(Episode 55)
What's going on?
This engagement can't happen!
Se Rin is mine!
What?
No. That's not true. It's not true, Ha Jun.
There's something else you all need to know!
I kidnapped Oh Ha Ra's son...
to help Se Rin.
I knew it!
That baby evil witch had a man on the side.
Let's get out of here, Ha Jun.
Mr. Cha! Escort him out.
My gosh.
What is going on?
Cover his face. Hurry.
Is it true?
Who is that man?
This engagement is a scam!
My goodness!
Ju Se Rin has a man!
- Let's go. - What?
A man?
She said she's a con artist.
A con artist?
Excuse us!
- Please let us in. - Let us know what's going on!
Bring that man to my office right now.
Se Rin, you too!
Silence everyone here.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Ma'am.
Mother.
Se Rin.
He has a recording of you...
blabbing about killing Eun Jo when you were drunk.
He threatened me with it.
What?
So make sure he doesn't talk...
when you get upstairs.
Let's go.
Se Rin. Tell me the truth.
What's going on between you two?
Is what he said true?
Tell me!
What's your relationship?
I am...
his lover.
What? His lover?
But you deceived us and tried to get engaged to my son?
You had the nerve to try to marry Ha Jun?
No! Just hit me instead!
Give me a break.
Mr. Kim!
- Drag Se Rin out of here. - Yes, sir.
Father. Father...
Father...
You'd better start...
telling the truth.
Tell me everything about Ha Ra.
Don't leave anything out.
She said to tell the truth.
But I can't tell him about the recording of Se Rin.
Se Rin says I'm her lover.
Se Rin needed cash quickly.
Oh Ha Ra said she would give me the money for it.
So I kidnapped her son in exchange.
What?
Ha Ra hired you by paying you the money Se Rin needed?
Yes. There is nothing I won't do...
for Se Rin.
Like when I buried Hwang Ga Heun.
Se Rin, Ha Ra, and I...
can't be separated no matter how hard anyone tries.
So?
Who else knows of this?
Did you tell anyone?
What? Well...
That woman knows.
Why won't you talk?
I didn't tell anyone.
Please don't hurt me!
Don't you dare...
tell anyone...
about my daughter.
If you do, I'll kill you.
Mr. Kim!
Sign this.
It's a blank sheet of paper. What do you plan to write there?
It depends on what you do.
It may remain blank or it may not.
Sign it and get lost.
Se Rin. Were you romantically involved...
with your father's lackey?
Mother, the thing is...
I heard you just told the chairman that he's your lover.
Seriously. What did you take me for?
I'm flabbergasted.
How did I end up...
believing a cheap idiot like you?
I said to take down...
all of your designs in the shops.
- What? Mother. - Listen!
It's all over the news that you plagiarized designs...
by DDM Queen.
With the scam engagement, you two-timing two men,
and your lover barging into the engagement ceremony...
Nothing could ever compare to this humiliation.
My gosh.
Ha Jun became the victim...
and is being pitied by the public.
People are talking about boycotting our stores.
What will you do...
about the loss you caused the company?
I'm sorry, Mother.
But I really didn't know...
Ha Ra hired him to kidnap Hoon.
Shut it!
You made this mess.
How dare you try to drag my daughter into this?
Mother. Please save me one more time.
We're in this together.
My father manages your slush fund.
Don't you know that your dad...
stole my entire slush fund?
Is anyone out there?
Drag her out of here!
Mother, I'm so sorry.
Please forgive me.
Mother! Mother...
My dream...
My dream is gone.
It crumbled in an instant.
How could this happen?
Ju Se Rin. Remember us?
Do you know how many designers lost their jobs because of you?
My proposal went missing, then I saw it was submitted in your name.
You kept plagiarizing and stealing our designs,
so you thought you could keep doing it, didn't you?
Fakes like you need to taste the bitterness of defeat.
You disgusting thief.
You're a parasite that leeches off the hard work of others.
Have you ever pulled all-nighters drinking bitter coffee like we do?
Did you actually win the study abroad program fairly?
My gosh. Se Rin!
Se Rin! What happened to you?
What happened to your hair and face?
Dad.
Gosh.
- Dad. - What is going on?
- Dad... - Se Rin...
Se Rin. How does it feel to crash and burn?
Let's go home.
Get used to this feeling of despair.
I'll follow you to the fiery pit...
and make you pay for stealing from Eun Jo.
You're saying you knew my engagement would fall through?
That's right, I did.
Ga Heun was the one who exposed Se Rin for plagiarism.
Ms. Hwang did it to stop my engagement?
That's right. If not for her,
you would've been trapped...
in Se Rin's control for the rest of your life.
