Ever since we were kids, our father...
was fond of Jae Woong.
All the good things...
and all the expensive things were his.
I'm well aware that my father...
only put me in this position to briefly challenge him.
However, I don't plan on being just my father's puppet.
Where's the fun in that?
I'll strike his castle.
There are too many people loyal to him right now.
To get people to listen to me,
I must turn the table upside down and set it again.
Don't you think it's too risky?
I know my brother.
I should strike first before he comes at me.
That is why I ask you this, Director Choi.
Which side will you be on?
Ms. Na, are you feeling all right?
It's nothing.
I've been too stressed lately,
so I must have gastritis.
It happens. I'm fine.
You keep bumping into them.
Well, you should take care of your health.
You haven't been looking good.
Thanks.
We're here to ask for your help at the event we're planning.
Yes, President Ha called me personally.
I heard that 85 percent...
of the couples you introduce get married.
We'll do our best to make sure that...
this even benefits us as well as you, ma'am.
To be honest, playing matchmaker for the rich...
is easier than that among commoners.
All I need to consider is the materialistic condition.
Emotions don't play a part,
so the chances of marriage go up.
What's most important to us is information.
A detailed database...
increases our success rate.
That is why I'm curious about the details...
of these two people.
Mr. Ma, you're the son of the Foreign Minister.
Well...
And you're the daughter of Vice President Ha.
If I'm allowed to interview you two,
I'll take on the job.
Count me in.
I'm sure it'll just be a couple of questions.
I'll do it too.
She almost found out how many spoons our family has.
You did well.
You can refuse if you're not up to it.
I'd like to be of help.
This isn't an interrogation, so don't be nervous.
Right.
Ms. Ha Yu Ri.
You were raised by On Hye Sun until you were 28.
Vice President Ha was then revealed as your father,
and now you live with him.
Your mother was at a nursing home,
but she passed away recently.
The Vice President and his wife didn't have a child,
so Chairman Ha had you join...
the family tree.
These facts I can find online easily.
The information I want...
begins with this question.
What do you look for in a man?
I'm not sure.
Well,
someone warm and kind.
That's what On Yu Ri would think.
Shouldn't your priorities change...
now that you're Ha Yu Ri?
Let me ask you again.
What do you look for in a man...
in terms of marriage?
Let me.
Her not seeing you is probably the best for her right now.
I got you some painkillers. Take this for now.
Thank you.
Please send me the contract and I'll call you once I've read it.
- Thank you. - Take care.
Wait.
Just a second.
Ms. Song, do you perhaps know someone named Lee Su Jeong?
She's a top VIP member at our department store,
but our database has no information on her.
I was wondering if you know her.
She's the chairwoman of LN Foundation.
You don't have to worry about her anymore.
She wouldn't make the cut for The Black Society anyway.
I don't understand what you mean.
She's the mistress of Vice President Ha Jae Woong.
Sorry?
She's a long-time mistress that even his wife knows about...
and ignores.
I see.
What are you thinking?
It's nothing.
Don't you think...
Sang Woo is exceptionally nice to Ms. Na?
Could he perhaps have feelings for her?
I don't know.
(Rhythm Hill Hospital)
Where are we?
At a hospital.
I'm fine. I got better after I took some painkillers.
It'll get worse if you leave it.
Thanks, Sang Woo,
for being so considerate.
She's the mistress of Vice President Ha of Sung Un.
She won't be included in the society. Let's move on.
She still has...
a lot to learn.
You should help her out, Su Yeon.
Back when I was in middle school,
you told me this, Grandfather.
"A lioness only brings up cubs which survive...
after she drops them from a cliff,
and that's the case with our family."
Don't you think it's only fair to apply the same rule...
to her?
She's definitely your granddaughter.
Rules should be fair.
If you're one of the Ha family,
you need to learn to look out for yourself.
Don't worry, Father.
She's probably good at that.
Yes, I'll remember that.
All of you, remember that.
Yes.
Father, have some more snappers.
When will you go back to Boston?
In about two weeks.
You guys should meet up before he leaves.
When should we meet?
We'll see what happens.
I'm not sure.
How are you doing, Su Yeon?
She's too busy.
But find a good place, okay?
Excuse me.
Do you want to come with me to see my mom at the charnel house?
You didn't come to her funeral either.
Well, I should probably make this clear.
To me, your mother is...
just someone that I knew for a moment in my 20s.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Now that you moved in here,
it'll be better for you...
to get rid of everything that reminds you of your mom.
Mr. Lee will take you home.
(Senior Director Park Sung Jun)
(Happy birthday. Let's eat dinner together.)
Happy birthday.
Let's eat dinner together.
You must be hungry.
I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm not sure if it'll taste good.
Thank you.
It's delicious.
