(Episode 10)
You can't go.
I'm not here to ask a favor.
I'm making a proposal.
What kind of proposal can someone like you make?
I will use my pregnancy as an excuse and tell Father...
I will take a break from the company.
Then, you will be in charge of the company...
and naturally become the chairman.
- I will become the chairman? - That's right.
You will become the chairman as you wish,
and I will protect the family as I wish.
Isn't this a proposal you're satisfied with?
All right. I will accept that proposal.
Keep your promise.
You are to quit the company at once.
I will.
Oh, right. About Jaclyn.
We're nothing but business partners.
Don't worry about her.
I'm sorry, Jaclyn.
I can't make it today.
Jang Gi Yun.
How dare you not come when I told you to?
How dare you...
turn me down?
Father. I'm pregnant.
Really?
Yes.
Congratulations.
I will wrap up the foundation day,
complete the handover within two months,
and take a break from work.
What? You'll take a break from work?
I'm sorry. Please take care of my load.
Gosh. It's a shame that you'll quit the company.
But since it's for our baby,
it can't be helped.
Your pregnancy is happy news.
But I wonder if it's okay for you to leave the company.
Gi Yun will do a fine job.
Have faith and leave it to him.
She's right, Dad. Trust me and leave the company to me,
and I won't let you down.
You confirmed my sincerity, right?
That our family is my top priority.
Not yet.
Only when I become the chairman...
and the real owner of the company...
will your sincerity be proven.
Until then, I can't trust you.
After all, you're cunning and wicked.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Goodness.
Ms. Shin must've stayed all night at the shoot and couldn't go home.
"This life is a mess."
"It's pitch black."
"Still, I will be with you."
Jung Woo Hyuk.
Why do you memorize the scripts of works you're not in?
I know, right?
More than memorizing the scripts, he's devouring them.
You never know. I might be cast as one of the passersby.
And even if I'm one of the passersby,
it's nice to know the story and why I'm passing by in advance.
Hey.
- Good morning. - Morning.
Good morning, Director Shin.
Hey, punk. Can't you see me, the president?
Is she the only visible one here?
That's right.
"That's right?"
Did you just say, "That's right?"
You're the one who didn't keep your manners to me first.
"Hey, punk?"
Why would you call someone "punk" in the face?
It's obnoxious to the one you're calling.
What's more, I treat the same way the other person treats me.
Isn't that being fair?
What? This jerk...
Look at him. He's teaching Gi Yun a lesson.
President Jang.
Unless you want someone like me to look down on you,
have a personality others can respect as a higher-up.
Keep acting up, and I'll kill you.
Hold back, President Jang.
I'll give him a good scolding.
Right.
Gosh. Today will be the last day, the very last day,
I overlook your bad manners.
I will keep an eye on how you behave...
- from now on. - Got it.
Keep your eyes on me.
I will keep my eyes on you, too.
Let's behave well, okay?
Keep your class in front of the workers.
You will soon become the chairman.
All right. Get to work. Work, okay?
Oh, my gosh.
You're a total wacko, aren't you?
It's exciting how you're unpredictable.
Jung Woo Hyuk. We need to talk.
Okay.
(WJ Entertainment)
I dread seeing that rude jerk! He's driving me insane!
You, nobody,
will be the first to go as soon as I become chairman.
Woo Hyuk.
You shouldn't talk like that to the president.
After all, he owns the agency.
He may seem curt, but you'll soon find out he's a good guy.
Ju Kyung, that man is clinically mentally ill.
If you let him do that, he'll get worse.
That jerk is accustomed to looking down on others.
I hope you get along with him without standing up against him.
No.
And don't cover for him blindly just because he's the president.
He's my husband.
Wait, really?
So from now on, don't fight him and get along.
Wait, how did someone like you end up with a yahoo like...
That again. Don't call my husband a yahoo.
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
They're two completely different types of people.
Directors, I'm sorry. I'm a little late.
Why are you all here?
The chairman will tell you later.
If we're all here, let's go inside.
Gosh!
What? Why are Attorney Kwon and the directors here?
(Chairman Jang Chang Sung)
Finally,
my name will be engraved on this nameplate.
(WJ Entertainment)
(Chairman Jang Chang Sung)
Chairman Jang Gi Yun?
Chairman Jang Gi Yun.
Chairman...
Jang Gi Yun!
It is I, Jang Gi Yun.
Woo Hyuk, let's go take your headshot.
Okay.
Right.
I forgot to make one announcement this morning.
Director Shin Ju Kyung will quit her job...
for personal reasons.
Yes, it's a shame for me too.
Please follow her orders for a smooth takeover,
and do your best for the upcoming foundation anniversary.
Let's have another great day.
Ju Kyung, what's going on?
