However hard I think,
that's the only way to save the company.
Pardon? What do you mean?
The Goryeo project.
Give it a go.
"The Goryeo project"?
Did I just hear that right?
Poong Do.
Why are you bringing up that old and failed project?
This is our family's work that was handed down to me from my father.
You must drop your personal feelings.
It's just your personal desire.
I asked you to stop pushing your dream...
My gosh, it's like a deja-vu.
I told you about this before.
Poong Do, you should hear the chairwoman out at least.
Even if you and I don't do this, it has to be done by someone.
Do not belittle the hard work of many who tried to reveal...
the secret behind the "Portrait of a Beauty" for decades.
I'll consider this not heard.
You should focus on getting well.
Secretary Moon, the rumor got to you very quickly.
I was going to tell you myself.
Tell me. What's going on?
Ms. Yeo siphoned your slush fund to another place.
What?
"Siphoned"?
Gosh, that word makes me look weird.
Yeo Ji Na, what are you thinking?
You should be thankful.
I hid your slush fund safely.
I'll forget about this if you bring it back right now.
I can't do that.
Yeo Ji Na!
If you play any funny trick to try to take the money from me,
it will be handed right over to the prosecution.
And they'll find out about what you did to Chairwoman Ma.
You aren't in a position to be so confident.
Why? Jeong Moo Sim's case?
You already used that move on me.
We hold each other's weakness, so we're an equal now.
Your plan is to get rid of Poong Do, isn't it?
Wouldn't it be easier if you have one more person on your side?
Call me when my position is ready.
She can't have done it on her own.
Find out how she hid the money.
Yes, sir.
Secretary Moon.
I have a question.
How did you get rid of Baek Si Joon?
I should know so that I can deal with Sim Chung Yi in advance.
Right?
Poong Do.
I don't like it. I don't like the idea.
Must you be like this?
I know you're trying to recover your memory.
I also know the Goryeo project will help.
I'm really sorry about that, but...
It is about recovering my memory,
but it's also a process you must go through.
You can't let the fear control you forever...
which was created by Seo Pil Doo.
Think about it.
Grandma could be using us to satisfy her greed.
That's not what she intends.
Do you still not get her at all?
We're fighting again because of the portrait.
What is this?
When we don't have enough time to smile.
Poong Do.
Let's stop.
To convince the shareholders at the temporary meeting,
it's best to focus on the launch of a new brand we're working on.
That stands a better chance of success.
We got a good response at the press conference.
- Hello, sir. - Is something wrong?
The companies we signed with to help the launch of a new brand...
are all backing out of the contract.
I don't get it.
The environmentally-friendly companies we signed an MOU with...
all want to cancel the deal to do research for us.
Can they back out of a deal just like that?
They'll have to pay the penalty.
They'd rather pay the penalty than work with Jubo Group.
Sir, something smells fishy.
How could we be attacked on every side like this?
It's like they're waiting for us to go bankrupt.
I found out that it was all Seo Pil Doo's doing.
I'm not even surprised anymore.
He's meeting the shareholders...
and asking them to vote with him to have you dismissed.
Poong Do. What if you get dismissed with nothing?
I won't go without a fight. Don't worry.
Where's Chung Yi?
You two were attached at the hip.
She went to the Development Institute to see Manager Ko.
Because of Bok Nam?
She told me to keep it secret.
You didn't hear what I just said.
I know already.
She asked Manager Ko to analyze Bok Nam.
How do you feel about the Goryeo project?
The Goryeo project?
It's the core of Jubo Group.
The roots?
"The roots"?
It's been giving me a headache.
(Files on Bok Nam)
He lives up to his name.
We made a dye with compounds extracted from its stem and leaves.
It was a closer match than anything we had so far.
If it was a close match, then it's not identical.
For decades, we had no idea what plant extract it was.
This is a huge result.
If Bok Nam really is the plant from which the blue paint is made,
that makes you the second person...
to succeed in growing it.
