recap
Oh, my. Gi Yun.
Why are you coming out from your study?
Are you two sleeping in separate rooms?
It just happened.
Don't they say a couple sleeping separately means there's no return?
My poor baby.
You can't even get decent sleep.
Look at what you're going through.
Jaclyn, that wicked wench. All she does is show off her money.
Mom. Let me take a shower and get ready for work.
Okay. Go ahead.
Jaclyn. What on earth did you do?
Gi Yun slept in a different room.
Why must my son sleep all crammed in the study?
Mother. Stop nagging at me. I did nothing wrong.
Educate your son well.
What was that?
Hee Jae is having an affair with Gi Yun,
frequenting this house.
And you know that.
You know, and yet you're playing possum. No?
Good gracious. How lowly.
Do you think Gi Yun is like you?
You who meet with Na Seung Pil behind her husband's back?
My gosh. Is that all you can think about?
Na Seung Pil and I have nothing going on.
How am I supposed to believe that?
This is all because of Seo Hee Jae.
Everything has become a mess ever since she appeared.
What happened back at Jang Gi Yun's place?
As we expected, Jaclyn saw Gi Yun and me all alone.
Blinded by jealousy,
Jaclyn went wild. It was quite a sight.
What's more, Gi Yun slapped Jaclyn across the face.
Jang Gi Yun that crazy...
How could he hit a woman?
I simply returned the favor.
I will continue to return the favor...
and squeeze Gi Yun by the throat.
I will slowly destroy him.

(Yoon Ji Tae, WJ Entertainment, Oh Na Hee)
Jaclyn was very rude last night, wasn't she?
I'm sorry.
I don't blame your wife for misunderstanding the situation.
Why don't we have a cup of tea together?
I'm confused.
My business is thriving.
Nothing can be better than this.
But your appearance...
messed everything up.
Gi Yun. Let me ask a question to clear up my confusion.
What...
are we?
I asked something you couldn't easily answer.
I must end it one way or another.
Seo Hee Jae. Jaclyn.
I must end it with one of them.
This can't keep going on.
Seo Hee Jae!
What?
Where's Hee Jae?
Why are you looking for her?
Yesterday, Hee Jae tried to spend the night with Gi Yun...
while I was away on a business trip.
Director Seo was with Gi Yun last night?
Wait. Director Seo was with Gi Yun?
What's with this sudden progress?
Do you all know that Seo Hee Jae acts all refined...
but is a despicable woman...
hitting on a married man behind everyone's back?
Don't make up nonsense to humiliate Director Seo. Just leave.
Nobody here believes you.
Jaclyn. This is Director Seo's workplace.
Don't put her in a spot because of your personal feelings.
She must be humiliated.
She's a filthy adulteress.
Na Seung Pil.
Fire Seo Hee Jae if you don't want to bring shame to your agency.
Jaclyn!
Woo Hyuk. She must be lying.
I doubt Director Seo has feelings for Gi Yun...
or something like that.
Right. I'm sure Jaclyn was talking rubbish.
Seriously.
Jaclyn. If you're angry that Gi Yun is wavering because of Director Seo,
take it out on Gi Yun.
Even if you're anxious Hee Jae might take Gi Yun,
don't cross the line.
You think I'll let her take Gi Yun?
Jaclyn.
I don't want you to get thrown away by Gi Yun...
and break down...
like your older sister Eun Ha.
If that happens to you,
I will have no face to show Eun Ha in paradise.
Before Gi Yun throws you away,
throw him away first.
Don't bring up Eun Ha.
I don't have a mom.
And since I don't have a mom, I don't have a sister either.
Why are you looking for her?
Yesterday, Hee Jae tried to spend the night with Gi Yun...
while I was away on a business trip.
Hee Jae, you wouldn't do that.
I trust you.
I just came back after seeing Jang Gi Yun.
I think I'll have him in the palm of my hand soon.
It won't be easy to abandon Jaclyn because of his business,
but in the end, things will go according to our plan.
Jaclyn came by.
She told everyone you were with him last night...
and even called you an adulteress.
