You're Stanley?
You look surprised.
Didn't you know...
Hangang Capital was my grandfather's investment company?
"Investment company?" It's a money-lending business.
I don't think you can afford to sit there and mock me.
I should've suspected something when you wanted my shares as collateral.
You want it for free?
And to steal my title?
You're the one who asked for the money.
Make Femme Fatale a success.
Then we both benefit.
And if it fails?
You mope while I rejoice.
That's business for you.
How dare you hide in the shadows to stab me in the back?
I'll give you one opportunity.
If you're displeased and feel wronged...
that I'm Hangang Capital's CEO Stanley,
I'll tear up this contract.
What?
Don't!
Will you wait?
Why are you so impatient?
I wish you well.
If you don't profit within the deadline, I get 15 percent of the shares.
That means you'll no longer be the chairman of Cheonha.
Darn it.
Yoo In Ha, try as you might,
you can never beat me.
Cheonha Group and Yusimwon...
will be mine forever.
Hello there. Welcome.
Joo Se Young.
What are you doing here?
Why are you in Ms. Ma's... No.
Why are you in my seat?
What a rude nephew you are.
- What? - I thought you'd know by now.
I was officially adopted by Ms. Ma.
Do you want to see my family relation certificate?
What legal power do you think...
the family register and family relation certificate have?
I am Ms. Ma's patron.
What are you doing to a mentally unstable old woman?
I'll sue to have the adoption annulled.
What if you end up revealing Ms. Ma isn't demented at all?
It won't be easy to accept,
but treat me with courtesy.
You're losing your mind more each day.
You arrogant fool.
Greet me with proper manners.
Legally, I'm now your aunt.
You're my aunt?
Se Young got out on probation?
Not just that, but Ms. Ma adopted her?
Yes. I heard that from a Yusimwon secretary.
You knew about this?
Things happened sooner than I thought.
That means Ms. Ma is scheming again.
Did she make Se Young her daughter to use her as a puppet?
Ji Ho, who turned out not to be her grandson,
made her look senile and locked her up.
There's no way she'd just take it.
Will Se Young actually do what Ms. Ma wants?
She'll willingly act as the puppet because she's just as desperate.
I agree.
She'll get Ms. Ma to replace Ji Ho,
then get to the top to get rid of us all.
At 5 p.m. this coming Saturday,
please come to Yusimwon.
I hope you'll bless and guide me on this new beginning of mine.
Se Young invited me to Yusimwon.
And me too.
She'll have invited Ji Ho too, then.
(Cheonha Group Chairman Yoo Ji Ho)
"New beginning?"
"Bless and guide?"
My gosh. You really lost it, Se Young.
What should I do with them all?
(Yusimwon)
I slept so well for once.
You'll all have to bless me.
You'll feel honored that I invited you.
You seem to have slept well.
You look much better than before.
- Shall we prepare for the party? - Yes, I'll get things ready.
Yes, I always liked blue.
I love it.
I thank you all for accepting my invitation.
You'll have heard, but Ms. Ma adopted me.
Since you all have long-standing ties with me,
I decided to invite you over.
My surname is now Ma.
Call me Ma Se Young from now on.
"Ma Se Young?"
Since Ms. Ma adopted me,
instead of taking the late chairman's surname,
I'll take hers, Ma.
What twisted family tree is this?
Does that make you my Ji Ho's aunt?
Did you go from my daughter-in-law to sister-in-law?
Why do you even care about that, Mom?
Neither of you is in the position...
to wonder where you are in the family tree.
Everyone here knows the truth.
Watch what you say, In Ha.
Ms. Ma lied about me not being her grandson.
She's senile and mistaken.
Then let's do another DNA test.
What? Why should we do that?
If you really are Ms. Ma's grandson,
why not take DNA samples in our presence...
and have them tested?
That's not a bad idea.
Wouldn't it be better...
to eliminate possible suspicion?
That's enough, everyone.
I didn't invite you today to debate...
who is or isn't related to whom.
You're here to congratulate me, Ma Se Young, on my new beginning.
I think dinner's ready. Shall we go and eat?
(Yusimwon)
"Ma Se Young?"
It sounds so unfamiliar.
You look happier. Are you pleased?
Yes. I am.
This must be real happiness.
You haven't repented enough...
for stealing and ruining someone else's life.
And you're pleased that Ms. Ma adopted you?
Did you want to brag about this to the couple that canceled your adoption?
Yes.
"I'll never crumble."
"I can fly high whenever I want."
"If you ever look down on me again, you'll pay for it dearly."
"I was born again as Ma Se Young,"
"and soon, I'll become a big and formidable mountain as Ms. Ma."
Do you think this is your new life?
The truth is,
you're just Ms. Ma's puppet.
The more you do this, the lonelier you'll become.
What should I do, then?
I have lived as your daughter since I was 12.
Then you abandoned me.
I can't even go back to being Cha Kang Ju.
But now I can live on as Ms. Ma's daughter.
"Good for you. Congratulations."
"You have my blessing."
Couldn't you just say that?
This isn't something to congratulate or bless.
