What you want...

isn't just Hando Steel?

In the end, what you want...

is Soonyang?

You want to become the owner of Soonyang?

(Episode )

It may be...

a bigger and bolder desire.

And that's why...

I need Hando Steel.

It's my present.

I prepared it to welcome you back to Korea.

You're one with worldly desire but not so deep pockets.

This over here is your actual gift.

The doughnut shop from Midway Avenue in New York?

When did a shop open up in Korea?

Soonyang FNC signed a licensing deal.

I asked my grandfather a favor.

It was brought in just for you, Mr. Oh.

Did you learn it from your grandfather?

The basic rule of investment.

The basic rule of investment?

In order to understand the flow of money,

there is something you must first be aware of.

The people who have control over it.

Understanding the market...

is the same as understanding the players within it.

You've displayed that...

by demonstrating how well you understand me.

Oh Se Hyeon, was it?

Yes, Mr. Vice-Chairman.

Look into him.

I want to get inside his head...

and know about who he meets.

(Soonyang Tire)

(Reborn Rich)

(Soonyang Group)

(Soonyang Automotive)

Goodness.

That's it.

(Daeyoung Tire)

My goodness.

Our cars went dashing as soon as the race began.

The development team wasn't lying.

The engine power...

of our latest model, Athene, surpasses that of bigger cars.

You must be proud, Father.

If it wins the race today,

that alone could be what you talk about...

at the launch this evening.

We're off to a great start.

Father, it's about Hando Steel.

Now that Power Shares is involved,

we might need to increase the cost of acquisition.

I'll leave you to handle it.

But know that the responsibility is yours.

Sure. I'll move forward, then.

It's not just...

the sports channels and magazines that are here.

Even economic journalists are present.

They agreed beforehand...

to cover the race and the launching event.

- Good.
- The media will eat this up.

It has drama, right?

Father, I wonder what tomorrow's headline will be.

"Soonyang Motors the Worst in Its Field..."

"Comes Back from Behind in Style on the Tracks!"

How about this, then? "The Black Sheep of the Family,"

"Soonyang Motors."

"The Speed Fanatics of Soonyang..."

"Once Again Waste Their Time and Money."

The money to keep these tracks open,

the racing team operating costs, and sponsoring tournaments.

Clinging onto a business for years that hasn't yielded a profit...

isn't like you at all.

Hwa Young.

- You...
- Sir.

It's chilly outside. Maybe you should head inside.

- Allow me to escort you.
- We should go.

- What's wrong with her?
- Well, it's...

Chang Je is your one and only son-in-law.

Even sons-in-law are considered sons,

and you have the power...

to give someone a seat at the National Assembly.

How can you not care at all?

Honey, that's enough.

Chang Je...

I mean, does the racing team mean more to you than your daughter?

You.

Hwa Young, you are...

my one and only daughter among my sons.

Father...

Let it continue to be that way.

Let yourself remain as my only daughter among my sons.

Don't get greedy by wanting more.

Are you saying...

that you have no intention...

of helping Chang Je become an assemblyman?

Never?

You are my daughter for sure.

I'm glad I won't have to say it twice.

Honey, don't be too upset.

Your father still adores you...

as his one and only daughter.

It's just me who he disapproves.

So what if I'm his only daughter?

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

Don't you know what he means by the word?

Of course I do.

"Gomyeong" in Korean is the garnish that tops off a fancy dish.

What would that imply, then?

My brothers are the entree.

Since I'm his daughter,

I'm the garnish that complements them.

That's what he meant.

Gosh, I had no idea.

I wonder if he's aware of how clever you are.

That's what I'll do.

I should let him know.

That his daughter...

isn't the garnish but the entree.

Honey, please.

Goodness me.

(Soonyang Tire)

It just finished its th lap.

It must complete three more for the race to be done.

Isn't now the time for that saying?

"It's not over..."

"until it's over."

Sir, Chairman Ju Yeong Il of Daeyoung Group is here.

Hey, there, Chairman Jin.

I see you came down here early.

Chairman Ju Yeong Il of Daeyoung Group.

During the Korean w*r,

he defected from North Korea completely broke...

and found the group that is now number one...

in financial circles.

The two driving forces...

behind the development of the Korean economy...

who rival each other in every way.

