are not based on reality.)
Mr. Lee.
Yes, sir?
Was I wrong?
Pardon?
I thought cars
would become like electronics.
Was I wrong?
Why would you be wrong?
Then why
When I say cars
will be the future of Soonyang,
do people call it a delusion?
I'm convinced there's a chance,
and they call me arbitrary.
I'm so serious about it
that I can't give it up,
and they call me obstinate.
What did I do wrong
that the very people who applauded me
are using the same hands
to point at me in an accusatory manner?
I don't get it.
Why are my children at the forefront?
Do you know why, Hang Jae?
The answer to that.
May I explain it, Grandfather?
To be honest,
a Soonyang car isn't exactly desirable.
Performance, safety,
competitive price, design.
And the name value
which is all that put together.
The market is already
full to the brim with better options.
Apollo is a compact car,
but from a customer's perspective,
5,000 dollars is a lot of money.
To make someone open their wallet
to buy a Soonyang car,
we need something more appealing.
If I were you,
I'd sell that charm, not the car.
Will you delegate me all rights
and authority to Apollo?
I'll see to it that
no one says Soonyang Motors is a delusion,
that you're arbitrary,
or obstinate.
(Reborn Rich)
(Episode 13)
He delegated all rights?
Yes.
What does Do Jun know about cars?
He also allocated
the biggest marketing budget
for the release of a new car.
My goodness.
It's for the better, sir.
If Apollo flops,
Do Jun will have to shoulder the blame.
How do you guarantee
Apollo will flop?
Soonyang Motors' future depends
on Apollo, the new car.
(The birth of Apollo)
But this car
is pretty much predicted to fail.
You profit from selling compact cars
by selling many for cheap.
But Apollo
is made with expensive parts and materials.
It can't be sold at a cheap price,
and the domestic compact car market
is already saturated,
so we can't sell many either.
So our plan
is to not
sell the car.
The product you and I must sell
is this.
The FIFA World Cup?
What can we do with the World Cup?
Daeyoung Motors
is the World Cup's official sponsor.
What does he think he can do
by jumping in now?
Does he think we'll sell more
as a host country?
Our team won't even make it
through the group stage.
Will he give a few cars away? Say ten?
If and when our team scores
their first win
(100 cars)
We give out 100 cars.
If we reach the Round of 16,
it'll go up to 400.
Reach the quarter-finals, and it's 500.
And if we reach the semifinals,
which is a long-held dream
(1,000 cars)
It'll be 1,000.
- As if.
- No way.
The huge numbers
will get us noticed in the early stages.
The higher up our team goes,
the more interest people
will show in Apollo.
So the promotion is organized
with the assumption
our national soccer team
reaches the semifinals?
- That's right.
- What if we don't make it?
The semifinals? I say it's unlikely
we'll even survive the group.
We can't even reach the Round of 16.
This is preposterous.
It is.
And then the public
will equate the memories
of desperate cheering
and praying with our new car.
But if, and it's a huge if,
our team manages to reach the semis?
The public
will equate Apollo
with the overwhelming feel of victory.
We can't bring down
the car's factory price,
but we can reduce
the customers' burden of expenses.
I'd like to make
an unprecedented 48-month instalment plan.
Actually, a 60-month long-term plan.
And I'd like it to be done jointly
with Soonyang Card.
Soonyang Motors will improve
Apollo's price competitiveness,
and Soonyang Card can make more
on instalment interest and charges.
It's a win-win deal.
We had an internal discussion based
on your official notice,
and we decided
to reject Soonyang Motors' offer.
I have another appointment. Bye.
Sir. I'm really sorry.
May I ask why you're rejecting the offer?
Soonyang Card also entered
the market later on.
To gather more credit card members,
we concluded it would be better
to cooperate with
a better-known affiliate.
I apologize.
Wait.
Is that affiliate
Soonyang Electronics?
Bye.
If it's Electronics,
is Jin Young Ki behind it?
This is an all-out war.
Then we should go all-out too.
You bet.
Miracle should take over Soonyang Card.
You bet.
We take over what?
We need management rights
to a credit card company.
Apollo is a compact car
and Soonyang Motors' brand power
is minuscule.
If the public rejects it right away,
there's no coming back.
To increase sales in the early stages,
we need a card company
to provide a long-term plan.
Should we look for another partner?
The World Cup will be over
by the time we negotiate
the details and sign the papers.
Hello, Grandfather.
Grandfather.
I brought you some tea.
You should have it before it cools.
Don't go. Stay.
Stay until the song finishes.
I looked up the song you like
and played it for you on purpose.
Stay until the song ends.
Don't worry about Yoon Ki.
I'm
planning to leave Yoon Ki's son
all of Soonyang Group.
Yoon Ki
Yoon Ki's mom. You must have
resented me a great deal.
Hello, Grandfather.
Hello.
- Grandfather.
- Yes?
I have something to report.
Shall we go to your study?
Let's go. Give me this.
Okay. Call me once you've scheduled
his next appointment, Director Jung.
Bye.
I must've caused trouble. Did I?
Don't worry. You haven't.
Hyeon Min.
I'll bring the chairman his tea.
You can focus on the other stuff.
- Yes, Grandmother.
- Okay.
Hyeon Min.
Yes?
Did the chairman
say anything else to you?
No, he didn't.
He just listened to the music.
I see. You can go downstairs, then.
Grandfather, you had something to say
to me?
The event
you're planning for Apollo's release.
Yes.
Let's forget all about it.
Are you serious?
Why?
Do you think your grandfather is
out of his mind?
Shall I recite the times table?
No.
I'm back, sir.
- Mr. Lee.
- Yes.
I called Do Jun
so he'd arrive when you did.
Mr. Lee. What's going on?
Well
Soonyang Motors.
I'm going to sell it.
I heard there are some Indian
and Chinese companies showing interest.
When someone is interested,
I should sell it and get as most as I can.
If we begin negotiations now, he thinks
the media and shareholders
will have no reason to reject you
as CEO of the financial holding company.
He told me a few days ago
to find prospective buyers.
I just rushed back from a meeting.
Then the world will remember
Soonyang Motors
as Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's
terrible mistake.
Grandfather.
If this is about the public sentiment,
once Apollo is released
and the World Cup Semifinal Event ends,
the public sentiment will shift.
The time comes soon.
You said that cars are electronics.
The day will come
when the world will accept your foresight.
Don't you want to see it too?
Have you seen it?
You speak as confidently
as if you saw it happen.
The World Cup semifinals?
They barely won a match,
let alone reach the Round of 16,
and they'll reach the semifinals?
Do you want me to believe
something that sounds like
it came out of a dream?
- Mr. Lee.
- Yes?
Do you think this makes sense?
How about a wager, then?
If the Korean soccer team
doesn't reach the semifinals,
you can sell Soonyang Motors right away.
But if
our team reaches the semifinals,
then do as I say
and never sell Soonyang Motors.
Are you up for the wager?
There.
He's not the type to make silly jokes.
Do Jun
pities me.
Of all my children and grandchildren,
the only one who cares about me
is Do Jun.
Hang Jae. This won't do.
I should revise my written will.
Your written will?
The 2002 Korea-Japan FIFA World Cup.
I announce the games open.
(Apollo, Soonyang Motors)
(We congratulate Team Korea
on their first ever World Cup win!)
Make the call right now.
Have all the Soonyang Motor banners
and posters taken down.
Make sure every single one
is taken down right
There's a typo!
(First ever World Cup win!)
(Congratulations
on the first ever World Cup win!)
Our team's first match is against Poland,
and it happens this evening.
It shouldn't say "congratulations."
It should say "we wish"
or something like that.
I know.
- What?
- It's to make people
do a double take.
Oh, no, it's not.
It's to cheer on our team
so they really do win.
It wasn't a typo?
Are you conning the whole country?
