Thank you for hiring me. My name is Woo Ji Hwan.
This is...
Sir, this is...
Our company...
pays employees according to their capabilities.
Please take ownership in the company and your job...
and do your best.
Ms. Ham. Say a few words.
Yes, sir.
Congratulations.
You must pass probation...
to become a true WIDE employee.
You'd better stay on your toes.
Does training begin tomorrow?
Yes, sir.
I hope you'll all work hard.
I think we can call it a day.
Mr. Woo, you stay behind.
Yes, ma'am.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
I didn't have an ulterior motive.
I just wanted to secure a place on my own.
In your home and in the company.
What?
I had seen the notice that you'd hire completely blindly.
I had no idea I'd get into...
No, you didn't. This is void.
Sir, this cannot be accepted.
Why won't you say anything? Tell him to leave.
What reason do I have to do that?
He made it in.
Sir.
You were doing pretty well as a lawyer.
Why did you really join my company?
Father!
Once you start entering foreign markets,
my knowledge of international law should come in handy.
Don't even dream of it.
There's nothing you can do in this company.
Believe me.
I'll do my best at any task you give me.
What... He was accepted?
I think you should go to your mother.
No, wait.
I need to go out for a bit.
He's trying to take over...
not just our home but our company too.
I don't think...
this will look too bad on our part.
That's what Ji Hwan wants.
While we applaud him,
he'll move in to threaten us.
Do you really not get it?
Let's not say any more.
Just do things by the book.
I will not give in this time.
Why do you dislike him so much?
Is there something I don't know about?
Was what happened so far not enough?
Even if there is something I don't know about,
there's no way she'd tell me.
How much more must happen...
for you to disapprove of Ji Hwan?
Let's end this discussion for now.
Father.
You can stay.
- I'll walk you to your car. - Tae Hee.
If you sleep elsewhere again without even a call,
you will face my wrath.
- I apologize. - Get back to work.
He's going senile.
You knew about this, didn't you?
How could I have known?
I'd been locked up.
I really had no idea Ji Hwan had applied.
You look so gleeful.
I feel bad for you, but I'm overjoyed.
Smile all you want.
We'll see how long this lasts.
There's a limit to my patience.
You stole that line from my mouth.
- What? - Should I call you "sir" now?
Since you're my brother-in-law.
What right did you have...
to celebrate my election with free food?
I did it to make you look good.
Is that a bad thing?
Whatever. Refuse the job at WIDE.
I can't do that.
Quit being a nuisance and do as you're told.
I'm done watching you wreak havoc.
I got the job fair and square.
Wouldn't they have hired me because they need me?
What's such a problem?
Do you not see what the problem is?
Not at all.
Do you want to keep going?
Shall we get dirty?
Until we draw blood?
Dad.
- Hi, Sol. - Why are you fighting?
We weren't fighting. You're mistaken.
You yelled and said bad things.
That was...
because we had a disagreement.
Don't worry. We didn't fight.
It's for me to decide if it's really nothing at all.
- That's enough. - If you want to keep this up,
join us.
I'll take you on at home and at work.
I don't like him.
- What? - He spoke badly about you.
I don't like him.
Hello. Wait, just a moment.
How are you?
After you rushed out the way you did last time,
I meant to visit.
Did you get the money back?
Yes, I did.
Then we're really done.
You're not welcome here,
so even if you're nearby, just pass our store by.
Why do you dislike me so much?
You seem to be biased.
I'm not.
I was raised rich and I never lacked anything,
and that could be a concern,
but I had worries of my own,
and I studied hard in school.
After what you did to a poor woman,
you lived as if nothing happened.
And what? You had worries of your own?
Could you try to accept me?
I understand my mother mistreated you...
in the process that ended with your termination but...
You're really not getting the message.
I don't want to see you. Quit bothering me.
Then can you...
at least give me a reason?
Why can't I...
be with Ju Hong?
Do I need a reason to dislike you?
I don't just dislike you. I dislike you to death!
Okay?
Are you here to ask why my dad hates you so much?
Do you know anything?
He knows I don't like you.
I'm serious.
There seems to be something else,
but I just can't tell what.
What I do know is that my dad dislikes you and your mom...
just as much as I do.
You're a prosecutor-turned-assemblyman.
Aren't you smart enough to get it?
No. There has to be another reason.
