Hong Baek Hee!
You darn wench!
Ms. Yoon.
(Acting Chairman, Hong Se Hyun)
Did something happen to my mom?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are to hurt Seo Kyung?
You already took her mom away from her.
What's the point of making her hate her own dad at this point...
by saying something like that to her, you wench?
You spiteful and disgusting little wench!
You're the one who's full of spite for making her grow up...
with a dad like that.
What did I do so wrong? All I did was tell her the truth.
I felt sorry that she had to grow up without a mom,
so I at least wanted her to receive some fatherly affection.
Then you should've just stayed quiet.
Why would you covet LX?
Because I wanted to see you lose everything!
Do you have a problem with that?
I'm just a puppet who only follows...
the chairman's orders.
So why are you doing this to me?
I'm going to make sure...
I destroy you and Jin Bok before I die.
Then you'll have to live for eternity...
because that will never happen.
What are you doing?
Hurry up and take this old woman out of here.
- Yes, ma'am. - Don't come near me!
Don't you dare touch me.
If you do, I'll make sure you all end up in jail!
Are you Hong Baek Hee's son?
Who are you?
Your mom has committed so many horrible sins.
She made so many people suffer just to provide that position for you,
and you didn't seem to have a problem accepting it right away.
That already shows that you're just as horrible.
Mom.
Who's the woman that just left?
Her name is Ko Myung Shim, and she's Choi Seo Kyung's aunt.
Did she do this to you?
Why?
Se Hyun, I think I need to go home.
- Ms. Yoon. - I'll take you home.
There's no need. I'm sure you're busy.
Why are you taking the blame for what the chairman did?
I was at the forefront of the incident,
so there's nothing I can do.
This kind of stuff happens a couple times every day.
Why would you let yourself go through something like this?
I told you that my life-long goal...
is to retrieve LX Group.
That's the only way I'll be able to face your dad after I die.
Why did you do that to Seo Jun...
when all we have left is the shareholders' meeting?
It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to buy Chairman Choi's shares.
And I couldn't let that opportunity just slip away.
Tell Chairman Choi that the cure was fake.
That will be for the best.
If you stay quiet...
That won't cut it.
What do you mean?
Tell me.
Does someone else know about this?
So Yu?
She and I agreed to tell Chairman Choi today after work.
What?
You're going to destroy...
all the hard work I've been putting in for 30 years?
Seo Jun's life is at risk.
My life is at risk.
If I fail to give LX Group to you this time,
there will be no more reason for me to live.
You really shouldn't have lied...
about Seo Jun's cure.
Can't you just let it slide for a few days...
just until the general shareholders' meeting?
Once the shareholders decide to dismiss Chairman Choi...
and you get voted as the official chairman,
I'll do everything I can to find a cure for Seo Jun.
I promise, Se Hyun.
Please... Please save me.
Please stop So Yu.
You're the only person that can stop her.
Se Hyun, please.
You should get changed.
Okay.
Mom.
Yes? What... What is it?
Will you trust me...
and do as I say?
What... What's your plan?
Is there a design that stands out to you?
- Hello. How are you? - Hi.
These are selections from the design competition.
- What do you think? - I love it.
Actually, I think I'll wear them all the time.
Lifestyle casual.
That's exactly what we're about.
You have to choose your favorite.
Have you made up your mind?
Yes.
Can you pick out your favorite one?
This one.
This is the one I want to wear for the shoot.
Did he choose So Yu's?
- My goodness. - Congratulations.
This is really great.
Excellent choice.
Do you remember So Yu from last time?
Of course, I do.
She designed this piece.
Really?
How could you make such a beautiful design...
with something so simple?
It's impressive.
I tried to express his swing through this design.
She tried expressing your swing in this piece.
This represents my swing?
You're really the best.
Thank you.
Well, then. Shall we start the shoot?
- Yes, let's go. - Alright.
Let's get ready.
- Okay. - Okay.
Why are you so hesitant to tell me?
I believe...
that you'll get better no matter what.
Me too. I have a good feeling about this for some reason.
They're going through a clinical trial with their cure.
And as soon as they get the results,
it will be provided to everyone that's on the waiting list.
How do you know about that even better than I do?
Did you meet my doctor?
Yes, I met him with Se Hyun.
Why? Is there a problem?
So Yu.
The IV you got recently...
Apparently, it wasn't a cure.
What do you mean?
Ms. Hong lied again.
What do you mean it wasn't a cure?
It was just a vitamin IV.
