My apologies for my behavior at the hotel.
Director Koo. The detox fabric is ready.
I said we'd go to the factory this afternoon.
Okay.
I asked the chairman to schedule a board meeting tomorrow.
You haven't reviewed the proposal yet, have you?
I'll start reviewing it now.
You sent it out of the blue last night.
We're going to stop the detox line.
What are you talking about?
Why are we stopping it? Who says you could?
You'll see in the proposal.
The fabric is out now.
The product launch is just around the corner.
What are you doing on your first day here?
It's a marketing strategy.
Select and focus.
We'll keep the detox line if it's necessary,
but I'm not so sure.
Then go to the factory and see for yourself.
That's a good idea.
Right.
I heard you went to the airport to pick me up.
Sorry. I'll buy lunch sometime.
Amnesia?
She could've been in a car accident in the past three years...
and gotten amnesia or something.
Anyway, find out everything about Janice secretly.
Yes, sir.
Did you see Janice's proposal?
She wants to stop the detox line.
That's not all.
What else?
She wants to reduce the brands to half.
Is she insane?
Is she trying to kick out the people who were here first?
Anyway, I can't give up on the detox line.
The patent is more important.
Let's meet with Mr. Kang first before going to the factory.
Janice is going too. I told her to see for herself.
How dare she tell us to stop it?
I'd like to see you more elsewhere rather than in the office.
Go to where the products are being sold,
look and hear for yourself, and get out there.
This is a premium line from another company.
It was a gift.
A special trait of a premium line...
was that once you wear it and go in the water,
it would shrink to fit you perfectly.
Do you know what they did to sell that concept...
to the consumers?
Do you know?
No.
A model wearing the jeans went into a bath...
and came out in front of people.
They let them see and experience the product's best trait.
- Wow. - Did you plan that demonstration?
You can do it too.
Mother arrived at the company.
Bring my husband back.
Bring my husband back right now!
How dare you touch me? You're dirty!
Mi Yun.
What's wrong?
I was reminded of the past.
It's Koo Hae Joon.
Okay.
Mr. Koo, seriously.
You should press charges, not settle.
We should attack.
Why is he so naive?
He's my son, so I can't kill him. It's driving me insane.
He doesn't know how to be conniving.
He wouldn't cause any trouble after receiving an investment.
What is it?
Carry Jung is on her way up.
She's here?
Hello.
This is Chairman Koo Jae Myung and Dr. Seo Eun Ha.
Hello, I'm Carry Jung.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Koo Jae Myung.
Show up in front of us again,
and you'll die in prison.
Thank you very much for investing in our company,
and it's an honor.
I'm happy to have found a great company to invest in.
I'm Seo Eun Ha.
I've really wanted to meet you.
You killed your own baby.
You should have given birth to a healthy...
I've wanted to meet you as well.
Please.
I bought this tea myself when I went to Hainan.
It has a great scent and flavor.
Thank you.
Is that a picture of a farm?
Yes.
You know J Group made its start with cosmetics, right?
Back when no one knew anything about herbs,
I researched herbs and launched the cosmetics line My Herb.
That was me.
It wasn't you,
but my husband.
You're impressive.
Not at all.
He's been succeeding ever since,
even after they expanded into fashion.
And thanks to that, we get to meet a great investor like yourself.
Of course.
How is that farm being used now?
We should use it for something,
but it's in a greenbelt, so it's just sitting there.
You can always get it out of a greenbelt.
I'd like to see it sometime.
I feel like I could think of a use for it.
Sure.
I'll take you there soon.
What? Five times the development budget?
Yes.
Five times? Out of the blue?
Connect me.
The phone is turned off.
I don't like this.
Keep calling.
We are comrades now sharing a common fate.
Rain or shine, let's work together...
and run through a wide, green field.
Since we share a common fate,
please make sure we don't go under.
Of course.
Do you have friends in Seoul?
No.
I've lost touch with everyone.
Call me if you ever need a friend.
Chairman Koo's wife is an old friend of mine.
It'll be nice if we all meet up.
Sure.
Seo Eun Ha. Look carefully.
This is Yoo Jin, my daughter...
whom you lost many years ago and are still searching desperately for.
Do you recognize her?
My daughter is the senior manager of product development here.
I did hear that your families are becoming in-laws.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Here's the detox fabric.
It feels soft and light.
- What do you think? - It's nice.
You confirmed it's waterproof, correct?
Of course.
Not bad.
A softer, more romantic color would be nice though.
Let's go to the dye lab.
Sure.
Please send some fabric to the head office.
- Let's make a sample with it. - Okay.
We made them...
using all-natural dyes that are good for the skin and your health.
You said it's good for my skin and my health.
Yes. It's safe to consume.
I'd like to maximize the unique traits...
of the all-natural Korean dyes.
Yes, ma'am.
Something soft and not cold.
Mix new colors.
