01x10 - Seung Wook Makes A Deal

[bunniefuu]

[Episode 10]

Gosh, I'm so hungover.

I should never go too long
without drinking again.

I hadn't drunk in a while.
That's why I'm hungover.

Did I sleep here last night?

Darn it. The entire family must be
making a huge fuss right now.

I've lost my mind.

What happened next?

I have a feeling
something important happened.

Did I call someone I shouldn't?

My goodness.

Where's my phone?

You crazy little...

[Mother-in-law]

What did I say to this woman?

Do you know who I really am?

I'm not Kang Mi Na.

I am...

Cho...

And then? What came next?

What did I say?

Oh my gosh.

- What?
- Where are you?

How much did you drink last night?

What did you say to Mom
that she won't leave her room?

Did anything else happen?

What else?
Things only happen to you.

I know things are a mess
because of the list yesterday,

but how could you
stay out all night?

List?

[One the Woman]

The police have not given
a statement...

regarding the memo
left by Lee Bong Sik...

who died while being investigated.

The prosecutor stated
that there were no signs...

of police brutality
or violations of human rights.

Was it suicide or m*rder?

- Who's the prosecutor on the case?
- Who is it?

Did Hanju Group
give you separate instructions?

[Did Hanju Group
give you separate instructions?]

- Excuse me.
- Step aside.

I can't get kicked out of the family
until I uncover the link...

between the chief prosecutor
and Hanju.

What did I say when I was drunk?

Yes. Let's go to work first.

It's okay.
I'm used to not remembering things.

I can handle it.

- Last night...
- Wait.

I don't remember
what happened last night, so...

You don't...

remember?

No. I'm not playing dumb
like some coward.

I remember up to that part.

But afterward...

What's "that?"

"That?"

That's...

So...

Do you remember
being sprawled on the floor?

Yes, I do. I remember.

And that you got into your place
thanks to me?

Guess my door code.

That's right. So...

Whose daughter you are,
whom you resemble,

who likes you...

None of that matters to me.

I'm going to go for what I want
and do what I want to do.

I won't let anyone
take from me again.

I was grateful. So I...

- Ki...
- Yes, that.

I remember up to that part,
but that's all.

It's all spotty after that. Well...

I see.

Goodness. Are you all right?

Why did you drink so much?
And why did you call?

Did I call you too?

What did I say?

You'll regret it if you hear it.
Should I tell you?

No. Don't.

Darn it.

I guess the shock from
Lee Bong Sik's death was too much.

What's wrong with her?

Why did he look like that
when I said my memory ended there?

Why do I feel like
something very important happened?

Hey!

You said all sorts of garbage
last night.

Why are you silent today?

Did I call you too?

What did I say?

You cursed me out.

Is that all?

What do you mean, is that all?
You cursed at your chief.

I'm letting it slide
since I know how you felt.

Get it together.

Summon Kang Mi Na and investigate.

What about Lee Bong Sik's case?

That again?

I said to bury it.

Will you give up your career
to investigate just that one case?

Did you give up on getting promoted?

Is my promotion the only thing
you can threaten me with?

Yes, I gave up.

Lee Bong Sik didn't k*ll himself.
I'm going to catch his k*ller.

Hey!

Don't give up.
Why are you so extreme?

Don't give up on your promotion.

Do you want to get transferred...

somewhere deep in the boonies
after searching for his k*ller?

You have such a bright future
ahead of you.

Just do as I say, will you?

Listen.

We'll close Lee Bong Sik's matter
with Kang Mi Na...

and we'll call it even. Okay?

I'll give you three days.

I'll take you off
all of your other cases,

so summon Kang Mi Na...

within three days.

The boonies?

Fine. I'll go.

I'll resolve the disputes
between grandpas...

and catch people from savings clubs
that take off with the money.

Living like that wouldn't be so...

good.

I'll never see the inside of
Central District again.

You are so unpredictable
but very predictable.

You always sober up with milk
after getting wasted.

Yu Jun. Most women...

who reject a guy
three times in a row...

feel bad and treat him nicely...

or keep a distance from him, right?

But not me.

We'll stay like this
for the rest of our lives.

We'll be the Green Dragon and
White Tiger of Prosecution Services.

Yes.

Don't get me wrong.
I'm not here for you.

I'm here because your chief
called me here.

Why?

We're going to dig into Kang Mi Na
for real now.

Don't act out.

Just follow my lead, okay?

Did you bring what you got
when you investigated her?

