Hyeon Min,
you look absolutely stunning today.
Yes, she really does.
Of course, you'd expect nothing less
from the Soonyang family.
That must be well over one carat.
- What about your honeymoon?
- Here comes the groom-to-be!
- Here comes the groom-to-be!
- Here comes the groom-to-be!
- Here comes the groom-to-be!
- Oh, my.
Stop. Don't go any further.
- We'll stop here.
- Oh, dear. I'm thirsty.
- Come in and have a drink.
- No, we should
- Feed us first.
- Come on, guys.
- Hurry up.
- Let's just go.
- Gosh, hold on.
- Keep it down!
- The thing is
- Come on. Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Father, Seong Jun and his friends
delivered all the wedding gifts.
They're having a feast
at his in-laws' place
When did you get here?
I was on my way home after playing golf.
But I was starving,
so I thought I should stop by.
Your son is getting married.
You must be so happy
that you don't even have to eat.
Oh, Father.
Have you prepared a wedding gift
for your eldest grandson?
Will you give him shares
in Soonyang Corporation?
How many?
I'm sure Father will just take care of it.
Why are you worried about it?
Well, I'm Seong Jun's uncle.
If my gift is too little compared
to his grandfather's,
I'll be embarrassed.
Right, Father?
The radish kimchi is perfectly ripe.
Looks like we're ready to welcome
the new member of the family.
Father.
Can I have more water?
I got it.
What is it?
Seong Jun
is now backed by his in-laws,
who are influential people.
So you need not worry about him.
Father
will start working on grooming Seong Jun
as his successor.
After all, that is the family's rule.
Primogeniture.
We found
a brain arteriovenous malformation, sir.
(AVM and subarachnoid haemorrhage)
The location is quite risky
if we were to perform surgery.
(Medical Diagnosis)
Yes, Mr. Oh.
Let's just give up.
I was wrong about DMC.
Like HBO and CNN,
I thought cable channels
would soon beat the national networks.
But it can only happen
in large countries with a population
of 100 million, like the US.
No, you're wrong.
It may take some time,
but that day will come soon.
The day when cable networks
and various other channels
would produce content
that would put national TV to shame.
I know it.
You don't have time to give
such an absurd spiel like a prophet.
We must be objective and face our reality.
Objectively speaking,
our reality is that
Jin Seong Jun will be next in line
for the throne at Soonyang
the moment we give up on DMC.
Then our plan to own Soonyang
will be nothing but a foolish delusion.
I refuse to give up on DMC.
Buy and Sell Home Shopping,
the only profitable cable channel,
decided today that
they'd sell off the company.
Do you still not understand what it means?
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.
It means the channel needs a new owner.
And it's time
for us to decide who it should be.
Mason, you never disappoint.
What's with him?
- Where are you going? Hey!
- Come with me!
Are you sure we can meet him here?
According to his official schedule,
he's abroad on a business trip now.
I bet he doesn't want anyone to know
that he's staying here.
(Soonyang Hospital)
If it's top secret,
how did you find out?
(Power of Attorney, Jin Yoon Ki)
(Soonyang Hospital VIP Patient List)
What I thought
was my grandfather's warning
turned out to be a lottery ticket.
And
an unscratched one, at that.
Let's go.
(Soonyang Hospital)
Allow me to introduce myself, sir.
I am Jin Do Jun.
Chairman Jin's youngest grandson?
Yes, I thought you looked familiar.
I heard you went to
Seoul National University School of Law.
I told them over and over
not to let anyone in.
How did you get in?
Hey! Anybody outside?
Those fools
Your security team did nothing wrong, sir.
I struck a deal with them.
I told them I'd send out a press release
if they didn't let me see you.
Ju Yeong Il,
the chairman of Daeyoung Group,
is undergoing heart valve surgery,
but he chose
Soonyang Medical Center,
not Daeyoung Medical Center.
There is no better way to prove
that Soonyang has
the best cardiothoracic surgery department
in the country.
Chairman Jin, that old snake.
He promised me
that it'd be kept confidential.
How dare he blindside me like this?
Darn it.
My grandfather doesn't know
that I'm here, sir.
And
it should stay that way,
because I'm here to tell you
how Daeyoung Distribution
can beat Soonyang Transportation
and become number one
in the industry, sir.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
(Reborn Rich)
Gosh, thank you.
- Young Ki.
- Hi, Hwa Young.
- Hi, congratulations.
- Oh, my. Mr. Mayor.
You took time out of your busy schedule
to join us today.
- Thanks, Chang Je.
- It's my pleasure.
I see that the groom's father
is very excited.
Is it because your son is getting married?
Or is it because of Father's wedding gift?
Gosh, Hwa Young. You have no idea
because you don't have kids.
It's better not to know. It really is.
I mean, look at me.
I still have to serve my mother-in-law
while walking on eggshells
around my daughter-in-law.
Mom has to live long.
I'm sorry, Jeong Rae.
