(April 2019)
I'm here under the direction of the Vice President.
Excuse for the drink. This is all I've got.
The Vice President wants you to have that.
How strange.
It's embarrassing to show myself like this...
to a person I've never met.
If you need anything,
please contact me at this number.
Then, I should go now.
But your coffee...
Let me open it for you.
The door is pretty old.
Excuse me.
Who is it?
I'm here to fix the door.
But I didn't call for help.
Hold on a second.
Mr. Park Sung Jun called us.
Is this the door?
Yes.
(Park Sung Jun, The head of the VIP team of Sung Un Department Store)
Thank you.
Is there someone you know?
Not really.
Look.
The star couple of Sung Un is here.
Do you know them?
Everyone knows who they are.
He's the right-hand man of the Vice President.
There's a rumor that he'll be the youngest executive soon.
Also, I heard his wife's family is wealthy...
and she's very good-natured.
I bet for people like them,
life must be so full of joy like a humming song.
Come to think of it,
I guess everyone has their own destiny.
If I get to born again next time,
I don't want to live a petty life like now...
but a fancy life like hers.
(After the storm)
(Episode 9)
I'm sorry.
I know I shouldn't contact you.
But...
today...
Today was just too...
I'm sorry.
And...
thank you for coming.
You seem better now...
so I should go.
(My Wife)
Where are you?
Well,
I was going to call you just now.
The Vice President needs...
me for the briefing he has to do tomorrow.
I've got to go back to the office.
Will you be really late?
I'm afraid I can't make it today.
Let's talk tomorrow.
I don't mind you being late. I can wait.
I don't think it'll be over until dawn.
Come even if you're late.
This can't wait anymore.
I'll wait for you at home.
Who is it?
It's me.
Open the door.
When did you manage to get this place?
How did you find out?
I followed you since you wouldn't tell me.
I don't see a man here.
I'm joking. Don't give me that look.
Eat this.
I'm fine.
I got this for you.
You looked down all day.
What kind of a husband does this?
Who buys porridge for his runaway wife?
Where are the kids?
Our nanny is taking care of them.
I'll go after I make sure you eat.
Are you okay?
I just feel a little sick. I'll eat it later.
Shouldn't you go to the hospital?
I'm all right.
It's like you have morning sickness.
I slipped my tongue.
Ms. Na was asking me if we were planning to have a third child.
So I told her it's even scary just to think about it.
- Ms. Na did? - Yes.
But another child would look so cute, right?
We didn't know how we'd raise Young Jun and Seo Jun,
and now they're so big.
Sometimes I feel sad that they're already so big.
Of course, I didn't raise them.
You should go. Our nanny needs to go home now.
Right.
But...
now that I know where you are,
you wouldn't die alone or anything.
Did you get it?
You live alone, and...
I must be losing a sense of humor. My jokes aren't working at all.
I'll have to try harder. Goodbye.
You're okay, right?
What do you mean?
Just...
You're not in trouble or anything, right?
No.
Then it's all good.
But don't take too long.
You know how impatient I am.
Come back soon.
Go.
Goodbye.
Take care.
Get inside.
Talk to me.
At first,
I didn't know it would come to this.
Let's go.
Transfer her to an easier team.
Yes, sir.
It was only about work.
Let me open it for you.
The door is pretty old.
Excuse me.
I got to know the situation she's in.
"Her life must have been difficult."
That's all I had in my mind.
Thank you.
It was nothing more than that.
I don't know how it led to this.
I just don't.
Are you saying it was simply out of pity?
At first,
it was.
So...
who was it?
Do I know her?
I know you took the files from the security camera.
If the text message wasn't true,
would you have gone that far?
I took the footage only to find out who was pulling those pranks.
What if I must know who the woman is?
Since we first met,
so strangely,
I thought about how we'd hold hands and grow old.
And I liked it.
To think that you'll still be there at the end of my life,
it was comforting.
That's why I wanted to cover...
the crazy things I had done.
I wanted to live like nothing ever happened.
I kept telling myself I'm doing this for you.
But in fact, I was doing it for myself.
Because the moments when we get old that I've imagined every day,
they were so warm.
But...
a man who ruined everything doesn't deserve those moments.
Jung Sun.
Let's end this.
Are you suggesting we get a divorce?
I'm sorry.
Are you seeing her again?
