Good afternoon, Miss.
[Hye-seung] Hello.
Wait, what is this all about?
Well, we're here on behalf
of the Southern District Court.
We have an order to start seizing
your property. Please excuse me.
To start seizing?

Could you at least just leave me the car?
Thank you for cooperating.

JIN YOO-HUI
[Nam-sik] What else do I do?
Everyone coming in today
is an executive.
This is my chance to meet everyone.
I don't think I can skip it.
And so? You couldn't have scheduled
a match when it wasn't your birthday?
Even when it's the president
who asks to play with you?
Well, anyway,
I'll be back as soon as I can.
All right, then. Go.
I'm sorry.
[theme music playing]
[thud echoes]
[Hye-seung] I thought my life was over.
I thought it was the end of everything.

- [man 1] Hey.
- Hey, Dimi.
- When are you coming to the States?
- I'll check my schedule. I'll contact you.
Why? What's there for you?
Mmm, just to buy a yacht, of course.
Dimi says he's found a really nice one.
- [man 2 chuckles]
- How about you guys?
Are you coming together?
One is plenty.
Hey, Dimitri, he likes cars
with little horses more than yachts.
- Oh, you mean Ferrari?
- Yeah!
- Who doesn't love it?
- [chuckles]
- [woman] Hey.
- [Dimitri] Hey.
- [woman] Let's get drunk! Come on!
- Yeah. See you guys.
Yo! Yo, Dimi, are you crazy?
You really need
to stop working out so much, yeah?
Wow.
[chuckles]
What's the play for tomorrow?
Are you going?
- I'm definitely going with Ho-chan, yeah.
- To where?
- Rex.
- Rex.
Where is Rex?
"A" is what we want to describe,
"B" is the object we use
to depict the initial subject
by comparing similarities.
Oh, we'll stop here for today.
All right, Class Sky.
Let's do our class cheer, okay?
[all] We are Sky!
Hear us roar, shout Sky!
Good job. Pack up.
- What should we get to eat?
- Want to get some tteokbokki?
Hey, no phones!
- I'm sorry.
- Bye.
[woman] I could hear your class
all the way from my office.
You've only been here for a year,
but everyone already seems
to love you, Ms. Seo.
Hardly.
- [door shuts]
- [cell phone vibrates]
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW MEMBERSHIP!
- REX
Rex?
[upbeat music playing]
[engine roars]
Why are you driving so fast, huh?
It wasn't that fast.
- You have the invite?
- Of course.
Hey! Here's our invite.
Here you are.
[upbeat music playing]
[audience applauding]
That's Baek Jae-hui!
- Oh yeah.
- The news anchor, right?
[man 2] Better looking in person.
[Jae-hui] Good evening, everyone.
A special welcome to our supercar owners.
My name is Baek Jae-hui,
and I'm your host for tonight.
[all applauding]
We want to try something
very special this year.
Tonight we offer you the chance
to try a drop of heaven.
Romanée-Conti.
We have prepared a taste testing
of the 2013 vintage for you all.
Now, let me introduce tonight's star.
Rex's leader, our CEO,
welcome Ms. Choi Yoo-sun.
[all applauding]
Good evening.
I am Choi Yoo-sun.
It is truly my honor
to host the very elite of South Korea,
our leaders in culture, economy,
and nearly every aspect
of our modern-day society
as well as those living in luxury.
Today's event has been specially prepared
with you in mind.
I hope you all enjoy,
and I wish everyone
a wonderful time tonight.
Thank you so much.
[all applauding]
[upbeat music playing]
Oh yeah.
You were a Harvard graduate
and then went on to Goldman Sachs.
I guess I should immediately find
a beautiful bride for you.
[chuckles]
You know, he just opened
his third plastic surgery clinic.
And he's back on the market.
[chuckles]
- Well, congratulations.
- Thank you very much.
Ms. Choi,
I just opened my own dermatology clinic.
Come by any time.
- Wow, Ms. Choi is something special.
- Meaning what?
You know the marriage between
the Cheongbo Group and the NK mall?
- [man 3] Mmm.
- I see that you find
[man 2] They say she made that happen.
- I know this means a lot.
- [man 3] No way.
It's true. She's the biggest
player in arranging marriages and careers.
- She's coming.
- Oh okay. [clears throat]
You said that you were going
to bring your friend tonight.
Any chance of them joining us?
