I don't really know much about art,
but it makes me happy to look at all of this.
I feel like I have come to another world.
I feel a little bit shy as well.
Why so?
Everyone knows so much about art,
but I really don't know anything.
The only person who can truly explain the meaning behind a painting...
is the artist themself.
It's nice to know the artist's thoughts on the piece,
but that's not the only right answer either.
Looking at a painting with your own eyes and perspective...
is another great way to enjoy art.
I see.
Thank you.
Chairman Cha.
What do you think about that painting over there?
I'm thinking of buying a piece.
Oh, it's fantastic.
Goodness. What a nice painting.
They must be a couple.
How nice.
I'm jealous.
Wait a second. That man looks awfully familiar.
Who was he again?
I better greet him.
What is it?
I enjoyed the exhibition.
But I haven't felt my best since this morning.
Please excuse me first.
Do you feel sick?
Where? Is it a headache?
Or an upset stomach?
I have digestive medicine and painkillers.
No, it's okay.
Welcome back, Ms. Cha.
Welcome back, Mother.
Ms. Lee. Keep her out of my sight for the time being.
And she's banned from coming downstairs while I'm home.
Understood, Ms. Cha.
Please go back upstairs.
After I have some water.
I'll bring you a cup.
As per Ms. Cha's orders,
it's best not to show yourself downstairs...
when she's home.
He was seeing someone?
A woman?
Here.
Thank you.
You look really exhausted today.
Maybe you overdid it.
To be honest, something happened at home.
And it's stressing me out.
Was it something bad?
I'm to blame for everything.
Using my illness as an excuse,
I left my kids' education to my wife...
and took my mind off it.
But lately, I've been feeling bad...
and troubled for not being a good father.
You were sick. They would understand.
Are your kids upset about it?
No, they're not.
But it's to do with my son, so I can't talk about it myself.
In any case, a lot has been going on...
with my family.
When your kid is in pain, so are you as the parent.
But much more, not less.
They say many a mickle makes a muckle.
How about reaching out to him first?
Heartfelt words are so encouraging...
during hard times.
Try it.
Thank you.
I feel much better.
Your sweet words...
always cheer me up.
What are you doing in my studio?
Why can't I be here? Aren't we family?
Leave. I'm going to get changed.
Where have you been?
You don't have an appointment with the doctor today.
Why are you asking?
I simply want to know what you did all day.
Where were you? What did you do today?
I'm not your employee.
I have no obligation to report to you.
You're not, but you are my husband.
And you should have kept your duty as one.
How much more are you going to insult me?
You acted like an aloof, noble man...
with morals.
How filthy, low, and indecent.
I want to rest.
Leave if you have nothing to say.
Don't forget that I'm your wife.
I'm not going to let you stain my life.
Tail Mr. Hong for a while.
And do it discreetly.
Where he goes and who he meets.
Report everything to me.
Yes, ma'am.
Problems are popping up here, popping up there,
and popping up everywhere!
I bet Chairman Cha is about to explode with rage.
I wonder if my enemy's husband knows this or not.
But who cares?
In the first place, you shouldn't do what you can't take responsibility for.
Aren't I right, Mr. Ko?
Mr. Ko?
Mi Sook. This is about my friend.
- Okay. - Listen.
Go ahead. Take it off your chest.
- My friend had gotten drunk... - Yes?
and slept with a friend...
who was a girl.
Slept?
No, to be clear,
he had done it under the influence but with consent.
Gosh.
The girl had told him it was a mistake...
and that she was okay with it.
But was she being honest?
Stop hanging out with that friend of yours.
Why?
- How cowardly! - It hurts.
Under the influence, my foot.
What kind of woman would put pressure on the guy...
and tell him to take responsibility?
I never raised you like that,
so stay out of trouble when you drink.
Also,
you might get caught up in a mess if you keep hanging out...
with that friend, so end your friendship with him tomorrow.
It wasn't me.
It was my friend, okay?
- Welcome back. - Hey.
Wrap things up and go home early today.
It's a rare chance to leave work on time.
- Okay. - Okay.
(Chief Director Kang Dong Ha)
(Ms. Soo Yeon)
Hello?