She must've been dying to humiliate me...
before everyone.
Thankfully, no one trusted her.
But Woo Hyuk seemed shaken when he found out...
you lied about the meeting to go see Jang Gi Yun.
My heart breaks whenever I think of him.
I'll continue...
to sin against him until the day I get my revenge.
Woo Hyuk.
I'm sorry.
I lied about a meeting and went to see Jang Gi Yun...
I trust you.
I'm sure you had a reason if you had to lie to me.
And if you saw Jang Gi Yun without telling me,
you must have had a good reason.
You don't have to explain it to me...
and don't be sorry either.
I'm always on your side, and I trust you.
Woo Hyuk.
I'm sorry.
I must continue to deceive you...
and seduce Jang Gi Yun.
I feel bad for you,
but I must return to Soo A's side as soon as possible.
(Soro Gallery)
How am I going to pull Seo Hee Jae away from Gi Yun?
Seo Hee Jae, that absurd woman.
I thought she was the heiress of a Japanese mogul.
Hasn't she got a better thing to do than go after someone else's man?
Yes, I'll contact her father in Japan.
Once he finds out his daughter is head over heels for a married man,
he'll drag her back to Japan right away.
- How about this? - That looks good.
Like this.
What brings you here this time, Jaclyn?
Na Seung Pil, you surely must have Seo Hee Jae's father's number.
Let me have it.
I don't know that.
Why do you need her dad's number?
I'm going to tell him that her daughter is...
in an affair with a married man.
Then he'll run over right away and drag her back to Japan.
Jaclyn.
I'm warning you.
Do not mess with my family.
Are you afraid that your father will find out?
Are you embarrassed that you'll humiliate your parents?
It'd be useless even if you called him.
He has already said...
he has disowned me.
We'll have to see if it's useless or not.
I doubt you'll provide a way for me to contact him,
so I'll find a way to reach out.
There are lots of places that find people for money.
Seo Hee Jae.
You'd soon get dragged back to Japan by your father.
Your father in Japan isn't real.
No.
Suzuki Yamato isn't real.
He was my fake father played by a nameless actor...
who mostly worked in Japan.
We must do something first before she finds your fake father.
Yes, even if Jaclyn finds Suzuki,
she'll never find out I'm Shin Ju Kyung.
But she also can't find out...
that Suzuki isn't my real father and I'm a fake heiress. Not yet.
Suzuki Yamato.
Soe Hee Jae's Japanese name is Suzuki Miharu.
Find Miharu's father.
He's a mogul with a fortune,
yet a mysterious man who's never seen in the media?
This won't be easy.
And I'll have to travel to Japan.
(Director Jaclyn Taylor)
That's your retainer.
I don't care how much money you need.
Get Suzuki to Korea.
If he refuses to come,
drag him here at all costs, even if you must abduct him.
I told Suzuki to refuse any contact from Korea...
and stay in hiding.
It'll be difficult for Jaclyn to find him.
If she finds out that your father isn't real,
it'll be a matter of time before Jang Gi Yun finds out.
Then you'll fall in danger.
What is it? What do you want to say?
Why are you so reluctant to tell me what it is?
Well, it's...
Gosh, I can't bring myself to say it.
Are you here to borrow money?
What? How did you know?
I have no work...
or money,
so life is pretty tough right now.
Hey, I have no money.
If you want to borrow money, don't ask me, but my husband.
I tried to.
But Hee Chan is nearing the party representative election,
so he doesn't have extra money.
I understand that you are in a desperate situation.
But if my husband can't lend you money,
how can I lend money to my ex-husband?
Think about it.
How awful will it make Hee Chan feel?
You really can't think straight, can you?
That girl.
Did she think I felt thrilled to come to my ex-wife...
and shamelessly ask to borrow money?
Gosh, I'm too old and have nowhere to go.
I have no money either.
Wait, right.
(Jung Capital)
Good. Let's do this.
Yes, ma'am.
(Jung Capital)
- Hello. - Mr. Hwang, what brings you here?