Chairman Jin Yang Cheol and Chairman Ju Yeong Il.

The two historic legends...

are right before my very eyes.

Goodness, I couldn't be more ashamed.

My boys should've known better...

than to drive at full speed while in your backyard.

They sped up as if nothing else mattered.

Youngsters these days...

are just as ill-mannered as their boss.

- I apologize for that.
- Nonsense.

From what I can tell by the look on your face,

my boys have been gracious hosts today.

I heard the news.

You're going to take over Hando Steel?

You just can't give up on Soonyang Motors.

After acquiring Hando Steel,

you hope to grow your business.

All so that you could bring me and my group down.

Chairman Ju.

I am not a common thug.

I'm a businessman.

And businessmen should make profits.

Judging by the money you're bleeding,

one could safely call this an old man's hobby.

Chairman Ju.

Not all good news surround you either.

Daeyoung has a high cash liquidity risk...

and can't even dream about acquiring Hando Steel.

Is that true?

Those racing cars.

They don't have reverse gear.

Once you get behind the wheel, you can't go in reverse.

And that's that.

So,

you're adamant about challenging us in this field.

Here.

My youngest grandson...

who enrolled into SNU's law school at the top of his class said this.

"It's not over..."

"until it's over."

That's when you say it, isn't it?

Father.

What a burly young man he is.

I almost mistook him for your bodyguard. We should sit.

It could be because of the frame or the engine overheating,

but the car is leaking gas.

It seems as though they must retire.

- Retire?
- Yes.

Darn it.

(Soonyang Tire)

(Soonyang Heavy Machinery)

Reduce your speed, and get back to the pit.

Make a pit stop this instant!

- Right now!
- Retire?

Withdrawing midway? Are you out of your mind?

Aren't you aware of who's watching the race?

But sir, it could lead to...

Keep racing. You'll cross the finish line.

Withdraw from the race, and the team will be dismantled.

You won't receive any financial support, so be it!

(Soonyang Heavy Machinery)

(Soonyang Tire)

(Daeyoung Motors)

Here's a piece of advice you should consider.

Even with ample time,

your cars will never be better than ours.

Do you know why?

Because at Daeyoung,

there are five of me.

But no matter how closely I look,

at Soonyang,

there is only one of you.

Don't you agree?

That's something to consider.

- We're moving out.
- Sure, Father.

That darn geezer.

Father.

Please don't worry.

I resolved the matter.

You resolved the matter?

That's right. The reporters won't put the photos in the paper,

and driving error will be reported...

as the cause.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

I'll throw a few bones their way...

and hand out money to the reporters...

You imbecile!

You're pathetic.

Mr. Chairman!

- Mr. Chairman!
- Father.

Father!

Father, Young Ki was only doing damage control...

to save your face.

That...

That being his best is the issue I have with him.

And to think that he'll take over the company?

Stay back.

It seems as though...

he'll be heading to where...

the Athene launching event will be held.

- Make sure those are set.
- Of course.

What do you mean the chairman isn't here?

Mr. Yang!

Weren't you scheduled to escort the chairman here?

Well, while outraged, he told me...

to go without him.

So?

You left the old man at the deserted tracks all by himself?

Would you rather I fire you?

I'm terribly sorry, sir.

Unbelievable.

- Get going, then.
- Yes, sir.

Why that little...

The team at the tracks just called.

They looked everywhere,

but the chairman is nowhere to be seen.

Where did he go then when the event is about to begin?

He must be gravely upset...

over what happened earlier.

The launching event...

will commence without him.

That won't be wise.

Athene is Grandfather's masterpiece...

that will affect the future of Soonyang Motors.

Wouldn't the guests, especially the reporters,

find it odd that he's not present at the event?

Put together a press release.

Write that due to personal reasons...

Giving a vague excuse...

will only fuel the imagination of the reporters, Uncle.

They might jump to conclusions that the car breaking down...

was due to a defect...

and that...

it sparked a strife between father and son.

So?

What exactly are you trying to say?

We'll have to bring Grandpa here.

How, though? We don't even know where he is.

Don't tell me that you know.

I do.

I know where Chairman Jin currently is.

Chairman Jin was a man who never knew of failure,

but Soonyang Motors was a bitter story.

To decompress, he'd go there to remember...

his original mindset.