Ms. Yoo?
Who are you?
Is it you, Seo Jun?
Oh, aren't you Mr. Tunic?
Yes. Did you make this call?
Yes. I was going to play games on Mommy's phone...
but accidentally called you.
By the way, Mommy saved your name as "Kind Man."
Are you doing well, Seo Jun?
Yes. When are you coming by?
I want to hang out with you.
I want to hang out with you too.
Really? Then come to my house!
Seo Jun, who are you on the phone with?
Mr. Tunic.
Give it to me.
Mister, I'm putting Mommy on the phone now.
Did you call me, Mr. Kang?
Mommy, I made the call.
I'm sorry. Seo Jun made the call.
I know. I heard from him.
Please tell him I'll stop by soon.
Pass it on, okay? I'll check later.
Okay.
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, Ms. Yoo.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, Mr. Kang.
See you tomorrow.
Mommy, is he going to come?
When?
Seo Jun. You can't call anyone...
on my phone list again, okay?
Okay. So is he coming by our house?
Yes, he is.
What about Daddy? Can he come too?
Do you miss Daddy, Seo Jun?
Yes. I miss both Daddy...
and Grandpa the Artist.
But I miss Grandma and Auntie...
only a tiny bit.
- You're back late. - Yes.
Weren't you at the store?
Of course. Where else would I have been?
And the others?
Welcome back, Grandma.
Yes, I'm back.
You're such a sweetheart.
Gosh. You look so pretty today, Mom.
(Homecoming Exhibit for Grace Choi)
Did you go to an exhibition?
Yes. The burger shop owner gave me...
the expensive tickets, so I paid a visit.
My gosh. I didn't know you had such a refined taste.
Did you go alone?
With a friend.
I went with a friend.
That was a weird reaction.
Did you mean a boyfriend?
Geez, Young Ji. He's not my boyfriend.
He's just a friend.
Soo Yeon, Auntie got busted. I was only joking around.
They must be going out.
Oh, goodness.
Mom. If you find anyone nice,
don't worry about us and date him.
For goodness' sake, he's just a friend.
We're nothing like that, so don't get the wrong idea.
I'm going to get changed.
Doesn't denying it like that make her more suspicious?
I'm happy as long as Mom is.
(Grace Choi Art Exhibition)
Wake up.
Come on.
What are you doing?
Ms. Cha finds it filthy and unpleasant to have your clothes mixed...
with the rest of the family's.
She wants you, Ms. Seo Yu Ra, to wash your own clothes.
Ms. Seo Yu Ra?
Mom. I'm suffering greatly over my love problem,
so must we have breakfast together?
I have something to tell you. Eat first.
What about mine?
Didn't I tell you to ban her from coming downstairs, Ms. Lee?
Please leave.
What was that?
How dare you behave so crudely?
She stepped out of line in my room.
It's best to teach your subordinates a lesson with your hand than with words.
I'm sure you know Ms. Lee is one of my people.
Are you going to behave recklessly now?
I can endure your lectures,
but not when Ms. Lee humiliates me.
Aren't you worried about Jin Woo?
Do you even know where he is?
It was you who broke him down mentally.
How shameless of you.
I will go back to work starting today.
With the new brand announcement just around the corner,
my long absence will strike a blow to the design team.
Nothing good will come out of it for you if Yoo Soo Yeon wins.
Fine. Go to work.
You too, Jin A.
You want me to work at the office?
Yes. Start taking over Ms. Seo's duties.
Your position isn't permanent.
I'm handing it over to Jin A, so complete the handover.
Mother.
As you said, the new brand competition is nearing. Focus on that.
After that, resign from your post with grace.
Don't be absurd.
What's absurd is the unqualified senior manager with a fake education.
Mom. Do I really go to work?
But I don't feel like it.
(Investment Development Team)
Good morning, Dong Ha.
Scratch that.
Let me introduce myself, Mr. Kang.
I'm Hong Jin A, the design team's new senior manager.
I'm in your care from now on.
On that note,
here's some coffee.
What about Ms. Seo?
Who knows?
It's your first day. Go and work.