Since when did you want to become
a scoundrel who lies to the nation?
Don't worry, Hyeong Jun. We'll win today.
We'll win? How?
How can we win with a coach like Five-Zero?
You can't call the coach that.
Should I call him "Mr. Hiddink"?
That guy Five-Zero
doesn't know our team at all.
Instead of Asia's greatest striker,
the eagle Choi Yong Soo,
how could he pick Ahn Jung Hwan?
Does he think good looks help you win?
He brought a load of people
we've never heard of.
Park Ji Sung?
Who on earth is Park Ji Sung?
Hyeong Jun, don't you dare
- It's Ji Sung Park.
- "Ji Sung Park?"
Is he from overseas?
- Why do I even bother?
- Unbelievable.
At this rate, you'll end up saying
he'll play in the Premier League.
(Korea's first World Cup win)
What did I say? I said we'd win!
I said this would be our first win!
I heard you say "Five-Zero."
And something about playing
with good looks.
I did too.
Good looks help you win soccer.
Face-reading is a science.
Look at Park Ji Sung.
It's all over his face.
Captain Korea!
Let's drink!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Go, Korea!
- Go, Korea!
It's the kick-off,
and the whistle was blown.
- That's it!
- Yes.
- Shoot!
- Shoot!
- Goal!
- Goal!
- Park Ji Sung!
- Park Ji Sung! He does it!
- We got there eventually.
- Park Ji Sung did it.
- The match is over.
- It is.
Our long-time dream came true!
("We Saw the Future of Asian Soccer")
(2002 World Cup Quarter-finals)
(Special Event for Apollo's June Release)
(The new Apollo!)
- Go, Korea!
- Go, Korea!
We can do it!
(Soonyang Motors)
- Go, Korea!
- Go, Korea!
Team Korea is entering the pitch.
Nice!
- Shoot!
- Shoot!
- It's an equalizer.
- Goal!
They've opened up.
Ahn Jung Hwan kicks the ball.
- The match is over.
- Goal!
The match is over.
- Ahn Jung Hwan!
- The match is over.
(Korea reaches the quarter-finals.)
- He did it! Ahn Jung Hwan.
- The match is over.
- He's here.
- That's him!
- Mr. Jin!
- How about an interview?
Did you predict this
and create the Soonyang Motors campaign?
Was it your idea to use the World Cup?
Soonyang Motors' Apollo
is gaining popularity.
Did you expect this?
Do you think we'll reach the semifinals?
Will you continue
with the predictions and events?
How do you think the next match will go?
Well
You can see my reply
in the next Soonyang Motors' ad.
Dreams come true.
Team Korea attempts the impossible.
We congratulate them
on the win in the quarter-finals.
As you run toward your dreams,
Apollo will run with you.
Apollo, Soonyang Motors.
Do Jun has lots of talents.
It won't last.
He used the World Cup fever
to carry the Apollo name.
It's not enough
to say he landed safely in the market.
What is the matter with you?
I apologize, sir.
What? Apollo will flop?
The compact car market is saturated?
If you have eyes, look,
and if you have ears, listen.
Use that stupid mouth of yours
and speak up.
That Apollo will be Soonyang Motors'
greatest failure!
(Apollo Sales Count)
(Guinness Book of Records)
(Most compact car sales in shortest time)
Everyone!
Apollo is now mentioned
in the Guinness Book of Records!
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Apollo is now the compact car
to sell the most in the shortest time,
and even if you buy one now,
you might not even get it next spring.
I owe all this to your hard work.
You all did great. Thank you.
If we beat Spain today,
it means we reach the semifinals.
Will the next Apollo ad
predict our team will reach the final?
- It should.
- Why not?
- No.
- Let's go all the way.
The Apollo ad
will end with the semifinals.
- Why?
- Too bad.
Are you saying you think
our team won't make it to the final?
There's no other reason for that.
The World Cup Event's purpose
was to improve brand recognition
and popularity.
We went way over our goal.
What a pity.
In other words,
I used up all the marketing funds
my grandfather gave me.
I see.
When my grandfather sees this,
I bet he'll say it was money well spent.
I'll go and show this off.
- Enjoy your feast.
- Okay!
Do Jun is quite the entrepreneur.
He brags way too much.
We're up against Spain.
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
How are we to beat
soccer powerhouse Spain
to reach the semifinals?
That borders on a miracle.
It does.
Hang Jae, you tell me.
Do you think our team stands a chance?
I agree with you, sir.
Do you?
You do too, don't you?
We won't reach the semifinals.
Even if you lose the wager,
I also wish that a miracle will visit
Soonyang Motors and our soccer team.
Since it's a special match,
why don't you watch it
in private with Do Jun?
I'd like to watch the game
with my family too.
Yes.
I agree with you.
Oh, dear.
My grandmother is so attentive.
She won't even let you bring him tea.
She won't let anyone else
bring him his medicine either.
What is that medicine anyway?
Don't you want to know?
Grandfather.
Grandmother said
it's time you take your medicine.
I'll get it for you.
Just tell me where it is.
It's over there.
Where it's always kept.
- Welcome home.
- Thanks.
Give me that.
I don't want to believe
my grandson married
someone who lays her hand
on an elder's item without permission.
Now.
You asked me
if Grandfather said anything to me.
Now I remember.
Yoon Ki's
mom.
He said he'll give Soonyang
to Yoon Ki's son.
You and I are in the same boat.
So I'll tell you.
Sim Gallery
has a lot of replicas.
If you ever need a painting,
you should tell me next time.
Okay.
Thank you.
Chairman Chairman Jin.
Chairman Jin.
Chairman Chairman Jin.
Oh, my.
Grandfather.
Grandfather.
- Grandfather.
- What's wrong?
Grandfather.
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
of Soonyang Group
passed away at the age of 76.
Chairman Jin
led Soonyang Group for 32 years.
With his spirit to challenge
and constant will to innovate,
he turned Soonyang
into a global brand
that is recognized worldwide.
Politics and financial world say
he is the man who led
Korea's shining economical development
and the big figure in contemporary history.
Meanwhile,
the family of the deceased said
in the message to the public
they'll respect the deceased's wish
for a harmonious family
and righteous management,
Soonyang Group will become
a company that returns the favour
to the nation.
As Chairman Jin Yang Cheol passed away,
the financial world is paying attention
to who will become
Soonyang Group's next chairman.
It must've been troublesome, CEO Jin.
Not at all. I enjoyed it.
I ended up missing
my grandfather's funeral.
His only granddaughter
is causing trouble to the end.
I'll take you to Jeongsimjae.
You should say hello to your mother first.
I guess I'm in Seoul now.
Listening to Jeongsimjae
gives me a headache.
Give it to me. I'll carry it.
The younger one should do it.
Ye Jun is here.
- Long time no see, Ye Jun.
- Hi, Auntie.
Oh, sweetie.
I'm sorry, Grandma. I'm too late.
I'm sure your grandfather would understand.
I heard the earthquake was so big
that the airport was closed
and all the flights were cancelled.
It's a natural disaster.
No human can stop it.
You should take her passport away.
What's the point
if she's the icon of noblesse oblige
that represents Soonyang?
What's the point if UN chose her
as the next female leader?
She's ruining her health
and making elders worry.
She's right, Ye Jun.
You should let your underlings
do overseas volunteer work
and take care of the charity.
The labour doesn't cost much.
The UV rays are terrible to your skin.
My goodness. You got freckles.
Even makeup couldn't cover it.
You and auntie haven't changed.
The rumour said Jeongsimjae
had a big change
because of Grandfather's will.
Did he have to backstab his children again
with his will?
He's just amazing.
You don't know either?
I only followed Chairman Jin's orders.
Chairman Jin said he'd change his will,
and I only followed the procedure.
Hang Jae.
A farmer
can't be a landowner
just because he's good at farming.
