I can't believe she was getting the paintings forged here.
No wonder. I knew all the places she went.
She told me to wait outside when she was visiting Chairman Han.
She must have stopped by another room.
How far is Do Guk?
I'll go inside and check.
Okay.
- Stop the car. - Why?
What is it this time?
It's her again. How did she know about this place?
What? What is it?
I'm here. Where are you?
Hey. I'm almost there.
Run her over.
She's the girl I wanted dead. Han Yi Ju.
Run her over.
Then, let's get the painting right away.
I'll give you half of whatever price I sell it for.
Don't you want your money? Do it now!
- Yi Ju! Watch out! - What?
Yi Ju.
Are you all right?
Are you not hurt?
No, I'm okay.
Do Guk.
Are you sure you're all right?
Yes. You saved me, Do Guk.
Look, I'm totally fine.
Thank goodness you're okay.
I was so scared...
that I might lose you again like that time.
I was terrified. Thank goodness.
Do Guk.
Yes.
What do you mean?
You were afraid you might lose me again?
Oh, that's...
Stop right there.
- Let go! - Hey, stop.
- Calm down. Stay still! - Let go of me!
- I said, let go. - Ms. Han.
Let go!
- Let go of me. - What is going on?
- Let go! - Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Did you manage to find the ghost painter?
Yes, Lee Jeong Hye has been paying for an additional room.
Let go. I told you to let go.
Let go of me!
Let go, you punks.
I said, let go!
Stay still, please.
You idiots should be honoured to meet me in person. How dare you.
- You're... - You recognize me.
That's right. I am the great painter, Sun Jin.
(Daeyeon Senior Care Center)
He does look a lot like him.
But I was told that Sun Jin died in the woods...
His body was never found.
(Report)
You're making all this fuss just because I caused the accident?
I'll get the car fixed.
Mr. Cho Dong Soo.
You are here for attempting to murder Ms. Lee Ji Won...
and Ms. Han Yi Ju.
You must remember that we found...
a partial fingerprint on the gas tank that had exploded.
We were finally able to analyze it,
and we found out that the fingerprint belonged to you.
Okay. So what?
It means you deliberately entered the victims' home to start the fire,
which proves it was intentional.
That was years ago. Why are you bringing it up now?
The statute of limitations expired long ago.
You went overseas often to gamble.
Article 253 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
"The limitation period shall be suspended during the period,"
"for which an offender stays abroad to escape criminal punishment."
- Therefore... - In conclusion,
the statute of limitations has not expired yet,
considering...
the amount of time you have spent abroad.
What? Who are you?
Who are you to butt in?
I am...
the person you tried to kill.
She strongly requested that we reinvestigate the case.
That's why we reanalyzed your fingerprint.
How dare you try to kill me and my daughter?
Darn you...
Rot in prison for the rest of your life!
Hands off! Don't touch me!
She told me to do it.
You must be out of your mind. You're trying to dump this on me?
That woman and her child both survived back then.
They're still well and alive!
What? But the building went up in flames.
You've been taking my money for that incident.
I'll let it slide.
So, do one last task for me.
- Task? - Kill...
that daughter.
This time, do it properly.
No, it was manipulated.
- That recording was manipulated. - That's not...
all she did.
She used Sun Jin's declining mental health...
to lock him up in a care home and made him paint there...
while staging his suicide to raise the prices of his art.
I bet she has pocketed tens of millions of dollars by doing that.
Mr. Kim.
Who are you to step in?
I am...
Sun Jin's son.
Then you are...
Is that why you've been hovering around me all this time?
I have evidence that shows she is guilty of embezzlement...
and how she has created her slush fund.
I'll submit everything by the end of the day.
My husband...
No. Let me call Yu Ra.
If she finds out about this, she won't let this slide.
Hanul Finance Group's internal audit team will proactively cooperate.
The Han Gallery has promised to hand over all necessary documents too.
What?
Don't you get it?
It means no one is on your side.
Han Yi Ju.
