How many times do I have to tell you?
Seo Jin Ho, we're over.
And I'm marrying Director Na.
What?
You're marrying Director Na?
Yes, we're marrying.
And I'm truly in love with him.
Did you really mean what you just said?
I did.
So, please don't be delusional...
and be good to Ju Ryun.
If you understand, you need to leave.
Hey, Ms. Park.
Were you asleep, Mr. Na?
No, I wasn't. You can talk to me.
I have a favor to ask you.
Gosh, a favor to ask me?
What is it?
Jung Woo Jin suddenly came to my studio,
so I told him...
Never mind.
What is it?
Don't leave me curious like this.
Well...
I told him...
I was in love with you...
and that I was to marry you.
What did you say?
You were to marry me?
The words suddenly came out of my mouth.
So, I didn't want you to be flustered...
if Woo Jin asked you.
Ms. Park, why don't we just say...
that you and I will really marry?
What? Well, I said that...
because he seemed obsessed and hopeful about me.
I'm sorry.
It feels like I'm taking advantage of you.
It's all right. I'm here for your convenience.
Then, is today the first day of our relationship?
Mr. Na.
Gosh, this isn't good.
A woman who is this assertive and scary...
isn't really my type.
But then an honest and straightforward woman is...
more attractive than a prude, pretty woman who wears a mask.
So, please don't put on a mask, Ms. Park.
You just said you were scared.
Yes, I was frightened.
But it makes you all that more attractive.
Anyway, thank you for taking this pleasantly.
Yes, don't work too hard until it's the late hour.
Goodbye.
Mom, you received a package.
- What did you order? - What is it?
- Let me see it. - Here.
Right, these.
I ran out, so I ordered some more.
I got these as a present and took some,
and it felt like my bones have become stronger.
I've been ordering these regularly and taking them.
I see.
In this weather,
you can easily slip, fall, and break something.
I felt less worried to see you take these in advance.
Don't worry. I'll look after my health...
and make sure you two don't worry.
No, let us worry.
You're our mom.
Yes, thank you, my son.
Anyway, is Hyun Woo not up yet?
I did hear him sniggering alone through the night.
What? He sniggered alone?
He really did.
These spending must be approved for this month, Ms. Moon.
(CEO Moon Jeong In)
What? 580,000 dollars?
Yes, if you postpone them again,
people will misunderstand and think you are choosing not to pay them.
Wait.
Who uses this credit card?
Why does this person go over the allowed limit?
Who are you talking about?
This one. Who used 1,950 dollars?
I need to talk to this person.
Just leave it, Ms. Moon.
At times, people end up overspending depending on the situation.
This credit card isn't for personal use.
It's a corporate card meant to be used out on the field.
Get the person here now.
Did you want to see me, Mr. Kim?
You're here.
Can we talk for a moment?
Well, is it urgent?
I have to be at a meeting.
Mr. Kim, is that staff member not here yet?
Well, she's here, Ms. Moon.
She's the one.
Hello, Ms. Moon.
Was it you...
who used the corporate card however you wanted?
Sorry?
Hey, do you think the corporate card is your own,
you thieving brat?
Wait, "thieving brat?"
I have the statement here,
so take a look at it yourself.
Ms. Moon.
I don't need someone like you, so get lost!
I...
I'm not sure what the misunderstanding is,
but I didn't do anything wrong.
What? You didn't do anything wrong?
She's right, Ms. Moon.
You would perfectly understand if you were out on the field.
She was one of the staff members who held out through the hot summer.
Mr. Kim, are you taking this thief's side?
This is outrageous, Ms. Moon.
We had one portable fan to rely on...
and worked out there covered in sweat.
How can you call me a thief for handing out some iced coffee?
"Some iced coffee?"
Hey, it might be some iced coffee to you,
but it was my hard-earned money!
Please, Ms. Moon.
Get out of here now.
I don't need a scumbag like you!
Everyone, let's have some coffee.
Wait, what's with the air in here, Mom?
Ju Ryun, did you want to be fired, too?
Do you come here to work or to hang out?
Why are you suddenly mad?
What makes you any different...
from this girl who steals from me if you act like this?
You and her are the same.
You two are both thieves!
What? Mom. Mom!
Don't cry.
Ms. Moon was too much.