Hwa Young, that is not what I meant
- Goodness.
- We'll head in first.
- Let's go.
- You made it, Yoon Ki.
Congratulations.
- Congratulations, Jeong Rae.
- Thank you.
Thank you all for coming.
- Yes, go on in.
- Let's go.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
- Hey!
- Sir.
Thanks.
Okay. My nephew is getting married.
I should prepare this much.
- Move! It's our turn.
- All right, next.
- She looks gorgeous.
- Hey, hurry.
- Hyeon Min! You look stunning.
- For real!
- Look at the camera.
- You look so beautiful.
- You look absolutely gorgeous.
- All right. In 1, 2, 3.
- Nice, beautiful.
- You look really stunning.
- Look at the camera.
- Oh, my.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Would you mind giving us some privacy?
- Not at all.
- My gosh.
I must tell her something.
- My gosh!
- How romantic!
- We'll leave you to it, then.
- See you inside!
- See you.
- You look so stunning today.
- Congratulations.
- See you.
You look beautiful.
More beautiful than I expected.
That's not what you wanted
to talk to me about, right?
It's such a shame.
I want to brag about my beautiful bride.
And you would've been happy
to have him here.
Who?
Do Jun.
Who?
The guy you like.
Jin Do Jun.
Do Jun can't come today.
He doesn't have the guts
to face my grandfather.
You're not waiting for him, are you?
Stop.
You see, Do Jun
The DMC deal Miracle took
was too much for him.
They've decided to hand it over
to Soonyang Construction.
This means
that I managed to get my revenge,
like you said.
If you knew everything, then why
I told you.
You truly amuse me.
It's funny how you think you're
the only one with a thinking brain.
It's ridiculous that you think
you can always have your way.
And you believe that everyone
would like you. That's
I guess that's kind of cute.
Think about it, Hyeon Min.
The world wouldn't be so kind to only you.
Shut your mouth.
Walking out the door now doesn't mean
you can undo your decision.
People will say you dared
to call off your wedding to Soonyang.
You cannot call off this wedding.
You may ditch your pride as it
doesn't bring you any money,
but you can never give up
on your market value
as the only daughter
of the Hyunsung Daily family.
I still find you very amusing.
Is this what you wanted
to talk to me about?
- Is that why
- You didn't choose me as a man,
and the feelings are mutual.
Let's keep things that way even
after the wedding.
You get what I'm saying, right?
I figured you should know the rules
before you joined the game.
Let's play fair and square.
See you inside.
Hello.
Last but not least,
the highlight of the ceremony awaits us.
The bride and groom
will now march together.
Let us bless the bride and groom
with a big round of applause.
Promise me one thing.
Whatever you do,
you will not dirty the family register.
The bride and groom will now march.
Father, you need to see this.
(Jin Seong Jun's Slush Fund)
I don't think you need to worry
about Seong Jun.
He's extremely clever and resourceful.
Is this your wedding gift for Seong Jun?
Well, he's only starting out,
so you should train him well.
(Jin Seong Jun's Slush Fund)
Did you think I wouldn't know about this
when you knew about it too?
You knew?
What? The land-banking
for the New Seoul Town project.
You knew that it was all Seong Jun,
not Young Ki?
My grandson, Seong Jun.
I was right there the moment he was born
instead of his father,
who was in jail at the time.
He is my eldest grandson,
the one and only.
Okay. Everyone is ready, right?
All right, here we go.
One, two
Hey, Do Jun!
I'm sorry I'm late.
- All right.
- Hey, come here.
Okay, here we go.
Smile, everyone.
Well, since we were interrupted anyway
Mr. Mayor, do you mind switching?
- With her?
- No, with Mr. Jin.
- Smile.
- You two can switch.
- You can stay where you are.
- No, why should he
Why? Do you have nothing to smile
about these days?
Mr. Jin Dong Ki, please take your hands
out of your pockets.
- Yes, thank you.
- Grandfather, you were right.
Oh, Hyeong Jun.
I was foolish.
All right. Give me a bigger smile.
I've given up on my goal
of buying Soonyang with my money.
All right, here we go. Smile, please!
We'll take it now.
One, two, three.
My gosh, thank you all for coming.
- Congratulations, sir.
- Congratulations.
- Oh, my. You made it too.
- Congratulations, sir.
- Congratulations, sir.
- Congratulations, sir.
- Sir.
- Yes?
That little
I tried to keep my cool but couldn't.
I was so fuming mad
that I ran here as soon
as they removed the IV from my arm.
I wanted to take it up with you in person.
What's going on? What happened?
Look.
Don't you have enough to worry
about with your foolish sons?
Your grandson.
You need to teach him better!
You may leave.
Congratulations on your wedding.
As for DMC, I'm sorry.
How dare you think
of going up against Soonyang?
You're smart. Why did you make
such a mistake?
Grandfather may think
it's his youngest grandson's prank,
but I'm different.
"Don't start a fight
that already has an ending."
That's what you said.
