- Okay. - In, 1, 2, 3.

- Fun playdough class! - Fun playdough class!

Hi.

Let's see what Ha Neul made.

I...

made a puppy, my favorite.

What did you make Mr. Ji Seok?

Me?

I made a duck.

You sounded just like a duck.

Quack.

It's almost time for Ha Neul's brother to arrive.

Please wash your hands.

The 1st-floor bathroom is being cleaned. Go to the 2nd floor.

Okay. The second floor, right?

Ha Neul. Let's go wash our hands.

Come on.

Mr. Ji Seok. Who is this baby?

You see, she's our So Yi.

Ha Neul. You are six, right?

Our So Yi...

What? She's also six years old.

- Really? Then we're friends. - Yes.

But where is she right now?

I don't know.

I miss So Yi.

I want to see her too.

Really? Then when I find So Yi,

I'll introduce her to you.

Okay.

Let's go wash our hands.

Okay.

Hi. What about Ha Neul?

She went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Her bag seems to be in the chairman's room.

Please go get it.

All right. I'll do that.

How was the trip to the hospital?

It was a regular checkup. There weren't any problems.

He's fine.

But why was the front gate open?

Hello, Mr. Nam.

Why were you in my room, Tae Yang?

Ha Neul's bag was in there.

I see.

Excuse me first. I'm quite tired.

Get home safely.

We will. Please rest, Mr. Nam.

(Grace and love in the everyday heart)

Where did it go?

Young Ran!

Oh, yes. Father. What is it?

Do you know where my watch is?

"Watch?" No, I don't.

It was on this table before I left the house today.

Who came into my...

Mr. Nam, it truly wasn't me.

Ms. Icheon didn't come into this room either.

So you were the only one who had come in and out of my room.

Are you sure you didn't take it?

Mr. Nam. I never lay hands on someone else's property.

Then who on earth took it?

Oh, my goodness. How scary.

As if killing a person wasn't enough, he even pickpocketed?

It's him. I remember now.

You were the one who stole my wallet...

in the department store five years ago.

No wonder you looked familiar.

Father. He took it. I'm sure.

It wasn't me.

Ms. Cha, don't you remember I wasn't the culprit back then?

You could've planned it out with the real culprit.

And you're an ex-convict who killed a man.

How are you going to explain that?

Will you deny that too?

Is everything she says true?

Father, I'm right.

I clearly remember hearing that back at the police station.

I know he took the watch.

It wasn't me. It really wasn't!

Sir, please believe me.

I'm sorry, but it's not easy...

to trust your words in this situation.

Father, why don't we just check his belongings?

I knew this would be the case.

See? I told you so.

And do you still insist on lying?

I do not want to see you here. Get out right now!

Why is it in here?

It really wasn't me.

I have no idea why that watch was in this bag.

Father, we can't just let him go.

We found this clear evidence.

A thief like him should be locked up in prison.

Ms. Icheon, call the police.

Don't yell at my brother!

Tae Yang isn't a thief!

He's a good man!

He's not a thief!

Ha Neul, don't cry.

Father, please don't be angry with Ha Neul's brother.

Ji Seok, this isn't the time to side with him.

Ms. Icheon, what are you doing? Call the police now!

- Yes, ma'am. - It's all right, Ms. Icheon.

I'm willing to let go of this...

because you helped Ji Seok last time.

In return, I never wish to see you again.

(Planning Team Senior Manager Ju Ae Ra)

How did it go?

Did you do as you were told?

Yes, on top of that, he turned out to be an ex-convict.

Ms. Cha knew that, so everything went very smoothly.

How does she know that?

That really happened?

Anyway, thanks.

Goodbye.

Ha Neul, you must've been startled today.

Yes, and I'm not going back to Mr. Ji Seok's place.

I hate that grandpa.

He got angry with you.

No, he just had a misunderstanding.

Once that's lifted, he won't be angry anymore.

A misunderstanding?

Yes, so don't hate him too much, Ha Neul.

Ha Neul, also,

let's keep what happened today as a secret from Mommy.

She might also be heartbroken just as you were.

Okay?

Yes, okay.

It's Mommy.

Hey, Ha Neul. Did you have fun today?

Let's go inside.

Let's go.

Tae Yang.

Are you sure you won't apply to my company?

