Hey!

QUEEN'S BOXING GYM

You found the right place.

This building has the best wi-fi in town.

Come by whenever you want.

Thank you.

WINNER

BOYS YOUTH GROUP, BAEK HYUN-WOO

"Baek Hyun-woo"?

Did he use to box?

Yes.

And he was good at it.

He's so smart

that he uses his brain when boxing.

He predicts his opponent's movements.

Simply put, he's a living simulator.

He lures you in, then dodges your moves.

He waits until you're exhausted,

and then he lands his punches on you.

You become powerless.

He even knocked me out too.

I couldn't locate you,

so I couldn't send you the papers.

Here you go.

Make sure you hire an attorney.

What?

I called them

before hopping out of my car.

You've been caught in the act,

so you'll be taken to the station.

POLICE FOR THE PEOPLE

MR. YOON EUN-SUNG

MR. PYEON

Hyun-woo?

Have you been lying low

at your ex-husband's of all places?

I'm disappointed.

Disappointed?

That's rich coming from you.

How did you find me?

You should know by now

that I do anything I set my mind to.

It was easy to find you.

So, Hae-in.

Don't turn me any more evil.

Are you threatening me?

Yes, I am.

But here comes

the real threat, so listen up.

I saw your doctor's diagnosis.

But your doctor refuses to elaborate

since I'm not your guardian.

So…

I'm going to be just that.

Are you crazy?

Yes, I think I am a little.

I know you don't have much time.

So I don't either,

and that drives me nuts.

I have nothing to fear.

Fine, do as you please.

I have nothing to fear either.

Your parents don't know that you're ill.

Why haven't you told them?

Because you're scared.

I understand.

They already lost a son once.

Hey, Eun-sung.

Keep acting this way

if you want me to make those

you love miserable.

If you don't,

come back soon.

Your position is still available.

You have two days.

I'll hold a press conference then.

See you there.

Leave it all up to me.

The one who'll save you…

is me, not Hyun-woo.

You b*stard!

How could you do this to us?

How could you do this to me?

I'm going to k*ll you!

Gosh, Soo-cheol.

Hey, are you okay?

Our family is ruined

because I was fooled by you.

I'm to blame.

You idiot.

It's not your fault.

Anyone would've been deceived.

It's not your fault, so stop crying.

Where's Da-hye?

Where is she?

Just tell me

if she's doing fine.

Please.

You just tripped on a stone and fell

while running in the dark.

Why would I?

Because you were drunk.

I didn't drink.

I'm saying the others shouldn't know

that Eun-sung was here.

Why was he here?

I should know why that b*stard came here.

There's something

I need to do,

so don't tell our parents just yet.

Answer me.

Fine.

I have night blindness,

so I couldn't see anything.

You know I can catch

mosquitoes in the dark.

Yes, seeing in the dark

is your sole talent.

Exactly, and it was this guy.

The new chairman of Queens.

- Really?

- Yeah.

That means he's their sworn enemy.

Exactly.

What? Do you know him?

He's my type.

YOON EUN-SUNG

Damn it.

Took you long enough.

Did you delete your Korean number,

email, and social media?

Of course.

I'm moving in under a fake name too.

Good.

Let's not call each other.

- Only call if it's urgent for now.

- Okay.

By the way,

did you see Soo-cheol?

Why?

No reason.

He's very weak-minded.

I'm sure he's shocked.

So? Are you worried?

Why would I be?

I'm just curious. That's all.

Soo-cheol…

is furious at you.

Is that so?

He's going to make you pay

if he finds you,

so lie low.

Okay. Bye.

Of course, he's mad.

I would be too.

He's finally matured up.

He wasn't a complete fool after all.

Da-hye…

Da-hye…

Da-hye…

BAEK HYUN-WOO

The person you dialed is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the beep.

You may need to pay…

What happened?

You got off work hours ago,

so why are you late?

And what happened to your face?

I just…

Well…

- Did you get hit?

- No, I didn't.

How badly hurt are you?

Hae-in, let me explain.

Hae-in. Please?

Let me talk. Hold on. Let me

Stay still.

Stop it.

Come here. Let me check.

Why is this red?

Did you get clubbed or something?

Let me…

explain.

I wasn't beaten up.

Open your mouth.

Did you bite your tongue?

No.

I didn't bite my tongue or get beaten up.

Look. I'm perfectly fine.

I just got some scratches and a split lip.

And why exactly?

Stay still.

I'm not trying to brag,

but I was up against three men.

It wasn't an easy fight.

