(Episode 69)
Sorry for the late introduction.
It's Ms. Ko Yo Jeong, who will work on the Goryeo project...
with me as of today.
Sim Chung Yi. Who do you think you are?
I'm the team leader of Research and Development team.
It may be disturbing to work with each other in one room,
but it could also bring positive results.
I'd like to thank you all in advance.
I sense some positive energy here.
I'll take this spot, Ms. Sim.
Hey, something strange happened.
I'm busy right now.
If you'll talk nonsense, leave the coffee here and go.
I saw someone looking exactly like the Hapjeong-dong lady,
but it wasn't her.
Right, she wouldn't be like that.
Is she a doppelganger?
What on earth are you on about?
The doppelganger.
At first, I didn't recognize her either.
This is nothing.
I could have knocked you over with a proper makeover.
I almost hit on you.
You look younger than Chung Yi.
Hey, that's an exaggeration.
It's just because she's not into dressing up.
If she did, she would have saved the world with her beauty.
Mr. Chairman.
What I'm saying is...
Well, we should start analyzing the mineral water from Mount Yongwang.
I've already asked it to be done.
With Manager Ko on board, we've become a perfect team.
Let's make sure to pull off this project.
Sure.
What? Why are you not commenting on me at all?
Am I not on your team?
I thought you were going to pour your all in coffee.
That just hurt me.
You could give me a minor role at least.
All right.
Ryan, you can be a minor member on our team.
My goodness.
Sim Chung Yi set up a new team in the same office.
She's even brought a woman...
from Yongwang-ri named Ko or something.
I guess they're trying to stand up against us now,
but all they are is just a bunch of amateurs.
As we have the experienced staff on our side,
they must be desperate to match the headcount at least.
What's more important is to dig into HR Corporation.
We must find out the connection between them and Baek Si Joon.
It doesn't matter whatever it is.
What matters is the 100-million-dollar investment.
What we should focus on now is how we'll secure the funds.
I met the president of HR Corporation.
He talked like he'd side with us,
but he sent Baek Si Joon to stab us in the back.
Something feels iffy. We need a backup plan.
That I will decide.
Don't let your personal feelings toward Baek Si Joon ruin things.
It's been a long time, Manager Ko.
Greeting's not needed.
Seeing how you reinstated someone who was demoted...
for leaking confidential information,
I can sense how desperate you are.
Well.
I'm not as desperate as someone who appointed a fired staff...
back as team leader.
I'm only advising you not to exert yourself...
because of the investment offer.
It breaks my heart to watch three generations of your family...
go through trouble for the Goryeo project.
Investment will naturally follow if the work is done properly.
Don't get so tense and relax.
All of you seem very busy from so early in the morning.
Are you still skeptical about the investment?
The 100 million dollars will become mine.
Why?
Because I'm better than Seo Pil Doo.
There's something my grandma said until my ears bled.
"If you're going to spend, spend properly."
"Giving money to one who doesn't know the value..."
"is the same as giving them paper."
Didn't I tell you that my job is to pull off the Goryeo project?
Whether or not you invest in that is up to you.
You're very confident.
Anyway, since we decided to invest 100 million,
we can't just sit by while things happen.
I need to know how both projects develop.
From inside the company, if possible.
What could the busy Ms. Sim have to say?
The only thing you could think of doing...
was to poach my smart teammates?
Why not?
I took Jubo employees to work on a Jubo project.
Try as you might, you won't get your way.
Don't you get in the way of me or Manager Ko.
Or I'll expose how you broke up the TF Team.
You do your own job.
Don't get in my way yourself!
Excuse us.
What are you doing?
Hey!
I asked them to clear the office.
Baek Si Joon.
May I ask that you address me properly, Ms. Yeo?
What are you doing?
Who says you can take over my office?
As of today, this is my office.
I expect to be briefed on the projects our funds will go into.
That's final.
What?
You must be busy moving about in such a small office.
You might be packing until you leave.
I really don't know what you're thinking.
I told you. I'm here to work.
Fine. If you want to work here, do so.
But is that really it?
Do I need more?
Even when you disappeared,
I thought you'd be somewhere...
trying to pull yourself back together.
