Ga-eun, please rethink this.
If you do this, I'll never be able to face your father.
How do you expect me to face him?
Mom, can't you try to understand? I need to marry him.
Why? Why must you marry him?
He played a part in your father's ruin.
That's all the more reason why.
What? Ga-eun...
I'll do whatever it takes to have revenge
on the people who killed my father and my brother.
I can do things much worse than marrying Chairman Maeng.
There's nothing I can't do.
You poor, confused thing.
Think of your life, please.
How can you ruin yourself to have revenge?
What about Jae-bum?
He loves and cares for you so much.
Love is nothing to me.
My mistake was that I tried to take that love and be happy.
What is the point of being happy
if I've forgotten Dad's death and let my brother die in a cold prison cell?
If I hadn't married Park Jung-woo, neither Dad nor Sung-eun would be dead.
What's the point of blaming yourself?
And your conclusion is to marry Chairman Maeng? I won't allow it.
You might have forgotten already, but I'll never forget
that my brother was framed and ended up dying in a prison cell.
I'm so furious that I'll do anything to appease his spirit.
So don't try to stop me.
You foolish girl.
Your father will beat his chest in despair.
Think of how Sung-eun ended up at the orphanage,deprived of a good life.
Then he went to prison in Park Jung-woo's place, only to die there.
If Kim Mi-ran hadn't gotten him lost as a child, he would've never died.
So how can I forget everything and be happy?
I can't. I won't.
But what's the point of jumping into the fire yourself?
- Do you want to die? - I don't care if I do.
Ga-eun.
I'm not afraid of death if it means I can avenge my family.
I won't stand for it. I can't.
I won't let you marry into that family.
I'd rather die. Not before I'm dead.
Did you contact human resources?
Good.
She's familiar with Dream Star so she'll adjust in no time.
And have Director Ha transferred to the head office immediately.
What?
Yoo Ga-eun is the woman that Jae-bum loves?
Yes.
- How could this happen? - I know, right?
I'm so upset.
So that's why he moved out.
Did you hear? We're getting a new director.
What are you talking about?
I heard at the head office that Director Ha is being transferred there.
And we're getting a new director.
Is that true?
Yes, it's been decided.
So Ha Jae-bum is leaving Dream Star?
Honey, I have good news.
What? Director Ha is being transferred to the head office?
Great.
And we didn't have to do anything. This is great news.
The problem is, who's gonna fill his shoes?
Anyone's better than Director Ha, right?
Alright, I'll be home early.
Kim, you didn't know about this?
- I didn't. - So this is your limit, is it?
How could you not know about Director Ha's transfer?
Find out who's taking his place.
Yes, sir.
Ha Jae-bum is gone, eh?
Things are working out better than planned.
But who's the replacement?
That one. And this one, too.
Yes, sir.
Oh, and this.
This one. That one.
And this one, too.
Yes, sir.
I ordered a special diamond for the engagement ring.
These will do for now.
You don't have to do this.
My soon-to-be wife should have good jewelry.
Enough. Wrap it up.
What's wrong? You don't like them?
You'll be accompanying me to many social functions.
Accept them for my sake.
I understand.
Let's put that one on right now.
Will you accept this now?
Where the hell did you go? Talk to me, Jae-bum.
- I have nothing to say. - I heard some.
But what will moving out solve?
I'm on your side. I don't want my father with Ga-eun.
Did you hear about your transfer to the head office?
What?
It was just made official.
He went through with that when I refused?
If you want to change his mind, you have to stay home and fight.
Move back in. I'll fight with you.
Where are you going?
You'll move back in, won't you?
I'm staying at Dream Star. I'm not going to the head office.
Don't react so emotionally. This is business.
If this is just business, how can you transfer me on a whim?
As the company's owner, I'm placing you where you'll do best.
And you'll make Ga-eun the new director of Dream Star?
You're gonna fuel her revenge?
Listen, kid. I'm just doing what she wants.
Then why didn't you help out Chairman Yoo when he asked?
You think you have a right to love her after you helped ruin her father?
We're no longer discussing this.
Uncle!
Why are you clinging to her so persistently?
She's the first person I've truly loved with an open heart.
You know all too well.
She's the first woman I've ever wanted to marry.
Jae-bum!
Why can't you see that she doesn't love you?
I said, end of discussion.
She already rejected your feelings.
You should accept it and let her go.
Please, Uncle.
If you pity her at all, please stop here.
If I pity her?
Can't you see that my feelings are sincere?
Uncle...
You asked how I can love her after helping to ruin Sun Apparel?
That's all the more reason I'm helping her.
Because I feel indebted to her and her family.
Uncle.
I know she doesn't love me now, but she'll love me over time.
