(Episode 20)
I'll make it up to you somehow.
Will you...
let this go?
Why would the CEO do that?
- What did I do? - It wasn't because of you.
It was because of me.
What are they talking about?
This is so frustrating.
My mother and I...
We're not the typical mother and son.
We're a bit different.
How different could you be?
What mother makes up a son's scandal...
and then puts the blame on someone like me?
Do you think that makes sense?
I know very well that it doesn't.
That's why I'm asking you for a favor.
If you bow and ask for a favor, do I have to go for it?
A man almost died because of your great mother-son relationship.
I don't know what's going on,
but if you must fight, fight alone at home.
Don't toy with your innocent employees.
If you go any further, you'll get hurt.
Let's end it.
Let go of her if you want to talk!
What's he saying now?
What did he come here to interfere with?
Let's go.
Where are you going? Didn't you come to find Lee Doo Hyuk?
Brother Yong!
Why are you leaving?
What did he want?
It's getting late. Let's go.
What did you two talk about?
Sorry, but can we just go?
But...
What on earth is going on?
Can you not go too far?
Didn't you hear me?
Here's a warning.
Don't butt in.
This is between Yong Su Jeong and me.
I think I'm already too much involved for that.
Here's a warning from me.
Why don't you do some good for our country's economy?
What kind of rich heir follows people all over the place?
- Goodness. - Hey, you.
Yes, me. What do you want?
Don't let me see you again.
My patient has limits.
That's what I want to say to you.
I really hope I never see you again.
Brother Yong! Wait up!
Come see me.
(Director Joo Woo Jin)
Yong Su Jeong left.
I'm sure you heard already.
Yes. I got the call.
You didn't have to get involved.
Then she'd have gotten hurt.
I won't repeat myself.
Don't go after Yong Su Jeong again.
Not just her. No one can get hurt.
Well...
I really don't get why you're doing this.
I'm doing this for Ms. Min and you.
I know you work hard for my family.
And that my mother favors you.
But do not move secretly in the background anymore.
Do you understand?
Yes. I understand.
The little boy's way too arrogant.
Hello. It's me.
How did Woo Jin know where to go?
What's clear is that he has been watching us.
He just warned me to leave Yong Su Jeong alone.
Ms. Min. I can't reach the director.
Will you cancel this meeting?
Apologize to the guests for me.
Okay.
Why won't you tell me?
What about tomorrow's hearing? Are you going to give up?
I haven't decided yet.
Then you might give up?
My gosh.
Is it because of the director?
What did he say?
Little brother. I have a huge headache.
Can't you leave me alone?
I'm so darn frustrated!
You're acting like you're giving up without explaining why!
Darn it. Whatever!
I'm home.
Thanks for your help, Mr. Yong.
You needn't thank me. It was my pleasure.
You came in just at the right time.
Two birds with one stone. Great timing.
Mom, did you get home okay with Mr. Yong?
How's your ankle?
It's okay.
I'm not hungry.
What's up with her? Is something wrong?
It must be about tomorrow.
The darn second hearing is giving her such a hard time.
Even if you have a lot to do and you're tired, you should still eat.
You need the energy to do something.
I'll eat later if I get hungry at night.
Don't try too hard.
I didn't like your job because you were on TV.
I liked it because it was your job.
Parents love their kids even when they poop.
Take the opportunity to look far ahead and think.
You only have one life. Don't grovel and be cheap.
Whatever you do, follow your heart.
Enjoy yourself.
Dad.
Whatever you choose, Su Jeong,
it's always the right decision.
Why did she bother calling me?
She called me over then talked among themselves.
Why can't she tell me anything?
Are they actually dating?
- Eui Ju. - Mom.
Here.
Why are you giving me candy?
Give it to the kid if you see her again.
Joo Woo Jin's daughter?
Mom. They have loads of this at home.
She said she couldn't sleep at night.
She even had a nosebleed.
- I feel bad for her. - Mom.
The kid you should worry about isn't her but me.
Eui Ju is...
Whatever. I'll eat it all.
Eui Ju!
Did you see the doctor?
I heard your great-grandma took you.
Yes. I had a nosebleed.
I heard.
Are you okay now?
I need to give back Ms. Soy Sauce's handkerchief.
Ms. Soy Sauce? Who's that?
We met her at the temple last time.
You scolded me for tasting the soy sauce.
Did I?
She gave me candy. She's a nice lady.
I'll take you to the doctor next time.
So I can meet Ms. Soy Sauce.
Okay.
Mr. Jang filled me in.
