Yu Jin.

Can't you think about it again?

Gyeo Ul is still alive.

(Director Nam Yu Jin)

In other words, you decided to give up on Young Jun, right?

Gosh. But it took him great effort to become an attorney.

I wonder who would hire an ex-convict attorney. What a shame.

Yu Jin. I beg you.

Please give it another thought.

My mind won't change even if I do.

I get who you chose, Mother. You may leave now.

All right. I'll do it.

I'll do as you want, Yu Jin.

I'll sign the papers.

That's a wise decision, Mother.

I'll get the documents right away.

Nam Yu Jin.

I guess you're trying to divorce me and marry Ae Ra.

But quit dreaming.

I won't let that happen at any cost.

Why do you keep calling me? It's annoying.

Do you have the settlement money?

It's the 100,000 dollars you asked for.

Go ahead and check it.

What the heck? She clearly told me he wouldn't get the money ready.

What did you say?

Oh, it's nothing.

I did some thinking. This amount sounds too little.

It only seems reasonable...

to receive 300,000 dollars.

Is that enough?

Tell me your bank account number. I'll transfer it to you right now.

No, wait a minute.

Well, on second thought,

my boyfriend might not be able to use his right arm again.

Settling it with money doesn't feel right.

I want Mr. Jung Young Jun, who beat up my boyfriend,

to get a proper punishment.

Excuse me? Hey!

This is the power of attorney and the divorce papers.

Please sign the spaces I've highlighted.

(April 13, 2023, Signed by Yoon Gil Ja)

Yes, Mal Ja?

What? Okay. Got it.

I'll be right there.

Let's pretend this never happened.

What do you mean by that?

Mother. At this rate, I won't be able to help Young Jun.

We don't need your help now.

Young Jun has been released.

Wait. Mother?

Darn it! What in the world happened?

Good gracious. You lost weight overnight.

- It was tough, wasn't it? - No, Mom.

I'm sorry I gave you a difficult time, Mom.

But why did those guys suddenly drop...

the charges against you?

From what you told us,

they were clearly con artists trying to extort money.

Beats me. I'm not sure, either.

As for me, I hate Yu Jin more than those two.

How could he do such a thing?

How did Young Jun get released?

I don't know. I'm looking into it right now.

Give me a second.

Hello?

What happened?

What?

They disappeared after dropping the charges?

Disappeared? How come?

I must persuade her one way or another.

- Honey! - Oh, yes.

Did you meet with her? What did she say?

That woman must be filthy rich.

When I turned down 100,000 dollars, she offered 300,000 dollars.

What? 300,000 dollars?

You like the sound of it, right?

I did, too, for a second back there.

Should we just disappear with 300,000 dollars?

No, we can't.

Those punks at the detective agency are dead scary.

They could even make us vanish from the face of the earth.

Honey.

It was strange how you refused...

however much settlement money you asked for.

Who put you up to something like this?

Tell me!

We only did as we were told.

We don't know who the client was.

Since my divorce was used to make a deal,

it must have been Joo Ae Ra and Nam Yu Jin.

So you even laid a finger on Young Jun.

What? Dad. Where did Gyeo Ul go?

Can she move now?

Miss.

Where did Patient Jung Gyeo Ul go?

The patient's family transferred her to a different hospital just now.

They transferred her to a different hospital?

Ms. Yoon, why did you...

suddenly change Gyeo Ul's hospital without a word?

We felt too shameless.

We were sorry enough to make Yu Jin live alone...

with his whole future ahead after what happened to her.

We also seemed to burden you with her hospital bill.

Ms. Yoon, why do you say that?

Gyeo Ul is Yu Jin's wife.

But still.

This is so frustrating!

Gil Ja, why do you keep beating around the bush?

Honorary Chairman, that's not our opinion.

That's Yu Jin's opinion.

Yu Jin?

- That's enough, Mal Ja. - It's not enough!

He should know about this.

Honorary Chairman, do you know what Yu Jin did...

while you were gone?

Young Ran, tell Yu Jin and Ms. Joo to come in...

right this instant!

Yes, what's...

What's going on?

