(Dear Youth, Get a Goal

and Make It Come True!)

(Dear Youth, Get a Goal

and Make It Come True!)

If you get close to Cho Tae Sub,

you might meet me.

The Grim Reaper?

It's nice to meet you all.

I am Cho Tae Sub.

- Nice to meet you!

- Nice to meet you!

You played a huge role

in leading the party

to victory in the

presidential election last year.

Over 45 percent of eligible voters

in their 20s voted in the election.

I'd like to hear your thoughts

on communicating with

the younger generation.

I keep my mouth shut and open my wallet.

I listen to Super Junior

and Lee Hyo Lee's music.

Also, I still read Guiyeoni's

novels in secret

while constantly pressing Alt-Tab

because I want to get into your heads.

Just kidding.

You need to be able to understand

other generations

and respect their cultures without

having to listen to the same music.

Intergenerational communication

should not be forced.

The younger generation

should feel at ease and comfortable enough

to communicate

without the older generation

having to open their wallets.

But perhaps, the selfishness

of the older generation,

especially of the privileged,

is preventing us from getting there.

Cutting tuition fees in half.

It was one of the President's

campaign promises.

- Do you think it's doable?

- No!

- Do you think it's doable?

- No!

No.

Our ultimate goal isn't

just cutting them in half.

We want the government to

absorb all tuition fees!

(Dear Youth, Get a Goal

and Make It Come True!)

They say that everyone has the freedom

and the right to dream.

But what's the use?

You need an opportunity

to make it happen with ease,

and such opportunities should

be given to everyone fairly.

Every generation's voice should be heard,

and every voice

must have the same level of power.

Only then can you make it big

even when you come from nothing.

Dream and put your dreams into action.

That and your hopes

are the only things

that can protect our society.

The future belongs to those who dream.

My young friends.

Please dream.

Set goals for your future.

You are our present

and future.

Please protect our future.

Cho Tae Sub is here to help.

- Yes!

- How inspiring!

What a motivational speech!

Cho Tae Sub. This sure won't be easy.

(To Kim Hyo Min, Our youth are the future)

Thank you. May I take a picture with you?

Thank you.

Sir, may I get your autograph too?

Sure.

- What is your name?

- Kim Kyu Ri, sir.

- May I get your autograph too?

- I want one too.

- Me too.

- He's so cool.

- You're handsome!

- Thank you.

- You're so cool.

- It's my turn.

- Sir.

- Wait for your turn!

If you had one more life remaining,

would you use it to

arrest Cho Tae Sub again?

Promise me.

Can you make him suffer?

Thank you. I will be sure

to keep my promise.

Okay. Please do.

The Grim Reaper was a member

of Cho Tae Sub's entourage?

- There he is.

- He's coming out.

- Oh, my goodness.

- He's here!

(Dear Youth, Get a Goal

and Make It Come True!)

Me too! I want a photo too!

Ms. Han Ji Hyun, what's next?

We'll check out the constituency

and visit the children's home, sir.

Okay, good.

Han Ji Hyun.

- There he is.

- He's here!

Sir.

It's been a while.

How have you all been doing?

- Good!

- Good!

Let me pick you up.

Oh, boy. Hey, little pumpkin.

You're heavy now.

Just grow up healthy and happy.

Here, careful.

Sir, I made this for you.

- You did? You can put it here.

- Okay.

Thank you, Ye Sung.

I wrote you a letter.

A letter, really?

You have such nice handwriting, Soo Min.

Thank you.

Hold on. That little lady

is standing alone over there.

Hello. We've never met before, have we?

I see. What is your name?

Park Ji Na.

Ji Na? What a pretty name.

How do you like it here?

The director takes such great care of me.

I see. Come here, Ji Na.

This country will take care of you

as your parents would.

You're not alone.

I'll always

be rooting for you.

Don't ever forget that, okay?

Promise.

(Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub Visits

Public Welfare Facilities)

(Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub Visits

Public Welfare Facilities)

Han Ji Hyun.

Cho Tae Sub won't just

keep anyone around him.

The fact that I don't know

about her probably means

Make sure to catch him.

Show him there is pain in this world too.

(Visited children's homes,

traditional markets)

Does that mean she died before I did?

Thank you. I will be sure

to keep my promise.

- Here, let me pour you one.

- Thank you.

- Should I pour my own drink?

- No, let me.

- Here.

- All the way to the top.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

This is nice.

My gosh.

Why did Hee Woo go to his lecture?

I didn't think he'd be

Hee Woo's cup of tea.

Smart, cool kids

always want to know about

both sides of the coin.

Hold on.

