Original subtitles

(Episode 10)

Gosh, I'm so hungover.

I should never go too long without drinking again.

I hadn't drunk in a while. That's why I'm hungover.

Did I sleep here last night?

Darn it. The entire family must be making a huge fuss right now.

I've lost my mind.

What happened next?

I have a feeling something important happened.

Did I call someone I shouldn't?

My goodness.

Where's my phone?

You crazy little...

(Mother-in-law)

What did I say to this woman?

Do you know who I really am?

I'm not Kang Mi Na.

I am...

Cho...

And then? What came next?

What did I say?

Oh my gosh.

- What? - Where are you?

How much did you drink last night?

What did you say to Mom that she won't leave her room?

Did anything else happen?

What else? Things only happen to you.

I know things are a mess because of the list yesterday,

but how could you stay out all night?

List?

(One the Woman)

The police have not given a statement...

regarding the memo left by Lee Bong Sik...

who died while being investigated.

The prosecutor stated that there were no signs...

of police brutality or violations of human rights.

Was it suicide or murder?

- Who's the prosecutor on the case? - Who is it?

Did Hanju Group give you separate instructions?

(Did Hanju Group give you separate instructions?)

- Excuse me. - Step aside.

I can't get kicked out of the family until I uncover the link...

between the chief prosecutor and Hanju.

What did I say when I was drunk?

Yes. Let's go to work first.

It's okay. I'm used to not remembering things.

I can handle it.

- Last night... - Wait.

I don't remember what happened last night, so...

You don't...

remember?

No. I'm not playing dumb like some coward.

I remember up to that part.

But afterward...

What's "that?"

"That?"

That's...

So...

Do you remember being sprawled on the floor?

Yes, I do. I remember.

And that you got into your place thanks to me?

Guess my door code.

That's right. So...

Whose daughter you are, whom you resemble,

who likes you...

None of that matters to me.

I'm going to go for what I want and do what I want to do.

I won't let anyone take from me again.

I was grateful. So I...

- Ki... - Yes, that.

I remember up to that part, but that's all.

It's all spotty after that. Well...

I see.

Goodness. Are you all right?

Why did you drink so much? And why did you call?

Did I call you too?

What did I say?

You'll regret it if you hear it. Should I tell you?

No. Don't.

Darn it.

I guess the shock from Lee Bong Sik's death was too much.

What's wrong with her?

Why did he look like that when I said my memory ended there?

Why do I feel like something very important happened?

Hey!

You said all sorts of garbage last night.

Why are you silent today?

Did I call you too?

What did I say?

You cursed me out.

Is that all?

What do you mean, is that all? You cursed at your chief.

I'm letting it slide since I know how you felt.

Get it together.

Summon Kang Mi Na and investigate.

What about Lee Bong Sik's case?

That again?

I said to bury it.

Will you give up your career to investigate just that one case?

Did you give up on getting promoted?

Is my promotion the only thing you can threaten me with?

Yes, I gave up.

Lee Bong Sik didn't kill himself. I'm going to catch his killer.

Hey!

Don't give up. Why are you so extreme?

Don't give up on your promotion.

Do you want to get transferred...

somewhere deep in the boonies after searching for his killer?

You have such a bright future ahead of you.

Just do as I say, will you?

Listen.

We'll close Lee Bong Sik's matter with Kang Mi Na...

and we'll call it even. Okay?

I'll give you three days.

I'll take you off all of your other cases,

so summon Kang Mi Na...

within three days.

The boonies?

Fine. I'll go.

I'll resolve the disputes between grandpas...

and catch people from savings clubs that take off with the money.

Living like that wouldn't be so...

good.

I'll never see the inside of Central District again.

You are so unpredictable but very predictable.

You always sober up with milk after getting wasted.

Yu Jun. Most women...

who reject a guy three times in a row...

feel bad and treat him nicely...

or keep a distance from him, right?

But not me.

We'll stay like this for the rest of our lives.

We'll be the Green Dragon and White Tiger of Prosecution Services.

Yes.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not here for you.

I'm here because your chief called me here.

Why?

We're going to dig into Kang Mi Na for real now.

Don't act out.

Just follow my lead, okay?

Did you bring what you got when you investigated her?

Yes.

(Chief, Ryu Seung Duk)

("Hyebyul Gallery Holds Volunteer Event for Animal Shelter")

Okay.

