(Episode 42)
Secretary Sim?
Yes.
Are you already back from the Design Team?
They said they'll give samples, but you're empty-handed.
I'm sorry. I'll be back.
One second.
I should just tell you while we're all here.
What is it?
You know that I've been trying to launch a new brand, right?
Yes, I've been curious.
I need to build a team that reports directly to me.
You know, like a task force team.
I want you to be the team leader.
Really?
After this reorganization period,
let's bring in the members from Marketing into your new team.
This is as sudden as this ring.
I'm not sure if I'm good enough for that job.
Don't worry about that.
Secretary Sim will join the team and give you a hand too.
Secretary Sim, can you do that?
Ma Poong Do.
What is going on?
You should have given me some hint.
When did you decide on this?
I'm sure you know...
that Vice President Seo is after me.
The shareholders, directors, and executives of the company...
are all under Vice President Seo's control.
That's why I desperately need more people on my side.
Why do you have to include Secretary Sim on the team?
I think she's still unfamiliar with her job as a secretary.
That's exactly why.
I can't suddenly fire someone my grandmother hired.
I'm sure your team could use someone to do odd jobs too.
Yes, that's true.
A team leader of the TF Team.
So I'll be the kingmaker for Ma Poong Do?
But why is Chung Yi involved? She makes me feel uneasy.
Ji Na, take this.
Goodness.
What's that ring?
What ring?
My goodness.
Ms. Yeo, did you get this from the chairman?
What is it?
Ms. Yeo, did he propose to you?
Stop embarrassing me.
It's not like that.
Gosh, she's avoiding the question. Maybe we're right.
(New Brand Fabric Samples)
Why did you call me so desperately before?
It's nothing.
Why do you look so grim? Do you feel under the weather?
No, anything else I can do?
If it's because of the sudden reappointment,
please do understand.
You said you'll be my eyes.
I need to know what's going on in the TF Team.
I'm sure Ms. Yeo will do a great job.
Ji Na is Ji Na.
You are my eyes, Secretary Sim.
So please do as I requested.
Do you need a hand?
Secretary Sim, can you grab me a cup of coffee?
Yes, of course.
He can't tell any of those colors apart by himself.
Was I mistaken that he might've got his memories back?
(Chairman Ma Poong Do)
Give me just a little more time, Chung Yi.
There was no bank safe under Mr. Ma or his mother's name.
It might be under another person's name.
(Vice President Seo Pil Doo)
Find if it's under the name of an employee from the sanatorium.
Yes, sir.
What about his suitcase?
I approached his manager and looked for it in secret.
But I couldn't find any key.
Hey, what's going on?
I'm trying to look for the key to Poong Do's safe.
What?
You must have too much free time in your hands.
I really want to know what's in there.
You never know. If there are gold bars in there,
he might give me some for finding his key for him.
Miss.
Miss!
She went to get groceries. Why?
To tell her not to give you dinner.
You're not worth the food you eat.
My goodness.
Don't change your tune if I get to find the key.
Are you going home?
What about you?
Poong Do wants to leave work with me.
You looked really flustered.
Why did Poong Do have to surprise me at work?
What?
Are you bragging or teasing?
Both?
I saw enough of the ring. I'd like to go.
Can you stand working beneath me?
I'm Poong Do's girlfriend. Are you sure you won't be hurt?
You seem to be very mistaken.
I'm here to work.
Not to date.
I'm sincerely concerned for the TF Team's future.
If this is what the team manager's thinking.
Knock, knock.
Am I too early?
No.
Can you show me where you live today?
Why? This suddenly?
I realized I was being inconsiderate to you because I was too focused...
on trying to regain my memory.
I should've left the past behind...
and tried getting to know you again.
Poong Do.
Let's go.
Shall we have dinner in your neighborhood?
You've never been to my place before,
though you won't remember.
Really?
My parents are strict...
and won't like it if I have men around.
They're bound to hear about it from my neighbors.