Yes.

[Chief, Ryu Seung Duk]

["Hyebyul Gallery Holds
Volunteer Event for Animal Shelter"]

Okay.

Which one is Kang Mi Na?

The one wearing sunglasses.

They're all wearing sunglasses.

The tall woman.

She's a head taller than the rest.

September 17, 2019.

She did volunteer work
for an animal shelter...

suspected of embezzling funds.

What's this? Is this everything?

- Yes.
- Yes?

Are you messing with me?

You barged into the office
of Yumin's chairman with a drug tip.

But you come in here
with one sheet of paper?

Your senior prosecutor is trying
so hard to teach you how to fish,

but this is all you can do?

I don't like fish very much.

Get out.

Yes, sir.

You punk. I saw you
have cod stew at lunch before.

He's going crazy
because he's working with Hanju.

I'm sure they're the reason
Lee Bong Sik died.

What will you do?
Will you really summon Kang Mi Na?

What is there to do?
It's a fake list.

How can you prove it?

Do you know why
I haven't been found out yet?

Because the real Kang Mi Na
hasn't shown up.

No matter how well a fake does,

it'll be obvious she's a fake
once the real one shows up.

I have to find the real one.
Lee Bong Sik's original list.

Do you think it's out there?

I'm sure it is.

That was why Chief
was so afraid of him.

And...

Either find me a boat
to get me out of the country...

or put money into a Swiss account.

I need to see evidence...

to decide whether or not
I give you what you ask for.

He said he would give it to me.

I'm sure he's connected to someone.

Where do I start digging first?

Remember how you asked...

if Samgeori g*ng got Kang Mi Na
out of the country too?

- Yes.
- I don't think it was them.

Lee Bong Sik acted alone.

I think...

maybe Samgeori g*ng was involved
with people he was trying to hide.

They gave me the tip
about Kang Mi Na and the drugs.

Are you saying
Hanju is working with Samgeori g*ng?

Lee Bong Sik, that jerk.

That's what you get
for acting arrogant.

Serves you right.

Hello, sir.

The thing with the list
happened rather too dramatically.

My point exactly. What happened?

Pulling the trigger like this
without giving me a heads-up...

will only put me
in a difficult position.

What are you talking about?

You see, I had no idea.

People are saying the prosecution...

is deliberately withholding
Lee Bong Sik's list...

and that some of the prosecutors
were in on it too.

All these misunderstandings
are giving me such a headache.

What's with this attitude?

Pardon me?

I simply pointed out
that there was something wrong...

with Lee Bong Sik's list.
That's all.

What are you talking about?

My apologies.

It seems like I was misinformed.

No wonder your intention
is being misunderstood.

Why did you have to
withhold the list...

and complicate everything?

I have to go.

How dare he try to blame me?

Goodness,
look at him drawing the line.

Whose fault is it
that I'm in this mess now?

[Chief, Ryu Seung Duk]

What did I tell you?

I told you
that the chief prosecutor...

would act like he had something
on us if we weren't careful.

Dad.

Why are you saying this to me?

It is your own fault
that we're in this mess.

Back then and now.

You must stay strong.

It's your own fault
that all of this happened.

[14 years ago]

[Board Meeting,
Merger of Hanju Fashion and Hotel]

Is this a military operation
or something?

Why suddenly call a board meeting
in the wee hours?

I apologize on behalf
of Chairman Han Kang Sik...

for causing the accounting
and embezzlement scandal...

right before the merger.

However, we should no longer
let my brother's mistakes...

affect the company's reputation
and stock price...

for everyone's sake.

Therefore,
we should put it all behind us now.

I will now take responsibility
for everything...

that is related
to Chairman Han Kang Sik.

To save time,
we'll decide by a show of hands...

instead of a secret ballot,

so please raise your hand
if you agree to the merger.

Chairman Han Kang Sik of Hanju Hotel
passed away due to the fire...

that broke out at Hanju Fashion's
factory in Seopyung last night.

Hanju Fashion and Hanju Hotel...

held an emergency board meeting
this morning...

and decided
to merge the two companies.

Han Sung Hye has been appointed
the new CEO of Hanju Hotel.

It is said that she was a key member
of Hanju Fashion's management team,

so a change in the company's
management structure...

will be inevitable.

This reminds me of that day


That agreement was made in secret,
just like what's happening now.

You'll find a way
to get out of the reinspection.

You'll collude
with the accounting firm...

to get the upper hand
on the shares...

and push through the merger.

