This is to commemorate our meeting.
You didn't have to.
I'm just amazed by your long friendship.
I'm sure these small gatherings will connect with each other for a greater purpose!
But I'm afraid one is rather late.
She said she can't make it.
How unfortunate.
Shall we?
To our friendship.
See you again. Goodbye.
Who is that man? How could he be so obvious?
You're quite intuitive.
Yeon Hee is a superhuman!
You should've told me in advance.
I always wait in front of that room.
And you made me miss his barging in.
I said he didn't give me any notice.
He canceled everything and told me to drive in this direction.
They're coming.
Episode 17
Secretary Lee!
I wasn't expecting to see you here.
I'm afraid so.
But it only makes our encounter more pleasant, doesn't it?
Yes, sir.
I'll see you at home.
- Let's go. - Yes, ma'am.
I'm wondering if the meal wasn't pleasant.
The food was good. Why?
I'm sorry for not telling you in advance about Mr. Han coming up.
It's fine. And please don't play guessing games.
I won't, ma'am.
Do not mention this until I give you further instructions.
- Understood, ma'am. - Not even to the kids.
Yes, ma'am.
Let's stop by at the department store. I want to buy a toy for Jin Young.
Sure. To the main store.
Okay.
So, the information source wasn't the National Intelligence Service but you?
The stock did go up in the end, maybe because of the rumor.
I just took a look at it once or twice. Don't think about it too much.
Hey, has Yeon Hee realized it yet?
See which one you like more! Which one?
There's a rabbit to! You like that?
What a nice smile!
Try to grab it! Like that!
Your grandmother got it from a department store!
You like it?
Grab it!
We can trace back based on Joo Young's story.
Here, before the court ruling, the Supreme Court precedent was reversed.
In the column, there is something like this.
Among the judges who made the ruling, two of them received Daesan Scholars.
The relationship between them and the lawyers of Hansong...
They either had their attorney training together, went to school together, or from the same town.
All these could have influenced the ruling.
The reason why the union won the appeal is because the judges were completely different.
And that had everyone excited because it made it all the way up to the Supreme Court...
But the case of that public corporation came out to be used as an adverse precedent.
We're saying that all these were not coincidences.
Just a guessing game.
The newest Supreme Court justice back then is of counsel of Hansong.
The former prime minister.
Do you remember saying hello to those old guys?
I remember all their faces were similar. With glasses and grey hair.
This doesn't constitute as evidence.
You'll only get the same vague answers you got before if you try with these.
Your father is a genius of expedient and rationalization.
You're right.
Eagles don't flap their wings often. They just ride the wind.
Try to be as quiet as possible as you do this.
I'll also observe you in silence.
Okay.
Goodbye. See you tomorrow.
I guess we should be more polite.
Yes.
Aren't you going home?
Something exciting is happening here.
I want to see how Mr. Han is going to face his wife.
You have weird hobbies!
That's right! You like it?
Look here, my prince!
That's right...
Okay, that's enough.
- You can put him in bed now. - Okay.
I want to play more! Father will wake him up anyway!
That shouldn't happen!
He needs sleep to grow tall! You like that?
Enough, okay?
You're right, ma'am. I'm trying to establish a set sleep schedule for him.
Good night, Jin Young!
How's everyone doing?
Welcome home.
Hello.
Welcome home.
My dear wife.
You're radiant today!
The sun that rises at night!
Thank you.
Is Jin Young sleeping?
I'm sorry. That's under the nanny's authority.
That's fine. I can just play with you!
Aren't you tired?
Not at all.
Have the kids heard anything?
They're being extremely polite today. I'm suspicious.
I'm being careful.
Don't you think it's too much?
I couldn't look at them straight.
The one who has a reason to feel guilty will make bigger moves to overcompensate.
It's not there yet, is it?
An emotional affair...
is more annoying.
She'll nag at us more.
Would you please take turns tonight and keep me posted?
I'm curious.
You're being too much. I must sleep too!
Yes, ma'am.
Go ahead. I forgot something.
