(It's My Life)
(There is no probability of paternity.)
How could this be possible?
If they aren't blood-related,
what is going on?
Did she raise an adopted son?
I was told Mr. Ahn got a paternity test as well.
(Corporate lawyer Heo Chung San)
Yes, it's your brother.
I called to ask you something.
When Si Woo's DNA was tested,
I took Mr. Ahn myself.
Of course. Mr. Ahn is meticulous.
He thought Ms. Choi might be up to something...
and said he'd do the test himself.
But why do you ask all of a sudden?
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
Okay, got it.
That's weird.
He asked for Ms. Choi and Si Woo's...
hair and toothbrush.
Why is he asking about Si Woo's DNA test?
He must need it for something.
You know that Mr. Heo never does anything unnecessary.
I know that. However,
- I think it's weird somehow. - Forget about it. Here.
Try this. Here you go.
- Mr. Kim, come in for a second. - Yes, Mr. Heo.
This is the hair and toothbrush of the late Mr. Ahn.
Take this and request for a DNA test for Mr. Choi...
and the late Mr. Ahn again.
Yes, sir.
No one must know about this until everything is revealed.
- Bear that in mind. - Don't worry sir.
No. I'm full.
No, Mr. Choi. Please eat some more.
I ate a lot.
I'll tell Woo Jin...
that you don't eat well and cause me grief.
I'll eat it later.
So don't tell on me.
Okay.
I feel so apologetic towards you, Jin Ah.
Why?
Because you didn't eat much and cause me grief?
I'm sorry for keeping you by my side...
when I can't be sure if I'll recover or not.
Who is keeping whom? I'm with you because I want to be.
I want to go on trips with you.
And when Woo Jin is born,
I want to play soccer with him.
But I can't help feeling afraid...
the day like that might not come.
You said you won't let go of my hand even if it's hard and painful.
So please stay strong.
Okay. I will.
Nam Jin was tested.
Since you two are brothers, I'm sure there will be good news.
Be patient and wait just for a while.
Is that true?
Nam Jin...
is making me feel ashamed to the end.
Even if he doesn't do anything,
he'll become the successor of Hyunkang.
No one would blame him...
for not helping me.
I'm too ashamed to face Nam Jin.
I'm so grateful and apologetic towards him.
(Resignation Letter)
Do you really have to do this?
It was all my fault, so I should take responsibility.
Everyone makes mistakes.
Fortunately, we resolved it, and our sales are increasing slowly.
We have a problem, Mr. Ahn.
What do you mean a problem?
An emergency board meeting will be held soon.
An emergency board meeting?
- What's the agenda? - Well...
It's about terminating Mr. Ahn.
What did you say? Terminating Mr. Ahn?
It's because we damaged Hyunkang's reputation...
and caused the sales to decrease.
It's Ms. Choi again.
Why is she doing this to Mr. Ahn when she's the one who caused it?
Seriously. You're right. Ms. Choi has crossed the line.
But I'll take responsibility and quit.
Why would she try to get Mr. Ahn fired?
Mr. Ahn is her target.
Your resignation won't do any good.
If you quit and run away, what should Mr. Ahn do?
Then shall I talk to Ms. Choi?
I'll tell her to leave him alone since it was my fault.
And will Ms. Choi say, "Oh, I see."
"Then you take full responsibility. I will..."
"leave Mr. Ahn alone"? Do you think she'll say that?
Gosh. Then what should we do?
We should put up a good fight.
Put up a good fight? How?
Even if Mr. Ahn is dismissed, if he becomes the successor,
he'll return to the company.
He's right.
If he kicks out all the directors who were against him,
what should we do?
His team lost in sales of the third round...
and damaged Hyunkang's reputation.
How will he become the successor?
That won't happen, so put your worries to rest.
Mr. Choi is very ill now.
If Mr. Ahn is dismissed, the employees will be uneasy.
Also, will our clients continue to work with Hyunkang...
that lost its captain?
My son will have a liver transplant soon.
If he has surgery, he can return to work in three months.