The son who inherits the land
becomes the landowner.
In the past ten years, you're the one
who planned
Soonyang's succession structure
next to my father.
And you're saying
you don't know why my father
changed his will?
You think that makes sense?
If you want to avoid the storm
under the tip of Soonyang's roof
for the rest of your life,
answer me.
Why did my father
change his will?
Chairman Jin said
it was his last choice for Soonyang.
I will begin now.
(5 days ago)
The will you're about to see today
was changed on May 30, 2002
as Chairman Jin ordered.
The edited version
has been notarized already.
Lawyer Park, shall we start?
Yes.
(Soonyang Medical Center)
This will is in effect
upon Chairman Jin's death.
For his eldest grandson,
CEO Jin Seong Jun
of Soonyang Venture Investment,
three percent
of Soonyang Insurance shares.
To his wife, CEO Mo Hyeon Min,
he left the CEO position
of Soonyang Cultural Foundation
which has 0.3 percent
of Soonyang Insurance shares.
To CEO Jin Ye Jun
of Soonyang Culture Exchange Foundation
who is currently absent,
he left two percent
of Soonyang Insurance shares.
And to Jin Hyeong Jun,
he inherited 82,645m² land
near Unjung-dong,
West Pangyo, Gyeonggi Province.
Lastly,
to his youngest grandson, Jin Do Jun,
he left nothing.
About Father
When he said he'd make Do Jun
the CEO of the holding company,
he planned to give Soonyang to Do Jun.
Then he would've given him
Soonyang Insurance shares too.
Don't you think?
I think
Father is
giving us a chance.
One last time.
Only if the will is everything there is.
What if he left inheritance
to Do Jun
without leaving it in his will?
The night the will was revealed,
Do Jun visited your grandfather.
The only person who saw him dead
was Do Jun.
You know all about Do Jun.
You should get a degree for that.
If you have something to say,
be straightforward.
Don't be sarcastic or twist my words.
I'm the only one on your side
in this world.
Are you sure
you're on my side?
We got married. How else can I prove it?
I'm thinking of living more
like your grandmother.
My grandmother?
You'll be a devoted wife?
Is that why you brought up Do Jun?
No one knows
what happened in the hospital that night.
The will was revealed
when your grandfather was alive.
Did you make objection?
Or file a lawsuit for your portion?
- I've never thought about it.
- Why not?
Because
it's your grandfather's inheritance?
Is it a family issue now?
- Mr. Oh.
- This is a business
between you, me and Rachael here.
Due to your grandfather's will,
we just lost 2.6 billion dollars.
Is there a hidden agreement
aside from the will?
- Mr. Oh!
- Then how else
do you expect me to understand?
He didn't leave anything
to his favourite grandson.
I don't know. I don't know why he did that!
Why didn't he?
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol No.
I can never guess what that mean old man
was thinking.
I've thought about it every day.
I thought about it
a million times over and over again.
But I have no idea.
Why did he say he'd give me Soonyang?
Was he lying?
If he wasn't, why did he change his will?
How are you supposed
to understand this situation?
That's what I want to ask.
What on earth
was I to Grandfather?
If possible,
the person who wants to chase him
to purgatory and get the answer
is me, not you.
Do Jun.
Do you think
I trust you?
Do you want to be in charge?
Soonyang Financial Group.
I plan to give it to you.
I hope
you get it.
We won the soccer game.
I told you we'd beat Spain
and make it to the semifinals.
I
won the bet.
The publishing company said
they need a reference
for Chairman Jin's biography.
So we decided to include his calligraphy.
Chairman Jin would say
Soonyang will be enough
for his trace in this world.
It wasn't my idea to publish the book.
You'll have to deal with all the nagging.
It'll be a meaningful gift
to those who respect him.
Oh, dear.
He was such a wonderful man outside,
but he couldn't be meaner to his children
to the end.
He should've given all
the holding company shares
to one of his children.
That way,
we can defend the management rights.
If they ever fight for shares
or management rights
Hyeon Min.
- Yes.
- Do you have
Chairman Jin's calligraphy ready yet?
His bold writing for his biography,
and slender writing
for his critical biography will be better.
I separated them into two. Well, then.
You must be worried.
I shouldn't stop there.
I should play my role as a mother.
I plan to
help my children, Mr. Lee.
Does that mean
Practice makes perfect.
Times I spent as a wife of Soonyang
taught me.
I'm not sure if we were alike
because we were married
or became alike after gossiping about him.
I never thought I'd act like your father.
But this day has come.
I gossiped about him so much
for lining up his children
with some money he had.
So what, then? Will you do the same now?
Go ahead and show us.
Mr. Lee told me that you'd be able to
safely assume control
of the holding company
if I were to help out.
The 17 percent
of the Soonyang Insurance shares.
I own them.
You own the shares?
How come none of us knew?
Mom, don't tell us
you have your own slush fund.
You've been collecting kickbacks?
You're just like Father.
Look at you blindsiding your own children,
just like Father.
That money
I've been putting it aside for myself
as a reward
for putting up with your father
for 50 years.
Then who is number one on your list?
First come, first served?
The one who can and will
take good care of the family
will get the money.
Don't be calculating
because it'll get you nowhere.
Stay out of trouble and wait patiently.
I'll trust
that I got my message across.
Whether that 17 percent goes to Young Ki
or comes to me,
it'll be hard for Do Jun
to make the company his.
Who do you think Mother will choose?
Young Ki or me?
What about me?
Am I not her child?
Hey, you are
Even if you get all of Mom's shares,
you won't have 30 percent.
Hey, you'd better stay out of this.
Just figure out how you can walk away
with a handsome tip.
Okay, fine.
Then I shall go figure out
which cards to sell.
Hey.
Unlike Grandfather,
Grandma always believed that
the eldest son should get everything.
Today, she went on about
taking good care of the family.
Isn't that something people normally say
to the eldest son?
Should I come to Jeongsimjae every day
starting tomorrow?
Jeong Rae is with Mother 24-7.
It makes me feel so anxious.
Of course, Mother is on your side.
She always trusted and complimented you
in front of Father.
That's
That's because I'm her ugly duckling.
Goodness.
I suppose Grandmother
really doesn't want the holding company
to end up in Do Jun's hands.
This family feud began
when Father broke
the rule of primogeniture
because of Do Jun.
Sorry?
All the Soonyang Insurance shares
that I own.
I'll hand them over to Do Jun.
In turn, I want that brat to return
the department store shares
that he took from me.
I'll ask Do Jun
and let you know what he says.
I guess you can afford to wait.
I thought you'd bite it right away.
Aren't you using Do Jun
so you can play a retired king at Soonyang?
Then you certainly don't have time to wait.
Father, have some coffee.
How many shares of the holding company
do you think you can gather
before the shareholders' meeting?
It's not going to be easy.
Do Jun.
The footage from the camera
in your grandfather's hospital room.
Let's go public with it.
A will written when someone
is having cognitive impairment
can be annulled.
I'll file a suit to claim the return
of the legal reserve of inheritance.
Then you'll be able to retrieve
the shares in the holding company.
- Father.
- At this rate,
you'll never beat
your uncles in this war.
Your aunt visited me.
She offered her shares
in Soonyang Insurance
in return for the stake
in the department store.
Your uncles will get the shares
your grandma owns under a borrowed name,
so your aunt said you'd have no choice
but to agree to this deal.
Shares Grandma owns under a borrowed name?
What do you mean?
From what I've heard,
she owns 17 percent of Soonyang Insurance.
We have no other option.
I could never dream of such a thing
as I was born out of wedlock,
but you're different.
You are the rightful heir
that your grandfather chose.
A fraudulent will must be corrected.
My father
Your grandfather worked hard all his life
to grow Soonyang.
Your uncles and aunt do not have
what it takes to run the company.
Why must we let them take it from us again?
We must do this to protect
your grandfather's honour.