Mr. Kim, what's going on?
I have no idea.
(CEO Moon Jeong In)
Those thieves.
Mom, what's wrong with you?
You need to grow up, too.
Hey, our business is about to go down.
I know that, but Mom.
My investors are demanding their money back.
I now have to pay compensation...
instead of getting the intermediate payment...
because of Seol Ah.
I have to give up 5.4 million dollars!
Can't you ask Dad for help?
Your dad?
Hey, your dad was in a tough spot, so he borrowed from Lee Sun Ae.
"Lee Sun Ae?" CEO Lee Sun Ae?
Yes, Director Na Hyun Woo's mother.
He must've been desperate...
if he had to ask his ex-wife for money.
Everyone around me is like a thief...
who's trying to extort money from me!
So? What did you say you'd do?
He had some gift certificates as a means of his slush fund,
so he decided to liquidate those...
and give the money to you.
Chairman Min must be in a tough corner...
if he had to liquidate the gift certificates.
Yes, of course.
His business is about to disappear overnight, ma'am.
All right.
Yes, right.
I got the amount I promised.
You have a lot more to do in the future, but take this first.
I don't know if I should be doing this.
Money never betrays.
People do.
Then, please excuse me.
I'd get in trouble if Chairman Min wanted me in a rush.
Sure.
Please excuse me, Ms. Lee.
Chairman Min Tae Chang, it's me.
I was about to call you.
I'll pay back about 200,000 dollars first,
so can you let me off?
You owe me so much. Did you say just 200,000 dollars?
Why don't you sell your home first?
Hey, you can't speak that carelessly to me.
That'll be much better than having the place seized.
I can give you a little more than the current market price.
You!
Have you gone crazy?
Hey, I won't let you get away with this.
Then, what can you do?
Are you going to kill me again?
(Chairman Min Tae Chang)
Dad.
Fine. Whatever. We'll talk later.
Dad, who were you talking to?
It sounded like a woman on the other side.
You don't have to mind it.
As you already know, I'm popular with women.
By any chance, was it CEO Lee Sun Ae?
Director Na's mother?
You don't have to know.
Anyway, why are you here?
Dad, how much debt is your business in?
The debt for my business?
Did you borrow money from Mr. Na's mother?
You don't have to mind this, Ju Ryun.
Mom's business is in danger, too.
She couldn't sign with Ms. Park and Mr. Na,
so she ended up having to pay the compensation.
What if you two both go down?
Don't worry. I'll take responsibility no matter what.
So, you can live your life doing whatever you want.
Wait a minute. One second.
Here. Take my credit card and go shopping.
You can buy whatever you want.
Dad.
It's all right, really.
I can do anything for you. Take it.
Ju Ryun.
Ju Ryun!
Na Seung Woo. You have no choice but to fall for me.
Hey, Mom.
I thought you were making gimbap and bringing it to the store.
What are you up to?
Are you done?
Well, you know...
What do I know?
Gosh, I gave up. I was too tired to get groceries.
So, you can just buy some.
It's much more cost-effective.
Hey! Then, you shouldn't have offered.
Your dad came here and waited, too.
Goodness, Ji Yeon. I'll talk to you at home.
What did she say? She didn't make any?
She told us to buy some.
Gosh, that girl shouldn't have offered.
I didn't expect her to do this from the start, Mi Sun.
I sometimes wonder if I should've listened to Moon Jeong In...
back when she offered if I had known she'd be like this.
Her offer for a permanent position at a broadcasting station?
Good grief. Did you believe that?
Also, broadcasting stations were filled with snooty people,
so someone who wasn't tenacious like Ji Yeon couldn't last anyway.
You're right. That could be the case for broadcasting stations.
But she still needs a job, Aunt.
Ji Yeon has enough jobs.
She cooks and washes dishes.
That's why you and Aunt can come out and work in peace.
Is that right?
In that case, you can go out and make money.
Ji Yeon is at home now, so you need to make up for it.
Why are you sitting here?
Go out and work twice as much for Ji Yeon.
All right. Fine.
- Go now. - Yes, you should go.
- Fine! - Gosh, what's taking you so long?
- Go now. - Go make some money.
My gosh.
Ms. Lee, a woman named Min Ju Ryun is here to see you.
