(Reporter)
Jenny, what happened?
I'm waiting for you.
Can you at least contact me?
I don't have much time. Please come here as fast as you can.
I can't believe this.
It sounded like she was ready to come to see me at any moment.
Did Jenny pull a prank on me?
There's no way.
(Episode 7)
Thank you so much.
I'm sure it wasn't easy to give us a discount on the deposit.
My mom really likes you.
She was a complete stranger, but you bought her black bean noodles,
and you helped her turn off the burning stove.
Thank you for helping her.
I'll install a fire alarm for you...
when I move in.
- Thank you. - I'm the one who should thank you.
My sister and I will visit...
a day before our moving day to clean the place up.
Okay, sure.
- Bye, then. - Bye.
Really?
Did Song Ah really say she wants to start designing clothes again?
Yes, Grandpa.
She looked really bright and a lot more lively than before.
I'm so grateful to hear that.
Is her mother doing well?
Yes, they must be living together.
I heard she's getting better.
I see. You should continue to help her out.
Okay.
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
Please leave a message after the beep.
But this is so out of nowhere.
Do you think her mom's trying to trick you?
I guess Dong Joo was right.
I'm sure it wasn't Jenny.
Was it just her mom trying to put me through the trouble again?
Gosh, this is so upsetting. I can't just go home like this.
Let's see who can be more persistent.
What's going on?
What?
What's this?
Jenny, what are you doing?
What am I doing here, Mom?
Don't you remember?
You fainted on the street.
And I found you and brought you here.
Oh, right.
My bag... My cell phone...
You got pickpocketed.
You're in this state because of that.
I'm just grateful you didn't get hurt.
Mom, I have an appointment. I need to get going.
What? Go where?
It's going to take another hour for you to finish the IV injection.
I need to meet someone. She's probably waiting for me.
You've been here for over three hours now.
She would've left already.
I've been here for over three hours? Are you serious?
Call her.
She'll understand if you tell her that you got pickpocketed.
Who is it?
I don't know her number. It's in my cell phone.
Who is it? I'll see if I can find her number.
Well...
Reporter Lee Kyung In.
Lee Kyung In?
The freelancer reporter who kidnapped us this afternoon?
Well, I kind of felt sorry about what happened earlier.
And I kind of got a little curious.
Jenny, you must be crazy.
What were you even planning to do with her?
You know what? I think I should at least check if she's still there.
No.
Jenny, finish your IV injection.
I'll go instead.
- You? - I'm sure she won't be there.
But if it bothers you so much, I'll go check instead.
I don't think she would've left so easily.
Please do me a favor, Mom.
If you do get to meet her,
don't get angry at her like you did in the afternoon.
Okay.
Please tell her that I'm sorry.
Tell her that I really wanted to meet her.
Sure.
But promise me that you'll finish getting the injection.
Okay.
I asked her to meet me, so please don't get angry at her.
Okay, I won't.
I heard you were planning on meeting Jenny.
- Yes, where's Jenny? - She can't come.
She promised to meet me.
She called and asked me if we could meet.
She probably got a little excited...
after she arrived at an unfamiliar city.
She was excited, but she knew no one.
Then you disguised yourself as a man and stalked her,
so she probably felt sorry and curious at the same time.
So did you stop her from meeting me?
I'm sorry to say this, but Jenny is very sensitive and fickle.
Her mood changes dozens of times a day,
and she's very unpredictable.
She even once got treatment for her mood swings.
Are you trying to tell me that she ignored my calls...
and didn't show up here...
because she suddenly had a change of heart?
Once she changes her mind,
she doesn't care even if it's a very important appointment.
I don't believe that.
By any chance,
did you stop her from coming here?
Grandpa, did you just say "the Black Rose"?
I thought you had given up.
You're still looking for her?
What do you mean "still"?
I will never give up until I find her.
I won't be able to die before I do.
Grandpa.
I'm going to devote the rest of my life...
looking for that woman.
That's the only way I'll be able to face your parents...
in paradise after I die.
The cops told us that she's dead.
And there's no evidence that she's still alive.
There's no evidence that she's dead either.
I'm going to catch her no matter what.
She's probably living a brazen life right now...
by hiding all her past crimes.
I get furious just by thinking of that.
If your conviction is true,
we must find her and take off that mask of hers.
Yes.
Eun Seok, now that you're back,
will you help me out as well?
Okay.
I will, Grandpa.
First, you got slapped by me.
And now, you got fooled by Jenny. Are you upset because of that?
Is it your job to build a wall around Jenny...
and have full control over whom she does and doesn't...
get to meet?
What are you trying to gain by isolating Jenny...
from the entire world?