Ah, Hyung-ju. He won't remarry.
Even when they say that,
they usually enjoy themselves, don't they?
[all chuckle]
And you are?
[man 2] Uh, yes.
Mr. Choi Sung-jae, the CEO of Lionsoft.
We all went to college together.
- A pleasure.
- It's lovely to meet you.
He's no longer single.
- He's useless to you, Ms. Choi.
- [Sung-jae] I'm sorry,
but I am currently married.
I'll be sure to contact you
if things don't work out.
Please, don't. I really do hope
that you have a happy marriage.
I'm sorry, but could you possibly
introduce me to Baek Jae-hui?
[man 2 clears throat]
[Yoo-sun] Could you reach out to me
after the event?
[man 3] I will absolutely
give you a call. [chuckles]
- Oh!
- [Sung-jae] Oh my God! [chuckles]
All righty, I think this event
was more successful than last year's.
Would you at least consider
finally putting out a press release?
You know that would be useless.
These people don't like to be exposed.
But we receive so many new guests.
And many were even A-list celebrities.
The better the product,
the more cautious
and confidential we have to be.
- Don't you see?
- Yes, of course.
Good evening, Ms. Choi.
My name is Jin Yoo-hui.
HYEONGANG
JIN YOO-HUI
I am actually a Rex member.
- So you're a lawyer, Ms. Jin?
- Yes.
If you ever need help,
please don't hesitate to ever reach out.
- I will try to help as much as I can.
- I really appreciate that.
I look forward
to working with you, Ms. Choi.
Well
[car alarm beeps]
Min-ji.
Oh.
- Uh
- Hey, dinner?
I ate. What's Min-ji doing?
- Oh, she was tired. She's in bed.
- Oh, okay.
What's that?
[sighs]
I was wondering if this was you.
How much longer are you
going to live like this, huh?
Try to get a new start
before your birthday.
Before you turn gray.
Oh, Mom, do you really think
that I should be looking right now?
Come on, this was expensive.
Stop making up excuses
and schedule a consultation.
[sighs] How much did you pay?
[sighs]
That's insane! Ten million won
is a massive amount of money.
Seriously, when is anything free?
If you want to marry a rich man,
then you need to at least invest that.
- [sighs]
- And also, that was quite the bargain.
They also had a membership
for 200-million-won.
- How did you get the money?
- Goodnight.
- [grunts, gasps] Ah, ah.
- [Hye-seung] Did you sell your ring?
It was annoying.
It kept getting in the way while I cooked.
How could you sell that ring?
It was from Dad.
- Go back and buy it now.
- [sighs]
No, because even if I sell everything,
I will regret nothing
if it makes your life a little better.
[sighs] Hey, Mom!
- [door shuts]
- [electronic beeping]
Hey, Yeong-seo.
Hey, Hye-seung. Are you okay?
I wanted to check in
after what happened with Min-ji.
Huh?
What's wrong?
You didn't hear?
So-eun has just told me that some kids
Min-ji overheard them talking about her
while walking by.
- About her father?
- Yeah.
Min-ji got mad and apparently,
she started fighting with them.
People just can't let it go.
It's like every time
you're about to forget about it
[sighs]
Sorry. I'll call you back.
- [phone line ends]
- [sighs]
Did you get into a fight at school?
What if you were to transfer?
We can go where nobody knows us.
No way.
How much longer are you going
to tolerate their bullying?
It's whatever. I'm staying.
Who are the bullies?
I'll talk to their parents.
Please don't.
They're really not worth the trouble, Mom.
They're just a bunch of losers
that only bully me
because they're jealous of me.
If you try to get involved,
it will only make things worse.
Why don't we take it easy today?
I really need to study,
so that we can live how we used to.
[sighs] I'm going to Hankuk, okay?
I'll show them
that I'm better than all of them.
[paper crinkles]
[sighs]
[Nam-sik] Let's get a divorce.
[emotional music playing]
[drink pouring]
[breathing heavily]
[exhales]
[music ends]
What? Can you repeat that?
Let's get divorced.
Have you been drinking?
That's not even funny to joke about.
[typing]
I'm sorry.
[sighs]
I've been so
Is there another woman?
[dramatic music playing]
[whimpers, sighs]
I'm sorry. I really am a bastard.
- You don't get to quit.
- Honey
- [scoffs]
- It's not easy for me either.
