Remarriage & Desires (2022) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7
[theme music playing]
[music ends]
[gentle music playing]
I want to thank you.
You don't need to thank me.
It's only right
that bad people get what they deserve.
[exhales]
Even though everything turned out
the way I wanted,
I'm not happy.
What was I trying so hard to achieve?
I thought getting revenge
would make me feel better.
Probably because
you've been through so much.
You've gotten used to the pain.
[exhales]
I have no idea
where I'm supposed to go from here,
but I'm going to live my life now.
I know I'm going to be all right,
but I'm still worried about you.
I'm worried I only made things
harder for you.
[inhales] I'm going to be fine.
Just knowing that you managed
to get your revenge
That's good enough for me.
Now it's finally your turn to be happy.
And I'll be by your side.
[gentle music continues]
[music fades out]
We received quite a few complaints
from members who were at the masquerade.
They're questioning our screening process
since a criminal like Jin Yoo-hui
was able to get into the party.
[woman] Many members are also complaining
about how we sort by level.
They want to know how Seo Hye-seung
matched with a Black Level member.
There are also complaints about
our management of personal information.
Why don't we issue an apology statement
to our members, Ms. Choi?
"We take full responsibility."
"We're going to make sure
that it never happens again."
Like that?
What they need right now isn't an apology.
It's a wedding with a Black level member.
Do you understand
what our priority must be?
[Myeong-u] I am sorry.
I
I'm a horrible person.
[sniffles]
I let Jin Yoo-hui take advantage of me.
I
I'm so, so sorry.
- [exhales]
- [Myeong-u sobbing]
[Hye-seung exhales]
Please get up.
[sniffles]
You know, in the end,
you did still help me.
[Myeong-u inhales]
That couldn't have been easy for you.
[inhales]
[exhales]
[Yoo-sun] What are you
so worried about, ma'am?
He likes her very much.
You should marry the two of them.
What do you mean?
Do you really think I came to you
to talk about a girl like that?
It's never going to happen.
I'll have to take care of my own son.
Just make sure you get Professor Jung.
How much incentive do you need?
I don't know.
Unfortunately, it's not that easy
to fix something that's such a mess.
Just make it happen, whatever the cost.
[car horn honks]
[car door opens]
[dramatic music playing]
How have you been?
One minute.
What? Are you surprised?
I didn't expect to see you here.
[chuckles]
Did you think that I'd be rotting
in a dirty prison cell?
Isn't that how it goes?
Causing such a scene
all for a woman like that
Mr. Lee, you're such a fool.
[sighs angrily]
If that's all you have to say,
I'm leaving then.
Yes, fine. I lost this round.
But now, it's time for round two.
So I guess we will have to see
who wins this time.
[dramatic music continues]
[chuckles]
[car door shuts]
[music building]
[music ends abruptly]
[Ae-ran] I made sure
that Jin Yoo-hui was acquitted.
[exhales]
Well, good job.
However,
I've discovered something interesting.
I guess Eun-ju must have died
thinking she was
the only woman you ever loved.
Let's get one thing clear.
If Jin Yoo-hui gets in the way
of your presidential run or my daughter,
mark my words,
I'll make sure she regrets it forever.
[dramatic music playing]
[car door shuts]
[music fades out]
[gentle music playing faintly]
Thanks to you,
I think Jun-ho has become
more confident in his Korean.
I think it's more than enough
to end tutoring now.
I've always been careful
not to trust people too quickly,
but how was I supposed to know
that someone who seemed so reserved
[inhales]
would betray my trust like that?
Mrs. Noh
Ms. Seo, your approach
was wrong from the start.
You're a member of Rex, aren't you?
Oh, that's
Let's stop beating around the bush.
I don't ever want to see you here again.
Thank you for your hard work.
I don't want anything from you.
I'm just thankful
for what Mr. Lee has done for me.
People can be so manipulative.
If you continue to meet with my son,
who's to say you won't try
to marry him like the rest?
But what makes you think that I would want
to get married again to Mr. Lee?
I've never even thought
about marrying anyone else.
And that's not going to change
in the future.
- There's no reason for you to worry.
- Ms. Seo, do you mean that?
Yes.
I'm glad to hear
you're thinking about this the right way.
I suppose
I'll have to take your word for it.
[exhales]
Let me just say goodbye to Jun-ho.
I'll tell him. There's no need for you
to contact anyone else in the family.
And this is compensation
for your work, so take it.
[cell phone vibrating]
INCOMING CALL
MS. CHOI YOO-SUN
Professor Cha told his father
that he wanted
to marry Professor Seo Hye-seung.
There was a bit of an argument,
but what parent could deny their son?
I told them I also support the match.
I have no intention of marrying him.
Please find him a good wife.
One his father is happy with.
That's unexpected.
I have to say,
I do think he's the best match for you.
I don't.
You mean it's the best match for you.
Who's the person who wants to see me?
[knocks on door]
[door opens]
[dramatic music playing]
[exhales]
I told you,
you just can't beat me with the law.
[dramatic sting]
I guess it doesn't mean much in Korea.
[chuckles]
[exhales]
Did you bring me here
just to show me that she was released?
I arranged this meeting
so that you two could talk,
have a conversation,
a chance to make peace,
now that the storm has passed.
You want us to make peace?
Isn't that usually reserved for people
who actually deserve forgiveness?
I will never forgive that woman.
I have just one thing to say.
I don't know what kind of life
you're going to live,
but I hope just once,
you'll be hurt the way that you hurt me.
You need to experience the hell
of your world collapsing.
[chuckles]
Oh hell?
You must really believe
that you've hit rock bottom already.
But are you sure?
Do you want me to show you
what hell is really like?
[chuckles]
Okay, then.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see
who will get there first.
[dramatic sting]
[door shuts]
[exhales]
What a shame.
I was hoping that I'd get to see
the two of you reconcile.
I'm glad to see you back so quickly.
Your father really is an impressive man.
Seo Hye-seung.
Lee Hyung-ju.
[exhales]
- What do you think will happen to them?
- I don't know.
The more you have to protect,
the weaker you become.
In that sense, it seems that
the situation is now all in your favor.
[gentle music playing]
[Yong-hwan] Stop talking
about Seo Hye-seung!
Don't be stupid
and just marry Jung Mi-jin, okay?
You know, I was pretty surprised
to find out I knew a Black Level member.
[exhales]
- So what?
- I'm just so glad to see you.