Do you know
what really reminds me of that time?

The fact that the owner
has something to hide.

What is Mi Na up to?

She didn't come home last night.

Why are you asking me?

I think I can ask you this question
because you ran out the door...

as soon as you saw the news
about her.

There are rampant rumors
about her name being on the list.

And as you know, the hotel business
is all about image.

So ideally, we wouldn't want
the focus to be on Yumin.

How about we change the name
to Hanju after the merger?

And it'd be best if I could
take over the CEO position.

Since this already happened,

we'll downsize and merge with Yumin.

Let's make sure
this is a win-win deal.

What if I say no
to any of the conditions?

I'm not asking for your consent.

I'm just relaying a message.

So if you decline this offer,

things will get even worse
for Chairman Kang Mi Na.

All right. Are we done now?

How about we grab a bite to eat?

I have to meet someone.

The talk with Yumin went well.

Let's take this as an opportunity
to fire the employees...

higher up the pay scale
and those who are disobedient.

Let's get rid of them all.

- What did they say?
- What do you think?

They told me
to bring Kang Mi Na at once.

But you know, Kang Mi Na
and I are not related at all,

but we look identical.

Doesn't that mean there could be
someone else that looks like us?

Can't we find another look-alike?

Stop talking nonsense.

Right, I shouldn't talk to you.

If you want to vent,
go talk to Mr. Han.

No, I can't vent to him.

I used to tell you these things,

but I can't do that anymore.

Gosh, I must've looked so stupid.

Darn it.

Don't do it if you don't want to.

Why must you
make so much fuss over it?

That car is owned by Hanju Group?

Are you sure?

Okay.

[Chief, Ryu Seung Duk]

["Hyebyul Gallery Holds
Volunteer Event for Animal Shelter"]

What do Cho Yeon Ju and that punk
who doesn't like fish...

have to do with Hanju?

[Volunteers]

That's right.

I hope you like the food.

Everyone who has to cook
three meals a day...

loves to dine out.

I love eating out,
regardless of what's on the menu.

I wanted to say hello to you
in person last time.

I'm sorry for leaving like that.

Don't be sorry.

You probably never wanted
to set foot in that house again.

I couldn't even eat the c*ck
that you sent me...

because they reminded me
of my father.

I sent them to you
so you'd think of your father.

You should go back to the US.

You know, 14 years ago...

Your father and I were very close.

Yes, I'm aware.

But I was also close
to Chairman Han Young Sik.

The two of them didn't know though.

You know, there are people...

who can switch sides
back and forth...

without revealing their cards
and monitor the situation.

You mean,
you're neutral like Switzerland?

No, like a double agent.

Back then,
I thought I had no choice...

if I wanted to keep working
for the family.

But I've been feeling guilty...

ever since we lost your father
like that.

Maybe that happened...

because of some things
that I had said or done.

Since then,
I have never taken anyone's side.

I'm sure
it wasn't entirely your fault,

so please don't beat yourself up.

I'm giving you the advice
someone else gave me.

Thank you.

But Chairman Han seems to think...

that I'm still okay being his spy.

He asked me to meet with you.

He is capable of ditching Sung Hye
and joining hands with you.

I think he wants to know
how you'd feel...

if the merger conditions were
in favor of you.

- I'm...
- No.

Don't tell me anything.

I'd have to relay whatever I heard.

I'll tell him
you didn't say anything.

This is good.

Michelin isn't an absolute standard,

but I guess it could give you
some hints.

That's right.
If they found out who I am,

Mi Na's mother-in-law
wouldn't have just sat back.

Since she's been quiet,
I'll assume I didn't get caught.

Wait a second.
What if she's waiting...

to catch me off guard?

What if I find a swarm of
police officers in the living room?

Then again, she doesn't come across
as such a meticulous person.

I drink too much last night
and made a mistake.

So did you sleep in the apartment
near the Prosecutors' Office?

What?

Why are you so surprised?

People are saying
you'll be summoned again soon.

Since you're being
summoned so often,

I assumed you found a place
in that neighborhood.

Shouldn't you start looking for one?

Hello, Mother. It's me.

How could you do this to me?

When you told me
to prepare breakfast at 5 a.m.,

I knew how mean all of you were.

But do you have to make me
suffer this much?

You must be losing your mind
because of that list.

Serves you right.

Do you find this amusing, woman?

Do you?

Let's see how much longer
you can enjoy this, woman.

I'll tell everyone!