- It's not like that. - Then...
why all of a sudden?
Why now?
I've realized that I can't put together...
broken pieces of glass.
Don't be ridiculous.
Broken pieces of glass?
I'm the one who bleeds because of those pieces of glass, not you!
Who are you to decide whether to put them together?
End it?
Do you think I've never thought about that?
I've wanted to say it for hundreds, thousands of times.
But I've pushed those words down my throat.
I was bleeding to death,
and I thought I'd still be able to put those pieces together.
I knew they were hurting me,
but I still held on to them.
Why?
Because of the ten years we've shared together.
Because I thought it wouldn't be shattered in a day.
How dare you talk about divorce?
Was this how you thought of our marriage?
Was it that insignificant for you to say it's over that easily?
It was not insignificant.
I thought I was fortunate to meet someone like you to have a family.
I wanted to protect it.
I thought I could.
But I've ruined everything like a mad man.
Still, I wanted to hold on to it.
I wanted to hold on so bad, and I struggled to do so.
But I can't, Jung Sun.
I just can't put up with this.
So you want to do everything by your way.
Don't be absurd.
Our divorce is up to my decision.
This is the review of the Tifone exhibition.
It's the primary one which was done at the event yesterday.
Thank you.
Are you okay?
What do you mean?
Well, right.
You're the mighty Lee Hyun Ah. You'd not waver over such a thing.
Why didn't you tell me though?
Did you think I'd tell others about it?
I'm a little sad if then.
I'm all about loyalty, you know.
It's nothing good to babble about.
I'll be off.
Zip your mouth, Sang Woo.
What?
Why did she wink at me?
The profit from the auction is beyond the estimated amount.
Good job.
This should be good enough of a result to show.
Share this with Mr. Choi and Mr. Park.
I sent it to them via e-mail this morning.
Well done.
They've been on my father's side for a long time.
We must give them our power if they're to be sure.
We must not show them any of our faults.
Yes, sir.
Did Yu Ri come to work?
Yes.
I see.
Be attentive to her.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Ms. Na.
I'm supposed to have lunch with the CEO of the valet business,
but I've suddenly got a meeting to attend.
If you have time,
could you go on my behalf?
We need to get the list from them too.
Okay.
Yu Ri.
Go with Ms. Na.
You have experience working with her.
See you later.
I will go.
They aren't going to play around.
This is bad.
- Yu Ri, let's get ready and go. - Yes, ma'am.
(New Folder)
Mr. Park is a man after all.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay, Ms. Na?
I'm not in good condition today.
I'm sorry.
It was such a big event yesterday.
Are you okay about what happened yesterday?
Yes, I'm okay.
It isn't my business to meddle with,
but if it's a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be better...
you don't do anything that could cause it?
Even more so if it's not a misunderstanding.
For your sake...
and for his wife's sake.
Excuse me.
Hello?
What?
She was already weak when she caught pneumonia.
It worsened her condition.
She's stable now,
so let's see how she recovers.
Okay.
Mom.
Please don't be sick.
You shouldn't be sick, okay?
Your mother will be all right.
I didn't want to show you this side of me.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
She seems to have been a good mother.
I was able to bear with it because of her.
Without her, I...
I feel like my mom is...
getting punished instead of me.
No.
She will recover at least for you.
We need to head back.
Stay here for today.
No, the doctor said she'd be okay.
I can come back after work.
I'll get ready right away.
Okay.
(Hana Care Hospital)
It was only about work.
I got to know the situation she's in.
(On Hye Seon)
"Her life must have been difficult."
That's all I had in my mind.
Yu Ri, I have to visit somewhere.
Can you go to the office by yourself?
Sure.
I'll see you later.
Ms. Lee!
Take a look at this.
(The Vice President's wife and staff of Sung Un Department Store)
(The wife grabs a wine bottle and pours it at the staff.)
This is the following news.
The wife of the Vice President of Sung Un Department Store was seen...
abusing employees, creating a controversy.
The video was uploaded at an anonymous website,
and the top trending searches are...
all about this wine incident.
Director, have you seen the news?
- Is the video... - I thought you were careful.
You're more careless than I thought.
Excuse me?
Why did you come to me now, when so many people are watching?
Don't worry.
The scenario you're thinking won't happen.
I'll tell you when to see me.
We'll talk outside of the office.
Okay?
Okay.