To be honest, the sales figures of Mr. Ahn's team...
for both the 1st and 2nd rounds are higher.
If Mr. Ahn takes over the management rights,
Mr. Choi's return will be pointless.
1 piece of our clothes is worth 3 pieces of theirs.
As long as we overwhelm them in sales of this round,
our total sales will be higher than theirs. Why can't you see that?
I heard Mr. Ahn's team's sales are increasing slowly.
Are you really sure you can win?
I am Choi Soo Hee.
Even if the sky falls down,
Mr. Ahn won't become the successor.
If the two of you trust me and Mr. Choi,
I'll make sure you will be rewarded for your trust.
Of course, we trust you, Ms. Choi.
You know that we haven't been loyal to you until now...
for a reward.
The two of you make me feel so relieved.
Please excuse me.
Yes, Dr. Kim.
We've finally found a donor.
Is that true?
We got the test result, and it says Mr. Choi's brother, Mr. Ahn,
is a match for the transplant.
Thank you, Dr. Kim.
I'll visit you later today.
They've found a donor.
I think Mr. Choi can return to work sooner than I expected.
Yes. I clearly heard Ms. Choi recommending the dye...
to my dad.
By the way, did the dye cause a problem?
Yes.
Then will my dad really be fired?
No. That won't happen.
We checked his e-mail. The analysis from the Vietnamese company...
says it has no problem.
Having said that,
in order to save your dad's and Mr. Ahn's jobs,
we need your help, Seon Hui.
What should I do?
Can you say what you told us in front of the directors...
at the board meeting?
That's not a problem,
but will they believe what I say?
They could think that I side with my dad because I'm his daughter.
We'll also show them the analysis and e-mails your dad received,
and the phone call recordings between your dad...
and the Vietnamese company.
Recordings?
I may have solid evidence.
Evidence? What evidence?
That day, I recorded our conversation.
I thought she was fabulous.
So I picked her as my role model.
I recorded it so I could hear her words again when things got rough.
Do you have the audio file right now by any chance?
Yes.
Oh, yes.
Hey. Welcome, Ms. Choi.
We got an additional order from the stores.
Everyone is doing a good job.
Well, we're doing well in sales,
but the other team's sales also started to increase,
so we're worried, Ms. Choi.
Ms. Seo.
Place a bulk order at the stores.
A bulk order? How much?
Buy as many pieces as we can.
I'll give you as much money as we need.
Are you suggesting we should hoard our own product?
I don't like that expression.
Let's call it our sales strategy.
Oh, right. She's right. It's a sales strategy.
Ms. Kim, rent a storage unit outside of Seoul...
and store the products we buy.
If we sell them at a reduced price after the contest,
we'll be able to recover the costs.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
It'll be too much work for Yeon Ji to call all the stores alone.
You'll have to help her, Ms. Kim and Mr. Jo.
- Okay. - Okay.
Mr. Choi will soon get surgery.
If things go well, he'll be able to return within three months.
So let's do everything we can until then.
Still, don't you think it's wrong to hoard it?
Mr. Choi will have a fit if he finds out.
We aren't hurting anyone. So what's all the fuss?
We can't win by following the rules.
All right, let's get to work.
Gosh.
It's been a while, Mr. Lee.
I'll wrap up my work and go to Minhan.
Yes, Mr. Lee.
Could I talk to you for a minute, Mr. Ahn?
Fine.
I'm coming too.
Stay out of this, Ms. Han.
Can't you tell where you're not welcomed because of your emotions?
- Wait in the office. - Okay.
I got a call from Dr. Kim earlier today.
I heard you've decided to give Si Woo your liver.
Thank you, Nam Jin.
How could you create such a mess when you're thankful?
What do you mean?
What mess did I create?
You're going to use the third contest to fire me?
That's what I wanted to discuss with you.
The board is saying you should be fired,
but how could I do that?
You're someone I should thank for willingly donate your liver.
So,
I'm planning to suspend you for three months.
Suspend me for three months?
You need time to recover after the surgery.
Come back after you get some rest and recover for three months.
