I told you to get to your senses.
Seo Jung Min would never show interest in a girl like you.
I know he doesn't think of me that way.
But there's a great deal of trust between us.
However, I'm very close to losing his trust.
So what do you want me to do?
I want you to bet your chances on me.
I'm going to show him...
that I'm the person he needs by his side, not Lee Ji Eun.
And in the end, he'll acknowledge it.
Guys who are kind...
aren't able to reject women who are kind to them.
I guess you have a point.
Who would've thought Mr. Choi would've ended up falling for you?
You're a professional when it comes to using pity...
to make a guy like you.
The lower the chances, the bigger the reward.
If I end up marrying him,
I'll give you half of my fortune.
Lee Ji Eun can't have babies.
Judging by how much he cares for my son,
it's easy to tell that he also wants his own child.
So who knows? I might be able to give him a son.
He's the heir of Seorin Group.
He should have his own son.
You just need to do what I tell you to do.
Just keep pretending like...
you're loyal to Choi Myung Hwa because you got bought off by her.
People like Choi Myung Hwa are so typical.
She uses other people's weaknesses to threaten them...
and gain benefit.
Then she gets rid of them once they become useless.
She has our video footage.
So she is someone we need to get rid of.
So you want me to be a double agent, right?
Then what do I need to do to prevent Seo Jung Min...
from losing his trust in you?
Do you think she'll come clean and honestly tell us...
that she gave the files to Choi Myung Hwa?
We have no evidence.
She supported me,
and she took care of things for me even before I asked her to.
Why do you think she changed all of a sudden?
The only reason she got bought off by Director Choi...
was probably because of money.
I bet you're really hurt.
You trusted her so much, and you were nothing but kind.
If it turns out Ms. Seo behaved the way she did...
with hidden intentions, I can't say I won't be shocked.
I don't want to feel depressed today.
I'm just going to focus on how I'm going to find the files...
regarding Director Choi's irregularities.
Let's go.
Hit me.
You're crazy. I can't believe you're making me do this.
Hurry up and hit me.
You'd better brace yourself.
I can't!
I can't betray Director Seo.
Get to your senses. Don't be such a fool.
If we do what Director Choi asks, our lives will change completely.
So just do what you're told.
No, I can never betray my boss.
My son and I think of him as a savior.
I'd be no better than a beast if I even think about betraying him.
I want you out of my life!
Great acting.
Hit me one more time.
If you ever show up before Ms. Seo again,
I swear I won't let it slide.
Why didn't you tell us?
Have you been getting abused?
Don't worry.
We'll protect you.
Ji Eun, you've fallen for my trap.
I was suspicious of you, Ms. Seo.
I'm sorry.
That explains why you're here at this hour.
It's because of Director Choi, isn't it?
I saw her hiding behind the curtain in the ER.
Why didn't you tell me she came to see you?
I didn't want you to get the wrong idea.
Director Choi hid behind the curtain...
as soon as she saw you.
And she sent Yang In Cheol...
because I kept refusing to cooperate.
Is he your boyfriend?
We grew up together at an orphanage. He's a good guy.
He's not the father of my child.
No matter the circumstances,
you should never see a guy who's abusive.
We should file a restraining order against him.
You're right.
I'll ask Mr. Kim tomorrow.
By any chance, did Director Choi ever ask you...
to do anything for her?
She asked me to find the files regarding her irregularities...
and bring them to her.
That means there's someone else...
who needs her files other than myself.
The fact that she went all the way to the hospital...
to coax her in the afternoon...
proves that she doesn't have the files.
Then let's see. You said the morning of our wedding day...
was the last time you checked the files, right?
That means they disappeared while we were on our honeymoon.
I was home all day today.
Either that,
or it could be someone who came over for dinner tonight.
Are you suspecting your aunt?
Wouldn't she want something to hold against Director Choi?
They're no longer allies.
Director Choi got ousted,
and she's not the type to just sit back and do nothing.
So my aunt probably needed a safety net.
If I meet up with Chief Prosecutor Kim...
and give him those files regarding Director Choi,
it will cause a huge turmoil.
