(Episode 48)
Geez.
Why are you fidgeting instead of sleeping?
I must've had too much coffee.
Don't mind me and sleep.
Eunjo's not home yet,
so how can I sleep?
You're impossible.
She called to say
she's working on her Center project that was chosen.
But this is way too late.
This won't do. I should go see.
I will. I'll go.
You said you weren't feeling well.
You will?
Yes.
Why did she have to storm off?
It's nagging at me.
Should I go look for her?
You should've called to say how late you'd be.
You made us worry.
You were worried?
It's only natural to worry
even if your pet dog doesn't return home.
But you're home now.
Go on in.
Dog?
What? Did something good happen to her?
She's 40.
You know Genius, right? She's a director there.
You know a lot of singles.
Huh?
Y-Yes. A spinster.
She must've been too focused on her career.
She has a very chic appearance.
She works, so she's very smart.
Yes, yes. Please let me know.
Yes, okay.
Who else is there?
Now you're going to marry off Director Gu?
If she starts dating,
she'll only be half as attentive to Chungseo.
Are you done sharing hobbies?
No, we still do that,
but it'll be great all around if she marries.
I don't know.
Most men probably couldn't handle her.
Won't it be better just to share a hobby?
No!
I must marry her off.
I need to get rid of her for good.
What if her husband moves in with her?
You might end up worse off.
Seeing that you're joking around,
things must have worked out.
Did you find $10,000?
Huh? Yes.
Really?
You didn't even have $1,000,
so where'd you find that kind of money?
I borrowed it from someone.
I must pay it back, but it beats
dealing with a loan shark.
Really?
Oh! Call the rice cake lady.
She set up 2 couples that are now married.
She said one more couple will get her
into heaven, so call her.
How did she suddenly get that kind of money?
Wait, wait, wait.
This is Haengja's phone.
- I'll take it. / - Okay.
Geez. She left it again.
Yes, hello...
Ms. Kim, are you going to be like this?
Um...
Why don't you just sell
the store space like I asked?
I said I'd give you a good price.
Sell a store space?
Hello?
Yes. This is Ms. Kim Haengja's phone.
I'm her husband.
I'd like to talk to you about the store space.
I'm free now.
Where should I meet you?
Are you busy?
Even if you are, we need to talk.
I should have come yesterday,
but something came up.
The signing went well thanks to you.
I'll make sure the cover isn't blown,
but be careful for now.
I returned the registered seal and also
got a few copies of the seal certificate
and power of attorney just in case.
No. No way.
This is the only time I'm helping you, Dr. Jeong.
Why are you suddenly distancing yourself?
We're really in it together now.
And why are you calling me "Dr. Jeong"?
It doesn't sit well with me.
I don't have a fond memory of father figures,
so I have a hard time saying "father."
It's best to quickly forget bad memories.
Testy little brat.
If it weren't for Inu,
I'd do him in just like that.
You got what you wanted.
So hands off Ms. Kim's fortune from now on.
Isn't that what I should be saying to you?
My goodness.
The tail is wagging the dog now.
Anyway, I have a big picture.
Big picture?
Take it.
This is Haengja's phone.
Oh. Where was I?
Big picture?
Tail wagging the dog?
Don't forget what that means, Busik.
Then also remember my advice. Don't be reckless,
Father.
Why aren't you going out today?
One must know when not to push it.
Do you think I'm crazy?
Why did I have to get caught?
Then once you finish cleaning your ear,
clean the office as well.
I'm going to the bank
on Ms. Kim's errand.
Darn it.
She bosses me around at every chance.
Anyway, what in the world is Haengja thinking?
Dr. Jeong is definitely up to no good.
He's being very shady.
Long time no see, Aunt Eunjeong.
Oh. Busik.
I hope I can call you by your name.
Whatever works for you.
Excuse me.
He said they'd set the wedding date soon.
Geez. Nothing's panning out smoothly. Nothing.
- Welcome. Welcome. / - Thank you.
I was going to call to see when you were coming,
but I left my phone at the cafe.
Oh. I'll go get it for you.
There's no need.
I can go myself.
Not having a phone has its perks too.
Perks?
It's nice not getting pesky calls.
Someone's bothering you over the phone?
Yes.
I have a first-floor store space by the police station,
and someone's been pestering me to sell it.
A store space?
It's a killer location.
No matter what business, it does well there.
Even if I sell everything else,
I'm going to keep that one.
The realtor must keep calling you
to sell it.
Yes.
It's such a relief not getting
those pesky calls.
I see.
Ms. Gil Eunjo.
Yes?
Take part in the third round of
beauty manager training next month at HQ.
Really?
I'll work very hard.
May I be excused?
I was working on something.
Sure.
Ms. Jeong Inu.
Yes?
You know your internship ends in a month, right?
So?
We've decided not to extend your contract.
You decide whether
to leave now or
stay for the remaining month.
You will get paid for next month regardless.
