Miss Monte-Cristo.E53.210428.720p-NEXT.VIU

Why did you make me come to the employee banquet?

It's the annual banquet.

You should hear the report on the new brand too.

Hey. Isn't that Se Rin?

Hey, Se Rin! I said to watch your mouth!

What's going on?

What... What...

What...

What...

Mr. Oh. How long have you been going out with Ju Se Rin?

We hear you're getting engaged.

Se Rin. What are you doing?

Yes. I'm getting engaged to Mr. Oh Ha Joon of Jewang Group.

Se Rin. How do you feel about becoming Jewang's Cinderella?

Mr. Oh. Will this be your last scandal?

Why that... What are you talking about?

My gosh.

- Take her away. - Yes, sir.

- Get rid of the reporters. - Yes, sir.

- You need to leave. - What? Why?

Mr. Oh.

One more question.

Mr. Oh!

Once Ju Se Rin clicked on DDM Queen's file,

the spy app was installed.

Why did you call reporters here?

Why would I get engaged to you?

You've done weird things before, but this is so low.

Whose idea was this? You didn't act alone, did you?

Tell me the truth. You planned this with my stepmom, right?

Why does that matter?

What matters is what you choose to do now.

Your decision will decide Ga Heun's fate.

- Ms. Hwang's fate? - Yes.

I gave Ga Heun...

a warning,

but she didn't appreciate the gravity of the situation.

"The femme fatale that seduced Jewang's son and son-in-law."

That's a shocking scandal, don't you think?

What? "Femme fatale"?

If you don't admit we're going out,

I'll tell the world about Ga Heun...

and Mr. Cha's affair.

Then she'll be fired as chief manager...

in an instant.

That's not all.

She won't be able to live in Korea.

She'll be kicked back to Hong Kong.

How shocked will Grandmother and Father be to find out...

how she played both their son and son-in-law?

You know I have a big mouth.

The sooner we get engaged the better.

Sir. The chairman wants to see you right away.

Wait for me.

He said for Mr. Oh to come alone.

Gosh.

How could this happen in the company's lobby?

I already discussed their engagement with Ji Na Hwang.

But he called reporters here to announce his plans...

to get engaged to Se Rin?

That punk.

How could he humiliate me like this?

Chairman Oh. Calm down.

Let's hear what Ha Joon has to say.

What is there to hear?

He showed the reporters...

that he's going out with Se Rin.

You saw him.

That wasn't Ha Joon!

That baby evil witch planned it...

Gosh. Why do I bother?

Ha Joon was infamous for his endless scandals.

People don't change.

Everyone in the company is already talking about him...

two-timing two women.

I thought he got his act together after meeting Ms. Hwang.

Honey. News about their relationship is spreading like wildfire.

We have to get him engaged to Se Rin as soon as possible.

And...

they'll complain that Ha Joon isn't qualified to succeed you.

It would be best to postpone deciding on your successor.

We will do no such thing!

Why you...

- Are you out of your mind? - What...

Chairman Oh! Why are you hitting the boy?

Ha Joon. Se Rin is blackmailing you...

with something, isn't she?

Otherwise, why would you call reporters to the lobby...

and do something like that?

Go ahead. Let me hear your excuse!

I heard Ms. Hwang broke up with you.

Why was that?

Is there a problem with her?

Is there?

What do you mean? What problem?

No. There's nothing wrong with her.

I just got bored and dumped her.

She plays way too hard-to-get.

I tried to seduce her for the challenge,

but once that was done, I lost all interest.

- Happy? - What?

You punk.

My gosh.

Se Rin is blackmailing Ha Joon.

She wouldn't have spread this fake scandal...

all by herself.

Really? Do you have an idea?

We can show the reporters that Ha Joon and I are going out.

You just have to make Father and Grandmother...

witness the situation.

Okay. So...

you want me to make them catch you in the act.

I knew it. She and Geum Eun Hwa did this together.

