[Hae-in] The truth is, I've never hated you.
You still want it?
It annoys me just seeing it.
Let's get the divorce. We're done.
Even when I lied about my feelings…
you stood by me. How can I
ever repay you?
[Hyun-woo] No. I love her.
I love you, Hae-in.
[Hae-in] I love you.
You gave me a reason to live.
Sir, stay back.

You're still looking for him?
-Well, the thing is, we were-- -Get out.
[scoffs] Who the hell do you think you are? This place isn't yours.
The chairman isn't taking visitors today, Beom-ja.
So get out.
You lost our father because your son betrayed you.
And you still think that you deserve to be my father's legal guardian?
I'm going to see him.
Okay! I'll just walk out on my own.

Just let me see my father's face.
Just once. Please.
Do I have to kneel down?
-Let me in. -All right.
"All right," what?
[somber music playing]
I… can go?
But you have to leave of your own accord, or you'll be dragged out.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

[exhales]
You little shit.
You're finished.
You were given rights as his legal guardian.
Well, he's made a recovery.
So power of attorney or whatever, you can forget about it. Right, Grace?
Yeah, that's right. No doubt.
Wait, the doctor said--
Shut it!
Right now we're gonna call the police.

She did something to you, didn't she? Right?

What's… what's wrong with her?
Uh, Ms. Kim…
What's wrong with her?
According to the CT scan,
-it's acute cerebral edema. -[gasps]
The brain tumor put pressure on the surrounding tissue,
temporarily raising her cerebral pressure. First, we'll lower the pressure,
-and then-- -I don't understand, Doctor.
A tumor?
Did you know about this?
What Hae-in said earlier? Did you?
Honey.
If you knew about it, why didn't you tell us?
What have you been doing?
You should've told us that she was sick. Why didn't you tell us?
-Stop it, honey. -He tricked us again!
[gasps]
You kept this from us.
How could you say nothing to us? She's our daughter.
What kind of game are you playing at?
Will you please be quiet?
[gasping]
We've lost the right to be angry.
We apologize.
As her parents, we didn't
have any idea what was going on.
Tell us.
We need details.
So that I can understand what is happening to my daughter.
Hong Hae-in is currently suffering from Cloud Cytoma,
which is a type of malignant brain tumor.
Unlike most tumors,
which are clearly fixed in the form of lumps,
Cloud Cytoma spreads thinly between the cranial nerves
like a layer of fog.
Unfortunately, it's also a rare type of tumor,
so there aren't a lot of cases in the world.
It's been difficult to cure it in Korea.
[grim music playing]
[breath trembling]
[crying]
I'm sorry, Ms. Kim.
[Seon-hwa sobbing]
[melancholic music playing]
I am so sorry for… not telling you sooner.
Hae-in probably told you not to.
[music fades]
I'm sure it was hard for you as well.
Hae-in thought you and Ms. Kim
would be devastated.
So she was going to wait until she was better to tell you.
That was… her plan anyways.

[doctor] According to his MRI, it's a vascular dementia
caused by cerebral hemorrhage from the head injury.
Frontal and temporal lobes are severely damaged.
Hence the problem with his cognitive functions and his memory.
The only solution is to wait for the damage to heal.
We'll have to see if anything changes for him in the next two weeks or so.
Are you saying that he could recover?
I can't say for certain. Everyone's brain heals differently.

Unni.
What a shock.
I just heard the news, and--
You were aware of Hae-in's condition, weren't you?
That's why you were asking for me to be nicer to her.
[sighs]
I'm so sorry, unni.
Everyone knew but me.
I was the only one.
[Seon-hwa's breath trembles]
[Hae-in] But, Mom,
I just told you that something big has happened to me too.
Are you gonna ask what it is?
[Seon-hwa] Well, clearly, if you're so good at everything,
you'll take care of it yourself.
Of course.
I'll take care of it.
All on my own.
[Seon-hwa] Gosh, you're overreacting.
I'm anemic too. It's not crucial.
I didn't get any sleep. You don't see me complaining.
And Soo-cheol's going through a lot right now as well.
[scoffs] We've all been through a lot.

["Promise" by Choi Yu-ree playing]

-What? -[Da-hye] What's going on with Hae-in?
Is she really that sick?
No one in the family knew.
So Soo-cheol definitely didn't know.
-He must have been so shocked. -[sighs]
Is that why you called?
Well, not just that.
It's about Soo-cheol.
He has panic attacks when he gets stressed.
He takes medication for it.
I don't think he has it with him.
It'll be at our house. Someone needs to give it to him before it gets worse.
-They'll find it-- -Hey.
-Cheon Da-hye. -Without it, he could collapse and die.
-Let him die then. -What?
You don't mean that.
[sighs]
What do you want from me? You want me to kill him?
If you call me for something like this again,
I swear I'll kill him myself.