And they

even carried

batons and other weapons

when they came for me.

And you weren't armed?

Well…

You probably didn't know,

but I used to box when I was little.

I can take blows well,

so it didn't hurt one bit.

Hold on.

It just stung.

Who was it? Which lunatic did this to you?

Remember that land broker

who's on the No Fly List?

So…

you were mobbed

while tracking the scammer down?

But I won.

I'm not impressed.

You should've run away

if you were outnumbered.

He was arrested though.

We can turn the tables

if he's proven guilty

Shut up.

If this ever happens again,

just run away.

Promise me.

Answer me.

You said to shut up.

But promise me.

I'm sorry.

I can't do that.

I've made a promise already.

What promise?

It's about you.

Anyway…

It's a promise to myself.

Don't make promises

about me.

Only married couples do that. And…

We're divorced, so we don't have to.

Come back beaten up like this again,

and I'll k*ll you myself.

Got that?

I wasn't beaten

Okay.

Let's eat.

What happened to your face?

I fell last night.

What happened?

Gosh, what happened to you?

I tripped and fell.

So you both fell?

- Did you guys fight?

- I wouldn't dare.

I heard

that he used to box.

About that…

So you heard.

He visited my gym yesterday.

He was shocked at your trophies.

- I see.

- Did you play sports?

- Yes.

- Gosh.

I can finally say this now,

but it wasn't easy raising him.

He won every contest

and was always

in the top ten in the country

after every exam.

We didn't know which path

to encourage him to take.

You're just perfect.

- No.

- It sounds like I'm bragging about my son.

But it's the truth.

He definitely took after me.

No, Hyeon-tae is the one

who took after you.

Everyone said Hyun-woo

was the odd member of our family.

I take after my mom, so I can't lie.

What about you?

He doesn't take after me.

Why not? Of course, I do.

As for Hae-in,

she's beautiful

just like her mother.

Hyun-woo.

What is it?

Actually…

Hae-in told me not to tell you but

About what?

- What?

- What?

You had something to say.

- Did I?

- No?

I thought you did.

Go on, then.

What's with him?

Ignore him.

Have you applied ointment this morning?

No, I was in a rush.

Let me see your face.

- You need to apply this often.

- But I'm okay now.

No, you're not.

Apply ointment

and replace the bandage often,

so it won't scar.

There.

Go.

Okay.

All right, then.

I'll be leaving now.

Okay.

Drive safely.

What is it?

It's rush hour right now,

so I think I should wait

five minutes.

Well…

It's always best to avoid traffic.

Yes, exactly.

Right.

YONGDU-RI SUPERMARKE

What if we had done just that?

What do you mean?

If we had applied ointment on time,

disinfected our wounds,

and replaced our bandages every time,

would things have been different?

No, before that.

What if we had broken up

around the time when we had ice cream

right here?

If we hadn't gotten married,

we would've cherished

the memories even to this day.

There would've been no need

for wounds

to fester

or scars to form.

You'd have met someone

who was kinder, warmer,

and better than me.

You'd be happily living together.

Probably not.

If we had broken up,

you probably

wouldn't have known how I was doing.

But I would've known what you were up to.

And I probably

would've been regretful.

But if you knew how things would end up

Even still,

I would've made the same choice.

But had I known then what I know now,

I would've asked you more often.

Ask what?

How your day went.

"Is there anything

that's troubling you?"

I regret

not asking you such questions.

What time did you come home last night?

Is the chairman okay?

I understand

what you mean.

But first,

bring the chairman back.

Then we can discuss.

We don't need to.

I'm going to marry Hae-in

as soon as I can.

What? Marry her?

Did she agree to it?

Do you still not know me?

I'll make it happen.

INTRANE

NEW PERSONNEL APPOINTMEN

BAEK HYUN-WOO

REMOVAL FROM POSITION DUE TO MALPRACTICE

Did you read it?

What's going on?

Is something up?

It's smaller than I thought.

It's just right for one person.

You must be shocked

by the sudden announcement.

I did somewhat see it coming.

But…

"malpractice"?

Do you have proof?

Of course. A personnel committee

will be scheduled soon.

Find out for yourself then.

I was surprised.

Yongdu-ri, was it?

The air was fresh.

Even still, how could you take her there?

I guess you didn't hear.

I saw her yesterday.

Did she not tell you?

We had no time.

I was quite busy.

Mr. Pyeon was arrested yesterday.

I see.

I guess you didn't hear.

I don't understand.

From what I heard,

he's also feigning ignorance right now.

