Original subtitles

My father...

caused your father's death.

What do you mean...

by that?

My father's mistake...

caused your father to die.

No way.

You're joking with me, right?

I know you are.

Tell me it's a joke.

I'm sorry.

Following the Imperial Card,

we came up with a card for ordinary clients.

The man named Woo Byeong Do had a unique background.

Did you look into why he's around Seok Bong?

I'm still looking into it,

but it seems that the man intentionally approached him...

because of the rare metal.

Woon Seok, are you interested in rare metal?

My earrings were made with rare metal too.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

Choi Seok Bong's necklace and these were made with rare metal.

Sir.

Take a look at this.

This is...

(Korean Conglomerate Heirs Showing Interest in Rare Metal Business)

- Here. - Thank you.

You're back, ma'am.

You don't look so well. Did anything bad happen?

You must be tired. Should I heat the bath for you?

Well, Mr. Kim.

Will you give us some space?

Pardon?

Still, I'm like a family member here.

Even so, there are things that I shouldn't know. Sure.

Did something happen?

Yes.

About Mr. Choi's father...

I told him.

I see.

You did.

I should've told him myself.

Are you okay?

Father.

Did I do the right thing?

Stop thinking about me, and study hard.

You've got to study hard to become a great man like your father.

You're a little kid, but you have an eye for people.

You said you'd find my dad. You'll do that for me, right?

Promise.

Keep your promise, okay?

Okay.

It's been such a long time.

The weather's so nice.

You should get all better now.

We might become in-laws soon.

My son, Woon Seok,

is to marry Tae Hee.

By the way,

about Cheol Min's keepsake...

You have it, don't you?

(Kyrgyzstan Mine Contract)

I'm sorry for not telling you sooner.

You should have.

You should've told me.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Because of my younger sister,

it wasn't easy to accept you.

And to think...

that you were Cheol Min's son,

I couldn't muster up the courage to confess my mistake.

- But when the time came... - You were going to tell me then?

Who gave you the right?

You made my father die, yet you had the audacity to decide when?

Be honest. Weren't you going to keep it buried until the end?

If your daughter hadn't told me...

I can't predict what I'll say.

So just leave today.

Say more.

Whatever you say, do it until you feel better.

You're selfish until the end.

You want me to feel better so you can feel less guilty.

No, talking to you won't make me feel better.

Take care.

(License Acquisitor: Ha Jun Tae)

What about the original copy?

I searched everywhere but couldn't find the original copy.

I apologize, sir.

Instead,

I found this box. It seems to be someone's keepsake.

What...

Dear winds and clouds

Please send me news about my dad

Hey.

Darn.

Why does it...

have to be now?

Why does the time have to be now?

Says who?

Who says now is the time...

Let go of it.

Says me.

Now is the time.

I think the time has come.

Now,

I will tell you who I really am.

(Choi Seok Bong)

(Dialing)

What?

Is Seok Bong really going out with the chairman's daughter...

or whoever she is?

I'm telling you so.

I don't think Gang Sook has a chance.

Is that why the chairman came to see him?

To split them apart?

I'm not sure.

I wish he just let them be together.

Seok Bong went through so much, both physically and mentally,

trying to find his father.

I want him to live happily with the woman he loves.

Still, he's a father. I understand why he thinks otherwise.

He may have been close friends with Seok Bong's father,

but Seok Bong's an orphan.

And Ohsung took over his father's company when it was about to go bankrupt.

He wouldn't be satisfied to have Seok Bong, his son-in-law.

Still, he can't stop his daughter from loving Seok Bong.

According to Mr. Kim,

Ms. Lee is head over heels for Seok Bong.

She's already slept out.

Really?

- Does that mean the two of them really... - Shush.

Gang Sook might hear us.

What are you talking about?

- Put off the engagement ceremony? - Yes.

I'd like to give Tae Hee some time.

I said that wasn't needed.

I'm okay. Let's just stick to the plan.

Dad, it's nothing. Let's just go ahead with it. I'm doing it.

What are you kids talking about?

Tell me. Is Tae Hee having any problems?

What? No, I'm not.

As if.

Or you wouldn't want to put off the engagement ceremony.

No, just let it slide.

- I keep thinking about Cheap Bong and... - What?

Hey. I told you to stop minding him.

You have your dream man by your side,

so why would you think about him?

It's not like I want to.

- This is all because... - Don't say you take after me.

