Love in Contract (2022) s01e10 Episode Script

1
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
ALL CHARACTERS, COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCALES, PRODUCTS, AND EVENTS
ARE USED IN A FICTITIOUS MANNER.
ALL SCENES WITH ANIMALS
WERE FILMED SAFELY UNDER EXPERT GUIDANCE.
Why are you the one getting mad at me?
If you weren't drunk, what was that?
It wasn't…
Forget it.
At least I'm not a coward like you.
I'm honest with my feelings.
I don't know about that.
Excuse me?
But you were never honest--
What is it that you want to say?
That I still have feelings for my ex-wife?
Are you saying you don't?
Think about it carefully.
Of course I was startled.
So startled that you drove me
to your own place.
I was there to tell you how I felt.
So how could I not be flustered
to see you with my ex-wife?
I was anxious and scared
that I'd ruined my chances.
And fine, I'm sorry
about not driving you home.
What did you say?
I said I'm sorry.
No, not that.
You were going to tell me how you felt?
Why else would I have gone there?
Then you should've said so already!
That way, my self-esteem
wouldn't have hit rock bottom--
Did that
tell you anything?
My goodness!
Hello?
Did you get home safely?
Why are you still up so late?
Well, you drove me home,
so I thought I should check to see
that you made it home safely.
Yes, I got home just fine.
If you're done checking, please go to bed.
What?
Oh.
Sure, I'll be hanging up then.
-Ms. Choi.
-Yes?
Well… I'm sorry.
About what?
Just now…
I only said that because I was worried.
You sounded like you were tired,
but you said you were staying up for me.
I've never been with a man
who's so straightforward.
I bet you're more tired than I am.
You should go to bed too.
All right.
Why don't you hang up first?
No, you hang up first.
No, please hang up first,
and I'll go to bed.
No. You hang up first.
No, you should…
But you have work tomorrow, Mr. Jung.
So do you, Ms. Choi.
You should go to bed now,
so you can be Mr. Kang's wife…
Yes, I should. Good night.
Let's meet after you finish work tomorrow.
Wednesday seems too far away.
Does he like me that much?
A dinner to discuss marriage?
Between Ms. Jamie and Kang Hae-jin?
INA and Kangjin, to be more exact.
Both groups are in crisis.
They can't afford pride.
Plus, the two have
already announced their marriage.
So what's the problem?
But when I met Ms. Jamie,
it seemed obvious
that she hated everything about us.
Are you sure she's on board with this?
She was only led astray
after she was abandoned.
I'm going to put everything
in its right place.
Well, I don't think that'll be as easy--
I've been too easy on you.
Sang-eun.
Sang-eun?
Hey, Sang-eun.
Sang-eun. Sang-eun!
Bad news. Sang-eun.
Something's up with Madam Yu.
Something's definitely up.
Come on. Hurry up!
You're up. Good on you.
An irregular sleep pattern
is not good for your skin.
What's all this?
Breakfast.
I prepared your favorite.
I have somewhere to be,
but please enjoy.
-What's up with her?
-It's odd, isn't it?
She used to make me wash her tomatoes.
Wow, unbelievable.
You're not going to
touch her food, are you?
I'll get it out of…
What would be the point?
I should squeeze
as much as I can out of her.
She was cooking all morning, you know.
Do you think she feels guilty?
Is she apologizing?
You're really clueless, aren't you?
That's right.
Was it you who cleaned my room yesterday?
And put away all my clothes
and my scarves?
No, I do the cleaning every Wednesday.
Is this a sandwich?
How do you even eat this?
What a fine day.
Good morning.
Hey, good morning.
Never seen him smile before.
Me neither.
Good morning.
Good morning, all.
Good morning…
everyone.
Did he just smile?
What are you talking about?
My wife was my handicap.
She absolutely tanked our score.
Come on, you hit four birdies.
You saw how many double pars she hit.
With all those pars,
I could have a par-ty.
Anyway, save the date
for the third Sunday.
-You better be there.
-Yes, sir!
The third Sunday sounds good.
I'll definitely be there.
I'm sorry, but who are you?
Judge Jung Ji-ho
specifically asked to be excluded
from all gatherings with spouses.
Please do include me from now on.
For all gatherings with spouses,
including those on Sundays.
