(This drama is fiction

Chairman Kang!

What are you doing?
So what if you're a chairman?

She's a married woman, okay?

Step back.

Calm down, Mr. Jang.

Who are you to tell me to calm down?

Don't do this, honey.

Honey. Why are you stopping me?

You should push him away!



Mr. Jang!

Are you okay?

Don't touch her.

You're telling me not to touch her?

She is my wife.

She's my wife!

As long as you act this way,

you're forbidden from seeing her.

A chairman...

went after my wife
and now you're threatening me?

You're done for.

You'll be buried alive if this gets out!

You're able to shout...

because you're her legal husband.



Should I take this to court, then?

What?

Are you saying you'll get us divorced?

I can't end it with you.

I'm her husband.

What are you doing in my presence!

What are you doing there?

- Come here!
- That's enough!

What?

Who are you? Let go of me!

Let me go!

Let go!

I will keep seeing you.

Okay?

Do you not think of reality?

Your wife knows now. What will you do?

My wife and your husband...

Give me some time.

I'll take care of them gently.

There's a way to sort it out "gently"?

Your wife?

I can control her.

I'll wait.

(Episode 9)

This and this.

You saw him in these, didn't you?

Throw it all out...

and forget all about him.

This.

He gave you this, didn't he?

Return it.

No.

I'll give it back.

So that he never shows up around us again,

I will give him a warning.

He might do worse
if you agitate him further.

Should I sit and do nothing, then?

He said he'd do with you as he pleased!

I won't let that happen.

Have you ever thought that...

your identity might be exposed
if you keep causing trouble?

I can end this
before my identity gets exposed.

There is a rift between
Kang Yoon Kyum and Han So Ra.

So I'll keep pushing forward.

What if he doesn't divorce her?

Do you have a backup plan?

You took a chance
without any contingency plan...

and showed him your hand.

Is there even a strategy left?

I have been having
the same dream for a long time.

I'm wondering around...

an inescapable abyss.

And one...

by one,

I see those who inflicted
pain on me dying...

while suffering from as much pain as I did.

Don't.

Don't come near me!

The revenge I've been waiting for
has been realized.

But for some reason,
the dream turns into a nightmare.

The dream has a horrible ending...

that I can't bear.

(Lawyer Seo Eun Pyeong)

Han So Ra seemed very shocked.

She will take her anger out on you
after her fight with her husband.

I'm already worried about you
meeting her at the kindergarten.

Will you be okay?

If possible,

I want her to be utterly shocked.

- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.

Hello.

Congratulations.

Ms. Han. Congratulations.
I'm so envious of you.

Congratulations on LY getting listed
on the New York Stock Exchange.

LY Group can succeed like this
thanks to your support.

Could I ask you for a speech
as the parent representative?

I could help my husband...

get LY listed on the New York
Stock Exchange with your support.

We plan to throw a grand party soon.

Please look forward to the party.

And I would like to ask you
to continue your support.

Sun Bin.

Say hello to her.

- Hello.
- Hi.

I haven't seen Da Bi for two days.

I haven't seen Ms. Han either.

Sun Bin.

Let's go to the meeting together.

Sure. By the way,

have you heard any news about Ms. Han?

Ms. Han? She's in the conference room now.

Wait.

We have an unwelcome guest at our meeting.

Secretary Kim. Show her out.

Please leave.

Why?

You know how you got on my bad side.

Could you tell me what I did
to get on your bad side?

I thought you were going to explain why.

Oh, my.

How dare you talk back to me?

Have you given it some thought?

Why this is happening to you?

You crazy wench.

She's been rude lately,
so I'm teaching her a lesson.

When we were preparing the event together,

not only was she rude,
but she also talked back to me.

The owner of the company
her husband works for.

That was very rude of you.

Was I?

I didn't know.

I don't want to see her
in class or at events.

Until I decide what I'm going
to do with her officially,

and you show any kindness to her...

or include her in your clique,

I'll consider it an act of defiance to me.