I'll reveal your dirt
to the whole world.

I know everything!

What? Did you just call me "woman?"

You must be out of your mind.

Do you know who I really am?

I'm not Kang Mi Na.

I'm Cho...

Cho...

Cho...

- Stop.
- What are you doing?

I'm the queen of Joseon!

I'm the queen of Joseon!

You've completely lost your mind.

How dare you call me
and throw a drunken tantrum?

Darn it. The call got cut off.

Why wouldn't you let me talk?

I have a feeling
something more happened.

What are you mumbling?

Hey, you said you had
something on me last night.

What is it?

I don't want to remember it.

No. I still have to.

But I don't want to.

Gosh, what do I do?

Hey! I'm talking to you!

What did she find on me now?

I have no idea what it can be.

[Fresh Milk]

Even today,

there are people who decide whom
their grandchildren should marry.

Isn't that funny?

As you probably know,
I'm still mourning,

so I felt uncomfortable coming here.

My family must have pushed you
into doing this.

No. If my grandpa hadn't shown me
your picture,

that would have been the case.

But when I saw your picture,

I wanted to meet you.

Are you okay now?

- What?
- On the day my father passed away,

I heard that something unfortunate
happened to you at the hospital.

Instead of being so useless
all your life...

and successfully taking your life
one day,

why don't you do our family
some good for once?

The old man at Hanju Group...

seems to want to marry off
his grandson to you...

to expand his business.

In terms of risk management,
it's quite a tempting offer.

I wouldn't mind
getting you out of my sight,

and you'd be more than happy
to leave my house, wouldn't you?

I don't want to talk about that.

I'm trying to forget
what happened that day.

I see.

Like you said,
when I look through a telescope,

I realize how vast the universe is,
and it makes me think...

my problems are trivial.

I thought you'd like it.

Me?

Did I say that?

How do you use this?

Well...

Try looking into this.

Say no to restructuring!

- Say no to restructuring!
- Say no to restructuring!

Hanju Group, cancel the merger!

Ma'am.

- What is she doing?
- What's going on?

Goodness.

Hello, members of
the Hanju Hotel community.

Many of you here...

must remember me from 20 years ago.

Every school vacation,
I would return to Korea...

and wash the dishes
in the hotel kitchen...

and help out at every event
held by the hotel.

I can see
that many of you were there...

when I did the dishes
in the kitchen.

Why would I not
want to keep working with you?

But as you know,

Hanju Hotel is being acquired
by Yumin Hotel.

They insisted on performing
due diligence again...

and are now demanding
a large-scale restructuring.

I really feel terrible about it.

I don't know what to say to you.

Are you saying...

Yumin Hotel is forcing you
to go through restructuring?

It's humiliating to admit,

but that's right.

Yumin Group's Chairman Kang Mi Na
is giving orders...

without even showing up.

What can I possibly do?

Isn't that just an excuse?

You're related to Chairman Kang.

Apparently,

Chairman Kang thinks differently.

I'm really sorry.

I mean... You didn't have to kneel.

This isn't going to change anything,
is it?

- I agree!
- Shouldn't we go to Yumin Group?

- What do you say?
- This isn't going to work.

- Let's go to Yumin Hotel instead!
- Let's go!

- Let's go!
- Let's hurry.

Put that banner away right now!

Put that away!

Hey, hurry up and...

- Cancel the restructuring!
- Cancel the restructuring!

Give up the merger!

What's going on?

[Where is Chairman Kang Mi Na?]

Why are they looking for Kang Mi Na?

Don't look so guilty.

They're asking her
to sit at the negotiation table.

That's a relief.

But why Kang Mi Na?

What do they want?

I'm not sure.

Leave us alone!

They're not even
Yumin Hotel employees.

There might be reporters.

You don't want to be photographed.

Let's keep driving.

They wouldn't stop me
from going in, would they?

You couldn't go to work yesterday.

It'll be bad
if you can't go in today either.

What a dilemma.

Then I'll cover myself up
a little...

so that they won't know
I'm Kang Mi Na.

Okay.

- What do you think?
- You need to cover your face.

What about this? Here.

Good. That works.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Cancel the merger!

- Cancel the merger!
- Cancel the merger!

Cancel the acquisition...

that kills laborers!

- Cancel the acquisition!
- Cancel the acquisition!

Yumin should stay away
from Hanju Hotel...

It's Kang Mi Na!

How did he know?

- What should we do?
- Stop right there.