Like what? What is it you want to know?
I don't know.
I can't say for sure, but my hunch says that's not it.
Don't trust your hunch. That's just you refusing to give in.
If you think my claim to win you back from Ji Hwan...
sounds like me refusing to give in,
then fine, let's say it's that.
But that's how I love someone.
You justify whatever you do and you call that your method,
but let me make this clear. Stay away from me and my dad.
I'm done wasting my energy.
I refuse to give in?
The look on Ji Hwan's face...
when he sees you next to me.
I insist on seeing that face,
so I guess I'm persistent.
What's this?
- Aladdin's magic lamp. - What?
When you're really stuck and have no way out,
open it then.
You'll find what you need, like magic.
Thanks.
Look after yourself.
You talk like we'll never meet again. I'll drop by every now and then.
You'd better.
I'd make you work from here if I could.
I'm thinking of bringing the next step forward.
You did join sooner than expected,
so that's only natural.
Everything's ready, so go ahead and don't worry.
- You should be the big brother. - You didn't know?
I already feel like my baby brother's venturing out on his own.
Say whatever you want. I'll let you, just for today.
Don't worry. I'll manage.
Do you want me to head home first?
Shouldn't I get things ready?
No. I'll take care of it myself this time.
I'll show them what happens to someone who's locked up...
in complete darkness for a whole month.
And then what happens if the month becomes a year.
A whole year? Weren't you just going to scare them?
You saw what happened today.
Ji Hwan joined the company.
- You're way too relaxed. - But...
It'll be over if we get the timing wrong.
Go and get my car ready.
I'm heading home early.
Let's postpone the meeting to tomorrow morning.
Is something wrong?
Something is dreadfully wrong.
And I have a terrible headache.
Shall I push back the meeting with the buyer too?
No. I think I'll feel just fine tomorrow.
That meeting will go as planned.
- Okay. - Take care.
Wait.
Is it true the seolleongtang lawyer joined the company?
What will you do?
Will you let him stay?
- That's nonsense. - It is, isn't it?
But the chairman talked like it's final.
I'm still in shock.
My heart's racing.
If that's all, get out.
If you had to choose between the two,
I'd say it's better to have him as an employee.
Think about it.
Rather than accept him as a son-in-law,
letting him be a new employee is much better.
There's no way I can survive, having to face...
the seolleongtang lawyer every morning and evening.
He'll remind me of that woman.
- What? - Do you have sleeping pills?
I do, for the chairman when he can't sleep.
But why do you need them?
- Get me some. - Can you not sleep?
Because of the seolleongtang lawyer?
Can you just do as you're told?
Okay, fine.
We must sleep well. If we can't,
our health deteriorates, our skin sags,
we become depressed, and gain weight.
Okay. I'll get you some quick.
Are you pleased you don't have to see this?
You incompetent fool.
If you did nothing when you lived, help me out in death.
Do whatever you can to stop Ji Hwan.
Shouldn't you pack?
You'll take me with you if I do.
I keep trying to think good thoughts,
but I can't.
I just don't want to move.
- Sol. - The guy you were with earlier.
He lives there too.
He hates me.
Sol.
I'll be right beside you.
I won't let anyone hate you, so don't worry.
I want to live here with you.
Why can't we do that?
You know I love you lots, don't you?
Don't say that.
Say we can live here instead.
You say you love me.
Why won't you do as I say?
Sol. I need you to do as I say this time.
Then leave me here.
How can you say that?
I don't want to go.
I'll live here on my own.
Will you keep this up? Will you?
I'm begging and you just say whatever you want.
Stop crying.
You'll do as I say this time. You can do that, can't you?
I'll come to the store after work. Wait for me.
Do you need to get someone a gift?
No. I want to treat you to dinner.
Let's not eat out. We can eat at home.
You cook rice and stew as soon as you get home.
That's too much on you, Mom.
From now on, let's eat out once a week.
Did the sun rise in the west today? What's the occasion?
From now on, once a week, the sun...
will rise in the west, and that's final.
- See you later. - Okay, bye.
That was Ju Hong.
What did she say?
She'll treat us to dinner.
She must be feeling better.
She's a smart kid.
She should know what will work and what won't.
Matters of the heart have nothing to do with smarts.
This and this are miles apart.
Do you want her to move on or not?
She should move on. She must,
but she must feel dreadful having to force herself to.