It doesn't look like a fight
that already has an ending.
Yes.
Is this true?
The spots at DMC have been filled?
Is it true?
That's why I was late to your wedding.
The deadline set out
by Seoul City was today,
so I had to wrap up everything
for the agreement.
Oh, right. I will not hand over
the DMC project
to Soonyang Group.
What on earth did you do?
Are you implying
that there is no sensible, legal way
for me to find companies
that would support the DMC project
because of Soonyang's
meddling cowardly antics?
Is that what you meant, Seong Jun?
Tell me.
How can Daeyoung beat Soonyang
and become number one again
in the distribution industry?
Is there a way?
I heard you decided to sell
Daeyoung Distribution.
Now's not the time to sell it.
You should acquire another company.
What did you say?
A home shopping channel is up for sale.
You should acquire
Buy and Sell Home Shopping.
Look, SNU Law student.
Don't you know the government's policy
after the financial crisis?
Such an aggressive expansion strategy
through acquisitions
is a relic of a bygone era.
Daeyoung has no interest
in showbiz,
where fools are busy goofing around.
It's not showbiz, sir.
It's distribution
and logistics.
Daeyoung's specialty.
It's a mink coat
with a classic, timeless design
offered to you
at an affordable price point.
At a glance, you can tell
People no longer buy what they need.
They buy what they want.
Thanks to the home shopping channels
that stimulate
the impulse purchase instinct 24-7.
In the comfort of their own home,
with a single click of a button.
That's a given.
As you can see here, the luxurious sheen
And all home shopping channels
need a logistics company to move goods.
If Daeyoung has a logistics company
and a home shopping channel as well
It'd be like killing 2 birds with 1 stone,
killing 2 flies with 1 slap,
and mashing 2 potatoes with 1 fork.
Am I right?
I suggest you acquire
a home shopping channel, sir.
Then Daeyoung will soon be
the number one distribution company again.
He was very persuasive. So what can I do?
I had no choice but to give in.
Daeyoung is joining DMC.
Sit back and wait.
We'll retrieve the number one title
in no time.
I can't see you out.
Take care of your health.
How petty.
Is this how you treat your guests?
As you ordered, I prepared
a share transfer agreement
for Mr. Jin Seong Jun.
Sir!
It's okay. Hold on.
(Share Transfer Agreement)
(Share Transfer Agreement)
Symptoms include
sudden headaches
and temporary mobility impairments.
(Share Transfer Agreement)
Mr. Lee.
Yes, sir.
About Director Jung
Let's make sure he'll keep his lips sealed.
Gosh.
Oh, dear.
My children can't find out about this yet.
Oh, I'm okay now.
On behalf of
the ten million citizens of Seoul,
I'd like to propose a toast.
Here's to their forever love. Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations, Seong Jun.
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- My gosh.
- Congratulations, son.
It's sweet.
I guess I'm finally growing up
now that my son is married.
Father. Thanks to all
your help and support,
I managed to raise Seong Jun well,
who has now found his better half.
Thank you, Father.
Please say a few words.
Seong Jun and his wife
will always remember and heed your advice.
I'm sure they'll live a happy life together
and won't let you down.
He's asking for the wedding gift, isn't he?
Does it really need
all the bells and whistles?
The reception is over.
The coronation ceremony has begun.
My advice?
Who wants to listen to this old man nag?
You're all curious about
my wedding gift for Seong Jun.
Doesn't anyone here not know
how precious Seong Jun is to me?
My gift is
something Seong Jun had asked for.
Oh, my.
- Mr. Lee.
- Yes, sir.
Thank you.
(Transfer Notice,
Geochang Distribution Warehouse)
You asked me to let you
take responsibility as a real adult.
Starting Monday, Seong Jun
will work
at Geochang Distribution Warehouse.
- Father.
- The notice states that he's now
in charge of the warehouse.
The illegal land-banking
of the New Seoul Town.
And we failed to land
the construction of DMC.
You should take responsibility,
don't you think?
That is what a real adult ought to do.
Father, but this is
As for his shares in the company,
we can revisit the issue another time,
but you want him to work
at a distribution warehouse?
As of today,
Soonyang
will no longer follow
the rule of primogeniture.
Either buy all the shares
with your money
or prove your competence
and abilities as a leader.
Suit yourselves.
The one who can make Soonyang
bigger and better than I can
will get everything,
including my shares
and the right to run the business.
Father.
How could you do this to me? How?
After everything
I've done for you and Soonyang
Young Ki, about your knee
Director Jung at the medical center said
that the medicines these days
worked very well.
Fixing it will be no problem at all.
Don't miss your doctor's appointments.
If you don't take care of yourself,
- who will?
- Father!
Don't you know whom I love the most
out of all my children?
It's Soonyang.
Dong Ki, do you know anything about this?
Hey! Jin Hwa Young, you little
What are you saying? What would I know?
You know, at the wedding,
Dong Ki and Father talked for a while.
- Hey!