Sure.
[Silence]
Pay attention to the mood of their bedroom.
Pardon?
Secretary Yang thinks it'd be better if you're aware of it.
There's no need for you to tell me everything in such detail.
But please tell me nonetheless.
Good night.
How much longer?
Yes?
Why is there no answer?
Darling...
I'm going to sleep.
Why?
I've been waiting for you.
Huh?
Why are you being like this?
Please bring me some self-defense weapons.
Nothing happened.
I think he's just charging at her.
It probably won't work.
- Are you refusing me? - Yes.
- Why? - Because I don't like it.
Why?
Tell me. What's the reason?
Where did you learn to be so petulant?
I've been nothing but understanding of your middle-school education.
Are you just flat-out ignoring the mom's teachings?
This is why the birth rate is going down and taking the country down with it!
This is sad.
You've always been like an orchid...
But you're only getting more and more violent.
Be quiet. I'm fed up with your talking.
Is...
Something weird about me?
Sir?
In the center of my face...
There's nothing abnormal, sir.
Okay.
Beep, beep!
Jin Young is coming! Beep, beep!
Jin Young!
- Good morning. - Did you sleep well?
Yes.
Hi, Jin Young.
Is there anything you've heard?
I'm sorry.
I guess it happened already.
But I won.
You're amazing.
Jin Young! Let's go play with grandma!
Let's go! The prince is coming!
- Beep, beep! - I'll play with you!
There we go...
Play with grandma!
Let's see...
- Here. - Thanks.
So fun, isn't it?
Let's wipe your drool first.
You can't do that, Jin Young.
There was no sign of a physical fight.
They use good medicine. No bruises.
He has no right to resort to violence.
That's not it. The Missus attacked.
Seriously?
Do you think you can come out with me later?
Did Secretary Min contact you?
Yes, I told her we're lacking evidence and she offered to browse the documents with us.
That would be great.
I'm going to school, so do some groundwork for tonight.
I think it'd be okay.
You think so?
You want me to hold you like this?
Is this what you want?
Hi, father!
You should lose some weight, Yi Ji!
It's too early for that kind of comment...
Say hello to your auntie! Tell her not to mind her father!
- Okay, Jin Young. - Don't mind him, auntie!
Don't mind him, auntie!
Smiling at his aunt!
You recognize your aunt? You do!
Right? Jin Young?
Father is in a terrible mood.
Your father isn't the entire universe.
Your mother is very happy.
How?
Somehow. She isn't in a bad mood.
There's nothing weird about it.
I'm meeting them as a legal counsel. I'm not trying to influence them in any way.
I guess it'll be awkward in the beginning to deal with civil servants.
I've memorized all related laws but I'm still worried.
There's a solution for that.
Ask about the difficulties of their jobs.
They'll probably talk for two days if you don't stop them!
You'll get a lot of important information too.
It'll be easier to establish your case.
Understood, sir.
Good luck, then.
Good luck.
Let's see how it goes first then discuss.
Yes, sir.
There's a chance that the sewage treatment and design case might become the main one.
That would be ideal.
Ms. Yang? A moment, please.
Sure.
Send some flowers and gifts to my house.
Yes. What's the concept?
My generosity and love.
Okay. What are you thinking for the gift?
Some kind of jewelry. Something new and limited.
Okay. Any idea on what to write on the card?
I need some time for that one.
Give me a call once you buy the gift. I'll tell you then.
Okay, sir.
And also...
We...
We do give gifts to our clients too, right?
We do, sir.
Buy one more when you're at it.
For Chairman Jang's wife.
So your mistress is the wife of Chairman Jang.
What?
Well... Yeah...
I'm disappointed that you didn't tell me anything.
I feel like I've become useless to you.
Not at all.
That's not what I meant.
The nature of our relationship is different.
Please look at us without any prejudice.
How?
There's something genuine about us.
It may be friendship...
Don't people of my age usually have friends of opposite gender?
To me...
Considering your insane workload...
I just hope she's providing you with some sort of a refuge,
regardless of the nature of the relationship.