I didn't want to do this,

but there are
two foolproof methods...

for getting out of
a sticky situation.

Money or a loud voice.

- Will you use money?
- No, my voice.

Fire!

Mr. No! Run!

Darn it.

Chairman Kang.

Why are you running away
like a coward?

Why are you avoiding us?

I'm not hiding on purpose!

I have my reasons.

So do we!

That's not it! No...

I have so much to say.

Gosh.

Darn it.

If you're done washing up,

let's go to Seoul Central DPO.

Looks like you can't make it to work
today either.

Why were Hanju's workers
throwing eggs at me?

Did Hanju send them?

Darn it. It's not like
I can press charges for this.

However...

However what?

They did press charges.

Who did?

What?
He's still at the police station?

Send him to the prosecutor
right this instant!

Darn it. That insolent twerp.

How dare he throw an egg...

at my wife?

I'll make sure he rots in prison
for the rest of his life...

and wishes he were never born!

Why did that jerk
suddenly switch sides?

He's utterly useless.

as*ault cases are investigated
by the police,

so it'll take time
for them to reach a prosecutor.

Hello?

You need to hurry in.

- Why?
- The guy who threw eggs...

at Chairman Kang Mi Na
was arrested for as*ault.

Her husband is pushing hard,

so Deputy Chief wants it resolved
by the end of the day.

You're the only prosecutor
who has room on her docket.

Darn it.

The thing is...

it'll be bad for us too
if she gets hurt.

The most devoted husband
in the world is sitting right here.

It was just a few raw eggs.

You've aligned yourself
with the wrong person.

I don't think it's about
aligning with her.

- What do you mean?
- Think about it.

You practically covered her
in eggs before,

and he didn't bat an eye.

Do you like her for real?

What? No way. That's ridiculous.

I don't like her.

Not at all.

Look at him making a fuss.

They may have a baby soon.

You have to consider Mi Na's age.

And I don't think she wants to.

You already have a grandson.
You have Sun Woo.

Her age?

Hey. The hospital director
ran a bunch of useless tests...

when they took her blood
after the accident,

and he said
her ovaries were way too healthy.

Really?

I was sure...

I'm sterile.

What?

So you don't have to worry.

He won't have any children
as long as he's with me.

What?

Nothing.

Where did you get the guts
to attack a chairman?

[Unified Protest]

You figured conglomerate owners
would have common sense too...

since they're still human like us
even if the world stinks, right?

But conglomerate chairmen
supersede common sense...

and can send you...

to the Central District
Prosecutors' Office in half a day.

Like this.

You hit her square on.

Your curveball was so...

It's tough to grip an egg.

But you smacked her on the forehead.

- Did you play baseball before?
- Yes, in high school.

Listen!

This is criminal as*ault.

As per Section 260
of the Penal Code,

assaulting a person can get you...

up to two years in prison or
up to 5,000 dollars in fines.

How could throwing an egg
cost me 5,000 dollars?

Why you...
Have you been hit by an egg?

It was degrading and humiliating.

What?

Of course,
I've never been hit either.

But a person should be able
to empathize that much.

as*ault is one of those crimes...

that cannot be punished
unless the victim wants it.

If you apologize
to Chairman Kang Mi Na here,

I'll relay the message to her
and put an end to this.

- I refuse.
- Why?

I can't apologize
to someone like her.

What did she do?

She didn't even know
that you were fired.

It wasn't even your company.

Why were you throwing eggs
in front of Yumin's building?

Did someone send you?

Yumin was the one
ordering people around.

I hear they ordered
the reorganization.

What? Says who?

Our senior managing director,
Ms. Han Sung Hye.

Oh my gosh.
You actually believe her?

She even got on her knees
and apologized...

for being unable to take all of us.

She values and loves
all of the employees so much.

Why wouldn't I believe her?

Oh my gosh. What's the big deal
about getting on her knees?

I was kneeling in front of
the toilet all morning yesterday...

because I was hung over.

Do I value and love my toilet?

What kind of...

Anyway, I'm too bitter to apologize.

She partied all her life
and luckily became the owner.

If she tells us to leave,
are we supposed to just obey...

and leave?

I wouldn't do this
if my daughter were healthy.

She has to get dialysis
twice a week...

If I get fired,
we'll lose our health insurance.

That's why I saw red.

To be blunt, aren't the police...

and prosecutors
supposed to help people like us?

How could you come down
so hard on us?

You're so mean.

What is it?

When did I come hard on you?