(CEO Lee Sun Ae)
Min Ju Ryun of Jeongin Entertainment?
- Let her in. - Yes, Ms. Lee.
Please come in.
Hello, Ms. Lee.
What brings you here?
- Let's have a seat. - Yes.
- Please bring us some tea. - Yes, ma'am.
What brings you here without a call?
Please show my dad some mercy, Ms. Lee.
Sorry?
I heard he borrowed a huge amount of money from you.
So, please show him some understanding...
I'm not sure how much you know.
But I already let him borrow quite a huge amount.
The interest was the lowest in the industry, too.
On top of that, I haven't deposited the promissory notes to the bank.
I thought I already showed enough mercy,
even more than what a parent would show to one's child.
Then, how much did my dad borrow in total?
About 15 million dollars, including the interest.
Ms. Lee, my dad spent his life...
building this business with his blood and sweat.
If you show him a little more mercy and understanding...
He put his blood and sweat into this all his life?
That blood and sweat don't belong to Chairman Min.
The blood, sweat, and tears belong to someone else.
Sorry?
I'm not sure if you know this.
Both Mind Trading Company and Jeongin Entertainment were...
brought up by extorting every penny out of others.
Especially their seed money.
That fortune belonged to Seol Ah's father, Dr. Baek Dong Ho.
Did you know that?
Ms. Lee.
I know you're my dad's ex-wife.
So, I know you're doing this to get your revenge...
after the unconsenting divorce.
You're right on point.
Those two killed my sons.
What? What are you talking about?
They killed your sons?
That's a story you don't need to know.
Anyway, I'm trying to remove those two scumbags...
from this society.
You're way over the line.
So what if I am?
And Ju Ryun, don't ever come back to see me.
Instead, go back...
and enjoy everything you can as Jeongin Entertainment's director.
It won't last long.
In the end, Jeongin Entertainment signed the contract...
with false terms.
She hasn't signed with the director or the writer.
No, well,
she tried to sound vague and let it pass, but it didn't work.
Anyway, we must...
open a suit at this point in time...
to take the compensation.
So, will it be a lawsuit to demand the compensation?
Yes, sir.
We can cancel the contract and demand compensation...
through a civil suit,
and through a criminal suit,
we can report them for fraud and business obstruction.
I see.
What did my mother say?
She said...
things would come to an end very soon.
It's time to leave for your next appointment.
- Is that so? - Yes, sir.
In that case, please excuse us.
We have to be somewhere else.
Yes, sir.
I'll see you next time.
I'll see you next time. Thank you.
Thank you.
See you next time.
Thank you.
We should leave for our next appointment.
- Yes, sir. - Let's go.
(CEO Moon Jeong In)
Ms. Moon, you received a certified mail from Mr. Sato.
He'll initiate a lawsuit to demand the compensation.
What brings you here, honey?
I came to see Ju Ryun briefly, but she wasn't in the office.
Your daughter is unruly in every way possible.
Honey, did you tell Ju Ryun that I owe Lee Sun Ae money?
Yes, she was bound to find out.
She's not a kid.
She didn't need to know.
Oh, right. I just saw something interesting...
at the coffee shop just now.
What did you see?
Kim Seok Ki, Na Hyun Woo,
a middle-aged man, and a younger woman were together.
And the man and the woman seemed like Japanese people.
You saw Director Na and Seok Ki...
meeting with some Japanese people?
Yes, I'm telling you.
Look into it.
You can't trust anyone in this world.
Who is it this time?
Who is it?
It's me, Ju Ryun.
I came to talk to you.
Thanks for opening the door.
You reek of alcohol. Have you been drinking this early?
How much did you drink?
A little.
Be careful.
I'm sorry.
I somehow ended up drinking,
then I thought of you.
So, I came straight here.
You thought of me?
Seol Ah.
Honestly speaking, I understand you.
I know you want to get revenge out of resentment and spite.
I also know very well...
that Woo Jin is the trigger that sets your spite on fire.
But you know,
can you show your mercy just once?
Please show your mercy just this once. Please?
You can show mercy on my mom and dad, Seol Ah.
Please leave if you're here to talk nonsense under the influence.
Seol Ah.
Please sign with Jeongin Entertainment one last time.
If you really don't want to,
you can cancel the contract after the takeover. Isn't that so?
