SPOOKY IN LOVE

Man, it's nice and cool in here.

Hold on. Why am I avoiding him?

Gosh, you startled me.

Mr. Ma?

Hello.

Where's Yeo-ri?

EPISODE 10

Gang-uk.

What are you doing here?

I got on the first flight
after we talked last night.

Wait, you can't…

We're wearing gloves.

Let's at least hold hands like this.

If I see ghosts again, so be it.

I heard from Ms. Eom
that the meeting didn't go well.

That's right.

I've been feeling so out of place
ever since I got here.

I can't let you feel that way.

Yeo-ri.

I haven't eaten anything all day
and I'm starving.

Can we eat before we head back?

I didn't even eat on the plane.

We can do that.

Let's go.

What should we eat?

-Do you like it?
-Yeah.

-You must've been starving.
-Very starving.

Here.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Can you feed me?

It feels like we're eating underwater.
This is fun.

To me, it feels like
the fish are watching us eat.

That might be how it is for them.

Oh, right.

I brought this.

Thank you.

I didn't think you'd bring it yourself.

I was only hoping you'd
pass it along to Mr. Bong.

I'm touched.

I couldn't just pass it along
when it's something you need.

You went through all that trouble
to bring this to me,

but I don't know if I can give it to her.

It's not over yet, so let's wait a bit.

Hyeong-min might have some good news.

Hyeong-min?

He's the best at digging up information.

I dare say he's better than
most intelligence agencies.

I also did some digging myself.

You said Ms. Han seemed averse
when you mentioned her family.

Her dispute with her brother
was more serious than we thought.

I found a few articles about them.

Hey, Hyeong-min.

Mr. Ma, I did some more digging.

It looks like Ms. Han posts photos
from the same spot after her exhibitions.

She's posted similar photos
about three times,

and she just posted another one.

-Where is that?
-It looks like

a riverside location in Singapore.

There's a bridge in the photos
and I looked it up.

Turns out, it's a big tourist photo spot.

Right, so where is that?

I'll send you the photos and coordinates.

Okay.

-I think he found her.
-He did?

-Yeah.
-Oh, Mr. Ma.

Yeah?

I went down a rabbit hole
from her social media account

and came across some kind of forum.

I'll send that too. Take a look.

Okay, thanks. I'll have a look.

PETITION AGAINST
CHAEUM ARTRION'S DESTRUCTION

It might be quicker to find this river.

Yeah, the river.

Let's see. Is that a church in the back?

-We can compare the buildings.
-Okay.

This building is right here.

I think we're around the right place.

Over there.

Yeah, that's it.

That's her.

-Let's go up to her.
-Okay.

Why did you come looking for me?

Will you please hear me out?

You must think I want to stay on at Reina

because I'm reluctant
to give up my position as CEO.

But the true reason I want to stay

is because of something called Siena Hall.

Siena Hall?

It's Reina's wedding venue.

My dad built it,

and my mom managed it.

They both passed away many years ago,

so I always needed

something to hold on to.

That was Siena Hall.

To me, it's a place

that holds the memories
I shared with my parents.

Just like

Chaeum Artrion is to you.

I believe I told you

to leave my family out of this.

I hope you don't get the wrong idea.

We're only trying to tell you

that there's a way to solve your problem.

My problem?

I heard your brother took on a huge debt
while expanding the business too much.

That you might lose Chaeum Artrion
to property speculators.

Ms. Han,

your own father designed
and built that space.

Don't you want to protect it?

You're right.

My brother inherited the place
after our father passed away.

It's true that Chaeum Artrion
is special to me.

I actually tried several times
to buy the property myself,

but they refused to hand it over
unless I repaid my brother's debt in full.

And because of the legal dispute,

my brother and I
are worse than sworn enemies now.

It must've been so tough for you.

How exactly

are you saying you can solve this problem?

We'll have Chaeum Artrion

designated as a nationally registered
cultural heritage site.

Then regardless of who owns it,

no one will be able
to damage the property.

Just a moment.