If anything,
I'd sucker punch a bad guy.

Darn it.

Ma'am!

Darn it.

Did you know that there will be...

a reorganization prior to the merger
with Hanju Hotel?

Yes, I heard.

If they want to fire employees,
they should start...

with the owner and those
with the decision-making authority.

Why only fire workers
who just do what they're told to do?

Is this how the merger will be done?

It's not that simple.

My father used to run Hanju Hotel.

Pushing the merger deal through
and fixing the management issues...

could be more important now...

I didn't want to
overstep my boundaries...

and put my two cents in how
another company should be run,

but this is just wrong.

Do you only care
about getting the hotel back?

You don't care what happens
to the people who work there?

Prosecutors may prioritize
what they think is "right,"

but running a business
is a different story.

Keeping the company afloat
at all costs...

might be a better thing
for Yumin employees.

You're no different
from the Hanju family.

Don't tell me you're in this
just to get Hanju Hotel back.

Is that your goal?

Then how are you different
from Han Sung Hye,

who fires everyone after kneeling
in front of the union members?

It's hard for us to say no
or make specific requests.

What if Hanju colludes
with the prosecution...

to get Kang Mi Na arrested?

Right.

I'm in no position
to make such requests.

Once again, I forgot my place.

Sorry for taking up your time.

You said people threw eggs
at Ms. Cho. Is she all right?

Didn't you say
you were stepping out to see her?

Must you two talk through me
even after meeting up?

She never tells me
when she's not okay.

Well, she's in deep trouble now.

Getting hit by a few eggs
isn't even important now.

The Central District Office
is telling her to bring Kang Mi Na.

If she refuses, they'll transfer her
to the countryside.

On top of that,
Lee Bong Sik is dead now,

so there's no one to prove
that the list is fake.

And she can't even tell you
these things anymore.

Isn't it so strange?

I know that it's not her,

but I keep feeling the same way
I felt when I used to look at her.

You like someone else now.

Why does it have to be
so complicated?

I told you to cut ties
so it'd be easier for you,

but this is awfully inconvenient
for me.

Just follow your heart.

Follow my heart?
Can I really do that?

You're so old-fashioned for someone
who lived in the US for years.

Listen. Even automatic doors
remain closed...

until someone stands
in front of them.

And the compass needle doesn't move
until you start moving around.

You need to make a move
for you to get anywhere.

What do you want to do?

[Chairman Han Young Sik]

You stormed out
as if you'd never see me again.

What brought you here today?

Someone told me you were capable
of ditching Sung Hye...

and joining hands with me.

I thought
you took after your father,

but I see that you have
a cold, discerning side to you.

Yes.

I've realized that
whether or not Sung Hye gets...

the upper hand in the merger
won't affect you at all.

I didn't think you'd do this
to your children as well.

Here's a share transfer agreement.

Ten percent of Yumin Electronics,
which I own.

As you know, Yumin is in a bind
because of the Lee Bong Sik's list.

I'm sure
you can help us out a little.

Also,

I have one small request to make
regarding the merger.

You're okay with that, right?

This is great.

Then I have a condition too.

Don't summon Kang Mi Na?

[Ryu Seung Duk]

What is this?

Why this sudden change?
What is going on?

Isn't it what you wanted?

What is the reason though?

I'm sure you know the reason.

Pardon?

I saw you
getting in Hanju Group's car.

You're never in your office
these days.

With all the odd things going on,
I knew something was up.

An Yu Jun brought this to me.

Should I tell you why
the two of you...

can't get Chairman Kang Mi Na?

It's because...

you...

received a car from Hanju.

I can't believe
you already got yourself a backer.

What kind of deal
did you strike with Hanju?

Did they contact you directly?

Then you should've told me!

Yeon Ju, I am a prosecutor too
after all.

If you accept things like this
without even telling me,

I have no choice
but to turn into a thug!

Chief.

Yes! I am the chief prosecutor
at the Central District Office.

I've made it this far...

because I'm this insightful
and perceptive.

I'm worried about you.

You're awfully imperceptive.

How are you going to survive
in this cutthroat organization?

Then what about that car?

Stop falsely accusing me.

Have you never accepted an offer
for a ride...

during your entire career
as a prosecutor?

Why are you suddenly acting like
someone with pristine integrity?

This is so unlike you.

Goodness.

Thank goodness
he doesn't have good instincts.

That was a close one.

By the way,
what's with Hanju all of a sudden?