Sir,
we'll tell you when we figure things out.
We currently have nothing to tell you about.
We'll call you later.
Okay.
You're here.
A staff from the catering team uploaded the video.
A staff from the catering team?
That person must have filmed it secretly.
It's driving me mad. We can't control it.
Seeing from that angle, it must've filmed on stage.
When would a catering team staff go up the stage?
Get the PR team to send us the guidelines when it's finished.
Okay.
What should we do?
What's wrong this time?
(Is the victim Ha Jae Woong's mistress?)
It's getting worse.
Her information is already on the internet.
(Identical person)
(Mistress)
Putting her in the spotlight was a mistake.
Yu Ri, go home early today.
No, I'm fine.
It's an emergency. I should work.
You're going to create more work if you stay here.
Do you see that?
The reporters might be waiting at your home.
You should stay somewhere else for a few days.
I'm sorry.
If I hadn't made a mistake that day...
This isn't your fault from the start.
Why would I blame you?
It already happened,
so we should find a solution.
How's the public?
It's not so good.
I see.
There's a petition for the Vice President to resign,
and it's gaining popularity.
There are internal opinions that agree as well.
He's in hot water for sure.
Even Ha Jae Woong won't be able to get out of it easily.
If he makes a mistake,
his wife or Daehan Group will become his enemy.
Nobody should know we orchestrated the whole thing.
Don't worry about it.
I'll make sure there's no trouble.
I want to see how the event goes.
But taking pictures and filming are...
strictly restricted during the event.
That's why I'm asking you in person.
The VIP team might be merged with the marketing team,
so I should get to see how things work beforehand.
It's not a difficult request.
Don't you think?
I understand.
Mi Na!
- Are you okay? - Mi Na.
What's wrong with her?
I'll hold her. Mi Na!
I'm sorry.
The doctor said you should get some rest.
Mr. Lee didn't seem to know.
I didn't tell him.
I wasn't going to tell our team as well,
but everyone knows now.
Why weren't you going to tell us?
I'm not going to keep the baby.
Please don't tell him.
Why did you come back to the office that day?
The person who sent me the text message...
It was you?
I was afraid that rumors would spread.
I wanted to find out who did it.
I don't know what you're thinking,
but it isn't me.
What are you talking about?
What?
You!
Did you see it?
The Vice President is going to do a press conference.
(Urgent press conference by the vice president of Sung Un)
First of all,
I apologize for this incident...
that enraged people.
The reason I am here is...
that some of the reports are not true,
I wanted to tell you the truth.
Currently,
the woman in the video...
whom some of the articles claim that she's my mistress is...
actually my daughter.
There was a woman I dated during my college years.
I lost contact with her afterward,
so I wasn't aware of my daughter.
I've also found out about it recently.
Every blame should be on me.
But I couldn't stand by...
an innocent family being criticized...
due to wild speculation because of my mistake.
So I've decided to reveal the truth.
For causing a lot of people anxiety due to my personal history,
I sincerely apologize.
I'm sorry.
Just kill me instead.
Having a secret mistress,
that goes away by time after people are done talking about it.
But a child out of wedlock?
That's going to embarrass me for the rest of my life.
And you want to tell the world about it?
If people see this as an affair,
it would seriously damage my position for moral reasons.
But...
if people see it as a family problem,
it can be framed differently in the media.
I have to tell the truth to do that.
That's your problem.
I know it's all my fault.
But Myung Eun,
please help me this once.
I can't back off now.
(Urgent press conference by the vice president of Sung Un)
Do slip a sound and hide there.
Act like you don't exist in this world.
Is this Ms. On Yu Ri's phone?
Who is it?
I'm Kim Il Seob, a reporter of Hana Daily News.
I had no interaction with her afterward whatsoever.
This is so huge.
I've also found out...
I haven't done anything wrong to Ms. On, right?
Or have I?
I talk about so many things, I can't even trust myself.
Have I ever said anything weird?
I must have, right?
Well, this makes things awkward.
Now she turned out to be Vice-President's daughter.
Did Mr. Park know about this?
I apologize.
I was also not aware of this matter.
But can't we hold him responsible for having a child out of wedlock?
He wasn't married or anything.
He says that he didn't know about it. Do you think that would work?
He's pretending to bow down...
saying that he'll take responsibility for everything.
How do you think that would work?
(On Yu Ri)
The number you have dialed is currently unable to reach.