What?
Isolate her? Build a wall?
Reporters really love to write novels.
If you really want to make money by writing an article about Jenny...
Go ahead and use this.
Think of it as compensation for getting slapped and waiting.
No, thank you.
I don't want to copy and paste.
It's filled with up-to-date information about Jenny.
I'm only giving it to you.
Don't you want it?
(Jenny Han, Interview Q and A)
I guess Jenny's just a prisoner...
who's locked up in the cell that you made for her.
What?
The more you do this, the more it's provoking my curiosity for Jenny.
I wonder what you're trying to hide by keeping her so protected.
I told you to stop writing novels.
Okay, fine. Since you refuse to take my offer,
I'll make sure to destroy your career for good.
Let me tell you something. I'm a freelance reporter...
who barely makes 1,000 dollars a month.
I have nothing more to lose.
Do you really think you have nothing more to lose?
Yes. One day, I'm going to meet Jenny...
and interview her no matter what.
So you should look forward to that.
She's going to meet Jenny?
That will never happen.
How dare she act up? She should know whom she's up against.
What? Jenny's mother showed up instead?
Yes. If Jenny just had a change of heart,
that mean lady wouldn't have come to give me an excuse.
I wonder what happened.
Nothing happened. Jenny's just like her mother.
You got slapped in the morning and stood up at night.
They made you go through so much.
No, Dong Joo. Jenny would never do something like that.
Whatever.
If I ever meet Jenny or that mother of hers,
I'll make sure to teach them a lesson.
You just wait, Dong Joo. I'm going to meet Jenny,
interview her, and make sure her mother sees that.
A contract? Dong Joo, did you sign the contract?
Yes.
You really did sign the contract.
(Choi Song Ah, Lee Dong Joo)
"Choi Song Ah".
Is this the name of the house owner?
Yes.
Her name is as pretty as her face.
I just signed the contract as fast as I could.
I can't believe she gave us a discount on the deposit.
She's such a kind lady.
Are we really moving to that house?
Yes, we're moving this weekend.
The house is already empty, so we can go whenever.
Let's just move tomorrow.
Why bother? The weekend is only a few days away.
I want to go there as soon as possible.
I fell in love with that house...
the moment I laid eyes on it.
Okay, but we need to clean that place up,
and we have to find a decent moving company.
Okay. I should start packing.
I can't believe they asked her to come and didn't show up.
They're so mean.
(A Policeman Dies While Trying to Arrest the Black Rose)
(A policeman ended up dying while trying to catch the Black Rose.)
How could there not be a single photo of this brutal criminal?
No one knows her age or name.
The only clue I have is the fact that she's called the Black Rose.
This is absurd.
Did you meet her?
There was only one female customer who came by herself.
But apparently, she left 20 minutes after she came.
- Really? - It's actually a relief.
We both would've felt really sorry if she had been waiting until now.
I even slapped her earlier in the afternoon.
I was so thoughtless.
I asked her to come out, but she ended up getting stood up.
Did you finally realize that?
Every time you go against my word,
something bad happens.
You're right.
This is why I always nagged at you.
But you don't even seem to listen to me anymore.
I feel so upset, Jenny.
I'll be more careful from now on.
Yes, you should.
You're allowed to leave once you're done with the IV injection.
You apparently didn't get any additional injuries.
Okay.
Man Soo will be so worried...
if he finds out about this.
Goodness.
Would you like me to find out who the pickpocket is, sir?
No, don't bother.
How's Jenny? Is she okay?
- Yes, sir. - You should've helped her first.
Why did you lose her to Oh Eun Seok?
I never even imagined that he'd suddenly show up.
But what's even weirder...
is that President Wang showed up as soon as Oh Eun Seok helped her.
And you guys just stood there?
There were suddenly too many people.
Okay.
Make sure you don't get caught while you keep an eye on her.
Yes, sir.
Hey, I have a question.
Yes?
Can't you just write an article about all the things...
that Jenny and her mother put you through yesterday?
I also thought about doing that.
But I'd only be belittling Jenny.
It's not like you'd be making things up.
You waited for two hours, but you got stood up...
because she had a change of heart. That's a fact.
Her mom could've lied to me about that.
It's not something I checked.
You're really careful at times.
You don't get swayed by your emotions, and you're so careful.
Gosh, you really are an amazing reporter.
I'm touched that you think of me that way.
Ma Eum, it's time to go to school.
Okay, let's go, Dad.
Okay, let's go. I'll see you.
See you.
- Okay, see you guys. - Let's go.
I proudly told General Manager Han that I'll succeed.
Gosh, this is so embarrassing.
