It's her, isn't it?
The Yoon Shi Wol that you couldn't forget...
even as you were dying.
That Yoon Shi Wol...
is Choi Kwang Il's wife,
isn't she?
You've got quite the imagination.
Just eat your noodles. Stop talking nonsense.
Are you asleep?
No.
Why do you think...
Mr. Oh isn't married?
When I saw him alone at the farm, I felt sorry for him.
Seeing how nice he is to Ji Min,
he must like children.
What do you think is going on...
with the woman who lives with him?
I think they're engaged. So why don't they just get married?
Are you listening?
Why do you care so much about other people's lives?
Aren't you curious?
No.
I am curious.
That person who was switched with you...
What do you think he's doing now?
Why are you suddenly asking about him?
I'm just curious.
Aren't you?
If that man shows up in front of you,
what will you do?
That won't happen.
How do you know that?
He died...
in a car accident 10 years ago.
Let's stop talking about that. I want to sleep.
What if he didn't die?
What will you do then?
I said stop.
I don't want to think about it.
Is this all we have to eat?
That's right.
I thought Mr. Hwang went shopping.
This is all he bought.
This is it.
This is it?
That miser went to the supermarket, and this is all he brought back.
Well... There was nothing to buy.
But I couldn't come home empty-handed.
That's why I bought these.
You know,
salty dried corvina is the best in the summer.
It's delicious if you eat it with rice in water.
Okay. Let's eat.
What's the point in having a lot of money?
He doesn't know how to spend it.
It's delicious. It is.
What are you waiting for? Eat.
It's delicious.
Okay.
It really is delicious.
- Right. Good. - Yes.
Eat up.
Eat what up?
There's only one.
You could've at least bought big ones.
There's no meat on this thing.
It'll just ruin my appetite. What is this?
Stop it.
This is why he's still single.
What woman in her right mind would want someone so stingy?
Mom.
Tae Yang, don't be like him.
Spend what you make. Okay?
Yes, ma'am.
Why did you do that?
I was bad...
even in your eyes, right?
Yes, that was a bit extreme.
I know how to make money,
but I don't know how to spend it.
I'm frustrated with myself too.
It drives me crazy.
So practice. Practice spending money.
- Practice? - Yes.
Just as it isn't easy to make money, neither is spending it.
So you need to practice spending money every day.
Then my fortune will get smaller.
I mean, do you really plant to take...
all that money to buy your way into the afterlife?
Go ahead.
But you'll regret it.
You'll wish you spent it all in this life,
and kick yourself for saving it.
Don't be so mean to Mr. Hwang.
He lived that way all his life.
I pity him so much.
Exactly. Why does he live like that?
His hands shake whenever he has to spend money.
It drives me mad, that's why.
He doesn't know how to spend money,
but when I couldn't go to college because we couldn't afford it,
he paid my tuition and called it a scholarship.
Sure.
If it weren't for Mr. Hwang, you wouldn't have attended college.
I was so grateful back then.
I never imagined that the Myeongdong's Scrooge...
would pay my tuition for me...
with no strings attached.
That's true.
Whatever the case may be, he is our savior.
He's the one that got us the spot in Myeongdong for the restaurant.
So why are you so rude to our savior?
Because I feel sorry for him.
I feel sorry for Mr. Hwang.
He's one of the richest men, but he lives like a beggar.
I pity him and it makes me mad.
You'll offer a put option?
Yes.
Isn't there...
another way?
No.
Unless we offer banks and financial investors...
a put option as a protective measure,
it'll be difficult to get the funds...
for the acquisition given the circumstances.
If we offer that,
will we get the funds without a problem?
No one will be able to refuse...
the terms that we are offering.
We have no choice.
- Proceed. - Yes, sir.
The Corporation has to come up with 800 million dollars.
Can we really handle it?
What choice do we have?
We have the biggest reserve among the companies,
so we'll have to get it together somehow.
Why?
I wonder if we really must go this far...
to acquire Construction.
Don't you feel the same?
I do,
but what can we do?
The die is cast.
We'll have to leave it to fate.
Here's our contingency plan.
You've added a put option.
Yes. I'm sure that will be enough...
to relieve the concern that you have.
