What will you do now?
We'll manage.
Oh, dear.
Poor thing.
It's so sad.
You'll have to go on.
Can I help you?
It's you, isn't it?
Hyeon Woo's parents' restaurant.
You bought the building it's in.
You heard the news?
I don't think the family is ready
to take visitors yet.
What happened?
Was it a heart attack again?
It wasn't an illness.
I heard Hyeon Woo's mom took her own life.
What would make
a mother of two do that?
The poor, tortured woman.
Hey.
Young man.
The mother I know
would never do that.
What on earth
happened in that time?

Mom!
Mom!
I'm freezing. Mom.
Your son's home!
Mom!
Gosh, it's cold.
It's cold, isn't it? Are you hungry?
I'm starving!
What do you want?
Kimchi gukbap.
Kimchi gukbap?
Why do we have bean sprouts again?
I'll make some gukbap with bean sprouts.
Okay. Where's Dad?
How would I know?
Why does your expression change
whenever I ask about Dad?
- It's not what you think.
- Seriously
Let me help you, Mother.
I can finish it on my own in no time.
I know what to do. You pinch off the tail.
Snap. Like that.
Mom. I talked to my homeroom teacher today.
He kept asking which university
I'd apply to.
So I said I'd apply.
He wouldn't stop bugging me.
And I blurted out
that I'd go to university.
You should.
Go inside and study.
I'll bring you the gukbap when it's ready.
Okay.
I'll pay it all back.
I know Dad's company is struggling.
And that you're selling the restaurant
to cover the rent and your hospital bills.
(Secheon Middle School)
You're being too cheeky.
I'll take care of it.
I'll make lots of money after university
and pay it all back.
I'll make lots of money,
and this restaurant too
Yes. Make lots of money.
Make lots of money
so that you don't have to
feel sorry for your kids.
Make lots so you can
spoil your kids.

"Soonyang Life Science."
My mother's equity account
is the only clue
I have right now.
It was unusual.
We couldn't afford to invest.
Mother had never dreamed
of making a fortune,
so to think she'd gone into debt?
That was even more unusual.
The shares she'd put it all into was
Soonyang Life Science.
But why?
Why Soonyang Life Science
that ended up being liquidated?
Hey, you!
What's going on?
You should've called
after blowing me off that day.
Do you know how worried I was?
Had something happened at home
or were you dreadfully sick?
But you'd been coming here?
Yes. I gave you my number.
I waited for you every day
at the café I worked at,
and I went crazy and asked you out.
But so what?
That doesn't mean you can look down on me.
Did you hear that?
Why do that in the library?
- It's so noisy.
- What a nuisance.
Unbelievable.
Is she not embarrassed at all?
She confessed her love in the library?
I know.
She must be so embarrassed.
What was she thinking? I'd love to know.
Isn't this her?
About that day.
I'm sorry.
My bad.
Min Yeong.
I don't look down on you.
I don't deserve you.
Soonyang Life Science's future
was becoming increasingly bleaker,
so it was a pointless subsidiary.
(Post-IMF articles)
But after the financial crisis,
the media brought it up.
Beckoning people to come to
the land of hope and dreams.
Soonyang Life Science's stock price
that had been falling
after the financial crisis peaked.
Keep going up.
And the minority shareholders
who trusted the Soonyang name
Goodness, it's 10am already.
It's passed 10am already.
Worth 38 dollars.
Soonyang Life Science, twenty
They kept buying more shares
without any doubt.
Goodness.
But Soonyang chose to
liquidate the company, not invest in it.
All sorts of things happen in business.
This is what's important.
(Institutional investors' movements)
Gnaynoos is a foreign equity fund
and institutional investor.
They bought and sold Soonyang
Life Science's shares in a short period,
making a massive profit margin.
"Gnaynoos?"
They made risky investments.
I say they're a speculative hedge fund.
I'm sorry to say that currently,
Korea is a paradise to hedge funds.
Prices are cheap,
and there are lots to eat.
Buy Korea. Why not?
What do you think about this, then?
Focus on the date Gnaynoos sold all
their Soonyang Life Science shares.
(Sold 8 times in about 2 months)
It happened just one day
before Chairman Jin announced
he'd cooperate with
the President's Big Deal policy.
It's also the day before
he announced he'd liquidate
Soonyang Life Science
as part of the Big Deal.
It's an exit.
Institutional investors knew
what Soonyang would do
and got out in time.