Which one is Kang Mi Na?

The one wearing sunglasses.

They're all wearing sunglasses.

The tall woman.

She's a head taller than the rest.

September 17, 2019.

She did volunteer work for an animal shelter...

suspected of embezzling funds.

What's this? Is this everything?

- Yes. - Yes?

Are you messing with me?

You barged into the office of Yumin's chairman with a drug tip.

But you come in here with one sheet of paper?

Your senior prosecutor is trying so hard to teach you how to fish,

but this is all you can do?

I don't like fish very much.

Get out.

Yes, sir.

You punk. I saw you have cod stew at lunch before.

He's going crazy because he's working with Hanju.

I'm sure they're the reason Lee Bong Sik died.

What will you do? Will you really summon Kang Mi Na?

What is there to do? It's a fake list.

How can you prove it?

Do you know why I haven't been found out yet?

Because the real Kang Mi Na hasn't shown up.

No matter how well a fake does,

it'll be obvious she's a fake once the real one shows up.

I have to find the real one. Lee Bong Sik's original list.

Do you think it's out there?

I'm sure it is.

That was why Chief was so afraid of him.

And...

Either find me a boat to get me out of the country...

or put money into a Swiss account.

I need to see evidence...

to decide whether or not I give you what you ask for.

He said he would give it to me.

I'm sure he's connected to someone.

Where do I start digging first?

Remember how you asked...

if Samgeori Gang got Kang Mi Na out of the country too?

- Yes. - I don't think it was them.

Lee Bong Sik acted alone.

I think...

maybe Samgeori Gang was involved with people he was trying to hide.

They gave me the tip about Kang Mi Na and the drugs.

Are you saying Hanju is working with Samgeori Gang?

Lee Bong Sik, that jerk.

That's what you get for acting arrogant.

Serves you right.

Hello, sir.

The thing with the list happened rather too dramatically.

My point exactly. What happened?

Pulling the trigger like this without giving me a heads-up...

will only put me in a difficult position.

What are you talking about?

You see, I had no idea.

People are saying the prosecution...

is deliberately withholding Lee Bong Sik's list...

and that some of the prosecutors were in on it too.

All these misunderstandings are giving me such a headache.

What's with this attitude?

Pardon me?

I simply pointed out that there was something wrong...

with Lee Bong Sik's list. That's all.

What are you talking about?

My apologies.

It seems like I was misinformed.

No wonder your intention is being misunderstood.

Why did you have to withhold the list...

and complicate everything?

I have to go.

How dare he try to blame me?

Goodness, look at him drawing the line.

Whose fault is it that I'm in this mess now?

(Chief, Ryu Seung Duk)

What did I tell you?

I told you that the chief prosecutor...

would act like he had something on us if we weren't careful.

Dad.

Why are you saying this to me?

It is your own fault that we're in this mess.

Back then and now.

You must stay strong.

It's your own fault that all of this happened.

(14 years ago)

(Board Meeting, Merger of Hanju Fashion and Hotel)

Is this a military operation or something?

Why suddenly call a board meeting in the wee hours?

I apologize on behalf of Chairman Han Kang Sik...

for causing the accounting and embezzlement scandal...

right before the merger.

However, we should no longer let my brother's mistakes...

affect the company's reputation and stock price...

for everyone's sake.

Therefore, we should put it all behind us now.

I will now take responsibility for everything...

that is related to Chairman Han Kang Sik.

To save time, we'll decide by a show of hands...

instead of a secret ballot,

so please raise your hand if you agree to the merger.

Chairman Han Kang Sik of Hanju Hotel passed away due to the fire...

that broke out at Hanju Fashion's factory in Seopyung last night.

Hanju Fashion and Hanju Hotel...

held an emergency board meeting this morning...

and decided to merge the two companies.

Han Sung Hye has been appointed the new CEO of Hanju Hotel.

It is said that she was a key member of Hanju Fashion's management team,

so a change in the company's management structure...

will be inevitable.

This reminds me of that day 14 years ago.

That agreement was made in secret, just like what's happening now.

You'll find a way to get out of the reinspection.

You'll collude with the accounting firm...

to get the upper hand on the shares...

and push through the merger.

Do you know what really reminds me of that time?

The fact that the owner has something to hide.

What is Mi Na up to?

She didn't come home last night.

Why are you asking me?

I think I can ask you this question because you ran out the door...

as soon as you saw the news about her.