- I keep thinking about it, and... - You need to stop.

I thought we were done talking.

If you won't apply, I will do it for you.

(Seo Tae Yang)

I'll make sure you'll come to work at YJ Group.

(YJ Group)

Yeon Soo, do you have a list of applicants...

who passed the screening?

Yes, I do.

Among Planning Team applicants, five people passed the screening.

I notified them through text messages,

and we'll begin the interview starting next week.

Good work.

Seo Tae Yang?

Sorry? What is it, Ms. Ju?

No, nothing.

It's nothing.

Tae Yang, I asked Ms. Icheon,

and she never went into my father's room.

Is that so?

Don't worry.

I'm sure my father will come to realize...

that you aren't someone who would do that.

Right. Thank you, Mr. Nam.

Goodbye.

Wait, then how did that maid know...

Ha Neul's backpack was in that room?

(YJ Group Recruitment: You passed the first screening.)

What is this?

Why did you apply for a job at my company?

Job application?

Did Se Rin do this without telling me?

What's the reason you're trying to join my company?

The reason? I have nothing of that sort.

Yet you applied for a job.

Mr. Seo.

I didn't know you were this low.

You're trying to bully me the best you can...

because you couldn't find the evidence.

No, that really isn't the case.

Then what is it? Do you need money?

Are you trying to threaten me and extort money from me?

Ae Ra, extort money?

How can you say that?

Then why are you doing this?

You said you understood...

and won't appear before me again,

then applied for a job behind my back.

Why are you taking things this far to lurk around me?

Se Rin, how can you apply for a job without telling me?

I did this for you.

You stay up all night to study English...

and get certified in all kinds of things,

but you never got a job because of your criminal record.

You did this for me?

Then just leave me alone so I can do whatever I want!

Tae Yang, why are you flat out refusing to apply here?

Is there a reason for you to stay away from YJ Group?

It's nothing like that.

In that case, make sure you come to the interview.

You still act only as you please.

I thought you changed a little,

but you're trying to control me all over again.

Tae Yang, I did this for you.

You need to stop, please!

Let me tell you this one last time. I'm not going to that interview.

I'm looking for a child. Please take a look at this.

I'm looking for a child. Please take a look at this.

Darn it. I almost fell.

Who threw out this garbage on the street?

Hey! What did you just say?

Garbage?

Did you just call my So Yi garbage?

What's wrong with you? Are you crazy, woman?

Let go of me.

How can you call my So Yi garbage?

- Mom! - Let go of me!

Please stop that.

Mom, stop it.

I'm sorry.

- Darn it. Just my luck! - Hey! Where are you going?

- Stop right there! - Mom, please!

How can you call my So Yi garbage?

- Mom, please! - You jerk!

Please calm down, Mom.

- Stop right there! - Please calm down, Mom.

Please.

Mom, it's okay.

Ji Seok, what are you staring at?

The video I made with Ha Neul.

I miss her a lot.

Goodness, what do you like about that thief's family?

Wait.

Father.

Do you think he approached us on purpose because he knew...

we were the YJ family?

Both Ji Seok and I never mentioned that to him,

so he wouldn't know that.

We can't be sure about that!

Wait, hey!

What?

Father, you need to see this.

Goodness.

Ha Neul's brother didn't steal it.

Ms. Icheon brought the watch out of your room.

What?

Ms. Icheon. Where is she right now?

Yes, Ms. Icheon.

What is it?

What?

You got caught? But how?

Don't ever tell them I asked you to do it.

Here's the menu you ordered.

It looks delicious.

This is the most recent new menu, right?

Yes.

It tastes much better with the dip,

so please try it.

This one is crispy yet clean.

And this one's refreshing.

That's right. Please enjoy.

I can do it alone.

Why not rest at home?

But you have so many customers.

Business is doing really well these days, thanks to the new menu.

By the way, Tae Yang. It's about Ha Neul.

Did something happen at Mr. Ji Seok's place?

Why do you ask?

Ever since coming back, she hasn't been smiling...

or talking about him.

So I was wondering if something happened back there.

No. Nothing happened.

Yes? Hello, Mr. Nam.

Ms. Icheon. Apologize to him at once.

I'm terribly sorry.

I'm sorry, Tae Yang.

I misunderstood you.