I wonder if I should quit...
being a freelance reporter who can't even earn one's keep...
and start looking for a proper job.
What's wrong? You should eat some more.
I had enough.
Did the police call regarding the pickpocket?
I'm sure they didn't catch him yet.
I'd be happy if I could at least find my cell phone.
I have so many important numbers saved in that phone.
Let's get you a new cell phone as soon as we arrive in Japan.
The more I think about it, the more I feel sorry toward that reporter.
Just forget about it already.
I should get some fresh air and get myself a cup of coffee.
Really? I'll go with you.
Where are you going? You didn't even eat.
Eun Seok got up early and had a light breakfast.
I need to go somewhere.
Where are you going so early in the morning?
You seem a bit too interested in me.
That... That's because...
I'm going to be your secretary from now on.
Secretary?
She says she wants to learn how to do business from you.
Of all the things she could do, she wants to be your secretary.
You're really lucky, Eun Seok.
Someone as competent as her...
volunteered to be your secretary.
I'll do my best to help you out, Eun Seok.
Thank you.
I'll be off now.
Where is he going so early in the morning?
I'm not sure.
I'll check his schedule in detail once I get to the office.
So don't worry.
That's my girl.
Jenny, you should go upstairs first.
I need to drop by the front desk.
Okay.
Ji Soo, don't you love the garden we saw earlier?
Let's take our wedding photos in the hotel garden.
- Okay. - The flowers were so pretty.
- Do you like this place? - Yes, I love it.
Okay, let's go.
Going down.
The doors are closing.
Jenny.
Who are you?
My name is Oh Eun Seok.
Oh Eun Seok?
Jenny! Jenny!
By any chance, did we meet in Japan?
Yes, we met on stage.
We also met at the record store.
You remember.
Yes, I do. It lasted a very short while,
but you were quite memorable. I suddenly got reminded of it.
Thank you.
Do you remember what happened yesterday?
Yesterday?
You got pickpocketed and ended up fainting on the street.
I'm the one who took you to the hospital.
What?
Didn't your mother tell you?
No, she never told me.
That means you saved me twice.
I guess so.
Thank you for saving my life twice.
Did you report the pickpocket to the police?
Of course.
Tell me if you need a witness.
It was a black motorcycle with no license plate,
and there were two men. One was big, and the other was small.
But of course, I only saw their backs.
I thought about chasing after them,
but I figured it was more urgent to help you.
I'm going to make sure I catch those pickpockets.
Thank you so much for even offering to be a witness.
By the way, what brings you here?
Why are you giving me this?
I'm the executive director of J Group.
I wanted to welcome your return to Korea.
I was going to leave it at the lobby.
I didn't know I'd get to see you in person.
Are you really the executive director of J Group?
Yes, I'll also be attending the meeting this afternoon.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Sit down.
I'm honored to meet you. I can't believe you called me.
Do you know a reporter named Lee Kyung In?
Yes... Yes, of course. I know her very well.
You got pickpocketed and ended up fainting on the street.
I'm the one who took you to the hospital.
What?
I didn't know about that.
I'm so sorry.
I thought we were getting kidnapped the moment we came to Seoul.
It's a relief that no one fainted.
That darn psycho.
She did tell me that she'll do whatever it takes...
to interview Jenny.
But I didn't know she'd do something so crazy.
I can't believe she disguised herself.
You're going to disguise yourself? Is that a popular method these days?
Okay, you can do things that are even worse.
Do whatever it takes.
I'll take care of all the legal issues.
Just make sure you get to interview her.
Okay.
I'm really sorry.
That's not how I taught her.
I want you to take measures.
How... How exactly?
What am I going to tell General Manager Han?
Can't you just write an article about all the things...
that Jenny and her mother put you through yesterday?
Should I just do that?
No, I should keep my morals as a reporter.
Although, it will cause a bit of a stir.
I should refrain from doing that if I want to meet...
and interview Jenny one day.
I'd like to file a lawsuit against her if I could.
Please don't do that, ma'am.
But we're a bit tight on schedule in Seoul.
Please do me a favor and forgive her just this once.
I want you to cast her out.
- Pardon? - End her career as a reporter.
Gosh, ma'am, that's...
If you do what I ask,
I'll let you write whatever article you'd like.
If necessary, I'll also let you meet Jenny.
Are... Are you serious?
But that's only under the condition that you make sure...
Lee Kyung In will never be able to work as a reporter again.
That's very easy. There's nothing hard about that.
She may be a freelance reporter,
but she only writes articles for our magazine.
If we neglect her, she'll be completely done for.
She never even made...
any decent money as a reporter anyway.
