Seo Jun...
is going to die.
What?
Why is he going to die?
He...
got diagnosed with an incurable illness.
Gosh, be careful.
He got diagnosed with an incurable illness?
You can't...
tell your sister about this.
What kind of illness is it?
Most cancers are curable these days.
Well, it's not cancer.
Then what is it?
Why do you keep asking questions?
You'd better not tell your sister.
If you do,
you won't get to see Eun Byeol anymore.
Don't you dare tell her a word.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Can't you just get rid of Ms. Hong from the company?
She's the only person that my dad can rely on right now.
She's not someone he should rely on.
You don't know what a terrible person she is.
If she really is...
that much of a terrible person like you say she is,
we need to gather evidence to fight back.
We'll get hurt if we act rashly.
So just leave this matter to me...
and focus on the design contest.
You must be dreaming of becoming the madam of LX Group...
because Seo Jun likes you.
But that will never happen...
because I'm going to destroy Seo Jun.
Promise me that.
You...
really don't know her.
Are you here to apologize?
Apologize?
(Advisor, Hong Baek Hee)
Are you not going to apologize...
after what you did to me?
We can check the CCTV footage.
Why would you lie about something you'll eventually get caught with?
Are you dumb or naive?
Do you still not know me after all that you've been through?
Se Hyun needs to know.
After all, he's the only person you're afraid of.
Do you think he'll believe you?
I'm going to tell him over and over again until he does.
(Head Director, Hong Se Hyun)
I didn't push her.
Shouldn't you ask me how she's doing first?
I'm sure she's fine.
She wouldn't have let herself get badly injured.
So Yu, do you really have to go this far...
She's trying to frame me.
She fell down herself but lied to you that I pushed her.
So Yu.
She purposely made So Dam become a surrogate mother...
because she thought So Dam was your first love.
After that, I was her next target.
She used my mom's medical expenses...
to make me seduce the executive director.
She'll do practically anything for you.
Your mom isn't normal.
I can understand why you're misunderstanding her.
It's not a misunderstanding.
She lied to you that I pushed her.
But I really didn't.
- I know. - You know?
She never told me that you pushed her down the stairs.
What?
You keep telling me that she's lying,
but my mom was on your side until the very end.
She kept saying it wasn't your fault.
What?
Will you please leave now?
I'm going to tell him that you pushed me.
She knew that I'd tell Se Hyun.
That's why she mocked me and said she'll tell him that I pushed her.
I got fooled again.
(Daehan University Hospital)
What kind of scene will I be shooting today?
You'll be smashing the chairman's head with a bottle of alcohol.
"His head cracks open like a fish gill..."
"and blood starts trickling down."
"Then she smashes his head one more time."
I think the ratings will go up.
Yes, I'll make the ratings skyrocket.
Hey, don't tell me I have to run today.
I thought I was going to die last time when I had to run...
in my bare feet at minus 10°C.
You won't have to run, but you'll be rolling down the stairs.
I want you to charge them for my medical expenses.
Jin Bok, I'll be back as soon as I'm done shooting my scene.
I'll leave Tae Bok right here,
so you should ask him to do stuff for you.
- Tae Bok. - Yes, sir.
I want you to follow Mi Ri and protect her.
But she told me to stay here and protect you.
Protecting Mi Ri is the same thing as protecting me.
Jin Bok.
Father! Father!
Don't you even dare talk to him about work.
We're about to lose the entire company right now.
How do you expect me to keep quiet?
What do you mean you're about to lose the company?
Hong Baek Hee gobbled up the entire company.
My goodness gracious.
Does that mean Jin Bok's going to go bankrupt?
There's no need to cause a fuss.
She already reported everything to me.
What do you mean she already reported everything?
She wanted to stop you and Ms. Ko from scheming behind my back.
Father, she's... She's trying to frame me.
I was being loyal and trying to protect our company from Baek Hee.
She also did what she did out of loyalty.
So stop causing a fuss.
I'm telling you. You're being fooled by her right now.
- All the board members joined... - Be quiet.
You don't even know anything. Stop making rash comments.
He's seriously being fooled.
Why don't you sit down?
I'll sit there once I truly feel like I belong there.
That's where you belong.
That belonged to you ever since the very beginning.
(Chairman, Choi Jin Bok)
Mom!