I've thought about this for a while.
Shut up, will you?
Min-ji will hear. [scoffs]
[sighs]
What did I do to you
that was so wrong? [whimpers]
Min-ji's the smartest kid in her school,
and you've been promoted
to executive director.
I made sure the house was clean.
And I even made sure
to take care of your mother too.
For these past 15 years,
the only thing I've ever done for me
was attending graduate school.
[gasps] All you have ever done
was focus on your own work.
Why are you doing this to me?
[sobbing]
You're right. I know.
You're a good wife,
and I'm very grateful for that.
But I can't change how my heart feels.
I don't get it either.
Min-ji deserves this too?
Abandoning your daughter?
Min-ji will always have
the care she needs from me.
[sobbing]
Please, no.
No!
[Hye-seung continues sobbing]
TEAM LEADER
JIN YOO-HUI
EXI
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO EXIT?
CONFIRM
[Nam-sik groans]
[sighs] What are you doing?
Destroying evidence.
[chuckles]
Oh, funny.
Very funny. [clears throat]
MOVE THIS CONVERSATION TO THE TRASH?
How have you been?
You can go home now.
I'll do whatever you want.
[inhales]
You were absolutely right.
Life is too short for this.
I don't like it either,
but I hate that your heart
will always be somewhere else
while you're with me.
Go.
We can get divorced.
INCOMING CALL
MR. KANG NAM-SIK
[phone vibrating]
[sighs]
[phone continues vibrating]
MISSED CALL
[phone vibrates]
[Nam-sik] I need to talk to you.
- Why are you avoiding me?
- I've been a little too busy with work.
Why, huh? What is it?
About the money.
I'm gonna cut my losses with this dog,
so take the money out for me.
Didn't you say it dropped 30 percent?
Should be about 500-million-won.
It's not there right now.
- What are you saying?
- Something urgent came up, so I used it.
No, you can't be serious.
That money was for my alimony.
I need you to give me that money
so that I can divorce my wife.
So don't get a divorce.
[dramatic sting]
- What?
- I said, don't get a divorce
Why are you acting like this?
You didn't know it's illegal
to use someone else's bank account?
You're the one that told me to do that.
You said it was safer.
[scoffs] So you did it anyways?
You shouldn't have been so greedy.
Why are you doing this to me?
Why did you tell me to divorce
if you're gonna act this way?
Says who?
Never did I ask you to get a divorce.
As for the money,
it's all under my name,
so it belongs to me.
[door shuts]
[breathes shakily]
[cell phone vibrates]
I'LL GO HOME WHEN I'M DONE
WE NEED TO TALK SOME MORE
[woman] Yoo-hui? Yoo-hui?
So apparently,
the audit teams want to talk to us.
The audit team? Why?
Did you say embezzlement?
What are you talking about?
When you were overseeing the acquisition
process of TX engineering,
did their CEO give you one billion won
in exchange for favorable terms
in the merger?
That is a lie. Who'd ever accuse me
of something so risky?
Ms. Jin Yoo-hui
has given us her testimony.
Ms. Jin Yoo-hui?
That one billion won
It went straight to Ms. Jin Yoo-hui
for arranging favorable terms
for the merger.
You're accusing me
when you've only heard her side?
To be frank, why didn't you do anything
if you knew about it?
The president of TX engineering,
Choi Myeong-woo, has already confessed.
He says that he gave you
one billion won in cash.
President Choi.
[chuckles] President Choi
[suspenseful music playing]
Nonsense.
That [sighs]
That is all a lie.
I can go grab the books to prove to you.
There's also a lot of stocks
that you bought under Ms. Jin's name.
I hear that's yours too.
Where did that money come from?
It belongs to my mother and me.
My mother was trusting me to keep it safe.
Then why did you buy it
under Ms. Jin's name?
[exhales]
[sighs]
I'll be honest with you.
I discovered that Ms. Jin Yoo-hui
had received the bribe,
but only after the merger was finalized.
So, when I questioned her about it,
she told me
that she urgently needed the money.
Ms. Jin doesn't quite remember it
that way.
TEAM LEADER JIN RECORDING
[Yoo-hui] That night,
I remember getting drinks with Mr. Kang.
[breathes shakily]
And then the next thing
is me waking up in a hotel room.
And all my clothes were taken off. [sobs]
I was raped.
After, he kept threatening me,
using that night as blackmail.
