(Episode 34)
Did you...
just say "Chairwoman"?
Hey, well...
Yes.
Let me introduce myself formally.
I am Ma Yeong In, the chairwoman of Jubo Group.
What's going on, Chairman Seo?
I mean, Vice President Seo?
Does he mean that he will take the position as the chairman?
My goodness.
Could you give us some privacy?
Let's sit down and talk.
That was a fiery response.
I didn't know you would come to such a decision.
I gave this a lot of thought.
What was my grandmother thinking, when she gave me...
the shares of the company and the power of attorney...
which I can really care less about?
She has a retainer who worked for her his entire life...
and a daughter who lives with her.
Why did she leave her grandson...
who lived outside for the most of his life and who doesn't have...
all of his memories, with such a big burden?
My conclusion is that she couldn't trust anyone.
Neither her retainer nor her daughter.
She thought putting a guy like me in charge would be safer.
For me, that is very disappointing to hear.
Don't read too much into it.
She must've thought...
I would take this burden only if she goes missing.
She will return once she sees me take the chairman's position.
You can complain to her once she returns, Mr. Seo.
A chairman's job is not that easy.
I'm worried because you are bound to go through so much.
Goodness, what are you talking about?
How can you be...
No way.
Then...
why did you lie to me, saying you were Ms. Ko's aunt?
At first, I heard you made a scene in front of my company...
insisting that the "Portrait of a Beauty" is a fake.
I wanted to hear what you were thinking.
"Look, I can make 10 and 20 copies of this."
"How can this be a painting from the Goryeo era?"
"This painting is a fake." That's what I wanted to say.
A fake? What kind of complete nonsense is that?
No, it definitely looked fake in my eyes.
What's so great about your eyes?
After Poong Do's hit-and-run accident,
I felt like something was off.
Then I heard you were jailed because of me.
I wanted to find out what was behind that too.
But I couldn't disclose my real name.
That's why I had to lie.
You are the one...
who helped me get released, aren't you?
That means...
you know who the real culprit is.
Are you talking about Seo Pil Doo?
Yes.
Both Ma Poong Do's accident and your incident were...
all designed by him.
I want to ask you to do me a favor...
related to him too.
Get into Jubo Group.
Get in there...
and protect Poong Do.
There better be a good reason...
you left me in this lion's den.
Chairwoman Ma Yeong In.
What happened?
Poong Do wants to be chairman?
How could something this annoying even happen?
News travels fast.
Don't look down on me. I have sources too.
See?
This was Mom's big picture.
She disappeared from the scene...
to make her grandson chairman.
That cunning old hag.
Since it came to this, let's forget about Mom.
Shouldn't we drag Poong Do down first?
As soon as Poong Do solidifies his position,
I bet that's when she's planning to appear.
Her power of attorney's valid,
so we can't stop Poong Do.
That's why I'm so worried.
I wouldn't be if he had some business training.
My point exactly. All he did was play the piano.
He can't do anything.
Do you have any ideas?
You can't just let him take over.
What can I do?
I just work for your family...
and you're Poong Do's aunt.
Then what? Are you saying you'll help him?
He's capable of...
chopping our heads off later on.
See how he pretended to not care about the company?
What if the amnesia is a show too?
The board of directors and executives will retaliate.
They'll demand he prove his worth.
Right. Make that a huge issue.
Hold a hearing if you have to.
That old hag...
will show up once we drag Poong Do down.
Let's wait until then.
Hey, how can you refuse just like that?
Think about it.
It's a full-time job.
What's wrong is wrong.
I wanted to meet the chairwoman...
to warn her about Seo Pil Doo, that she should fire him.
That was all.
And it all happened.
Why should I protect Poong Do when he has a grandma?
I'm saying this because there's a reason.
First of all, Poong Do doesn't trust me.
He thinks I'm a shameless person who will sell anything for money.
Anyway, I bet he'll refuse your offer too.
How do you know that?
