(Episode 7)
You know Miracle Investment, right?
They're the majority shareholder
of Jaea Construction
that messed with you so nicely
and took over
New Seoul Town's management rights.
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.
You
What?
You're
The majority shareholder hiding
behind Oh Se Hyeon
is you, Do Jun?
Is that it?
Using Chang Je to humiliate me
and taking the New Seoul Town project
That was you, Do Jun?
You used my reluctance
to give up on cars
and used Ahjin Motors as bait
to take Soonyang Motors' shares.
You forced me to buy Hando Steel
at an exorbitant price to drain our funds.
You did all that
with Oh Se Hyeon as a pawn
to toy with me to do this
and that?
The punk who dared to challenge me
was Jin Yang Cheol's youngest grandson.
Jin Do Jun.
Was it really you?
Yes, Grandfather.
They were all
decisions I made
as Miracle's majority shareholder.
Why?
Why did you do such a thing? Why?
Did you think
this would make me
leave Soonyang to you when
you're not my eldest grandson?
No, Grandfather.
I'd like to buy
Soonyang.
What?
I will buy Soonyang.
With my money.
(Reborn Rich)
Who is
Miracle's true owner?
You really don't know?
You got knocked out the moment
you stepped into the ring.
I thought you'd know
all about your opponent by now.
Isn't that the only way you can try
to get your own back?
You're a nicer person than I thought,
Seong Jun.
You don't suit me.
You asked me to see you as a person,
not as a title.
That's my answer.
I want to date a man who suits
the position without being
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's eldest grandson.
Did you
just reject me?
Let's end it on a high note.
So we can smile if we meet again.
You reject me and then say
you'll see me again?
You're interesting to the very end.
What?
You'll buy Soonyang?
With your money?
Did getting your hands on
over ten million dollars
at a young age make you think
money is nothing?
To you, is Soonyang
a large piece of candy
you can get at a corner store?
It's not because money is nothing,
nor because I think lightly of Soonyang.
You started as a delivery boy
at a rice mill in Incheon
and built up Soonyang Group
that pays 200,000 employees.
I know better than anyone
how much sweat and tears
you shed on the way.
One day,
my eldest uncle will become chairman.
The eldest inherits all,
and that's our family's No.
That's your rule.
You know that so well, so why?
But Grandfather.
Will Soonyang then
be the same Soonyang it is now?
Just because he inherited
your family name
doesn't mean he inherited
your entrepreneurship.
You're concerned more than anyone.
Unlike any other founder
of a large company,
you haven't given Uncle anything.
Isn't that the reason?
Do you remember what I said?
Anyone who goes against me,
I never forgive,
whether he be a sibling or a son.
Do you think a grandson is any different?
Go back to studying law.
So it doesn't get in your way,
as of today, I will confiscate your pawn.
If Oh Se Hyeon doesn't egg you on,
you'll grow out of this phase soon enough.
Drop the charges
and have him released, Grandfather.
I'll sign over the business rights
to New Seoul Town's
320,000m² housing complex
to Soonyang Construction.
Do you think that's a valid deal?
You study law
at the best university in Korea,
and you know so little about it.
He was arrested
for bribing the Mayor of Seoul.
Chang Je will be replaced
for taking the bribe,
and Oh Se Hyeon
will be locked up for giving it.
Then New Seoul Town
as a whole will become Soonyang's.
If you ask me to release
Oh Se Hyeon for just 320,000m²,
would I accept the deal?
I haven't even
started bargaining, Grandfather.
Seoul Mayor Choi Chang Je's
emergency press conference
will begin shortly.
Please wait a little longer.
What's the agenda
for this press conference?
Is it urgent enough to hold
an unscheduled press conference?
- Is it about the mayor?
- Please tell us in advance.
- I have a question.
- What's it about?
The mayor will come down
and announce it himself.
Well
The agenda
of the emergency press conference.
You want to know, right, Mr. Lee?
The result of the prosecution's
internal investigation came out.
But there was a real estate
speculation force using
undisclosed internal data
in the New Seoul Town District.
(Seoul Metropolitan City)
(Land Register, Soosaek District,
Eunpyeong-Gu Office, Seoul)
(Land Register)
You see, the family members
of Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki's wife
appeared on that list.
The mayor is involved
in a corruption scandal.
What was that? Oh, the press conference.
Let him hold one numerous times.
Do you think Chang Je has any power?
If Miracle's majority shareholder
giving money to Mayor Choi
turns out to be
Chairman Jin's youngest grandson,
it's a different story.
The daughter-in-law was immersed
in land speculation,
using private internal information.
The youngest grandson committed
a shameless act of bribing
the son-in-law,
the mayor of Seoul, to win
a development project on that land.
People will believe the mastermind
was Soonyang Group's chairman,
Jin Yang Cheol.
To the government that needs
to revitalize real estate policies
as an economic stimulus,
Soonyang will become the guinea pig
they'll punish.
You might never get another chance
in Gangnam reconstruction projects
or various government led
construction projects.
Are you still
going to indict CEO Oh for offering bribes?
To deal with real estate speculators
using undisclosed data,
the Seoul Metropolitan Government
excluded Soosaek District
and only chose Sangam District
as New Seoul Town's development
district target.
Are you not revealing
the list of real estate speculators?
Is it true a high ranking society member
was involved in it?
- Please answer the question.
- We want a statement.
I, Seoul Mayor Choi Chang Je,
will promise you.
I will fulfill my responsibility
so that the homeless common people
no longer shed tears
because of real estate speculators.
Both investigations
on Mayor Choi's bribery scandal
and the real estate speculation
of Vice-Chairman's wife's family
were closed without charges.
Tell me who.
You see
My parents
My family
Are you even
lying to me?
Father.
Your family?
You know what?
Who do you think can make
300 million dollars in cash
with just a phone call
in Korea right now?
Excuse me?
Not me nor Daeyoung Group's Ju Yeong Il.
The financer of Myeong-dong
private loan market, Son Ho Chun.
Your father.
My in-law.
The world is a nasty place, no?
Those who need urgent money
suck up to your father.
But behind his back,
they point fingers at him
for being a loan shark.
Even so,
there's one thing your father never does.
Do you know what that is?
The only way he makes money
is by lending money.
He never look elsewhere. Why?
Because that's the financer Son Ho Chun's
honour and pride.
You're his daughter.
How come you know so little about him?
Who was it?
Who was it that egged you on
to use your family names
to speculate these lands? Tell me.
Tell me who it was!
(Sangam and Soosaek
District Development Plan)
Grandfather is
in the second floor study, right?
Why do you ask?
I have something to tell him.
Gosh, not now.
I don't know what it's about,
but do it later.
After telling your mother off,
he summoned your father.
If you get dragged in for no reason,
I will be too upset to do anything.
It's all my fault, Father.
I had this burning desire
to make up for the loss caused
when acquiring Hando Steel
and couldn't stop myself.
Was that the only solution
you could think of?
Don't you know
what the world is like today?
What are you? A pheasant's baby?
Did you think nobody would know if
you kept your head down?
Enough. Get up now.
A man shouldn't go down
on his knees so quickly.
Here.
It might rain, Father.
You know, right?
That my knees are more accurate
than the weather center.
You should bundle up
when you leave for work tomorrow.
It will be tough on you for a while
if your asthma relapses.
I'm here, Uncle.
Gosh, my youngest nephew.
I'm glad I listened to you
and came up with a plan.
But how did you think of it
at such a young age?
Well, not everyone can become
a majority shareholder of Miracle.