To my surprise, it turns out
that there is a decent man in this school.
Who knew?
Come on. Let's be friends.
[cell phone vibrates]
[Hye-seung] Where are you?
Sure, let's try it.
It's getting colder, right?
I just met with Ms. Choi.
I heard that you fought with your father.
[sighs] Yeah, but it's my fault.
And after what happened
I know for sure now.
What I've been wanting
and looking for this entire time
was you.
Don't say that.
You should marry a woman
your father approves of.
Don't keep fighting with him
because of me.
I've forgiven you now,
and I really do feel thankful.
Hye-seung, I just
I would like to be by your side.
It's what I want.
[sighs]
In my life
I've learned a can't rely on a man.
Even if I want to.
When my husband asked me
to get a divorce
[inhales]
it came as a complete chock.
I thought that I had accomplished
a lot in my life,
but it turned out I had lost myself.
Now I want to find myself again on my own.
So then
what about Mr. Lee?
He's just someone I'm grateful for.
That's how I'll remember him.
[cell phone vibrating]
MR. LEE HYUNG-JU
[cell phone vibrates]
[Hye-seung] I'm sorry.
Something came up,
and I can't tutor you anymore.
I wish I could say goodbye in person.
I'm so sorry, Jun-ho.
- Hey, Dad.
- Yeah?
Did something happen with Ms. Seo?
Why'd she quit all of a sudden?
She just quit?
Mother, did you tell Ms. Seo to quit?
What'd you even say to her?
Embarrassing our family
and your company in public
in front of all those people.
Are you out of your mind?
I thought you knew
that she's a good person.
And then what about all those rumors
about Jun-ho's mother?
That has got nothing to do with this.
So?
You need to get married
to stop these rumors from spreading!
Why would Someone like you settle for her?
[gentle music playing]
[sighs]
Ms. Seo,
I'm sorry for what my mother did to you.
It's all right.
You don't need to be sorry.
Jun-ho still wants you as his tutor.
- I'll find a way to make it work, okay?
- No, don't do that.
I want you to stop contacting me.
What? What do you mean by that? Why?
Because of you,
I have the courage to live my life.
I am so grateful for that.
[exhales]
But, I thought
you felt the same way as me.
Was that not true?
Tell me. There must be a reason why.
I just
I want to live my life in peace
for a while.
Then, just maybe,
day by day, time will pass,
and eventually, I'll I'll be satisfied.
I'll remember you
as someone who helped me
when I was at the lowest I've ever been.
Thank you so much.
[exhales shakily]
[exhales shakily]
[gasps]
I, Son Pil-young,
promise to you, the citizens,
who have lost their hopes and dreams,
I will end inequality and unfairness,
and promote fairness and justice.
I will make this country a place
where law-abiding citizens
can have a good life.
I, Son Pil-young,
promise I will make this happen.
[crowd chanting] Son Pil-young!
Son Pil-young!
[Yoo-hui] Thank you for your help.
I guess you decided
to take my side, after all, huh?
I've never felt it before,
but is this what a father's love is like?
[chuckles]
I get a bit emotional.
I want you to know
I'll never help you like that again.
You need to disappear quietly.
I never want to see you again.
THE 22ND PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
MAJOR EVENTS
I never wanted to hold
that dirty hand of yours either.
Especially not after everything I've done.
Were you aware that I've dedicated
my entire life just to taking you down?
But not anymore, though.
I found someone
I want to destroy even more than you.
Lee Hyung-ju.
Help me bring him to his knees.
[dramatic music playing]
If the first half of my life
was pathetic thanks to a certain someone,
it needs to be brilliant from here on.
And you can become president,
just like you've always dreamed of being.
The day Lee Hyung-ju
is finally ruined, is the day
you and I will become strangers for good.
[breathes angrily]
[knocks on door]
[door opens]
Yes, Ms. Choi?
[door shuts]
Please prepare a campaign donation
for Son Pil-young.
Yes, ma'am.
[suspenseful music playing]
[door shuts]
[Yoo-hui] Nice shot.
Impressive skills.
You're rather impressive too,
considering your rap sheet.
[Sung-jae clears throat]
Mr. Choi.
[Sung-jae groans]
I'm aware you saw some profit from Hibull.
Are you satisfied with it?
Hyung-ju and I go back for decades.
What kind of question is that?
[groans]
Then
what is this clause doing here
on your own friend's contract?
IF THE M&A FALLS THROUGH, LIONSOFT HAS
OPTIONS OF BUYING HIBULL STOCKS
Mr. Lee may not have caught it,
but it's so obvious to me.
This
this is definitely a trap.
I know you're mad
that Hyung-ju rejected you
Let's be honest.
I know what you're really interested in.
It's Hibull, isn't it?
Mr. Lee made you feel inferior
for a long time,
so now you're planning on taking him down
and claiming your victory.
Am I right?
[breathes deeply]
Wow, you bought up quite a bit
by using different names.
Well
I'm sure you know where to find me.
That is, when you're ready.
[dramatic music playing]
CEO CHOI SUNG-JAE'S
BORROWED-NAME STOCK ACQUISITION OF HIBULL
[music ends abruptly]
[doorbell dings]
[dog barking]
[Myeong-u grunts]
- [tense music playing]
- [car engine turns over]
[Yoo-hui] Okay, thank you.
[tense music building]
[music ends abruptly]
Hello, my name is
Seo Hye-seung.
For the next three weeks,
I'll be lecturing
on Leadership in Mythology.
[all applauding]
What is the study of humanities?
It's like
stopping for a moment
to raise your head and look up at the sky.
It may seem like you're taking a break,
but you're actually looking
at the North Star
to help you understand
the direction in which you're facing.
[Hyung-ju] Professor Seo.
[breathes deeply]
Have you
been well?
Yes.
Has Jun-ho been doing well?
[inhales]
Well, he's a bit sad
that he doesn't get to see you anymore.
Please tell him that I'm sorry.
And that I'm always rooting for him.
[chuckles]
I really liked your lecture today.
It was fun.
Glad to hear it.
I'm glad I didn't waste your time.
I know you're a busy man.
Do you
want to get dinner?
[exhales]
Today, I
[Seok-jin] Professor Seo.
We should go. We're late.
Oh, we're just meeting
with the department chair.
Can you give me a second?
[Seok-jin] Hye-seung wants to stand
on her own from now on.
Please respect her wishes.
Pretty sure that's none of your concern.