Chaeum Artrion is only 45 years old.

An asset must be at least 50 years old

to be nationally registered
as cultural heritage.

The government recently implemented

an Act on the Conservation and Utilization
of Modern and Contemporary

Cultural Heritage.

If an asset would qualify

for national registration
as cultural heritage at 50 years,

but needs protection now
because it's at risk of being damaged,

it can be designated
as preliminary cultural heritage.

If you see here,

there's already a precedent.

NOVELIST YUN HAE-SEOK'S "WRITING CHAIR"
DESIGNATED PRELIMINARY CULTURAL HERITAGE

Do you really think it's possible?

For it to be designated
as preliminary cultural heritage?

This is how the public reacted
when they heard

that Chaeum Artrion could become damaged.

There are many people

who'd be heartbroken
to see the place run down,

just like you and me.

The culture and arts community
has already been shedding light on this.

If the architecture community
backs public opinion,

I'm sure it'll be possible.

Let's say Chaeum Artrion is designated
as a preliminary cultural heritage site.

What about after that?

The property will still need maintenance.

Reina will acquire it.

You'll acquire the property?

If your brother hands it over
to Reina Cultural Foundation

instead of selling it
to property speculators,

we'll conserve and run it
as an art and cultural space.

Of course,
we'd expect you to be in charge.

Okay. I understand your point.

I must say I'm tempted.

But…

let's say I decide to side with you.

How can I be sure that my 3%
will be enough for you to win?

Three percent.

I'll get the papers signed by morning
and attend the general meeting.

Then Cheon Yeo-ri will
no longer have a hold on Reina.

I'll see you back in Korea.

What if

something else were to come up

and you lose your position
at the general meeting?

I'd lose my chance to double my investment

and the hope you gave me
to save my father's work.

I'm sharing my will and purpose with you.

Because without will,

nothing will ever change.

I will make it happen.

I just need you

to side with me this time.

This is a huge wager for me.

Give me some time to think.

Take this.

It's a gift I prepared

just for you, Ms. Han.

I hope you like it.

Goodbye.

She never gave a clear answer.

Still, you did your best.

Let's give it some time.

You're worried, aren't you?

Hey, Hyeong-min.

Hello? Mr. Ma, did you find the place?

Thanks to you,
we met her and got to talk to her.

Thanks so much.

If you're grateful,
will you bring back some gifts?

Investigator Ko is pretty upset

that you took time off
without telling him.

You're…

Okay. I'll come back
with lots of presents.

We'll look forward to it.

Okay. Thanks.

Sure. Have a good…

-Hyeong-min did a great deal.
-He did.

Yeo-ri, I need to buy gifts
for Hyeong-min and Pil-dong.

Can you help me pick them out?

You have a great eye and sense of style.

Pick something for my grandma too.

We fly out tomorrow morning,
so we have the time, don't we?

Let's do that.

Okay. Let's go.

I'll buy the presents.

Nice. I'm going to buy lots of stuff.

-What's that? It's a palace.
-Yeah.

The key chains are really pretty.

I'll buy you one, Yeo-ri.
I can afford this much.

-These ones…
-I want everything from here to here.

Wow, look at this mural.

Man, this would be perfect for Madam Pang.

What do you think, Yeo-ri?

-Which one looks nice?
-How about this one?

Is it a bit too…

One for Pil-dong, and one for Hyeong-min.

He must want to dress you up.

-Gosh.
-No, this is…

What's wrong?

That scared me.

Don't you think
your grandmother would like this?

For you?

I want to wear this at home.
I'll get one of these too.

I love it.

Aren't you hot, Yeo-ri?

How about some ice cream?

-I want to try yours.
-Yeah?

Me too.

-One, two, three.
-One, two…

Tastes like soy-pickled onions.

Put them back.

Okay.

Yeo-ri.

A noodle place.

That one looks good.

Xiaolongbao and dumplings.

Man, the chickens here are huge.

Do you prefer fried chicken
with or without seasoning?

-With seasoning.
-Really?

