(Episode 99)
(Legal Manager Choi Ho Jin)
Mr. Choi.
Why do you...
Why do you have this photo?
Mr. Choi.
Are you the guy who stalked Yeon Su?
Oh, this is mine.
I left this here.
- It's yours? - Yes.
Your wedding photo turned out so nice.
That's why I kept this.
I was wondering where it was. I had no idea I had left it here.
- Is it really yours? - Yes, I told you.
I guess it was inside one of the reports.
Mr. Choi, I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions.
It's all right.
Try to understand. I'm not in my right mind these days.
Don't worry about it.
I won't keep you from work.
See you.
Why did you lie to him?
Well, I just felt like I should.
Min Hyuk knows nothing about your relationship with Yeon Su.
If he finds out, he'll go bonkers.
Their marriage has been suffering since he found out...
that Yeon Su had a kid.
Thank you.
By the way,
he called you a stalker. What did he mean by that?
What was he saying?
And why do you have this photo?
Don't tell me you still have feelings for...
- No, it's not that. - Then what's the reason?
I don't understand some things that you do.
(Director of Strategy Han Min Hyuk)
Could Mr. Choi actually be...
(Shim Moon Woo)
(Director Han Min Hyuk)
Hello?
Hello, Mr. Shim. It's me, Han Min Hyuk.
Hey, it's been a while. What's up?
There's something I want to ask you.
You said Mr. Choi...
used to work at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
Yes, that's right.
Did Mr. Choi ask you to recommend him...
so that he could join Noyu?
No, I recommended him of my own accord.
He's so capable that I thought you'd really need him.
So he didn't ask you to do it?
What are you talking about? What's the matter?
Well, it's nothing. Let's meet up soon.
Was I completely wrong, then?
Thank you for that.
All I did was tell him what you had asked me to say.
What's going on? Are you having problems with Director Han?
I'll tell you in person later on.
Okay, bye.
(Legal Manager Choi Ho Jin)
What? You'll manage the distribution center?
How could your father do this?
Father is ruthless.
Director Park assisted him for over 30 years.
How could he do this to him?
He wants Director Park to resign.
You'll start working there next week?
Yes.
Hang in there, Director Park.
I'll make sure you can get your job back soon.
Don't worry too much about me.
Director Park got demoted.
I was expecting something worse. He deserves to get fired.
He's been with the company for decades,
so firing him won't be easy.
We must find out who the puppet masters are.
I'll continue to track Kwon An Ja down.
All right.
So Won, we're meeting with my friends and their wives today.
Everyone is so excited to meet you.
To be honest, I'm a little worried.
I'm sure they're all from powerful, wealthy families.
I think you're the most wonderful and inspiring one of them all.
You have no reason to be intimidated.
You're right.
I'm Choi So Won. I won't be intimidated.
Director Park, that jerk...
How could he do such a thing?
You're late. What took you so long?
- I'm sorry. - An apology won't cut it.
How could you do such a thing?
You caused so much trouble for my kids...
by starting the fire at the factory.
And this time, you set them up to slander them?
I'm paying for it now.
You'll manage the warehouse. That's nothing.
My daughter almost went to jail.
If I were the chairman of the company, I'd fire you.
You're right. I have nothing to say.
Leave. I can't even stand the sight of you.
Okay. I'll be off, then.
He seems so disheartened.
He's a good-looking man. Why can't he live a decent life?
He can't be the one who sent me the purse.
I'm sure it's not Director Park.
Then who did it?
Hello.
- Is that for your girlfriend? - No, no.
I got a call from the department store about this free gift,
so I went and picked it up. I'll give this to the chairman.
Did he buy something?
He recently bought a purse from Danel's new collection.
I see.
I'm home.
Mother, did you get the purse from Father yet?
What purse?
I heard he recently bought a purse from Danel.
Mr. Jeong told me.
- Danel? - Yes.
Dan Shil has a knockoff Danel purse.
You see, Dan Shil...
She came by earlier with her knockoff purse.
She has no shame.
Did he...
What's up? Can't you knock?
Honey, did you buy a purse for Dan Shil? From Danel.
- Yes, I did. - You actually bought her a purse?
That purse is very expensive. Why did you buy that for her?
What's wrong with buying it for our in-law as a gift?
What?