It's just an investment
as a way of studying.
If you're interested in business,
why not join Soonyang?
You know my family situation.
Grandfather excluded me
from the succession order.
Really, he's an impossible man.
Once he loses trust in someone,
he sees the end of them.
Geez. He'll try to drag me down
throughout my term.
(Seoul Metropolitan City)
It worries me.
Then
soar high enough so he can't drag you down.
Me, who doesn't even have
a base in the party?
How high can I go up?
To the highest end
with the support of the people.
If 7,000 houses are supplied
through the New Seoul Town project,
it will be a great help to solve
the real estate problem.
What's more, DMC Construction
is the symbol
of advanced technology and business.
If the mayor of Seoul
solves the problem
of people's livelihoods
and has a vision for the future,
where else should he advance to
other than the Blue House?
Do Jun.
New Seoul Town and DMC.
Presidential candidate Choi Chang Je.
It'll become
your biggest achievement, Uncle.
Mayor Choi Chang Je
is going to become the president?
Do you really think
he'll become a presidential candidate?
It's like I prescribed him a sedative.
Mayor Choi.
This was the first time he won
against those he feared.
He must feel as anxious
as his sense of achievement.
I had to blind him
with a greater ambition
to get rid of that fear.
We need to use him as our man
until the completion of DMC.
Here.
Instead of tofu, since you're from the US.
Be honest with me.
You're not 22, right?
If I rip off that good looking mask,
maybe I'll find
a 40-year-old man inside you.
Or is this your second life?
Tell me which one it is.
You said partners
must be honest with each other.
It's both of them.
Stop bluffing.
Forget it. You're in your 20s.
Why did you do it?
The land in Soosaek District
- was my
- Your grandfather.
He will forgive me.
But not you.
Be very careful not to do anything
that'll make you lose
your grandfather's trust.
You know what I mean, don't you?
The only asset I have
is you.
The house and company
are your grandfather's.
But I
only have you.
The eldest grandson of this family.
It's raining, Seong Jun.
The sky is so fickle.
It's so hard to get along with.
My sin
runs deep.
In this whole world,
the only father who made his son
live a sentence
and turned him into a cripple was me.
What should be blamed
is that period.
During the military regime,
someone had to take responsibility
so long as Soonyang was the target.
You simply
did your utmost best
to protect the group
by offering Soonyang Transportation.
I will make sure
word doesn't travel outside
regarding Do Jun's matter.
Why?
Have I lost face even
in your eyes, Hang Jae?
(Soonyang Group)
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol.
Your children will never succeed
Soonyang.
Let me help you, Mother.
I can finish it on my own in no time.
I know what to do. Look.
Snap. Like that.
Thanks to your great family love,
I lost my beloved family.
Now,
I have become incapable
of returning to my family.
I will never allow
your children to share Soonyang
happily and at peace.
This is the real reason
I'm trying to buy Soonyang.
(Soonyang Hospital)
If you don't have any plans
in the afternoon,
I'll prepare several checkups
since you've come all the way here.
Why?
Did you purchase a new piece
of expensive equipment?
Excuse me?
- Mr. Lee.
- Yes?
Give Director Jung a bonus.
Gosh. You're good at business.
And with a rich old man to boot.
In that case, please give me
an envelope full of money.
But I'm not here as the head
of the group today.
Not as a patient, either.
I came as a guardian.
He's so weak.
Will he be able to act
as a proper chairman after I die?
I'm worried.
From what you see,
is Vice-Chairman Jin the son
who resembles you the most?
I thought you were handing over
your position to the son
who took after you the most in the end.
Are you going to
stick to primogeniture until the end?
Who is it?
The one who resembles me.
Is there even one who does?
Even if there is one,
my children won't accept it.
They will torture and fight each other
until their last breath.
Isn't that a fiery pit?
The fiery pit is for me
to go to after my death
and not my living children.
Oh, right. When is the meeting
with the presidents
of the subsidiary companies?
It's at 3pm.
Do you have something else to do?
Yes, I do.
Father. What brings you here?
Why aren't you keeping your promise?
Sorry?
When you married someone I disapproved.
When you jumped into the movie industry
instead of the family business.
Do you know remember what you told me?
"I will live as a person who has nothing
to do with Soonyang."
That was my promise.
Then why?
Why?
Why are you breaking it now?
At least you know how shameless you are.
You're using your son
rather than involving yourself.
What are you talking about, Father?
Your son, Do Jin.
He declared he was going to buy Soonyang.
In front of me.
- Mr. Lee.
- Yes, sir.
(Power of Attorney, Jin Yoon Ki)
These are the documents necessary
for the ownership transfer
of Soonyang Public Welfare Foundation
connected to Soonyang Medical Center
and HR Development Center.
Father!
What?
Is that not enough?
You barely know your own son, don't you?
I'm scared.
Scared that I might become
a father like you.
The one who had abandoned me
and left Soonyang
was you, Yoon Ki.
Don't have your son
come begging to me again.
You know, Do Jun
made Father speechless.
You should read this.
You have such poor political sense.
Are you sure you can even be re-elected?
What?
He gave Soonyang Public Welfare Foundation
to Yoon Ki's family.
Do you know what this means?
That's for the medical center
and HR Development Center.
It's not worth much.
"This is all you can have from Soonyang,
Yoon Ki."
He declared this.
My goodness.
Do Do Jun and Yoon Ki know
about this hidden meaning?
Do Jun is
facing a dead end.
I see.
It won't do you good to stay close to him.
Are you done eating? Gosh.
Hwa Young.
You left behind your bag.
I have social status
and dignity to uphold now,
so please carry this.
What are your social status and dignity?
Come on.
Your husband who loves you.
That's right.
My gosh.
Thank you for your hard work.
Good job.
Father gave the medical center
and HR Development Center
to Yoon Ki.
Why did he do that?
Why? Why all of a sudden?
As soon as he secured enough money
for the succession.
This is
No.
It's a sign for him
to start the succession.
CEO Jin Yoon Ki isn't important.
You should keep an eye
on Junior Managing Director Jin Seong Jun.
You're right.
Since Chairman Jin
is insistent on primogeniture.
- Are you sleeping?
- No, Grandfather.
Come in.
(New Seoul Town
Digital Media City Development Plan)
(New Seoul Town
Digital Media City Development Plan)
Someone told me
that I need to know well
about my opponent
to take revenge.
Did losing the bidding
of the New Seoul Town project
make you very upset?
I learned a lot.
If the opponent wins, I become the loser.
I realized that painfully on the field.
My eldest grandson,
Do you
want to get your revenge?
Miracle Investment, Rachael speaking.
Hello, CTV. Sorry?
For 4.7 billion dollars
that is needed for the construction
of New Seoul Town DMC,
we'll cover the cost with project finance.
For that
It must be important to prove
the business value of DMC.
That's right.
If we seal the deal with cable channels,
film studios,
and media related academic organizations
earlier on as planned,
the business value can be proved.
If the rate of return is 20 percent,
we'll get 940 million dollars.
Miracle Investment can buy 2 percent
of Soonyang Corporation's shares.
Let me ask one thing.
Why do you have to buy Soonyang?
You can simply get in Chairman Jin's
good grace and succeed the company.
People are strange.
They cannot stand the Kim family
of North Korea
succeeding the power.
But why do they think nothing of it
when the grandchild of a chairman
succeeds the management rights
in South Korea?
In the end,
both did not prove
that they were qualified.
You speak as if it's not your business.
Young expat,
you're a grandchild of a chairman too.
We've got a problem.