I'll persuade the board during that time.
I finally understand.
Are you saying suspending me is the best way...
to have Si Woo get his surgery as soon as possible?
As soon as the sales for the third contest stabilizes,
I was planning to get surgery for the liver transplant.
However, you're the one...
who ruined everything.
What do you mean I ruined everything?
You should use azo dye.
I don't think triazo will cause any problems.
Azo dye, triazo...
I know a dye company in Vietnam.
I'll give you the contact tomorrow.
This file...
will be shared at the emergency board meeting.
Also, Mr. Lee and Seon Hui...
will give their testimonies.
There is even an e-mail...
you sent Mr. Lee with the contact of the Vietnamese company.
With this much evidence, everyone will figure out...
you're behind the incident.
I told you...
that I suggested it with good intentions.
It's Mr. Lee and your fault...
for not analyzing it properly.
It's my duty to take care of my team members.
I can't let Mr. Lee, who worked so hard,
resign after being falsely accused of something like this.
I won't let my team members become discouraged...
because their team leader was suspended.
I believe we're done.
What are you doing to do? Si Woo is in a critical state.
Are you going to let Si Woo die...
just because you don't want your team members to be discouraged?
You should've just been honest with me...
and asked me to get the surgery quickly to save Si Woo.
Then this wouldn't have happened.
What are you doing? Ms. Lee is watching.
Who cares? I'm so happy.
I didn't see anything.
How can I not like a man that's this dashing?
Let's go, Nam Jin. Come on.
Let's go out, Sun Ja.
I'll buy you nice food and some clothes.
I told you I don't want to.
Why would I eat with you and let you buy me clothes?
I wasn't able to do it in the past,
so I'm trying to make up to you now.
You should've done it earlier.
It's useless even if you give me a billion dollars.
Just get out of my sight, please.
Are you really...
seeing someone?
No, I'm not.
You said you were interested in someone.
It must not have been a lie to get rid of me.
Who is it? Who is that man?
Who is this scoundrel...
that lit a fire in your innocent heart?
How dare you call him a scoundrel!
He isn't someone you should talk about like that.
Don't say another word...
or I'll sew it shut with a sewing machine.
Why you...
Oh, that's hot! What are you doing?
I'm so sorry.
I have shaky hands.
I'll bring you a towel.
Shaky hands? Don't lie to me!
Last time, you tricked me with that watch.
Oh, that's hot.
All right, Mom.
I'll talk to Dae Sik.
I told you I understand.
Bye.
My mom wants us to come and see her.
Your mom?
Yes, Young Cheol must have called her.
He told her that his brother-in-law-to-be...
is generous, nice, and cares for his sister very much.
Would your mom...
like me?
I don't know about everything else,
but she is a bit impatient.
I'm worried a bit because you stutter.
Should I take some speech classes?
That won't change overnight from a few classes.
You're right.
First, just answer her questions.
Be as reserved as you can.
Say as little as you can.
Reserved. What else?
Then you'll have to shower her with gifts.
Shower her with gifts?
My mom likes designer bags.
Buy her a bag first...
and take her out to a nice meal with the neighbors.
Short ribs, if possible.
Okay, short ribs.
I got it.
After that, I'll do the rest.
What time is the flight tomorrow?
We'll pick you up at the airport.
See you tomorrow.
Your Chinese is very good.
You flatter me.
They arrive at 2:20pm, so be at the airport by then.
Take a sign that has the name of the company and the person.
Your jjajangmyeon will get soggy. Eat first.
I can't remember the last time I had oily food.
Do you not like oily food?
Should I order you something else?
No, that's not it. I love it.
I had to get my liver tested...
and didn't eat oily food for a few days.
I'm craving jjajangmyeon right now.
Why did you get your liver tested?
Are you sick?
No, I heard Mr. Choi...
needs a liver transplant.
I just got tested, wondering if I could give him mine.
You'll take a test? What kind of test?
Do you have any problems?
No, it's just a regular checkup.
A regular health checkup.
Mr. Ahn would give him more than just a liver.
