Look at this, Se Hyun.
Is it about Seo Jun's medicine?
(LX Group Stock Ownership Percentage)
This is...
Now, we have more stocks than Chairman Choi...
if we add both our stocks together.
How is this possible?
How did he lose so much?
And how did you manage to get the money to buy all this?
Once I started becoming desperate, I was able to see the way.
Where did you suddenly get...
so much money...
to buy all this?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Mom.
Where did you get all this money?
I borrowed it from everyone that wanted you to become the chairman.
- You borrowed it? - Don't worry.
I'll take care of this.
Meanwhile, you should focus on developing the new FW products...
and the collaboration with Woodroffe.
Just focus on what you're doing in the company.
Okay.
I think we should make the employees vote for the final designs...
once the samples are out. What do you think?
Are you going to let all the employees vote?
Yes. Though I know we can't predict what Woodroffe might choose,
it's important to know the reactions domestic consumers for sales.
So it's kind of like conducting a pre-market survey.
The samples will be out tomorrow, so we'll prepare for the vote.
It'd be fantastic if Woodroffe and the employees...
choose the same design.
I wonder whose will get chosen. It'll be like becoming Cinderella.
I've never seen you wear that ring before.
Me neither. Did you secretly get matching rings with your boyfriend?
That must be it.
Can I ask you whom your boyfriend is?
I'll tell you next time.
If you get positive reactions from the vote,
you can try adding the product to our new FW line.
Okay.
I'm sure everything is unfamiliar to you here.
But I'm relieved to see that you're doing well.
Wherever you go, marketing is always pretty similar.
Thanks to you, I'll get to leave your office feeling fantastic.
This wasn't even that grand of a compliment.
It's because I noticed that you're not wearing a matching ring.
A matching ring?
To be honest, I was quite bothered...
by the way you always looked at So Yu.
And?
Today, I noticed that So Yu was wearing a ring.
And that suddenly got me worried.
I was really nervous...
thinking that I might see you wearing the same ring...
once I entered your office.
But you're not, so I'm relieved.
Bye, then.
Mr. Kim will be in charge of visiting the stores now,
so you won't need to do that for a while. That's all, sir.
If you don't have anything else to say, I'll be off now.
Is there a secretary manual saying you shouldn't...
have private conversations with your boss?
Is there something you'd like to say?
We see each other every day.
So if you saw this on my finger,
shouldn't you naturally be asking what it is,
who the girl is,
and how I proposed?
Pardon, sir?
I'm telling you first before anyone else...
because I feel like you might feel betrayed...
if you hear it from someone else.
I got matching rings with So Yu.
But aren't you ill, sir? How...
I think I'll be able to get a cure for my illness soon.
And to celebrate the chance of being able to live,
So Yu put this on my finger this morning.
Are you saying So Yu's the one who proposed to you?
I proposed to her before, but I got rejected.
But today, she came and put this on my finger.
Can you feel just how fatal her charm is?
Yes.
How did you make this in one day?
That's how competent Mr. Choi is.
He's the treasure of our team.
You can drink until you get wasted tonight.
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Kang, do you want to go shopping with me?
Shopping?
- Please stand guard outside. - Okay, sir.
Have you always been lied to?
What are you so suspicious about? You're here confidently...
asking me if it's true or not, and it's quite offending.
You're not lying about the cure, right?
Do you know how excited the executive director is right now?
But if this all turns out to be a lie,
I'm not going to forgive you.
You always say that, but it's really useless, you know.
What have you ever done to me until now?
You were never able to harm me.
I stayed still for Se Hyun's sake.
So are you saying you've transferred from Se Hyun to Seo Jun?
You're such a cheap wench.
You can curse at me or do whatever you want...
because I'll just think of it as your obsession for your son.
But if you're playing tricks with the executive director's life...
What in the world are you talking about?
Why would I play tricks with Seo Jun's life?
What's your deal?