For my birthday, you just bought me a weird-looking bag.
I can't believe you got her a purse from Danel.
Don't make such a big fuss over nothing.
But...
We all went to HY University.
All of us studied in the US.
What about you? Where did you go to school?
In Korea.
I guess you went to Hanguk University.
What did you major in?
Oh, no. Not Hanguk University.
- I see. - My gosh.
Is this a job interview or what?
So Won, do you want another glass of wine?
Sure.
You should have some too. You like this wine, Jae Hyuk.
- Let's drink. - Cheers.
It's so nice to see all of you. Let's meet up often.
- Sounds good. - Oh, right.
By the way, how's Chloe doing these days?
Let's not talk about her.
She went on a blind date with Jae Hyuk, but he rejected her.
He rejected Chloe for her?
- My goodness. - Why are you talking in French?
Well, we just didn't want to make your wife uncomfortable.
- Why would you say that? - My gosh.
Was that rude?
Do you speak French?
No, I don't.
- I see. - We were talking about Jae Hyuk...
rejecting Chloe when he went on a blind date with her.
I see.
Chloe? Isn't that Jung Mi Yeon?
- Did she go to our school too? - No.
She studied music at the Uilliard School.
They met through the blind date.
She liked you, Jae Hyuk.
We all thought you'd marry her.
If you did, this get-together would be so much more fun.
- I agree. - Right.
Jae Hyuk, you were always so popular among girls.
Even I fell for him the second I met him.
Right, I give him that.
That reminds me.
We had brunch at that cafe in front of our school...
so often, you know?
Yes, that's right!
Whenever we wanted to listen to jazz, we flew to New Orleans...
and soaked up jazz music.
Then we went to Cafe le Monde...
and enjoyed their eggs benedict.
It was so good.
I still remember their frozen cafe au lait.
- And the jambalaya there. - Totally.
Jae Hyuk, you used to love it too.
- Let's call it a night. - What? Already?
We should go for another round.
No, I'm tired.
So Won, let's go home.
Well, we should leave with everyone.
Let's just go.
See you guys next time.
Ho Jin, these are Mr. Seo's.
- Take these to his room. - Sure.
Ms. Song patched up all the holes for him.
Mom, why did you do that? Tell him to do it himself.
He pays rent, you know.
People will say nothing good about us...
if our tenant is shabbily dressed.
It took me no time.
What's with you guys? It was nothing.
Go on. Take them to his room.
Hello, are you there?
- What is it? - I have your clean laundry.
Just leave it there.
Open up, please.
I told you to just leave it there.
What's with him?
So Won.
Earlier with my friends...
It must've been so uncomfortable.
Yes.
Frankly, I felt like they live in a completely different world.
I'm sorry.
You had to leave early because of me.
No, it wasn't because of you.
I hadn't seen them in a while, so it was kind of awkward.
And it wasn't really fun.
I mean it.
(3H Acupressure Beds)
You're unbelievable.
Why are you trying to pick a fight?
What did you say to my husband...
to make him buy you a purse that costs thousands of dollars?
What? Who bought me a purse?
Don't act all surprised.
My husband bought you this purse.
Chairman Han?
Don't play dumb.
You knew about it.
No, I really didn't know.
A courier dropped it off,
so I was wondering who sent this to me.
It was Chairman Han?
I have to say,
you're a total gold digger.
What? "Gold digger"?
Yes, you are.
Director Park asked me not to fire you,
and my husband bought you this designer purse behind my back.
You act all naive, but you're incredibly sly.
What is wrong with you?
Hey, watch your words.
Am I wrong?
Right. Your daughter seduced Jae Hyuk...
and even married him, so I should've known.
Like mother, like daughter.
Watch your conduct, okay?
- Hey! - What?
How dare you!
Hold on.
Why did Chairman Han buy me such an expensive purse?
You managed to clear your name,
but the company suffered significant damage because of it.
You can't deny that you could've taken better care of it.
You should've been more careful.
Yes. I do apologize for that.
We'll keep an eye on how things go.
Let's go.
Get back safely.
Come in.
- Aunt Yu Jin. - Jae Hyuk.
- Here's the revised design. - Thanks.
You seem a little down. Are you worried about something?
Well, Dad recently asked me to take over his position.
He did?
So? What did you say?
I told him that I'm not interested.