You do look like him,
but you're definitely not him.
Fine. But maybe not for golf.
With golf, you want everyone
to be around the same level.
But let's be honest, you're a duffer.
We have a lot of single digits here.
You could just send your wife.
This is not okay.
I will not tolerate this kind of bullying.
Please excuse me.
You know, no one has ever scared me,
but these days,
he is starting to scare me.
A lot.
Are you telling me Jamie said so herself?
That she's seeing Kang Yu-jin?
Yes, sir.
We've also confirmed
she is indeed the woman in the photo.
But hasn't it been a while
since their youngest left home?
Well, he is indeed
in conflict with his father, but…
Every time I play golf
with the chairman of Kangjin,
he won't stop bragging about his youngest.
Apparently, he's the one
who takes after him the most.
He'd go on and on about
how he'd built his own business
with his bare hands.
Just you wait and see.
He'll be the real power
of Kangjin someday.
His brothers are only full of greed.
They're not nearly as capable as he is.
I'll have Ms. Jamie
return to the residence.
Is there really a need to?
Why not just get her a new place?
That day…
instead of trying to sell her off
as soon as she landed in Korea,
if you had sat down
for a nice meal with her,
things may not have gone
so terribly wrong.
I raised Ms. Jamie to perfection,
both on the inside and the outside.
But I told her
she was part of the INA family,
never that she was a tool hired by them.
If you want a nice daughter,
shouldn't you be good parents to her?
Does that include you as well, Madam Yu?
No.
What she needs is family.
She doesn't need a nanny anymore.
Have you tried contacting Kangjin?
Rumors are rampant that they're
marrying their son
with Sunghan's daughter.
Let me get in touch with them.
-Hey, you're here.
-Yes.
These are from your fans overseas.
Put them in my place.
Make sure you don't lose any.
I wonder if my fans know
that I get rejected by girls too.
You know what hurts even more?
That I got rejected after kissing her.
I'm known for my numerous
impeccable kissing scenes.
How could she…
Yes, she may be playing hard to get.
She might be embarrassed
about saying she wanted a kiss.
I mean, her pride is off the charts.
Is this where I make the move?
Is that what she's expecting?
Are you sure your arm is all right now?
Yeah.
I'm young, so I recovered in no time.
So where is that punk?
What punk?
Oh, you mean the new bodyguard?
Why are you so edgy?
You know I pick my films
not based on the script,
but on the director's physiognomy.
He's a good one. Be nice, okay?
I should really climb up the ladders.
I can't work with newbies
with zero experience forever.
If only I'd gotten that guy's number.
Just how good was that guy?
-You didn't get his number?
-No.
He disappeared while I was taking a call.
He's a friend of the bride,
so I'll ask around later.
He had a nice, baritone voice,
and his looks weren't bad either.
But most of all,
there was so much story in his eyes.
They just draw you in.
If I were to go into more detail…
Yes, eyes just like his.
What are you doing here?
Hello, Hae-jin.
Hey, good to see you.
This is the guy I was talking about.
-This is my manager.
-Wait…
Hey.
Don't stare at him like that.
He's the person I was talking about.
So he's that punk?
-"Punk"?
-Really?
I had him come in to say hello,
but you guys already met.
He said he saw you
at the wedding yesterday.
He fell for you completely.
So the punk you hired
solely based on looks is…
"Punk"?
Where's your loyalty?
I've worked for you for years.
I heard new talents
start out as managers nowadays.
Did you hire him for that reality show
for celebs and their managers?
You have a wild imagination.
For the time being,
shadow this guy and learn from him.
Okay.
He's the same age as you,
so try to get along.
I'm going home now.
I'll head to the set myself later.
-See you.
-Wait.
Is he qualified?
Did you even get his résumé?
Who knows what he's been up to?
What if he's a fraud or a thug?
I almost forgot.
Should I tell him?
Go ahead.
He says he's gay.
He wants to be open about it at work.
But he doesn't dip his pen
in the company ink.
-There you go.
-Thanks.
Hae-jin!
Hae-jin!
I'm Woo Gwang-nam.
I didn't catch your name.
My first impression of you
wasn't exactly great either.
But you probably don't remember.
You're being awfully familiar, Mr. Mentee.