That could be a problem.
I wish I could meet your parents.
Have I met them before?
No, you haven't.
I see.
That's a pity. I'll drop you off after dinner then.
Where do you live?
I'm sorry, Poong Do.
I forgot that I already made plans.
I feel terrible to ruin our long-awaited date.
It can't be helped.
I wanted to treat you since you'll become...
really busy with the TF Team.
Let's go out another time.
I'm sorry.
Ji Na.
Why are you here?
I brought some food.
Do you eat at all?
Do you eat, eat, eat!
Can you stop talking about eating?
What's the matter?
Is something wrong?
Ji Na.
What's wrong?
Why are you upset?
Why am I like this?
Why did you raise me so that I couldn't be happy for an instant?
What are you talking about?
Why am I so much greedier than others when I have so little?
If I was born with nothing,
I should accept that and be meek.
I don't have great parents or a great skill.
I'm not special,
but why do I want so much?
Did someone mock you for being poor?
Of course you are special.
You're pretty, have a great figure,
and you're clever.
It's driving me insane.
I just can't get away from it.
What should I do, Mom?
You're really upsetting me now.
What's going on?
Ji Na.
What's this ring?
(Looking for new franchisees)
This place looks great.
Doesn't it? It's clean and spacious.
- Welcome back. - Hello.
You had a meeting with us before.
Yes. I own a restaurant right now,
but would like to change the menu.
We get a lot of restaurant owners looking for a change.
You needn't worry. Our main office provides great support.
Take your time and look around.
- Thanks. - Sure.
What was that about?
My back hurts more than before.
A hangover soup place is too much for me.
Si Joon and you two should give this a go.
I will support you now from behind the scenes.
Auntie.
The initial capital though...
Don't worry about that.
I saved some up in Si Joon's name.
I'd like you two to work with him...
and help him get back on his feet.
Are you on your own? Where's your mom?
She took the others somewhere.
I bought some to drink with her.
It's so sweet.
Is something wrong?
Why aren't you drinking?
I drank too much after I got out and I'm sick of soju now.
That's no fun.
I like drinking with Ms. Jeong.
She won't even look at me these days.
Is work getting too much?
You seemed determined at first.
Determined? I was.
But it's not easy when you only have one goal.
Talk to me. Tell me if there's anything I can do to help.
I'm so grateful for you all the time.
And sorry.
When I was framed and locked up,
you said you believed me.
That gave me strength.
I'll be right there.
Are you going out? This late at night?
Yes.
To see someone.
Did you drink?
A bit.
Why? Did something upset you?
You don't drink only when you're upset.
I told you to quit that company.
I'm not upset at all.
This is nothing.
You know me.
Do you know how many bosses I had worked for?
I can't tell you everything without bursting into tears.
Yes, I know how much you suffered.
That's why, as they say, I want you...
to just walk down a flowery path.
Your life can't just be a flowery path.
Some paths will be rocky and some sandy.
Don't worry about me, Dad.
Chung Yi's fine.
Hey. Poong Do.
Come and sit down.
What's the matter?
Did you give Yeo Ji Na a ring?
The one with the biggest diamond in the Jubo Department Store?
You have great sources.
Hey.
You should be glad I didn't faint when I heard about that...
at the department store.
How could you fall for the likes of her...
A ring? What's this about? Are you getting married?
Shut your mouth.
You seem to believe the resume Seo Pil Doo gave you.
Look into her.
I'm so very suspicious about her.
She lived in a strange place in a rundown neighborhood.
How do you think Mr. Seo knew Ji Na?
How would I know how they met?
Anyway, I can't stand you wasting money on her...
just because you're the chairman,
so be careful.
Okay.
Anyway, why do you think he gave her a ring?
Do you think he proposed to her?
Proposed? My foot.
Mom isn't even around. Why would he propose to her?
What if Ji Na really becomes my sister-in-law?
Shut your mouth.