What I mean is, you'll find a way once you get to it.
There's one more reason, my biggest one.
I hate Jubo Group.
My dad and I.
We didn't have much,
but we were honest and had nothing to hide or fear.
But you belittled us.
As if the poor have no conscience,
and as if only the rich have integrity.
That's how you trampled all over us.
That's why I can't work there.
I apologize for that.
You should. You owe me an apology.
- Manager Ko. - Yes?
Me?
I really didn't think you'd dupe me too.
You can look after your aunt now.
Bye.
Hey, Chung Yi.
What now?
- Chung Yi. - Dad.
Why are you so crestfallen?
Stand up straight.
Is the manager's aunt at home?
I brought soondae.
My mom used to love Byeongcheon soondae.
I wonder if they have the same taste.
She left.
She won't come back, so don't ask.
She didn't say goodbye?
Let's go inside.
(Dragon King Shaman)
What's up with her?
Thank you, Dragon King
Thank you, my Dragon King
I'm so grateful.
Are you being electrocuted?
Read this. I'm dancing for a reason.
"Ma Poong Do to take over as Jubo Group's new chairman"?
That pianist?
Yes.
Once Ji Na marries this guy,
our lives will change overnight.
Would that last?
She pretended to save his life to date him.
What?
I've been in love too.
Deceiving someone just to date them...
won't last forever.
Don't you know that lies can't beat the truth?
You talk as if you know about love.
Look at us two.
Growing accustomed to each other beats everything else.
You know what Ji Na's like.
She'll snatch the prince and his riches too,
so don't you say anything to jinx her.
Sim Chung Yi, watch yourself too!
How dare you yell at her?
We have to up the ante if we're to prove...
his incompetence.
We need a mission that Poong Do will never succeed at.
Any ideas?
Why not give him a task that's impossible from the start?
For example, the missing "Portrait of a Beauty".
Did you find the cleaning lady?
You said you saw Ji Na back then.
Where was that?
That was when Mom had kicked me out because...
I was pregnant with Tae Yang.
It was a noodle place in Namyangju.
Yes. A woman just as heavily pregnant as me...
was eating in a hurry and spilled her food.
I wondered if it was Ji Na,
but I went into labor and we didn't get to check.
After we had Tae Yang,
we both had to make ends meet.
And we never imagined that Ji Na...
would be single and pregnant.
That's right. After you told us what you knew,
she did suddenly come to mind.
But to be honest, I was afraid that it might not be her.
Aunt says she's pretty sure though.
Do you remember where that restaurant was?
It's location or name?
That was...
It was nine years ago.
Tell me if you remember anything.
Nine years ago?
Gosh, so many people came and went.
I can't tell just from this photo.
She was heavily pregnant.
Think carefully.
She has a small build and isn't tall.
She wore a cap.
Do you have security footage?
From nine years ago?
Is she the newlywed woman who lived in the gosiwon?
I remember someone who was heavily pregnant.
There was a lady who'd put things on a tab...
and would come by for noodles.
I felt sorry for her because she was so huge,
and gave her food for free a few times.
(Cheongho Gosiwon)
She signed to stay for three months.
Yeo Ji Na. That's right.
She left before the contract ended.
Hello, director.
I thought you'd be low on kimchi by now.
I was going to call you.
Yeol Mae? She's doing just fine.
Okay. I'll make fresh kimchi and come over.
I'm sure the kids are sick of eating old kimchi too.
Sure.
- Was that Somang Orphanage? - Yes.
Goodness.
You two are so adorable.
My little puppies.
Goodness, you must be really determined.
You completely changed your style too.
You always acted like a snobby artist.
I can't believe you accepted it immediately.
I understand that you are deeply disappointed.
But even if I didn't do this,
you probably wouldn't have gotten a chance anyway.
What?
You...
You always end up losing, but you always have to poke around.
Congratulations, Poong Do.
Hello.
I can't believe this.
Did you bring flowers to celebrate?