I want to break this name plate into little pieces.
I've waited 30 years for this moment.
But...
it's too early to do that right now.
I need to get rid of him from LX Group once and for all.
Instead,
try sitting there just once.
Please do me a favor.
This seat is what was given to you by your dad.
You need to sit there to help him resolve his resentment.
(Chairman, Choi Jin Bok)
Thank you, Se Hyun.
There's nothing more that I wish for.
(Chairman, Choi Jin Bok)
Did you guys plan something behind my back?
You should've just come together.
Why do you have to come separately and make me talk again?
Can't you just ask your husband?
What did I even do to you?
Why are you doing this to me?
Do you think I would've done this...
if you took good care of Ye Ji and cooperated with me?
Goodness.
I can't believe you cheated with a guy who's just as dumb as you.
Apparently, there's already a list of women...
who lost all their money because they got seduced by him.
Couldn't you tell that he was just a gigolo trying to seduce you?
You have it all wrong.
Sure, you wish.
Is it because you met him by coincidence...
at the charnel house?
What? How do you know about that?
Were you a part of that as well?
How did you even know that I go there?
You really are a dumb fool.
No wonder you're such a pushover.
Listen to me.
Why do you think I sent Ye Ji over to your house to live with you?
What? Are you saying that was all part of your plan?
What about the fact that his mom's dead?
His mom runs a stew restaurant in Incheon.
My gosh.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Have you gone mad?
Don't talk to me like I'm your friend.
Okay, I won't.
So please put that down.
Do you think I'm a joke?
No, of course not. I just pity you.
As I got to see how you live,
I couldn't believe you were living such a sad life as a woman myself.
You're mistreated by your dad and your husband.
On top of that, your aunt doesn't even care about your life.
Goodness, there really isn't a single person...
you could rely on.
- Put this down. - Let go.
- Let go! - My goodness.
Let go!
Blood... It's blood.
Here. Take some sleeping pills and get some sleep.
You want me to take pills and fall asleep?
Is that all you have to say to me?
You knew everything.
How... How could you do this to me?
How could you have the audacity...
to stare right into my eyes and ask me that?
Gosh, I might as well just...
Go ahead and hit me.
Getting hit by you is way better than to have you...
chat behind my back.
How could you do this to me when you're my husband?
Shut your filthy mouth.
If you really thought of me as your husband,
you wouldn't have kissed him in front of our own house!
How could you just pretend like you didn't see anything?
Do you think I kept quiet because I wanted to?
I know you only kept quiet because of my aunt.
And that's more of a reason why I despise you right now.
- I want a divorce. - A divorce?
I'm going to file a divorce suit.
Let's just think of her as a person who owns the company's shares.
She owns LX Group's shares.
Father's lying sick in the hospital,
and the company's in a mess.
So let's not add onto it and make things worse.
You should get some sleep first.
Is your hand okay?
Don't touch me.
Do you think I want to touch you?
I did a lot of self-reflection because of what happened.
Self-reflection?
I figured I must've made you extremely lonely...
for you to have cheated on me with such a pathetic punk.
I don't think my heart would've felt so torn apart...
if you had at least cheated on me with a guy that's better than me.
But he's just a lowly gigolo.
There's nothing better about him than me.
He's uglier, less educated,
isn't in better shape, and doesn't even have a better character.
Honey.
Do you remember this necktie?
You got this for me on my birthday.
If I hated you so much, I wouldn't have worn this.
I don't hate you, honey.
So don't think about useless stuff...
and just get some sleep. Okay?
I'm going to go to work now.
Sleep tight.
(Yukgam Manjok)
I don't think I can live with him anymore.
Just hang in there a little bit.
I'll take revenge on your behalf.
You want me to...
hang in there?
That's what you said when you made me move into my dad's house.
You told me to hang in there.
That's what you said when you made me marry Yoon Tae.
You told me to hang in there.
Why do I always have to be the one enduring everything?
That's your fate.
What kind of fate is that?
It's almost done now.
What's almost done? You always say that.
I'll make Jin Bok and Yoon Tae kneel before you.
I don't need any of that.
I just want to be able to breathe a little.
Aunt Myung Shim.
My chest...
My chest hurts so much.
It's as if I'm pinned down.
I can't seem to breathe.
Okay.