Fine.
We'll invest.
Sun Holdings agreed to invest.
Now that they have the funds for the acquisition,
they've pretty much succeeded 90 percent...
in acquiring Yangji Construction.
I got it. You may go.
Yes, sir.
We came out the big loser.
Kwang Il will be the successor for sure...
since he won over the acquisition,
and you'll be treated like some rebel...
who sabotaged your grandfather's long-cherished ambition.
This is all Ji Eun...
I don't want to see Ji Eun for the time being,
so tell her to go to her parents' or something.
Father.
Just seeing her face makes my blood pressure spike.
You know I have high blood pressure.
I've heard a lot about you.
We finally meet.
I know.
I hear you've set up many children of conglomerate families.
That's right. I'm responsible for many marriages...
that are important.
The Daesong family's wedding was also your doing, right?
Yes.
I arranged a match for Chairman Hong's first daughter.
Then you must know about their family situation...
better than anyone.
Yes.
Well, pretty much.
You know our daughter-in-law, don't you?
She's Chairman Hong's third daughter.
That's right.
She's Chairman Hong's third daughter.
That's our daughter-in-law.
It's a bit awkward to say,
but let me be blunt.
Sure. Go ahead.
Please look into our daughter-in-law, Hong Ji Eun.
Please look into her.
Why do you want me to do that?
There's something we just can't understand.
I want to find out whether there's something...
they're not telling us.
I understand what you mean.
You're quick, as I expected.
I couldn't survive in this industry otherwise.
People need to be quick, isn't that right?
You know, my son is a high school senior.
He sits at his desk all day long studying,
so he complains that his back hurts.
I was thinking of getting him a new bed.
Really?
Do you want to try this out? It'll be a gift for you.
Really?
Try lying down.
- Here. - Okay.
- I'll turn it on. - Okay.
It feels really good.
Right?
What brings you here out of the blue?
I wanted to see if my money...
was safe and well.
As you can see, it's safe and well...
under the Buddha's feet.
Is that what you came to check?
Give me some tea.
They say money is meant to circulate.
So if you want to make more money, spend it,
so that the money can circulate.
Wait. If I spend money,
I'll get more money?
Of course.
With it hidden under the Buddha's feet,
how could your money do its part?
It needs to circulate.
Wait. Do you mean it?
The more I spend, the more I'll make?
That's right.
No way. I doubt that.
Anyway, I have a question about Tae Yang.
Do you know anything about Tae Yang's past...
that I don't know about?
I don't know. Nothing particularly.
Not that I can think of.
Why do you want to know about his past?
Why do you ask about Tae Yang's past?
He's so much like someone that I know.
What?
And who is that?
Just someone.
It's someone whom I had completely forgotten about for a while,
but Tae Yang reminded me of him a few days ago.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I've tried very hard to erase him from my memory,
and I thought I had succeeded,
but all of it went up in smoke.
What are you talking about?
(Sun Holdings' Investment Letter of Intent Delivery Ceremony)
(CEO Oh Tae Yang)
(Yangji Group)
Yes, sir. Okay.
What did they say?
It's been confirmed.
We're the new owners of Yangji Construction.
Congratulations.
Okay. Great work.
What did they say?
We got it back.
We finally got it back.
Congratulations, sir.
Congratulations, Father.
Gosh. Now that I got Construction back, which we had lost,
I got my wish.
Are you that happy?
Naturally.
Construction is Yangji's first company.
Imagine how bitter I've been...
after losing that.
Now that I attained my long-cherished desire,
all that's left is for Kwang Il...
to take over as the head of the company.
Then I can die without regrets.
Chairman Jang finally got what he wished for.
But as soon as it was decided, our stock price fell.
I don't know if it calls for a celebration.
Are you listening?
Ms. Yoon.
What?
What are you thinking about?
Sorry. What did you say?
You were thinking about the man next door, right?
The one who looks like Yoo Wol.
Please wake up from your delusion.
Yoo Wol's dead. Get it together.
He is Yoo Wol.
Shi Wol.
I confirmed it.
Oh Tae Yang is Kim Yoo Wol, who I thought he was dead.