Well, it's obvious.
Why else would I be here unless I wanted to borrow money?
You don't meet our conditions.
Come on, Woo Hyuk's uncle. It's an emergency.
Do you know Woo Hyuk?
Jun Hee, he's an actor at Woo Hyuk's agency.
Mr. Hwang, she's the chairwoman.
I see. Hello...
What?
Wait, aren't you the lady who cleans our building?
Mom.
Woo Hyuk's mother is the chairwoman here?
I heard the chairperson of this company was...
unbelievably wealthy.
So why did you work as a cleaning lady?
I didn't want to be lazy with myself in body and mind.
And it's better for Woo Hyuk to have...
a hard-working mother than a rich mother.
Does this mean...
he still has no idea his mother is rich?
No, not yet. She'll tell him soon.
He must take this business over.
If he gets this business,
he'll be like any other rich family's son.
I'll lend you the money you need without security.
In return, please keep this a secret...
until I tell him.
Of course!
I'm a man who can hold my tongue.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Hyunta. You haven't been doing your live streams these days.
Is something going on?
I'm unfit for live streams.
The more I do it, the more it drains me.
I'm going to quit doing it.
Hold on. It's a bummer that you'll quit...
your live streams.
Where did Woo Hyuk go?
He went to the third-floor lounge to get some drinks.
We need to talk, Woo Hyuk.
About what?
Woo Hyuk. You know that I like you, right?
- All of a sudden? - It's not all of a sudden.
I have had feelings for you since way back.
Since we're on the topic,
let's go out.
Hyunta. I have feelings for someone else.
I know that you still love the late Ju Kyung.
But I want to give it my all.
Give your all to what?
My all to make a guy who is in love with someone else mine.
Hyunta.
I only see you as a cute little sister.
If you don't give up despite me telling you this much...
If I don't give up?
I won't see you again.
It won't go your way.
(WJ Entertainment)
Bit Na?
She's in the US. Why would she be here?
Excuse me.
Hey.
(WJ Entertainment)
Bit...
My goodness. Bit Na?
Gosh, Mom. To meet you here of all places!
I missed you tons, Mom!
What... Hey!
What's going on?
Shouldn't you be in the US? So why are you here? Tell me.
Well, you see...
Look over there!
You little... Tell me how this happened!
Mom! I surrender!
In short, you dropped out of school without permission,
returned to Korea without telling us, and lived here all along.
You even lied to others that you were an orphan.
Goodness, Bit Na.
You didn't come to see me even though we worked...
in the same building.
How could you do this to me? I was within a foot of you.
I know, right? Now you call this a drama.
It's dynamic, right?
What will you do when Dad finds out?
It will be wonderful if he finds out.
You can't imagine how careful I am walking around to avoid him.
Being careful to avoid someone isn't my thing.
Good grief. I don't know what to say.
I will move into our house after a few days, Mom.
Prepare a feast that day.
I've been craving your food like crazy.
Goodness. You fool!
Gosh. Why are you so immature?
Why did you hit me? Seriously.
Soo A has become brighter...
and more mentally stable.
Is that so?
- Yes. - When will she start talking?
I hope she does soon.
At this rate, her selective mutism...
will most likely be treated.
But why did Soo A suddenly get this better?
I'd like to ask you that.
It could be a new environment...
or a person who gives her spiritual comfort.
Was there something like that?
"A person who gives her spiritual comfort?"
Seo Hee Jae?
It was Seo Hee Jae.
It's thanks to her that Soo A has become better.
Welcome back, Soo A.
Goodness.
Soo A. Get some rest in your room.
Aren't you busy? You should have Jaclyn...
take Soo A to the hospital.
Don't leave Soo A in Jaclyn's hands from now on.
I was blinded by Jaclyn and hadn't noticed until now.
But that woman has no affection for Soo A.
Starting now, you and I should look after Soo A.
Gi Yun. Why don't we hire someone?
Taking her to and from school.
Wouldn't it be better to hire an exclusive caretaker for Soo A?
We can't do that.