That's right. That's it.
The classic method.
Do you think he's underestimating us? Or does he want us to turn a blind eye?
Obviously both.
Who is the woman?
You shouldn't say that out loud.
I can't dare to ask him!
- See you later. - Goodbye.
Is he before or after getting caught?
Mr. Kim...
These are all just meaningless chitchats to me.
I see.
- Would you please hold the elevator? - Of course.
From this morning.
She can wave her hands too!
She's getting prettier every day!
At least in my eyes, yes.
Who is it?
What do you mean?
You can be comfortable with me. I'm not with the mainstream of this firm.
That's nonsense.
You may have not gone to a law school but you're still responsible for important things!
Never mind that. I'm very curious about who it is.
I'm afraid you've been mistaken about me.
Right. This is your 30th year.
Of course. I'm sure you've learned a lot over those years.
Sorry.
We might stop by later tonight.
We're not sure yet, so we'll keep you posted.
In Sang says he might stop by. What could it be about?
He often visits us just to see us.
It's not like he came to see us last time because he had a reason!
I'm not giving him any alcohol this time.
If no alcohol, then what are we going to do?
Apparently he does something bad in front of his parents after every time he visits here!
I'm concerned about that.
That's their own business.
Besides, you don't need to be concerned about his parents anymore.
We have the power now! At least morally!
You're being so ridiculous.
It's immoral to gauge a personal relationship as someone being more powerful than the other!
We're not on the moral high ground.
I just want us to be more proud.
Being proud is different from being obnoxious.
I'm not even entitled to that much?
I don't do any of the immoral things that are often carried out by the men of my age!
I'm not being obnoxious.
I'm just expressing my dignity.
Only do it in front me. I'll respect you.
I'm going to take a nap.
There's no customer.
Sweet dreams!
Okay. We won't be expecting anything.
Don't be sorry even if you don't make it.
- Where is Hyeon Soo? - Didn't come.
Is your home okay? No war has broken out yet?
Why?
My mom was concerned.
I don't know what you're talking about. Concerned about what?
It's about adults being childish.
Just ignore it if you don't know.
Okay.
I've been told your father startled everyone at Uncle Jae Won's place.
You should look into it if you're curious. My mom told me to act like I don't know anything.
My father does that often.
No, not like that, It was more personal.
Yes, he startles people personally.
I couldn't say it because I don't want you to get angry...
Then don't do it. I don't want to know.
Just use it as a reference.
There'll be a war between your parents.
Because your father has been too obvious.
That's...
What kind of obvious?
To Hyeon Soo's mother... Well...
So...
Why can't you speak?
You never heard this from me.
Okay. Continue.
- So this happened a long time ago... - And?
Are you certain? Have you talked to Yeon Hee?
I'm too scared to ask.
Han Jeong Ho has lost his mind.
Could it be that you gave him some shred of hope?
I told you I didn't.
Really? Be honest, it's me!
There's nothing. He's just doing this on his own.
Han Jeong Ho may have some emotional problems...
But it doesn't make sense that his infatuation was reignited for no reason.
That's what makes him insane.
What?
I don't know.
That's what I've decided. That's right.
Then you should tell him straightforward!
I have nothing more to tell him!
Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm leaving.
Don't expect any advice from me.
I don't need it.
Hey, So Jeong.
I think this is about to be a big problem.
Jeong Ho was always like that.
But Young Ra is being weird too.
The investment club will be in trouble if it comes to that!
We've started it for fun, but now it has become serious!
Just imagine what'll happen if Yeon Hee doesn't give us any more information!
I've decided to forgive you first.
You don't need to say you're sorry.
Please check...
If he has bought anything else from here.
I think those things only happen in the movies.
Do it.
Yes, ma'am.
It's not good for a woman to be so savvy about those things...
What is it?
Yes...
Well...
It seems like I don't need to check.
The same product as Chairman Jang's wife.
Why am I never wrong about this kind of intuition?
Mother of Jang Hyeon Soo?
That's right.
