Jung Min, I met her
three times today.

And I already like her so much.

Hey, watch it.

She's the CEO of Bisang Textile,
one of our affiliate companies.

Greet her with respect.

You're the CEO?
I see you're a successful woman.

Where are your manners?

Gosh, Jung Min.

You've become so lame
now that you're in a suit and tie.

Do I need to apologize?

Women like it when men apologize,
don't they?

I don't want an insincere apology.

But it would've been better
if you were a bit more polite.

Ms. Lee.

This odd guy right here is
Chairman Chung's son.

To be more exact,
I'm his stepson.

Chairman Chung did tell me
that he got remarried.

Hello, I'm Lee Ji Eun,
CEO of Bisang Textile.

I don't shake hands with women.

I hug them.

What are you doing?

It's my way of greeting you. A hug.

My gosh, cut it out.
You deserve a scolding.

We were pretty close
way before his mother...

got remarried with Chairman Chung.

We were just "pretty close"?
It hurts to hear you say that.

Back when we studied in Boston,

we were pretty much inseparable.
We were like brothers.

I know a lot about Jung Min's past.

Cut it out.

Are you single?

What do you think about me?

I'm already in love
with someone else.

Director Seo, I'll be off now.

I like...

how straightforward she is.

I must say, roses are the best.

Their thorns make them look sexy.

Cut the nonsense. Let's go.

Here.

This is Ji Eun's first dinner
with her employees...

after she became the CEO
of Bisang Textile.

Don't you think this is too simple?

What are you talking about?
There's meat, seafood, and chicken.

It's not simple at all.

Where's the chicken?

Right here.
Braised chicken with vegetables.

It's chicken.

Sook, you've never been
to a team dinner, have you?

"Sook"? Who's that?

Sook. Hyun Sook.
I was talking to you.

My gosh, you give me goosebumps.
Don't call me that.

Then what do you want me
to call you?

Call me Chairwoman Jo.

My daughter's a CEO now,
so that makes me the chairwoman.

Okay, I'll call you Chairwoman Jo.

- There they are.
- Hello.

- Welcome.
- Hello.

Guys, this is my mother.

- Hello.
- Hello.

And he's her boyfriend.

Come here and take your seats.

- Okay.
- Come sit down.

Goodness, hey.

What are you doing here?
You don't work at Ji Eun's company.

I volunteered to help out
with their work for a while.

Bisang Textile is Seorin's affiliate
just like our home shopping company.

Plus, I'm good at multi-tasking
even though I'm a merchandiser.

Yes, you're right.

I saw you hosting a show
on the home shopping channel.

You were good.

I got convinced
and bought that item.

Really?

Your father must be proud to have
such a diligent son.

Mr. Kang.

Let's shoot a video again next week
to find your son.

Okay.

Take a seat.

Yes!

We used to throw noodles
and make bets all the time.

I always lost
because of my impatience.

Do you still like making bets?

You know I overflow
with testosterone.

If I win a bet,
I get a dopamine rush.

Yes, of course.

You really hate losing.

That's why we got along so well.

I was looking forward to
eating your meat sauce.

Just eat what you get, you punk.

Why? Cook me some meat sauce.
It's been ages.

My gosh.

You're banned from saying
"meat sauce" from now on.

Something must've happened
the last time you made meat sauce.

Jung Min, the sauce
boiled down too much.

Gosh, there's not much left.

I really can't do this anymore.

Jung Min, do you remember?

Remember when we played ping pong
with frying pans?

We broke the handle, so we stuck
a baseball glove to replace it.

Yes, I remember.

Elisa ended up
dropping that frying pan...

and covering the entire
kitchen floor with beef stew.

She got so angry at you
saying she dropped it...

because you suddenly...

She always thought I was a pushover.

I was the only person who listened
to her complaints.

Jung Min, do you know...

why Elisa cooked beef stew that day?

She knew you'd want beef stew
since you had a cold.

So she forced me to wake up
early in the morning...

to go grocery shopping with her.

Really?

I miss her.

We used to be the three musketeers.

Jung Min.

Why didn't you answer her call...

the day before she died?

You know...

that I couldn't give her the bag.

That stupid brat.

Jung Min, do you have cola?

Cola? It's in the fridge.

Hey, don't throw it!

I told you not to throw cola
because it makes bubbles.

Gosh, you never listen.

That's what makes me so charming.

So what's your plan?

What do you mean?

I know Chairman Chung asked me
to keep my eyes on you.

But are you even interested
in the business?

The entire world knows
that I'm his second wife's son.

And we're not biologically related
to each other at all.

I know my stepdad is a good man.

And right now,
he's head over heels for my mom.

But...

his biological sons will
surely keep me in check.

So I need to do something
to prove myself.

I want you to teach me...

how to run a business.

You're young and ambitious.
I wish you all the best.

Good luck.

What did you just say?

If you think we have a deep
friendship, drink the entire glass.

My gosh.

Gosh, you're so cheeky.

