Why Her? (2022) s01e06 Episode Script
Her Price Tag
1
(This is a work of fiction. All characters, places, incidents,)
(and organizations portrayed in this drama are fictitious.)
You said no to the managing partner title.
What do you want?
Seventy million dollars.
What?
Choose.
Do you want me to ruin the big picture
you've been painting with great effort?
Or pay me the fee for the sell-off of Hansu Bio,
seventy million dollars.
So you won't ruin my plans if I pay you for using your name.
And you want 70 million dollars?
But how can I trust you?
You're sending a sign that you could make everyone end up in the gutter,
so how can I trust you?
I do not want all of you to end up in the gutter.
In fact, I want to see the three of you celebrate further success.
Chairman Han will make big money through the sell-off of Hansu Bio.
Assemblyman Lee will use that to win the presidential race.
And you.
You'll use them to lay the groundwork for the next step.
"Those who put their own personal gain first"
"are more trustworthy than those who don't."
Look at you using what I told you in the past.
For my own personal gain,
I will make sure that the info on the flash drive won't get out.
Then as soon as the sell-off is completed,
I will return it to you.
The moment you have it,
you'll get your hands on the weaknesses of Chairman Han
and Assemblyman Lee, who will go on to become President.
Isn't that what you want?
But how will you make me trust that there is no copy?
Kindness breeds kindness.
Promise me that you will pay me
for using my name, and I will not make a copy.
Okay. Looks like that tiny flash drive
will cost me 70 million dollars.
I thought I'd tamed you into a docile dog
that I could use and hunt down,
but you're asking for a crazy deal from me, Soo Jae.
A deal
I regret that I'm only getting around to it now.
And just so you know,
I was never your "hound".
Had I been a docile dog,
you would've gotten rid of me long ago.
Regarding Ju Wan, can you get his divorce sorted out quickly?
You're getting 70 million dollars, so you can do that much.
(Episode 6)
I told you to keep Soo Jae in check, but you got her fired up.
I'm sorry, sir.
Yield to all her requests regarding the sell-off.
- Do you understand? - Sorry? What do you mean
She knows about the Bahamas bank account in her name.
Listen up. If you still want that 27 million dollars,
just do as I say,
exactly as you're told.
No funny business.
Yes, sir.
What were you doing, Mr. Ha?
The flash drive ended up in Soo Jae's hands.
What were you doing when all of that was going down?
I apologize, sir.
I did find out that the files that had been moved
to Gong Chan's place were moved back to Ms. Oh's place, but
Please forgive me, sir.
Who is that kid, Gong Chan?
He runs a bar
with two friends who are like his brothers.
I heard he had worked at the fish market for a long time.
He and Ms. Oh live close to each other,
but they don't seem to have anything else in common.
I'll do some more digging though.
Why bother?
There's no need.
He's probably one of the law school kids
who are trying to curry favour with Soo Jae knowing she's a TK lawyer.
Idiots.
(Age 18 at the time of the incident)
(Jeon Na Jung, September 4, 2012)
(Teen in Ungju Murders His Stepsister)
(Kim Confesses to Ungju Murder)
(Kim Dong Gu, Age 18 at the time of the incident)
(Police and prosecution didn't believe me.)
(Chief Prosecutor Choi Tae Guk, Prosecutor Seo Jun Myung)
(The only public defender who believed me)
(The only public defender who believed me)
(Oh Soo Jae)
So it was Professor Oh.
Goodness. I was wondering what all the fuss was about.
You brought her here, fixed a meal for her,
and made us go to her building in the middle of the night
and move all the boxes. You kicked up such a fuss.
When did you find out
that she was that public defender?
When I started law school, on my first day of class.
Before that, you had no idea?
No idea at all.
You know
that I rarely read the newspapers or watch the news
because I'm afraid I'd see my name, Kim Dong Gu.
Oh, boy.
You see, I do not miss my life as Kim Dong Gu.
I'm much happier as Gong Chan.
I don't have to worry when someone calls my name.
I started feeling at ease
when I changed my name.
Goodness.
You say that, but you still can't let this go.
My, these people are even more successful now.
That chief prosecutor is the chairman of a law firm now.
The prosecutor who treated you like dirt
is the professor involved in the sexual assault scandal.
And Professor Oh
worked under the chairman even back then?
They're all connected. What a mess.
It's a small world, you know.
The legal industry is even smaller.
Forget it.
Hey! Just get rid of this already.
Look.
No Byung Chul is the killer.
He confessed to it.
He said he killed Jeon Na Jung
and threw her body in the ocean so no one would find it.
He said that himself and has been in jail for the past nine years.
You're the only one who's still in denial, you idiot.
Just get rid of all this.
No!
I said, no.
He's not the killer.
I know. I know that it wasn't him.
I know he didn't do it.
Fine.
Let's say you're right
and that it wasn't him.
You've been acquitted, so let's just leave it at that.
Just live quietly as Gong Chan.
You said you were happier as Gong Chan.
After all, isn't that why you're fooling your professor?
Hiding from her that you're Kim Dong Gu.
But you know what, Chan?
If you like someone,
you shouldn't deceive them for a long time.
Don't drink so much.
You'll pass out here at this rate.
I know.
You silly goose.
I got her.
You, Oh Soo Jae.
Gosh, you.
What? What did I do?
Hey, 70 million dollars isn't chump change.
The chairman said he'd give it to you
because he felt cornered at that moment,
but do you think he'll actually give it to you?
Trying to get that money from him could cost you your life, you fool.
Hey.
Do you know what my name means in Chinese characters?
"Soo" probably means "outstanding", and "Jae" means "talent".
I know your brothers' names too.
Chun Jae, Young Jae, and Soo Jae. Your father named the three of you.
My dad
used the character for "talent" for the "Jae" in my brothers' names,
but not for my name.
Really? What does it mean, then?
"Soo" means "outstanding", and "Jae" means "pure".
He wanted you to be an outstanding person who's pure in heart.
That's so sweet.
But they dared to use my name.
To launder the money they had embezzled.
For a moment, I considered exposing it.
But if I do that, I may end up in jail
because that's exactly why they used my name.
It'd be so easy to make me take the fall for everything.
So exposing it is not the answer.
I can't ruin my own future.
I'll shake them up
and eat them alive.
I don't really understand what you're talking about right now.
Just sleep.
She's fast asleep. I can't wake her up now.
It's been about 15 minutes.
I'll let her sleep for just five more minutes.
Okay, keep the camp fire going.
Don't put it out.
Okay.
Sorry.
My goodness.
Soo Jae, someone's calling you. Who is it?
(Gong Chan)
Gong Chan?
He already found out too much about me.
I think he might find out everything.
That's incredibly embarrassing.
I'd love to just let him take care of you and get going.
But then, he'd see you like this, and you'd be even more embarrassed.
I can't do that to you.
Bye, Gong Chan. Sorry.
- Isn't that - My gosh!
Professor Oh Soo Jae's phone?
Oh, are you Gong Chan?
My gosh.
- What's going on? - It's
What are you doing here?
What?
Hey, he called you when you were asleep.
So did you tell him to come here?
I really didn't want to see him today.
Hey, it's mean to say stuff like that to his face.
Okay. I'm sorry for saying this to your face,
but you make me uncomfortable. I want you out of my sight.
Especially today and now.
So leave.
The feeling is mutual.
I'm uncomfortable that I ran into you today.
Today,
I didn't want to see you either.
So let's just call it even and have some eel.
Since we both didn't want to see each other.
And your friend didn't ask me to come here.
I'm here because Auntie called me and told me to come by for some eel.
Auntie, I want my eel!
I'm grilling it now! Don't rush me.
I'm so embarrassed for you.
You know you totally overreacted, right?
Isn't he that Gong Chan who has a crush on you?
Yes.
I am that Gong Chan.
I see.
