(Episode 84)
I'm...
here to meet Chairman Ma.
There must have been a mistake.
Move. What are you doing?
Before you meet Ma Poong Do,
you better talk to me first.
If you want to protect your daughter's happiness,
you must seize this last chance.
"Last chance"?
(Ma Poong Do)
(Nationwide Participation Content, "The Secret of Baekcheongcho")
You think you can win investments with this?
Everyone will finally see through this fraud against the whole nation.
I'll definitely enjoy watching Ma Poong Do fall.
You're the one who will fall, Ji Na.
I'll protect Poong Do.
You haven't found out the secret of baekcheongcho yet.
What are you going to announce?
Aren't you shamed of fooling people like this?
We're not fooling anyone.
We're pointing out the potential for development.
You're here, Director Baek.
We have a lot to look forward to today.
But we might be wasting our time since we already know the result.
it'll...
let us once again realize how absurd their idea is.
Today's investment briefing has been canceled.
What? It's been canceled?
What are you talking about? Why so suddenly?
You can't just tell us it's been canceled.
I have to know why.
We were about to win this game. Why cancel it now?
Si Joon, what are you thinking?
According to HR Corporation's review,
the baekcheongcho project is receiving a positive response.
It's making a positive impact on the stock prices too.
So?
We've decided to give the project some more time and see.
This is unfair.
You're giving them an advantage.
We're investors. Our primary concern is profits.
That means we do not want to rush...
and take a risk.
Still, this is so sudden.
Isn't it rather good for the Goryeo project?
You've bought some time.
We made the decision after much thought.
I do not want any further discussion on this matter.
The stockholders agreed to it as well.
The new date will be announced soon.
By the way, Ms. Yeo, I'd like like to have a word with you.
Hello, Father.
I was worried because I didn't hear from you.
I'm sorry.
Something came up. We'll have to meet some other time.
No problem.
By the way, is there something wrong?
Don't worry. Let's talk later.
Okay.
What happened to him?
I couldn't ask him on the phone.
Poong Do.
I was about to come. Is it time?
Well...
The investment briefing just got canceled.
What?
This is different from what you promised.
You promised to take our side.
How can you go back on your word?
You're not in the position to do this.
Baek Si Joon!
You only wanted to tease me, didn't you?
Was that your intention?
We'll talk when you're done reading that.
What?
What's this?
(New Brand Proposal)
Impossible.
It's our competitor's FW season proposal.
How can this be possible?
From concept to design,
everything is the exact same as your proposal.
It's clearly plagiarism.
Did you steal their ideas?
There must have been a mistake.
I didn't copy anything! These are all my own ideas!
This is not the time to claim your innocence.
Shouldn't you try to mend the situation first?
If your proposal has gotten through,
HR Corporation would have gotten caught in a plagiarism scandal.
I'm giving you and your team another chance.
I don't want this to cause my company any damage.
Now take care of the rest.
Why are you bringing up my daughter?
I'm sure we both know what this is about.
That watch...
Jo Ji Hwan and Ma Sung Jae's accident.
Say anything about it,
and you'll find yourself in deep trouble.
Don't think the watch you have...
can prove anything.
You better keep your mouth shut.
I knew you're the one...
who tampered with the car.
You killed two people!
Did I?
There's something we shouldn't forget.
You're the one...
who stole "Portrait of a Beauty" from Jo Ji Hwan.
I...
I was going to return it.
I was on my way back to the temple when I saw you.
Who would believe that?
It's too late to pretend to be innocent.
I'm afraid you left...
too much evidence behind.
"Evidence"?
There are many people...
who can testify that you were at Gangnyeong Temple.
You were visited by some police officers, weren't you?
In addition, "Portrait of a Beauty" was handed over to me...
by your daughter, Ji Na.
You used Ji Na to take that painting?
What's your intention?
Why are you doing this?
I'm just a little worried.
If Ma Poong Do corners you, what will you say?
That night...
I clearly saw you tampering with Poong Do's father's car.
I even picked up the watch you dropped.
That's the evidence I have.
You caused the two fathers' accident.
I'll prove it.
Even if that reveals what you did?
I don't care!
I can do anything for Chung Yi.
Will Chairwoman Ma forgive you?
I'll pay for what I did.
Stealing a painting can't be a bigger sin than killing people.
Also, Chung Yi is Jo Ji Hwan's daughter.
It won't be a problem.
You think so?
Sim Chung Yi and Ma Poong Do.
They could never be together to begin with.
What are you talking about?
Jo Ji Hwan wasn't Ma Sung Jae's close friend.
He is the enemy of Ma Poong Do's family.
What do you mean?
I'll think of this as the extra time we gained.
We definitely need more time to grow baekcheongcho.
I think it's great.
Yes, we can receive more feedbacks to keep this going.
Right, did your father say anything to you yesterday?
My dad? Why?
Oh, he called me this morning.
He had something to say about my father.
About your father?