But don't worry. I have a knack

for revealing truths.

Is that so?

Good.

Let's do what we do best then.

Bye.

Shouldn't we say hi?

Let's not. He's like Crown Prince Sado

in that rice chest.

- What do you mean?

- Didn't you watch the movie?

Instead of firing him,

they placed him

in front of everyone to see.

They want to see who's on his side.

Jeez, is that why they put him

next to the smoking room?

They want to see who he's close with.

Let's go.

I didn't think you'd pick up my call.

Right.

I don't delete numbers

that haven't been settled yet.

There are always those

who refuse to pay the matchmaking fee.

I chase them to the ends of the earth

and make sure they suffer.

That's my way of settling things.

Yes, I know.

But I'm pretty precise

about my settlements.

What?

Maybe you didn't get what you wanted

because you didn't earn it.

Are you saying I didn't do my job?

Did you dedicate decades of your life

and sl*ve away under this roof?

Or did you live abroad alone

for many years like Eun-sung?

It's not like you worked for free either.

So I'm a bit dumbfounded

that you demanded to be the CEO

after doing a few chores.

Even still, you're telling me to go abroad

with little money.

Isn't that too harsh?

I'll let you be the CEO then.

But do your money's worth.

How?

Find Hong Man-dae.

What?

What do you…

There aren't many hospitals

that are fully staffed around the clock

and have a VVIP room

that covers an entire floor.

All right. Let's begin.

Okay.

Hello.

Is this the VIP room administration

at Hanju Hospital?

Our CEO wants

to receive stem cell therapy.

Is your VIP room

on the 23rd floor available?

What? He did what to my father?

Where did he take him?

I'm still looking into it.

According to the nurse,

Seul-hee wasn't involved.

Eun-sung did it single-handedly.

Damn it.

I'm going to make them pay.

You wait. I called a taxi.

I'll be in Seoul soon.

I'm hanging up.

Hey, you're my mom's daughter.

She tricked me that day.

I was meaning to return this.

Here.

Your mother lent it to me that day.

But…

why did she?

So that…

I could wipe off what I had spilled.

What did you spill?

Why are you crying?

Well…

Gosh, I almost told you.

What's it to you?

Anyway, give that back to her.

Only the biggest fools cry

when times are tough.

What did you say?

I didn't cry.

And only the average fools endure it.

Then what do the wisest do?

They eat meat when times are tough.

Next time, have meat

instead of crying like a fool.

What is he saying?

Meat, my foot.

Jeez, this town is so weird.

VILLAGE HEAD

Looking good, Du-gwan.

Why are you guys here?

We're seeing you off for the last time.

Hey.

Am I dying or something?

I'm Park Seok-hun, the new village head.

INAUGURATION OF PARK SEOK-HUN,

THE NEW VILLAGE HEAD

It's a great day today. Enjoy yourselves.

The inauguration party will take place

at my pork and rice soup restaurant.

Please come by and have some.

I promise to do well!

Please watch me!

- Park Seok-hun!

- Park Seok-hun!

- Park Seok-hun!

- Park Seok-hun!

Let's go eat.

By the way,

where's Chun-sik?

She's his daughter.

We know everyone in this town.

Should we have hired foreigners?

And last time…

Tell me in detail.

What did Seok-hun's men say to you?

Remember we went drinking

during the farm succession gathering?

And the receipt went missing.

- That's why?

- That's not all.

They also brought

all the part-time resumes

from the urban-rural bazaar two years ago

and claimed the part-timers

were chosen out of favor.

I can't believe them.

Calm down.

There are two things

that don't exist in this world.

One, freebies.

Two,

a peaceful transfer of power.

That's true, Du-gwan.

Those are worldwide facts.

They're doing what they all do.

When a new power takes over,

they torment those closest

to the previous one.

Goodness.

That's not all.

They'll be erasing all traces

of the previous regime soon.

Erasing traces?

Paint more. I can still see it.

Here, use this.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Sure.

VILLAGE HEAD

Seok-hun.

The pears are innocent.

What?

What you want to erase aren't those pears.

It's my presence in this village.

You want to erase my reputation

as the wisest village head.

That's not true.

Yongdu-ri's new catchphrase will be

"The Pretty Apple Village."

So we need to draw them.

There are tons of walls around here.

Did you have to use this one?

We're not asking you

to treat us as if we're still in power.

Just treat us with some respect.

Are you going to keep watching?

It's uncomfortable.

INBOX

UNDELIVERED

DA-HYE

Where are you?

- I'm behind the tree.