I was mortified,
but I had to do what he told me
if I wanted to keep my job.
Since the existence
of illegal activity is confirmed,
we have to reach out to the prosecutors.
The Personnel Committee
will reach a decision
once the investigation is over.
Jin Yoo-hui!
You have to talk to me.
- I have nothing to say to you.
- What? Sexual assault? Blackmail?
When did I ever do that?
You were the one who started the affair!
You came on to me!
Where are you going?
Jin Yoo-hui, where are you going?
Jin Yoo-hui! Why are you doing this?
Is this a game to you? Is that it?
Say something. Say something!
[breathing heavily]
DIVORCE REGISTRATION
[sighs]
- [cell phone vibrating]
- [sniffles]
Hello, welcome.
[gentle music playing]
[sighs]
Why did you call me here?
Can you please control
your husband a little better?
I'm sorry, what?
Your husband, he..
tried abusing his position at work
to blackmail me.
And now he won't stop asking me every day
to marry him.
Would you please tell your husband
to quit bothering me?
God, do you have any idea
how much it hurts me?
I thought that you two were in love.
Love?
[inhales] You call that love?
Listen, your husband
is a disgusting rapist.
[emotional music playing]
[Hye-seung] I had no idea
that you could do something so terrible.
How could you do that to her?
Are you even human?
I swear.
It's only lies.
I
Why don't you believe I'm innocent?
Wha Why is my own wife

INCOMING CALL
NAM-SIK
[cell phone vibrating]
[breathes shakily]
[cell phone vibrating]
[sighs]
- Yes?
- [man] Hello?
Am I speaking to Mr. Kang Nam-sik?
[sighs] Yes, that's me.
This is the Gangnam Police Station.
A complaint has been filed against you
for sexual assault.
You're required to report
to the station tomorrow for questioning.
Mr. Kang
- [line ends]
- [dramatic sting]
- [chuckles]
- [Nam-sik] I'm going to sue.
Mr. Kang.
You have no way to prove she is lying.
She's saying she was raped.
All of our text messages
and phone calls we've had.
We could recover those.
And if she says she was coerced,
what'll you do then?
Let's not make this
a bigger deal than it is.
Listen, I'll find a place for you to go.
Let's take care of this quietly.
Since the existence of illegal activity
is confirmed,
we have to reach out to the prosecutors.
[sighs deeply]
[dramatic sting]
Tell me,
were you sleeping with Mr. Kang as well?
Don't accuse me when he was the one
who was harassing me.
Why don't you
find him guilty already and fire him?
Damn, he really was great.
Why did you have to ask me
to get married to you?

Hey, it's me.
[sniffles] I'm sorry.
Honestly
I'm so sorry.
[emotional music playing]
Jin Yoo-hui has tricked me
into covering up her tracks.
She used me.
And now it looks like I did it.
[sniffles]
[sobs] I really lost everything.
My whole career
the house
[sobs] And you as well.
[sobbing]
I was so stupid to get scammed
by someone like her.
- [sighs]
- [Nam-sik whimpers]
Why are you crying?
You were so happy when you first left me.
[inhales]
I really
do feel so guilty.
[inhales]
I really am very sorry for both
you and Min-ji.
[sniffles] Please take care.
Thank you for everything, Hye-seung.

SEOUL 119
[sighs deeply]
[upbeat music playing]
How do you feel?
Yeah, this is pretty incredible.
Let's begin the open beta for today.
What? Without doing any closed testing?
Do you want everyone to see the bugs
that are still in it?
But that just means we can fix it faster.
If not,
can you actually finish it on time?
If anything goes wrong, the whole thing
might just die in beta testing.
Global embarrassment means
we won't even be able to launch the game.
Can you really have
that little confidence?
You're supposed to be
the head of development.
- Aw, come on, boss!
- Mouthing off again. Let's fire him.
- You can't be serious, Mr. Lee.
- Do it. I'm positive.
Do I bet on things that I'm not sure of?
If anyone's opposed, they can resign now.
I'll personally sign it.
YUN JAE-YEONG
(68 YEARS OLD)
HAN SANG-CHEOL
(56 YEARS OLD)
KIM JEONG-SEOK
(65 YEARS OLD)
So what do you think?
These are the youngest members
that we currently have
at our Black Level tier.
[woman] Yoo-hui.