Who told you that?
On the day you got the IV,
I got worried,
so I asked the nurse.
And I heard her say that it's nothing but vitamin.
I got really nervous,
so I took the IV bag from your hospital room...
and took it to the doctor and asked what it was.
And he told you that it was just vitamin?
Se Hyun and I agreed to visit the chairman tonight...
and tell him everything.
Everything's...
back to point zero.
So Yu!
I'll close the door, sir.
No, it's okay.
What's going on?
I didn't want you to forget that you won the contest.
Come inside.
- Come in. - Come in.
- Congratulations - Congratulations
- On winning the contest - On winning the contest
Hurry.
You should blow out the candles.
So Yu rarely cries. She must be really happy.
Congratulations, So Yu.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Okay, let's try that again.
You're amazing. I'm so impressed.
(Seo Jun)
I made this with a lot of effort.
It's for you, Chae Young.
Did you educate them to be nice?
You can't educate them.
Threatening them is the only thing that works on them.
My goodness.
How are things going with So Yu and Seo Jun?
It's none of your business.
You guys must be bored.
Did you clean the bathroom?
It's so clean that people can even eat there.
- Go ahead and check. - "Go ahead and check"?
Chae Young, what do you think about a part-timer...
who speaks casually to his boss?
Don't people like that normally get fired?
I cleaned it spotlessly, sir.
Time out.
I'm asking you this as So Yu's stepmother,
not a part-timer who works here.
Stepmother, my foot.
Did they take things to another level?
What do you mean?
I'm asking if Chairman Choi might be able to have...
grandchildren soon, you fool.
Didn't I tell you to be smart?
The only way So Yu can survive is to get pregnant.
If she gets pregnant, she'll be able to gain a fortune.
So why would she miss such a great opportunity?
Why would she have a kid with a guy who's terminally ill?
He's not just an ordinary guy who's terminally ill.
He's a terminally ill patient who's also the heir of LX.
It's not like I can lock them up in a room.
Gosh, this is so frustrating.
Hey.
Is Seo Jun's body functioning well?
Gosh, why do you always talk like that?
Do you study what kind of words you need to use...
to provoke people every night?
I'm asking if he's healthy and well.
What's wrong with asking if his body is functioning well?
He received a cure from a famous research center in Switzerland.
So he'll recover in no time, so don't even worry.
What?
Seo Jun's going to get better?
No wonder Chairman Choi was so confident in front of us.
My goodness.
I knew it.
He's the type that goes crazy about carrying on his family tree.
So I knew something was wrong when he reacted that way.
He yelled at us because he knew his son was going to get better.
I guess we won't be able to become in-laws with LX.
Well, it wouldn't be so bad to have a son-in-law...
who's the grandson of a famous restaurant owner.
What?
Hey, what do you think about So Yu?
Let's be honest. So Yu's way better than her.
You'd better shut your mouth before I make you drink coffee...
that's made with water from the toilet.
They don't even deserve that water.
Should we start cleaning?
They all live one house
Daddy bear, Mommy bear, and Baby bear
What's the happy occasion that's making you sing?
Do you feel happy now that Tae Woong and I are fighting?
No, that's not it.
Then are you saying I'm hearing things or what?
I clearly heard you sing.
You were singing "The Three Bears".
Are you trying to say that you're the mommy bear?
No, Ms. Choi.
Don't lie to me.
Why don't you just sing this?
Mommy bear is a surrogate
- How about that? - Ms. Choi.
Eun Byeol understands everything you say.
What? How is that even possible?
She may not know what it means.
But she knows if you're saying it out of love...
or hate.
- What? - She gets hurt...
every time you guys fight.
That's why I was singing for her.
What is she even saying?
Hey, Attorney Hwang. What do you want?
What? Tae Woong?
He handed in a video as evidence?
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Is there anything else that you would like?
We'll take another one of this pizza to go, please.
Diablo? Okay, I'll have it ready for you.
Hey, Tae Woong.
- You're unbelievable. - I have customers here.
If you cause trouble,
I'll take a video of that as well and hand it in as evidence.
So you'd better stay quiet.
You little jerk.
Can we get some more pickles?
Excuse me.
My name isn't "Excuse me". It's Choi Seo Hyung.
What? I asked you for some pickles.
Hey, who do you think you're talking to?
What is your problem?
Miss, I'm sorry.
Here's your pickle.
- I'm sorry. - Are you serious?
I told you to stay quiet.
How can I stay quiet right now?