He never told anyone until he wrote it in his book.

Gosh, I'm exhausted. Let's get going.

- How about pork braised ribs?
- Pork braised ribs?

- Sounds good.
- Have a good day.

- Have a good one.
- Take care.

- Let's go for a drink.
- What a day.

("My Era, My Life, My Soonyang")

"My Era, My Soonyang."

(Soonyang Motors)

Jin Yang Cheol's autobiography...

was published in the year ...

while we were all excited about...

what was to come in the new millennium.

And currently, in the year ,

I am the only person in this whole world...

who knows where he goes to decompress.

Chairman Jin is at the place...

that only I know about.

He's not here.

(Soonyang Transportation)

It's Chairman Jin's delivery truck.

He mentioned it in his autobiography.

According to the book, this is where he should be.

But he was nowhere to be seen.

Hello?

Yes, Mr. Lee.

I'm sorry, Grandpa...

Why don't I call you back? Sure.

I'm here to escort you back, Grandpa.

I can't believe it.

This...

Is this so hard to make properly?

That's right.

How did you know?

Sorry?

Not even Mr. Yang nor Mr. Lee knows about this place.

How did you know to look for me here?

I couldn't tell him that I got it from his autobiography.

I also couldn't tell him...

that never did I imagine he'd be with a high-end luxury car...

rather than his old delivery truck.

Why? Did you think that since I love high-end cars,

I'd be having a moment...

with those I had collected?

Darn imbeciles.

Do Jun, is that what you also think?

That my not giving up on Soonyang Motors...

is because this old man needs a luxurious hobby?

Is that what you think?

Acquiring Hando Steel...

in the hopes of making Soonyang Motors better.

Do you also believe that it is a waste of money?

Run along, then.

I have sons who will soon be over .

If they can't even manage...

a launching event without me, then...

Well, my life was for nothing.

I do not see it as a luxurious hobby.

I believe Soonyang Motors is the engine.

It provided the power and energy you needed...

to make it this far.

The engine?

The rice mill in Incheon.

Soonyang Motors began...

with you purchasing two trucks to deliver rice.

With you providing mobility,

the rice mill became a grain market,

and you were making deliveries with a dozen trucks.

Soonyang Transportation was born...

which led to you showing interest...

in petrol, chemicals, and machinery.

With a delivery system in place,

you were able to expand your business...

to the distribution of consumer goods.

And that is how Soonyang Group was built.

Soonyang Transportation...

was the engine that kept Soonyang Group running.

Until you were forced to forfeit the rights over...

to the m*llitary regime after the May coup.

The experience you had back then must be why you're against...

Uncle Chang Je running for office.

Politics should be kept close, but not too close.

Well...

That's why...

I thought you'd come here to see that old delivery truck.

Why?

For memories' sake?

That's what men nearing death do.

You cheeky fool.

Was that your way of b*ating around the bush...

to say I'm old and dying?

sh**t.

Grandpa, I meant...

I'm late. Shouldn't I give a speech about the new car?

- Pardon?
- The engine? I like that.

From now on, if anyone asks,

can I say what you said?

Okay.

Mr. Lee.

I'm returning with the chairman now.

That's right.

Soonyang is a late starter when it comes to automobiles.

A sturdy heavy machinery company does well with automobiles too.

I admit that as well.

But about me, Jin Yang Cheol,

there's one thing those who lecture me...

that I should only do what I'm good at don't know.

Automobiles...

are no longer heavy machinery.

It's electronics.

Electronics and semiconductors are what Soonyang does best!

Soonyang Motors...

is Soonyang's...

engine!

(Athene, Soonyang Motors)

It doesn't look good, Do Jun.

Hello.

The big picture your grandfather has for Soonyang Motors...

really needs Hando Steel.

How are we to b*at Power Shares that has a sack of dollars?

If we lose Hando Steel to Power Shares,

your grandfather will be furious.

Don't you think?

Wouldn't it be fortunate?

What?

You know, Daeyoung.

I thought they'd given up on Hando because of their poor finances.

You saw it today.

Grandpa with Chairman Ju Yeong Il.

Hando Steel.

Wouldn't it be better to lose it to Power Shares than to Daeyoung?

Sir, a report on -'s movements.

Something unexpected came up in the afternoon and...