That would be better than going after...
Seo Pil Doo and Ji Na and getting hurt.
I trusted you and waited...
because I thought you'd come back and take steps...
to clear your mother's name.
But right now,
you're acting like you've forgotten your mom and Yeol Mae.
I don't get it.
You can't leave those two alone.
You must reveal the truth and make them pay.
The evidence is gone...
and they got off.
The police ruled it a suicide.
What do you think I can do in this situation?
Si Joon.
I never forgot.
There wasn't a moment that I wasn't thinking of my mom.
I'll deal with her issue.
Don't you worry about me anymore.
Okay.
I'll respect your wishes.
And from now on, I'll treat you with respect as a director.
Okay. You can go now.
But do something for me too.
Tell me if it's too much for you.
You tell me not to worry,
but you know that's hard for us.
I mean,
at least it is for me.
I'll wait.
Wait.
This person's a famous child psychotherapist.
I heard Baek Si Joon now has an office.
And you're so relaxed?
See? He pushed his way into Jubo.
The money's bait.
He's using that to strangle us.
I think this isn't right.
He knows why his mother died.
It doesn't make sense that he's so calm!
Are you at it again?
Don't talk like you're not involved.
Who turned his mom into a nutcase?
Why am I the only one who's afraid?
Let's think of a way to deal with Baek Si Joon.
What we need is the 100 million, not him.
Are you sure?
For a while at least, try to get along with him...
and find a project he'll like.
If you can't do that,
at least stop Ma Poong Do from winning the funds.
This mineral water is what made Bok Nam grow faster?
I'm glad I did something to help Chung Yi.
You'd drink lye if someone said it were good for you.
Do you want a bowl?
Why don't you pray that the Dragon King kill me?
My gosh.
What's that?
Are you leaving home?
Now that Si Joon's back, Yeol Mae can go home.
He can't look after her!
We can't cater to everyone.
Whether they're related or not,
ethics say he should raise the kid his mom adopted.
As if you cared about ethics until now.
- Is she a hostage? - Whatever.
He must've found a rich woman. He looked like he's doing fine.
If he wants us to care for her, I want money.
You should always let a person finish.
You finally said what you really want.
I give her free food and board.
It's only natural for me to demand a fee.
Okay, fine. Give me that.
What's the occasion?
Will you take it to Moo Sim's?
I'll make the delivery.
To Chung Yi's room.
You're always trying to ruin my plans.
I won't give in this time. I can't.
- Let go. Let this go. - You first.
- Let go! - You first.
- Let go. - I won't.
- What are you doing? - I can't let go.
Is it a game?
- Let go. - Let go.
Let go!
My back... Sim Hak Gyu! Put that down!
My poor back.
Sim Hak Gyu, give me that bag!
Give me that bag!
I'll kill you!
Yeol Mae, you're best off not hearing that.
It's bad.
I wish someone would gag her.
I wish Yeol Mae would talk...
and she would shut up forever.
What are you doing here?
Woo Yang. Let's practice breaking up.
What?
We can't break up if we never dated.
I need practice.
I need time to let you go.
What must we do to practice?
Let's hear it.
Let's go to Yangsu-ri for some fresh air...
and walk the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway.
That sounds so much like a date.
How is that break-up practice?
Don't you know that couples that walk along...
the Stonewall Walkway break up?
I'm doing all I can to try to forget you.
Please go with me.
Gwi Nyeo. How about...
I give you a portrait of me...
and you can hang it up in your room,
pretending that I'm dead.
How's that? Doesn't that sound good enough?
Woo Yang!
It's my teacher, Ms. Oh!
No, Tae Yang. It's not your teacher.
I already told you, we're not subscribing.
Daddy.
I already saw her.
Why are you lying to him?
Tae Yang, do you want to go for a ride?
I brought a car that opens up on top. Don't you want to ride it?
Daddy, I want to go with her.
That old man, he's nagging me about everything!
Then you have to promise not to tell Mommy, all right?
Let's go. Hurry up!
(Analysis of Mount Yongwang's mineral water)
According to this data, the mineral water at Mount Yongwang...
contains a lot of calcium and silicon.
