How have you been?

Not too well, obviously.

You're still such a lousy fighter.

I'm disappointed.

This is driving me crazy.

Darn it!

(Again My Life)

(Episode 3)

Keep your guard up!

Get up! Will you let everyone knock you down all the time?

Sung Jae, we're meeting earlier than we did in my previous life.

May I help you?

Can we have a sparring session?

A sparring session?

Yes.

Here.

He really is strong.

How old are you?

I'm thirty...

I'm 20.

Feel free to work out here. I won't charge you.

Nice, I knew it. You're so generous.

What do you mean?

Do you know me?

Well, I could say I know you now that I've sparred with you.

You have a habit of casually dropping the honorifics.

Everyone's equal in the boxing ring. Get with the times.

How about we spar again outside the ring?

No, thanks.

In any case, please teach me and guide me well.

In this life too,

my favorite MMA instructor.

All right, deal.

Deal!

Hi.

Hey, hi.

Here.

I was waiting for you.

What is this?

I made it.

When someone helps you, always show appreciation.

That is how I was taught.

My goodness. You didn't have to do this.

Oh, one thing. If you think it tastes bad,

it means your taste buds are weird. Just remember that.

Good to know.

All right, thanks for this.

Sure. I'll see you around.

See you.

I'm so popular.

This looks good.

No, this means my taste buds are weird.

Don't be flustered.

Kyu Ri.

Sorry.

Hey, what's that?

By the way, is Kyu Ri here today?

- No. - Didn't you go to the same academy?

- We did. - Try calling her.

I had to send out the announcement but couldn't reach her.

Gosh.

(Chunha Hospital)

It looks like I'd have to drop out of school.

What?

Why?

My dad's business went bankrupt.

Our house is being auctioned off.

My dad collapsed,

and my mom, who's been a stay-at-home mom all her life,

is still in disbelief.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

But you know that you're on a full scholarship, right?

It's not like they'll take care of my dad's hospital bills too.

I have to look after my dad,

so I have no choice.

You can find a way to make it work. You have to finish school.

The situation is a lot worse than you think.

Soon, my family would have to move out and...

I need enough money to put down a deposit on a studio apartment.

What can I do? I need to figure it out.

But you know what? I'm making pretty good money these days.

Guess how much you can charge as a tutor with a perfect CSAT score.

Hello?

Sorry?

Okay.

Yes, I'll be there in a minute.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

I think my dad tripped and fell.

Thanks for your concern, Hee Woo. I'll see you around.

Wait.

This was why I never saw Kyu Ri in my previous life.

Because she had to quit school like this.

Then...

(Seoul Central District Court)

This is my first time visiting the court for an auction.

This feels weird.

Excuse me. Could I get the bid sheet?

Sure, here you go.

There are many great properties.

Excuse me. I'd like one too.

Sure, here.

Let's see.

(Case Number, Type, Address)

This is the apartment complex where Kyu Ri lives.

All right.

Observing this today will give me a rough idea of the range...

of the winning bids and how competitive it is.

Case number 2008-TG-7611.

Sold to Woo Yong Soo for 354,999 dollars.

Again?

Woo Yong Soo?

The name sounds familiar.

He already bought 2 condo units and 3 walk-up apartments.

Most of them at half their market value.

Case number 2008-TG-7913.

- Sold to Woo Yong Soo... - If I buy properties like these...

and manage to generate profit,

I can help Kyu Ri buy back her home...

and even raise money to deal with Cho Tae Sub down the road.

But...

this isn't enough.

Are there secrets to winning an auction?

Keep your guard up! Harder!

Pick up the pace!

Faster!

- Oh, no. My foot... - Get up!

I can't. I'm done.

Come on. Hurry!

Pick up speed!

Faster!

- Hey, what the... - Catch me if you can!

Physical strength, my grades,

- and money. - Let's do one more lap!

I will not neglect anything.

(Patented Technology A)

X owns the rights to a patented technology called A,

but Y used the technology without X's permission...

to manufacture products and sold them.

What kinds of legal actions can X take?

List everything you know.

- Kim Hee Woo? - Yes, sir.

Well...

If X were to approach it as a civil case,

X could claim compensation for damages based on...

Article 750 of the Civil Code and Article 128 of the Patent Act.

X could also file a civil claim based on Article 126...

of the Patent Act, "Right to Seek Injunction Against Infringement,"

and Article 131, "Recovery of Reputation of Patentee,"

or claim compensation for unfairly gained profits...

by the infringer based on Article 741 of the Civil Code.