Sister-in-law? What do you mean?
You can leave it here.
Don't you need to check it?
Poong Do, why are you looking at me like that since yesterday?
I'm scared.
Poong Do, you won't really marry Ms. Yeo or anything, will you?
Why? Can't I marry her?
Are you serious? Do you really want to marry her?
Ms. Yeo and I dated since when we were in France.
This is our history.
Well, you were my manager, so I'm sure you've seen this.
I've seen this picture before.
Of course, you've seen it.
No, that's not what I meant.
You can go now. Thanks for the suitcase.
I think she edited that with a picture that I took.
What's going on?
I wish I could meet your parents.
Have I met them before?
He wants to see my house,
and now he wants to see my parents.
What will he say if he sees my house in Yongwang-ri?
I need money.
I need to find a way.
Who were you drinking with today?
Gosh, you shocked me.
Weren't you asleep?
You don't reek of alcohol. I see you didn't drink.
What did you do today?
Go to sleep. I'll go get washed up.
You really have nothing on your mind, do you?
Are you having a dream? Is this sleep talking?
My girl...
My girl doesn't fall short to anyone.
But she has been looking more and more worn out...
because of her lousy parents.
The world must look beautiful to you, doesn't it?
My girl...
never got to spread her wings out.
She's trying so hard to live without showing people that she's poor.
You wouldn't know anything.
Deok Hee.
Is that how you think of me?
Does it look like I'm living in such a beautiful world?
I feed you every single day.
Then you take your day's wage and drink it away at nights.
You have nothing to worry about.
Isn't that so?
Goodness.
No one knows how I feel.
Even Dragon King wouldn't know...
how heartbroken I am.
A task force team?
Yes. Chairman Ma told me to work with that team from now on.
Who's the team leader again?
Ms. Yeo Ji Na.
I have to go.
Yeo Ji Na?
Why did Poong Do make such a decision?
(Chairman Ma Poong Do)
I gave your offer a thought.
What offer?
About reappointing me to the TF Team.
It's not like I'm a slave.
I don't have to listen to everything you say.
I got my job here as your secretary.
So?
Are you saying that you can't do it?
No.
I'll work in that team.
I came to this company to work.
You are very determined.
Please do a great job, Secretary Sim.
And on doing your job, can you get me some coffee?
You can grab yours too.
Sure.
I have so many truths I haven't told Poong Do yet.
How am I going to deal with all that?
My gosh, will someone please hear me out?
What's wrong?
Are you ill? You don't look so well.
Are you here to get Poong Do's coffee?
Yes, give me two of your bestsellers.
I'll have one here.
Sure.
Is there any progress with Poong Do's safe?
No.
Can you tell me more about what you said two days ago?
How you got his suitcase from my mom.
Well...
I'm not sure if I should be telling you this.
Someone told me to do that.
I have a huge headache right now because of that person.
Someone told you to do that?
Who is it?
Ms. Yeo.
I was blinded with money.
I did tell Poong Do about it,
but he's still considering to propose knowing what she's done.
He must be insane, Ms. Sim.
He might propose to her?
It's all because of your mother.
I'm not sure what their relationship is,
but they are a wonderful team.
What's wrong, Poong Do?
Please let go of me.
Where did you get my mother's articles?
- Tell me the truth. - Well...
It was Ms. Sim's mother. Ms. Bang of this house.
Goodness, what's with you?
I'm sorry, Poong Do.
Chung Yi told me that the suitcase will be worth some money...
if I kept it around.
(Dragon King Shaman)
What my mother left me.
My mother's voice.
Where is it?
Tell me, Sim Chung Yi.
Tell me what my mom said!
That's why he was...
so angry at me.
Do you feel a little better?
Ji Na, I gave this a thought all night long.
Can you please stop here?
What are you talking about?
I'd love to see my daughter marry the chairman of a company.
I know that it's a place that I couldn't even dream of.
But our family is nothing compared to his.