Anything you want to say?
No.
I must leave if I'm told to.
What can I say?
But no one knows what the future holds.
I'm curious too what will happen
once I leave.
Why is she so cocky?
Hello.
- Hello, Ms. Gong. / - We're seeing a lot of you.
Yes.
Hello, Ms. Dong.
What's with her?
What did she just say to me?
Just hello.
Who does she think she is?
What is it?
Ms. Gu.
Do you know Jeong Inu?
She just can't get over my Busik
although she's not a good match for him.
I'm just saying.
We need to talk.
Jeong Inu likes Counsel Byeon?
How interesting.
Why didn't you call first?
I have a meeting at HQ.
I won't take up too much of your time.
I wonder what you're here to say today.
You'll be waiting for me if I don't come.
I doubt that.
We should go on a blind date.
We? Why we?
It's just a manner of speaking.
You should go on a blind date.
She's now resorted to matchmaking?
You won't be able to say no.
I'm...
Is your sexual orientation unusual?
Do you like women?
Tell me if you do.
I respect that.
Pardon?
Otherwise, go on this blind date.
There's a great catch I'd hate for you to lose.
I'll set it up, okay?
You must tell me the truth.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You know about Ms. Kim's store space, right?
You have her mobile phone.
I'm sure you got calls about selling it.
Are you psychic?
How did you know?
Leave it alone.
I said you had no right to tell me that.
You agreed it'd only be the Paju building.
That was just...
You won't be able to handle the consequences.
You've been warned.
Why wouldn't I sell it
at 3 times the market value?
And I have the seal certificate and proxy letter.
I made it clear you shouldn't be reckless.
Insolent brat.
Why just salivate at a good deal?
One should take it.
He has no guts for a man. No guts.
Kiddo.
How can Busik and Dad...
Welcome.
Are you here to see your dad?
Dr. Jeong stepped out for a bit.
Have a seat. I'll bring you tea.
Yes, yes. Sit. Sit down.
Thank you.
We've never sat down together alone like this,
have we?
No.
Your dad sings your praises.
The only thing I'd ask of you
is that you got along with Eunjo.
How can Busik and Dad do that?
I'll leave you two be.
Since we're here and talking,
let me ask you for a favor.
Go ahead.
Please look kindly on Eunjo.
She can get a teensy weensy bit testy,
but she's really great apart from that.
Don't be nice to me.
I don't know anything.
I know that things
with you and your sister... Was it Injeong?
Yes.
It's gotten weird because of Myeongjo,
but I'm sure it'll get better with time.
I just want
all of us to get along.
Although it won't be easy...
No matter what happens,
I must side with my father.
Don't smile like that.
Yes?
No. Carry on.
Aren't you going to do this?
You haven't heard?
I was fired.
Pardon?
They won't extend my contract, so I'm fired.
Are you okay?
How can I be after losing my job?
Don't try to comfort me.
No matter what happens,
don't resent me, Gil Eunjo.
I heard the CEO of Genius was young,
but I didn't know you were this handsome as well.
Thank you for your kind words.
I'll make sure you get our investment.
Why did you change your mind?
My subordinates made a mistake.
They got scared because
it's a very big investment.
I see.
I reconsidered and decided to go for it,
so let's make this work.
Thank you.
Do you have a girlfriend?
My daughter is a college senior.
What a shame. So you do have a girlfriend.
But then again, why wouldn't you?
Okay.
Let's do this.
The existing cosmetics market is saturated,
and Genius' herbal line has long been stagnant.
Skin conditions are on the rise in consumers
in their 30s to 40s, and dermacosmetics...
And dermacosmetics, sold at pharmacies
and hospitals, have a bright future.
If backed by sufficient R&D...
If backed by sufficient R&D, they will propose
a new vision for the stagnant cosmetics business.
The existing cosmetics market is saturated,
and Genius' herbal...
Miss Injeong, we keep running into each other.
Yes, we do.
And we'll keep doing so unless one of us moves.
I'm moving.
What?
Then we won't get to see each other at all.
Let's talk.
Fate? Destiny?
I don't believe in any of that.
I set everything up.
I got your class schedule
to learn where I should wait for you.
Do you still not get what I'm saying?
Likewise.
What?
I waited in front of your workplace
until you were about to leave
and I waited in the neighborhood crossroad
when I figured you'd pass by.
So why do we have to stay this way?
I told you.
I have no desire to outdo Ms. Kim.
What if we set Ms. Kim aside?
Does that change things?
Answer me.
This is very important.
Nothing will change even if we set her aside.
Why not?
You're not Ms. Kim's biological son.
If you're not related to her by blood,
don't we stand a chance?
Let's just do what our hearts say.
We're wasting precious time
worrying about our parents.
Miss Injeong...
I looked into it, and Ms. Kim
and Dad's marriage license doesn't pose a problem.
They got their marriage license?
You didn't know?
It's fine. It doesn't matter.