- Am I wrong?
- Dong Ki, you little
- I don't know anything!
Well, if what Father said is true,
Seong Jun must know the reason.
Hey. Am I wrong, Seong Jun?
That brat
- Hey!
- Hyeon Min!
- My gosh!
- Hyeon Min! Oh, dear.
Hey! What's wrong with her?
Wake up, Hyeon Min. Open your eyes!
My goodness. Why did she faint suddenly?
- Honey!
- Seong Jun! Call an ambulance!
- Wake up!
- Why did she pass out suddenly?
- Hyeon Min, wake up!
- Hello? We need an ambulance
You need to teach him better!
How dare he come at me like that,
without even batting an eye?
He has quite a nerve, that kid.
But he sure knows
how to catch the whiff of money,
just like you.
He reminds me of the Jin Yang Cheol
I met at the repair shop
in Incheon 50 years ago.
He takes after you.
I had let my guard down
because none of your sons
takes after you.
But your grandson got me good.
He sure made me flinch.
I was foolish.
I've given up on my goal of buying Soonyang
with my money.
Instead,
I'll use what I learned from you.
Okay. Everyone's ready, right?
Here we go. We'll take it now.
I am your grandson. But even against me,
you used all the authority and power
Soonyang had.
I'll do the same.
I will do everything in my power
to buy Soonyang.
All right. Let's do this,
for one last time.
- Smile, please!
- Smile, Grandfather.
We'll take it now.
One, two, three.
Mr. Lee.
Do you think so too?
Pardon?
That Do Jun takes after me.
Do you think that makes sense?
It went as you planned, young expat.
Congratulations.
At last, you, the youngest grandson
have a shot at inheriting Soonyang.
I didn't break the rule of primogeniture
because I needed a shot.
I'm still intent on buying the company.
I know better than anyone else
just how much
my dear Soonyang family
loves and cherishes each other.
What?
They'll show faces
unlike any they showed before.
Now everyone has a shot
at becoming the next owner of Soonyang.
That's too much money
to stay loyal to each other.
It's late.
Stop protesting and go to bed.
Good for you.
You can tell I'm protesting?
Did you have to go and do that
on a wedding day of all days?
How shocked must the new bride
have been to
If he did something wrong,
you could talk to him nicely
and teach him what he should do.
You have a way of hurting the kids.
Does coddling them make them
a better person?
His dad is incapable of teaching his son
when the boy goes off course.
His uncle is terrified
he'll lose what's his to his nephew
and is wary about everything.
And his aunt
thinks less of her father
than a stick with poop on the end.
Out of the kids we had,
none of them have their heads
screwed on straight.
Then
what about Yoon Ki?
Do you think I don't know?
Why do you not care for Yoon Ki's family?
You gave him the foundation
that makes nothing.
What do you think people will say of me?
They'll say that I discriminate
the kid that isn't mine.
That nonsense again.
Didn't you hear what I said earlier?
The one who makes Soonyang bigger,
whoever that may be,
gets to keep it all.
Remember this one thing.
Our Yoon Ki.
I fed and clothed him the exact same way
as I did with Young Ki and Dong Ki.
I stayed up at night, worried for them all.
It wasn't because
I pitied him for not having a mother.
It was so as not to ruin your reputation.
I need you to
remember that one thing.
(Soonyang Hospital)
Director Jung says it's not serious.
Don't worry too much.
Okay.
You talk to her parents
so they don't worry.
I should ask her mother
if she's weak or sick.
I know she had a scare,
but what woman makes her husband
stay up to nurse her
on their wedding night?
He already has a lot on his plate.
You should go home and rest.
Okay.
I put you through a lot today.
We can talk about the rest later.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Tell your mother.
I'm not the weak one. Her son is.
What are you doing?
That's what I want to say.
What were you going to do?
Were you going to run up and throw a punch?
Why? To take it out on Jin Do Jun?
Were you worried he'd get punched?
Pull yourself together.
The rest of your family
are just waiting for you to mess up.
They're always preparing to drag you down.
Will you feed yourself to them so easily?
I can't accept that.
Remember.
You're only allowed
to show them your back
when I'm there.
Because we at least are a team.
Can you handle it if I show my back?
I warned you that
it's bad for you to overestimate yourself.
If you look down on someone,
you end up paying dearly.
This is the only time
I'll let you off for hitting me.
It's our wedding night,
so I'll remember it as fierce foreplay.
Can I go?
It's my wedding night.
I'd like to sleep in a room
that smells nice.
To be honest.
(Soonyang Group)
As per the chairman's wishes,
we must reorganize the subsidiaries you own
between you.
First, Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki.
You'll remain Vice-Chairman
of Soonyang Corporation and Electronics,
but on top of that,
you now have the same authority
to make decisions as the chairman.
Why?
So he can hold me responsible
and exile me too
if business profits go down?
Executive Director Jin Dong Ki.
