(Episode 63)
That woman took a string...
and tried to strangle me.
Yi Chul, I heard your mistress had delusional disorder.
Her condition seems dire. Should you keep her at home?
The sick should be at a hospital.
How dare you treat me like I'm a mental patient?
You can't insist on this just because no one was there.
No, someone was there.
Hye Won was here.
Say something, Hye Won.
Aunt Soo Jung, Bae Do Eun is crafty, so don't let her get to you.
She's an expert at making things up.
Yi Chul, you know me well.
I'm such a coward that I can't even kill an ant.
Well, you're friendly and kind,
so you'll never hurt anyone.
Do Eun, this setup was...
way over the line.
You didn't take your medicine, did you?
I did. Why won't you believe me?
You knew I had delusional disorder,
so you put on a show...
by grabbing a knife in the annex kitchen...
and made me think I was seeing things,
trying to scare me like you were Oh Soo Hyang!
Why are you framing me when we haven't even met before?
And you're talking down to me too. Where are your manners?
She never went to the annex after she came here.
Yi Chul, your mistress was there, where my sister used to live,
so why would I go there?
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in you,
but what happened between a married couple wasn't my business.
I wasn't saying what you did was right,
but honestly, my sister wasn't too affectionate.
This woman can keep her poker face.
How can she act that cool to a brother-in-law...
who left her twin sister?
She's the sliest one of them all.
This was why Hye Won called her.
I told you to brace yourself.
An immature girl like you has nothing on me.
I'll kick you out within a week.
You all think I'm mental,
but I'll prove that it's not a delusion,
so follow me.
You must be tired after a long flight,
and it's late, so you should get some rest.
We can talk tomorrow.
She told us to follow her, so let's go.
Let's see what she's going to show us.
Do you have to keep her here,
someone who suffers from a delusional disorder?
Feel free to move out if you don't like it.
You're acting ridiculous and holding out in my house...
by using your late mother-in-law as an excuse.
I get it. Did you call Soo Jung?
Was she someone who'd come when I asked her to?
I don't know what you're cooking,
but nothing will go your way.
And nothing will go your way either.
My gosh.
You stupid girl.
Did you think I forgot to have it cleaned up?
I forgot that you had someone else on your side in this house.
I apologize, Ms. Oh.
It's frustrating to think she's one of my blood.
Was she really related to Hye Won by blood?
How can an upright girl like Hye Won have...
such a shameless sister?
She never learned any better because she grew up...
with her ignorant mother.
If she has never learned, she should start learning now.
I won't flinch even if you all gang up on me.
You're talking to me, Bae Do Eun.
Well, goodnight, I guess.
How can you treat me like I was crazy in front of that woman?
Even if it was my delusion,
you needed to trust my words if you decided to work with me.
How could you stab my back?
This time, you really got me.
You have so much energy, yelling on and on for an hour.
There's no need for me to live in this house.
I've sinned greatly against you,
so I put up with your humiliation, abuse, and contempt,
but I can't do this anymore.
You weren't exactly remorseful during your stay here.
You got excited about playing a part and moved in...
because I offered you money and a chance to harass Hye Won.
I don't care about money or Hye Won.
I can't continue like this and destroy my pride.
Do Eun.
People say...
we'll come across the one at least once in our lives.
Someone who will rock like the waves...
and sink into your heart.
You were that person to me.
But once I came to my senses,
my life was swept out to the sea because of you,
who deceived me.
My feelings for you weren't fake.
Hye Won tried to kick me out,
so I pretended to be pregnant to stay by your side...
and kicked out your wife, too.
Goodness.
The problem came after that.
We'll have to live until the end to know how we'll end,
but both you and I will not face a happy ending.
So, what are you trying to say?
The end won't be happy anyway.
Wouldn't it be comforting...
if we all ended up in a fiery pit?
That was why I came to this house, to destroy Hye Won,
but you refused to work with me!
Did you think I believed Soo Jung's words?
Then what? Were you acting?
I had to pretend like I didn't believe you.