There are rampant rumors about her name being on the list.

And as you know, the hotel business is all about image.

So ideally, we wouldn't want the focus to be on Yumin.

How about we change the name to Hanju after the merger?

And it'd be best if I could take over the CEO position.

Since this already happened,

we'll downsize and merge with Yumin.

Let's make sure this is a win-win deal.

What if I say no to any of the conditions?

I'm not asking for your consent.

I'm just relaying a message.

So if you decline this offer,

things will get even worse for Chairman Kang Mi Na.

All right. Are we done now?

How about we grab a bite to eat?

I have to meet someone.

The talk with Yumin went well.

Let's take this as an opportunity to fire the employees...

higher up the pay scale and those who are disobedient.

Let's get rid of them all.

- What did they say? - What do you think?

They told me to bring Kang Mi Na at once.

But you know, Kang Mi Na and I are not related at all,

but we look identical.

Doesn't that mean there could be someone else that looks like us?

Can't we find another look-alike?

Stop talking nonsense.

Right, I shouldn't talk to you.

If you want to vent, go talk to Mr. Han.

No, I can't vent to him.

I used to tell you these things,

but I can't do that anymore.

Gosh, I must've looked so stupid.

Darn it.

Don't do it if you don't want to.

Why must you make so much fuss over it?

That car is owned by Hanju Group?

Are you sure?

Okay.

(Chief, Ryu Seung Duk)

("Hyebyul Gallery Holds Volunteer Event for Animal Shelter")

What do Cho Yeon Ju and that punk who doesn't like fish...

have to do with Hanju?

(Volunteers)

That's right.

I hope you like the food.

Everyone who has to cook three meals a day...

loves to dine out.

I love eating out, regardless of what's on the menu.

I wanted to say hello to you in person last time.

I'm sorry for leaving like that.

Don't be sorry.

You probably never wanted to set foot in that house again.

I couldn't even eat the cockles that you sent me...

because they reminded me of my father.

I sent them to you so you'd think of your father.

You should go back to the US.

You know, 14 years ago...

Your father and I were very close.

Yes, I'm aware.

But I was also close to Chairman Han Young Sik.

The two of them didn't know though.

You know, there are people...

who can switch sides back and forth...

without revealing their cards and monitor the situation.

You mean, you're neutral like Switzerland?

No, like a double agent.

Back then, I thought I had no choice...

if I wanted to keep working for the family.

But I've been feeling guilty...

ever since we lost your father like that.

Maybe that happened...

because of some things that I had said or done.

Since then, I have never taken anyone's side.

I'm sure it wasn't entirely your fault,

so please don't beat yourself up.

I'm giving you the advice someone else gave me.

Thank you.

But Chairman Han seems to think...

that I'm still okay being his spy.

He asked me to meet with you.

He is capable of ditching Sung Hye and joining hands with you.

I think he wants to know how you'd feel...

if the merger conditions were in favor of you.

- I'm... - No.

Don't tell me anything.

I'd have to relay whatever I heard.

I'll tell him you didn't say anything.

This is good.

Michelin isn't an absolute standard,

but I guess it could give you some hints.

That's right. If they found out who I am,

Mi Na's mother-in-law wouldn't have just sat back.

Since she's been quiet, I'll assume I didn't get caught.

Wait a second. What if she's waiting...

to catch me off guard?

What if I find a swarm of police officers in the living room?

Then again, she doesn't come across as such a meticulous person.

I drink too much last night and made a mistake.

So did you sleep in the apartment near the Prosecutors' Office?

What?

Why are you so surprised?

People are saying you'll be summoned again soon.

Since you're being summoned so often,

I assumed you found a place in that neighborhood.

Shouldn't you start looking for one?

Hello, Mother. It's me.

How could you do this to me?

When you told me to prepare breakfast at 5 a.m.,

I knew how mean all of you were.

But do you have to make me suffer this much?

You must be losing your mind because of that list.

Serves you right.

Do you find this amusing, woman?

Do you?

Let's see how much longer you can enjoy this, woman.

I'll tell everyone!

I'll reveal your dirt to the whole world.

I know everything!

What? Did you just call me "woman?"

You must be out of your mind.

Do you know who I really am?

I'm not Kang Mi Na.

I'm Cho...

Cho...

Cho...

- Stop. - What are you doing?

I'm the queen of Joseon!

