Original subtitles

I know Bisang Textile took over the projects...

that the previous TF team used to be in charge of.

But I'm not sure if we'll get along.

I know it's just an affiliate, but you're still the CEO.

So I'll be a supportive employee.

It's not like anyone can become a CEO, right?

We used to work together,

so you know I'm a great PR manager.

You come up with great ideas, and you're very sociable.

And that makes you a very talented PR manager.

But...

the project we're working on is a collaboration with Chung Group.

So I can't just hire whomever I want.

You're the CEO. You can do anything.

I'll talk about it with Director Seo.

Please.

All the other TF team employees seem to have settled down.

I'm the only one who was left hanging.

And it feels uneasy to come to work when there's nothing to do.

You know how upsetting it can be...

when you're a woman with a long career gap.

I know you're considerate, so please take me to your time.

My son was so happy to see me working again,

so I wasn't able to tell him that the TF team disappeared.

Once you get to know me, I'm not at all that horrible.

I promise I'll do a good job of supporting you.

And who knows?

We might end up becoming friends.

I'll try my best.

Listen to me, Mr. Jang.

I didn't know you'd play so dirty.

You were always obsessed with...

managing a business in an honest and just manner,

so I had no idea you'd be cheeky enough...

to hand over the ledger to my aunt.

It made me come to a conclusion that I was right...

not to trust you from the start.

I have nothing to say, so let's stop.

I still have one more thing to say.

You lied to me and betrayed me,

and you have this unreasonable resentment toward me.

You're useless to me now, so it's time I get rid of you.

I understand that you hate me.

What? You understand me?

I guess you still don't know how angry I am right now.

I want you gone from Seorin.

I feel disgusted to even look at you right now.

Your judgment can't always be right.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm telling you not to judge based on what you see.

- Your judgement of Mr. Jang... - Ms. Lee.

That's enough.

Your misunderstandings, distrust, and anger...

are all very natural.

"Natural"?

Are you trying to say it's natural for you to love two men?

All I wanted was to fall out of love with you.

Say one more word, and I swear I'll lose it.

- Watch what you say. - Stay out of it.

Don't get involved.

This is between me and Jung Min.

I won't tell him about you.

So please leave.

I guess it'll be better for me to stay out of it.

Jung Min, I'm sorry.

I think I'm going to get severely punished.

Once my delirium symptoms get even worse,

I could become hypocritical, say absurd things,

become violent, and cause a scene.

I really think you should get some rest.

Me too.

I wanted to leave once my job was done.

But I guess I was asking for too much.

I must've been hugging Ji Eun in the lobby yesterday.

And Jung Min saw that.

I had no idea that happened while I was gone.

I feel like it's going to lead to a big mess.

What did Jung Min say about it?

He doesn't know about my condition,

so his misunderstanding got bigger, and he's furious right now.

Ji Eun must be in a pickle.

She probably knows I'm sick.

And it looks like she didn't push me away when I hugged her.

I feel like I always end up doing her harm.

But even so, Ji Eun still tried to defend me.

I never understood people who felt sorry...

for having loved someone.

But now I think I kind of get it.

I'm starting to feel sorry for having loved her at all.

To be honest, I met Ji Eun yesterday.

I told her about your heart transplant.

She was heartbroken.

I really didn't want her to know, but I guess she found out.

She must feel really bad.

I'm sorry for causing a misunderstanding.

"Misunderstanding"?

Don't you know what that word means?

A misunderstanding is when you misinterpret something.

But I saw you hugging Jang Se Hoon with my own two eyes,

so how exactly is that a misunderstanding?

You said you want to fall out of love with me again,

but don't get mistaken.

You never loved me.

So don't even bother to look guilty.

You can go ahead and love two guys at once.

That's totally up to you.

But leave me out of it.

I know hurtful experiences can change people.

But you're changing way too much.

You don't deserve to say that to me.

I was the one who abandoned you.

So I guess I'm being absurd.

Every problem has a cause.

And the cause of our problem...

is that I abandoned our love to fulfill my greed.

There's no need to give me excuses.

The stuff you said to me...

doesn't matter to me anymore.

There you are. I looked for you everywhere.

I'm sorry.

We need to go to the store to do market research, right?

Work should come first.

Once you take a look at how the products are being sold,

you're able to communicate better with the customers.

And you develop your own method to satisfy...

all their different demands.

And if you work at the store,

you can stay more up-to-date with the trend.

How do you predict the trend?

I don't predict anything, but I study social issues...

such as politics, economics, and culture.

I also read different design reports...

and always ask myself what the consumers expect...

from our products.