There's something I want to say to you.
I don't want you to fall any further than you did...
when you were my daughter.
I can see so clearly how cruelly Ms. Ma...
will use you.
Great.
I'll ruin myself for you to see.
I'll show you how far I let her use me.
Don't ruin yourself.
Don't let her use you cruelly.
I'd rather you show her up and ruin them.
Ms. Ma and Ji Ho. Use them cruelly instead.
That's your way out.
Why are you here? The desserts are ready.
I'm coming.
Is Joo Se Young out of her mind?
What? "Ma Se Young?"
She's acting like she's my aunt?
What could she be up to?
What a disgrace, Yoo Ji Ho.
Or is it Kang Ji Ho?
I'm Yoo Ji Ho.
Sure. If that's what you want to believe,
if you think that's your only way out,
then you'll have to call Se Young "Auntie."
As if she's my aunt.
Why not just admit you're not a Yoo?
Then you won't have to call her your aunt,
and you won't have to use Han Byeol to cling to me. Am I wrong?
Do you think I wanted you back just because you were the legitimate heir?
It was for Han Byeol's sake,
plus I feel differently about you.
Your love has deepened?
Yes, I mean it.
It'll turn shallow again soon.
- What do you mean? - You don't need me.
Ma Se Young qualifies just as well to be your insurance policy.
Joo Se Young with no parents meant nothing to you,
but Ms. Ma's adopted daughter Ma Se Young...
should be so enticing. Don't you think?
She's my ex-wife I fell out of love with.
Do you think she'll become a lifeboat overnight...
just because Ms. Ma adopted her?
You went from my mom's fake daughter to Ms. Ma's adoptive daughter.
Do you think living with an assumed identity...
will make you happy?
I wouldn't have had to be adopted by Ms. Ma if your mom...
hadn't abandoned me so coldly.
That's not true.
You deceived her from the start and got found out.
So you went back to being Cha Kang Ju.
I stopped being Cha Kang Ju when I was 12.
I was Joo Se Young for 20 years.
How could you expect me to just go back to being Cha Kang Ju?
Whether you're Cha Kang Ju, Joo Se Young, or Ma Se Young,
you're just you.
Taking a new name won't cover up what you did.
I paid for causing your aunt's death when I didn't have to.
I got out on probation because it was accepted to be a mistake.
It was accepted? By whom?
How dare the law accept what I haven't?
You just used Ms. Ma to find a loophole to get out.
You're still so far off from paying for what you did.
It won't be as easy as before.
Actually, you should just give up thinking you can beat me.
I'll get to work taking everything you took from me.
I'll make you more miserable than you were.
I'll take you on as Joo Se Young or Ma Se Young.
You still have to pay,
and you'll pay for it many times over.
You'll feel more miserable...
than you did when you were in prison after your adoption was canceled.
I'll look for Hye Soo.
This is what dinner parties are like.
Once dessert is served,
we break off into groups to chat and part.
How could Ms. Ma adopt Se Young?
It can't be legal if she has Alzheimer's.
If I think she's going too far,
I'll sue to have the adoption annulled.
To do that, you'll have to prove Ms. Ma actually does have Alzheimer's.
I'm not pleased that Joo Se Young became Ma Se Young,
but I'll tread with caution.
I'll think carefully about what's better for me.
Grandma, Mom, and Dad...
were all invited to dinner,
so I'm treating you instead.
- Isn't the chicken good? - It's tasty.
You clever thing. She speaks so well now.
What's this about Joo Se Young becoming Ma Se Young?
Not around her.
Auntie, where's Uncle In Ha?
Why do you ask? Do you miss him?
Uncle would play with me if Mom and Dad were busy.
Uncle In Ha isn't free tonight either.
Han Byeol. Can I ask you something?
Between Uncle In Ha and Dad...
Who does she like more?
What stupid question is that?
Of course, she likes her dad more.
I like Dad more.
- But... - But what?
Mom likes Uncle In Ha more.
Are you angry about that?
Hello, Grandma.
Han Byeol, did you have dinner?
I'm having chicken with auntie.
My sweet pumpkin,
you speak well enough to talk on the phone now.
Granny will be there soon. Wait where you are.
Are you with Mom and Dad?
Yes, I am,
but...
Han Byeol, Uncle In Ha's here.
Oh? It's Uncle.
- Hello, Uncle. - Hello.
I miss you so much.
- Han Byeol does too. - Really? Thanks.
How can you intercept...
a call with my granddaughter?
Han Byeol, let's get something nice to eat with Mom next time.
Stop it. Something nice what?
Han Byeol.
Yoo In Ha?
Do I have your respect?
I did something you couldn't.
Do you think this is normal?
It isn't?
It's hard to communicate with people who have different values.
In Ha. You weren't Ms. Ma's biological grandson,
but if you still consider her your grandmother,
treat me appropriately.
As your aunt.
That's a first.
I never thought I'd be relieved not to be related to Grandma.
You appealed to her loneliness to make her adopt you.
What are you up to?
Both Ms. Ma and I are lonely people.