I got tested instead,
thinking he shouldn't get tested.
However, I'm not a match.
Please hang in there.
It'll get better soon.
What's wrong with him?
Why is this happening suddenly?
He went into a shock suddenly.
Si Woo.
I don't think Nam Jin will donate his liver.
What should we do?
He said he'll undergo the surgery once the sales become stable.
How can we wait for that when Si Woo needs the surgery right now?
You heard the doctor too.
If he keeps going into shocks and has muscle cramps like this,
he may go into a coma suddenly.
I will take good care of him.
Try harder to convince him.
Nam Jin is trying to stall.
If Si Woo stays in the hospital,
Nam Jin will automatically become the successor of the company.
That's why he's stalling.
You also know that Nam Jin is not that kind of person.
Are you siding with Nam Jin when Si Woo...
is bedridden?
So why did you do it?
What did I do?
If you hadn't sabotaged their sales, Nam Jin would've had the surgery.
Jin Ah.
You mean nothing without Si Woo.
If Si Woo dies, I won't see you again.
So...
do whatever you can to convince him to have the surgery now.
You understand me, right?
Yes, Mother.
Hello, Ms. Choi.
About the emergency board meeting.
- Can you cancel it within today? - Pardon?
The meeting was called yesterday. Why would you cancel it?
It's not necessary to call a meeting now.
So cancel it immediately.
Oh, right. When was the date of my prosecution summon again?
It's next Monday.
- Okay. - A prosecution summon?
It's nothing. Would you like some tea?
Aren't you going to tell me?
Why were you summoned by prosecution?
I said it's nothing. Why do you keep asking that?
I was summoned as a reference witness.
You called the emergency board meeting...
about terminating Mr. Ahn, right?
I told my secretary to cancel it.
I think I misunderstood him.
What on earth are you up to?
Why are you acting like this too?
I'm distressed. Can't you just leave me alone?
Did you really steal Mr. Ahn?
Do you have something to do with the issue regarding their product?
Is it true...
that you also tried to dismiss him after all you've done to him?
What are you going to do if it's true?
I plan to go back to the Europe branch.
I don't want to see you ruining yourself anymore.
You're going back to Europe?
I'm all alone now.
You're making yourself alone.
It's not too late. Stop it now. Please.
Stop it?
Are you telling me to give it all up?
I'm telling you to follow the right path, not give up!
If you have done something wrong, apologize to Mr. Ahn.
And compete fair and square.
The DNA test result for Mr. Choi and the late chairman came out.
(The probability of paternity is 99.8 percent.)
Ms. Choi Soo Hee and Mr. Choi Si Woo...
are not blood-related.
However, Mr. Choi really is the late Mr. Ahn's grandson.
I have no idea what's going on, Mr. Heo.
Si Woo is related to the late Mr. Ahn Young Gyu,
but he's not Ms. Choi's son?
What does that mean?
Did Mr. Ahn Young Gyu have another child?
Are you saying that Ms. Choi never had a baby,
and she raised someone else's son as her own son?
You'd never know.
If you think about what she's done,
she's capable of doing things that we can't even imagine.
Mr. Kim, call Mr. Jang of Team One.
Yes, sir.
Come in.
Welcome.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
I asked you to come because I have something to ask you about.
You and Ms. Choi joined this company in the same year, right?
Yes. That's correct.
Then you must know the late vice-chairman...
Mr. Ahn Young Gyu well.
Of course. He was the manager of our team.
I heard that the late Mr. Ahn and Ms. Choi...
dated publicly back then. Is it true?
Just like Mr. Choi and Ms. Jung,
they were deeply in love.
By any chance, did the late Mr. Ahn...
have another woman?
(It's My Life)
The emergency board meeting has been canceled.
We can't back off just because she canceled the meeting.
Will you call a board meeting again and reveal everything?
Of course, our sales are high.
They're increasing because we're hoarding our product.
What are you saying?
It's Ms. Choi's special sales strategy.
You have to go to the district attorney by 11am today.
Mr. Heo.
