Sir, we just received this.
What?
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
What is this?
What's the matter, sir?
Gosh, who on earth would send a photo like that?
It must be a prank.
My goodness.
This young lady here... Is she Choi Eun Hye?
Yes, it is her.
But who are the two people beside her?
Why would anyone do this to a photo? Goodness.
You said you had something to say.
It's nothing important, sir.
I wanted to update you on something I'm reviewing...
in regard to the lawsuit against JM Chemical,
but I'll submit a report.
Okay.
(Chairman's Office)
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
Mr. Jeong.
Someone sent me this photo.
Oh, isn't this Choi Eun Hye?
That's right.
See if you can find out who sent it.
Yes, sir.
Are you out of your mind?
You sent that photo, didn't you?
As if you didn't expect I'd do this.
- How could you... - Yes.
Like you said, I faked a suicide attempt to marry Min Hyuk.
That is how determined I was to get this far.
Knowing that, do you think I'd give up easily?
- Hwang Yeon Su. - This was just a warning.
If you provoke me one more time,
I'll do something a lot worse next time.
I'll send him a photo that clearly shows you and your two sisters.
That woman in the photo...
It's Choi Eun Hye, right?
- Yes. - Then,
do you recognize the two people beside her?
No, I don't know who they are.
I'm confused.
Who sent me this? And why?
Also, who are the two people standing next to her?
I asked Mr. Jeong to find out who sent the photo,
so I guess we'll find out soon.
Sorry?
Are you saying I shouldn't try to find out who sent the photo?
If the chairman finds out, it won't be good.
I'll tell him when the time is right,
so please don't say anything.
Still, I can't really disobey his order.
I'm doing this for his sake.
If any problems arise, I'll take full responsibility.
Please help me out, Mr. Jeong.
Okay.
- Mr. Jeong. - Yes, hello.
Why did you have to speak with Vice President Han?
Oh, nothing important.
Please tell me what it was about.
Well, someone sent a strange photo to the chairman.
And?
Vice President Han told me not to look into it,
for the chairman's sake.
I see.
Han Jae Hyuk.
You're burying it of your own accord because you have to hide it.
- Yeon Su. - Yes?
Is the design draft ready?
Yes, I'll submit it now.
Ms. Han.
You clearly don't love kids.
That's why your design for our kids' line is this bad.
You call this a design?
You're rude and clueless,
so you should at least cultivate good taste.
What is the matter with you?
I heard you locked the door...
and left when Ha Eun was out in the garden.
Are you insane?
It wasn't intentional. I didn't know she was outside.
You didn't know?
I also heard you gave her salt-laden rice and even meat.
Knowing that, how could I believe that you didn't know?
You really shouldn't even call yourself human.
This is a clear case of child abuse.
You'd already be behind bars if you lived in a different country.
You're out of line.
How could you do that to a kid?
You do not deserve to be a mother.
Ms. Han, are you going to keep talking this disrespectfully to me?
Behave yourself if you want to be treated with respect!
(Director of Strategy Han Min Hyuk)
Come in.
What is the matter with your aunt?
She's out to get me.
She always sides with So Won.
So what? Are you saying I should side with you?
- Min Hyuk. - Don't be delusional.
Don't think I've forgiven you just because I took you...
to the get-together with my friends.
I had no choice...
because of my public image.
How much longer will you keep this up?
Do you know what I did for you?
What did you do?
Trying to take the fall...
for the embezzlement in front of Mr. Choi?
What? Are you hoping I'd praise you for that?
Please forgive me, okay?
Leave. I have work to do.
I can't believe someone did this to our photo.
It makes me shudder.
Are you sure it was Yeon Su?
Yes, it was her.
She's obviously not afraid to go all out.
She did it because I said I'd reveal...
who orchestrated the embezzlement.
She acted recklessly just to silence me.
Why did you provoke her to begin with?
I couldn't hold back my anger because of what she did to Ha Eun.
How could she do that to a little kid?
Right, I understand.
We can't let her go unpunished for what she did to Ha Eun.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
What did Father say? He must be feeling uneasy.
He told Mr. Jeong right away to find out who sent it,
but I stopped Mr. Jeong.