I'm the queen of Joseon!

You've completely lost your mind.

How dare you call me and throw a drunken tantrum?

Darn it. The call got cut off.

Why wouldn't you let me talk?

I have a feeling something more happened.

What are you mumbling?

Hey, you said you had something on me last night.

What is it?

I don't want to remember it.

No. I still have to.

But I don't want to.

Gosh, what do I do?

Hey! I'm talking to you!

What did she find on me now?

I have no idea what it can be.

(Fresh Milk)

Even today,

there are people who decide whom their grandchildren should marry.

Isn't that funny?

As you probably know, I'm still mourning,

so I felt uncomfortable coming here.

My family must have pushed you into doing this.

No. If my grandpa hadn't shown me your picture,

that would have been the case.

But when I saw your picture,

I wanted to meet you.

Are you okay now?

- What? - On the day my father passed away,

I heard that something unfortunate happened to you at the hospital.

Instead of being so useless all your life...

and successfully taking your life one day,

why don't you do our family some good for once?

The old man at Hanju Group...

seems to want to marry off his grandson to you...

to expand his business.

In terms of risk management, it's quite a tempting offer.

I wouldn't mind getting you out of my sight,

and you'd be more than happy to leave my house, wouldn't you?

I don't want to talk about that.

I'm trying to forget what happened that day.

I see.

Like you said, when I look through a telescope,

I realize how vast the universe is, and it makes me think...

my problems are trivial.

I thought you'd like it.

Me?

Did I say that?

How do you use this?

Well...

Try looking into this.

Say no to restructuring!

- Say no to restructuring! - Say no to restructuring!

Hanju Group, cancel the merger!

- Cancel the merger! - Cancel the merger!

Keep the existing staff!

- Keep the existing staff! - Keep the existing staff!

- Say no to restructuring! - Say no to restructuring!

Hanju Group, cancel the merger!

- Cancel the merger! - Cancel the merger!

Keep the existing staff!

- Keep the existing staff! - Keep the existing staff!

- Keep the existing staff! - Keep the existing staff!

Keep the existing staff!

- Keep the existing staff! - Keep the existing staff!

- Keep the existing staff! - Keep the existing staff!

Ma'am.

- What is she doing? - What's going on?

Goodness.

Hello, members of the Hanju Hotel community.

Many of you here...

must remember me from 20 years ago.

Every school vacation, I would return to Korea...

and wash the dishes in the hotel kitchen...

and help out at every event held by the hotel.

I can see that many of you were there...

when I did the dishes in the kitchen.

Why would I not want to keep working with you?

But as you know,

Hanju Hotel is being acquired by Yumin Hotel.

They insisted on performing due diligence again...

and are now demanding a large-scale restructuring.

I really feel terrible about it.

I don't know what to say to you.

Are you saying...

Yumin Hotel is forcing you to go through restructuring?

It's humiliating to admit,

but that's right.

Yumin Group's Chairman Kang Mi Na is giving orders...

without even showing up.

What can I possibly do?

Isn't that just an excuse?

You're related to Chairman Kang.

Apparently,

Chairman Kang thinks differently.

I'm really sorry.

I mean... You didn't have to kneel.

This isn't going to change anything, is it?

- I agree! - Shouldn't we go to Yumin Group?

- What do you say? - This isn't going to work.

- Let's go to Yumin Hotel instead! - Let's go!

- Let's go! - Let's hurry.

Put that banner away right now!

Put that away!

Hey, hurry up and...

- Cancel the restructuring! - Cancel the restructuring!

Give up the merger!

What's going on?

(Where is Chairman Kang Mi Na?)

Why are they looking for Kang Mi Na?

Don't look so guilty.

They're asking her to sit at the negotiation table.

That's a relief.

But why Kang Mi Na?

What do they want?

I'm not sure.

Leave us alone!

They're not even Yumin Hotel employees.

There might be reporters.

You don't want to be photographed.

Let's keep driving.

They wouldn't stop me from going in, would they?

You couldn't go to work yesterday.

It'll be bad if you can't go in today either.

What a dilemma.

Then I'll cover myself up a little...

so that they won't know I'm Kang Mi Na.

Okay.

- What do you think? - You need to cover your face.

What about this? Here.

Good. That works.

- Okay. - Okay.

Cancel the merger!

- Cancel the merger! - Cancel the merger!