- I see.

Thanks, honey. You saved me.

Stay focused.

- Use your poisoned darts.

- I have none. I only have a hatchet.

I told you to upgrade

your weapons when you get money.

Who uses a hatchet nowadays?

Even a Vulcan isn't enough.

I don't have any money.

I need to hunt to get some,

but I've been too busy to go hunting.

Look behind you.

You keep getting hit

because you only look ahead.

You see, they come from the front

when I look back.

Look behind you!

Are you mad that I'm bad at this?

We live in a dog-eat-dog world,

so you have to be more cautious.

FRIEND LIS

GEONUMAMA

What's the matter?

OFFLINE

2 HOURS, 3 MINUTES, 4 SECONDS

Da-hye…

was online two hours ago.

Thank you so much.

Seriously. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Go home safely, ma'am.

Bye.

Hello, ma'am.

I just met with the Sama Medical Center

director's wife.

Chairman Ryu Seong-gwang's mistress

is at their VIP room.

She's resting

after getting her breasts done

Yes.

Okay. I'll call you back later.

What brings you here?

I remember you telling me

that you knew little

about legal matters

since you've been in the beauty industry

and matchmaking wealthy families

all your life.

- So?

- So I'm here to tell you something.

You're managing

thirteen unregistered branches

of your spa.

You shouldn't do that.

Look.

You're nitpicking over the fact

that I worked harder than others.

That hurts my feelings.

Not only did you work hard,

but you also dodged a hefty sum of taxes.

Gosh, how much tax is all this?

How much

By the way, who are you?

Right.

This is me.

ATTORNEY

KIM YANG-GI

Ms. Ko.

You're like a celebrity in our field,

so I'm a bit starstruck right now.

Why am I famous?

Because you're an excellent matchmaker

and homewrecker.

You'd do everything

in your power to split couples up

if they didn't pay you well.

You'd make false reports anonymously

and hire people to seduce them.

Thanks to you, I got some work.

These are all the clients

at our firm.

This has nothing to do with you,

so why do you care?

These divorced couples

won't sit still

if they find out the truth.

They're all hot-tempered

and from influential backgrounds.

The National Assembly,

Prosecutors' Office, the court…

Goodness.

This chairman

was a former gangster.

I get it, so be quiet.

Why are you doing this?

I was on your side deep down.

Then you should prove it.

But you see…

Sentiments don't move me.

Only cash does.

I'll be honest.

They offered me a wonderful deal,

so I'm hesitant to refuse it.

So first, let me see what you can offer

Damn it!

You have no right to bargain.

Are you a calculator?

You're very quick-thinking.

How could you think of striking a deal?

Jeez.

That's so harsh.

Don't compare me to an object.

You know me, right?

I never hesitate to get my hands dirty.

Quit calculating

unless you want to go to prison.

Speaking from experience,

you're the type those ladies

hate the most.

Yoon Eun-sung is very thorough.

There was nothing on the dashcam.

I came up with a list

of high-level general hospitals

that allow security guards

and have VIP rooms with private elevators

where you can rent out an entire floor.

- I've been looking into them.

- So? Did you find him?

It'll take a few days.

I think we should search

within an hour driving radius from Seoul.

Why?

Chairman Hong is critically ill.

Most ambulances don't have oxygen tanks,

which means the medical team

must've had to manually give him oxygen.

They could've only done that for an hour.

Yes, that's plausible.

Then that rules out five of these.

I'll ask around and check the rest.

Let's share the list and look into it too.

Yes, ma'am.

You're like a family.

I'm loving this vibe.

The other side wasn't friendly at all.

Do you think I was happy to kick you out?

How have you all been?

How is Ms. Kim doing?

Wait.

I'm sorry, Mi-seon. I should just leave.

Goodness, we're already here though.

They're all in there

and waiting to apologize.

I already know what they're going to say.

"We didn't know you were present."

"We weren't trying to hurt you.

We're sorry."

We didn't know you were here.

We weren't trying to offend you.

Anyway, we're really sorry.

Right? You're sorry.

They just don't know the full story.

Exactly. We only read

about how you were ruined.

- Right?

- But still, we didn't believe the media.

"No way. They'll probably still prosper

- for another three years."

- That's right.

- Yes.

- We wanted to check the facts.

And share the truth.

I understand.

I'm at fault too.

I should've told you I was here.

- I was only listening in.

- I'm relieved.

We'll be seeing each other often,

so I'm glad we reconciled.

That's right.

It won't be for that long.

We're just taking a break.

We're only here to rest.

