ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS AND RELIGIONS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

Why do people need privacy?

To enjoy their freedom without having to wear

a mask in front of other people?

Or is it to wear a different mask?

With or without a mask, people need privacy because…

…they want to be a tiny bit happier?

As time passes by, understanding others

and making others understand you is getting harder in this world.

So people make friends without involving any emotion.

That is why people chose a tertiary mode of life

over the public and private lives in order to be happier.

Through this new way of networking, we willingly share…

…our private information for the sake of convenience and happiness.

Just like this guy.

Mr. Jeong, what are you doing? Make it quick. The president is leaving.

No. You don't have to.

President Choi's personal driver, Jeong Hyeon-cheol.

DRIVER, JEONG HYEON-CHEOL FORMERLY JEONG HYEON-GU

Why did he have to die?

Who wanted him dead? And why?

In the end, people started to die because of their private lives.

Because they rigged their private lives. Because their lives were fabricated.

I'll get to that later.

What matters now is…

What do you think Jeong Bok-gi's plan is?

Why meet Yoo Byung-jun?

It's me.

I want you to fire all of the cleaners for the section, C-7, immediately.

It's nice to meet you. My name is Kim Jae-wook.

Do you not have a business card?

I'm having a lot of meetings lately.

I might not be able to remember you.

That's all right with me.

All right, then.

Come on up.

GK TECHNOLOGY, KIM JAE-WOOK

I see. You work for GK.

"La Nature"?

La Natura.

But that was for yesterday.

Starting now, my position is…

You want to join my election campaign

and assist me?

I would like to help you by your side.

So that is your condition?

According to the election law,

foreigners can't join election campaigns.

My name must have given you the wrong idea.

I've been naturalized with my original name.

Let me introduce myself properly.

I'm in charge of Assemblyman Yoo's Social Media PR Team Two.

I'm Sophia Chung.

I'll look forward to your help.

I should be the one asking for help.

I heard, with GK's intelligence,

I could find out the number of food items stored in my neighbor's fridge.

I hope you'll share your intel.

You're walking a fine line.

That might be considered an invasion of privacy.

My gosh. I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were worried about that.

My apologies.

I'm not a fan of apologies, but I'll take it.

I was getting hot in here.

Thanks to your dad joke, I just got the chills.

I am looking forward to your teamwork.

People might think you've known each other

for a long time.

Can you get into Gentleman's Club again?

The security system was updated. It's a high-end hotel.

You have to do what you did before for me to get in. Can you do it?

What are you doing? Who are you?

You're so inflexible.

-Then bring a warrant. -Wait! Hold on!

-Hold on! Gosh. -Get out.

Why don't we ask for Assemblyman Kwon's help?

Then he'll ask why and we'll have to tell him about Jeong Bok-gi.

I want you to look into subcontractors hired by One Hotel.

-Subcontractors? -We don't have time. Hurry.

They're hiring golfers,

but there is an NDA clause in the contract.

Isn't that ridiculous?

That's for Gentleman's Club, then.

Find someone that I might be able to get close to.

YUNI #INFLUENCER #MODEL #WORKOUT #PILATES

Hello, I'm the manager of the club, Ji Min-hui.

Our VIP clients like to have close games.

They prefer to win by a close call.

At times, they love to coach you

for making small, innocent mistakes.

Golf is a sport of manners.

I am sure you all know what that means.

-Yes. -Yes.

And this doesn't happen often,

but sometimes,

some unwelcome guests brazenly sneak in here as if they have been invited

even when they are always caught

by our club in the end.

Since they flout the law and sneak in here,

we return the favor and take measures above the law just like they did.

It will be very painful.

Ms. Lee.

What a shame.

I've been enjoying your TV shows.

Let go! Let go of me, you bastards.

Let go!

Let go of me. Let me go, you bastards!

Room Eight in Section D is occupied. Attention. Enter in three minutes.

I'm ready.