I won't say much.
Going to Singapore for work next Friday.
You'll receive a first-class ticket of the evening flight via email.
I'll be there before you. See you at the hotel.
Han Jeong Ho.
Could it be that...
The flowers came from Hansong?
Who?
The flowers.
That's my phone!
You always browse through mine.
I don't know who it is. It was a wrong entry.
Give it to me. I'm going to delete him.
I got it!
This girl...
Hello? I'm the daughter of Ji Young Ra.
Who?
Right!
You're in the same grade as In Sang, right?
How's school?
Good. But...
Why is Hansong sending gifts to my mother?
Are you the one who's sending them?
My firm often sends out gifts to our big clients to express our gratitude.
Of course the best thing we can give is winning lawsuits...
But we're thankful that our clients believe in us during the process.
May I talk to your mother?
It seems like you take my father as a pushover.
You scared him and made him pretend like he's sick.
And now you want my mother?
I'm rather familiar with my mother's taste.
I don't believe you're her type.
Why?
- Stop it! - Whatever!
Young Ra!
- Give it to me. - No!
I think there's an argument.
Hello?
Ji Young Ra!
Don't hang up...
Why are you being so sensitive?
I was just kidding around because of you.
And that's how you became close?
What did you just say?
You're pretty great if you just stay still.
- I know. - Then please!
Then behave yourself!
Both deliveries have been made safely.
It seemed like it.
I've been told that your wife is very pleased.
Children are always the problem!
Pardon?
They can never leave the shadow of their parents.
The right course for them should be leaving their home once they're in college!
If her mother did all that to raise her, she should know when to set her free!
Everyone in this country is immature! There are no individuals here!
She's not recognizing her mother as an individual!
Look at those American kids. They pack up and leave once they become adults.
So the lady's daughter is not very keen?
It's not just her. Everyone is like that.
Why do we always have to worry about the opinion of our children?
I do understand how you're feeling...
But I'm not sure what to tell you this time. It's not something special...
You're being rather peculiar. I think you should be more cautious.
Why do I have to be more cautious?
I'm not sure what to tell you...
You're not making much sense right now.
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
You may leave.
Yes, sir. Call me if you need anything.
- You're back. - I just got back.
May I go in?
I think he needs some alone time.
Okay.
Are you not going to report back to him?
I think he's confusing his work and personal life right now.
I see.
Is he often like that?
This is my first time seeing him like that.
Get a friend in the Secretary's Office. It'll be helpful in your communication.
All three of them are quite unique.
They seem like it.
Good day.
I have to report something to Mr. Han. But it's almost time to go home.
May I ask you how he's feeling before I go in?
You're quite funny!
Thank you.
I'll notify you when the right moment comes.
Thank you.
He knows what he's doing!
There must be a reason why Mr. Han is keeping him on this floor.
If possible, get Secretary Yang on the outside but Min Joo Young for the inside.
That would be the most beneficial. For your reference.
It sounded like it's nothing too serious. Just some stories from the past.
Their feelings are hurt because of that.
But things are not bad for us right now.
If they're in sync, they'll try to intervene in everything we do!
Did you contact Secretary Min again?
Yes.
Tell them we're going on a small date after dinner.
Your mother won't be dining with you. She had a late lunch.
The drawing room.
She wants to see you.
Okay.
- I'll be back. - Okay.
I think the lady is determined.
Huh?
She wants everyone to sleep somewhere else tonight.
Including Yi Ji. She wants her to stay with Mr. Jeong.
Oh, my...
It's dinnertime, isn't it?
I'll be quick.
You should bring your husband and son to go see your parents.
Sorry?
Have a date with In Sang while your parents are playing with Jin Young.
Mother...
You don't want to?
I do want to. But...
I'm just wondering if you're going to see the end with father...
I'm afraid I've told you too much.
You must learn how to pretend like you don't know any of the elders' business.
I apologize. I'll be careful from now on.
But mother... I'll be cheering for you.
Okay. Eat up and go before it gets too late.
Okay.