I don't want to give up on her yet.
[chuckles]
We do have a lot in common.
I know that she was your first love, but
don't cross the line.
You let me worry about that.
[door opens]
See you at the next lecture. Let's go.
Ms. Seo.
[gentle music playing]
[Hye-seung sighs]
Thank you for getting me out of there.
Mm-hmm.
Want to get dinner?
I can't. I need to get home.
Min-ji's waiting. Good night.
Night.
[dramatic music playing]
Please, sit.
[exhales]
So I take it that you feel ready now.
I think so.
It's nice to meet you, ma'am.
If the two of you join forces,
then you might as well
be owners of Hibull already.
[chuckles] Let me help you with that.
I have a question for you.
I heard that you were briefly
in a relationship with him.
Why are you doing this?
Are you just looking for revenge?
Mmm
I'm not the type
to let others get the best of me.
[chuckles]
And of course, there's the money.
[Sung-jae sucks teeth, inhales]
Well, then.
Let's hear the game plan Ms. Jin
has prepared for us.
[dramatic sting]
You should be careful.
Why?
She still wants Lee Hyung-ju.
It's just a feeling.
[chuckles]
[dramatic sting]
I heard you gave us
a very generous donation.
Thank you very much.
It's the supporters like yourself
who keep this campaign strong.
[chuckles]
I hear your approval ratings are high.
Allow me to offer my congratulations.
You know I always support
the winning side, Congressman.
- Oh my.
- [both chuckle]
I came here
because I was curious about something.
Your thoughts
on Mr. Lee Hyung-ju's future wife.
I don't know.
I thought that was your job.
Aren't you in charge of his marriage?
Everyone wants him.
I'm just here to guide him
in the best possible direction.
And given that
the outcome of the situation
depends on what you want,
I have no choice but to come and ask you.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Well, as far as I'm aware,
you have two choices.
One of those choices, Ms. Jin,
could be a major risk factor
in this upcoming election.
I'm sorry, but in my line of work,
you end up finding out everything
about your members.
And in today's society,
information is most valuable.
Even more so than money.
What do you want from me?
Your right-hand woman, Go Ae-ran, asked me
to make sure that her daughter
is the one who marries Mr. Lee.
I was just wondering
if maybe you might feel the same way.
So that's what this is about.
Okay, I see what you're getting at.
I'll definitely keep it in mind,
since you're interested
in my election, that is.
[dramatic music building]
[music ends abruptly]
Why don't you ask Professor Jung
to marry you?
Why do you keep trying to make
[sighs]
Father.
It's my marriage.
I'm not interested in her.
If you marry her,
I promise
I will give you everything I own.
That was your mother's wish, right?
I mean, how many children do I have, huh?
You're all I've got!
All I want is for you
to marry a girl from a good family.
And then you can finally start building
a family of your own.
Then you should have treated my brother
a little better.
If he hadn't died like that,
he'd have been a good son to you.
[exhales shakily]
You don't need
to take on your brother's duty.
[suspenseful music playing]
You can get married
to Seo Hye-seung if you want.
Keep your nose
out of our family matters.
I'm going to take care of Mr. Lee.
Whether it's Jung Mi-jin or not.
[sighs] Just get to the point.
Your inheritance.
Give it up.
[dramatic music playing]
You can't have everything in life.
Let's each of us get what we require
for our own happiness.
Fairly
and peacefully.
[door slams shut]
[dramatic music building]
[music ends abruptly]
- [Hye-seung] Min-ji, what about breakfast?
- I'm late! I can't!
- Wait, wait!
- Bye!
Here. Hey, drink this at least.
Have fun at school.
- I'm late! Come on!
- [chuckles] Okay.
See you later.
- Okay.
- [door opens]
[reporter] The body of Choi Myeong-u,
former CEO of TX Engineering,
was discovered
in the Han River near Mapo Bridge.
The contents of a will
sent to a news station before his death
reveal details that Mr. Lee Hyung-ju,
CEO of Hibull,
the largest gaming company in the country,
forced Mr. Choi to give false testimony
against a lawyer identified as Ms. Jin.
Public opinion of Mr. Lee
is becoming increasingly critical
as a result of Mr. Choi Myeong-u's suicide
in the Han River.
On top of this,
rumors regarding Mr. Lee's sponsorship
of celebrities
and relationships with women
are spreading
on several private financial editorials
[TV clicks off]
[dramatic music playing]
[remote control thuds]
[knocks on door]
- Yeah.
- [door opens]
Mr. Lee, the pension department
is demanding
an emergency shareholders meeting.
Regarding what exactly?
Your removal as CEO, sir.
[sighs]
You violated the duty of good faith
in the swap agreement
executed by both companies, Mr. Lee.
And your actions caused the sudden drop
in Hibull stocks, including our share.
The stock price will be normalized
once the rumor turns out to be false.
The takeover with Apple
will go over without a hitch.
No, our assessment is different.
We demand that you stand down as CEO
until things calm down.
Pardon?
And I suggest our mutual partner,
Mr. Choi Sung-jae, execute the duties
of CEO in the meantime.
[tense music playing]
[music ends]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Hye-seung breathing heavily]
Hold on. What's your business here?
I'm here to meet with Mr. Lee Hyung-ju.
I have something urgent to tell him.
I wasn't notified of this.
Do you have an appointment with him?
[exhales]
[electronic chime]
Ms. Seo.
Ah.
Hello there.
[Ho-chan] Oh,
are you here to see Hyung-ju?
[Hye-seung] Yes.
I have to tell him something.
[Ho-chan] Uh,
Hyung-ju's super busy right now.
I'm pretty sure you can't talk.
I can tell him to call you later
if that works for you.
- Yes. Thank you.
- Sure.
- [Yoo-hui] Mr. Ju.
- Oh, Ms. Jin.
Do you know what Mr. Lee is gonna do?
Uh, he said he's going
to see Congressman Son.
- Oh, is that right?
- Yeah.
You know,
you were very rude to me that day.
- I'm sorry, sir.
- So what are you going to do now?
If you give up control of the company,
it won't be easy to get it back.
That's why I wanted to ask you
if I could possibly use your authority to
to help me take care of this issue.
[inhales] Hmm.
Could you do that for me?
[inhales] All right.
I'll set things in motion.
After all, I made you
with the scholarship foundation I built.
I can't just sit and watch you crumble.
Thank you very much, sir.
One condition.
You'll get married to a woman I choose.
