(Episode 8)
Honey, let's go.
Gosh, you smell like garlic.
Right. I volunteered to make kimchi at the children's home, so...
Why did you make a promise to a man who stabbed my back?
Don't you ever think?
Honey!
How could you deal with the scumbag who framed me,
your innocent husband?
I'm sick and tired of you...
looking down on me like this.
When did I ever look down on you?
So, I didn't have time to buy anything for you.
But I did buy an English fairytale book for Soo A.
It's fine as long as you bought Soo A's gift.
I'm sorry.
The business trip didn't go well, so I was on edge.
Good grief.
Anyway, Dad will cause a fuss if he finds out.
What now? Gosh.
Things can't always proceed well.
Since we're on the topic,
can't you tell Dad that Oh Na Hee will likely debut...
in Hollywood?
Are you telling me to lie to Father?
I can't do that.
Is it that hard to boost your husband's ego?
Are you really after the chairman position,
like the others are saying?
Who said that?
Who said I was after the chairman position?
Forget it if it's not true.
Good gracious. It stinks of garlic.
Roll down the window if you can't stand the smell.
I'm losing it. I really am.
The minute I return to Korea from the US,
this annoying smell is making me lose my sanity.
Goodness.
My son. It was tough, wasn't it?
- Gosh. Have you had dinner yet? - Not yet.
Welcome home, Dad.
Right. I'm back.
I'll have dinner after making my report to Dad.
His son is working his butt off for the company,
but I doubt the dad realizes it.
Soo A. Dad must've been too tired to notice your greeting.
Hey! What are you doing? Come in at once!
Soo A. Dad has a gift for you. Wait in your room, okay?
I got a guarantee from Director David that he will cast Na Hee.
WJ Entertainment will finally advance to Hollywood.
He's right, Father.
Gi Yun pulled it off on his business trip.
You've finally earned your keep.
That's right.
WJ Entertainment will expand...
to the world now.
By the way, Dad.
Since the chairman position has been vacant for a while,
the executives want to discuss selecting a new chairman...
in the board of directors meeting before the company's foundation day.
That's a no.
Get your mind off of it. I'll take care of it with Ju Kyung.
Seriously. Dad.
How much more must I do...
for you to acknowledge me?
What more must I do?
Ju Kyung.
Have you thought about becoming the new chairman?
I don't have the confidence.
Please hand the company over to Gi Yun.
Gi Yun has a long way to go.
I know that our company suffered a big loss...
by investing in the drama all the employees were against.
You must not tell a soul I transferred...
all my company shares to you.
No matter what,
keep those shares and protect the company.
Got it?
Yes.
What was it like to see Jang Gi Yun in real life?
Why do you ask?
Are you worried I might fall for him like the lady who committed suicide?
I can't deny it.
Jang Gi Yun has this odd charm that bewitches women.
Including Eun Ha,
even Director Shin is too good for him.
I'm not interested in love or men.
I'm only interested in the company he owns.
All I need is to take his company.
"No great man ever complains..."
"Complains of..."
"Of want of opportunity."
Can't you memorize such a simple line?
- I'm sorry. - In English!
I told you to speak only in English in the house.
I'm sorry.
Gi Yun. Aren't we eating right now?
Let Soo A eat in peace.
Is English that important? She's still a kid.
Shut up!
Talk in English if you have anything to say.
It's for Soo A's education.
Jang Soo A. Listen carefully.
I'm doing all I can to make you the best...
by sending you...
to the best English kindergarten...
and hiring a dietitian for your meals.
Stop disappointing me.
Okay. I will do my best from now on.
In English! I told you to speak in English!
Leave. You have no right to eat.
Enough!
Soo A peed herself because of you.
Must you scold her at every meal?
You're the problem here.
Because you keep covering for Soo A, she's still that mess,
no matter how much effort I put into her education.
When I was a kid, I received the best education.
So? Were you happy?
You told me your childhood was awful to the point you wanted to die.
How is what you're doing to Soo A...
any different from what Father did to you?
What was that?
Did I ever beat Soo A like Dad did to me?
Where and how am I similar to Dad?
This is another form of abuse. It doesn't have to be physical.
Shut up!
Are you showing off your ignorance?
How dare you yell at the dining table...
in front of your mother-in-law and husband?
Aren't you a high school dropout? Don't meddle in Soo A's education.
Soo A. Go to your room.
Go.
Don't cry.
Shin Ju Kyung.