We've been to places like Bali,

Hawaii, and Cancún way too often.

So we thought we'd visit

an unusual place this time.

"Unusual"?

Compared to Cancún? Definitely.

Yongdu-ri is unique,

and there's no ocean either.

It's a bit uncomfortable,

but I think this is a good experience.

When will I get

to stay at a place like this ever again?

No amount of money

can buy this experience.

Right, and you're broke too.

- Sorry?

- It's true that you're poor for now.

Their assets are frozen, right?

Yes, but they'll get them later.

Right, but they don't know

if they'll still be alive by then.

Our family owns 50,000 pyeongs' worth

of land that's been a green belt

for 50 years.

Exactly.

All right, then.

How about you guys all leave

now that you've reconciled?

I've never seen anyone leave our town

after saying that they would.

Excuse me, but what are you getting at?

I just have a hunch

that we'll be seeing each other often

for a very long time.

And I'm happy about that.

Let's go then.

- Go?

- Yes, go.

- Right now?

- Yes, right now.

- Bye.

- We're going now.

What…

Goodness.

I'm so stressed.

Caffeine.

Caffeine!

JUNE'S GARDEN

PLEASE PAY IN ADVANCE

I'd like to order.

Please take my order.

We take orders up here.

Two shots of espresso.

That'll be 3,200 won.

- Do you have an affiliated card?

- It's okay.

Here.

It doesn't work.

How will you pay, ma'am?

Look. I'm in dire need of some coffee.

Can I drink some first,

then pay you later?

Drink first, pay later.

May I do that?

I'm sorry, but there's a line.

Could you step aside?

Hello.

Ten iced Americanos,

ten iced lattes, a container of syrup,

and another one full of ice cubes.

- Okay?

- Sure. I know.

Also, I'd like to pay for hers too.

Okay.

Why are you having coffee

when you can't sleep well?

Anyway, thanks for the coffee.

No need to thank me.

It's not free.

All right, let's begin.

- Okay.

- Natasha.

Yes?

Be her mentor for the day.

Okay.

Nepotism?

Are you talking to me, young lady?

Yes, I'm talking to you.

Why are you speaking casually?

I'm older than you.

I'm not a young lady. I'm your senior.

Do you know what that means?

Yes, times have changed.

I didn't even dare to step

on my seniors' shadows back in the day.

What? What shadow?

Is she a boomer or what?

Do you not want to learn? Forget it.

Fine. What am I supposed to do?

Follow me.

Hurry up.

Come on.

I'll only demonstrate once.

Do this. Then this.

Then like this.

Your turn.

Like this?

Hold this part.

No, not like that.

You told me to hold it!

Is Korean that hard?

Do you not understand?

Hold it like this.

Ms. Jeon!

You should fire her. She's a lost cause.

- Jeez.

- What? You are.

There sure was nepotism involved.

Gosh!

Look at you.

You didn't get lost.

So? Do you want a hug?

No, thanks. Did you bring it?

You know this is a violation

of the labor law, right?

I should be at a farm right now,

baking pizza with organic cheese.

Do you want a hug?

No, thanks.

I just don't get it.

Why did you choose to stay

at your former in-laws'?

We were in a rush

and just happened to stay here for a bit.

Still, I wouldn't have come here.

Let's say I had to choose

between prison and my in-laws.

- I'd choose the former.

- No way.

At least I wouldn't have

to cook in prison.

My mother-in-law cooks everything.

We had japchae and ribs for breakfast.

Gosh, you said "mother-in-law."

Be honest. Is the divorce fake?

- What are you saying?

- If not, how could you be so affectionate?

I'm not affectionate. You're mistaken.

Why do you think Mr. Baek is still at work

even after the humiliation he received?

What humiliation did he get?

I guess you didn't hear.

I heard on my way here.

He's waiting to be reassigned.

Waiting to be reassigned? What for?

Some malpractice or something.

They'll hold a personnel committee soon.

Malpractice?

What kind?

The Audit

couldn't find anything on him.

He received bribes from a law firm.

What?

Hold on.

Did he embezzle money from labor costs?

He gave a rival company

a list of our VIP customers.

There are many more

that I can come up with.

So you're going to make false accusations?

Is that it?

I'm debating which one to use.

But whatever it is,

he'll become an ex-convict.

Hey, you're coming home together.

Right.

I had an appointment in Seoul.

Hey.

I thought long and hard.

- "Should I tell him this?"

- Then don't.

Do you know who came by last night?

I do.

You do? So you know

Yoon Eun-sung visited Hae-in.