She looked like she didn't care about my engagement.
Gosh. Do you go around announcing you've never had a relationship?
How are you so naive?
How could you not know Se Rin had a man...
and get caught...
in the trap that the evil witch and the baby evil witch...
set together?
So you're saying Ms. Hwang saved me.
That's right. I said that already.
Hey.
I told the press that the articles about Se Rin and Mr. Oh dating...
and their engagement were all staged by her and a scam.
The portal is blowing up with comments pitying Mr. Oh.
Good work.
I sent an apology to the executives and shareholders...
for the unfortunate event.
Also, the board plans to discuss the detailed plan...
to actualize...
the vision of the new brand Mr. Oh had presented.
What? Ha Jun did that too?
Ms. Hwang made me, so...
Was that to make the executives reevaluate me?
Grandma. I need to see Ms. Hwang right now.
My gosh. Goodness.
He finally realized it now.
Ms. Hwang had a plan in place already...
to save Ha Jun.
I guess so.
Mr. Oh is so naive.
How could he get scammed into getting engaged?
I know. Se Rin is a total fraud.
I was shocked that she plagiarized DDM Queen's designs.
Hold on. That means Mr. Oh and Ms. Hwang...
may get back together.
Ma'am. Our second round products are doing very well...
at the shops.
We received requests for more inventory already.
Place the order with the factory.
Remove all of Ju Se Rin's designs from the shops...
so that her plagiarism scandal doesn't hurt our sales.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Hwang!
Hey. What are you doing? Let go of me!
Just for a minute. Thank you so much.
I would've been sold off to Se Rin if it weren't for you.
You've saved me. You're my savior.
I don't know what you mean.
Letting you do the presentation is all you should thank me for.
Fine. There's always a reason when you deny things.
I won't ask anymore.
But thank you so much.
I realized as I was being dragged to the engagement ceremony.
It has to be you.
I'm going to try my all for you.
You were getting engaged to Se Rin to protect Mr. Cha and me.
I don't owe you anymore. I did it to repay you.
You don't owe me?
Then we can start at square one.
We're starting over, okay?
I'll show up looking cool in front of you.
I should change first.
Later.
Is he that happy?
Father. What do you mean, send Hoon to Sun Hyuk?
No. Then he'll divorce me.
People will say we're having problems.
You said you needed the child to avoid getting divorced.
And that was why you hired that guy to kidnap Hoon!
My gosh.
Even if you stopped the divorce now,
that gave Sun Hyuk grounds for a divorce.
Don't use Hoon to upset Sun Hyuk anymore.
You may lose Hoon and never see him again.
I won't lose him.
That will never happen.
You can't get everything your way.
Do everything Sun Hyuk wants.
If you dare defy me,
I'll stop that movie personally.
Fine, I will.
But only until we finish filming.
Eun Hwa.
Did you know Se Rin had a man and that she plagiarized...
those designs?
Mother. How would I have known?
I didn't know either.
You're responsible too, for failing to manage Se Rin and Ha Ra.
You need to repent...
and hand over all authority over the new brand to Ha Jun.
What? What do you mean?
Do you plan to promote Ha Jun to president?
I'm going to present Ha Jun's promotion to president...
before the board next week.
Just so you know.
Chairman Oh. You've made a wise decision.
That's the first good news I've heard in a while.
Father says you should keep Hoon with you after his English camp.
It's only until I finish filming, so don't get too excited.
He said we can never get divorced.
He probably knows I have legal grounds for divorce...
because you hired someone to kidnap Hoon.
Don't even dream of getting custody once we get divorced.
Do you really plan to sue Ha Ra for divorce?
She says she'll send Hoon to you.
Must you go that far?
Who knows when she'll change her tune?
Sue her.
I have to divorce her to protect Hoon from her.
Why is Sun Hyuk so stern?
Even if he lost all affection for Ha Ra...
He never had any affection for her.
Stop that.
Dad. What do I do now?
My life is over.
Darn it. That jerk. There was a reason I was nervous.
But did you really plagiarize someone's designs?
I had no choice. I lacked the skills but I had to beat Ga Heun...
to gain Mother's acceptance in order to marry Ha Jun.
I gave DDM Queen...
400,000 dollars and bought her designs.
400,000 dollars?
It's that expensive to draw a few sketches?
Where did you get the money?
Mr. Na gave me the money...
from the safe downstairs.
What? Why that little...
You should've just told me.
You collect interest even from me.
Darn it. Still, how could you ask him?
Anyway, what was that heinous thing about the chairman's daughter...
hiring Mr. Na to kidnap her own son? What was that about?
Stop asking questions. I don't know either.
Se Rin. Are you all right?