Your little act was pretty good.

Ha Joon said...

he got bored of Ga Heun and dumped her.

He did?

What? He decided to become the bad guy to protect Ga Heun?

The chairman will push forward...

with your engagement.

Everyone's talking about your relationship.

What choice does he have?

You just have to win round two of the competition.

You have to beat Ga Heun to make the engagement ceremony...

that much better.

Of course. Don't worry.

Will they announce the successor...

as soon as we're engaged?

No. That won't happen.

Since the executives are unhappy with Ha Joon thanks to this scandal,

the chairman will postpone naming his successor.

That needs to be finalized so that I can replace Mother.

What happened?

Are you really getting engaged to Se Rin?

I don't know what's going on either.

I just told Father that I dumped Ms. Hwang.

What? You said you were sincere about Ms. Hwang.

You said you weren't fooling around!

You're right! I am sincere.

I wasn't fooling around!

I'm angry and going crazy about this situation too!

Then why did you say that to the chairman?

I asked you to be a good boyfriend to her.

I wanted to be. I really wanted to be!

But I had no choice.

I think I fell into Se Rin's trap.

Are you kidding me?

This is all your fault, punk!

Se Rin said she'd tell everyone about you and Ms. Hwang!

What choice did I have?

Cut it out, both of you.

Mr. Cha. Please excuse us.

Sorry, Ms. Hwang.

You must've been disappointed in me for what you saw.

The thing is... I'll have to break up with you now.

I dumped you.

I cheated on you.

I'm the jerk. So if by chance...

my father or grandmother ask,

that's what we will tell them. Okay?

I have one question.

Do you have any desire at all to get engaged to Se Rin?

How could I? You're the only one for me.

Do I need to want it for it to happen?

That's no big deal.

You are so obvious about it when you lie.

It's no big deal?

I see how you feel.

Darn it. I became a really bad guy to her now.

Darn it!

It really stands out compared to existing products.

It is popular in other countries by various clients already.

It's nice.

It feels great.

Yes. It's a global product receiving a lot of praise abroad.

May I see some other products as well?

Yes. I'll take you.

Ma'am. You need to see this now.

Okay.

(Jewang Group's Oh Ha Joon and designer Ju Se Rin dating)

Ha Joon and Se Rin are dating?

That means...

Ha Joon's position at the company will suffer due to the scandal.

That will hurt his chances of being named successor.

I'm sure Geum Eun Hwa was involved.

Wouldn't this make her...

stop buying stock?

No. Chairman Han will not sit still.

The shares held by executives on her side will fluctuate.

Did you look into what I asked?

There are many large shareholders...

that Ms. Geum contacted who have not chosen a side.

Most of them are critical of Jewang's nepotism...

and hereditary leadership.

Really?

Gather them all together.

Tell them Ji Na Hwang of Hwaipeu Fund wants to meet them.

Hi, Ga Heun. I heard the news.

I listened to the recording of her conversations.

As expected, Se Rin and Geum Eun Hwa...

are behind Ha Joon's scandal.

It's as we expected.

I can't let her fulfill her dream...

of becoming the daughter-in-law of a conglomerate owner.

I'll throw her into a fiery pit on the day of her engagement.

That's a good idea.

I'll stop Geum Eun Hwa from buying up shares.

You focus all your attention on stopping Se Rin.

Se Rin. Ju Tae Shik.

Climb higher.

That way, the fall will be that much more horrifying.

If I borrow 50 million dollars,

I'll invest 10 million dollars and build a hotel.

I'll spend my retirement with my love Soon Jung...

while enjoying living in a hotel for the rest of our lives.

Tae Shik. You've succeeded in life.

Sir! Sir!

We're in trouble.

Look at this.

What is it?

(Jewang Group's Cinderella Ju Se Rin? Engagement imminent!)

Finally, Se Rin pulled it off.

"Jewang Group's Cinderella Ju Se Rin."

