moment,
so let's keep an eye on her for now.
Sure.
Gosh.
Mom...
Please don't be sick.
You can't be sick, all right?
Your mom will be all right.
I didn't want you of all people to see this.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
I bet she was a great mother.
She was the rock that kept me stable.
Without her...
I feel like my mom...
is being punished for my wrongdoings.
You're wrong.
I'm sure she'll get better to be back with you.
I guess we need to head back.
(Hospice ward)
You should stay here today.
Her doctor said she's stable now,
so I can come back after I'm done at the office.
Can you wait just a second?
Sure.
(Hana Nursing Home)
I met her because of work.
Then I found out what her life is like.
I just thought, "I guess life must be..."
"very tough for her."
I'm afraid I have someplace to stop by.
Can you make it to the office alone?
Sure.
I'll see you later.
Ms. Lee!
You need to see this.
(Wife of Sung Un's VP. A Sung Un employee)
(The wife picks up the wine bottle...)
(and pours it over the employee.)
Moving on.
A video clip of the abusive action...
of the wife of Sung Un Department Store's Vice President...
is causing controversy.
After this video was released on an anonymous online community,
"wine brutality" has been trending...
on various web portals.
Sir, did you see the article?
- Could the video be... - I thought you were cautious,
but I guess I was wrong.
Sorry?
What were you thinking, coming here, when there are eyes everywhere?
Don't worry.
What you're worried about won't happen.
I'll soon contact you, so we'll talk outside the office.
Sound good?
Yes, sir.
Sir, I'll call you when we know all the facts too.
There's nothing we can officially say at the moment.
I'll be in touch. Sure.
You're back.
It came from a member of the catering staff.
The catering staff?
The video must've been filmed in secret.
I can't seem to contain this mess.
The angle suggests that someone on stage filmed it though.
When did a caterer ever get up there?
Ask the Communication Team...
for a copy of the press release once they have it.
Got it.
Oh, no.
What now?
("The Victim Covered in Wine Was the VP's Mistress?")
The hurdles keep on coming.
Her personal details have already been revealed.
(Same woman, Mistress)
Her being loved on social media has made things worse this time.
Yu Ri, head home early today.
No, I'm fine.
This is a crisis, so all hands on deck.
You being at the office right now is making things worse.
See?
Reporters may be swarming around your residence.
Stay somewhere else for a few days.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have made a mistake that day.
It wasn't your mistake to begin with.
How can I blame you?
It already happened,
so we'll just look for a solution.
How's the public sentiment?
Not very good.
Oh, I see.
We're getting many petitions asking us to replace...
the vice president.
And people on the inside are making such suggestions as well.
He definitely fell into that trap.
No matter how good Jae Woong is, he won't be able to recover.
If we get caught,
we'll be enemies with Daehan Group, my sister-in-law's family.
Don't let anyone find out that we're behind this.
Don't worry about that.
I'll make sure there's no problem.
I also want to see how an auction is done.
I'm not allowed to take any photos or videos...
within the venue.
That's exactly why I'm asking for your help.
The VIP Management Team may become combined with the Marketing Team,
so it would be better if I get a good look beforehand.
I don't think it's too much to ask.
Okay?
All right, I understand.
Mi Na.
Mi Na. Are you all right?
- Mi Na. - What's wrong?
- I'll make a call. - Mi Na.
I'm sorry.
You shouldn't work too hard.
It looked like Mr. Lee doesn't know.
I haven't told him.
I wasn't going to tell the team either.
But everyone found out.
Why weren't you going to tell him?
Because I won't have the baby.
Please don't tell my husband.
Why did you come that day?
Then you're the one who sent...
the text message?
I didn't want to get involved in a weird rumor at work.
I came out to see who played that prank on me.
I don't know what you were thinking,
but it's not me.
What's not you?
Hey.
Did you see?
The vice president is having a press conference.
(Sung Un's Vice President Holds an Emergency Press Conference)
(Vice President Ha Jae Woong's Press Conference)
First of all, I apologize for causing much concern...
with this issue.
I stand here today...
to straighten out the news coverage of my scandal...
which was far from the truth.
The woman of the video who is presumed...
and talked about as my mistress is...
my daughter.
There was a woman whom I dated for a short while back in college.
I did not stay in contact with her after that,
so I did not know about her.
I also found out about her very recently.
Everything is my fault, and I am the one to blame.
However, I cannot sit around...
and watch my innocent family...
suffer because of all these speculations.
That's why I came here to tell the truth.
I apologize for causing such a scandal...
because of my personal issues.
I'm sorry.
Just kill me instead.
Your mistress?
People will talk about her, but they'll soon forget her too.
But a kid out of wedlock?
You're going to reveal such a humiliation for me...
to the entire world?
If this becomes a problem of having an affair,
I won't be given as much power at work on account of my morality.
However,
if this becomes a family issue,
the public will begin to view this problem differently.
To do that, I need to tell the truth.
That's your problem.
I know it's all my fault.
But Myung Eun,
please help me out this once.
I can't step back at this point.
(Sung Un's Vice President Holds an Emergency Press Conference)
Go into hiding so that no one even hears you breathe,
as if you don't exist.
Is this Ms. On Yu Ri's number?
Who is this?