The first person is Jo Ji Hwan, right?
Don't mention that name here.
Why not? He succeeded in growing this plant.
The portrait's curse originated from him.
I don't know the details,
but don't you mention that name around Chairwoman Ma.
That would be bad.
You find out how Bok Nam grew so fast.
Once we know that,
the Goryeo project will take a step forward.
Then we can convince the shareholders.
Okay. I'll do that.
We should give up on the new brand?
We have the "Portrait of a Beauty".
Seo Pil Doo tried to put a stop to the Goryeo project...
and ended up killing your father.
Don't talk about that.
It's hard, but you should listen.
Seo Pil Doo will strongly believe...
you won't consider the Goryeo project again.
Because he knows...
how much pain just the mention of it causes you.
I told you to stop. Must you be so stubborn too?
I want you to give the project a go and succeed...
right in Seo Pil Doo's face.
Manager Ko made a blue dye from Bok Nam's leaves.
It's the closest match we got so far.
We're getting closer to the portrait's secret.
What is that portrait?
It's just an old painting.
Have you even looked at the beauty of the "Portrait of a Beauty"?
Look at it closely and think about it.
He jumped into a river during the chase.
We haven't found his body yet.
After all you did, you died just like that.
Baek Si Joon.
Don't blame me but watch from where you are.
How I get back on the top after how you saved my life.
Watch me.
Ji Na.
What is it now?
You should answer your phone.
Do you know how worried I get when you don't pick up?
Why pick up when you'll only nag?
Why is that nagging?
I say what you need to hear.
Were you drinking?
Why are you acting so miserable?
Why are you here?
The Chairwoman Ma who was on the news.
She stayed with us until a while ago.
What was she doing in Yongwang-ri?
Are you sure?
Don't you know how good my eyesight is?
That explains why Chung Yi took so good care of her.
She knew the woman was the chairwoman.
The sly thing.
Chairwoman Ma approached Chung Yi first?
You've been coming home late.
Is it because of the trouble Jubo's in?
Yes. You saw it on the news?
I also saw Chairwoman Ma Yeong In's photo on TV.
I know her.
Yes. You do.
How could the aunt who stayed with us be the chairwoman?
- Dad. - Wait.
Did you know all along?
Not at first. I found out later on.
I couldn't tell because of a few circumstances.
Why does that family have so many circumstances?
Sorry for not telling you.
I had to keep it a secret for her sake.
I heard the investigation on her was halted.
Is she very sick?
She's being treated at a hospital.
Ma Poong Do must be very concerned.
He is.
My gosh.
I'll go home now, Grandma.
The caregiver will be here soon.
A student should be busy.
Don't come by anymore. It's just a hassle.
You always say what you don't mean.
Mom?
You stink. Did you have a drink?
Yes. I had a drink in a long while.
My dear daughter Oh Gwi Nyeo.
Mom, you can't do this at the hospital.
I'll go get some medicine to help you sober up. Wait here.
You're so much trouble!
Just go. You reek of alcohol.
It's all your fault.
You let that jerk, Seo Pil Doo, come live with us.
That's why all this happened.
You can't even protect your children. Look at this mess.
I will protect my daughter, Gwi Nyeo, with my own hands.
I won't ignore her as you ignored me.
Since when did you care so much about Gwi Nyeo?
I won't let Gwi Nyeo end up like me.
She'll never have to know what a betrayal feels like.
Because a betrayal can really break your heart.
Betrayal. It's a betrayal.
Goodness. You fool.
Have you even looked at the beauty of the "Portrait of a Beauty"?
Look at it closely and think about it.
If you look at the skirt,
it's blue, just like the color of the sky or the sea.
I'm so sick of you.
What is this ill-fated relationship? Why do you torture me so much?
Hey, lady.
Who are you?
Isn't it time that you let me go?
Hey, what brings you here so early?
Someone sent me telepathy saying that she misses me.
Who?