I told him it was for my father's sake,
but I'm actually doing it for myself.
So Park Sang Tae...
now manages the warehouse?
Yes.
So we managed to cut the tail off, but nothing else.
The photo of me, Eun Hye, and Ho Jin Father received.
I heard you sent it.
That's right. I did it. What about it?
Don't you know who broke the deal first?
Ho Jin started it.
Is what you did to Ha Eun not enough for you?
Even the lowliest beast wouldn't do that.
And now this, on top of that?
You and your brother are the problem because you ignored my warning.
Just stop Ho Jin.
If he provokes me one more time, I'll destroy him for good.
Yes.
What?
Someone saw Seo Jung Bae?
Where?
What?
Okay.
Keep me updated.
That's my neighborhood.
Seo Jung Bae was in my neighborhood?
Mr. Seo.
Yes.
Thank you so much.
I rarely see you,
so I finally had a chance to fix you a meal.
Thank you.
How long has it been since I last had a home-cooked meal?
No one's going to take it away, so eat slowly.
Just leave the table out here when you're done.
Yes. Oh, wait.
Thank you.
You fixed the buttons and patched up all the holes on my clothes.
No problem at all. Eat up.
Thank you.
Is that man Mr. Seo, the tenant?
Ho Jin!
Hey, you.
- Mr. Choi is almost home. - The braised angler is ready.
- It'll be delicious. - The clam soup is also to die for.
- Yu Jin! - Leon.
- You guys are getting in together? - I ran into him in front of...
Hello, I'm back.
Don't! What are you doing? My gosh.
It's a greeting. That's how the French do it.
You're in Korea now, so do it the Korean way.
- Did you have dinner? - No, not yet.
Then join us.
I made braised angler. Can you eat it?
- It's spicy. - I'd eat it every day if I could.
Really?
That's great. Give me a minute.
Have a seat.
Yu Jin, I got you some macarons, your favorite.
Thanks.
When are you going back to France?
I won't go back until Yu Jin accepts my proposal.
Give up already. She already said no.
No, she didn't. Right, Yu Jin?
Indeed, I didn't say no.
Yu Jin, what does it mean to keep someone on the hook?
Where did you hear that from?
I saw someone say it in a Korean drama.
Isn't it like flirting with multiple people while comparing them?
Gosh, I can't stand guys who do that.
Ho Jin, are you keeping Yu Jin on the hook?
Me?
Aren't you trying to feel her out?
No, what do you take me for?
Why did you say that? That was unnecessary.
- Where can I wash my hands? - Over there.
Cake! Come and take this!
Okay.
You had dinner, so why don't you go home?
Hey, that day... The day we had drinks together.
Nothing happened between you and Yu Jin?
What are you talking about? Of course, nothing happened.
I got a weird feeling when I was sleeping.
You two didn't kiss, did you?
What?
Leon! Get up. You should go home.
All right.
Bye, Ho Jin. See you.
I'll go get him a cab.
I must've been out of my mind.
President?
Yes, in two months from now.
I want to appoint you at the general shareholders' meeting.
Dad.
It's about time you joined the management.
To get ready to take over my position.
Dad, I don't think I'm qualified.
Just hire a management specialist.
Jae Hyuk.
Whoever that gets the position must carry...
the huge responsibility for Noyu's future.
I don't think I can handle the weight of that responsibility.
I didn't choose you because...
I want to pass the company down to someone in the family...
or because of my affection toward you.
People before profit.
And prioritize long-term visions over immediate profit.
That's always been my business philosophy,
and I think you're the perfect person to continue that.
Am I wrong?
I can't believe this.
The chairman said...
he'd recommend Vice President Han to give him the president role.
- Dad said that? - Yes.
He's obviously getting ready...
to pass the company down to him.
So Dad has made up his mind to pass the company down to Jae Hyuk.
How could Father do this?
This is crazy.
Director Song is the only person in Noyu...
who can keep the chairman in check.
You should meet with him.
Yes. You should, Min Hyuk.
All of us will be doomed if Jae Hyuk gets the president role.
We must do whatever it takes to take him down.
Father said that?
Yes.
But I don't want to do that.
I feel that I'm underqualified for the role.