[phone clatters]
[sighs deeply]
[monitor beeping steadily]
Hyun-woo.
This is the reason.
For what?
[Soo-cheol] Hmm.
What is this?
I was carrying this around.
It was supposed to bring Hae-in bad luck. Not that I ever believed in it.
I just wanted to beat her at something for once.
-[melancholic music playing] -But… [sighs]
[crying] Now I'm thinking, what if the reason she's been so sick
is all because I wouldn't get rid of it.
All because I carried this shitty talisman around.
[Soo-cheol sobbing]
Hae-in.
Oh. Noona!
[sighing]
[music fades]
Hey, asshole. I heard you talking about a talisman.
[gasping]
[sputters] But… you saw it. It has to be… It has to be real, right?
I mean, she woke up as soon as I destroyed it.
[gasping]
Soo-cheol.
I want you to know…
I'm really sorry.
[gasps, cries]
Uh, Hyun-woo, my sister isn't right in the head.
[Soo-cheol sobbing]
Go get the doctor and everybody else.
Okay.
[door closes]
-Are you okay? -I love you.
From the first time I saw you,
I've always
loved you.
I'm sorry I couldn't do what I wanted for you.
And for leaving you all alone with my family.
I'm so sorry.
I think because you wanted to get divorced…
[sighs]
…I knew the truth.
["From Bottom of My Heart" by Kim Na-young playing]
You endured this for so long.
It's okay. Don't feel bad about it.
[sighs]
What are you saying?
If I died without telling you the truth,
you would have never known how I really felt.
Since I don't know when I'll die,
I'm telling you in advance.
[breath trembling]
Last night, I prayed.
More than I ever have in my whole life.
This was my prayer.
"I swear, if she dies like this,
I will cry and…
I will get drunk every day,
until I fall asleep on the street."
"I'll ruin my entire life."
[chuckles softly]
That's a terrible prayer.
[sniffles]
Well, I don't care.
If you die, I…
would be a disaster. Just wait and see.
How could I wait and see if I'm dead?
Hae-in, I'm serious.
I'm telling you how I really feel.
I was… dreaming and I was terrified
that I'd die without telling you.
Don't be scared.
You're not gonna die.
[Hyun-woo sighs]
You're not gonna die.
I won't let that happen.

[Beom-jun] Honey, why didn't you tell us what was going on?
It's all right now. We all know the truth.
It's all going to be fine. Don't worry.
I have a lot of close friends that are doctors, all over the world.
Oh, is that right? I should've said something earlier.
[chuckles]
[solemn music playing]
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
I mean, there's no need to say sorry to me.
You're the one who's sick.
But, yes, you should've told us sooner.
It must have been so hard dealing with this all by yourself.
[chuckles] It's all good now.
You're going to be fine, all right?

Where's Mom?

I… kept the truth from you.
I'm deeply sorry.

So you kept it from me.
As a mother, I should have noticed my child was dying.
Do I really know anything about my own daughter?
[sniffles]
[sighs]
I'm so pathetic.
I was suffering on the inside.
But I took it out on my own child.
[emotional music playing]
Whenever she would reach out to me…
not once
did I hold her hand.
How was she supposed to live like that?
I wouldn't have been able to survive.
[sniffles]
Hyun-woo.
It's all my fault
my Hae-in had me for a mother.
And it wore her down day by day until
it made her sick.
[emotional music continues]
[continues sobbing]
Are you a doctor?
[Seon-hwa gasps softly]
[music fades]
-[gasps] -You have no idea what this is.
The doctors don't know the cause, and they couldn't prevent it.
So stop pretending like you could have done something.

You're so annoying.

as a daughter
must have been difficult.

I didn't know about it.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry. I was
-wrong for how I acted. -[cries]
Listen.
I'm sick, yes, but that's got nothing to do with you.
You're not even listening to me right now.
That's why I didn't tell you.
[both crying]
I was wrong.
I… am so sorry for what I did.
I can't survive
without you, Hae-in.
So, you can't die. You can't.
You understand?
Don't you die on me. I'm so sorry…

[Hae-in sobbing]
My Hae-in…

I just… I'm so sorry.

The chairman… [sighs]
…is not in his right mind.
He won't even eat the food we give him, so I'll be staying with him.
That's why I requested that you come here.
Oh, of course. It's thanks to your efforts that he's even awake.
That's enough flattery.
How could you hold a press conference like that during a time like this?
We didn't know about the press conference either.
-Chairman Yoon thought-- -That's not good, is it?
You're getting paid a lot of money to know things like that in advance,
so you can stop accidents from happening.
Oh, my. Did I say the wrong thing just now?
Why should you have to hear this from me?
I just cook for the chairman and feed him.
What do I know? Is that it?
Uh, of course not. Not at all.
All right, then. I want to see all the drafts for Yoon Eun-sung,
and I'll confirm them first.
I'll tell public relations to come in the morning.
Public relations? Why?
This is a disaster.
Public sympathy for our previous management
has our current management under fire.
And that could lead to a fall in stock prices.
[attorney] There's opposition with anchor LPs.
Stock prices are falling too quickly, and they're wanting to delay the exit.
They are also saying that we should have a general partner.
[sighs] We have to find the slush fund to shut everybody up.
Have you looked into Chairman Hong's slush fund route?
Yes. It's confirmed that he managed the account at LCC Investment Bank
in Labuan, Malaysia through the bank's president, Jamal Ibrahim.
I think he cashed out and wired the money on the side.
-How much? -Close to 900 billion.
-[Eun-sung sighs] -[tense music playing]
Send someone to Labuan right now.
Hurry up. Find it.
[music swells, fades]
[Du-gwan] This place is famous for its noodle soup.
-Trust me, you'll like it. -I apologize.
I don't think I can eat right now.
With all the stress, you need to focus on eating well.
-[cutlery clinks] -The father is the head of the family.
You have to stay strong since your children will follow your example.
That just isn't how my family works.
I'm not the head of my family.
That seat has always belonged to my father.
He's the one in charge.
And to tell you the truth, it was comfortable for me.
I'm pathetic.
I was comfortable because I had little responsibility.
Now my daughter is dying and…
[solemn music playing]
And I told her I'm going to fix this.
I just feel like I have to make everything better,
and she'll pull through.
I don't think so.
That's not what parents are like for their children.
My father passed away early.
And even now,
when I have a tough decision, I still think of him.
"What would my father have done?"
Parents,
whether successful or not,
are like a lighthouse for their children.
So you have to eat well and stand strong,
with both your feet planted on the ground.
You light the way for them.
Here.
Let's eat.
Noodle soup is quite tasty.
But not when it's mush.