You little...
What? Goodness.
- Ms. Lee. - Calm down!
- Let go! - Calm down.
Let go of me!
Let go!
How did you find me here?
Well...
I've been coming to this police station often...
to catch that jerk, Cho Dong Soo.
By the way, I heard about the accident.
Are you not hurt?
No.
I'm fine.
Okay. All right, then.
I'm relieved to hear that.
I'm sorry to interrupt.
Yi Ju is still shaken up.
We should head home.
Right, yes. What was I thinking?
I'm sorry.
Yes, you should get going.
Yi Ju and I will visit you soon so we can spend some time together,
Mother.
"Mother?"
All right.
You have to.
Take care.
Let's go.
You should eat something. You haven't eaten anything all day.
I'm not hungry now.
Here.
Will Mr. Kim be okay?
You're worried about another man in front of me right now?
What? Come on. He helped us a lot.
And you helped him a lot too.
You can stop worrying about him.
You have enough on your plate right now.
If you get roped into something else and end up in danger again...
I don't even want to think about it.
You know it's all over now.
I know you're worried about me, but still.
Oh, right.
What was that thing you said earlier?
You said you couldn't lose me again like that time.
I don't remember saying that.
- What? - It probably didn't mean anything.
I was flustered, you know.
I'm tired. I should wash up.
I got this. Let me.
Are you all right? Let me see.
Hey, I'm fine.
What's that...
- on your wrist? - What?
What?
Do you see this?
You can see it, right?
So all this time,
you were pretending not to know about it?
While hiding it from both yourself and me?
What on earth is happening?
Does it mean you're also...
You came back too?
To a year ago?
Why are you all quiet?
Why can't you answer my question?
Yes.
You're right.
I came back too, just like you.
But how?
What happened to you that day?
That day,
our cars crashed into each other.
What?
(Lee Jeong Hye Arrested for Embezzling Over Ten Million Dollars)
Lee Jeong Hye's embezzlement...
has made the headlines of all the news outlets.
I don't care anymore.
Getting more deeply involved won't do us any good.
You wanted to cut your losses anyway.
You made the right decision.
What do you feel like eating?
How much longer will you leave me hanging at the hotel?
I need to feel stable and secure for our baby to grow well.
I can't keep staying at the hotel...
Hold on.
Yes.
What did you say?
Okay, let's meet now then.
Where are you going? I'm not done talking yet.
It's something urgent.
This is urgent too.
I told you.
I deserted my mother and chose you.
We must get married before my belly starts showing.
Decide the date when I can properly meet your family.
Our cars crashed into each other?
To be accurate...
I crashed into your car.
What happened after that?
You were unconscious. While trying to save you,
I passed out too.
When I woke up,
it was a year before the accident.
I was willing to do anything to meet you again.
Then...
you came to me first.
Why didn't you tell me...
you also came back from the future?
Why didn't you?
How could I tell you...
I was the one who killed you?
I was devastated.
I thought it would be too much for you to accept.
That's why I hadn't said anything.
Yi Ju.
Where are you going in the middle of the night?
I'll stay at a hotel for the time being.
- I need time to sort things out. - I'll leave then.
- What? - You must stay in a safe place.
Please stay here.
And...
answer my calls.
Did you ever see your life flash...
before your eyes? Well, I did.
All those years I lived flashed...
before me like an album.
But do you know what's surprising?
I couldn't find any.
A moment I wanted to hold on to.
How is that possible?
That means I was never happy, not even for a moment.
I should have told her everything that day.
You idiot, Seo Do Guk.
How bad is the injury?
I was told he fell from a height of three stories.
The safety handrails or safety nets hadn't been installed.
There's a high chance he might not survive the night.
So it means I still have time.
- Pardon? - Contact the subcontractor...
that hired the worker.
What do you plan to do?
The dead can't speak.
I'll compensate the bereaved family, but I won't be held responsible.
Sir. I don't think that's right.