It's not just a simple hedge fund.
Are you saying Gnaynoos
had something to do with Soonyang?
I don't know that.
So I called my contacts in New York.
I asked them to find out
what Gnaynoos does.
Oh, my
They're amazingly loyal.
Gnaynoos' limited partner investors
all used to be
Soonyang's financial executives.
That means Gnaynoos
is Soonyang's slush fund.
And with that money,
they bought Soonyang Corporation's shares.
Because it's the mother company
that governs all subsidiaries.
(Soonyang Life Science)
(Soonyang Corporation Share Distribution)
Gnaynoos successfully bought
4.9 percent of Corporation's shares.
You have all you need
to ensure management
remains within the family.
That much of Soonyang Corporation.
How much is it in cash?
All 90 million dollars made
from liquidating Soonyang Life Science.
It is a real big deal.
We made a profit.
It was the succession.
Rather than pay the inheritance tax
to hand down the company,
Soonyang Life Science
(Big Deal, Company liquidation)
No. The public that invested
in Soonyang Life Science
were sacrificed.
While pretending to create
a conglomerate
the government and IMF wanted.
- Grandpa.
- Hello.
What are you doing here?
You didn't even call.
I came to see you.
Good. Sit down.
You can't be here because
you're out of pocket money.
So, what's this about?
So Soonyang Life Science.
I heard it was liquidated.
I read about it in the news.
That it's Soonyang Group's major business.
That it'll lead us
into the next generation.
What about it?
Well
Our PR department
wouldn't have spread lies.
That means you were convinced
the business would do well.
So why was it suddenly sold off?
I wanted to find out.
Do you want an answer?
Yes.
The President was looking for
any excuse to bring us down.
What else could I do?
What power do I have
when I'm just an old man?
If the President wields a sword,
you lie low and feign death
while other heads roll.
That's how you stay alive, isn't it?
The minority shareholders.
The public must've suffered.
Those people
did nothing wrong
but just believed in our company.
Why would you care about
those people?
You'll never live as a member
of the ordinary public.
You are my grandson.
Don't you go around saying that.
People will gossip
that you're pretending to care.
You said you weren't interested
in our company's business.
Did you change your mind?
Do you want
to inherit Soonyang?
No way.
I never thought
about inheriting Soonyang, Grandpa.
Is that so?
Save Soonyang Life Science!
- Save it!
- Save it!
Retract the decision!
- Retract it!
- Retract it!
Protect proprietary rights
of minority shareholders!
- Protect it!
- Protect it!
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol,
take responsibility!
- Take responsibility!
- Take responsibility!
Soonyang which cannot withstand
economic crisis, reflect!
- Reflect!
- Reflect!
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol,
take responsibility!
- Take responsibility!
- Take responsibility!
Soonyang, retract it!
- Retract it!
- Retract it!
I'm sorry.

(Soonyang only has one answer,
righteous management.)
(Soonyang Construction)
From joining the company
(Junior Managing Director Jin Seong Jun)
to becoming Junior Managing Director,
it normally takes 27 years.
But despite not having any accomplishments,
I became the owner of this room.
What can I do?
My grandfather happens
to be Chairman Jin Yang Cheol.
(Soonyang Construction)
I won't take this privilege for granted.
I will do my best
to carry out my duty
with a huge responsibility.
You welcomed me warmly
even though I'm lacking.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Seong Jun became
the junior managing director
of Soonyang Construction?
Hold on.
He gave his eldest grandson a post
in Soonyang Construction,
which it's a sinecure?
It's a penalty!
Collective punishment, at that.
Gosh, my old man.
He kept track
of all of Young Ki's failures,
then pushed it all onto Seong Jun.
The timing is rather dramatic.
(Soonyang Fire Insurance)
I thought the succession
was about to start
with Soonyang Corporation's stocks
that he bought,
but he sent Junior Managing Director
Jin Seong Jun,
the center of the succession,
to Soonyang Construction,
not Corporation or Electronics.
It means I still have time.
How much of Soonyang Corporation's stock
can I buy?
What if you buy Soonyang Corporation?
How much of it can you buy?
What's important is who he's going to give
the stocks he bought
under a borrowed name,
and how much of them.
Still, in the end,
won't he give them to Seong Jun?
Primogeniture is Father's principle.
Wait.
Then why did he send his eldest grandson
to Soonyang Construction?
No, I didn't send him.
Seong Jun volunteered.