Why am I your mentee?
You're a manager, and I'm a bodyguard.
Since we're the same age,
let's be friends.
I heard you hurt your arm.
Give me the key. I'll drive.
Trying to walk into my kitchen
and steal my knife too, huh?
Well, that hurt.
I'll call you!
Thank you so much for today.
Next time, I'll make sure to bring
some coffee and desserts.
-Like an actor in the making.
-See you next time.
Let's see here.
There we go.
Let's go.
I told you not to cross the line.
CHOI RAN-HUI, CEO
Whoever his mother is,
she gave birth to such a fine specimen.
Yes?
Who?
The business support team at INA Group?
I bet she feels guilty.
Hence the breakfast and the cleaning.
Gosh, my head.
What am I going to tell Mr. Kang?
Should I just be honest with him?
Confront it head-on?
Hello.
Hello.
Come in.
Hello, so we meet again.
Yes, hello.
My lawyer has something to say.
-Right
-Have a seat.
First of all,
I am already aware that you are
the son of Kangjin Group, Mr. Kang.
But since you want
to keep this confidential,
that will also be our top priority.
However, with most of the recent headlines
being tied to your wedding,
I think it would help me
to learn more about you, Ms. Choi.
I wanted your permission.
Would that be okay with you?
Well, no.
The reason why I was so hasty
to announce our marriage
was to silence the malicious rumors
and to save myself
from an arranged marriage.
I don't think there is a need
to go any deeper
because we don't plan to rush
our actual wedding.
There's also the privacy
of my girlfriend too.
The air around you two
feels a little awkward.
But then again,
wedding preparations mean many fights.
With so much to think about,
you both become sensitive.
How was it for you?
-When you did it.
-Me?
It was very tough for me.
But you're a good man, Mr. Kang.
I can tell that you love Ms. Choi
and put her before yourself.
Unlike someone I know,
who'd lock you inside his world
and constantly hurt you.
Treating you like a piece of a puzzle.
Would you take a look at the file?
I've never considered myself
to be young and naive,
but now I realize that I was.
I only found out later
that you'd quit being a lawyer
and bought the very house
that I always said I wanted to live in.
Were you waiting for…
Man, I'm hungry.
How about some bagels?
I know Jung-han bought some.
There they are.
Allow me to apologize once again.
Two days ago, when we kissed…
I never meant for that to happen.
In other words, it was an accident.
She just had to do it.
She said it again.
Pardon?
It's fine.
You saw this coming.
You know she means what she says.
I understand.
So do you want a bagel or not?
And I'm not quite sure why,
but I thought I should be frank with you.
I'm going to start dating Mr. Jung.
I wasn't ready for that.
Why do you keep talking to yourself…
What do you even…
Wait.
Do you love him?
Are you sure?
Well, if you put it like that…
I can't be certain just yet,
but if there's a next step,
I'd like to take it.
This won't affect our contract, will it?
Of course not. This is strictly business.
But as you know,
the expiration date is coming up.
Can you give me some time too?
Just like you did with Jung Ji-ho.
I signed on much later.
I thought you might change your mind.
Mr. Kang.
I want to live my life now.
As someone who has nothing to do with
INA Group or Kangjin Group.
But if we end up seeing each other
as you say…
The 13 years I spent running away
and everything that you've built
will be destroyed by them.
And you know what?
If that happens,
I don't think I can hold out anymore.
But of course,
that's not the biggest reason.
And…
Are you still not done hurting me?
I could use a bagel.
Help yourself.
What were you up to?
I was just doing the laundry.
You do the laundry yourself?
Yes, it's so easy these days.
Plus, I'm used to doing it
on the days you're not here.
Now that you mention it,
I've never been here on a Tuesday.
By the way,
there's something
that I added to my schedule
without consulting you first.
That's why
I even purchased
the clothes for it too. I'm sorry.
Is there a dress code?
Yes.
I've gotten a 100 on many tests,
but I refuse to be mocked
for hitting 100 or more.
I need training.
Doesn't that make this work, not a date?
No.
I was kicked out of the golf club
for being bad.
I can't just sit around.
I went under par that day.
We're a couple, aren't we?
It was a special gathering
we participated as a team.
It's symbolic.
I must do something. Let's start.
Okay.
Let me try that again.
