(Episode 30)
Goodness.
You must be tired.
From what?
I didn't do anything.
Anyway, I didn't eat much...
because I was busy tending to the guests.
I'm hungry.
Do we have anything to eat?
Of course, we do. Come with me.
Okay.
Would you like a drink?
Sounds good.
We should drink on a day like this.
You're sad, right?
Now that Duk Shil's married.
Why would be I sad?
I feel like a weight has been lifted.
Anyway, you did great raising her.
Here. Let's drink to that.
Sure.
- I'm going to drink today. - Good.
Here's to Tae Yang and Duk Shil.
Cheers.
Anyway,
Tae Yang really is amazing.
Politics, media, finance, and so on.
Top people from all industries lined up to congratulate him.
I know.
I only found out today how great a man...
my son-in-law was.
But you know...
How could Mr. Jung be so cold?
I'm hurt enough that he refused to find us a wedding date.
How could he not come to the wedding itself?
The thing is, Mr. Jung...
has a long and deep relationship with Chairman Jang's family.
If he says he knows Tae Yang,
they may get the wrong idea.
I think that's why he didn't come.
He has a long and deep relationship with Chairman Jang's family?
That's right.
This house, for one.
Chairman Jang had dibs on this house that Tae Yang bought...
because he wanted to buy it...
for his grandson years ago.
But Tae Yang went and bought it,
so he was very angry.
His grandson?
Chairman Choi Tae Joon's son.
If their land is like a dragon's head,
this land that Tae Yang bought...
is like the eye of the head...
of the dragon.
This land is the land for a king.
That greedy jerk Jang...
had that land for a king taken away right in front of him.
Imagine how angry he was.
I was so happy when I heard.
Did Tae Yang buy it, knowing that?
What? No, I don't think so.
Tae Yang bought this house...
and then asked Mr. Jung about the land.
Then this house which Tae Yang bought by coincidence,
turned out to be on the land for a king?
That's right. That's why he's meant for greatness.
Then what about Chairman Jang's grandson?
Maybe that's why he's made nothing of himself.
Kwang Il was born...
on the date and time that Mr. Jung told them,
but he's been failing in every business he runs,
instead of being a king.
He had a good birth date and time fated for success,
but I think it's because he doesn't have the land.
That's silly.
It's true.
Tae Yang is successful in everything he does...
because yes, he's talented,
but I think it's thanks to this house.
Don't be silly.
I'm right.
I'm living proof.
My office in Myeongdong.
Mr. Jung chose that for me.
Ever since I got that land,
I started to make good money.
You know that.
Anyway,
why did the kids go to New York on their honeymoon?
How would I know?
How was the wedding?
It was nice.
Nice?
The groom was solemn,
and the bride was jumping for joy all by herself.
Really?
It looked like Kwang Il's wedding.
What was his wedding like?
The thing is...
it looked just like today's wedding.
Kwang Il was so happy, he was grinning ear to ear.
But Shi Wol looked like she was being dragged to slaughter.
She looked miserable all throughout the wedding...
How could you say that?
It's true.
People talked so much about it afterward.
Plus, the day they got married was the day of the IMF crisis.
People complained so much that they got married...
on the day the nation went bankrupt of all days.
What matters is they're happy now.
Why are you bringing up the past?
How do you know whether or not they're happy now?
What?
No one knows what's really happening between a couple.
So you should tell them to have another child.
People gossip because they don't have kids.
Anyway, why is it...
that she isn't getting pregnant?
Is it she can't or won't?
I'm...
pregnant.
What did you just say?
I'm pregnant with our second.
Are you sure?
Honey.
Maybe she can't.
I mean, it's been 10 years since Ji Min was born.
Grandfather! Grandfather.
What?
Ji Min's finally getting a younger sibling.
Are you sure?
Yes. She already saw a doctor.
Hey! This Jang Wol Chun finally...
got another grandchild!
My gosh.
How was the trip?
Don't get me started. All he did was work, work, work...
even on our honeymoon.
It wasn't a honeymoon, but a business trip.
Sorry.
Didn't you know your husband was a busy man when you married him?
It's because he works so hard that he's so successful.
My husband?
If he isn't your husband, what is he, my husband?
I know mothers-in-law love their sons-in-law,
but you're going overboard.
You go on a honeymoon only once in your lifetime.
You jerk.
I was terribly wrong.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
That's fine.
I need to tell you something.
Come with me.
- Excuse me. - Okay.
Nothing happened, right?
What could happen?
I was just saying that. I had a great time.
How do you feel?
You know I'm strong just like you.
Don't worry.
Still, you should always be careful.
Enough already. I'm being careful.
What Mr. Jung said keeps nagging at me.
It's your first baby at a late age. I'm afraid something may go wrong.
Don't worry.
Everything's fine.
What is it?
I'll buy shares...
in Shinsung Express.
You said you weren't interested.
I wasn't, but I changed my mind.
Why?
That jerk Jang Wol Chun is despicable,
that's why.
I saw that jerk at your wedding.
Gosh.
Long time no see.