- He's good-looking. - Be quiet.
- I'm Chae Jun Hee. - Shut it.
My gosh.
- Get home safely! - Let's go.
I told you to finely chop the green onions.
I never told you to do such a clumsy job.
Good grief. You really are the bane of my existence.
Hurry up!
To tell you the truth, I wanted to see you.
I lied earlier.
Your friend was right there,
and you said you wanted me out of your sight.
It hurt my feelings.
But I have to say,
I'm happy to see you.
Gosh. When I'm with you, I don't care about getting my pride crushed.
I wasn't like this when the ice store owner's daughter chased me.
"Ice store owner's daughter"?
At the fish market.
The ice store owner's youngest daughter was so popular.
Everyone called her "Ice Princess".
She had such a small, cute face.
Then go to your "Ice Princess". What are you doing here?
Seven billion dollars? Is it her?
Seven billion dollars?
Anyway, Professor Oh.
Why did you say you didn't want to see me today?
You seem upset.
I feel like my name has been rolling around
on the ground like a piece of trash. Do you know what it's like?
Hey, isn't that Kim Dong Gu? When did he get out?
Don't look at him. His eyes give me the creeps.
Kim Dong Gu?
Don't even say that name. It'll bring us rotten luck.
But you were the one who told me about it.
The paper company in the Bahamas.
Money was laundered through the paper company.
And your name is on the bank account.
Oh Soo Jae.
I'm glad to have found out,
but I feel like
you know something else about me now,
and I feel embarrassed again.
That's why I didn't want to see you.
I have something like that too.
In a way, I feel like I'd rather have it out in the open.
But at the same time, I want to keep it hidden forever.
You're not the only one who feels that way.
So once again, let's call it even.
Sometimes in life, you feel like only bad things are coming your way.
But if you wait a little and look around you,
you'll see that good things are happening.
And you'll see good people around you.
Good things
and good people.
(Song Mi Rim)
(Song Mi Rim)
Hey.
Mr. Yoon Se Pil called me because he couldn't reach you.
He wants to move the 9am meeting to 8am.
He wants to meet for breakfast.
Okay.
(Snacks and Toast)
Ms. Oh.
My gosh, they're so busy.
- Here you go. - One more ham and cheese, please.
Sure.
- Is this place good? - Try it and you'll see.
- Great. Thank you. - Enjoy.
My gosh. It's delicious.
I came here every two days when I was studying for the bar exam.
Every two days?
I couldn't afford to eat it every day.
Today, it's on me. Eat as much as you want.
How much is it anyway?
At least 1.8 billion dollars.
To be honest, it should be at least two billion dollars.
And what do I get in return?
Classified information that the phase-three clinical trial
for Hansu Bio's new drug will be successful
and that it'll be announced
immediately after the merger.
You seem pleased, so here's another condition.
The retainer fee shall be 25 percent of the entire amount.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That kind of up-front payment is unheard of.
If people find out that I agreed to this, everyone will call me crazy.
If you're not up for it, don't do it.
But if rumours go around that you're crazy
My gosh. It'll be great for marketing.
Okay, let's do this.
I can agree to 20 percent.
If we uncover any serious issues such as corruption
while conducting due diligence,
Hansu Bio will have to return twice the amount to SP Partners,
and the agreement will be annulled.
- Deal. - Before the remainder is due,
if Hansu Bio's stock price drops over eight percent
for whatever reason,
Hansu Bio will have to return twice the amount to SP Partners,
and the agreement will be annulled. That's my condition.
Make it 15 percent.
- No, 10 percent. - Make it 16.
Eleven.
Make it 17 percent.
You want Hansu to go belly up.
So making their stock drop that much will be a piece of cake for you.
Are you planning
to make the stock price fall and run off with the doubled-up payment?
Hansu Construction has to pay off
over 400 million dollars immediately.
However, Hansu's debt-to-equity ratio is over 500 percent,
so they can't find a bank that is willing to lend them money.
The company really needs the up-front payment.
Just accept my offer.
Make it 13 percent.
Deal.
One last condition.
The execution of the business sale agreement
involving Hansu Bio will be handled by lawyer Oh Soo Jae.
So this deal can't go through without you? Is that it?
I can't let someone else take the fruit of my hard work.
I've been told that TK
will get at least 70 million dollars once the deal goes through,
which is a very lucrative transaction for TK.
How much will you get for overseeing the entire procedure?
I want to say Ten percent?
Seven percent?
Why don't you join hands with us instead?
With us, you can get up to 20 percent. You have my word.
No need, because I'll take everything anyway.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Have a good day. - You too!
Mr. Kim.
A short-term borrowing of 200 million dollars
at Hansu Construction.
What will you do about it?
Three years ago,
you said you'd grow it to be
the number one construction company in Korea once we acquired
Daesung Construction.
The construction for Yeongpyeong District has kicked off,
and the stock price has been on the rise, sir.
But as for the short-term borrowings,
I'm hoping we'll soon have some surplus funds
once the sale of Hansu Bio goes well.
Hey, why is the sell-off any of your business?
Are you asking me to sell Hansu Bio to fill your deficit?
Now that the Yeongpyeong District project has kicked off,
you need to create a cash flow as the CEO of the company.
How dare you expect me to spoon-feed you?
- I apologize, sir. - Darn you useless morons.
- Hey, Han Gi Taek. - Yes, sir.
What are you doing? Try to use your brain a little.
I am, sir.
When we're selecting our preferred bidder,
why don't we sign with the one with the most enticing offer?
Here's what I've gathered so far. Naeun Group, 1.1 billion dollars.
H and T, 1.3 billion dollars.
SP Partners, 1.8 billion plus other incentives.
Up to two billion dollars, I'd say.
We'll select SP Partners as our preferred bidder
and request at least 20 percent for the up-front payment.
What? Twenty percent?
On the condition that the success of the phase-three clinical trial
will be announced after the sell-off.
Are you crazy? Why let them reap all the benefits?
This is nuts. Hey, what are you thinking?
What is this?
"If any problem arises, Hansu will pay twice the amount,"
"and the agreement will be annulled"?
Goodness. Hey, read this over.
Hey, are you suggesting we throw 700 million dollars out the window?
Father, we could lose up to 800 million dollars.
Gi Taek, this is insane.
Is this a joke? Are you gullible or just incompetent?
This is way too risky.
There will be no risk.
There will be no risk whatsoever.
But will Chairman Choi be okay with the conditions you suggested?
Now that I know about the bank account in my name,
he'll have no choice.
Lawyer Oh Soo Jae will handle it, backed by TK.
If anything goes wrong, we'll hold TK Law Firm accountable.
The accounting firm will be hired by them,
so the 70 million dollars will initially go to TK.
If anything goes wrong, TK will pay back three times the commission.
So, 70 million times 3. That's 210 million dollars.
We'll make TK pay us 210 million dollars.
Well, I like that.
But these conditions are just too extreme.
Will Chairman Choi do it though?
Will that sly man agree to this,
knowing he might have to cough up 210 million dollars?
You just need to make your decision, sir.
Ms. Oh will take care of SP Partners and TK.
You've already talked to Ms. Oh about this?
Yes, sir.
My goodness.
These conditions are just unheard of.
Gi Taek, I see that you used your brain for a change.
However, Ms. Oh has to oversee
all legal aspects of the sell-off as Hansu Bio's legal representative.
Who wants that? Ms. Oh?
Yes.
I told her it was a bit much, but
Well, she's already doing that. So why not?
Sure, tell her that we'll put that in the agreement.
Yes, sir.
My goodness.
Just tell him that Hong Seok Pal is here.
You'll have to call the secretary's office and make an appointment.
Tell Executive Secretary Ha Il Gu
that Hong Seok Pal is here to speak with the chairman
regarding Park So Young.
Yes, a man named Hong Seok Pal is here.
Okay.