- Seong Jun did?
- Yes.
I asked him to send me
to Soonyang Construction.
Why Construction of all places,
when you have to go
to rough construction sites?
You need to get married too.
Kids nowadays dislike it
saying it has gone out of fashion
after the New Village Movement.
You have a unique taste.
He spent a great deal of money
studying abroad.
I'm sure he has a plan.
Let's hear you out.
There are a lot of competent people
at Soonyang Electronics.
Finance and Distribution
have Uncle and Aunt.
I'm quite curious
about why Construction lost
its previous value.
Above all, Soonyang was able
to grow this much
because Grandfather earned
expensive dollars
from working in Saudi Arabia
enduring the sandy wind.
I felt bad leaving it as it is.
I'm so upset, Mother.
He's not known how to secure
his own benefits since he was young.
Exactly.
Jeong Rae, Seong Jun speaks so sweetly.
He's better suited for politics
rather than business.
Who is suited for what?
Politics?
Politics?
Because of those politicians, I,
and Soonyang,
suffered so much yet again.
Does anyone here not know this?
I'm sorry, Father.
I didn't mean that.
- Prosecutor Choi.
- Yes.
I heard you were going
to run for mayor this time.
Is this true?
Well
People around me kept insisting that
I was the perfect fit.
What's great about you besides the fact
that you're my son-in-law?
They're all trying to steal my money.
Chang Je is looked down
on only in this house.
Outside, he's a just prosecutor
who led the elimination of corruption.
All because you used him
to get rid of others.
But you shouldn't bite off more
than you can chew!
Prosecutor is the right place for him.
- Father.
- Your just husband
that the whole world knows!
If you want to get him kicked out jobless,
take this chance to remove his position
as my son-in-law
and start anew.
And see if anyone approaches him.
Why would you get up even
before finishing your meal?
Young Ki.
Why did you stay silent?
You promised you would support Chang Je.
Father is not wrong.
Chang Je, don't feel upset.
Public Security and Special Unit.
You were able to work
in these departments
all thanks to Father. No?
Of course, Young Ki.
Chang Je, you don't show
that you were raised poor.
Normally, those who were raised poor
catch on quick.
You know how Father is.
So why would you admit it?
I'm sure he didn't know
this conflict would happen.
What are you guys doing?
What's wrong?
I see.
Does Chang Je still look like
a country bumpkin
who comes to this house
to earn his tuition fee?
Just you watch.
How far Chang Je can go as a politician.
I'll make sure to show you.
Let's go.
Well
I'm sorry to make a scene
on such a nice day.
Hurry up!
Let's eat.
He would need to bow and shake hands
all the time.
Why does he want to get into politics?
Nowadays, money is power.
In the end, what moves money is authority.
If Grandfather hates politics,
it would mean politicians
still hold a lot of authority.
Gosh, what are engineering students doing?
Can't they put the songs in these albums
into a device that fits in one hand?
The size of an apple.
Apple?
Is that going too far?
Then melon. Melon sounds good.
Try making it. I'll invest in it.
- You're going to invest in it?
- Yes.
It means it will work.
No.
You're not an artist
if such chicken feed makes you waver.
I heard that you were talented
in investing.
But why did you go to law school?
You don't seem to be uninterested
in business either.
I'm uninterested in Soonyang's business,
at least.
My dad is different from Uncle and Aunt.
I think Grandfather didn't make me work
in the company
because he didn't want me to.
I'm Grandfather's grandson,
but my dad's son before that.
I don't start a fight
that already has an ending.
Father.
Yes.
It's late. We should go home too.
Okay.
Seong Jun, congratulations again
on your first day of work.
Thank you.
Uncle. I knew he got good grades,
but he's really smart.
Let's keep in touch.
Did something happen?
It's Chang Je who got scolded by Father.
So why do you look like you were wronged?
I do?
See this?
This middle-aged man who looks like
he was wronged?
You're right.
I feel wronged.
So it's true.
I know very well what my son wants,
but as long as he's born as my son,
I have to tell him
not to start anything that goes against
Grandfather's wish.
That's my place.
I feel sorry
for being this kind of a dad.
I'm sorry, Father.
Why, Hyeong Jun?
I actually passed
the Seochon Music audition.
You noticed my talent
from that short moment.
Talent isn't something you can hide.
I was foolish.
I guess this is the fate of a genius.
Audition?
Seochon Music?
I'm going to début
as a singer in the summer.