I'm sorry to ruin this good mood.

But tightening the discipline of
my subordinate is important too.

You're still here?

Director Cha.

We must start the meeting.

Lock the door once the woman...

who doesn't deserve to be here leaves.

Please leave.

- Right. Please check this.
- Okay.

And let's go to the next page. Number 102.

I see a typo here. Please fix that.

- Okay.
- Okay.

As for the agendas,

- Are things with Han So Ra...
- check numbers 3 and 4.

going as you planned?

Please check them.

- Sure.
- Okay.

Hey. Sit down.

We ought to have
a heart-to-heart talk at least once.

Don't you agree?

I realized something after
going through the recent event.

That...

you're so naive.

I wouldn't have known
if you didn't tell me...

after having an affair with my husband.

But you must have told me for two reasons.

Either my husband didn't do
what you wanted him to do...

or you wanted to
break me and my husband up.

Is that the conclusion you reached?

He was just satisfying his temporary lust.

Do you think our marriage
will fall apart because of that?

The couple that owns the
number one company in Korea?

Keep going.

More than countless women
tried to seduce my husband.

I mean, no wonder.

They must've wanted to break us up
and take my place.

Is there even something to
break up between you two?

Your husband refused to
make love with you for five years.

You were too obsessed with him
that you spied on him.

You even checked
the eye shadow out of anxiety.

It was all your doing, not someone else's.

Right.

Our long-time conflict sure was a headache.

I thought we needed
something new to make a change.

And you played that role.

He embraced me with heartfelt love,

all night.

I had a wonderful time.

It's true we went through conflicts.

But we took this chance
to stay even more devoted.

After the storm comes the calm, you know.

Why, isn't it the same
for you and your husband?

Don't beat around the bush,

and just say what you want to say.

Guess what I acquired thanks to you.

The shopping mall.

I'm even going to play
a part in management...

as a director with voting rights,

honourably.

My husband admitted to his mistake.

He promised he'd save my face.

And I decided to handle it wisely
for our children's sake.

This is the world of grown ups.

Do you get it?

Now I'll talk about why I called you here.

I can't let you slide, can I?

I bet you were ready for this
before you came at me.

You sure seem like
you can take some punches.

It's going to be quite thrilling.

Honey.

Are you ready?

Of course.

How do I look today?

Gorgeous.

Let those at the Korea Exchange
know that we're taking off.

- Yes, sir.
- Let's go, honey.

(LY Pay's Listing on the
New York Stock Exchange)

(It successfully rebounded
despite the extended variability.)

- Congratulations.
- Please look here.

- Sir.
- Here.

- Right here, please.
- Congratulations.

The ceremony of LY Pay's listing
on the New York Exchange...

was held in the
office of the Korea Exchange.

Its stocks hit the ceiling
right after the listing,

and it's been recording
a new high every day.

The stocks of LY's affiliates
have hit the ceiling as well.

The Korea Exchange has
prepared this ceremony...

in expectation of LY Pay's listing
to bring a win-win result...

with the Korean economy.

The Blue House plans to have a luncheon...

with Chairman Kang and his wife as well.

She doesn't seem at all like someone
who discovered her husband's affair.

Whether they're actually happy
or keeping their marriage for show,

I can't even tell.

Hasn't Chairman Kang
said anything else since then?

Any calls from him?

We better keep in mind that
this may not go as we planned.

I don't think they will get divorced.

(LY Pay's Listing,
Expected to Bring a Win-win Effect)

Considering what she's done to your mother,

I'm worried about you.

Let's try to come up with a countermeasure.

Even if the worst-case
scenario happens to me,

I won't regret anything.

Lee La El was...

long gone from this world anyway.

But there's one thing that bothers me.

Ms. Jang.

The one I call Mother.

If things go south with me,

she will need somebody to lean on.

Please be there for her.

Aren't you worried about yourself?

I'm sorry I'm putting
weight on your shoulders.

No, don't be.

I promised I'd do anything you want.