That way, Soo Jung would feel relieved...
and lower her guard against me, at least a little.
Then, you should've at least given me a signal.
It wouldn't have been realistic.
What's your plan?
When Hye Won had brought her here,
it couldn't have been just to kick you out of here.
She's anxious about Vision Investment's decision,
so she'll find another way through Soo Jung.
She's a famous furniture designer in Chicago,
and her American husband, Frank, is a big name in the defense business,
so she has all kinds of important connections.
Is there a way for me...
to stick around with her at all times?
I'll find a way to befriend her, go between her and Hye Won,
and pull her away from Hye Won.
You just made a scene with her.
How will you ever become her friend?
Nothing is impossible.
You just never try.
There might be a way.
I can have Soo Jung take charge of our products' renewal,
and you can start working in YJ's design team.
I don't know much about design,
but I'll do my best to design Oh Soo Jung.
But Do Eun,
I don't care what you do to destroy Hye Won,
but if you mess with my grandson, Yong Ki,
I will lose it.
I already told you. I adore Yong Ki.
At times, I even hoped he was our son.
You have his parental right,
so let's kick Hye Won out and raise him like our own.
Go sleep outside.
I agree.
Aunt Min Sook is always with him,
but I can't focus on work...
because I get so anxious that Bae Do Eun may hurt him.
I hear your business is planning...
- a design renewal project. - Yes.
Design is as important as the function these days.
I'll join that project...
and contact the design team about giving her a job.
It'd be safer if we kept her under our radar.
I finally feel relieved now that I have you here.
Hye Won, I received a call a few weeks ago.
She said she was the maid of the hotel where she died,
and she knew intricate details of the situation.
As you said, she saw Bae Do Eun...
walk out of Soo Hyang's room.
Why didn't she say anything back then?
She sold her conscience for money and let Bae Do Eun bribe her.
She's now terminally ill with cancer.
She wanted to confess the truth before she died,
so I went to see her,
but she was already in a coma.
It's been over six years since Mother passed away,
but I haven't done anything for her.
She gave me unconditional love,
but I couldn't even clear her false charges.
Don't cry.
It's not the time yet.
Until we clear her name from the sexual assault charge...
and expose the truth behind her mysterious death,
let us stay away from becoming emotional.
We can't afford the luxury of becoming emotional right now.
You're right.
We must think rationally and expose the truth.
Get some rest. You must be tired.
You had to put up with a scene after flying out here for 13 hours.
You must be exhausted.
I felt tense about all this, so I didn't even feel tired.
I put out new bedding in the guest room.
Let me know if you need anything.
Okay. Thank you.
Right, about CEO Chase of Vision Investment,
who's considering investing in YJ...
My husband, Frank, recently played golf with Saul Arkman,
the chairman of Vision Investment.
The chairman especially adores CEO Chase,
who once mentioned...
his father's death was...
related to YJ Group.
- What? - His father's death involved YJ,
yet he wanted to invest here.
Do you think his intentions are pure?
You should find out what happened.
I highly doubt you came because you missed me.
If you suddenly came over this late at night,
it must be quite urgent.
Perhaps.
By the look on your face,
I can tell that you're here to get an answer from me.
Let's cut to the chase.
Let me ask you something first.
You handed over an envelope to Yoon Yi Chul,
and it helped Hye Won...
take Yong Ki back from him.
What was inside?
I can't tell you that. No.
I don't want to.
- Why not? - Why do I have to tell you?
I'm asking you right now...
because I still believe you must be helping Hye Won.
Then, believe me.
Do not doubt.
But I've found some room for doubt.
So, you found room for doubt...
because of something in this envelope, correct?
May I take a look?
I brought it for you to look at.
You're quite aggressive.
(Decision of Patent Rejection Applicant Name: Lee Sang Kyu)
"Decision of Patent Rejection."
"Applicant Name."
"Lee Sang Kyu."
My father's name.
What do you want to know?
Why does the name Yoon Yi Chul appear...
on that document as his proxy?
This document already explained everything.
My father was a pharmaceutical researcher.