What?
You're really going to become a singer?
Didn't you already guess that?
- Weren't you just dressed that way?
- What?
Do Jun.
So you're a good singer.
Yes.
Where is this, Grandfather?
This is
the island of orchids and grass.
It has a pretty name too.
Nanji Island.
Nanji Island is
the island that was used as a landfill
They buried the trash piled up
as high as a mountain down here.
Then the land beneath would be full of gas.
Here.
It might collapse.
Seong Jun, look carefully.
This is where New Seoul Town will be built.
Seoul World Cup Stadium
will be built over there,
and a new city will be built next to that.
The budget is five billion dollars.
Once the election
for the mayor of Seoul is over,
things will progress fast
starting with the selection
of the company in charge.
You give it a go.
- Sorry?
- From bidding to construction.
Take charge of the project
and build a new city here.
My eldest grandson.
Why do you keep insisting against it?
Miracle Investments
won't invest in small businesses.
"Small businesses
are the flowers of the new world."
Didn't you listen
to the president's inauguration speech?
One billion dollars are out in the market.
- We should go flower viewing.
- It's not late to invest
after the flowers fall and bear fruits.
Goodness.
As NASDAQ Composition fell,
KOSDAQ Composition fell below 200.
The froth has come out
of modern technology stocks.
There are many online companies
that are facing a crisis.
Crises of online companies
are caused by an excessive investment
without a clear revenue model.
I said no.
In the US,
do you know which area's house prices
rose the most?
New York? No.
Silicon Valley? Yes.
New businesses always need new land,
and money is bound to gather in that place.
Do you think Yeongdong, once a cheap area,
became one of the most expensive areas
in Gangnam
just because of wealthy housewives'
property speculation?
It's because a highway was built.
What is the 21st century's highway?
IT.
Correct.
Wait.
Can you say that again?
Correct.
Wealthy housewives? Cheap area?
No, before that.
What was that about new businesses?
They need new land,
and money is bound to gather in that place.
New businesses and new land.
Digital and media.
Yes, it's Sangam-dong.
New Seoul Town development
that provided money to Soonyang
which almost faced liquidity risk
right after the IMF crisis.
It's that Sangam-dong.
I found
Miracle Investment's next goal.
Thank you, Mr. Oh.
(New Seoul Town Digital Media City
Development Plan)
I'm going to build a digital media city
in New Seoul Town.
- A digital media city?
- Yes.
It's the center of entertainment business
with IT infrastructure.
(New Seoul Town Digital Media City
Development Plan)
Your new business is entertainment?
In Korea,
which doesn't speak English
and has less than fifty million people?
A day will come where
the world goes crazy
over Korean songs, movies, and dramas.
Does the person you admire
the most happen to be Kim Goo?
Yes.
The book that left you
- a deep impression is
- "Baekbeom's Diary."
I see.
"What I want the most is"
"the power of culture."
You must dream of Korea becoming
the cultural powerhouse.
Well, you're free to dream.
The problem is, we don't have
a construction company.
Are you going to shovel yourself?
I asked her to check
for a construction company
that we can buy.
(Jaea Civil Engineering Construction
Takeover Plan)
(Stable business)
It's the most cost-effective among
the companies that are big enough.
- Jaea Construction is?
- Yes.
Number one.
It doesn't have any affiliates,
so taking over will be simple.
Number two.
The owner family is a bit problematic.
What do you mean?
It's sort of an occupational disease
of Korean conglomerate owners.
They think the company vault is theirs.
Breach of duty, embezzlement,
and even accounting fraud.
They must be involved in reporting more
than necessary budget amount
and price fixing as well.
Construction companies are the easiest
to make money without labels.
Bingo.
How could you join Soonyang Construction
without discussing with me
and as you like?
At this critical time?
Right now, we should acquire more shares
in Soonyang Corporation.
Before the succession plan is finalized,
Grandfather could pass away.
- What?
- The budget
for the New Seoul Town project
is five billion dollars,
which means we can stash a lot
of money away as a slush fund.
Then you joined
Soonyang Construction because
I know I always made you anxious,
just like now.
That you'd fall out of favour
with Grandpa because of me.
You were afraid I'd ruin your plan
to succeed the throne.
- Seong Jun, that's
- Father.
Now, I can really understand you.
I feel exactly the same way right now.

It's me, Jin Seong Jun.
You didn't want to bet your future
on me just because of Soonyang.
