Then you shouldn't have
made her cry.

Mr. Jang.

Let me ask you something.

Is it okay...

if I take her from you?

Watch what you say.

She's not some kind of an object.

I didn't mean to make it
sound like that.

You're awfully sensitive.

If you want to impress Ji Eun,

you'd better not provoke me.

I might cross the line
if you make me lose it.

Who doesn't have a temper?

Do you want to cause trouble
by provoking me?

You have no right
to get in between us.

Then do you admit that you're upset
because I got involved?

We should stop here.

You just do whatever you want,
don't you?

Are you sure you won't regret...

letting her go?

You should leave before I start
saying things I shouldn't say.

I'll take her home.

So don't worry.

Ji Eun.

I'll drive you home.

I'm going to start driving.
Put on your seatbelt.

Jang Se Hoon looks like a man
who lives by his own standards.

I overheard that money doesn't hold
much value in his life.

Do you think that's what
makes him even more attractive?

Stop the car.

No, do it next time.
Talk to him next time.

I need to talk to him right now.
Stop the car!

They say it's always best
to think twice.

You're too riled up right now.

It's really not easy...

to sway her.

You think it's easy for me
to abandon everything?

Do you think it was easy for me
to choose you...

over everything else?

Exactly. There's no need for you
to choose such a difficult path.

You're a jerk.

You only cared about yourself.

You never cared about us.

So...

don't make it sound nice...

by telling me you want to break up
while you're still in love.

When you're in love,

you should be with each other
no matter what.

That's what love is.

You say it's because I didn't
introduce you to my mom.

You say it's because my mom
mistreated you and we're different.

But that's all just an excuse.

You just don't want to bear with it.

You're a selfish jerk who only cares
about protecting your own pride.

I'm sorry for hurting you.

I'm not going to forgive you.

I'm going to hate you forever.

I'm going to pray every day
and hope you become miserable.

Remember this.

You're the one
who let go of our love.

Who was that?

She came to see you in a bathrobe
at this hour...

and left in tears,
so she must be someone special.

Did you break up with her
without even talking about it?

She must've felt desperate...

to come here at this hour
wearing a bathrobe.

Her life will get complicated
if she keeps seeing me.

Is it because we're not well off?

Judging by the car she left in,

I could tell
that she's from a rich family.

But still, you shouldn't have
made her cry.

It's not like
I wanted to make her cry.

I knew I wouldn't be able to end it
if I kept holding on.

So I had no choice
but to be cold to her.

We might not be well off,

but you're still a decent guy.

Who knows?
Her family might approve of you.

You're so naive.

That's why you frustrate me so much.

Gosh, here you go again.

Stop being so stubborn.

I know companies are able to grow
thanks to their laborers,

but not a single firm hesitates
to fire them.

Do you think a protest will
make them give you what you want?

Well, I can't just give up.

It's better to give up
than to be pathetic.

You got into university
as the top student,

so I thought you were smart,
but I guess you're just book-smart.

Making an effort is
different from doing your best...

until there's nothing more to do.

Faith is when you give it your all
until there's nothing more to do.

And true love is about never
letting go no matter what happens.

By any chance,
did you make her cry...

because you got scared
her family might disapprove of you?

My goodness, you're horrible.
You really are unbelievable.

You should never let go
of some things in life...

regardless of how pathetic
they make you feel.

If you truly love her,

you should've tried your best
to fight for her.

That's what a real man would do.

Ji Eun's family
lives in a totally different world.

Then just get over it.

I hurt her feelings.

So give me some time to mourn.

He's the head of the labor union
who are asking for a reinstatement?

His dad is a hardliner.

He has a lot of influence
on the illegal protest...

against Seorin Wool Textile.

Why did she have to date a guy
who comes from a family like this?

I'm sure she didn't know.

You know we have
no control over...

whom we fall in love with.

Who says it's love?

I'm just saying.

But I have to say,

this guy's dad has bad blood
with Seorin Wool Textile.

So if Chairman Seo finds out
about this,

it'll make things awkward for us.

What does he have
anything to do with us?

It's a problem because Ji Eun is
having trouble letting go of him.