Prepare several variations for each color.
Excuse me.
Koo Hae Joon speaking.
Are you okay?
Hae Joon.
Se Ra. Are you okay?
I think I sprained my ankle.
- Really? - Yes.
Here? Does it hurt?
Yes.
Oh no. Get on my back.
Are you okay?
- Does it hurt? - Yes.
Do you want to go to the hospital?
I like your hands more.
You always showed up like a knight in shining armor...
and saved me whenever I got hurt, touched where it hurt,
and carried me.
You're still a child.
When will you ever grow up?
I don't want to grow up.
Are you trying to torture me?
Thank Janice.
I'm hurt because she shoved me.
Didn't she look funny covered in yellow powder?
How can you laugh?
She ate it. What's the big deal about getting it all over her?
Why did she say she'll stop the detox line? That punk.
People will see.
Let them.
We'll be married soon. Kissing is nothing.
Seriously.
You should've just left her alone. Why did you get that all over you?
It'll take days to get the smell out.
Koo Hae Joon takes such good care of Hong Se Ra.
It's like she's his baby.
Let him while he can.
That way, it'll hurt more when she's dumped.
They're coming.
Are you okay? Do you need help?
No, I'm fine.
Let's go.
Did she bring her boyfriend?
You didn't scout her boyfriend too, did you?
Right?
I should look into him.
Oh no.
Here.
It's okay. I can just wipe it with some gauze.
You can throw it away after you use it.
Thank you.
I'll take that.
No, no. I'll do it.
Give it to me. I'll wash them together.
I can't bear to touch dirty diapers.
I was like that at first too.
Are you leaving now?
Yes.
Did you two meet?
She's such a hard worker. I learned a lot from her.
You're too kind.
I'll go now, Sister.
Thank you for your hard work.
What does she do?
I heard she's in real estate.
She has been our benefactor for years now,
and she came to volunteer in person this time.
She says she'll keep coming. We're so grateful.
Sister, someone left their ring in the laundry room.
Isn't this yours?
No.
Maybe it's that lady's.
I took it off while doing the laundry and forgot it.
I'll send my assistant tomorrow.
(20 years earlier in Canada)
Bad people?
I am...
going to punish them.
I'll make them hurt.
They must be punished,
so you and I can become happy.
But...
I can't punish them alone.
Yoo Jin, you must help me.
Can you do that?
Yes. I'll punish them.
Once they are punished,
I will...
live for you.
I promise.
I swear I'll punish them,
Mom.
Did I wake you?
When did you come? You should've called.
I just lied down for a minute, but I guess I passed out.
What time is it?
It's past nine.
You must be hungry.
Let's eat.
Okay.
That looks good.
Here.
Here. I was going to send you the food.
Did you smell it and come to get it?
It's delicious.
Eat slowly.
You can't just come like this unannounced anymore.
I know.
But it felt weird earlier...
when I saw you at the company...
and had to walk by like I didn't know you.
Me too.
How was Seo Eun Ha?
When I saw you with her,
she seemed almost familiar.
She's a typical business person.
She's more beautiful than in the pictures.
She looks like Hong Se Na too.
Really?
Tomorrow...
is d-day.
Don't worry. I'll do well.
I don't worry.
You're my daughter after all.
How do I put it?
She's bewitching and graceful.
She's aloof and decisive.
She seems to have a sad past too.
She reminds me of you.
She's like a magnolia surrounded by thorns.
I met someone just like that at the hospital.
There's another woman like that?
She was washing dirty diapers with her bare hands...
in the water.
Eun Ha would faint.
She won't go near a dirty diaper.
She must be born to do labor.
She's a benefactor.
She seems very wealthy too.
What an unusual woman.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
- Did you have dinner? - I did.
Did you eat a proper meal? Do you want to eat something?
Get your act together.
We got money and new talent. If we do our job...
If you do your job well, everything will be fine.
Okay. I'll go to my room.
He outright disrespects his own dad.
He thinks he's the only righteous and good person.
You need to show him some affection.
Love flows down, not up.
I'm trying to teach my only child to be tough.
Don't you know about tigers?
They shove their cubs off the cliff to make them stronger.
But he's a human being.
That's the lion.
Lions, tigers, same thing.
Do you still...
think I'm someone else?
You're Janice Han?
That's right.
Jane. Janice.
I'm going crazy.
Do you think Gatsby really was great?
I hear the author hated the title.
His wife and the publisher pushed for this title.
Maybe the author felt awkward calling Gatsby "great".
If it were "The Reckless Gatsby" or "The Brave Gatsby",
it probably wouldn't be as famous.
Because there's a higher chance that actors other than...
Robert Redford or Leonardo DiCaprio would be cast.
So you like good-looking men.
Not someone who's just good looking.
Are you a "love trumps all" kind of person like Gatsby?
"Love is always right"?
Was Gatsby like that?
He has a huge fantasy about love.