X could also...

pursue a criminal case against Y for patent infringement...

or violation of X's exclusive use rights.

You sound like a pro.

All right. That's it for today.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

Hey, Hee Woo. The restaurant with the webfoot octopus...

Hee Woo.

Do you have to go to the restroom?

He's fast.

(Court Auction)

Case number 2008-TG-2534.

Sold to Woo Yong Soo for 32,845 dollars.

TG-2637. Sold to Woo Yong Soo...

for 35,910 dollars.

TG-2728. Sold to Woo Yong Soo...

for 52,740 dollars.

Three walk-up apartments.

He did this the last time too.

The market's bad these days. Why is he doing this?

The only way to find out is to check them out and see what's going on.

Goodness.

It's a basement apartment.

(Banma-dong, Gangjung-gu, Seoul)

All the walk-ups he bought are actually basement apartments?

Why?

There's nothing special about this area.

Why did he buy the properties?

What is different about this area?

I really can't figure it out.

(Court Auction)

Sir!

Hello.

I'm a student studying court auctions.

I'm Kim Hee Woo. I go to Hankuk University's law school.

So you'll become a judge or a prosecutor. How can I help you?

I'd like to earn money.

And?

I looked into the properties that you bought last week.

They're all basement apartments, which won't really go up in value.

Even if you were to rent them out, they wouldn't be that lucrative.

Why did you bid for such properties?

I've been racking my brain but can't figure it out.

Then you'll never earn real money.

Besides, I have no reason to tell you my trade secrets.

Sir, could you at least give me a hint?

Did I throw the question at you? Why should I give you a hint?

Look at the map.

The map?

They're all in the same district in Seoul.

Other than that, they have nothing in common.

What could it be?

(Case Number, Type, Address)

(Auctions are a war of nerves.)

Hang on.

They're all located...

Redevelopment.

That was the answer.

It has the potential to be redeveloped...

and become the next up-and-coming neighborhood.

The only plot of land in Seoul that hasn't soared in value yet.

On top of that, they're all basement apartments.

They're cheap, so you can reap high returns.

Yes, it's very simple. You should've known that much.

Sir.

I need your help. Please teach me.

I have no interest in teaching anyone.

Then please allow me...

to observe what you do. Let me watch and learn.

Please, sir.

Do you know what it means to invest in real estate?

It begins with a plot of land,

but you put up a building and plant trees to increase its value.

It's greed.

- Greed? - What happens when you're greedy?

You lose yourself.

Mark my words.

You can't catch the devil unless you become...

an even worse monster.

But how could you achieve success without greed?

And without success, you can't contribute to society.

You can learn to tame your greed and use it for a good cause.

That is nearly impossible.

Sir, look at my eyes.

You have a discerning eye,

so I'm sure you're a good judge of character.

What do you say? You can tell that I'm a very good person, right?

I bet you knew right away...

that I am a righteous man.

What are you, a lunatic?

You're making fun of me while being polite to me.

Fine. Then let me test you.

(Eviction Notice)

It's this building, Basement Unit 1.

- Half an hour would do, right? - Pardon me?

Serve the eviction notice and come out.

Eviction notice?

You mean, kick out the tenant who is currently occupying the property?

That's right.

The tenant must move out within a month at minimum cost.

If you manage to get it done within half an hour,

I'll consider you my teammate.

Well...

When do you think you can move out?

Right.

I understand that this isn't an easy decision.

I don't know what to do.

This is too sudden. What am I supposed to do?

Right, it's still cold.

Sir.

You can go in now.

Here, let me pour you one.

Sure.

Thank you.

May I call you my mentor from now on?

- Sure. - Thank you.

You did a great job earlier.

How did you do it?

I couldn't do it.

It's awful, you know.

So you can't move out,

and it all comes down to money.

That's right. I have no money.

I want to earn money but can't.

What do you mean?

My stupid husband took out loans in my name...

to start a business, but it went bankrupt.

I took up a cash job at a restaurant nearby...

to make ends meet.

But a little while ago,

I got hurt while working in the kitchen,

so I can't even work anymore.

You really are in a bad situation.

So where could I go if I were to move out?

I looked into declaring personal bankruptcy,

but the lawyer asked for 1,500 dollars as an up-front fee.

- You want to file for bankruptcy? - That's right.

Ma'am.

I can help you file for bankruptcy...

so you can start working again.

You can help me? How?

I'm attending Hankuk University's law school.