And that will inevitably have some kind of an effect on Seorin.
I think it's too hasty to be suspicious of your aunt.
I'm just saying it's a possibility.
They're obviously not suspicious of me at all.
And thanks to me, Choi Myung Hwa also managed to avoid the radar.
Did you come looking for me?
Mr. Seo, you're back.
I came again because I missed you.
Who's this lady?
You must be Jung Min. It's nice to meet you.
Mom, I'm sleepy.
He just woke up, so he must be a bit cranky.
Mr. Seo, can you carry me back to my bed?
Okay, sure.
I'll take him to his room.
Don't go until I fall asleep.
Okay.
All I did today was cause you trouble.
You had a long day.
I'll see you at the office.
If your aunt turns out to be the one who took those files,
wouldn't it be a relief?
Director Choi couldn't harm the company...
because she knew I had the files regarding her irregularities.
I know I threatened her...
even though I wasn't sure about putting her in jail.
But she crossed the line...
and tried to hurt me.
She even tried to hurt you. I can't forgive her for that.
I shouldn't forgive her.
We can't continue living in anxiety...
just because of the grudge that Director Choi holds.
Maybe you're not able to reconcile,
but don't you think you should find a way...
to make her come around at least?
I'll either see this through or try to coax her.
But we really do need those files regarding her irregularities.
I'll meet my aunt,
and if it turns out she took them,
I'm going to ask her what she plans to do.
But of course, I'll make sure she knows it was wrong...
to secretly take something from our place.
Where did you get that candy?
Little Jung Min gave it to me.
I don't know if it's because he's sick,
but he's already so mature, and that makes me feel bad.
And maybe it's because we have the same name,
I care about him a lot.
You want a kid, don't you?
You're all I need, Ji Eun.
Should we try artificial insemination?
I'm sorry I wasn't more considerate.
I should've known that being close with Jung Min...
would've made you feel upset.
I always liked how much you loved kids,
but it made me think of a lot of things.
But I really mean it. We should try to have a baby.
I heard artificial insemination is really difficult.
Are you sure about this?
I don't know if we'll be blessed enough...
to have a baby or not.
But I still want to try.
If we have a daughter who looks just like you,
she'll be unbelievably beautiful.
Give me my video footage like you promised.
I never promised you anything.
Then I can't give you these files.
You're way too bold.
If you don't give me that,
what makes you think I won't tell Jung Min about you?
Unfortunately,
we're all born with a certain type of fates.
No matter how hard you try, you'll always be known as an orphan.
So you can't climb too high up the social ladder.
And based on the hegemony of the upper class,
they will never let a low class like you join the family.
No matter how much Jung Min loved Ji Eun,
they never would've accepted her...
if she was from an insignificant background.
That's why you also weren't able to register your marriage.
I don't think you're dumb.
But I do think you need to know your place.
It's time you give up...
on trying to make Jung Min yours.
Just do what you're told...
until I finally take over Seorin.
I'll make sure you get your carrots.
You need to be kept under control,
so it'd obviously be better for me to keep that video.
You may go now.
Dad looks like he's doing a lot better.
We took Dad to buy some stuff he might need during lunchtime,
and we also took him shopping.
If you were there too, everyone in our family would've been there.
Dad must be really happy to have a son-in-law.
He was always next to Jung Min.
Going to a hospital won't bring his memory back right away,
but I figured it might help to get a full checkup,
so I booked one for both you and Father.
Okay.
Thank you.
But I'll get the checkup a bit later.
It's time you choose whom you're going to live with.
That's not something we can force upon her.
It's her life.
And no matter what she chooses to do,
we should respect her decision.
You can say that because you're married, and you don't live here.
But I don't feel the same way.
I want to live with Dad.
Then go ahead and live with him.
Does that mean you're going to live with Mr. Kang?
I think we all need some time.
Mr. Kang's probably really flustered by all this,
and although your father never shows it,
I'm sure he's frustrated that he can't remember anything.
And most importantly, your mother is in a very difficult situation.
Mom, when you found Dad,
were you the one who suggested to keep it a secret from us?
