Vice President Seo Pil Doo.
I just asked you what you're doing here.
Chung Yi.
Vice President Seo Pil Doo?
Dad.
He seems quite familiar.
By any chance, do you know who he is?
That's Vice President Seo Pil Doo.
Did you come all the way here to do my background check?
Wait, what are you talking about?
A background check?
What is this?
What are you doing in front of my house this late at night?
Are you deaf or something?
A background check?
I came to ask you a few questions...
regarding "Portrait of a Beauty".
I remembered how you were reading Jo Ji Hwan's file this afternoon.
That sounds more like an awful excuse.
If you have anything to say, you can tell me at work.
Doesn't it make you look weird to hang about...
in front of someone's house at this hour?
Fine, I'll do that.
Excuse me, I apologize. Goodbye.
Don't do that, Dad. Let's go.
(Dragon King Shaman)
Doesn't he hold a high position? I shouldn't have yelled at him.
Should I have held back?
No, Dad. You don't have to mind him.
Anyway, why is he doing a background check on you?
No idea.
Who knows what that cunning man has on his mind?
He mentioned the portrait to make an excuse.
That sly man.
Well,
he might have had something to say about "Portrait of a Beauty".
He opposes everything that has to do with the Goryeo project.
He couldn't be here to tell me anything helpful.
He's either here to find out what we're up to,
or he might be up to something else.
I'll go talk to him at work tomorrow.
He better not say anything absurd. I won't let it pass.
I think that guy visited our house before.
What? When?
You know,
a little bit after you got into that hit-and-run accident.
Really?
Why was he here back then?
Anyway, he's so weird.
Chung Yi, are you really okay?
I'm worried after hearing about him doing your background check.
There's nothing to worry about.
He's not going to find anything anyway.
All I've done is a ton of part-time jobs.
You're right.
Has Poong Do left?
Yes, after finishing a bowl of ramyeon.
Well, Chung Yi.
I think I'll work for Chairwoman Ma.
If she needs me, why not?
Poong Do asked me to as well.
"Poong Do"?
It seems like you two are much closer now.
Sharing ramyeon together at night...
can make any two people friends.
Seo Pil Doo.
Why did he come to my house?
I guess the Goryeo project provoked him.
I came to ask you a few questions.
I remembered how you were reading Jo Ji Hwan's file this afternoon.
Did he look at me like that because he knew something?
Was he feeling me out or what?
Something doesn't feel right about him, definitely.
What are you doing in front of my house this late at night?
Did you find out?
Why is Jo Hong Joo living with them?
Apparently, right after Sim Chung Yi washed up on shore,
she started following Sim Hak Gyu around, calling him Dad.
Didn't "Portrait of a Beauty" wash up with her?
No. There was no mention of it.
It's hard to believe...
that he took a stranger in for nothing.
Do some more digging on Sim Hak Gyu.
Yes, sir.
Where are you?
Why didn't you show up?
I was being followed.
By who?
In any case, the money should be moved to a safer place.
It's an emergency.
The slush fund should be moved?
I'll tell you more details when we meet.
I'll let you know where we should meet soon.
Attorney Han!
Give me my money back...
What are you doing?
Let me go!
Where are you taking me?
What happened between Gwi Nyeo and Heon Jeong?
It's none of your business. You're being nosy.
You.
How is the Goryeo project going?
I can't understand why you and Mom want to do that.
Do you know how many people that painting has killed so far?
It's cursed.
Do you know a man called Jo Ji Hwan?
I sure do.
I almost married him once.
What?
Can you believe...
your grandma wanted me to marry him?
She was smitten with him.
He was like brothers...
with your dad as well.
It brings back memories.
But it's all pointless.
In the end, he stabbed the old lady in the back.
Seo Pil Doo, Ma Sung Jae, and Jo Ji Hwan.
They were inseparable.
They even got friendship watches and whatnot.
You shouldn't trust people too easily.
Be especially careful of people like Sim Chung Yi.
Do you understand?
Don't drink too much.
What is it?
You don't want to hear me say bad things about Chung Yi?
Are you one of her supporters?