Don't worry, I'm sure I can make her happy.
Uncle, why can't you see that you're being possessive?
You're excused.
Jae-bum, why don't you come back home? Please?
Jae-bum!
Can't you see that my feelings are sincere?
Director Ha, Director Kang is asking for you.
What is it?
You have a business trip to China before the transfer.
A business trip?
There's a strike at the factory in Guangzhou.
What?
Seems it's serious with people getting hurt.
Our people are trying to negotiate but it isn't working out.
I think you need to go.
Hello, Director Kang. Yes, I'm head right up.
KIM MI-RAN
What do you want?
I have something to say. And I have to give you something.
Let's meet up.
Fine.
What is it you want to say?
Why so cold, huh?
I just want your congratulations.
Congratulations?
I'm pregnant.
I wanted to call you earlier but couldn't after hearing about Sung-eun.
Friend, can I get your congratulations?
Jung-woo is so thrilled. And his mother treats me like royalty.
She keeps telling me to give her a grandson.
Congratulations, Ran.
You mean it?
I thought you'd be furious.
Why would I be?
Since I can't have any children, I'm glad you can give Na-ri a sibling.
I'm a bit surprised at your calm reaction.
This is surprising? There are more surprises coming up.
Surprises?
I'm sure more happy ones than not are waiting for me.
We won't know that until the time comes.
What are you implying?
Looks like you're planning something because of Sung-eun's death,
but don't get hung up on the past.
I plan to think only good thoughts for the sake of my baby.
Take this.
What is it?
It's condolence money.
I thought about dropping by the wake but I knew I wouldn't be welcomed.
I should show some kind of gesture.
Gesture?
How was the wake?
Things must be really *** you.
You should ask Director Ha to comfort you.
Or maybe he'll be too busy to do that.
- You heard, I'm sure. - About his transfer to the head office?
There's that and the fact that he has an urgent business trip to China.
Seems he won't have time for an unskilled designer like you.
I'm sure you're real disappointed.
I better get going. Jung-woo is waiting for me.
Take care. Call if you need anything.
I'll do whatever I can do help.
Enjoy the happiness for now.
It'll only make worse the hell that's coming.
It's an emergency.
If the strike drags on, Dream Star will be put on hold.
You're the only one who can take care of this.
Jae-bum, what did he say? You have to go to China?
Yeah. Things are too serious there.
I already booked my flight and I have to go to the airport now.
So soon?
Don't think of anything else. Just stay safe.
I'll work on Father in the meanwhile.
Stay strong, Jae-bum.
Director Ha just left for China?
Okay.
He'll get things done in a timely manner.
Director Kang, call him often and take care of him.
Okay.
I'm sure he'll get a hold of himself if he spends some time apart.
Director Ha's successor hasn't been decided yet?
Yes, apparently Dream will leave it unoccupied for the time being.
There's no way they'll do that. How strange.
CHAIRMAN MAENG
Hello, Chairman Maeng.
To what do I owe the pleasure of your call?
Are you free this weekend?
Yes, sir.
I want to invite you to my engagement party.
Excuse me? Engagement party?
I want to extend the invite to Julia. I hope to see you both there.
Of course, sir. We'll be there.
Alright, I'll have my secretary give you the details.
Congratulations, sir. May I ask who the woman is...?
You'll find out when you come.
Chairman Maeng is getting engaged? He's still got game.
He's going to get married?
Isn't he the chairman of Dream?
He's getting married again at his age. Then again, he has a ton of money.
Bro, why do you sound so envious? Guys are all the same.
Don't be ridiculous.
Have you heard about his fiance? What's she like?
I have no clue. This is all news to me.
Even the media is quiet about this. Is she just a normal woman?
It's totally a Cinderella story if she is.
He has dept. stores, homeshopping, hotels, marts and a fashion business.
She'll be the wife of the man who owns it all.
I wonder who's the woman that captured his heart.
Bo-peep bo-peep. Is that right, Na-ri?
- Bo-peep bo-peep bo-peep. - Baby, you're good at this.
Not like that. Like this.
- Ah, make fists? - Like this?
What the...?
No, not like that. This is tiring.
Na-ri, how about we show you the kind of dance we like?
Baby, shall we give it a swirl?
Ma'am, will you please take my hand?
Shall I or not? Yay or nay?
Look at these fools. What are you doing?
Showing a child how to be a ***?
Ma'am, that's... Na-ri wanted to see a new dance.
Now you use Na-ri as an excuse to do your R-rated behavior?
How can we raise Na-ri right like this? You'll ruin her for good.
Don't even blame us. You got quite the dirty mouth yourself.
Let me be frank. How can you call me a fool?