Are you saying I'm lying about a research center...
that doesn't even exist...
and pretending like they said they can cure his illness?
Hey, Mr. Choi.
Send her the address of the research center's webpage,
their phone number, and a copy of their thesis.
Yes, ma'am.
Take a look at everything...
and come back if you still feel suspicious.
I want to believe you.
I really do.
But you lied to me so many times.
It all depends on you.
What do you mean?
I told you to make Se Hyun give up on you once and for all.
Are you seriously asking me...
to tell Se Hyun that I'm pregnant with the executive director's baby?
I can't lie to him about that.
If you don't want to lie,
you can make it come true.
What did you just say?
I'm going to give Seo Jun his cure...
once I become sure that Se Hyun is completely over you.
I'm no longer going to fall for your threats.
I'll just call the research center myself.
But I got the cure through a secret route.
- What? - The patients around the world...
are desperately waiting for a cure to get developed.
So why would Seo Jun be the one to get it first?
I used my connections to get it,
so you won't ever be able to get it yourself.
Do you seriously expect me to believe that?
If you can't, go ahead and check with the research center.
If you call them and ruin my plan...
and have them find out that I can get the cure,
Seo Jun will become helpless.
How can you be so...
If you want to save Seo Jun, you better act quickly.
Chop-chop.
A secret route?
I don't think she used an official route...
to apply for the cure.
Apparently, if I call the research center to check,
her secret route will get exposed,
and we won't be able to get the cure.
Do you not understand why I let you listen...
to that recording?
The reason I did it anyway...
even though I knew it would put you through pain...
was because I was worried that something like this might happen.
See? It happened already.
But she's refusing to give him the cure.
So you need to tell her...
that you're completely over me now.
You have to make it clear to her.
Do you want me to marry the woman she chose for me?
How can you be so cruel to me?
Your so-called mom is playing tricks with the executive director's life.
So how do you expect me to stay calm?
I'm scared that he might die just like my mom.
Please, Se Hyun.
Can you please do something about your mom?
Okay.
If you hesitate...
Okay, I get it. You should leave.
Please come inside.
About that research center in Switzerland...
Get me a record of how much we paid for their research expenses.
Yes, sir.
It's better to just check and get it over with...
than to live miserably by postponing it.
(I love you.)
(Honey, I love you!)
Honey, I love you!
You smiled.
Mission accomplished.
(My So Yu)
I'd like to inform you that you are now...
saved on my cell phone as "Honey".
Sir, we have a situation.
What is it this time?
Hong Se Hyun and Hong Baek Hee became the largest shareholders.
That's nonsense.
They don't even own that many shares to begin with.
They can't become the largest shareholders.
They started buying all the shares...
like a bunch of rebel forces gathering together.
And this is what happened overnight.
Let's see.
What?
How is this...
possible?
It's like I'm watching a movie about a genius con-artist.
I also don't understand how this is possible, sir.
They're trying to get the final vote to become the chairman...
at the general shareholders' meeting.
Find every single person that cooperated with this.
But what can we do? They just transferred their own shares.
But even so, how could they suddenly own this much overnight?
Wait.
Yes, what's up?
How dare they...
Ms. Ko. Ms. Ko?
She really has a horrible temper.
She needs to know what's going on right now.
Gosh.
What's taking you so long to calculate?
Even if your wife gives you all her shares,
it'll still be nowhere near how much they have in total.
Then what am I supposed to do?
I'd rather work for my father-in-law.
I can't work for Se Hyun.
But that's what you're doing right now.
I'm only putting up with it because he's the acting chairman.
But once the shareholders officially vote for him as the chairman,
I'll obviously become his first target.
My gosh.
Why did I call him a mama's boy?
- Why didn't you stop me? Gosh. - What?
I didn't even have time to stop you.
You just said what you wanted to say very confidently.
I always looked up to you,
so I thought you had some kind of a backup plan.
I didn't know you'd get backstabbed so helplessly.
Mom
Why did you have to sing that?
