What are you doing?
It's just...
something you want.
So I wanted to tear it up.
You've been acting strange lately.
What's the matter? Is something wrong?
Something's been wrong for a very long time.
I told you before that...
my husband has another woman.
Do you know who that is?
Mo Ran.
Gi Mo Ran.
What are you saying?
How long did you think I wouldn't know?
Did you think I was that stupid?
But then, I was stupid back then.
I knew there was something between you two,
but I never dreamed that something was this.
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that to me whom you considered a sister?
Why did you introduce In Guk to me?
Did you feel sorry for me?
Just when you had gotten bored of your boy toy,
did you see an opportunity when I fell for him?
So you donated him to me?
Gosh, Ok Sun, please...
How could you say that? You're mistaken!
Answer my question!
Why did you do that to me?
You weren't like me.
In the world I lived in, it was always winter.
Happy birthday to you
- But you were always pure sunshine. - Happy birthday, dear Mo Ran
- Happy birthday to you - You were warm spring.
- For the first time in my life, - Make a wish.
I realized there are truly pure people in this world.
Your spring...
slowly...
Happy birthday.
melted away my winter.
Being with you was a comfort to me.
For the first time,
I felt happiness and warmth.
Had I not had that,
everything that happened to me at the time...
would've been hard to bear.
I was so grateful for you, and you were so dear to me.
And you...
wanted In Guk.
- Please vote. - Hello.
I had found...
something I could do for you that would make you happy.
- Please vote. - Thank you.
Seeing you with In Guk and looking so happy.
Seeing you like that...
was my happiness.
You won't believe that.
At one time,
I was attracted to In Guk.
I won't deny that.
But that was before I set you up with him.
I was very capable of knowing what was more valuable.
That's how much more you meant to me.
In Guk was a good man.
I believed a man like him would make you happy.
And more than anything, you wanted him.
I truly, honestly wished for your happiness.
Forget everything else,
more than anything in the world,
please know that I cherished you.
"Cherished"?
Why does that word give me chills?
Ok Sun.
Why do all the people you cherish...
meet a tragic end without exception?
Han Hae Soo.
Remember her?
The one who gave Mr. Lee her ring.
It was me.
You dropped it at my place that night.
And then you told me...
about Han Hae Soo.
That you'd killed her.
This isn't...
This isn't right at all, Ok Sun!
As if it isn't!
Did you kill her when you cherished her that much?
Then, since you cherished me too...
No. You already killed me.
You're a murderer.
You always killed while you lived.
You killed me and Hae Soo.
You killed everyone you cherished!
This isn't right. It's not right, Ok Sun!
There's...
someone here.
No. Ok Sun, please.
Please. Don't.
Don't. Please don't, Ok Sun.
Please, just leave!
Yes.
This is the real you.
Why are you crying?
I haven't even gotten started.
Save your tears.
Because now you will live in purgatory.
(Kill Heel)
The truth is...
I have a confession to make as well.
You know how...
(Episode 11)
I said we should be friends.
I'm sure you realized,
but I didn't mean it.
I don't believe men and women can be friends.
If someone befriends me,
I wonder if they're being sincere...
or if they're after something.
I never stop suspecting them.
Even more so if it's a woman.
Sorry. I'm not talking about you.
Even if you were,
I couldn't complain.
I'm sorry.
I'm shameless, aren't I?
Not at all.
From this moment on,
you can be shameless.
Then...
please give me one last chance,
Mr. Lee.
Ms. Gi.
The real game is finally about to begin.
Come in.
Have a seat.
Were you surprised that I wanted to see you?
Well... Yes, sir.
How long have you worked with Woo Hyun?
I worked on the programs since I first joined,
but I worked directly with her...
when we launched "Woo Hyun's Saturday Pick".
That's all?
I thought you worked together for much longer.
You make such a good team.
Did we seem that way?
The reason I called you here...
is to follow through with a plan.
I felt like you were the perfect fit.
Pardon? What...
I plan to launch a cosmetics line.
I see. Cosmetics?
It will be sold exclusively through Woo Hyun.
Pardon? Woo Hyun?
You and I are the only ones who will know about this mission.
No one else may know.
Especially...
Ms. Gi. Do you understand?
Are you saying you'll bring Hyun back?