I can definitely help you with it, for free.

- Really? - Yes.

Then would you be able to move out within a month?

I see, so you didn't really do much.

Right.

All right. Results are what matters.

So? Why do you want to earn money?

I want to be prepared for what is to come.

You're preparing for the future? That's nice.

But there's something that you should know.

Delivering an eviction notice is rarely this easy.

Some tenants would even swing a knife at you.

That's what it's like to invest in real estate.

Of course, most of them are struggling financially,

but you have no choice but to ruthlessly kick them out.

That's why I said you become greedy and lose your humanity...

when you invest in real estate.

Like you said, it's awful.

I want to change it so it's not awful.

I think I can do it if I run around a little more.

While obeying the law and upholding justice.

You're very ambitious.

- Here. - Cheers, sir.

You said you had to catch the bus here, right?

Yes, sir.

Good work today.

Sir.

Yes?

Well...

There's an auction property that I have to buy.

Is there a way to guess the winning bid?

Is there a reason you must purchase that property?

Someone's future depends on it.

The global financial crisis...

is spurring mergers and acquisitions among financial institutions.

The dynamics among domestic banks will change...

depending on who acquires Bando Bank,

which is currently listed for sale.

Reporter Kim Se Hee has more on the story.

Dad, are you okay?

I told you to just ask me to get it for you.

I'll be your hands and feet until you recover.

You must be tired.

You should go home.

I'll go home when Mom gets here. Don't worry.

Do you want a leg massage?

How does this feel?

Does it feel nice?

Hey, what's up?

I want to buy an apartment at an auction,

but it can't be done in my name.

At an auction?

My goodness. You're such a busy bee.

But I haven't achieved anything meaningful yet.

I want to help someone.

Who?

My friend's home is being auctioned off.

It's a lot of money. You're willing to spend it on a friend?

Thanks to this friend of mine, I was able...

to get into Hankuk University.

Did your friend ask you for help?

No, she doesn't know.

And I want to keep it that way.

You thought this over, right?

Yes.

All right. What can I do to help?

Why are there so many people today?

(Complete your bid form here.)

I feel like everyone is after Kyu Ri's place.

Should I submit a higher amount?

There is a mistake...

that most auction beginners make. Do you know what it is?

Beginners are easily influenced by the courtroom atmosphere.

They feel like everyone in the courtroom...

will bid for the property they chose,

so they get anxious.

Yes, I need to stay calm.

I've checked everything already.

(Complete your bid form here.)

(Bid Form)

Case number 2008-TG-9931.

Sold to Lee Ok Soon for 240,000 dollars.

Case number 2008-TG-8092.

This is it. Please...

Please.

- Sold to Kang Min Seok... - Yes!

for 235,000 dollars.

Sir!

Thank you, sir.

Thanks to you, I managed to win the property at the auction.

Why are you thanking me?

From now on, you should take credit for everything that happens...

at these auctions.

Even when things go wrong?

Yes. That will help me put my mind at ease.

You silly goose.

In any case, she is the top student in the country.

And she's a great person.

Most importantly, protecting such a bright talent...

is a patriotic act, don't you think?

That's none of my business. Today, we have to...

serve an eviction notice on a tenant who can't get a single penny...

because they never submitted a move-in notification.

Okay.

When can you move out?

Can't you give us a little more time?

We didn't receive our dividend, so we have no money.

Your situation is unfortunate,

but you can't expect me to wait forever.

If you move out within this month,

I'll pay for your moving fee.

But once the month is over,

it'll be tough for me to help you out,

since I pay interest to the bank too.

Can you please wait until we find another home?

Or else we will end up in the streets.

I have requested the court...

for a compulsory execution.

Compulsory execution?

I can no longer delay this.

But I will pay for the electricity and water...

you have been using until now.

Okay. I understand.

What are your thoughts?

- Pardon? - I mean the mother and daughter.

From what I've heard, her husband is in prison,

and she has no family that can help.

She's apparently barely making a living by...

working odd jobs at the market.

To be honest,

I feel bad.

Who do you feel bad for?

Me or that woman?

- Of course, it is... - What's there to think about?

- It should obviously be me. - Pardon?

That place has officially been auctioned off to me.

I have rights to that house.

But that woman used her story...

to infringe on my rights.

I never received even a penny for the deposit or monthly rent.

But I offered to pay for her utility bill and moving costs.

Even though she wasn't my tenant.

So how could you say that you feel bad for her?

Do you remember what I said is the key to real estate?

