(Lee Jun Mo)
(Also known as: Chase Lee Education: New York University)
(Graduate School: Columbia University)
He used a high-risk, high-return equity fund...
to take over Sunshine Bank for a bargain price...
and obtained a huge return.
(President Lee Hye Won)
He buys up companies that are in danger of bankruptcy,
restructures the business while calling it an innovation,
increases the value of the business,
and then sells it for profit,
a master of killer takeovers.
I don't know how you lived your life,
but I have an idea of how you made your money.
Ms. President, it's time.
Do you not wish to go to this meeting?
No reason is more important than this meeting in my situation.
This is the only choice I can make right now.
The difference between a positive attitude...
and a negative attitude is...
something that can change the level of your luck.
So please don't focus on the negative side.
All right. I'll stay positive.
And if I must be patient, I have to be.
- Please get the car ready. - Yes, ma'am.
President Lee.
I thought I should accompany you to your meeting with Mr. Chase Lee.
According to a reliable source,
he's a guy who only seeks his own profit.
Can you handle him by yourself?
Didn't you know? My feisty personality is my charm.
What's your plan?
You can't ask me for my trade secret.
I'll leave after giving him a clear and simple message.
Here.
Do you want to eat out tomorrow night?
Aren't you sick of pasta?
Not at all.
It's so good.
I'll miss...
your pasta.
What is it?
Will you go back to Korea...
when your language study ends?
I have to.
I can't help it.
What if...
I don't let you go?
We aren't going to break up just because I'll return to Korea.
The trip is 14 hours from Korea to America,
even on a direct flight.
It's not impossible to be in a long-distance relationship.
But I don't want anyone else to take you away from me.
Jun Mo.
Love and doubt cannot be together.
I'm not saying you're suspicious of me.
I mean that you have all my heart...
because I love you.
When I hold you in my arms,
I feel emotional...
and begin to sense something burning in me.
This is love, right?
Hye Won, I choose...
us.
If you can't stay here,
I can always go back to Korea.
My studies and my plans...
aren't as important as you.
I can give up on everything.
I'll choose to be together.
What's wrong? Are you afraid because I seem too obsessive?
Jeez.
Hey, don't glare at me like that.
Because I'm that pretty when I glare at you.
You've become quite bold.
Hey.
How should I...
greet him?
You look as if you're wondering how you'll greet me.
Hye Won.
I came to hang out with you.
Let's have some fun,
like our good old days.
Sung Yoon.
I thought you were going home right after your meeting...
with our subcontractor's legal team.
I was on my way home,
then I saw that the office was still lit up.
I knew you would have skipped dinner.
I already ate...
with the subcontractor's legal team.
Thanks.
Later. I'll eat later.
They want to change Article Six of the Standard Subcontractor Contract,
the procedure for negotiating...
unit cost adjustment, right?
How did you know?
They're trying to make changes for their benefit...
immediately after hearing that our investment fell through.
I said I'd read it over...
and call them back after checking if their request was valid.
Sung Yoon, do you have more work to catch up on?
No.
I thought President Lee might need me after the meeting.
If you really like someone,
you won't even realize you're trying again.
Did I just cross the line?
Min Ju. Attorney Choi Min Ju.
Were you worried about me?
I'm not going to say no.
I already know what you're like,
so I don't care about how people say...
you two had an affair.
But it's true that many still talk about...
your scandal with Ms. Lee.
Will you keep talking about something I didn't even ask?
Will you continue to have your eyes only on her?
I must've offended you.
Anyway, aren't you going home?
Can you give me a ride?
I've now aged enough to believe honesty was always the truth.
But let me be frank with you.
I need your help to save our business.
I know. That's why I'm sitting here next to you.
Tell me. What do you want?
Someone as keen as you wouldn't help me unconditionally.
"Unconditionally."
Unconditional. Yes.
The word unconditional literally means just that,
without any condition.
Why did you come to this meeting if you were going to be sarcastic?
I told you. I wanted to hang out with you.
What do you want to do?
Why do you want to hang out with me?
I'm the truest to myself...
whenever I'm with you.
Hye Won.
There's one similarity between life as a rich man...
and a poor man.
It's that life isn't fun.
Mr. Lee Jun Mo.
You'd never waste your precious time showing an act of bravado.
I'm not that busy.
I'm not here to fight.
I came because I must survive.
You're still the same.
You're still as selfish as ever,
only concerned about your life and your situation.
It's been a long time. Why do you still hate me?
How could I forget a woman who made me cry with her words?
Hye Won, let's discuss work in the office,
according to the procedure.
Jeez.
I'm a crazy man for money who only cares about money.
My job is to make the impossible possible.
You must know already if you looked over my files.
First, I'll conduct an extensive due diligence review for YJ.
I'll start with the pre-valuation and the post-valuation.
But I have one condition.
Prepare an office for me...
right in front of yours.
I gave this a thought...
and realized President Lee Hye Won...
would need aggressive marketing strategies.
Hey, be tactical even when you get angry.