And Woon Seok, you were never generous enough...

to put off the ceremony for her.

This is enough.

I won't allow this. Not especially if it's because of Cheap Bong.

Don't have any silly ideas, and just go ahead with it.

Unbelievable.

Do you get it now?

All along,

I've been living my life only for the rare metal business.

You see,

I lived my life...

to find my father.

And I thought I'd live my life for one woman.

But...

why...

Why...

To get started with the rare metal business,

I need to sign...

a contract with Japan.

So,

I need you.

Ms. Lee must need me too.

This is like me, proposing to you.

I need you to do this business with me.

That's why I proposed to her first.

But in the end,

I couldn't even give this necklace to her.

Darn you.

You keep cutting me off at a crucial time.

Are you listening to me?

I'm going to Japan next month. Make a decision before then, got it?

Seok Bong?

Seok Bong.

Seok Bong.

Oh, goodness.

I got eaten up by Byeong Do...

in my dream last night.

Now, my body aches all over.

I must've been crazy. Why did I have to invest in him?

I have a nightmare every night.

I resent my ears for listening to him. Ouch!

I wish I could put my ears in a bottle...

and throw them in the sea.

What do you think, my ears?

What? Ms. Lee.

Ms. Lee?

My gosh. Were you here all night?

You drank hard liquor alone without any snacks.

You should've at least had dried anchovies with it.

And you should've let me know that you were drinking hard liquor.

- What time is it? - Now?

Gosh, are you okay? Should I call a doctor or something?

I'm all right. Don't make a fuss.

There's some left.

Wait!

Good morning.

Wait!

Thank you.

Good morning.

(See me on the rooftop for a moment during lunchtime.)

(Lee Shin Mi)

See me on the rooftop for a moment during lunchtime.

No. Give me some time to think.

Ms. Lee.

What?

Oh, I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Mr. Myung, it's time for the meeting.

- Don't we have 30 minutes left? - Let's just do it now.

We've called off everything regarding the engagement.

The chairman will be worried if he finds out about this.

I'll tell him myself.

Just focus on promoting our upcoming Oil-free Card.

Yes, sir.

How is it going with Smart Card?

I'll now finish my briefing about Buho's Oil-free Card.

Buho's card company is releasing the Oil-free Card...

to compete against the Eco Card.

It provides salary workers with discounts on gas.

Just like our strategy, it's customized for salary workers.

Buho already has a lot of existing clients,

so we're likely to lose working clients to them.

How are you going to deal with this risk?

What you're seeing is the upgraded version of the Win-Win Card.

It'll be reintroduced with a new concept...

to give hope to job seekers.

By promoting the Win-Win Card with the Eco Card...

Why are you bringing it up here?

I let you in charge of this project to make up for the Win-Win Card's failure.

No.

It's too soon to say it has failed.

The Eco Card's slogan is...

to save the environment while getting discounts on transportation.

Promoting the Win-Win Card and the Eco Card together...

will bring out a synergy effect.

Can it help us...

- cope with the risk I mentioned? - No.

What I'm trying to say isn't a way to cope with the risk.

I'm telling you how determined I am...

to bring this Eco Card to success, even by taking the risk.

Joong Heon, the three of us agreed to do this business together.

What about the mine development?

Are you telling me to do business with a guy whom my sister cheated with?

How can you say that to me?

Cheol Min!

Cheol Min.

I don't think...

this should belong to me anymore.

Your father...

was such a brave man.

At that time,

no one was interested in the rare metal business,

but he and Jun Tae worked so hard on it.

He believed that developing a rare metal mine...

would bring our country wealth and power...

like other strong countries.

He was very different from me.

He was a businessman,

but he always had a purpose that was bigger than money.

That was...

Cheol Min and Jun Tae,

my two friends' life goals and wishes.

Father.

- This is for salary workers. - It's the Eco Card.

- Hello. Please take a look. - Check what's inside.

- Hello, this is the Eco Card. - Hello.

Hello, Smart Card has released a new card product. Thank you.

(Oil-free Card is now available.)

(Eco Card)

Hello, Smart Card has released the Eco Card.

It's our new card product. Please check the benefits you can get.

Hello, please take this.

Thank you.

Please make one and enjoy all the benefits.

Hello, we're from Smart Card.

(Release of Eco Card)

Mr. Myung.

Mr. Myung.

Sleep at home.

Mr. Choi, you're having a nosebleed.