Do this again at the dining table, and I won't sit still.
What a bunch of jerks.
Are you okay, Ju Kyung?
I'm fine.
But I'm worried about Soo A.
(Soro Gallery, Director Jaclyn Taylor)
To think you have met and are making a comeback...
with such a wealthy and beautiful woman.
Congratulations.
My gosh. In short, this lady is investing in establishing...
your new entertainment, Mr. Na. Right?
Oh my. Look at the size of the ring.
This is a diamond, right?
I can already tell that you're made of money.
Assemblyman Yang, I heard your final goal is the presidency.
I'll support you more certainly...
and powerfully than Jang Gi Yun.
With all these people offering me their support,
I need to run for office even if I don't want to.
What do you mean, Yoon Ji Tae is out of reach?
He turned his phone off too. He's out of reach.
But he was so thrilled to get that supporting part in a drama.
I think he's home, but he won't open the door.
Mr. Ji, please go to his house.
- And call me if anything happens. - Yes.
Good morning.
Is something going on?
Nothing's going on.
I'm leaving for a meeting with Designer Victor Hong.
Are you going to ask him to sponsor Na Hee's outfits?
He only sponsored outfits for actors who won awards.
He's supposed to be really snooty.
If I make an offer big enough and worthy of his global reputation,
he may change his mind too, right?
I'm here...
Gi Yun, you're here.
CEO Na came by before he began his entertainment agency.
"CEO Na?"
"Entertainment agency?"
Sure. Good luck.
Assemblyman Yang, Jaclyn and I will visit next time.
Sure.
Gi Yun, it looks like...
Mr. Na found a crazy rich investor.
She's worth billions. No way!
On top of that, her diamond ring was...
this big.
So what? Are you going to go to his agency?
Goodness, listen to this guy. What do you take me for?
Hey! Did you think I was that disloyal?
Goodness, don't leave our guest on his feet just so you can chat.
Bring us some tea.
Fine!
That cheeky jerk.
How dare he show up here knowing how close we are?
He's probably not afraid of anything now that he has Jaclyn.
It's a shame to leave Jaclyn by Seung Pil's side, not you.
What do you mean?
I don't mean anything by that.
I'm a man...
who must have something once I set my mind to it.
If I were you, here's what I would do.
Jang Gi Yun must've been provoked...
to see us with Assemblyman Yang Hee Chan.
Jaclyn, you're one clever woman.
I also liked the idea of approaching him...
while hiding the fact that you're Eun Ha's fraternal twin.
My plan to bring him to the US hit a home run.
You came to the US to ask me to join you...
in getting my sister's revenge on that man?
Why are you laughing?
It's hilarious.
There are so many other fun things you can do in life.
Why would I waste my time and money to get revenge?
I couldn't care less, so get lost.
What about this?
You can take Jang Gi Yun's money, and I'll get my revenge.
I already have enough money.
No matter how wealthy you are, you can't be affluent in the US...
as an adopted Asian.
You have enough money, so why don't you seek fame?
You can take WJ, the best entertainment agency in Korea.
You can take the money too.
All I want is to get my revenge.
I just need to see him shattered into pieces.
That's all I want.
So I can have...
the agency and the money?
Call your friend, Jang Gi Yun,
and tell him Director David Willis is looking for an Asian actress...
and get him to the US.
All you have to do is get him to the film company.
Do you think Jang Gi Yun will fall into the trap?
He desperately needs an outstanding performance...
to become WJ's chairman.
I know he'll fall into the trap.
As we planned, we provoked him once again at the airport.
Everything is going perfectly according to our plan.
We're off to a great start.
Seung Pil.
Do you want to know the real reason why I'm in Korea?
You have more than enough money, so now you want fame...
by becoming the owner of WJ Entertainment.
The reason why I need fame,
the real reason why I came to Korea,
is to get revenge on my mother who abandoned me.
I'll rise to fame and make sure she regrets...
giving me up for adoption...
and abandoning me instead of Eun Ha.
Let me know if anybody wants coffee.
Sure. Right here.
Here.
- Hello, Mr. Jang. - Mr. Jang.
Hello. Have you all been well?
Mr. Jang, will Na Hee star in a Hollywood film?
Well, we'll know for sure when we get the contract,
but it's pretty much decided.
What a liar.
It obviously didn't go well, right?
Yes, Mr. Jang never does anything right.
Mr. Jang, you're so amazing!
Goodness, don't mention it.
Anyway, is Director Shin out on business?