The workers will treat you well only if you work hard.
You know so little about me.
Like my mom, I do things that I set my mind to.
Seo Yu Ra and Yoo are the same.
Both their class, level, and dignity are low.
So it wasn't worth the fight. But not me.
I'm incomparable.
I can easily beat them.
- I need a minute with you. - What?
A minute, please.
Okay.
Employees from other departments are off limits during meetings.
Drink that coffee and work.
(Investment Development Team)
Let's start the meeting.
Jin Woo, I know it's tough.
But you're an adult and Seo Jun's dad.
I hope you can overcome it for Seo Jun.
As a dad myself,
I want to help out my son too.
Jin Woo, call me anytime when you're having trouble.
Young Ji.
I brought a flower today.
Thank you.
But what brings you here?
By any chance, are you holding back...
on making me take responsibility so as not to burden me?
Gosh, no way.
If you can't say it,
please write it on my back.
I'll figure it out then and there.
"Treat..."
"Me..."
"To food?"
"Treat me to food?"
You don't have to take responsibility.
But I'm indeed interested in you.
So treat me to food.
How about we watch a movie, grab some food,
and get to know each other?
As friends with no strings attached.
I'm in.
Do you do this alone every day?
It's fine now that I've gotten used to it.
What should I do? I'll help.
If you could give these a wipe...
with this dry cloth, that would be great.
Are you saying you lost him?
Never mind. Just come back to the office.
What in the world has he been up to?
What do you think?
This is a good improvement from the last version. It looks good.
What do you think, Ms. Yoo?
I think we just need to check the spring inside.
(Hong Jin Woo)
Let's focus on the meeting.
Are you settling in well, Ms. Bo Kyung? It's pretty hectic around here, right?
We'll throw you a big welcome party after the competition is over.
Please be a good mentor for her now that you've been promoted to Assistant Manager.
Yes, ma'am. Don't worry.
I look forward to working with you.
I look forward to working with you as well.
I want to make the images bigger so that we can better show...
how high-quality the material is.
What do you think?
How about we show more of this part?
I think that's a good idea.
And that concludes our presentation on Elegant,
the new brand created by our design team.
Thank you.
I present to you Rendezvous,
Moran Footwear's new brand.
Rendezvous.
It means encounter in French.
This word represents the connection that'll be made between Moran Footwear...
and our customers with this new start.
It also represents our wish...
that our shoes will lead our customers...
to only happy encounters.
Why do women wear...
uncomfortable and exhausting high heels...
for exciting, important, or formal occasions?
Me. I know.
High heels help make...
your legs look more beautiful.
That's right.
Women want to feel like...
the most beautiful person in the world on those occasions.
We created Rendezvous to give women comfort...
for those special occasions when women want to shine the most.
We didn't miss a single thing from design to functionality.
(Ballot Box)
The designs from Ms. Yoo's new brand...
are very strong.
I'm a little bit worried about Ms. Seo's brand.
No matter how hard Ms. Yoo tries, this is still SA Group.
All of the directors sitting here work for me.
She won't get any votes.
Are you sure?
Yes, ma'am. Those are the results.
What to what?
Chairman Cha. How did things turn out?
Please hurry and tell us.
I feel like I'm going to pass out from the suspense.
Tell us.
It's a tie...
between Ms. Seo and Ms. Yoo.
A tie?
How can there be a tie in the great SA Group?
I can't believe it.
How can there be two winners?
This won't do. Let's have one more round.
I'm not sure what you think, Chairman Cha,
but I think it would be...
a big waste of time and money for SA Group...
to have another round so that we can pick one winner.
How about this?
Looking at the results,
we can see that both brands from the Design Team...
and Investment Development Team have market value.
What do you think about launching both? It'll help improve SA Group's image.
I agree with your idea to launch both brands.
However, we'll suffer a loss if we continue to manufacture products...
for both brands.
What do you think about discontinuing whichever brand...
has lower sales for the first quarter after launch?
I'm confident that consumer response to our brand will be good.
That sounds good. Let's proceed with that.
A tie doesn't mean we lost.
So let me keep my role...
as a senior manager as promised. Don't give it to Jin A.