It begins with a plot of land,

but you put up a building and plant trees to increase its value.

It's greed.

Greed?

What happens when you're greedy?

Yes, you said it was to lose yourself.

That's right. If you started for the money, just look at the money.

If you start looking at other things you can't do real estate.

Throw away all your useless emotions and just chase after profit.

If you do, you'll get your hands on big money.

Compassion is forbidden when it comes to eviction.

Your goodwill can come back to bite you.

It's good to help, but if it fails,

the person who received your help will start clawing at you.

That will wound you,

and once you lose all your blood from being wounded countless times,

you stop being human.

You become numb to sorrow.

Other people's tears become a nuisance and will only annoy you.

By that time, you're already a devil and a beast.

I already knew it,

but reality is much more cruel and merciless.

Maybe if I work harder,

I could make it a little better.

(Monthly Rent, Across from Jung-gu Office.)

(Lease, Banma Intersection)

Is anybody home?

What brings you back?

I had something to tell you.

I noticed you didn't have much bulky furniture.

You should move using a delivery van.

- I will help you. - What?

Also, call Mr. Woo tomorrow.

Tell him you'll move out in two days and ask for 500 dollars more.

I'm sure he will agree to that.

I don't quite understand.

(Nara Real Estate Agency)

Here. It's a real estate agency by the subway station.

There's a home on the market.

You just need to pay an extra 500 dollars on top of the moving cost.

It came up on the market today, so you can move in immediately.

Oh, so this...

To be honest, the home has some issues.

But I'll fix everything up before you move in.

So you won't be uncomfortable.

You didn't have to.

But thank you.

Oh, gosh.

Sir.

How much more money did you tell her to take from me?

I told her 500 dollars.

I heard there's an affordable home down there,

so I let her know.

She said she'll move out soon.

That's a relief then.

Be careful.

If you help them out all the time,

you might go bankrupt yourself.

Yes, sir. I will be mindful.

Your method of finding a home for them isn't bad.

They wouldn't come after someone who helped them that way.

You will and you already are doing well in life.

And you'll continue to do so.

- Hey, Hee Woo. - Yes?

How much do you want to make?

For me...

This and...

that.

And also...

that over there. I just need enough money to buy those things.

Those are all Chunha Electronics, Chunha Motors,

and Chunha Constructions.

You're saying you'll have Chunha in the palm of your hands?

Yes. I need to take over Chunha...

in order to stop Cho Tae Sub.

Here.

You'll start to see a boom in redevelopment in Seoul.

You'll get big money if you let it grow for a few years.

Keep it safe in your pocket.

I will, sir.

As you can see,

the man has enough land and homes to build a small apartment complex.

Luck must be on your side.

It's all owned by one person, which makes life easier for you.

Things should go smoothly then.

Also, Mr. Han looked into him more, it turns out...

he has multiple apartments and commercial stores around the area.

He has a total of 200 million dollars in assets.

It'll be around 100 million dollars if you exclude his debt.

You're in finance, Mr. Park.

You know the steps you need to take, right?

Shall I take everything?

He seemed to be quite old.

Help him to use his assets nobly...

for his country for the last time.

Leave him with a home he can reside in.

Yes, I'll see to it right away.

(Personal Information)

[VIU Ver] SBS E03 'Again My Life'
"The Master Of Auctions"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Kyu Ri, it's you.

Thank you.

She was a real smart one.

She asked me a bunch of questions on behalf of her mom.

I broke some sweat answering them.

Anyway, I worked out the auction and her father's medical bills well.

I can't do much now,

but I'm going to pay you back with interest later.

That's enough. Just focus on the class, okay?

It's almost midterms soon.

Oh, you're right.

I'm going to have to camp out at the library starting today.

- You're going to help me, right? - Sure thing.

I will help you.

- You're Kim Kyu Ri, right? - Who are you?

Me? I'm the student president, Park Seung Wan.

I've been wanting to meet you.

Perfect score on your CSAT and the top student in the country.

Oh, okay.

Right. It'll be best to receive tips and announcements...

about school from Seung Wan.

He's the hardest-working president in our department.

That's all true.

He gave a short introduction,

but the more you know me you'll know I work on many meaningful things.

I see.

I hope we get along.

Yes, it's nice to meet you, Seung Wan.

Are you kidding me?

Do you always wait for the right time to appear?

Everything requires effort, you punk.

Gross!

Gosh, are you kidding me?

Who's this?

I wake up from a nap and there's a new face.