- Wait, are you talking about me? - I know you like it.
Look at you. You're smiling.
Even your face turned red.
My face has always been red. My gosh.
Do not follow me. Let's go our own way to get to work.
One second.
I came to go somewhere with you before we get to work.
Why are we at a columbarium?
It's my dad. Say hi to him.
(The late Ma Sung Jae)
Your dad?
Hello, my name is Sim Chung Yi.
Gosh, that was such your way of greeting him.
Why did we suddenly come to see him?
Is today a special day?
Well.
It could be special if we say it's significant.
Whenever I came here,
I always complained to my dad.
"Why did we go there to look for the portrait..."
"instead of going to France directly?"
"My life has been awful ever since then because of you."
Poong Do.
Don't be so sad.
I'm here to tell him something else today.
(The late Ma Sung Jae)
I'm sure...
he'll be happy too.
What is it?
As you said, I stared at the portrait and thought about it.
And I think I could understand why people obsess...
over the "Portrait of a Beauty".
Poong Do.
- That means... - Yes.
Let's give the Goryeo project our best efforts.
I wouldn't dream of doing it alone,
but now I have you.
I can do everything if you're here as my eyes.
Thank you, Poong Do. For making such a tough decision.
I have too much pride...
to kneel down before someone like Seo Pil Doo.
I really wanted to tell my dad...
with you here.
Thanks, Chung Yi.
(Vice President Seo Pil Doo)
What is Ma Poong Do up to?
Contracts with fabric factories in Korea were all terminated,
so he's looking for a factory overseas.
And he has been contacting each of the shareholders.
No matter how much he tries, it won't be easy to resolve this.
It's not easy to win the shareholders back.
What about Yeo Ji Na?
I cannot get a hold of Attorney Han for days.
It seems like he's in league with Yeo Ji Na.
I was in a hurry that I ended up setting the fox to keep the geese.
What should I do, sir?
We each have a weapon that can kill one another.
So she won't do anything harmful.
Keep your eyes on her.
I'll find the perfect timing to take what she has in her hands.
Yes, sir.
Most shareholders are against the Goryeo project,
so it won't be easy to persuade them.
First, let's tell them how valuable the "Portrait of a Beauty" is.
The portrait has been devalued very much because of Seo Pil Doo.
That's true.
I think...
we should make the entire country interested in this portrait.
"Make the entire country interested"?
Our shareholders will side with whatever will bring more money.
Oh, there is a way.
Hey, Jean. Bonjour.
Baek Si Joon?
Yeol Mae.
Why are you crying?
Yeol Mae. Jeong Yeol Mae!
Baek Si Joon! Si Joon!
Yeol Mae!
Jeong Yeol Mae!
Yeol Mae!
That was awful.
Did something happen to that girl?
You're going to go on a business trip yourself?
It won't be easy.
I'll go out there to find the fabric for our new brand...
and sign the contract with a factory too.
Don't slack off while I'm not around.
And let's do a get-together once I return.
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
Ma Poong Do.
(Vice President Seo Pil Doo)
You're doing so much in vain.
But sir, there is something more urgent.
While you were under investigation,
someone bought up Jubo's shares when the prices are low.
HR Corporation?
What company is that?
It's a new investment company.
In the last few years, with a huge fund,
it managed quite a few...
large-scale projects overseas and in Korea.
The most recent one was the YK and Minos Electronics merger.
I confirmed they amassed a huge profit from it.
Other than the shares this new investment company owns,
I have more than Poong Do, is that it?
Yes.
Contact them.
(Real-time price changes)
(Stock Investment information)
(Ma Yeong In's Foundation Slush Fund)
(Vice President Seo Pil Doo Cleared of Embezzlement)
Jubo Group's a mess.
Chung Yi would have no time to worry about Si Joon.
We have a group coming in an hour.
If you have time for that, you should work.
Okay.
Will you sleep at Si Joon's again tonight?
Why don't you just come home?