Jo Ji Hwan is the one...
who stole the portrait and the seeds from Jubo Group.
We can say Chairwoman Ma was betrayed by him.
That's not all. When he got caught after living in a hiding,
he caused Ma Sung Jae's death as well.
You can't blame an innocent man like that.
He wasn't a man who would do that.
What do you know about him?
Make a wise choice.
The price you'll pay for opening Pandora's box will be pretty dire.
It won't end at making a confession that you stole the portrait.
You should think of your daughter...
and let her biological father's wrongdoings stay buried.
It would be great if you can stop the enemies...
from becoming a family by marriage.
Wouldn't it be great to live just as you did until this day?
Where have you been?
I always end up having to clean up after you.
I heard that your proposal was plagiarized.
Is this your idea of working?
There's someone on the inside. They took my material.
Doesn't Baek Si Joon seem kind of odd?
He pretends to take our side to reassure us...
only to plan something else behind our backs.
Stop getting suspicious of him and just do what he says.
We might lose the 100 million dollars.
This is what happened by humoring him.
If you are that unhappy, take the money you took and leave.
Why are you bringing that up now?
Are you scared...
that the money will get tracked down if you made a rash move?
Nothing is going right.
When I told you to stop the Goryeo project from happening,
you should have listened.
We ended up like this because you did nothing.
Don't worry.
I won't let Sim Chung Yi win against me.
I'll bring down Ma Poong Do no matter what I do.
You have more time in your hands now.
I saw a lot of great ideas.
We should try this and that.
Right? I want to stay positive.
I don't care if we win or what. I want to be freed...
- from this proposal. - Yes.
Everyone, stick around.
We'll make a new proposal until our next presentation.
What?
You're making a new proposal?
Why do you care?
Stop minding my business...
and look over that weed of yours, baekcheongcho or something.
Ms. Yeo, you should try running a twisted bread business.
You're so twisted with everything you say.
What?
Let's go, Ms. Sim.
It's wiser to avoid someone like her.
Ms. Yeo, I have a favor to ask you.
It's a product that a Chinese investor is looking for.
It's sold out everywhere because it's very popular.
But I heard there are a few left in this storage. Can you find them?
You should make employees of the Distribution Team do this.
If I ask someone in this office,
they'll say I'm overusing power as their investor.
So that's why I am asking you to do me a favor.
Stop getting suspicious of him and just do what he says.
We might lose the 100 million dollars.
Fine. I'll look for it.
I found it under your desk.
I've been looking for this. I'm glad you found it.
The man in the middle looks a lot like Poong Do.
Is he his father?
He is. My son, Ma Sung Jae.
And you could tell?
Yes.
Poong Do said he had a few friends.
I guess it's them.
They look very close.
Friends, my foot.
I still regret hiring these two...
to work for Jubo Group.
One of them destroyed my company...
and the other one killed my son.
I can never forgive them.
Oh, right.
I shouldn't have asked.
Forget about that.
I heard you are still troubled...
because of the kids.
They have a date of engagement. Give them your support.
Yes.
I want to ask you to take Poong Do in...
just as you took in Chung Yi.
He misses his father's love.
And I will be good to Chung Yi too.
Yes, Chairwoman.
Give this to Mr. Sim.
What is this? Are you getting something exchanged at the mall?
What's all this?
Why are you giving him hair dye products?
He's going to be our in-laws, so he should look great too.
His hair is so gray that he looks like your grandma's friend.
Even so, why are you giving these to him?
May is the Family Month.
You should look after your in-laws and your in-laws' cousins too.
Why are you so senseless?
Mom, what's with you?
Are you sure you are against their engagement?
Forget it. Don't tell him that I gave these to him.
I don't want him to get a wrong idea.
Then who do I say that these are from?
Tell me before you go!
Goodness.
Someone told me to give these to you.
Who?
There's this person. This weird lady.
Anyway, I'm done delivering. Goodbye.
Wait.
By any chance,
do you know something about a man named Jo Ji Hwan?
Jo Ji Hwan?
He's...
Oh, that guy. He's our mortal enemy.
Did Grandma tell you about him?
Goodness, does this mean he's really our family now?
What? Where's my phone?
What's going on?
Hey!
Is anyone out there?
The door is locked!
What is this?
What Seo Pil Doo said is true?
I wasn't the only problem.
Her real father is a stumbling block for them too.
- Dad! - Hey.
- You're home now? - Yes.
Right. You had something to tell Poong Do?
What is it?
Nothing.
The other day, he said he'd think of me as his dad.
I was just wondering what his dad was like.
Thank you, Dad. You're so nice to Poong Do.
Chung Yi.
What will happen to you two?
Did something good happen?
Yes. But something bad happened too.
Did you know Chung Yi is going to get engaged to Poong Do?
What? They're getting engaged?
They say friends can become the worst enemies.
I guess that's right.
You're jealous because Chung Yi is marrying someone from Jubo Group.