I'll call you right back. Bye.

("Will Foreign Investors Take Hando Steel?")

(CEO Jin Dong Ki)

Daeyoung, Korea's largest company...

formally expressed its intention to the creditors...

to take over Hando Steel.

There will be a fierce three-way bidding w*r...

between Soonyang and Power Shares who have already made a bid.

Daeyoung Group offered billion won,

which is billion more than Power Shares' offer.

This makes Daeyoung the likely company to take over...

Are you watching the news?

Yes.

As I thought, Daeyoung joined the bidding w*r.

Where did Daeyoung suddenly get so much cash?

Didn't you say just a few days ago they had cash flow problems?

They must be betting all they have on taking over Hando.

They got the cash through a consortium.

A consortium?

LNK Consortium. It just entered Korea,

so they can't confirm who is actually funding Daeyoung.

This is Daeyoung we're talking about!

If we ever let Daeyoung take Hando Steel...

Find out.

Consortium or not, who's funding Daeyoung.

And why they chose...

this timing to invest.

Yes, sir.

Aren't you letting your emotions take a bit too much control?

Won't you regret this later on?

Darling. I told you already.

I'll show Father who I am.

Do you think anything...

can b*at buying Hando Steel?

Nothing stood out about the consortium...

that's working with Daeyoung to buy Hando Steel.

But...

Mr. Vice-Chairman.

Soonyang Department Store...

recently liquidated some of its shares and properties.

Soonyang Department Store has such a healthy cash flow,

industry experts found it unusual.

- Soonyang Department Store?
- Yes.

Call them.

Say I'd like to meet CEO Jin Hwa Young.

Yes, sir.

Sir. Power Shares contacted Hando's creditors' bank...

and increased their bid to billion won.

Then...

how much must we bid in order to win?

It'll have to be at least billion.

The maximum amount we can put together is billion, sir.

Power Shares increased their bid.

Soonyang's chances look even worse.

We can't lose Hando to Power Shares.

Call this guy.

Tell him to report to the chairman.

These photos alone aren't enough...

to say Do Jun is connected to Power Shares' Oh Se Hyeon.

Power Shares?

Where is the company based?

New York, sir.

Where did Do Jun travel with his father recently?

New York, sir.

When two coincidences overlap,

is that still a coincidence?

A scholarship?

It's a special scholarship from the law school alumni association.

This year, you're the recipient.

Me? Why?

They say it's from the alumni association,

but it's actually from graduates who work at law firms.

Your father works at Seoul District Prosecutors' Office's Special Unit.

Isn't it obvious why?

Sign here. This is the receipt.

Hi, Do Jun. Are you done photocopying?

- Yes, I'll return it now.
- Okay.

Thanks. Goodbye.

Bye. See you.

Grandpa.

I have four sons who failed to get in,

but I got to see the inside of Korea's best university...

thanks to my grandson.

Do you go on blind dates or things like that to meet girls?

Gosh, no.

I can barely keep up with my lectures.

Okay. Don't fall too hard for anyone.

I'm worried...

you'll be like your father and end up being useless.

Are you still angry with my father?

Do Jun.

Do you know how I got to where I am now?

I never forgave those...

who went against me.

Even if that person shares my blood...

and is a sibling...

or an offspring.

By the way, I got a call.

You withdrew all billion won.

In US dollars.

What did you spend it on?

Tell me.

In New York,

with my father,

I invested in a movie.

I thought I had a smart grandson.

I don't.

Your parents.

They're blessed with a good boy.

Flowers for Suite .

Yes?

What are you doing here, Min Yeong?

These flowers are for you, sir.

Where shall I put them?

I'm glad we met. I have something to say.

I refused the alumni scholarship.

I thought you of all people...

should be told.

I don't have exceptionally good grades,

and I'm not struggling.

Accepting a scholarship just because my dad is in the Special Unit...

is a privilege you think so terribly of.

So what? Are you saying I should admire you for working...

instead of accepting a scholarship?

No.

Don't give me another presumptuous advice.

While almost everyone else works,

you sit in a crazy expensive suite...

to host Rachael's birthday party.

A rich heir who does that...

has no right.

Young expat.

Do we have to increase the bid?

Oh...

I'm working part-time, like you.