Do Jun.
The footage.
Let's go public with it.
Hello, Mr. Lee. It's me, Do Jun.
About the footage from the hospital room.
Is it still at Soonyang Medical Center?
I see.
Then I can do what I want with it, right?
Please delete the footage.
Please go ahead
and delete all footage from the room.
Do Jun, did you not understand what I said?
You said we should go public
with such embarrassing footage
to protect Grandfather's honour.
Does that make sense to you?
Father.
I always thought you weren't cut out
to be part of the Jin family.
Turns out, I was wrong.
You will eventually
regret this choice.
Hey, don't touch that! My goodness.
- Hey.
- What is all this?
I say this all the time.
Be as thorough as possible.
- Move it.
- Hold on. Why are you
Stay out of it. You could be charged
with obstruction of justice.
- You can leave them here.
- Yes, sir.
They were all seized from Sim Gallery.
They probably made money
by selling forged artworks
and used two sets of books
and borrowed-name accounts
to create an illegal fund.
We must find out
where the money came from
and how the slush fund was used.
Please check everything thoroughly.
(Text Message)
(Prosecutors raided Sim Gallery
to conduct a search and seizure.)
(They are investigating how
the slush fund was created.)
(Young expat)
Getting the 17 percent
from your grandmother
will put your uncles at 30 percent,
which means they can safely protect
their management rights.
This is a fight we can't win.
It won't happen,
but even if Grandmother decides
to give us all her shares,
we'll only have 27.
We won't have 30 percent.
No. Then we can do this.
If you're appointed CEO
at the shareholders' meeting,
seven percent
of the public enterprises' shares
will come to us.
(Young expat)
That puts us at 34 percent.
It means we'll safely obtain
the management rights.
More so than Jin Young Ki
and Jin Dong Ki would.
If the prosecutors
compare the accounting records
on the hard drive
with the books that contain
the actual transaction records,
they will find out who is behind
the borrowed-name accounts
and the slush fund, ma'am.
The carrot or the stick,
I don't care what you have to do.
Stop them at once!
Stop the investigation!
Ma'am. Prosecutor Seo, are you all right?
Mr. Jin Do Jun sent me.
This is out of line.
Why didn't you tell me?
If I told you
Would you have believed me?
You would've thought
a grandson of Soonyang's chairman
was making empty threats
to force you
to stop investigating the case.
I heard the prosecution conducted
a search and seizure of Sim Gallery.
You're after their slush fund
in a borrowed-name account?
Min Yeong.
That investigation
Can't you just drop it?
You see, those people
aren't even afraid to hurt me
or my grandfather.
That's why prosecutors exist.
No matter how much money
or power they have,
there should be some things
that they can't do.
You can't always get your way
with everything.
I should teach them.
Why should you be the one
teaching them that lesson?
What if you end up
I mean, are you the only prosecutor
in the country?
No. There are many prosecutors
who are more righteous than I am.
So many of them
are more competent than I am.
However,
none of them would take this fight
to the end.
Min Yeong.
Do you know why I'm after
Sim Gallery's borrowed-name account
and slush fund?
I must take it to the end to find out
the person behind your accident
No.
Only then can we find out
who instigated the attempted murder.
I'm doing this because
I really don't want you to get hurt again.
That is why I cannot drop this case.
Grandmother,
you know Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong
at the Central District Office, right?
I heard she ordered
a search and seizure of Sim Gallery.
Were you worried?
That everyone would find out
about your slush fund you created
through the gallery?
Because of the Soonyang Insurance shares
you own in a borrowed name?
Why?
Do you want to claim your shares?
Is that why you're here?
Not a chance.
Even if I have to turn all my shares
into cash
and feed it to the fish in the Han River,
I will not give you anything.
Not even a single share.
I know that.
From what I know, Prosecutor Seo
isn't interested in your slush fund at all.
Then tell her to follow her interests.
But she's investigating
the attempted murder.
Someone staged the car accident
to kill me and Grandfather.
She's investigating that accident
at the moment.
You see,
if she asks me about that accident,
then you'll have a problem
because I have solid evidence.
So, Grandmother
Don't even try to hurt Prosecutor Seo.
For your own sake, that is.
The tea is cold.
Ma'am.
(Forged Artwork Sales Ledger)
This is Sim Gallery's forged artwork
sales ledger,
which we couldn't find at the gallery.
Sim Gallery sent us this?
Yes. They know they can't avoid punishment.
I'm guessing they're offering a plea deal.
They want this to be a mitigating factor.
All of a sudden?
This is it.
(Bird and flower painting)
(Bird and flower painting)
(Lee Pil Ok)
She told me.
- My goodness.
- I was like, "Why?"
Oh, please.
She did that.
Grandmother, someone's calling you.
Okay, thanks.
- Hey, what was that?
- Hello?
This is Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong
from Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office.
Finish the rest.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
You purchased a bird and flower painting
from Sim Gallery.
Yes. What about it?
We have evidence to believe
that the money from the transaction
was given to the suspects
in an attempted murder case.
We'd like to interview you as a witness.
I got a call from the Prosecutors' Office.
Tell me. What should I do?
So?
After all,
my shares are what you want?
Is it true that you gave
the shares to Do Jun?
I can't believe this.
Not Young Ki or me?
You handed them over to Do Jun?
Why, all of a sudden?
I knew it.
Do Jun declined my offer to swap shares.
- He got Mom's shares?
- Hey!
- How could you think that now?
- Whatever!
Mom.
Say something.
Your children are in utter shock right now.
Will you not even say anything?
Mother!
What do you mean?
I know.
The reason
Grandmother had no choice
but to hand over the shares to Do Jun.
You know, Grandmother
I'm sure she didn't want to hand them over
to Do Jun.
It was the only way to get
the situation sorted out.
So she had to hand over the shares.
Remember Grandfather's accident?
You know it wasn't an accident.
Someone ordered the hit on him.
- Okay, so?
- The person who ordered the hit
It was Grandmother.
Mother.
Is it true?
Are you going to ask me about Do Jun too?
I told you
that I'd give my shares
to a child of mine
who would take good care of the family.
Young Ki, you know
how I've been treating Yoon Ki
all his life.
Is that why you tried
to kill Do Jun and Father together?
For the sake of the family?
Who do you think it was for?
For whom did I do such a thing?
Was I supposed to
just stand by and let it happen?
What mother would just stand by
and watch
when someone else's child tries to steal
what rightfully belongs to her own child?
You, of all people,
must understand.
Young Ki. You, of all people,
should understand me.
Yes. Now, I understand
how you must've felt.
You probably can't forgive Father
for wanting Do Jun
to be his successor.
I feel the same way.
My son.
Soonyang should have
rightfully been Seong Jun's.
But you handed the company over
to Do Jun, Mother.
For that, I cannot forgive you.
It's time to right the wrong.
For the sake of my parents,
I believe it is
the right thing to do as their son.
Do you think we'd be able
to secure evidence
that someone indeed ordered
the hit on them?
As for evidence,
I heard my nephew was in possession of it.
My youngest nephew.
Jin Do Jun of Miracle.
Mr. Song.
We will summon
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's wife
to question her as a suspect
in the attempted murder case.
Please get ready.
You mean, Soonyang's Chairman Jin?
Yes, we received a tip
from a credible source.
We've also tracked down
some physical evidence to prove it.
Then I'll go ahead and summon her.
Okay.
(Jin Do Jun)
(Reborn Rich)
You'll become even more spiteful.
Because you'd want to keep what you have.
I know
he wouldn't hesitate to sell me
if he could buy Soonyang.
Would Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
have told me
to delete the security footage?
So after all,
we're the owners
of Soonyang Financial Holding Company.
Right, as long as one of us
doesn't betray the other.
If I want to go independent
as Soonyang Financial Group,
I need a cash cow
that will earn me money
until the separation is complete.