- What did you say? - Can't you see that...
to meet the unreasonable deadline we gave them,
they had to work without proper safety gear...
- If you can't do your job, leave. - Pardon?
I told you many times that I could easily find people who wanted...
to climb to the top with me in the company.
I don't need people pretending to be saints around me.
Sir. You may have misunderstood...
I'm sorry, sir.
I made a mistake.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I will make sure this never happens again.
I will call the subcontractor now.
Hurry...
before Seo Do Guk gets wind of this.
A dead worker?
How did this happen?
Technically, it was an injury which led to death.
It is unfortunate,
but this happened because...
he didn't take safety seriously when he was the safety supervisor.
The subcontractor that hired him already investigated the accident...
and confirmed the process for compensation.
You're just going to accept the result from their investigation?
We're the constructor.
We ought to know the details of the accident.
We must stop the construction and review the case thoroughly.
Do you know how much money we're losing...
every day we stop the construction?
- Is that important right now? - Is it not then?
The construction workers won't be able to get paid...
for those days.
The residents who are planning to move in...
will wonder what happened and get nervous again.
I can only imagine...
the reporters are having a field day about this accident.
They'll gossip how we're fighting for the seat at the top.
Just to satisfy your curiosity, Vice President Seo,
must Taeja Construction face all the consequences?
Look. Vice President Seo.
If you harbour ill feelings about me, address them in private.
I'm executing my tasks with proper protocols.
Don't try to poke holes in them.
Don't make me repeat myself. I already explained everything.
I told you to leave. Okay? Just leave.
Gosh. Come on.
What are you doing?
Pardon?
I'm at the wrong hall.
(Funeral Hall)
How did you know?
Know what?
Like you said, there was a group of brawny men,
surrounding the funeral hall.
Isn't it obvious?
He doesn't want anyone talking...
to the bereaved family because he's hiding something.
Then we won't be able to approach her.
No. I believe that you are more than capable of coming up with a way...
to approach her.
I am?
Do you mean that?
So...
You're Mr. Kim Soo Chul's wife, correct?
Who are you?
Hello.
I'm from Taeja Group.
- What? - I would like to hear more...
about your husband's accident.
Do you think you can spare me some time?
Those people said...
my husband was more at fault than them.
They said no good would come of it if I fought about it.
So they wanted to settle right away.
They also told me they had documents as evidence.
- Documents? - By any chance, were you able...
to see the documents?
I read the news article that a worker died.
How are things at work?
(How are things at work?)
Yi Ju. How are you? I'm just worried about you.
Welcome.
Right. Here you go.
You didn't have to bring anything. Thank you.
By the way, where's your husband? He didn't come with you?
Sorry.
I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I?
No. It's not that.
We've been...
spending some time apart for the time being.
What?
Can I ask you why you guys fought?
We didn't fight. It's just...
He was good to me from the very beginning.
Then this crossed my mind all of a sudden.
It wasn't because he loved me,
but because he pitied me...
and felt sorry for me. Perhaps that was why he was nice to me.
What on earth are you talking about?
No man in the world...
would love a woman because he pitied her.
The way he looks at you and behaves around you.
I'm certain that's love.
What made you doubt his love?
"No one loves you."
"Even your mother abandoned you."
"Who would love a girl like you?"
That's what Lee Jeong Hye used to tell all the time.
How...
How could she utter such harsh words?
I guess I must have been brainwashed.
That's why I was scared.
I was scared that no one would love a girl like me.
Yi Ju. You had to go through...
this awful experience all by yourself.
But you still became this sweet, caring woman instead of acting up.
Why do you think that is?
This was all you.
It was because you protected yourself.
So have a little more faith in yourself.
Love yourself more.
Why?
Because you deserve...
to be loved more than anyone.
So...
don't let that awful woman influence you in any way.
Thank you for saying so.
But...
I didn't want to be alone.
I needed my mother.
You know, some kids were loved...
for just being born.
I really envied them.
I'm...
I'm really sorry.