[Prosecutor Cho Yeon Ju]

Earlier today,
Hanju Hotel and Yumin Hotel...

entered into a merger agreement.

The joint corporation will operate
under the name of Hanju Hotel.

Managing Director Han Sung Hye...

and Han Sung Woon,
the younger son...

of the chairman, Han Young Sik,

who wasn't part
of the management team in the past,

have been appointed co-CEOs
of this joint corporation.

It is expected that
the two of them...

will now start competing
over the company...

He sure chose his side wisely.

Mom, you didn't know either?

Hey, what did I say
to Sung Woon earlier?

Do you think he was offended?

You didn't say much earlier.

But you're usually so mean to him.

I'm sure he was offended every day.

I can't believe this.

What's going to happen
to Sun Woo now?

Hey, stop making so much fuss
over nothing.

It's not like he has inherited
the entire company.

He's just the co-CEO of the hotel.
That's all.

Let's go.

- Mom!
- Mother!

Both hotels have stated that...

they will not be going through
restructuring...

and have denied the rumors
about large-scale layoffs.

There were no specific conditions...

other than making sure that...

all of the employees
could be retained.

Those whose tasks overlap
will be sent...

to our new business team.

This was strongly requested
by Ms. Han Sung Hye.

I'd like to express my respect
and gratitude...

to Ms. Han Sung Hye
for making sure...

that every employee
could be retained.

You changed the terms and conditions
of the merger...

without even telling me.

And what's the deal with Sung Woon?

Well, Seung Wook offered
to hand over...

ten percent of his Yumin shares.

It means
we'll obtain those shares...

while also reducing
Seung Wook's power in the company,

so the board won't object to it.

Well, I think what we're gaining
in this deal is bigger...

than what we had initially expected,
so just sign it.

But why would he...

do all this?

For Mi Na?

That's none of our business.

Everyone's competing
to gain more shares,

so we have nothing to lose.

And if he's doing this
because of his personal feelings,

we should welcome it with open arms.

Besides, I can appoint
whoever I want to run my subsidiary.

Why are you so angry?

Why are you acting
like you own Hanju?

What kind of deal
did Mr. Han cut with them?

The summons is canceled,

and even those people
from the union are gone now.

Why don't you ask him?

But what's this?

"Stock transfer approval request?"

Why are the stocks being
transferred to Hanju?

[Transferor: Han Seung Wook]

It seems like Mr. Han is
transferring his stocks to Hanju.

The board approved it immediately...

and is requesting your approval.

Where is he now?

He must be announcing the merger.

Is it over?

When my father was establishing
Hanju Hotel,

he would take me with him
when he went to look for sites.

So I feel a special attachment
to the hotel.

My father would often quote...

an American human rights activist.

"Walls turned sideways are bridges."

"Walls turned sideways are bridges."

The wall between Yuman and Hanju...

is now turned sideways
to become a bridge.

The ceremony should be over
by now, right?

There's usually a celebration
afterward.

He might still be at the hotel.

Thank you.

[Hanju Hotel and Resort
Makes a Fresh Start]

Let's hear from the CEO
of Hanju Hotel...

about their new start.

I'm the CEO of Hanju Hotel,

Han Sung Woon.

To keep up with the new trend,

Hanju Hotel will strive
to stay young.

And I'll be leading that change.

Did you hand over your stocks
to Hanju?

Why? That's such a shame.

You said you couldn't do anything...

because you didn't know
how I was feeling. So why?

Do you remember that?

I won't leave because I'm told,
or let people take things from me.

That is why I came to Korea.

Whose daughter you are,
whom you resemble,

who likes you...

None of that matters to me.

I'm going to go for what I want
and do what I want to do.

I won't let anyone
take from me again.

Hey!

How could you break into my place
and kiss me?

You kissed me!

That was my first kiss.

Gosh, I can't believe you.

Without me,

you would've spent the night
in the hallway.

Sober up, will you?

My first kiss...

Is there water in the fridge?

Goodness.

After working my tail off...

to reveal the chief's corruption...

The Hanju family ruined everything!

I don't know what to do with them!

Do you find this amusing, woman?

Do you?

Let's see how much longer
you can enjoy this, woman.

You've completely lost your mind.

I'll tell everyone!

I'll reveal your dirt
to the whole world.

I know everything!

Do you know who I really am?

I'm not Kang Mi Na.

I'm Cho...

Cho...

- Stop.
- What are you doing?

I'm the queen of Joseon!

