(It's My Life)
Listen, Si Woo. Help me out.
Hyunkang is our biggest client.
What am I supposed to do if you stop working with us?
You and Seung Joo are the ones who made Hyunkang your enemy.
What can I do?
Tell me, please.
I have a meeting with a new client, so I should get going.
What? Ko Seon Gyu?
Ko Seon Gyu was the one who did it?
Okay, keep it to yourself until we secure firm evidence.
We can't accuse President Han's brother-in-law without proof.
Try to track Ko Seon Gyu down.
Ko Seon Gyu?
A big problem? What now?
I heard that one of our employees is selling our fabrics...
to a factory in China at a dirt-cheap price.
What on earth are you talking about?
Who'd do such a thing?
I'm trying to find out exactly what happened,
and it seems like the loss is pretty significant.
Yes.
- Oh, come in. Have a seat. - Thank you.
You have a different mother, but Si Woo and you are brothers,
- so I can talk casually, right? - Yes, of course.
I heard...
that you're giving up on the company and moving back to your hometown.
Yes.
We met not too long ago, but I'm sad to hear that you're leaving.
I thought about what I could do for you,
and I'd like to give you...
the vacation house in Gapyeong that I inherited.
My gosh, it's okay.
I don't need a vacation house.
I'm more than happy with the savings that Grandpa gave me.
Really?
Then after you move back to your hometown,
what will you do with the house that you inherited?
Will you sell it?
I actually came to meet with Mr. Heo regarding that house.
Grandpa lived in that house his whole life,
so I don't think I should sell it. I'd like to donate it.
You'll donate it?
By any chance, is it because of inheritance tax?
Yes, that's part of the reason.
I knew it.
- I'll pay it for you. - Pardon me?
You'll pay for it?
Instead, put Si Woo's name down...
as a co-owner of the house.
As a co-owner?
Sure, it doesn't matter to me.
Si Woo spent a lot of time...
with his grandfather in that house.
If it's sold,
Si Woo will be very sad about it as well.
Thank you.
I had decided to donate it even though it isn't most ideal.
Every day I spent in that house means a lot to me...
even though it was only for a short while,
so I really didn't want to sell it.
After you move back to your hometown,
Si Woo and I would like to move into that house.
You can visit anytime you'd like.
I'd love that.
Oh, I actually have a favor to ask of you.
A favor? What is it?
It's about Ms. Heo.
Please make sure she can continue to work at that house.
Ms. Heo?
Sure.
That's great.
Thank you so much, Ms. Choi.
My instincts were right.
You're such a wonderful person.
- Get back safely. - Thank you. I'll be off, then.
Bye.
Isn't that Chairman Ahn's grandson he found after 30 years?
Come in.
I thought this at the funeral too,
but he does look a lot like Young Gyu.
He resembles Chairman Ahn and Si Woo as well.
I also see a resemblance between you and him.
Why would he resemble me?
You probably feel that way because he looks like Si Woo.
You seem very happy today.
What's going on? Did something good happen?
Can things really be this easy, Mr. Jung?
What do you mean?
He'll give up his succession rights over the company...
and move back to his hometown.
He also gladly agreed to list Si Woo...
as a co-owner of the house that he inherited from Chairman Ahn.
It means that house will become Si Woo's...
after he moves back home.
Are you serious?
Gosh, how can he have no ambition?
He's really something.
Whenever I talk to him,
he reminds me of Chairman Ahn.
And it makes me anxious.
You're complicating things again for yourself.
Doesn't it give you a headache?
He told me...
that he thinks I'm a wonderful person.
He said his instincts were right.
There's a woman I like.
Whenever I see you, I'm reminded of her.
Gosh, that hillbilly...
is so insensitive and tactless.
He has nothing to show off.
I mean, he's a bit tall, and he has a nice body.
His personality isn't bad,
and he's pretty sweet, but that's about it.
Come to your senses, Han Seung Joo.
You have no time to drown in your emotions like this.
It's Dad.
- Hi, Dad. What's up... - Come to my office immediately.
My angel will move into this house?
Nice, that is amazing.
Goodness.
Gosh, that sly fox.
She wants to pay the inheritance tax just to make this house hers.
She's offering to pay the tax in return for co-ownership.
It's not like she's trying to rip you off.
And let's be honest. Si Woo is Chairman Ahn's grandson too.
Co-ownership is only fair.
You're being ridiculous.
We're moving back home. If that fox moves in here,
she's basically getting a free ride.
Nam Jin, let's just live here.
It's already been decided, and I've informed Ms. Choi as well.
Oh, right. Ms. Choi said...
she's fine with Ms. Heo continuing to work here.
