What did you say?
I said...
Yoo Ji Ho isn't your grandson.
You wench.
You dare lie...
just to upset an old woman?
You swapped out my daughter!
For decades you made me believe I was raising my birth daughter.
You also made me break my daughter's heart.
Do you think I can't do what you do?
I turned Kang Ji Ho into Yoo Ji Ho.
Sung Jae did the work for me.
I can't believe this!
I won't believe you until I see for myself!
I can't...
Ma Hyun Duk.
Your arrogance covered your eyes and ears.
That's exactly why I didn't recognize Hye Soo.
Why are you calling me this late?
Vice-chairwoman Seol. Do you know where I am?
I don't care where you are.
It will be torture for you anyway.
Your sweet angel...
who torments you right now.
I'm where Hye Soo is.
It's not the first time you're lurking around her.
Why are you telling me this?
Because you don't seem to remember.
The moment you try to open my Pandora's Box that you shouldn't,
what do you think Hye Soo will hear?
What?
If she were to find out you were involved in her aunt's death,
what would happen?
Oh, I see Hye Soo right now.
Don't say a word to her.
If that's what you want, leave Yusimwon this instant!
Yoo Ji Ho, that scumbag.
Who is it, honey?
Who upset you?
Something's bothering me.
It's dragging me down.
Then you must cut yourself free.
Just tell me.
You and I agreed to be honest with each other.
Hye Soo's aunt's hit-and-run accident.
The chairwoman put it in motion...
and Se Young delivered the fatal blow?
Yes. Ji Ho knew all that and pretended...
to help cover up what the chairwoman did.
You must've helped Se Young as well.
I made the wrong decision.
It's getting worse and worse.
Can we punish the chairwoman and Ji Ho for making it...
look like a hit-and-run?
Se Young should pay as well.
This was four years ago and the body was taken care of.
It won't be easy to find proof.
Still, I can't ignore this issue forever. For Hye Soo's sake at least.
We shouldn't tell her about it.
If she were to hear even her aunt didn't die in an accident...
Even if hearing the truth would make her hate me more,
I should tell her.
Chairwoman Ma is behind every evil act.
And Ji Ho and Se Young.
Yes.
They're connected like a tangled ball of yarn.
Rather than bring up a four-year-old accident,
it would be easier to look into any ongoing evil or corruption.
If we take down the chairwoman, will Ji Ho...
and Se Young get caught up in it as well?
The war ends when you fell the enemy commander.
Look into stock manipulation or accounting fraud.
You know what the chairwoman's like.
She'll have taken care of everything.
Everyone has a weakness somewhere.
Try one, Grandma.
I will.
You got the idea to bring me a snack?
You're sweet for a grown man.
You entrusted me with a huge job.
It's just a small snack, but I wanted to express my gratitude.
Oh, it's delicious.
Grandma.
The people who want Ms. Seol to succeed you.
They will be quite formidable.
That's what Yu Gyeong's like.
And there will be quite a few executives who miss my late husband.
They'll try to get you to waver.
They could lie and say I'm not good enough,
and they might try to blind you.
Who am I? I'm Ma Hyun Duk.
I took down the Yoo family...
and turned Cheonha Group into my kingdom.
Not even Yu Gyeong...
will be able to topple...
my sturdy castle.
Right. I trust you have my back.
I'd like to ask your permission for something.
What is it?
I want to finalize my divorce.
Can you do that? Se Young's a clingy thing.
Can you cut her off?
Leave that to me, Grandma.
There's a legal way to attack Grandma and Ji Ho?
Yes. Let's focus on Apolon, the menswear brand...
that made Ji Ho a major shareholder overnight.
That should be our starting point.
I can't believe Dad had a subsidiary Mom and I didn't know of.
It's even stranger that he left it to Ji Ho and not In Ha.
It bothers me that the chairwoman was the only one to clear it too.
Not to mention that Apolon's much smaller than Cheonha Fashion.
So how could it swallow Cheonha Fashion?
Do you think it could be a paper company?
- I do. - So do I.
It must be something the chairwoman set up to keep us three in line.
She wants to use Ji Ho to run things from behind the scenes.
- We must stop that. - Of course we must.
I'll fly to Hong Kong for a few days.
I must see for myself what this Apolon really is.
What?
You'll reveal how Hye Soo's aunt died?
If I don't agree to the divorce?
You haven't forgotten, have you?
This video could become...
the hidden card that can get us married.