Mr. Choi, did you work overtime again yesterday?

Yes.

Aren't you overdoing yourself?

Everyone thinks you're working too much.

Ms. Lee, here.

Sit here.

Just eat here.

Mr. Myung.

Why did you want to see me here?

No reasons.

I was always jealous of Ms. Lee meeting up with Mr. Choi...

in secret here.

(Smart Card Result Evaluation)

Combining it with the Win-Win Card seems to have created a synergy effect.

Still,

I didn't think the response would be this positive.

Is that all you can say?

So this was...

Choi Seok Bong's idea?

Yes.

According to Mr. Yoo,

Choi Seok Bong is unexpectedly brilliant...

Tell Mr. Yoo...

that it's not time to appreciate his brilliant ideas.

Have you not realized it yet?

I can easily replace my people if they don't seem useful.

So please do your work properly.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Choi, you're skilled indeed.

Did you want to see me so you could compliment me?

You will regret making contributions to Ohsung one day.

You'll know what I mean one day, but don't work too hard.

Are you talking about what Chairman Lee did to my father?

Is this why you said...

I'd eventually choose your side?

You threatened me over that little thing.

That little thing?

Mr. Choi, you're really something.

Yes, I'm something.

Didn't you expect me to be this unswayed?

Now that you know,

don't try to mess with me as well as Ms. Lee.

Lee Shin Mi...

is no longer someone you can easily mess with.

It's true I was greatly disappointed in you,

but I'd like to have the last sympathy for you.

So please don't let me remember you as a despicable man.

Goodbye.

Sympathy?

- Is that your youngest? - Yes.

Let me see.

Isn't he so handsome?

He's adorable.

Now I want to get married and have a son.

- Mr. Yoo. - Yes?

- Do you have two phones? - What?

Well, yes.

Excuse me.

I told you not to call me during work hours.

No way.

(Director's Room)

Ms. Lee.

I think Mr. Yoo is having an affair.

What are you talking about?

It turns out he has two phones.

He talks on the phone in secret. Isn't that a sign of having an affair?

Stay out of someone else's business. And don't spread rumors.

But this is unbelievable.

His wife is going through so much to raise their three kids.

No man can be trusted, after all,

except for Mr. Myung.

Should I exclude Mr. Choi too?

Speak of the devil.

Mr. Myung.

Why don't we take the stairs to exercise?

Exercising at night makes your cells release excessive hormones.

- It causes insomnia and your biorhythm... - Let's go.

Come on.

Do you need more time to think?

When will you...

Choi Seok Bong.

You wouldn't answer me.

Does it mean we can't play with each other anymore?

I don't get why we must take the stairs.

We couldn't make them take the stairs instead.

Can't you just wait for my call?

Why do you keep grilling me?

Stop calling me while I'm at work. I said I'd go there after work.

Men are hopeless.

That's a hasty generalization.

Be quiet.

It's not my fault that their card is making good results.

You know I'm causing them damage in various ways.

There's nothing I can do about good responses.

What?

No.

After I stole that hard drive, the security got so tight in here.

Don't tell me to do it again.

Whatever, I can't do it this time.

Mr. Yoo...

(Chairman Boo Gwi Ho)

"Buho Card Released a Card Product..."

"With the Information They Sneaked Away from Smart Card?"

Why this little...

What is this, you punk?

Are you trying to ruin Buho?

I apologize.

Apologizing isn't enough.

Thank goodness we postponed your engagement.

Get out! I'm calling off the merger, let alone the engagement.

Chairman Boo.

Come on, and calm down.

How do you expect me to calm down?

Your son's about to ruin my company. How can I calm down in this situation?

He told me with confidence that he didn't steal anything,

but the newspaper is covering that he stole from Ohsung.

What a humiliation!

- Look. It wasn't his doing. - Choo Yeong Dal.

You're in the wrong here too.

You raised your son to be a thief, yet you proudly presented him to me?

- What, a thief? - Don't call him a thief!

Are you okay?

Woon Seok stole information from Ohsung...

for a good reason.

What about you? You stole from someone too.

- Hey. - The earrings.

Shut your mouth.

And this is a different matter.

I happened to make that mistake because of your mom.

It was a mistake for him too.

He did that to win your favor and save Frontier.

Right, Woon Seok?

I let you slide, so do the same with Woon Seok.

Let him slide no matter what.