No, I can't go. I don't want to.
This love came to me like a miracle.
How can I leave my angel?
Nam Jin, please. Let's please stay.
Nam Jin, don't go. Please...
- Mr. Lee. - What is wrong with you?
- Let go of him! - Gosh, please...
Nam Jin, I saw Jin Ah.
Sorry? You saw Jin Ah?
When? Where?
Gosh, that troublemaker.
You just can't keep your mouth shut.
Did you know that too, Mom?
Then why didn't you tell me?
(Contest Result, Winner: Jung Jin Ah)
Jung...
Oh, my. I can't believe this.
Goodness. Ouch.
Oh, boy.
I hope to see your name on the successful applicant list.
Director Choi, I made it.
You'll congratulate me, right?
Yes, Yeon Ji.
Congratulations, congratulations
Thank you so much.
I'm so happy that I feel like I'm going to cry.
I can't believe that Mr. Bonjour, who is unbelievably picky,
gave you a perfect score.
The employees are already so curious about you.
Is that true?
I feel like my heart is going to explode.
How about we celebrate it with a drink this evening?
Shall we ask Dae Sik to treat us?
No.
Let's have a drink without him. It's on me.
What are you craving?
I'm craving meat today.
- Would that be okay with you? - Sure.
I'll call you after getting my cast off.
I saw her the day before Chairman Ahn passed away.
It looked like she hurt her leg.
I'm imploring you. I really need it.
I already said no.
We're not allowed to reveal a patient's personal information...
in any case.
Then let's do this.
Please call Jin Ah and let me talk to her.
Tell her I'm her hometown friend Yang Nam Jin. She'll talk to me.
I'm busy right now.
So please leave.
Wait.
You need to wait another couple weeks.
Cracks in bone take longer to heal than fractures.
But I can't go to work like this on my first day.
I'll be careful. I promise.
Okay then.
Thank you.
(Jung Jin Ah)
Ms. Jung.
Come back to pick up your prescription after paying.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh, right. Earlier this afternoon,
a man came to find you.
- Me? - Yes.
He nagged me to give him your phone number.
What was his name?
It was the same as an old singer's name.
Was his name Yang Nam Jin by any chance?
Yes. That's right.
Thanks.
How could he do that?
How could he stop working with you because I called off the engagement?
Dad, this is something you can read about in the newspaper.
Shall I tip off the media?
If I tell the media about their power trip,
what company will ever want to work with us?
Seung Joo.
Can't you help me out just this once?
What do you mean?
You're not saying...
Dad, I can't believe you.
I know.
But there's nothing else I can do.
If I lose Hyunkang Group, I'll have to close my business.
Why on earth do they have to do this?
Are we one of the richest families in the world?
Or am I the daughter of the most powerful man?
Why must they do this to us?
I don't know either.
I'm sure there's something going on.
They are cornering you like this...
because they're after something.
I'm so worried because of Hyunkang Group.
However, I found out that some bold employee...
has been selling our fabrics to a factory in China at a cheap price.
What... What did you say?
Who did it? How much?
Well, Mr. Hwang is looking into it,
but we're suffering great loss.
Gosh. What am I going to do?
Are you all right, Dad?
Oh, man. I'm afraid...
I might end up closing my business.
I will go see Ms. Choi.
She might understand us.
What... What did you just say?
Yeon Sil.
I... I must have lost my mind.
Hey. Ko Seon Gyu.
You sold the fabrics?
What did you do this time? Horse racing? Baccarat?
- Or a Korean card game? - Darn.
I'm going to cut off all my fingers.
You said that the last time you caused trouble.
Did I?
Then... Then I...
I'll break my legs if I have to quit gambling.
What about Man Seok? Does he know that?
He... He doesn't know yet.
But it's a matter of time before he finds out.
Oh, gosh.
I wish Mom had had only me.
Why did she accept Dad, the womanizer,
and had that troublemaker? Gosh.
Yeon Sil, come on.
What if Man Seok divorces me?
What would you do?
That's why...
I came up with an idea.
- You can't go in like this. - I won't take much time.
It's okay. I'll take of it. You may leave.
Now you come here as if you own this place.
Mr. Yang Nam Jin.
- I have something to ask you about. - That's rude.
Listen.
This is my workplace.
I address even my mom Managing Director Choi at work.
It's a basic office etiquette.
In fact, since you have never had an office job,
you wouldn't know that.
There's no one else here.
Must you do this to your brother?
My brother?
I told you that I can't accept you.
So never act like my brother again.
Whatever you say, nothing can change the fact that we're half-brothers.
Please make an appointment through my secretary next time.