We don't match. I prefer it without.

Goodness, the prawns are massive.

Man, it looks delicious.

Yeo-ri, we got everything we ordered.

-We did?
-Yeah.

Gosh, this is a lot of food.

-Let's stuff our faces tonight.
-Okay.

You haven't eaten well
since you came, right?

I have. I've been eating.

No, you haven't.
Your face is half its size.

That won't do.

This place is known for its skewers.

This one. Try it.

-A skewer?
-You said you like seasoning,

so make sure to dip it in this.

I saw this on TV
and always wanted to try it.

Aren't you glad we came?

Let's cheers to that.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

My gosh, I'm full.

I ate too much.

-Did you enjoy it?
-Yeah.

-Did you enjoy it too?
-Yes.

The weather's gotten nicer.

It has. I was sweating so much earlier.

It's not as bad now.

This is really nice.

-Gang-uk.
-Yeah?

Thank you so much.

I'm glad you're here

with me.

Gosh, it's the least I can do.

Are you really okay? You don't see them?

I haven't seen them yet,
so I'll probably be fine.

What's wrong? Do you see them?

Yes.

I think I do.

I see nothing but you.

I wanted to get a room on the same floor,

but they were fully booked.

This is my room.

This is it?

Oh, so this is it.

Well… Okay.

Well then…

Get some rest. I'll be going.

Want to come in for a cup of tea?

Yes.

-Come inside.
-Okay.

Yeo-ri.

I think you picked out the perfect gift.

Madam Pang will love it.

What are you thinking about?

Actually, yesterday…

I remembered something.

About what?

Before I fell into the water,

Ji-hwan put a necklace on me.

He said it was really special to him.

But I think I lost it.

There was something he told me,

and I can't get it out of my head.

Yeo-ri.

Don't let it weigh you down.

Let's take it slow, one step at a time.

We made an amazing discovery today anyway.

Like what?

We can hold hands if we're wearing gloves.

Seeing that I don't see any ghosts yet,

doesn't that mean we're safe?

I guess so.

Why don't you see any ghosts?

I wonder why.

Maybe if there's something

between our hands when we touch,

that makes it okay?

Warmth?

Maybe if we share warmth
through our hands,

that makes you see ghosts too?

Could it be that?

You have a point.

Warmth.

Yeo-ri.

There's something
I wanted to tell you for a while now.

You know,

if it means I can be with you,

I don't mind seeing ghosts.

So from now on…

I'm really grateful to you
for saying that, Gang-uk.

But seeing someone I love

suffer because of me…

isn't what I want.

Yeo-ri.

What are you doing?

You're up.

Have a seat. I'm almost done.

I figured you wouldn't have eaten
Korean food for a few days.

I went to the supermarket
and these caught my eye.

Which one do you want?

I'll have this one. The bulgogi flavor.

You'll have the bulgogi?
Okay, then I'll have the kimchi.

Thanks for this.

Sure. Let's dig in.

It looks so good.

It tastes like the kimchi we eat in Korea.

This tastes like actual bulgogi.

It's perfect with cooked rice.

It feels like we're having

a home-cooked meal together.

Where's Ms. Cheon?

Her plane just landed.

Let's go.

AGENDA: MOTION TO REMOVE CEO CHEON YEO-RI

Ok Gye-hui.

You could barely look me in the eye,

and you dare to do this?

My goodness.

Let's be honest.
It wasn't that I couldn't face you.

I was only acting on instinct
and political acumen.

Besides,

not all flowers bloom
on the first day of spring.

I just waited for the right time
to come out in full bloom.

I believe that day is today.

Ma'am.

Ms. Han didn't participate
in the early electronic vote.

She sent a proxy
to cast her vote in person today.

Yeo-ri, you got this.

Okay?

You got this!

GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
POWER OF ATTORNEY

DELEGATOR: SHAREHOLDER HAN SE-IN

Hello, everyone.

We will now begin the extraordinary
general meeting of shareholders

regarding the motion for removal
of Reina Hotel's CEO, Cheon Yeo-ri.