I really shouldn't have sang.
I always sing because you tell me that I'm a good singer.
What are you doing? Get rid of their food!
Our bossam is too precious...
to go into this wench's mouth.
Why are you being so rude to your customer?
I came here to give it a try because Ye Ji kept telling me...
that the food here is great.
I won't ask you to pay, so quietly get lost.
I'll pay, so just pretend like I'm not here.
Can you please let us eat here?
I really wanted to eat this.
Please?
What are you doing here?
I asked her to meet,
and she said we should meet at her aunt's place.
That's why I'm here.
Aunt Myung Shim, I asked her to meet me here.
Don't be so startled.
He kept begging me to let him see you...
just once.
I heard you're not even answering his calls.
You little punks.
You are all out of your minds.
You need to come to your senses!
You'll end up ruining your life...
if you keep spending time with that wench over there!
What are you doing?
Get lost.
I really meant it.
My goodness, you are unbelievable. Cut the nonsense!
Get up right now! Hurry up and get back up!
I'll be honest.
It's true that I wanted to seduce you and get money.
But when I put food on your spoon,
you said no one's ever done that for you before.
And every time I ate,
I kept getting reminded by what you said.
Why don't you just write a poem?
Go. Get out.
I don't care what you say to me.
I'm never going to see you again.
I'm not saying this so you'd see me again.
Then what is it?
What's your purpose of coming here...
and confusing her when she finally managed to move on?
I just don't want you to get hurt.
You're already full of scars,
and I did nothing but add onto that, so I wanted to apologize.
Because you see,
I really did like you.
Okay, I get it.
Now, get lost.
Didn't you hear her?
Go away! Get up! Get up and leave!
Get lost! Go!
He's a nice guy.
Can't you drink?
Do you think I want to drink with you right now?
You're more naive than you look.
If I were you, I would never let myself get dragged here.
But you got fooled the moment I told you...
that I needed to talk to you regarding Ye Ji's school.
Why don't you hear me out since you're already here?
Don't you want to know what it is?
What are you going to do about Ye Ji's school?
I decided to homeschool her.
Is this what you call homeschooling?
"Be careful of men."
That's the biggest lesson any girl can learn.
She still needs to receive education.
Take her back to the States right now.
So I've been thinking. Why don't you buy a house in Vancouver?
- What? - Chinese people who are rich...
buy houses that are worth millions with just one phone call.
The house price in Vancouver is increasing right now.
You should also get one as a means for investment...
and let me and Ye Ji live there.
If you do, we'll get a plane ticket and leave tonight.
People keep telling me to leave,
but I really have nowhere to go.
What do you mean? What about the house in Irvine?
Goodness, seriously? I lost that house ages ago.
If we go back to the States,
Ye Ji and I will end up becoming homeless beggars.
What a horrible mom.
Ms. Choi.
Eun Byeol's weird.
She's been like that ever since last night.
Just take her to the hospital.
I gave her a fever reducer, but she's still burning hot.
She won't eat anything either.
Hey, she's in a serious condition.
What have you been doing?
I'm sorry.
I dozed off for a moment, and when I woke up, she kept throwing up.
Crying about it isn't going to make her get better.
Goodness. Excuse me.
She's burning hot right now, but all you're doing...
is checking her temperature?
Please wait.
Do you even know who I am?
I'm Choi Seo Hyung.
I'm the eldest daughter of LX Group, Choi Seo Hyung.
So?
What an ignorant brat.
I'll save you from getting embarrassed later on.
I want you to call the head of pediatrics right now.
Hey.
How are you going to deal with the aftermath?
If you cause a fuss in the ER,
I'll have to call security.
Hey, my daughter's burning hot right now!
She got a fever reducer,
so stop treating me with disrespect and just wait.
Would you wait if you were in my shoes?
Imagine how you'd feel if she was your daughter.
She can't even eat, and her body's burning.
But all you gave her was just one injection.
You need to wait.
- Ms. Choi. - What?