If not, I'll think and care about Cheap Bong like crazy.

- Gosh, my head. Tae Hee. - Gosh, my head.

- Follow me. - What are you doing?

I want to be with him.

Even by postponing the engagement,

you said you'd take care of it. Is this what you intended?

You said you found out about Lee Joong Heon's weakness.

How could you not even stop this?

And had you been engaged to her...

Why that brat...

Ms. Lee told me to hand this to you.

It's your severance pay.

She doesn't really have to give severance pay to a traitor.

That's what everyone said,

but she wanted to pay you for the work you did.

After the article,

Buho Card has been losing their existing clients,

not to mention its poor performance.

On the other hand, our Eco Card...

is making a dramatic increase in performances.

At this rate, we will soon be ranked first in the industry.

Please keep up the good work. I appreciate your hard work.

Yes, I worked hard.

But Mr. Choi worked a little harder than me this time.

So please give him a hand.

Mr. Choi, I appreciate your hard work.

So, have you given it some thought?

Why do you need such a long time to think?

That will only distract you more.

Is that why you came to my house?

- To do that business with me. - That's right.

He almost abandoned me to find his business partner.

But why does it have to be me?

Right.

Why does it have to be you?

Your necklace can answer that question.

The moment I picked that necklace...

The moment I realized that it was made of molybdenum,

I just thought it had to be you.

Fine, I'm in.

Instead,

if you had the intention to con me even for a slight bit, give up now.

Otherwise...

You just focus on doing your part.

(Smart Card)

- Should I make you some coffee? - Yes, thanks.

(Smart Card Reclaims Their 1st Place in 3 Years)

So Jeong.

- We're having a team dinner today. - Sure.

(A Letter of Resignation)

What is this?

Well,

Mr. Choi left it there earlier in the morning.

Why isn't he coming?

Gosh, it's cold.

It's cold out here, so why don't we go inside?

What are you doing? Stay where you are.

Well...

- Gosh. - It's cold.

Cheap Bong!

What are you going to do?

Because of you and Lee Shin Mi, Woon Seok was told off by my dad.

Our engagement is about to be canceled too.

He brought it upon himself. It wasn't because of anyone else.

Who's anyone else?

Gosh, whatever.

Can't you understand how desperate he was?

Think about what he went through to save the company.

Ms. Boo.

Things are already tough for Woon Seok,

but because I kept thinking about you and thought you were cool,

he even had to postpone our engagement ceremony.

I'm warning you.

Stop crawling in my heart...

so that Woon Seok and I don't have to struggle anymore.

If you make me think about you...

or think you're cooler than him again, I will just...

Ms. Yoon, what are you waiting for? Let's hurry out of here.

This! Don't do anything like this!

Whether I trip or not, don't even bother.

"Cheap Bong is a rude jerk."

Just let me think of you that way.

What are you doing? Are you going to spend the whole night with him?

Of course, not.

She's so annoying. Darn it.

- Goodness. - Are you okay, Ms. Boo?

I'm not okay!

(Chairman Lee Joong Heon)

Time has passed, but this place hasn't changed much.

Let me pour you a drink.

No, sir.

I'm not yet willing...

to have a drink you pour me.

I heard you resigned.

Yes.

Goodness. Stop drinking now. You've had too much.

No, I'm okay. I'm not drunk at all.

You look drunk.

Is it because of Mr. Choi's resignation?

I said I was okay.

So Jeong.

- Why don't we have a glaring fight? - What?

Never mind. Let's play a Rice and Barley game.

A Rice and Barley game?

You're wasted.

- Let's go. Stand up. - I said I was fine.

Don't you know how to play those games?

All right then.

Let's play something else.

- Play? - Yes, let's play.

You don't seem to be in the mood to play.

I'm in the mood to play. I really am.

So let's play.

Fine, let's play then.

- What do you want to do? - No, never mind.

I don't play with just anyone. I'm not doing it with you.

Must you resign?

If you...

can't forgive me,

won't you choose...

to resent me by my side?

If Cheol Min knew he had a son like you,

he'd want me to keep you...

by my side...

despite what I did...

to him.

No.

I don't want to work for Ohsung anymore.

I'd like to decline even more strongly...

if you're trying to keep me by your side...

because you feel sorry and guilty toward my father.

There's no need to be too adamant. Why don't you take time...

No. I don't want to.

You sound so stern.

Cheol Min...

wasn't as stern as you.