Regardless, this is a happy day,
so thank you for coming.
That's right.
It is a happy day indeed.
Congratulations.
He acted like nothing had happened...
and walked off.
No apology or anything.
Is that why you changed your mind?
That's right.
I'm going to get my money back 10, 20 fold.
The money that jerk took from me.
Go right ahead.
I'll buy as much as I can.
Got it?
Okay.
Anyway,
are you sure you won't regret it?
Yes.
I've made up my mind.
I can't understand you.
Anyway,
what did you do when you were in New York?
Doesn't your head hurt?
What?
Why do you keep reading those boring and difficult loan papers?
You must be the only person in the world...
who reads that cover to cover.
There's one other person.
Who?
The lawyer who wrote it.
What kind of loan is it that you're reading it so carefully?
A mortgage.
Mortgage? Why are you reading that?
It's a subprime mortgage.
I think there's a problem.
What kind of problem?
It's a bit complicated. I'll explain later.
I don't want to listen to anything too complicated right now anyway.
It's not good for the baby.
Sure. It's best you don't know.
It's total garbage.
- Garbage? - Yes.
These loans are all garbage.
What? Why are they garbage?
It's best you don't know.
Think about the baby.
That's right. I should see and hear...
only good things. Don't tell me.
Which is why...
I have a favor to ask.
Don't try to get revenge anymore.
Whether it's on Shi Wol or Yangji.
You're going to be a dad now.
Let's show only good things for our baby.
Hating someone and getting revenge...
I hate seeing you do that.
For our child. Please.
Do that for our baby.
Okay.
Really?
Yes. For our baby,
as you say.
You can't fire an auditor during an audit!
If this gets out,
it won't be just Steel. The entire group will go under.
It's me.
Get out of there right now.
They're headed there now to get you.
Get him.
Stop right there!
Stop!
Sorry, Duk Shil.
I can give up on my love,
but not my revenge.
So,
how much will you put down for the Shinsung acquisition?
We have no idea how much Sun Holdings will offer.
Yes. Shinsung keeps increasing the price...
because of Sun Holdings' interest.
We can't afford to buy it for a high price like Yangji Construction,
so we're trying to figure it out.
I knew I didn't like it from day one when that punk Oh Tae Yang...
moved in next door to us.
Anyway,
we need Shinsung,
so make sure we get it at all costs.
Yes, Grandfather.
Shi Wol, how do you feel?
I'm fine.
Take a break from work...
until the baby's born.
Your most important duty right now is to have a healthy baby...
rather than your job at the company.
Okay. I'll do as you say once I finish...
the project I'm working on.
The early stage of pregnancy is important.
Pass it onto Ms. Jin,
and start your break now.
I'm still okay.
It's an order as the president. Do as I say.
Yes, ma'am.
It's such a drastic change, I don't know what to say.
Take over the project I've been working on for me.
It's the president's orders to take a break.
Okay.
You're okay, right?
Yes.
Then now, Yoo Wol...
Hey.
Yoo Wol doesn't exist in my life anymore.
He died 10 years ago.
I'm going to erase Yoo Wol from my memories.
What did you just say?
That I put my money on the US going under.
You're mad.
Why would the US go under?
What's that?
A journal on loans.
There's a report that an American investor named Michael wrote.
And?
I went to Goldman Sachs...
and happened to see this magazine that someone threw out.
I agree with everything he says.
What did he say?
He was very critical...
of the subprime mortgages.
Everyone says he's insane and won't listen to him.
They don't want to.
Because if he's right, everyone's in trouble.
So? What will you do?
I'm going to buy swaps for American mortgages.
- Swaps? - Yes.
One that pays you if there's a problem...
with the mortgages.
You'll bet your money on the collapse...
of the American housing market?
That's right.
No.
That will never happen. Not unless the market falls apart.
Who wouldn't pay their mortgage?
What if the property value drops?
How will they afford the loan?
Then do you think American houses will drop in value?
Yes.
A bubble is bound to burst,
just like the dot com bubble we experienced.
So how much swaps will you buy?
As much as possible.
I really don't know what you're thinking.
What about acquiring Shinsung Express?
This is our final bid for the Shinsung acquisition.
We have the upper hand in many aspects,
but the problem is how much Sun Holdings offers.
We can't put down a ridiculously high amount like with Construction.
What if we end up not getting it though?
I'll follow your orders this time.
Please fill in the amount yourself.
Use this amount.
Are you sure about this?
It's the chairman's idea.
Yes, sir. Okay, then.
Hello?
You're going to the doctor today, right?
I was just about to leave.
I'll go with you. I'll pick you up now.
There's no need.
Mr. Kim is waiting outside already.
Then I'll see you there.
I'll head to the hospital.
Sure.
Okay, see you soon.
Okay.
What did they say? Is everything okay?
Yes, everything's fine.
Good.
I want some cold noodles.
- Okay. Shall we go? - Okay.
Just drive away.
Let's just go.
I can't leave her like that.
If you get out now,
I'll never talk to you again.
Honey!