Get some rest.

And thank you for everything.

La El.

You once asked me
why I was being nice to you.

I didn't want to burden you,

so I didn't let my feelings show.

But I've changed my mind.

I'm going to burden you a little.

No one's going to feel sad
about your disappearance?

How can you have such an idea?

There may be no one,
but you at least have me.

I...

care about you...

more than myself.

I love you.

After I met you again...

and spent time with you,

I realized how much you mean to me.

I wouldn't mind even if you were
with Chairman Kang or Mr. Jang.

I just wish that you're safe.

I want to do anything for you.

That's all I think about.

The world may collapse and
everyone may leave your side,

but I will be there for you.

Mr. Seo.

- I...
- You don't have to answer me.

I just want you to know.

And feel burdened.

Know that there's someone
who loves you this much...

and feel burdened to survive somehow.

I won't be your shadow anymore.

I will do whatever I can...

to help you get your revenge safely...

and to end it as soon as possible.

When you're done with
everything you wanted,

give me your answer to
how I feel about you.

You must never get hurt
in any way until you do.

I will be waiting.

This is Seo Eun Pyeong speaking.

I'll gladly accept your offer...

to be the President's chief secretary.

I finished eating. I'll get my backpack.

Okay.

I'll meet a senior lawyer today.

To discuss what Chairman Kang did.

You'll meet with a lawyer?

Yes.

He used his authority to threaten us.

He's threatening our family
with the power he has over us.

He must pay for it.

Hello?

Ms. Han So Ra?

Yes, ma'am.

I see.

Yes, of course. I'll see you at the office.

Bye.

Ms. Han wants to meet.

In her office.

La El might just get Han So Ra divorced.

Tell Chairman Kang...

that she is Lee Tae Jun's daughter.

As soon as possible.

The economy's struggling
due to the semiconductor industry.

But I'm proud you're doing well.

Thank you. I'm honoured by the invitation.

- Congratulations, Chairman Kang.
- Thanks.

- Well done, So Ra.
- Thanks, Auntie.

Goodness. It's a bad habit. I apologize.

It's fine.

So Ra's mom was my best friend.

She's like a daughter to me.

I'm sure you heard.

Assemblyman Seo will fill
the vacant chief secretary position.

He hasn't been appointed yet,
but he'll join as soon as possible.

My first task is to host the
World Economy Council general meeting.

I must ask for your
assistance in many ways.

I must help, of course.

You attended the same university.
Your teamwork will be impeccable.

I'm so excited.

(Road by Cheongwadae)

Yes. I'm waiting outside Cheongwadae.

Jang Moon Hee was also
an LY Semiconductors victim.

I pulled photos of other victims.
Will you take a look?

Sure.

Yes.

Let's do that.

Head over to GL Hotel.

Yes, sir.

Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum!

- What is it?
- See for yourself.

Who are you?

For a long time,
I've been having the same nightmare.

The dream ends terribly.

Sir.

Why did you ask to see me here?

I'd like you to lead
the group of entrepreneurs...

representing Korea at the meeting.

Such an important position?

If you accept, I'd like to trust
and entrust you with the task.

I brought some papers that
I thought you should see first.

(Global Economy Index)

(Major Nations)

When did you prepare all this?

It's not much, really.

I'm sure you can see
you have much more to do.

You trust me so wholeheartedly.

Your first task as the chief secretary...

I should help as best I can.

Very well.

(Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum)

Sir. I'd like to discuss something.
How about a drink?

Sure.

Yes. Let's do that.

Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum!

- What is it?
- See for yourself.

Sir.

A man passed some
documents to the chairman.

- A document?
- He was about to read it,

but I managed to stop him.

The man's an LY victim too.

Can you think of anything?

Can you give the chairman a call?

I'll see what I can do about the document.

(Kim Sun Bin)

When we met at the kindergarten,

I couldn't show I was pleased to see you.

- Do you understand?
- Yes.

Let's meet soon.

Not where we always meet. Somewhere else.