See? Why did you have to waste my time?
Hello, good day.
Don't you know who I am?
You sound very charming today.
It's okay. Just go back to your old ways.
Park So Young's cell phone.
Did someone order you to bring it to them?
Or did you steal it so you could keep it as insurance?
What's all this gibberish about now?
Seeing how you had to come all the way here,
I'm guessing your situation isn't so good now.
You can contact me if you ever need my help.
Oh, I'll bill you for my medical expenses, so be ready.
(Song Mi Rim)
You said you were close to Ms. An in the secretary's office.
Yes. We go out for a beer together from time to time.
Go there now. Pretend to be talking to her and monitor the situation.
You treated me last time. Today, it's on me.
- What do you feel like eating? - Well, how about gopchang?
Let's just talk in your office.
Are we teenagers? Why do you want to talk in the restroom?
Aren't you busier now that Ms. Oh is teaching at the law school?
Come on. I can still make time to have dinner with you.
Do you think you can scare me by saying that?
I swear, I'll expose everything.
So you'd better not ignore me!
What are you looking at?
Ms. Oh, that man was fuming mad. He was shouting and yelling.
Can you still not reach Mr. Ko?
No, it's been a few days.
I need you guys to look into this man.
It's been handed off to the prosecution,
but the investigation isn't going anywhere.
But you want us to look into it?
How?
Aren't you curious? I am curious.
Is there a personal reason?
A reason you're intrigued
or a reason you must find out?
- Of course. - What is the reason?
- I can't tell you. - Sorry?
So you want us to just shut our mouths and find out?
No, it's a deal. I'm proposing a deal.
If you're not interested, you can bow out.
If you're in, take turns and tell me what you want.
Once I graduate and pass the bar exam,
I'd like to work at TK.
On your team.
Okay, if you score over 1,200 on the bar exam.
Sorry? That is way too high.
- Could you make it 1,000? - Then 1,300.
Fine. 1,200, it is.
This NDA states that you must keep everything related to this
strictly confidential.
Write down your condition on the last page and sign.
Okay.
(Score over 1,200 on the bar exam.)
If I ever need a lawyer, please help me at least once.
Are you planning to cause trouble?
No, of course not.
I'd never. My dream is to become President.
- That's quite a dream. - Nice and big, right?
I believe that everyone should dream big.
(Nam Chun Poong)
I need your help with a case.
The case will go to trial. Please help me.
But you won't even tell me anything about the case?
I'll tell you when the time is right.
I mean, you're just saying that you're curious to find out
who killed Park So Young,
without telling us what you're really after.
If I manage to find out who killed her,
you'll have to grant my request too.
Can you pick up a cup of coffee for me?
Sure.
I don't want you to be part of this.
- Why not? - It's better for you that way.
Why?
I guess someone I know is on your list of suspects?
I want to know who's on that list, but I know you won't tell me.
Let me ask you one thing.
Do you feel guilty about Park So Young's death?
Do I feel guilty?
- No. - Then why are you doing this?
Why bother digging into this?
They're trying to sweep it under the rug,
so I believe the information will be useful to me.
If the person I'm suspecting is really the culprit,
that's quite useful for me.
Sometimes,
you feel very cold, Soo Jae.
I've been wondering if you've always been this way
or if working under my father changed you.
But what I know for sure is that the Soo Jae who used to tutor me
was very different from the person you are now.
That was a long time ago.
People change.
That's true.
But I always find myself searching for the Soo Jae I knew back then.
She's still in there. The Soo Jae from the past is still in you.
You shouldn't be involved in this. It'll be better that way.
Don't date Chan. That's my one condition.
What?
I saw you two.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- One bottle of soju, please. - Okay.
I've never seen you smile
like that before.
I don't think you used to smile like that in the past.
I didn't realize you could smile like that.
Chan
is a very interesting guy.
I always liked him.
I thought, gosh, he's a really good guy.
I actually wanted to be friends with this guy.
But at some point, he started to bug me.
Soo Jae.
Do you like Chan?
Do you like Chan as a guy? Do you?
If you're going to keep talking about useless things, leave.
I guess you're not sure yet.
That's a relief.
Don't forget what I said.
Don't date Chan.
[VIU Ver] SBS E06 'Why Her?'
"Her Price Tag"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Yoon Sang.
Hey.
I'm nervous about negotiating with Professor Oh on my own.
How was it?
Everyone's been doing it, but nobody's saying how it goes.
You're good at being alone with her, aren't you?
See you.
Are you facing any pressure
or problems related to the case?
Are you wanting to take advantage of a weakness
of someone related to the case?
the suspect of the case?
Why do you think so?
Because
I'm worried.
What's your condition?
(Oh Soo Jae, Gong Chan)
I don't have any.
(Non-Disclosure Agreement)
I'll keep your secret no matter what.
What is this?
Why does "no matter what" sound so romantic?
(Non-Disclosure Agreement)
That's why I got insurance. It pays 300,000 dollars when I die.
She said she wouldn't lend me money unless I got this insurance.
Soo Jae is such a bad daughter.
I'm sorry, Mother.
No, you're right.
She's my daughter, but I can't believe she came out of me.
Hi, Ms. Song. Is Soo Jae inside?
Yes, Ms. Yang. What brings you
Ms. Song?
Are you Attorney Song Mi Rim of TK Law Firm?
Oh, yes. But who might you be
Me?
I'm Attorney Min Young Bae's wife.
The guy who lost his shot to become managing partner of TK Law Firm
because you betrayed him at the last minute.
I'm also the assistant director here. My name is Jung Hee Young.
I see.
So, it's not that I betrayed him.
He didn't understand his standing in the firm and expected too much
You told me to get this insurance policy. What are you talking about?
I got the insurance policy.
You brat. Your brothers are at that fancy building of yours,
and they're not going to move until you open the store for them.
It seems she's been neglecting her family.
Please. You can't yell in here like that.
Let go of me. What kind of lawyer neglects her own family?
What kind of professor are you?
How can someone like you teach students?
Let go of me, Ms. Song. I'm going to end this here and now.
I know that area well because I run a bar in front of that building.
I did a complete analysis
of what type of store would be best for that area.
Who are you?
He's a student of Professor Oh's.
He has a natural talent for business.
He runs a store nearby,
and he's the owner of a building.
- Is that right? - Just come with me.
Someone might call the police.
The professors here are ex-prosecutors and ex-judges.
Okay. Let's go.
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
Gong Chan is so amiable.
I was about to intervene,
but it was nice that he was able to kindly get her out of there.
Sorry, sir.
What do you mean? You did nothing wrong.
Anyway,
why are you trying to find it?
Anyway,
why are you trying to plead not guilty?
Because that's the correct answer.
I'm just trying to work toward the correct answer.
Because that's the correct answer.
I'm just trying to work toward the correct answer.
Toward the correct answer?
You're trying to catch the man who killed Park So Young
with the help of the students at the legal clinic,
so you can head toward the correct answer?
Is it worth it?
Kim Dong Gu is not guilty. Is that the correct answer?
Is it worth it?
Just go with the flow.
Chief Prosecutor Choi
is going to retire after this case.
He'll probably start his own law firm then.
Just go with the flow, wrap up this case,
and go work at his law firm.
He'll make you a successful lawyer.
When will I be able to try
going against the grain again
if I don't do so now?
Do you have no other reasons?
Do I need another reason?
Well, if that put it that way
Gosh. I still have this habit from my prosecutor days.
I keep wondering if people have hidden agendas.
It's amazing, Ms. Oh.
Gong Chan's people skills are no joke.
Your mother became as gentle as a lamb.
I've never seen her concentrate so hard before.
She's completely absorbed in what Chan is saying, nodding along.
Gosh, Chan.
They're coming out. I'm going to hang up.
Hello, Mother.
Ms. Song. When did you get here? You should've come in.