For real?
Yes.
That's crazy. How could Oh Tae Yang, the CEO of Sun Holdings, be Yoo Wol?
This is like something straight out of a movie.
That means he's living with a fake identity.
Why? For what?
I think he's trying to get revenge on me.
Revenge on you?
Why would he do that?
Because he must think I betrayed him.
Are you saying he moved in next door to you...
and invested in this acquisition...
just to get revenge on you?
I think so.
That's not right.
He's the reason you married Choi Kwang Il.
Go tell him. Clear up the misunderstanding.
Should I tell him for you?
- Don't do it. - Why not?
I'll be the one to tell him,
so stay out of it.
True. A third party shouldn't get involved.
I need to get some air.
She's in trouble if she tells him...
and even if she doesn't.
What will she do now?
- Hello. - Hello.
- One Americano, please. - Okay.
- Here's your coffee. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Hello.
We keep running into each other since our offices are close.
Right.
Are you waiting for someone?
No.
I work here now and then because the office is too stuffy.
If you don't mind, may I join you for a few minutes?
Yes, please.
What is it?
Do you want to say I resemble someone again?
No.
I won't say that anymore.
I'm glad.
Ironically, as soon as they decided we'd acquire Yangji Construction,
our stock prices started to fall.
To be honest, I still don't understand...
why you invested in us.
What are you trying to say this time?
You're trying to get revenge on me, right?
That's why...
I simply invest according to my own rules.
I concluded it would be profitable.
That's why I invested.
I don't understand why that's a problem.
Actually, I don't understand you.
I wonder with whom.
What's wrong?
Don't those two...
look like they knew each other from before?
What do you mean? He would've told us then.
Then...
why does it look that way to me?
How does it look to you?
Like...
they loved each other a lot in the past.
Watch what you say.
Ms. Yoon is a married woman.
Let's go.
You go first.
I'm going to take a walk.
Fine. See you later.
You know about the curse of the victor, right?
Although they win the competition,
they fall into danger because they had spent...
too much in order to win.
You think the takeover of Yangji Construction...
will be a curse of the victor, I see.
That's right.
You're more pessimistic than you look.
I'm surprised.
How do I look to you?
How would I know what you're like?
We only just met.
However,
I did think you were very ambitious.
Me?
Yes.
Why did you think that?
You went from Yangji Group's employee to where you are today.
Not anyone could accomplish that.
People who are very ambitious...
will do anything to gain success.
For example,
betraying the person they love, things like that.
People like that aren't pessimistic about life.
They look at life...
the way they want it to be.
Are you saying I do that?
No, not particularly.
I just...
My apologies if I've offended you.
The curse of the victor isn't limited...
to the mergers and acquisitions industry.
It happens in our lives as well.
What do you mean by that?
I feel like you are wasting your energy...
on a completely unnecessary competition.
- Me? - Yes.
I'm saying...
if we're ruined, you may be ruined as well.
Are you worrying about me?
I'm warning you...
not to do that anymore.
If you'll excuse me.
How's Ji Min doing?
He doesn't come over anymore.
He's very busy.
Please tell him I miss him,
and to come over and play whenever he has time.
Not Ji Min.
Don't touch Ji Min.
I will.
So she was Yoon Shi Wol.
That's why he moved in next door.
I had no idea, and...
Are you serious?
Okay.
Thank you, Ms. Kim.
My gosh. What do they take us for?
How could this happen?
How?
Mother, I'm home.
What's wrong?
You.
You!
Mother.
Chairman Hong Suk Ho's third daughter, Hong Ji Eun!
You're an illegitimate child?
You're the child he had with his secretary?
And you hid that from us and married into our family?
How did you...
What did you take us for?
How could you do that to us?
Get back here!
What? Are you sure?
That's right. This is marriage fraud.
We were scammed by Daesong.
No wonder.
Now, things are finally making sense.
When I think about how that brat Ji Eun treated us...
Isn't this insane?
I'm speechless.
I understand why Chairman Hong sent Ji Eun to us.
And why is that?
Are you saying it's because of me?
Birds of a feather,
misery loves company, things like that. Don't you agree?
Honey!
Anyway, what will we do about them now?