Obviously, if she's to go on air.
We can't have Gaon sell our products.
Is that possible?
Of course, it is. Because that's what I want.
Mr. Seo?
Yes, sir. I'm all for it.
But may I ask why you suddenly want to bring...
Hyun back?
I told you.
That's what I want.
Why?
Do you not like her?
I do like her.
Professionally. As a colleague.
Okay, then.
I'll assume we are on the same page.
Start preparing for the program right away.
Please take charge of this project...
yourself.
Okay, then.
Good.
He's been out all day.
He doesn't have any shows today.
Here she goes again.
What?
You have separation anxiety toward Joon Bum.
What? I'm not a dog.
At least dogs are cute.
Let's chat during lunch.
What's this?
That seems meaningful somehow.
Is he finally so sick of you crushing on him...
that he'll go out with you?
Can't blame him. Even I'm sick of it as a third party.
It's better to go out with you and break up.
Hey.
I'm crushing on him?
I am not.
Why did you suddenly want...
to meet outside like this?
I needed to talk to you.
What... What about?
Listen.
You can't tell anyone else, okay?
What's wrong with you? Do you feel sick?
She gets like that at times.
Please have a seat.
What...
Why is a supervisor...
Didn't you hear?
I'm not a supervisor anymore.
Wait. So... What's going on?
Are you sure about this?
Don't you need to keep it small to maintain a secret?
We can trust Sung Woo.
What's going on right now?
Over here.
What? Hyun.
It's been a while.
It's quite embarrassing...
to come back so soon after making such a dramatic exit.
Don't be. It's a good thing.
I guess Sung Woo isn't happy to see me.
Pardon?
I am. That's not it. I'm just shocked.
I didn't know anything.
I'm always happy to have you back.
If we're done with the reunion, let's get to business.
Do you have time to kill?
Okay, shall we begin?
Here. This was very difficult to take from another company...
because it's going to be a mega hit.
As you see, it's a stick.
Many people prefer this right now.
So, if you look...
It has a nice color and scent.
Try it.
It feels nice on the skin.
It provides a shine too.
I apologize.
What's the status?
We've completed purchasing shares in Miller's name.
We bought a total of five percent.
With your five percent...
and the shares owned by shareholders on our side,
we have 15 percent.
We're still short compared to Mr. Lee's 20 percent.
Don't worry.
Ma'am.
Will the shareholders really take our side?
Those jerks distrust Hyun Wook...
right now anyway.
They're selfish rats.
We said we'd make them more money. Why would they refuse?
- They wouldn't. - They wouldn't.
- They wouldn't refuse. - They wouldn't.
- Jong Soo. - Yes?
Don't you think...
it's time for you to taste some sweetness?
What do you mean?
He's going to be promoted to junior managing director?
Park Jong Soo?
It was just posted on the bulletin board.
It says it'll be confirmed if he passes the evaluation.
It's time to leave this company.
Out of nowhere?
The nation will fall.
They say if a traitor gains power, the nation will be destroyed.
And Park Jong Soo is the biggest of traitors.
Still, we won't go under.
It would be trouble if it goes under.
- Hey. - I have nowhere else to go.
- Hello. - Hello.
You're not allowed to whine like that.
Even if the world comes to an end tomorrow,
you'd sell the world before then.
On a 12-month interest-free payment plan.
Anyway, how long has it been since we did a show together?
Maybe...
It's the first time.
- For real? - Yes.
- Isn't it delicious? - It is.
I always take this.
It's super popular among women these days.
(Strategy for the flagship product)
You know, your body reacts right away...
when you take good health supplements. Right?
I'm definitely feeling it.
My precious body.
Apparently, this is thae supplement for women with menopause.
It is.
Hey, how old are you?
Sometimes, you sound older than me.
Should I show you my ID?
Yes. Let's do that. We should bring out our IDs.
If you were born a day older than me,
I'll knock out your chompers for each day. Okay?
"Chompers"? Gosh. That just shows how old you are.
That word is so outdated.
We don't have to bring out our IDs. It's already settled.
- Hey. That's mean. - We should meet.
"Chompers"? Seriously?
That way, it's more fun.
You know, when I was young in the 90s...
You're here.
Please sit.
Here you go.
Is it uncomfortable?
Oh, no.