Goodness. Mr. Gong is the best.
He's a building owner and a business owner.
He's very successful.
Do you know what's even more amazing?
He's going to let my sons open up a new location of his bar.
He's going to tell them everything. Business advice, recipes, and all.
You just need to make sure that your sons get
work experience at the fish market for six months first.
No problem at all. I'll make sure they do so no matter what.
They went to prison for ten months before. Six months is nothing.
Oh, my. Pretend you didn't hear that.
Thank you for coming.
How great.
I would take him to be my son-in-law
in a heartbeat if Soo Jae was just ten years younger.
The company went through a rough patch
with the delay of the sale.
SP Partners offered
the highest acquisition price to Hansu Bio,
and they were ultimately selected to be the acquirer.
Reporter Han.
The Hansu Bio acquisition has become very interesting.
What are your thoughts on this?
Preferred bidders refer to companies
that offered the most advantageous conditions
out of all the other bidders.
- So they will be given - He's coming out!
the negotiation rights before the other bidders.
According to my sources in the industry,
SP Partners offered 2.1 billion dollars.
With this deal,
Hansu Bio's equity will go over three billion dollars.
As of now, their debt-to-equity ratio is over 550 percent.
But it will be reduced by half.
This is great news for Hansu Group.
I see. Ms. Shin.
TK Law Firm was involved in handling the sell-off.
Then is it safe to say the law firm also gained a lot from this?
Yes. That's right. TK Law Firm supervised the deal.
And this was a nice example that showed its power.
Many law firms aggressively tried to win this account.
But TK Law Firm was the winner. And by handling this deal,
the law firm will receive a fee of over 70 million dollars.
This means that
Did you see that? She seems so calm after making 70 million dollars.
She can't be human.
Anyway, this is impressive.
She rules. Gosh. She got my respect too.
But Choi Ju Wan was the first-chair counsel in this sell-off.
That's just his title. Ms. Oh did all the work.
I thought she would get pushed down after losing the position.
But she just got more ground with this case.
Come on. Get to work!
Well done.
If there's a problem with this, we'll pay three times the fee.
Are you sure there's no risk with that condition?
Soo Jae
found out about the bank account under her name in the Bahamas.
When she took the files, that made me worry the most.
She found out in the end.
I'm sorry. I should have gotten that.
If she kicks her out, she will be the biggest traitor.
But if we keep her in, she'll fight off 1,000 enemies.
So we must bring her in. That's the answer, isn't it?
Finalize your divorce and marry her.
- Father. - Do not defy me.
Here's the news about Hansu Group.
Chairman Han Sung Bum's bold leadership is in the limelight.

of Hansu Group's decision to proceed with the sell-off
If In Soo were to become the president,
who do you think will lead the world?
("Assemblyman Lee In Soo Is Ranked 1st in the Polls")
("Chairman Han Sung Bum's Bold Decision to Sell Hansu Bio")
Ms. Oh.
I was curious about you, so I always wanted to meet you.
And here we are.
Tell me your conditions.
Mediating them is my job.
Why don't we talk after work?
The highest alimony they can pay me.
And a public apology from Choi Ju Wan.
Help him with his divorce.
My daughter-in-law wants custody and parental rights.
I can't let that happen.
I heard you wanted custody and parental rights of your child.
Was I misinformed?
Goodness. Father couldn't even tell I was joking.
Why would I want custody and parental rights?
She's not even my child. Why would I want them?
Hey, Jae Yi.
Mom. I went to Grandma's grave.
Good job. Your grandma must have been happy to see you.
Mom. I'm sleeping with you tonight, right?
You'll come and pick me up, right?
Yes. Of course. See you later.
She's smart and beautiful
to the point that I wish I gave birth to her.
But you must have grown attached to her.
She must think you are her mother.
I lost my child because of Jae Yi.
Mighty.
I named my baby that, so my baby could be healthy in my womb.
But one day, my doctor told me Mighty's heart wasn't beating.
When I found out about Jae Yi,
I cried every day and threw up.
I couldn't even sleep.
After spending two months like that
My baby died because of Jae Yi.
But my father-in-law told me this.
"I'll tell everyone that you gave birth to Jae Yi."
"Wouldn't that be better for you too?"
From time to time, my father-in-law
acts like a sociopath.
Don't you agree?
Choi Ju Wan has some of his genes, so he's the same.
I lived my life pretending to be happy with those monsters.
I want to stop now.
My life is too precious to waste.
By the way, I'm really curious.
How did you open up to someone like Choi Ju Wan?
I know we just met.
But I can tell it won't be easy to win you over.
I paid attention to his background.
What about you?
You do have your charm.
I get why my father-in-law likes you.
This is our first day. So let's wrap up here.
Next time, let's discuss more realistic conditions in detail.
Sure. Sounds good.
You can go there first. Ju Wan will follow you there.
Have a baby there and have a simple wedding.
My beautiful
Sky.
Ms. Oh Soo Jae.
Yes.
(Registration, Billing)
What's your baby's nickname?
- Pardon? - You haven't gotten one yet?
You can tell us next time then.
Sky.
Sky? That's a beautiful name.
Yes.
I had erased
that beautiful name from my head.
If I hadn't, I couldn't have survived.
I didn't tell anyone.
I wished no one would find out.
(Boseung Steel's Office)
(Boseung Steel's Office)
- Bye. - Right. Good work.
- You must be very tired. - Right.
Good work.
(Suspect)
(Detective)
Dong Gu, do you want some more soda?
Come on. Be nice to her.
Gosh. Stop introducing me to the women you date.
Aren't you even embarrassed?
Ma'am. Don't trust my dad. You'll ruin your life.
Hey. You punk. Where are you going?
Hey.
Why don't you eat some meat before you go?
I hope
you can be a good brother to my daughter, Na Jung.
There's something
I didn't tell you.
I should have told you.
I wanted to tell you many times.
And I tried to tell you too.
But I couldn't.
But she had a stillbirth.
When the man she thought would come didn't come for her,
she even tried to end her life.
That useless jerk. He's nothing but a disappointment.
My son was reckless for a night and got you pregnant.
And you used the pregnancy
for your personal gain.
I let that slide.
I hate that people
who try to manipulate me, so I would do what they want
are the only ones who know about it.
I want a good person to know about it.
What is it? Something happened to you. What happened?
I just want someone good to know about it.
I just suddenly wanted to say that.
Jun Hee.
Can I share this secret with someone else?
Not you.
Yes, you can. You totally can.
There are a lot of things I keep from you too.
I think he will just
tell me it's okay.
I think he can make it look like it's not a big deal.
Can I share that with him?
I would be fine even if you never told me.
Just tell Gong Chan about it.
You have to tell him. Okay?
Who's there?
This is Oh Soo Jae speaking.
This is Hong Seok Pal.
Let's meet.
Hey. Do you know what time it is?
Park So Young.
What if I killed her?
What?
Why? Did what I just said get your attention now?
I get it. You're partially responsible
for the way she died.
What are you talking about?
Come find me at Seokpo Fishing Spot now.
(Seokpo Fishing Spot)
(Legal Clinic Center)
I heard it from the coordinator at Park So Young's OB-GYN clinic.
She said the father of the baby was super rich.
Park So Young took a cab in front of the hostess bar.
And I confirmed that
Hong Seok Pal took his car to follow her soon after.
For now, Hong Seok Pal is the prime suspect.
Hong Seok Pal?
(Hyundae Snack Bar, Recreational Boats)
(Gong Chan)
Where are you?
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
I wanted
What?
I wanted to
go to you.
Something happened, right?
- Where are you? - Chan, where are you going?
If you don't know where you are, tell me what you see.
I can find you. Just tell me what you see.
(Why Her?)
Who's Hong Seok Pal?
The owner of the hostess bar Park So Young worked at.