How dare you call me
and throw a drunken tantrum?

Darn it. The call got cut off.

Why wouldn't you let me talk?

Look.

I've messed up in so many ways,

but do you know the worst part?

Until now,
I could tell you anything.

But I can no longer do that.

Why?

Because I like you.

And...

Kang Myung Guk, that jerk,

made your father die.

So why won't you let me talk?

That's why I can't help but drink.

[Fresh Milk]

Why do you get milk delivered...

if you don't drink it?

There was a pile of milk
in the hallway the other day.

Gosh.

I drink it.

Every now and then
when I need to calm down.

Milk isn't a tranquilizer
or anything.

Here. Drink it.

When my father was
looking for sites...

to build Hanju Hotel on,

he would often take me with him.

And there's something
he told me many times.

It's something
a human rights activist once said.

"Walls turned sideways are bridges."

When a wall falls,

you just have to walk over it.

Then you'll find another way.

I still feel the same way,

but I don't know how you feel.

So I can't comfort you...

or get closer to you.

There's nothing I can do.

I'll be going.

Good night.

I may have heard
something important just now.

What about that quote?

Someone told me
the exact same thing 14 years ago.

Do you want this?

There's something
my father often said.

A human rights activist
once said it.

"Walls turned sideways are bridges."

Tomorrow morning, my father might
turn out to be someone...

completely different from the person
I've thought him to be.

To me,

my father has always been
a wall I can lean against.

But things will change now.

Still,

I believe he will be a bridge for me
in one way or another.

A bridge...

that leads me into a new world.

I thought...

I could never tell anyone this
because it was too cringey.

Please forget I said that.

Thanks...

for today.

That person was you, right?

That wasn't Mi Na,

but you?

It was me.

That day,

I lost my grandma,
who I had relied on all my life.

Before she passed away,
she told me...

she didn't want her death
to stop me from doing things.

Back then, I didn't even understand
what she meant.

But when you told me that,

I decided...

to move on to another world
through my grandma.

That's why I never forgot that.

Maybe your words were
what got me this far.

Everything makes sense now.

The Mi Na I liked...

was the person
I talked to that night.

But I'm not...

that Kang Mi Na anymore.

Who I am,

whose daughter I am...

Are you sure
none of that matters to you?

I'm not that boy anymore either.

When you get to really know someone,

the person often turns out to be
different from what you imagined.

Also,

that's when...

true love begins.

[There will be an epilogue shortly.]

[Epilogue]

It's important to review
medical certificates thoroughly.

In many cases, they're viewed
as as*ault rather than injury.

By the way, Yu Jun,
have I ever mentioned this?

It's important to review
medical certificates thoroughly.

In many cases, they're viewed
as as*ault rather than injury.

- Yu Jun.
- Yes?

Did you know this?

It's important to review
medical certificates thoroughly.

In many cases, they're viewed
as as*ault rather than injury.

- I get it.
- Listen up. Did I tell you this?

It's important to review
medical certificates thoroughly.

Yu Jun.

Yeon Ju misses you so much...

that her heart is fluttering.

Yeon Ju likes you so much.

Can you come and see Yeon Ju right now?

Can you?

Can you, please?

Ouch.

Is she still talking?

I feel so sorry for the flounder.

How could you...

so heartlessly cut off
the fish heads?

That must hurt so much.

You're evil.

You guys are evil!

You're so mean

You're the worst

Cutting off the fish heads
so heartlessly

Flounder!

Cho Yeon Ju!

Hey, do you call yourself the chief?

- Do you really deserve to?
- Hey!

You the conglomerates' minion.

You sly dog. Just you wait.

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who I really am?

Hey! Are you out of your mind?
I'm your boss!

Hello? Did she just hang up on me?

This is unbelievable.

Did my subordinate just swear at me?

But who did she say she was?

Chairman Kang Mi Na of Hanju Group?

Why is she Chairman Kang Mi Na?

[One the Woman]

Like I said, when you're in love,

you're not disappointed easily.
Let's see where this goes.

Rumors are going around
in the financial world...

that you're fake.

I want you to do a paternity test
publicly.

You and I are in the same boat now,
Father.

Let's share our connections
in the prosecution.

Chief!

Darn it. Couldn't you knock?

I thought she was talking nonsense
because she was drunk.

Do you remember the drug I gave you?

You think Sung Chan is the only one
who'd end up like that?

No matter what you do
and who you are,

I'm never going to divorce you.

I know you're not Kang Mi Na.