The online electronic vote
closed yesterday.

A great number of shareholders
cast their vote,

but as the result is very close,

we request those present today
who have not yet voted

to please vote now.

IN FAVOR

IN FAVOR

OPPOSED

In favor.

Opposed.

In favor.

In favor.

In favor.

We will now announce
the result of the vote

on the motion to remove
Reina Hotel's CEO, Cheon Yeo-ri.

First is the result of the electronic vote
that closed yesterday.

There were 51.0% votes
in favor of the removal,

and 49.0% votes
opposed to the removal.

Next is the result
of the on-site vote from today.

There were 48.5% votes
in favor of the removal,

and 51.5% votes opposed to the removal.

Those opposed to the removal
led by 3% points in the on-site vote,

so the overall result is…

IN FAVOR: 48.5%
OPPOSED: 51.5%

IN FAVOR: 49.5%, OPPOSED: 50.5%
REMOVAL OF CEO CHEON YEO-RI REJECTED

Votes in favor, 49.5%.

Votes opposed, 50.5%.

As a result, the removal
of Reina Hotel's CEO, Cheon Yeo-ri,

has been officially rejected.

How could this be, Mom?

Ms. Cheon, congratulations on the win.

I must say,
our shareholders have a great eye.

Don't you think?

This just goes to show
that Reina Hotel needs you at the helm.

We just helped you prove that, didn't we?

Excuse us.

-You're really something, Director Ok.
-Jeez.

That was some turnaround.

We may have lacked clout,
but we never lacked funds.

Call your uncle, Gye-dong, right away.

We need a contingency plan, fast.

Darn it.

Thank you for changing your mind

at the last moment.

I'll keep my promise.

I trust you will.

I've learned something from this ordeal.

However uncomfortable
the past or reality is,

you must face it head-on to resolve it.

Oh, and the gift you left me…

Do you like it?

One of the hottest keywords
on the investment platform

you're about to launch is "folk painting."

And I noticed you seem to like
butterfly-themed folk paintings.

It's by an artist named Dowon.
I just recently discovered him.

I thought you'd appreciate
the work's true value.

It definitely won me over.

It's what sealed the deal for me.

CEO KANG MIN-HWAN

Thank you for your help with this.

I was able to get through it,
thanks to you both.

I look forward to
continuing to work with you.

Oh, of course.

Here's the slush fund file
I mentioned last time.

I won't go easy on Director Ok
or her people because they're family.

We must cut out what is rotten

to ensure Reina Group stays healthy.

Director Ok of Gallery Cheon sold artworks
to Reina Hotel at inflated rates

and kept the difference
to create a slush fund?

Prosecutors are eyeing Director Ok
for another matter too.

Prosecutors are onto her?

Did she bribe a politician or something?

Her younger brother,
Chief Prosecutor Ok Gye-dong,

helped Yeeon Foundation
launder money through a painting.

It seems it was used to bribe a politician
to secure a building license.

Which politician is that?

It's Assemblyman Park Jin-dong,
former pro golfer Park Seung-jae's father.

How interesting.

Look, Gye-dong.

You can't just look out for yourself.

Do you know the nightmare
I've been living through lately?

Gye-hui.

I'm in deep trouble as it is.

I sided with the wrong guy thanks to you,
and I'm about to go down.

Man, you told me
to side with Park Jin-dong,

saying he'd become your in-law.

Right, so think of a way
to get back at Yeo-ri.

Do it like your life depends on it.

I need to survive for you to live too!

Darn you.

He's helpless.

I don't know who he takes after
to be such a coward.

Who's calling now? Don't answer it.

It's Min-hwan.

Why is he calling?

Hello, Mr. Kang.

Hey, Pil-dong. I just got back to Korea.

Where in Korea?
You're not home yet, are you?

I'm at the door.

Wait. Stop right where you are.
Don't you dare open that door.

Turn around and come to the office.

Why? Did something happen at work?

Something's about to happen to you.

What could possibly happen to me?