What? What are you talking about, sir?
All of this happened because of one woman.
If you want to address
the root of the problem,
you need to marry someone suitable.
Can you understand that?
[exhales]
If you're talking
about Professor Jung Mi-jin,
there's someone else I'm interested in.
Oh, right on time.
Did I miss anything
Well, hello, Mr. Lee.
Gosh, look at you.
The two of you look great together.
I'll talk with the chairman
of the pension fund,
so don't you worry about anything.
An excellent businessman like you
shouldn't be mixed up in such rumors.
Sir, I didn't come here
to talk about marriage.
Ms. Jin is someone who is very dear to me.
She's talented too.
I thought you would be
a great match for her,
so I've had my eye on this
for a while now.
Oh, would you look at the time.
Well, you two talk.
Take good care of him.
Yes.

LEE HYUNG-JU
HIBULL STOCKS PLUMME
OVER LEE HYUNG-JU'S RUMORS
LEE HYUNG-JU IN TROUBLE
PERSONAL LIFE WRAPPED UP IN RUMORS
HIBULL STOCKS CONTINUING TO NOSEDIVE
OVER THE CEO-RELATED RISK
[dramatic music building]
[music ends abruptly]
What do you think you're doing?
What's your relationship with him
that he's going to these lengths for you?
He's
he's like a father figure to me.
Does that matter right now, though?
What's your move?
Are you really going to let yourself
fall off the cliff?
Or
take my hand?
[scoffs]
Mr. Choi Sung-jae.
How much do you trust him?
[zipper unzips]
[tense music building]
[music ends abruptly]
Just a moment.
[gasps] Hyung-ju!
[Hyung-ju breathing heavily]
[screams]
[Sung-jae grunts]
[Hyung-ju breathing heavily]
You son of a bitch.
[Sung-jae groaning]
MOTHER
[dramatic music building]
[music ends abruptly]
- [Mrs. Noh] Please, eat.
- [Ae-ran] Looks lovely.
[classical music playing]
[Mrs. Noh] Oh, there you are! [gasps]
[Yoo-sun] Long time no see, sir.
Your mother was kind enough
to invite me here to join you.
Last time, you left without saying hello
because you were too busy.
Why don't you say hi to Professor Jung?
Hello there.
I haven't seen you since that party.
We didn't even get a chance
to speak that night.
[exhales]
I hope you ladies
have a wonderful rest of your evening.
[sighs]
Well, please excuse me.
[grunts]
[exhales]
Mother, why do you
have to act like this too?
Calm down, please.
Do you think I wanted
to do this right now?
- All of this is for you
- Just stop it, please!
I feel like I'm losing my mind here.
[gentle music playing]
They came all the way out here. Please
I want you to think about my reputation.
I beg you.
[sighs]
[inhales]
[phone line ringing]
Yeah, school just let out.
What'd you make for my birthday?
Japchae and galbijjim?
Wow! On my way!
[ominous music building]
[music ends abruptly]
I'm afraid that my mother
caused all this trouble herself.
I'm so sorry.
You must be stressing out
about work these days, aren't you?
So propose to me.
You need me, don't you?
I'm sorry, but I already have feelings
for someone else.
Feelings?
[chuckles, inhales]
Go ahead and have feelings.
I've been in love before too.
They always change in the end.
You know that already, don't you?
I prefer things that don't change.
Like contracts.
We'll have a partnership.
A sound agreement
with a marriage contract.
What do you say?
[Mrs. Noh] They look so good together.
Absolutely.
"A match made in heaven".
The phrase really seems to suit them.
Oh.
Would you like another glass of wine?
Maybe with dessert?
- That sounds lovely.
- [chuckles]
[Yoo-sun chuckles]
Apparently, Congressman Son told Mr. Lee
that he wanted him to marry Jin Yoo-hui.
[exhales]
Leave it to me.
Of course.
- [sighs]
- Mmm.
How'd you know it was her birthday?
It showed up on my phone.
- She's not here?
- Mmm.
Ah.
I wanted to give it to her myself.
She said she wanted a new phone.
[exhales]
Her mom's friend
can give her a present like this, right?
[Hye-seung exhales]
Yeah, thank you.
- Have a good night, okay?
- [cell phone vibrates]
- I'll go.
- Okay.
Min-ji, where are you?
Yes, this is she.
[breathes shakily] What happened?
[dramatic music playing]
[Hye-seung panting, sobbing]
Doctor! Please,
you have to save my Min-ji, please!
- I can't have anything happen to her.
- Hye-seung, stop.
- Please save Min-ji!
- Hye-seung! Hye-seung!
- Hye-seung!
- [crying]
Calm down.
Hye-seung! Hye-seung!
[crying] Min-ji!
It's okay.
It's all right now.
- [whimpering]
- [music ends abruptly]
[footsteps approaching]
How could you?
Why would you do this?
Please have a seat.
I've dedicated decades of my life to you.
There's nothing
that I haven't done for you.
I even helped Jin Yoo-hui for you,
but now
you're choosing her
over me and my daughter?
I'm sorry, but now
the time has come
for me to reap what I've sewed.
I have no choice.
Do you
think you can win this without me?
Ae-ran
You need me by your side.
We need to succeed together.
If someone gets in my way
well
Choi Myeong-u won't be the last to go.
[dramatic sting]
If she's in coma for more than two weeks,
we can't do much.
What exactly does that mean?
[heart monitor beeping]
We'll see how things go.
[whimpering]
Sir, please save her. [sobbing]
You have to. Please,
can't you do something to save her?
Yes. We'll do everything we can.
[Hye-seung continues sobbing]
[Yoo-hui] What's your move?
Are you really going to let yourself
fall off the cliff?
Or
take my hand?
So propose to me.
You need me, don't you?
[Ho-chan sighs]
Did you meet with Congressman Son?
Is he gonna help?
[sighs]
Oh right.
Ms. Seo came by a few days ago.
What? Seo Hye-seung?
I think she was worried about you,
but I sent her away
to avoid any rumors.
You don't have the time
to meet with her anyway, right?
Why did you wait until now
to tell me that?
[heart monitor beeping]
[breathing shakily] Min-ji?
[exhales shakily]
[knocks on door]
[gasps]
[sniffles]
Ms. Yoo, how did you get in here?
Your child almost died.
It's a miracle
she's alive.
[sniffles]
I'm thankful even for that.
You're lucky
the driver didn't do his job right.
If he had,
she wouldn't be alive right now.