I do.

But why did he secretly visit her

in the middle of the night?

Is something going on between them?

Don't be ridiculous.

Don't snap at me.

I didn't snap at you,

and there's nothing going on.

There's absolutely nothing going on.

You don't know anything.

What's his problem?

No way.

Is he jealous?

Hae-in didn't even budge

after hearing about So-yeong.

But Hyun-woo…

Gosh.

What an idiot.

Jeez.

Great job today!

Thank you!

- Let's start with Natasha.

- Okay.

You picked 4,000

which makes the total 280,000 won.

But I'll give you 300,000 won.

As for you, you picked 70 which makes

the total 4,900 won.

You owe me coffee,

so you'll get 1,700 in total.

- Ms. Lee Su-gyeong?

- Here.

- Good work.

- Thank you!

- Ms. Park Seon-nyeo?

- Here.

- Great job.

- Goodness.

Honey, here are your sleeping pills.

Goodness, honey.

You haven't slept so well

without any medication in a long time.

Why are you drinking alone at this hour?

Well…

I feel gloomy now that

I've stepped down from my position.

I was only the village head

of this tiny neighborhood.

I can understand.

Gosh.

- Really?

- Take a look.

My battery is still half full at this hour

since no one has called me.

I see.

No one's picking up either.

When I used to be the vice-chairman,

I almost never heard the message

that played when you didn't pick up.

But I hear it every day now.

Gosh.

This is the end of our reign.

I agree with the saying

that even your shadow abandons you

in dark times.

Goodness.

Do you have any makgeolli?

Father! You said Chemicals

and Motors were mine.

Then break up with her.

If not, you'll never get my companies!

No, I refuse to break up with her.

What did you say?

- Never.

- How dare you?

Stop! Stop right there!

CEO JANG AND HIS THREE SONS

Come on, now.

They always end it at the best parts.

Goodness.

Do they really do that?

Sorry?

Is that how the rich live?

I beg to differ.

Those dramas make me think

the writers didn't do

their research properly.

How come?

The characters

are often seen grabbing their necks.

But the rich are very strict

about their blood pressure.

- After all, we have a live-in doctor.

- A live-in doctor?

They remove sodium from our diet

if our blood pressure rises even a bit.

They remove it all.

And the houses

all have stairs in the living room.

Exactly. You don't all have them, do you?

It's not the Opera House.

We all do, and we often use them

to go upstairs.

But we take the elevator

when going down to protect our knees.

The writers need to do better research.

This is just right.

Are you sleeping?

Hae-in, are you asleep?

What is it?

Say what you need to say.

I heard Eun-sung came by yesterday.

Did Soo-cheol tell you?

That's not important.

What did he say?

He just asked why I was here.

What's it to him?

What else?

He also told me

to work again

and come home.

Come home?

Yes.

Will he move out if you do?

He'll stay?

Well…

We didn't talk in detail.

Does he want to live with you?

You two aren't together.

Neither are we, but look at us.

No, we're different. We were…

married.

But not anymore.

You've helped me so far,

and I think you've done enough.

What are you saying?

I heard you're waiting to be assigned.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's nothing.

How is it nothing

when the reason is malpractice?

Who knows on what documents

they forged your signature?

Embezzlement? Something ill*gal?

He's capable of anything.

You're in no position to worry about me.

You didn't want to worry about me.

Same goes for me.

I'll take care of my own issues.

I feel uncomfortable

that you're suffering uselessly

because of me.

Don't be so cold.

I'm just doing it for you

Don't do anything for me.

I'll find my own solutions.

Hello, Doctor.

Yes, I'm taking the medication.

But I've been getting

a lot of headaches lately.

I've been giving myself

the WBC injection every day.

The tumor didn't seem

to have grown in the latest photos.

Could it be something else?

Hyun-woo.

Wake up.

Wake up right now.

What is it?

Tell me the truth.

Hae-in is sick, isn't she?

Tell me. She's been acting strange lately.

She also fainted last time.

I think she's injecting herself too.

I think something is up.

She wants it to be a secret.

But…

I need you to take care of her

when I'm away,

so I'll confide in you.

What is it?

She has…

a brain tumor.

But…

it's big,

and it's a rare case.

So she can't get surgery right now.

She's monitoring it

while taking medication.

But the rate

isn't high.

What rate?

Do you mean

the survival rate?

Goodness.

I can't believe this.

She's still so young.

No one in her family knows

except for her aunt.

Not even her parents?

No.

They should still know about this.