I'm not attached to the company, and I'm certainly not greedy.
Then what's the problem?
I'm worried.
Min Hyuk got the board members on his side...
by using unfair means to make sure he can inherit the company.
Yes, I've figured out that much.
Hwa Ran probably helped him.
Yes. To tell you the truth, she even created a slush fund...
through the gallery.
She probably got the board members on her side using that money.
What?
Then we should tell Tae Seok right away.
No, not now.
Min Hyuk is threatening me that he'd tell Dad...
all about the fact that So Won and Eun Hye are sisters.
What?
- How could... - Aunt Yu Jin.
I'll make sure Min Hyuk can't inherit the company.
Dad devoted all his life to growing Noyu.
I can't let it fall into the hands of someone who'd do anything...
to achieve his goals, even if that's my brother.
Yes, I agree with you.
Jae Hyuk.
Why don't you meet with Assemblyman Jung?
- Assemblyman Jung? - Yes.
All the board members confide in Director Song, you know.
Many people are fond of him.
Director Song and Assemblyman Jung are best friends.
- Really? - Listen. You do owe him...
an apology regarding what happened with Jung Mi Yeon.
You should formally apologize to him anyway,
so meet up with him and ask him for help.
Sir, I can't accept this because I know my place.
Pardon me?
I've never owned such an expensive purse.
I've never even wanted one.
This is way too luxurious for me.
Gosh, don't say that. I just wanted to...
I know. I know how you feel, sir.
Still, I cannot accept this.
I didn't do anything and don't feel like I deserve this.
Please don't say that.
You raised So Won so well.
And for that reason, you most certainly deserve this.
I'd like to express my gratitude, so please accept it.
Still, I don't want to upset Hwa Ran.
If you don't accept it, I'll be embarrassed.
Sir.
As you know, So Won volunteered...
to take the fall for Jae Hyuk.
You raised her,
so I wanted to express...
my gratitude and guilt. That's why I got it for you.
So please accept it.
I don't know what to do.
Then I'll accept it with a grateful heart.
Great.
Yes, I'll meet you there.
Ms. Ko, I'll go to the meeting and call it a day.
Sure.
Ms. Hwang, are you dizzy?
Yes, a little.
You haven't really been eating.
Maybe you're anemic.
You weren't in your office. Where are you?
I was about to call you.
I stepped out to meet someone.
Who?
Assemblyman Jung.
Why are you meeting with him?
Because of work.
All right. I hope the meeting goes well.
Thanks.
Mi Yeon.
You're here to see my dad, right?
Yes.
My father had to take care of an urgent matter,
so I came in his place.
I suppose he still has hard feelings against me.
Yes, I hope this doesn't upset you.
No, it's all good.
I wanted to see you again, even just once.
I was curious about who you married after rejecting me,
but I heard she even has a kid.
Oh, don't get the wrong idea.
I'm not criticizing you. Rather, I have big respect for you.
You must truly love her.
I was right about you.
You're a wonderful person.
I'll try to persuade my dad.
Thank you.
Hey, do you know who Jae Hyuk is with right now?
What is this about now?
I know who he's with. I have to go.
I saw him with Jung Mi Yeon.
I guess you didn't know. You're all quiet.
I knew.
They looked so affectionate toward each other. Did you know that too?
I'm busy. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense.
I have to go.
(Hwang Yeon Su)
They looked so lovely together.
What is this about?
I figured you should know what your husband is up to.
You two got married only a little while ago.
You should've been good to him.
How much longer will you keep up with these childish antics?
You need a reality check.
Do you think Jae Hyuk will be different?
Now that he's been married to you for a little while,
he's regretting rejecting Jung Mi Yeon.
Hwa Ran, what on earth did you say to Ms. Song?
Why do you ask?
She stopped by my office to return the purse.
I hope you didn't say anything inappropriate.
I guess she has a conscience after all.
Look.
How could I not say anything?
I don't understand why you did it, and she's just unbelievable.
I mean, how could she accept it?
She had the same purse every time I saw her.
That's why I bought it for her.
It's not a big deal. Why did you have to run your mouth like that?
When did I run my mouth?
Don't you know that So Won took the fall for Jae Hyuk?
She did such a great job of raising So Won.
I can't even buy her a purse to thank her?
You could've asked me to take care of it.