How dare you cut off Gyeo Ul's hospital bill...

on your own accord while I was gone?

What do you mean, cut off? That's not the case, Grandpa.

Young Jun offered to do that first.

Do you think...

I am some old man in the back who doesn't know a thing?

I already heard that...

you used Young Jun to demand a divorce too!

How long will you play innocent?

Grandpa, it's not like that.

A divorce? What was on your mind when you did something like this?

Do you want to divorce her...

because of Ms. Joo?

I never said anything until now,

but I have already heard about you two at work.

Ms. Joo, you tell me.

What's going on between you two?

I am in love with Director Nam.

Ms. Joo.

Yu Jin is your friend's husband!

Are you in your right mind?

Honorary Chairman, I'm sorry.

But I mean it.

Ever since Ms. Jung fell,

I wanted to become his help by his side...

for the last five tough years of his life.

And then...

I fell in love with him without realizing it.

Love?

You just seduced a married man.

How do you call that love?

That is an affair!

On top of that, you thought it was a chance...

and tried to seize him while Gyeo Ul was sick in bed.

Do you not think that's too crude?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

No matter what happens, I will not condone...

this relationship.

You two must break this off immediately.

You two cannot be together...

even over my dead body!

Yes, I understand.

Then I'll make a visit now. Okay.

Hey, Tae Yang. Where are you going?

I got a part-time job.

They told me to come now, so I'm on my way.

Already? What's the job?

Liquor delivery.

It's a tough, physical job. It won't be easy.

You should take some time off to find something else.

It's better to do something than to stop altogether.

I'll get going, Uncle Young Soo.

Okay.

Sir, where should I put this?

All the way inside.

Okay.

He seems awfully familiar.

Sir, please sign here.

What are you staring at?

Is there something on my face?

No, sir.

Please excuse me.

I'll take one to grill.

Sure, one second.

Hey, do you have some more dollar bills?

I told you to make a bank run before.

One second.

Oh my, that woman.

Why? Do you know her?

Goodness.

What? Really?

Yes, I heard it from the director of my kid's academy.

Is it ready?

Take it back.

I don't want to sell this to you.

What?

That man seemed very familiar.

Wait, he's the former owner of the bar Jang Mi worked at.

Why won't you sell it to me?

Your son is a murderer, right?

Who are you going to give that grilled fish to?

To your son, who's a murderer?

I can't let that happen, so leave. You have no business here.

Why won't you sell it to me?

I didn't ask to give it for free.

Why are you bringing my son into buying some fish?

What do you know anyway?

Give it to me.

- I'm not selling this to you. - Give it to me.

- Give it! - Are you crazy, woman?

Mom.

I'm not selling any fish to you, so don't ever come here again!

Goodness!

Don't bring me bad luck.

Goodness, Mom.

I can shop for groceries alone. Why did you come?

You must be hungry. Let's go.

I'll make you dinner.

Come on, Ae Ra. Please pick up.

The person you have reached...

Yu Jin! Are you really having an affair with Ms. Joo?

What? Don't call it an affair. We're in love!

No way, I can't believe it.

It's just as they say. It's only an affair when you don't do it.

Your self-justification is way off the wall.

Since when did it begin?

Wait, ever since Gyeo Ul was with you?

Hey, stop talking nonsense and get out of here.

Get out.

Darn it.

Ae Ra, please pick up.

(Director Yu Jin)

You just seduced a married man.

How do you call that love?

That is an affair!

On top of that, you thought it was a chance...

and tried to seize him while Gyeo Ul was sick in bed.

Do you not think that's too crude?

Are you here alone?

You're pretty and haughty.

I like girls who are cold.

Get lost.

Are you leaving? Let's just have one drink.

Let go of me.

Let go. How dare you try to get cute with me?

Get cute with you?

If you came here to drink alone,

you were looking to meet a guy.

Don't act all haughty, and let's hang out.

I told you to let go of me.

What kind of a dirty jerk are you?

Hey, did you just hit me?

Have you gone insane?

If you don't stop, I'll report you for sexual harassment.

Who the heck are you?

Sexual harassment? Do you have evidence?