See the ball?
Now give it a sideways gaze.
Then give it an elegant slap.
Slap it.
Was I gazing too hard?
Don't get too ambitious.
Next,
give it a loose yet elegant slap.
Much better.
Ms. Choi.
I reserved a table at a place
that serves good salmon.
If we leave now,
we can get there right on time.
I'll consider that dinner our first date.
Judge Jung.
And his lovely wife. Hello.
-Hey!
-Hello.
You're too good for him.
You're giving him lessons
so he can keep up.
Yes. Please excuse us.
Say, why don't you join us for dinner?
We're off to a nice place.
No, thank you.
We have to go and eat salmon--
You all know how cold
and how awkward Judge Jung can be.
But his wife is a darling.
It's thanks to her
that his reputation at the court
couldn't be better lately.
You'll come with us, won't you?
Yes, of course.
Come on, man.
Let's go.
Get in.
Here's to our seventeenth glass.
Help yourselves.
Because today,
I brought a very special card.
The Christmas card.
That was a joke.
Ms. Choi, have some of this.
And hang in there.
Please have some eel.
That's all eel in there.
They don't use any other fish.
This is good stuff.
All right. If you didn't know already,
Judge Jung's wife is quite a drinker.
A boilermaker needs a lot of airing
for it to go down smoothly.
A lot of airing.
Here, have a glass.
I really needed a drink.
Please don't force her.
Not this again.
We're trying to get pregnant.
I'll take her glass instead.
Hey, don't drink.
You get out of hand when you're drunk.
How much juice do you plan to drink?
Drink water instead.
But not too much. It could get you drunk.
And eat the tail, all right?
-Sir.
-Yes?
I see why you ought to have some eel
every now and then.
I can feel the heat inside me.
That shows you're still young.
I never tell my wife when I've had eel.
I go to bed quietly, wake up quietly,
and leave the house quietly.
That's a lot of effort.
Judge Jung.
Go on, dig in.
Listen, Jung.
If we hear good news in the near future,
just know it's all thanks to me.
So be good now.
Sir.
We should wash down our dinner now.
No better way to do it than with beer.
Of course, that's our routine.
We should go wash it down.
Sounds good.
You're coming too, right?
This is the only time we can let loose
and get things off our chest.
Friendships are built over beers.
-We don't just invite anyone, you know.
-Of course not.
No, thank you.
We'll be leaving now.
Why don't you give it a go?
No.
I say our court needs
to pay better attention to…
Isn't this the first time
they've invited you to join?
I'm not interested in
getting on their good side.
You should still go.
But it's our first…
Judge Jung never makes a ruling
without checking to see
how the children
feel about their parents' divorce.
Isn't that right, Judge Jung?
I say the court should make
counseling sessions
mandatory for the children.
In fact, I've been meaning to mention…
Hey,
it sounds like you gentlemen
might have a lot to talk about.
Then let me excuse myself here.
-Have a good evening.
-Goodness.
But I brought my special card.
So, where to?
Since Judge Jung's wife has left,
convenience store it is.
Thank you.
MR. JUNG JI-HO
You should focus on your drinks.
I already left.
-Already?
-Yes.
I left after saying what I had to say.
Wow.
I'm sorry. This turned into work again.
Oh, no.
What's important is that
we met on a Tuesday for the first time.
How about I make it up for you?
How?
When I see you tomorrow for work,
let's have a real date.
All right, then.
Did his voice always sound this nice?
I should've recorded that.
MR. CHOI
Hey! Open up!
Damn it.
I know you're in there!
Seriously!
Damn it, man.
I hit the doorbell like thirty times!
Turn that thing off!
And turn on the lights!
Why are you here?
Your mom was having a fit
because she couldn't get a hold of you.
Why won't you answer her calls?
Because I have my reasons.
Everyone's flipping out.
The girl you're seeing.
Is she really the daughter of INA Group?
So she is.
Did Sun-jin say that?
What are you talking about?
He tried to deny it.
INA Group reached out to us.
Apparently, their daughter directly said
that she was dating you.
After breaking my heart like that?
Is she kidding me?
What's really going on?
Go on, tell your uncle.
They use me.
They use me to get what they want.
That's the only time they need me.
I can't help you if you don't tell me!