[Secretary Na] "This is like a TV drama showing true love for her ex-husband."
"I've never seen anyone speak so ardently about being terminally ill."
That's enough.
While you were out, you became a trending topic.
Trending? It's embarrassing.
Why? You've been acting quite dramatic lately.
You once aspired to be in the One Trillion Won Club.
Then you went into hiding after your family was ruined.
And to top it all off,
-you've fallen in love again. -[scoffs]
So now I'm a woman with a one-sided infatuation with her ex-husband,
who revealed she's terminally ill to save him.
-Is that not true? -It's embarrassing.
I'm worried about other things right now.
-What? -[sighs]
What's that?
I got this suit from the department store,
and it wasn't on sale.
-What do you think that means? -What does it mean?
It means I was so overjoyed,
thinking you were coming back.
But now I should go return it.
Why return it?
You'll become another executive secretary,
-so just wear it. -[sighs]
-Can't. -Why not?
You know I don't do well with people.
Which means not a lot of people want me working for them.
[inhales]
So you have to come back, all right? I'll wait for you.
It's not that simple.
However, I will try.
Trying your best doesn't matter.
Making it work is what's important, right?
By the time you return, I should still be paying off this suit.
[emotional music playing]
How long will that take?
Six months.
-[sighs sharply] That's a little-- -That's all the time you get.
Okay. All right, all right.
Why are you crying?
You woke up.
So today,
I'll give you a hug, kay?
[Secretary Na sniffling]
[sighs]
[sniffles]
[sighs]
-Look at this. -[music fades]

who still has feelings for her ex-husband.

Why are you paying attention to stuff like that?
[camera clicks]
-[camera beeps] -Look behind you.
[both gasp]
They must think I'm so pathetic.
[scoffs] That's a first for me.
In my whole life, I've never gotten looks like that.
This can't go on. I know.
You should take care of me in public.
-[whimsical music playing] -But how?
-What do I do? -First, I think,
you should ooze honey from your eyes.
"Honey"?
Uh…
This okay?
Oh. Well…
-[woman] Look. -Yeah, that's it.