What you did was caught on CCTV.

Darn it. What a day.

Are you all right?

Women can hardly have a drink alone because of jerks like him.

It's late. You should go home.

Thank you.

That's it, Joo Ae Ra. Keep your guard down like that.

Like what you did, I will steal one thing after the other...

right next to you.

(YJ Group)

What happened yesterday?

What? Did you drink?

Grandpa found out my in-laws moved Gyeo Ul somewhere else...

when he dropped by the hospital yesterday.

Why did they have to transfer her and make this mess?

Grandpa might be furious right now,

but I'm his one and only grandson. He'll eventually give in.

So stop being angry, okay? Please?

You're all good, right?

Hold on.

Yes, what is it?

The meeting time changed?

Got it. I'm on my way.

Yu Jin. Today's meeting.

Isn't it regarding the Vietnamese buyer?

Yes. The second-generation immigrant I mentioned.

We're technically both Korean, so why is he so picky?

Why do you ask?

Let me attend that meeting.

I might be useful as the planning team's senior manager.

If we successfully join hands with VN Group this time,

we will surely secure our position in Southeast Asia.

We all know that. But Chairman Pham is not an easy man.

Didn't he act as if he was going to sign the contract,

then cancel it last minute?

This is a waste of our time.

Wouldn't it be better to focus on China?

The current trend is the Southeast Asian market.

We must work with Chairman Pham.

Of course, I know that.

But everyone has been rejected by Chairman Pham.

Chairman Nam. I'll give it a try.

You, Ms. Joo?

Sure, fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

But this isn't something you can do, Ms. Joo.

Didn't you say so, Director?

That we needed VN Group to get into the Southeast Asian market.

I will secure the contract.

If I fail, I will resign from my position as the planning team's...

senior manager.

(Director's Office)

(Director Nam Yu Jin)

What were you thinking?

As you heard, Chairman Pham is a tough nut to crack.

I know. But listen.

Only when I get that contract will the honorary chairman accept me.

I understand how you feel. But Chairman Pham...

will find some kind of fault to annul the contract.

What if you get fired from the position you worked hard for?

I won't get fired.

I will get the contract without fail.

Se Rin. A close reporter has told me...

YJ group is currently reaching out to VN Group's Chairman Pham.

The planning team's new senior manager is carrying out...

the contract, not the executives.

"Planning team's new senior manager?"

So when and where is the meeting?

Okay. Got it. Thanks.

Joo Ae Ra. You must dream of joining the YJ family...

by getting that contract down.

Then why don't I set everything up for you?

Yes. I just arrived, Yu Jin.

Don't worry. I'll make it happen, no matter what.

You sent the sample to the hotel, right?

Okay, thanks.

My gosh, I'm sorry.

What now? Let me pay for the dry cleaning fee.

That's not the problem right now.

My crucial meeting is about to get ruined because of you.

Oh, wait. Excuse me? Didn't we meet at the bar yesterday?

What?

Oh, yes. We did.

This is bad. My meeting is about to start.

How about I help you?

Thank you so much.

Are you really okay with lending me your jacket?

Yes. I was done with my business and on my way home.

I really appreciate it.

Oh Se Rin, was it?

I'll return this jacket to you right after the meeting.

- I'll call you once I'm done. - Okay.

Joo Ae Ra. You must end the meeting on a good note, got it?

The bed is installed with this device that...

comes up vertically along the spine curve,

which puts pressure and massages the body.

It is useful not only at homes but also at hospitals...

when treating patients.

It is indeed a great product.

Thank you.

- Then, with YJ Group... - I'm sorry.

It sure is a great product.

As I only came to inspect this time,

I have no plans to invest.

Chairman Pham. Please consider it once.

If your company and our company join forces,

in the Southeast Asian market...

That's enough.

Gosh. Our meeting time is almost over.

- I understand. - Good.

- Thank you for your time. - No problem.

Chairman Pham.

If you don't mind, could you confirm one thing for me?

What is it?

By any chance, do you recognize this photo?

Isn't this my family photo?

Where is it right now?

It's in a photo studio in Chungja-dong, Gyeongju.