Twenty years ago, he found out that fermented burning bush extract...
helped improve cognitive ability.
He filed for the extract's patent as the applicant,
and Chairman Yoon Yi Chul was his proxy.
Yes, I'm asking you to explain this to me right now.
What was the relationship...
between your dad and Chairman Yoon, and what's the story between them?
So, are you trying to say...
you're suspicious of my intentions...
for approaching YJ to offer an investment?
No?
Let me take a guess on your real intention.
Sure, let me hear it.
The extract your father made back in 2004...
was rejected by the Korean Intellectual Property Office.
After that, the patent was registered again...
with Yoon Yi Chul as the applicant.
The fermented extract became a hit product,
bringing in quite a lot of profit for YJ.
This would mean Yoon Yi Chul only took advantage of your father.
After some time, his son became a big-name investor,
so he wouldn't want to let YJ thrive in business.
He'd want to crash it down or take over...
with a desire to get revenge.
Are you trying to say...
I approached Hye Won to take YJ down?
It's a possibility, isn't it?
Helping your father's enemy, YJ?
Doesn't that sound unreasonable?
Feelings don't coincide with reason.
I'm in love with Hye Won,
and I already know she must protect YJ,
like protecting her son, Yong Ki.
Don't be so ridiculous anymore.
I'm not sure if I can believe you.
You didn't plan to believe me.
Attorney Baek.
Life is lived in the present.
I invest in companies that are most likely to recover,
bring them back to success,
and take an enormous profit, which I enjoy doing.
So, at times, I take hostile mergers...
and even turn around coldly if they will not bring me profit.
In other words, I have invested my time with YJ...
as a choice to revive the business and make a profit.
I'm not someone who foolishly wastes his life on revenge,
stuck in the past and unable to see the future.
Was that good enough?
You can stick to any kind of plan...
to win your case, Mr. Chase.
Then, let me appeal to your feelings instead of giving you facts.
Hye Won makes me a good man,
so I will choose to smile in the end...
along with Hye Won.
Misunderstanding ensues where there's a lack of understanding,
so please leave.
I only trust those who are worthy of my trust.
Attorney Baek.
If you hate your rival too much, your judgment will be blurred.
So please, do not be the judge only from your perspective,
and do not live on instantaneous decisions.
I've known you for over 30 years, but I still can't get used to this.
I know you two are twins,
but how do you look exactly like Soo Hyang?
At least, I am more stylish.
She was kind of old-fashioned.
You must feel weird...
to have Soo Jung at home, who looks just like Soo Hyang.
It must be like living with your wife and mistress.
Try something called thinking before you speak.
Don't just blurt... Never mind.
Who can stop you from talking carelessly?
You need to be good to Soo Jung,
and twice as much for Soo Hyang.
To be frank, Mom began to approve of you...
after you married her and became in-laws with her influential family.
Are you trying to shame me to death?
You must feel bad, too.
Of course, you'd be scared to face Soo Hyang after your death.
She wouldn't be so harsh.
Let's stop discussing the past. It's making everyone uncomfortable.
Yi Chul.
To be honest,
I can't be thrilled about your life...
with that woman, Bae Do Eun.
But it's your life and your choice.
I respect that.
This is why I say we speak the same language.
It was a marriage of convenience anyway,
so everything might've been fine...
if someone open like you married him...
instead of the uptight Soo Hyang.
Goodness.
Soo Hyang was into him.
Anyway, the renewal project we were discussing before.
The design royalty is confirmed at 30 percent, right?
That's twice as much as our preexisting contract,
but you're a woman with a big reputation,
so I'll make the board pass the percentage.
In that case, may I recommend someone...
when you hire more people for the design team?
Of course, it's you who are asking me.
Okay.
("Forbos": Investing in your 20s, CEO Lee Jun Mo of Vision Investment)
Mr. Lee, what's your ideal type?
I can give you a very simple answer.
Someone like you, Reporter Lee Hye Ji.
Oh, my. What am I like?
You're smart, opinionated, have a set of values,
and are pretty when you get mad.