I'm a freshman but today's my first day in school.

Why are you being so polite? I'm a freshman like you.

I'm a little shy, sir.

Don't be polite. There's no need to be humble.

We're all your friends, just like Hee Woo.

I'm Lee Min Soo. You can talk comfortably, my friend.

No, it's fine. I'll just speak politely, sir.

Why?

I think I'll feel more comfortable that way, sir.

She's even calling me "sir". I'm a little hurt.

Don't joke around like that.

My name is Kim Kyu Ri. Please accept my bow.

No, I can't accept your bow.

Why is everyone so hard to talk to here?

Hey, I didn't know you could joke around.

I'm not joking.

Accept my bow.

Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't bow.

Fine, I'll accept it. But you need to accept mine too.

You know only married people bow to each other, right?

How long have I been tutoring you?

My gosh.

Why, what is it? Is there a problem?

I seriously tried my best.

I mean, your head.

I guess it wasn't completely empty.

Look at you flapping your jaws. Do you have a death wish?

You're amazing. Good job.

- Are you serious? - Yes.

If you continue to improve at this speed...

you could even aim for a university in Seoul.

That's a no-brainer.

I'm going to go to Hankuk University.

What? Really?

I know it's a stretch.

It's not. You have a good foundation so you're advancing pretty quickly.

Once you get a good grasp of the concept,

you'll be able to get into Hankuk University too.

I'm your living proof.

- Do you mean it? - Yes.

I did it so you can too.

Okay, teacher.

(Important announcement today during dinner time)

What is the important announcement?

- First, pour me a glass. - Yes, sir.

Did something good happen?

More. Give me more. A little more.

Your mom and I decided to open a jjimdak restaurant.

What? That's so random.

We signed the contract today.

Everyone's opening a fried chicken restaurant, but I chose jjimdak.

I'm going to cultivate a red ocean for it.

I wanted the nation's people to know how delicious chicken can be,

even if it's not deep-fried.

Bring lots of friends over once we open the restaurant.

They'll get an 80 percent discount.

- What did you say? - They'll get a 50 percent discount.

- Are you crazy? - A four percent discount.

There will be no discounts. It's a flat rate.

I'll give them a lot of free food.

Okay.

Our family jjimdak recipe has always been amazing.

I support your decision.

Here. Have a drink.

Jjimdak.

Are you serious? You only poured one glass?

My bad.

- Toast to jjimdak. - Jjimdak.

I'm going to show off to mom about how my grades improved.

He told me to escort you.

- Take it. - What is it?

It's your college tuition.

Your mom asked for it. Take it.

I heard you're studying hard these days.

You're smart like me, so I'm sure you'll get into any school.

Go shopping for yourself with the leftover money.

Why are you just standing there? Say okay and accept it.

Okay.

You're no longer hanging out with thugs, right?

Don't ever let me get involved with something like that again.

Don't turn out to be an unfilial child...

who holds her parents back.

Did you come to beg my father again?

- What? - Why do you act so pathetically?

Do you want me to help you get easy money?

Just like your mom?

Stay out of my sight.

I feel disgusted whenever I see you come begging at our home.

What a bunch of parasites.

How about you spray more pesticide so parasites can't get in, you scum.

What?

You little...

I'm a lowborn, so my job is to skin animals.

What do you say? Shall I skin you too?

Kim Han Mi.

"Lowborn" what?

Don't ever go around saying that.

Are you not going to apologize?

Apologize.

I'm sorry.

Kim Hee Woo.

Come quickly.

Hey, Han Mi.

Oh, there's my teacher.

Gosh. Why did you drink so much by yourself?

Excuse me, ma'am.

Please give us one more glass.

An order of chicken feet too.

It's my treat today, so eat up.

You see,

I've got lots of money today.

Where'd you get that money?

Don't tell me...

It's not from extortion.

Or maybe it is.

That guy might think I extorted it from him.

Or...

did I beg for it?

What do you mean, "that guy?"

You saw him at the police station.

The deputy chief prosecutor.

I'm his illegitimate child.

I had expected it. Turns out I was right.

You know,

I didn't want to take that money.

I really didn't want to.

I'm having trouble understanding this.

Which one?

Here.

This part about rape in criminal law.

Do you mean aggravated rape? This one here?

Yes.

Okay, let's see.

With aggravated rape,

it's not about whether the person can kill or not.

It's aggravated rape if it's a threat to the other person.

That's hard.

If you remain calm, I won't kill you.

Follow me quietly.