Then...
could you do all the things you missed out on...
when I was a kid?
Yes.
I'll do that.
I'll make you feel like the most loved daughter...
in this whole world.
Well,
she's pregnant with his child.
Given the recent situation at work,
I wasn't sure when to tell you the news.
But I couldn't keep postponing it.
Yu Ra will start showing soon.
Is this true?
We don't know the gender yet, but our baby is growing well.
People say a child can bring happiness to families.
Yi Ju.
Are you here to see me?
I brought your clothes and some things you might need.
Would you want to come in for a bit?
Let me give you some tea.
A cup of warm tea sounds better.
I saw the news.
Did you?
Is everything okay?
How did a worker end up dead?
To tell you the truth, I don't know what to do.
If I keep digging, this accident...
will damage the company badly.
Our family will suffer too.
It sounds like there's a problem.
So are you going to cover up when you know it's not right?
Do Guk. Do you still not get it?
The bigger the problem is, you must open up more.
That shows your trust and respect to the people around you.
Hiding things from them...
isn't being considerate.
It will hurt them more.
Yes.
You're right.
Yes. I'll be home soon today.
I'll bring fried chicken.
I promise.
I have to go.
Sir.
I hope I'm not imposing on you by asking to meet.
No, sir. Please tell me why you wanted to meet.
Sure. I'll get to the point right away.
Mr. Kim Soo Chul died in the recent accident.
And I would like...
to see his documents.
But that's...
I'm sorry.
That's above my pay grade.
It sounded like...
you were talking to your child just now.
How old is he?
- He's in third grade. - I see.
They have a child as well.
- Who do you mean? - Kim Soo Chul's wife.
She's pregnant.
She said she was almost due.
The baby will be born soon.
If the man did nothing wrong,
I believe it's wrong to let the child...
grow up thinking their father...
fell to his death because...
he was drunk on the job.
I know what you're thinking.
Jung Wook said he'd promote you...
once he becomes president.
Your belief in that...
kept you going so far.
But...
it's best you give up.
Because...
I'm back at Taeja Construction.
What's this?
A document that was crucial in persuading the widow to settle.
The management supervisor appointment letter.
It says Kim Soo Chul himself is...
the site's safety supervisor.
That means in the case of his accident,
he is responsible.
Why are you showing us this?
I had it scrutinized.
- It was not signed in Kim's hand. - What?
His colleagues also testified they never saw such a form.
The company said he drank until the early hours of the day,
but his colleagues deny it.
The idea for this incredible picture...
- came from Seo Jung Wook's head. - What?
I got this from the director of finance.
It lists all the corruption Jung Wook committed,
and what he did and how to put together a slush fund.
There must be a misunderstanding.
Why would Jung Wook do...
I had no idea...
that he went so far.
- What? - I said I'd watch you for a year.
I meant it.
I'd been told by my secretary Mr. Jang...
that Jung Wook was meeting CEOs of various subsidiaries...
and was suspected of giving them money.
Then your grandmother already knew.
Thank you.
You gave me the courage to broach the tough subject.
No, it's easier said than done.
You did the hard work.
Well done.
Get some rest. You must be tired.
Yi Ju, wait.
There's...
something I must tell you.
Before I do,
there's something I want you to see.
If you go in my room, you'll see another door.
Open that door...
and you'll find what you were looking for.
What I was looking for?
There's a painting I want to find.
I've been asking around, but I couldn't find it.
What was the painting about?
The title was "Frozen Spring."
"Frozen Spring."
Why does he have it?
Father, you asked to see me?
Will you stay for lunch?
Shall I get a table somewhere nice?
You lied to me.
What about?
You're feigning ignorance again?
How much more will you disappoint me?
Will you calm down, Father?
Explain what you mean so I can...
(Taeja Construction)
- Was it Do Guk? - What?
It was. He forged these to frame me...
The inspection team got their hands on these.
What?
Please help me, Father.
You know I'm about to become a dad.
I can't be behind bars when the baby's born.