There are many executives who have been working hard...
for Noyu for a lot longer than I have.
I don't think I'm the best candidate.
You're right.
But don't you think Father probably...
thought a lot about it before bringing it up to you?
You know that he never make rash decisions.
I'll always love you no matter what,
and I will support you no matter what you decide to do,
but I think you should decide carefully.
I apologize for making you come all the way here.
I'm sure you had a reason for making me come...
all the way here.
Yes.
The chairman is planning to give...
the president role to Vice President Han.
I'm aware.
It seems like he's thinking...
of passing the company down to Vice President Han.
That's why I wanted to speak with you.
Director Song, Vice President Han...
is certainly not qualified to be my father's successor.
Why do you think that?
There's more coming.
Okay, I'll take them too.
I'll see you later. 150 in total, right?
Yes, that's correct.
- Drive safely! - Will do!
Ma'am.
How's your new position treating you?
Pretty good.
Let's talk.
Sure.
This job must be stressful. You look exhausted.
No, it's fine.
I'm really furious.
I was thinking Tae Seok might push for it,
but how could he actually do this?
He wants to appoint Jae Hyuk...
as President, not Min Hyuk? Isn't it crazy?
Because I'm stuck here,
I can't even help Director Han.
Wait just a little.
I'll make sure you can return to the head office.
I need you to assist Min Hyuk at a critical time like this.
Wipe your sweat with this. I'm off.
(To: Director Han Min Hyuk)
(Director of Strategy Han Min Hyuk)
(Min Ah's mom, I miss you.)
This came for you, so I opened it.
What is this?
Why would anyone send you this?
Who is Min Ah's mom?
Sorry?
(Min Ah's mom)
I asked you who Min Ah's mom is. Why are you all quiet?
She's my friend.
Min Ah is the name of her daughter.
Min Hyuk, we need your approval on this.
What is this?
What is this photo?
(Min Ah's mom, I miss you.)
It must be from that stalker.
Even the photo you got a while ago had "Min Ah's mom" written on it.
Was that also from the stalker, not your friend?
No, I told you that the stalker is in Singapore now.
Like I said, Min Ah's mom is my friend.
Then why was this photo mailed to me?
And what about the "I miss you" part?
I guess it was sent to the wrong address.
Tell me the truth.
The father of the kid isn't dead, right?
The stalker must be the father.
Answer me!
(Legal Manager Choi Ho Jin)
Yes, Mr. Han.
Are you sure the father of the kid is dead?
Yes, he is.
You checked his death certificate.
Then why on earth did I get this?
Where is the stalker? Is he actually in Singapore?
Did you check thoroughly?
Yes, I checked his immigration records.
Then why?
Why do I keep getting things like this?
Mr. Choi.
Check again.
Reinvestigate everything thoroughly.
Okay?
I'll check again.
Are you toying with me?
Why send that ultrasound photo again? What do you want?
I just wanted to get back at you for what you did.
With a little bonus.
- What? - You shouldn't have provoked me.
I always have bullets ready. Don't you know that?
"Bullets"?
Then what about me? Do you think I have nothing?
I clearly warned you...
that I will reveal everything if you provoke me one more time.
Do whatever you want. It doesn't scare me at all.
You and your sister.
I will make sure I destroy you both.
Go ahead and do it if you can.
(Director of Strategy Han Min Hyuk)
Grandpa, let's play cat's cradle.
What?
Cat's cradle?
Yes, Grandma taught me.
Do you know how to do this?
Well, I'm sure I can figure it out.
Let's see.
Hold on. If I do this...
and this... Oh, no.
- Grandpa, that's not how you do it. - Okay.
All right, show me.
Yes, this side too.
What? Right. This one...
and this. There.
Like this. This is what you have to do.
Oh, I got it.
Do this and this... Oh, no.
This is no fun. You should practice.
All right, I will. I'll do a great job next time.
Okay.
My goodness.
I get to try all sorts of things thanks to Ha Eun.
He wants to appoint Jae Hyuk as President?
Who says he can do that? I won't let that happen.
Honey.
Do you know how to play cat's cradle?
Ha Eun taught me. It's so fun.
Here.
Play with me. Here.
I'm not in the mood to do this.