Tell them to leave.
You don't need to pay, so just get out of here.
I'm sorry.
She's a bit sick in the mind.
I'm sorry.
- We don't need the pizza to go. - I'm sorry.
Is she crazy or what? My gosh.
- I'm sorry. - She's so ugly.
It's 45 dollars.
- My gosh, what an ignorant brat. - Here you go.
I don't need the receipt.
I'm sorry.
Don't accept customers like her.
Gosh, my mouth hurts.
What are you doing?
My attorney told me to take a video of everything you do wrong.
He thinks you won't be able to get custody of our child.
What? What kind of crazy attorney is he?
What's his name?
It's already written on the divorce paper.
You should take a thorough look at it...
because I'm going to do everything I can...
to win custody for Eun Byeol's sake.
Have you gone crazy?
Tae Woong.
Hey.
Hey!
I bumped into those two foreigners here.
And after I took a few steps,
my hand suddenly felt weird.
So I checked my wrist,
and that's when I realized that my watch was gone.
Then you should've reported them that day.
You can't do this now.
I thought I left it at home.
But it wasn't there.
What do you expect me to do when I couldn't find it anywhere?
They stole a 35,000-dollar watch, and you expect me to stay still?
I mean, it's not like we're asking you for compensation.
We just want to take a look at the CCTV footage.
Why won't you let us do that?
Honey, should we just cause a fuss out of this?
Should we?
"Someone stole my watch at the hospital."
"But the hospital security doesn't seem to care at all."
"How can a patient trust a hospital like this?"
I can already think of a headline for that article.
What do you think you're doing?
What? I'm going to use this as evidence to prove...
that you didn't cooperate with us.
Okay, fine.
Are you going to stay quiet if I give you a screen capture...
of those two foreigners?
Yes, of course.
If you give us their photos, we'll find them ourselves.
Right, honey?
Honey, don't you have a friend who's an international police?
Yes, I already called Sam who works at Interpol.
Should we just ask him to do a special investigation here...
so that there will be a huge fuss at the hospital?
Yes, they can also call the CSI to collect blood and stuff.
Which team are you going to ask for? New York or Miami?
- The team in New York is the best. - Yes, they're better.
So what happened?
Here you go.
We want 1,000 dollars for this.
We really poured out our soul in acting today.
Secretary Woo, would you like to work with me as a team?
It turns out that we're great together.
It seems like your ex-wife is trying to hire me.
Cut the nonsense.
Did you find out who they are?
We sent the photo to the research center in Switzerland...
and asked them if they could cooperate in identifying them.
Cooperate?
Aren't they really busy?
Did they agree to cooperate with you right away?
When I told them that a couple of swindlers...
are misusing the name of their research center,
they agreed to identify them right away.
So what did they say?
Did they really turn out to be swindlers?
They said they'll call, but I haven't heard from them yet.
Just a moment.
It's an international call.
Hello?
Oh, yes. That's me.
Oh, really? Oh, my gosh.
Yes, of course. Okay.
Okay, bye. Thank you.
They don't have any employees who look like them.
They asked me to contact them if they ever try to scam us again...
and that they'll do their best...
to prevent anything like this from happening again.
And this guy also told me that he's a fan of BTS.
You understood all that?
What's important is that these two don't work for them.
What are we going to do now?
What do you think?
You should expose everything to Chairman Choi.
How?
If you stall with stuff like this, people will only lose interest.
You should go and tell him that they're swindlers.
I wonder if he'll believe me.
You think too much. That's your problem.
You said you need to get rid of Hong Baek Hee and her son first.
What's more shocking than this?
Hong Baek Hee is a genius when it comes to counterattacks.
That's such a cowardly excuse.
You're not going to attack...
because you're scared of her counterattack?
I never said I'm not going to attack.
I'm just saying I need to think of how she will react...
My gosh.
I never said I won't attack.
I'll do it, okay? I'm going to attack her.
But I need to be fully prepared for her counterattack.
You always make me stand on the front line.
I did everything you told me to.
But can you tell me what your plan is?
You need to explain to me in order for me to feel at ease.
If you don't want to see your team disappear,
just do as I say.
Don't let her use her phone, and don't let anyone visit her.
Yes, sir.
If you try to do things your way again,
I'm going to abandon you.
Yes... Yes, okay.
I'll do what you tell me to do.
I don't think they're in the mood to eat fruit.
I think we should just give them tea.
No, we need to try to brighten up the mood at times like this.
Hurry up.