This may not be her idea.
INA Group could be using her.
Their own daughter?
That's nonsense.
JAMIE
I want to live my life now.
As someone who has nothing to do with
INA Group or Kangjin Group.
I put together a detox meal.
Good for swellings.
I'll leave you to enjoy it.
She must be feeling really guilty.
People who are icy on the outside
are really softies.
When did she get new plates?
They're irritatingly cute.
Man, so this is what it feels like
to be treated like royalty.
Is it good?
You should eat too.
Help yourself.
Cut!
All right!
Director, let's do that again.
Exactly.
That's what I meant.
Let's do another take.
Let's do it again.
I should be in action movies.
I used to do taekwondo.
I've got the basic posture down.
See my kick?
-Unbelievable.
-Isn't he the best?
-Yes, he's so nice.
-You see…
The thing is…
She'd snap at me
at every chance she could get.
It's my first time being on set.
Me?
Please excuse me.
What? What is it?
I know you're new here,
but those employees from the agency
will eat you alive
if they find
the tiniest speck of dirt on you.
But they're such great people!
They'll make a fool out of you.
So stop smiling like an idiot,
whether it's at the stylist's,
at the salon, or on set!
Jeez, you're so twisted.
Who are you calling a twit?
I said "twisted," not…
Just take it easy, all right?
-Get your hand off me.
-Easy.
Hey, wait up.
I told you not to come in!
How many times have I told you
not to come in here?
It says right here, "Filming!"
Why is he so angry?
Who do you think you are?
Someone could've gotten hurt.
Now stay back. Stay back.
-Don't cross this line, okay?
-Okay.
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
Hae-jin.
Seems like INA and Kangjin
are speeding things up.
Their management support team
is already talking about
arranging a time for everyone to meet.
Jeez.
You scared me.
But isn't this a good thing?
You said you were serious about her.
In fact, I'm kind of relieved.
She comes from a good family.
Plus, you can be a good son for once.
But if we end up seeing each other
as you say…
The 13 years I spent running away
and everything that you've built
will be destroyed by them.
And you know what?
If that happens,
I don't think I can hold out anymore.
Have you ever seen this girl
my son is dating?
Yes, several times.
Did you know
she's the daughter of INA Group?
What, Hae-jin never told you?
No, not yet.
How do things look between the two?
If you have any updates,
I'd like to be the first to know.
What is it?
Am I asking too much?
It's just that
I usually don't take advance payments.
But I will call you
if there are any updates.
Why not save it for then?
You're a smart one.
Why don't you take a look around
our department store while here?
I'll let my secretary know.
No, it's fine.
I like going around alone.
Plus, I need groceries.
I'll see you another time.
All right.
Hey, sweetie.
Arrange that dinner
with Sunghan Group's daughter.
What?
I'll meet their youngest daughter.
I broke up with Jamie.
So don't drag her into this.
Draw the line with INA Group.
What are you talking about?
You hated the idea of meeting her.
Well, I'm fine with it now.
If you say one more word,
you can forget about Sunghan too.
-You know I'm serious, don't you?
-Hey!
Darn it!
They say your child is
your worst enemy from your previous life.
Don't say sorry.
I happened to have time today,
but you didn't.
Still, I made a promise
and made you shop for groceries alone.
But whatever you buy,
I'll cook up something delicious with it.
Well, this is no coincidence.
She's the daughter of a chaebol.
How about some gambas al ajillo?
I just spotted
the best shrimp in the universe.
Can you do mayonnaise shrimp?
Can you do both at the same time?
How sweet.
Okay, Mr. Jung.
Bye.
But why Sunghan Group's daughter?
Do you have
split personality or something?
You're driving me crazy.
Hey! Your makeup!
Hello, Ms. Jung.
Are you aware
that your fiancée is cheating on you
with your neighbor?
Did you have no idea?
It's not what you think.
What do you mean?
So you knew they were seeing each other?
It's a long story.
And none of your business.
Mr. Kang, I'm your lawyer.
If this gets leaked,
it can be detrimental
to your public image.
How could you announce a marriage
with such a woman?
We're bound by contract.
I hired her.
All those rumors,
my family pushing me to get married…
I had to escape all of that.
It's under mutual agreement,
so there should be no issues.