There are a lot of people here.
Okay. I'll find a restaurant with bad food next time.
Please eat.
Okay. You should eat too.
Right.
Are you getting ready to return to the company?
It feels like I have a real job now.
I have my own team.
And when I think about you, I work harder.
Thank you for the opportunity.
I know that you want to do well. And it should go well too.
But there's no pressure.
You understand me, right?
There's no pressure. It's fun to work.
I was worried for nothing.
Right.
And we shouldn't talk about work when we're having a meal.
You brought it up first.
Right.
I was talking to myself. Did you hear that?
I should have said it quietly.
(Incoming call)
Is it your mom?
I want to stop now.
I can't do this anymore.
You want to give up now?
You need to find your missing sister.
Your last step is to get the shares of Miller Company...
and give them to me.
Once it's settled,
I will find your younger sister through my husband's connection.
And you can go back to school as you wanted.
You're almost there.
We just need to end this.
Okay.
Then can you give me the money you promised first?
Yes.
You don't have to feel guilty.
You will have enough money to last your entire life.
Some kids get adopted, so they can find happiness.
But they come back in much bigger misery.
I know too well what that's like.
So it hurts me more to see it.
You should find your sister...
and live a happy life with her.
Don't you want that?
Mo Ran.
Why did you want to meet at a place like this?
Assemblyman Choi.
No. In Guk.
Ok Sun...
got the wrong idea about you and me.
Did she go over to see you?
What did he say?
What she said doesn't matter right now.
You know better than anyone...
how much I treasure her.
But look what happened.
She hates me to death.
How could you let this happen?
I must do everything to clear this misunderstanding.
And to do that, I need your help.
After this moment, I will never see you again.
And I won't even call you.
Mo Ran.
So you need to talk to Ok Sun.
Tell her there is nothing between you and me.
How could I say you are nothing to me?
Do you think that's possible?
If I could go back in time, I wouldn't make that decision.
I wouldn't have let go of you!
Choi In Guk.
Tell me.
Tell me why I must live my life without you!
You are nothing to me.
I don't even feel sorry for you.
So don't get the wrong idea.
Just be a man that suits your position.
What? Why didn't it work?
Darn it. Did he change it?
I just thought I heard your phone ring or something.
When did you start snooping through my phone?
Gosh, I wasn't snooping.
Don't glare at me like that.
We're married.
Aren't you sad sometimes that we are married?
That again?
What are you talking about?
We're not even in love.
But we're married and living together.
I love you.
It's just that you don't love me.
No.
What you call love isn't real love.
You just want to own me.
It's the same thing.
Don't go through my phone ever again.
Right.
Stop whatever you were plotting with Ms. Gi.
I'll take care of it.
Listen.
She already gathered a lot of our company's shares.
You'd better not meet her in private again. Got it?
I said I would take care of it!
Fine.
Go put on some lotion. Or you'll get wrinkles.
Or do you want me to do it for you?
- Mom. - What?
Are you and Dad not getting along?
Don't be silly.
I barely see your dad. There's no getting along to do.
I'm right. Things aren't great between you.
You're wrong. Things are just the same.
Tell me right away if there's a problem.
I need to come take your side.
Who did you get this sweetness from?
It's excessive.
Don't worry. Nothing's happening.
But something is.
I can tell from the look on your face.
Shall we go now?
Let's walk slowly back.
Come in.
Hyun. Shall we go?
Yes.
Did you hear?
It's the first time someone broke the rules to return.
She's a phoenix if ever there is one.
I'm in total shock.
After what I've seen, I'm officially afraid of her.
I guess it pays to look pretty. It gives you the upper hand.
Does it?
Were you talking about me?
It pays to be pretty.
I heard that Hyun played a part in planning the project.
There's also talk that...
she has a secret backer.
Whether she does or not,
she clawed her way back here. Shouldn't we give her some credit?
Hyun has my respect.
Hyun, standby.
Okay. I'm ready.
Hello. I'm Woo Hyun, your shopping mate.
I'm here, back at UNI.
Which is why I want to show you something special.
It's a multi balm that lets you care for and manage...
your skin in your busy everyday life.
I'll tell you all about the product very soon.
Are you satisfied?
What do you think?
My opinion doesn't mean anything to you anymore.