Soonyang Card.
It's time
we sell Soonyang Card.
You bought
Soonyang Group's chairman position.
You'll be the next chairman
and Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's successor.
You can't put a price on such a position.
It's Chairman Jin's legacy he left for you,
Do Jun.

(This drama is fiction

(incidents, groups, and nations
are not based on reality.)
Mr. Lee.
Yes, sir?
Was I wrong?
Pardon?
I thought cars
would become like electronics.
Was I wrong?
Why would you be wrong?
Then why
When I say cars
will be the future of Soonyang,
do people call it a delusion?
I'm convinced there's a chance,
and they call me arbitrary.
I'm so serious about it
that I can't give it up,
and they call me obstinate.
What did I do wrong
that the very people who applauded me
are using the same hands
to point at me in an accusatory manner?
I don't get it.
Why are my children at the forefront?
Do you know why, Hang Jae?
The answer to that.
May I explain it, Grandfather?
To be honest,
a Soonyang car isn't exactly desirable.
Performance, safety,
competitive price, design.
And the name value
which is all that put together.
The market is already
full to the brim with better options.
Apollo is a compact car,
but from a customer's perspective,
5,000 dollars is a lot of money.
To make someone open their wallet
to buy a Soonyang car,
we need something more appealing.
If I were you,
I'd sell that charm, not the car.
Will you delegate me all rights
and authority to Apollo?
I'll see to it that
no one says Soonyang Motors is a delusion,
that you're arbitrary,
or obstinate.
(Reborn Rich)
(Episode 13)
He delegated all rights?
Yes.
What does Do Jun know about cars?
He also allocated
the biggest marketing budget
for the release of a new car.
My goodness.
It's for the better, sir.
If Apollo flops,
Do Jun will have to shoulder the blame.
How do you guarantee
Apollo will flop?
Soonyang Motors' future depends
on Apollo, the new car.
(The birth of Apollo)
But this car
is pretty much predicted to fail.
You profit from selling compact cars
by selling many for cheap.
But Apollo
is made with expensive parts and materials.
It can't be sold at a cheap price,
and the domestic compact car market
is already saturated,
so we can't sell many either.
So our plan
is to not
sell the car.
The product you and I must sell
is this.
The FIFA World Cup?
What can we do with the World Cup?
Daeyoung Motors
is the World Cup's official sponsor.
What does he think he can do
by jumping in now?
Does he think we'll sell more
as a host country?
Our team won't even make it
through the group stage.
Will he give a few cars away? Say ten?
If and when our team scores
their first win
(100 cars)
We give out 100 cars.
If we reach the Round of 16,
it'll go up to 400.
Reach the quarter-finals, and it's 500.
And if we reach the semifinals,
which is a long-held dream
(1,000 cars)
It'll be 1,000.
- As if.
- No way.
The huge numbers
will get us noticed in the early stages.
The higher up our team goes,
the more interest people
will show in Apollo.
So the promotion is organized
with the assumption
our national soccer team
reaches the semifinals?
- That's right.
- What if we don't make it?
The semifinals? I say it's unlikely
we'll even survive the group.
We can't even reach the Round of 16.
This is preposterous.
It is.
And then the public
will equate the memories
of desperate cheering
and praying with our new car.
But if, and it's a huge if,
our team manages to reach the semis?
The public
will equate Apollo
with the overwhelming feel of victory.
We can't bring down
the car's factory price,
but we can reduce
the customers' burden of expenses.
I'd like to make
an unprecedented 48-month instalment plan.
Actually, a 60-month long-term plan.
And I'd like it to be done jointly
with Soonyang Card.
Soonyang Motors will improve
Apollo's price competitiveness,
and Soonyang Card can make more
on instalment interest and charges.
It's a win-win deal.
We had an internal discussion based
on your official notice,
and we decided
to reject Soonyang Motors' offer.
I have another appointment. Bye.
Sir. I'm really sorry.
May I ask why you're rejecting the offer?
Soonyang Card also entered
the market later on.
To gather more credit card members,
we concluded it would be better
to cooperate with
a better-known affiliate.
I apologize.
Wait.
Is that affiliate
Soonyang Electronics?
Bye.
If it's Electronics,
is Jin Young Ki behind it?
This is an all-out war.
Then we should go all-out too.
You bet.
Miracle should take over Soonyang Card.
You bet.
We take over what?
We need management rights
to a credit card company.
Apollo is a compact car
and Soonyang Motors' brand power
is minuscule.
If the public rejects it right away,
there's no coming back.
To increase sales in the early stages,
we need a card company
to provide a long-term plan.
Should we look for another partner?
The World Cup will be over
by the time we negotiate
the details and sign the papers.
Hello, Grandfather.
Grandfather.
I brought you some tea.
You should have it before it cools.
Don't go. Stay.
Stay until the song finishes.
I looked up the song you like
and played it for you on purpose.
Stay until the song ends.
Don't worry about Yoon Ki.
I'm
planning to leave Yoon Ki's son
all of Soonyang Group.
Yoon Ki
Yoon Ki's mom. You must have
resented me a great deal.
Hello, Grandfather.
Hello.
- Grandfather.
- Yes?
I have something to report.
Shall we go to your study?
Let's go. Give me this.
Okay. Call me once you've scheduled
his next appointment, Director Jung.
Bye.
I must've caused trouble. Did I?
Don't worry. You haven't.
Hyeon Min.
I'll bring the chairman his tea.
You can focus on the other stuff.
- Yes, Grandmother.
- Okay.
Hyeon Min.
Yes?
Did the chairman
say anything else to you?
No, he didn't.
He just listened to the music.
I see. You can go downstairs, then.
Grandfather, you had something to say
to me?
The event
you're planning for Apollo's release.
Yes.
Let's forget all about it.
Are you serious?
Why?
Do you think your grandfather is
out of his mind?
Shall I recite the times table?
No.
I'm back, sir.
- Mr. Lee.
- Yes.
I called Do Jun
so he'd arrive when you did.
Mr. Lee. What's going on?
Well
Soonyang Motors.
I'm going to sell it.
I heard there are some Indian
and Chinese companies showing interest.
When someone is interested,
I should sell it and get as most as I can.
If we begin negotiations now, he thinks
the media and shareholders
will have no reason to reject you
as CEO of the financial holding company.
He told me a few days ago
to find prospective buyers.
I just rushed back from a meeting.
Then the world will remember
Soonyang Motors
as Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's
terrible mistake.
Grandfather.
If this is about the public sentiment,
once Apollo is released
and the World Cup Semifinal Event ends,
the public sentiment will shift.
The time comes soon.
You said that cars are electronics.
The day will come
when the world will accept your foresight.
Don't you want to see it too?
Have you seen it?
You speak as confidently
as if you saw it happen.
The World Cup semifinals?
They barely won a match,
let alone reach the Round of 16,
and they'll reach the semifinals?
Do you want me to believe
something that sounds like
it came out of a dream?
- Mr. Lee.
- Yes?
Do you think this makes sense?
How about a wager, then?
If the Korean soccer team
doesn't reach the semifinals,
you can sell Soonyang Motors right away.
But if
our team reaches the semifinals,
then do as I say
and never sell Soonyang Motors.
Are you up for the wager?
There.
He's not the type to make silly jokes.
Do Jun
pities me.
Of all my children and grandchildren,
the only one who cares about me
is Do Jun.
Hang Jae. This won't do.
I should revise my written will.
Your written will?
The 2002 Korea-Japan FIFA World Cup.
I announce the games open.
(Apollo, Soonyang Motors)
(We congratulate Team Korea
on their first ever World Cup win!)
Make the call right now.
Have all the Soonyang Motor banners
and posters taken down.
Make sure every single one
is taken down right
There's a typo!
(First ever World Cup win!)
(Congratulations
on the first ever World Cup win!)