The cable channels and film studios
that were going to move into DMC called
to say they will cancel the plan.
CTV, HNet, KCN,
and all the film studios.
All of them at once?
Wait.
What's the reason?
A big advertiser demanded
that they withdraw.
Or else, they would stop all ads
from their affiliates
and even production support.
An advertiser?
If they're getting
their affiliates involved,
it means they're a big conglomerate.
All cable channels and film studios
that were planning to move
into DMC decided
to retract the plan.
I heard media related academic
organizations
were going to move in as well.
They are scholars who only study.
How did you persuade them?
I promised them industry academic
cooperation, research grant,
and overseas training.
Okay.
Supporting academics
is a way for a company
to contribute to society as well.
- I will remember that.
- Good.
Goodness, DMC is going to end
even before they start the construction.
What should we do?
It's your uncle's first business
after he became the mayor.
I'll meet him.
- Will you?
- Yes.
Families help each other
when they're in trouble.
Seong Jun,
how are things going with her?
The daughter of Hyunsung Daily's CEO.
Why isn't there any news
about your marriage?
Do you guys not get along?
No, Grandfather.
We're seeing each other well.
Is that so?
A man who manages his family well
does business well too.
My eldest grandson is all grown up.
Okay.
What do you think, Hang Jae?
It will serve
as a strong warning to Do Jun.
If the DMC project doesn't work out,
Miracle Investment
will suffer a heavy blow
because they spent
a lot on the initial investment.
I mean Seong Jun.
My eldest grandson.
He was better
than the CEOs of the affiliates.
He catches on quickly
to the hidden meaning of your words.
Thank goodness
that Young Ki has
a smart son like Seong Jun.
- Really?
- Yes.
Chairman Jin is taking Seong Jun with him?
According to the Secretary's Office,
that is right.
Call Seong Jun's office.
I should eat with him.
Well
Wouldn't it be better for him
to position himself
as Chairman Jin's grandson
rather than your son?
"Chairman Jin started teaching
his favourite grandson"
"for him to succeed his place."
This kind of an image.
So I can't even call my son as it is?
I'm sorry. I acted out of line.
Human Resource Department.
Kim Ju Ryeon of Secretary's Office.
Change his post right now.
A deputy manager-level secretary
dedicated to Vice-Chairman.
Thank you, sir!
I'll pledge my allegiance to you.
Is this really Korea?
Not the Republic of Soonyang?
How can they give up on moving into DMC
with just one word from Soonyang?
Cable channels , film studios,
and even academic organizations.
It's not one word. It's money.
There are only 830,000 paid subscribers
of cable channels.
The advertising industry died out
because of the IMF crisis.
An advertiser like Soonyang
is like their king.
You need to listen
to your king to be saved, no?
Not to mention film studios
which Soonyang can interfere
with investment and distribution.
Soonyang's money is spread
all around Korea
like blood vessels.
That's how Soonyang can move Korea.
Why is high and mighty
Soonyang interfering
with a trivial matter like moving into DMC?
He answered
to my declaration of war.
It's Mayor Choi Chang Je.
Hello.
Is it true?
(Digital Media City)
I heard all the broadcasting stations
and media-related companies
that were supposed to move into DMC
withdrew their plan.
Are you going to give up on DMC,
which is the landmark
of New Seoul Town?
The DMC project won't fall through.
Digital Media Center
is a future business
that Miracle Investment
is conducting with confidence.
We're planning to look
for other broadcasting stations
and media companies
who wish to move in
before the construction starts.
Keep your word.
I'll keep my word with Seoul's citizens.
If there isn't any broadcasting station
willing to move in
before the construction starts,
I'm going to hand over the DMC business
to another company.
To a construction company bigger
and more powerful
than Miracle Investment.
You're the one who taught me
what the DMC project means
to Choi Chang Je, the mayor of Seoul.
Please do a good job. I'm hanging up.
What did Mayor Choi say?
He taught me
why Soonyang interfered so hard
with the companies moving into DMC.
Mayor Choi is planning
to hand over the DMC project to Soonyang.
The New Seoul Town project
comes back to the company
it belongs to, Uncle.
I should give you a boost
when I have the power.
Once the DMC project becomes successful,
your position in the company
will become more solid.
"Jin Seong Jun didn't get the post
just for being Chairman's grandson."
Let's show them. Yes?
I understand why Grandfather
was against it.
I guess everyone becomes like this
when they're drunk in power.
What?
You can't tell what situation
you're in now, can you?
No.
It's not you but I
and Soonyang
that have your life in our hands,
Mayor Choi Chang Je.
Nephew.
New Seoul Town project was dirtied
with real estate speculation
from the start.
Imagine the DMC project
worth almost five billion dollars
falling through.
Won't you end up as a Seoul mayor
who became a lame duck
as soon as your term started?
I
Grandfather is giving you one more chance.
Because you're his family.
If you need the power of Soonyang,
don't hesitate to ask.
Come to Jeongsimjae to ask.
As you always did.
You'll buy Soonyang? With your money?
Do you think you can buy it with money?
Try it then.
But pay a lot for it.
You're drinking? You should be.
You're about to lose two percent
of Soonyang Corporation's shares.
But don't drink so much yet.
You'll want to drink more
after listening to this.
Looking for companies
that can move into DMC is
rather simple, actually.
We just need to look
for broadcasting stations
that can be financially independent
without Soonyang's ads.
And what's that station?
There's none.
Seriously
Stations that have enough influence
to move into DMC
are all managed by Soonyang.
It got me thinking
that Digital Media City,
your ambitious work,
might be too early for Korea as of now.
What do you mean?
I promised to be honest as a partner,
so I'll tell you.
Before deciding on what to invest,
I always look at this cheat sheet.
A cheat sheet?
I don't mean complex figures
with difficult names
like the stock market index,
economic growth rate,
and current account balance.
I look at the real economic index
that can be seen at once.
- What is that?
- Signboards.
Signboards are your cheat sheets?
You can see everything from signboards.
The flow of market, consumers' needs,
and the outlook of an industry.
So signboards, no
So what does today's cheat sheet say?
Look.
All the new signboards on the streets
are for internet cafés.
Does this make sense?
Is this truly a country
that wants to become the IT powerhouse?
I've never seen an internet café
in New York, not once.
Things have advanced so much,
so why do people still
not have a computer at home
that they need to go to internet cafés?
This is why
Digital Media City won't happen.
("99 Pro-gamer Korea Open")
There's nobody to defend it now.
(Internet café)
(Internet café)
(Internet café)
Your cheat sheet is correct, Mr. Oh.
You can run a broadcasting station
without Soonyang's ads.
It might even gain enough influence
to move into DMC.
There's such a station?
Where?
(Digital Media City)
Is E-sports even possible?
Game companies weren't interested
in online game relay broadcasting
that we offered.
Gosh.
But maybe
because their target audience matches,
a cartoon broadcasting station
is showing interest.
And they will actively accommodate
our suggestion to minimize
the profit from ads and earn
from gamers' subscription fee
and relay rights instead.
- I see.
- Okay.
Right, one more thing.
They have a condition.
Regarding the move into DMC
Miracle's D double-J.
They want to discuss with you,
the majority shareholder.
- The majority shareholder?
- Yes.
(Modern Gallery, Exhibition in progress)
Miracle Investment's majority shareholder,
Jin Do Jun.
What's going on?
I'm here to meet the representative
of a game company
who will move into DMC.
I'm that representative.
My uncle has a broadcasting station
that mainly airs animations.