Two lonely people decided to become family.
Quit the nonsense.
Then here's some truth.
Listen carefully.
The two grandsons she thought she had...
turned out not to be related to her.
How shocked do you think she was...
that she decided to adopt me?
So what? You used that to become her adoptive daughter?
That's a skill too.
Do you think you have all the power she does?
I will soon.
If you care for Grandma,
take down Ji Ho with your power.
I'm weighing my options.
Seol Yu Gyeong, Hye Soo, and you.
I could attack you three instead.
What do you want to say?
You little...
The circumstances have changed,
but you act like you're above your one-time father?
As Ms. Ma's daughter, Ma Se Young...
ranks above Chairman Yoo Ji Ho.
And Chairman Yoo ranks above Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong.
So Vice-chairwoman Seol's husband and Minister of Justice...
ranks beneath you?
Did you enjoy dinner, Joo?
What did you call me? "Joo?"
Your antics are bordering on arrogance.
Do you...
still think you're my father?
Why do you sound like a father scolding his daughter?
As if.
You're no longer my daughter.
But I once was your father.
You shouldn't act like this.
You were my father?
The memory's as clear as day.
I want to cancel your adoption.
Cancel my adoption?
Your mother has decided to no longer consider you her daughter,
and I also have decided to no longer acknowledge you as my daughter...
as you have committed so many crimes.
You abandoned me when I was at rock bottom, feeling desperate.
Do you think you're Ma Hyun Duk?
She didn't act like this around me at least.
Also, remember you're on probation. You weren't found not guilty.
For three years,
you'd better not do anything to get on my nerves.
Are you threatening Ma Hyun Duk's daughter Ma Se Young?
However upset you are,
you shouldn't treat your one-time father like this.
Don't do anything to turn the Minister of Justice...
into an enemy.
You're the one who should watch your language.
Just because I'm much younger,
you shouldn't talk to me like you would a daughter.
I'm Ms. Ma's daughter now.
We should go.
What?
Yes, let's leave.
Was this why you invited us?
To humiliate us?
The position makes the person.
Ms. Seol, Mr. Joo.
I trust you'll treat me...
as you would Ms. Ma from now on.
The arrogant wench.
What? "Joo?"
She dared to speak to me as if she were Ms. Ma?
That little rat.
This is why they say you shouldn't adopt.
We canceled her adoption,
and that would've hurt her a lot.
She'd have wanted to show us that she made a comeback.
I fed, clothed, and educated her for 20 years.
I let her enjoy the best things in life.
She should try to return the favor.
How could she humiliate me just because I canceled her adoption?
You must be so upset.
She's in her 30s.
She has a lot of growing up to do.
Do you want some tea to help you unwind?
Yes.
Ms. Cho.
What do you need?
Is Yoo Ji Ho back?
He's still at the annex.
You don't need me.
Ma Se Young qualifies just as well to be your insurance policy.
Ms. Ma's adopted daughter Ma Se Young...
should be so enticing.
Even if it comes out that I'm not Ms. Ma's grandson,
my lifeline to staying in power...
doesn't have to be Hye Soo.
Ma Se Young, not Joo Se Young?
Why are you here?
This is my space.
It's none of Joo Se Young's business.
It's Ma Se Young.
You make life so complicated.
Why do you act like a surname means so much?
That's rich, coming from you.
Do you think anyone could care more about a surname than you?
You bet your whole life to go from Kang Ji Ho to Yoo Ji Ho.
And you,
did you bet your whole life to go from Joo Se Young to Ma Se Young?
There is something I must do as I became Ma Se Young.
According to Ms. Ma.
What's that?
Turn you from Yoo Ji Ho into Kang Ji Ho so you crash and burn.
What wouldn't a demented old hag say?
Se Young.
Whether you're Joo Se Young or Ma Se Young,
I can abandon you when I want,
and take you when I want.
The likes of you?
You ditched me so easily,
but you'll never be able to win me back again.
How dare a nephew say he can take his aunt whenever...
Darn you!
You piece of dirt!
Fight all you want.
You'll have to come back to me.
Joo Se Young.
He's out of his mind.
Why did my heart skip a beat?
I should grind him to a pulp.
I have to shred Ji Ho to death.
As Ma Se Young, Ma Hyun Duk's daughter,
I'll eliminate Ji Ho.
Will Ma Se Young...
get rid of Ji Ho for us?
I'm sure that's what Grandma wants.
What if the opposite happens?
Ji Ho will fight back.
What if he manages to bring Se Young to his side?
If they get together like before and oust Ms. Ma,
then attack Ms. Seol, you, and me...
It'll be a much harder fight than when...
we took them on separately.
Se Young and Ji Ho.
We must stop them from joining forces.
Yes.
(Game of Witches)
Ji Ho's trying hard to win back Joo Se Young,
no, Ma Se Young's affection.
Does he think I'll fall for him again?
This written will is now gone. Vanished.
Ji Ho got too greedy and acted rashly.
Hye Soo, you just have to do what I say.
You'll go down anyway.
I'll see to it that you do.