You'll serve as vice-chairman
of the whole group,
and manage Heavy Machinery, Chemicals,
the stock firm,
and Soonyang's asset management.
If he's vice-chairman,
does that make him Young Ki's equal?
Why would you say we're equals?
So what if I'm in charge of a whole lot?
None of them are worth anything.
Heavy Machinery
and Chemicals put together
make less than 60 percent
of what Electronics does.
Soonyang Department Store
will merge
with the hotel and supermarket chains.
The new Soonyang Distribution Group
will be a separate entity.
The necessary procedures
will be taken care of soon.
What does that mean?
He's giving me a separate group
because I'm married
and no longer part of this family?
It's not just a small group.
The hotel chain includes the condos
Wait, the golf courses too?
You're taking
the main pillar of the business.
You still get to live in the main house.
The separation is a demand
made by the government and IMF.
The future of your group
depends on whether
the supermarket chain goes nationwide.
Chairman Jin
has given you a chance
to show what you can do.
To separate the subsidiaries,
we must sort who owns how much
and who owes how much.
That is the amount
you must repay your brothers' subsidiaries.
This much?
So you had a hard time?
I did.
If you need that much money,
you should talk to
CEO Oh Se Hyeon of Miracle Investment.
It's a company that has
the most cash flow in Korea now.
- Put me down.
- Oh, dear
You want me to ask Do Jun for help?
What?
Stop it.
Why do you think Dad made that announcement
at the wedding?
What?
He'd always been displeased with Young Ki.
And there's no way Dong Ki
or I suddenly impressed him.
The only change is Do Jun's existence.
Jin Do Jun, Miracle's majority shareholder.
Do you still think
I should go to him for money?
Well
Oh, dear
("Everyone's First Love, Lee Hae In")
Have some tea.
("Star Turned Soonyang Housewife")
("From Star to Royal Family")
Darn it.
What is it now?
Don't you think you should get
the department store
to do something special for Lee Hae In?
("Everyone's First Love, Lee Hae In")
("Wedding of the Century")
He looks like his mom.
Wait, what's this?
What is this?
Who says money can't buy youth?
How is she my mom's age?
She's prettier than I am.
Life is so unfair.
Look at Jin Do Jun.
He doesn't have to study for the bar
like we do.
He can inherit a subsidiary,
marry some girl from a rich family,
and live happily in luxury for generations.
That doesn't suit him.
A face like that goes
with a fateful relationship
with a huge star.
The most pointless thing
is to worry about celebrities
and rich people.
Are you two that sure
you'll pass the second exam?
We might care what Jin Do Jun does,
but I bet he doesn't care about us.
Can we not mind him at all now?
It's so useless.
Was mentioning Jin Do Jun something
to get told off for?
Please come this way.
(Soonyang Department Store
1999 S/S VIP Private Fitting Show)
Please wait here.
- Do Jun.
- Mother.
Are you here to see your aunt?
Yes. You too?
Yes.
Gosh.
Don't I look strange?
What?
Does it show that I tried hard
to look young?
No. You look beautiful.
Trust Aunt Hwa Young's eye.
She asked you to work in fashion
at the department store.
She doesn't ask just anyone.
- That is true, isn't it?
- Yes.
Mother. Both Hyeong Jun and I
are adults now.
If there's anything you want to do,
you should do it now.
You even have a trusted investor.
Right here.
Your dad
became an outcast because he married me.
Now, at last,
I think they're accepting us
as a member of the family.
That's how I feel.
At least this time,
I won't get in your way.
Will you please wait here for a while?
Ms. Jin will be here soon.
Ms. Lee, please come with me.
- See you.
- Go ahead.
We'll show
the 1999 S/S collection to celebs
of the fashion world and VIP customers.
What is it you want me to do?
(Soonyang Department Store
1999 S/S VIP Private Fitting Show)
She's here.
I like this colour less
than the one that came out
in the previous season.
Last season's item
would suit your skin tone better.
- Yes.
- But you already bought that.
How about the skirt?
I'm not sure. Can I see
how it looks at the back?
Sure.
- Well?
- I like it.
Okay.
Go ahead.
You have a great eye.
You really do. I'm envious.
No one can beat time.
Lee Hae In is no longer a star.
She profited enough
by marrying into the Jin family.
I heard she was treated like a princess.
She's from a different background.
That's true.
Come on.
So? Did you enjoy the show?
If you have anything to say,
please say it to me directly, Aunt.
Do not step over the line!
Know your place.
Like this?
Why do you think
we accepted your father,
born out of wedlock?
And why did we accept your mom
without saying anything,
who was the talk of the world?
For a single reason.
It was to display the noblesse oblige
of Soonyang
to the world.
I see.
A kind
of a showcase.
Don't you dare delude yourself
into thinking
that you can be a rightful heir.
You guys
are different
from us.
I shouldn't be saying this only to you.
That's how people work.
You have to learn by experience
not to forget.
Since you're a smart kid,
I hope these words were enough.

A department store. A resort. Golf. Hotel.