Progressives and conservatives.

Like me.

That is not what I meant.

It's just that he

That man seems like such a hypocrite.

He says one thing but is thinking another.

- Do you know him personally?

- I don't need to know him.

I can see right through him.

What about me?

You?

You always say what you think.

No surprises.

- And?

- You just need to be charming.

- For real?

- Yes.

My gosh, that's so hard.

By the way, we're classmates.

Just drop the honorifics.

Well, I don't know how

I feel about that, sir.

Besides, you look older

than your age, so I can't.

Why does that matter?

Your mental age is what matters.

I'm forever 14, still in my

2nd year of middle school.

Okay! Then I really will

drop the honorifics now.

- Okay.

- So we're friends?

Okay, Hee A!

Drop the honorifics?

What are you talking about?

Hey, Hee Woo. Hee A and I are friends now.

Why are you so obsessed with

befriending your juniors?

I really don't get it.

Friends, my foot.

You said you were 14.

All right, then. Call me "big sister."

- Big sister.

- Big sister.

- Big sister.

- My big sister, Hee A.

"Big sister"?

Hey, age is nothing but a number.

Can we not care about stuff

like that and just be free?

- Hey, let's drink. Come on.

- Okay, let's drink.

- Drink up.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Bottoms up.

Let's go for another drink.

Come on, Hee Woo. I'm not drunk at all.

- I'm sober.

- You're clearly drunk.

- No, come on.

- Get in. It's time to go home.

- I really am sober now.

- Okay, just get in the car.

- Hey, you little

- Goodness.

Hee Woo.

You know that I'm holding back, right?

You see, I can do whatever

I want with this world.

What should I do?

Should I

eat it up?

Or should I crush it?

Crush it, tear it down, or

do whatever you want with it.

- Just go home.

- Wait, but

To Sangdo-dong, please.

Darn, what is this? Goodness.

- You're like an old geezer.

- Okay, bye!

I'm exhausted.

Who are you?

Hey, are you a stalker?

Hey.

Who is he? He's not an ordinary man.

- This is a misunderstanding.

- A misunderstanding?

I saw you following her from the pub.

Like I said, it is a misunderstanding.

Hey, why must you

make me "misunderstand" your intentions

by following her?

What's your deal?

Kim Hee Woo. Mr. Park?

What are you two doing right now?

My apologies, Ms. Kim.

There was a little misunderstanding.

You know him?

Oh, he's

Kim Hee A, I remembered

who you were.

(Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo)

Kim g*n Young, a business tycoon

and the chairman of Chunha,

passed away at age 78.

Continuing the legacy of his

late father and the founder

of the company, Kim Sung Man,

he grew Chunha and expanded it globally.

He leaves behind his eldest son,

Managing Director Kim Yong Jun

of Chunha Electronics,

his younger son, Managing Director

Kim Sung Jun of Chunha Motors,

and his daughter, Kim Hee A.

Her face was revealed for the first time

at her father's funeral.

She is Chairman Kim g*n Young's

only daughter.

Why did our paths cross?

Hee Woo, can you not

tell anyone about this?

Cho Tae Sub used Chunha

to stash his slush fund.

I don't like him, Cho Tae Sub.

If I'm right about this,

Hee A may take my side.

He sure isn't an ordinary student.

His parents work night shifts at a factory.

- Yes.

- His grades rose

from bottom to top?

Is this really possible?

And he goes to Hankuk Law School,

where only the top one percent can get in.

He's only 20,

yet you couldn't beat him right away?

Had she not jumped in and stopped us

I'm not sure what could have happened, sir.

Has anyone outdone you

in a fistfight before?

No, sir.

He sure isn't an ordinary kid.

- Find out more about him.

- Yes, sir.

Dad.

- Hi, Dad.

- I heard you got a boyfriend.

He's not my boyfriend. We're just friends.

I heard he thought Jin Hyuk

was a stalker and fought with him.

I should thank him, in a way.

Yes. And you know what?

They were neck and neck.

They were practically flying around.

I felt like I was watching

a martial arts movie.

- Really?

- Yes.

He really is something.

I mean, he studies all the time.

How does he find time to work out?

He has such good manners,

and he's good-looking

I mean, he is good-looking,

but he's not my type.

Come on. Don't give me that.

Looks like you're head over heels for him.

No way.

Well, I am rethinking my decision

to go study abroad.

You are?

Then I should ask him to make you stay.

Really?

What? I guess you really are serious.

You didn't even listen to me

when I tried to stop you.

- I'm hurt.

- I was just kidding.

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub is here, sir.

Let him in.

I'm off to school.