You startled me, sir.

I told you to follow me.

Okay, cut. That's enough.

Was that good enough, Director?

It was very nice, Min Soo.

So how did you feel just now? You were scared, right?

A little at first.

So if the person being threatened...

dies or feels threatened by...

something even like this pen,

which isn't seen as a weapon...

That means it is aggravated rape.

In this case, evidence is crucial.

I see. Thank you, sir.

Let me know if you need more help.

Wasn't my scenario great?

Hey, Hee Woo. Should I try out for the department of theater and film?

Let me practice my theatrical voice.

- Is that not funny? - No.

I have a unique face that's rare in Korea.

Okay, Min Soo. Please quietly disappear...

with that unique face of yours.

You're a mean one.

You're a mean friend.

Kyu Ri. Would you like me to explain armed robbery now?

No, thank you, sir.

Why are you so serious?

It's because I am.

- I see. - Min Soo.

Gosh, you scared me.

- Can I see you for a minute? - What is it?

Did you do something to upset Kang Jin?

He's not the type to call someone out separately.

Just get on his good side no matter what.

I'll try to take your side if I can.

It's my job as the president.

(Law School Student Council Room)

Come in.

Oh, hey. You're here.

Welcome, Kim Hee Woo.

- You can leave. - Pardon?

Your job is done, so you can leave.

Okay.

Sit down. Make yourself comfortable.

Okay. Thank you.

(Hankuk University Law School Student Council)

The professors praise you a lot.

No, they're just being nice.

There's no need to act humble, kid.

Everyone is smart here.

But everyone says you're special.

Which is why I'd like you to join our student council.

- What? - You know that our seniors...

paved the way for us in the law field, right?

Out of all the students, the path laid out for...

us student council members is a highway.

I see. I'm not sure I can do a good job though.

You're not only smart but careful too.

I knew I liked you.

Let's go. We can't keep him waiting.

Your guest is here.

- Hello, sir. - Hey.

Hello, sir. I'm Kim Hee Woo. I'm a freshman now.

I see. Sit down.

Yes, sir.

- Your first impression isn't bad. - Thank you.

Kang Jin told you about our club, right?

Pardon? Club?

No. I haven't told him yet.

I thought it would be better coming from you.

Is that so?

- Kim Hee Woo. - Yes.

We decided to accept you as a member of a secret law club.

A secret law club?

That's right. As for our secret law club,

even the law majors at Hankuk University...

don't know about it.

However, this private club has been around for a very long time.

You know that the alumni have a very close bond, right?

Yes, I am aware.

People say it's an old-boy network and so on.

But our secret club goes beyond the old-boy network.

Why do you think we want smart juniors?

It's because those promising juniors who start from the bottom...

always pose threats to the people at the top.

But what if we were to single out promising juniors in advance...

and help them walk the solid path we have already paved?

A competent senior who holds a key position...

can help them build their resumes with all the right moves.

He will secure the position until the juniors climb up...

and pass it on to them.

The juniors will follow the seniors...

and put pressure on the others, so they can't climb up the ladder.

What do you say?

Thank you.

Why would anyone say no to that? Right?

It's a win-win situation for both parties.

Let's drink.

People who have held important positions...

such as the Minister of Justice,

Prosecutor General, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and so on...

are members of our club.

That's it.

I made it very simple for you. You understood everything, right?

The way you put it was very simple and neat.

Thank you.

What do you think? Aren't you excited?

- Yes. - A membership to this club...

is like being on the national team for archers.

Joining the national team...

is harder than winning a medal at the Olympics.

Gosh. That's a perfect analogy.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for your generous opinion of me.

I will do my best not to disappoint you...

and live up to your expectations of me.

Look at this guy. I like your guts.

Thank you, sir.

To show you my gratitude, allow me to pour you a drink.

Sure. Go ahead.

- I hope to get along with you. - All right.

Hey, he's pretty cool.

All right. Today is a good day.

- Thank you. - Sure.

- Let's do this right. - Yes, sir.

Cheers.

Gosh. It's an honor and it brings me so much joy...

that I can join you.

Look at this guy.

Choi Kang Jin, you really found us a good one this time.

Goodness. You know that I'm a good judge of character.

- So you get to pick new recruits. - That's right.

Anyway, now that I'm a prosecutor,

everyone wants to get a meeting with me.

It's exhausting.

I bet.

Your job must be so taxing.

Hey, I'll tell you a secret.

Have you heard of DH Money?

DH Money?