What if he didn't kill himself? Just like Park So Young,
what if it's murder disguised as suicide?
Do you think you're the only one who's worried about Soo Jae?
It infuriates me
that she was all alone when that happened last night.
No, Eun Seo.
Over here! I need help!
He died because of you.
How much do you think you can protect yourself?
The detectives were here.
They came here because they couldn't reach you.
Get her out right now!
That's why I'm here.
Because something bad is going to happen to me soon.
(This is a work of fiction. All characters, places, incidents,)

You said no to the managing partner title.
What do you want?
Seventy million dollars.
What?
Choose.
Do you want me to ruin the big picture
you've been painting with great effort?
Or pay me the fee for the sell-off of Hansu Bio,
seventy million dollars.
So you won't ruin my plans if I pay you for using your name.
And you want 70 million dollars?
But how can I trust you?
You're sending a sign that you could make everyone end up in the gutter,
so how can I trust you?
I do not want all of you to end up in the gutter.
In fact, I want to see the three of you celebrate further success.
Chairman Han will make big money through the sell-off of Hansu Bio.
Assemblyman Lee will use that to win the presidential race.
And you.
You'll use them to lay the groundwork for the next step.
"Those who put their own personal gain first"
"are more trustworthy than those who don't."
Look at you using what I told you in the past.
For my own personal gain,
I will make sure that the info on the flash drive won't get out.
Then as soon as the sell-off is completed,
I will return it to you.
The moment you have it,
you'll get your hands on the weaknesses of Chairman Han
and Assemblyman Lee, who will go on to become President.
Isn't that what you want?
But how will you make me trust that there is no copy?
Kindness breeds kindness.
Promise me that you will pay me
for using my name, and I will not make a copy.
Okay. Looks like that tiny flash drive
will cost me 70 million dollars.
I thought I'd tamed you into a docile dog
that I could use and hunt down,
but you're asking for a crazy deal from me, Soo Jae.
A deal
I regret that I'm only getting around to it now.
And just so you know,
I was never your "hound".
Had I been a docile dog,
you would've gotten rid of me long ago.
Regarding Ju Wan, can you get his divorce sorted out quickly?
You're getting 70 million dollars, so you can do that much.
(Episode 6)
I told you to keep Soo Jae in check, but you got her fired up.
I'm sorry, sir.
Yield to all her requests regarding the sell-off.
- Do you understand? - Sorry? What do you mean
She knows about the Bahamas bank account in her name.
Listen up. If you still want that 27 million dollars,
just do as I say,
exactly as you're told.
No funny business.
Yes, sir.
What were you doing, Mr. Ha?
The flash drive ended up in Soo Jae's hands.
What were you doing when all of that was going down?
I apologize, sir.
I did find out that the files that had been moved
to Gong Chan's place were moved back to Ms. Oh's place, but
Please forgive me, sir.
Who is that kid, Gong Chan?
He runs a bar
with two friends who are like his brothers.
I heard he had worked at the fish market for a long time.
He and Ms. Oh live close to each other,
but they don't seem to have anything else in common.
I'll do some more digging though.
Why bother?
There's no need.
He's probably one of the law school kids
who are trying to curry favour with Soo Jae knowing she's a TK lawyer.
Idiots.

(Oh Soo Jae)
So it was Professor Oh.
Goodness. I was wondering what all the fuss was about.
You brought her here, fixed a meal for her,
and made us go to her building in the middle of the night
and move all the boxes. You kicked up such a fuss.
When did you find out
that she was that public defender?
When I started law school, on my first day of class.
Before that, you had no idea?
No idea at all.
You know
that I rarely read the newspapers or watch the news
because I'm afraid I'd see my name, Kim Dong Gu.
Oh, boy.
You see, I do not miss my life as Kim Dong Gu.
I'm much happier as Gong Chan.
I don't have to worry when someone calls my name.
I started feeling at ease
when I changed my name.
Goodness.
You say that, but you still can't let this go.
My, these people are even more successful now.
That chief prosecutor is the chairman of a law firm now.
The prosecutor who treated you like dirt
is the professor involved in the sexual assault scandal.
And Professor Oh
worked under the chairman even back then?
They're all connected. What a mess.
It's a small world, you know.
The legal industry is even smaller.
Forget it.
Hey! Just get rid of this already.
Look.
No Byung Chul is the killer.
He confessed to it.
He said he killed Jeon Na Jung
and threw her body in the ocean so no one would find it.
He said that himself and has been in jail for the past nine years.
You're the only one who's still in denial, you idiot.
Just get rid of all this.
No!
I said, no.
He's not the killer.
I know. I know that it wasn't him.
I know he didn't do it.
Fine.
Let's say you're right
and that it wasn't him.
You've been acquitted, so let's just leave it at that.
Just live quietly as Gong Chan.
You said you were happier as Gong Chan.
After all, isn't that why you're fooling your professor?
Hiding from her that you're Kim Dong Gu.
But you know what, Chan?
If you like someone,
you shouldn't deceive them for a long time.
Don't drink so much.
You'll pass out here at this rate.
I know.
You silly goose.
I got her.
You, Oh Soo Jae.
Gosh, you.
What? What did I do?
Hey, 70 million dollars isn't chump change.
The chairman said he'd give it to you
because he felt cornered at that moment,
but do you think he'll actually give it to you?
Trying to get that money from him could cost you your life, you fool.
Hey.
Do you know what my name means in Chinese characters?
"Soo" probably means "outstanding", and "Jae" means "talent".
I know your brothers' names too.
Chun Jae, Young Jae, and Soo Jae. Your father named the three of you.
My dad
used the character for "talent" for the "Jae" in my brothers' names,
but not for my name.
Really? What does it mean, then?
"Soo" means "outstanding", and "Jae" means "pure".
He wanted you to be an outstanding person who's pure in heart.
That's so sweet.
But they dared to use my name.
To launder the money they had embezzled.
For a moment, I considered exposing it.
But if I do that, I may end up in jail
because that's exactly why they used my name.
It'd be so easy to make me take the fall for everything.
So exposing it is not the answer.
I can't ruin my own future.
I'll shake them up
and eat them alive.
I don't really understand what you're talking about right now.
Just sleep.
She's fast asleep. I can't wake her up now.
It's been about 15 minutes.
I'll let her sleep for just five more minutes.
Okay, keep the camp fire going.
Don't put it out.
Okay.
Sorry.
My goodness.
Soo Jae, someone's calling you. Who is it?
(Gong Chan)
Gong Chan?
He already found out too much about me.
I think he might find out everything.
That's incredibly embarrassing.
I'd love to just let him take care of you and get going.
But then, he'd see you like this, and you'd be even more embarrassed.
I can't do that to you.
Bye, Gong Chan. Sorry.
- Isn't that - My gosh!
Professor Oh Soo Jae's phone?
Oh, are you Gong Chan?
My gosh.
- What's going on? - It's
What are you doing here?
What?
Hey, he called you when you were asleep.
So did you tell him to come here?
I really didn't want to see him today.
Hey, it's mean to say stuff like that to his face.
Okay. I'm sorry for saying this to your face,
but you make me uncomfortable. I want you out of my sight.
Especially today and now.
So leave.
The feeling is mutual.
I'm uncomfortable that I ran into you today.
Today,
I didn't want to see you either.
So let's just call it even and have some eel.
Since we both didn't want to see each other.
And your friend didn't ask me to come here.
I'm here because Auntie called me and told me to come by for some eel.
Auntie, I want my eel!
I'm grilling it now! Don't rush me.
I'm so embarrassed for you.
You know you totally overreacted, right?
Isn't he that Gong Chan who has a crush on you?
Yes.
I am that Gong Chan.
I see.
- He's good-looking. - Be quiet.
- I'm Chae Jun Hee. - Shut it.
My gosh.
- Get home safely! - Let's go.
I told you to finely chop the green onions.