All right.

My goodness. Look who's here.

Hello.

Long time no see.

I heard you got into Hankuk University.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Study hard

and become one of the top talents

that will lead this nation.

AI and information technology

will take the world by storm

in the near future.

Yes, I will remember that.

I'll leave you two to talk.

It's been a while, sir.

Hee A has grown up to be a fine young lady.

She's still a kid.

- Please take a seat.

- Sure.

I don't like him.

Nice, instant coffee.

This brings back so many memories.

He's so fake.

Me? What did I do?

What? What do you mean?

You said just now that I was fake.

Oh, not you.

- I was talking about him.

- I see.

Everyone has the right to life.

Hence, the members of

the National Assembly

must create systems and laws

to ensure fairness in every aspect.

- "Fairness"? As if.

- That should be our goal.

Do you think Cho Tae Sub is a bad person?

Bingo. People just don't know it yet.

How do you know?

Me?

You'll find out when the time comes.

Liars and hypocrites always

get caught in the end.

Hey, Hee Woo.

- Hi, Kyu Ri.

- Are you busy now?

- Can you help me with something?

- Sure.

Can you hold onto these

until you see me in class later?

I have class now,

but I can't carry everything.

- I'll buy you dinner.

- Sure, no problem at all.

Are you reading that these days?

Oh, I'm reading it again for my

History of Western Culture course.

- I see.

- See you later.

All right.

Did you say you two went

to the same academy?

- Kyu Ri and I? Yes.

- I see.

Then you guys must've studied together

all day at the academy.

Yes, most of the time. Why do you ask?

You were her gopher, weren't you?

You're so used to doing as you're told.

Oh, is that the impression I give off?

I guess I understand why

Hold onto my books too.

Okay, sure.

Hee A, this is Hey, Hee A.

Hey, brother!

Say hi. My friend from med school.

His name is Moon Sung Hwan.

We were the best students

in our department.

Hello, I'm Moon Sung Hwan.

Nice to meet you.

He's very easygoing.

Moon Sung Hwan?

The name rings a bell.

I suggest you acquire Mirae Motors

so you can further grow Chunha Group.

- That's

- I'll give you some time to think.

I do not want Mirae Motors to

be sold to a foreign company.

How many times have we seen

foreigners eat up these companies

and just run off with the money?

I do get your point, but

Mirae Motors needs capital immediately.

The bank has agreed

to loan them an emergency fund.

That's only a temporary solution.

From what I heard, their total debt

is almost one trillion won.

That is correct.

If nothing is done, Mirae Motors

will continue to pour water

into a bottomless jar.

But under the Chunha brand,

everything will change.

Sir, companies are opening

factories overseas

in order to reduce manufacturing costs.

And soon, one robot

will replace 10,000 workers.

Companies like Mirae Motors

with no overseas factories

do not appeal to a businessman like me.

This is odd.

I'm surprised you don't understand

the gist of my suggestion.

There is only one answer you can give me.

There are some things

that you must give up.

You'll have to acquire Mirae Motors.

Everyone at our school went bonkers

upon finding out that the two geniuses

were dropping out.

Don't call yourself a genius.

If I didn't, no one would.

- Because you say it all the time.

- I see.

In any case, I dropped out

to pursue my dreams,

whereas he did it because he

wanted to change the world.

I see. That is very cool.

Not really. Call it foolhardy.

But you've done no harm to anyone.

I give you credit for that.

And kudos to you for being so decisive.

Well, my medical studies

somehow made me want

to make this world a more

convenient place for us humans.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing though.

Just change the name,

and I bet it'll do much better.

I'm talking about an app that he developed.

It's got such a childish name.

- What was it, Heehee Talk?

- Haha Talk.

Haha Talk?

Yes.

Moon Sung Hwan, the man

who developed Haha Talk.

("Failed Young Entrepreneur,

Moon Sung Hwan,")

("Leaves Korea to Study Abroad")

He developed a world-changing platform.

But after losing the

intellectual property case

against Jeil Telecommunications,

he suddenly left the country

to study abroad.

Hey. Heehee Talk will be better,

don't you think?

Is the name too childish?

No, I think it's great.

You can trust his opinion.

What do you say? Do you think

it can change the world?

Yes, totally.

I mean

I have a good feeling about it.

Hey, I feel like I can really

trust him for some reason.

- Right?

- Yes, this is great.

This is why I wanted you to meet him.

Anyway, it must be hard

to do everything by yourself.

I feel like I've reached my limits

both financially and logistically.

I've actually applied for a program

sponsored by a big company.

A big company?

