The surgery went well,
but he's still unconscious?

Yes.

Is it possible
that he might not wake up?

To put it simply,
it's as if he's asleep.

He makes sounds
and murmurs from time to time.

And he reacts to people
talking to him,

so it's possible for him
to regain his consciousness.

But...

he might've experienced
a very big trauma,

and that might be keeping him
from waking up.

Let's see how he recovers.

I'll have to figure out what kind
of trauma he experienced.

It looks like your son will have
to pay for your sins.

(Taesan University Hospital)

Do you know what
"wag the dog" means?

It means it's not the dog
that wags its tail.

It's the tail
trying to create a diversion.

I won't let that witch
get things her way.

Situations can change.

And I'll be the one
to turn the tables around.

That's why your close aides matter.

(2 days ago, Christmas)

I was conciliated
and I compromised.

And I lost my responsibility
as the brand manager.

I'll hand in
my resignation tomorrow.

Sit down.

I need you to help me figure out
what Director Choi's intention is.

You're partially
responsible for this.

So do as I say.

First, I need to buy time
while making her think...

that things are going her way.

I need to find out
what she has up her sleeve...

and why she resents me so much.

Her spitefulness...

could put our entire company
in danger.

(Chairman Seo Mun Su)

Give her what you brought.

Mr. Son will call you
when it's necessary.

You may leave now.

I heard a rich Chinese bought
the publication rights...

of Yoon Mi Ran's photo exhibition.

I want you to check if it's true.

I also want you to find someone
in the secretary team...

and have that person tail
Choi Myung Hwa.

And install a GPS tracker
on her car.

Do a background check, find out
where she spends her money,

and whom she meets.
I want to know...

every little thing about her.

Do you find my face
more amusing than your book?

Your face always fascinates me.

You're like a different woman
every day.

Is that a compliment?

Those who are attractive
have something special about them.

What made you get attracted to me?

You didn't easily open up to me,
so it made me get curious about you.

You were elegant and daring.

But you were also quite cold,
and I found it attractive.

You know how to speak your word,
but you always do things my way.

And that got me bewitched.

That means you're in a state
where you can't think straight.

But you're a very rational
and logical man.

I'm very emotional
when it comes to you.

That's why there are so many things
I don't know about you.

What do you not know about me?

I don't know much.

I don't know
whom your first love was,

how you grew up,

and whom your best friend is.

What makes you curious
all of a sudden?

I never grew up with
any special traumas,

and I didn't have
a difficult childhood.

I just had a normal life.

But I had very high standards
when it came to men.

So no man was able...

to catch my interest
until you came along.

And you know about
my inferiority complex.

I wanted to be a painter,
but I wasn't talented enough.

So I became a curator instead.

But I had a hard time
accepting reality.

Life doesn't always go
the way we want it to go.

That's how we unexpectedly
ended up together like this.

Yes, it was unexpected.

That makes me think a lot.

About what?

I think I'm getting old.

It feels like my life keeps
trying to tell me something.

It's best to live a simple life.

But as you already know,
I've been through a lot.

I don't ever do business
that doesn't leave me profit,

so I'm sure that left many people
to resent me.

And money is scarier than knives.

So there must be a lot of people
who hold a deep grudge.

Did Mi Ran's
photo exhibition go well?

Yes, it ended well.

From what I know,
you paid her a lot of money.

Did you sell the publication rights?

It's impossible
to sell it that quickly.

The exhibition ended today.

You're a very competent woman,

so I thought
you might've sold it in advance.

Just leave
the gallery work to me, sir.

It would've been nice
if you also came by today...

instead of spending Christmas
at home all by yourself.

I'm too old to celebrate
that kind of stuff.

Aren't you going to sleep?

I'm all awake again.

I'm going to get some
sleeping pills from my study.

I finally see her
for whom she really is.

She lies to me so easily.

When Myung Hwa goes
to meet you tomorrow,

tell her that the test results
came out really bad.

Tell her you found it too late.

No, tell her my aneurysm
could easily rupture...

if I experience any kind of shock.

Just tell her...

it wasn't visible until now
because of the hematoma.

You're a doctor,
so she won't doubt you.

I can't explain
everything to you right now.

So please just do as I say for now.

I'll call you tomorrow at work.

- What do you need?
- What are you doing?

I keep having really bad headaches.

And I don't have
a lot of energy these days.

It's probably because
you have a lot on your mind.

You're the only person who will
take care of me until the day I die.

So I should be good to you.

You're already doing
more than enough for me.

When you're near death, they say
you're able to see through people.

And I can see right through you.

You have no greed.

Don't say you're near death.

And the only thing I desire
is to keep you healthy.

By the way,

I have a breakfast meeting tomorrow
with a few people from the FSS.

I'd like you to visit Dr. Lee...

and check the test results
on my behalf.

(Seorin)

(Chairman Seo Mun Su)

Come to my office.

Throw it on the ground.

Throw it harder.

Don't tell me...

you just threw this at her.

Even if I did something worse,

she'd still have nothing to say.