I heard Miracle Investment was looking
for a gaming channel,
so I asked him for a favour.
Reorganization and composition of staff.
They're all completed.
I'm qualified enough to be here, right?
Do you take after your mother?
You were pretty talented in acting.
You said you weren't interested
in succeeding Soonyang.
But you're standing in front of me
as the majority shareholder
of Miracle Investment.
How did you find out?
I told you.
Hyunsung Daily is good
at getting information.
Think about it.
The power to move public opinion.
Chairman Jin would want
a lot more than that
to join hands with my family.
I'm not the one
he wants to marry off to you.
We're getting ready
to start broadcasting channels
for Hyunsung Daily's financial
and sports magazines.
I already have my father's permission.
First, we'll move Hyunsung Daily's HQ
to DMC.
Then we'll get ready
to open the channels at DMC.
Then Miracle won't have any problems
with the construction
and parcelling out of DMC.
Four channels
and Hyunsung Daily too?
Now, do you understand
why you really need me?
What do you say?
I'd say it's an irresistible proposition.
It sure is a proposition
I can't turn down.
(Exhibition in progress)
What would you like to order, sir?
Well
Vienna coffee,
without cinnamon.
That's what Min Yeong
always ordered for you. Right?
Is she not here today? I don't see her.
Oh, I guess you didn't know.
Min Yeong quit to start studying
for the bar exam.
She said everyone in her family
passed the bar while in school.
Really?
All right, then.
Here.
Oh, you can use it next time.
Oh
There will be no next time.
What would you like
Oh, do you work here part-time?
Like someone once told me,
I don't want to take my privileges
for granted anymore, sir.
I thought about it,
and you weren't entirely wrong.
I'm glad I learned the lesson
before I began a career in law.
And for that, I'm grateful.
My gosh. You seem quite touched
by what I said, sir.
Your name tag is upside down.
(Seo Min Yeong)
Vienna coffee, please.
How much is it? 1.20 dollars?
It's 1.20 dollars.
Without cinnamon, please.
You owe me 80 cents.
Yes.
Hello.
I used to work here.
Here's the key for the supply storage room.
- I forgot to return it.
- I see.
Oh, he was here a few moments ago.
Why didn't you tell him that you quit?
He came all the way here for nothing.
Who? Who was here?
You know, the guy who always
gets Vienna coffee.
When I told him you quit,
he looked like he'd just gotten dumped
or something.
It sure is a proposition
I can't turn down.
So what can I offer?
For every deal, there's a price to pay.
You know this too.
We'll be
good partners.
"Good partners?"
So in a nutshell,
you want me to do as you say,
let you keep me on a leash,
and obey your family's advice
at all times
just so you can
become the granddaughter-in-law
of the Soonyang family,
while knowing that I'm being tailed
and watched by people you hired.
- That's
- To me,
it sounds like you want to own me
before you own Soonyang.
I'm afraid I must decline your proposition,
Ms. Mo Hyeon Min.
I have no interest in becoming your puppet.
(From Jin Seong Jun)
I'm waiting for the day we can meet again.
From Jin Seong Jun.
I didn't know I'd see it again so soon.
Your smile, Ms. Mo Hyeon Min.
We promised to meet again
with smiles on our faces.
Today is
that day, right?
Oh, yes!
Men's premium underwear!
A five-piece trunk set is
Hyeong Jun.
I was wondering what you were watching.
A home-shopping channel?
Do not let your guard down.
You startled me.
It'll sell out the moment
you let your guard down.
A spectacular action-thriller that
keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Coming to theaters this summer.
It'll surpass your imagination
in every possible way.
A fantastic adventure movie.
"Home Shopping."
Hyeong Jun only watches
shopping channels these days.
Hey, you don't need a lot of stuff.
Hey, shopping isn't about
buying things you need.
It's all about buying things you want.
Do you understand, my little brother?
- Do Jun.
- Yes.
Your father wants to speak
to you about something.
Your grandfather was here.
Soonyang Public Welfare Foundation
at Soonyang Medical Center
and HR Development Center.
Your grandfather handed it over to us.
(Power of Attorney, Jin Yoon Ki)
It's a warning.
Your grandfather is warning us
not to get greedy
over Soonyang.
- Father
- I heard everything.
I'm sorry I couldn't give you a heads up.
Must you
go against your grandfather's wishes?
I understand why you're worried.
You know better than anyone how scary
Grandfather can be.
I understand that you're against it.
Let's do it.
I looked into it.
I think I can afford to acquire
a cable movie channel
for DMC.
Although it won't be of much help.
Always remember
that I've got your back, Do Jun.
Honey, did you decide
to give in and let Do Jun have his way?
Honey, it's
You two.
Promise me.
Do Jun, promise me that
you'll never become like
everyone on
your father's side of the family.
And you, honey. Promise me
that you'll protect Do Jun.
So your father and siblings
can't hurt our son.
The 4th son
of Chairman Jin Yang Cheol, 4-0.
His wife, 4-alpha.
And me,
Jin Do Jun.
They're my parents.
(Groom Jin Seong Jun, Bride Mo Hyeon Min)
I should get a wedding gift
for my eldest grandson.
Is there anything you need?
We'll start out at Jeongsimjae,
so we don't need anything.
No, don't say that.
You are becoming a real adult, Seong Jun.
I must do something for you.
Tell me what you want.
Then, Grandfather.
Please give me the right to play a part
as one of the adults in the family.
As one of the adults in the family?
It's no big deal.
It's about taking responsibility.
If Seong Jun wishes
to share the burden with us,
he should get some shares too.
Right, Dong Ki?
Yes, sure thing.
So? Did Father say he'd give him some?
Of course.
I think he wants to announce it
at the reception
when the whole family is there.
Hwa Young.
Have a drink with me at the reception.
It's been too long.
Sounds like it'll be a coronation ceremony,
not a wedding.
Will Father really announce
at the wedding that
Seong Jun is next in line for the throne?
Of course,
Seong Jun is his eldest grandson.
Your father will take great care of him.
All right. Don't be late.
I'll see you at the wedding.
About Seong Jun's fiancée.
I should ask her to visit us tomorrow.
Why? Do you already want to be
an overbearing mother-in-law?
No, I want to be
a good daughter-in-law to you.
All your paintings are too good
to be just kept in this room.
You should have a solo show.
Your granddaughter-in-law runs a gallery.
Gosh, stop. A solo show? Please.
This is just a hobby.
Don't be so modest.
You should think about it, Mother.
Jeong Rae, has Mr. Yang called?
He said he'd be home by lunch.
How come he's not back yet?
Oh, you're right.
Father always calls
if he's going to be home late.
I received a call from Jeongsimjae.
They're asking
when the chairman will be home.
What should I tell them, sir?
We found
a brain arteriovenous malformation, sir.
Will surgery fix it?
The thing is
The location is quite risky
if we were to perform surgery.
So I have no choice
but to rely on luck.
Is that it?
We will do our very best
to monitor it closely.
In my head,
there is a ticking time bomb
waiting to go off.
(Reborn Rich)
As you ordered,
I prepared a share transfer agreement
for Mr. Jin Seong Jun.
Sir!
(Share Transfer Agreement)
Don't you know whom I love the most
out of all my children?
What on earth did you do?
The one who can make Soonyang bigger
and better than I can
will get everything.
That Do Jun takes after me.
Do you think that makes sense?
Grandfather, you were right.
I've given up on my goal
of buying Soonyang with my money.
Do not step over the line!
You guys are different from us.
Don't you dare delude yourself
into thinking
that you can be a rightful heir.