Yes, Chunha Telecommunications'

Youth Entrepreneurship Program.

What? Chunha Telecommunications, not Jeil?

- That's right.

- The results aren't announced yet,

but the CEO contacted him and

said he wanted to meet him.

Do you happen to know the CEO's name?

CEO Kim Chan Il, I think.

CEO Kim Chan Il?

Yes.

Kim Chan Il?

(Chunha Telecommunications

Youth Entrepreneurship Program)

It's a no-go

But according to the report released

by the economic research center,

it is the easiest one to commercialize

Hey, did you not understand

what I just said?

I did, sir. I will

proceed as you suggested.

And this is confidential.

Put together a separate legal team

without telling the company.

Pardon me? Without telling the company?

Hey, all you have to do is

follow me and do as I say!

Yes, sir.

As soon as we get our hands on

Moon Sung Hwan's source code,

we'll apply for a patent

and copyright immediately.

- Yes, sir.

- Now, get out.

Yes, sir.

(Chunha Telecommunications)

(Report on Chunha Telecommunications

Youth Entrepreneurship Program)

It's me, Ms. Han.

("Telecommunication Companies Must

Improve Customer Satisfaction")

Kim Chan Il. He's at

Chunha Telecommunications now,

but he'll lure Moon Sung Hwan

and join Jeil Telecommunications soon.

Once Haha Talk becomes a success,

he will become rich and famous.

(Jeil Telecommunications)

This looks rather unusual.

Hatching an egg

Kim Chan Il was Cho Tae Sub's

underling and spy.

I see.

Right, it will reveal the new world.

Absolutely, sir.

- I'll show you the lab.

- Sounds good.

- Sir.

- You must break out of the egg

to reveal the new world.

Hello?

What?

We're taking everything.

Don't miss anything.

How dare you search my office?

Who is behind this?

I will k*ll you all, jerks.

Who's doing this? Hey, it's you, isn't it?

Everyone called him the hyena

in the business jungle

because of his aggressive,

cutthroat behaviors.

He was a criminal who sold

telecommunications technologies

and top talents to other countries.

Mr. Kim Chan Il.

Let go of him.

I'm Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo.

You will be charged with

obstruction of justice

on top of violating the

Unfair Competition Prevention Act.

Oh, so it's you.

You little jerk. Who do you think you are?

Hey.

Hey, are you confident

that you can handle me?

Yes, of course.

Had I known the truth

behind Haha Talk back then,

- Take him.

- I would've added a few more years.

Kim Chan Il.

This time, I will be faster.

And I will bring you down little by little.

(Choi Kang Jin, He's asking for you.)

Your guest is here.

Hello, sir.

Hey, it's been a while.

Come and have a seat.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Take a seat, Hee Woo.

It's still early,

but they're already drunk.

I just wanted to have

a drink with you guys.

Call me anytime.

I'll come right over no matter where I am.

I'll come right over even if I'm dead.

You little

Was that too much?

Guys, I guess

this was why I wanted to see you.

So what's new?

Kang Jin, you must be relieved

now that you've passed the bar exam.

What's going on with you, Hee Woo?

I'm just studying hard so

I won't let you down, sir.

Good. You can achieve anything

when you do your best.

Did something bad happen?

No, not really.

It's just that there's

nothing good happening.

Hey.

Why is it that I feel like

I keep losing ground?

No way.

You graduated from the institute

at the top of your class.

I need a case.

A big case.

But there's nothing.

How much longer do I have to

deal with petty offenders

who get locked away only

for a few months at a time?

I'm not getting any big cases.

Even Jang Il Hyun was a rookie once.

A big case

(Global Leader, Chunha Telecommunications)

Okay.

I shall prepare a feast for him.

Here.

What is this? "Haha Talk"?

Yes. Min Soo's friend

from med school developed it.

Take a look.

You came all the way here to drop this off?

Yes, I wanted to hear your thoughts on it.

- That's why you're here now?

- Yes.

- There's nothing else?

- No.

Well

When people meet up this late,

it's usually for something personal.

I'm usually studying at this hour.

Right, okay.

(Haha Talk Start-up Summary)

Hey, this person is bound for success.

He's a sort of genius.

You think he's that great?

Yes, that's what I think.

It's still new,

but we'll eventually be using

this thing in many situations.

This could dominate that market.

On second thought, depending on

the speed, it could monopolize it.

I knew she'd see the potential.

Gosh, I was carrying something

tremendous so carelessly.

You were.

But why do you have this?

He applied to Chunha Telecommunications'

project contest.

- Chunha Telecommunication?

- Yes.

I guess they saw the potential too.