I guess...

you take after your mother.

I understand.

You can leave now.

I will stay here a little longer.

Let me pour you a drink.

Pour me some too.

Not as my father's friend,

Chairman Lee of Ohsung,

but as the father of the woman I love.

Thank you...

for bringing such a loving woman into this world.

Lee Shin Mi is alive in this world...

thanks to you,

and I'd like you to be healthy and happy.

Because you're the father of the woman I love,

I don't want you to struggle with a sense of guilt anymore.

If there's anything to be forgiven,

I want you to be forgiven as soon as possible.

That's what I truly want.

I'm expressing my feelings for you right now.

(Low battery)

(Choi Seok Bong)

This passion came to me like a wind

And captured my heart

One day, it vanished into thin air

Even if I fall down

You seem too heartless

The person you dialed isn't available.

(I'm at...)

Now I know

Your love grazed

My side

Like a dream

But it's too late

- Goodness, what's going on? - Gosh.

I've never seen her come home drunk like this before.

- Just what happened? - Ms. Lee. Goodness.

Is it because of Webfoot Octopus?

You can leave now.

Yes, sir.

Father.

Why did you do that?

(Missing calls from Choi Seok Bong)

I'm at the riverside...

under the bridge where we once came together.

I miss you.

The phone is turned off. You'll be directed to voicemail.

He went to Japan with my dad early this morning.

Japan?

- Japan? - Yes.

On a business trip, I heard.

How's your hangover?

What will you do if it's bad?

Let's go.

Over here!

How did it go with the rare metal contract?

Did it work out? Did they agree to do business with you? How did it go?

Just take this, Driver Kim.

Don't call me a driver. I'm your precious investor.

How did it go with the contract? Did it fall through or not?

We signed a temporary contract.

The supplies will be delivered starting next week.

Are you serious?

Byeong Do and Seok Bong.

You guys are incredible!

Good work.

I'll escort you to the office. Please get in, CEO Choi.

Director Woo, you too. CEO Choi, go on inside first.

Director Woo.

Get in.

Sweet!

Come in. Welcome to our proudest office.

Mr. Woo.

Scan a copy of our contract and save it on the hard drive, just in case.

Why can't he do it himself? This is such a hassle.

But that's my job.

- Right, Mr. Choi? - Don't forget to include "sir."

- Even that? - Forget it if you don't want to.

No, not at all. Sure thing, sir.

It's no big deal.

I got you those laptops and rented this office for you.

Just don't forget...

that you agreed to pay me back...

with a 47-inch LED TV and a 105m² lease price.

Let's write it on our palms in case we forget.

Forget it.

Let's just get our nameplates.

Sure, I'll do that right away tomorrow.

"CEO Choi Seok Bong,"

and "Director Woo Byeong Do."

But why are you a director instead of a CEO?

The ones...

who hold the actual power are all directors.

In dramas, handsome and rich guys are never CEOs.

They're all directors.

You're such a good speaker.

Just what can't you do?

Director Woo.

- Did you want to see me? - Yes.

Shin Mi.

Go...

and hand this to Jun Tae.

I have no right to keep this.

I should've given it back to him sooner.

I tried a few times,

but I just couldn't do it whenever I saw his face.

But now you know the whole story,

give it back to him on my behalf.

Jun Tae is the one who made it for the first time.

Mr. Ha isn't so well,

but he seems to be a lot more at ease.

He wants to listen to "Romance de Amor" all day.

It's going away

Love is going away

You speechlessly stared at my trembling hands

It's going away

Love is going away

You left the pain of love behind

I didn't want your love

I just asked you to stay by my side

Like how you just came to me

Don't leave me

The same way

Or I will tell you off

Draw us together.

How pretty.

I didn't accept your resignation.

Do it.

Are you not going to come back?

No.

Listen.

I will never go back to Lee Shin Mi's side.

Maybe to Soon Mi's side.

Let's go, Soon Mi.

- Don't call me that. - Soon Mi.

- I told you not to. - Soon Mi.

You have this picture too.

Your father.

That's right.

He had a lot of hair when he was younger.

Cheol Min.

This man is Mr. Kang Cheol...

Your father.

He was handsome, wasn't he?

Then who is this man?

He's right in front of you.

This is Mr. Ha Jun Tae.

You were so handsome when you were younger.

I feel bad about saying this about my father,

but I think you were more handsome than him.