I'm leaving.
What do I do?
- Stop it! - Darn it!
The numbers just won't add up.
Turn down the volume.
What continues is...
What's wrong? Do we have more, or are we short?
We would never have more.
Enough is enough.
That hardcore girl, Hye Won, will come at me with blazing eyes.
Gosh, Young Ju. You lost your temper over a few pennies.
Don't get on my nerves this late in the night.
I have already let go of my temper...
to humor Hye Won...
by recording everything Hye Ji does,
including what she eats, watches on TV,
and even the sound of her breathing.
I have to report everything to Hye Won.
Darn it.
Gosh. Try to get the numbers right.
You dimwit. Why can't you calculate even with a calculator?
Stop getting cute.
I was built for literature, not math.
You're only good with words.
Give it to me.
Hye Ji, what's taking you so long with the ginger tea?
The water just began to boil. I'll be there soon.
Why does this feel so familiar?
Have I ever given a sleeping pill to someone before?
Who did I give it to?
Hey.
- Hello. - Hello.
This way, please.
(Resume: Kim Soon Yi)
You look different from the photo. Are you really Ms. Kim Soon Yi?
I recently got plastic surgery.
I should have taken a new photo for the resume.
I apologize.
If you look closer,
you can still see my old face.
It's a great part-time job that pays 5,000 dollars a month.
All you have to do is clean, do the laundry,
and take deliveries. That's all.
On top of that, this unbelievably rich guy...
lives alone.
My domestic helper agency gave me this gig...
because I was the best one there,
but I had the worst luck.
I slipped in the bathroom last night.
No, I haven't told my work yet.
If anyone is willing to give me ten percent as a commission,
I'll just hand it over to them.
Are you sure you can't do it? Why not?
I'll give you 15 percent.
Do you want to make a deal with me?
Ms. Kim, I will make the final decision...
after confirming your skills.
Please make the bed.
Not bad.
Thank you for your service.
But please don't clean up my room.
Who was the man that just popped into my memory?
You have quick and skillful hands.
Yes, I do.
I must've worked at a cleaner's.
I mean, I have.
- Ms. Kim. - Yes?
You passed. You may begin tomorrow.
Really? Thank you.
I'll do my best.
Is Bae Do Eun...
still cuckoo?
It seems so.
One moment.
Please take a look.
Who's this old man?
I haven't found out yet.
Does she have a thing for old guys?
Where did she find a guy like that?
Put this away. I've had enough.
I've toured famous hotel restaurants to find this meal box.
Do you not like it?
Do you think it'll taste good?
I've been eating this for four years like I was in "Old Boy."
Make sure you keep an eye on everything...
that Bae Do Eun does.
Gosh. When will that girl...
get her memories back?
Could she be putting on a show as if she lost her memories?
Right, she's more than capable of doing something like that.
She had already deceived me for months...
with that fake baby bump.
Did you notice anything suspicious when you followed her?
I ran into her last time,
and she didn't recognize me at all.
That sly and wicked girl.
If she were an actress, she would've won...
the Best Actress Award for the Academy Awards.
When do I find out if I can be bailed?
The legal team said it might not be easy.
Why not?
You don't have any medical emergencies.
Also, you haven't had too much to eat in here,
so your blood sugar level has become stable.
So what? Do I have to go blind from my blood sugar level to leave?
Putting on a show in a wheelchair as if you were ill...
won't be effective in this day and age.
That was why I told you...
to do what Chairman Jang of Mirae Group did.
Look at him.
He never sets foot outside of his house...
and is willing to report...
every phone conversation he has as a part of his bailout deal.
Jeez.
Tell Hye Won to visit me tomorrow.
Things have been difficult with the business lately.
Her dismissal became an agenda...
during the emergency board meeting yesterday.
I thought she had found a new investor.
Wasn't Chase Lee of Vision Investment interested?
He scheduled a meeting with Ms. Lee,
but quite a number of shareholders protested...
as he was an investor infamous for hunting down businesses.
Business hunters are...
supposed to buy cheap and sell for much higher.
I've already lost my right...
to say anything about the business,
so I couldn't care less...
if YJ faltered or went down.
But I believe my late mother made a mistake...
when she gave away...
all of her shares to Hye Won.
All baits come with a hook.
That old woman forgot that.
Mr. Kim, I heard...
you began to side with Hye Won.
Yi Ra visited me last week and told me everything.
I'll always be on your side until my last breath.
I had to stick around her...
to report on everything she did.
If you gave me loyalty, stick around until the end.
Once I get out and retrieve the slush fund I hid away,
your life will also turn around completely, Mr. Kim.
Anyway, how do you think...
Bae Do Eun always knows where the money is?
Well, it was...
my mistake.
I never imagined she'd copy a card key...
she knew nothing about and switched them out.
However,
she probably didn't know...
that the card key...
was the key to the safety box at S Bank in the Bahamas...
that stored 50 million dollars...
I embezzled by using a shell company.
She wouldn't know that.