Cancel the acquisition...

that kills laborers!

- Cancel the acquisition! - Cancel the acquisition!

Yumin should stay away from Hanju Hotel...

It's Kang Mi Na!

How did he know?

- What should we do? - Stop right there.

I didn't want to do this,

but there are two foolproof methods...

for getting out of a sticky situation.

Money or a loud voice.

- Will you use money? - No, my voice.

Fire!

Mr. No! Run!

Darn it.

Chairman Kang.

Why are you running away like a coward?

Why are you avoiding us?

I'm not hiding on purpose!

I have my reasons.

So do we!

That's not it! No...

I have so much to say.

Gosh.

Darn it.

If you're done washing up,

let's go to Seoul Central DPO.

Looks like you can't make it to work today either.

Why were Hanju's workers throwing eggs at me?

Did Hanju send them?

Darn it. It's not like I can press charges for this.

However...

However what?

They did press charges.

Who did?

What? He's still at the police station?

Send him to the prosecutor right this instant!

Darn it. That insolent twerp.

How dare he throw an egg...

at my wife?

I'll make sure he rots in prison for the rest of his life...

and wishes he were never born!

Why did that jerk suddenly switch sides?

He's utterly useless.

Assault cases are investigated by the police,

so it'll take time for them to reach a prosecutor.

Hello?

You need to hurry in.

- Why? - The guy who threw eggs...

at Chairman Kang Mi Na was arrested for assault.

Her husband is pushing hard,

so Deputy Chief wants it resolved by the end of the day.

You're the only prosecutor who has room on her docket.

Darn it.

The thing is...

it'll be bad for us too if she gets hurt.

The most devoted husband in the world is sitting right here.

It was just a few raw eggs.

You've aligned yourself with the wrong person.

I don't think it's about aligning with her.

- What do you mean? - Think about it.

You practically covered her in eggs before,

and he didn't bat an eye.

Do you like her for real?

What? No way. That's ridiculous.

I don't like her.

Not at all.

Look at him making a fuss.

They may have a baby soon.

You have to consider Mi Na's age.

And I don't think she wants to.

You already have a grandson. You have Sun Woo.

Her age?

Hey. The hospital director ran a bunch of useless tests...

when they took her blood after the accident,

and he said her ovaries were way too healthy.

Really?

I was sure...

I'm sterile.

What?

So you don't have to worry.

He won't have any children as long as he's with me.

What?

Nothing.

Where did you get the guts to attack a chairman?

(Unified Protest)

You figured conglomerate owners would have common sense too...

since they're still human like us even if the world stinks, right?

But conglomerate chairmen supersede common sense...

and can send you...

to the Central District Prosecutors' Office in half a day.

Like this.

You hit her square on.

Your curveball was so...

It's tough to grip an egg.

But you smacked her on the forehead.

- Did you play baseball before? - Yes, in high school.

Listen!

This is criminal assault.

As per Section 260 of the Penal Code,

assaulting a person can get you...

up to two years in prison or up to 5,000 dollars in fines.

How could throwing an egg cost me 5,000 dollars?

Why you... Have you been hit by an egg?

It was degrading and humiliating.

What?

Of course, I've never been hit either.

But a person should be able to empathize that much.

Assault is one of those crimes...

that cannot be punished unless the victim wants it.

If you apologize to Chairman Kang Mi Na here,

I'll relay the message to her and put an end to this.

- I refuse. - Why?

I can't apologize to someone like her.

What did she do?

She didn't even know that you were fired.

It wasn't even your company.

Why were you throwing eggs in front of Yumin's building?

Did someone send you?

Yumin was the one ordering people around.

I hear they ordered the reorganization.

What? Says who?

Our senior managing director, Ms. Han Sung Hye.

Oh my gosh. You actually believe her?

She even got on her knees and apologized...

for being unable to take all of us.

She values and loves all of the employees so much.

Why wouldn't I believe her?

Oh my gosh. What's the big deal about getting on her knees?

I was kneeling in front of the toilet all morning yesterday...

because I was hung over.

Do I value and love my toilet?

What kind of...

Anyway, I'm too bitter to apologize.

She partied all her life and luckily became the owner.

If she tells us to leave, are we supposed to just obey...

and leave?

I wouldn't do this if my daughter were healthy.

She has to get dialysis twice a week...

If I get fired, we'll lose our health insurance.

That's why I saw red.