Do not visit me without notice.
Where is Jin Ah now?
Are you talking about Jung Jin Ah?
I can't tell you that.
I have to meet her.
- So help me find her. - You're a jerk who stalks girls.
How dare you cause a scene here?
I'm a stalker? What are you talking about?
That woman Jin Ah said you're a stalker,
and she's sick of you.
She asked me not to give you her number no matter what.
You're lying. That can't be.
Jin Ah wouldn't have said that.
I'll ask her myself.
So give me her number.
Can't you see that she is avoiding you?
Or are you being unreasonable in denial?
Jin Ah is avoiding me?
She would've called you if she wanted to.
She probably had a situation.
I'm sure of it.
Listen, Mr. Yang.
Do you even know the current status of Hyunkang Group...
after Grandpa passed away?
Why would you bring that up now?
The foreign companies that we planned to collaborate with...
are canceling the projects we've been working on.
- What? - I'm working hard day and night...
to downsize the company and secure funds Hyunkang Group.
But all you do is chase after girls.
I resent Grandpa for making you a candidate...
for inheriting the company just because you're his grandson.
Go back to your hometown right now.
And never show up in front of me again.
I didn't know.
I just thought...
you were doing well.
You're smart.
You're better educated and more competent than me.
This is your last chance.
You're a rotten apple that spoils the whole barrel.
I won't let it slide again.
Oh, Yeon Sil. What brings you here?
Why are you standing like that?
Do you have something to tell me?
Man Seok, I'm sorry.
I deserve to be reprimanded.
Gosh. What's the matter, Seon Gyu?
What is going on?
Well, it's all my fault.
I should've taught him better.
By any chance,
are you the one that caused the trouble?
I'm... I'm sorry, Man Seok.
I deserve to be punished.
Gosh, have you lost your mind?
How could you do this to me?
Do you want the company to go belly up or what?
He needed the money to pay back a private loan.
What? A private loan? For what?
He stood surety for a friend, and things went wrong.
Seon Gyu is too tenderhearted. When he likes someone,
he doesn't hesitate to give the person his everything.
If you were in need of money, you should've just told me.
How could you sell our fabrics off like that?
He knows that what he did is wrong.
He wanted to jump into the Han River because he couldn't face you.
It took me a lot to dissuade him and bring him here.
What? The Han River?
You wanted to jump into the river?
You were going to take your own life after causing this disaster?
As they say, "Love the sinner, but hate the sin."
I know that what he did is unacceptable,
but he is...
my one and only brother.
Don't, Seon Gyu. Put this down, please.
- Give it to me. - I should just die.
I should take this and die!
- Please don't do this! - Seon Gyu, what are you doing?
- Give it to me. - Just leave me be.
I deserve to die.
I said, give me the pills.
You taking your own life won't solve any problems,
so don't do this ever again.
Please forgive him just this once, Man Seok.
It's all my fault.
Thanks to him, I could leave my abusive husband,
and he's been supporting me...
with his hard-earned money.
If you forgive him this once, I'll make sure this never happens again.
Please? Please, Man Seok.
How could you do this to me?
Marrying you was not easy.
Even though Seung Joo was so against it,
I pushed ahead with it.
How could you betray my trust like this?
I'll be better to you.
I don't need a housekeeper.
I'll be a great housewife,
and I'll take care of all the chores myself.
I'll do everything you ask me to do, Man Seok.
So please...
Please don't leave me, Man Seok.
I love you.
Minhan's President Han must be utterly shocked.
Nicely done.
We have to show him what can happen to him...
if he ever decides to turn against us.
President Han is driven into a corner now,
so things may end up being easier than we expected.
He's driven into a corner?
Apparently, his employee sold their imported fabrics at a cheap price.
- What? - Do you know who that employee is?
President Han's brother-in-law.
I knew something like that would happen.
He fooled his own daughter...
to marry that woman who has no class.
Without the shares that he has,
Seung Joo is obviously way below your league.
Her father is dumb, and she doesn't know her place.
So what will you do now?
I should take advantage of this opportunity.
All right.
Oh, I'm going to stop by your grandfather's house today.
For what?
I want to redo the decor.
It's too dull and grim now. I want to change the wallpaper...
and get new furniture pieces.
It's our place now, you know.
Ms. Han Seung Joo is here, ma'am.
Han Seung Joo?
Tell her that I'm not here.
Why are you doing that?
She made a big mistake,
so we should give her more time to repent.
When people are forgiven easily,
they usually repeat the same mistake.
I should go meet with Lawyer Heo.
There are some things I must finish off.
But all you do is chase after girls.