Our team's first match is against Poland,
and it happens this evening.
It shouldn't say "congratulations."
It should say "we wish"
or something like that.
I know.
- What?
- It's to make people
do a double take.
Oh, no, it's not.
It's to cheer on our team
so they really do win.
It wasn't a typo?
Are you conning the whole country?
Since when did you want to become
a scoundrel who lies to the nation?
Don't worry, Hyeong Jun. We'll win today.
We'll win? How?
How can we win with a coach like Five-Zero?
You can't call the coach that.
Should I call him "Mr. Hiddink"?
That guy Five-Zero
doesn't know our team at all.
Instead of Asia's greatest striker,
the eagle Choi Yong Soo,
how could he pick Ahn Jung Hwan?
Does he think good looks help you win?
He brought a load of people
we've never heard of.
Park Ji Sung?
Who on earth is Park Ji Sung?
Hyeong Jun, don't you dare
- It's Ji Sung Park.
- "Ji Sung Park?"
Is he from overseas?
- Why do I even bother?
- Unbelievable.
At this rate, you'll end up saying
he'll play in the Premier League.
(Korea's first World Cup win)
What did I say? I said we'd win!
I said this would be our first win!
I heard you say "Five-Zero."
And something about playing
with good looks.
I did too.
Good looks help you win soccer.
Face-reading is a science.
Look at Park Ji Sung.
It's all over his face.
Captain Korea!
Let's drink!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Go, Korea!
- Go, Korea!
It's the kick-off,
and the whistle was blown.
- That's it!
- Yes.
- Shoot!
- Shoot!
- Goal!
- Goal!
- Park Ji Sung!
- Park Ji Sung! He does it!
- We got there eventually.
- Park Ji Sung did it.
- The match is over.
- It is.
Our long-time dream came true!
("We Saw the Future of Asian Soccer")

- The match is over.

- Mr. Jin!
- How about an interview?
Did you predict this
and create the Soonyang Motors campaign?
Was it your idea to use the World Cup?
Soonyang Motors' Apollo
is gaining popularity.
Did you expect this?
Do you think we'll reach the semifinals?
Will you continue
with the predictions and events?
How do you think the next match will go?
Well
You can see my reply
in the next Soonyang Motors' ad.
Dreams come true.
Team Korea attempts the impossible.
We congratulate them
on the win in the quarter-finals.
As you run toward your dreams,
Apollo will run with you.
Apollo, Soonyang Motors.
Do Jun has lots of talents.
It won't last.
He used the World Cup fever
to carry the Apollo name.
It's not enough
to say he landed safely in the market.
What is the matter with you?
I apologize, sir.
What? Apollo will flop?
The compact car market is saturated?
If you have eyes, look,
and if you have ears, listen.
Use that stupid mouth of yours
and speak up.
That Apollo will be Soonyang Motors'
greatest failure!
(Apollo Sales Count)
(Guinness Book of Records)
(Most compact car sales in shortest time)
Everyone!
Apollo is now mentioned
in the Guinness Book of Records!
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Apollo is now the compact car
to sell the most in the shortest time,
and even if you buy one now,
you might not even get it next spring.
I owe all this to your hard work.
You all did great. Thank you.
If we beat Spain today,
it means we reach the semifinals.
Will the next Apollo ad
predict our team will reach the final?
- It should.
- Why not?
- No.
- Let's go all the way.
The Apollo ad
will end with the semifinals.
- Why?
- Too bad.
Are you saying you think
our team won't make it to the final?
There's no other reason for that.
The World Cup Event's purpose
was to improve brand recognition
and popularity.
We went way over our goal.
What a pity.
In other words,
I used up all the marketing funds
my grandfather gave me.
I see.
When my grandfather sees this,
I bet he'll say it was money well spent.
I'll go and show this off.
- Enjoy your feast.
- Okay!
Do Jun is quite the entrepreneur.
He brags way too much.
We're up against Spain.
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
How are we to beat
soccer powerhouse Spain
to reach the semifinals?
That borders on a miracle.
It does.
Hang Jae, you tell me.
Do you think our team stands a chance?
I agree with you, sir.
Do you?
You do too, don't you?
We won't reach the semifinals.
Even if you lose the wager,
I also wish that a miracle will visit
Soonyang Motors and our soccer team.
Since it's a special match,
why don't you watch it
in private with Do Jun?
I'd like to watch the game
with my family too.
Yes.
I agree with you.
Oh, dear.
My grandmother is so attentive.
She won't even let you bring him tea.
She won't let anyone else
bring him his medicine either.
What is that medicine anyway?
Don't you want to know?
Grandfather.
Grandmother said
it's time you take your medicine.
I'll get it for you.
Just tell me where it is.
It's over there.
Where it's always kept.
- Welcome home.
- Thanks.
Give me that.
I don't want to believe
my grandson married
someone who lays her hand
on an elder's item without permission.
Now.
You asked me
if Grandfather said anything to me.
Now I remember.
Yoon Ki's
mom.
He said he'll give Soonyang
to Yoon Ki's son.
You and I are in the same boat.
So I'll tell you.
Sim Gallery
has a lot of replicas.
If you ever need a painting,
you should tell me next time.
Okay.
Thank you.
Chairman Chairman Jin.
Chairman Jin.
Chairman Chairman Jin.
Oh, my.
Grandfather.
Grandfather.
- Grandfather.
- What's wrong?
Grandfather.
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
of Soonyang Group
passed away at the age of 76.
Chairman Jin
led Soonyang Group for 32 years.
With his spirit to challenge
and constant will to innovate,
he turned Soonyang
into a global brand
that is recognized worldwide.
Politics and financial world say
he is the man who led
Korea's shining economical development
and the big figure in contemporary history.
Meanwhile,
the family of the deceased said
in the message to the public
they'll respect the deceased's wish
for a harmonious family
and righteous management,
Soonyang Group will become
a company that returns the favour
to the nation.
As Chairman Jin Yang Cheol passed away,
the financial world is paying attention
to who will become
Soonyang Group's next chairman.
It must've been troublesome, CEO Jin.
Not at all. I enjoyed it.
I ended up missing
my grandfather's funeral.
His only granddaughter
is causing trouble to the end.
I'll take you to Jeongsimjae.
You should say hello to your mother first.
I guess I'm in Seoul now.
Listening to Jeongsimjae
gives me a headache.
Give it to me. I'll carry it.
The younger one should do it.
Ye Jun is here.
- Long time no see, Ye Jun.
- Hi, Auntie.
Oh, sweetie.
I'm sorry, Grandma. I'm too late.
I'm sure your grandfather would understand.
I heard the earthquake was so big
that the airport was closed
and all the flights were cancelled.
It's a natural disaster.
No human can stop it.
You should take her passport away.
What's the point
if she's the icon of noblesse oblige
that represents Soonyang?
What's the point if UN chose her
as the next female leader?
She's ruining her health
and making elders worry.
She's right, Ye Jun.
You should let your underlings
do overseas volunteer work
and take care of the charity.
The labour doesn't cost much.
The UV rays are terrible to your skin.
My goodness. You got freckles.
Even makeup couldn't cover it.
You and auntie haven't changed.
The rumour said Jeongsimjae
had a big change
because of Grandfather's will.
Did he have to backstab his children again
with his will?
He's just amazing.
You don't know either?
I only followed Chairman Jin's orders.
Chairman Jin said he'd change his will,
and I only followed the procedure.
Hang Jae.
A farmer
can't be a landowner
just because he's good at farming.
The son who inherits the land
becomes the landowner.
In the past ten years, you're the one
who planned
Soonyang's succession structure
next to my father.
And you're saying
you don't know why my father
changed his will?
You think that makes sense?
If you want to avoid the storm
under the tip of Soonyang's roof
for the rest of your life,
answer me.
Why did my father
change his will?