She's probably not in a fitness, leisure, entertainment, or a banquet room.

She's probably in a tearoom or a dining room.

Damn it.

What are you doing, Mr. Kim?

Where are your manners?

Yoon-kyung.

What?

Mr. Kim Jae-wook from GK.

What the hell

are you doing here?

What does it look like I'm doing here?

Right now,

I'm taking my revenge on you.

What? Isn't this what it looks like?

If that's the impression you got, this was a successful introduction.

What?

Are you scared?

You have GK's intelligence

and President Choi's ledger. You have everything.

Why would you be?

You have changed a lot

since I last saw you.

Revenge?

Are you trying to show me that revenge makes people mature?

But here's a thing. The word "revenge"

is reserved for people who have been wronged.

So tell me, Ms. Jeong Yoon-kyung.

What did I do that was so wrong?

Be honest with me.

I'm the one who saved your life.

In conclusion,

you can't call this a revenge.

So stop victimizing yourself

and walk away while you still can.

Go back and help your friend from the detective agency like a commoner.

Today will be the last day I'm nice enough to use words.

I am sure you understand what I mean by that.

Do you honestly believe

you have not done me any wrong?

If you say no,

I will only pay you back for what you have done to me.

If you say yes,

I might end up killing you.

Can't you tell that I am trying very hard to control myself for old times' sake?

You should quit here and now,

so that I won't have to save your life a second time.

Son of a bitch.

Food is ready. Where have you been?

I went to the restroom.

There's one here.

Joo-eun?

-Yes, Jeong-hwan. -What happened?

Jeong Bok-gi

met Kim Jae-wook.

What were you talking about?

I hope I didn't commit a grave crime of interrupting an important conversation.

No.

I was just about to bring that thing up.

I'm all ears, sir.

Well, it's about

President Choi Kyung-hwan's secret ledger.

I need to undermine Assemblyman Kwon.

I think I will be able to do that if I get my hands on that ledger.

I'm sure GK has

President Choi's secret ledger now. Right?

I would like to take a look at it.

What are you doing here?

Oh, no. I got lost.

This place is so complicated. It's like a maze.

Come with me.

I'll help you find your way.

That outfit suits you well.

You should've told me, Cha Joo-eun.

Take out what's in your ear gently, and give it to me.

Joo-eun!

Damn it.

-Jeong-hwan. -Joo-eun.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I'm fine,

but what's going on?

President Choi's secret ledger?

I'd like to see it too.

I don't know where you heard that rumor,

but it's fake news.

GK has it?

I've never heard that.

I won't ask you where you got

the malicious false rumor.

Instead, I'll trust that you'll take the appropriate action yourself.

It's an important time.

It's bad for you to keep such fake sources

around you.

It'll steer the primary race towards the wrong direction.

It was me.

I was the one who delivered that fake news.

Because someone informed me of the secret ledger.

Someone who claims

to have been close to President Choi Kyung-hwan in the past.

I can't tell you everything I heard,

but the information seemed very real.

I trust my source, of course.

Which means

that one of them is lying.

Either the informant

or…

Mr. Kim Jae-wook.

Good. I like that both of you are enthusiastic. It's excellent.

So the conclusion of our conversation today

is clear.

You two will make sure

that I'll get my hands on President Choi's secret ledger

as soon as possible.

Isn't that right?

Am I dreaming in vain?

No. I'll find the ledger.

Good.

Then let's toast for our victory.

Long time no see, Spy Lee.

You're really alive.

It's good to see you, Ms. Cha.

Ms. Cha Joo-eun?

Let's not see each other again.

Please sit down.

Aren't you going to work?

My dad sent his regards to you,

Team Manager Lee Jeong-hwan.

GK's big shot.

He's the one who survived

the war of the princes. He's the hero of the victory.

Director Oh Yeong-ju.

I never thought Spy Lee was one of the GK shadows.

Come to think of it,

did you approach me with an ulterior motive?