Why did you go to that hospital?
- Let's do this later. - We have a lot to take care of.
Why are you wasting your energy?
You missed a meeting with an investor.
Don't you care about the project?
I don't think her hearing should be your priority.
What if you get distracted and the investment MOU falls through?
You should sort out the important task that's right before you, sir.
Was Choi Hye Ra involved in Lee Doo Hyuk's accident?
What are you on about?
I hope you didn't drag her into it.
Ms. Yong thinks Hye Ra is behind everything.
I told you before.
That will be the last time I obey you.
- Joo Woo Jin. - I'll handle it.
I'll make sure you don't suffer.
Don't do anything from now on.
What's clear is that he has been watching us.
It's me.
The guy from the Security Office.
Do you know who got him out right before his accident?
Keep a close eye on Choi Hye Ra.
Why won't you pick up?
Joo Woo Jin. Did you miss the meeting to help Yong Su Jeong?
You can't be that crazy.
The person is unable to answer the phone.
My gosh.
What a waste.
Choi Hye Ra!
Would you feel better if I died of a heart attack?
I said I didn't want this stuff.
Don't you care what I say?
Wipe it up right away.
You evil brat.
My gosh. How many pouches of lettuce extract does she need...
to change her ways and become calmer?
This is so upsetting.
(Payslip, January 2023)
Let's end it.
What am I to do if he looks at me like that?
Darn it.
Goodness.
(Welcome All Guest House)
Oh, gosh.
You didn't leave for work?
Were you waiting here for me?
Why would I wait for you? Just take this.
What's this? Are you trying to mess with me?
I'm wishing you luck at today's hearing.
I hope you get your job back.
Okay, then. Thanks.
Yesterday, you looked like you'd given up.
Don't care what others say and do what you want.
Follow your heart. Okay?
Okay.
Goodness.
Director Joo's in charge of the second hearing?
What if he lets Yong Su Jeong come back?
I asked you to get involved in case this happened.
Ms. Choi?
Sorry. I was shocked, that's all.
I think letting Yong Su Jeong return...
isn't too bad as a worst-case scenario.
I'm more curious about what you're after.
Why is her coming back such a big deal?
You know how big a loss she caused...
the company.
You don't need to give me that excuse too.
Are you wary of her for fear that Woo Jin will start to care about her?
To be honest, I am bothered.
Aren't you too?
Why would I be bothered about something that silly?
I might be if she were someone like you.
Don't get your hopes up, though.
I'm only commenting on your performance.
You might not be able to help me,
but I need someone who can assist Woo Jin.
Were you the one who smuggled out Lee Doo Hyuk?
If that were so, I think highly of your competence.
Ms. Min acknowledged me.
I just need to get rid of Yong Su Jeong and win over Woo Jin.
Today's the day.
Are you well-prepared?
I'm glad we met.
I had something to say.
Ms. Choi. However much you deny it,
and even if you say someone else was behind it,
you know you're partially responsible for Lee Doo Hyuk's accident, right?
Why are you harassing me now?
Is this your last effort at a fight?
Not at all. It's just the beginning.
Wait and see. I'll expose everything.
Anyone can say what they want to do.
You just have to live in a world of anxiety...
until I reveal the truth.
Here's some taffy.
I hope it messes you up.
(Meeting Room)
Su Jeong was a no-show?
Yes, according to HR.
What happened? She'd never do that.
Pick up, Yong Su Jeong.
What are you up to?
It was her last effort at a fight.
Yong Su Jeong.
Why speak so bravely when you don't have the guts?
You got her to give up?
Not bad, son.
Yes. I'll do as Dad said and look far ahead and wide.
I won't cling to a helpless cause...
or let nasty people fling me around.
I'll go my own way.
Wait and see.
I'm Yong Su Jeong!
(Director's Office)
Not knowing that you had a plan in motion,
I got worried and nagged you.
I don't want to talk about it again.
Okay. Let's take this as an opportunity to learn to trust each other more.
Free up your evening. Let's have dinner with Ms. Choi.
Let's do that another day.
You missed yesterday's meeting,
but she managed to talk them into signing a deal anyway.
That's not how you use someone.
You need to placate them and sweeten them up too.
I'll see you later.
You're back already?
Is the hearing over?
- I guess? - You guess?
What does that mean? We're not talking about someone else.
Perhaps I should actually give that a go.
(Lose the most body fat in 30 days for prize money and a photo shoot!)
It didn't work out?
I didn't even attend.
You didn't attend?
Did something happen?