(Episode 7)
You know Miracle Investment, right?
They're the majority shareholder
of Jaea Construction
that messed with you so nicely
and took over
New Seoul Town's management rights.
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.
You
What?
You're
The majority shareholder hiding
behind Oh Se Hyeon
is you, Do Jun?
Is that it?
Using Chang Je to humiliate me
and taking the New Seoul Town project
That was you, Do Jun?
You used my reluctance
to give up on cars
and used Ahjin Motors as bait
to take Soonyang Motors' shares.
You forced me to buy Hando Steel
at an exorbitant price to drain our funds.
You did all that
with Oh Se Hyeon as a pawn
to toy with me to do this
and that?
The punk who dared to challenge me
was Jin Yang Cheol's youngest grandson.
Jin Do Jun.
Was it really you?
Yes, Grandfather.
They were all
decisions I made
as Miracle's majority shareholder.
Why?
Why did you do such a thing? Why?
Did you think
this would make me
leave Soonyang to you when
you're not my eldest grandson?
No, Grandfather.
I'd like to buy
Soonyang.
What?
I will buy Soonyang.
With my money.
(Reborn Rich)
Who is
Miracle's true owner?
You really don't know?
You got knocked out the moment
you stepped into the ring.
I thought you'd know
all about your opponent by now.
Isn't that the only way you can try
to get your own back?
You're a nicer person than I thought,
Seong Jun.
You don't suit me.
You asked me to see you as a person,
not as a title.
That's my answer.
I want to date a man who suits
the position without being
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's eldest grandson.
Did you
just reject me?
Let's end it on a high note.
So we can smile if we meet again.
You reject me and then say
you'll see me again?
You're interesting to the very end.
What?
You'll buy Soonyang?
With your money?
Did getting your hands on
over ten million dollars
at a young age make you think
money is nothing?
To you, is Soonyang
a large piece of candy
you can get at a corner store?
It's not because money is nothing,
nor because I think lightly of Soonyang.
You started as a delivery boy
at a rice mill in Incheon
and built up Soonyang Group
that pays 200,000 employees.
I know better than anyone
how much sweat and tears
you shed on the way.
One day,
my eldest uncle will become chairman.
The eldest inherits all,
and that's our family's No.
That's your rule.
You know that so well, so why?
But Grandfather.
Will Soonyang then
be the same Soonyang it is now?
Just because he inherited
your family name
doesn't mean he inherited
your entrepreneurship.
You're concerned more than anyone.
Unlike any other founder
of a large company,
you haven't given Uncle anything.
Isn't that the reason?
Do you remember what I said?
Anyone who goes against me,
I never forgive,
whether he be a sibling or a son.
Do you think a grandson is any different?
Go back to studying law.
So it doesn't get in your way,
as of today, I will confiscate your pawn.
If Oh Se Hyeon doesn't egg you on,
you'll grow out of this phase soon enough.
Drop the charges
and have him released, Grandfather.
I'll sign over the business rights
to New Seoul Town's
320,000m² housing complex
to Soonyang Construction.
Do you think that's a valid deal?
You study law
at the best university in Korea,
and you know so little about it.
He was arrested
for bribing the Mayor of Seoul.
Chang Je will be replaced
for taking the bribe,
and Oh Se Hyeon
will be locked up for giving it.
Then New Seoul Town
as a whole will become Soonyang's.
If you ask me to release
Oh Se Hyeon for just 320,000m²,
would I accept the deal?
I haven't even
started bargaining, Grandfather.
Seoul Mayor Choi Chang Je's
emergency press conference
will begin shortly.
Please wait a little longer.
What's the agenda
for this press conference?
Is it urgent enough to hold
an unscheduled press conference?
- Is it about the mayor?
- Please tell us in advance.
- I have a question.
- What's it about?
The mayor will come down
and announce it himself.
Well
The agenda
of the emergency press conference.
You want to know, right, Mr. Lee?
The result of the prosecution's
internal investigation came out.
But there was a real estate
speculation force using
undisclosed internal data
in the New Seoul Town District.
(Seoul Metropolitan City)
(Land Register, Soosaek District,
Eunpyeong-Gu Office, Seoul)
(Land Register)
You see, the family members
of Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki's wife
appeared on that list.
The mayor is involved
in a corruption scandal.
What was that? Oh, the press conference.
Let him hold one numerous times.
Do you think Chang Je has any power?
If Miracle's majority shareholder
giving money to Mayor Choi
turns out to be
Chairman Jin's youngest grandson,
it's a different story.
The daughter-in-law was immersed
in land speculation,
using private internal information.
The youngest grandson committed
a shameless act of bribing
the son-in-law,
the mayor of Seoul, to win
a development project on that land.
People will believe the mastermind
was Soonyang Group's chairman,
Jin Yang Cheol.
To the government that needs
to revitalize real estate policies
as an economic stimulus,
Soonyang will become the guinea pig
they'll punish.
You might never get another chance
in Gangnam reconstruction projects
or various government led
construction projects.
Are you still
going to indict CEO Oh for offering bribes?
To deal with real estate speculators
using undisclosed data,
the Seoul Metropolitan Government
excluded Soosaek District
and only chose Sangam District
as New Seoul Town's development
district target.
Are you not revealing
the list of real estate speculators?
Is it true a high ranking society member
was involved in it?
- Please answer the question.
- We want a statement.
I, Seoul Mayor Choi Chang Je,
will promise you.
I will fulfill my responsibility
so that the homeless common people
no longer shed tears
because of real estate speculators.
Both investigations
on Mayor Choi's bribery scandal
and the real estate speculation
of Vice-Chairman's wife's family
were closed without charges.
Tell me who.
You see
My parents
My family
Are you even
lying to me?
Father.
Your family?
You know what?
Who do you think can make
300 million dollars in cash
with just a phone call
in Korea right now?
Excuse me?
Not me nor Daeyoung Group's Ju Yeong Il.
The financer of Myeong-dong
private loan market, Son Ho Chun.
Your father.
My in-law.
The world is a nasty place, no?
Those who need urgent money
suck up to your father.
But behind his back,
they point fingers at him
for being a loan shark.
Even so,
there's one thing your father never does.
Do you know what that is?
The only way he makes money
is by lending money.
He never look elsewhere. Why?
Because that's the financer Son Ho Chun's
honour and pride.
You're his daughter.
How come you know so little about him?
Who was it?
Who was it that egged you on
to use your family names
to speculate these lands? Tell me.
Tell me who it was!
(Sangam and Soosaek
District Development Plan)
Grandfather is
in the second floor study, right?
Why do you ask?
I have something to tell him.
Gosh, not now.
I don't know what it's about,
but do it later.
After telling your mother off,
he summoned your father.
If you get dragged in for no reason,
I will be too upset to do anything.
It's all my fault, Father.
I had this burning desire
to make up for the loss caused
when acquiring Hando Steel
and couldn't stop myself.
Was that the only solution
you could think of?
Don't you know
what the world is like today?
What are you? A pheasant's baby?
Did you think nobody would know if
you kept your head down?
Enough. Get up now.
A man shouldn't go down
on his knees so quickly.
Here.
It might rain, Father.
You know, right?
That my knees are more accurate
than the weather center.
You should bundle up
when you leave for work tomorrow.
It will be tough on you for a while
if your asthma relapses.
I'm here, Uncle.
Gosh, my youngest nephew.
I'm glad I listened to you
and came up with a plan.
But how did you think of it
at such a young age?