Before I got married,
I remember you trying to find Uncle.
Does that have anything to do with why Dad ended up...
disappearing from the hospital?
Isn't that obvious?
He always took money from us, got himself in trouble,
and caused problems.
If it really turns out that Uncle was the one who put Dad...
in the sanatorium while he was unconscious,
I will never forgive him.
It's no wonder he went abroad with our money...
as soon as the company went bankrupt.
I'm grateful that Ji Eun's dad is still alive.
But I must say, I'm embarrassed to have you find out about this.
Mother, we're a family. There's no need to feel embarrassed.
Thank you for saying that.
And while you're here,
you should take that painting. You got it for Ji Eun.
Just keep it here.
No, I'm going to empty this house.
Plus, you got it for Ji Eun,
so she should keep it.
I'm not feeling very well, so I'm going to get some rest.
Jung Min, can you buy this house for us?
Young Eun.
There are things that you shouldn't say.
Young Eun.
If I buy this house and give the money to Mr. Kang,
wouldn't that give him the wrong idea?
It'd be the same thing as telling him that he's no longer...
a part of the family.
Regardless of what Mom chooses to do,
we need to try our best not to hurt Mr. Kang.
And the quicker Dad retrieves his memory,
the easier it might be for Mom to make a decision.
Then...
at least help us find Uncle, the darn dirtbag.
Yes, we'll have to find him.
Our family suffered so much...
for the past 10 years without Dad.
But of course, I'm sure it was worse for Dad.
I'm sorry for coming unannounced.
You seem a lot better now that you've found your family.
I know we're not on good terms,
but I came to make something clear.
Shouldn't I be the one to have something to say?
- First, take a seat. - Okay.
I'll cut straight to the chase.
They say it's even worse...
to regret the time you've wasted.
I don't remember everything yet,
but it looks like I wasn't a good husband to my wife,
and I regret that a lot.
Now that I've been given a second chance,
I don't want to miss it.
The biggest thing you'll ever regret in life...
is not taking advantage of your opportunities.
Hyun Sook hasn't made a choice yet.
And I don't plan on giving up on my woman.
Mr. Kang, you're a good man.
So why don't you just give up for the sake of our family?
That's not how our feelings work.
I'm not going to give up just because you tell me to.
Legally speaking, she's still my wife.
Do you love her?
I love her.
You're only still married to her...
because the family thought you were dead.
What's important...
is that she realizes who she loves...
and makes a decision for herself.
The fact that she remained my wife all these years...
already proves that she made a choice.
But of course,
I'd like to know if she still loves me.
Then let's find out how she feels using our own separate methods.
Our own separate methods?
You keep saying vague things.
I should go back now.
I can't wait until your memory comes back.
That way, you'll be able to find out if you truly love her,
or if you're only clinging to her...
so you can retrieve...
your lost memory.
If we hadn't met like this,
I'm sure we would've been very good friends.
It's a pity.
I guess ill-fated relationships really do exist.
Good morning, Director Seo. Good morning, Ms. Lee.
You prepared one for me too?
Of course.
I'm also going to take care of your health from now on.
So you should come by every morning and drink your juice.
Thank you.
I want to scout you...
and have you work at Bisang Textile.
I can't let you do that.
It's your first day of work after you got married.
So I want you to look perfect.
Then can you help me wear a tie every morning?
I won't be seeing you for the next couple of hours.
Then should I bring my desk to your office?
It'd be great if I could always have you within a 3m radius.
You can put the juice on the table and leave.
Why don't I meet Director Choi and talk to her face to face?
If she doesn't have the files,
she's probably nervous right now.
And that might be a good opportunity for us...
to stop her malice.
I don't think that's a good idea.
You know what kind of person she is.
She cunningly uses you...
and crushes you once she's done.
But still, we can try talking to her.
Let me meet up with my aunt first.
She's coming to the office in the afternoon after a meeting.
So let's decide after I talk to her about it.
And I'll meet her if I have to. You're no match for her.
She might try to hurt you.
Are you busy today?
I have tons of work piled up because we were on our honeymoon.
I need to hold an event on social media...
to thank our consumers.