I never told you to do such a clumsy job.
Good grief. You really are the bane of my existence.
Hurry up!
To tell you the truth, I wanted to see you.
I lied earlier.
Your friend was right there,
and you said you wanted me out of your sight.
It hurt my feelings.
But I have to say,
I'm happy to see you.
Gosh. When I'm with you, I don't care about getting my pride crushed.
I wasn't like this when the ice store owner's daughter chased me.
"Ice store owner's daughter"?
At the fish market.
The ice store owner's youngest daughter was so popular.
Everyone called her "Ice Princess".
She had such a small, cute face.
Then go to your "Ice Princess". What are you doing here?
Seven billion dollars? Is it her?
Seven billion dollars?
Anyway, Professor Oh.
Why did you say you didn't want to see me today?
You seem upset.
I feel like my name has been rolling around
on the ground like a piece of trash. Do you know what it's like?
Hey, isn't that Kim Dong Gu? When did he get out?
Don't look at him. His eyes give me the creeps.
Kim Dong Gu?
Don't even say that name. It'll bring us rotten luck.
But you were the one who told me about it.
The paper company in the Bahamas.
Money was laundered through the paper company.
And your name is on the bank account.
Oh Soo Jae.
I'm glad to have found out,
but I feel like
you know something else about me now,
and I feel embarrassed again.
That's why I didn't want to see you.
I have something like that too.
In a way, I feel like I'd rather have it out in the open.
But at the same time, I want to keep it hidden forever.
You're not the only one who feels that way.
So once again, let's call it even.
Sometimes in life, you feel like only bad things are coming your way.
But if you wait a little and look around you,
you'll see that good things are happening.
And you'll see good people around you.
Good things
and good people.
(Song Mi Rim)
(Song Mi Rim)
Hey.
Mr. Yoon Se Pil called me because he couldn't reach you.
He wants to move the 9am meeting to 8am.
He wants to meet for breakfast.
Okay.
(Snacks and Toast)
Ms. Oh.
My gosh, they're so busy.
- Here you go. - One more ham and cheese, please.
Sure.
- Is this place good? - Try it and you'll see.
- Great. Thank you. - Enjoy.
My gosh. It's delicious.
I came here every two days when I was studying for the bar exam.
Every two days?
I couldn't afford to eat it every day.
Today, it's on me. Eat as much as you want.
How much is it anyway?
At least 1.8 billion dollars.
To be honest, it should be at least two billion dollars.
And what do I get in return?
Classified information that the phase-three clinical trial
for Hansu Bio's new drug will be successful
and that it'll be announced
immediately after the merger.
You seem pleased, so here's another condition.
The retainer fee shall be 25 percent of the entire amount.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That kind of up-front payment is unheard of.
If people find out that I agreed to this, everyone will call me crazy.
If you're not up for it, don't do it.
But if rumours go around that you're crazy
My gosh. It'll be great for marketing.
Okay, let's do this.
I can agree to 20 percent.
If we uncover any serious issues such as corruption
while conducting due diligence,
Hansu Bio will have to return twice the amount to SP Partners,
and the agreement will be annulled.
- Deal. - Before the remainder is due,
if Hansu Bio's stock price drops over eight percent
for whatever reason,
Hansu Bio will have to return twice the amount to SP Partners,
and the agreement will be annulled. That's my condition.
Make it 15 percent.
- No, 10 percent. - Make it 16.
Eleven.
Make it 17 percent.
You want Hansu to go belly up.
So making their stock drop that much will be a piece of cake for you.
Are you planning
to make the stock price fall and run off with the doubled-up payment?
Hansu Construction has to pay off
over 400 million dollars immediately.
However, Hansu's debt-to-equity ratio is over 500 percent,
so they can't find a bank that is willing to lend them money.
The company really needs the up-front payment.
Just accept my offer.
Make it 13 percent.
Deal.
One last condition.
The execution of the business sale agreement
involving Hansu Bio will be handled by lawyer Oh Soo Jae.
So this deal can't go through without you? Is that it?
I can't let someone else take the fruit of my hard work.
I've been told that TK
will get at least 70 million dollars once the deal goes through,
which is a very lucrative transaction for TK.
How much will you get for overseeing the entire procedure?
I want to say Ten percent?
Seven percent?
Why don't you join hands with us instead?
With us, you can get up to 20 percent. You have my word.
No need, because I'll take everything anyway.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Have a good day. - You too!
Mr. Kim.
A short-term borrowing of 200 million dollars
at Hansu Construction.
What will you do about it?
Three years ago,
you said you'd grow it to be
the number one construction company in Korea once we acquired
Daesung Construction.
The construction for Yeongpyeong District has kicked off,
and the stock price has been on the rise, sir.
But as for the short-term borrowings,
I'm hoping we'll soon have some surplus funds
once the sale of Hansu Bio goes well.
Hey, why is the sell-off any of your business?
Are you asking me to sell Hansu Bio to fill your deficit?
Now that the Yeongpyeong District project has kicked off,
you need to create a cash flow as the CEO of the company.
How dare you expect me to spoon-feed you?
- I apologize, sir. - Darn you useless morons.
- Hey, Han Gi Taek. - Yes, sir.
What are you doing? Try to use your brain a little.
I am, sir.
When we're selecting our preferred bidder,
why don't we sign with the one with the most enticing offer?
Here's what I've gathered so far. Naeun Group, 1.1 billion dollars.
H and T, 1.3 billion dollars.
SP Partners, 1.8 billion plus other incentives.
Up to two billion dollars, I'd say.
We'll select SP Partners as our preferred bidder
and request at least 20 percent for the up-front payment.
What? Twenty percent?
On the condition that the success of the phase-three clinical trial
will be announced after the sell-off.
Are you crazy? Why let them reap all the benefits?
This is nuts. Hey, what are you thinking?
What is this?
"If any problem arises, Hansu will pay twice the amount,"
"and the agreement will be annulled"?
Goodness. Hey, read this over.
Hey, are you suggesting we throw 700 million dollars out the window?
Father, we could lose up to 800 million dollars.
Gi Taek, this is insane.
Is this a joke? Are you gullible or just incompetent?
This is way too risky.
There will be no risk.
There will be no risk whatsoever.
But will Chairman Choi be okay with the conditions you suggested?
Now that I know about the bank account in my name,
he'll have no choice.
Lawyer Oh Soo Jae will handle it, backed by TK.
If anything goes wrong, we'll hold TK Law Firm accountable.
The accounting firm will be hired by them,
so the 70 million dollars will initially go to TK.
If anything goes wrong, TK will pay back three times the commission.
So, 70 million times 3. That's 210 million dollars.
We'll make TK pay us 210 million dollars.
Well, I like that.
But these conditions are just too extreme.
Will Chairman Choi do it though?
Will that sly man agree to this,
knowing he might have to cough up 210 million dollars?
You just need to make your decision, sir.
Ms. Oh will take care of SP Partners and TK.
You've already talked to Ms. Oh about this?
Yes, sir.
My goodness.
These conditions are just unheard of.
Gi Taek, I see that you used your brain for a change.
However, Ms. Oh has to oversee
all legal aspects of the sell-off as Hansu Bio's legal representative.
Who wants that? Ms. Oh?
Yes.
I told her it was a bit much, but
Well, she's already doing that. So why not?
Sure, tell her that we'll put that in the agreement.
Yes, sir.
My goodness.
Just tell him that Hong Seok Pal is here.
You'll have to call the secretary's office and make an appointment.
Tell Executive Secretary Ha Il Gu
that Hong Seok Pal is here to speak with the chairman
regarding Park So Young.
Yes, a man named Hong Seok Pal is here.
Okay.
See? Why did you have to waste my time?
Hello, good day.
Don't you know who I am?
You sound very charming today.
It's okay. Just go back to your old ways.
Park So Young's cell phone.