Just keep it confidential.
Then Ji-ho…
What about Mr. Jung?
She's been divorced 12 times.
Marriage is her profession.
Are you saying this woman,
who makes money out of marriage,
is using Ji-ho too?
You should be careful of what you say.
She's not using him.
Jung Ji-ho requested her service.
She wanted to retire,
but he and I begged her to take us.
Do you understand?
Ms. Choi, where are you?
I'm on my way to Mr. Jung's place.
Why do you ask?
Never mind.
Don't worry about it.
Uncle… I mean, Mr. Choi.
The car keys.
-My car keys?
-Hurry up.
Mr. Kang.
Don't go in now.
Why not?
Well…
There's something I need to tell you.
It won't take long.
Is it urgent? Because I really need to go.
I need to talk to you now.
-Right now?
-Yes.
All right. What is it?
You can't just show up unannounced.
Men who hire wives.
How interesting.
Kang Hae-jin hired her
to silence the rumors.
What were Jung Ji-ho's motives?
Did you want to hurt me?
My wife will be here soon. Get out.
You said some hurtful things
the other day.
I was hurt by you, Ji-ho.
-Get out.
-Did you keep her around,
waiting for this moment?
To hurt me?
I said get out.
I kind of like that.
It's good to know how much hate
you have toward me.
Damn it, what do I say now?
Mr. Kang. If you don't remember,
how about we…
It's really important.
Well, how should I say this?
-I'm so sorry. I really am.
-Oh my! Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me?
Go.
Like I told you,
my wife will be here soon.
Oh, and since you're
Kang Hae-jin's lawyer,
I trust you'll keep your mouth shut.
You're anything but unprofessional.
I have nothing
against my wife's profession,
so you
do your best at yours.
You're so cool about it.
I heard she's the daughter of INA Group.
You scorned me
for being so hung up on success,
but you're okay with someone
who was born into it?
You found the perfect revenge for me,
who was desperate to have something.
How did you put up with
a woman who's so rich
that she has such a despicable hobby?
It's because you don't really love her.
I know you, Ji-ho.
It looks like their families
are serious about marrying them,
so you can cut this nasty prank.
Call me.
I've changed.
Put me down, Mr. Kang.
-Oh, no.
-You crossed the line.
So what is it that you wanted to say?
You may find it hard
to understand now, but…
I'm sorry, Ms. Choi.
I don't know what's going on,
but I'll see you tomorrow.
Hey, Mr. Jung.
Oh, Ms. Choi.
What about the shrimp?
Right, the shrimp.
I forgot about them. I'm so sorry.
Mr. Jung.
Did someone other than me
visit this place today?
No, not at all.
Why do you ask?
It's nothing.
For some reason,
this place felt a little unfamiliar.
It's strange to hear you say
that you find this place unfamiliar.
You know, I've been thinking.
I realized that there's nothing
I know about you, personally.
There's really not much to it.
Besides, you've been to my place before.
Oh.
You said you have a roommate.
What is that person like?
My roommate?
Oh, you've actually met him.
He came to pick me up
when we ate out for the first time.
But he's a guy.
Yes, he is.
But as a roommate,
he's closer to a girl.
That's how I'd put it.
Yeah.
But why do you ask?
I heard she's the daughter of INA Group.
Unlike someone I know,
who'd lock you inside his world
and constantly hurt you.
Treating you like a piece of a puzzle.
Mr. Jung.
Even if no one else will,
I hope you will accept me for who I am.
I'll do the same for you.
Of course.
I'm…
definitely going to accept you
as you are, Ms. Choi.
Hey.
Since we have no shrimp,
shall we order something?
Sure, I love takeout.
I'll go see what's there.
It's obvious.
-What?
-Hubby number two.
He wants you to get rid of him.
If he'd said it directly,
he'd sound petty,
so he's asking about your personal life
and about your roommate.
It's pretty straightforward.
And I feel bad for him.
They live in the same building.
Asking for understanding
would be too much for anyone.
But it's work, isn't it?
-Right.
-And the contract is expiring soon.
Exactly!
Why drag it on when the end is near?
You already helped him enough,
haven't you?
You're putting
your stupid principles over love.
I'm off to work.
Okay, see you.
Hello, Ms. Choi.
Are you busy?
