Hello, Mr. Han.
What? He's on the move?
Who do you think he's meeting?
Gotcha.
I think he's waiting for someone.
He's receiving a call.
He told us he knows nothing but I think he's talking to his guy.
You're the one who said it was urgent. Why aren't you here yet?
You weren't followed, were you?
Geez, you're paranoid. Why would I be followed?
I'm in hot water, too, if you get caught.
So why would I do that?
Don't get me started.
There's a huge fuss over finding the guy who first brought the instructions.
You know I acknowledge your loyalty.
I recognized in prison that you live and die for loyalty.
Do you have the money?
I'll tell you what business it is when we meet, kid.
Geez, kid, you're impatient.
It has nothing to do with knock-offs this time.
- Stop right there! - Move!
Stop!
What the hell...?
Hey, back off!
Don't move!
Like you would!
Stop!
Stop right there!
Mr. Han, please look over there.
Okay, okay.
Where did he go?
Hello, Young-eun.
Director Ha, how are you these days?
Mom and I are both curious about you since you stopped coming.
Let me talk to him.
Hold on, I'll put on Mom.
Jae-bum, have you been well?
Will it be hard for Ga-eun to go back to work there?
Of course not. It's almost over, Mother.
I'll catch the person who did this to her and make sure she comes back to work.
Don't worry.
I know I can depend on you.
Stop by like before to have dinner and play card games with me.
Bye.
What did he say?
He hasn't given up on her yet, right?
Of course he hasn't.
He's not the type to turn away so easily from the person he loves.
You're right. He's definitely the devoted type.
There are guys like him and then there's Seo-jin who keeps trying to cheat.
Seriously.
It's always the dumb ones who study late into the night.
You came as soon as I told you where I was?
I see you can't survive a day without seeing me, can you?
What?
Don't flatter yourself.
I'm gracing you with my presence to ask about my sister.
Nice excuse.
It's not an excuse.
When can my sister return to work?
Who says she can?
Why are you sitting down? I can't work now.
Just leave if you're gonna sit there and stare.
I'm too busy for this.
Seo-jin, up close, you have huge pores.
And quite a mustache.
But don't worry, you're somewhat tolerable.
What the...? Get out.
Manager Maeng.
- What are you doing here? - What are you doing here?
Are you so glad to see me you're talking in unison?
I heard you hadn't left yet. I bought you some fresh juice.
Bottoms up. It should be quite refreshing.
Everything you say drips of ignorance.
It isn't like juice is alcohol.
"Bottoms up"?
Look here. Is there nothing to do at the store?
Why are you here instead of selling clothes in the store?
Why are you so concerned? I can handle my own business.
But speak for yourself.
You don't even work here. Why are you here being a bother?
I didn't bother anyone. You're the one who interrupted us.
You're so stupid, you can't even take a hint.
What did you say?
Both of you stop it already!
Manager Maeng!
The juice is no good warm. Drink it while it's cold.
It'll a good pick-me-up.
I'm fine...
Hey, what are you doing, you brat?
How refreshing.
You little...!
'You left me after making my heart weep like a strain of sad music'
'You left me, Mister Cho'
Mister Cho, how could you do this to me?
I loved you so much. Yet you betrayed me...
No, it was money that betrayed me, Mister Cho.
You're not at fault. It's all because of money.
'You left me alone with my love'
Honey, open the door.
I'm sorry.
At least drink your tonic.
I heated it up, so drink it now, please?
Honey, please open the door.
Honey!
Why are you acting like this?
You're the one who was caught with another woman.
Whoever took the picture, you were there.
I'm the one who should be pissed!
You think you did nothing wrong when you humiliated me at work like that?
I'm so ashamed I can't show my face in public.
It wasn't completely baseless.
What wife wouldn't do the same after she sees pictures like those?
You think I have the peace of mind to meet other women?
I lost the designer I wanted to recruit!
If you're not gonna help, the least you can do is not shame me.
You're driving me crazy, you hear?
Honey.
What's that? Did you cause trouble at Jung-woo's work?
Mother, you don't know anything.
What don't I know?
'You left me alone with my love, Mister Cho'
'You hateful person'
What a mother-daughter pair.
Give that here!