I resent Grandpa for making you a candidate...
for inheriting the company just because you're his grandson.
Ms. Choi Soo Hee isn't in her office at the moment.
Then I'll wait here until she comes back.
She won't be back today.
Make an appointment and come again another time.
Why did you want to see me?
About Father's house... Nam Jin and Si Woo...
have decided to co-own it. You're aware, right?
- Pardon me? - I've already talked to Nam Jin.
I'll pay the inheritance tax, so please change the ownership.
I see.
I'll check with Nam Jin and proceed accordingly.
Si Woo and I will move into the house...
after Nam Jin moves back to his hometown,
so please make sure you change the ownership before that.
You'll move into that house?
Okay, I'll make sure.
Oh, right.
Ms. Heo is...
your sister, right?
Yes, she is.
Nam Jin asked me to make sure...
that Ms. Heo can stay at that house,
and I said I would.
But I think it'll make me a bit uncomfortable.
I'm picky with people.
Please explain the situation to your sister.
Let her know that I can find her a good job if she's interested.
Okay, understood.
Hello, Mr. Bonjour.
Hello, ma'am.
We have somewhere to go, Mr. Jung.
I'm salivating from just watching you eat.
Hello, Yeon Ji.
I've lived in Seoul for 10 years, but I've never seen anyone...
who can enjoy food this much even when dining solo.
Even the sound is so appetizing.
- This... - The sizzling sound?
- Isn't that what you wanted to say? - Yes.
It is really good.
What's in the marinade?
(Post a video and get a free bottle of soju.)
They give free soju to customers who promote their restaurant.
Shall I post a video, then?
Dae Sik, just keep enjoying the food, okay?
All right.
Okay.
It's done.
What are you doing now?
I'm posting the video on my social media page.
It's done.
Excuse me, a free bottle of soju, please.
What's going on here?
People are already liking the photo.
(Where is that barbecue restaurant?)
That's for us.
Great. Please spread good words about our restaurant.
This guy here is enjoying the food here so much.
A ton of people is already commenting on the video.
My gosh, thank you.
- Please visit us often. Thank you. - Yes, I will.
You know I'm trying to help you be with Jin Ah, right?
Of course.
Do you know why I called you out?
I... I don't know.
Jin Ah won a prize in my company's contest.
That's not all. She won the first prize.
So she said she'll treat me to dinner.
Let's pretend we met by accident,
and you buy us a meal,
so you can win some brownie points.
That's great. I... I'm so happy for Jin Ah.
Of course, I will treat you guys. Eat as much as you want.
She's here. Jin Ah.
Jin Ah, come here.
Dae Sik, what are you doing here?
I met him here by accident.
She... She's right. We met by accident.
Congratulations on winning the contest.
I told him that you won the contest.
I... I will treat the two of you today.
Eat as much as you want, Yeon Ji.
You two eat without me today.
Yeon Ji, let's have dinner together later.
- You can't leave like this. - Jin Ah.
That mean wench.
But... But that...
makes Jin Ah charming.
Cheers.
They say a person with a purpose is a free man.
Then why am I not feeling free?
Exactly. Why is that?
They say a person with a purpose...
is never swayed.
I know.
Then why am I swayed so easily?
Could the purposes we have...
be the wrong ones?
Maybe.
Hyunkang will stop working with my dad's company...
because I called off my engagement to Si Woo.
What?
I just wanted to work...
and love with passion.
Is that wrong?
My grandpa...
once asked me about my dream.
I said that my dream was to build a house in the countryside...
and live with the people I love.
Then he asked what I will do after that.
I haven't thought about what I should do after that.
I've never thought about how I'll live with the people I love,
what I will do to make a living,
or whether I'll be a farmer or a fisherman...
or run a hardware store.
I realized I had never thought about it.
You can take your time to decide on that.
I...
was confident that I could...
give up on becoming the heir of Hyunkang.
In fact, I was afraid.
I'm incompetent.
I'm nobody.
I was afraid anyone might find out about that.
Nam Jin.
However,
I don't think I can run away anymore.
"Even if I fall down or get knocked down,"
"shouldn't I give it a try?"
"If I try with all my might,"
"could I get away from the ditch water I'm living in..."
"and reach the faraway ocean?"
Tell me, Seung Joo.
Do you think...
I can do well?
(It's My Life)
Are you out of touch with Jin Ah?
Who? Has he found Jin Ah?
Nam Jin. Nam Jin.
What are you doing now, Seung Joo?
Did you break off the engagement for this?
Please save me, sir.
Whatever Director Choi says will be the rules of Hyunkang.
Nam Jin, do you have the same thought?