-[Eun-sung] I was surprised you called. -I had something to say.
How are you?
I feel all right. They're letting me out soon.
-Why so soon? -There aren't any more treatments left.
Come back to the house.
-[sighs] -It'll be more comfortable for you.
That's not why I wanted to talk.
-Fine. -Things are tough for you.
The press is relentless,
and the anchor LPs are putting pressure on you.
If they try to get a new GP, it'll be hard for you to defend yourself
with just your shares.
That's right. You've put me in a tough spot.
So,
are you worried about me?
[scoffs] Not at all.
And I'm not sorry, no matter your situation.
Just know you're gonna suffer an even bigger loss
if you try anything funny again.
That's all I wanted to say.
[pensive music playing]
[scoffs]
Sure.
That's why you wanted to talk.
You call me, I…
[inhales shakily]
My heart starts to flutter. That's what you do to me.
You have no idea
how long I've had feelings for you or when it started.
No, I don't.
[Hae-in sighs]
And I don't really care.
Did you forget… the reason we stopped seeing each other?
It's true you helped me through some difficult times,
but, turns out the reason why I was suffering
was you, Eun-sung.
Then you should've given me a chance back then.
You ignored me at first.
I couldn't get close to you. That's why I did what I did.
That's just how you treat people in general.
You're doing it right now too.
You've pushed me into a pit so you could pull me out.
How could anyone fall in love with you?
What about Baek Hyun-woo?
Does he deserve your love?
That asshole was trying to get away from you.
Are you so ill that you forgot everything he did?
He's here right now.
He's here… at my side.
Do I have to explain further?
[scoffs]
[pensive music continues]
-Have you finished your conversation? -Mr. Baek.
I wanna know why you still wanna be with Hae-in.
I don't owe you an explanation.
You just got feelings for her now that she's dying?
Or do you think you'll get something out of it if you hold out?
[scoffs] I'll tell you what.
If you leave Hae-in and come work for me, I'll give you whatever you want.
[scoffs]
[Hyun-woo grunting]
I'm being very patient right now. Just leave.
Oh, shit.
Hey.
-[Eun-sung grunting] -[tense music playing]
[groans]
I won't confess my feelings to you when I haven't told Hae-in yet.
But no matter what you do, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm going to be by Hae-in's side from this day forward.
That's just the truth. We're done here.
Snap out of it and get lost.
[breathing shakily]
[music swells]
-You're out late. -[music fades]
I brought the chairman to the house. You heard, right?
You look chipper.
[sighing] Oh, well,
you must be heartbroken about the sudden news of Hae-in's illness.
Why are you bleeding? Did you get hurt?
[inhales sharply] Just don't.
It's fine.
I've always lived my life in shambles.
Pain isn't anything new.
You never cared when I got badly hurt as a kid.
So you better stop pretending like you care now.
You have a guest.
Not answering my calls? What's going on?
You really don't feel any responsibility for what happened to me?
Are you serious?
You barge in here after I told you not to call?
I barely avoid getting arrested, but now they won't stop investigating me.
Baek Hyun-woo is on my ass. He won't let the shit go!
So?
I guess I'm the only one whose life will be over
once this scam is revealed to the world.
You think you'll stay the chairman?
You will be exposed.
These are all the shares of LPs under Yoon Eun-sung's payroll.
I tested the waters earlier.
"Aren't your LPs angry?" "Aren't they looking for a new GP?"
And guess what? He agreed.
That means that…
Yoon Eun-sung hasn't found Chairman Hong's slush fund yet.
You're saying you knew? About the slush fund at the Swiss bank?
There are three corporations established
in the Virgin Islands, Moldova and Singapore.
The slush fund in Switzerland gets moved to Singapore.
Then it's made to seem like the corporation in the Virgin Islands
lent the money to the corporation In Moldova.
Then Singapore has a guarantee of obligation for Moldova.
Then Moldova will declare it's unable to pay them back.
Exactly. The Virgin Islands then files a breach of contract
and gets a court order saying that they should pay off the debt.
-[exhales] -[intriguing music playing]
Which means the court will permit us to move the slush fund.
Once that happens,
all three companies are shut down so the funds can't be tracked.
This method continues to launder the money until
finally, the money is transferred to the Malaysian bank.
[gasps softly]
That's genius. That means the slush fund is in Malaysia right now?
I don't think so. Yoon Eun-sung sent someone to Labuan today.
So Yoon Eun-sung doesn't know what's coming next, either.
[music fades]
[Hyun-woo inhales]
Wait, how did you… learn all of this?
[Hyun-woo] Plenty of people are dissatisfied with what's going on,
but have kept it to themselves.
Brand-new employees,
people who've been working here for over 30 years.
Your grandfather's longtime secretary even refused a massive raise and quit.
[solemn music playing]
Secretary Jang, how are you doing?
And all of them were just willing to help us?
Not us. They want to help the company that they've dedicated their lives to.
They don't want to see the company ruined.
What about you?
Why are you doing this? For the company?
Yeah, that's the reason.
Because… I know how much you love it.
That's why.
[chuckles]
[both chuckle]
[man 1] After deliberating, this committee finds that
Baek Hyun-woo failed to comply with his confidentiality obligations
-and leaked information to the-- -[knock at door]
[man 2] Who are you?
Oh. We're representing Mr. Baek Hyun-woo for this human resources committee.
Why would outside attorneys get in the way of an internal audit? Explain.
According to the Administrative Procedures Act,
Article 12, Paragraph 1, Number 3 and Article 11, Paragraph 4,
the person concerned may appoint an attorney as their representative.
[man 1 clears throat]
[chair drags]
Let's proceed. For the aforementioned reasons, we are terminating--
[Yang-gi] We've looked at your reasons.
You got a tip from a competitor that Baek Hyun-woo
leaked information of VIP clients to another competitor.