Then how about you get to know me better
and decide?
Do you like that spot?
Was her name Kim Yeon Soo?
The lead actress in the weekend drama,
"Women of the Sauna."
She always sat there too.
Oh, here.
I've never seen this before.
Oh, right.
Yoon Ji Na must've left it here
when she was in a rush
to get to "Top 10 Songs" on time.
What about this glass?
Who else used this?
How would I remember everyone
who's used it?
So why did you make me come all the way
to Incheon?
Oh
You already know what kind
of upbringing I had.
This was like my playground.
I've played with it plenty of times,
so I don't need it anymore.
What do you say? Would you accept it?
I've officially joined the company,
and I feel that I can start
afresh with you.
So you're not photogenic,
and you're a terrible actor.
You're Soonyang's third-generation heir.
You can easily buy yourself
another playground like this.
Did you actually think
you could deceive me like this?
If you want to marry me,
it can't be because of me.
I bet it's because of your grandpa,
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol.
What's wrong with that?
I must do my very best
to win my grandfather over.
A devoted husband, model father,
successful businessman.
I thought that was
the kind of married life you wanted.
What more do you need? Tell me.
You hardly know me.
If we knew everything about each other,
we wouldn't want to get married.
You, Ms. Mo Hyeon Min, intrigue me.
If we wanted to land
the New Seoul Town project,
we'd have to see eye to eye
with the next mayor of Seoul.
When does the nomination period begin?
The floor leaders of the leading
and opposition parties
are waiting for your call, sir.
Is it not my money they're waiting for?
They won't give the project
to a different company
after getting your money
for their campaign, right?
Do you know why you must be careful
when you spend someone else's money?
The money I gave them isn't
the reason they must listen to me.
They have no choice but to do as I say
because I have leverage over them
since they received money from me.
So it's a stick and not a carrot,
after all.
Choose one.
Who should be the next mayor of Seoul?
Oh! Prosecutor Choi Chang Je, right?
- Who are you?
- What a coincidence!
I really wanted to meet you.
Who knew I'd run into you here?
Goodness.
You know about
Mayor Giuliani of New York, right?
He was a prosecutor who came from nothing.
Thanks to him,
who fought against corruption,
New York became
the number one city in the world.
Just like New York has Giuliani,
Seoul needs Mayor Choi Chang Je.
A young, competent mayor
who is perfect for Seoul.
You're definitely not
from the political circle.
Oh
I'm Oh Se Hyeon from Miracle Investment.
I'd like to sponsor your campaign,
Mr. Choi.
(Miracle Investment, CEO Oh Se Hyeon)
"Miracle?"
We cannot accept Miracle's support.
Besides, you want
the New Seoul Town project,
which Soonyang Construction is after?
Mr. Oh, this is like declaring war
on my father, Chairman Jin Yang Cheol.
Never in my life have I seen anyone
win against him.
All will be fine
if Chairman Jin never finds out about this.
Am I wrong?
I plan to take this
to my grave.
(Miracle Investment)
So we're partners now.
We share a secret.
Then we must add on
a little extra as hazard pay.
As for the amount, 10 million won't do.
Make it 20 million dollars.
You sure take after your father.
But the thing is,
will the party nominate me?
Those at Cheongwadae are tight,
and people should know you
if you want the spotlight
at the confirmation hearing,
but I'm
You reflect the spirit of the times,
Prosecutor Choi.
It's a quality that a politician
absolutely needs.
The spirit of the times
I do?
- Yes.
- Yes?
Yes!
While investigating the family
of Jaea Construction's owner
for dereliction of duty and embezzlement,
the Seoul District
Public Prosecutors' Office
confirmed that CEO Kang Man Soo
illegally siphoned off
36 million dollars overseas.
We've also requested
an arrest warrant on Kim Jong Bok,
the Commissioner
of the Korea Customs Service,
for deliberately concealing this.
This is clearly a corruption case
caused by abuse of power.
We, at Prosecution Service,
promise to investigate the case
until the end without bowing
to any kind of external pressure.
That'd be all.
(Prosecution Service)
Prosecutor Choi! You investigated
an incumbent minister.
Was there any external pressure?
You also investigated the cases
involving Ahjin and Hando Steel.
You're a member of the Soonyang family.
Did anyone try to bribe you?
Is there a reason you mainly handle
corporate crime cases?
Have you experienced any external pressure?
- Just a comment, please!
- Say a few words!
The spirit of the times?