Am I like that?
You're talking about Lee Hye Won!
Darn it.
I wonder if he opened his safe today.
One, two, four, five, A.
Pick up your phone, Yi Chul.
The person you have reached is unavailable. Please...
Sung Yoon, you're suspicious...
that Mr. Chase offered to invest with a clear intention.
I'm not just suspicious. I'm certain.
His intention of investing in YJ was just the facade.
He wants something else.
I can tell you're uncomfortable...
about hearing this.
But you need to hear this out.
Let's say a man was deeply in love with a woman.
The business that woman operated...
was on the verge of bankruptcy,
and she reached out to him for help for the first time in decades.
I thought about what I would do if I were in Lee Jun Mo's shoes.
I wouldn't have shown up.
Let's say I couldn't care less about revenge,
just as he claimed.
But even if everything is in the past,
why would he make an effort to help out YJ,
the business that stole his father's patent?
Just because of his outdated feelings?
It does sound reckless and incomprehensible.
But it's not impossible when you put in a bit of trust.
YJ is in trouble because of financial difficulty,
but we have excellent technology...
and are economically viable in the future.
There's no reason not to invest for those with the eyes to see.
Are you saying...
you'll believe Lee Jun Mo?
My supposition could turn into a speculation.
But a simple conviction...
No, a suspicion isn't enough. I can't turn down Jun Mo's offer.
It's not that you can't.
You probably don't want to.
Be honest with your feelings.
You already gave him your heart.
Why not?
Sung Yoon, be honest with your feelings.
Are you doing this because you're jealous of Lee Jun Mo?
I'm trying to say you can never be too careful...
to avoid any trouble, Hye Won.
Do you know what the difference is between you and Jun Mo?
You're someone who can stop...
even if you have feelings for someone, but Jun Mo...
can't stop once he begins to harbor feelings.
That's how you two are different.
Where are you going, Ms. Lee?
We have an emergency finance meeting in ten minutes.
- Postpone it to the afternoon. - Yes, ma'am.
I trust CEO Lee Hye Won.
Chairman, please support my judgment,
and let's sell that company.
Selling it in pieces will be more profitable.
Okay. Thank you, sir. Yes.
Hey, is there something you want to discuss?
"Selling it in pieces will be more profitable."
Was that a cold-hearted remark of an investor?
Hye Won, my goal is simple and clear.
I want both YJ and Vision...
to enter a mutually beneficial deal and profit from this.
Don't make such a troubled face.
Attorney Baek should be suspicious...
because that was his job as your right-hand man.
Why didn't you tell me about your father?
I just didn't want to.
It could've aroused misunderstanding,
and it was a hurtful incident I didn't want to look back on.
Hye Won, when you have a lot in your head,
just keep your eyes on my heart.
Jun Mo.
I had to try hard...
to hold tightly to my crumbling heart.
Didn't you know?
Protecting you is my job.
The headquarters of Vision,
Chairman Arkman, will make the final decision soon.
That was why he called.
He said he'd trust my judgment.
Good. That sigh of relief.
Lunch is on you today. That's final.
It doesn't matter if you change the passcode...
because I can still come in with this card key.
Why did that smart Jun Mo not realize that?
No way.
I have to tell Yoon Yi Chul.
(Yi Chul)
Hye Won will...
become enemies with Lee Jun Mo if she finds out.
So, don't get too friendly with that man, Lee Jun Mo.
I'm not kidding.
Do you expect me to believe you, who tell nothing but lies?
Don't do something rash because of your hatred for me.
I'm saying it's better for you to leave him now...
before things become more serious.
I won't fall for it even if you play us against each other.
Get out of here before you're dragged out!
I'm trying to help. Why are you getting mad at me?
"Help?" Do you think you're in a position to help?
I don't care if you believe me or not.
But I'm telling you this now...
because of him, Lee Jun Mo.
You know that I'm into him.
What a relief.
You also can't have the guy...
I can't be with.
I came to make sure you were aware of that.
There's a huge bomb inside that safe.