You told me you were going to
go home right after the meeting,

but you came running over here
when I told you...

that everyone will be getting gifts.

Hey, we agreed to talk to each other
like friends just for today.

So stop using honorifics.

You told me you're going to
give us 7.5g of pure gold...

to celebrate the foundation
of Bisang Textile...

on the exact same foundation day
as Bisang Apparel.

Anyone would've done the same.

I like that you're so open
about being materialistic.

I thought you'd be the same,

but it's a pity that you're not.

Will you put down
your phone already?

And wake him up.

Let me finish sending a text.

We're done playing the friend game.

"We're done
playing the friend game."

She always does whatever she wants.

- Hey, hey.
- What?

Let's wrap this up.

Why don't you say something
before we do?

Ms. Kim, have you decided to be
a suck-up?

She hired me even though I was
just a housewife.

I should stay loyal no matter what.

We're all outsiders.
No one else would've hired us.

Leave me out of it.

I'm nowhere near being an outsider.

Okay, everyone.

In order to become someone special,

you need to put in a lot of work.

Ms. Kim, Ms. Han,

Ms. Choi, and Yeo Jin.

You all looked like
hard-working people to me.

Ms. Kim, I liked your honesty.

Here's your change.

I think you made a mistake.
You gave me more.

Thank you.

Ms. Han,
I liked how desperate you were.

You know how upsetting it can be...

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

My son was so happy
to see me working again,

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

Ms. Choi, I liked your confidence.

(Graphic Technology Qualification)

I got certified in Microsoft Word.

I got certified
in Adobe Illustrator.

I have a license in baking.

I'm a certified barista.

I'm a licensed
telemarketing administrator.

And I also have a license in
Industrial Engineer Floral Design.

I have 12 certifications in total.

Do you not hire
high-school graduates?

I need to make money.

My dad's retired,
and my mom's hospitalized.

So I need to work 2 to 3 jobs.

You know how good I am
as a merchandiser.

And I also liked Yeo Jin
for being able to juggle...

2 to 3 jobs all at once.

That's why I think
we're all special.

Dreams come true
if you give them a little time.

So let's try to hang in there
even though we're still very small.

Let's work hard to build
a special company.

Cheers!

Everyone.

Let's wish each other good luck.

Okay then.

Let's all wish the person
in front of us a better future.

- I wish you a better future!
- I wish you a better future!

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Great.

- I think you drank too much.
- This is nice.

(Taesan University Hospital)

Seo Jung Min saved Jang Se Hoon
from getting into an accident...

after he showed symptoms
of delirium.

And he even moved him
to a VIP ward.

It looks like
he's looking after him a lot.

Wouldn't this motivate Jang Se Hoon
to stand on his side?

Jang Se Hoon is
about to get surgery,

so he may waver right now,

but humans can be very cunning.

He'll begin to reconsider
once he becomes healthy again.

In the end,
we're all similar human beings.

People come up
with justifications...

or think they're doing righteous
by fighting against injustice,

but they all do it
for their own good.

Mr. Ha.

Yes?

Go to Jang Se Hoon's house...

and find anything
that could become his weakness.

I'll call you.

I need to make sure
Jang Se Hoon lets go...

of Seo Jung Min's hand.

Okay, I understand.

Tomorrow, you'll be getting...

a heart and lung scan
including an abdominal ultrasound.

And because of
the abdominal ultrasound,

you can't eat anything
for over eight hours.

It's not 9 p.m. yet.

So should I get you some fruit?

No, it's okay.
Just go home and get some rest.

I'm worried you might collapse.

I feel better staying here with you.

How can you be so indifferent?

Our ancestors used to say...

it's best to tell people you're sick
if you want to quickly recover.

That way,
you'll be able to get help...

and quickly find a way
to get treated.

Thank you for your concern.

Mi Ran, you used to give him
a hard time,

but you're taking great care of him.

Why are you here?

Why do you think?
I came to visit him since he's sick.

We held hands and promised
to divide Seorin into two.

So it's natural that I come
before the surgery.

When you approach a sharp curve,
you get flustered...

and lose track of reality.

Don't give me any excuses.

Let me tell you something.

You and Jung Min can never be
on the same side.

Do you know why?

You may be holding hands now,

but a ship only needs one captain.

And you're both not the type
who yields to anyone.

Stop provoking a patient.
You should just go.

Mi Ran didn't tell you, did she?

I'm Mi Ran's biological mother.

Yeo Jin, wake up.

- Yeo Jin.
- I don't want to go home.

- Wake up.
- No.

Bok Ja.

Your boyfriend's really drunk.
He didn't even drink that much.

I guess he got drunk quickly
because he's been exhausted.

I already give him
a hard time at work,

but he also works 2 to 3 extra jobs.

So that's probably why he's tired.

I feel bad for him. It's upsetting.

When someone in your family is sick,
it requires a lot of money.

I offered to lend him money,

but he got angry at me
saying he'll take care of it.

I guess he wants to be all manly
because he's younger than me.

Bok Ja, you must like him a lot.