Don't look,
but I think that's Lee Hyung-ju.
He's the CEO of Hibull.
One of the highest grossing companies
in the world.
Do you have anyone like this?
Uh
Really attractive, also young-looking,
a 40-year-old divorcée.
A tech entrepreneur who owns
one of the highest grossing companies.
There are no members like that
at our company at all.
Is that so?
May I ask why you're interested
in divorce members?
Someone like yourself
wouldn't have any problem
finding a wealthy bachelor.
I can find a man like that on my own
without your assistance.
Why would I need Rex for that?
I want the highest Black Level member.
[chuckles]
My family can be
a little tricky sometimes.
From what I have heard,
you've arranged nearly half
of the top 100 business marriages.
I even heard that some company presidents
entrust their grandchildren's marriages
to you. Is that true?
I must apologize,
but that is confidential.
I cannot discuss it further with you.
[exhales]
CERTIFICATE OF EMPLOYMEN
[gentle piano music playing]
You know, it's pretty difficult
to be an instructor these days.
Honestly, you really need
to have something like this
for the board to offer you
an adjunct position.
Who else could actually help you, Ms. Seo?
I'm the only one
who can help you with this.
Thank you so much, Professor. [chuckles]
[professor exhales]
Oh, that's good, that's good.
Here, drink up.
[exhales] Oh.
[sucks teeth] Oh, that is strong.
[both chuckle]
[clears throat]
[exhales]
[clears throat]
[exhales]
[exhales]
It is so nice to speak to someone
who is a bit older.
Kids these days I have no idea
what's going on in their head. [chuckles]
Do you understand me, Ms. Seo?
Shall we go?
I'm not gonna do that.
Only when I become an associate.
Do I really need to tell you again?
I don't care if they're divorced.
They only need to be
from a well-known family.
That's all I want from you.
Yes. Black Level.
[sighs]
[sniffles, exhales]
[sighs]
So.
Let's say hello to each other.
Here before us, our global scholar
from Stanford University,
Professor Cha Seok-jin.
- Class of 2000 and our own hidden gem.
- [Seok-jin chuckles]
Professor
And over here
is Professor Jung Mi-jin. [chuckles]
It's nice to meet you. I'm Jung Mi-jin.
I'm Cha Seok-jin.
You're still not married?
Or are you divorced?
Honestly, I never really wanted
to get married. [chuckles]
- [man] For real?
- [men chuckle]
Eh, then maybe you two
could work something out.
- [chuckles]
- Just like that?
Here. Let's all have a drink
- Here.
- Here.
To Jung Mi-jin and Cha Seok-jin!
[together] Cheers! [chuckles]
[chuckles] It was nice to
[man exhales]
[Seok-jin] Hye-seung.
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
Have you been well?
- Mm-hmm.
- So why are you here?
[inhales] I came to meet
the head of the department.
I was told
that you actually had gotten married.
Oh.
I need to get going.
Wait a second.
Here you go.
HANKUK UNIVERSITY
PROF. CHA SEOK-JIN
If you ever need anything.
Whatever it is.
Hmm.
[Seok-jin clears throat]
- [sighs]
- [professor] Wait, Ms. Seo.
Thank you for dinner this evening.
If anything opens up, I will contact you.
- Yes, sir.
- And, Ms. Seo,
you should also know that
you're not going to be this young forever.
See you.
[gentle music playing]
[Seok-jin] Hye-seung.
Hye-seung, hold on.
MARRIAGE AGENCY
RECOMMENDED BY OUR CUSTOMERS
Mother, do you really think
you could make me do this?
I'm just trying to make it very clear
to your ex-wife.
She is an embarrassment to me too.
[sighs deeply]
I'm not gonna rush my next marriage
because of her.
You know I'm getting sick and tired
of dealing with women.
So?
You're going to keep living on your own?
Jun-ho is still very young.
At his age, he still needs
a mother's affection. Don't you see that?
Ms. Choi Yoo-sun
will reach out to you soon.
Please, can you just meet with her?
I'm begging you, son.
- [knocks on door]
- [door opens]
Hey, how's the studying going?
Don't know.
Hmm.
Jun-ho
do you want to play a game?
For real?
- [video games whooshing]
- [controllers clicking]
I don't need a sibling.
- What?
- I'm just saying I don't need a sibling.
Who who mentioned that?
Why is it that this game only lags
for me, huh?