Wait. What are you talking about?
[gasps]
[gentle music playing]
[breathing shakily]
[inhales]
- [tires screech]
- [Min-ji grunts]
[driver] I'm so sorry.
Work has been so stressful.
I've I've been so tired.
I must have fallen asleep.
I'm so sorry.
[sobbing]
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
He lied. [sniffles]
[sobbing]
[dramatic music playing]
[music fades out]
[theme music playing]
[music ends]
[music ends]
[gentle music playing]
I want to thank you.
You don't need to thank me.
It's only right
that bad people get what they deserve.
[exhales]
Even though everything turned out
the way I wanted,
I'm not happy.
What was I trying so hard to achieve?
I thought getting revenge
would make me feel better.
Probably because
you've been through so much.
You've gotten used to the pain.
[exhales]
I have no idea
where I'm supposed to go from here,
but I'm going to live my life now.
I know I'm going to be all right,
but I'm still worried about you.
I'm worried I only made things
harder for you.
[inhales] I'm going to be fine.
Just knowing that you managed
to get your revenge
That's good enough for me.
Now it's finally your turn to be happy.
And I'll be by your side.
[gentle music continues]
[music fades out]
We received quite a few complaints
from members who were at the masquerade.
They're questioning our screening process
since a criminal like Jin Yoo-hui
was able to get into the party.
[woman] Many members are also complaining
about how we sort by level.
They want to know how Seo Hye-seung
matched with a Black Level member.
There are also complaints about
our management of personal information.
Why don't we issue an apology statement
to our members, Ms. Choi?
"We take full responsibility."
"We're going to make sure
that it never happens again."
Like that?
What they need right now isn't an apology.
It's a wedding with a Black level member.
Do you understand
what our priority must be?
[Myeong-u] I am sorry.
I
I'm a horrible person.
[sniffles]
I let Jin Yoo-hui take advantage of me.
I
I'm so, so sorry.
- [exhales]
- [Myeong-u sobbing]
[Hye-seung exhales]
Please get up.
[sniffles]
You know, in the end,
you did still help me.
[Myeong-u inhales]
That couldn't have been easy for you.
[inhales]
[exhales]
[Yoo-sun] What are you
so worried about, ma'am?
He likes her very much.
You should marry the two of them.
What do you mean?
Do you really think I came to you
to talk about a girl like that?
It's never going to happen.
I'll have to take care of my own son.
Just make sure you get Professor Jung.
How much incentive do you need?
I don't know.
Unfortunately, it's not that easy
to fix something that's such a mess.
Just make it happen, whatever the cost.
[car horn honks]
[car door opens]
[dramatic music playing]
How have you been?
One minute.
What? Are you surprised?
I didn't expect to see you here.
[chuckles]
Did you think that I'd be rotting
in a dirty prison cell?
Isn't that how it goes?
Causing such a scene
all for a woman like that
Mr. Lee, you're such a fool.
[sighs angrily]
If that's all you have to say,
I'm leaving then.
Yes, fine. I lost this round.
But now, it's time for round two.
So I guess we will have to see
who wins this time.
[dramatic music continues]
[chuckles]
[car door shuts]
[music building]
[music ends abruptly]
[Ae-ran] I made sure
that Jin Yoo-hui was acquitted.
[exhales]
Well, good job.
However,
I've discovered something interesting.
I guess Eun-ju must have died
thinking she was
the only woman you ever loved.
Let's get one thing clear.
If Jin Yoo-hui gets in the way
of your presidential run or my daughter,
mark my words,
I'll make sure she regrets it forever.
[dramatic music playing]
[car door shuts]
[music fades out]
[gentle music playing faintly]
Thanks to you,
I think Jun-ho has become
more confident in his Korean.
I think it's more than enough
to end tutoring now.
I've always been careful
not to trust people too quickly,
but how was I supposed to know
that someone who seemed so reserved
[inhales]
would betray my trust like that?
Mrs. Noh
Ms. Seo, your approach
was wrong from the start.
You're a member of Rex, aren't you?
Oh, that's
Let's stop beating around the bush.
I don't ever want to see you here again.
Thank you for your hard work.
I don't want anything from you.
I'm just thankful
for what Mr. Lee has done for me.
People can be so manipulative.
If you continue to meet with my son,
who's to say you won't try
to marry him like the rest?
But what makes you think that I would want
to get married again to Mr. Lee?
I've never even thought
about marrying anyone else.
And that's not going to change
in the future.
- There's no reason for you to worry.
- Ms. Seo, do you mean that?
Yes.
I'm glad to hear
you're thinking about this the right way.
I suppose
I'll have to take your word for it.
[exhales]
Let me just say goodbye to Jun-ho.
I'll tell him. There's no need for you
to contact anyone else in the family.
And this is compensation
for your work, so take it.
[cell phone vibrating]
INCOMING CALL
MS. CHOI YOO-SUN
Professor Cha told his father
that he wanted
to marry Professor Seo Hye-seung.
There was a bit of an argument,
but what parent could deny their son?
I told them I also support the match.
I have no intention of marrying him.
Please find him a good wife.
One his father is happy with.
That's unexpected.
I have to say,
I do think he's the best match for you.
I don't.
You mean it's the best match for you.
Who's the person who wants to see me?
[knocks on door]
[door opens]
[dramatic music playing]
[exhales]
I told you,
you just can't beat me with the law.
[dramatic sting]
I guess it doesn't mean much in Korea.
[chuckles]
[exhales]
Did you bring me here
just to show me that she was released?
I arranged this meeting
so that you two could talk,
have a conversation,
a chance to make peace,
now that the storm has passed.
You want us to make peace?
Isn't that usually reserved for people
who actually deserve forgiveness?
I will never forgive that woman.
I have just one thing to say.
I don't know what kind of life
you're going to live,
but I hope just once,
you'll be hurt the way that you hurt me.
You need to experience the hell
of your world collapsing.
[chuckles]
Oh hell?
You must really believe
that you've hit rock bottom already.
But are you sure?
Do you want me to show you
what hell is really like?
[chuckles]
Okay, then.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see
who will get there first.
[dramatic sting]
[door shuts]
[exhales]
What a shame.
I was hoping that I'd get to see
the two of you reconcile.
I'm glad to see you back so quickly.
Your father really is an impressive man.
Seo Hye-seung.
Lee Hyung-ju.
[exhales]
- What do you think will happen to them?
- I don't know.