The mineral content is even five times higher.
Shouldn't we be the ones drinking it, not Bok Nam?
It could make us at least 10 years younger.
The Mount Yongwang mineral water is really famous.
There's even a saying that King Yeongjo of the Joseon dynasty...
lived a long life thanks to this mineral water.
The geological features of where we brought the seeds from...
and Mount Yongwang are similar as well.
Since we found out that it has to do with Mount Yongwang,
we need to start the preparations for the mass cultivation.
We all know that, obviously.
It's not easy finding a place to begin...
out of Seo Pil Doo and Yeo Ji Na's watch.
I have a good idea.
I was wondering what kind of idea you had,
but this is nowhere near hidden.
I know we went along and planted the seeds here,
but I'm still not sure about this.
They won't even think to look here.
Since they shut down the material development institute,
they won't bother to come here.
You have a point.
How did you come up with that?
Sometimes, I wonder how you think of all that.
You could be the next Zhuge Liang.
What was I expecting...
following these two all the way here?
I should stop third wheeling, shouldn't I?
I'm going back in for a drink.
You don't have to do that.
How did it grow so fast?
It was just a baby last time.
What's wrong?
Aren't you feeling well?
It's nothing.
It just reminded me of a childhood memory.
Should I get you some Mount Yongwang mineral water?
Let's leave the mineral water...
for these Bok Nam juniors.
They need to grow well in order for our Goryeo project to be successful.
Don't you think we should give them names?
What should we call them?
Bok Soon.
Bok Dol?
Is that all you've got?
What's wrong with Bok Soon and Bok Dol?
It's not that different from Bok Nam.
How about Ma Sim?
Ma Poong Do and Sim Chung Yi.
I got it from our names. Is it weird?
It's so weird. Totally!
How could you criticize my ideas with that?
We should find a professional to name our children in the future.
Children? What are you talking about?
Ma Poong Do and Sim Chung Yi.
It won't be easy to find better names than their parents'.
Stop it, already.
Ms. Ko might get us wrong is she hears this.
I already heard everything.
It's unbelievable.
What kind of torture is this?
Where in the world is that Ma Poong Do?
He can't be leaving me out, like what Seo Pil Doo did.
What's this? Aren't you...
Run Delivery, Baek Si Joon?
What are you doing in a suit?
Is there something going on in the company?
Is Seo Pil Doo and Yeo Ji Na up to something again?
(HR Corporation)
(HR Corporation, Director Baek Si Joon)
I look forward to working with you.
Curator Ma.
Good bye.
"HR Corporation, Director"?
He's not Run Delivery?
(Yeo Ji Na, Baek Si Joon, Seo Pil Doo)
Yeo Ji Na's enemy, Baek Si Joon,
suddenly became the director of Jubo Group's investor.
Yeo Ji Na and Seo Pil Doo are on the same team.
(Yeo Ji Na, Seo Pil Doo, One team!)
Baek Si Joon and Seo Pil Doo are enemies.
(Yeo Ji Na, Baek Si Joon, Seo Pil Doo, Jeong Moo Sim)
Then what about Jeong Moo Sim?
Jeong Moo Sim is Baek Si Joon's mother.
She fell from Jubo Group's office and died.
(Yeo Ji Na, Seo Pil Doo, One team, Enemy, Baek Si Joon, Jeong Moo Sim)
And she was crazy.
(Baek Si Joon's mother, Dead, Crazy)
I think I'm the one going crazy!
Why did Si Joon appear out of nowhere?
Why?
They didn't mess with the car and the cell phone.
I thought they would've planted a bug somewhere.
It seems like they haven't gotten things together, yet.
They're confused about my intentions.
They'd be scared about blowing up...
the 100 million dollars by making the wrong guess.
You'll have to be careful.
They're going to start tracking this place anytime soon.
Jong Soo?
It's nothing. Don't worry about me.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Please come again.
Why are you alone? Where's Woo Yang?
He said he was going to change but he disappeared.
I'm going to kill him.
Give me an apron. I'll help.
It's okay. Those are the last two tables.
Did you go meet Baek Si Joon?