But there's nothing to be jealous of.
She's marrying the grandson,
but she'll be more like a maid.
It's not like she's especially pretty or competent.
She has a hard time at home because of you,
but everyone outside looks up to her.
What?
She's kind, pretty, and hardworking.
She's a thousand times better for Poong Do than Ji Na is.
She totally deserves him, okay?
Hey, Heon Jeong!
The person you have reached is not available.
In addition, "Portrait of a Beauty" was handed over to me...
by your daughter, Ji Na.
Seo Pil Doo, that jerk.
What is he going to do to Chung Yi and Ji Na?
Si Joon?
What happened?
The storage doors suddenly locked, so I couldn't get out.
And I don't know where my phone is.
You weren't picking up your phone, so I thought I should look here.
By the way, did you find the product I wanted?
What?
I couldn't find it anywhere.
I'm sorry.
I got it from a store that still had it.
Thank you anyway.
Si Joon, did you lock me up in there on purpose?
And you saved me afterwards?
Ji Na.
We need to talk.
You.
Did you tell Pil Doo I was keeping the painting...
when you handed it over to him?
Why?
Now that the truth is revealing, do you feel guilty?
Stay away from him. He's a scary person.
You're the scary one.
I'm not afraid of anyone.
As long as I can benefit from it,
I can join hands with someone even worse than Pil Doo.
Stop it right now!
Why are you doing this?
I'm just trying to get ahead.
Please don't get in my way.
What have you done for me so far?
I hate your incompetence...
more than Vice President Seo's evilness.
Seo Pil Doo met Dad?
Why?
(Vice President Seo Pil Doo)
Sim Hak Gyu seems to be getting anxious.
Why are you doing this?
Why are you tormenting my daughters?
If you want to protect your precious daughters, leave.
If you agree to do that,
I'll support you financially.
What if I don't listen to you?
Your daughters will get caught in a whirlwind.
They'll be smashed and shattered.
I've been covering up all Ji Na's wrongdoings so far.
Uncovering them would be no difficult job.
You jerk!
Does this make you feel better about being such a lousy dad?
Think about it.
Chung Yi and Ji Na's lives depend on you.
Be a good dad for once.
What's bothering you so much?
The baekcheongcho project is going well.
My engagement ceremony is coming up.
I want to give Poong Do and his family a meaningful gift.
But I can't think of anything.
That's no problem.
Do what you do best.
What I do best?
What's the matter?
Don't be surprised.
Jo Ji Hwan is alive.
What? Are you sure?
He is wanted by Interpol.
Interpol?
Yes. Since the accident in 1998,
he hasn't been seen anywhere in the country.
So I started looking abroad.
Was someone else in the car?
I'm not sure whether or not Jo Ji Hwan was in the car.
The deeper we dig, the more we find.
He's committed million-dollar painting frauds in the Philippines.
He's been wanted many times.
He fools rich people into buying fake paintings.
What was his nickname?
Mr. Jo?
Are you sure he is Jo Ji Hwan?
I can't find his full name,
but he is the right age, and he looks the same.
(Dragon King Shaman)
Did something happen?
Shouldn't I be asking you that?
I couldn't reach you all day.
What have you been doing until so late?
Nothing. It's a secret.
What brings you here?
I didn't get to see you at the office, so I thought I'd come by.
- I also have something to tell you. - Something to tell me?
Well, it's about researcher Jo Ji Hwan.
According to Ryan,
he's alive.
What? Really?
What's shocking is,
he is wanted by Interpol.
He's committed painting frauds in the Philippines.
Painting frauds?
I guess Grandma was right.
He...
must have betrayed my dad.
I can't believe it.
How could he...
Chung Yi's dad was...
such a mean person?
He's not that kind of man.
How can such a good-hearted man do that?
This is driving me insane.
Sim Hak Gyu.
What are you going to do?
Dad, are you still up?
Yes, I'm up.
Where's Mom?
Oh, something has gotten into her and she never stays home.
Anyway, why? You should go get some sleep.
What's this?
Hurry up and open it.
My engagement ceremony is coming up.
You should wear this on that day. I made it myself.
I wanted to make something for you.
Don't keep it around and wear it often.
I'll keep making them for you from now on.
Dad, I love the smell of paint on you.
Do you want me to make you this again?
Chung Yi.
Do you...
have to get...
engaged?
What?
What do you mean?
Poong Do and you should...
break up at this point.
Dad.
(Blessing of the Sea)
I heard Dad is against you two getting engaged.
That means no one wants you two to get engaged.
Do you really think you two can make it happen?
We should call the engagement off now.
I cannot approve of their relationship.
Who is he to be against this?
If anyone, I should be the one to be against this.
Sim Hak Gyu.
You made a wise choice for your daughters.
Please let us get engaged. I love Chung Yi very much.
I will not get up until you give me your approval.
I stole the "Portrait of a Beauty".
Your father, Sim Hak Gyu, is the portrait thief.