What else? We need to get them divorced.
Divorced?
That's right, divorced.
You did great, Kwang Il.
Please don't mention it.
Now that we acquired Construction,
Yangji is now...
the 20th largest conglomerate in the country.
It'll be that much more work for all of you.
It should go up more.
- More? - Yes.
I promise...
to bring Yangji Group within the top 10 largest conglomerates...
in your lifetime.
We're busy catching our breath after going up seven spots.
Don't be too greedy.
You need to row while the tide is in.
We should row hard right now.
Father.
Okay.
How do you plan to row?
Well, now that we have Construction,
I'm sure distribution will go up.
So I'm thinking of acquiring a distribution company.
Acquire another company?
Yes. Construction is one thing,
but for Kwang Il's sake,
we must acquire a distribution company.
Actually,
a company perfect for our needs is on the market.
Which company?
It's called Shinsung Express.
It's a small distribution company in the suburbs.
If Yangji Logis were to acquire Shinsung Express,
it would probably resolve the problem...
surrounding his shares.
That's a great idea.
Kwang Il, you take care of this.
You can do it, right?
Yes, sir. We'll acquire it.
Ms. Yoon?
Yes?
Just a minute.
Excuse me for a minute.
- Ji Min did that? - Yes.
I have no excuse to give him to stop him anymore.
You'll have to talk to him yourself.
But why are you so adamant about not letting him go?
Ji Min wants to go so badly.
Did something bad happen with Mr. Oh?
There's nothing like that.
I'll talk to Ji Min.
If there's nothing like that, why is she being that way?
Why do you keep insisting on going there?
Because I want to play with Mr. Oh.
Is Mr. Oh your friend?
- Yes. - What?
I can talk to him about anything, and he gets me.
That makes him my friend.
He said to come over whenever I want.
Why won't you let me?
He was just being polite.
That's how adults are.
They say things they don't mean just to be polite.
He really doesn't have time to play with you.
I told you...
not to be a nuisance to other people.
You're really disappointing me.
You'll do as I say, right?
Okay.
Thank you for listening to me.
I'm sorry, Ji Min.
Please forgive me.
You want us to move out? Why?
What will people think of us?
It must look weird that we live here...
when we're not even family.
Since when did you care what other people think?
What got into you?
Plus, you can't even leave the house.
It's like you're in prison.
It's not like we don't have a home.
Let's go back.
Look at this brat.
Why did I close a successful restaurant to move in here?
It was for you.
To get you and Tae Yang together.
Stop being stupid.
We're not like peanut butter and jelly...
that you can just put in a sandwich together.
You brat. At least peanut butter has jelly and vice versa.
How long will you live alone without a partner?
Enough already! Stop it, will you?
Did Tae Yang say he doesn't like you?
That's right. He said he doesn't like me. Satisfied?
I made some food. Come out and eat.
I haven't cooked in a while, so I don't know how good it is.
My gosh. It looks absolutely delicious.
Look how juicy it looks.
Enjoy.
Okay.
What got into you?
Why did you cook for us?
I've been busy lately, that's all.
I enjoy cooking.
I'll cook for you more often.
You will?
But we're moving out.
You're moving out?
Why? That's so sudden.
Why else?
Tae Yang seems to find us uncomfortable to be around,
so we should leave.
I do not.
You shouldn't be like that.
Duk Shil...
Ouch!
That hurts, you brat.
Just eat.
Don't say anything.
Fine, I won't.
Eat. Let's all eat.
Consider it our last supper.
I have indigestion because I had pasta for lunch.
Sorry.
I know you worked hard to prepare this.
Are you okay? Do you want a digestive medicine?
No, I have.
I'll excuse myself.
Don't mind me. Just eat.
(A Place in the Sun)
The Yangji Construction M and A ended not long ago.
Isn't it too much soon?
You dragged me here against my will.
Why are you being like that?
Stop confusing me.
Sorry for misunderstanding you all this time.
I didn't know you cared so much about Kwang Il.
I think Duk Shil figured it out about you and Shi Wol.
What will you do now?
- Duk Shil. - What are you doing here?
Tae Yang.
Actually, I'm...