The more you have to protect,
the weaker you become.
In that sense, it seems that
the situation is now all in your favor.
[gentle music playing]
[Yong-hwan] Stop talking
about Seo Hye-seung!
Don't be stupid
and just marry Jung Mi-jin, okay?
You know, I was pretty surprised
to find out I knew a Black Level member.
[exhales]
- So what?
- I'm just so glad to see you.
To my surprise, it turns out
that there is a decent man in this school.
Who knew?
Come on. Let's be friends.
[cell phone vibrates]
[Hye-seung] Where are you?
Sure, let's try it.
It's getting colder, right?
I just met with Ms. Choi.
I heard that you fought with your father.
[sighs] Yeah, but it's my fault.
And after what happened
I know for sure now.
What I've been wanting
and looking for this entire time
was you.
Don't say that.
You should marry a woman
your father approves of.
Don't keep fighting with him
because of me.
I've forgiven you now,
and I really do feel thankful.
Hye-seung, I just
I would like to be by your side.
It's what I want.
[sighs]
In my life
I've learned a can't rely on a man.
Even if I want to.
When my husband asked me
to get a divorce
[inhales]
it came as a complete chock.
I thought that I had accomplished
a lot in my life,
but it turned out I had lost myself.
Now I want to find myself again on my own.
So then
what about Mr. Lee?
He's just someone I'm grateful for.
That's how I'll remember him.
[cell phone vibrating]
MR. LEE HYUNG-JU
[cell phone vibrates]
[Hye-seung] I'm sorry.
Something came up,
and I can't tutor you anymore.
I wish I could say goodbye in person.
I'm so sorry, Jun-ho.
- Hey, Dad.
- Yeah?
Did something happen with Ms. Seo?
Why'd she quit all of a sudden?
She just quit?
Mother, did you tell Ms. Seo to quit?
What'd you even say to her?
Embarrassing our family
and your company in public
in front of all those people.
Are you out of your mind?
I thought you knew
that she's a good person.
And then what about all those rumors
about Jun-ho's mother?
That has got nothing to do with this.
So?
You need to get married
to stop these rumors from spreading!
Why would Someone like you settle for her?
[gentle music playing]
[sighs]
Ms. Seo,
I'm sorry for what my mother did to you.
It's all right.
You don't need to be sorry.
Jun-ho still wants you as his tutor.
- I'll find a way to make it work, okay?
- No, don't do that.
I want you to stop contacting me.
What? What do you mean by that? Why?
Because of you,
I have the courage to live my life.
I am so grateful for that.
[exhales]
But, I thought
you felt the same way as me.
Was that not true?
Tell me. There must be a reason why.
I just
I want to live my life in peace
for a while.
Then, just maybe,
day by day, time will pass,
and eventually, I'll I'll be satisfied.
I'll remember you
as someone who helped me
when I was at the lowest I've ever been.
Thank you so much.
[exhales shakily]
[exhales shakily]
[gasps]
I, Son Pil-young,
promise to you, the citizens,
who have lost their hopes and dreams,
I will end inequality and unfairness,
and promote fairness and justice.
I will make this country a place
where law-abiding citizens
can have a good life.
I, Son Pil-young,
promise I will make this happen.
[crowd chanting] Son Pil-young!
Son Pil-young!
[Yoo-hui] Thank you for your help.
I guess you decided
to take my side, after all, huh?
I've never felt it before,
but is this what a father's love is like?
[chuckles]
I get a bit emotional.
I want you to know
I'll never help you like that again.
You need to disappear quietly.
I never want to see you again.
THE 22ND PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
MAJOR EVENTS
I never wanted to hold
that dirty hand of yours either.
Especially not after everything I've done.
Were you aware that I've dedicated
my entire life just to taking you down?
But not anymore, though.
I found someone
I want to destroy even more than you.
Lee Hyung-ju.
Help me bring him to his knees.
[dramatic music playing]
If the first half of my life
was pathetic thanks to a certain someone,
it needs to be brilliant from here on.
And you can become president,
just like you've always dreamed of being.
The day Lee Hyung-ju
is finally ruined, is the day
you and I will become strangers for good.
[breathes angrily]
[knocks on door]
[door opens]
Yes, Ms. Choi?
[door shuts]
Please prepare a campaign donation
for Son Pil-young.
Yes, ma'am.
[suspenseful music playing]
[door shuts]
[Yoo-hui] Nice shot.
Impressive skills.
You're rather impressive too,
considering your rap sheet.
[Sung-jae clears throat]
Mr. Choi.
[Sung-jae groans]
I'm aware you saw some profit from Hibull.
Are you satisfied with it?
Hyung-ju and I go back for decades.
What kind of question is that?
[groans]
Then
what is this clause doing here
on your own friend's contract?
IF THE M&A FALLS THROUGH, LIONSOFT HAS
OPTIONS OF BUYING HIBULL STOCKS
Mr. Lee may not have caught it,
but it's so obvious to me.
This
this is definitely a trap.
I know you're mad
that Hyung-ju rejected you
Let's be honest.
I know what you're really interested in.
It's Hibull, isn't it?
Mr. Lee made you feel inferior
for a long time,
so now you're planning on taking him down
and claiming your victory.
Am I right?
[breathes deeply]
Wow, you bought up quite a bit
by using different names.
Well
I'm sure you know where to find me.
That is, when you're ready.
[dramatic music playing]
CEO CHOI SUNG-JAE'S
BORROWED-NAME STOCK ACQUISITION OF HIBULL
[music ends abruptly]
[doorbell dings]
[dog barking]
[Myeong-u grunts]
- [tense music playing]
- [car engine turns over]
[Yoo-hui] Okay, thank you.
[tense music building]
[music ends abruptly]
Hello, my name is
Seo Hye-seung.
For the next three weeks,
I'll be lecturing
on Leadership in Mythology.
[all applauding]
What is the study of humanities?
It's like
stopping for a moment
to raise your head and look up at the sky.
It may seem like you're taking a break,
but you're actually looking
at the North Star
to help you understand
the direction in which you're facing.
[Hyung-ju] Professor Seo.
[breathes deeply]
Have you
been well?
Yes.
Has Jun-ho been doing well?
[inhales]
Well, he's a bit sad
that he doesn't get to see you anymore.
Please tell him that I'm sorry.
And that I'm always rooting for him.
[chuckles]
I really liked your lecture today.
It was fun.
Glad to hear it.