- You know... - Park Dae Ho is the CEO.

It's the agency Cho Tae Sub uses to manage his money.

They are launching a new project on the edge of Songpa.

They will redevelop the neighboring area of Gyeonggi Province.

Mr. Woo's properties are clustered there.

- Those are scary people. - I knew it.

They already have a target in mind.

There's this guy who owns...

the most land and properties in that neighborhood.

He's the master of auctions. His name is Woo Yong Soo.

They said they were going to get rid of him first.

After getting rid of him in one go,

they can start the redevelopment project.

Then it'll only be a matter of time...

before they make hundreds of millions of dollars.

- I must stop them. - Isn't that just amazing?

I'm sorry. I really am.

It won't be long until we meet again, honey.

I'll see you then.

Hey, punk. Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?

What?

You want me to sell off all of my properties?

Yes. And I want you to sell them as soon as possible.

Why?

I heard it from a prosecutor, an alumnus of my school.

DH Money is after your land and properties.

Why do they want my properties?

As you expected,

the area will be redeveloped.

Right. I was rarely wrong.

I think politicians are backing up DH Money.

Those jerks.

I get what you're implying.

But that won't be easy.

When you bought the properties, you took out a loan, right?

Yes, I did.

What if they were to increase the interest rate to the maximum?

To the point that you can't pay the interest.

And once you can't pay it back,

they will be auctioned off right away.

And they will be buying your properties dirt cheap.

In the end, they will make you go bankrupt.

I took out a loan from Bando Bank.

My loan has nothing to do with DH Money.

You know that the banks are going through merges these days.

DH Money has funds from Japan.

Acquiring Bando Bank won't even be that hard for them.

On top of that, politicians are backing them.

They will make it look like everything is done legally.

Just to get some properties from an old man?

Because they know the value of your land.

Fine. Yes. I can see it happening in my head.

So I should sell everything off now, right?

Yes.

And when you transfer the deeds, you must do it at once.

- Why? - Now that you're their target,

I'm sure they are keeping an eye on your assets.

If they find out...

that you are trying to sell off your properties...

They won't let me be?

Right.

I don't know what they will do.

DH Money started as a money lending business.

Are you saying they would even kidnap me?

They might even lock you up, so you can't pay back the loan.

Before you were able to save your friend's life...

It was all thanks to you.

Now, you are here to save mine.

In my previous life, Cho Tae Sub...

made a fortune by investing in redevelopment projects...

and making speculative investments in real estate.

He committed heinous crimes...

of stealing people's assets by manipulating the banks.

And several real magnates were harmed.

The police were searching for a man who jumped at the Han River at dawn.

And a police officer found the body of a man in his 70s.

The body belonged to Woo Yong Soo, the master of auctions.

And the master of auctions, Woo Yong Soo, was one of them.

He went bankrupt when the bank demanded he pay the loan back...

and faced a tragic death.

I will protect Mr. Woo.

(Evergreen Real Estate)

(Real Estate Sale Contract)

(Woo Yong Soo)

Are you sure you'll sell everything off?

I'll transfer the deeds on the same day.

Okay.

But are you sure you won't regret it?

And I want the money...

in my account at Nara Bank, not Bando Bank.

Goodness.

You'll regret it later.

(Evergreen Real Estate)

I guess I'm in this predicament...

because I will be joining you pretty soon.

DH Money successfully acquired Bando Bank.

Yes. After the merger between DH Money and Bando Bank,

we have set up a way...

to become the number one financial institution in Korea.

We, DH Money, will always look out for the people...

and lead the institution to bring benefits to the people.

What did you say, you jerk?

Are you kidding me? He sold off all the houses overnight?

How could you fail to keep an eye on that old man?

- I'm sorry. - You're sorry?

Sorry? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on him?

I didn't take any action as I didn't see any movements.

So we just lost our chance to make 100 million dollars?

I just acquired Bando Bank. And everything was set up.

But now, our target is gone, you fools!

(Director Han)

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea that the old fox, Woo Yong Soo, would be this fast.

It's fine.

In life, we all make mistakes.

Use this as a lesson, and don't make the same mistake.

This will never happen again. I am truly sorry, sir.

Enough with the apology. Get up.

The only thing that changed is that instead of one property owner,

we have several property owners to deal with.

Our goal hasn't changed. Right?

Yes, sir. I will never make mistakes next time.

You can go now.

Yes, sir.

Will you forgive Mr. Park?

A man with a big picture...

can't start a project with only one option in mind...

because the project may face other variables.