You checked the records of Mr. Baek's access to the VIP list from his account.
-Yeah, and? -When did you get this tip-off?
[man 2] August 6th.
-When did he access the VIP client list? -August 1st and 2nd, twice, both times.
That's strange. As Mr. Baek's company Internet account
was deleted earlier on July 28th.
Yes.
I returned my ID,
company-issued credit card, laptop and all of my company devices.
Well, he still could have accessed it through someone else's account, so--
"Someone else"?
His team members' accounts.
That means the Queens Department Store VIP client list
can be accessed through any employee's accounts?
-That would be a problem. -It would.
For specific information to be recognized as a trade secret,
it would have to be kept confidential.
However, if there are no access or download restrictions,
that means that Queens Department Store was not, in fact,
concerned with the confidentiality of their VIP list.
The real issue here is embezzlement.
Director Baek signed all the relevant documents.
Well, I asked a document appraiser,
a former director at the National Forensic Service,
for an appraisal of all 27 signatures.
His report showed that the detailed characteristics of the signatures,
including size, are completely identical.
The only way to explain this anomaly is copy and paste.
[clears throat] Well, we can't trust these findings,
since you're the one who requested the appraisal.
Then get it appraised at the prosecutor's office.
There's no monetary penalty for counterfeiting signatures.
Only imprisonment up to three years.
[man 1 hesitating]
[purposeful music playing]
[Yang-gi] Going forward,
we expect this committee will arrive at… [inhales]
…a wise judgment.
[man 1] Hmm.
[music turns exciting]
[tings]
[music swells, fades]
That was incredible. Did you see their faces?
[Dae-ho] I know. They were all in total shock.
[men laughing]
[laughter stops]
[pensive music playing]
[scoffs]
[drawer closes]
[chimes]
[cell phone ringing]
-[Eun-sung] It's me. -Ah, yes.
[tires screech]
How about we finish this?
Get rid of Hyun-woo.
He's been a nuisance to the two of us.
Boracay, yeah?
You wanna go? I'll fund your whole escape.
Ah, yes, Mr. Yoon.
Last time Baek Hyun-woo got the better of me,
I had my guard down. I won't make that mistake again.
[cell phone clatters]
[music swells]
[music fades]
Mmm, so good.
This group right here, we're unstoppable when we're together.
We all practice different kinds of law,
but we came together to save our friend from a predicament.
[chuckles] We're like the Avengers.
I'm sorry, but I didn't come along just to help.
Everybody is asking if you're gonna finally get back together with your ex.
So how about it, huh?
[birds chirping loudly]
[chirping stops]
Well, that's private.
-Cheol-seung, you studied commercial law? -[Yang-gi] That's right.
At school, you were great at bills of exchange and promissory notes.
These days, I just do whatever my clients need me to do.
Here. Have a look at this.
-Check the account flow. -[Cheol-seung] Hmm.
WSB SWITZERLAND BANK
Where did you find all this?
[intriguing music playing]
-[woman gasps] Hi. -Oh. Whoa.
-Here, take this. -[woman chuckles]
I'll take this on my way out. Second floor basement?
-Secretary Na? Hello. -Ah.
-Hello. -[box thumps]
[bottles clinking]
-Here, enjoy. -Oh. Thank you so much.
[intriguing music continues]
Yoon Eun-sung is in search of Chairman Hong's slush fund
in order to secure his shares.
[Yang-gi] Slush fund? How much is it?
-Nine hundred billion won. -[men choking]
[Dae-ho] What the…
-[Yang-gi coughing] -Oh.
I…
-am going to steal it. -[music swells, fades]
[Grace] Ms. Moh, please be careful of the UV rays.
What is this? I thought you were on Beom-ja's side.
Wait. Really?
Oh, then you misunderstand.
-[intriguing music playing] -You see, back then, Beom-ja,
she asked me to, matter of fact,
begged me to see her father's face once more.
I felt bad for her. I'm weak for those sort of things.
Then stick with the one you feel bad for.
Oh, hey, listen. I have standards.
I only side with people who possess both money and power.
You, Ms. Moh Seul-hee, are the queen right now. [chuckles]
And so, my ambition to be CEO? Forget it.
I will stand with you, my queen.
[inhales] Like your servant. [chuckles]
Servant, my ass.
-I suppose we'll see. -Of course.
Amazing Grace will be an amazing servant.
[Grace chuckling breathily]
[music fades]
Chairman Hong, you recognize this room?
I was told being in a familiar place will help you heal.
Caring for someone isn't easy. How about I give you a quick massage?
How do you feel about frankincense for the aroma?
All right, then.
[ominous music playing]
Oh, thank you for your efforts.
You may leave so the chairman can relax.
[door opens]
[Grace chuckles]
[music fades]
[suspenseful music playing]
[softly] Hey. Tell me where the money is.
I know you know.
The slush fund you said you moved under my name.
Where the hell did you hide it?
[whirring]
[gripping music playing]
[gasps]
[music swells]
[music fades]
[ominous music playing]
[music swells]
[music fades]
I don't care how you do it. Keep watching them.
That evil bitch might do something to my dad.
I have to go.
[romantic music playing]
[wind whooshing]
[tinkling]
[gasps] Oh, oh, oh.
He's lying shirtless in broad daylight. Why would he do that? [inhales]
-[tinkling] -[enchanting music playing]
[exhales]
"Ooh. Look at me."
"I'm so good-looking and I've got a nice body."
Just look at him.
[gasping] Oh! Oh.
[music fades]
[footsteps approaching]
[romantic whimsical music playing]
Were you snooping?
[music fades]
I just… Well, I… [sighs]
[clears throat]
It seems like you were peeking over the wall.
I wasn't peeking at all.
It just caught my eye as I was passing by here.
[Yeong-song sighs]
Do you want this?
-What is it? -Mulberry.
Mulberry.
[gasps]
-Fresh? -Yes, picked from a mulberry tree.
They're good for women's health.
How much for them?
I'm not selling them. You could just take some.
Why would you just…
[laughs] You're bold, I'll give it to you.
Huh?
[inhales] This is a new one.
Nobody's ever flirted with me using mulberries.
To be clear, right now, I'm saying yes to the mulberries,
not your feelings. Cool?