To be blunt, aren't the police...

and prosecutors supposed to help people like us?

How could you come down so hard on us?

You're so mean.

What is it?

When did I come hard on you?

If anything, I'd sucker punch a bad guy.

Darn it.

Ma'am!

Darn it.

Did you know that there will be...

a reorganization prior to the merger with Hanju Hotel?

Yes, I heard.

If they want to fire employees, they should start...

with the owner and those with the decision-making authority.

Why only fire workers who just do what they're told to do?

Is this how the merger will be done?

It's not that simple.

My father used to run Hanju Hotel.

Pushing the merger deal through and fixing the management issues...

could be more important now...

I didn't want to overstep my boundaries...

and put my two cents in how another company should be run,

but this is just wrong.

Do you only care about getting the hotel back?

You don't care what happens to the people who work there?

Prosecutors may prioritize what they think is "right,"

but running a business is a different story.

Keeping the company afloat at all costs...

might be a better thing for Yumin employees.

You're no different from the Hanju family.

Don't tell me you're in this just to get Hanju Hotel back.

Is that your goal?

Then how are you different from Han Sung Hye,

who fires everyone after kneeling in front of the union members?

It's hard for us to say no or make specific requests.

What if Hanju colludes with the prosecution...

to get Kang Mi Na arrested?

Right.

I'm in no position to make such requests.

Once again, I forgot my place.

Sorry for taking up your time.

You said people threw eggs at Ms. Cho. Is she all right?

Didn't you say you were stepping out to see her?

Must you two talk through me even after meeting up?

She never tells me when she's not okay.

Well, she's in deep trouble now.

Getting hit by a few eggs isn't even important now.

The Central District Office is telling her to bring Kang Mi Na.

If she refuses, they'll transfer her to the countryside.

On top of that, Lee Bong Sik is dead now,

so there's no one to prove that the list is fake.

And she can't even tell you these things anymore.

Isn't it so strange?

I know that it's not her,

but I keep feeling the same way I felt when I used to look at her.

You like someone else now.

Why does it have to be so complicated?

I told you to cut ties so it'd be easier for you,

but this is awfully inconvenient for me.

Just follow your heart.

Follow my heart? Can I really do that?

You're so old-fashioned for someone who lived in the US for years.

Listen. Even automatic doors remain closed...

until someone stands in front of them.

And the compass needle doesn't move until you start moving around.

You need to make a move for you to get anywhere.

What do you want to do?

(Chairman Han Young Sik)

You stormed out as if you'd never see me again.

What brought you here today?

Someone told me you were capable of ditching Sung Hye...

and joining hands with me.

I thought you took after your father,

but I see that you have a cold, discerning side to you.

Yes.

I've realized that whether or not Sung Hye gets...

the upper hand in the merger won't affect you at all.

I didn't think you'd do this to your children as well.

Here's a share transfer agreement.

Ten percent of Yumin Electronics, which I own.

As you know, Yumin is in a bind because of the Lee Bong Sik's list.

I'm sure you can help us out a little.

Also,

I have one small request to make regarding the merger.

You're okay with that, right?

This is great.

Then I have a condition too.

Don't summon Kang Mi Na?

(Ryu Seung Duk)

What is this?

Why this sudden change? What is going on?

Isn't it what you wanted?

What is the reason though?

I'm sure you know the reason.

Pardon?

I saw you getting in Hanju Group's car.

You're never in your office these days.

With all the odd things going on, I knew something was up.

An Yu Jun brought this to me.

Should I tell you why the two of you...

can't get Chairman Kang Mi Na?

It's because...

you...

received a car from Hanju.

I can't believe you already got yourself a backer.

What kind of deal did you strike with Hanju?

Did they contact you directly?

Then you should've told me!

Yeon Ju, I am a prosecutor too after all.

If you accept things like this without even telling me,

I have no choice but to turn into a thug!

Chief.

Yes! I am the chief prosecutor at the Central District Office.

I've made it this far...

because I'm this insightful and perceptive.

I'm worried about you.

You're awfully imperceptive.

How are you going to survive in this cutthroat organization?

Then what about that car?

Stop falsely accusing me.

Have you never accepted an offer for a ride...

during your entire career as a prosecutor?

Why are you suddenly acting like someone with pristine integrity?

This is so unlike you.

Goodness.

Thank goodness he doesn't have good instincts.