Why is everyone on her side?
Gosh, it's annoying.
Where did the picture go?
(Ryan)
Gosh, what is this?
I can't believe him.
Hello.
Were you waiting for my call? You picked up right away.
What did you do to my phone?
When did you save this creepy photo in it?
I took 100 photos to get that one.
It looks amazing, doesn't it?
I had no one else to show it off to than you.
Cut it out. What's the matter?
You want me to find a ghost?
What are you talking about, a ghost?
I'm talking about Jo Ji Hwan. Don't you have any more information?
I'm usually better than an average detective agency,
but I can't find anything on him.
It's almost like someone has removed all the information about him.
Have you checked Gangnyeong Temple?
Gangnyeong Temple?
Yes. It might be the last place he was at.
Find out more about it.
We're getting a divorce.
Stamp it, Woo Yang.
Fine. We got married earlier than most people.
We could get a divorce early too.
Let's get it over with.
Is this your conclusion after talking all night?
Don't you care about Tae Yang?
We're doing this for his sake.
The three of us can't go on like this.
I can raise Tae Yang by myself.
Who says you can take him?
Who says you can?
Be quiet, both of you!
Don't you remember what you went through to get married?
Who were the witnesses of your marriage?
They were Ms. Jeong and me.
If you get a divorce,
I'll never see you guys again.
Gosh.
I'm the one who should be crying, not her.
What are you guys doing here?
Shouldn't you be in school?
Nothing.
Yeol Mae, let's go.
Dad, you look like a different person.
Now that I'm working for Chairwoman Ma,
I should dress well.
This is the only suit I have. Do I look good?
Yes. You look great.
Why do you look so down?
Is something wrong?
No. Let's go, Dad.
We never got to finish our conversation last night.
What did you want to talk about at my house?
Was it really about "Portrait of a Beauty"?
I heard "Portrait of a Beauty" was with...
Sim Hak Gyu, your dad.
Is that true?
It's that again.
Did Ji Na tell you that?
You took the painting.
Why do you keep dragging my dad into it?
The truth will be revealed soon.
The painting thief's daughter working on the Goryeo project?
Wouldn't that be absurd?
Look, Vice President Seo.
You're afraid...
the Goryeo project will reveal what you did in the past.
And that's understandable.
But it's no use trying to get in my way by spying me.
Why don't you try to achieve something on your own instead?
Are you giving me advice?
Whether it's advice or a warning, you decide.
Vice President, you should be focusing on...
finding out what your dear Yeo Ji Na is up to.
What is this?
Why are you walking out of the vice president's office?
Did you tell Seo Pil Doo that Dad had "Portrait of a Beauty"?
What are you talking about?
Yeo Ji Na, I gave up expecting you to behave like a civil human.
But let me at least trust you on one thing.
Stop causing Dad any trouble.
Hey. You!
Seo Pil Doo knows that the portrait was at my place?
What does he know?
He keeps on bringing up "Portrait of a Beauty".
How much longer do we have until two weeks are over?
Director Baek.
I didn't know you were such a worrying type.
We'll find out if I'm suspicious for a good reason or not very soon.
I don't want you to be flustered later.
Anyway,
good luck.
What's wrong with him?
Baek Si Joon.
How dare you make a fool of me with a smile?
If you're here to rush me with something, forget it.
(Vice President Seo Pil Doo)
If you're that unsatisfied with how I do things,
you can just take your money and disappear.
You have more than enough to completely change your life.
Why do you stick around and trouble yourself with work?
Are you trying to find out where the money is?
You can't live with just money.
What I want isn't a few pennies.
I want the Jubo Group.
You dream big.
Then go stop the Goryeo project instead of sitting here.
Sim Chung Yi is risking her life to work on that project.
You should at least show me how you stop her with your life.
My mother had a flower garden.
I remember how she said it's the most important...
to prune the plants at the best timing.
And people are...
just like those plants.
Is he telling me to get rid of Yeo Ji Na?
I'm telling you to get rid of Yeo Ji Na.
Give her an order to stop the Goryeo project.
Then she will definitely take things further than she should.