I heard Bisang Textile is hiring new recruits.

We still have to do the interview,

but thankfully, a lot of people applied for the job.

I should've applied for a job at Bisang Textile as well.

I know we're an affiliate of Seorin Group,

but we can't pay you a lot because we're still a small company.

Is Director Seo free right now?

Just a second, sir.

Even if he provokes you, don't react to it.

Losing is winning.

Tell him...

I'm not in the mood to meet him.

You may leave.

You're still higher than me in rank,

so I'll treat you accordingly.

Are you a bit calmer now?

Are you here to start a fight?

Please give this to the board.

It'll take some time to set up a new board anyway.

Sure.

I'll take care of the rest of my work at home.

You told me you're disgusted to even look at me,

so I'm sure it's what you want.

It can take a long time to hesitate,

but enthusiasm can get destroyed in an instant.

Ji Eun and I aren't in any kind of relationship.

I don't care what's going on between you two.

Do you understand?

Please leave if you're done.

There might be more to what meets the eye.

You might understand once you find out.

"Understand"? What do I need to understand?

Why should I understand you?

You don't need to understand me.

And the most useless and cowardly excuse one can give...

is to want people to understand yourself.

But today, I'd still like to make an excuse.

So please hear me out.

I won't deny that I didn't like you when we first met.

You were born with a silver spoon,

and I was bothered by how laid back and relaxed you seemed.

I sometimes felt like we might've gotten along...

if Ji Eun never became a problem between us.

Because I could tell that you were very different...

from the late chairman.

But I started to get competitive with you,

and we hit a point of no turning back.

How long do I need to keep listening to this boring story?

You have all the best qualities to become a great leader.

You're quick to make decision, competitive,

magnanimous, and smart.

That's why I chose to help you when you decided...

to reform the company.

But of course, I ended up making a mistake that day.

"A mistake"? Did you just say you made a mistake?

Don't you remember my telling you that the ledger...

was my lifeline?

If you really trusted me,

you wouldn't have given me an empty ledger.

I don't care what was inside that ledger.

That ledger was empty to begin with,

and what mattered was whether or not it could find its way back to me.

I'm saying I needed to find out whether or not...

I could trust you enough to cooperate with you.

You needed to find out?

In the end, you just wanted to test me.

But what matters is that I let Chairwoman Seo take the ledger,

which means my subconsciousness hates you.

After all, it's hard to change how you feel for someone.

The point is that you betrayed me.

It's true that I betrayed you, so I'm sorry.

It's just an absurd rumor.

I heard you got kicked out for having cheated on the chairman.

Everyone in our gathering has heard the news.

I heard you even have a daughter.

I guess you heard it from Chairwoman Seo.

Does that mean you admit it?

I no longer wish to buy the paintings I was planning to buy.

I heard the late chairman's family is getting ready to file a suit,

and I don't want to get involved. Let's hang up.

This is the eighth VIP customer who canceled on me.

If all your customers cancel on buying the paintings,

it's going to give you financial pressure.

You won't be able to buy any more of Seorin's shares.

If you wish to keep going,

I advise you to hold hands with Chairwoman Seo.

Not that easily.

I'll have her steal...

the list of my borrowed-name accounts...

and the fabricated will from Jung Min.

She won't be able to do that.

Seo Jung Min has his guard up now that he knows what she wants.

That's up to her to figure out.

Buy me a chiffon cake.

I guess you're having troubles selling paintings...

seeing that you're here.

Thanks to you, I became an adulteress.

You were never registered on our family register,

so I wouldn't call you an adulteress.

- Do you want me to leave? - Just stand there.

But I know you're going to sit down.

Let's cut to the chase.

There's going to be a general shareholders' meeting soon.

If you help me become the chairwoman that day,

I'll be able to get rid of Jung Min from the chairman's office...

and become its rightful owner.

I can't give you the borrowed-name accounts.

But I'll help you become the chairwoman.

Why are you so eager to stay around...

when you could just cut ties with our family?

I'm sure Mr. Son told you everything.

Yes.

I heard my brother made your family go bankrupt.

And I'd like to apologize on his behalf.

But listen, Myung Hwa.

Doing what's right isn't always the same thing...

as doing what you can do.

You had a turbulent life.

And I get that things were tough.

But you totally wasted your life...

by living with my brother just to get revenge.

He did a lot more damage to me than you think.

You've never been through it, so you have no right to judge.

I don't want to get involved...

in your ill-fated relationship with my late brother.

I just need to get what I want.

Then let me begin by telling you what I want.

If I don't use my borrowed-name accounts to vote for you,

Jung Min will still be the biggest shareholder...

even if he sells a few of them.