Don't worry about it. I'm glad it has been cleared up now.

Ms. Icheon.

Even if you needed money,

why did you pin it on Tae Yang?

Answer me at once.

I did steal it.

But I got cold feet and did that unconsciously.

Please forgive me this once, Honorary Chairman.

It was my fault.

Tae Yang. I heard from Se Rin.

Didn't you pass the application review?

So why won't you take the interview?

Se Rin applied for it without my consent.

I know.

But she did it for your sake, didn't she?

I want you to go to the interview.

I know you're studying to get a job every night.

Is it because of your record?

Are you worried your record might get exposed?

No.

Tae Yang. You already paid for all your sins.

Please break away from it.

It's not something I can do at will.

Let's drop this topic.

I transferred the money just now. Check it.

Don't tell a soul I told you to do it at any cost.

Got it?

It's obvious Seo Tae Yang will start visiting Yu Jin's house again.

Stopping his employment won't do.

What now?

Aunt. Did your conversation with Tae Yang not turn out well?

No, it didn't.

He's adamant about not taking the interview.

I think...

I'm the cause of it all.

After giving birth to Tae Yang as a single mom,

I drove him too much...

so he wouldn't get pointed at.

Tae Yang never once asked for my help.

Probably because he knew I wouldn't be able to help even if he asked.

Aunt Jung Hye.

Had I paid his university tuition fee,

he wouldn't work such harsh jobs...

and become an ex-convict.

But it all happened because of me, a foolish mom.

Everything's my fault.

I'm the cause.

I only thought in my shoes.

So I'd like to introduce you to a nice job.

It's in the provinces,

but the company's sound.

It's a great job you can't get with your work experience.

What do you think?

I appreciate it.

But I must turn it down.

If it's in the provinces, I can't live with my family.

I have no plan to do that.

Does that mean you're going to join our company?

Yes.

I wanted to avoid you if possible.

But YJ Group could be my once-in-a-lifetime chance.

I'm sorry.

So what? You're going to hover around me?

As you said, you're a stranger who is unrelated to me.

I won't do anything to put you in a spot, so don't worry.

Excuse me first.

Tae Yang.

Tae Yang!

Se Rin. Tae Yang is going to take the interview.

That's great news. I'm glad.

Okay.

Once Tae Yang begins to work here,

I can shake things up between Ju Ae Ra and Nam Yu Jin.

Ae Ra. Who do you think will be hired for our team...

through the blind recruitment?

What? Why do you ask?

Having come up with the idea myself, it piqued my curiosity.

Aren't you curious, too?

Yes, sort of.

Gil Ja. Where were you this morning?

Did you hand out the flyers again?

Listen. Somebody was willing to help find So Yi,

so I met with them.

And so? Don't tell me you already paid them.

I gave 5,000 dollars as a deposit.

What? "5,000 dollars?"

Are you mad?

How could you just pay them like that?

If we could find So Yi,

I wouldn't even hesitate to pay 10,000 dollars.

Gosh, Gil Ja.

If Young Jun finds out, he'll try to find them at once.

Mal Ja. Keep this from Young Jun, no matter what.

I will take whatever it takes to find So Yi.

Goodness, Gil Ja.

It'd be bad if Seo Tae Yang gets accepted into the company.

What do I do?

(Staff Lounge)

Hee Yeon. The actor who recently received...

the National Police Agency's Good Citizen Award.

Lee Ik Kwon, was it?

Listen. It turns out he has...

three previous convictions.

Here's the thing. None of his acquaintances knew.

Seriously?

To be an ex-convict with such an angelic face.

I'm getting goosebumps.

What's worse is that...

even if someone we know is an ex-convict,

we would have no idea.

That's it. Why didn't I think of that?

Se Rin. I apologize for what I did last time.

You did it for me,

but I turned it down coldly.

Don't worry about it. I was at fault too.

I applied for it without asking you.

But I only did that in hopes you could live a better life.

I know how you feel.

So I'm going to go for it.

It's a precious opportunity you gave me.

I won't give up and try it until the end.

You'll do well, Tae Yang.

If you have any questions while preparing for the interview,

ask me away.

Thanks, Se Rin.

I sure have a reliable supporter.

And I said that you only do as you please...

because I was angry.

I didn't mean it.

I know that.

Goodness.