He told me he got a direct call

from the CEO's office.

Is that so?

If it's someone who's smart,

their eyes will twinkle

as soon as they see this.

I knew it would be smart to ask you.

All right then, take this

and look over it carefully.

Okay. I want to show this to someone too.

Okay. I'll get going then.

I've been briefed.

It's a project worth taking a big risk for.

Chunha Economics' predictions

have never been wrong. So what about it?

You should take over this project.

It will be very helpful

to your political career.

Not to mention its great foundation

for controlling companies.

Just get to the point.

This here, I'll take it for myself.

Then I will go to Jeil Telecommunications.

I guess Chunha Telecommunications

has been dominating for a while.

There has been no virtue

of ascension overall.

"The more you have, the more you take."

It's Chunha Group's motto.

- Shall I proceed with it?

- Be careful not to cause a scandal.

Yes, sir. I'll take care of it

and make sure there are no issues.

You may leave.

- Yes, sir.

- I'll escort you out.

Haha Talk.

This could be something.

- Try it.

- Gosh, it's tasty.

Thank you.

My gosh, can you believe this is for two?

It's for 2 people but it can feed 5.

It might not be enough for you,

so let me know if you want more.

- Enjoy.

- I'm sorry I'm so late.

You said you had something important.

Why are you already back?

I finished up quickly to come.

I couldn't miss this historic day.

You're what people call "a filial son".

What are you doing?

Don't you see we're busy?

It's packed and it's only the opening day.

This is awesome.

Honey, once these customers leave,

go get some more ingredients.

- We're already out of ingredients?

- Yes.

My gosh. I'm so excited, Hee Woo.

Our Kim family's perfect jjimdak recipe

that almost went to waste

is finally getting the

recognition it deserves.

Are you kidding me?

How is this your family's recipe?

It's my family's recipe that's

been passed down from my grandma.

Listen. Gochujang was dad's,

and soy sauce was mom's recipe.

This is a collaboration that

fused into a wonderful recipe.

We're a remarkable couple.

You married a great guy. Congratulations.

- For meeting a wonderful man.

- Thank you.

- Okay, let's get to work now.

- Excuse me.

Let's work. I'm coming.

- Excuse me.

- Yes.

I'd like to order three more portions.

- Okay. I'll bring it to you.

- Yes, sir.

- Oh, gosh.

- We'd like to order more.

- Just a minute, please.

- Two more orders.

Yes, okay.

I have an early meeting,

so I'll head out first.

Sure.

Me too. I have an early class.

I'll get going then.

I'll see you guys later.

What is it?

I have something to tell you.

Tell me.

I have a huge business item.

Can I tell you about it?

I think our company could

hit the jackpot with this.

Go on.

It's called Haha Talk.

A medical student from my school

made a platform for communications.

It precisely targeted the future

where smartphones will dominate.

You know that this will replace

computers in the future, right?

How will that help our company?

Let me explain.

Countless amounts of data from people

will be gathered through it.

- Okay.

- With that data,

we can analyze consumers' propensities,

and also come up with foolproof strategies.

Don't you think it would

be helpful in many ways?

But apparently, the founder applied to

Chunha Telecommunications

Youth Support Project Contest.

You can't give bonus points

because he's someone you know.

But I'm sure you already know that.

Of course.

I'm telling you because I heard

CEO Kim contacted him first.

I see.

Hold on. He contacted him personally?

I heard they set a date to meet soon.

Gosh.

Who would've known someone this young

was designing a platform like this.

I won't beat around the bush.

Your chances aren't

looking good for the contest.

- Pardon?

- But why do you think

I asked to meet you then, Mr. Moon?

You haven't slept or

eaten properly up to now.

You suffered so much to develop this.

You used up all your development costs now.

It's going to be hard

to hang on any longer.

These are the common difficulties

that start-up developers face.

Which is why

I would like to make an offer.

I'll help so you can get funded

by Jeil Telecommunications.

I'm sorry?

But you're the CEO of

Chunha Telecommunications

That means nothing.

I'm just a salaryman in the end.

Chunha's methods are too outdated.

They don't understand these

new platforms whatsoever.

But Jeil is different.

Mr. Moon. Try to look

at the bigger picture.

Think about the impact

your talent will make.

It won't be about the

interests of a company

or even the country. But you have

the interest of mankind at stake.

If you look at it that way,

the company doesn't matter.

Also, the most important thing now is

that you get steady funding

for your development cost.

I guess you're right.

But

there is a catch.

In return for generously

investing large sums of money,

you will have to share

Haha Talk's development process.

Let's move forward together.