I'm tired. I'm going inside to rest.

No, you can't do that. Wait.

Listen carefully.
The moment you step inside,

-you will be doomed.
-Fine, whatever. Bye.

Why you…

It hurts, it hurts!

You damn punk.

How could you treat
your precious grandson like this?

Not even some luggage
would deserve this treatment!

Then what about you?

Think of what you did to me.

She was born in the year
of the Black Monkey, wasn't she?

You even had the nerve
to swap out her date of birth?

No wonder.

I had a feeling something was off.

No need to discuss this any further.

Thankfully it was an engagement,
not a marriage.

We'll pretend it never happened.

No one calls off an engagement
over a birth year these days.

If you won't do it, I will!

I'll meet with Yeo-ri's grandma
and take care of it.

No. You can't do that.

You can stop me now,
but you can't stop me forever.

Talk to me about it then.

What is the deal with the Black Monkey?

Your heart surgery.

My heart transplant?

Shaman Sim said to me

that someone born
in the year of the Black Monkey

would give you a second lease on life.

And the one who gave you the heart
was born in that very year.

-So it's a good thing.
-No!

The heart beating inside you
once belonged to a Black Monkey,

so if you were to form a bond
with the same Chinese zodiac…

it would cut your extension on life.

Grandma, it's all superstition.

There's no basis to that.

I don't believe such superstitions.
They don't work on me.

I'll give you three days.

End it with Yeo-ri by then!

Grandma.

Grandma.

I'm begging you, okay?

I really like Yeo-ri.

So please

give us a chance and see how we do.

Don't even dream of it.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, good grief.

CL Group will help us?

It's less help
and more an offer to join forces.

This is unexpected.

Given our situation,

those who'd joined forces with us
have been cutting us loose.

Why would a company as great as CL
want to work with us?

You're desperate.

Nothing motivates people like it.

We have no reason
to refuse an offer from CL Group.

The only title I have is
director of an art gallery,

and I might not even have that
for much longer.

We did gain something from the attempt,

since we now know
the extent of support Yeo-ri can call on.

I'm grateful
if that's how you decide to see it.

So, what will you do if we join forces?

Sign a merger with Reina.

A merger?

If CL were to merge with Reina,

it would reshape the entire Asian market.

We could create
a leading integrated resort complex.

That's what I'll achieve.

Gosh, just hearing about it
creates a grand picture.

But Chairwoman Baek and Cheon Yeo-ri
would definitely be against it.

We'll prepare for that.

If Reina's stock price continues to fall,

CL Group will buy up
as much as we can.

Goodness.

You're really determined,
aren't you, Mr. Kang?

I'm just a tad bit intimidated.

Hey, Yeo-ri?

Why are you speaking so quietly?

Oh, it's just that my grandma's here.

Should I hang up then?

No, no. Let's talk.

Yeo-ri.

I like talking on the phone with you,

but I miss you.

Me too.

-Really?
-Yeah.

I'll come over then.

-What?
-You said you missed me too.

I'll come over.

Where are you going this late at night?

The convenience store.

Gang-uk.

Yeo-ri.

I missed you so much, Yeo-ri.

You actually came over.

Of course I did.

-Let's go inside.
-What? Oh, okay.

Gosh, this brings back memories.

The day I first came here,

the kid I saw in that corner
followed me home.

To think of how scared I was that day…

We've been through so much, haven't we?

Exactly.

It's such a big house
and you live here all alone.

Can I…

come over often?

Yeo-ri.

If you had a time machine,
when would you travel to?

The future? The past?

What about you?

-I'd go to the future.
-Why?

I'd like to see what hobbies we share,

what we eat at what famous restaurants,
and what films we watch together.

I'd also like to see
the places we travel to,

and which parks we go to for walks
while holding hands.

That's why.

What about you?

For me…

it's the past.

To the day it happened.

Before I called you earlier,

I was looking at some reports
about the accident.

I found a list of belongings
found at the scene,

but the pendant isn't there.

Oh, the necklace you mentioned?

