The fastest way to end this is a three-party talk.
Honey, say something and stop her from getting between us.
Do that, Gi Yun.
I'm curious to find out what you have to say.
Babe. Make it clear to that woman that you'll protect your family.
Only then will she come to her senses.
So say it to her face.
- I... - I feel bad for you, Gi Yun.
Isn't Jaclyn going this far because she doesn't trust you?
Little did I know that...
your wife treated you like a distrustful husband...
and that you led such a pitiful life.
Seo Hee Jae. You're turning me into a wicked woman...
who doesn't trust her own husband.
Am I wrong?
If I were you, I would trust him.
I would if I loved him.
Jaclyn. Guess what people told me.
"Gi Yun is a puppet boss being controlled..."
"by Jaclyn's money."
"Both WJ and his project..."
"are in the hands of Jaclyn."
Who told you such nonsense?
I don't believe a thing the others tell me.
But...
I feel really bad for you for living with a woman...
who doesn't trust her husband.
Shut your mouth at once!
What are you doing? Have you no class?
Control your temper, and don't resort to violence.
Stop, Jaclyn.
Stop what? I haven't done a thing.
And what about you?
She's insulting the both of us.
Do something about it!
I told you to stop, didn't I?
Jaclyn. I'll see you around.
- Stop right there, Seo Hee Jae! - Jaclyn.
Stop embarrassing me.
What? I'm embarrassing you?
Didn't I tell you to stop suspecting me?
I told you only a woman who trusts her husband is wife-worthy.
Must you go this far?
Why?
Why couldn't you tell Seo Hee Jae to quit dreaming...
because you would protect your family?
Couldn't you do that for me?
I'm getting sick of this.
This is the very reason people say I'm a puppet boss...
controlled by your money.
Don't think about leading me by your nose from now on.
"Sick of this?"
Did you really just say that?
How could you put it that way?
Jang Gi Yun and Jaclyn.
You two will continue to hurt and attack each other.
You hurt Jang Gi Yun's pride right in front of Jaclyn.
What's your next plan?
I made Jaclyn suspicious of Jang Gi Yun.
It's now Jang Gi Yun's turn to grow suspicious of her.
Jang Gi Yun will abandon Jaclyn...
as brutally as Shin Ju Kyung was abandoned.
I hope she comes to herself...
once he leaves her.
Do you think she'll realize his true colors...
as a man who only took advantage of her?
I don't care what happens to her after she's abandoned.
I'm only after Jang Gi Yun.
I'll take everything he has...
and watch him as he's utterly destroyed.
I will not show any mercy in my revenge.
I also want to see...
Jang Gi Yun's fall.
I'll share the specifics of the plan after filming Ye Kyung's video.
Okay.
Hyunta and everyone don't know...
that Ye Kyung passed away.
They find it odd that she's out of touch...
since she left for surgery in America.
No one can find out she died in my place.
I feel bad for everyone,
but they must all think...
Ye Kyung is alive until my revenge is over.
Yes. Let's get ready.
Ju Kyung.
The surgery went well. I'm now getting rehabilitation therapy.
I can replace my face with Ye Kyung's face...
by using Deepfake technology.
It's used by phishers to fool people.
That looks perfect.
I'll upload a recording of Ye Kyung's voice,
which will change the voice too.
Are you all doing well?
- You prepared this too? - I miss you all.
- You came ready for your revenge. - I couldn't reach out for a while.
Ju Kyung.
The surgery went well. I'm now getting rehabilitation therapy.
Mr. Na, Mr. Hwang,
Mi Rye, Woo Hyuk, and Hyunta.
Are you all doing well?
I miss you all.
I had to focus on the therapy, so I couldn't reach out for a while.
Stay healthy until the day I return.
Ye Kyung.
I will make sure...
I get the revenge...
for your wrongful death.
Are you all doing well?
I miss you all.
I had to focus on the therapy, so I couldn't reach out for a while.
Stay healthy until the day I return.
What is this?
She wouldn't pick up calls or video calls,
then only sent us this short video?
She must be busy focusing on her therapy.
She'll be tormented when she returns and finds out...
Ju Kyung has passed.