This opportunity won't come again.

What do you say?

Hey, Sung Hwan.

All right then.

Where's the thing I asked for?

Here you go.

Min Soo said to take precautions.

It was smart of you.

I told him I'd think about it first

like you told me to.

But what do I do now?

IPRs.

I mean, intellectual property rights.

You know about it, yes?

Yes.

There are four different types

of intellectual property rights.

Patents, trademarks,

copyrights, and design rights.

These are the four categories.

You have to hurry up and

acquire exclusive rights.

Which is why we have to

focus on patent registration.

If those guys are after Chunha

or Jeil Telecommunications,

or Haha Talk itself,

then they only have two options.

First, they could invest a large

amount of money and manpower

that they have to develop

something similar.

Or they will use any means necessary

to steal yours.

The only way you can stand up

against them is to

face them head on now.

So you try your best to

complete the project.

In the meantime, we'll rush

the patent registration.

Okay.

Okay. Make sure there's no setback

to releasing Smile Talk next month.

Yes, sir.

What about the navigation development case?

We're still negotiating with the developer.

So how long do we have to

wait until its release?

About 4 No, 3 months.

- Get it done by next month.

- But, sir

Hey. It better not be released

later than S Map, you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Next. What's going on with SodaSand?

I got the source from the developer.

I deposited the money

into his wife's account.

You see? Humans have no conscience

or anything when it comes to money.

Why couldn't you get that punk,

Moon Sung Hwan to do the same?

Our product's launch is set

for the end of the month.

It'll be next month for the other guys.

Good job.

Work like this, you stupid punk.

Good grief.

(Law Firm)

This law firm specializes in

lawsuits against Chunha Group.

Don't you know? When it comes to patents,

this law firm is the best in the country.

I know that. But did you have to

choose here out of all places?

Hello, sorry to keep you waiting.

My name is Hwang Sun Ham.

I'm a partner at this law firm.

Hello, sir.

We're law majors at Hankuk University.

My name is Kim Hee Woo.

I'm Lee Min Soo. I'm also a law major.

I see. Then you guys are my juniors.

- Yes.

- Nice to meet you. Take a seat.

All right. So what brings you here?

Well, the thing is

I know someone who developed a program.

And we had a lot of questions

about registering the patent.

A patent? What is it about?

All right. Right here.

It's called Haha Talk.

This program allows users to communicate

with each other by using data.

I see. Is that so?

The CEO of Chunha Telecommunications

also reached out to him.

Is that so?

Look over here. In the future

Really? Is that so?

(Chunha Telecommunications CEO Kim Chan Il)

Thanks, Lawyer Hwang.

I'll treat you to a meal soon.

Sure. Bye. You should hang up first.

Okay.

Seriously. Kids these days

They weren't beaten enough

like in the old days.

Hey, get in here!

Did you want to see me?

Remember the agency that handled

our business without any loose ends?

Kim Hee Woo. You wanted to

go to the law firm because

That's right. I went there

to stir up Kim Chan Il.

When people rush things,

they make mistakes.

You want to use your enemy

instead of avoiding him.

- Right.

- I knew it. What a strategist.

You could even join the military.

Gosh. Why would you say

something so horrible like that?

I can never go back there again.

Not again.

No!

What? What is it? Did you

already do your military service?

No, I should. Gosh.

Stop talking nonsense.

And focus on our project.

Don't take it out on me.

Do you want to get some noodles later?

Noodles, my foot! As if.

A while ago, Hee A told me

something very interesting.

She told me that Haha Talk, the software

a student from her school made,

will change the world.

Is that so? How?

She said through the software program,

we could gather tremendous data

from so many people.

Through the data,

we can come up with a foolproof plan.

Hee A is very bright.

Yes. She's very smart.

But there's something odd about that.

Odd?

I heard he applied for

Chunha Telecommunications' contest.

But the CEO of the company, Kim Chan Il,

personally contacted the developer

when he must be the most impartial one.

I did make him the CEO

because you recommended him.

But he's changed a lot.

I thought he would be useful.

I must have misjudged his potential.

Now that I cleared that with you,

I will get to the point.

Right here, sir.

- Is this true?

- Yes.

This is the evidence

Chunha Telecommunications tried

to steal the software program

of a student who applied

to their contest in a very ill*gal way.

Take a look over here.

You can arrest the people

in the security footage

and question them.

Then you will get a lot

of information from them.

Yes. I see a lot of problems here.

Right. This proves that

the national-scale contest was fabricated.

The CEO, Kim Chan Il.

I can charge him

with a lot of stuff just based on this.

That's right.

Thanks.