Sim Chung Yi doesn't know anything.
Do you honestly think they will succeed?
There could be an unexpected change in everything.
Do you know what I don't understand the most?
I have no idea why Sim Chung Yi is so obsessed over that project.
And I'm not sure what you are so afraid of, Vice President.
What's with you two?
You said you have no time.
If you're that desperate, you should hurry too.
And study a little, will you?
(Economic prospect of the Goryeo project)
Why did he suddenly give me these?
(Research on the color of "Portrait of a Beauty")
I have no time to read these things.
Human Gene Examination Center?
Seo Pil Doo, you're very suspicious.
What's on his mind?
What's wrong with you?
It seems like someone is tracking the bank account.
We should move the money to someone who's trustworthy.
You know, like your mother.
Do we have to do that?
You have no time to be so chill.
You should hurry before they find a trace.
Who's tracking the money?
Is it Seo Pil Doo?
Seo Pil Doo.
She'll probably get moving if you told her that.
Keep your eyes on how things work out.
(Director Baek Si Joon)
Go do everything you can, Yeo Ji Na.
I'll be waiting for you at the end of the road.
Miso Savings Bank?
Okay, I'll be there.
Why does she want my ID card?
Wait, is she trying to take out a loan under my name?
No way, she has all the money under her bed.
All right. Goodness!
How long were you two standing there?
Since when you said, "She has all the money under her bed."
Be quiet. You're fine because you can't talk anyway.
Where are my five dollars?
Goodness, you are worse than your mom.
Here, take your five bucks.
Anyway, since when were you so obsessed with money?
It looks like my parents are about to get a divorce.
I need to find a way to make a living,
so I'm doing everything I can.
A divorce? They're really going to get divorced?
It's not decided yet, so don't tell anyone.
Let's go, Yeol Mae.
We're unable to make ink powder?
There is this process of mixing the ingredients...
in order to create ink powder,
but they found carcinogen in the process,
so they had to stop the research back then.
It was among the failed attempts on the records that Jo Ji Hwan left.
I thought we were about to find a new possibility.
It's too early to be discouraged.
If it was that easy, they would have succeeded already.
We'll have to find a way.
We have better equipment than he did back then.
Okay.
Don't lose your heart.
Hey, it's me.
Since when I was six, my grandpa and dad made me...
follow around monks who drew Buddha's painting all over...
Come to think of it, that monk would be perfect.
Who? Who is it?
A monk named Monk Sungkwang.
He used to be at Gangnyeong Temple.
He's an expert of Goryeo's Buddha paintings.
Monk Sungkwang?
Yes, you can never tell where he is,
so it's tough to get a hold of him.
At some point, it looked like he suddenly disappeared.
I was wondering why I was smelling sesame oil.
I knew you would do this. A hunger strike, my foot.
I didn't eat because I was hungry. I'm eating to live.
If I starve to death, it's only bad for me.
Fine, eat all you want and forget about that guy.
I gave him enough money, so he won't lurk around anymore.
What are you talking about?
You gave Woo Yang money?
Are you insane?
What's with you?
How can you do that?
Gwi Nyeo, enough is enough.
I'm your mom. Do you think I would push you into your peril?
Stop minding my business even if I was jumping into my peril.
You don't even know when my birthday is. What's with you?
That isn't important right now!
If you have time to harass me, you should look after Grandma.
You know that she has a new driver, right?
Do you know who he is?
Who is it?
The father of Yeo Ji Na and Sim Chung Yi.
What?
What's with that old woman?
Where is he?
Isn't your driver or something following you in here?
Why do you want to know that?
He's Sim Chung Yi and Yeo Ji Na's dad, isn't he?
What are you thinking?
Watch your language.
After being stabbed in the back like that,
shouldn't you learn something?
Poong Do and you are the same!
My goodness.
(Dragon King Shaman)
- Dad, you're back now? - Yes.
Is something bothering you?
You look so depressed.
We're doing some dye research on "Portrait of a Beauty",
and it's harder than I thought.
It's not going well?
There must be reasons why all the researches have failed so far.