I need to take it outside before Jin Bok starts hating on So Yu.
Just wait.
What's important is the taste, not how they look.
- My gosh, seriously. - I'll carry it.
I have arms too.
It's my job to carry food on the tray.
I'll take over starting from today. Are you happy now?
I even got a talisman to get rid of that woman.
But she's acting up more and more every day.
Ms. Hong already took care of everything.
What more do you need to check?
This is the record of deposit made to the research center,
and this is a thank you letter we got from them.
And here are the test results of the cure.
What more is missing?
You're being ridiculous.
So Yu, if you didn't eat dinner,
would you like me to fix you something to eat?
No, it's okay.
We have some cake.
No, it's okay.
What's it about? Why do you guys look so serious?
I'll tell you once Se Hyun arrives.
What's going on? Why is Se Hyun joining us?
He said he'll tell us once Se Hyun arrives.
According to the documents, everything seems fine.
Look at you guys whispering.
The way they're sitting together makes them seem like newlyweds.
Don't you agree, Jin Bok?
You're a quick-witted person. Why are you talking nonsense?
I'm just scared because you all seem so tense.
I'm worried that you might suddenly start yelling...
and suddenly collapse.
Seo Jun. So Yu.
I don't know what's going on.
But Jin Bok's still a patient.
If it's something that might shock him,
you should just keep it to yourselves.
My goodness, do you think I can't hear you?
How can you say that when I'm right here?
I'm just worried.
See? It must be something really serious.
Then how about we go upstairs and you tell me first?
I'll hear it first and check...
if it's okay for Jin Bok to hear it or not.
Are you a court lady or something?
A court lady?
Are you talking about those people who check the king's food...
before he eats it to see if it's poisoned or not?
Yes, that's right. That's what I am.
You guys are really starting to worry me now.
What is it about?
You keep exchanging looks, but you're not saying anything.
And So Yu's been shaking ever since she came here, Jin Bok.
To be honest...
Never mind. I'll just tell you once Se Hyun gets here.
I'm so curious that I might collapse before Jin Bok.
- My goodness. - Call Se Hyun.
Should we just start telling him first?
Dad, don't get too shocked.
I think the cure I received was fake.
What?
You think the cure you received was fake?
But I thought that was really expensive.
Who thought of something so ridiculous?
Is it you?
Are you the one who said that nonsense?
I don't think it's nonsense, Dad.
What makes you so confident to say something so absurd?
I always had my doubts about Ms. Hong.
So I took the IV bag...
to Executive Director Choi's doctor and asked him to check it.
And what did he say?
Apparently, he told her that it's just a vitamin IV.
Jin Bok.
Is... Is that true?
Are you sure?
Yes, sir.
Then why is Se Hyun on his way here?
He also checked with So Yu.
Then...
are you saying Ms. Hong lied to me?
Father! Father!
We're in a situation right now.
Apparently, Seo Jun thinks his cure was fake.
What? How did you know that?
What?
Did you know about this?
That's why I came running here as fast as I could...
How did you know?
I was worried about you,
so I made my secretary tail the staff from the research center.
But they were perfectly fluent in Korean,
and it seemed like they live here.
So I sent a screen capture of the CCTV footage...
and asked the research center to confirm them for me.
And?
But apparently, they don't work there.
Ms. Hong... Ms. Hong lied to me?
That's impossible. There's no way.
Call Ms. Hong. Call her over here.
Okay, I'll call her.
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail. Please...
I think she already ran away.
- What do you mean? - I just called,
and her phone's turned off.
She even puts her cell phone in a zipper bag...
when she takes a shower so that she won't miss any of Father's calls.
I'm pretty sure she fled to a foreign country.
Shouldn't we forbid her from leaving the country?
That's... That's...
She would never do that to me.
My gosh, Father. You let her betray you with your eyes wide open.
Do you still not realize how serious this is?
LX no longer belongs to the Choi family. The Hong family took over.
She told me that she only did that to protect us.
Do you actually believe that?
They took your money and fled.
Call Se Hyun.
- My gosh. - I'll call him.
(Se Hyun)
(Gangnam Scandal)
My mom collapsed after she found out that she got scammed.
Ms. Hong also got scammed?
You're not helping your mom by doing this.
You don't know anything, so stay quiet.
- You really are her son. - I told you to watch what you say.
- Good luck. - Don't touch me.
Your prince charming is about to die.
No prince ends up dying in a fairy tale.
It's the mean queen that always dies.
Don't forget that.