How many times must I tell you?

That's why you just need to vote for me.

I want you to steal the fabricated will...

and the list of my borrowed-name accounts from Jung Min.

Do you think I'm a pickpocket? How am I going to do that?

You know how to get things done, so I'm sure you'll find a way.

Women have the ability...

to get what they want by asking.

I'm talking about Ji Eun.

I'll be getting off work soon.

Please do me a favor.

Se Hoon isn't doing well, so please come to Se Hoon's house.

Yes, of course. I should meet him.

I'm sure you and Ji Eun have a lot to talk about.

Thank you for understanding.

Can I be honest with you?

I hate what you're doing right now.

It's like you're saying goodbye to her before dying.

I need to meet Ji Eun now that she knows my condition.

That will make me feel at ease.

I know you need to do this.

And I no longer have any right to get involved in your life.

That's not true, Mi Ran.

Do you remember telling me...

that you both loved and hated me at the same time?

Love comes in many different forms.

And I truly loved you too.

Will.

Let's go back to the States.

Nothing good happened after we came to Korea.

You might get a heart transplant a lot faster in the States.

I looked into it.

Even if you're a different race, you're still able to receive...

an organ transplant from someone who have similar genes.

It might be easier to find a donor there.

I already signed up for a transplant in the States.

I feel so upset that there's nothing I can do but wait.

I feel so bad that there's nothing I can do.

What are you talking about?

You always cook for me every morning.

It won't take long. I'll call you once Ji Eun's gone.

Will can't get too emotional.

Please do me a favor.

You must've been startled.

Yes, I was.

I didn't want you to find out.

You should've made sure I never did.

I'm sorry.

You should be sorry.

You really should be sorry.

So...

if you don't want me to remember you as someone who hurt me,

you need to stay alive.

Don't die and stay alive.

I want to live.

I really can't do this anymore. Be honest with me.

Are we breaking up?

Yes.

Why do you make me feel so lonely?

What did you really want?

What was the deal?

He offered to help me rebuild Bisang Apparel...

in return for breaking up with you.

In return for breaking up with me?

Then when were you planning to break up with me?

I'm sorry.

I never should've loved you.

Ji Eun.

You never loved me.

If you truly loved me,

you wouldn't have used our love to make a deal.

Jung Min, I love you.

The way you smile, how you sound when you're stubborn,

how you look when you're angry,

the way you tease me,

how honest and warm-hearted you are...

I love everything about you.

You liar.

Jung Min, please help me.

Will is dying.

You can help me.

You're the crown prince of Seorin Group.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

Please help me save Will.

What do you mean? Be more specific.

He has end-stage heart failure.

He's going to die if he doesn't get a heart transplant.

Is Mi Ran living with you and taking care of you here?

I told her to do what she wants.

I also owe her a lot.

You did the right thing.

I'm glad she's here for you.

I resigned today.

Work is the least of your problems right now.

I wanted to try my best with Jung Min.

When I saw how he willingly...

get investigated by the prosecution regarding his illegal succession,

I was able to put down my prejudice against him.

And when he told me that he wishes to reform Seorin,

I felt a spark of enthusiasm deep down in my heart.

I'm sorry...

for misunderstanding you and getting angry at you.

I was really upset.

But it's true that I gave the ledger to Chairwoman Seo.

So I have nothing to say.

It looks like Jung Min has a big misunderstanding.

What are you going to do?

I feel like it's best not to do anything.

Ji Eun.

Our love was full of passion.

But we had no responsibility for each other.

Of course, we were young, inexperienced,

and we only cared about our own scars.

But now, we're a bit older.

If we had met now,

I would've loved you a lot more maturely.

I'm sorry I wasn't kind to you.

Please forgive me...

for blaming you for everything.

Who am I to forgive you?

I've come to realize...

that just because you love someone doesn't mean you're meant to be.

But you and Jung Min are different.

I'm someone from your past memory,

but Jung Min...

can be your present and future.

I came to talk about you.

Let's talk about us.

Yes. Us.

Hearing the word "us" makes my heart ache so much.

Ji Eun.

I'm sorry, but can you give me a cup of water?

Does it hurt?

It's okay. Just get me a cup of water.

Se Hoon.

Se Hoon.

Where's Mr. Jang? Is he okay? Where is he?

He suddenly disappeared.

I think he has delirium symptoms.

What if something happens to him?

(Phoenix 2020)

- There he is. It's Mr. Jang. - Jung Min, hurry.

Mr. Jang, stay right there!

Se Hoon! Stay there! Don't move!

- Mr. Jang! - Se Hoon!