It'd be greedy of me to want to solve it so fast, right?
Let's go in, Dad. I'm a bit tired.
Okay. Go in and rest.
Let's go.
What is bothering Chung Yi so much?
Finding her biological parents alone must be hard enough.
Now with "Portrait of a Beauty"...
Where did you go all dressed up?
Cut your toenails more carefully.
If you let your mind wander,
you'll whine about your toenails being too short later.
(Monk Sungkwang of Gangnyeong Temple Is Back from South America)
What are you doing?
"Monk Sungkwang of Gangnyeong Temple"?
(Monk Sungkwang of Gangnyeong Temple Is Back from South America)
Hello.
Did something happen at the temple?
Two people died here last night.
They died? Who are they?
They were the chief monk's guests.
They were looking for a painting or something.
- A painting? - Yes.
Since when do you read newspapers?
My toenails are all over the floor. Gosh!
Darn it.
Yes.
This monk might know something about Chung Yi's biological dad.
I was worried you'd be very disappointed.
I'm okay. I'm sure we'll find a way.
Ms. Ko will keep asking around.
You sound totally disappointed.
Just wait. I have a present for you.
A present?
(Jubo Group)
What's this?
This is...
You're lucky to receive a present like that.
Ms. Ko, this is Bok Nam,
isn't it?
Chairman Ma got it for you.
I risked my life in the sandstorm to get my hands on it last time.
I don't know how he was able to get so much.
Now you can experiment with growing methods as much as you want.
Jo Ji Hwan stayed at Gangnyeong Temple right before the accident.
I know that part.
My dad was at that temple with him when the accident happened.
What's more important is,
Jo Ji Hwan was very close to Monk Sungkwang at that temple.
Monk Sungkwang?
Yes. He is a Goryeo Buddhist painting expert.
He once did some dye research with Jo Ji Hwan too.
But I don't remember seeing his name in the accident records.
He left the country right before the accident...
and just got back.
I read some articles about him.
He's been working mostly in South America and Africa.
Is that right?
Why don't you visit him yourself?
If you meet Monk Sungkwang at Gangnyeong Temple,
you might be able to get more accurate information.
Did you just say "Gangnyeong Temple"?
Did you see my present? Do you like it?
You said "Monk Sungkwang at Gangnyeong Temple", right?
You're not saying anything about my present.
Why? Do you know him?
Ms. Ko told me about him.
She told me...
he could help us with the dye development.
That's great. You two could go there together.
Visit him and get all the information you need.
What do you say?
Let me contact the temple for you.
Is this Gangnyeong Temple?
This is Ryan Kang.
Who is asking around about the watch?
I told you to make sure this never happens.
Why did I get a call like that?
I'm checking the security camera footage.
But more than that, we should do something about Gangnyeong Temple.
Gangnyeong Temple? Why?
With Monk Sungkwang back,
Chairman Ma Poong Do seems to be on to something.
Ma Poong Do?
Thanks to that monk, we're on a date.
You're missing the point.
We have a ton of problems to solve.
I don't care what the point is.
I just want to hold your hand and kiss you.
You always pretend you're not interested in those things.
What are you talking about?
Save us, merciful Buddha.
We're at a temple, right?
Let's go.
Monk Sungkwang is not in at the moment.
Why is a monk so busy?
My goodness.
- Dad! - Father.
Chung Yi.
What are you two doing here?
Vice President Seo.
The person who was asking around about the watch is Sim Hak Gyu.
I just found him in the security camera footage.
Sim Hak Gyu.
(Blessing of the Sea)
I saw everything. He's your driver, isn't he?
Where is he? Is he in your study?
If I invest three million dollars,
I can get 100,000 dollars every month?
Keep going but don't rush.
Right. You had that handkerchief.
Do you still have it?
If Sim Hak Gyu had "Portrait of a Beauty",
everything would make sense.
I suffered for three hours...
to get that monk's phone number.
You have that monk's phone number?
How? So suddenly?
It seems like Ma Poong Do got in touch with him secretly.
I heard you wanted to see me.
I'm Monk Sungkwang.