She was being so weird. I don't understand her.
Why can't you understand her? She's a human being too.
Nothing changes when we get older.
Then why do I even live? If I'm going to be the same after all those years?
Look at the positive side.
Mr. Han can be pretty... dewyeyed.
Who? Are you talking about our boss?
I have to pretend like I don't know anything.
I just realized that you both work directly with him!
Please don't say this to someone else. I'm embarrassed.
What was it again? I didn't hear it properly.
Me either.
I heard your sister has a great respect for her father-in-law.
I don't know.
Then forget it. Just keep working on that.
Okay.
I think someone's calling you.
Hey, Bom. What's up?
What is he like at work?
He looks pretty awesome.
Really? Now?
That looks weird, grandfather!
Can't you hear them?
Yes, we're here. Come quickly.
- There's no baby formula. - I double checked before.
I thought this is the powder for after-bath.
That's... This.
But we must go soon.
- I know. - Your sister's coming soon, no?
We should go before she gets here.
I'm sorry for killing the buzz. Apparently my nephew is home.
It sounds like your sister seldom comes to visit.
Yes, she practically never comes.
I'll be back after seeing her off.
Don't come back. I'm going home too.
Then I guess I'll go too. Let's all leave together.
Please do come into my house for a bit.
I don't want to encounter my mom alone.
I'm coming down. Please get the car ready.
He took care of his business while eating!
Nice work!
We're going to the market.
Okay. You won't be long, right?
Of course not.
Can Jin Young sleep here tonight?
You can try.
Come back soon.
Okay.
Yes, mother. We're all good and having fun.
How are you doing?
Not scared?
Ask her if father is drunk.
I'm fine.
If something goes awry, I'll call you. You can come rescue me.
Okay.
You should relax at your parents' place. Enjoy yourself.
Okay.
I'm surprised you both managed to get out at night.
The timing was perfect today.
I think there's a problem between my parents.
I think my mother is determined to speak her mind tonight.
She made everyone, including the employees, to leave the house.
So it was an easy escape.
I must apologize. I should be taking care of this...
Don't say that.
We're so thankful already for showing us the reality.
Seriously, uncle.
I guess you don't want to believe these stories when you're the "Little Missus" of the house.
It's not about whether I believe them or not.
My uncle can't wear short-sleeved shirts in the summer...
And also your brother...
That's the truth, but people like my father don't think that way.
He says we must forget the past. We don't agree with him.
Perhaps he is scared too. It might come back to haunt him.
So we hope to show him the reality before that happens.
I hope you're successful. He loves his children.
Don't tell this to the family, uncle.
I don't know...
I feel like I'm burdening you unnecessarily...
Not at all.
Do you mean that?
I just want to be powerful.
Just something more than being a nice daughter-in-law.
Give us all the documents.
I'm home.
Is Jin Young sleeping?
Yes, he just fell asleep.
Your father is next to him.
The kids went out for a bit.
Why are you standing like that? The kids will be back any moment.
Well...
Are you here with someone?
Yes.
Is he...
Yes... He's outside.
I told him to come in and say hello...
Oh, my... What's happening with the world?
You said you'll never bring anyone to a place like this.
It all depends on the man.
Would you be okay, mother?
I don't mind at all. I'm just worried that you might regret it later.
I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Then bring him up right now! Stop making him wait!
Okay.
How's everyone?
What's everyone doing?
Welcome home.
What's going on? Is everyone sleeping already?
Secretary Kim. You can go home.
Pardon?
Everyone's spending the night outside.
I made sure no one told you in advance.
Why? Did something happen?
You may leave, Mr. Kim.
Yes, ma'am. Good night.
Are you really leaving?
I'm afraid so, sir.
I was just reminded of the majesty of your wife.
Majesty?
Secretary Kim!
Isn't this your home?
Why, you can't find your way around on your own?
No one is here...
What are you doing?
Why are you doing this?
I just want you to imagine your future.
What?
Why are you determining my future? I've decided it already!
Nothing matters anymore if there's no one around you.