Well, not everyone can become
a majority shareholder of Miracle.
It's just an investment
as a way of studying.
If you're interested in business,
why not join Soonyang?
You know my family situation.
Grandfather excluded me
from the succession order.
Really, he's an impossible man.
Once he loses trust in someone,
he sees the end of them.
Geez. He'll try to drag me down
throughout my term.
(Seoul Metropolitan City)
It worries me.
Then
soar high enough so he can't drag you down.
Me, who doesn't even have
a base in the party?
How high can I go up?
To the highest end
with the support of the people.
If 7,000 houses are supplied
through the New Seoul Town project,
it will be a great help to solve
the real estate problem.
What's more, DMC Construction
is the symbol
of advanced technology and business.
If the mayor of Seoul
solves the problem
of people's livelihoods
and has a vision for the future,
where else should he advance to
other than the Blue House?
Do Jun.
New Seoul Town and DMC.
Presidential candidate Choi Chang Je.
It'll become
your biggest achievement, Uncle.
Mayor Choi Chang Je
is going to become the president?
Do you really think
he'll become a presidential candidate?
It's like I prescribed him a sedative.
Mayor Choi.
This was the first time he won
against those he feared.
He must feel as anxious
as his sense of achievement.
I had to blind him
with a greater ambition
to get rid of that fear.
We need to use him as our man
until the completion of DMC.
Here.
Instead of tofu, since you're from the US.
Be honest with me.
You're not 22, right?
If I rip off that good looking mask,
maybe I'll find
a 40-year-old man inside you.
Or is this your second life?
Tell me which one it is.
You said partners
must be honest with each other.
It's both of them.
Stop bluffing.
Forget it. You're in your 20s.
Why did you do it?
The land in Soosaek District
- was my
- Your grandfather.
He will forgive me.
But not you.
Be very careful not to do anything
that'll make you lose
your grandfather's trust.
You know what I mean, don't you?
The only asset I have
is you.
The house and company
are your grandfather's.
But I
only have you.
The eldest grandson of this family.
It's raining, Seong Jun.
The sky is so fickle.
It's so hard to get along with.
My sin
runs deep.
In this whole world,
the only father who made his son
live a sentence
and turned him into a cripple was me.
What should be blamed
is that period.
During the military regime,
someone had to take responsibility
so long as Soonyang was the target.
You simply
did your utmost best
to protect the group
by offering Soonyang Transportation.
I will make sure
word doesn't travel outside
regarding Do Jun's matter.
Why?
Have I lost face even
in your eyes, Hang Jae?
(Soonyang Group)
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol.
Your children will never succeed
Soonyang.
Let me help you, Mother.
I can finish it on my own in no time.
I know what to do. Look.
Snap. Like that.
Thanks to your great family love,
I lost my beloved family.
Now,
I have become incapable
of returning to my family.
I will never allow
your children to share Soonyang
happily and at peace.
This is the real reason
I'm trying to buy Soonyang.
(Soonyang Hospital)
If you don't have any plans
in the afternoon,
I'll prepare several checkups
since you've come all the way here.
Why?
Did you purchase a new piece
of expensive equipment?
Excuse me?
- Mr. Lee.
- Yes?
Give Director Jung a bonus.
Gosh. You're good at business.
And with a rich old man to boot.
In that case, please give me
an envelope full of money.
But I'm not here as the head
of the group today.
Not as a patient, either.
I came as a guardian.
He's so weak.
Will he be able to act
as a proper chairman after I die?
I'm worried.
From what you see,
is Vice-Chairman Jin the son
who resembles you the most?
I thought you were handing over
your position to the son
who took after you the most in the end.
Are you going to
stick to primogeniture until the end?
Who is it?
The one who resembles me.
Is there even one who does?
Even if there is one,
my children won't accept it.
They will torture and fight each other
until their last breath.
Isn't that a fiery pit?
The fiery pit is for me
to go to after my death
and not my living children.
Oh, right. When is the meeting
with the presidents
of the subsidiary companies?
It's at 3pm.
Do you have something else to do?
Yes, I do.
Father. What brings you here?
Why aren't you keeping your promise?
Sorry?
When you married someone I disapproved.
When you jumped into the movie industry
instead of the family business.
Do you know remember what you told me?
"I will live as a person who has nothing
to do with Soonyang."
That was my promise.
Then why?
Why?
Why are you breaking it now?
At least you know how shameless you are.
You're using your son
rather than involving yourself.
What are you talking about, Father?
Your son, Do Jin.
He declared he was going to buy Soonyang.
In front of me.
- Mr. Lee.
- Yes, sir.
(Power of Attorney, Jin Yoon Ki)
These are the documents necessary
for the ownership transfer
of Soonyang Public Welfare Foundation
connected to Soonyang Medical Center
and HR Development Center.
Father!
What?
Is that not enough?
You barely know your own son, don't you?
I'm scared.
Scared that I might become
a father like you.
The one who had abandoned me
and left Soonyang
was you, Yoon Ki.
Don't have your son
come begging to me again.
You know, Do Jun
made Father speechless.
You should read this.
You have such poor political sense.
Are you sure you can even be re-elected?
What?
He gave Soonyang Public Welfare Foundation
to Yoon Ki's family.
Do you know what this means?
That's for the medical center
and HR Development Center.
It's not worth much.
"This is all you can have from Soonyang,
Yoon Ki."
He declared this.
My goodness.
Do Do Jun and Yoon Ki know
about this hidden meaning?
Do Jun is
facing a dead end.
I see.
It won't do you good to stay close to him.
Are you done eating? Gosh.
Hwa Young.
You left behind your bag.
I have social status
and dignity to uphold now,
so please carry this.
What are your social status and dignity?
Come on.
Your husband who loves you.
That's right.
My gosh.
Thank you for your hard work.
Good job.
Father gave the medical center
and HR Development Center
to Yoon Ki.
Why did he do that?
Why? Why all of a sudden?
As soon as he secured enough money
for the succession.
This is
No.
It's a sign for him
to start the succession.
CEO Jin Yoon Ki isn't important.
You should keep an eye
on Junior Managing Director Jin Seong Jun.
You're right.
Since Chairman Jin
is insistent on primogeniture.
- Are you sleeping?
- No, Grandfather.
Come in.
(New Seoul Town
Digital Media City Development Plan)
(New Seoul Town
Digital Media City Development Plan)
Someone told me
that I need to know well
about my opponent
to take revenge.
Did losing the bidding
of the New Seoul Town project
make you very upset?
I learned a lot.
If the opponent wins, I become the loser.
I realized that painfully on the field.
My eldest grandson,
Do you
want to get your revenge?
Miracle Investment, Rachael speaking.
Hello, CTV. Sorry?
For 4.7 billion dollars
that is needed for the construction
of New Seoul Town DMC,
we'll cover the cost with project finance.
For that
It must be important to prove
the business value of DMC.
That's right.
If we seal the deal with cable channels,
film studios,
and media related academic organizations
earlier on as planned,
the business value can be proved.
If the rate of return is 20 percent,
we'll get 940 million dollars.
Miracle Investment can buy 2 percent
of Soonyang Corporation's shares.
Let me ask one thing.
Why do you have to buy Soonyang?
You can simply get in Chairman Jin's
good grace and succeed the company.
People are strange.
They cannot stand the Kim family
of North Korea
succeeding the power.
But why do they think nothing of it
when the grandchild of a chairman
succeeds the management rights
in South Korea?
In the end,
both did not prove
that they were qualified.
You speak as if it's not your business.
Young expat,
you're a grandchild of a chairman too.