I can't believe you.
Gosh, what now?
You really don't know why I'm upset?
You want to give the president role to Jae Hyuk?
He left the company for seven years.
While he was gone, Min Hyuk picked up all the slack...
and grew the company to what it is today.
How could you do this to Min Hyuk?
I told you not to meddle in the decisions regarding the company.
All the board members are supporting Min Hyuk as well,
but you're not even though you're his father.
It just baffles me.
Father, Mother. I brought you some red ginseng tea.
I never asked you for it.
- Goodness. - Gosh.
That woman and her temper.
Hey, give me that.
- It's okay, Father. - What?
- Are your clothes okay? - My goodness.
My gosh.
Sir.
You'd like to appoint Vice President Han as President?
Most of us think he doesn't even qualify for his current position.
If it's about the embezzlement, he already cleared his name.
Right, he did. But the board members aren't happy.
The fact that the VP and his wife...
were taken to the police station for something so disgraceful...
Exactly.
I think we should do something about it...
to boost employee morale.
Do what?
It's unfortunate that they got roped into something so disgraceful,
but they proved that they did nothing wrong,
so what's the problem?
Come on in. Have a seat.
Sir, I heard that you have a lot on your mind these days.
That's why I asked the three of you to meet with me today.
We were talking about...
his plan to promote Vice President Han.
Director Song, what do you think?
If this is about Vice President Han...
I cannot support him.
I understand that he managed to clear his name,
but we can't deny that the company...
suffered significant losses because of his mistake.
It'd probably be wise to go with the majority opinion, sir.
Well, I do admit that he shouldn't have made...
the mistake.
But this isn't because he's my son.
He's a great leader...
and has good judgment.
He has good judgment?
Is that why he left the company when he was a director...
and cohabited with a woman?
Then after she died,
he wasted five years by doing nothing in the storage room.
I heard that's also why he rejected...
Assemblyman Jung's daughter.
He can't keep his personal feelings separate from work.
He's underqualified even for his current position.
I think the board members are strongly against it.
I didn't know Director Song would be against it too.
He's known for his righteousness and integrity.
That's why even your father can't go against him, let alone the board.
I wonder why he's suddenly in support of Min Hyuk.
Don't you think it's odd?
I'm sure Min Hyuk and Yeon Su persuaded him somehow.
Although I don't know what they did.
There will be an extraordinary board meeting.
For what?
They'll be discussing your dismissal, sir.
Will the board members side with us?
Director Song is on our side.
Still, we shouldn't let our guard down yet.
Director Song and the chairman used to be very close.
- My gosh. - What is going on?
What is happening?
Gosh, what do we do?
I can't believe this.
(The 10th Board Meeting)
They just posted an announcement.
Really?
What happened?
So Won, my gosh.
Vice President Han has been dismissed from his position.
My gosh.
- I can't believe this. - How could they do this?
- What do we do? - Gosh.
- Jae Hyuk. - Ho Jin.
Jae Hyuk.
I'm sorry. This is so humiliating.
Don't say that.
Director Song knew all about my past.
I had no idea he'd use it to attack me.
I heard that Han Min Hyuk had...
a one-on-one with him before the meeting.
So Min Hyuk told him?
I bet he told Director Song about your past...
to get him on his side.
I also found out that Yeon Su...
volunteered at the children's home...
his wife sponsors and has even made a donation.
(Director of Strategy Han Min Hyuk)
Did you approach Director Song intentionally...
to oust me?
What are you talking about? Don't you know how he is?
It's not like he's someone who can be cajoled.
You should've watched your conduct.
Look at the mess you're in.
Do you think you can make Noyu yours by using these sly tricks?
You, of all people, can't be the one inheriting the company.
Why do you say that? Why not?
Someone like you who has nothing but greed simply doesn't qualify.
Whether I qualify or not is not up to you to decide.
Power will decide that.
The power that I have.
You couldn't even protect your position.
Don't be so full of yourself.
(Vice President Han Jae Hyuk)
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
Dad.
I'm sorry this happened.
I am sorry.
I let you down because of my incompetence.
No, that's not true.
Dad.
I've made up my mind.
About what?
I'd like to be your successor and run Noyu.
What?