Does she look all right to you?
Father! Se Rin... I'm Se Rin's lover now.
What? What outlandish gibberish is this?
Se Rin. What is he saying?
I don't know!
Move.
Darn it.
I'm ruined.
It's all over.
You knew...
that Se Rin would say she was Na Wook Do's lover?
Yes. Thanks to the wiretapping app,
I heard her tell him that Ha Ra made her kill Eun Jo.
Na Wook Do heard that,
and tried to extort money from Ha Ra...
and ended up kidnapping Hoon.
Yes.
He will do anything he can for Se Rin.
That was why he tried to bury me that time.
I told him to tell the truth,
but I'm sure he didn't tell that part...
in order to protect Se Rin.
But Se Rin had to become Na Wook Do's fake lover...
to stop him...
from telling the chairman about it.
I'm sure Ha Ra told her to.
Expertly done.
You've destroyed Se Rin thoroughly.
You pretty much saved Ha Jun,
so Chairman Han and Ha Jun...
will trust you more.
Once he becomes the company president,
there will be a new opportunity to destroy Geum Eun Hwa.
Then you'll have to officially be his girlfriend.
Is that all right?
If it's to destroy Geum Eun Hwa and Ha Ra,
I'll do it.
Ms. Hwang saved Mr. Oh.
The executives hated him because of the scandal,
but she flipped it with the vision presentation.
Maybe Ms. Hwang is doing this to make him the successor.
Why is everyone gathered?
Did someone get promoted?
Who do you think?
Me? Company president?
Yes, sir. The new brand vision presentation was key.
Mr. Oh. Well, President Oh, to be more precise.
You are now Ms. Geum's superior.
I'm higher up than Stepmom?
Congratulations.
Hey. I'm glad you're here. We need to talk.
Hey, Sun Hyuk. Look at this.
This was waiting for me when I got it.
The board decided yesterday to promote you.
It's only proper.
What do I need to do now?
This sense of responsibility and value.
Won't this make work less fun?
You'll do well.
Can't you sound more sincere?
Give me some real advice.
Just keep doing what you have been.
I've seen too many people who became presidents...
who worked themselves to death.
I won't end up like them.
Which gets me thinking. I need to get rid of you first.
Pardon?
I thought of the first thing I have to do as president.
You are not allowed to resign...
until I tell you to leave. Got that?
You need to protect me longer.
I don't know anything.
Then get adjusted quickly.
I really can't stay once I'm divorced.
That again?
There's something I need to tell you.
What is it?
I'm going to try for real for Ms. Hwang.
I'm going to be a good boyfriend.
It became clear after being dragged into an engagement I didn't want.
If I lose Ms. Hwang, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
Is that all right?
I'm asking for your permission.
Why do you need my permission?
I know you'll be a good boyfriend.
Right? I wanted your permission for some reason.
I'll do well for sure this time.
Yes, sir.
Do you have something to report?
I have this week's sales report for round two.
Everything regarding the new brand will go to Mr. Oh...
That is, President Oh.
Report to him directly.
I will.
I think President Oh and I will be going out officially.
I thought you should know.
The improper engagement is broken,
so it's only right.
Sun Hyuk. I know you're jealous and bothered.
I have no feelings toward you.
And I shouldn't.
President Oh doesn't want to lose you.
I hope the same for him.
You won't be able to let go.
I see.
I'll go then.
(Chief Director Cha Sun Hyuk)
(President Oh Ha Jun)
I got Sun Hyuk's permission.
No, no. I didn't ask for permission. I was notifying him.
Anyway, I'll try to win her over for real this time.
Why can't I become Eun Jo?
She must have a reason...
for becoming Ko Eun Jo for her family.
Right. She's an awesome woman who saved me. Just trust her.
That's right. Eun Gyul said Ms. Hwang likes braised chicken.
Hey. I was just about to call you.
This is the sales report for the week for round two.
We're producing a second lot already?
We pretty much won round two then, right?
Pretty much.
Then we'll have a team dinner to celebrate.
We couldn't have one last time when we won.
This is an order from the president. No ifs ands or buts.
I need to know where to go.
Where is it?
A super yummy place.
- This is really good. - Try it.
That's your friend's son, right?
He must be the star today.
He was just made president.
He brought his employees here to celebrate.
Gosh. He's just like Na Yeon,
so he cares a lot about people and has a good heart.
Thank goodness the engagement with Se Rin fell through.
Mr. Oh...
President Oh, no wonder you said this place was good.
It's delicious.
It's melting away my stress.
The topping is awesome.
Ms. Hwang, try this too. It's delicious.
My gosh. He must like Ga Heun.
He keeps giving her food.