Mo Ran.
Do you remember our times in the US?
I could never forget those times.
I hated the idea of going so much.
But now, if I look back,
I think I had fun.
We'd been through a lot,
and I relied a lot on you like you were a sister.
I think...
you treated me like a brother too.
Am I right?
I guess not.
Why did you ask to see me?
I don't want to make an enemy of you.
What you're planning...
will make us enemies.
I'd like you to put a stop to it.
There is no such plan.
Miller Company.
You know what that is.
I do not.
Mo Ran!
Don't get too greedy.
That ruins people.
You must know that.
Like I just said,
I do not know what you're talking about.
Ms. Gi.
Must we really...
do this?
I'm sorry. I have...
a prior engagement. Excuse me.
Even if...
I'm being greedy,
whether it's pointless or not...
is now for me to decide.
Because that greed is mine.
What did he say?
There's no time left. It must be done today.
Then will the meeting be today?
What's the matter?
I must make a stop first.
Like this.
Do you see this?
It has no time to dry out.
The moisturizer sticks right on your skin.
That's the best way to ward off wrinkles.
All you have to do is use this swiftly and conveniently.
Make a habit of putting it on,
and you'll feel the change yourself.
My gosh. Joon Bum.
Look at the graph.
We might oversell our backup stock by 115 percent.
We sold out.
Okay.
Hyun, we overshot our target.
We sold out.
Prepare the sold out graphics.
We sold out the stock we prepared for today.
I want to thank the customers who trusted me...
yet again today.
We will move fast to get back on our feet...
and bring you an even better product.
This was Woo Hyun, your shopping mate.
Thank you.
Good job.
- Well done. - Thank you.
- Great job. - Well done.
- Good job. - Thanks.
Well done.
Miller Company is headed by an American called James Miller.
He's confirmed to own five percent of our stocks,
and he's still buying up.
I sense something's going on.
Good job.
Arrange a meeting with Legal for tomorrow morning.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
I just got a call from your residence.
Your wife left abruptly.
I did say we could be friends,
but I'm not used to being called over out of the blue.
I didn't see the point in dragging things on.
You must be getting impatient.
Now is the time.
We must make a move before we lose the advantage.
Oh, the subsidiary company?
About that.
We should've gotten it done when it first came up.
Now that some time has passed,
I can't be bothered.
This is how I am.
I lose interest quickly.
Oh dear. You look scary.
I'm just kidding.
(Stock Transfer Agreement)
In other words,
my shares of UNI Homeshopping...
will become shares of UNI Retail, right?
And...
if I sign this, you'll take care of everything?
Yes. Everything else is ready.
(Stock Transfer Agreement)
Are you messing with me?
I pretended to fall for your antics,
but you must've thought it was true.
Did I seem that moronic?
This is hurting my pride.
Look.
I've seen things and learned from them.
People like us with a lot to protect...
may seem to be carefree,
but we work hard to protect what's ours...
from people like you who covet what's ours.
Seriously.
What can you accomplish if you're careless like this?
But then again,
you need to have something...
in order to know how to take or protect it from others.
Gosh. You poor dear.
You must've said things...
you didn't mean...
and put up with all sorts of garbage...
again and again for this very moment.
Sin Ae.
Shut your trap and sign it.
You must've finally snapped.
Did you think I didn't know that you had figured me out?
What was that?
I didn't need to be that conniving...
in order to get your shares, that was all.
No matter how hard you try to protect them,
you have to sign them over, and I know that.
What are you babbling about?
Why is that? I can't wait to hear it.
I know...
your Achilles' heel.
Exactly.
What is that?
You must've gone senile.
I graced you with my presence a few times,
and you think you're my equal.
Hey, you.
I told you I don't like it when people cross the line.
Our madam is at it again.
Losers like you can dream and live decent lives...
thanks to people like us.
But losers like you always forget that important truth.
I can put up with everything,
but I can't put up with that.
Listen, lady. Stop acting out, okay?
This stops here. Got that?
You're the one who may regret it, Sin Ae.
Why you...
I know you killed Han Hae Soo.
I think Ms. Ham went out to meet with Ms. Gi.
Should I find out for sure?
You should watch your mouth.
I know you're cornered, but did you completely lose it?
The police said...
that woman killed herself. So what do you...