There were no Chinese guests
on the VIP list.

The Chinese mother and daughter...

were secretly hired by your wife.

My blood is boiling right now.

I know I'm trying to protect her,

but when I lied down next to her
to sleep last night,

I got goosebumps
and couldn't sleep a wink.

If her plan isn't to steal my money,

then why else would she want
to damage my business?

It must be because she has
a grudge against me, right?

If you take a look,

you'll find out
what your wife is after.

(Certified copy of family register)

(Certified copy of
real estate register)

I couldn't find anything peculiar
regarding her personal information.

But as you can see
on the real estate register,

all the buildings and land
that she owned...

were either sold
or held as collateral.

She already sold the land
she used to own...

in Jeju Island and Haeundae.

And she secretly put up
the buildings in Cheongdam-dong,

Yeoksam-dong, and Mangwon-dong
for sale.

It looks like she used
all that cash...

to buy our company's stocks
with a borrowed name.

Find every single borrowed name
account that she owns.

And she would've tried to stir up
all the executives...

who aren't very happy with me,

so do a background check
on them as well.

Wait.

I want you to make another copy
of my legal seal.

Make one with
a slightly different calligraphy.

And install a spy camera
in my study.

Will you spare
some time for me tonight?

Why do you think?

It's the end of the year,
so I want to buy you a fancy dinner.

Why did you suddenly get me flowers?

An entire year has passed.

It's our year-end date,
so I couldn't come empty-handed.

Every time I see lilies,

they remind me of you.
They look exactly like you.

Do you know what their meaning is?

Unchanging love.

Unchanging love?

But lilies also have
a very strong fragrance.

So some say you could even die...

if you sleep
in a room full of lilies.

It's probably a way to express
their strong fragrance.

It might also be a way
to express how beautiful they are.

You're as beautiful as those lilies,
and that's why I fell for you.

You completely changed my life.

So let's say I fell for you.

Are you having problems with...

letting Jung Min
succeed the company?

Why would there be any problems?

I know money is the law...

and that you can do anything
with money.

But sometimes,
money can't solve everything.

I'm just concerned.

You used the holding company...

to issue convertible bonds
at a very low price.

And although the stockholders
of Seorin Fashion Group...

should be given priority
over those bonds,

you're pretty much forcing them
to give up their rights.

I know that's how Jung Min
will be able to become...

the second biggest stockholder
of the group,

but people can always
change their minds.

But then again,
you made them sign a memorandum,

so I guess it will prevent them
from breaking their promise.

I always knew you were clever,

but you know a lot more
about business than I thought.

By the way, honey,

I know you're secretly getting ready
for Jung Min to take over,

but if things go south,
he could end up getting arrested.

And you'd be guilty
for dereliction of duty.

Why would you say that
after eating an expensive meal?

I'm just saying
you should do your best...

to please those who have
decided to support you.

Give them some valuable paintings
from the gallery.

You really do deserve to be
the chairman's wife.

Should we ask for dessert?

Sure.

Choi Myung Hwa.

Sit back and watch
how I turn the tables around.

Do you have work?

I'm waiting for Jung Min...

to give me an update regarding
his business trip to Hong Kong.

And I need to look over
a few documents.

You can go to bed without me.

Let me know if you need me.

When is a good date for you?

It's not serious,
but you need to get surgery fast.

It's less than 2mm.

There's no rupture,

so you'll be able to recover as long
as you get an aneurysm embolization,

so don't worry.

There's something I need to finish.

It'll be done in less than a week.
Let's have the surgery then.

You haven't forgotten about
the favor I asked you, right?

I know I agreed to help
because you insisted on it,

but I don't know if this is right.

She hasn't even mentioned
anything to me...

even after you told her
about my condition.

I knew she was
waiting for me to die.

I need to make sure
this doesn't fail.

I'm fighting against
a cunning witch.

I won't be able to win
if I show her my cards.

In order to have control
over that sly woman,

I need to have her fooled first.

The safe is unlocked.
You may open the safe.

Will you please knock
before you come in?

Why is your headache
getting worse these days?

The test results came out fine.

My head hurts like crazy.

When is Dr. Lee coming back
from the conference?

I went to hear the results
because you were busy last time,

and that's when he told me...

that the test results show
that you're healthy.

The brain test also came out fine.

It's a lot healthier
than the average person.

I want to make sure I live
at least a day longer than you.

We'll live a long life together,

and once it's time for us
to leave this world,

I should make sure
I die the day after you die...

so I can see you off
and follow you soon after.

We still have
many more days to live.

Don't be so depressing
starting from the morning.

I feel a bit restless today...

because I dreamed of
Jung In last night.

I guess you had a lot
to take care of before work.

Yes, I sent an email
to Chairman Chung...

saying I'd like to fire Lee Ji Eun.

Can you open the safe
and bring me a box?

I don't know the passcode
to your safe.

It's your birthday.
Didn't you know that?

Really?

Bring out a box and wrap it nicely.

It's a gift for Chairman Chung.

Sure.

The safe is unlocked.
The safe is open.