"Engagement imminent."

Finally, my dream to become in-laws with a conglomerate owner...

is coming true.

Am I right?

Hey. Why do you look so bitter?

My dreams are crushed.

You know how much I like Se Rin.

And... This punk is two-timing her.

With Hwang Ga Heun at that! Se Rin despises her.

How dare you dream of being with Se Rin?

Why you...

What? My son-in-law is two-timing her?

Wait. He looks familiar.

Sir. If she marries a jerk like this,

she'll be miserable her whole life.

Who cares if he's two-timing her?

Men in that world probably have several women.

Se Rin is the queen.

The rest are concubines and water maids.

Mr. Na. Listen.

You just have to get rid of jerks who cause Se Rin trouble.

Know your place.

Where is my place?

That hurts.

Why can't I like her?

Don't tell me how to feel!

What...

That punk is strong.

Wait.

What if he does something to Se Rin?

Welcome.

Where's Fiery Pants? Why are you all by yourself?

This is our break.

Come back in half an hour if you're here to eat.

I got these for you, my flower.

I spent a pretty penny. They're just in.

There's a saying that nice shoes will take you...

to nice places.

Soon Jung. Wear these shoes...

and walk down flowery paths with me.

Try them on.

Stop it. I'm not a flower.

I'll walk on thorny paths with Eun Kyul...

and pick every path to avoid you...

than walk on flowery paths with you.

Soon Jung.

I'm going to become in-laws with a conglomerate owner soon.

Once Se Rin gets married,

I want to live the rest of my life like a beautiful painting with you.

So I bought an island.

But goodness. That island is a paradise...

on earth.

I'll let you have...

about 10 maids.

So marry me.

What? Marry you?

Let go!

Darn it.

Soon Jung. I love you.

Gosh. Why are you so dense?

I have zero interest in you.

My friend Cho Shim is the one who's interested in you.

Seriously. I can't understand why.

What? Fiery Pants likes me?

Of all the...

She has such high standards. She doesn't know her place.

Wait. That means all those strange behaviors...

you were showing me recently...

were because Fiery Pants made you.

Now, it makes sense.

Let go of my hand.

Let go of me right now.

Soon Jung. Spend the rest of your life...

with me.

- Hey you, Tae Shik! - What?

Let go of my friend's hand.

Why you little...

- Do you know how much these cost? - Ouch.

- Cho Shim. - Darn it.

- That hurts. - That jerk!

Tae Shik. If you touch my friend Cho Shim,

you'll have to face my wrath.

We'll get engaged for sure.

Mother said to win round two...

and make the engagement ceremony that much better.

I should page DDM Queen.

Okay.

Hi, my queen. How are you?

Are the designs ready?

Se Rin. You sound excited.

I saw the news.

Congrats on joining a conglomerate family.

What? You saw that too?

We're getting engaged after the second round.

I told you before about a royal family concept.

And it turns out, I'll be one.

My servant will become...

the daughter-in-law of a conglomerate owner.

Will my designs be your engagement gift then?

What? "My servant"?

She has a way of killing my mood.

Be patient. Even if you marry into a conglomerate family,

you'll still need DDM Queen.

You're right. I'll win round two and add to the celebration.

So please work extra hard.

Will this do?

(Will this do?)

What? I didn't even send her the concept sheet.

It's like...

she can see inside of my head.

Unbelievable.

It's exactly what I imagined.

They're perfect.

They're exactly what you imagined?

Of course. You gave this to me yourself.

You and I really get each other.

Did you just realize that?

You're me, and I'm you.

What? What do you mean?

You're marrying into a conglomerate owner family.

You should at least be called a "gifted designer".

I'll make you a queen.

Trust me.

She'll make me a queen?

Is she saying I'm on par with her?

What is she saying?

Regardless, they are exactly what I imagined.

Sure. She's drawing exactly what I imagine.

So of course, these are my designs.