Obviously.
That's why I'm dating him.

He liked me one-sidedly
for 10 years.

I'm actually grateful.
I mean, what's so great about me?

What are you talking about?
You have all the right to be loved.

Ji Eun, here's what I think.

It's pretty much impossible for me
to marry Yeo Jin...

because I'm 10 years older than him.

And things may be okay right now,

but as time goes by,
our age gap could cause an issue.

I want to age naturally.

I don't want to force myself
to look young...

by wearing makeup
and dressing a certain way.

I guess all couples
have problems of their own.

But do you know
how I'm different from you?

I was more courageous
about my feelings.

If you care too much
for the other person,

they say you only end up
growing further apart.

I hoped you'd muster up your courage
to be with Jung Min.

You were finally given
another chance to love again.

That's why I didn't want
to let him go.

But I chose a different path.

The late Chairman Seo...

offered to help me rebuild Bisang.

The moment he did,
I suddenly thought of my dad.

Then I thought of Jung Min.

But I still couldn't stop
thinking of my dad.

Bok Ja.

Letting go of Jung Min...

was the only thing I could do.

I'd love to have both,
but if I have to choose one,

I have to choose my dad
over my own life.

It's my fault that he died.

It was an accident.

People who care about me...

tell me that it wasn't my fault.

But that can't change the truth.

I don't resent Se Hoon.

But you have no idea...

how much I regret
choosing him over my dad...

even though I knew
it was going to break...

my dad's heart.

So this time,
I have to choose my dad...

over my love.

But...

I miss Jung Min so much.

It's nice to have my girlfriend
carry me on her back.

Hey, I didn't come here
to please you.

- Gosh, I'm exhausted.
- Then did you come...

because I told you I was
the only guy?

You're mentally ill.

You're right.

I was hurt when you said it's
going to be impossible to marry me.

So I guess you could say
I'm mentally ill.

How much did you hear?

Why is that important?

What's important is that I'm hurt.

I guess you didn't hear
what I said before that.

What did you say?

Why would I tell that
to a petty man?

My gosh.

My scarf.

I think I left it at the restaurant.

Just come back for it next time.

What if someone takes it?
You got me that scarf.

My gosh.

- What are you doing?
- Babe.

I have a headache.
Can you go get it for me?

- No.
- My gosh.

I do everything
you tell me to do at work.

But outside,
you agreed to do as I say.

My goodness.

Director Nam, get going already.

You're dead tomorrow at work.

This is so annoying.

Hey, open the car door.

No.

The cold air will help you sober up.

She's more like a kid than I am.

I came because
I had nowhere else to go.

Good. I'm glad you came.

Take a seat.

Do not be worried

Let's just sing together

Just bury all the bad memories

Deep down in your heart

I'm quite likable, aren't I?

I always end up laughing
when I'm with you.

(Call Me)

Call Me.

I saved it like that so you can
call me whenever.

I'm no longer able
to call you whenever.

Okay, there we go.

- Yes!
- No!

See that? You're no match for me.

Do you play games all the time
instead of working?

Let's play another round.

(Director Nam Bok Ja)

- Let's play another round.
- Be quiet.

Hey, Director Nam. What's up?

Is she badly drunk?

Okay, I understand.
Thank you for calling me.

Okay, bye.

What is it?
Is there something wrong?

You don't need to know.
Aren't you going to leave?

I'm going to stay here.

I can sleep and eat here for free.

Do as you wish.

Are you going somewhere?

Can you go to my room
and bring me my coat?

I should always do what you ask.

Ms. Lee always comes to work
30 minutes early.

And she drives past the crosswalk
500m away from the company building.

I'll hang up now.

My goodness.

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

You're pretty.

I'll let you off the hook
since you're pretty.

She's going to find Ellie today?

Tell her the address I wrote...

on the envelope of the portfolio.

I don't care if Ms. Lee
ends up resenting me.

Aren't you the guy
I met this morning?

You're a suspicious woman.

Did you follow me here?

Ms. Lee will be out in the lobby
in 10 minutes...

because she has a meeting
with a client.

Hey, Jung Min. I'm here.

Get down here. I'm hungry.

Who knows? Maybe we're
destined to be with each other.

"Destined"?
Did you really just say that?

Do you believe in destiny?

I feel like I should say "yes"...

to make you fall for me.

Listen. I believe in destiny.

And I know for sure
that you're not destined for me.

Hey, Jung Min. Over here.

I'm going to destroy everything
and everyone you love, Jung Min.

I'm going to do that for Ellie.

I'm already in love
with someone else.

(Phoenix 2020)

Ji Eun thinks her father died
because of her.

Her trauma is a lot more severe
than we can imagine.

What can I do?

Just be there for her.

Why don't we be
a little more impulsive?

I can't believe Director Choi
is your biological mother.

It must've been tough.
I bet it was hard to accept.

I'm worried that you guys are
walking different paths.

I told you I loved you,
but I still knew nothing about you.

I'm sorry. I really am.