You should go upstairs. Poong Do just came home too.
Okay, then.
What?
Something is weird.
Why did Poong Do suddenly accept the chairman's position?
Are you still angry?
Just give up already.
Like Poong Do said,
I doubt that you'll get a chance.
- You little brat. - Come on, Mom.
I'm sure Ji Na is controlling him.
Control him?
She must be whispering things into his mind.
Ji Na is completely controlling that stupid Poong Do.
I need to look more into her background.
She says her family is wealthy in the US,
but she doesn't look like it.
You don't look rich either.
Hey, why do you have to be so uncooperative?
You'll only get headaches if you become a chairwoman.
If you were that ambitious,
why didn't you look after your gallery before?
Quiet.
So where does she live right now?
I don't know. Actually, she comes here every day,
but we don't know where she lives.
You look great with short hair too.
Ta-da.
Congratulations, Poong Do.
Oh, should I call you Chairman Ma now?
I don't think this is a time to do this.
I'm just thanking you as an employee of Jubo Group...
for making a tough decision.
Why didn't you tell me anything?
You didn't say anything yesterday either.
Things just happened. I had too much on my mind.
I'll become your eyes and ears to help you out by your side.
And I'll make sure no one finds out...
about your color blindness, so don't worry.
If a chairman of a fashion company is color blind,
people will try to use that to bring you down.
Hey.
Can you give me your parents' number in the US?
Why do you suddenly need that?
How dare you talk back at me?
Just give it to me.
My parents do not give out their number to just anyone.
Am I just anyone?
Don't you know that I'm the most powerful in this family right now?
That's odd.
I know some people who run businesses in the US.
I did a lot of digging, but found nothing about your parents.
I'm sorry if this sounds too rude,
but I am quite offended because this sounds like a background check.
That's enough, Jae Ran.
Ji Na.
I need to see you in the study.
What's going on?
She's odd.
I don't think Poong Do is interested in the chairman's position.
It seems like she's making him do this.
I'll talk to her. You should stay out of this.
You should go out and get some air with Gwi Nyeo.
You didn't you about Poong Do's decision?
How could I know something that you didn't even know?
I told you.
He doesn't really show me what he's really thinking.
There's no time for you to be so thrilled.
Poong Do is regaining his memories...
and I hold your weaknesses.
What do you want from me?
You have to be specific. I don't get what you're saying.
If you want Ma Poong Do for yourself,
bring him down from his chairman's position.
I'm telling you to choose happiness instead of fame.
Why can't I have both?
What?
Never mind. I understand what you mean.
I will think about what I can do.
Seo Pil Doo.
Even if Poong Do finds his memories again,
I'm going to use you to survive from that too.
Forget about it. Forget it.
My goodness.
Your call cannot be forwarded. Please leave a message...
Is something going on?
This isn't Hapjeong-dong.
Goodness, Hapjeong-dong? Why do you want to go there?
- Goodness. - What's with you?
Are you drunk or what?
Goodness, where did you find this trouble?
I am probably going to die early...
because of this Hapjeong-dong lady.
What? Hapjeong-dong what?
What's going on?
Hey, where is the chair...
I mean, your aunt?
No idea.
How would I know what that old woman is doing?
She shouldn't fall asleep in the office...
on a day like this. She'd get sick.
Hey, you can't throw up here.
Is this house cursed?
What's with this place?
Mr. Sim, can you help me?
Honey, where are the leftover sweet potatoes?
Chung Yi?
Are they gone?
What? I caught you.
You aren't drunk, are you? It's nothing but a show, isn't it?
My goodness, what's with you?
You just got discharged from the hospital.
It's not like you don't have money.
You can go anywhere you want, somewhere comfortable!
There's nowhere else more comfortable than your room.
Stop trying to make me feel bad.
Why are you looking at me with such sad eyes?
I'm not going to go into Jubo Group. I can't do that.