Why bother having Ga-eun bring it over? It's all gonna be wasted like this.
What? Ga-eun brought this over?
If you can't think to buy any, can't you let him drink the one Ga-eun brought?
Why can't you take care of your husband instead of nagging him all the time?
Ga-eun had that tonic brewed?
That little... I can't believe this.
'Like a strain of sad music'
'You went so very far away'
Will you stop it already! What is your problem?
Mi-ran.
When Mister Cho was hit with water, I felt a part of my heart break away.
The two things he can't bear are being hungry and not seeing me.
I feel so bad for Mister Cho.
Please.
If you feel so bad for him, why'd you send him away?
If you had kept him here, at least I wouldn't feel so nervous.
What if he gets caught while wandering around?
I couldn't do anything when your mother-in-law kicked him out.
Besides, I was pissed, too, because he clearly lost all the money.
What if he really starves to death?
Please call me first if he comes or contacts you.
Say who?
Oh, what a waste.
What did she...!
Oh, I'm so upset.
'You left me alone with my love'
What a load of crap.
Pack up this instant and get out of my house!
I'm not leaving!
What?
Ma'am.
Oh, oh, what are you doing?
Let's have a drink together.
We're all in the same boat called life. Isn't it tiring to be so uptight?
I'll be the bigger person and forgive you for kicking Mister Cho out.
So down this drink, okay?
Well, go on.
Geez, I'll die of frustration, I swear.
- Here. - Pour me another drink.
I can't bear with this while sober.
Why are you two teaming up to annoy me, huh?
Ugh, I'm so mad.
'You left me alone with my love'
Oh god, I'm gonna die.
I hear that passionate love gets old quick when you actually get with the guy.
Being married is a lifestyle, not just a romance.
Are you sick of me? You are, aren't you?
You weren't while we were dating, but you're sick of me now, huh?
That's why you think of Ga-eun so much.
You gonna start again?
Tell me the truth.
You drank the tonic knowing that she brought it.
Let's stop, please.
You've been thinking of her.
Isn't that why you want to recruit her? To keep her close?
That's all you can say after screwing my chances of hiring someone else?
Please, can't we stop? I'm tired of having this argument.
I won't let my family fall apart like Ga-eun wants.
After everything I did to marry you, I'm gonna have my happily ever after.
So honey, help me out here.
I'm going to do well. Really.
Go ahead. No one's stopping you.
Honey.
I won't ever lose to Ga-eun.
I won't let her get her way.
'If you ask what love is'
Mister Cho, Mister Cho.
'I'll say it's the seed of tears'
Mister Cho, Mister Cho.
Applause, applause.
You are really good. I had no idea you could be so fun.
I was the singing flower of the marketplace.
No one could best me when it came to singing.
Don't look down on me.
I see you were a delinquent as a student.
And you pretended to be all upright.
Hey, we're totally comrades.
Wh-wha...? Pretended to be upright?
What ya mean?
Don't you try to pigeonhole me.
Let me tell you, I lost my husband at the height of my youth.
And I haven't looked at another man yet.
How dare you try to group me with the likes of you?
Fine, whatever. You're not like me.
What's the big deal?
Besides, that's nothing to be proud of.
What?
If you stayed loyal to your dead husband, you only made yourself lonely.
My lifestyle is the way to go.
Go around hurting others if that's what you want.
I don't want for much. Just my kids, that's all.
I don't ask for much and yet Mi-ran is always displeasing me.
Don't want for much?
From what I've seen, you'd do anything for some greens.
Well, money is a given. I haven't met a person yet who hates money.
Even so, your money greed is excessive.
We don't get to live 100 years. Enjoy it while you can.
Sing a song once in a while and enjoy yourself.
Instead of coming up with ways to torture Mi-ran.
What?
You trying to mess with me because I cut you some slack?
You're not THAT drunk, are you?
Let's go in.
He may have known you were a Dream Star designer from the start.
Tell me what your work-related problem is.
'He already knew then that I was a Dream Star designer.'
Sometimes when tricks don't work, it's best to risk it and reveal your cards.
He's not known to be compassionate, but he likes new and interesting games.
Inviting me to the concert reveals his intent to keep watching what I do.
Hello.