-[quirky music playing] -[chuckles]
-What's your MBTI type? -What?
[inhales sharply] I'm thinking you're an ISTJ.
IS… What?
They are perfectionists, they have a good memory
and they seem cold at first, but they're actually very caring.
The actors Cha Tae-hyun and Natalie Portman are ISTJs.
[scoffs] What the hell?
[music fades]
You're not working?
Everyone else is working in the paddy fields right now.
I work.
-A little bit. -Why?
Life's too short to work that much.
I do just enough to keep all this going.
[whimsical music playing]
[clucking]
[gasps]
You filming a survival show in there? [inhales]
[exhales] Was he saving these for me?
[chuckling]
Natalie Portman?
-Mmm, mmm. Oh! -[mulberry squelches]
[sighs]
Hmm.
[tinkling]
[music fades]
Goodness! Why are there so many?
-[sighs in exasperation] -Yeong-song, it was Yeong-song.
He recently harvested mulberries. He has more too.
He's giving them out to everyone in the neighborhood,
-trying to get rid of them. -Hmm.
[water sloshing]
Doesn't make sense.
Why not just sell the leftovers?
Oh, well, he's always leaving just enough for his family
-and giving out the rest out to others. -[Mi-seon] What are we gonna do with this?
[camera shutter clicks]
[tense music playing]
[tires screeching]
[gripping music playing]
[music swells, fades]
Someone once said that the wisest of all persevere with a treat.
Ah, yes. I agree with that completely.
People don't get the strength and energy to keep fighting
just from willpower alone, yeah?
You have to take care of your body.
-Clean off your hands. -Huh?
Also, if you think about the most important days in your life,
they always revolve around food.
Birthdays, the day you got your first job, graduations.
And today, the day you were discharged from the hospital.
Today we celebrate you.
We never eat fancy on my birthday. We always had Chinese takeout.
You had raw fish and sir-fried chicken.
[Soo-cheol] Shh.
-I'll grill it. -You'll what now?
In your whole life, you've only ever eaten meat
that other people have grilled for you.
From now on, when we eat as a family, I'll do all the grilling.
Nobody else grab the tongs.
-Right here. -Yes, sir.
Just…
Hae-in, I heard the doctor told you
that your white blood cell levels are really important.
That they have to be at a certain level,
so you can go to Germany and get a new treatment.
That's right, the levels,
they have to be at around 4,000 to 10,000 per microliter.
When you went to Germany, what were your levels?
-Fifteen hundred. -[all gasp]
-[Bong-ae] That's too low. -Why are they so low?
Yeah, but last week, they were a lot higher. Around 3,000.
[both] Ah.
-Oh! -[Du-gwan] That's good.
Wow, you're so lucky. That's nearly double.
[chuckles] Well, I wouldn't say lucky.
-I still have more than 1,000 to go. -[Soo-cheol] That's not much.
You need to keep working to raise those levels.
You can't just work and see improvements. It's not like taking the SATs.
Oh, so what did the doctor say that you should do?
Well, apparently, the most important factors
are your immune system and your physical strength.
So she needs to eat food high in protein and vitamins and get lots of rest.
High in protein? Then she should be eating lots of meat and beans too.
So I was thinking I would plan her diet for her.
[Bong-ae chuckles]
[emotional music playing]
[meat sizzling]
-Oppa! -[Beom-jun] Hmm?
Flip it.
[Beom-jun] Hmm.
-Huh? Oh, it's a little burnt. -[groans]
-What should I do? -Just cut the burnt parts.
I'll take the scissors from you.
Uh, no. I can do it.
So, meat and beans. What else is good for her?
Bananas and nuts, they say.
-[Soo-cheol] All right. -[Bong-ae] It's like a bouquet.
-Oh, it's good. -Well, yes, it is.
[Bong-ae and Seon-hwa laughing]
-[Beom-jun] Oh. -[Beom-ja] He's excited. [chuckles]
-[Du-gwan] What is that? -[Beom-ja] I'm excited.
[Du-gwan] It looks great.
-[Mi-seon] Tell the truth, Dad. -[laughing]
-[Bong-ae] Look at that, look at that. -[speaks indistinctly]
[Soo-cheol] You have to eat a lot of protein, so eat up.
-[Bong-ae] You eat up. -[Du-gwan laughing] Okay.
I told her to eat.
[Beom-ja] Beom-jun, eat while you grill that.
[all talking indistinctly]
-[Seon-hwa] How sweet. -[Soo-cheol] Don't give me a piece
-with fat on it! -[Hyeon-tae] Fat is the best!
[emotional music continues]
[knocking at door]
-Yes? -[door opens]
[music fades]
[door closes]
This is broken again.
Oh, it's not working?
[whirring]
[Hyun-woo] Press it right here, it'll turn on.
You're good at it. I can't get it to work.
Well, should I get a new one?
-Why? -Because it's inconvenient for you.
You can do it for me, though. You're so good at it.
[chuckles] Yeah, well, the more I do it,
the better I seem to get.
[hairdryer clicks off]
You're right. This looks really good.
-[brush taps on hairdryer] -[Hyun-woo chuckles]
Since you're better at it, you should keep doing it.
Sure, that's easy.
What else? What else do you want me to do?
Just tell me. I'll do it.
Drying off… my hair with a broken hairdryer is enough for me.
[Hyun-woo] Hmm.
-That's it? -"That's it?"
You'll have to be by my side every day.
Plus, in the past,
I've had a problem with being too greedy.
No, you should be greedy. Why not?
You don't have to be so nice to me.
When I told you I loved you,
I wasn't expecting you to treat me any differently.
I just
wanted you to know how I felt.
Me too.
That's how I feel too.
And if I'm able to,
I want to treat you better.
That simple.
[emotional music playing]
Yesterday, when I woke up and I saw Soo-cheol's face,
I thought, "Who is that?"
I forgot the name of the doctor in charge of my treatment.
And when I walked out into the hall,
I forgot how to get back to my room, so I just stood there.
When the doctor first explained my illness,
he said I would start to forget things.
Then there would be sensory and speech impairment.
I scoffed at him back then.
"That happens to other people."
"I'll be different."
And yet, I'm experiencing the symptoms in exactly that order.
It's just so horrible thinking about what's coming next.
I don't want to go through the next part with you.
Uh, what are you saying?
I just want to be happy right now.
And when it gets bad later on,
I don't want you… to have to go through all that.
That's what I want.