It's just a phase,

which means she'll get over it.

He already ended it with her,

so it might be better
not to get involved.

Thank you for today.

Get some sleep.
Don't think too much.

I disagree.

You know how things like this work.

I don't mean to offend you,

but when my dad was against
your relationship with my sister,

you tried to call it quits,
but my sister couldn't let go.

And in the end, my dad eventually
gave you his approval.

I personally think
you should meet him.

Why meet a guy who's nothing
but a pain in the neck?

I'm saying you should meet up
and try to appease him.

Are you saying
I should give him money?

Everyone has a weakness for money.

The biggest issue is
how much you're going to pay him.

But who knows?

His dad is participating
in an illegal protest,

so if you do a background check,
you'll find a lot of weaknesses.

And that might get him
to do as you ask.

I do feel bad for him though.

He was the top student
at K University.

That means he's pretty smart.

The apple doesn't fall
far from the tree.

His dad is the head
of a labor union,

so he also probably thinks ill
of those who have money and power.

Who's calling?

If you keep that up,
you'll eventually get caught.

Hey.

Who taught you how to be so sweet?

Will you promise me a good time?

I should wrap things up now.

Okay, I won't take long.
I'll call you on my way.

Hey.

We met a few times at the textile
association gathering.

You should say hello
to my brother-in-law.

You have time, right?

Come on.

Hey, look who's here.

May I be frank with you?

Sure.

Although I'm not sure if you're
going to become my son-in-law,

let me give you a piece of advice
as your father's friend.

It's always best to live the life
you were meant to live.

That applies to both you and Ji Eun.

I don't look back
once I make up my mind.

Marriage is maintained by your
sense of duty, compassion,

and the need to get what you want.

I also intend on
adding love to that.

But first, I'm going to try
and become friends with her.

I'm a little boring,

but I'm very loyal
to those whom I care about.

You should slowly
get to know my daughter.

Ji Eun and I have
a lot of empty voids to fill up.

But I'll do my best to fill them up.

You only say things that please me.

Here. Have a glass.
Let's get drunk tonight.

(Delete)

(The photo has been deleted.)

(Delete)

(The photo has been deleted.)

I guess I just don't...

love you that much.

It's not only because we live
in different environments.

As we got deeper
into our relationship,

I could easily see
how it was going to end.

We just have...

different goals in life.

(Delete)

(The photo has been deleted.)

I was fooled.

I was fooled by love.

See? It's her handwriting.

It's exactly the same.

Is she dumb or what?

Why would she write it herself?

She could've asked someone else
to write it...

or have it printed out.

My gosh, do you think
this is all part of the plan?

Does she want to show us
that she's...

determined enough to plot
a self-fabricated scenario?

My gosh, you're having fun,
aren't you?

My head hurts.

What am I going to do
with this fool?

I can't believe she tried
to deceive her parents.

Are you just going to sit there
and sigh like that?

What's your plan?

Ji Eun isn't answering our calls,

and I don't think
she's going to come home either.

No way.

Do you think
she's planning to run away with him?

Words have power, you know.

So watch what you say.

He told me he ended it with her.

They were both in love
with each other.

It won't end
just because he called it quits.

When I met him, I noticed he's a guy
who cares a lot about his pride.

So I'm sure he'll keep his promise.

Ji Eun is just throwing a tantrum
because things aren't going her way.

But still, you never know
what might happen.

So you should also
come up with an alternative.

Like what?

An eye for an eye.

Pay her back with your own
self-fabricated scenario.

- What?
- Take a few vitamin pills.

Then go to the hospital
in an ambulance.

You need to put your life
on the line...

to make Ji Eun get to her senses.

You should use that brain to study.

Your dad must be here.

Don't tell anything to your dad.

- About what?
- If he finds out...

that your sister sent the video,

he might kick her out.

I'll tell him she called and told me
she's going to sleep at Bok Ja's.

So keep your mouth shut.

Who did you drink with?

- Why aren't you answering me?
- Turn off the light.

Ji Eun called and told me
she'll be sleeping at Bok Ja's.

Ji Eun is just like you, isn't she?

Of course. She's my daughter.