What's wrong? What happened?
Honey.
What's wrong?
(Yangji Hospital)
It's okay.
As long as you're okay.
We can always have another baby,
so don't be too down, okay?
Really?
Okay.
What's wrong?
Shi Wol...
What about her?
Shi Wol...
Fate is on our side.
Poor Shi Wol.
She should've been more careful.
It took so long to get pregnant, but she lost it so quickly.
Exactly. So you need to be careful in everything you do...
and take care of yourself, okay?
Don't worry.
Anyway, what have you been craving lately?
Do you still like raw rice?
No.
Then what do you want to eat?
Say the word. I'll get it all for you.
Grasshopper.
Grasshopper?
Yes. I want fried grasshoppers.
I see.
You're still up?
I woke up because I was hungry.
Should I make you something?
No, this is enough.
Well...
- About earlier. - Have a seat.
Let's...
move.
I want to leave this place.
Fine. Let's leave.
Do you mean it?
Yes.
I was going to leave anyway.
Thank you.
Where will we go?
To the US.
The US?
You're moving to the US? Why?
There's something he needs to do there.
What is it?
Can't you do it in Korea?
Why would we move if he could?
It won't be for too long.
Don't be too disappointed.
Then I guess we should...
move out too.
I'm sorry.
You can stay.
Why don't we just sell this house then?
- Sell it? - Yes.
If you go to the US, this house will be empty.
I'm going to my home.
I don't need such a big house by myself.
Why would we sell this house?
Don't you dare sell it.
If you do sell it, sell it to me.
You already have so many houses. Stop being so greedy.
If I don't buy it, that jerk Jang Wol Chun will.
I will never let that happen.
Just let him buy it.
You said he wanted this house for many years.
That can never happen!
Over my dead body!
I won't sell this house.
You won't? Why not?
It's the first house I've ever owned.
This is your first house?
Yes.
I'm not sure.
I must have been blinded.
You know how sometimes,
things occur that your mind can't comprehend?
For example, love between a man and a woman?
This house is the same.
What could I do? I fell in love at first sight.
I see.
This house is your first love...
just like Shi Wol.
(Yangji Group)
I understand.
Yes.
Are you sure about that?
Okay. Thank you.
Congratulations.
You've won the bid to acquire Shinsung Express.
Do you mean it?
Yes, but the thing is...
The amount that Sun Holdings offered...
was so shocking.
How much did they offer?
Well...
If that's what they offered,
it means they never meant to acquire it in the first place.
Then why did they...
Seriously.
Why did you say you'd acquire Shinsung in the first place?
Were they a part of your revenge as well?
No.
Then what?
What would people think of Sun Holdings?
We've become a corporate thug that only harmed Yangji...
when we had no intention of acquiring Shinsung.
Why did you do it?
I lost my desire to acquire them.
Why?
Exactly.
I don't know either.
Why did I do it?
Don't be too upset.
I'm sorry, Mother.
Why are you sorry?
Regardless, you weren't hurt.
That's what matters.
Thank goodness we were able to acquire Shinsung Express.
If that had failed as well...
The mere thought of it makes me shudder.
Anyway, that Mr. Oh...
He is so despicable, I can't stand it.
Why did he stress us out like that...
when he didn't plan to acquire them.
I misjudged him. I'm so disappointed.
It's your fault.
I will never...
forgive you.
What are you doing out here?
I was just getting some air.
Are you okay?
Yes.
How about you?
Let's go inside.
What's gotten into you?
Just one minute.
Let's stay like this for one minute.
What's...
gotten into you lately? You're acting differently.
Everything changes.
So should I.
I will change.
I won't be the same person I used to be before.
Shinsung Express...
is my first and last gift to you.
Just wait.
When I come back, I'll completely tear down...
that magic castle you're trying to protect.
Okay. Be safe.
We will.
Take care of yourself.
You can just come.
Come help with my postpartum care.
You should. You should see your grandchild.
- You should come too. - What?
Should we?
Then how about...
we take a trip to the US thanks to them?
Just a minute.
Mister!
It's been a while.
Are you very busy now, too?
I won't be in Korea for a while,
so I wanted to say bye.
Are you going somewhere?
To the US.
Take care of yourself.
I will. Wait a second.
This is for you.
What's your dream?
Don't you have a dream?
At times, I want to be a giraffe,
and at other times, I want to be a dinosaur.
I don't know yet.
So you chose a giraffe.
Think of me whenever you look at it.
Okay. Take care.
Ji Min. What are you doing?
Mr. Oh...
is moving to the US.
(A Place in the Sun)
What will happen to Yangji Construction now?
Mr. Oh of Sun Holdings is back.
I think he's going to exercise the putback option.
Don't waste time on a lost cause and focus on the sale.
How did you have such a cute daughter?
Yoo Wol... I mean, Oh Tae Yang. He's incredible, don't you think?
It's a do or die world out there.
If we get distracted, we'll have our heads chopped off.
I wondered why Yoo Wol came back.
He came to get the money back.
I'm sure he's back to get something much bigger.