Just hang in there.
Congratulations, Director Hong.
We should call you "Chairman Hong" from now on, shouldn't we?
It's not official yet,
so you don't need to change the way you call me for now.
I won't be able to prepare for the FW season with you guys.
So from now on, Ms. Kang will be guiding you as the team manager.
Ms. Kang, move your stuff here once my stuff is all gone.
Okay.
I made this team with a lot of care and affection.
I'll make sure I support you with everything I can...
so that you can bring great results to the company.
I look forward to your work.
Cheers.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Great work. - Congratulations.
- This is great. - Yes.
If she got hurt, she should be treating her wound.
Instead, she's going around hurting others as well.
In the end, the reason you're being like this is also...
because of what your mom had to go through.
Have some of this.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
I'm sorry.
I want to take a bath,
but the bathroom is so tiny.
Go to a sauna.
I can't take a bubble bath there.
I didn't even get to use the bath bomb I got in Fukuoka.
Come on.
Let's go.
We didn't even do anything wrong.
Dad.
Why are you only greeting him? Am I a ghost to you?
Both you and your sister need to learn how to greet an elder.
What are you doing here?
We'll be living here for a while.
Did So Yu give you permission?
Your dad decided to live here, and that's all that matters.
We don't need your sister's opinion.
Why are you outside? You agreed to stay inside the room.
Gosh.
The room is so darn tiny.
- What? - Let's go inside.
The famous Eun So Dam is here,
so we should hear her story. Why would we go inside?
So Dam, follow me.
You said you'll do all the household chores.
You'll have to do the dishes after you eat anyway.
You have so much to say for someone who isn't even part of the family.
Honey.
Is there something going on?
You suddenly show up out of nowhere,
and you keep saying the same thing over and over again.
What's wrong? Tell me.
We're the only ones left.
There's nothing you can't tell me.
Tell me.
You should've just married Se Hyun.
What are you talking about?
How can you say that after what Ms. Hong did to you?
Se Hyun didn't take part in anything.
He even came running to the hospital when I fainted.
I already know you're against the executive director.
So let's not talk about that.
What if I'm not against him?
Are you trying to tell me that you grew feelings for him?
What's this?
Do you actually like him?
How... How is that possible?
Once I came to my senses,
I realized that he was already in my heart.
Whenever I eat, I wonder if he ate as well.
And I wonder if he's awake the moment I wake up every morning.
I can't stop thinking about him.
He...
got diagnosed with an incurable illness.
No, I can't approve of him.
Seo Hyung.
Did you tell So Yu?
No, I told So Dam, not So Yu.
I didn't plan on telling her anything.
I was talking to Tae Woong about it because I felt so upset.
And So Dam overheard.
No, wait.
I told her not to tell her sister anything.
But I'm just worried...
that she might tell her sister out of concern.
I couldn't fall asleep because of that.
They even threw away food waste in here.
They are so unbelievable.
Hey, please do our laundry as well while you're at it.
Who's here at this hour?
- Who is it? - I'm Choi Seo Jun.
My goodness. Choi Seo Jun?
What are you doing here again?
Go inside.
What brings you here, sir?
I came to meet So Yu.
But I didn't bring my cell phone.
So Yu isn't here right now.
She went to take So Dam to your sister's place.
Then I'll just wait in my car.
My goodness.
I can't let you do that.
I actually wanted to talk to you,
but I couldn't reach you because I didn't know your number.
This is really great.
- You should come inside. Come on. - Okay.
(So Yu)
Drink up.
Okay. But may I ask why you're here?
Something happened to us,
so we decided to live here for the time being.
What are you doing here? You're not part of our family.
So Yu wanted me to tell you that you should wait outside.
Why would she ask him to do that? He's a precious guest.
We're not going to say anything inappropriate to him.
It's only natural for her dad to be curious...
of his daughter's boyfriend.
You should just wait outside.
We have something to say to him.
Go ahead.
You should say it, honey.
I'm living here right now because my investment...
didn't exactly go very well.
But we need to get back on our feet...
in order for So Yu to live more comfortably.
We don't ask for much.
Can you just give us...
an LX Apparel store?
You're totally trying to rob him right now.
What? How exactly are we robbing him?
If you want to marry a woman who's not financially stable,
this is the least you should do.