I'm glad I didn't waste your time.
I know you're a busy man.
Do you
want to get dinner?
[exhales]
Today, I
[Seok-jin] Professor Seo.
We should go. We're late.
Oh, we're just meeting
with the department chair.
Can you give me a second?
[Seok-jin] Hye-seung wants to stand
on her own from now on.
Please respect her wishes.
Pretty sure that's none of your concern.
I don't want to give up on her yet.
[chuckles]
We do have a lot in common.
I know that she was your first love, but
don't cross the line.
You let me worry about that.
[door opens]
See you at the next lecture. Let's go.
Ms. Seo.
[gentle music playing]
[Hye-seung sighs]
Thank you for getting me out of there.
Mm-hmm.
Want to get dinner?
I can't. I need to get home.
Min-ji's waiting. Good night.
Night.
[dramatic music playing]
Please, sit.
[exhales]
So I take it that you feel ready now.
I think so.
It's nice to meet you, ma'am.
If the two of you join forces,
then you might as well
be owners of Hibull already.
[chuckles] Let me help you with that.
I have a question for you.
I heard that you were briefly
in a relationship with him.
Why are you doing this?
Are you just looking for revenge?
Mmm
I'm not the type
to let others get the best of me.
[chuckles]
And of course, there's the money.
[Sung-jae sucks teeth, inhales]
Well, then.
Let's hear the game plan Ms. Jin
has prepared for us.
[dramatic sting]
You should be careful.
Why?
She still wants Lee Hyung-ju.
It's just a feeling.
[chuckles]
[dramatic sting]
I heard you gave us
a very generous donation.
Thank you very much.
It's the supporters like yourself
who keep this campaign strong.
[chuckles]
I hear your approval ratings are high.
Allow me to offer my congratulations.
You know I always support
the winning side, Congressman.
- Oh my.
- [both chuckle]
I came here
because I was curious about something.
Your thoughts
on Mr. Lee Hyung-ju's future wife.
I don't know.
I thought that was your job.
Aren't you in charge of his marriage?
Everyone wants him.
I'm just here to guide him
in the best possible direction.
And given that
the outcome of the situation
depends on what you want,
I have no choice but to come and ask you.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Well, as far as I'm aware,
you have two choices.
One of those choices, Ms. Jin,
could be a major risk factor
in this upcoming election.
I'm sorry, but in my line of work,
you end up finding out everything
about your members.
And in today's society,
information is most valuable.
Even more so than money.
What do you want from me?
Your right-hand woman, Go Ae-ran, asked me
to make sure that her daughter
is the one who marries Mr. Lee.
I was just wondering
if maybe you might feel the same way.
So that's what this is about.
Okay, I see what you're getting at.
I'll definitely keep it in mind,
since you're interested
in my election, that is.
[dramatic music building]
[music ends abruptly]
Why don't you ask Professor Jung
to marry you?
Why do you keep trying to make
[sighs]
Father.
It's my marriage.
I'm not interested in her.
If you marry her,
I promise
I will give you everything I own.
That was your mother's wish, right?
I mean, how many children do I have, huh?
You're all I've got!
All I want is for you
to marry a girl from a good family.
And then you can finally start building
a family of your own.
Then you should have treated my brother
a little better.
If he hadn't died like that,
he'd have been a good son to you.
[exhales shakily]
You don't need
to take on your brother's duty.
[suspenseful music playing]
You can get married
to Seo Hye-seung if you want.
Keep your nose
out of our family matters.
I'm going to take care of Mr. Lee.
Whether it's Jung Mi-jin or not.
[sighs] Just get to the point.
Your inheritance.
Give it up.
[dramatic music playing]
You can't have everything in life.
Let's each of us get what we require
for our own happiness.
Fairly
and peacefully.
[door slams shut]
[dramatic music building]
[music ends abruptly]
- [Hye-seung] Min-ji, what about breakfast?
- I'm late! I can't!
- Wait, wait!
- Bye!
Here. Hey, drink this at least.
Have fun at school.
- I'm late! Come on!
- [chuckles] Okay.
See you later.
- Okay.
- [door opens]
[reporter] The body of Choi Myeong-u,
former CEO of TX Engineering,
was discovered
in the Han River near Mapo Bridge.
The contents of a will
sent to a news station before his death
reveal details that Mr. Lee Hyung-ju,
CEO of Hibull,
the largest gaming company in the country,
forced Mr. Choi to give false testimony
against a lawyer identified as Ms. Jin.
Public opinion of Mr. Lee
is becoming increasingly critical
as a result of Mr. Choi Myeong-u's suicide
in the Han River.
On top of this,
rumors regarding Mr. Lee's sponsorship
of celebrities
and relationships with women
are spreading
on several private financial editorials
[TV clicks off]
[dramatic music playing]
[remote control thuds]
[knocks on door]
- Yeah.
- [door opens]
Mr. Lee, the pension department
is demanding
an emergency shareholders meeting.
Regarding what exactly?
Your removal as CEO, sir.
[sighs]
You violated the duty of good faith
in the swap agreement
executed by both companies, Mr. Lee.
And your actions caused the sudden drop
in Hibull stocks, including our share.
The stock price will be normalized
once the rumor turns out to be false.
The takeover with Apple
will go over without a hitch.
No, our assessment is different.
We demand that you stand down as CEO
until things calm down.
Pardon?
And I suggest our mutual partner,
Mr. Choi Sung-jae, execute the duties
of CEO in the meantime.
[tense music playing]
[music ends]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Hye-seung breathing heavily]
Hold on. What's your business here?
I'm here to meet with Mr. Lee Hyung-ju.
I have something urgent to tell him.
I wasn't notified of this.
Do you have an appointment with him?
[exhales]
[electronic chime]
Ms. Seo.
Ah.
Hello there.
[Ho-chan] Oh,
are you here to see Hyung-ju?
[Hye-seung] Yes.
I have to tell him something.
[Ho-chan] Uh,
Hyung-ju's super busy right now.
I'm pretty sure you can't talk.
I can tell him to call you later
if that works for you.
- Yes. Thank you.
- Sure.
- [Yoo-hui] Mr. Ju.
- Oh, Ms. Jin.
Do you know what Mr. Lee is gonna do?
Uh, he said he's going
to see Congressman Son.
- Oh, is that right?
- Yeah.
You know,
you were very rude to me that day.
- I'm sorry, sir.
- So what are you going to do now?