You can go and see it for yourself.
You may not believe me, but you'll believe that document.
The choice is yours.
I'm here for the side dishes.
Oh, my.
I said I'd drop it off at your place.
You said you'd let us take a tour of that rich family's house.
Gosh, I was mad enough with Hye Won,
who never listened to anything I said,
but this other hater at home is beginning to drive me insane.
Who?
Your aunt, Lee Min Sook, who won't even cook for you?
That cook doesn't even count as a hater.
Well, Hye Won is the foe you want to destroy.
I mean, in your shoes.
The old lady, Yoon Yi Ra, stands for her family...
and takes her brother's side,
so she can be mean at times, but she doesn't harass you, right?
That only leaves Yong Ki, that little boy.
Is he your hater?
That's not what I'm talking about.
There's this crazy new figure.
Oh, my. Hey.
Is Yoon Yi Chul dating someone new?
Will you stop cutting me off and hear me out until the end?
Yes, it makes me want to stop talking...
whenever you cut me off.
Darn it, you two.
Hey, I haven't braised the pollack yet.
Take a seat.
So? Who's this crazy new figure?
Oh Soo Jung, the twin sister of the dead Oh Soo Hyang.
She came from America and began to stay at my place.
Oh Soo Hyang was a twin?
My gosh, really?
You must've felt frightened.
A woman who looks just like Oh Soo Hyang...
keeps lurking in front of your eyes.
It wasn't frightening...
but a little chilling.
Oh Soo Hyang... No, Oh Soo Jung is...
completely out of her mind.
She reminds me of a viper,
those snakes that devour their prey with one gulp.
I think she's here to get me.
She took advantage of my delusion disorder...
and strangled me with a string to kill me.
Then, she began to insist she never did anything like that.
She's a total nutcase.
Why aren't you taking your medicine?
I feel like you refuse to take it because you enjoy your delusions.
Are you type N?
This isn't the time to discuss her MBTI types.
Oh Soo Jung or whatever, that crazy woman...
tried to strangle her with a string.
You seem like a mom.
Is there something going on with the feng shui of that place?
Why is that house filled with such tough-minded people?
So? The strong Bae Do Eun...
- let her get the best of you? - Yes.
Well, she was a little scary.
I'm curious about this woman whom my daughter is scared of.
Honey, you should go and fight on her behalf.
You can be really scary when you frown...
while chewing gum and shaking your leg.
Mom, can you come to my place...
and teach her a lesson?
If she's a viper,
I'm an anaconda.
That makes Hye Ji a gold-digging snake.
Darn it. I'm not a gold digger. It's Hye Won.
She keeps a haughty attitude and an elegant face,
pretending like she's not interested in men.
But she keeps Baek Sung Yoon and Lee Jun Mo on each side,
toying with them as she likes, like a true player.
But in the end, I think she fell for Lee Jun Mo.
Do you like Lee Jun Mo?
Are you crazy?
You live with Yoon Yi Chul.
How can you lay your eyes on another man?
I was just giving him a little bit of attention.
Will you please stay away from the guys...
Hye Won is involved with?
Just be happy with her father-in-law.
Stop talking about Hye Won! I'm sick of this.
Hye Won must feel a little anxious by now.
(Vision Investment Head of the Korean Branch)
I couldn't protect my heart.
I'm at my worst right now.
But I fell into the trap of, "What if?"
I couldn't sit and feel anxious.
I only hoped my terrifying intuition wasn't right.
(YJ Group Sales Decision)
What are you doing in my house?
I shouldn't have let you into my life.
You still don't trust me.
How can I trust you if you have something like this?
That must hurt, dear Jun Mo.
It must hurt your heart.
(The Two Sisters)
You're very scary.
And I find myself very pathetic.
Then, what will happen to YJ?
Give me the master bedroom. Go to the annex.
Mr. Chairman, I will hold tight to the hand you offered.
You started this fight.
The worse your defeat is, the more you'll grow,
so hang in there a little longer.
You will stand at the edge of that cliff very soon.