I promised to pick up the original photo today.

- Is that really true? - Yes.

I read in the interview article that you had lived there...

before you immigrated to Vietnam.

And that because of the fire accident in Vietnam,

you had lost all photos of your parents.

But how did you know they were my parents?

I admired you all along, Chairman Pham,

the legendary immigrant to Vietnam.

So I read all articles about you.

That was when I remembered your childhood photo.

And if I could,

I always wanted to find that photo for you.

I missed my parents more dearly every time I came to Korea.

I can finally see their faces.

Thank you.

Was it Ms. Joo?

Yes. I'm the planning team's senior manager, Joo Ae Ra.

There you go.

I'm not selling any fish to you, so don't ever come here again!

Where did the owner go?

I need to get his signature.

You know how critical the first promotion is...

after opening the store, right?

Be good to the customers.

Good grief. You're a capable man.

Where do you get all the money for the stores?

Don't tell me you scammed someone again.

Hey, you! I'm not a crook. Who would I have scammed?

Oh, come on. You lied to that woman named Oh Se Yeon five years ago.

"Oh Se Yeon?"

The sister of Seo Tae Yang,

who was framed for killing the manager.

She asked you to find the witness Jang Mi.

What did you just say?

Answer me!

What were you talking about?

(YJ Group)

- Welcome, Director Nam. - Hey.

We need to drop by the sales team.

The executives have gone wild right now.

How did you capture Chairman Pham's heart?

I told you, right? I made it happen.

Goodness, that's what you do, Ae Ra.

My grandpa will have to accept you once he finds out about this.

I'll buy you a nice dinner for your great work today.

Not today. I have an appointment.

An appointment? Who are you meeting?

Someone.

I can't believe this.

I wasn't the one who killed that manager?

How can this happen?

My life has been filled with pain until this day!

You do know this is small potatoes for my older brother's life, right?

Had you not killed my older brother,

my family wouldn't be living like this.

Bring my son back to life.

Bring my son back to life, you jerk!

Goodness.

Ms. Oh Se Yeon had been looking for the witness, Jang Mi,

to lift your false charges.

I had no idea I was framed.

So how did Se Yeon know?

If what he said is true,

then did Jang Mi disappear even though she knew the truth?

Thank you so much.

The meeting went very well thanks to you.

You don't have to thank me. It wasn't a difficult favor.

Anyway, it looked like a very important meeting.

May I ask what it was?

It was a foreign export deal.

And I sealed the deal thanks to you, Se Rin.

Don't say that.

All I did was let you borrow my clothes.

Anyway, it's amazing how you sealed such a big deal.

Do you have a secret to capturing the buyer's heart?

Of course.

A secret weapon.

Anyway, thank you.

And for what happened at the bar last time.

I have much to thank you for.

Stop saying thank you.

You're already treating me enough with this delicious meal.

Should we order?

Really?

Did you also graduate from Wonshington University?

I knew it. That's why we hit it off!

Right?

Ae Ra, then do you remember the burger joint by the school?

There was always a long line. What was it called again?

Right, that place.

I remember that place. The one with delicious burgers.

No, never mind.

That burger joint wasn't around when you went there.

We must be talking about two different places.

I guess so.

There wasn't just one burger joint.

Anyway, Ae Ra, try this. This is really good.

You can have it.

I'm allergic to bananas.

- You're allergic to bananas? - Yes.

I used to eat it as a child,

but I went into a shock after eating that a few years ago,

and I found out I was allergic.

I can't eat it now even if I wanted to.

Really?

Then I should've ordered something else.

It's okay. You can enjoy it on my behalf.

One second.

I need to take this call.

Hello?

Where is it?

I remember putting it in this bag.

Where did that photo go?

Joo Ae Ra, how does it feel...

to be toyed around on my stage?

(Woman in a Veil)

This says a lot about you.

I'm calling off this contract.

Chairman.

From a team leader to an ordinary staff member?

They're practically asking her to leave.

Where Jang Mi used to live. If I went there,

I might be able to find her.

Ae Ra, from now on, nothing will go your way.

What should I do for you?