It could become the chairwoman's Achilles' heel.
So you're the root of all evil.
- Ms. Jung. - You wench.
You'll rot in the fiery pits.
Will you stop it? Let go!
You killed Ms. Jung, not the chairwoman.
You covered it up for me!
We faked a hit-and-run.
Her funeral's over as well.
Did you go to the chairwoman?
She thinks I killed her.
- Why did you do that? - You know why.
Because I love you.
I loved you knowing you were evil and crazy, so why didn't I know...
you could go evil and crazy against me?
You know love has a short shelf life.
Why do you think we'd be an exception?
Right.
You loved me thinking I was Mom's birth daughter...
and Joo Bum Seok's adopted child.
Love equals desire to you.
I keep forgetting that.
That darn love. Can you stop whining about it?
Even the most romantic of people...
put themselves before love.
Love changes and that's reality.
So what?
Does your love change all the time?
Listen, Se Young.
Do you...
still love me?
Okay. I'll give you what you want, Ji Ho.
I announce Yoo Ji Ho and Joo Se Young's consensual divorce.
That was unexpected.
I didn't think you'd be so cool about it.
- Don't be too pleased. - What?
For the first time...
I regretted the moments I bet my life on the likes of you.
Or rather, the moments I thought I loved you.
It's good to see you come to your senses.
What's most important is that...
the person I hate the most...
went from Hye Soo to you.
Oh, I am terrified.
Ji Ho.
Watch your back at night.
And when the weather's bad.
Not bad, Se Young.
Keep it up. Stay strong and mean.
Then maybe you can climb back up.
Good luck.
See you.
(CEO of Poison, Joo Se Young)
I'll start over right here.
Cheonha Fashion, Jung Hye Soo, Yoo In Ha,
and Mom.
No, Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong.
I'll crush them all.
(Stella Jung, Nam Han Kang)
(Cho Ye Seo)
One of these three looks...
will headline Stella Show Two.
The three final looks are...
Director Jung's, Head Designer Nam's,
and Ms. Cho's.
It'll be put to a vote at Cheonha Fashion's board meeting.
Stella Show's headliner look...
will represent Cheonha Fashion in the new season as well.
I'm honored to even compete with you with one of my designs.
Are you sure they didn't already decide to go with yours?
They didn't. Fashion is art, but before that,
it must be a profitable business.
You can't survive with a brand name alone.
If you could, I wouldn't be here.
My design has wrinkles and folds that fall naturally.
It's a pleated look that hides your figure but accentuates your femininity.
The classic belt is the focal point.
I went with a subdued minimal look.
The skirt isn't overly sexy,
but it has a smooth silhouette, so it is still sexy enough.
I went with a fringe look.
The decorative feather tassels...
add a hint of femininity and cuteness.
Very well.
- I like them all. - Thank you.
You want to see the main look for Stella Show Two?
I'll host an open market...
and sell them online.
So you'll copy Stella's design and sell Cheonha ripoffs?
You're telling me to steal her design!
You said I was your role model and that you respected me.
That was ages ago.
You used to be cheerful and naive.
Why would cheerful and naive me steal?
What do you take me for?
Sit back down.
I'll make you a head designer.
My brand is called Poison.
The poisonous kind?
It's a strong, alluring name, isn't it?
It symbolizes fashion you know is bad but can't help falling for.
You know it's bad but can't help it?
I believe you want the same.
At Stella Show Two,
we'll showcase Cheonha Fashion's designers' work...
and the main design will be our main look for the upcoming season.
- Sounds good. - I'm so nervous.
Cheonha Fashion's executives...
and five famous outside designers we invited placed their votes.
The results say...
the pleated look won.
I knew it. Congratulations, Director.
It was your design? Good for you.
- Thank you. - It's fantastic.
(Director of Fashion, Stella Jung)
Sorry.
In Ha. Are you back from Hong Kong already?
"Already?" Two days felt like two months for me.
I missed you like crazy.
That woke me right up.
I need some air.
It's cold out. You'll catch a cold.
Just follow me.
I will, then.
Hello, Ms. Jung, Mr. Yoo.
You're in early.
Is she making you work too hard?
No. I came in early because I have stuff to do.
I'll step out for a short walk.
Okay, see you later.
Work hard.
A short walk?
These are the newest Stella Jung designs.
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
I'm back.
I thought you'd come in tomorrow.