Did someone order you to bring it to them?
Or did you steal it so you could keep it as insurance?
What's all this gibberish about now?
Seeing how you had to come all the way here,
I'm guessing your situation isn't so good now.
You can contact me if you ever need my help.
Oh, I'll bill you for my medical expenses, so be ready.
(Song Mi Rim)
You said you were close to Ms. An in the secretary's office.
Yes. We go out for a beer together from time to time.
Go there now. Pretend to be talking to her and monitor the situation.
You treated me last time. Today, it's on me.
- What do you feel like eating? - Well, how about gopchang?
Let's just talk in your office.
Are we teenagers? Why do you want to talk in the restroom?
Aren't you busier now that Ms. Oh is teaching at the law school?
Come on. I can still make time to have dinner with you.
Do you think you can scare me by saying that?
I swear, I'll expose everything.
So you'd better not ignore me!
What are you looking at?
Ms. Oh, that man was fuming mad. He was shouting and yelling.
Can you still not reach Mr. Ko?
No, it's been a few days.
I need you guys to look into this man.
It's been handed off to the prosecution,
but the investigation isn't going anywhere.
But you want us to look into it?
How?
Aren't you curious? I am curious.
Is there a personal reason?
A reason you're intrigued
or a reason you must find out?
- Of course. - What is the reason?
- I can't tell you. - Sorry?
So you want us to just shut our mouths and find out?
No, it's a deal. I'm proposing a deal.
If you're not interested, you can bow out.
If you're in, take turns and tell me what you want.
Once I graduate and pass the bar exam,
I'd like to work at TK.
On your team.
Okay, if you score over 1,200 on the bar exam.
Sorry? That is way too high.
- Could you make it 1,000? - Then 1,300.
Fine. 1,200, it is.
This NDA states that you must keep everything related to this
strictly confidential.
Write down your condition on the last page and sign.
Okay.
(Score over 1,200 on the bar exam.)
If I ever need a lawyer, please help me at least once.
Are you planning to cause trouble?
No, of course not.
I'd never. My dream is to become President.
- That's quite a dream. - Nice and big, right?
I believe that everyone should dream big.
(Nam Chun Poong)
I need your help with a case.
The case will go to trial. Please help me.
But you won't even tell me anything about the case?
I'll tell you when the time is right.
I mean, you're just saying that you're curious to find out
who killed Park So Young,
without telling us what you're really after.
If I manage to find out who killed her,
you'll have to grant my request too.
Can you pick up a cup of coffee for me?
Sure.
I don't want you to be part of this.
- Why not? - It's better for you that way.
Why?
I guess someone I know is on your list of suspects?
I want to know who's on that list, but I know you won't tell me.
Let me ask you one thing.
Do you feel guilty about Park So Young's death?
Do I feel guilty?
- No. - Then why are you doing this?
Why bother digging into this?
They're trying to sweep it under the rug,
so I believe the information will be useful to me.
If the person I'm suspecting is really the culprit,
that's quite useful for me.
Sometimes,
you feel very cold, Soo Jae.
I've been wondering if you've always been this way
or if working under my father changed you.
But what I know for sure is that the Soo Jae who used to tutor me
was very different from the person you are now.
That was a long time ago.
People change.
That's true.
But I always find myself searching for the Soo Jae I knew back then.
She's still in there. The Soo Jae from the past is still in you.
You shouldn't be involved in this. It'll be better that way.
Don't date Chan. That's my one condition.
What?
I saw you two.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- One bottle of soju, please. - Okay.
I've never seen you smile
like that before.
I don't think you used to smile like that in the past.
I didn't realize you could smile like that.
Chan
is a very interesting guy.
I always liked him.
I thought, gosh, he's a really good guy.
I actually wanted to be friends with this guy.
But at some point, he started to bug me.
Soo Jae.
Do you like Chan?
Do you like Chan as a guy? Do you?
If you're going to keep talking about useless things, leave.
I guess you're not sure yet.
That's a relief.
Don't forget what I said.
Don't date Chan.

"Her Price Tag"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Yoon Sang.
Hey.
I'm nervous about negotiating with Professor Oh on my own.
How was it?
Everyone's been doing it, but nobody's saying how it goes.
You're good at being alone with her, aren't you?
See you.
Are you facing any pressure
or problems related to the case?
Are you wanting to take advantage of a weakness
of someone related to the case?
the suspect of the case?
Why do you think so?
Because
I'm worried.
What's your condition?
(Oh Soo Jae, Gong Chan)
I don't have any.
(Non-Disclosure Agreement)
I'll keep your secret no matter what.
What is this?
Why does "no matter what" sound so romantic?
(Non-Disclosure Agreement)
That's why I got insurance. It pays 300,000 dollars when I die.
She said she wouldn't lend me money unless I got this insurance.
Soo Jae is such a bad daughter.
I'm sorry, Mother.
No, you're right.
She's my daughter, but I can't believe she came out of me.
Hi, Ms. Song. Is Soo Jae inside?
Yes, Ms. Yang. What brings you
Ms. Song?
Are you Attorney Song Mi Rim of TK Law Firm?
Oh, yes. But who might you be
Me?
I'm Attorney Min Young Bae's wife.
The guy who lost his shot to become managing partner of TK Law Firm
because you betrayed him at the last minute.
I'm also the assistant director here. My name is Jung Hee Young.
I see.
So, it's not that I betrayed him.
He didn't understand his standing in the firm and expected too much
You told me to get this insurance policy. What are you talking about?
I got the insurance policy.
You brat. Your brothers are at that fancy building of yours,
and they're not going to move until you open the store for them.
It seems she's been neglecting her family.
Please. You can't yell in here like that.
Let go of me. What kind of lawyer neglects her own family?
What kind of professor are you?
How can someone like you teach students?
Let go of me, Ms. Song. I'm going to end this here and now.
I know that area well because I run a bar in front of that building.
I did a complete analysis
of what type of store would be best for that area.
Who are you?
He's a student of Professor Oh's.
He has a natural talent for business.
He runs a store nearby,
and he's the owner of a building.
- Is that right? - Just come with me.
Someone might call the police.
The professors here are ex-prosecutors and ex-judges.
Okay. Let's go.
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
Gong Chan is so amiable.
I was about to intervene,
but it was nice that he was able to kindly get her out of there.
Sorry, sir.
What do you mean? You did nothing wrong.
Anyway,
why are you trying to find it?
Anyway,
why are you trying to plead not guilty?
Because that's the correct answer.
I'm just trying to work toward the correct answer.
Because that's the correct answer.
I'm just trying to work toward the correct answer.
Toward the correct answer?
You're trying to catch the man who killed Park So Young
with the help of the students at the legal clinic,
so you can head toward the correct answer?
Is it worth it?
Kim Dong Gu is not guilty. Is that the correct answer?
Is it worth it?
Just go with the flow.
Chief Prosecutor Choi
is going to retire after this case.
He'll probably start his own law firm then.
Just go with the flow, wrap up this case,
and go work at his law firm.
He'll make you a successful lawyer.
When will I be able to try
going against the grain again
if I don't do so now?
Do you have no other reasons?
Do I need another reason?
Well, if that put it that way
Gosh. I still have this habit from my prosecutor days.
I keep wondering if people have hidden agendas.
It's amazing, Ms. Oh.
Gong Chan's people skills are no joke.
Your mother became as gentle as a lamb.
I've never seen her concentrate so hard before.
She's completely absorbed in what Chan is saying, nodding along.
Gosh, Chan.
They're coming out. I'm going to hang up.
Hello, Mother.
Ms. Song. When did you get here? You should've come in.
Goodness. Mr. Gong is the best.
He's a building owner and a business owner.
He's very successful.
Do you know what's even more amazing?
He's going to let my sons open up a new location of his bar.
He's going to tell them everything. Business advice, recipes, and all.