You were definitely wearing it
before you fell into the water,

but it wasn't found with other belongings.

Yeo-ri.

According to this incident report,

there were paramedics at the scene,
as well as your friends.

Well, yes.

Can we find the person
who rescued me that day?

They're also civil servants
who serve a specific purpose,

so we should be able to find them.
I'll look into that.

Nice one. Straight onto the green.

You must play often, Mr. Kang.

Only recently.

There's talk that a presidential secretary

wants to make you
the next prosecutor general.

Congratulations in advance.

No need to get ahead of ourselves.

Their opposition is pushing back,
as usual.

You mean Assemblyman Park Jin-dong,
former pro golfer Park Seung-jae's father?

You know it all, don't you?

I might as well say this
since it's just us,

but Assemblyman Park is
quite something, isn't he?

He was a likely presidential candidate,

but he lost all hope
when his son went down.

Now it seems his sole purpose in life
is to put allies in important positions.

By the way, about Yeeon…

Are you going to wait and--

Oh, right.

One of our guys you mentioned.
Ma Gang-uk, was it?

Is he giving you trouble?

No.

I think he's too great a prosecutor.

Competent guys like him
deserve a promotion or a reward,

so they know their work is worthwhile.

Hello, this is Ma Gang-uk.

I'm looking for a Ji Sun-ho
who was a paramedic at the time.

Where is he stationed now?

Okay. Thank you.

Okay.

You want to blow up
this Yeeon bribery case, don't you?

It's a great opportunity,
but an actual investigation could harm

your right-hand man,
Chief Prosecutor Ok Gye-dong.

It sounds like
you already know everything.

To pave the way for the
presidential secretary for civil affairs,

I need to crush
Assemblyman Park Jin-dong for good.

It just so happens
that Chief Prosecutor Ok's involved.

How about

you launch the investigation,

but target someone else
and corner them instead?

Well, as long as it's someone
we can connect reasonably enough

to put alongside Park Jin-dong, why not?

How about CEO Cheon Yeo-ri of Reina Hotel?

She practically controls Reina Group.

Hey, Gang-uk.

I spoke to the paramedic from that day.

-Really?
-Yes.

He was transferred to a fire station
down south not too long ago.

He remembered your accident

because it was
a rare occurrence at the time.

Really?

What a relief.

Did you ask him about the pendant?

Did he remember it?

I wasn't able to ask for details.

He got injured while on duty recently.

He was hospitalized,
and I couldn't ask it all over the phone.

So I asked if I could pay him a visit,

and he willingly agreed.

I can take a half-day off tomorrow and go.

Okay.

Thank you. See you tomorrow.

-Okay.
-Bye.

Yeo-ri, it'll be a pretty long drive.

Shall we listen to music?

-Yes, sounds good.
-Okay.

Play something to listen to on a drive
with someone you like.

MUSIC TO LISTEN TO WITH A LOVER

I like the sound.

They're renovating
the hospital parking lot.

-It's easier to park here and walk.
-Okay.

Do you know this area well?

I do know it, but I'll explain later.

What's wrong?
Are you looking for something?

No. It's nothing.

-It's that way.
-Okay.

This one's a turtle.

The town is really unique.

Yes. That's why it's called the art--

-Ms. Pang?
-No.

-My grandma's in Seoul.
-Wasn't that Gang-uk?

-What? But that's…
-Walk to your right.

Was I seeing things?

Your grandmother…

-Does she live here?
-Did she?

What?

What, Grandma?

Hey. I know there's no way,

but are you in the area?

What are you on about? I'm in Seoul.

I'm in a meeting with my chief,
so I'll call you back.

Okay, you do that.

-Wait, Gang-uk.
-What?

You made such a fuss,

so I asked Shaman Sim about it again.

He said you must never get involved
with anyone born in the Black Monkey year.

I know very well how much you like Yeo-ri.

If you won't do it,

I'll go to Chairwoman Baek tomorrow
and handle it myself.

Talk to Yeo-ri so she understands,

and end it without any more trouble.