Why are you suddenly quitting?
We'll talk at home.
Ms. Shin, you can't quit.
Our business revolves around you.
What are we going to do if you suddenly quit?
I'm sorry. Things happened.
Woo Hyuk, let's go.
Kiddo, let's go.
Why is Jang Gi Yun so quiet?
- Should I call him? - No.
Wait until he bites the bait.
It's Jang Gi Yun.
See? He bit the bait.
Hello?
Let's meet now. I'm in front of your door.
In front of my door?
Where are your manners, Mr. Jang?
You canceled on me yesterday without asking,
and today, you came without calling.
Some call that boldness, which is a much better word.
May I come in?
Let's go see the site for your business first...
instead of talking over pieces of paper...
and wasting our time.
I knew it. I love how assertive you are.
Let's go.
Why do you do this to me?
What did I do?
I hear it's the agency's custom for you, the director,
to manage all new actors once you sign with them.
Why are you suddenly quitting before the year ends for me?
Isn't this irresponsible?
I feel sorry for you.
But I suddenly have a more important responsibility than you.
What is it?
I'm pregnant.
I want to take some time off for my unborn baby.
Right. Congrats.
Then I shouldn't complain.
I see. Pregnancy.
(Calls)
(Gi Yun)
(Shin Ju Kyung)
Honey, where are you?
I'm going somewhere. What?
By any chance,
are you with that woman right now?
How are you this low?
Are you still suspicious of me?
I'm going somewhere with Assemblyman Yang. What now?
Bye.
That sounded like your wife.
- Why did you pick up like that? - Gosh.
Nothing was great or noteworthy about that woman,
so her kindness was the only reason I married her.
But she's been acting up lately, out of her place.
There's no talking to that tacky woman,
and she's so creepy that I'm fed up with her.
It's embarrassing to go out and call her my wife.
If I hadn't been married,
I would've made you my woman, Jaclyn,
who makes a man stand out.
It's rather flattering...
to hear such a compliment from a decent man like you.
Oh. my. What are you going to do?
I don't think you hung up.
What if your wife heard you?
It doesn't matter.
She's an orphan,
so she dreads breaking up her family.
Her husband and children mean the world to her.
She'd probably look the other way...
even if I went out and started a second family.
She also gained unimaginable wealth and fame after marrying me.
She's not stupid enough to throw all that out.
(Shin Ju Kyung)
Ju Kyung, what's wrong?
Ju Kyung!
What? Right.
What are they saying? I can't hear a word.
What are they up to?
- Goodness! - What's going on?
Ms. Hong.
What are you doing here?
Your meeting seemed to take a long time,
so I was wondering if I should prepare lunch.
Will you all eat lunch here?
What's wrong? Do you feel unwell?
Give me a minute.
There's no talking to that tacky woman,
and she's so creepy that I'm fed up with her.
It's embarrassing to go out and call her my wife.
Oh. my. What are you going to do?
I don't think you hung up.
What if your wife heard you?
It doesn't matter.
She's an orphan,
so she dreads breaking up her family.
Her husband and children mean the world to her.
She'd probably look the other way...
even if I went out and started a second family.
What's wrong, Ju Kyung?
She also gained unimaginable wealth and fame after marrying me.
She's not stupid enough to throw all that out.
Ju Kyung.
Ju Kyung!
Wake up, Ju Kyung. Ju Kyung!
From here to over there.
A total of 11,748,000m².
It's four times the size of Yeouido.
I have to buy this idle land from the local university.
The district really tried its best.
Say that I participate in this business.
I can start by investing...
in the initial cost of purchasing this land.
Well, of course, I must decide after calculating how much benefit...
I will get from this business.
Jaclyn. I like...
how we're on the same wavelength.
Did your wife agree to this business you're proceeding with?
The rumors had it that your wife had the final say...
on all the businesses in the company.
That's nonsense.
Those are just rumors based on my father's extreme trust in her.
You must be a lonely man, Gi Yun.
What does that mean?
You're not on good terms with your wife.
And your father doesn't trust you.
When I failed to place first in the whole school,
my dad didn't treat me like a human being.
He whipped me like mad.
Because I couldn't get acknowledged by him,
I felt abandoned.
If they're not good parents to you,
you don't have to be a good son.
Bad unqualified parents...
deserve to be thrown away by their kids.
You're up?
The doctor said that you showed...
symptoms of severe stress and overwork.
And that you and the baby will fall in danger...
if you're not careful in early pregnancy.
Do you know how worried I was, thinking something might go wrong?
I'm sorry I made you worry.
Pick whatever you'd like.
I didn't know your taste, so I bought a variety.
I'm not hungry.
Even so, you should eat for the baby.
Now then. Porridge, sushi, tiramisu,
banana, or milk.