Then...
you should've followed the rules from the start.
Why did you do it? You forged documents.
- Why did you go that far? - I did it...
for the company.
Help me one last time, Father. Please.
I stand here before you today...
to tell you about the death that happened...
- at a Taeja Construction site. - It's already too late.
I'm here to share the truth.
Kim Soo Chul's death happened...
because appropriate safety measures...
were not taken due to rushed deadlines.
The responsibility lies with us, the constructor.
Our executive...
made it look like the supervisor's fault,
and forced them to settle out of court.
Through this incident,
once again, I thought of the mindset one must have when they set out.
It's where you eat, sleep, and rest with the people you love.
A house is where you live together.
The kind of house you live in makes the person.
I want to grow up and do what you do.
(Taeja Group)
What it is I really set out to do.
How important a job I do now.
Did I forget for a while?
I am so very remorseful.
I said I built apartments for people,
but I was blinded.
I failed to see the people.
We'll carry out an inspection on every stage...
of the construction process.
If it comes to the worst,
we'll tear it down and start over.
We'll also visit Mr. Kim's mourning family,
and we'll apologize and discuss thoroughly...
what they want as compensation.
The person in charge of all that...
is the man right here, Vice President Seo Do Guk.
Once again,
I voice my sincere and deepest regrets.
What?
What about Jung Wook?
He'll be cut off?
Seo Jung Wook.
We'll arrest you for embezzlement, forgery of documents,
and amassing a slush fund.
Come with us.
Take everything.
Today was a tough day, wasn't it?
I'm okay.
Your painting. Did you see it?
How did it end up with you?
I first got to know you...
because of that painting.
It's easy.
How do you like the painting?
It makes me think.
Yes?
In what way?
It feels like spring,
but it also feels like...
winter.
It's like spring has frozen over.
Yes. You know, I think you're right.
The name of this painting is "Frozen Spring."
- Really? - Yes.
I fell in love with the painting by an unknown artist,
and in the end, I bought it.
I searched for the artist and found out it was you.
At the time,
you'd just married Se Hyeok.
I watched you from afar in secret.
When I saw you at the party...
celebrating the savings bank takeover...
I got angry.
With the family that treated you the way they did,
and with you for putting up with it.
Are you their spokesperson?
It's because we're family.
The truth was, I was angry with myself...
that I couldn't do anything.
I regretted speaking to you...
so callously.
On the way back, the accident happened.
And you went back in time?
Yes.
When I went back a year to July of 2022...
I'll be direct.
How about you marry me instead of Yu Ra?
You were a completely different person.
Is it to get your revenge?
On Han Yu Ra and Lee Jeong Hye?
Yes.
That's why I chose you.
You said you needed me to get back at your darned family.
I was so very pleased.
Why did you accept my offer?
Because I'd realized something?
That I was...
already in love with you.
Yi Ju.
I love you.
I love you...
so very much.
You know too that...
the numbers are getting more distinct, right?
What does it mean?
Does it mean...
something will happen again on that day?
I don't know.
There's a place I'd like to take you to.
Where?
You remember me, don't you?
I was here before with Chairman Lee Tae Ja.
Yes.
And you must be her grandson.
Yes.
What did you come here to ask?
I heard you told my grandfather...
that I was my father's biological daughter.
Did you tell my stepmother as well?
Back then, on Chairman Han's belongings,
something round was stuck to it.
- That did the telling. - You mean...
there was a listening device?
It's what the general spirit said, so I have no idea.
Did you come here to ask me that?
Well...
How should I put it?
We were given a year.
So, I was wondering what I had to do...
to spend that year safely.
Only one of you was supposed to die.
But both of you are dead.
That's why things got twisted.
- What? - That's all he says.
The general spirit.
Then...
if one of us dies,
can the other person live?
Do Guk.
You should think of a way so you can both live.
Why is your first thought that one should die?
There's a way we can both live?
I can't say.
The deities know more about...
the life down here than I do.
What happens up there, no one can say.