Tell her to come to my office when she returns.
Yes, sir!
Hello!
My name is Jung Woo Hyuk, a future actor of WJ Entertainment!
My goodness.
Who is this?
He auditioned as an actor recently,
and he wanted to come to the office to learn whatever he could.
Everyone and their mother is going around trying to be an actor.
Hey.
"Everyone and their mother?"
Don't you think you're too rude?
What if I become a famous actor?
Don't you think you'll regret those words?
Go ahead and try.
Come back when you make it,
and tell me, "I'm not just everyone and their mother."
Okay?
(Yoon Ji Tae, Oh Na Hee)
Gosh.
Just wait.
I'll make sure I become an actor.
Darn it.
Ji Tae! What's going on?
Ji Tae!
Should I call the police?
No, Ji Tae is an actor.
I can't let him be seen in and out of a police station.
What am I going to do?
- Ji Tae! Open the door! - Darn it!
Ji Tae!
Are you crazy? How dare you come to the set?
Darn it!
Mr. Jung.
(WJ Entertainment)
What are you doing here?
Some jerk looked down on me and called me a nobody,
so I got angry and decided to practice.
How can you act well if you can't control your emotions?
An actor has to show a smile if the character is smiling,
even if his parents have passed.
Did you feel mad because it was unfair he looked down on you?
Yes, I felt mad, and it was unfair.
- Goodness, kiddo. - I'm not a kid.
If you feel it's unfair, show him by acting better.
And you need to learn to be patient if you want to be a great actor.
What's harder than acting is waiting in patience.
Get it, kiddo?
I got it. But I'm not a kiddo.
First, you need to practice controlling your feelings...
if you want to be a good actor.
Right. I see.
Hey.
Ms. Shin, what did Victor Hong say about the sponsorship?
I think it'll go well.
Really? My gosh!
Gosh, Ms. Shin. What can't you do?
Ms. Shin is so amazing.
Right, Mr. Jang wanted to see you once you came back.
Really?
Hey, Mr. Ji.
Director Shin...
What is it? What's going on?
- Mr. Ji. - Director Shin.
You hear that, right?
The sound of screaming and things breaking.
Ji Tae won't answer his phone or open the door.
- I couldn't call the police. - Darn it.
Whatever is happening inside,
I'm dead scared.
- Go back to the company, Mr. Ji. - Really.
- I'll take care of things here. - What?
What will you do all alone?
- Mr. Cho. - Yes?
It's okay. Is Director Shin not back yet?
She came back, then left again.
Did you pass on the message that I wanted to see her?
Yes.
Hold on. And yet, she ignored my message...
and left? Yes?
Well, she didn't really ignore you.
It sounded like something urgent came up.
Shin Ju Kyung.
She's looking down on me in front of the employees now?
Great.
I wonder what it is this time, Director Shin.
Your job as a manager sure is tough.
Yoon Ji Tae. What on earth is going on?
Can't you tell? Just leave.
My life is over now.
That wench will tell the whole world I told her to get an abortion...
if I don't give her 100,000 dollars.
But I don't have that money.
It's the end of my actor career.
Coming this far wasn't easy.
My life sucks, darn it.
Did you love her?
"Her?"
I did.
Why did you hit me?
Why did you make the woman you loved to hate and resent you?
I told you to become a decent human before becoming an actor.
I'm sorry.
I had the wrong impression about him...
and put in the effort to make...
an unqualified guy into an actor until now.
It's all my fault.
Despite being his manager, I didn't take care of him well.
- I'm sorry. - Director Shin!
Lady. Quit putting on a show and get lost.
Do you think I wouldn't know you planned this out...
not to give me the money?
I will give you the money.
I won't spend company money on such a scumbag.
I will give you my personal money.
And...
I will also throw that jerk away.
Are you really going to give me the money?
Yes. In return,
if that guy apologizes sincerely, please accept it...
and keep this in the dark.
I may be throwing him away, but he's still young.
We should give him a chance to lead a proper life.
You know that Ji Tae had it hard...
coming all this way under his divorced parents.
There. Chang Sung.
Why do you need a hidden camera?
You don't need to know the reason.
Just keep quiet about it.
Don't tell anyone that a camera was installed...
in my hearing aid.
Got it.
Gosh. I'm so happy that...
you're in your right mind today.
Hey, Sung Il.
Is my Alzheimer's that bad?
That's right. You don't even recognize me.
From what I heard from your wife,
you only recognized Ju Kyung.