Since the financial crisis,
everyone's been talking
about sharing the pain.
But they aren't the ones
who caused this pain.
Why are the powerless citizens
the only ones suffering?
Why is it
that the powerless citizens
are the only ones suffering?
That is
not justice.
("Economy Now," "Explore Current Affairs")
(Standing With Citizens,
Prosecutor Choi Chang Je)
(Asking for Justice
During Financial Crisis)
("Explore Current Affairs," Choi Chang Je)
We've absorbed all
the Jaea Construction shares
that once belonged
to CEO Kang Man Soo and his family.
We've become the major shareholder
with just five percent of the shares.
This also means we can participate
in the New Seoul Town project.
Hold on. Did we use Choi Chang Je
to get Jaea Construction?
Or did we use Jaea Construction
to catapult Choi Chang Je to fame?
What matters is that we already have
Jaea in the palm of our hand.
And soon, the mayor of Seoul
will also be in the palm of our hand.
The pre-mayoral election polls
have been showing strong support
for Choi Chang Je from the Seoul
District Public Prosecutors' Office,
who has announced that
he was embarking on a political career.
All eyes are on whether
or not this son-in-law
of the Soonyang Group family
will be nominated
as a mayoral candidate.
I will stand with my fellow citizens,
with my fellow citizens of Seoul.
Those in the ruling party
are supporting the other two candidates.
What do you think, Do Jun?
Who do you think is behind Uncle Chang Je?
I'm not sure.
I have no interest in politics.
Grandfather will soon find out
who he's up against.
He won't let them have their way.
Uncle Chang Je and those in politics.
("The Great Gatsby")
Mr. Kim Seong Hwan from
the ruling party is on the phone.
Hello. It's me, Jin Yang Cheol.
Yes, Mr. Chairman. Right.
It's been a while, sir.
I heard reporters at Hyunsung Daily
got their hands on
some confidential documents
at our research institute.
Hando Steel, Ahjin Motors.
(Party Leader Kim Seong Hwan)
What do you mean, sir?
Everyone is saying Chang Je
was ordered by Soonyang
to deliberately launch the investigation.
I heard it'd be on the front page
of the newspapers tomorrow morning.
Once the article is published,
all the voters will turn away
from the ruling party.
- Lower your voice, honey.
- Just go home, then!
Honey, this isn't a good idea
- I told you not to follow me!
- Okay, all right. Slow down.
Have you no pride?
- It's just that
- Be quiet!
Please, honey. It's nothing
Be quiet! Just go home!
Gosh, honey. Wait.
- I told you not to follow me!
- Honey, please.
- This is nuts!
- Calm down.
What kind of father
ruins his own children's future?
Some fathers do. Don't cry.
My dear Hwa Young, don't cry.
My sweet Hwa Young.
All right, that's enough.
This will only stir things up.
Let's go. Come on.
- Let's go home.
- Honey, let go.
What? Okay, look.
I must talk to Father
and settle this matter once and for all.
Honey, calm down.
You're too worked up right now.
What are you doing here?
Honey, it's Do Jun. It's okay.
If you're here to see Grandpa,
Uncle Chang Je should go upstairs alone.
- What did you say?
- Must you be like this too?
If Auntie Hwa Young tagged along,
Grandpa would just see you
as his son-in-law.
Not as a mayoral candidate.
Chang Je, you're here.
("Explore Current Affairs," Choi Chang Je)
Are you done having fun?
Once the article comes out
tomorrow morning,
you'll have to stop
pretending to be a righteous prosecutor.
Don't take it to heart though.
I'll open a law firm for you now
that you've left the prosecution.
You're right, Father.
I should stop pretending
to be a righteous prosecutor.
I plan to do it properly from now on.
I'll be a hunter who goes after
the conglomerates.
About Soonyang Life Science, Father.
The real reason
they liquidated all the assets
in the midst of the negotiations.
The slush fund needed for Soonyang's
unlawful succession was the reason.
Why? Will you tell the prosecution?
Do you think
they'll side with you?
Which is why I plan to hold
a press conference
as soon as I leave Jeongsimjae.
It'll be broadcast live on the Internet.
As the conglomerate hunter
and your son-in-law,
I plan to tell the truth.
Do you think
public opinion will side with you, Father?
They say
you can never win against your children.
My son-in-law is my child too, after all.
How could I win against you?
Then I need you
to promise me something.
My gosh.
Nephew, you were right.