If you don't like how you have to do this for Poong Do,
then do this for your own sake.
How is that for my sake?
I know what your dream is.
What's my dream?
I figured it right away after taking one look around your room.
You really don't know?
Why didn't you show up at our contest before?
I waited for you.
I wanted to use...
your drawing as a pattern for our clothing.
You remembered...
my drawing?
You can't make your talent go to waste.
You can finally live your dream.
And if you can help Poong Do while you're at it, even better.
You can do it, right?
I'm sorry.
Dad told me to stay away from Jubo Group.
I should do as he says this time.
What?
Don't stay here. Go to a sauna or something.
Manager Ko will be back.
She's incredibly stubborn.
My first priority is...
to pay off our family's debt so they can be happy.
And yours?
Is your happiness a part of that as well?
My happiness?
(Jubo Group)
Chairwoman Ma had...
no solutions for the sales drop last year.
Do you have any plans?
I read up on Jubo's performance over the last five years...
and decided that we can't survive with the existing lines alone.
So I plan to create a new brand...
and hope to launch it later this year.
A new brand?
- Isn't it too early? - A new product line?
At a time like this?
Of course, we'll require a lot of discussion.
Our new chairman is very decisive and driven,
and I think you all got to see that.
Instead of writing about your concerns for Jubo,
how about you write about...
a hopeful future to wish us well?
- Sure. - Oh, there's one more thing.
I have some joyful news.
To coincide with Chairman Ma's inauguration,
we will revitalize...
our long-term Goryeo project.
I hope you show a lot of support and interest in that as well.
("Is the New Chairman Ambitious? Or Puffed Up with Conceit?")
Poong Do, what are you doing?
You suddenly want another go at the Goryeo project?
You never mentioned that.
It was your grandmother's wish.
She said that if you were ever to join the company,
she'd like to give that another go.
And you announced that to the press without running it by me?
It was the best possible setting to make it known.
I'm sorry if you were flustered.
You didn't discuss the new brand idea...
with me first either.
Aren't I the chairman?
If the chairman wishes to make a business decision,
it's not like he needs the vice president's permission.
You needn't take it so seriously.
I just wanted to show that I'm thinking hard for this company.
By the way, where's the "Portrait of a Beauty"?
Wasn't it on that wall?
I sent it to the gallery to have its glass frame refitted.
Did you?
Why are you coming out from there?
Where's the chairwoman?
You didn't bring her here?
My prank failed.
Ma'am. Ma'am.
I told you not to sleep here.
Are you all right? Are you okay?
Do you know I have lung cancer or not?
I shouldn't be sleeping in a place like this.
Don't you know that? You must watch the news.
Are you trying to make me feel bad...
for making you sleep here?
I don't feel bad at all.
I can't do as you ask.
I'm asking as a grandmother, not as Jubo's chairwoman,
that you look after my grandson.
You're a tetrachromat and...
can distinguish colors better than most.
I like and value you for that trait,
but I trust how you believe in people and...
want to care for others.
Look at you.
You came back after acting like you never would.
You know you're sly, don't you?
Why restart the Goryeo project?
And right after you take over too?
That's just his spirit.
Can't you be more understanding and give him your support?
What if you end up...
running the company into the ground?
Vice President Seo, what do you say about that?
What shocking news do we have now?
The "Portrait of a Beauty" has disappeared.
What? It's gone?
Is the Goryeo project doomed before it even started?
(Jubo Group)
(Blessing of the Sea)
I'm Sim Chung Yi, your new secretary.
My secretary?
Who hired you as my secretary?
A secretary? Have you lost your mind?
If you have time, go work.
- I'm busy and must go. - Sim Chung Yi.
She's really gone insane.
I'm asking what you did with the baby!
I don't know!
My baby that you gave up.
I'll go to the end of the earth to find that baby.
Aren't you the witch who attacked my mom?
How did you get in?
Rise and shine. It's the start of a day full of work to do.
Hey. Are you a stalker?