Shouldn't we tell her that Ju Kyung passed away?
With her last breath, Director Shin asked me...
not to tell her until the day she returns.
I miss Ju Kyung so much now that I see Ye Kyung.
Ju Kyung.
Ye Kyung sent us a video message.
Her surgery went well, and she's now in rehab therapy.
You'd be thrilled to see her...
walk again.
Then you'll show your big smile again.
Woo Hyuk.
I'll return after my revenge.
I'll go back and apologize.
I'll apologize for deceiving you...
and everyone else.
Ju Kyung, about Hee Jae.
Is it because she looks like her?
At times, I was confused because it felt like...
you came back alive.
Especially when she mentioned the things only you and I shared.
I find myself wondering...
if she's actually you.
I'm such a fool.
You've already passed away.
Hey, did Gi Yun and Jaclyn make up with one another?
The problem is Jaclyn.
She's too vicious and rude.
How can she be so arrogant and haughty,
although she gets to live with a perfect man like Gi Yun?
Goodness, how do you...
always blame your daughter-in-law for everything?
What about Ju Kyung? She wasn't arrogant at all,
but your son was the first to have an affair.
Young Ran.
She was nowhere near Gi Yun's level to begin with.
Hye Rim.
If your son means that much to you, so do other people's children.
Why do you reckon only your son is so precious and cherished?
Good grief.
What's wrong?
It's Woo Hyuk.
I've already become Seo Hee Jae,
but I kept letting my guard down when I was around him.
I made a mistake and mentioned the meal box he once made,
and he almost became suspicious.
You two were in love.
It'll be a matter of time before he finds out you're Ju Kyung.
He'll be the first to realize...
you're actually Shin Ju Kyung.
I must end my revenge quickly...
before he finds out who I am.
Gi Yun is having an affair?
How can he do that when he's with you?
He hasn't fallen completely.
But if this goes on,
he'll end up ruining the business and everything.
Who is this woman?
A woman named Seo Hee Jae, a cheeky woman...
who approached Gi Yun thanks to her rich dad in Japan.
Gi Yun and I always fight these days because of her.
Assemblyman Yang, you know how important our business is.
Yes, of course.
He never received fatherly love as he grew up,
and you became a father figure for him.
So make sure he understands he shouldn't go down...
a wrongful path.
I'm sure he'll listen to you.
Goodness, I already took some medicine.
Why is my stomach still in pain?
Do you feel unwell?
No, I'm okay...
My gosh!
Goodness, ma'am! What's wrong?
Ma'am!
Mom!
Jun Hee.
You must be in shock, Woo Hyuk.
What happened?
She suddenly collapsed in the office.
The doctor said she needed to get hospitalized for a few exams.
I told her to see a doctor for years...
after she began to say she had indigestion and stomachache,
but all she did was take digestive medicine.
I'm rather glad.
She needs to get examined and treated with this chance.
Uncle, had she been ill?
But I didn't know.
She wasn't the type who'd share her pain.
She hid it not to worry you, so of course, you didn't know.
I was such a bad son.
I didn't know she was so sick.
And she suffered so much to bring me up.
I'm sure she'll be fine, Woo Hyuk.
Yes, it's probably not a big deal.
Assemblyman Yang, why did you want to see me?
Jaclyn came to see me.
She did?
Did she tell you nonsense like I was in an affair?
If it's nonsense, I'll drop it.
She could've just let it go.
I can't believe she came to see you and blew this up.
She keeps doing these things without considering...
her husband's reputation. I'm slowly losing patience.
Gi Yun, I looked up her financial situation...
after you asked me.
She suffered from a huge loss after investing in cryptocurrency.
She invested in cryptocurrency without talking to me?
And we need more money to keep the VK Media business going.
I can't let Jaclyn waste her money like this.
If not for her money, Jaclyn is useless to you. No?
I must make all her money mine.
Even though Shin Ju Kyung is dead,
people still think I'm a puppet boss because of Jaclyn.
I can't overlook this matter.
Say that you do take all of Jaclyn's money.
Will she let go of you that easily?
If she doesn't,
I'll make her eventually do it.
Just like the dead Shin Ju Kyung.
Mom. Do you feel better?