Hello, everyone. Among those of you who purchased our products online,
we drew a few names to thank you for the purchase.
The most popular online item of the 1st half of 2021...
is this outfit right here.
It was loved by many people.
Thank you, everyone, for showing so much love.
To thank our consumers for their purchase,
we'll be giving out limited-edition golf apparel...
to a few of the winners.
We actually invited one of our consumers...
so we could unbox the product together.
Please join us.
- Hello. - Hello.
Please give us an introduction.
My name is Kim Seung Hye, a fond user of the online mall.
Thank you for inviting me to the event.
It's nice to meet you, Ms. Kim.
Why don't we go ahead and start unboxing?
Okay, please open it.
- Ta-da. - Is this all for me?
Of course. In order to thank our consumers,
our employees carefully handpicked every single item.
Ms. Kim, can you wear this for us...
- to show us how it looks? - Sure.
You changed.
The outfits match nicely.
The color is nice and bright,
so it'll be a great outfit to wear during springtime.
We will always be grateful for the love received from you,
and we'll continue to communicate with you and repay you.
Thank you, everyone.
You did great.
You did great today.
You say you weren't the one...
who took the files regarding Director Choi's irregularities,
so I'm going to believe you.
How many times do I need to tell you that it wasn't me?
But of course, this is why...
people always suspect ex-convicts whenever a crime occurs.
But I'm upset to see that you find it hard to believe me.
I just asked because I wanted to hear it from you.
I want Choi Myung Hwa in jail...
more than anybody.
Although I failed to find any evidence,
she hurt you,
and she almost hurt Ji Eun too.
For all I know, I might be her next target.
I recently hired more security guards.
A woman with a grudge is capable of doing anything.
That's what scares me the most.
Seeing that she's quiet,
I'm pretty sure she doesn't have the files yet.
But who else other than us...
would want to use those files against Director Choi?
What if it's someone unexpected?
People have many different sides to them.
We're capable of having many different faces.
And I'm thinking it might be someone who's unwillingly...
working for Director Choi because of a weakness.
Ms. Lee, the show went great today.
People seemed to love it.
You've achieved success with both love and work.
You know everyone's jealous, right?
Ms. Lee, do you think I'll ever be able to become like you?
Of course.
Do you want me to tell you the secret?
What is it?
"I can do anything!"
You need to tell yourself that and be confident in yourself.
Happiness is followed by hard work.
But of course, misfortunes come unexpectedly.
Ms. Lee, do you have time?
I need to talk to you.
Of course. Can you clean up the rest for me?
Sure.
Is there something you need to tell me?
About the restraining order you mentioned.
I don't think I'm going to file it.
Yang In Cheol is a good guy.
He's lived a pitiful life.
I know he fell for Director Choi's money.
But last night, he came to the hospital...
and promised that he won't do it again.
I need to meet you.
The more I think about it,
the more I feel like it's only right to tell you.
You and Jung Min won't easily be able to get out of this.
Come to the gallery. Let's discuss it together.
Is there something wrong?
Well...
I just got a text from Director Choi.
She says there's something she needs to tell me...
and that we should meet up to discuss it.
She says it's something I won't easily be able to get out of.
What's this supposed to mean?
Who knows?
She's always planning foul things.
So she might be trying to do something to you again.
But for some strange reason, I feel like she's worried about me.
She sounds different.
I think she's sincerely worried.
But of course, this is just my hunch speaking.
"Something she won't easily be able to get out of"?
She must be talking about me, right?
Who's in Ji Eun's car?
My goodness.
Is anyone nearby? Help!
Anyone?
My goodness!
(Phoenix 2020)
I think we can tell everyone now.
She's my sister-in-law.
She was my late brother-in-law's wife.
You're the eldest daughter-in-law of Seorin Group?
I'm sorry. I might be late tonight.
Director Seo, I found this very effective.
Thank you, Ms. Seo. You should go home.
Do you not like it because I look like a married woman?
No, I'm glad that you're married. You're finally mine now.
I know it's late, but let's meet.
I need to talk to you about Seo Eun Ju.