I'm talking about
how she's really good at lying.

What do you mean?

Ji Eun is at H Hotel right now.

How did you find out?

I'm tired.

You should leave Ji Eun alone.

I have a plan.

What plan? What are you going to do?

Did Ji Eun call you?

I guess she's giving me
the cold shoulder...

because I went to her boyfriend
and told him off.

But I'm really close
to collapsing right now.

Will you please get up?

- What are you doing?
- What did Ji Eun say?

She didn't call me.

Director Seo was with her.

I heard it from him.

That mean brat.

She yelled and talked back to me.
I was so flabbergasted.

There's no right
and wrong answer in life.

It's all about making a choice.

I decided to adjust to my fate.

Bok Ja, we haven't met in ages.

Let's meet this weekend.

I have plans today.

Jung In's friend's wife...

reopened her art gallery.

And their curator is the daughter
of Daehyun Department Store's owner.

Our clothing store
is in their department store.

Yes, so I need to go there
and amuse her.

Yes. Where are you?

I'm going to meet Ho Jin.

He passed the bar exam.

The results came out last week.

We're having a party today
to congratulate him.

Se Hoon will also be there.

Hello?

Hey, I thought you hung up
because you were so quiet.

Okay, bye. I'll let Ho Jin know.

Why are you outside?

- I was talking to Ji Eun.
- Are you kidding...

She wanted me to congratulate you
on her behalf.

Don't ever mention her name
in front of Se Hoon, okay?

It was nice when it used to be
the four of us.

If they're not meant to be,
there's nothing we can do about it.

Let me clear something out.

Se Hoon dumped Ji Eun.

Like I told you,

Ji Eun was ready
to go all the way with Se Hoon.

She moved all her money
to a different bank account...

and even sold her stocks
expecting to get kicked out.

Even if they stayed together,

they wouldn't have been happy.

Ji Eun's parents would've given them
a hard time.

And that would've caused a crack
in their relationship.

That would've led them to fight...

and hurt each other.

- Gosh, forget it.
- My gosh.

It's never a good idea
to marry someone...

without your parents' blessings.

I can't believe
people still break up...

due to their social differences
in this day and age.

Do you need the same design
that you ordered last time?

Yes. How many do you need?

Okay, I'll be on my way
right now. Bye.

Did someone make an order?

Yes, an art gallery
is having an opening ceremony.

And they asked me
for some more bar stools.

I see. Go ahead.
We'll start eating without you.

Have you been well?

It looks like you haven't been well.

Why did you lose so much weight?

You know why.

It always used to be
the three of us anyway.

Things are just back to normal.
Just like this.

I mean, to be honest...

Don't be honest.

It's not a state secret.

Why won't you let me talk?

Feel free to say what you want.

Is Ji Eun doing well?

She's trying her best to make it
seem like she's doing okay.

Good. She deserves to be happy.

I'll be back after the delivery.

You guys can start
eating without me.

(Furniture Studio Echo)

I will run to you

I will fly over to you

If you enter my heart

Even if you don't run like a child

Even if you don't fly
like a butterfly

I will forever remain by your side

It's okay. You may leave.

- I'm three months pregnant.
- We already broke up.

What do you think you're doing?

You're the baby's father.

So I thought you should know.

What do you want?

Like you said,
I'm just someone you need.

So tell me what you need.

I know I said that,

but how many times
do I need to tell you...

that I didn't mean it?

- It was a slip of the tongue.
- A slip of the tongue?

You subconsciously expressed...

how you really felt about me.

Why are you being so cold?

Think of all the years
we spent together.

I'm pregnant...

with your baby.

How dare you come here
and cause a scene?

I'm pregnant with Jung In's baby.

So what? Do you really think...

you can use the baby...

to become my daughter-in-law?

We'll carry out a DNA test,
and if the DNAs match,

we'll raise the baby.

I'm going to raise the baby.

How dare you try to ruin his life?

You should know your place.

How are a lowlife like you
try to marry my son?

Jung In.

Drag her out.

Get off me.

I'll leave on my own.

I won't ever forget
how you humiliated me today.

I will pay you back for this.

How dare she try to threaten us?