Gosh. Where am I?
The hospital.
You passed out. This lady brought you to the hospital.
Good grief, you did?
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
How unwell are you to lose consciousness?
Why did you keep it from me?
Woo Hyuk. I'm not that sick.
It's simply chronic indigestion.
I feel better with some medicines.
Don't worry about me.
- Right. Let's go home. - Gosh.
No way.
Since you're already here, get a medical checkup.
Don't let it get worse. Get proper treatment, okay?
My indigestion doesn't need any treatment.
Gosh. Do as Woo Hyuk says, and stop worrying him.
Fine.
Mom. I'm your son.
Your pain, hardships, and happiness.
Tell me everything.
I will get mad at you if this happens again.
Goodness, got it.
Woo Hyuk. I should leave.
Mom. Let me see Director Seo off.
Okay. Go.
Please excuse me.
Okay. Be careful on your way.
Thank you for bringing my mom to the hospital.
Don't thank me. Anyone would've done the same.
Why are you so nice to me?
What? How am I nice to you?
You put me back in the drama I got kicked out of...
and helped me practice acting.
It's like you are the late Ju Kyung.
I know you're not Ju Kyung. You two are different people.
But it's as if I'm with her right now.
It must be because we are alike.
Ju Kyung and I.
- Right? - Yes.
And this isn't me being nice.
I'm just showing loyalty.
Loyal to my actor as a manager.
I'm sure others do the same.
Why are you so nice to me?
Well, I'm not being nice.
I'm just showing loyalty.
You'd do the same for me in a situation like this.
Ju Kyung?
Did you mistake me for her again?
You're hopeless.
I almost got busted.
Woo Hyuk.
Whenever I'm with you,
I forget that I'm Seo Hee Jae.
Good grief. The hospital bill won't be cheap.
Why are you worrying about the hospital bill?
Aren't you rich?
That money isn't mine.
It belongs to Woo Hyuk.
Quit your job as the building janitor.
You've worked hard enough for money and Woo Hyuk.
I'm healthy as a horse, so why should I quit working?
I should earn a penny more when I can for Woo Hyuk.
Isn't it about time Woo Hyuk knows about it?
The reason you're working your butt off for money.
The reason you hide Woo Hyuk from the others.
No.
I must take those secrets to my grave.
Woo Hyuk must not know about anything.
So don't ever bring that topic up again.
Woo Hyuk has the right to know.
What should I know about?
No, it's nothing.
Forget about it.
Now, this is suspicious.
You say it's nothing, while Uncle says to forget about it.
What is it? Tell me.
Well, your uncle...
told me to start dating.
He said the lack of love made me sick.
I wanted him to stop the nonsense.
So I lied that I was seeing someone.
But he kept asking who the guy was...
and saying you need to know, too.
Oh, so you were lying about seeing someone?
I fell for it completely.
Really. Your uncle...
is really silly.
Him telling you to date wasn't anything silly.
You're a beauty, Mom.
Mom. I want you to be loved...
by a really amazing guy.
Goodness. Woo Hyuk.
I only need you.
Gosh, that's being silly. Right, Uncle?
- Seriously. - Goodness.
I wonder who you will date.
Let's get on with the plan to make Jang Gi Yun...
suspect Jaclyn.
Call Jaclyn and find an excuse to spend time together.
I'll set a trap for Jang Gi Yun.
Understood.
Mr. Na.
Do you know why I will succeed...
in my revenge?
I know about Jang Gi Yun.
But Jang Gi Yun doesn't know that I'm Shin Ju Kyung.
I know my enemy.
But my enemy doesn't know me.
(Soro Gallery)
(Director Jaclyn Taylor)
What brings you here without notice?
How's Gi Yun doing?
Assemblyman Yang will make Gi Yun wake up and return to me...
from Seo Hee Jae.
Do you think Assemblyman Yang is on your side?
How can you trust one of Gi Yun's people?
I heard Seo Hee Jae on the phone with Jang Gi Yun.
They're meeting up tonight.
Where?
Where are the two meeting up?
(WJ Entertainment)
I apologize for last time.
I didn't expect Jaclyn to call you to the gallery.
Do you trust Jaclyn, Gi Yun?