How is Mr. Oh?

I should've visited him to say hello.

Please tell him that I'm sorry.

I'll be leaving now.

Why are you hesitating?

You chose Yoo Byung-jun, but you won't give him everything?

What does that mean?

I know you won't answer me,

so I'll find out myself.

Get me some cigarettes.

What's this?

I guess Sophia Chung dropped it.

Would you like me to throw it out?

Give it to me, sir.

La Natura.

Sophia Chung?

I'll give it to her, sir.

No.

-Drive. -Yes, sir.

Since you came with us, you should leave with us.

Please get in. We'll give you a ride home.

Thank you for the offer, but my chauffeur is here.

See you next time.

Did you have dinner?

I ate with my friends.

-At a convenience store? -Yes.

Let's go home and have proper dinner.

And stop listening to those boy bands.

You should listen to classical music.

That'll help you play better quickly.

What's wrong?

Drive.

Okay.

To where?

Why do you think I took your case, Ms. Cha?

Money?

Sophia Chung. Nickname Jeong Bok-gi.

Because I've gotten really curious about her.

I believe you know a lot about Sophia Chung.

Don't you know her better than I do?

Don't you go way back?

As expected, Sophia and you seem to have become quite close.

Hey, Ms. Lawyer.

I don't know you very well.

So tell me about you first,

kindly.

So you want a detailed explanation?

You can

hear it from your dearest.

What I want to know is,

if Jeong Bok-gi didn't know

who I am like you didn't.

I mean, who my dad is.

A commoner?

Bullshit.

So I'm curious about her.

I want to know what she's planning.

It looks like you have no idea.

If that's what you think, feel free to do so.

You should learn to talk politely.

I think we're going to end up on the same boat.

Because my dad and I chose Kwon Hyuk-jang.

Mr. Kwon already told me about what you two have been up to,

so don't be too surprised.

So you and I

may not have the time to gossip,

but we need to prepare ourselves for what's up ahead.

Don't you agree, Spy Lee?

I mean, Team Manager Lee Jeong-hwan.

All right. But let me ask you one thing.

Is Director Oh on his own?

You don't want to go all-in because you don't want to lose it all.

I want to see the hand that I'm betting on.

Right. That must be why you kept in touch with me

while working for Mr. Kim Sang-man and weighing us.

I see how you could misunderstand.

I was just working hard as a shadow.

Don't you know very well what the higher-ups are like?

They always take the side of the winners.

Whether it be Kwon Hyuk-jang or Yoo Byung-jun.

Right.

Fine.

I'll tell you something that'll help you

make your bet.

While Mr. Kwon promised to restore your identity,

I'll promise you

your reinstatement.

Not as a shadow, but as a white collar.

All right. We're all on the same boat.

Let's begin an honest conversation.

What do you think this is?

I heard Assemblyman Yoo was just here.

You already know who he met.

That's why you sneaked in, isn't it?

This is their conversation that you wanted to hear.

Would you open up to me now?

Or would you like to just leave?

I'll hear it.

I gave it to them.

Stop putting me up to difficult tasks.

I don't want to get involved in something complicated and ruin my life.

There's ginseng in the back.

Give it to your mother.

Because someone informed me of the secret ledger.

You two will make sure that I'll get my hands on President Choi's secret ledger.

They're funny.

It's clear that who's on your side, isn't it?

All right. I'll tell you.

Sophia Chung's real name is Jeong Yoon-kyung.

Jeong Yoon-kyung.

Since when?

When did you start working with Oh Hyun-kyung?

Why do you ask?

I just want to know.

It's been about three to four years.

Then you were working

with her when I was on trial,

I, the independent panel, will rule for the case number, 2018978.

I sentence the defendant to 18 months in jail and 100 million won fine.

I know, Jeong-hwan.

I know you have nothing to do with it, but--

A detective agency's biggest clients are large law firms.

They need to collect evidence quietly.

Are you saying it's a coincidence?