Hey, are you all right?

I'm sorry about that.

Here.

No, it's okay.

Kids do that.

Thanks for understanding. I'm sorry.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

Se Rin.

You really changed a lot.

Me?

I'm hungry.

Tae Yang, may I order everything I want?

Sure.

Goodness, he's so dazzling...

and very handsome.

Today is your final interview, right?

It must've been tough to pass the other interviews.

You've done well so far, so don't be nervous.

Relax and just be you.

Okay.

Tae Yang, one moment.

Ha Neul, are you ready? One, two, three.

- Tae Yang, you can do it! - Tae Yang, you can do it!

I can do it!

(YJ Group Blind Recruitment Final Interview)

What kind of role do you think YJ Group should play from now on?

YJ Group has gone beyond the domestic market,

and began to extend the business internationally.

It's time to establish more networks with prominent overseas companies,

and become a pioneer in developing new technologies...

to improve the quality of our products.

(YJ Group Blind Recruitment Final Interview)

That's something anybody can say.

What must we do specifically?

Well, I think...

Mr. Seo, why don't you give us...

the answer to that question?

Yes.

YJ Group has recently taken a step into the Southeast Asian market...

through a contract with VN Group.

I believe it's time to expand the business into the western world.

Into the western world?

Why do you think so?

People in the west prefer receiving massages and acupressure.

The products produced here let customers receive...

a massage at home at one's convenience.

If you keep your focus on practicality and accessibility,

I believe you'll have an edge to dive into the western market.

I see.

(Director's Office)

Yu Jin, how did the interview go?

Who do you think will get the job?

This man named Seo Tae Yang did well, so he'll probably make it.

Is that so?

I heard he was an ex-convict.

For murder, I think.

What? Murder?

How do you know that?

Actually, I recently saw him at your house.

Your uncle seemed to have met him at the welfare center,

and he invited him home.

Then your mother saw him and said...

she seemed to have met him at a police station,

and she said he was an ex-convict.

You should've told me before!

This isn't good. I must run over and let them know.

For Planning Team, both Mr. Seo Tae Yang...

and Mr. Park Jung Han have similar scores.

Any thoughts?

I think we should recruit Mr. Park.

He answered every question without hesitating,

and he looked quite sharp too.

I believe he is a perfect candidate for our company.

I thought Mr. Seo had better knowledge of the industry,

and his analysis of the market made a solid impression too.

I also thought he had a better understanding of our business.

I agree with you.

Mr. Seo seemed very prepared.

He would do well even if he went out on the field right away.

Then will you accept Mr. Seo as the new hire?

Yes, let's do that.

(Office of the Chairman)

Father, you cannot let Seo Tae Yang work here.

He's an ex-convict...

who committed murder.

A convicted murderer?

I'm sure there will be a problem if we hire a convicted murderer.

In that case, let us go with Mr. Park.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Lee, I'm in a meeting. What does this concern?

What?

Chairman Nam.

(YJ Group)

No matter how much times have changed,

they wouldn't recruit him despite his criminal record.

Oh my gosh. I can't believe this.

One of the final candidates for the Planning Team was...

the nephew of our senior managing director.

The expose is on the anonymous board of our intranet.

Isn't this illegal in the recruitment process?

Anyway, who found out and uploaded this here?

Dinner was so delicious. Thank you.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Se Rin, I need to use the men's room.

Sure.

What? That's our senior managing director.

Uncle, thank you for dinner.

Yes, make sure you come prepared. I'll see you at work soon.

Let's go.

He must be the director's nephew.

Are you going somewhere?

I brought the files you asked.

Hey, Se Rin. I need to go now, so please leave it on my desk.

Okay, sure.

Wait, this man. He's that director's nephew.

(YJ Group Blind Recruitment Final Interview Applicants)

So the director went in and interviewed...

his nephew, right?

That's absurd.

So what happens now?

What do you think? His nephew won't be allowed in.

Mr. Seo Tae Yang will join us as the other final candidate.

(Woman in a Veil)

In the middle of the day, and in the office? How shameless!

What? It's the wrong document.

I remember checking once again before we left.

It's not enough to shake Ju Ae Ra's heart with Mr. Seo.

You've been weird lately.

You never made a mistake before.

Nam Yu Jin, I'll shake your heart.