I came right from the airport because I thought I'd get sick...
if I didn't see the one person I missed.
What? You'll bore a hole in my face.
You're cousins and you still can't give up on her?
Giving up is for cowards.
It's not funny.
I'm lame, aren't I?
I know you're serious about her.
I know you're worried.
But I'll see what I can do about how I feel.
Let's get down to urgent business.
Did you look into Apolon?
Yes.
What's this?
As you can see, the Hong Kong-based subsidiary Apolon is a paper company.
This is what I found out myself when I was in Hong Kong.
My gosh. This is daylight robbery.
You went to this address and you found a bar, not even an office?
Yes. The phone number didn't exist either.
The profits they said they made...
and import and export accounts were all forged.
Are you saying the chairwoman set up a paper company?
Yes.
She used this non-existing company...
to make Yoo Min Sung the largest shareholder.
And she made it look like he'd left it to Yoo Ji Ho?
Exactly.
To speed up the merger, she must have boosted Apolon's value...
and lowered Cheonha Fashion's as much as possible.
That's preposterous.
I can't accept Yoo Ji Ho as chairman.
Neither can I. The chairwoman went too far.
I won't let this slide.
At the upcoming general meeting,
The three of us will vote for you to become the next chairwoman.
We'll get to show them we can break a rock with raw eggs.
I feel so reassured.
The executives are acting suspiciously.
Are you afraid...
you won't be voted in as chairman at the general meeting?
I'm your grandson. Why would I be afraid?
- It's just that... - Just what?
I'm concerned I might not live up to your expectations.
How will the executives vote?
What do you think? See if you can guess.
You set this up.
It could never fail.
That's exactly it.
Who am I? I'm Ma Hyun Duk.
That's right, Grandma.
You're the king of beasts who make others tremble...
just by saying your name.
That's it...
Chairwoman Ma Hyun Duk...
will be succeeded by one of two candidates.
Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong...
and Interim Chairman Yoo Ji Ho.
I won't accentuate the fact that I'm Yoo Hyung Seok's legitimate heir.
For the last 30 years,
I worked hard for Cheonha Group.
If you love the company and care about its future...
I believe you will vote for me.
I'll keep things brief.
Youngblood is what we need.
With passion and energy that befits the new century,
I'll build up a strong Cheonha Group.
The word "interim" in my title.
Vote for me so I can ditch it.
The voting will be done anonymously.
On the pieces of paper, write the name of the person you support.
Wait.
All votes should be done transparently.
We're here to select the next chairman.
Instead of an anonymous vote, how about we do a show of hands?
- I agree. - I second that.
Those who think...
Vice-chairwoman Seol should be voted in, raise your hand.
Those who think Interim Chairman Yoo...
should be voted in, raise your hand.
Thank you.
The person to succeed Chairwoman Ma and lead Cheonha Group.
Yoo Ji Ho...
Excuse me.
I'm from the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office.
Ma Hyun Duk,
you're under arrest for suspicion of stock manipulation and accounting fraud.
What?
I'm under arrest?
You can remain silent and you have the right to an attorney.
All you say can be used against you in court.
Mr. Yoon.
I got orders from the Minister of Justice. I had no choice.
The Minister of Justice?
(Minister of Justice Joo Bum Seok)
Ma Hyun Duk. No one stays on top forever.
You ruled over others for long enough.
It's time you had a break.
Seol Yu Gyeong.
You actually took me down.
Don't worry, Grandmother. I'm Cheonha Group's chairman now.
I'll get you out.
You're wrong, Yoo Ji Ho.
Your right to become chairman just got revoked.
"Revoked?"
You all voted with a show of hands.
Ji Ho. That result's only valid when your candidacy is valid.
What?
If the charges against the chairwoman are proven,
her shares lose validity and legal power.
That means out of the 20 percent of Cheonha Group shares you own,
the 16 percent the chairwoman gave you will be as useful as scrap paper.
Ma Hyun Duk, you did a great deal so far.
What?
You wench. How dare you?
Cheonha Group's new chairwoman...
is me, Seol Yu Gyeong.
(Cheonha Group Chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
(Game of Witches)
I think someone in Cheonha Fashion...
leaked it with malicious intent.
We can't go ahead with Stella Show Two if things are like this.
Yu Gyeong played hardball and it worked.
I don't think it'll be that easy to get myself out of this mess.
I'll serve you well, Chairwoman Seol.
Please do, Interim Vice-chairman Yoo.