I did exactly as you said,
and he gave me the go-ahead.
Grandpa
- Grandpa gave you the go-ahead?
- Yes.
That's great. Congratulations,
Uncle Chang Je.
Gosh, thanks.
- Best of luck.
- Thanks.
- Hey, nephew.
- Yes?
I didn't think you'd help me.
Why did you help me?
Well, the mayor of Seoul title
suits you better
than a mere son-in-law
of the Soonyang family,
Uncle Chang Je.
Did you give him the go-ahead
to run for mayor?
Will that be all right, sir?
What can I do?
I shall try to use the poultry knife
to butcher a cow.
Someone's got
Chang Je's back.
Hang Jae, I need you to find out
who it is
and why they're trying to make
Chang Je the mayor of Seoul.
(Live Election Results)
Seoul, Choi Chang Je. 53.6 percent.
Yang Doo Yeong, 41.7 percent.
- Yes!
- Yes.
Six from the United Liberal Democrats.
Four from the Korea Party.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Cheers.
Choi Chang Je
from the New Democratic Korea Party
has won the election.
Now that we have
the mayor of Seoul on our side,
we just need Mayor Choi
to give the New Seoul Town project to us,
Jaea Construction.
We can trust him, right?
I mean, we're dealing
with Jin Yang Cheol here.
Mayor Choi is a softie.
Would he be able to handle him?
My gosh. Congratulations, Chang Je.
But as you know,
you are and will always be
my one and only son-in-law
who I'm very proud of,
no matter where you are or what you do.
Don't forget that.
Thank you. I'll never forget that.
- Choi Chang Je!
- Hurrah!
- Hurrah!
- Hurrah!
- Mayor of Seoul, Choi Chang Je!
- Mayor of Seoul, Choi Chang Je!
- Yes!
- Mayor Choi Chang Je!
As for the New Seoul Town project,
the bidding results should've been
announced already.
But Seong Jun hasn't called yet, sir.
There he is.
So how did it go?
The New Seoul Town development project
has gone to Jaea Construction.
Sir.
Tell Chang Je that I want to see him.
You're here.
I wanted to wait outside
to welcome the new mayor.
Let's go inside.
Why don't we just talk here?
My new job is keeping me busy, Father.
Who is it?
Who's got your back
that you can be this arrogant?
You gave the New Seoul Town project
to Jaea Construction.
Did that person put you up to it?
The person behind you.
Is it Miracle?
I guess you didn't know.
The ten thousand citizens of Seoul
have got my back.
What?
As the mayor of Seoul,
I chose Jaea Construction
over Soonyang according
to the rules and procedures,
for the sake of Seoul's better future.
Should you have any additional questions,
I will see you in my office next time,
Mr. Chairman.
Jaea Construction
got the New Seoul Town project?
It was Mr. Jin Seong Jun's first project.
He must be very disappointed.
And I guess he's preparing
to go study abroad or something.
He frequents a language institute.
That's interesting.
Miracle Investment has control
over Jaea Construction.
Miracle and Jin Do Jun's language institute
are in the same building.
I believe in fate,
but not in coincidences.
We're from the prosecution.
We're here to conduct a search and seizure.
- Search the office.
- Yes, sir.
- Start over there.
- Over here.
Excuse me. Who are you?
Is Mr. Oh Se Hyeon here?
What is this about?
We're from the Seoul District
Public Prosecutors' Office.
We received a tip-off that
you paid a large bribe
to Mayor Choi Chang Je
in order to land
the New Seoul Town project.
(Standards of Judicial Administration)
My, Soonyang sure has a lot of power.
Even prosecutors are
at their beck and call.
What do you want from me?
Chairman Jin wants to meet
the majority shareholder of Miracle.
The real owner of the company.
You know Miracle Investment, right?
Then
do you also know
who the company's real owner is?
You're talking like you know who it is.
Who is it?
I'm Miracle's majority shareholder,
Jin Do Jun.
(Reborn Rich)
Why? Why did you do such a thing?
I'd like to buy
Soonyang.
I'm worried.
He'll try to drag me down
throughout my term.
Then soar high enough
so he can't drag you down.
Be honest with me.
You're not 22, right?
You said partners must be honest
to each other.
We'll be good partners.
It sure is a proposition
I can't turn down.
We've got a problem.
They contacted us and said
they'd cancel the plan
to enter DMC altogether.
My eldest grandson,
do you want to get your revenge?