I just made up my mind.
It's all over.
I have no regrets, and I feel relieved.
I'll wipe the electric fans in the locker room.
It's getting quite hot out.
What on earth did Joo Woo Jin do...
that Brother Yong's like a deflated balloon?
Goodness.
(Director Joo Woo Jin)
I got a nice hand.
Why are you home so early?
I just dropped by. Mom. Where's the painting?
What painting?
You know, Moon Su Jeong's mom's painting.
Why are you asking about that?
Because I need it. Where is it?
My goodness.
Isn't this Lee Je In's work?
You can't get it even for a fortune.
How do you have it?
I knew you'd recognize it.
My mom's into art.
She has been collecting for a long time, and she has a large collection.
I grew up around art and am used to it.
I didn't know you liked art.
Why are you giving me something this valuable?
What with the MS Project and Yong Su Jeong,
all our problems were solved in an instant.
I wanted to celebrate with you.
You played a huge role in that project.
I won't forget what you did.
I'm honored I could help somehow.
It's such a precious piece, I'm not sure I can accept it.
I respect you so much and if you were to cherish it,
nothing would make me happier.
You say the sweetest things.
Is Director Joo running late?
I don't know. Give him a call.
Okay.
He's not answering? Is he busy?
The person is unable to answer the phone.
Why don't we have dinner without him, then?
Let's have something nice with a glass of wine too. How's that?
That sounds good.
I love this so much. My gosh.
Why didn't you attend the hearing?
I got you a taffy to wish you luck.
You told me to follow my heart.
At that moment, that's what my heart said.
Can you stop asking me about that now?
- Brother Yong. - Let's go inside. I'm hungry.
(Yong Su Jeong)
You're back at last.
Why are you here this late?
You didn't show up yesterday and then again today.
Is that your specialty?
You're drunk.
Get in. I'll drop you off.
What are you so displeased with that you keep avoiding me?
The circumstances weren't ideal.
Why not?
Because of Yong Su Jeong?
Let me ask you something.
What's your relationship with Lee Doo Hyuk?
That darn Lee Doo Hyuk!
Why should I know someone like him?
Did Su Jeong say something?
Why do you believe her and not me?
I've known you much longer.
Why don't you believe me when I say no...
and take what Su Jeong says for the truth?
Keep it down.
Do you know how hard I worked to get your project off the ground?
Did you ever thank me for it?
I expected something tonight.
Ms. Min acknowledged my efforts and offered to buy me dinner,
I was on cloud nine.
How could you crush me on a day like this?
I don't know anything about Lee Doo Hyuk.
I just...
want to be with you.
You'll come to me eventually.
So don't hurt me like this.
Choi Hye Ra.
I'll never give up.
Don't push me away.
That will do.
Good job.
Bye.
Ms. Choi gifted you that painting?
She said it was lying about at home. There's no reason to refuse a gift.
You must like it a lot if you put it up right away.
It's not an ordinary painting.
The artist became famous after her death,
and she didn't leave that many paintings.
I should have the team strengthen office security.
In exchange for that,
she might expect your help to seduce Director Joo.
How dare she?
Get me the proof that Choi Hye Ra smuggled out Lee Doo Hyuk.
I just love this.
Two.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
She's the icon of goodwill who practices noblesse oblige...
and is also known for her business acumen.
A leader everyone wants to be like and a role model for young women.
Today I'll interview Masung Group CEO Min Kyung Hwa.
Hello.
Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you.
I interviewed you five years ago.
You haven't changed at all.
You look even younger.
They say you've aged if you're pleased when someone says you look young.
But what can I say? I'm so very pleased.
Why would such a great woman humiliate her own son?
Not many daughters-in-law get involved in the family business.
The most they usually do is assist their husbands.
If you think about it, money is the best thing to work with.
Following the flow of money is...
Brother Yong. Let's continue after lunch or you'll pass out.
Where are you going?
"A Little Princess."
"A Little Princess?"
A little princess. That's you, Su Jeong.
Su Jeong.
Mom!
Mom...
I'm sorry. Mom.
Mom.
It's my mom's painting. Her painting of me.
I need to know why that painting is here.
I must see for myself.
(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)
I just need to see how "A Little Princess" is written.
You'll sneak in pretending to be a cleaner to see the painting?
I hope I could be of some help.
Who on earth is Lee Young Ae?
Darn Lee Young Ae.
Lee Young Ae?
Why? What is it, Mom?
I caught her sneaking into your office in the evening.
What shall I do?
Hey. Shouldn't you apologize?