He ought to see things on a much bigger scale and farther.

If I make 1 billion dollars by investing 100 million dollars,

I will still be making money.

I was shortsighted.

Director Han.

I read the file from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Yes, sir.

An intelligent advisor...

would take an initiative before asking questions like Director Han.

People said politicians who were good with money...

would ruin the country.

But in this day and age, if you are not good with money,

you can't be a leader.

Look at the US. They are printing money to make profits.

You can't hold power if you don't know the flow of money.

Money is power now.

I'll bear that in mind, sir.

Woo Yong Soo.

Was this pure luck?

- Sir, here. - Don't mind me.

I'm going to pour drinks for myself today.

I see. Okay.

Today is my birthday.

I want to celebrate...

my birthdays instead of working before I leave this world.

What do you think about this place? It's my favorite spot.

I live in this neighborhood.

But the view from here is pretty nice.

The houses you see now will turn into apartments.

And this mountain we are on now...

will be replaced with luxury low-rise apartments.

Probably.

Looks like you already knew that.

Pardon?

Oh, no. Not at all.

Stop it.

You have good insight for the future.

And you are smart too.

Use your abilities for something good.

Right.

This is what I'm left with. Take it.

What's this?

I want you to manage it from now on.

(Nara Bank)

(Account Holder: Woo Yong Soo)

What... Sir.

Your insight helped me protect that money.

I'm reinvesting that in you.

- But... - The fact that we crossed paths...

and I was able to keep my money thanks to you...

must be a sign from the universe.

Use that money to make more money. And see if you can take over...

Chunha like you wanted.

Money can do its job when the right man has it.

Here. Take a drink.

Okay.

Auctions are like doing comprehensive arts.

You need to foresee the future by analyzing the regions,

calculate the profits,

and use the law to avoid loss aversion.

And you get to feel the thrill when you win the bidding...

and play the minds of the tenants.

You must be able to see the big picture...

and move according to your plan.

Instead of aggressively buying buildings...

that come with high risks,

you should buy buildings that are stable to minimize risks.

That's the principle of auctions I have followed.

I see. I should develop insight...

to pick out the most stable property based on future values?

That's it, right?

Yes.

Don't get tunnel-visioned. Look at the entire forest.

Pay attention to the speed of the redevelopment projects.

And see what people want and where they are headed.

My wife...

passed away when I was traveling all over Korea...

because I was crazy about real estate.

She kept telling me her stomach hurt.

But I didn't think much of it.

I only bought her digestive pills.

But it was cancer.

She could have lived...

if I brought her to the hospital sooner.

When I observe you, one thing worries me.

What is it?

When I first saw you,

your eyes reminded me of myself a long time ago.

You were crazy about something.

Don't let that consume you.

If you do, you will lose yourself.

Sir, let me pour you a drink.

Happy birthday, sir.

The fact that we crossed paths...

and I was able to keep my money thanks to you...

must be a sign from the universe.

A sign from the universe?

- Our alumnus is giving a lecture. - Look at that.

There he comes again. Gosh.

He's coming to our school.

You're that desperate to hang out with us?

- It's April 8. - What's that?

(Dear Youth, Get a Goal and Make It Come True!)

"Dear youth, get a goal."

That's today.

- Should we go check it out? - What?

Join us, sir.

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub graduated from our school.

I won't go even if I get paid for it.

- Same here. - You startled me.

It's Computer Engineering Major Kim Hee A who I saved in my heart.

- I don't like him, Cho Tae Sub. - Right?

Let's go.

He said he would give us a word of wisdom. How grateful.

- Shall we? - Yes.

You're going?

How about day drinking?

How did you know I don't have a part-time job today?

You made an offer I can't resist.

Let's go.

You have money, right?

- Right here. - Yes.

(Dear Youth, Get a Goal and Make It Come True!)

It's packed here.

He's the only assemblyman in Korea who doesn't get criticized.

There he is.

He's here!

It's been a while, Cho Tae Sub.

Let's see what kind of nonsense you're going to tell us.

That woman...

If you get close to Cho Tae Sub,

you might meet me.

The Grim Reaper?

(Again My Life)

Cho Tae Sub won't just keep anyone around him.

Why don't you take this program?

Haha Talk?

This time, I will be faster.

And I will bring you down little by little.

Who's getting in my way?

The only way to stand up to them...

is to face it head-on.

I like catching a large group of stones in one go.

Join me.

I remembered...

who you were.