No, she couldn't know.
It's only been three years since Mom passed away,
but visitors to her memorial service have been reduced by over half.
That's how much people care about each other now.
I'll babysit Yong Ki. You should sit down and rest.
You must've had a tough time...
at the memorial service after a tough day at work.
I'm fine. I'll look after him.
Let's get changed first, Yong Ki.
I want to go with Grandaunt.
Hey, you have such a great son.
He wants to order me around just in case you're too tired.
Let's go to your room, Yong Ki.
You and I can brush our teeth together too.
People say profound sadness hits you harder later on.
I miss her more and more as time passes by.
Mom, I thought...
you'd live forever.
Whenever I think of you,
I only have memories I want to throw away.
I always gave you a hard time...
because I was...
such a mean and foolish daughter.
But still, how could you...
pass away so quickly, as if you were betraying me?
Mom.
In our next lives, if there is such a thing as that,
please be born as my daughter.
Mom...
Hye Won, my mother will be heartbroken on the other side...
if YJ Goes down.
You must keep it together just as you promised her.
I will.
It wasn't easy for me to make that promise.
I knew I was nothing,
so I took up my job thinking I could be anything.
I will keep YJ together,
and I have a good reason to do so.
There is...
no such thing as affection between you and me.
I can pass away any day now,
so I do not wish to beg you.
We made a deal...
according to your terms.
Deals are not made by words.
You said contracts were promises,
and money was the guarantee.
Of course, money can't change everything.
But I also learned that...
the truth could be silenced when money spoke.
I adore how clever you are.
I only trust you up to 50 percent.
Ji Chang tried to hurt Bae Do Eun,
but you said you'd let his case go as suicide.
Your sister was unconscious and bedridden...
after that incident,
but in return for covering up the mastermind behind the accident,
you got to raise Yong Ki yourself...
and made a promise to protect YJ...
as his guardian.
No, that deal.
Make sure you keep your terms.
What if I call this deal off...
after you pass away, Grandmother?
Once you take that position,
you will change.
You will continue to run forward with all your mind, just like me.
You'll learn to trample on stones you can trample on...
and even kick them when they get in your way.
My bet is...
that you will change.
I trust what greed does to people.
Yes, have a seat, Director Bae.
- Sit over here. - Yes, ma'am.
Your father-in-law was sentenced to five years...
for creating a slush fund.
He must've held a grudge against me...
because I did not get him out.
And once I pass away,
he will roll up his sleeves...
to satisfy his greed.
Two years after my death,
you'll begin your succession for my position.
If your father-in-law becomes a hindrance,
Director Bae will step in.
There are files...
of President Yoon's corruption...
only we have in possession, something that cannot be exposed.
I will pull them out one after the other...
and make sure he does not make another move.
Ji Chang has left this world.
And your father-in-law lived his life in vain.
I couldn't give my YJ...
to his hands only to let it go under.
And my daughter, Yi Ra.
Look after her...
and make sure she does not become disappointed.
I always keep my promises.
Once you receive Honorary Chairwoman's shares,
you can add it to the shares you've gathered under different names.
I've already put together the votes of shareholders on our side.
So, you do not have to worry...
about the succession in two years.
Your appointment will be announced this week.
You can begin your career as the junior managing director...
of Strategic Planning.
You may leave for a moment.
Yes, ma'am.
As I watched you oversee Judan Arts Foundation,
I noticed that you knew how to take the initiative...
and keep a great balance.
I already knew you had a good sense of responsibility...
and a great character.
My closest associates will give you support,
and the executives will help you out.
I will do my best to learn.
Also, if you must resolve a matter by money,
make sure you give them as much as they want...
so that they will never blurt out another word.
I'm not sure...
if I will do as well as you have, Grandmother.
It will take time.
And of course, you will not be able to sleep...
for 3 to 4 months.
However, you are strong.
I am?
What if I am only pretending?
Even if someone has a great character,
it doesn't always mean they'll be suitable as a leader.
As you run a business,
you will learn to use dirty tactics...
and take rugged roads.
At times, you must...
deceive and betray others.
Managing and operating a business means you must always be keen...
on taking your profit.
Do not give your affection to others.
If you do, they will all become your weakness.
The thing with humans is...
that they're only loyal when you have power.
This is a piece of advice...
from an old woman who knows what selfishness and trickery are.
Remember that.
Ms. Lee, Mr. Chase Lee...
of Vision Investment is here.
Hello.
My name is Baek Sung Yoon, the legal advisor of YJ Group.
Attorney Baek Sung Yoon.
This isn't the right time for me to shake hands with you.
I will consider...
investing in YJ positively.
But under one condition.
Fire him,
Attorney Baek Sung Yoon.
(The Two Sisters)
I'll quit.
You jerk.
The fight has been instigated, so I must end it too.
I need to see Lee Hye Won go under.
Remember. Remember it!
- Stop! - It must be easy for you.
You don't remember anything.
This means I was such a scum of the earth,
someone who shouldn't be forgiven.