(Soonyang Group)
It's all consumer industry.
I'm sure they took
a big blow after the IMF crisis
and suffered from a huge deficit.
But he took everything here
and gave it to his only daughter?
The chairman is showing tough love
for his girl.
I picked out a company Miracle
should invest in.
It's the hottest IT venture company now.
New Data Technology.
It's about to get listed on KOSDAQ
at the end of the month.
There's a huge attention
over the electronic communication field.
Some even presume them to go up
by four times the offering price.
What's their business
that makes them so hot?
Free internet calls.
You knew, Howard?
(Soonyang Group)
It's an unforgettable name.
New Data Technology.
New Data Technology successfully launched
their online call service.
Young Jun, bump up the AC!
Did you buy it?
Everyone has bought
that New Data Technology stocks.
Hit a new maximum price
just ten more times.
Then I'll quit working right away.
Is it that good?
Mr. Kim bought
a car after he invested in that.
- A car?
- Yes!
- Really?
- His new car?
It began at 1.50 dollars,
then got up to 300 dollars in 6 months.
It skyrocketed 200 times.
But it dropped by 98 percent
of the highest price in just a year.
Another bearish factor hits the market.
The price plummeted down to five dollars
after hitting a record of 300 dollars.
It was the most beloved item
that faced the most wretched ending
in the history of the stock market.
A symbol of the dot-com bubble era,
New Data Technology.
Wait, do you already have
an investment plan?
I doubt it.
Mr. Majority Shareholder here thinks
the dot-com fad is a speculative bubble.
Miracle won't invest in it, Rachael.
No.
You clearly told me previously
that you won't
I clearly said I will invest
when the flower wilts
and it comes to fruition.
- When is that?
- Now.
(New Data Technology About the Company)
Let's join the wagon.
New Data Technology.
Let me report back on 4-2.
It looks like he has taken interest
in stock trading.
He's often visiting stock firms,
and I could tell through his phone calls
that he invested a huge amount
in a venture business.
Yes, what was the name again?
New Data Technology?
It's a newly listed IT venture company.
They began at 1.50 dollars,
and stock firms presume
it'll reach up to 40 dollars.
Wait, then 300,000 dollars
will give me 10 million dollars?
Are you sure about this?
How is their business?
IT businesses are
the growth driver
of the current government.
Where do you think
the money they put out
before the general election will go?
Above all, the research team
of Soonyang Investment is
the top of the industry, Vice-Chairman Jin.
Where does Do Jun get all this information?
That young kid
is the owner of Miracle Investment?
Did Father
break the rule of primogeniture
because of him?
Is the guy that I planted next
to Do Jun doing well?
He's been doing well
since he returned from his break.
Do Jun is not suspicious of him either.
Call the Business Department
of the investment firm.
Tell them to do everything
to buy the stocks of New Data Technology.
So? How much do we need right now, Ms. Im?
A total of 400 million dollars.
It costs 120 million dollars
to make a nationwide chain network
for Soonyang Mart.
Also, we have to pay back
Soonyang Electronics
and Soonyang Heavy Machinery
for share acquisition,
150 and 130 million, respectively.
How much more can we borrow from the bank?
We've already taken out loans
to our limit from our primary bank.
I see. That leaves me no choice.
I need to look into funds from Myeong-dong.
The private loan industry agreed
not to put any cash out
into the market right now.
The interest rate for banks
is speculated to go up to 25 percent.
So they'll hold it back
until that moment comes
What's the alternative?
I'm sorry.
All you can say
as the director of finances is
that you're sorry?
You may leave.
Ms. Jin, about the payables
for Soonyang Electronics
and Soonyang Heavy Machinery.
If they would postpone
the time limit of payment
or reduce the interest rate,
it'll help us hold out.
Sure, I'll do that for you.
(Soonyang Fire Insurance)
Of course, my only baby sister
is in trouble.
(Soonyang Distribution Obligation
Fulfilment Between Affiliations)
Right, Ms. Jin. Are you aware of this?
If the stock transactions
are incomplete between affiliations,
the separation process
will also be delayed.
Is it okay for Father to find out?
What if he
makes a scene saying you are incompetent
Hello? Hello
Father was harsh on you.
How can golf clubs and hotels do well
In this economy?
People show tough love
for those they love the most,
but it's for those who can take it.
Just wrap it up and come back to the group.
I'll have a chat with Father.
(CEO Jin Hwa Young)
If you need that much money,
you should talk to
CEO Oh Se Hyeon of Miracle Investment.
I told you, didn't I?
It's a company that has
the most cash flow in Korea now.
No.
(Jin Hwa Young)
Chairman Jin has given you
a chance to show what you can do.
I'm here sitting with you, Mr. Oh.
But people are so weird.
They all say
the true owner of Miracle is
our own Do Jun.
We did begin with his pocket money
of 24 million dollars from Chairman Jin.
What do you think, Mr. Oh?
Does he have a knack
for investing unlike his young age?