An executive at a conglomerate

violated the right of

intellectual property

and instigated felony as*ault.

He instigated corruption in the contest

and tried to commit

industrial espionage too.

Gosh, this is going to be

on everyone's lips.

I should expose the reality of

patent infringement with this.

Then this will be a huge case.

That's right.

You can indeed see the big picture.

I'm sure this kind of stuff

happens a lot at conglomerates.

That's right. Yes.

After getting the public's attention

with Chunha Telecommunications,

we can carry out

a large-scale inspection

of other conglomerates.

- I like the picture I'm painting.

- I knew it.

It was the right move to come to you.

And

I don't know if I should

already be telling you this.

There's more?

I found out when I was

looking into Kim Chan Il.

Apparently, Mr. Kim and

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub

have some sort of connection.

What?

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub

is a standing member

of the Science, ICT, Broadcasting

and Communications Committee

at the National Assembly,

so he could give special favors

to Chunha Telecommunications.

- Is that so?

- Yes.

Assemblyman Cho is connected to this?

I believe Mr. Kim

has been making it very obvious

to his acquaintances.

He's just immature.

I bet this is quite a problem

for Assemblyman Cho.

Hold on.

This is a big fish.

If I can pull this off,

the higher-ups will notice me.

You know, they are very

sensitive about IT-related cases.

Right.

Hey, Hee Woo.

You punk. You're pretty good.

- Thanks.

- Don't mention it.

I just want to be of help

in the path you are on.

That's enough to bring me happiness.

You punk. All right.

You are my real brother now. Okay?

Hey.

Why don't we hang out

with Kang Jin after this case?

I'll take you to a nice place.

Drinks will be on me for the whole night.

Yes, sir. Please give me a call.

It's over. I'll crush them.

Have a great day!

I got it.

- Make sure there's no chatter.

- Yes.

- I'll make no mistakes.

- Okay.

Sir, the deputy chief prosecutor

is on the phone.

- Hey, it's me.

- Sir.

A prosecutor launched an

investigation on Kim Chan Il

for manipulating a contest,

violating intellectual property rights,

and instigating industrial espionage.

I think he might have mentioned

his connection with you too.

I'm aware. I'll take care of it.

This is getting interesting.

Kim g*n Young must've somehow

gotten wind of it.

And next, this information got leaked

to a prosecutor too.

Who's getting in my way?

I'll get ready.

Make sure to do it on the low.

Yes, sir.

Hold on. Why don't you

take care of this, Director Kim?

Yes, sir.

There's too much noise.

In my previous life, Cho Tae Sub

was the one who gained the most

from Haha Talk.

Unless Haha Talk finds a good investor,

Cho Tae Sub could steal

the software anytime.

(Nara Bank)

You woke me up at the crack of dawn.

And you wanted to see me here?

Sir, you hate exercising. Right?

I would rather

read one more page of the paper

if I have time for this.

Gosh. We should exercise together

every morning.

What's gotten into you?

You need to live a long, healthy life

for me to have enough time to repay you

for all of your help.

Get to the point.

I hate it when people beat around the bush.

Sir, you know the money you gave me?

I'm thinking of investing it

in a venture company.

I gave you the money.

Why are you discussing it with me?

But Sir.

Sir!

I got it.

I'm glad you're here.

I was actually going to celebrate.

Celebrate?

Good news is supposed to be shared.

I see. Good news? What is it?

Chunha contacted me.

Chairman Kim g*n Young called me himself.

He apologized to me for what happened.

And he offered to invest in my software.

He said that they were

preparing to set up

an Internet-related company,

Chunha Communications,

which would be different

from a telecommunications company.

I even got rid of Kim Chan Il.

But I still wasn't able

to change the future?

To tell you the truth,

I'm almost done developing it.

Once I get the funding and

hit it big, I'll repay you.

Gosh. But what you did for me

goes beyond just money.

Sure.

Are you going to take his offer?

Yes. It's not a bad deal.

I see.

Well,

I have a question.

- What is it?

- Why did you trust me?

Oh, that? I had three reasons.

For the first reason, just like you said,

Kim Chan Il tried to trick me.

I thought you were a psychic.

Sung Hwan.

Be careful around Kim Chan Il.

If you meet with him,

he will offer you a bad deal

and suggest signing

with Jeil Communications, not Chunha.

You should never accept that deal.

I should listen to psychics.

Right.

You were right about moving here

for the time being.

If I didn't listen to you,

it would have taken months

to restore everything.

What's the second reason?

- Min Soo.

- Min Soo?

Yes. Actually, Min Soo was the one

who came up with the idea for Haha Talk.