I feel bad for her.
Don't. It was bound to happen one day.
Yes.
You're no longer a child. You can't make them worry forever.
The worse you feel, the stronger you must be.
Come in.
The morning shift is clocking off.
Take care.
- See you tomorrow. - Okay.
By the way,
do you know any famous restaurants?
- What? - Somewhere trendy.
You sound like you have a date planned.
No. I want to take my parents out.
I see.
Check out Hyunnam-dong. Most places there are famous.
Right, I should do that. Thanks.
You're a good daughter.
I'm not. I'm giving my parents a hard time.
I want to show them today...
that I'm fine and doing okay.
It's good to see you smile.
- Take care. - Bye.
Well,
I don't smile because I'm happy. I'm happy because I smile.
That's what I'll do for now.
Are you serious? Okay, Ji Hwan.
I'll come over later.
No, wait. Should I go home and get things ready?
What should I do?
Wait at home. Let's act normally.
What about Sol?
She still doesn't like me?
It'll take a while.
I hope you understand.
I do. I understand how she feels.
I'll wait until she opens up.
Okay.
Pack everything you need.
Did you pack your phone and charger?
Yes.
Can I take Pu Reum?
Well? Do you like it?
- Yes. It's cute. - Will you go to your room and name it?
- Can I? - Yes, take him with you.
Let's see.
Thank you, Sol.
I'll wait outside.
Tae Hee.
This is the last warning.
Leave Ji Hwan.
Tae Hyung.
I'm saying this for your sake.
Quit now or you'll regret it later.
If anyone must regret, it'll be me.
Stop it.
Do you think Mom will let you do whatever you want?
- Would she kill me? - Tae Hee.
Ji Hwan moving in with Sol.
I don't think that's a bad thing for you.
- What? - I'll raise her well.
She's my relative too.
Wouldn't you have me be her mom than some stranger?
(Lawyer Woo Ji Hwan, Mom's Seolleongtang)
(Lawyer Woo Ji Hwan)
What are you doing?
Hi, Ju Hong.
What are you doing?
Ji Hwan told me to take out the trash.
Why is he throwing out his books?
Did he...
Yes. He decided to move in with them.
What? When? When is he moving in?
Jin Ho.
He'll be packed by now.
What? He's moving in today?
He might have left already.
Ju Hong!
Darn it.
Let's go.
Come on.
Will we never come back?
I don't think so.
What about Auntie?
What if she comes here to find us?
Shall we go now?
No, Ji Hwan. You can't do this.
This isn't right. Don't do it.
Sol, are you home?
Ji Hwan, it's Ju Hong. Let me in.
Sol.
They're gone?
They really left?
Is it really over?
How can you do this to me?
How can you, Ji Hwan?
(Manager Nam Tae Hee)
Mr. Yang?
Ms. Nam.
I think it's best if you don't come home for a while.
I shouldn't come home?
Once you wake up from your deep sleep,
you'll see what happens when you refuse to quit being stubborn.
- Is Tae Hee home? - Yes.
Make sure today's dinner is exceptional.
- Don't worry, ma'am. - Okay.
Welcome home. You must be tired. Come closer.
It's grapefruit tea.
It'll freshen you up.
Try it.
Okay.
- What? - I think it's the first time...
you offered me a drink.
Don't be silly.
You've been through a lot.
Finish the tea and it'll liven your appetite.
(Ju hong)
Let's go, Sol.
Yes, drink up.
That will be the best for you and for us all.
Don't mind that. Finish your tea.
It must be Ji Hwan.
What do you mean?
How dare you let them in?
Let go.
Are you out of your mind?
I said they'd move in.
Says who?
Who said you could move in?
Sol, say hello. She's your grandma.
How are you?
- Woo Ji Hwan. - I'm moving in.
- I can't let this girl in. - Mother.
Shall I tell her whose daughter she is?
Shall I?
(The Secret House)
What do you mean you'll reveal whose daughter she is?
Oh, my gosh.
What's going on?
I will marry Baek Ju Hong.
Whether you tell someone off or get revenge,
you should do it with me. How could you leave me?
I'm about to begin.
I'll make them all pay. Watch down on me, Min Young.
You're really drunk.
Go away.
- Hello? Who's this? - Who are you?
- Why aren't you here yet? - Ju Hong?