We're drifting apart and it's affecting Tae Yang.
I'm still dealing with my mind. I need time to think.
Okay. I won't push you.
He has no right to slouch after what he did.
It just bothers me.
Gosh.
Why did I even come here? I was out of my mind.
Yeol Mae, are you going to get snacks?
Will you go to the store?
Will you answer?
Oh, right. Sorry.
If Si Joon's dead, who's looking after her?
Is Chung Yi looking after her here?
I don't like that.
Why are you sneaking around?
I came to see Mom. Why?
Then call her to meet you somewhere.
Why are you sneaking around?
I will call her now.
Why am I reporting to you?
Oh, right.
I heard chairwoman Ma stayed here.
You're really brazen.
You know Dad stole her precious portrait.
How could you let her stay in the same house as Dad?
Does Poong Do know about this?
Not that again.
I told you already that I don't believe you.
You want to slander Dad and tear me and Poong Do apart.
Give up. It's just ugly.
- What? - What's this noise?
What...
Great. Ask Dad yourself.
Ask if he stole the "Portrait of a Beauty".
Don't say that without any proof.
Just ask him, he's right here.
The truth is, Chung Yi...
This portrait is a really important issue to me.
If there's anything you know, tell me.
It might help me learn about my birth parents.
Your birth parents?
The seeds I had...
could've been used to create the blue dye in the painting.
That means...
the portrait has something to do with my birth parents.
That's right.
You're right.
But...
if you knew about that,
you wouldn't have lied to me for 20 years.
Right?
The "Portrait of a Beauty"...
I didn't steal it.
How could I? Ji Na's mistaken.
How could I steal a painting I know nothing about?
I worried for nothing.
Thanks, Dad.
And I'm sorry. I won't suspect you again.
I wish you luck on finding your birth parents.
It'll all work out.
Goodnight.
I just have to...
find out...
whose watch it is...
and who her parents are.
Then I'll tell her everything.
And then...
I will willingly pay for my sin.
(Jubo Hospital)
Jean Mornier, a famous art appraiser...
from the Shangzel Museum in France...
visited Korea.
He appraised Jubo Group's "Portrait of a Beauty",
causing a fuss in the art community.
The painting is well-preserved,
so it's said its value will be well above...
that of China's "Portrait of a Beauty" that was recently auctioned.
Industry insiders say the "Portrait of a Beauty"...
from Goryeo will be worth up to 50 million dollars.
The blue paint used to color the dress...
is one of a kind that is still being researched.
If the paint can be recreated and reproduced, the value...
What do you think? Are you pleased?
Poong Do's not stupid after all.
("Portrait of a Beauty" Worth Over 50 Million Dollars)
Ma Poong Do.
When did he do this without my knowing?
I think the launch of a new brand was just a cover.
Are you here to tell me what you thought of the broadcast?
The Goryeo project?
I see you brought up the moldy old painting again.
Did the grandmother's obsession transfer to the grandson?
Don't be mistaken.
It has nothing to do with Grandma.
Then are you dreaming of starting...
a grand new business with an old painting?
I know very well what you fear.
The truth that will come out when the portrait becomes a focus.
My dad who disappeared with the painting.
The reason research was suddenly halted.
You were behind all that.
You fear that truth.
I'll make the Goryeo project a success.
And I'll reveal the true ugliness you hid behind the portrait.
Look forward to it.
Very well.
I'll look forward to it.
(Blessings of the Sea)
The key is a fledgling company called HR Corporation.
They recently bought up a huge amount of Jubo shares.
I reached HR Corporation. There's no reply yet.
I believe Chairman Ma Poong Do is late.
If you don't mind, may we have a chat?
I'm sorry for the trouble, sir. I'm Sim Chung Yi from Jubo Group.
Time is golden to people like us. You lack basic manners.
I guess it is the end of the Ma family's hereditary management.
Hello.
I'm Baek Si Joon from HR Corporation.
It's nice to meet you.