That was a close one.

By the way, what's with Hanju all of a sudden?

(Prosecutor Cho Yeon Ju)

Earlier today, Hanju Hotel and Yumin Hotel...

entered into a merger agreement.

The joint corporation will operate under the name of Hanju Hotel.

Managing Director Han Sung Hye...

and Han Sung Woon, the younger son...

of the chairman, Han Young Sik,

who wasn't part of the management team in the past,

have been appointed co-CEOs of this joint corporation.

It is expected that the two of them...

will now start competing over the company...

He sure chose his side wisely.

Mom, you didn't know either?

Hey, what did I say to Sung Woon earlier?

Do you think he was offended?

You didn't say much earlier.

But you're usually so mean to him.

I'm sure he was offended every day.

I can't believe this.

What's going to happen to Sun Woo now?

Hey, stop making so much fuss over nothing.

It's not like he has inherited the entire company.

He's just the co-CEO of the hotel. That's all.

Let's go.

- Mom! - Mother!

Both hotels have stated that...

they will not be going through restructuring...

and have denied the rumors about large-scale layoffs.

There were no specific conditions...

other than making sure that...

all of the employees could be retained.

Those whose tasks overlap will be sent...

to our new business team.

This was strongly requested by Ms. Han Sung Hye.

I'd like to express my respect and gratitude...

to Ms. Han Sung Hye for making sure...

that every employee could be retained.

You changed the terms and conditions of the merger...

without even telling me.

And what's the deal with Sung Woon?

Well, Seung Wook offered to hand over...

ten percent of his Yumin shares.

It means we'll obtain those shares...

while also reducing Seung Wook's power in the company,

so the board won't object to it.

Well, I think what we're gaining in this deal is bigger...

than what we had initially expected, so just sign it.

But why would he...

do all this?

For Mi Na?

That's none of our business.

Everyone's competing to gain more shares,

so we have nothing to lose.

And if he's doing this because of his personal feelings,

we should welcome it with open arms.

Besides, I can appoint whoever I want to run my subsidiary.

Why are you so angry?

Why are you acting like you own Hanju?

What kind of deal did Mr. Han cut with them?

The summons is canceled,

and even those people from the union are gone now.

Why don't you ask him?

But what's this?

"Stock transfer approval request?"

Why are the stocks being transferred to Hanju?

(Transferor: Han Seung Wook)

It seems like Mr. Han is transferring his stocks to Hanju.

The board approved it immediately...

and is requesting your approval.

Where is he now?

He must be announcing the merger.

Is it over?

When my father was establishing Hanju Hotel,

he would take me with him when he went to look for sites.

So I feel a special attachment to the hotel.

My father would often quote...

an American human rights activist.

"Walls turned sideways are bridges."

"Walls turned sideways are bridges."

The wall between Yuman and Hanju...

is now turned sideways to become a bridge.

The ceremony should be over by now, right?

There's usually a celebration afterward.

He might still be at the hotel.

Thank you.

(Hanju Hotel and Resort Makes a Fresh Start)

Let's hear from the CEO of Hanju Hotel...

about their new start.

I'm the CEO of Hanju Hotel,

Han Sung Woon.

To keep up with the new trend,

Hanju Hotel will strive to stay young.

And I'll be leading that change.

Did you hand over your stocks to Hanju?

Why? That's such a shame.

You said you couldn't do anything...

because you didn't know how I was feeling. So why?

Do you remember that?

I won't leave because I'm told, or let people take things from me.

That is why I came to Korea.

Whose daughter you are, whom you resemble,

who likes you...

None of that matters to me.

I'm going to go for what I want and do what I want to do.

I won't let anyone take from me again.

Hey!

How could you break into my place and kiss me?

You kissed me!

That was my first kiss.

Gosh, I can't believe you.

Without me,

you would've spent the night in the hallway.

Sober up, will you?

My first kiss...

Is there water in the fridge?

Goodness.

After working my tail off...

to reveal the chief's corruption...

The Hanju family ruined everything!

I don't know what to do with them!

Do you find this amusing, woman?

Do you?

Let's see how much longer you can enjoy this, woman.

You've completely lost your mind.

I'll tell everyone!

I'll reveal your dirt to the whole world.

I know everything!

Do you know who I really am?

I'm not Kang Mi Na.

I'm Cho...

Cho...

- Stop. - What are you doing?