That venomous witch.

Stay on your toes.

If word gets out
about her pregnancy,

our merger with Bisang won't happen.

I'll deal with her.

So don't let her bother you.

What do you plan to do?

The baby may have been
born out of wedlock,

but if it's really yours,
we should raise it.

Mr. Son, have my car ready.

We'll send her to Hong Kong
and have her give birth there.

Then we'll pay her money.

We're almost done
with our merger with Bisang.

And now, it's all about
who collapses first.

So keep your priorities in check.

I want you to become...

as venomous as that witch.

Minister Kim's daughter-in-law
is opening her gallery today.

Aren't you supposed to go there
with Ji Eun?

Yes, I should get going now.

A man should know
how to handle his woman.

When are the guys going to arrive
to suppress the protestors?

It's going to be an ambush,
so they'll be there at 10 a.m.

The police agreed to cooperate.

I want them gone this time.

We need to settle everything
before our merger with Bisang.

Otherwise, Chairman Lee,
that cunning man,

will use that against us
to add a clause...

that will be advantageous for him.

It won't be good for us.

Ji Eun, where are you?

I'm almost there.

I came a little early on purpose.

I want to meet the curator...

before the opening ceremony.

I'm going to ask for a few paintings
for the new company building.

Then I'll ask if our store
can move locations.

Daehyun Department Store is
opening a branch in the new city.

And the manager in charge
keeps making things difficult.

You can take your time.

By the way, you sound really down.

Oh, it's because I had
a lot of meetings today.

I'll be there before they do
the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

I'll see you later.

(Furniture Studio Echo)

I'm sorry to ask you this.

But can you help me?
It's too heavy to carry on my own.

Where should I take this to?

To the mini kitchen. It's that way.

- Oh, okay.
- Thank you.

Hey, you're here.

I came too early, didn't I?

It's probably so you can ask me
for a favor.

You read my mind.
It's kind of embarrassing.

Don't be embarrassed.

It's natural to help each other out.

- Where is Jung In?
- He's on his way here.

Are you hitting things off with him?

We're not dating.
We're just friends.

Both your families are
carrying out a merger.

Don't be so timid about it.

If you marry someone
whom your parents set you up with,

you end up with a nice
and peaceful marriage.

People who like to gossip
tend to speak ill of those...

who get married for convenience...

saying they're too materialistic.

But marriage is all about
signing a contract anyway.

The daughter
of Samhwa Group's owner is calling.

Go ahead and enjoy the paintings.

Okay.

Hey, where are you?

- Thank you.
- I'll see you next time.

Thanks.

What's this painting doing here?

A phoenix?

What does a phoenix have
anything to do with love?

Have you ever seen a phoenix before?

A phoenix is a mythological bird
that lives in the Arabian Desert.

After living for 600 years,

it gathers a pile of wood
in the middle of the desert...

and uses sunlight to start a fire.

Then it uses its wings
to keep it burning...

and throws its body
into the fire to kill itself.

That's so sad.

But from its ashes,
a baby phoenix is born again.

So you don't need to be so sad.

I see.

No wonder...

it looks so passionate and ardent.

A passionate and ardent love
just like a phoenix.

Rather than passion and ardency,
the artist might've aimed to show...

that love might require
one's sacrifice.

Just like how
a phoenix kills itself...

to give birth to a baby phoenix
from its ashes,

the artist might've wanted
to tell us that love...

comes at a sacrifice.

No.

I'm going to assume...

that the artist wanted to express
a passionate and ardent love.

People have different views in life,

so it's natural
to interpret it differently.

Your interpretation
isn't wrong either.

Why don't we passionately
kiss each other?

Ji Eun.

Ji Eun.

There you are.

Did you bring
our wedding invitation?

(Phoenix 2020)

If you do as I say,
no one will get hurt.

Do as you say?

Your father is carrying out
an illegal protest.

You should go. They're going
to tear everything down.

When people don't listen,
violence is inevitable.

I want everyone arrested.

- Who are you?
- What do you think you're doing?

- Give me back the documents.
- Se Hoon!

It might be necessary
to hurt someone.

If you yield to them,
they'll keep asking for more.