A world where people communicate

with their smartphones through data.

Min Soo told me not to tell you.

But it's a fact.

Lee Min Soo. I knew it.

I once said this to Min Soo.

I offered to pay him for the idea

if I were to hit it big.

But he said he didn't need money.

He told me that

he could be the richest man

in the world if he decides to.

He really is a genius.

I brought fried chicken, you punks. Get it.

- Anyway, congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Congratulations.

- Thanks.

Seriously. Fried chicken and beer

make the best pairing.

Right. Can you finish

what you were telling me earlier?

What about the third reason?

I got a text message right

before I met up with Mr. Kim.

Right here. Look.

Something didn't sit right,

so I called back.

A man picked it up, but he said

he never sent me that message.

And

Give me that. What is it?

There were news articles

that had to do with Mr. Kim.

("The Patent w*r,

the Achilles' Heel of Venture Companies")

Who is this? Why

Sir, we should raise your rank now.

You're well past the skills

of a professional first dan.

You are going easy on me.

I learned a lot today as always.

Sir!

Get him out.

Let's stop here today.

Sure. I'll see you next time.

Please help me, sir.

Mr. Kim. You look haggard.

Don't do that. Why don't you have a seat?

Yes, sir.

I play a game of baduk

for two hours every week.

That's the only break I have.

I'm sorry. But I'm in a big predicament.

The game is so close to ending.

But we've been at it for three weeks.

I like the phrase, "A large group

of stones is seldom captured."

There is always a way to overcome a crisis

no matter how big it seems.

- Thank you, sir.

- But if there is

an unsalvageable stone from the start,

I must toss it.

A baduk player must

look at the entire game.

The moment he gets bound

to an unsalvageable stone,

he will risk losing the entire game.

Sir. Please give me one more chance.

Thanks to you,

I just came up with a brilliant move.

It was a preemptive move.

- Sir!

- Director Han.

Escort him out.

Sir. Please give me one more chance.

A dog that betrays its owner once

will do it again the next time.

So I want to make you an offer.

Go ahead.

Toss your lousy dog.

And join me.

Chunha must dominate

the telecommunications industry,

not Jeil.

I hope you can use this chance

to show your support for Chunha.

With more support from you,

I will consider your suggestion

of acquiring Mirae Motors in a good light.

Yes. I will relay the message to him.

Sir. Chairman Kim g*n Young's

secretary just called.

Moon Sung Hwan of Haha Talk

signed the contract with him.

Is that so? That was a bumpy ride.

Chunha is under my control

after clearing the air.

I just need it to end as planned.

Gosh. He went to get more drinks.

What's taking him so long?

It's only been ten minutes

since he left. Be more patient.

Right. Why am I so impatient?

- Hey, turn the TV on now.

- Hey, Sung Hwan.

- The TV?

- Darn it.

What's going on?

We just received the news

that Kim Chan Il,

the CEO of Chunha Telecommunications,

had jumped off a building.

Kim Chan Il threw himself off

the rooftop of a building

in Hoero-gu, Seoul.

- No way.

- The moment his body was found,

- What's this?

- he was moved to Youngil Hospital.

The medical team performed CPR on him.

- But he couldn't be resuscitated.

- Now that he's dead,

this case doesn't have

the right of arraignment.

It's closed.

Cho Tae Sub cut off his tail

perfectly.

(Pluto)

All right.

- Are you here for an assignment?

- Yes.

Learning mythology after reading

law books is a breath of fresh air.

Hey. Are you reading about

Greek and Roman mythology too?

No. Why do you ask?

"Pluto".

That's another name for Hades,

the deity of the underworld.

Hades

Excuse me.

Hey.

- I got him.

- Who?

You know, the cell phone owner

who sent the text to Sung Hwan.

He's a part-timer at a convenience store.

He lent his cell phone

to that anonymous sender.

I'm with the part-timer now. Come over now.

We need to check who it is.

Gosh. I have myself to blame

for lending my cell phone

because of her looks.

Darn it. I knew something

was off with that woman.

- A woman?

- Yes.

Hey, it was a woman.

You heard it, right? It was a woman.

Hold on.

You said she walked in

after the old man who bought

five bottles of makgeolli. Right?

Yes.

Okay.

Hey. Right there.

It's the next one.

- Is this the woman?

- Yes.

That woman

"Pluto".

That's another name for Hades,

the deity of the underworld.

Because I'm back to my life again,

other people's lives are changing.

Bye, Hee Woo.

I noticed that there were a lot of cases.

It's not as simple as that!

Hello. I'm Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo.