Or…

did you plan it like Oh Hyun-kyung said?

Yes.

It was all planned.

Joo-eun.

You'll never understand what GK shadows do

or have to bear.

Why did you save Jeong Bok-gi?

Things went wrong from the moment you saved her.

I really don't get you.

KIM MYUNG-HYUN

President Choi's ledger.

I'll show it to you.

However, I'll only show you Assemblyman Kwon's record.

If you see the other records,

you'll be ousted

from politics in Korea.

Do you understand?

There's something you also need to understand.

I'm the future of this country.

You, along with GK, are investing in the future.

Wrap your head around that and never forget it.

Come here.

Yes, sir.

Isn't tomorrow Mr. Woo's death anniversary?

Pardon?

Yes, it is.

What? You forgot your own father's death anniversary?

No, sir. I've been looking forward to the day for several days now.

You've been looking forward to a death anniversary?

Well, what I meant was…

I'm fully prepared to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Put this on his table.

He used to enjoy them.

Thank you, sir.

-No kids yet? -Pardon?

Any good news?

No, sir.

She doesn't want to have any just yet.

How about you?

I'm sure everyone is different,

but you should have one.

It may change the way you view the world.

Yes, sir.

When it comes to women, you need to open their hearts first.

Yes, sir.

-Think about it on your way out. -Yes, sir.

What is it?

Do you want a drink?

I have a meeting.

I see. Neo Hotel's been recently remodeled.

Do you want to enjoy a spa?

Did Mr. Kim tell you to get something from me?

No.

Don't be absurd.

He just

advised that we try for a baby.

Look here, Mr. Woo Seok-ho.

Who will it be? Kim Sang-man or your father-in-law?

Think wisely.

We may not love each other, but we should protect our families.

Because that's the very reason we got married to begin with.

Wait.

We were quite close when we were young,

Hyun-kyung.

You're really ridiculous.

PORK RIBS APLENTY

-Hello. -Hello.

How many people?

I have someone waiting for me.

I see.

Would you like to order more meat?

Do you have pork rinds?

How many servings?

Two, please.

Yes, sir.

Have a drink.

Why did you come here?

To have meat.

Come on. What's wrong with this place?

Aren't you embarrassed as a father?

Joo-eun comes here all the time.

Gosh.

-Goodness. -Ma'am.

Can I drink today?

And some meat too?

-Sure. -Thank you.

This too. Thank you.

Fine. How long will you keep this up?

Rack your brain, will you?

All right, I get it.

I have a plan,

so stop ordering me around.

I never ordered you around.

You do it all the time.

"Do this, do that."

I was giving you advice, not orders.

Anyway…

You should ask your wife to fly back in.

Why? Do I look pitiful?

Yes.

My eldest kid got a scholarship to Stanford.

Congratulations.

After graduating, my kid will get a job,

get married there,

and have a great life.

This is on the house!

-What's going on? -What do you mean?

What about Jeong-hwan?

What about him?

Where is he?

Why do you ask?

I don't care.

Did you two fight?

Don't be ridiculous.

We're not kids.

Okay, so you fought.

We didn't.

About him…

What is it this time?

Jeong Hyeon-cheol.

Who?

President Choi's driver.

What about him?

Lee Jeong-hwan knew all along.

What do you mean?

But more importantly,

He was the director of All Together Church's Haneul Foundation.

Could you step on it, sir?

Okay.

SPY DETECTIVE AGENCY

His information is in Jeong-hwan's computer

back at the agency.

REPORT ON PERSONNEL JEONG HYEON-CHEOL

Jeong Hyeon-cheol, the director of Haneul Foundation,

was President Choi's driver?

"Jeong Hyeon-cheol 24 Hours"?

What is this?

Was Jeong-hwan spying on him?

"Anesthesia"?

MESSAGE SENT TO NOTIFY OTHERS OF ABSENCE WHILE ANESTHETIZED

A "will"?