When did you find out?

Do you remember that day when I visited

and said I wanted to divorce her?

I found out that day

after returning to Seoul.

What do you mean?

So…

you were determined to divorce her,

then suddenly had

a change of heart because…

Yes.

After finding out about it,

I had decided to maintain our marriage.

You scumbag.

You should know better.

Oh, dear.

I had no idea

and only pitied you.

How could you?

I know.

I'm a scumbag.

Hae-in found out about everything

yet still came here when I told her to.

So, Mom…

please take…

good care of her

when I'm away.

I beg you.

Mom.

What is it?

I came by for some kimchi.

Your mom is crying.

- Why?

- Isn't it obvious?

She was always against it

and wanted me to quit.

But now that I've stepped down,

she must be upset.

What? She said she was relieved

that you were no longer the village head.

She didn't mean it.

Goodness.

Mom.

Just go. Come back later.

This is a feast.

I should just eat here today.

Tell Hae-in to come and eat.

Okay.

Honey.

What's with you? Move.

I know what you're going through.

But…

you see…

Why don't you think like this?

I, Baek Du-gwan,

used to belong to the people.

But now, I'm all yours.

Why would I ever want that?

Is that so?

Goodness, we're feasting for breakfast.

What's the occasion?

Please help yourselves.

Hae-in, come and eat.

Okay.

Where's your sister?

Beom-ja left for Seoul

in the morning to run some errands.

I see.

Gosh, it would've been nice

had she eaten with us.

Let's eat.

By the way, where's Soo-cheol?

QUEEN'S BOXING GYM

GEONUMAMA HAS LOGGED IN

Da-hye.

- Da-hye.

- Gosh.

Why is he playing this?

I kept my character

because of all the items.

- Jeez.

- Let me just say one thing.

Forget it. You'll just swear at me.

GEONUPAPA SENT A MESSAGE

What is this?

This is Geon-u's vaccination record

in English and Korean.

He needs his second round of MMR vaccine

and chicken pox vaccine.

Make sure he gets them wherever you are.

Make sure you sing

"Baby Shark" when he gets them.

Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo

Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo

Baby shark

Mommy Shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo

All done.

- Thank you.

- Gosh.

Gosh, Geon-u.

Did it hurt?

Well done.

He didn't even cry.

Come on.

GEONUMAMA HAS LOGGED OU

Going somewhere?

- Seoul.

- All of a sudden?

Look.

Even Beom-ja left for Seoul.

Why are you all going there?

Do you want the reporters to see you?

We're in hiding, you know?

There's something I must do.

I heard Eun-sung visited.

What kind of plans are you having

Soo-cheol keep secret?

Are you going to meet him today too?

For what? Are you going

to beg him to spare at least you?

Of course, I should.

Should we all go down together?

What? I can't believe you.

Don't tell me you'll work for him.

That was my spot from the get-go.

Don't tell me you two colluded

so you could kick your family out

and take over the company all by yourself.

Think however you want.

Hey!

Sweetie, are you going to Seoul?

Yes.

You won't get any taxis here.

I'll drive you. Hop on.

Hold tight.

Mother.

Yes?

Thank you for everything.

Are you going somewhere far away?

That's odd for you to say.

The wind must be strong.

My eyes are getting watery.

Of course. I know this is forbidden.

But we've never kept

any secrets from each other.

Remember when your youngest son

fled to Sokcho because he couldn't forget

his first love

and I went there to get him?

We can laugh about it now.

He was in so much pain.

Las Vegas, was it?

He went there to do drugs

Exactly.

So will you tell me?

Of course.

No one will know that you told me.

Who?

I see. Chairman Hong Man-dae from Queens?

So that's where he is.

Does Mr. Baek know that Ms. Hong is here?

I don't think so.

Right, she left him.

- Where are you rushing to?

- As you know, it's an emergency.

What's going on?

You haven't heard.

Let's keep it that way.

Welcome back.

I didn't return because of your threats.

I know you won't return what was ours.

So if I can't get it back,

I guess I'll have to share.

So keep your word.

The press conference will begin soon.

Like we mentioned before,

we won't answer any questions.

PRESS CONFERENCE FOR THE INAUGURATION

OF YOON EUN-SUNG AT QUEENS GROUP

Hae-in.

How did you know?

Why are you here?

I told you.

I'll find my own solutions.

And this…

- is your solution?

- Yes.

I like things to be certain and quick.

Let's go. It's almost time.

- Are you sure this is it?

- I'm telling you.

I double-checked. I'm positive.