Really? Hold on. then...
Here you go.
These are on the house.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I've been watching, and these two here...
make such a cute couple.
Are you two dating?
Yes, they are.
They're Jewang's first public couple.
I knew it.
- Love shot. - Love shot.
Stop that.
Come on.
Drink it up. Drink. Drink. Drink. Drink.
How long will you make me dance?
Look at my shoulder. It got dislocated.
Nice.
Hey. It's the rich guy who bought me pork trotters.
Ha Jun!
So yummy.
Try this.
It's delicious.
What's going on here?
Is Ga Heun going out with Ha Ra's brother?
What is going on?
Are you going out with Ha Ra's brother? Why?
It just happened.
What do you mean? Ga Heun.
No, Eun Jo. Why are you trying to like someone you don't like?
This is wrong.
You can't get over my brother.
You won't tell him about Star because you refuse to hurt him.
So why are you doing this?
Bo Mi. When Star died, Eun Jo died with her.
I can't go back to being Eun Jo.
I can't go back to Sun Hyuk.
Why is Eun Jo dead?
She's standing in front of me. Why could she be dead?
Bo Mi. Please accept the situation that I'm in.
Please.
I'll go back in.
I'm going to help you with your revenge.
I'm partly responsible for not protecting you...
five years ago.
I will...
make you return to being Eun Jo.
DDM Queen! Answer me. Hey!
Darn it!
She totally went off the grid.
She played me.
How do I fix this?
- Hi, Ha Ra. - Se Rin.
Did you delete the recording in your lover's phone?
He's not my lover.
I only lied to try to fix the situation.
What's my problem? I was out of it and didn't think of the recording.
Hey. What if he threatens me again with it?
Sorry.
I can't think straight.
You think you've hit rock bottom, don't you?
You'll end up in jail if that recording gets out.
Since you became his lover anyway, sweet talk him somehow...
and shut him up.
You want me to pretend to be...
Ha Ra. Why didn't you tell me about the recording sooner?
Then he wouldn't have ruined the engagement.
You got drunk and blabbed. That's what started this.
It was your mistake, so you fix it.
Got it?
Darn it.
Se Rin, are you not mad anymore?
I'm trying not to be.
Let's drink.
Wook Do. Why did you record that?
I didn't do it on purpose.
You know I blackout whenever I drink.
I was afraid I wouldn't remember my sweet date with you.
I recorded it to remember it.
To remember it.
You're not recording us now too, are you?
Of course, not.
Look. I'm not recording it.
Plus, I only have two recordings.
So the recording is in that, right?
I have to get rid of it.
Then I can drink freely today.
I'm so happy that you've finally accepted me.
It feels like a dream.
Wook Do. How about a love shot?
What? A love shot?
Come on.
Darn it.
(Audio recordings)
(Delete?)
Se Rin. Did you seduce me to delete the recording...
just now?
Obviously.
Why would I like a piece of trash like you?
How dare you ruin my life with this stupid recording?
Trash?
I buried Hwang Ga Heun, kidnapped a child,
and stole money for you!
Shouldn't you accept me after I did all that?
I never told you to like me.
You should've kept it as a crush. Why did you ruin my engagement?
Why am I yours?
Why do you hate me so much?
Like you don't know?
You're a thug.
You're an ex-con.
So what?
Then what? I can't even like you?
You jerk!
- Let go of her. - Dad.
I warned you.
I said it was never going to happen, and to not even look!
How dare you even dream of being with Se Rin?
Who do you think you are?
How dare you want Se Rin?
You...
Die!
Die.
Se Rin. Ha Ra.
How dare you split up Eun Jo and my brother?
I'll make Eun Jo go back to my brother.
I'll make you two confess to what you did.
How could you...
trample on my feelings?
Mr. Ju. Se Rin.
This is wrong.
I am not your chump.
Even I have pride.
Se Rin.
I'll make you beg to be with me.
(Female Detective X)
What's with the weather?
This came for you. They say they'll start filming soon.
Okay.
What is this?
Who sent me a gift?
Here, this came for you.
Se Rin. Stop drinking so much.
Once I make my 50 million dollars, you can start over.
What is this?
(Ju Se Rin)
"I know..."
"What you did..."
"five years ago."
(Miss Monte-Cristo)
Bring Na Wook Do to me right now.
Are you trying to...
Mr. Na took off with Ms. Geum's slush fund ledger.
We're auditing Miss Ju Collection.
No, not that.
Not that either.
Ha Jun. Do you think you can do anything you please...
because you're the president?
Why did you send this to me?
What are you after?
Na Wook Do didn't send that.
- Then who? - I can't let this hurt my revenge.