You're going to have to try so hard...
to live up to the expectation of that affluent family.
Yes, it's important to marry into a rich family.
But being at ease is important too.
We have nothing.
How can we live up to their standards?
Will you grovel to them the rest of your life?
What are you saying?
If that's all you can say, hang up.
Let's say you manage to cover it all up...
and end up marrying him.
What'll you do when the prince's memory returns?
You never dated.
If he finds out you lied about being his girlfriend,
can you handle the aftermath?
Ji Na...
Why you...
What's the matter?
Chung Yi. Didn't you leave for work?
Chung Yi?
Sim Chung Yi. Seriously?
What did you just say?
Ji Na pretended to be his girlfriend?
What are you talking about? It wasn't Ji Na.
Oh, I need to go out.
Don't you hear me? What have you done?
What is it about?
Do you have more to say?
I think this is just wrong.
A bloodbath is on the way,
and I thought I should turn myself in.
Turn yourself in?
I really don't think you and Ji Na dated.
You definitely liked Chung Yi.
How do you know that?
You two first met 10 years ago.
You followed her around despite getting nosebleeds.
That's not it.
For her to rest,
you went to her part-time jobs to arrange for paid leave.
You made me buy her groceries and herbal medicine.
I saw you grin at her too many times to count.
I did that?
Yes.
The Poong Do I know would never cheat on someone.
And the photo you showed me yesterday.
I think it was from my phone.
Someone photoshopped Ji Na into it.
I lost my phone at Chung Yi's place.
But...
I think it was the shaman lady.
How does that shaman lady know Ji Na?
Anyway, I want to say just one thing.
Poong Do.
Don't trust Ji Na. You two weren't dating.
I know you won't take a betrayer's word seriously,
- But... - I know.
Ji Na and I...
never dated.
What? You know what?
Here's a question.
You said our relationship's purely business and capitalistic.
Why are you so worried about that?
Poong Do!
Are you back?
Poong Do.
You're too heavy.
Goodness. Hey, hey.
I wanted to make money with Poong Do's heirlooms?
Did Ji Na make you do that?
How could you, Mom?
You should've stopped Ji Na if she went too far!
Who said she made me do it? Can you prove it?
Mom!
You took the cassette tape too, didn't you?
Did you give it to Ji Na?
Chung Yi, you can't say things like that.
Why are you making me into a thief?
How are we to live together?
Parents and kids should trust each other!
Do you even consider me as your kid?
I know Ji Na is all you care about.
But people say you raise a kid with your heart too.
I thought that with time, you'd open up to me as well.
But why are you pushing me away even more as time goes by?
Stop talking such nonsense.
I have no time to listen to your whines.
Ji Na grew up in your shadow...
and it still hurts me.
If it hadn't been for you, would she have had to...
leave home so young and go through so much?
She even got involved in a murder!
She's just trying to survive, so don't drag her down.
Don't you dare get between Ji Na and her prince.
The day you do, is the day you and I both drown in the sea.
No. I can't do that.
What did you say?
What's wrong is wrong.
I won't let anyone dupe him any longer.
I can't.
Hey, Sim Chung Yi!
(Jubo Group)
Move.
What will you do now?
Nothing much.
I'll just reveal the truth.
Don't go.
Don't you hear me?
We're sisters. Aren't you my younger sister?
I'm not.
I won't be your sister.
So let go.
Hey. Sim Chung Yi!
(Blessing of the Sea)
Hey. Did you set off the bomb at work?
I have nothing to say to you.
If you push me any further, I'll really go all out.
Think of all the things I did to get here.
I won't give up now.
How do you know Yeo Ji Na?
I have a feeling we'll be on the same page.
Yeo Ji Na's the shaman lady's daughter?
What's really going on?
Mr. Sim. Do you have another daughter?
The Yongwang-ri hit-and-run.
I'm the one who saved you.
It was me, Sim Chung Yi, not Yeo Ji Na.