The fastest way
to get fooled by someone...

is to believe that you're smarter
than everyone else.

And it's my job to burn
the trash I found in my house.

Although I was able to walk again,

I had to wait until I could
tell you the exciting news...

because I was blackmailed
by Lee Ji Eun.

She pressured me
to go up on stage...

at the Styling Event...

What do you want?

It wouldn't be fun
if I tell you right away.

You should figure it out.

But according to Dr. Lee,
you don't have much time left.

He told me you'll collapse
if you get shocked.

And because you have
a large aneurysm,

I heard it could explode
even with a small amount of stress.

But I guess you're pretty tenacious
seeing that you're still okay.

What caused you to bear
such a deep grudge against me?

Tell me!

If I tell you that,
your aneurysm will explode.

If you want to live,
pick them up yourself.

You shouldn't die so easily.

Let me tell you this before you die.

I'm Baek Soon Ju,
the daughter of Baek Dong Hoon,

the late owner of Taeyang Textile.

It gave me the creeps
the way she looked at me...

with contempt and hatred.

People say when a woman
conspires something,

she never gives up
until she succeeds.

It's so shocking
that I don't know what to say.

She got rid of her old life
as Baek Soon Ju,

and turned herself
into a different person.

So that's why we couldn't find
anything regarding Choi Myung Hwa.

I want you to do
a background check again.

And find out everything you can
about Taeyang Textile.

These darn idiots.

I'll use this chance
to get rid of all these punks.

It'll take a few more days
to find evidence to prove...

her purchase of
the borrowed name accounts...

and how she managed
to get all that money.

And I've been keeping in touch
with the chief prosecutor.

We need to get this done in a week.

While I'm in here,

she'll launder the money through
Myeong-dong and foreign banks...

to convert the borrowed-name stocks
into her own.

This is the best time
to turn the tables around.

She's in for some big damage.

She lied to me for 10 years,

so she'll need to suffer
for at least 20 years.

I know you're here to apologize.

I'm sorry that's all I can ever say.

Why did you even date
a woman like her?

Because she was
the complete opposite of you.

I came because I have
something to ask.

Why did you send me
Mi Ran's videos?

I guess you remember
the name "Chance".

It was the name of the street cat...

that came by your studio every day
to eat food.

We found him
after he got hit by a car.

And the vet told us he was lucky...

for not missing the golden hour.

Thanks to you,
I was given enough time to think,

and that put me at ease.

But of course, it ended up
complicating things a little more.

When Mi Ran invited us for dinner
on Christmas Eve,

she told me you caught her
being able to walk again.

I thought about it,
and Director Choi was the one...

who unexpectedly made Mi Ran
go up on stage at the Styling Event.

And although you didn't tell me,

I had a hunch that you might've
seen Mi Ran walk.

When we ran into each other
that day,

you told me you decided
to compromise...

because you didn't want things
to get out of control.

I know you a little.

And I figured you'd do what you can
to make up for what you regret.

"Regret"?

It looks like you're the one
who will end up regretting this.

Don't get the wrong idea, Jung Min.

I won't.

It's obvious that he came here
to meet you...

because he couldn't control
his feelings.

Listen, Mr. Jang.

I clearly warned you...

not to do anything to cause trouble.

Whether it was a coincidence
or an ill-fated relationship,

what happened today...

wouldn't have occurred
if you were no longer around.

I'm no longer going to be
easy on you.

It sounds like
you're threatening to fire me.

Is there a reason not to fire you?

Your scandal ruined
our company image,

and you're an incompetent CEO,
so it's natural I want you gone.

That's enough, Jung Min.

Ji Eun, please don't get involved.

I'm very close to exploding.

Why would you talk to her that way?

Look at you.

You're still acting like
you're her husband.

How much more of this nonsense
am I supposed to put up with?

Let's talk after he's gone.

I'm tired of having him...

getting involved in between us.

I know I should hold my anger,

but I don't think I can anymore.

Don't stop yourself
because I won't either.

I want Ji Eun back in my life.

Don't provoke him.

You're being so immature.

Let's go. Don't respond to that.

A man who breaks a woman's heart
repeats the same mistake.

But there are others who never
make their woman cry.

Jung Min.

You'd better stop acting up...

if you don't want to end up
regretting anything.

I have a lot of things
that could get you in trouble.

Accounting fraud, illegal transfer,

illegal gifts,
and inside transactions.

And that's not all.

Do you want me to go through
all the evidence and witnesses?

With all that,
I could get you locked up.

What an amusing threat.

Then go ahead and look forward
to how much I can destroy you.

Humans are born...

with the gift to destroy themselves.

Don't resent me.

He provoked me first,
and I'm going to bring him down.

(Phoenix 2020)

Can I get a hug?

I'm really exhausted today.

You know you're
my everything, right?

You're the only man I want...

in my life.

The chairman's hospital
is kept confidential.

You will get to see his will
after a week.

Why do you want to be
such a nice woman to Jung Min?

Can't you just let me
be happy with him?

What if I want you by my side
even if you hate and resent me?