But you see...
Why? Is there something else?
Myeongjo and I will go on Ms. Kim's family register.
She'll be adopting us.
What?
That means you and I will be family by law.
How can this be?
How in the world can this be? How?
I paid back the $10,000.
Good.
I hope I did the right thing.
What's the problem?
I know where the money came from,
so I feel bad pretending I don't.
Where did the money come from?
It came from Dad.
Why feel bad about using Dad's money?
That's not right.
Will you be like this every time Dad gives us money?
You shouldn't have taken it then.
If you took it, just use it.
Inu.
That's what I've decided to do.
So you decide too.
Come eat.
That wretched girl...
Hey, I'll talk to her.
Go on. I'll listen to whatever you have to say.
Mom.
I'm sure you have a lot of pent-up anger.
Our divorce must've hurt you like it did Inu.
And despite your brave face,
I'm sure you're reeling due to Myeongjo.
So tell me everything.
Dad's not in my photo albums.
What?
Dad's not in any of the pictures.
He's not in the entrance or graduation ceremony photos
or in any family trip photos.
He's not?
He's also absent in my heart as well.
That's why it's been nice.
I must miss him to hate him
and believe in him to be let down.
But Dad's meant nothing to me.
Yes, I see.
I think my longing for Myeongjo was driven by
my resentment toward Dad.
But I'm going to lose that resentment too.
He's a father because he gave birth to me?
Raising the child makes one a father.
Family must live together.
Injeong.
I must have wanted Dad to return to us
even if he was penniless.
Although I was cold to him,
I must have secretly missed him.
But I'm letting that go too.
What's the matter?
Same with Myeongjo.
I still don't know why we can't be together,
but I'll let him go too.
I'm letting go of everything.
I have nothing left now.
Injeong.
I thought one became a parent
just by being with the man one loves
and having and raising children...
Mom, what do I do?
What about my girls?
Mom, what about me?
Are preparations going well?
I heard Gongsin Bank will invest.
Yes.
I'm still against it,
but I want to believe in you as you've made
so much progress despite all odds.
Thanks.
But don't let your guard down.
I'll pounce on you if I see any shortcomings
at the board meeting tomorrow.
I know.
All's well that ends well.
Seokpyo.
Let's talk again after my proposal passes tomorrow.
Let's do that.
Good luck tomorrow.
Thanks.
Why are you here this late?
What is it?
Tomorrow's a very important day for me.
It's nothing bad, right?
It's a good thing.
More precisely, I must make it a good thing.
A job interview or something like that?
Similar.
So you're nervous.
No.
I'm extremely nervous.
Don't let your nerves get the better of you.
I'll pray for your success.
I have something to tell you
if this goes well.
It's something about me.
I'll be waiting.
It's cold, so go on in.
You can do it.
I can do it.
Geez. What's keeping Mr. Lee?
President Hong! President Hong!
What is it?
I think... I think...
Catch your breath first.
I think we walked into a trap.
A trap? What are you talking about?
In the conference room.
There's an emergency shareholders' meeting.
Without the CEO knowing?
Is that possible?
What about?
A motion to dismiss the CEO.
Ow, ow, my head.
Oh. Oh my goodness.
I must take my hypertension medicine.
Good grief. I keep forgetting.
Not again.
Who could this be?
Hello?
Oh, my. Mr. Gwon the realtor.
What's going on?
What do you mean
I sold the store space?
I never did.
Listen, Mr. Gwon,
there must be a mix-up.
Wait just a bit.
I'm heading over.
What is he talking about?
Why would I sell a perfectly nice store space?
(Emergency Shareholders' Meeting)
What is this?
A motion to dismiss the CEO
at a shareholders' meeting in the CEO's absence?
It was convened urgently,
so we only heard about it this morning.
Where's Director Kim? Why isn't he here?
He has a bad cold,
so I have his letter of proxy.
And these are our shareholders' votes.
Announce the result.
Yes, sir.
I will announce the result of the emergency meeting.
Seokpyo.
Perfect timing, President Hong.
Go on. Announce the result.
Yes, sir.
Motion to dismiss President Hong Seokpyo.
With 51 for
and 49 against,
the motion for dismissal passes.
This is outrageous.
Talk about a sneak attack.
This doesn't count!
What's going on? Your dismissal?
What happened?
This isn't right!
So the investment deal was a setup.
Who put you up to it?
Was it Director Kim?
How can you do this?
- President Hong! President Hong! / - Seokpyo!
Hong Seok? Talk about bad taste.
Worry about yourself, Ms. Jeong.
- What? / - What are you doing?
The charges are damage to property, obstruction
of business, and drunk and disorderly conduct.
I'm so embarrassed.
You need to find out something for me.
What do I do?
I'll take care of it.
That's why it's so reassuring.
I have your back, Mother.
The CEO's dismissal wasn't the main goal.
So you'll just step down?
Get me a list of the shareholders that voted yes.