I think her fever went down.
Really?
Gosh, my legs are shaking. I can't stand anymore.
Goodness, how could she look so soulless...
just because she had a fever?
I was really scared for a moment.
Has this ever happened before?
Once.
Then why didn't you tell me?
When I told you that I took Eun Byeol to the hospital,
you told me that you were tired.
But even so, you should've told me if she was this sick.
Why do you make me look like a bad mom?
This is why Tae Woong...
keeps saying I have no right to be Eun Byeol's mom.
Seriously, you brat.
Goodness.
What am I wearing?
Why didn't you tell me to put on my clothes?
I didn't have time to tell you. You started running with Eun Byeol.
Goodness, I came in slippers.
Don't I seem like a mom?
A mom who has so much love for her daughter.
Eun Byeol.
It's me, your mom.
Do you really not want me to go?
Weren't you the one who tried to break up with me?
Don't go. You should just have fun with me here.
Is there anything you want to eat?
Tell me. I'll ask Ms. Do to cook it for you.
No, I need to go to my store.
Apparently, a lot more customers buy our products...
if people see me sitting in the store.
How much will you earn from doing that?
I'll just give you that money.
We're only living together.
We didn't register our marriage yet.
If we end up breaking up, how am I going to get by?
I'll give you alimony.
You should be telling me that we're never going to break up.
But you're telling me that you're going to give me alimony instead?
So are you not going to take it?
What's that smile for?
I'm smiling because you sound so naive.
What kind of woman doesn't ask for money as they get a divorce?
I mean, look at So Yu.
She's probably getting ready to get...
as much money as she can from Seo Jun.
Gosh, I told you that she's not that type of person.
Yes, she is.
It seems like she's clinging onto Seo Jun even more...
now that she found out about his illness.
I need to make her have a baby regardless of how much it'll cost.
What?
Seo Jun hasn't even fully recovered yet.
But you're going to make her have his baby first?
Our family tree is about to end right now.
I can't just stay still.
Do you think So Yu's a surrogate mother or something?
You're crazy.
I'll make sure she lives decently for the rest of her life.
I'm not that cold-hearted, you know.
My gosh, you're so mean!
I'm going to leave. Goodness.
He is seriously...
so mean.
I want to buy a new set of ears that didn't hear what you just said.
A new set of ears?
It's just so disgusting and shameful.
So I want to erase what I just heard.
I feel the same way. I mean, it's complete nonsense.
Even if they found a cure,
you never know what might happen.
I can't believe he's trying to make her have Seo Jun's baby.
What if Seo Jun ends up dying?
That means So Yu will become a widow in her 20s.
We can't do that to her.
What do mean? Why would So Yu become a widow?
How... How much of our conversation did you hear?
I don't need to hear much. I'm quick with stuff like this.
What are you talking about?
Seo Jun's sick, isn't he?
No... No, he isn't!
He's sick, isn't he?
Judging by his hiccups, that's a yes.
So did the chairman tell So Yu that he'll give her enough money...
to get by for the rest of her life if she has Seo Jun's baby?
She must have incredible ears.
Mi Ri, you just practically admitted everything.
Gosh, this is such an interesting situation.
What's so interesting?
You're a woman too. You should be getting angry.
My gosh.
- Honey. - Yes?
It's time for you to do your part as her dad.
What do you want me to do this time?
Aren't you even angry?
He's trying to use your daughter as a surrogate mother.
A... A surrogate mother?
What do you mean we never paid for the research expenses?
I couldn't find anything on our end,
so I called the research center myself.
And it sounded like they knew nothing about LX Group.
If we didn't fund their research, then did we make donations?
I don't think that was the case either.
Here you go, sir.
(Chairman, Hong Se Hyun)
(Record of transactions)
(Donation made to research center)
It says here that we made donations,
but that money didn't end up going to the research center.
What is this place? Why did we make such a huge donation?
Well, the thing is, it's quite hard to check.