He didn't know that love gave him sadness, pain, and despair.
Or that it gives you the strength to overcome them.
I feel so sorry for him.
Do you know why?
It's because Gatsby is a romantic.
Maybe I'm too serious,
but I envy optimistic people like him.
Like his bluff?
Women can see right through men's bluffs.
So you should be careful.
What about a bluff about risking your life for love?
I don't like tragic love stories.
Especially if it's DiCaprio.
You don't like men who are just good looking,
but old good-looking men.
What?
Let's meet at 3pm on Friday after we finish reading this.
Let's meet.
If she made it big on her own abroad doing real estate,
she must be very talented.
She looks graceful, who knows what's on the inside?
She may be hiding something.
Does she have any connections in politics?
She was pleased when I told her about you.
I'll have to invite her over soon.
Okay. It would be a win-win if we all become close.
And you can get a big campaign contribution too?
Even better.
How was Janice?
She's all that.
It was her first day, but she said to stop the detox line.
We have the fabric already. She's so clueless.
That's ridiculous.
Carry's on our side, so don't worry.
Just ignore her.
There's a board meeting tomorrow.
I can't wait to see how she gets slammed.
We will stop the detox line that was supposed to launch this season.
What are you talking about?
You went to the factory yesterday.
Other lines are already doing well.
I saw no reason to pursue the detox line.
In exchange, we'll strengthen the existing lines,
and invest the money budgeted for the detox line...
to international marketing,
and grow us into a global brand.
There's a limit to how much we can strengthen existing brands.
If we stop a line midway now,
we will lose everything we invested thus far.
With great risk comes great reward.
Not only money...
but the chance to change the world.
That's only if we succeed.
If I don't show results within a year,
I will leave this industry for good.
If you ruin our company and then disappear,
that makes you a con artist.
I'm saying I will place my conviction, my experience,
and my life on the line.
Does anyone run a con by putting their life on the line?
You can bet 10 of your lives, but we won't stop the detox line.
You saw it at the factory. Why are you...
- We will stop it. - Who do you think you are?
If it's about money, don't worry.
We received a 30-million-dollar investment. Let's push forward.
- Yes, that's right. - We should.
Of course.
I heard there was a disgraceful incident at the anniversary gala.
There's a rumor that you stole someone else's invention.
That's utterly absurd.
I'm sure it's a lie.
But even lies are rumors.
They spread more quickly than the truth...
and kill a company's image instantly.
Koo Hae Joon keeps calling.
I kept screening his calls, but...
Keep ignoring them.
Your interview will be published today.
You can start with that.
I can do it, right?
Think about your company and your family.
If there's a problem, just pull out.
I'll take care of everything.
Fashion is about image.
We're the ones who create that image.
You've created the image of a thief...
until now.
Watch it! How dare you call us thieves?
What do you know? How dare you lecture us?
Apologize right now!
I came on the condition that I have full authority...
over J Group's marketing.
That's why I feel a big sense of responsibility.
I will recuperate the company's goodwill and image...
and increase profits by 20 percent.
The investor Carry Jung is pushing for the detox line.
Let's just keep it.
You have to do what the investor says.
Fine.
We'll abide by the investor's decision.
I'll put this on hold until we get her decision.
Any objections?
Okay, then.
Why that...
Is it because she studied abroad? She has no respect.
She's creating havoc as soon as she came.
Just fire her.
Terminate her contract and pay the cancellation fee.
We shouldn't have entrusted a kid like her with our marketing.
Pay the cancellation fee...
We don't have the money for that.
What...
As expected, they relied on the investor card.
I hope they keep doing exactly as we expect.
Mr. Kang's article is ready.
Send it to me.
Bye.
Come in.
Are you okay?
What do you mean?
You were yelled at by the board as soon as you started.
I figured it must be hard, fighting all alone.
Don't worry about it. I expected that.
Do you have something you want to say?
Did you come to Korea three years ago?
No.
Are you a twin?
I'd like to meet that woman you're referring to...
and see just how much she looks like me.
Were you in a car accident?
Do you have amnesia or something like that?
I told you over and over.
Don't you understand Korean? Should I say it in English?
I don't know who you are.
Director Koo's here.
He is?
I know you.
You may not know me,
but I know you.
Get out.
I don't know how to act like I don't know you when I do.
I said to get out.
Why did you come to my company just to act like you don't know me?
Why?
Get out.
(Gracious Revenge)
The new marketer wants to stop the detox line.
It would be fine if you'd back it, Carry.
You'll help us, won't you?
I can't wait to see...
what marketing strategy is worth betting your life on.
If you can't keep your promise, will you really leave this industry?
Wait and see.
This is Yoo Ra's.
- What? - It's Yoo Ra's.
And you call yourself a dad?
How could you say that?
You can forget her if you want, but I'll never forget Yoo Ra.
I'll die before I forget her!