What? Mr. Han and Director Ha chased after a man?
I see. What's his name?
Cho Yong-gab?
I see.
Keep watching the man that Mr. Han is after.
Jae-bum.
Did you have fun at the concert?
I did. Did you work late? Are things busy at work?
Yes, well, sort of.
What's with the half-hearted answer?
I'm home.
You're late.
Capt'n Yeo, can I get something refreshing?
Sure.
You rushed out to catch the culprit. Did you get him?
The culprit?
He seems within grasp but keeps eluding me.
- I almost had him today but lost him. - Kid, you're not a cop.
What if you get hurt?
Uncle, about the design leak.
There's a limit to what we can do.
We should get the police involved -
You said you're sure that it's an inside job.
Yes.
Then what happens when the police catch the culprit?
It'll be written about in the papers and we'll be the talk of the town.
Which will hurt our image and cause our stock value to drop.
Think it'll be better to catch him secretly and take care of the matter
or make it a public affair for everyone to see?
Which do you think is the better choice?
I get your point, but it's a fact that we're limited in our resources.
We have to let it go if we don't catch the culprit.
Uncle, I can't do that.
How can you take a business approach to everything?
A designer was accused unfairly and had to resign.
Don't people come before business?
It's not that I'm not concerned about people.
Try to see the bigger picture.
You're so caught up in this one person, you can't see all our other employees.
How do you expect to run the company someday being so softhearted?
This is a different matter.
If this is an inside job, we have to make sure this doesn't happen again.
For that, we have to punish the culprit and make an example of him.
Which means we have to handle this legally.
If we go the police for every little problem,
we'll just tarnish our image and lose credibility as a corporation.
I understand. I'll catch the culprit myself.
Jae-bum, your drink. Your drink...
He's still too soft. He has a lot of hardening up to do.
Ga-eun, don't worry. I'll catch the culprit no matter what.
I think I can go to your house tomorrow. Will I see you there?
YOO GA-EUN
Ga-eun.
Hello, sir.
Hi, Ga-eun. Have you been well?
You're not sick or -
I called you to talk about the design leak.
You don't need to worry. I'll catch the culprit for sure.
So don't try to solve it on your own -
I told you explicitly not to involve yourself anymore.
Things ended with my resignation.
So what are you doing?
Why are you going around meeting with Mr. Han?
How did you know I'm meeting with Mr. Han?
Director Ha, are you that bored?
Ga-eun.
I don't like that you're interfering in my business.
So please stop.
How many times do I have to tell you to stop?
Must you force me to be mean?
I'm hanging up.
Please stop, Jae-bum.
She's the late Chairman Yoo's eldest daughter.
Cho Yong-gab showed up on the radar?
Yeah. He must be broke. He was dressed like it.
After what he did, good riddance.
Mi-ran's mother came to my house a few days ago.
I think she came to fish for info.
She's got some nerve.
Why didn't I think of Mi-ran's mother sooner?
Yu-mi, I have a good idea.
What? You lost him?
How can you make him go into hiding, too?
He should've told us he was meeting his contact.
He caught on that we were ailing him and he disappeared.
That's why I told you to leave him alone and just watch him.
I'm sorry.
Now that we've lost this lead, how are we going to find his contact?
This line of work is all about connections. It'll take some time but we'll find him.
We don't have time. So please hurry.
'A tadpole at the stream gives a little wiggle'
Why'd you tempt me into drinking and suffering a worse headache?
Everything you do is of no help at all.
You're so good, Na-ri.
Oh, my head. It's ringing.
Why do people drink, huh?
It's a waste of money and it hurts the body.
It's good for nothing.
Grandma, did I sing well?
Na-ri, I totally think you got my singing gene.
Blood really does tell. Here's the proof right here.
My pretty Na-ri. Give Grandma a kiss.
You cutie-patootie.
- Grandma. - Yeah?
No one text messages me. Unless it's Mister Cho.
Goodness! Goodness!
It really is Mister Cho.
Baby, meet me just once. I'm dy ing here.
I'll be waiting at Dream Café.
Goodness, Mister Cho, you must be having a real hard time.
At least he hasn't starved to death.
Your call has been forwarded to...
Mi-ran, I looked too far when the real witnesses are so close.