He's not answering any of my calls.
I did.
I think I'll be seeing him at work for the time being.
What? How did he get in Jubo Group?
As what?
He's been working at an investment company.
An investment company?
That was sneaky of him.
Oh, Heon Jeong. Take this.
Si Joon gave it to me.
He's a well-known doctor. Try taking Yeol Mae to him.
What's up with him?
He's been ignoring me and Yeol Mae until now.
Does he think a single business card will settle everything?
It means that he's been worried about her at heart.
I already made a reservation.
I'll take her during our day off,
so don't worry about it, Chung Yi.
No, I'll take her.
You're busy with the restaurant.
I'll think of it as an excursion with her.
Don't worry.
(Classical Music, Ma Poong Do)
Mr. Kim.
I have a favor to ask of you.
(Jubo Group)
What do you think you're doing?
I think I told you to get the titles right.
Director Baek,
what do you think you're doing?
What do you think?
The Goryeo project has already proceeded a step forward,
but your team is coming up with such poor plans.
We were able to persuade a designer who never collaborates.
Don't you know that collaborations with famous designers...
drive sales in short periods of time?
It's merely a collaboration...
and not an original plan, isn't it?
I think you're underestimating HR Corporation...
to bring such trash to me.
So you want to fight, is it?
I'll submit a new report.
"Analysis of Mount Yongwang's mineral water"?
What's this weed?
Will you look at this?
Shall I show you something interesting?
"Analysis of Mount Yongwang's mineral water"?
What were you doing here?
- She's spying? - Why...
What's this?
What did she do?
Ms. Ko.
Did you set up a secret camera?
A secret camera?
I run a vlog called "Manager Ko's Life at Work".
I kept the camera on...
and look who made a surprise appearance?
Did you get something from the papers on my desk?
Let's not make silly excuses like...
you were looking for a pen.
Okay, Ms. Yeo?
What are they up to?
They analyzed Mount Yongwang's mineral water...
and had photos of a weed.
A weed?
It had nothing but leaves.
What could they do with that?
I get nervous when I see them huddled together.
We haven't even found a decent project to work on.
What if after all the mockery and insults from Si Joon,
we lose the investment too?
Secretary Moon, are you there?
Really?
She got some information, so we can't exactly say...
we put her in her place.
I know.
That's the drawback of sharing an office.
Manager Ko said we needn't worry, that she'll deal with it.
She said that?
What would suit a newlywed's house?
This is popular.
Would something with lots of leaves symbolize many blessings?
Are you visiting someone?
No. It's for my house.
Are you getting married?
Yes.
Without telling me?
When's the wedding?
Sometime in the future.
I must marry one day. I can't stay single forever.
Manager Ko's part of a group that's interested in plants.
I don't think you need to worry about what Ms. Yeo said.
That's why she had photos of plants?
What are they up to?
They analyzed Mount Yongwang's mineral water...
and had photos of a weed.
It had nothing but leaves.
What could they do with that?
I get nervous when I see them huddled together.
Mount Yongwang.
Yongwang-ri.
And a plant.
I have a feeling you visit too often.
I do.
Should I go back to being a lodger here?
Is the shrine available?
Stop being so silly.
Why did you ask to see me? Is something wrong?
Let's go and see our babies.
"Our babies"?
(Plant Cultivation Lab)
Are these the babies you were talking about?
They're our babies.
Have you forgotten? Ma Sim.
Why does this happen whenever we're here?
Do you remember the baseball bat incident?
Yes.
A major league club should sign you.
This won't work. I'll get a flashlight.
Poong Do?
Mom!
You...
Was it...
(Blessing of the Sea)
Sim Chung Yi's seeds?
She planted the seeds she had since she was a kid.
You didn't know?
I drifted down to Yongwang-ri in 1998.
That means he worked here back then.
A car had been following me.
It was Chairwoman Ma's driver.
The dying woman's trying to die even sooner.
What do you mean you're suddenly going to America?
This is my last present to you.
I want you to be happy.
- Jo Ji Hwan? - Do you know him?
I saw this name while going through Dad's things.
Let's go home. I'll show you something.
Who is this man?