But if I were you,
rather than live in anxiety, I'd follow the will of the heavens.
The will of the heavens?
There's not much to it.
The time you were given back.
If you spend it well,
wouldn't you find the answer yourselves?
You said...
we were given a year.
You didn't say we went back in time.
Let's do that.
That's the only thing we can do.
Live each day we're given to the fullest.
(7 months later)
Everyone is cooking while I am doing nothing.
That's nice.
Make sure you eat up.
(Vice President Seo Do Guk)
I'm upset that you seem thinner these days.
People will think I'm giving you a hard time.
Fine.
I'll eat a lot and pack some food for you.
Bye.
Goodness.
Did you two really make these?
I knew it. My mom is the best teacher.
They worked really hard without missing a single class.
Try mine first, Yi Ju.
I was the top student in our batch.
Then I was the outstanding one.
- Oh, my. - Please try this first.
Let me see.
What's wrong?
Wait. I suddenly feel queasy.
- Oh, my. - Don't tell me you're...
- Do you also think it's that? - Yes.
You...
My gosh. Is our food that terrible to you?
That's not what I'm talking about!
Yi Ju. Could you be pregnant?
What?
- You're pregnant? - No way.
I must be stressed from managing the gallery.
This morning, I also gagged when I opened the fridge...
What about last month? Did you get your period?
- My gosh. - Goodness.
Hi, baby.
It's me, Aunt Soo Jin. Remember my name first.
I'm the real aunt. Don't jump the line.
My name is Seo Do Na, got it?
Seo Do Na.
No, I'm not.
I'm not pregnant. It's not true.
Yi Ju, good job.
You did great.
No, I'm not pregnant, Mom.
You've got it wrong.
- I'm not. - You're wrong.
What? Do you have something to say?
Well, I...
What's wrong?
Are you sick? Are you upset?
No, that's not it.
Gosh, you are.
- Come. - What are you doing?
When you're down, lying with your husband is the best. Yes?
Wait, I think I'm pregnant.
- What? - I think I'm pregnant.
I'll have to get it confirmed at the hospital,
but I tried a pregnancy test earlier.
What's the matter?
Are you okay?
I just...
imagined that our kid entered elementary school.
Why are you thinking so far ahead?
I don't think I can send my daughter anywhere.
What will I do when she wants to marry some guy?
- Darn it. - Do you want it to be a girl?
No.
Be it a boy or a girl, our baby will be pretty if they take after you.
My goodness.
I'm so overjoyed that it feels surreal.
Today is that day.
Oh, right.
Getting such good news on this day...
must be a positive sign for us, right?
Yes. In that case, let's go to the hospital tomorrow.
For today, the two of us...
No, wait.
The three of us will be together.
Let's do our best to give birth to a healthy baby.
We'll all be happy.
Yes. Let's do that.
What?
Are you tired? Should we sleep?
Let's eat first. I'm hungry.
What should I make? Pasta? Steak?
I ordered pig's trotters.
With buckwheat noodles.
Good job.
(Byun Jae Ho)
- Hey. What's the matter? - Mr. Seo, I have something to say.
What is it? Tell me.
I'm at a café near your house. Can we meet for a while?
Oh, I...
What's the matter?
What is it? Tell me.
Well...
Jung Wook attempted to kill himself in prison.
What?
- And then? - He was sent to the hospital...
But he disappeared.
Nonetheless, they dispatched officers all around the hospital.
He will be caught soon.
Mr. Seo, what's wrong?
Mr. Seo!
Yi Ju.
Yi Ju!
Yi Ju.
Where is she?

She sure seemed happy after ruining all of our lives.
Aren't you even angry?
Do you want me to take revenge on your behalf?
So I thought about the best way to torment Seo Do Guk.
It would most likely be for him to lose his beloved Han Yi Ju.
Yi Ju, please be safe.
Dear Deity, if you're there, He deserves nothing but love.
She wants to live a loving life.
Please give this woman her life back.