Gosh, I'm so angry.
After successfully interviewing Jenny,
I wanted to do a cover on how the dialect...
of Gangwon Province is slowly disappearing.
(General Manager Han)
Yes, sir.
Get over here right now!
Pardon?
(Executive Director, Oh Eun Seok)
Hello?
The chairman wishes to see you in his office.
Where are you?
I'm in front of your office, sir.
Really?
You really are in front of my office.
I'm sorry for being late to work.
I'm ready to do whatever you ask.
You may have come to work a little later than I did,
but it's nice to know that my cousin's the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper?
How did he know that I'm here to be the gatekeeper?
(Senior Managing Director, Oh Ae Ri)
Hey, Eun Ji.
Mom, Eun Seok just told me to be a good gatekeeper.
What's that supposed to mean?
Do you think there's a hidden message behind what he said?
What hidden message?
He probably just said that because you were right in front of the door.
By the way, Grandpa called him to his office just now.
It seemed like he went there to talk about something discreet.
Okay, great. This is what I'm talking about, Eun Ji.
Why do you think I'm here?
From now on, I'll immediately share Eun Seok's schedule with you.
This is war.
Let's do well.
You need to stay alert every time Eun Seok has a schedule...
with your grandpa, and always let me know right away.
Of course.
Good luck, Mom. I love you.
The best spy you can ever be is an industrial spy.
I wonder if I'm just that.
I'm too pretty to be a spy.
What kind of spy looks this pretty?
I can't believe he's already...
having secret meetings with Eun Seok.
Meanwhile, he's totally neglecting Young Man.
I can't let Eun Seok take what belongs to Young Man.
But why hasn't he even called yet?
Every day, with you
I'd like to see the morning sun
Goodness, my eyes.
Every day, with you
I'd like to wake up in the morning
Ae Young, when are you planning to get married?
You told me that you'll have everything ready.
Why haven't you picked out a wedding dress yet?
I even brought a new tuxedo.
Are you joking right now?
What? Am I joking?
Did my song sound like a joke to you?
Aren't you tired of marriage already?
I was tired of my old marriage, so I'm trying to marry someone else.
I got rid of my old shoes.
Now, it's time to jump around in my new shoes
That's how we were able to come this far.
I thought about it a little,
and I don't think I want to get married.
If I marry you,
it'll be my third marriage already.
What's wrong with that?
Popular women can't help but get married numerous times.
People even play three rounds of rock-paper-scissors.
What's the big deal about getting married three times?
Do you like doing things three times?
What?
So are you going to get married three times as well?
No, that's not what I meant.
I didn't know you were so old school.
Why would you call me old school all of a sudden?
I really don't think it's right to get married.
Let's just call it off.
What... What?
These are some urgent things that J Group needs to take care of.
Read it thoroughly and give me your thoughts on it.
Okay, Grandpa.
Young Man is not good enough for the job.
He's unaware of what he lacks, but he's incredibly greedy.
Your aunt's also desperate to keep you in check.
I know.
You need to stay alert...
and make sure you become the leader of the company.
Okay, Grandpa.
If you manage to do a good job,
I'm planning to step down from my position...
and focus all my energy on catching the Black Rose.
Okay.
What's this?
Oh Eun Seok, the executive director of J Group, dropped by.
Executive Director Oh Eun Seok?
He told me that he took me to the hospital yesterday.
Just leave her here!
No, I can't do that.
I can't wait for an ambulance when she might be severely injured.
Okay, then. I'll see you again.
He's the executive director of J Group?
He also saved me in Japan when that accident happened.
I only saw him for a short while when I was unconscious,
but I suddenly remembered as soon as he mentioned it.
Really?
I heard he also saved me yesterday.
Why didn't you tell me, Mom?
Things were so hectic, so I totally forgot.
I never expected him to be the executive director of J Group.
He even saw the pickpockets.
So he offered to be the witness.
I think we should tell the cops that we have a witness.
That's great.
Okay, Jenny. I'll tell them that.
We'll be seeing him at the company building later,
so you should ask him in detail.
Okay, sure.
Look at these flowers. Aren't they beautiful?
I should put it in my room.
(Shady Mom-in-law)
Let's just forget about today's negotiation.
Is that what Jenny wants as well?
I'm sorry.
If you press one, I'll answer. Please call me.
What's the deal with that guy named Oh Eun Seok?
Can you really promise me...
that you'll prevent Oh Eun Seok from approaching Jenny?
I'll take care of that, ma'am.
That guy you just saw... Do you know who he is?
I think my mom hired a bodyguard.
From now on, I'll be your bodyguard.