- It's from Rachael?
- Yes.

A flower basket on her boss' birthday?

What do you think?

It's a lack of imagination.

Almost as bad as assuming flowers are a man's gift to a woman.

Who was that?

Happy birthday, sir.

This is a coupon for a free meal at our hotel.

(Restaurant Invitation)

Do you know her?

I have for a long time.

I'm against it. We can't go any higher.

Increasing the bid from here is no longer an investment.

What is it, then?

It's a gamble, a donation, madness.

Whatever you want to call it, it's something I'd never do.

I take full responsibility. It's my money.

This is my career.

I can stake my career on it.

The company will flop, and if you invest...

more than billion, you'll never get your money back.

What should we do, then? I must buy this company!

If you're going to insist on such a risky investment,

why did you fly me over from New York? Why?

Because I can't do this myself.

You needed me to shield you so the market...

doesn't figure out you're Jin Yang Cheol's grandson?

Do you know who the most dangerous investors are?

People born into money...

who never experienced failure once,

and therefore can never even imagine that they could be wrong.

People like you, young expat.

You're people I can never accept as a partner.

Please leave this room.

Is the owner...

of the chessboard...

Do Jun?

Mr. Oh?

Soonyang's Chairman Jin Yang Cheol wishes to see you.

This number includes the loan on the real estate.

Power Shares' Oh Se Hyeon is here.

It was an unplanned visit, and the secretaries had no idea.

Could this be a sign the chairman...

will get involved in the Hando Steel bid himself?

I guess he was displeased with our approach.

So...

I will ask you point blank.

The financier who provided the funds for you to invest with.

Is it my grandson Do Jun?

If it were about that,

you could've asked him yourself.

Aren't you the one person who could tell me...

about him most honestly?

Because I'm a friend-turned-enemy?

You're scary.

My grandfather always took my side, no matter what.

Mr. Oh.

You're right.

Power Shares Korea is run with Do Jun's money.

However, the company he invested in through Power Shares...

isn't Hando Steel.

It's a small website where you can buy...

and sell books.

I don't even remember what it was called.

Codabra?

Books?

Yes, he believes that online distribution channels...

will replace all the offline distribution channels one day.

He said Codabra's company value would reach trillions of won...

when that day came.

He said it would act as...

Right, as the engine of every industry.

It's absurd, isn't it?

That's why we decided to go separate ways.

As you know,

boys need their wild dreams and fantasies...

to grow into men.

But to investors, it's like poison.

Then...

What about Power Shares' decision to invest...

in Hando Steel?

Even those on Wall Street...

are immensely interested in the Northeast Asian market.

It's one of such approaches...

and something I want to get done with a sense of duty.

But then again, I do understand why you can't help but suspect...

your own grandson.

The son interfering with the father's long-cherished ambitions.

The younger son ruining the eldest son's accomplishments.

That's what happens within conglomerate owner families.

Sir.

Speak of the devil.

Go on.

The one interfering with his father's ambitions...

and deliberately ruining things for his eldest brother.

Who is it?

I suppose you didn't know.

It's a known fact among most foreign investors.

The one who started the consortium and funded Daeyoung Group.

It's someone in the Soonyang family.

(Daeyoung)

This is why...

life is so interesting.

Who knew...

I'd get help from the Soonyang family?

But what if Jin Yang Cheol finds out?

Will you be all right?

(Daeyoung)

Soonyang Fire Insurance.

It's CEO Jin Dong Ki.

(Daeyoung)

Let me ask you one thing.

Why did you decide...

to betray your father...

and help Daeyoung?

The eldest son succeeding.

This isn't Joseon Dynasty.

(Daeyoung Group, Jin Dong Ki)

Shouldn't the one with proven management abilities...

succeed the throne?

For the sake of Soonyang, of course.

I will tell Mr. Jin Dong Ki to come here at once, sir.

You should...

stop Dong Ki before it gets too late.

Don't bother.

Let Young Ki figure it out.

Whether he manages to bring me Hando Steel...

or lose everything to his younger brother,

let him figure it out.

But aren't you angry, sir?

What Dong Ki did...

He's a businessman, after all.

If a businessman put his parents...

and siblings...

before his profits,

he'd never make money.

Hansung Bank said...

that the most they could do was two billion won.

So? How much more do we need?