Even when you're not yourself, you only ask for Ju Kyung.
Is that so?
I must really trust Ju Kyung a lot.
More than my wife.
And more than my son.
Jaclyn?
Let me treat you to a drink.
My company's coming.
By company, do you mean Seung Pil?
Yes.
Let me give you some advice.
It's best not to keep Na Seung Pil close to you.
What's with that smile?
How strange. Na Seung Pil said the same thing.
He told me that I shouldn't keep you close...
and that you were a very dangerous man.
So this was what I told him.
"I like dangerous men."
I'm currently staying in the penthouse of this place.
If we ever bump into each other again,
let's have a drink then.
You sound more dangerous than me.
I have zero interest...
in dangerous women.
"Why do women like me?"
"I'm good-looking. Aren't I?"
"No way. I can't really tell if you're good-looking."
"Mi Ja. Where are you, Mi Ja?"
Kiddo.
You're still here?
There are a lot of scripts here.
I lose track of time when I practice.
- What about you, Ju Kyung? - "Ju Kyung?"
Mind your manners.
Come on. Isn't Ju Kyung cuter and better than Director Shin?
Ju Kyung.
- What about dinner? - I had some.
You can't fool me. You didn't eat anything.
What?
I should ask you the same question.
Thank you.
Kiddo. Why do you want to act?
I can live somebody else's life.
What?
My life isn't anything special.
Once I become an actor,
I can jump into someone else's life and live as them.
That's fun and exciting.
One more thing.
When I act,
my heart beats really fast and all.
It's nice how acting is fun and exciting.
- No! - Gosh.
- Listen to me, will you? - No!
- Please! - Gosh.
Let go. No. Ju Kyung!
I said no!
My gosh. Are you okay, Ms. Hong?
Goodness, you!
We need to change your diaper since you pooped!
Why do you only let Ju Kyung change you?
- Good grief, it stinks. - Ju Kyung.
- Just how much did you poop?
My head is spinning.
- It's hot. - Got it. It looks good.
Hold on.
Yes, Mother?
Your father-in-law pooped!
Come home at once!
You'll have to eat alone today.
What happened?
I'm sorry. Bye.
Gosh, she's always running around.
Let's see. Here we go.
Father. Let me change your diaper.
Okay.
Father. It feels good, right?
Yes. It does.
Hey.
Your father-in-law only wants you around.
Can you quit your job?
He wanted updates about the agency whenever he came back around.
Goodness. You're such a showoff.
Go now.
Yes.
Good grief, look at this.
I broke my nail wrestling with that man.
Wait, where are the nail clippers?
A few days ago, the caregiver said she would clip his nails.
All he does is eat, sleep, and poop,
just like an infant.
You've been punished.
You're punished...
for beating Gi Yun and holding me in disdain.
Where is it?
(Doctor Home Health Insurance, Beneficiary: Shin Ju Kyung)
Insurance policies?
These are...
Ju Kyung!
Ju Kyung, come out now!
Yes, Mother.
You despicable woman.
When did you take out all these insurance plans?
What? Insurance plans?
Goodness, what is this?
"What is this?"
You dared to take out all these life insurance plans for him...
and set yourself as the beneficiary after his death!
You wicked and horrifying brat!
- Mother, no! - Mommy!
I don't know anything about this.
- You don't know? - Mommy.
You don't?
How dare you lie to me?
- You don't know? You jerk. - No!
Mommy. Grandma.
Grandma. Mommy.
Mother, what's going on?
Daddy...
Daddy, Grandma is hitting Mommy.
Mom, what are you doing with Soo A here? What is it?
Goodness, Gi Yun.
Gi Yun, look at these.
She tried to take all this insurance money.
That wicked girl!
She did something this wicked...
while putting on the facade of a good girl!
"Life insurance?"
Shin Ju Kyung, you're disgusting.
No, honey. I don't know anything about this!
She's feigning ignorance.
She's still feigning ignorance even after she's caught. How brazen!
I must've been crazy to have you as a daughter-in-law!
Honey, it's not true.
You need to trust me!
You're despicable. Shut up!
Mommy!
Mommy, are you okay?
(The Elegant Empire)
You two should cut ties of your ill-fated relationship.
That would be the day one of us disappears from this field.
If you want to destroy your enemy,
you must get his comrade on your side.
I knew Jaclyn would come and visit you,
but I didn't expect her to make the move so quickly.
Seung Pil, you got nothing on me.