Where?

There's a hotel around
where my meetings are held.

No one will find it suspicious...

even if you and I
are seen entering the hotel.

You want to meet at a hotel?

He was just satisfying his temporary lust.

Do you think our marriage
will fall apart because of that?

The couple that owns
the number one company in Korea?

I miss you.

Are you drunk?

A bit.

That's why I miss you even more.

You should get home safely.

We'll talk again.

I'm going to reveal my name
to the law firm next week.

It would have been perfect
if we obtained the secret safe.

We can only hope...

they will search the house
once we file the lawsuit.

Once I reveal myself
as the one lodging the lawsuit,

we have to wrap things up here too.

We can't stay here
until our identities get exposed.

Will you...

leave with me?

Give me a bit more time.

Do you still have that dream?

The nightmare where you die?

- Sometimes.
- I always comforted you...

and said that the dream
was different from reality,

and you wouldn't get hurt
since you were strong.

But lately,

I think that there's a reason
behind this nightmare.

That crossed my mind.

It's because you're watering...

poison in your heart.

The poison that can even
take away your life.

Love.

I've seen too many stories...

where a girl ruins everything
and dies because of love.

Love makes people weak.

I've been watching you
since you were 15 years old.

Even if you deny it,

I can see it. And that's what's important.

There might come a day...

when your love burns down
everything we had worked for.

I'll call you soon.

- I'll wait for your call.
- Okay.

See you again.

(La El)

Hey. Luckily, I got the file.

But La El,

I think you should check this yourself.

(Report on Kim Sun Bin)

Kim Sun Bin is the
only daughter of Lee Tae Jun,

the CEO of Gediks Semiconductors.

Her real name is Lee La El.

Chairman Kang, you must know
the real identity of Kim Sun Bin.

There might come a day...

when your love burns down
everything we had worked for.

This person knows everything
about you including your past.

Is it the woman you call...

Mother?

I handed Chairman Kang the file.

Where did you go?

I will soon reveal my identity...

and face this head-on.

I must get my ducks in a row.

Ms. Jang.

It's about my dream.

Actually,

it's not a nightmare...

because I kill the people
I want dead one at a time.

So I fulfilled my wish in that dream.

But you said you died in the end.

I lied.

In that dream, I kill people I want dead...

one at a time.

And I catch the devil...

I must kill last.

The evillest devil.

The devil...

is brutal and horrifying to the point...

that even the deity...

looks away.

And the devil...

was me.

I didn't want to turn
into a monster like them...

even if it was just a dream.

So I lied to you.

I was going to get blood on my hands.

But I wanted to remain as a good person.

Isn't that ironic?

How selfish people can be?

But I came to my senses now.

The real horror...

is not becoming a monster.

It's losing.

We must win this bloody fight first.

Don't you agree?

So...

I will heed the advice you gave me.

Yes.

It's true that I fell for Chairman Kang.

A man and a woman.

It was something I had never experienced.

My mind became numb against my will.

So I was scared.

I agree I don't have a backup plan
other than his lust for me.

How about this?

We're going up against powerful people.

And they outnumber us.

So there were bound to
be numerous variables.

I didn't get to consider it.

I may not be able to deal
with all the variables,

but here.

I can eat their minds away instead.

Kang Yoon Kyum has already
fallen in love with me.

That means I can destroy him ruthlessly.

I can also make them
suspect and kill each other.

Those who made me fall rock bottom.

I will...

I will...

end their lives.

I won't make a mistake, Ms. Jang.

(Dad)

(Director Han So Ra)

These are Chairman Kang's schedule
and his recent call records.

Nothing seems suspicious, ma'am.

(Recent Call Records)

(Director Han So Ra)

(Incoming call)

(Vice-chairman Kim Jung Chul)

So Ra, I tried to appease your father,

but it didn't work.

He left to see you.

Drive. Now!

Hey, So Ra!

(Director Han So Ra)

(Vice-chairman Kim Jung Chul)

Hello.