MS. MOH SEUL-HEE

- Hello, ma'am.

- Have you found him yet?

No, ma'am.

I searched all throughout Seoul.

Maybe he's in a rural area.

Of course.

I'll call you as soon as I find him.

Did you see that? I turned my back on her.

Yes, his condition is the same.

Yes.

The major economic newspapers, dailies,

live media, and ones overseas

have made additional requests,

so we're getting them in order.

The PR

has already handed out a guide.

You can follow this guide,

and we'll release it

without an embargo.

We'll have a teleprompter,

so you can relax and read the words.

What about your wedding announcement?

Don't include that.

I'll announce it at the end.

Yes, sir.

Is that okay?

Hello, I'm Yoon Eun-sung.

Pione Investment has become

Queens' second biggest shareholder.

And I became the new chairman

of Queens Group

after holding

an extraordinary general meeting.

This decision was inevitable

since the former chairman fell ill,

and we had to stop the fall of our stocks.

In addition, I've had a lot

of experience in saving companies

from crises and restabilizing them.

Despite everything, however,

I was tormented by groundless assumptions

and fake accusations

about how I betrayed the former chairman,

kicked out his family,

stole from them, confined them,

and stowed them away in Southeast Asia.

One thing for sure is

this was exactly

what the former chairman wanted.

To prove this

and clear up the misunderstandings,

I'd like to make a big announcement today.

I will reappoint Ms. Hong Hae-in,

my longtime friend

and talented businesswoman,

as the CEO of Queens Department Store.

During the past three years,

the store made

all-time record profits

under her management.

That just shows how competent she is.

Now, let's hear from her.

Hello, I'm Hong Hae-in.

Like Chairman Yoon just said,

he and I have been friends

since university.

And Mr. Yoon…

MR. YOON AND I WILL DO OUR BES

TO TAKE A NEW LEAP FORWARD

He…

threatened me.

He threatened to falsely charge

and put Mr. Baek Hyun-woo,

my husband

and former legal director, behind bars.

I have a recording as proof.

Wait, Hae-in.

Furthermore, I can't return to my position

as the CEO of my department store.

Because…

I was told…

that I have little time left to live.

Drink up! Bottoms up!

FOUR YEARS AGO

Bottoms up!

Nice!

Why is our intern, Hae-in, not drinking?

Drink up!

I already told you that I wasn't drinking.

Is that so? Then let's do a love shot.

Come on.

Okay. Drink up.

- Love shot.

- Okay. Drink up.

- Love shot.

- Who's that?

What are you doing?

I'm drinking instead of her.

What are you doing?

What is this?

Why don't you do the love shot with me?

Ms. Hong, why are you so upset?

Did I make you uncomfortable back there?

Yes, extremely.

I was just

You were just too cute.

- What?

- You're too adorable when you're drunk.

But you still got drunk and acted cute

in front of other women.

How dare you?

It won't happen again.

Don't forget.

You make people's hearts race

when you're drunk.

That's your special move.

So don't do it in front of others.

Okay.

I won't do it.

That's what she said.

LAST NIGH

Hae-in said I made her heart race

when I got drunk.

Let's go home.

You're drunk.

Do you think she still feels the same way?

Will her heart still race

even now if I got drunk

and acted cute?

She wouldn't have divorced you then.

Why does my heart race when I look at her?

- It does?

- Yes, it does.

I get butterflies,

and I'm happy when I look at her.

I miss her when she's gone.

And when I look at her,

I'm terrified

that I won't ever see her again.

Goodness.

But she doesn't want me…

to do anything

for her anymore.

I make her uncomfortable.

She must not like you anymore.

But she put this bandage on me

and even applied ointment for me.

Really? Then does she still like you?

It's confusing.

Just ask her.

She likes me.

She likes me not.

She likes me.

She likes me not.

She likes me.

She likes me not.

She likes me.

She likes me not.

She likes me.

She likes me.

She likes me not.

She likes me.

She likes me not.

She likes me.

She likes me not.

She likes me.

She likes me not.

She likes me?

Really?

Gosh.

But that's not the case for me.

I…

Love her.

I love you, Hae-in.

QUEEN OF TEARS

I'll give you anything you want…

I'll be with her.

I'm happy as long as you dry my hair

with the broken hair dryer.

Please teach me how to box.

- Berries?

- Shall we meet tonight?

At night?

He's looking

for the chairman's secret fund.

I'm going to find it first.

Get rid

of Baek Hyun-woo.

I can't die yet.

I haven't told you yet.

I love you.