You will be connected to voicemail after the beep.
(Call me if you...)
(Call me if you see this.)
(Head's Office)
(Property Damage Insurance)
(To On Yu Ri: Call me if you see this.)
Mr. Park.
What's going to happen to Ms. On?
Will she continue to come to work with our team?
Yes, there won't be any changes in particular.
You may work as usual.
The whole ranking system has been changed.
And there won't be any changes in particular?
Yes, this is Park Sung Jun.
This is Yu Ri.
How about we let her come to work?
Now?
With all the reporters camping...
in front of our department store?
If they take pictures of her coming to work,
the main articles will be switched from the scandal...
to curiosities about her as an individual.
For now, that seems like a better option...
than the video being spread.
So we take advantage of the press.
Will she be able to handle it?
She'll have to go through the pressure at least once.
It will do her less harm...
to face the problem head-on as a result.
Do you keep in touch with your father?
- Are you really his daughter? - Do you keep in touch with him?
I apologize for causing worries.
Yes, Mother. I'm almost there.
Okay.
Don't rush and drive safely.
Mother.
Jung Sun is feeling sick today.
She's sick?
You should've let her take some rest. Why did you send her so early?
Is she over there?
Didn't you know?
She got here earlier. But I didn't know she was sick.
She's setting up the table.
All right, then. Take your time.
I should tell her to get some rest.
Okay.
This is very delicious.
I've packed some for you to bring home. Don't forget to take them.
Thank you.
Why aren't you eating?
It's nothing.
One of my friends said she could get a divorce.
A divorce?
What happened?
Her husband had an affair.
And he wanted to get a divorce.
Poor her.
She asked me what to do,
and I didn't know what to tell her.
I've learned in my life...
that when you hurt someone, it comes right back at you.
Even if he did leave for that new woman,
he wouldn't be able to live well.
If that ever happened to me...
Nonsense.
It would never happen to you in the first place,
and if it did, I'm going to chase him down before you.
Keep that in mind.
This is really tasty.
How did you marinate it?
I'll pack some of those for you too.
It's all right. You should leave some for yourself.
It's okay. There's plenty.
Thank you.
- Have some short ribs. - Okay.
Thank you for today.
- But... - I came to show you.
If we get divorced,
your mother, my dad,
and all our families will be hurt.
That's what you're trying to do.
See it with your own eyes.
Just what you've ruined.
Is there anything you need?
It's all done.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
- Let me go to the toilet. - Okay.
By any chance...
Never mind.
What am I thinking?
You know what your father did, so you wouldn't do such a thing.
- Is there anything more you need? - No.
- Sit down. - Okay.
Yes, sir.
Reporters seem to have found out which hotel Yu Ri is staying in.
Find her a studio in Hannam-dong quietly.
(Mr. Park)
I'm at the door.
Take your stuff and come out. I'll escort you to another place.
Ms. On.
- Let's go. - Ms. On.
- How are you feeling right now? - Where is your mother?
When did you find out about your father?
- Ms. On. - Ms. On Yu Ri.
Could I go...
see my mom?
The Vice President will send you a chauffeur after an hour.
I found a place for you to stay in Hannam-dong.
It has high security,
so reporters won't be able to enter.
Please excuse me.
I shouldn't have...
started it in the first place.
Then I wouldn't have to suffer this much.
This is crazy.
This is bad.
(Personnel Appointments)
- "The general management team"? - It's a minor department.
He got ousted completely.
Oh, dear.
Director Park, congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Someone in our team is writing a new history of this company.
Let's give him a big applause.
There's no need. Thank you.
Did your wife hear the news?
(Hana Care Hospital)
(On Hye Seon)
Is it someone I know?
No.
I guess some people have the right.
I should've known sooner.
It's from Park Sung Jun.
You said it's over.
That it's someone I don't know.
Is there anything more that I should know?
No.
It's over.
I'm never going back.
You should do the same.
Will it be okay...
to have what I want?
Congratulations.
(VIP)
It's like an embarrassing secret I kept to myself.
I somehow let her discover it.
It gave me comfort.
I just can't put an end...
to my feelings for you.
Fortunately, I'm the only one who knows that you filmed the video.
We'll put you under anesthesia.
I came here to tell you something.
I will show you what it means to lose everything.
Let's go to the pit of fire...
together.