I saw you leave Hae Soo's home that night.
Hae Soo was alive when you went in.
Hae Soo.
But once you left, she was found dead.
Who killed her?
No.
Hae Soo jumped from the roof and died.
She ended her life because she was depressed.
That was fabricated by your mom in order to protect you.
Open up!
What's wrong with you?
- What is all of this? - Please leave!
- What... - Please leave.
No.
Let go!
What is that?
Give me that. Give it to me!
Is this it?
Proof of your relationship with Hyun Wook?
- No. - Get over here.
Give it to me! It's mine.
Hyun Wook was supposed to give it to me.
The ring.
The ring. Where's the ring?
The ring. Where's the ring? The ring.
What...
Did you see me...
kill her?
Do you have proof?
The police already closed the case.
Try saying whatever you want.
You'll look like a liar...
running amok because things won't go your way.
Ma'am.
A witness has stepped forward.
A witness?
Mom?
What do you mean?
Someone saw Sin Ae...
walk out of Hae Soo's home the day Hae Soo died.
It was ten years ago.
What use is that now?
Is it reliable?
The statement is very detailed,
and there is a video as evidence as well.
Stop it somehow.
Money is no object.
If necessary,
get rid of them without a trace.
I don't have much left to live.
It's almost done.
Don't let anyone stir things up.
If people find out about Sin Ae,
you won't be safe either.
You know that.
I'll take appropriate measures.
I should've killed that witch myself back then.
It was my mistake for letting Sin Ae...
get blood on her hands.
How would Hyun Wook feel if he finds out you killed Hae Soo?
What if he finds out...
you killed the woman he loved the most in the world?
And you have shamelessly been staying by his side...
as if you didn't do anything.
I wonder what he would do to you.
You knew everything.
But you didn't speak up. That makes you an accomplice.
Don't worry.
I will face the consequence of my action myself.
There's a lot at stake for you. So you have a lot to protect.
Hyun Wook, your position,
and to name something trivial, your pride.
This is the only way if you want to protect all of that.
Let's say I gave you the shares.
How can you guarantee...
that you will keep your mouth shut for the rest of your life?
I can't.
Give me some time.
I don't have time.
I'm busy.
Sign it already.
(Stock Transfer Agreement)
You'd better keep your mouth shut.
If you don't...
What? Are you going to kill me too?
How did you find me here?
How much of it did you hear?
You...
Did you kill Hae Soo?
Did you?
No.
I didn't.
That was all a lie.
She was lying!
How could you do this to me?
How...
If you heard everything,
you shouldn't be here.
You need to go and stop her!
Shut it!
It was an accident.
Shut your mouth.
I did it out of my love for you.
Why?
You don't trust me?
But this is the truth. What else do you want me to say?
Honey, I love you.
I did it because I loved you!
I'm sorry, Hae Soo.
I was worried that I might end up like you.
Oh, no.
Come on.
I'll join you soon.
When I do,
I'll pay for what I did right by your side.
Hang in there.
Just a bit longer.
Cheers.
Let's drink.
Thank you, guys.
The graph went up like this.
How much was our total sales?
It was amazing.
That's not right.
Did you hear? They made 1.5 million dollars.
Yes, Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lee.
(Ham Sin Ae)
- Will you pick up? - The call cannot...
Pick up!
Don't.
Is something wrong?
(Ham Sin Ae)
Where are you?
How could you leave like that?
Hello.
Who's this?
I'm not sure if you remember.
I'm Woo Hyun, a show host at UNI.
Why are you...
answering my husband's phone?
Because it kept ringing.
Where are you?
Mr. Lee had too much to drink.
I'll bring him home.
Tell me where you are!
I'm sorry.
You psycho.
Don't lust for what is mine.
(Kill Heel)
(Special thanks to Jeong A Mi.)
Maybe it's not me who's great.
Maybe you dropped your guard, Mr. Lee.
If Jung Hyun finds out what happened between us,
then it won't just end with it feeling dreadful.
James disappeared.
This Gi Mo Ran...
is much more of a lowlife than I thought.
- You... - You deceived and kept secrets.
My husband sees that woman, not you.
Right now, it'll feel like he loves you.
What are you doing?
Stop!
I'm sorry.
Starting now, I will steal your husband.