Chairman Jin said
it was his last choice for Soonyang.
I will begin now.
(5 days ago)
The will you're about to see today
was changed on May 30, 2002
as Chairman Jin ordered.
The edited version
has been notarized already.
Lawyer Park, shall we start?
Yes.
(Soonyang Medical Center)
This will is in effect
upon Chairman Jin's death.
For his eldest grandson,
CEO Jin Seong Jun
of Soonyang Venture Investment,
three percent
of Soonyang Insurance shares.
To his wife, CEO Mo Hyeon Min,
he left the CEO position
of Soonyang Cultural Foundation
which has 0.3 percent
of Soonyang Insurance shares.
To CEO Jin Ye Jun
of Soonyang Culture Exchange Foundation
who is currently absent,
he left two percent
of Soonyang Insurance shares.
And to Jin Hyeong Jun,
he inherited 82,645m² land
near Unjung-dong,
West Pangyo, Gyeonggi Province.
Lastly,
to his youngest grandson, Jin Do Jun,
he left nothing.
About Father
When he said he'd make Do Jun
the CEO of the holding company,
he planned to give Soonyang to Do Jun.
Then he would've given him
Soonyang Insurance shares too.
Don't you think?
I think
Father is
giving us a chance.
One last time.
Only if the will is everything there is.
What if he left inheritance
to Do Jun
without leaving it in his will?
The night the will was revealed,
Do Jun visited your grandfather.
The only person who saw him dead
was Do Jun.
You know all about Do Jun.
You should get a degree for that.
If you have something to say,
be straightforward.
Don't be sarcastic or twist my words.
I'm the only one on your side
in this world.
Are you sure
you're on my side?
We got married. How else can I prove it?
I'm thinking of living more
like your grandmother.
My grandmother?
You'll be a devoted wife?
Is that why you brought up Do Jun?
No one knows
what happened in the hospital that night.
The will was revealed
when your grandfather was alive.
Did you make objection?
Or file a lawsuit for your portion?
- I've never thought about it.
- Why not?
Because
it's your grandfather's inheritance?
Is it a family issue now?
- Mr. Oh.
- This is a business
between you, me and Rachael here.
Due to your grandfather's will,
we just lost 2.6 billion dollars.
Is there a hidden agreement
aside from the will?
- Mr. Oh!
- Then how else
do you expect me to understand?
He didn't leave anything
to his favourite grandson.
I don't know. I don't know why he did that!
Why didn't he?
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol No.
I can never guess what that mean old man
was thinking.
I've thought about it every day.
I thought about it
a million times over and over again.
But I have no idea.
Why did he say he'd give me Soonyang?
Was he lying?
If he wasn't, why did he change his will?
How are you supposed
to understand this situation?
That's what I want to ask.
What on earth
was I to Grandfather?
If possible,
the person who wants to chase him
to purgatory and get the answer
is me, not you.
Do Jun.
Do you think
I trust you?
Do you want to be in charge?
Soonyang Financial Group.
I plan to give it to you.
I hope
you get it.
We won the soccer game.
I told you we'd beat Spain
and make it to the semifinals.
I
won the bet.
The publishing company said
they need a reference
for Chairman Jin's biography.
So we decided to include his calligraphy.
Chairman Jin would say
Soonyang will be enough
for his trace in this world.
It wasn't my idea to publish the book.
You'll have to deal with all the nagging.
It'll be a meaningful gift
to those who respect him.
Oh, dear.
He was such a wonderful man outside,
but he couldn't be meaner to his children
to the end.
He should've given all
the holding company shares
to one of his children.
That way,
we can defend the management rights.
If they ever fight for shares
or management rights
Hyeon Min.
- Yes.
- Do you have
Chairman Jin's calligraphy ready yet?
His bold writing for his biography,
and slender writing
for his critical biography will be better.
I separated them into two. Well, then.
You must be worried.
I shouldn't stop there.
I should play my role as a mother.
I plan to
help my children, Mr. Lee.
Does that mean
Practice makes perfect.
Times I spent as a wife of Soonyang
taught me.
I'm not sure if we were alike
because we were married
or became alike after gossiping about him.
I never thought I'd act like your father.
But this day has come.
I gossiped about him so much
for lining up his children
with some money he had.
So what, then? Will you do the same now?
Go ahead and show us.
Mr. Lee told me that you'd be able to
safely assume control
of the holding company
if I were to help out.
The 17 percent
of the Soonyang Insurance shares.
I own them.
You own the shares?
How come none of us knew?
Mom, don't tell us
you have your own slush fund.
You've been collecting kickbacks?
You're just like Father.
Look at you blindsiding your own children,
just like Father.
That money
I've been putting it aside for myself
as a reward
for putting up with your father
for 50 years.
Then who is number one on your list?
First come, first served?
The one who can and will
take good care of the family
will get the money.
Don't be calculating
because it'll get you nowhere.
Stay out of trouble and wait patiently.
I'll trust
that I got my message across.
Whether that 17 percent goes to Young Ki
or comes to me,
it'll be hard for Do Jun
to make the company his.
Who do you think Mother will choose?
Young Ki or me?
What about me?
Am I not her child?
Hey, you are
Even if you get all of Mom's shares,
you won't have 30 percent.
Hey, you'd better stay out of this.
Just figure out how you can walk away
with a handsome tip.
Okay, fine.
Then I shall go figure out
which cards to sell.
Hey.
Unlike Grandfather,
Grandma always believed that
the eldest son should get everything.
Today, she went on about
taking good care of the family.
Isn't that something people normally say
to the eldest son?
Should I come to Jeongsimjae every day
starting tomorrow?
Jeong Rae is with Mother 24-7.
It makes me feel so anxious.
Of course, Mother is on your side.
She always trusted and complimented you
in front of Father.
That's
That's because I'm her ugly duckling.
Goodness.
I suppose Grandmother
really doesn't want the holding company
to end up in Do Jun's hands.
This family feud began
when Father broke
the rule of primogeniture
because of Do Jun.
Sorry?
All the Soonyang Insurance shares
that I own.
I'll hand them over to Do Jun.
In turn, I want that brat to return
the department store shares
that he took from me.
I'll ask Do Jun
and let you know what he says.
I guess you can afford to wait.
I thought you'd bite it right away.
Aren't you using Do Jun
so you can play a retired king at Soonyang?
Then you certainly don't have time to wait.
Father, have some coffee.
How many shares of the holding company
do you think you can gather
before the shareholders' meeting?
It's not going to be easy.
Do Jun.
The footage from the camera
in your grandfather's hospital room.
Let's go public with it.
A will written when someone
is having cognitive impairment
can be annulled.
I'll file a suit to claim the return
of the legal reserve of inheritance.
Then you'll be able to retrieve
the shares in the holding company.
- Father.
- At this rate,
you'll never beat
your uncles in this war.
Your aunt visited me.
She offered her shares
in Soonyang Insurance
in return for the stake
in the department store.
Your uncles will get the shares
your grandma owns under a borrowed name,
so your aunt said you'd have no choice
but to agree to this deal.
Shares Grandma owns under a borrowed name?
What do you mean?
From what I've heard,
she owns 17 percent of Soonyang Insurance.
We have no other option.
I could never dream of such a thing
as I was born out of wedlock,
but you're different.
You are the rightful heir
that your grandfather chose.
A fraudulent will must be corrected.
My father
Your grandfather worked hard all his life
to grow Soonyang.
Your uncles and aunt do not have
what it takes to run the company.
Why must we let them take it from us again?
We must do this to protect
your grandfather's honour.
Do Jun.
The footage.
Let's go public with it.
Hello, Mr. Lee. It's me, Do Jun.
About the footage from the hospital room.
Is it still at Soonyang Medical Center?
I see.
Then I can do what I want with it, right?
Please delete the footage.
Please go ahead
and delete all footage from the room.