You just need to make sure that your sons get
work experience at the fish market for six months first.
No problem at all. I'll make sure they do so no matter what.
They went to prison for ten months before. Six months is nothing.
Oh, my. Pretend you didn't hear that.
Thank you for coming.
How great.
I would take him to be my son-in-law
in a heartbeat if Soo Jae was just ten years younger.
The company went through a rough patch
with the delay of the sale.
SP Partners offered
the highest acquisition price to Hansu Bio,
and they were ultimately selected to be the acquirer.
Reporter Han.
The Hansu Bio acquisition has become very interesting.
What are your thoughts on this?
Preferred bidders refer to companies
that offered the most advantageous conditions
out of all the other bidders.
- So they will be given - He's coming out!
the negotiation rights before the other bidders.
According to my sources in the industry,
SP Partners offered 2.1 billion dollars.
With this deal,
Hansu Bio's equity will go over three billion dollars.
As of now, their debt-to-equity ratio is over 550 percent.
But it will be reduced by half.
This is great news for Hansu Group.
I see. Ms. Shin.
TK Law Firm was involved in handling the sell-off.
Then is it safe to say the law firm also gained a lot from this?
Yes. That's right. TK Law Firm supervised the deal.
And this was a nice example that showed its power.
Many law firms aggressively tried to win this account.
But TK Law Firm was the winner. And by handling this deal,
the law firm will receive a fee of over 70 million dollars.
This means that
Did you see that? She seems so calm after making 70 million dollars.
She can't be human.
Anyway, this is impressive.
She rules. Gosh. She got my respect too.
But Choi Ju Wan was the first-chair counsel in this sell-off.
That's just his title. Ms. Oh did all the work.
I thought she would get pushed down after losing the position.
But she just got more ground with this case.
Come on. Get to work!
Well done.
If there's a problem with this, we'll pay three times the fee.
Are you sure there's no risk with that condition?
Soo Jae
found out about the bank account under her name in the Bahamas.
When she took the files, that made me worry the most.
She found out in the end.
I'm sorry. I should have gotten that.
If she kicks her out, she will be the biggest traitor.
But if we keep her in, she'll fight off 1,000 enemies.
So we must bring her in. That's the answer, isn't it?
Finalize your divorce and marry her.
- Father. - Do not defy me.
Here's the news about Hansu Group.
Chairman Han Sung Bum's bold leadership is in the limelight.

who do you think will lead the world?
("Assemblyman Lee In Soo Is Ranked 1st in the Polls")
("Chairman Han Sung Bum's Bold Decision to Sell Hansu Bio")
Ms. Oh.
I was curious about you, so I always wanted to meet you.
And here we are.
Tell me your conditions.
Mediating them is my job.
Why don't we talk after work?
The highest alimony they can pay me.
And a public apology from Choi Ju Wan.
Help him with his divorce.
My daughter-in-law wants custody and parental rights.
I can't let that happen.
I heard you wanted custody and parental rights of your child.
Was I misinformed?
Goodness. Father couldn't even tell I was joking.
Why would I want custody and parental rights?
She's not even my child. Why would I want them?
Hey, Jae Yi.
Mom. I went to Grandma's grave.
Good job. Your grandma must have been happy to see you.
Mom. I'm sleeping with you tonight, right?
You'll come and pick me up, right?
Yes. Of course. See you later.
She's smart and beautiful
to the point that I wish I gave birth to her.
But you must have grown attached to her.
She must think you are her mother.
I lost my child because of Jae Yi.
Mighty.
I named my baby that, so my baby could be healthy in my womb.
But one day, my doctor told me Mighty's heart wasn't beating.
When I found out about Jae Yi,
I cried every day and threw up.
I couldn't even sleep.
After spending two months like that
My baby died because of Jae Yi.
But my father-in-law told me this.
"I'll tell everyone that you gave birth to Jae Yi."
"Wouldn't that be better for you too?"
From time to time, my father-in-law
acts like a sociopath.
Don't you agree?
Choi Ju Wan has some of his genes, so he's the same.
I lived my life pretending to be happy with those monsters.
I want to stop now.
My life is too precious to waste.
By the way, I'm really curious.
How did you open up to someone like Choi Ju Wan?
I know we just met.
But I can tell it won't be easy to win you over.
I paid attention to his background.
What about you?
You do have your charm.
I get why my father-in-law likes you.
This is our first day. So let's wrap up here.
Next time, let's discuss more realistic conditions in detail.
Sure. Sounds good.
You can go there first. Ju Wan will follow you there.
Have a baby there and have a simple wedding.
My beautiful
Sky.
Ms. Oh Soo Jae.
Yes.
(Registration, Billing)
What's your baby's nickname?
- Pardon? - You haven't gotten one yet?
You can tell us next time then.
Sky.
Sky? That's a beautiful name.
Yes.
I had erased
that beautiful name from my head.
If I hadn't, I couldn't have survived.
I didn't tell anyone.
I wished no one would find out.

- Bye. - Right. Good work.
- You must be very tired. - Right.

Dong Gu, do you want some more soda?
Come on. Be nice to her.
Gosh. Stop introducing me to the women you date.
Aren't you even embarrassed?
Ma'am. Don't trust my dad. You'll ruin your life.
Hey. You punk. Where are you going?
Hey.
Why don't you eat some meat before you go?
I hope
you can be a good brother to my daughter, Na Jung.
There's something
I didn't tell you.
I should have told you.
I wanted to tell you many times.
And I tried to tell you too.
But I couldn't.
But she had a stillbirth.
When the man she thought would come didn't come for her,
she even tried to end her life.
That useless jerk. He's nothing but a disappointment.
My son was reckless for a night and got you pregnant.
And you used the pregnancy
for your personal gain.
I let that slide.
I hate that people
who try to manipulate me, so I would do what they want
are the only ones who know about it.
I want a good person to know about it.
What is it? Something happened to you. What happened?
I just want someone good to know about it.
I just suddenly wanted to say that.
Jun Hee.
Can I share this secret with someone else?
Not you.
Yes, you can. You totally can.
There are a lot of things I keep from you too.
I think he will just
tell me it's okay.
I think he can make it look like it's not a big deal.
Can I share that with him?
I would be fine even if you never told me.
Just tell Gong Chan about it.
You have to tell him. Okay?
Who's there?
This is Oh Soo Jae speaking.
This is Hong Seok Pal.
Let's meet.
Hey. Do you know what time it is?
Park So Young.
What if I killed her?
What?
Why? Did what I just said get your attention now?
I get it. You're partially responsible
for the way she died.
What are you talking about?
Come find me at Seokpo Fishing Spot now.
(Seokpo Fishing Spot)
(Legal Clinic Center)
I heard it from the coordinator at Park So Young's OB-GYN clinic.
She said the father of the baby was super rich.
Park So Young took a cab in front of the hostess bar.
And I confirmed that
Hong Seok Pal took his car to follow her soon after.
For now, Hong Seok Pal is the prime suspect.
Hong Seok Pal?
(Hyundae Snack Bar, Recreational Boats)
(Gong Chan)
Where are you?
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
I wanted
What?
I wanted to
go to you.
Something happened, right?
- Where are you? - Chan, where are you going?
If you don't know where you are, tell me what you see.
I can find you. Just tell me what you see.
(Why Her?)
Who's Hong Seok Pal?
The owner of the hostess bar Park So Young worked at.
What if he didn't kill himself? Just like Park So Young,
what if it's murder disguised as suicide?
Do you think you're the only one who's worried about Soo Jae?
It infuriates me
that she was all alone when that happened last night.
No, Eun Seo.
Over here! I need help!
He died because of you.
How much do you think you can protect yourself?
The detectives were here.
They came here because they couldn't reach you.
Get her out right now!
That's why I'm here.
Because something bad is going to happen to me soon.