I'm the queen of Joseon!

How dare you call me and throw a drunken tantrum?

Darn it. The call got cut off.

Why wouldn't you let me talk?

Look.

I've messed up in so many ways,

but do you know the worst part?

Until now, I could tell you anything.

But I can no longer do that.

Why?

Because I like you.

And...

Kang Myung Guk, that jerk,

made your father die.

So why won't you let me talk?

That's why I can't help but drink.

(Fresh Milk)

Why do you get milk delivered...

if you don't drink it?

There was a pile of milk in the hallway the other day.

Gosh.

I drink it.

Every now and then when I need to calm down.

Milk isn't a tranquilizer or anything.

Here. Drink it.

When my father was looking for sites...

to build Hanju Hotel on,

he would often take me with him.

And there's something he told me many times.

It's something a human rights activist once said.

"Walls turned sideways are bridges."

When a wall falls,

you just have to walk over it.

Then you'll find another way.

I still feel the same way,

but I don't know how you feel.

So I can't comfort you...

or get closer to you.

There's nothing I can do.

I'll be going.

Good night.

I may have heard something important just now.

What about that quote?

Someone told me the exact same thing 14 years ago.

Do you want this?

There's something my father often said.

A human rights activist once said it.

"Walls turned sideways are bridges."

Tomorrow morning, my father might turn out to be someone...

completely different from the person I've thought him to be.

To me,

my father has always been a wall I can lean against.

But things will change now.

Still,

I believe he will be a bridge for me in one way or another.

A bridge...

that leads me into a new world.

I thought...

I could never tell anyone this because it was too cringey.

Please forget I said that.

Thanks...

for today.

That person was you, right?

That wasn't Mi Na,

but you?

It was me.

That day,

I lost my grandma, who I had relied on all my life.

Before she passed away, she told me...

she didn't want her death to stop me from doing things.

Back then, I didn't even understand what she meant.

But when you told me that,

I decided...

to move on to another world through my grandma.

That's why I never forgot that.

Maybe your words were what got me this far.

Everything makes sense now.

The Mi Na I liked...

was the person I talked to that night.

But I'm not...

that Kang Mi Na anymore.

Who I am,

whose daughter I am...

Are you sure none of that matters to you?

I'm not that boy anymore either.

When you get to really know someone,

the person often turns out to be different from what you imagined.

Also,

that's when...

true love begins.

(There will be an epilogue shortly.)

(Epilogue)

It's important to review medical certificates thoroughly.

In many cases, they're viewed as assault rather than injury.

By the way, Yu Jun, have I ever mentioned this?

It's important to review medical certificates thoroughly.

In many cases, they're viewed as assault rather than injury.

- Yu Jun. - Yes?

Did you know this?

It's important to review medical certificates thoroughly.

In many cases, they're viewed as assault rather than injury.

- I get it. - Listen up. Did I tell you this?

It's important to review medical certificates thoroughly.

Yu Jun.

Yeon Ju misses you so much...

that her heart is fluttering.

Yeon Ju likes you so much.

Can you come and see Yeon Ju right now?

Can you?

Can you, please?

Ouch.

Is she still talking?

I feel so sorry for the flounder.

How could you...

so heartlessly cut off the fish heads?

That must hurt so much.

You're evil.

You guys are evil!

You're so mean

You're the worst

Cutting off the fish heads so heartlessly

Flounder!

Cho Yeon Ju!

Hey, do you call yourself the chief?

- Do you really deserve to? - Hey!

You the conglomerates' minion.

You sly dog. Just you wait.

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I really am?

Hey! Are you out of your mind? I'm your boss!

Hello? Did she just hang up on me?

This is unbelievable.

Did my subordinate just swear at me?

But who did she say she was?

Chairman Kang Mi Na of Hanju Group?

Why is she Chairman Kang Mi Na?

(One the Woman)

Like I said, when you're in love,

you're not disappointed easily. Let's see where this goes.

Rumors are going around in the financial world...

that you're fake.

I want you to do a paternity test publicly.

You and I are in the same boat now, Father.

Let's share our connections in the prosecution.

Chief!

Darn it. Couldn't you knock?

I thought she was talking nonsense because she was drunk.

Do you remember the drug I gave you?

You think Sung Chan is the only one who'd end up like that?

No matter what you do and who you are,

I'm never going to divorce you.

I know you're not Kang Mi Na.