Do Jun, did you not understand what I said?
You said we should go public
with such embarrassing footage
to protect Grandfather's honour.
Does that make sense to you?
Father.
I always thought you weren't cut out
to be part of the Jin family.
Turns out, I was wrong.
You will eventually
regret this choice.
Hey, don't touch that! My goodness.
- Hey.
- What is all this?
I say this all the time.
Be as thorough as possible.
- Move it.
- Hold on. Why are you
Stay out of it. You could be charged
with obstruction of justice.
- You can leave them here.
- Yes, sir.
They were all seized from Sim Gallery.
They probably made money
by selling forged artworks
and used two sets of books
and borrowed-name accounts
to create an illegal fund.
We must find out
where the money came from
and how the slush fund was used.
Please check everything thoroughly.
(Text Message)
(Prosecutors raided Sim Gallery
to conduct a search and seizure.)
(They are investigating how
the slush fund was created.)
(Young expat)
Getting the 17 percent
from your grandmother
will put your uncles at 30 percent,
which means they can safely protect
their management rights.
This is a fight we can't win.
It won't happen,
but even if Grandmother decides
to give us all her shares,
we'll only have 27.
We won't have 30 percent.
No. Then we can do this.
If you're appointed CEO
at the shareholders' meeting,
seven percent
of the public enterprises' shares
will come to us.
(Young expat)
That puts us at 34 percent.
It means we'll safely obtain
the management rights.
More so than Jin Young Ki
and Jin Dong Ki would.
If the prosecutors
compare the accounting records
on the hard drive
with the books that contain
the actual transaction records,
they will find out who is behind
the borrowed-name accounts
and the slush fund, ma'am.
The carrot or the stick,
I don't care what you have to do.
Stop them at once!
Stop the investigation!
Ma'am. Prosecutor Seo, are you all right?
Mr. Jin Do Jun sent me.
This is out of line.
Why didn't you tell me?
If I told you
Would you have believed me?
You would've thought
a grandson of Soonyang's chairman
was making empty threats
to force you
to stop investigating the case.
I heard the prosecution conducted
a search and seizure of Sim Gallery.
You're after their slush fund
in a borrowed-name account?
Min Yeong.
That investigation
Can't you just drop it?
You see, those people
aren't even afraid to hurt me
or my grandfather.
That's why prosecutors exist.
No matter how much money
or power they have,
there should be some things
that they can't do.
You can't always get your way
with everything.
I should teach them.
Why should you be the one
teaching them that lesson?
What if you end up
I mean, are you the only prosecutor
in the country?
No. There are many prosecutors
who are more righteous than I am.
So many of them
are more competent than I am.
However,
none of them would take this fight
to the end.
Min Yeong.
Do you know why I'm after
Sim Gallery's borrowed-name account
and slush fund?
I must take it to the end to find out
the person behind your accident
No.
Only then can we find out
who instigated the attempted murder.
I'm doing this because
I really don't want you to get hurt again.
That is why I cannot drop this case.
Grandmother,
you know Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong
at the Central District Office, right?
I heard she ordered
a search and seizure of Sim Gallery.
Were you worried?
That everyone would find out
about your slush fund you created
through the gallery?
Because of the Soonyang Insurance shares
you own in a borrowed name?
Why?
Do you want to claim your shares?
Is that why you're here?
Not a chance.
Even if I have to turn all my shares
into cash
and feed it to the fish in the Han River,
I will not give you anything.
Not even a single share.
I know that.
From what I know, Prosecutor Seo
isn't interested in your slush fund at all.
Then tell her to follow her interests.
But she's investigating
the attempted murder.
Someone staged the car accident
to kill me and Grandfather.
She's investigating that accident
at the moment.
You see,
if she asks me about that accident,
then you'll have a problem
because I have solid evidence.
So, Grandmother
Don't even try to hurt Prosecutor Seo.
For your own sake, that is.
The tea is cold.
Ma'am.
(Forged Artwork Sales Ledger)
This is Sim Gallery's forged artwork
sales ledger,
which we couldn't find at the gallery.
Sim Gallery sent us this?
Yes. They know they can't avoid punishment.
I'm guessing they're offering a plea deal.
They want this to be a mitigating factor.
All of a sudden?
This is it.
(Bird and flower painting)
(Bird and flower painting)
(Lee Pil Ok)
She told me.
- My goodness.
- I was like, "Why?"
Oh, please.
She did that.
Grandmother, someone's calling you.
Okay, thanks.
- Hey, what was that?
- Hello?
This is Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong
from Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office.
Finish the rest.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes, ma'am.
You purchased a bird and flower painting
from Sim Gallery.
Yes. What about it?
We have evidence to believe
that the money from the transaction
was given to the suspects
in an attempted murder case.
We'd like to interview you as a witness.
I got a call from the Prosecutors' Office.
Tell me. What should I do?
So?
After all,
my shares are what you want?
Is it true that you gave
the shares to Do Jun?
I can't believe this.
Not Young Ki or me?
You handed them over to Do Jun?
Why, all of a sudden?
I knew it.
Do Jun declined my offer to swap shares.
- He got Mom's shares?
- Hey!
- How could you think that now?
- Whatever!
Mom.
Say something.
Your children are in utter shock right now.
Will you not even say anything?
Mother!
What do you mean?
I know.
The reason
Grandmother had no choice
but to hand over the shares to Do Jun.
You know, Grandmother
I'm sure she didn't want to hand them over
to Do Jun.
It was the only way to get
the situation sorted out.
So she had to hand over the shares.
Remember Grandfather's accident?
You know it wasn't an accident.
Someone ordered the hit on him.
- Okay, so?
- The person who ordered the hit
It was Grandmother.
Mother.
Is it true?
Are you going to ask me about Do Jun too?
I told you
that I'd give my shares
to a child of mine
who would take good care of the family.
Young Ki, you know
how I've been treating Yoon Ki
all his life.
Is that why you tried
to kill Do Jun and Father together?
For the sake of the family?
Who do you think it was for?
For whom did I do such a thing?
Was I supposed to
just stand by and let it happen?
What mother would just stand by
and watch
when someone else's child tries to steal
what rightfully belongs to her own child?
You, of all people,
must understand.
Young Ki. You, of all people,
should understand me.
Yes. Now, I understand
how you must've felt.
You probably can't forgive Father
for wanting Do Jun
to be his successor.
I feel the same way.
My son.
Soonyang should have
rightfully been Seong Jun's.
But you handed the company over
to Do Jun, Mother.
For that, I cannot forgive you.
It's time to right the wrong.
For the sake of my parents,
I believe it is
the right thing to do as their son.
Do you think we'd be able
to secure evidence
that someone indeed ordered
the hit on them?
As for evidence,
I heard my nephew was in possession of it.
My youngest nephew.
Jin Do Jun of Miracle.
Mr. Song.
We will summon
Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's wife
to question her as a suspect
in the attempted murder case.
Please get ready.
You mean, Soonyang's Chairman Jin?
Yes, we received a tip
from a credible source.
We've also tracked down
some physical evidence to prove it.
Then I'll go ahead and summon her.
Okay.
(Jin Do Jun)
(Reborn Rich)
You'll become even more spiteful.
Because you'd want to keep what you have.
I know
he wouldn't hesitate to sell me
if he could buy Soonyang.
Would Chairman Jin Yang Cheol
have told me
to delete the security footage?
So after all,
we're the owners
of Soonyang Financial Holding Company.
Right, as long as one of us
doesn't betray the other.
If I want to go independent
as Soonyang Financial Group,
I need a cash cow
that will earn me money
until the separation is complete.
Soonyang Card.
It's time
we sell Soonyang Card.
You bought
Soonyang Group's chairman position.
You'll be the next chairman
and Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's successor.
You can't put a price on such a position.
It's Chairman Jin's legacy he left for you,
Do Jun.