I'm Reporter Kim Il Seob of Hanyang Daily.
- I did not stay in contact... - Man.
This is the biggest issue ever.
- I also found out about her... - Did I say anything weird to her?
Did I?
I can't trust my mouth because I talk so much all the time.
- However, I cannot sit around... - Did I say anything weird?
- and watch my innocent family... - I probably did.
suffer because of all these speculations.
Things are going to be a little complicated now.
Our youngest teammate is the vice president's daughter?
Did Mr. Park know about this?
I apologize for causing such a scandal...
because of my personal issues.
- I also found out about her... - I'm sorry.
I couldn't check on that.
- Everything is my fault. - But can't we ask him...
to take responsibility for having a child out of wedlock?
It's not like he had her after he got married.
He's saying he didn't know. How can that be possible?
He's over there pretending to bow down...
and saying that he'll take responsibility for everything.
Do you... Do you think that will work?
(On Yu Ri)
The phone you have reached is currently turned off.
You will be charged after the beep.
(Call me when you see this message...)
(Call me when you see this message, please.)
(Director's Room)
(Messages, On Yu Ri)
Mr. Park.
What will happen to Yu Ri?
Will she remain on our team?
Yes. Nothing much will change.
Stick to your usual duties.
Our rank got shuffled.
How is that not much of a change?
[VIU Ver] SBS E18 'VIP' "The Secret Gets Out" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Park Sung Jun speaking.
It's Yu Ri.
How about you let her come to work?
Now?
When there are reporters all around the main entrance?
Photos of her coming to work will switch the focus...
from the scandal to curiosity about her.
Rather than letting the video spread,
I think this would be better.
We should use the media instead?
Do you think she can handle it?
It was bound to happen one day.
Taking it head-on...
will cause Ms. On less harm in the long-run.
Are you in touch with your father?
- Are you the VP's daughter? - Are you in touch?
Any comments?
You can't go any further.
Sorry for causing you concern.
Yes, Mother. I'm almost there.
Okay. Don't rush and drive safely.
Mother.
Jung Sun isn't feeling well today.
Is she unwell?
Why send her over so early when she should rest?
She's with you?
You didn't know?
I had no idea because she didn't show it.
She's setting the table.
Take your time. I'll tell her to rest a bit.
Okay.
Mother, this is delicious.
I packed you some. Take it with you.
Thank you.
Why aren't you eating?
I am.
My friend might get divorced.
Divorced?
How come?
Her husband had an affair...
and he wants to leave her.
Oh, dear.
She asked me for advice,
but I didn't know what to tell her.
I've lived enough to know that...
what pain you cause comes right back to you.
Even if the man goes to the other woman,
they won't be happy.
If that were to happen to me...
Don't be silly.
That won't happen,
and if it did, I'll kill him before you do.
Remember that.
This is so tasty. How did you make it?
I'll pack you some later.
No, it's fine. It's your food.
- It's okay. I made enough. - Thank you.
- Have some galbi. - Okay.
Thanks for today.
- Now... - I'm here to show you.
If we get divorced, your mother, my dad.
The whole family will suffer.
That's what you want to do.
Take a good look...
at what you have ruined.
Do you need anything?
It's done.
- Sit down. - Okay.
- I'll go to the toilet. - Sure.
Are you...
Never mind. I'm being silly.
You wouldn't do that after what your dad did.
- Mother, do you need something? - No, sit down.
- Sit down. - Okay.
Yes, sir.
(Sung Un VP's Child Out of Wedlock Staying at Luxury Hotel)
Reporters got to the hotel Yu Ri's staying at.
Move her to the Hannam-dong studio apartment.
(Director Park)
I'm outside your door. Bring your things and I'll move you.
- Ms. On? - Ms. On.
- Let's go. - Where is your mother?
Ms. On. When did you...
find out about your father?
- Ms. On. - Say something.
Ms. On.
Could I visit my mother?
The vice president's driver will be here in an hour.
There's a studio apartment in Hannam-dong for you.
The security's tight.
The reporters won't be able to make it onto the complex.
Then...
I shouldn't...
have started this in the first place.
Then it wouldn't hurt so much.
No way.
(Marketing Team Senior Director Bae Do Il)
No way.
(HR Announcement: Park Sung Jun, Senior Director of Marketing)
(Bae Do Il, Senior Director of General Management)
General Management?
It's a trivial position.
He's being driven out of the company.
Oh, no.
Senior Director Park, congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
And a legend of this company is born.
Let's give him a huge round of applause!
It's all right.
Thank you though.
I wonder if the wife heard the news too.
(Hana Nursing Home)
(Patient name: On Hye Sun)
Is it someone I know?
- No. - It's a matter of being worthy.
I should've realized sooner.
It's from Park Sung Jun.
You said it was over...
and that it's someone I don't know.
Is there anything else I should know?
No.
This is the end for me. I won't go back.
So finish it on your end too.
Will it be okay if you get what you want?
Congratulations.
(VIP)
It's like an embarrassing secret I kept to myself.
She found out by chance and her words gave me comfort.
I can't stop my heart from loving you.
Fortunately, I'm the only one who knows you filmed the video.
We will begin with the anesthesia.
I came here today to tell you something.
I'll show you what it's like to lose everything.
Join me...
in endless torment.