What did...

my dad say?

The media calls it the In-law's Rebellion,

gabbing about Han Pan Ro
at the losing end and whatever.

And so he's on the edge now.

I cooked up excuses saying
you had cosmetic treatments and were sick,

but you can't avoid him anymore.

You have to face your father.

You got the shopping mall business
and became a director.

Wouldn't things be a little better?

(Financial Statements)

Hey, you wench.

You stupid little tramp.

You idiot.

All you do is stuff yourself and
put makeup on your darn face.

Why couldn't you even
keep your husband in check?

You useless rotten wench.

She needs to get stuck
in the classroom to learn a lesson.

I shouldn't have been easy on her.

Open up the classroom.

So Ra...

Mom...

Dad, I was appointed
to the director position.

I'm in charge of the
shopping mall business too.

I can help you gain shares.

Dad, my husband listens to me these days.

Please trust me...

and wait just a little.

Please, Dad.

Pan Ro, she's put her effort into
making some brilliant results.

You fool!

So what if she makes the effort?

Would it change the fact that
I had a dogfight with my in-law?

It's faster to find a way to teach
Yoon Kyum a lesson than So Ra.

Darn you.

Pan Ro, please calm down.

Ease your anger.

Darn.

So Ra, are you okay?

Are you okay?

(Bo Ram's mom)

We should practice for the performance.

Ladies, please come to the studio tomorrow.

Let those at the Korea Exchange
know that we're taking off.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

I wish I can beat them all up to death.

A cheating punk and broad are
mocking me in broad daylight,

and I couldn't do anything because of Dad.

I wanted to crush them all,

but I kept it all inside to become
the director of a shopping mall.

I can't stand them.

Life is so unfair.

It's driving me crazy.

We saw the surveillance footage
from the kids' backpack incident.

You'd swapped the kids' bags.

How could you do that?

Exactly. I just don't get it.

She wanted to get between us...

to infiltrate the upper class.

This is unbelievable.

I thought better of you.
I'm so disappointed.

The Liyan Foundation held a meeting.

Bo Ram will be expelled from kindergarten.

This dance team is dismissed,

and of course, you're no longer
parent vice-representative.

You're laughing?

You tried too hard.

You didn't have to.

I was going to break up the dance team.

It's no longer of any use.

Don't bother coming back.

By the way,

expelling Bo Ram's a different issue.

It won't be Bo Ram.

It'll be Ms. Han's daughter.

Why do you think she hates me so much?

Don't you want to know?

I'm jealous of you two.

Nothing beats the fun of watching a fight.

Goodbye.

What's with that music you gave me?

Things didn't become
romantic with a lot going on,

but it wasn't so bad.

You've lost your mind.

Do you think so?

Look at that face.

- Ms. Han!
- How dare you?

There are dozens of cameras.

What man would punch a woman?

Play being the bodyguard at home.

You're still here?

What a crazy psycho.

A crazy psycho?

Ms. Han. Don't talk to her.

Let's just go.

What a useless broad.

You're a waste of time.

(Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum)

One,

two,

three.

(Chairman Kang Yoon Kyum)

Why did you hang up?

I miss you a lot.

I called you because I missed you,

then regretted it.

I didn't want to interrupt you.

Shall we meet?

(Bo Ram's mom)

(Bo Ram's mom)

She's out of her mind.

How dare you call her?

Then pass the message.

Han So Ra.

You will never wonder why.

Then that means I am a crazy psycho.

Thanks for the show.

But doesn't being a psycho mean...

you never know what they'll do?

I will...

break into your life
and dig in painfully deep.

You will block me,

and I will break through.

Which of us...

will win?

Did you think everything
would go as you planned?

What you just said...

I'm Han So Ra.

I'm asking you what this is about.

By the way, why didn't you
tell your dad about me?

A vulnerable spot?

Don't make me lose it again.

Having a lot of money
isn't that impressive.

I want to know what you really want.

I don't want to be your secret mistress.

I want to be yours officially.