Why would he do that?

[sighs] Gosh.

-[doorbell rings] -[man] Room service.
[whooshing]
Here.
-[Hyeon-tae exhales] -[grunts]
[groans]
-What, bitter? -[grunts]
[Soo-cheol scoffs]
-Bitter's how I'm feeling right now. -Oh, jeez.
[Hyeon-tae] Mmm.
Can we speak casually, Master?
"Master"?
-Whoa! -I will learn how to box from you.
Eun-sung was right in front of me, and I didn't even throw a punch at him.
Instead, I fell down. It was humiliating.
[Hyeon-tae sighs]
Look, if you start working out while you're angry, you'll pop a joint
-and be in pain for the rest of your life. -Who cares?!
I don't care if they pop!
I need to train now, or else I'll go crazy.
Yeesh.
What happens when my loved ones are in danger and I have to protect them?
[yells, gasps]
-I can't even think about that. -Oy, oy, oy.
[sighing] Ah.
All right, I'll teach you.
[gasps]
-Thank you so much. Thank you. -Sit.
-Sit. Sit, sit. -Thank you, thank you. [panting]
I won't be able to teach you everything right now,
so let's focus on one thing.
-Tell me. -With a skilled opponent…
-[thrilling music playing] -…you only hit them once.
-Huh? -Oh.
[music swells, fades]
-[bell dings] -There are two key techniques.
-[gripping music playing] -Soo-cheol,
hit me once.
Really?
-[Hyeon-tae groaning] -Oh?
[music stops]
Am I really that strong?
Not at all. The first technique…
-[music resumes] -…is falling down.
That way, your opponent starts to think,
"How pathetic! I'm so much stronger than this guy is. It's ridiculous."
He's done for.
-Oh. Hmm. -Now it's your turn.
-[Hyeon-tae grunts] -[groaning]
[amusing note plays]
-[grunts] -That's great.
-You punched me really hard. My nose! -Sorry. Are you all right?
Hey, why are we even doing all this?
This is how they lower their defenses.
You're gonna wait until the exact moment
that they let their guard down and then, wham!
-You drop 'em. -What if they don't stop beating me?
Well, that's the second technique. Ability to take blows.
To improve that ability, you need stamina.
-I don't think this will really work. -[inhales deeply]
[sighs]
[epic music playing]
My mentor, Muhammad Ali, once said,
"Impossible… is not a fact, it's an opinion."
[Hyeon-tae exhales]
-[Soo-cheol gasps] -Hmm.
[Soo-cheol gasps]
Soo-cheol, you can do this.
You'll take a few blows now and soon you'll be a champion for life.
Was that Muhammad Ali too?
No, I added that part.
-Now, let's practice. Go. -[music swells, fades]
-[Hyeon-tae grunts] -[whimpers]
[Hyeon-tae] Uh…
[slurping]
[quirky music playing]
[Grace] Wow, this is the perfect place for you to focus on your health.
-Lovely scenery. -[scoffs] Our health?
Cut the crap! How dare you show your face here?
I invited Grace here.
Really? Why?
There's something I have to tell you. It's about Chairman Hong's slush fund.
-[music fades] -Nine hundred billion won?
-[gasps] -So all that money is in Malaysia?
-No, it's in Korea for now. -In Korea?
It was in a shell company in Hong Kong first. Then it was moved.
The Hong Kong corporation
lent cash out to five different investment companies in Korea.
After that, they shut down the company.
But if it's shut down, those companies don't have to pay back the money.
So the owner of those companies is the chairman?
Before he lost consciousness, ownership changed to Moh Seul-hee.
-What? -[Beom-jun gasps]
So that bitch has everything now?
I don't think so.
-[intriguing music playing] -She's still looking for it.
[Seul-hee] I know you know.
The slush fund you said you moved under my name.
Where the hell did you hide it?
[Seon-hwa] But should we talk about this in front of Grace?
Trust me, okay? I have fully defected.
You know who Lee Woong-pyung is, right? That's me.
I decided to fly my fighter jet right into the land of the free.
Time will tell.
Prove your loyalty and show us your fighter jet. What do you got?
I know someone who works in real estate. And I heard something strange.
Director Jin of Queens Gallery borrowed a 5,000-pyeong storage unit
right in the middle of Gyeonggi-do.
I mean, it's not like he's building a movie set.
So why does he need such a large storage unit?
-You think the cash is stored in there? -Bingo.
[music fades]
[man] You told me to bring you
all the mail that was addressed to the previous chairman.
Yeah.
[intriguing music playing]
[Grace] I feel like there's too many of us, you know?
It'd be much faster if I just went in alone.
Don't even think about it. I wouldn't trust you in there for one minute.
Still, all of you have been on the news recently.
What if they recognize you?
That's why we're in disguise. We'll take it from here.
-You may go. -[music fades]
Listen to me. This is gonna be difficult.
You have to pretend to be someone else.
Have you ever done that before? Faked it?
No, you haven't. I've had to fake it my whole life.
And you're leaving me out of this huge operation?
All right. I'm in real estate, representing everyone here.
You are wholesalers who need a storage unit like this.
I'll take care of everything. So, don't talk too much, okay?
And watch my six.
[intriguing music playing]
I don't see where the money could be piled up in here.
So, what are you trying to store?
-[Beom-jun] Golf clubs. -Clothes.
[music fades]
Oh, this man is [chuckles] a golf equipment importer,
-and, uh, she sells clothes in Dongdaemun. -Ah.
-[Soo-cheol exhales] -And he is not from around here.
He understands Korean quite well. But, uh, can't really speak it. [chuckles]
[Soo-cheol] Uh…
[in Chinese] Sir. No coriander.
[in English] Uh, yes, I don't understand what you're saying. [laughs]
[quirky music playing]
[Soo-cheol] Ah. [chuckles, sighs]
Now I suppose the dehumidifier is running at the moment.
How perceptive.
The people who used to rent this space were art importers.
I have a background in art as well. Which artists do you have?
No one famous. They're all new artists.
The prices of their work have gone up twentyfold.
-I guess they're popular. -[gasps]
-[man] This place attracts good luck. -Oh.
[in Chinese] No cilantro in my dish, please.
Yes.
[in English] He's curious if he could look at the artwork.
[man] Sure. Why not?
[in Chinese] Your Majesty, what has become of my child?
[man laughs]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Hae-in in English] The front door is open. We're inside.
-Go into the office. -Yeah. All right.
[line connects]
[telephone ringing]
So should I write this off as business-related?
I'll pay your travel expenses.
[gripping music playing]
It's just they really can't find out that I'm involved in this sort of thing.
[inhales]
[Seon-hwa] Gosh, the artwork really shouldn't be stored like this.
So these are the works of painters whose values increased twentyfold?
[man] Yes, well, I think that's what they say.
[Beom-ja] I don't have an eye for art,
but, uh, [chuckles] they don't really seem all that good.
[intriguing music playing]
I think they're using the paintings to launder the slush fund.
So they dumped all that money into artwork created by unknown artists?
Well, the value rose twentyfold.
Then 90% of the money that was deposited was returned in cash.
That's the method being used to withdraw the money.
-[music fades] -That's a huge amount of cash.
Where else could you store that much money?
[gripping music playing]
DECRYPTING…
-[Hae-in sighs] -[cell phone vibrates]
We have to leave. Come on.
This is driving me crazy. There's too much here.
[Hae-in sighs]
I'll call once my clients have decided, but it's looking great.
Sure.
[Grace] All right.