We've got a problem.
The cable channels and film studios
that were going to move into DMC called
to say they will cancel the plan.
CTV, HNet, KCN,
and all the film studios.
All of them at once?
Wait.
What's the reason?
A big advertiser demanded
that they withdraw.
Or else, they would stop all ads
from their affiliates
and even production support.
An advertiser?
If they're getting
their affiliates involved,
it means they're a big conglomerate.
All cable channels and film studios
that were planning to move
into DMC decided
to retract the plan.
I heard media related academic
organizations
were going to move in as well.
They are scholars who only study.
How did you persuade them?
I promised them industry academic
cooperation, research grant,
and overseas training.
Okay.
Supporting academics
is a way for a company
to contribute to society as well.
- I will remember that.
- Good.
Goodness, DMC is going to end
even before they start the construction.
What should we do?
It's your uncle's first business
after he became the mayor.
I'll meet him.
- Will you?
- Yes.
Families help each other
when they're in trouble.
Seong Jun,
how are things going with her?
The daughter of Hyunsung Daily's CEO.
Why isn't there any news
about your marriage?
Do you guys not get along?
No, Grandfather.
We're seeing each other well.
Is that so?
A man who manages his family well
does business well too.
My eldest grandson is all grown up.
Okay.
What do you think, Hang Jae?
It will serve
as a strong warning to Do Jun.
If the DMC project doesn't work out,
Miracle Investment
will suffer a heavy blow
because they spent
a lot on the initial investment.
I mean Seong Jun.
My eldest grandson.
He was better
than the CEOs of the affiliates.
He catches on quickly
to the hidden meaning of your words.
Thank goodness
that Young Ki has
a smart son like Seong Jun.
- Really?
- Yes.
Chairman Jin is taking Seong Jun with him?
According to the Secretary's Office,
that is right.
Call Seong Jun's office.
I should eat with him.
Well
Wouldn't it be better for him
to position himself
as Chairman Jin's grandson
rather than your son?
"Chairman Jin started teaching
his favourite grandson"
"for him to succeed his place."
This kind of an image.
So I can't even call my son as it is?
I'm sorry. I acted out of line.

Change his post right now.
A deputy manager-level secretary
dedicated to Vice-Chairman.
Thank you, sir!
I'll pledge my allegiance to you.
Is this really Korea?
Not the Republic of Soonyang?
How can they give up on moving into DMC
with just one word from Soonyang?
Cable channels , film studios,
and even academic organizations.
It's not one word. It's money.
There are only 830,000 paid subscribers
of cable channels.
The advertising industry died out
because of the IMF crisis.
An advertiser like Soonyang
is like their king.
You need to listen
to your king to be saved, no?
Not to mention film studios
which Soonyang can interfere
with investment and distribution.
Soonyang's money is spread
all around Korea
like blood vessels.
That's how Soonyang can move Korea.
Why is high and mighty
Soonyang interfering
with a trivial matter like moving into DMC?
He answered
to my declaration of war.
It's Mayor Choi Chang Je.
Hello.
Is it true?
(Digital Media City)
I heard all the broadcasting stations
and media-related companies
that were supposed to move into DMC
withdrew their plan.
Are you going to give up on DMC,
which is the landmark
of New Seoul Town?
The DMC project won't fall through.
Digital Media Center
is a future business
that Miracle Investment
is conducting with confidence.
We're planning to look
for other broadcasting stations
and media companies
who wish to move in
before the construction starts.
Keep your word.
I'll keep my word with Seoul's citizens.
If there isn't any broadcasting station
willing to move in
before the construction starts,
I'm going to hand over the DMC business
to another company.
To a construction company bigger
and more powerful
than Miracle Investment.
You're the one who taught me
what the DMC project means
to Choi Chang Je, the mayor of Seoul.
Please do a good job. I'm hanging up.
What did Mayor Choi say?
He taught me
why Soonyang interfered so hard
with the companies moving into DMC.
Mayor Choi is planning
to hand over the DMC project to Soonyang.
The New Seoul Town project
comes back to the company
it belongs to, Uncle.
I should give you a boost
when I have the power.
Once the DMC project becomes successful,
your position in the company
will become more solid.
"Jin Seong Jun didn't get the post
just for being Chairman's grandson."
Let's show them. Yes?
I understand why Grandfather
was against it.
I guess everyone becomes like this
when they're drunk in power.
What?
You can't tell what situation
you're in now, can you?
No.
It's not you but I
and Soonyang
that have your life in our hands,
Mayor Choi Chang Je.
Nephew.
New Seoul Town project was dirtied
with real estate speculation
from the start.
Imagine the DMC project
worth almost five billion dollars
falling through.
Won't you end up as a Seoul mayor
who became a lame duck
as soon as your term started?
I
Grandfather is giving you one more chance.
Because you're his family.
If you need the power of Soonyang,
don't hesitate to ask.
Come to Jeongsimjae to ask.
As you always did.
You'll buy Soonyang? With your money?
Do you think you can buy it with money?
Try it then.
But pay a lot for it.
You're drinking? You should be.
You're about to lose two percent
of Soonyang Corporation's shares.
But don't drink so much yet.
You'll want to drink more
after listening to this.
Looking for companies
that can move into DMC is
rather simple, actually.
We just need to look
for broadcasting stations
that can be financially independent
without Soonyang's ads.
And what's that station?
There's none.
Seriously
Stations that have enough influence
to move into DMC
are all managed by Soonyang.
It got me thinking
that Digital Media City,
your ambitious work,
might be too early for Korea as of now.
What do you mean?
I promised to be honest as a partner,
so I'll tell you.
Before deciding on what to invest,
I always look at this cheat sheet.
A cheat sheet?
I don't mean complex figures
with difficult names
like the stock market index,
economic growth rate,
and current account balance.
I look at the real economic index
that can be seen at once.
- What is that?
- Signboards.
Signboards are your cheat sheets?
You can see everything from signboards.
The flow of market, consumers' needs,
and the outlook of an industry.
So signboards, no
So what does today's cheat sheet say?
Look.
All the new signboards on the streets
are for internet cafés.
Does this make sense?
Is this truly a country
that wants to become the IT powerhouse?
I've never seen an internet café
in New York, not once.
Things have advanced so much,
so why do people still
not have a computer at home
that they need to go to internet cafés?
This is why
Digital Media City won't happen.
("99 Pro-gamer Korea Open")
There's nobody to defend it now.
(Internet café)
(Internet café)
(Internet café)
Your cheat sheet is correct, Mr. Oh.
You can run a broadcasting station
without Soonyang's ads.
It might even gain enough influence
to move into DMC.
There's such a station?
Where?
(Digital Media City)
Is E-sports even possible?
Game companies weren't interested
in online game relay broadcasting
that we offered.
Gosh.
But maybe
because their target audience matches,
a cartoon broadcasting station
is showing interest.
And they will actively accommodate
our suggestion to minimize
the profit from ads and earn
from gamers' subscription fee
and relay rights instead.
- I see.
- Okay.
Right, one more thing.
They have a condition.
Regarding the move into DMC
Miracle's D double-J.
They want to discuss with you,
the majority shareholder.
- The majority shareholder?
- Yes.
(Modern Gallery, Exhibition in progress)
Miracle Investment's majority shareholder,
Jin Do Jun.
What's going on?
I'm here to meet the representative
of a game company
who will move into DMC.
I'm that representative.
My uncle has a broadcasting station
that mainly airs animations.
I heard Miracle Investment was looking
for a gaming channel,
so I asked him for a favour.