Yes, of course. When a man wants to marry a woman,
he should show his respect to the woman's family.
Exactly.
I understand what you mean.
I knew it.
I knew he'd be easy to talk to.
No, you can't. Then they'll harass So Yu...
if they go bankrupt again.
But on one condition.
On one condition?
You need to gain my trust first.
Trust? What do you mean?
I need to be able to trust that you'll never harass So Yu again.
My gosh, why would we harass her?
She's the one who bothered us...
by asking us to pay for her tuition and her mom's medical expenses.
Yes, she's right. We've been living our entire life as strangers.
If you buy us a house...
and give us a store we can manage,
we'll never bother her again and live like complete strangers.
But I need to be able to trust that you won't harass her again.
What?
You need to be able to trust that we won't harass her again?
You asked them to get a signature from Chae Young every day?
It seemed like they needed to remodel their characters.
That's not going to change them.
Don't ever help them out, okay?
I just played a prank because I didn't want them to bother you.
So don't worry too much.
Why did your sister visit you?
I think...
So Dam's having a hard time accepting you.
Yes, of course.
What's wrong?
It sounds like you're giving up.
I thought about it.
And I thought maybe I'm giving you a hard time by liking you...
No.
Even if I tell you to stop liking me...
and tell you that I can't be with you because of So Dam,
I still don't want you to give up on me.
I realized how I truly felt about you...
as I talked to So Dam earlier.
Even if it's going to take a long time for us to get acknowledged,
I hope you'll never give up...
and keep liking me.
Congratulations, Ms. Kang.
Pardon? For what?
Congratulations on becoming the team manager.
Oh, that?
Se Hyun used to be in charge...
of this team when he was a director,
so it won't be the same as other team managers.
Don't worry. That doesn't matter.
It's not like I came here for the position anyway.
Oh, right. Yes, I forgot.
What happened to your leg?
I fell down the stairs.
You should get back to work. I need to answer this call.
Yes, Mr. Park.
Yes, of course.
You should just focus on the board members.
Don't worry about Seo Jun.
He'll end up losing everything anyway.
Seo Jun will never be able to enter LX Group.
I wouldn't say something like this without a plan.
Yes, just trust me.
Okay, bye.
(Voice recording)
What do you think you're doing?
What are you scheming behind the executive director's back?
I heard you talking on the phone saying,
"Don't worry about Seo Jun. He'll end up losing everything anyway."
Are you that scared to hear that he'll end up losing everything?
Up until a while ago, you were crazy about Se Hyun.
And now, you're all about Seo Jun.
It's really disgusting.
I'm not going to let you harm...
the executive director like you harmed me and So Dam.
How are you going to protect him when you couldn't even...
protect your mom and sister?
You're being so annoying.
Will you please stop getting in my way?
Don't you feel sorry that I have to put this on because of you?
You're the one who's putting on a show.
This is nothing compared to everything I've done.
I even made your sister become a surrogate mother...
because I wanted to separate her from Se Hyun.
Are you admitting that you purposely...
made So Dam become a surrogate mother?
Yes, that's right. I admit it. What are you going to do about that?
Did you also make me seduce the executive director...
because you wanted to separate me from Se Hyun as well?
I was killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
I already told you that.
I could stop Seo Jun and Ji Yoon's engagement,
and I could also separate you from Se Hyun.
And you're doing this to the executive director...
because he's in the way of Se Hyun becoming the chairman, right?
I won't forgive anyone including Seo Jun...
who gets in the way of my son's success.
I'm not going to let you get away with it this time.
I'm going to prove everything that you've ever done.
Ms. Yoon.
What are you doing?
You must be really excited...
since you just heard me confess everything.
Let me go.
(Voice recording)
She was recording the conversation, ma'am.
I knew you were onto something the moment you started coming at me.
Delete it.
No!
(Gangnam Scandal)
What are you doing? The chairman wants you in his office.
Can I tell him everything that happened?
I'll take care of it.
- Am I supposed to do nothing? - Give me a chance.
- Executive Director Choi sent this. - Seo Jun?
I abandoned you because I wanted to become the chairman,
and you abandoned me because of a woman.
Do you not care at all even after hearing about...
what your mom did to So Yu?
It's only one side of the story. Don't make rash judgements.
There might be more to your mom than what meets the eye.