I didn't know you were here
for a parent-teacher meeting.
Doesn't it feel unfair?
You brought up Miracle to this day
with your own power,
but it has degenerated
into a rich kid's trophy.
Everything in this world
comes with a price tag.
There is no noble value
that cannot be converted into money.
People who dare to say
love is an invaluable thing
are people who are
like thieves that love free things.
If you cannot buy happiness with money,
then it's because you don't have enough.
- So?
- If you're in need of Miracle,
then you can pay the price.
As long as I'm the CEO of Miracle,
we won't cause any influence over
the succession of Soonyang.
I'm saying you don't have to mind Do Jun.
I'm with a partner who speaks my language.
I need 400 million dollars.
As soon as possible.
Our partnership also comes
with a price, Ms. Jin.
Give us 30 percent
of Soonyang Department Store's stocks
as the collateral.
Thirty percent of my shares?
Are you saying the department store
is only worth that little?
I'm taking them only as collateral
until you pay everything you owe us.
The consumer sentiment will return on track
by the end of the year.
I'm sure you'll work even harder
for the collateral's sake.
(Acknowledgement of Debt)
(Signed by Oh Se Hyeon, Jin Hwa Young)
Right.
You wanted to know
if Do Jun had the knack for investing.
Yes.
I put on a huge fight this time.
He insisted that
he won't invest in IT companies.
You know, right? New Data Technology.
New Data?
You don't know?
This is the new idol of the KOSDAQ
that hit many new record prices
as soon as it was listed.
I see.
It began at 1.50 dollars,
then reached 10 dollars in a week,
so that's seven times.
Oh, my.
It'll surely rise up
to at least 40 dollars.
Forty
I would've been in big trouble
if I had listened to him.
- Excuse me.
- Wait.
It already jumped up 7 times, yet it can reach 40 dollars?
How is that possible?
It's a shame that Do Jun couldn't see that,
but he's still young.
Is that a good enough answer?
Sure.
Excuse me.
What?
Hwa Young paid back what she owes you too?
She must have paid back
what she owes the Electronics too.
Man, that means we cannot revert
the separation
of Hwa Young's affiliations.
Our father has an only daughter
with great initiative.
Where did she find such
a huge amount of money?
Could it be Father?
Miracle?
So the 400 million dollar
came out of Do Jun's pocket?
They must have requested collateral
for that huge amount.
If she put out a percentage of her shares,
her managerial rights
may fall in danger after the merger.
She went on her way
with 8,000 employees to look after.
I'm sure she has a plan.
The department store,
the hotel, and the golf club.
Find all the cash we can
in the Distribution Group.
I'm going to invest everything
in New Data Technology.
CEO Jin, that sounds a little dangerous.
You heard the Research
of Soonyang Investment too.
They said it'll go up
to 40 dollars within 1 month.
It'll rise up by four fold!
Also, the Business Department
of Soonyang Investment
who has
the highest earnings in the industry
has been purchasing the shares
of New Data Technology.
While Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki,
that man who knows these things,
is earning four fold, five fold of profit,
should I sit around doing nothing?
But Ms. Jin,
you cannot make private use
of the department store's fund
I'm not keeping this for myself.
I'll return the principal and the profit
back to the department store
in just a month.
Don't worry about it.
Make sure you find
three million dollars at all costs,
then invest it into New Data Technology.
(CEO Jin Hwa Young)
Mr. Oh, it's me, Jin Hwa Young.
You bought some too?
You put in three million dollars?
CEO Jin, listen up.
Once the stocks go up
to 40 dollars in a month,
you have to sell them without looking back.
There is a false report going around
between people in finances saying
it'll go up to 100 and 200 dollars,
but do not look back.
You must focus on managing
the department store.
I am sharing this with you
not as a creditor
A partner.
but as a partner.
How long will this rally
of new top price continue?
Up to about 300 dollars.
Come on, not 30, but 300 dollars?
Says who? Was this in a finance report?
Mr. Oh.
- Me?
- Mason?
If what's moving the stock price
isn't their technology or business,
then the answer
to this soaring price is evident.
Hosts of manipulators.
Yes.
They'll need the money
by the nomination
of next year's general election.
If the level of increase remains the same,
then it'll go up to 300 dollars.
But why 40 dollars?
Why did you tell her
to pull out at 40 dollars?
She put in 3 million,
so she'll make 12 million.
Exactly four times.
That's good enough.
It'll make her happy for making money
and feel confident about investing.
Miracle Investment, Rachael speaking.
It's Vice-Chairman Jin Dong Ki.
One second.
It's the secretary
of Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki.
He's looking for you, Mr. Oh.
I called you out today
to be a good brother.
Hwa Young, no.
CEO Jin Hwa Young
borrowed money from you, right?
I'll pay that back.
In return,
you can give me the shares
of Soonyang Department Store
you got as collateral.
I'm guessing you weren't happy
that the department store separated
from Soonyang Group.