Why do it yourself? You really didn't have to.
Enough!
Where is the purse?
What do you mean? I told her to take it back.
Anyway, you'd better not run your mouth like that again.
So she reaps all the benefit, and I get criticized for everything.
She's a pro.
- Hey, So Won. - You're home.
- Assemblyman Jung... - Everything went well.
What's wrong?
Why are you lying to me?
I know you met Jung Mi Yeon.
How did you know?
Why did you lie?
Well... I didn't want you to get the wrong idea.
I'm sure you had a reason to meet with her.
Of course, I'd understand. I can't believe you lied about it.
So Won.
What did he say? Why did he meet with Jung Mi Yeon?
Wait, did he tell you that he was meeting with Assemblyman Jung?
I guess you want to drive a wedge between us.
If you have time for this, keep an eye on your husband.
What did you say?
Your husband is always out and about...
because he's sick of you. Try to win him back, okay?
- What are you doing, Ha Eun? - I'm keeping a diary.
I see.
Mom, what's wrong?
What?
You look sad. Did something happen?
Did Grandma yell at you?
Or did you and Aunt Yeon Su fight?
No, we didn't.
Just tell Dad. He's always on your side, you know.
Shall I tell him for you?
Don't.
I don't want to see him right now.
Did you two fight?
No, we didn't.
I need to recharge. Come here. Quick.
My gosh.
My sweet pumpkin.
What would I have done without you?
You're Pumpkin's mom.
What?
Gosh, you silly goose.
I feel much better now.
- I'm home. - Hi, come on in.
My gosh, these are traditional cookies.
Did you make these?
Yes, it took me all day. I made them for Chairman Han.
What?
Turns out, he was the one who sent me that purse.
- My brother? - That's right.
He said he wanted to thank me for raising So Won so well,
which is incredibly sweet.
I see.
So I accepted the purse with a grateful heart.
Since I raised my daughter well,
I'm going to think I deserve that expensive purse.
- I can do that, right? - Of course.
You definitely deserve that purse and more.
Thank you.
Can you drop this off at his office tomorrow?
Don't they taste the best when they're eaten right away?
Shall I drop them off at his place now?
That'd be even better.
Look! It's so beautiful.
Look at this.
Over here too.
- Daddy, do the swing. - The swing? All right.
- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
- Be careful. - One more time?
- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
- Isn't it fun? - What should we eat?
- Let's go. - What do you feel like eating?
Hey, Ha Eun.
Hi, Uncle Ho Jin. What are you up to?
I'm on my way home.
I miss you.
I miss you too.
I miss you a lot, Ha Eun.
This is...
What is this?
Are you having an affair?
Is it that woman I saw? Madame Jeong?
No, don't get the wrong idea.
Then what is this on your shirt?
What is going on?
How far have you gone with her? How serious is it?
Gosh, what do you take me for?
What is this, then?
She rested her head on my shoulder for a moment.
Why are you causing such a fuss over nothing?
Min Hyuk.
How could you do this to me?
Do you really have the right to do this to me?
Do you have the right to interrogate me like this?
You're at it again?
How much longer will you keep this up?
Do I have to keep begging you to forgive me?
My blood boils whenever I think about it.
When I think about how you deceived me,
I get fuming mad, and it drives me crazy.
All the things you said and did...
You probably did all of that with that jerk too.
Thinking about it drives me crazy.
Do you realize that?
Min Hyuk.
Don't be like this, please.
Can't you see that I'm trying?
What more can I do?
Stop trying, okay? Don't do anything.
Even if you try, nothing will change.
Min Hyuk, wait.
Why did I come here?
Ha Eun.
Daddy is here.
Min Hyuk. Min Hyuk!
(Bad Love)
Gosh, why do I have so much on my mind?
Ho Jin would never do that.
When it comes to relationships, you just never know.
Nothing happened between you and Yeon Su, right?
It just bothers me a little.
Stop confusing Mr. Choi.
- Are you threatened by me? - What?
What's this photo?
Yeon Su took that photo years ago.
- Aunt Yu Jin, you knew too? - Will you divorce her?
It's between the two of us, so we'll figure out what to do.
I just got home, but the door was open.
- And Ha Eun is not here. - What?
I'm going to kill you.
How could you do that? How dare you do such a thing?