Can you stop barking?
Make sure you hand over your work to Jin A and get her trained up.
Also, if your new product has lower sales than Yoo Soo Yeon's,
you're going to be cut along with your brand.
Chairman Cha.
President Hong isn't in the hotel.
There's so much going on here.
How long is he going to stay away from the office?
Bring me the list of directors who voted for Yoo Soo Yeon.
Yes, ma'am.
How dare they vote for Yoo Soo Yeon while getting paid by me?
Are you that happy?
Of course.
We beat Ms. Seo, the person...
that Chairman Cha kept bragging about.
I mean, I know it was a tie,
but Ms. Yoo clearly won this competition.
Her background, education, and pregnancy aren't the only things she faked.
I'm sure that she lied about her talent as well.
To be honest, I was worried when I heard that SA Group directors would be judging.
I thought they would take Chairman Cha's side...
since they're SA Group directors.
I'm sure Chairman Cha just believed that...
and didn't think much of it.
This is all thanks to me persuading the directors.
I met each of the directors and took each of them out for a meal.
I also gave them some money.
This played a huge part.
Can you imagine if I hadn't done so? They wouldn't judge based on skill.
Of course. I heard half of the directors...
voted for the other team...
even though they were clearly not as good.
I'm sure they were worried about offending Chairman Cha.
Half of her trusty directors turned their backs on her.
It must have felt like she got hit from behind.
Here. I'm feeling generous.
Go have some drinks.
Go celebrate.
I'm going to gather the directors who cast honest votes today...
and take them out for dinner.
Gosh. It feels so good to be alive.
Oh, my.
Look at you.
You didn't even come for the judging.
What have you been doing, and why are you drinking in here?
Hong Jin Woo.
Yes, ma'am. Your son, Jin Woo, is here.
Did that girl, Yoo Soo Yeon, tell you to do that?
My plan was ruined because we were missing your vote.
I wanted to make sure that Moran Footwear never saw the light of day.
How are you going to make up for this?
Hong Jin Woo.
How are you going to make up for things, Mother?
You ruined my family.
You ruined my life.
How are you going to make up for that?
You should fix things first, not me.
That again?
It was all for you.
No. It was for yourself.
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have divorced Soo Yeon,
and Seo Jun wouldn't have gotten sick.
More importantly, I wouldn't have married that con artist of a woman.
Being born as your son feels like a curse.
I feel like this curse is driving me insane.
Don't fall apart over such insignificant things.
You're the next Chairman of SA Group. Act like it.
Mr. Kim.
Yes, Chairman Cha.
Go get President Hong.
The employees might see him or someone might take his picture.
We can't let that happen with him in that state.
Yes, ma'am.
Soo Yeon.
Yoo Soo Yeon.
Soo Yeon.
I was wrong.
It was all my fault. Soo Yeon.
I was wrong.
I...
I beg you.
Soo Yeon. Please...
Please save me.
Get up. People are watching.
Don't cry.
I love you. Soo Yeon, I love you.
- What are you doing? - Yes, ma'am.
President Hong. Please get up.
Let go of me. I said, let go.
Soo Yeon.
(Chairman's Office)
Yoo Soo Yeon.
How dare you make my son get on his knees? How dare you?
Attorney Yoon. There's something I need you to take care of.
Where should we go?
Is there something you want to eat?
I'm up for anything.
We got Chairman Ko's credit card.
How about we go to the most expensive and elegant place we can find?
- Ms. Yoo. - Yes?
What are you doing?
You have the right to remain silent.
You have a right to an attorney. I'm sure you know that.
You're under arrest for kidnapping Hong Seo Jun.
(Gold Mask)
Kidnapping? Do you think that makes any sense?
I think an explanation is needed.
My grandson was kidnapped, and I got him back. That's all.
Hong Seo Jun.
How long does Ms. Yoo have to suffer? She didn't do anything wrong.
Do you really think Yoo still has feelings for you?
She's a woman, but more importantly, she's a mother.
If they get back together, whose side do you think she'll be on?
I made myself a promise today.
I'm not going to let you deal with all of this alone.