[suspenseful music playing]
The chairman had asked me to take it out.
Okay.
[door opens]
Mmm.
You just decided to put up that picture?
Uh-huh.
Seeing that I had the urge
to see my child,
it must be almost my time to die.
[chuckles]
[inhales]
[music crescendos]
[exhales]
[upbeat music playing]
[doorbell rings]
[woman] They shouldn't be divorced.
They shouldn't be too educated
or too invested in their career.
Nor a celebrity.
You know, someone who has graduated
from a good college.
A nice young lady
who can take good care
of both him and my grandchild.
It's very nice to meet you. Come in.
[gentle opera music playing]
- Please sit.
- Thanks.
The view here is amazing.
[inhales] That is why I come here
whenever I want to work alone in silence.
Of course, I usually just play games.
My mother usually does not act like this,
but she's been giving me
a hard time nowadays.
Well, that's only
because she really worries about you.
That being said, my opinions
are very different than my mother's.
I don't want to rush into anything,
especially because I'm so busy with work.
In my opinion, the CEO makes up
about half of any business, you know?
And that marriage is essential
to strengthen the CEO's position
within the company.
So you think that being an unmarried CEO
has a negative impact on the business?
There's a lot of people
that choose to never remarry
and are fine on their own.
A company is a system.
Yes, that's correct.
That's why everyone is terrified
that the CEO will bring down the system.
Marriage is a strategy that gives everyone
a sense of trust and security.
Globally, most successful people
are in very strong and stable marriages.
[inhales]
- This isn't very convincing.
- Is that so?
So what do you think of this then?
Why don't you see it as a marriage
that makes up for your divorce?
[dramatic music playing]
If I'm being honest with you,
what would people even begin to think
when someone like yourself gets divorced?
Wouldn't they immediately go
and put the blame solely on your wife?
[sighs]
- You can stop now.
- Now is the time to show them.
To show these people
who recklessly run their mouths.
But also to show the world
just how capable of a man you are.
I'm really sorry,
but I don't trust any women.
You can recover your shattered pride
by having a brilliant wife
you can proudly show off
to the entire world.
You have quite
the interesting business, Ms. Choi.
What do you think love is
between a man and a woman?
I don't think that innocent love exists.
Love is a business affair
that is realized between two people
by favoring profit over desire.
People always end up choosing
their own ambitions
all while believing that it is true love.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
LEE HYUNG-JU
[Yoo-sun] We just received
a super Black Level member.
They have priority over all levels.
He attended KAIST for graduate studies,
he's an only child
with two trillion won in assets.
He's the CEO of the gaming company Hibull,
Mr. Lee Hyung-ju.
[dramatic sting]
What is he looking for in a woman?
The exact opposite
of what his mother wants for him.
Someone in their early 30s.
Whether it's a first marriage or not
is not important at all.
I think what he wants
is to find someone
that is easy to talk to and full of love.
Okay, then. I'll start a list
of everyone available that matches
regardless of their level.
[Yoo-sun] He is not very enthusiastic
about remarrying.
So it is important that we present him
an attractive candidate
to ensure that this marriage
will be a true success.
Good day. Do you have an appointment?
[Hye-seung] I don't.
I just want to get a refund.
My mother registered me
without my permission.
Ah, she consulted directly
with our executive director.
If you wait a moment, I can let you know
when her current consultation is done.
[scoffs]
Okay, I like this a lot.
I want to be introduced.
Did you have any idea
that he would attend?
[Ho-chan] Hey, Hyung-ju.
Rex?
What can I do? Your mother asked about it.
Why? Did she register?
That's really good.
It's 100 times better
than being alone, man.
Just be honest, aren't you lonely?
That's impossible. How could I have known?
Just make sure to make me look
as nice as possible, please.
There are a lot of great candidates.
So we can't guarantee
that it will work out for sure.
That is why
I'm asking you like this.
[dramatic sting]
[chuckles]
[lounge music playing faintly]
We will try to do our best to help.
- Thank you. I'm counting on you.
- Of course.
All right, then.
[footsteps approaching]
Ms. Choi.
Have you been well?
Ah. Ms. Jin Yoo-hui, right?
[gentle, dramatic music playing]
[gasps]
[Hye-seung] I felt my life was over.
I thought it was the end of everything.
However,
this was only the beginning
with that woman.
[dramatic music continues]