If you give up control of the company,
it won't be easy to get it back.
That's why I wanted to ask you
if I could possibly use your authority to
to help me take care of this issue.
[inhales] Hmm.
Could you do that for me?
[inhales] All right.
I'll set things in motion.
After all, I made you
with the scholarship foundation I built.
I can't just sit and watch you crumble.
Thank you very much, sir.
One condition.
You'll get married to a woman I choose.
What? What are you talking about, sir?
All of this happened because of one woman.
If you want to address
the root of the problem,
you need to marry someone suitable.
Can you understand that?
[exhales]
If you're talking
about Professor Jung Mi-jin,
there's someone else I'm interested in.
Oh, right on time.
Did I miss anything
Well, hello, Mr. Lee.
Gosh, look at you.
The two of you look great together.
I'll talk with the chairman
of the pension fund,
so don't you worry about anything.
An excellent businessman like you
shouldn't be mixed up in such rumors.
Sir, I didn't come here
to talk about marriage.
Ms. Jin is someone who is very dear to me.
She's talented too.
I thought you would be
a great match for her,
so I've had my eye on this
for a while now.
Oh, would you look at the time.
Well, you two talk.
Take good care of him.
Yes.

Does that matter right now, though?
What's your move?
Are you really going to let yourself
fall off the cliff?

[screams]
[Sung-jae grunts]
[Hyung-ju breathing heavily]
You son of a bitch.
[Sung-jae groaning]
MOTHER
[dramatic music building]
[music ends abruptly]
- [Mrs. Noh] Please, eat.
- [Ae-ran] Looks lovely.
[classical music playing]
[Mrs. Noh] Oh, there you are! [gasps]
[Yoo-sun] Long time no see, sir.
Your mother was kind enough
to invite me here to join you.
Last time, you left without saying hello
because you were too busy.
Why don't you say hi to Professor Jung?
Hello there.
I haven't seen you since that party.
We didn't even get a chance
to speak that night.
[exhales]
I hope you ladies
have a wonderful rest of your evening.
[sighs]
Well, please excuse me.
[grunts]
[exhales]
Mother, why do you
have to act like this too?
Calm down, please.
Do you think I wanted
to do this right now?
- All of this is for you
- Just stop it, please!
I feel like I'm losing my mind here.
[gentle music playing]
They came all the way out here. Please
I want you to think about my reputation.
I beg you.
[sighs]
[inhales]
[phone line ringing]
Yeah, school just let out.
What'd you make for my birthday?
Japchae and galbijjim?
Wow! On my way!
[ominous music building]
[music ends abruptly]
I'm afraid that my mother
caused all this trouble herself.
I'm so sorry.
You must be stressing out
about work these days, aren't you?
So propose to me.
You need me, don't you?
I'm sorry, but I already have feelings
for someone else.
Feelings?
[chuckles, inhales]
Go ahead and have feelings.
I've been in love before too.
They always change in the end.
You know that already, don't you?
I prefer things that don't change.
Like contracts.
We'll have a partnership.
A sound agreement
with a marriage contract.
What do you say?
[Mrs. Noh] They look so good together.
Absolutely.
"A match made in heaven".
The phrase really seems to suit them.
Oh.
Would you like another glass of wine?
Maybe with dessert?
- That sounds lovely.
- [chuckles]
[Yoo-sun chuckles]
Apparently, Congressman Son told Mr. Lee
that he wanted him to marry Jin Yoo-hui.
[exhales]
Leave it to me.
Of course.
- [sighs]
- Mmm.
How'd you know it was her birthday?
It showed up on my phone.
- She's not here?
- Mmm.
Ah.
I wanted to give it to her myself.
She said she wanted a new phone.
[exhales]
Her mom's friend
can give her a present like this, right?
[Hye-seung exhales]
Yeah, thank you.
- Have a good night, okay?
- [cell phone vibrates]
- I'll go.
- Okay.
Min-ji, where are you?
Yes, this is she.
[breathes shakily] What happened?
[dramatic music playing]
[Hye-seung panting, sobbing]
Doctor! Please,
you have to save my Min-ji, please!
- I can't have anything happen to her.
- Hye-seung, stop.
- Please save Min-ji!
- Hye-seung! Hye-seung!
- Hye-seung!
- [crying]
Calm down.
Hye-seung! Hye-seung!
[crying] Min-ji!
It's okay.
It's all right now.
- [whimpering]
- [music ends abruptly]
[footsteps approaching]
How could you?
Why would you do this?
Please have a seat.
I've dedicated decades of my life to you.
There's nothing
that I haven't done for you.
I even helped Jin Yoo-hui for you,
but now
you're choosing her
over me and my daughter?
I'm sorry, but now
the time has come
for me to reap what I've sewed.
I have no choice.
Do you
think you can win this without me?
Ae-ran
You need me by your side.
We need to succeed together.
If someone gets in my way
well
Choi Myeong-u won't be the last to go.
[dramatic sting]
If she's in coma for more than two weeks,
we can't do much.
What exactly does that mean?
[heart monitor beeping]
We'll see how things go.
[whimpering]
Sir, please save her. [sobbing]
You have to. Please,
can't you do something to save her?
Yes. We'll do everything we can.
[Hye-seung continues sobbing]
[Yoo-hui] What's your move?
Are you really going to let yourself
fall off the cliff?
Or
take my hand?
So propose to me.
You need me, don't you?
[Ho-chan sighs]
Did you meet with Congressman Son?
Is he gonna help?
[sighs]
Oh right.
Ms. Seo came by a few days ago.
What? Seo Hye-seung?
I think she was worried about you,
but I sent her away
to avoid any rumors.
You don't have the time
to meet with her anyway, right?
Why did you wait until now
to tell me that?
[heart monitor beeping]
[breathing shakily] Min-ji?
[exhales shakily]
[knocks on door]
[gasps]
[sniffles]
Ms. Yoo, how did you get in here?
Your child almost died.
It's a miracle
she's alive.
[sniffles]
I'm thankful even for that.
You're lucky
the driver didn't do his job right.
If he had,
she wouldn't be alive right now.
Wait. What are you talking about?
[gasps]
[gentle music playing]
[breathing shakily]
[inhales]
- [tires screech]
- [Min-ji grunts]
[driver] I'm so sorry.
Work has been so stressful.
I've I've been so tired.
I must have fallen asleep.
I'm so sorry.
[sobbing]
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
He lied. [sniffles]
[sobbing]