I should trust her. She's my wife.
What was that chuckle for?
You're foolish and pitiful.
I'm foolish and pitiful?
I debated on whether to tell you this or not.
But I should.
Jaclyn is ready to stab you in the back.
But like a fool,
you trust such a woman.
Jaclyn is ready to stab me in the back?
I overheard Mr. Na and Jaclyn talking on the phone.
They went on about a secret ledger and a study.
Or something like that.
She asked to meet him to give him...
something important.
Where is it?
Where are Jaclyn and Na Seung Pil?
Is this where Jang Gi Yun and Seo Hee Jae are meeting up?
What's taking them so long?
They should come any minute.
Those scumbags. I will kill them.
Jang Gi Yun and Seo Hee Jae.
I will make both of them drop to their knees...
and beg for my forgiveness.
Jaclyn. Why didn't you beg for forgiveness?
When you had an affair with Gi Yun,
you didn't apologize to Shin Ju Kyung.
Don't bring up that dead wench. It spoils the mood.
Leave if you're going to annoy me.
This is the place. Excuse me first.
All right. Bye.
(Jaclyn)
Yes, Jaclyn?
- Where are you? - At the office.
What about you?
I'm still at the gallery. I'm swamped with work.
I see. So you're still at the gallery.
Got it.
Is Jaclyn at the gallery?
She must've deceived you with so many lies until this day.
I wonder.
She had deceived me like this...
to communicate secretly with Na Seung Pil.
Excuse me.
Gi Yun says he's still in the office.
How will his despicable face change...
when I catch him with Seo Hee Jae?
Gi Yun is here.
I'm sure Seo Hee Jae will show up soon.
Why is he coming this way?
Jaclyn.
How is this the gallery?
Honey.
Na Seung Pil.
What did she give you?
What are you talking about?
Then let me ask you, Jaclyn.
Jaclyn.
What did you give him?
Give him what?
You snuck into my study and took something like a rat.
What have you been scheming with him...
behind my back?
What are you talking about?
I had been waiting here because I heard...
you were meeting Seo Hee Jae here.
Jaclyn, you are...
impossible.
Honey.
You can't leave like this.
Do not touch me with your filthy hand.
Jaclyn, are you okay?
What's happening?
You said Seo Hee Jae would be here!
I clearly heard her on the phone with him.
Wait, did she...
set up a trap to make Gi Yun see...
you and me?
Is that so?
Jaclyn.
It's a shame to know you're on Na Seung Pil's side,
but to me,
this is a great chance to take...
your entire fortune.
You're still here?
I thought you could use a friend to drink with.
It was as you said.
I was a pitiful...
and a foolish man.
I had no idea Jaclyn was in league with Na Seung Pil.
Stay strong. I'm here for you.
She would've played me for life...
if it hadn't been for you.
I would've been...
more pitiful...
and foolish if it hadn't been for you.
If it hadn't been for you.
If it hadn't been for you...
If it hadn't been...
for you.
Jang Gi Yun.
It's not so much fun to see you break down this easily.
Gi Yun isn't home yet?
No, and he won't pick up his phone either. I'm so worried.
Did you two have another fight?
A fight?
I'm the only one suffering.
Goodness, Gi Yun. Why did you have so much to drink?
Please excuse my discourtesy at such a late hour, ma'am.
Gi Yun got drunk.
Thank you.
Did you do this?
Or were you and Gi Yun in this together?
What do you mean?
Otherwise, why were you with my husband until this hour?
Jaclyn, it's late.
Let the guest go home and move Gi Yun to the bedroom.
Get lost.
Honey, get up. Hey.
Seo Hee Jae.
Gi Yun, have you lost your mind?
Seo Hee Jae.
Gi Yun, I'm here.
Seo Hee Jae.
Gi Yun, stop saying my name.
Seo Hee Jae.
(The Elegant Empire)
Don't forget. Eun Ha and Ju Kyung were both abandoned...
after Gi Yun took advantage of them.
You're next.
The clever and sly Gi Yun...
won't lose a chance like this.
He'll demand Jaclyn's entire fortune.
I'll snatch it first...
before Gi Yun takes her fortune.