Reorganization and composition of staff.
They're all completed.
I'm qualified enough to be here, right?
Do you take after your mother?
You were pretty talented in acting.
You said you weren't interested
in succeeding Soonyang.
But you're standing in front of me
as the majority shareholder
of Miracle Investment.
How did you find out?
I told you.
Hyunsung Daily is good
at getting information.
Think about it.
The power to move public opinion.
Chairman Jin would want
a lot more than that
to join hands with my family.
I'm not the one
he wants to marry off to you.
We're getting ready
to start broadcasting channels
for Hyunsung Daily's financial
and sports magazines.
I already have my father's permission.
First, we'll move Hyunsung Daily's HQ
to DMC.
Then we'll get ready
to open the channels at DMC.
Then Miracle won't have any problems
with the construction
and parcelling out of DMC.
Four channels
and Hyunsung Daily too?
Now, do you understand
why you really need me?
What do you say?
I'd say it's an irresistible proposition.
It sure is a proposition
I can't turn down.
(Exhibition in progress)
What would you like to order, sir?
Well
Vienna coffee,
without cinnamon.
That's what Min Yeong
always ordered for you. Right?
Is she not here today? I don't see her.
Oh, I guess you didn't know.
Min Yeong quit to start studying
for the bar exam.
She said everyone in her family
passed the bar while in school.
Really?
All right, then.
Here.
Oh, you can use it next time.
Oh
There will be no next time.
What would you like
Oh, do you work here part-time?
Like someone once told me,
I don't want to take my privileges
for granted anymore, sir.
I thought about it,
and you weren't entirely wrong.
I'm glad I learned the lesson
before I began a career in law.
And for that, I'm grateful.
My gosh. You seem quite touched
by what I said, sir.
Your name tag is upside down.
(Seo Min Yeong)
Vienna coffee, please.
How much is it? 1.20 dollars?
It's 1.20 dollars.
Without cinnamon, please.
You owe me 80 cents.
Yes.
Hello.
I used to work here.
Here's the key for the supply storage room.
- I forgot to return it.
- I see.
Oh, he was here a few moments ago.
Why didn't you tell him that you quit?
He came all the way here for nothing.
Who? Who was here?
You know, the guy who always
gets Vienna coffee.
When I told him you quit,
he looked like he'd just gotten dumped
or something.
It sure is a proposition
I can't turn down.
So what can I offer?
For every deal, there's a price to pay.
You know this too.
We'll be
good partners.
"Good partners?"
So in a nutshell,
you want me to do as you say,
let you keep me on a leash,
and obey your family's advice
at all times
just so you can
become the granddaughter-in-law
of the Soonyang family,
while knowing that I'm being tailed
and watched by people you hired.
- That's
- To me,
it sounds like you want to own me
before you own Soonyang.
I'm afraid I must decline your proposition,
Ms. Mo Hyeon Min.
I have no interest in becoming your puppet.
(From Jin Seong Jun)
I'm waiting for the day we can meet again.
From Jin Seong Jun.
I didn't know I'd see it again so soon.
Your smile, Ms. Mo Hyeon Min.
We promised to meet again
with smiles on our faces.
Today is
that day, right?
Oh, yes!
Men's premium underwear!
A five-piece trunk set is
Hyeong Jun.
I was wondering what you were watching.
A home-shopping channel?
Do not let your guard down.
You startled me.
It'll sell out the moment
you let your guard down.
A spectacular action-thriller that
keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Coming to theaters this summer.
It'll surpass your imagination
in every possible way.
A fantastic adventure movie.
"Home Shopping."
Hyeong Jun only watches
shopping channels these days.
Hey, you don't need a lot of stuff.
Hey, shopping isn't about
buying things you need.
It's all about buying things you want.
Do you understand, my little brother?
- Do Jun.
- Yes.
Your father wants to speak
to you about something.
Your grandfather was here.
Soonyang Public Welfare Foundation
at Soonyang Medical Center
and HR Development Center.
Your grandfather handed it over to us.
(Power of Attorney, Jin Yoon Ki)
It's a warning.
Your grandfather is warning us
not to get greedy
over Soonyang.
- Father
- I heard everything.
I'm sorry I couldn't give you a heads up.
Must you
go against your grandfather's wishes?
I understand why you're worried.
You know better than anyone how scary
Grandfather can be.
I understand that you're against it.
Let's do it.
I looked into it.
I think I can afford to acquire
a cable movie channel
for DMC.
Although it won't be of much help.
Always remember
that I've got your back, Do Jun.
Honey, did you decide
to give in and let Do Jun have his way?
Honey, it's
You two.
Promise me.
Do Jun, promise me that
you'll never become like
everyone on
your father's side of the family.
And you, honey. Promise me
that you'll protect Do Jun.
So your father and siblings
can't hurt our son.
The 4th son
of Chairman Jin Yang Cheol, 4-0.
His wife, 4-alpha.
And me,
Jin Do Jun.
They're my parents.
(Groom Jin Seong Jun, Bride Mo Hyeon Min)
I should get a wedding gift
for my eldest grandson.
Is there anything you need?
We'll start out at Jeongsimjae,
so we don't need anything.
No, don't say that.
You are becoming a real adult, Seong Jun.
I must do something for you.
Tell me what you want.
Then, Grandfather.
Please give me the right to play a part
as one of the adults in the family.
As one of the adults in the family?
It's no big deal.
It's about taking responsibility.
If Seong Jun wishes
to share the burden with us,
he should get some shares too.
Right, Dong Ki?
Yes, sure thing.
So? Did Father say he'd give him some?
Of course.
I think he wants to announce it
at the reception
when the whole family is there.
Hwa Young.
Have a drink with me at the reception.
It's been too long.
Sounds like it'll be a coronation ceremony,
not a wedding.
Will Father really announce
at the wedding that
Seong Jun is next in line for the throne?
Of course,
Seong Jun is his eldest grandson.
Your father will take great care of him.
All right. Don't be late.
I'll see you at the wedding.
About Seong Jun's fiancée.
I should ask her to visit us tomorrow.
Why? Do you already want to be
an overbearing mother-in-law?
No, I want to be
a good daughter-in-law to you.
All your paintings are too good
to be just kept in this room.
You should have a solo show.
Your granddaughter-in-law runs a gallery.
Gosh, stop. A solo show? Please.
This is just a hobby.
Don't be so modest.
You should think about it, Mother.
Jeong Rae, has Mr. Yang called?
He said he'd be home by lunch.
How come he's not back yet?
Oh, you're right.
Father always calls
if he's going to be home late.
I received a call from Jeongsimjae.
They're asking
when the chairman will be home.
What should I tell them, sir?
We found
a brain arteriovenous malformation, sir.
Will surgery fix it?
The thing is
The location is quite risky
if we were to perform surgery.
So I have no choice
but to rely on luck.
Is that it?
We will do our very best
to monitor it closely.
In my head,
there is a ticking time bomb
waiting to go off.
(Reborn Rich)
As you ordered,
I prepared a share transfer agreement
for Mr. Jin Seong Jun.
Sir!
(Share Transfer Agreement)
Don't you know whom I love the most
out of all my children?
What on earth did you do?
The one who can make Soonyang bigger
and better than I can
will get everything.
That Do Jun takes after me.
Do you think that makes sense?
Grandfather, you were right.
I've given up on my goal
of buying Soonyang with my money.
Do not step over the line!
You guys are different from us.
Don't you dare delude yourself
into thinking
that you can be a rightful heir.