Se Rin. Put on Cinderella's wings...

and keep flying toward the sun.

I'll burn your wings...

like Icarus's wings.

You'll taste inconceivable despair as you fall.

Na Yun...

I raised Ha Joon wrong.

I'm sorry.

I had no choice.

So explain.

Why did you have no choice? Tell me the truth!

I did it to protect Ms. Hwang.

How can I tell you?

I really think...

that baby evil witch is blackmailing you.

Am I right?

Just tell me the truth!

Did you really fall for that baby evil witch...

and decide to get dragged into the engagement ceremony?

Darn it. Get out of here!

Now! I don't want to see you!

Get out!

I said to get out!

(Jewang's Cinderella is born.)

"Jewang's Cinderella"?

She said we should survive on our own. This is what she meant?

Darn it! Se Rin buried my interview.

Hold on.

Ha Joon despises Se Rin.

What happened?

How does it feel to have fallen into Se Rin's trap?

I don't have the energy to talk to you.

See? You should've ended it with Ga Heun long ago.

I don't mind it that much.

I don't like having Se Rin as my sister-in-law,

but she's better than Ga Heun.

Se Rin learned all of this from you.

You held Hoon hostage and forced Sun Hyuk to do that interview.

Se Rin called reporters and kissed me...

She spread lies about us dating. You two are the same.

What did Se Rin threaten you with?

Did she say she'd go public...

about Ga Heun and my husband if you didn't play along?

How did you know?

I had my doubts, but...

Ga Heun is your only weakness.

Don't you dare say anything to the family.

If Father and Grandmother find out...

Finally, we're on the same page.

So remember this.

If word gets out about my husband and Ga Heun,

we all die.

So please keep your friend...

Se Rin's mouth shut!

Just remember to smile at your engagement ceremony.

Don't look like a lamb being dragged to the slaughter like my husband...

and anger her.

Stop angering your husband!

Bring Hoon back!

It's really over with Ms. Hwang now.

I didn't get to do anything yet.

Can't you give me a chance?

I'll make sure you don't think about the jerk who hurt you.

We didn't even get to watch the movie here...

because you suddenly ran out.

You should at least give me a chance to create nice memories.

We didn't even start.

Do you think it's easy for me to like someone?

It's my first time.

You're my first.

You're my first love.

But I ruined everything.

You must have heard about my engagement.

Ha Ra. We'll be family now, so we should get along.

Se Rin. What did you say to him to threaten him?

Spill it.

I didn't threaten him. I'm not you.

I'm above you now.

I'm a higher-up.

Higher-up?

Give me a break.

Fine, dear sister-in-law. Listen carefully.

If you ever talk about my husband and Ga Heun,

you'll end up like Eun Jo.

Eun Jo?

Ha Ra. How could you say something so frightening?

I told you.

It's only hard the first time. It's easy the second time.

Unless you want to end up like Eun Jo,

you'd better watch your big mouth.

Dear sister-in-law, why aren't you saying anything?

Silence means consent, correct?

I'll assume you understood.

Yes, okay.

She's getting worse lately.

Will she really kill me too?

She even kidnapped her son. There's nothing she won't do.

Watch your mouth. At least in front of Ha Ra.

Oh my gosh. Who is it?

Mr. Na?

Se Rin.

I was fine even if you hated me and used me.

I was happy just having you next to me.

That was all.

But how could you kiss that jerk?

You're getting engaged?

Why are you breaking my heart like this?

Are you drunk again?

That's right, I'm drunk.

I can't handle this sober.

You're marrying the man...

who likes Ga Heun of all people.

How could I not get drunk?

I'm miserable.

Do you know what I did for you?

How would I know? I don't even care.

And how dare you call me when you're drunk?

I kidnapped Oh Ha Ra's son.

What?

I kidnapped Oh Ha Ra's son.

Why? Why did you do that?

Why do you think?