No, I can talk.
I'm on my way to see Mr. Kang right now.
Right, today's a Thursday.
Well, have a good day.
I'm going to terminate the contract.
I could talk it out with you
and try to convince you,
But right now,
I just want to make you happy.
And for some odd reason,
I'm perfectly fine with this.
So I want to focus on you
with all my heart.
Ms. Choi.
Yes?
Let's eat somewhere nice for real tonight.
Okay.
Can you check the cameras, please?
Let's move the furniture
to this side a little more.
Let's shuffle it to the left a little bit.
The camera crew
wants you to check their monitors too.
-Sure.
-Please check the props!
Production, can you check the props?
What are you doing?
Hae-jin.
Yeah?
I told you I was busy.
You didn't have to come to work.
But you finally visited me on set.
-Why don't you stay for lunch?
-Mr. Kang.
Fine, I get it.
Let me explain how the breakup works.
Even if we break up now,
buying as much time as we can
until the media catches on
is how this world works.
If you and I stop meeting up from now on,
naturally, as time passes,
people will start writing about
how things seem off between us,
and eventually,
rumors will say that we've broken up.
That's when we admit it.
That we'd broken up a long time ago.
If they write about us
having broken up just now…
things can get a little messy.
They'll chase me all day,
and they'll write a story
about every expression and action I make.
Your face won't be known to the public,
but I'm not sure
if I can pretend to be okay.
And don't worry about Kangjin.
I…
want you to be happy, Mr. Kang.
This kind of stings.
Hey.
Have a look at this.
Why would I look at your phone?
I'm serious. Look at this.
Whatever.
Yes?
What?
Now? Okay.
-This is bad.
-That's what I was trying to show you.
Hey.
KANG HAE-JIN'S FIANCÉE REVEALED!
KOREA IN UPROAR
What the hell?
Ms. Choi.
You might want to see this.
Don't be so shocked.
KANG HAE-JIN'S FIANCÉE REVEALED!
A MISTAKE OR ON PURPOSE?
KANG HAE-JIN'S FIANCÉE
IS FINALLY UNVEILED!
WHAT IS NEXT FOR KANG HAE-JIN?
-Look at this.
-No way.
"Fiancee Revealed!"
"A beautiful non-celebrity girlfriend…"
-This is Kang Hae-jin's fiancée.
-No way.
WHY DID KANG HAE-JIN
REVEAL HIS FIANCÉE TO THE PUBLIC?
Crap.
No way.
What on earth?
I should look for a nice salmon place.
I…
This child was recently orphaned
when she lost all her family.
I will oversee her myself.
I will take her abroad
and turn her into the perfect bride.
Mom.
I'm merely a consultant to raise you
as the perfect heiress.
It's up to you
to step out of your crudeness.
Wow, it's really Korea!
I'm thinking of working in the bio sector.
I want to help support the areas
that INA Group hasn't been doing so well.
But before that, I should meet my parents.
Do you think they'll like me?
Do you think I'll do a good job?
Has it been 13 years
since I took care of you, Ms. Jamie?
To think it was all for today.
I get that you have your own dreams,
and I respect that.
But before that,
there is one important test.
You're to meet with the Kangjin family.
And the heirs of Kangjin
I've told you about countless times.
Your main target is their eldest son.
You must capture his heart.
But this is my first time in Korea.
When will I meet my parents?
They'll be there, of course.
Is there…
a reason for you to meet them separately?
Please remember that "Jamie"
is INA Group's core project.
So please prove to me
that the time I invested in you
was not in vain.
They…
use me.
They use me to get what they want.
Because during my long years as Jamie,
that's the only lesson I learned.
Here comes the song of Kangjin.
You must be so proud.
At the age of eighteen…
You could leave her
in Silicon Valley with nothing,
and she'd make a name
for herself within a year.
Wouldn't you say
she makes the perfect bride?
She will support her husband's
business to perfection.
Dear.
Dear?
Jamie!
Do you realize just how much the marriage
you called off was even worth?
If I'd married into Kangjin Group
as per your plan,
would you have been set for life?
I'll help you to keep that car.
Take this.
I'm thinking of using
the skills you taught me
in a more efficient way.
Will you marry me?
I really need you.
No one has
ever wanted me genuinely.