To b*at Daeyoung and Power Shares,

we must offer at least billion won.

Seven hundred billion?

Let's offer...

seven hundred fifty billion won.

We can't do that, sir.

Six hundred fifty billion would be the most we could do now.

We've maxed our loans...

There are nonmonetary institutions and loan sharks.

That's too risky.

The chairman would never...

I call the sh*ts!

I, Jin Young Ki, make the decisions.

Even if I must sell all of my shares, I'll make sure to...

Why would you sell your shares?

For whose sake?

Give us some privacy. My brother and I have some catching up to do.

I'll give you...

fifty billion won.

I'll help you acquire Hando Steel.

And you...

will help Chang Je with his political career.

It's a good deal for both of us.

(Deluxe Taxi)

(Soonyang Wins Bidding w*r Over Hando Steel)

After the long talks and negotiations, Soonyang Group...

has finally won the bidding w*r over Hando Steel.

This acquisition will synergistically benefit Soonyang...

especially in the heavy equipment and automotive industries.

Congratulations, sir.

Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki did it.

("Soonyang Group Successfully Acquires Hando Steel")

Oh, look who's here!

The star of the day.

Vice-Chairman Jin Young Ki is here.

What are you doing here?

Let's go inside. We should celebrate.

- Dong Ki.
- Yes?

Thanks.

Come on. Don't mention it.

Thanks to you,

I bought Hando Steel...

at a very expensive price.

Why? Are you surprised?

That I know?

Young Ki, it's...

You fool.

If you're already this surprised, how am I to tell you...

that Father knows too?

The employees are thrilled.

Father, we should consider absorbing all of Hando Steel's employees...

in a positive light.

I commend Young Ki...

for thinking this way.

Don't you agree?

That's going to cost us.

When you win a w*r, you must take your w*r trophies first.

I do not need a general who wishes to exhaust his stockpile first.

Your husband's soup has gotten cold.

Jeong Rae.

No, not for me.

Give it to your husband.

He's been talking nonstop that his soup has gotten cold.

So Hando Steel...

ended up in Jin Young Ki's hands after all.

Jin Young Ki is timid and weak.

Who knew he'd make such a bold move to acquire Hando Steel?

Congratulations.

Cheers!

Everything happened exactly the way you wanted it to.

What kind of magic did you use?

You taught me what to do.

Me? What? When?

How to invest.

Understanding the market...

means that you understand people.

I simply did exactly what you told me to do.

Hello, I'm Ha In Seok from the Secretary's Office.

Mr. Chairman sent me.

(Personal driver to CEO Jin Dong Ki)

I knew that Ha In Seok...

was Jin Dong Ki's man.

Jin Dong Ki set up a trap to get me,

and I used it against him.

If we lose Hando Steel to Power Shares,

your grandfather will be furious.

Hando Steel.

Wouldn't it be better to lose it to Power Shares than to Daeyoung?

Those who are blinded by greed...

can't differentiate between prey and bait.

As I thought,

Daeyoung joined the bidding w*r.

Who knew...

I'd get help from the Soonyang family?

Oh, and...

I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or fate,

but the universe sent me help.

(Restaurant Invitation)

(There's a bug in the flower basket.)

There's a bug in the flower basket.

You're people I can never accept as a partner.

Please leave this room.

The one interfering with his father's ambitions...

and deliberately ruining things for his eldest brother.

Who is it?

Soonyang Fire Insurance.

It's CEO Jin Dong Ki.

So? How much more do we need?

Let's offer...

seven hundred fifty billion won.

I call the sh*ts!

I, Jin Young Ki, make the decisions.

In other words, you used Jin Dong Ki's greed...

to provoke Jin Young Ki's insecurities?

Because understanding people...

is the number one rule in investing.

So you didn't lose Hando Steel to Soonyang.

Rather, you made them end up with a debt of billion won...

by upping the value of Hando Steel.

Right?

And...

talk about perfect timing.

Here's a congratulations gift for you.

You were adamant about this even though I had advised you against it.

Hey, can you even imagine...

how much you've earned?

that you have no interest in running the company.

You still haven't given up?

With all the debts?

Ahjin Motors. Soonyang will buy the company.

It looks like the President gave his approval.

Isn't that a big deal?

A big deal.