It was to refill the 400,000 dollars of Ms. Geum's money...

that you had stolen.

Are you mad? Still, how could you do that?

I didn't hear any of this.

Bye.

Na Wook Do. You're the one who kidnapped Hoon?

What's going on? Who are you?

Did you kidnap Oh Ha Ra's son?

How did you...

Don't kill me.

I'm sorry.

Where is he?

Tell me. Tell me!

Jeju Island.

Where on Jeju Island?

I don't know.

All I did was put him on the plane.

I didn't lay a finger on him.

I'm not that bad a person.

You're not?

Die. Scums like you need to die.

Please don't kill me.

Please don't kill me!

Ms. Hwang. Don't concern yourself...

about Hoon anymore.

I'll handle it.

Sun Hyuk. I can't free you yet.

You may have started it, but it's up to me to end it.

I still need you for my revenge.

Your son is on Jeju Island.

Honey, what did you just say?

You'll make Ha Joon the president of Jewang Fashion?

The executives will start saying negative things...

about him soon.

I need to make him the president to shield him.

Would the executives permit that?

I promised to promote everyone on the team...

who wins the new brand competition,

so it'll be fine.

If Ms. Hwang and Ha Joon keep winning...

Honey. The competition is not over yet.

We won't know yet.

Ha Joon may be pathetic, but he's still my son.

I am going to leave him the company at all costs.

You need to stop complaining about what I do.

You'll put Ha Joon...

above me?

If he becomes the successor,

he'll try to push me out first.

Mr. Kim. Gather all the large shareholders.

Tell them I'll pay double. In cash.

Madam Black will be here soon to pick it up.

I'm jealous. 50 million dollars.

I still can't believe it either.

I feel like I'm dreaming.

I'll go back and finish up.

Watch this.

Take your time.

Okay.

Eun Jo. The money is here.

Why can't I reach Wook Do?

He's making his boss do all the work.

Hi, Mr. Kim. What's up?

Ms. Geum will arrive soon.

What? Why so suddenly?

What do you mean? Is something wrong?

Of course, not. Okay, got it. Talk to you later.

Darn it. They said they weren't doing the inspection. How annoying.

Darn it.

Geum Eun Hwa offered double?

Yes. With Oh Ha Joon's scandal,

the large shareholders lost faith in Jewang.

They seem to be leaning toward cashing out.

Geum Eun Hwa will buy the large shareholders with money.

Then Madam Black should do the same to Ju Tae Shik.

Dr. Choi. Tell Madam Black...

to give me just one hour.

Ms. Geum is suddenly coming,

so I need to put this back.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Dr. Choi. Please talk to Madam Black for me.

Just one hour. One hour.

(Restricted Area, Authorized Personnel Only)

Why is it so hard to make money?

Hello, Madam Black.

DDM's White Pants. You've been canceled.

What? Just give me one hour.

Just one hour.

Make your excuses at your grave.

Adios.

Adios?

That means it's over.

Ma... What...

What do I do? Hold on. Think.

What do I do? My 50 million dollars.

My 50 million dollars.

I'm dead.

Hold on. 50 million dollars.

What is this?

My money.

Where is it?

- Mr. Kim. Open the others. - Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am, there's no money.

What?

Where is it? Where's my money?

Where did you hide my money?

Where is my money?

It can't be.

My money. My money.

My money! Where's my money!

My money! My money!

My money!

Where's my money?

My money!

(Ms. Monte Cristo)

You louse!

You parasite!

Liquidate all of Mr. Ju's assets.

I'll show them during the presentation.

That's perfect.

It was a flawless, excellent presentation.

The future bride and groom are gathered.

That brat Se Rin is getting engaged to Na Yun's son?

Jewang's Cinderella.

Here is Ju Se Rin!

Once I put the ring on her finger, it's really over with Ms. Hwang.

Ha Joon. Go on.

I'll start the fireworks first.

Mr. Wang.