MADE HIM WRITE HIS WILL WHILE SEMI-CONSCIOUS

Why did Jeong-hwan…

CASE SUMMARY JEONG HYEON-CHEOL SELF-IMMOLATION CASE

HANEUL FOUNDATION'S BOARD MEMBERS

THE BODY FOUND AT THE SCENE

He must've been very upset.

How could he set himself on fire?

That's horrific.

SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

Where are you going?

I thought we were both in on this.

What will you tell the chief?

Stop here.

Don't put yourself in a tough spot.

CHIEF JEONG DAE-SANG

Kim Myung-hyun.

What did he get up to today?

-I… -What?

I'm being ostracized.

I can't do this anymore.

I'm sorry, sir.

Why did you tell me to dig up a suicide case that's been closed?

Jeong Hyeon-cheol may be dead, but the case hasn't been resolved.

That case needs to come to light once again.

So?

I have to do it because I'm a cop?

If I do it, they'll claim that it's a conspiracy and a fake news.

You should make this public. Please.

That's all I need.

Goodbye, then.

At least give me something to work with.

President Choi's driver changed his testimony during the second trial.

Two years later, he established a foundation

and became the director of a megachurch.

That much is already in the file.

Jeong Hyeon-cheol

isn't dead, is he?

You were the ones

who investigated that case.

That's why you handed over the bugging device?

She must be confused.

She won't be sure if we have the ledger or not

and if she should trust Jeong-hwan.

Also, she won't be able to trust

Jeong Yoon-kyung as well.

So, we're going to play dirty to get what we want.

And our target is Jeong Hyeon-cheol?

That's right.

WOOK'S GUKBAP

Care for a drink?

I've always been curious…

about your past, Edward.

It took me a decade to walk through that door.

It's all here.

Kim Jae-wook's past, I mean.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this.

I did tell you.

I even made you rice soup.

Why does it smell like the countryside in here?

Aren't you hungry?

Today, we'll be having a special Korean dish.

Dried radish greens and rice soup.

Where did you learn to make this?

My father taught me. My parents used to run a rice soup restaurant.

I'm afraid I can't fall for your lies anymore. You make it so obvious.

This must be

where Yoo Byung-jun met with President Choi.

Did you really think there's only one copy of President Choi's ledger?

Yoo Byung-jun met President Choi

three times here.

At Wook's Gukbap

with a bag of money.

And your father was a witness to it all.

He even remembered the exact dates.

As if he was boasting about his incredible memory,

he testified against them for the police. And in return,

all the police officers who lied about protecting him

quit their jobs.

In order to leave their son some insurance money at the least,

him and his wife stabbed each other to death.

But why?

Why Yoo Byung-jun?

Why did you choose him?

What are you really up to?

What now?

Are you wondering if I'm plotting my revenge?

If I get revenge,

what do I get in return?

There's nothing for me to gain.

My parents died…

because they chose to die.

It was stupid and wrong.

And I…

chose this path for myself.

What did I see in you…

all this time?

Let me give you one last warning.

Don't let anyone see…

your true face.

-Yoon-kyung-- -Don't.

I've matured too much…

to trust you.

SPY DETECTIVE AGENCY

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Joo-eun?

Joo-eun, are you all right?

Joo-eun.

How did it go?

I got it.

Good work.

Joo-eun!

Joo-eun.

Joo-eun.

Joo-eun.

Joo-eun?

Jeong-hwan.

Joo-eun.

What happened?

Tell me the truth.

About what?

Did you kill him?

Did you kill Jeong Hyeon-cheol?

-Joo-eun. -I believe you.

I'm scared.

-I don't know if I can do this. -You do know

that Joo-eun was for real, right?

There was a tip-off

that someone had been laundering money through the Haneul Foundation.

How can we keep working together when you have so many secrets?

He's finally going to use the ledger.

I wanted to be successful.

I'm sorry, Joo-eun.

There was no way for me to find success within GK.