The IMF doesn't know
what the situation in Korea is like.
But at this point in time,
large corporations
must stick together to survive.
We must push and pull each other forward.
I'm sure you've heard
the term Korean democratization.
It's the same thing.
Korea needs a Korean way
of economic democratization.
Giving work to specific places.
Corrupt ties with politics.
Reckless business diversification.
Illegal managerial succession.
Things like these?
You do not want
the separation of the affiliation
because you're afraid
you won't inherit as much.
Hand over her collateral to me.
I demand 800 million dollars.
You're going to get twice
as much from this?
This is 30 percent of the shares
of your sister's department store.
I'll need at least twice as much
to betray my partner.
I'll give you twice as much.
Give me the shares
for the department store.
I believe Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
wanted this separation.
Do you think he'll be happy
if the collateral
ends up in your hands?
I'm doing everything for my father's sake.
She is my sister, but CEO Jin Hwa Young
can only run the department store.
She's not competent enough
to run the Distribution Group.
If I walked in her shoes,
I would have cashed out
the affiliations that don't bring in money.
Well, anyway.
This is the only way to keep
the department store together.
Give me the collateral, Mr. Oh.
I'll think about it if you give me
four times as much.
Are you saying you aren't
looking to sell those?
I see. You weren't after the money.
You wanted the managerial rights
of the department store, Mr. Oh
No, it's not you.
Is this Do Jun?
Onroad,
the top internet company of Korea
just announced a technical tie-up
with New Data Technology.
When the announcement was made,
New Data Technology's stock price
skyrocketed
and ended the day at 55 dollars.
The stock market says
if this level of increase continues,
they will become the first company
in the history of KOSDAQ
to reach 100 dollars within the month.
The price went over 40 dollars.
It's skyrocketing.
I'm starting to wonder.
Will she feel satisfied
after getting what she wanted?
Or
will she feel at a loss for losing
something she could have had?
I wonder which is more significant.
("New Data Technology,
Stock Prices Skyrocket!")
Do you know how much I lost
after selling this at 40 dollars?
In just a few hours,
(CEO Jin Hwa Young)
I lost 4.5 million dollars.
I lost 4.5 million dollars!
The rationality of the human mind
always tells us to focus
on the satisfaction we have.
But desire
always stand on the side of the things
we could have had.
New Data Technology
continues to hit a new high
for 55 days in a row.
Look at that. Drop.
We'll conduct an on-site audit
for the new four branches.
How does next week sound, Ms. Jin?
Drop.
Excuse me.
Ms. Jin?
- Ms. Jin?
- Ms. Jin?
Aunt, Mr. Oh told me
that you invested in New Data Technology.
Is he really an expert investor?
Do you know how much I lost
after I listened to that man's advice?
I see. What a relief. I was worried.
There are hosts of manipulators
behind New Data Technology.
- Manipulators?
- Yes.
I hear they'll take the flight up
to 300 dollars.
But who knows when
this defective aircraft
will take the plunge?
But I guess it's high risk, high return.
So it will go up further?
This isn't the time for you
to make such aggressive investment.
What do you mean?
Two uncles each came to see Mr. Oh.
I guess they were worried
about the collateral.
They wanted to buy
the department store's shares.
And?
Are you saying he handed it over?
That's impossible, Aunt.
We're family.
But Mr. Oh is different.
You know that, right?
He's willing to do anything
if you can pay the price.
Do not lay your hand
on the department store's shares.
I don't care who touches it,
but I will not forgive them.
Don't stand around like a creditor. Go.
That darned money? I'll pay it back.
(CEO Jin Hwa Young)
Good grief.
My gosh.
I knew it, Aunt.
You surely are different from us.
Gosh.
Tell Director Im to come in now.
When desire is defeated,
it turns into anger
and pulls the bowstring tightly.
What's the settlement cost
for next month
from the businesses
in the department store?
- 140 million dollars, ma'am.
- Make them into postdated checks.
- Sorry?
- I'm going to invest
those 140 million dollars
into New Data Technology.
CEO Jin, that's the department store's
I am Soonyang Department Store,
and Soonyang Department Store is me!
Invest
all 140 million dollars.
When the arrow leaves the bow,
it flies over to the target
without hesitation.
And that target is
always one's own self.
(Reborn Rich)
Ms. Jin, you have made enough.
You should stop investing in stocks
It'll go up to 300 dollars.
There will be a photoshoot.
The theme is a female prosecutor.
I'm Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong.
Who's calling?
You want me to investigate
CEO Jin Hwa Young's embezzlement?
So we're here today as a prosecutor
and an informant.
Why not?
Am I not allowed to?
Jin Do Jun, that jerk!
Pull yourself together, Jin Hwa Young!
How is Do Jun at fault?
Father.
I must hold a board meeting.
Today's agenda is the dismissal
of CEO Jin Hwa Young.
The prosecutor in charge
of Aunt Hwa Young's case is
Do Jun's friend from college.