I have to go.

Okay. Bye.

Gang-uk. What was that…

all about?

My grandmother cares a lot
about birth dates and fortunes,

and she told me not to date
a Black Monkey.

That's pure nonsense. It's not real.

But because my grandmother
was so worried,

I gave her Pil-dong's wife's date of birth
before we got engaged.

She found out the truth
while we were in Singapore,

and she got a little upset.

Yeo-ri. You don't have to worry.

The Shaman Sim my grandma has faith in?

Nothing he says is accurate.

He said I'd pass the bar on my second try,
but I passed in one go.

And the real reason my grandma is angry

has nothing to do with your birth year.

She's upset that I lied to her.

It was my doing, so I'll sort it out.

Then we should visit her today

to explain everything and apologize.

Okay.

Let's finish our business first,
then go visit her.

Let's go.

Jeez.

ANDONG MIRAE HOSPITAL

I think that's him.

Hello.

You're the lady I rescued back then?

Yes. I owe you my life.

Thank you very much.

Oh, please. It makes my work worthwhile.

So what's the pendant
you mentioned on the phone?

Oh, right.

I don't have a photo of it,

so I drew what it looked like.

Do you remember seeing it?

Oh, I remember it.

Someone asked for it back then.

A lot was going on
and the site was a bit chaotic,

but I vaguely remember the voice.

I'll take it.

I'm family.

Very well.

He said he'd take it.

He said he was family.

He was family?

Who there could've been family?

SECRETARY EOM

-Excuse me for a moment.
-Sure.

Hello, Ms. Eom. What is it?

We have an exclusive report.

Assemblyman Park Jin-dong

and Yeeon Museum of Art
are implicated in a bribery scandal,

with circumstantial evidence linking them
to Cheon Yeo-ri, the CEO of Reina Hotel.

It's causing unrest in the community.

Reina Group and Assemblyman Park Jin-dong

had close business ties
and even discussed a marriage alliance

until Park's son, Park Seung-jae,
was detained on suspicion of murder.

During the process of obtaining
a business license,

CEO Cheon of Reina Hotel
contacted Yeeon Museum of Art…

What's going on here?

It's obviously fake news.

That's right.

I know some things about the Yeeon case,

and I confirmed
that Reina Hotel wasn't involved.

Call an emergency meeting

and get the legal team
for a contingency plan.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll return to my office and look into it.

Don't worry too much. It's not even true.

What's going on?
You said Reina wasn't involved.

I have no clue.
I'm here because of that.

It's my case,
and I'm hearing stuff I didn't know about.

Go to your own chief.
Why would you come to me?

-You know all there is to know here.
-Right.

Tell me everything you know.

It looks like Chief Prosecutor Ok Gye-dong

helped Yeeon Museum of Art
launder a painting.

And Yeeon used that painting
to bribe someone to get a license.

I know that much. Who did they bribe?

Assemblyman Park Jin-dong.

Then Ok Gye-dong's name
should be on the news, not Reina.

He still doesn't know
how things work here.

Our priority is to protect our own.

We don't like anything
that makes us look bad.

What kind of nonsense…

Do you think I'll just sit back?

Don't get so worked up about it.

Aren't you engaged to Reina Hotel's CEO?

If you get too hot-headed and involved,

people will question
the integrity of the investigation.

Oh, right.

I was going to ask you anyway.

You made some nice connections
right after your engagement to an heiress.

One word from that pal

and our district chief
did you a huge favor.

Who's that pal and what's the favor?

You've been reassigned

to an overseas training program
you applied for last year.

I applied last year and got rejected.

Why would they send me now?

You didn't know?
That pal praised you to no end.

What pal?

We need to stop the stocks from falling.

Yes. We'll make a statement
before the market opens tomorrow.

The message from the emergency meeting
will be sent to all shareholders,

and we'll protect our stock price
at all costs.

Good.

You two can come back after you've eaten.

Ma'am.

Perhaps you could join?

You haven't been eating much lately.

Yes. Why don't you join us?