I'm also thinking it might be a paper company.
I'll look into it a bit more, sir.
You may leave.
She definitely siphoned the money making it seem like a donation.
Then what's the truth behind Seo Jun's cure?
The person walking in front of me is a thief.
What were you thinking about?
I've been following you for a while, but you didn't notice.
Really?
Why are you still at work?
I gave orders to lessen your workload.
Because of that, there's nothing for me to do.
Are you feeling okay?
I feel great now that there's a chance that I might get cured.
Even so, you should still go home and get some rest.
Okay.
You're the one who should take things easy.
My dad told me what happened.
I heard you stepped up on purpose...
in order to protect our family.
I didn't even know that. I'm sorry for misunderstanding you.
I don't know how I'm going to repay your mom for everything.
To be honest, I was a bit mean to her...
because I was angry at her for something.
You were angry at her?
Promise me that you'll never get involved with So Yu...
ever again.
If you break your promise,
I'm going to tell Se Hyun everything.
If you do that, I'll die.
Never mind. It's all in the past anyway.
- Seo Jun. - Yes?
About the cure... You must be careful.
Don't be too excited about it. You should calmly look into it...
Don't you know your mom?
She even sent someone to Switzerland and checked everything.
(Daehan University Hospital)
Are you saying the hospital doesn't have any...
direct connections with the research center?
We put Mr. Choi Seo Jun's name on the list,
but we didn't tell him because there's not much hope.
Then is it possible for an individual...
to fund the research using their personal connections...
so that they can be the first person to receive the cure?
I'm not sure. Well...
From what I know, that's not possible.
Why would a renowned research center...
even get involved in something so controversial?
How much...
do you think you know about your mom?
She might not be the person you think she is.
Was she your first love?
If it turns out that she's causing harm to other people...
because she loves you way too much...
(Eun So Dam of Peach Girls Was Once a Surrogate Mother)
You're the only person that can stop her.
You should've prevented her from saying anything...
by forcing her to keep her mouth shut.
How could you let Seo Jun find out?
I already did what I could to make So Yu keep her mouth shut...
when she suddenly showed up at my place this morning.
But how... How could you ruin everything like this?
Stop looking at me as if I'm the one who killed her mom.
I didn't kill her!
- Mom. - What?
Your dad lost LX Group only because he didn't have money,
and I never once thought of the Choi family as the owner.
LX Group is yours, Se Hyun.
There was a time when I hoped that you'd find out...
even if I didn't tell you anything.
I felt like my entire body was going to burst because I was so angry.
But I did my best to keep quiet for your sake.
I don't know what's true...
and what's false.
But now that she says...
she's trying to find a cure for the executive director...
I can't trust her. I want you to look into it yourself.
Is it possible for an individual...
to fund the research using their personal connections...
so that they can be the first person to receive the cure?
From what I know, that's not possible.
You're the only person that can make your mom atone for what she did.
Mom!
Just go! Leave!
Go ahead and just leave!
- Mom! - Leave!
You should protect her and make sure...
she doesn't repeat what she did again.
After all, she's your mom.
I'm pretty sure I made myself clear.
Why did you ask me to meet you again?
By any chance, are you pregnant with Seo Jun's baby already?
Mom.
I asked her to schedule an appointment with you.
What... What?
Why did you do that?
Se... Se Hyun.
Why are you looking at me like that?
What... What did you say to him?
Se Hyun, don't trust her.
She's just trying to come between us.
Everything she says is a lie.
She's practically gone nuts because of Seo Jun.
She's ready to do anything for him right now.
She even threatened me earlier.
Mom!
(Gangnam Scandal)
- Is she going to marry Seo Jun? - What are you talking about?
Do you think I won't be able to do it?
- What do you want? - What do we want?
You're here to confidently take what's yours.
He's So Yu's dad.
You really are a terrible person!
Will you please stop? We have proof.
Are you actually believing her?
I'm thinking about dating Ms. Kang with the intention to marry her.