Someday Na-ri will get married and call her in-law a fool.
How dare you raise your voice!
I have nothing to fear now. Mi-ran will have a bouncing baby boy.
Still got something to say?
Mister Cho, your hand.
Huh? Okay.
Turn, turn.
Goodness, there's no end.
Ah, I had a sudden thought.
What?
Do you think Director Ha's transfer is related to the chairman's engagement?
What do you mean?
It doesn't feel right the way Director Ha was suddenly transferred.
Maybe the new director is Chairman Maeng's fiance.
That could be possible.
Then she's probably very capable in either fashion or business.
We gotta work on her so the chairman will be putty in our hands.
Right, honey?
It won't hurt to suck up a little.
What should we buy for the engagement gift?
Choose carefully.
Something striking so you'll leave a lasting impression on his fiance.
Alright.
I'll make sure she remembers my face after the engagement party.
Leave it to me, Jung-woo.
Still no word on who's taking over the director seat?
None.
I thought something would come up today for sure.
Tomorrow's the engagement, right?
Yes.
I better ask around at the party.
Are you still buying clothes from the Dream Star stores?
Yes, it's going fine. But how long do we keep it up?
The real sales will pick up soon.
We have no choice but to deal with a little loss until then.
I hear Dream Star's latest season is doing very well.
Yes, it's selling much more than anticipated.
Apparently Julia's designs are doing particularly well.
She's finally doing her money's worth.
Why the smile?
I didn't think you'd take well to the news that her clothes are a hit.
I have nothing against Dream Star doing well in the market.
Said like a true director of Dream Star.
What will you do if there's another reason why her clothes are selling so well?
Well, it depends on how that reason affects Dream.
If it doesn't cause losses to Dream, you'll accept it no matter how corrupt?
I told you. I'm a businessman.
I base my decisions on profit and loss.
I see.
How's your mother doing?
Still the same.
That's no good.
Will we be able to get engaged tomorrow?
I wanted her blessing, but I guess it can't be helped.
She'll be at our wedding with her blessing for sure.
Alright. Thank you for the reassurance.
Mom, I'm going in.
Please eat some porridge.
No, thanks.
Mom.
No matter what you do, I won't change my mind.
So please get up and eat something.
Go ahead and get engaged or married to that old man.
It's tomorrow? Go ahead.
We'll just end our relationship here.
Mom.
You and I aren't related by blood, so there will be no heartrending here.
We started off as strangers. We'll just go back to that.
At least then I won't have to call that old man my son-in-law.
I understand that it's hard for you to accept.
But this is the path that I chose.
Are you the Sim Cheong of fairytales? Sacrificing yourself for your family?
I can't do that. I can't, Ga-eun.
This is not right, Ga-eun.
Please, you can change your mind. It's not too late.
You don't have to come tomorrow.
I'll leave this here. Please eat it before it gets cold.
That stubborn girl.
Dear! Ga-eun's father!
Please stop her. Do something.
Oh, Ga-eun's father...
Father, it is true you're getting engaged tomorrow?
Yes. I want you there.
Father!
How can you get engaged while Jae-bum is in China?
You treated him more like a son than me. How could you do this to him?
It won't be good for him to see this. It'll only hurt him.
I never once spoke against you and your women.
But please reconsider this time.
I gave this more thought than ever before.
So no more arguments from you.
Mom, I'm leaving.
I wish you'd come, but I won't keep my hopes up.
In the least, trust me and my decision.
Ga-eun, rethink it one more time. This isn't the way to go.
This is a dead end. A cliff.
Why can't you see that?
I'm going even if it means I'm walking off a cliff.
I won't fall off alone. I'll take Jung-woo and Mi-ran with me.
Ga-eun, I can't believe you.
I'm leaving.
Sorry, Mom.
What will I do with her? That poor, poor thing.
Sis, you're really going? You're getting engaged?
I am.
Even when Mom's laid up like this?
It's not too late. Cancel the engagement, Sis.
I'm sorry, Young-eun.
Sis!
Aren't you ready yet? We have to leave now to be on time.
I'm done. Jung-woo, how do I look?
Good.
We're running late. Let's go already.
The fiance is probably real fancy and stylish.er.
I don't want to lose to her.
Try to get as close to the fiance as you can.
It'll be good to find out anything about her background.
Gotcha.
The happy couple will now enter.
Please greet them with a round of applause.
Why is Yoo Ga-eun up there?
Chairman Maeng's fiance is Ga-eun?
Impossible. This is impossible.
I sincerely thank everyone for joining us today.
I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce my future wife.
This is surprising? There are more surprises coming up.
Did she seduce Chairman Maeng to have revenge on me?
Impossible.
This can't be happening.