Well… Sure, why not?

Here we go.

I'll show you how to eat this.

You wrap a piece in kimchi

and eat it in one bite.

Thank you.

Oh, I didn't know
you could wrap it like that.

Let me try it.

-It's spicy.
-It's nice and savory.

-It's spicy.
-It's savory.

You don't know your flavors.
This is spicy.

The tripe is savory.

Ma'am, what do you think?

Well, it's…

It's tasty.

See? She said it's spicy.

It would be nice
if we could eat together like this again.

Let's do this again.

Sure.

-It's nice and spicy.
-It's nice and savory.

Gang-uk!

Why aren't you asleep yet?

Are you all right, Gang-uk?

What's wrong?

It's all good if you're okay.

Bye now.

Please protect my Gang-uk.

Please protect and help him.

Please watch over him.

Ma.

Where'd he go?

INCOMING CALL

He left his phone.

-Hey, Gang-uk.
-Oh.

Is this Ms. Cheon?

Yes.

It's me, Im Seo-hyeon.
It looks like Ma went out.

Is that so? Then I'll call again later.

By the way…

You know he was assigned overseas, right?

What?

Gang-uk is

going abroad?

Oh, I guess he hasn't told you yet.

I'm not sure if I should tell you this,

but this overseas assignment
feels a bit fishy.

What do you mean?

Ever since your scandal blew up,
he's been under pressure from higher-ups.

I think their goal
is to chase Ma out of Seoul.

I'll tell him that you called
when he comes back.

Okay.

You have a visitor.

Ma'am.

Yeo-ri.

Yes, ma'am.

I really like you.

Why?

Because Gang-uk likes you.

But…

I don't think
you and Gang-uk are meant to be.

Ma'am.

If this is about my birth year…

That's right.

I don't mind if you think
I'm an old woman acting silly.

But I was told

you two are a bad match.

Wouldn't it be best to avoid the worst?

If you don't mind me saying so,

when you talk about
the year or date of birth,

isn't that just an old,
traditional belief?

Could you reconsider your beliefs
just this once?

Sure.

It could be a superstition
that people made up.

But Yeo-ri.

In all the years I've lived,

there's one thing I know to be true.

It's that my ominous hunch
was never wrong.

Please, I'm begging you.

Gang-uk will never leave you,
even if his life is at stake.

I need you to let him go…

I'm sorry.

Gang-uk was born with a weak heart.

He's had many close calls with death.

He found a donor and had surgery,

and that's the only reason
he's still alive.

I can't go on living
if something were to happen to him.

I know he was in a bad car accident
a few months ago.

Weren't you with him

when that happened too?

You can call me a senile old woman.

So please…

Do me this favor.

PROSECUTOR MA

The call cannot be connected. You will be…

Ma'am, the prosecutors' office
has sent you a summons notice.

Perhaps you could contact Prosecutor Ma--

No.

Don't tell him.

I'll take care of it.

All right.

I don't mind if you think
I'm an old woman acting silly.

You two are a bad match.
Wouldn't it be best to avoid the worst?

Gang-uk was born with a weak heart.

That's the only reason he's still alive.

-Damn you.
-Are you okay, Yeo-ri?

If it means I can be with you,

I don't mind seeing ghosts.

Yeo-ri.

Why are you so hard to reach?
Do you know how worried I was?

Yeo-ri?

I should've taken better care of you.

It's tough, isn't it?

Gang-uk.

Should we…

break up?

Let's call off the engagement.

SPOOKY IN LOVE

Is that more important
than your grandson's feelings?

It's all for your sake.

No, you did it for your own peace of mind.

Your stocks are plummeting.
Do you have any plans to step down?

Since when was it?

When did you start targeting Reina?

Does it matter when it all started?

What we do next is what counts.

Given all the evidence,
I don't think there will be a way out.

Did that bastard
Ma Gang-uk blow the whistle?

Take responsibility for what you did.

Do you remember the yacht incident
from 12 years ago?

Let's meet up.

Who's there?

Yeo-ri?