If you continue living like that, this is what will happen to you.
Call everyone back!
We seldom get a quiet house. I like it.
I'm scared.
You didn't make these, did you?
I got them delivered. I don't want to cook tonight.
They taste... unique.
I can't eat these. They're not good.
I'll give it to Mr. Kim when he comes.
So spoiled...
I'll try to do something to it.
You don't need to! Just don't eat it!
Just let me know what's where.
You can find them yourself. I don't want to move an inch.
Secretary Kim is probably so tired, serving both Big and Little Misses!
But don't you think Mr. Han really has no idea when it comes to women?
How can he be going through adolescence at his age?
In the most childish way, too!
In a way, it was all predictable.
His mom wasn't probably perfect. She failed to teach him about women.
When I started working for the family, Mr. Han was in the 11th grade.
His tutor was a college girl, and she was really pretty!
His mom gave him a pretty tutor so he won't watch porn videos.
He had a tutor for each subject.
And her main subject was...
That's how he got his supply of women!
No wonder why he doesn't know how to handle them!
He doesn't even know they're actually people!
But that's the dream of every man.
That's why men are monsters.
Be quiet!
I'm working on something that'll go into that mouth.
Nothing was natural for him.
His mother just thought treating him like a prince would solve everything!
And now, many rich mothers are following her method!
I think In Sang and his wife are about to realize how monstrous Mr. Han is.
Is that so?
It's just the matter of time.
- I guess he's here. - Yes?
- Sorry for being late! - Welcome!
May I come in?
I must discuss some reports too...
I'll let this one slide.
I guess Secretary Min's brother has no hope of recovery.
Probably none.
Why do you not show me the picture?
Knowing about your uncle was already enough.
I didn't try to know before.
I think I didn't want to know.
I just wanted to look past it by thinking there are many people like him.
If we think in that way...
That means I've been ignoring the source of all the money I've spent since birth...
I think it was stupid of me to ask that question to your father.
I couldn't even rebut.
That's when I woke up from being intoxicated by being called "Little Missus."
But I still felt powerless.
You can do well from now on.
Living a double life while behaving kindly.
Are you confident about double life?
I've already done it with you. When we used to date under the radar.
It was quite thrilling!
No one really knew?
Yi Ji caught me once.
But we called it even since I know that she's a fangirl for an idol group.
I like you! Even more!
Let's go.
I'm a bit concerned that you work at Hansong...
But I won't mind that too much.
What if you end up breaking up?
It'd be awkward if I start pressuring you after meeting you briefly today.
I understand what you mean.
But that's too harsh, mother.
This is very difficult for him.
Don't say that.
We're back!
Welcome! Hello!
Why are you so late? Come up!
Your boyfriend?
- Your brother-in-law. - Right!
Hello.
Say hello.
I believe we've met before.
Yes, we have.
Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.
Hello.
You guys know each other?
Yes, we met at my friend's office.
Yes, he is my mother's friend, and he went to the same school as my father.
I guess everyone's connected with each other in your neighborhood!
Yes, indeed.
This is great! We got this.
Okay! Open them!
Open what?
Father...
We have a guest.
What?
Pleased to meet you, sir!
You said you were seeing someone...
This is him?
Yes...
Hey...
I guess you didn't tell everything to mom and dad
No, I didn't.
How can I explain to them that it was only possible thanks to you?
I'd prefer if you don't say it in the future too.
Why?
You don't want mom and dad to know how powerful you are at your home?
It's not the real power yet.
Is that so?
And...
Your relationship with him isn't sealed yet either.
Of course I want you two to... stay together.
Then just observe us.
We might not be as good as you two, but we'll make a decent couple.
I hope you two will genuinely love each other.
So you can triumph over all sorts of difficulties.
What are you talking about?
I told you already. My power isn't ready yet.
Right now, I'm just riding on the back of a tiger.

Your father is causing a lot of trouble.
I'm going to spray this on you!
Everyone knows, except you. You're the stupidest one.
I am?
What?
I think Mr. Han is about to do something big!