That was what you came up with?
Are you asking me to be a fraud?
Then, what about the buyer who got fooled by Ms. Moon...
and bought Jeongin Entertainment?
Well, that's none of my business.
I see. After all, you were the same.
You were just another fraud, just like your mom and dad.
Yes, I'm a fraud.
Then, what makes you so great?
You had that dead guy steal...
my ten-carat diamond ring.
Don't you dare talk about him like that.
Mr. Kwon is not someone you can speak so easily of,
Ju Ryun.
Do you know who killed him?
It had to be your mother, Moon Jeong In.
My mom?
Did you start writing novels, too?
Do you have evidence?
Just wait and see if you don't believe me.
I'll expose everything.
Here.
This is...
Take this ring.
You'll need it more...
if you're going around begging people to save your family.
Seol Ah.
Take it.
I thought your family needed money.
Why? Was your pride crushed?
No.
I won't thank you.
It was my ring anyway.
What about Woo Jin?
Will you give him back, too?
What?
Is that something you can't say?
Well,
Woo Jin is no longer mine, either.
My mom stole him from me.
Did anything happen while I was gone?
No, nothing, really.
I'm glad to hear that.
Hey, Kim Seok Ki.
Yes, Ms. Moon.
Have you met Mr. Sato behind my back?
Sorry?
Why did you meet him?
Are you a spy?
What do you mean, "a spy?"
It wasn't like that.
Otherwise, why did you meet him without reporting it to me first?
Don't try to deny it.
Someone saw you meeting with him.
Yes, I did.
I met him.
But the situation wasn't like anything you imagined.
Then, what was the reason?
I asked him to give us more time...
because we were persuading Ms. Park.
Do you expect me to believe you?
Technically speaking, Mr. Sato is a victim in this.
This wouldn't have happened if you didn't want so much money!
You lied and said we signed with the writer and the director...
to get more money for the business, then got us into this mess!
"This mess?"
Wait, so, are you saying this is my fault?
This is my fault?
I'm sorry.
Ms. Moon.
Please calm down.
Ms. Jung, what are you doing? Escort her back into her office.
Okay.
Ms. Moon, please calm down and get some rest in the office.
Let go of me!
The same applies to all of you.
If you speak of the takeover without my knowledge,
I will fire you!
Ms. Moon!
Good grief.
Is it finally my time to quit?
Yes, I should start searching job posting websites.
I think so, too.
Ms. Oh, let's go together if you find a good place.
Ms. Jung, I'm sorry,
but my hands are full.
I thought Ju Ryun was home.
Why isn't she here?
She had too much to drink, so she wanted to rest.
What? She drank in broad daylight?
Hey, you should've stopped her.
She chugged drinks into her mouth because she wanted to.
How was Woo Jin supposed to stop her?
Is that so?
Hey, Mr. Kwak. You were still at work?
This is bad, Mr. Chairman.
CEO Lee Sun Ae called and said she'd deposit a promissory note...
worth 110,000 dollars tomorrow morning.
What? That woman said she'd give me time for a while.
All right. Let's hang up for now.
That cursed woman!
Are you sure you're skipping dinner?
Should I ask Ms. Jang for some porridge?
I don't have an appetite.
Is that so?
So, who were you drinking with in broad daylight?
I just drank alone.
I was worried about business.
Both Mom and Dad haven't been doing well lately.
Things will be fine over time.
Get some rest, then.
Woo Jin.
Yes?
What's our relationship now?
What do you mean?
It's not over for me,
but it is for you, right?
It seems so.
I see.
Anyway,
I truly loved you.
I know. That's why I'm grateful...
and sorry.
I tried so hard to keep you with me.
But you probably can't even stand me now.
You're not my man anymore,
not even Seol Ah's man,
but my mom's man.
What?
You're Moon Jeong In's man.
Min Ju Ryun.
I know I'm right.
You're Moon Jeong In's man.
(Snow White's Revenge)
You reminded me...
of my first love, when I was much younger.
Did you mean the man I saw in that photo?
Darn it. You.
Hey, Lee Sun Ae.
Did you think you'd live after doing this?
You better be careful from now on, understand?
I got everything ready just as you wanted, sir.
Okay. Good job.
Then, has the time come?
It seems so.