How can we entrust Soo A to someone who's not our family?
Soo A is still young.
Letting a stranger take care of her is no good.
All right. Got it.
I'm simply worried. You're swamped with work,
and it might take a toll on you.
The hospital says Soo A is a lot better now.
My goodness. Really?
The doctor suggested that...
it could be because of a spiritual supporter.
It's probably Hee Jae, right?
"Hee Jae?"
Yes, you're right.
Soo A is all smiles whenever she sees Hee Jae.
Hee Jae was Soo A's medicine.
Goodness gracious. It would've been wonderful...
if Hee Jae had become Soo A's new mom.
I have dinner plans with Assemblyman Yang.
- All right. Off you go. - Bye.
Bye.
- Here. You see, today... - Gosh.
I'm on cloud nine. So this is my treat.
What happened? You kept saying you were broke.
Here, Woo Hyuk. Have it.
No. You should have the leg.
No way.
Just looking at you eat fills me up.
Here. Hurry up.
Okay.
The more I look at you, Woo Hyuk, the more you overflow with elegance.
How do I put it? It's like your face...
gives off the DNA of a wealthy family.
I do?
Woo Hyuk. Have another leg.
- No, I... - Mr. Hwang?
I also like chicken legs.
Woo Hyuk. When you become big,
don't forget all the good things I did for you. Okay?
Okay, I won't.
Have some.
- Gosh. - Thanks for the meal.
This is strange. He's suddenly taking care of Woo Hyuk.
What's strange about it? Aren't we both actors?
Woo Hyuk, don't let him bother you. Dig in.
Come on. Gosh.
Dig in, guys.
- Okay. Thank you. - It's so good.
Seriously. Bit Na's dad will go wild...
if he finds out Bit Na is in Korea.
What do I do? Really.
What are you thinking about so deeply?
Good gracious.
Gosh, you scared me.
Make some sound, will you?
- Did you do something wrong? - What?
Something wrong, my foot.
Listen, Hee Chan.
Should we let Bit Na come back to Korea?
No way.
People beef up their resumes with fake diplomas these days.
Bit Na has nothing to offer.
She should at least have a diploma from a foreign university.
Good grief.
Really, I can't bring myself to tell him.
There's nothing I can do right now.
I'm going nuts.
Listen, Mr. Sandbag.
The king has donkey ears.
And Woo Hyuk is the heir of Jung Capital.
The fact that Woo Hyuk's mom is a billionaire.
I'm seriously dying...
to tell the others. But hush.
It's a secret. A secret, okay?
- Mr. Hwang. - Oh, gosh.
- What are you doing? - What?
Oh, nothing. I wasn't doing anything.
The king has donkey ears
It blows my mind that politics cost so much.
Please help so that the purpose of...
a portion of VK Media Project's land can be changed.
I can't proceed because it's said to be illegal.
Right. Don't worry.
Politics exists to transform what is illegal into something legal.
Right, there's a rumor of trouble between you and Jaclyn.
Are you getting ready to get rid of her soon?
Well, something like that.
Even if you're drawn to Seo Hee Jae, this isn't the right time.
How did you know that?
That I was drawn to her?
You can't hide your feelings.
If a man...
lays his eyes on a woman, he must have her.
But it must be done with good timing.
And that timing is after your VK Media business sets sail.
Yes, I'll remember that.
You must seize her fortune...
before she loses any more money...
investing in something like cryptocurrency.
Yes, I'll do that.
(Jang Gi Yun)
Gi Yun. Why are you calling me this late?
What happened?
You have a serious look on your face.
You asked me what our relationship was.
I wanted to see you to give you the answer.
I am in love...
with you.
I love you.
(The Elegant Empire)
I won't see Seo Hee Jae in private anymore.
Do not be suspicious of me, and give me your trust.
Deposit the money you promised to my company's account within a month.
Fake?
This man played a part as Seo Hee Jae's father?
I must take away Jaclyn's money...
before she finds my fake father.
I'll meet Seo Hee Jae's father soon.
It'll be the end of her...
once he comes to Korea.