Hmm?

Wait here a minute. I'll get the car.

-[rain patter gets louder] -[Hyun-woo] Hae-in.
Hyun-woo? Back so soon?
What are you doing? Let's go.
[Hae-in sighs]
I was feeling dizzy.
I'm also pretty hungry.
You want to eat something first?
Okay.
[exhales softly]
How long was I out?
Oh, not long.
[tense music playing]
-Hae-in. -Hmm?
Hold on tight.
Why?
-Someone following us again? -Don't worry. Hold on.

-Should we call the police? -[music fades]
-Just a minute. -I think we should.
Three guys attacked you last time, so--

[car door closes]
["Love You With All My Heart" by Crush playing]
Hae-in!
[song fades]
Jeez, some of these comments are…
Eun-sung put out articles saying you're being investigated
since there's evidence you embezzled company money before your divorce.
-It's fine. Forget about it. -I can't just ignore this, huh?
"Hong Hae-in's ex-husband tricked her into a sham marriage."
"That's why they say, 'Never trust a man who's good-looking.'"
Who does this prick think he's cussing out?
We should file lawsuits.
I said it's fine. Let's go.
[tuts, sighs] There are comments about Hae-in too.
"Just got divorced and she's already dating. She must be real easy."
Wow, they're really going after her.
"Maybe that stuff about her dying is made up."
That's a little much.
["Last Chance" by So Soo Bin playing]
Let's take a screenshot of this. We'll submit it as evidence.
We'll sue them into the ground for this. We won't settle.
Hey, what's up? You're scaring me.
They're not getting away with this.
QUEEN OF TEARS
[song continues]
[Hyun-woo] I think we may know where the slush fund is.
-Oh, over there. -[all laughing]
[Beom-ja] Get it together.
[Hae-in] It's a romantic idea. We have a real love story.
[Secretary Na] They're just the sweetest.
[man] I know you've got it.
-Da-hye! -[yells] Hey!
[Hyun-woo] We won't know until we check for ourselves.
[Hae-in] I can't be sure of anything anymore.
[Eun-sung] I met you first, liked you first.
Does that mean Hyun-woo knows where it is?
[Hae-in] Is this real, or is it just a dream?