Eat up.
I haven't had...
seaweed soup made by someone...
for the last 10 years.
Ever since Mom got hospitalized,
I couldn't spare any time to celebrate my birthday.
Thank you.
I wish that...
we could celebrate my birthday together next year.
There's this place...
that I want to go to.
That looks great.
All right, everyone. Eat up.
If anyone secretly orders a drink,
you're going to walk home from here. Do you get it?
- Yes, sir. - All right. Let's eat.
You can't get any energy from picking on your food.
Come on, eat up, kid.
You need the energy to go back home.
You're the only one who looks after me, Mr. Jang.
What's on your mind?
Aren't you here to empty your mind?
Exactly.
The more I want to
empty my mind, the more it gets filled up.
What's going on with him?
We're over emotionally,
but we're still an item on paper.
Before,
I could never understand when a woman refuses...
to divorce her husband who cheated on her,
because the relationship is obviously over.
But I get them now.
I'm just left with dogged spirit.
If I must live unhappily,
then I want him to be as unhappy as humanly possible.
That's because it's not over yet.
One day, the tip of that knife will become dull.
Get to the end before you come back.
I don't know what the end holds,
but you'll have to get there for it to really end.
(The late On Hye Sun)
I'll be outside.
Mom.
Do you like it there?
I feel...
so lonely and empty...
without you here.
(On Hye Sun)
I now have a bigger family...
than when it was just us.
But strangely, I feel lonelier.
Don't worry too much.
I have him.
I'll be okay.
- Yes, Mother. - I made kimchi.
I'll bring it to your place.
Come outside when I call.
No, Mother.
There's no one at home now.
I'll come and get it later.
Are you out with Jung Sun?
Then I'll leave it with the security guard.
You must put it in the fridge now. It'll be too mature in a few days.
There's no room for it in my fridge.
No. It must be heavy. I'll come and get it later.
It's okay, it's not too heavy.
Just stay at home.
I'll call you later after work.
Okay then.
You should go. Your mother's waiting.
Come on in. This is it.
This year's kimchi tastes good.
I packed a lot, so send some to Jung Sun's family.
I wonder if it's to their taste.
Is Jung Sun okay these days?
She didn't look too well last time.
I know a good oriental doctor. Tell her to come over.
I'll take her.
Mother. There's something I must tell you.
I'm sorry.
What nonsense is this?
Why would you get divorced?
My friend might get divorced.
Her husband had an affair...
and he wants to leave her.
Are you...
seeing someone else?
No, right?
How could you?
How could you of all people do that?
How could you do that after you saw what happened to me?
How could you? How could you?
(The Black Society Candidate VVIP List)
(LN Foundation Chairwoman Lee Su Jeong)
(Lee Su Jeong Sponsors a 100,000-Dollar Scholarship)
She's the mistress of Vice President Ha Jae Woong.
She's a long-time mistress that even his wife knows about...
You don't know what you've done, do you?
You couldn't have done this if you knew.
When you first brought Jung Sun home,
I thought it was such a relief.
Mostly because Jung Sun was sweet and honest,
but that wasn't all.
I thought that she'd already become your world.
That's why.
With her,
I thought you wouldn't live the empty life like I did.
I thought you'd be able to settle down.
I liked that idea.
Yes.
Right now, you think that fire you feel is love.
You know you're jumping into a flame,
but you think you can't help it.
Who else can you blame?
You just take after your parents.
You know...
Because of your momentary emotions,
you just lost a whole world.
You don't know...
what you have lost.
You have no idea what you have just lost.
Thanks for meeting with me.
Talk.
The relationship between...
the vice president and Park Sung Jun that you mentioned.
Does it have something to do with...
someone called Lee Su Jeong?
You got there quicker than I expected.
Park Sung Jun deals with my husband's women.
He pays them off and gets them to sign NDAs.
Things like that.
He dealt with many women so far.
I think he's pretty good at it.
Are you shocked already?
My husband doesn't trust others.
But I guess...
he must've found your husband trustworthy.
My husband bought shares in borrowed names in case of...
an inheritance battle.
Your husband manages that.
The shares are in Lee Su Jeong and Sung Jun's names.
You didn't know anything about your husband.
Would you like to go public?
Expose the affair...
and the borrowed-name shares together.
It'll ruin Sung Jun and Yu Ri together.
Don't you want to...
ruin them both?
That would ruin your husband as well.

(VIP)
I have no idea who you are anymore.
How far are you willing to go?
I wish you'd go all the way.
Let's talk after the event.
Would you like to have dinner after the event?
- I'll have to see what happens. - Can you just divorce him?
- You two are over anyway. - Don't ever mention that again.
This is none of your business.
Jung Sun?
- What do I do? - Jung Sun!
Wake up!