Good greif.
Here.
Is your husband upsetting you?
It's nothing like that.
I'm right.
No wonder. A pregnant woman wouldn't cry her eyes out...
in the middle of the road if it weren't for her husband.
If that guy acts up, tell me.
I'll punch him in your stead.
Whoever troubles you and gives you a hard time,
I will teach them a lesson.
How reliable.
Why does my heart hurt so much?
It's my first time seeing Ju Kyung's sad face.
Why does it break my heart so much?
Some wine?
Aren't you tired? Get some sleep.
I'm going to look at the garden.
Go ahead.
You're pregnant? That's great news!
Soo A won't be lonely with a sibling.
Right, Soo A?
Yes, Auntie. I will carry my baby sibling on my back.
Now that you're quitting the company,
Gi Yun will finally be able to relax at work.
Ju Kyung. That birthmark of yours.
It bugs me the more I see it. Can't you do something about it?
Ju Kyung needs to get a skin graft.
But constitutionally, she'll be in danger if she bleeds too much.
Good gracious.
What a peculiar constitution. It won't let you have surgery.
Does that mean you'll have to live like a spotted puppy all your life?
Just risk your life and get that surgery.
What will you do if Gi Yun can't settle his entire life...
because of that face of yours?
Mother. How can you say spotted puppy?
Soo A's here with us. That was too harsh of you.
What?
Sorry, Soo A.
Oh, right. That birthmark isn't hereditary, is it?
Our beautiful Soo A's face...
won't turn into a spotted puppy's, will it?
Mother!
Sorry. Double sorry.
No!
Everything I experienced...
in the unfamiliar country I was adopted to...
was a nightmare.
I was young and alone.
My life was a fiery pit.
Jang Gi Yun.
Just like me,
were you raised without love?
Jaclyn.
I want you.
Not yet.
It's too early.
Let's go.
Welcome home.
Look at me for a second, honey.
What is it?
What?
You! Are you mad?
Because I'm an orphan,
the thought of my family breaking apart dreads me the most.
Because you and our children mean the world to me,
I will look the other way even if you start a second family.
And I will not give up on the wealth and fame you gave me.
So you heard everything.
Didn't you say all that for me to hear without hanging up?
Even if you're talking to a wall, even if I'm tacky,
and even if I make you feel fed up, just stay by my side quietly!
If anyone demands a divorce, it'll be me!
If anyone leaves the other, it'll be me.
I'm going to start thinking after I have this baby.
I'll let you off until then.
As you wish.
(WJ Entertainment's 21st Commemoration Ceremony)
Gosh.
Goodness. My gosh. This fit me until last year.
Did I put on some weight?
Is that the only dress you have?
Didn't you wear that last year?
My goodness.
Try giving me some money for clothes before you say that.
Look at these. Hey.
Do you think you're a celebrity?
I have barely any clothes.
Everything else is yours!
I had to find you something new and trendy for every election.
I never got my own clothes even though I was an actor!
Goodness. My gosh.
Goodness.
Gosh.
This bow tie is making me cry. Why won't this stay?
It's crooked.
Goodness. Let me see it.
What?
Let me see.
It won't work.
My neck! Ouch! That hurts!
That woman must be crazy. That stings.
That's what you get for never buying me clothes.
Goodness. That woman is impossible.
That little... Darn it.
(WJ Entertainment's 21st Commemoration Ceremony)
Soo A, is it good?
(WJ Entertainment's 21st Commemoration Ceremony)
Why is that woman here?
I invited her.
Welcome.
Director Shin?
She's an investor in our VK Media project,
Jaclyn Taylor.
Nice to meet you. I'm Jaclyn.
My husband told me a lot about you.
Thank you for coming.
(WJ Entertainment's 21st Commemoration Ceremony)
Dad!
Dad, you never said...
you were coming.
I left the chairman's office vacant for too long,
so I called the directors for an extraordinary meeting.
I came here today to announce the new chairman.
The new chairman?
Yes.
One second.
(WJ Entertainment's 21st Commemoration Ceremony)
Everyone.
Chairman Jang Chang Sung,
the founder and chair of WJ Entertainment,
would like to announce the new chairman...
who will take charge of the future of our agency.
Excuse me, Dad. Please make the announcement.
As of today,
the new chairperson who will take charge of WJ Entertainment is...
Director Shin Ju Kyung.
I announce her recommendation and appointment...
by the board of directors.
(The Elegant Empire)
You brought my guard down and said you'd let me be the chairman.
It's all Ju Kyung's fault.
I shouldn't have married her.
Jang Gi Yun must be utterly heartbroken.
Isn't this the perfect time to go after his heart?
How should I handle you from now on?
Jaclyn will become mine today.
