(Demolish)
- There's a new owner? - Yes.
I think the new owner is trying to tear it down.
What? How could they tear it down without telling the tenant?
I moved in less than a month ago.
I know.
This new owner won't pick up.
What should I do?
Wait a little.
I'm sure they won't tear it down right away.
I texted you the address. Find out to whom it's registered.
Give me one minute.
Didn't you check before you moved?
Of course, I did.
Then why are you checking again?
(Browse)
Let's see.
- What? - Did you sign with her?
Who?
The owner is Jang Seo Kyung.
Thanks.
I hear Ms. Jang...
brought Ms. Kim with her to Guam.
It's a bit odd since it isn't a business trip.
When is she coming back?
I asked her secretary,
and she didn't book a return flight.
This is the real me.
Seeing you two do this...
is making me think I should be true to myself.
(Yoon Ji Su)
(Demolish)
She was determined when she left.
- "Left"? - I called her office,
and she's abroad on business.
You...
keep doing it your way.
I'll keep doing it my way.
- Jae Hyun... - Can't find out.
Exactly. Jae Hyun can't know,
so I called someone similar to a specialist.
Hey!
Hurry up.
I'm not someone...
who should walk around these rough streets.
It would be much easier if you don't talk.
Why are you doing this to me?
Hi, Dong Jin.
You guys called the wrong guy.
I'm a divorce lawyer.
Call me when you get a divorce. See you later.
I'll make sure to call you when I get a divorce too,
- so let's go in first. - Wait.
Grandpa.
Yes? Come in. Come in.
What? Do you want money?
Can't you stop them?
What?
Mom and Dad getting a divorce.
Why must I do that?
It'll be humiliating if they get a divorce.
It'll be humiliating?
It is humiliating.
You're old enough now, so I'll tell you everything.
Your mom doesn't want this divorce, your dad does.
It's not just a divorce.
They're getting divorced because he found a new woman.
I know the world is in the gutter,
but that's the type of jerk your dad is.
And he's trying to take over...
this company that your grandfather's grandfather started.
He was a penniless nothing,
and I made him a decent human being.
He should kiss my feet for the rest of his life,
but instead, he stabbed me in the back.
But what? Stop the divorce? Why should I?
Let's change your name to Jang Joon Seo.
You don't want to?
Then leave with your dad.
So, you don't need...
a top lawyer like me to tell you...
that what's going on here is completely illegal.
That's hot.
So, Jae Hyun's wife is saying she doesn't care if it's illegal,
she'll compensate you afterward, so get ready for a beat down.
Don't you have something more professional-sounding?
What?
Yes. Sure. Okay.
If she wants to kick out a tenant,
she could file an eviction notice.
But you moved in a month ago.
You don't owe rent and didn't break any law.
So it isn't easy. And it takes a really long time.
Exactly. That's it.
Ji Su.
The first thing they teach you in the college of law is this.
"He who sleeps on his rights cannot be protected."
The person you have reached...
Joon Seo.
Do you want to say something?
No.
I'm just bored since Mom's not around.
Should we do something together?
No.
- Do you want to sleep here? - I don't know.
I haven't slept with my son in so long.
Long time ago, we used to sleep together...
and take baths together.
So what?
This afternoon, a large department store in Seoul has collapsed.
We're going to the department store to get my watch fixed.
Should I pick up their strawberry cake?
(Demolish)
"He who sleeps on his rights cannot be protected."
I know it was hard for you to come all the way here,
but what you're trying to do is illegal.
If you demolish the place illegally,
since this is a place of residence,
you will be prosecuted for destruction of private property.
What is she talking about?
If I hit "Send", they'll rush right over.
I will not take a single step from here.
Move before we drag you out.
The camera's recording you.
Darn it.
What do we do?
(Demolish)
(September 1994)
Do it right.
What?
Yes, there.
Careful.
Nice.
(Trackside Kiddie School)
- "A". "B". - "A".
- "B". - Who knows the answer?
- Me. - Me.
And who is this? This is...
Good job.
(Stop)
I hope this school will last really, really long.
It probably won't last long.
At most two months.
Thanks to you, I have a dream now.
I decided to major in piano because I had been playing it...
since I was a little kid, people said I was talented,
and it made it easier to get into a good college.
But I haven't thought about what to do after graduation.
I want to teach children.
I want to run a piano school like our trackside school...
rather than a typical piano school.
One that gives free lessons to talented children...
who can't afford lessons...
and lets them play. That's what I want.
That's a great idea.
Just knock them down.
(Notice of Demolition)
What happened?
Those mean jerks.
Kids were crying in front of them,
but they threw the desks and chairs.
Jae Hyun, are we going to just take this?
Shall we make gasoline bombs?
Or shall I go out to get some wooden sticks?
Stop it. You'll make things worse.
Aren't you going home?
How can I leave? What if they come back?
There are many kids in the remaining houses.
Weren't you scared?
I would've been scared if I were alone,
but the kids were with me.
And I was their guardian.
I saw red since I knew they were relying on me.
Is that how you felt when you took me to the protests?
It was even harder.
At least the kids listen.
You always talked back to me.
I did? When did I do that?
I always listen to you.
Hand.
Good.
But Ji Su...
Don't come back here, okay?
Why not?
It will become more and more dangerous.
The school is closed anyway, so you don't have to come.
What about you?
I have to come.
Who knows when they'll be back?
Why must I do what you choose for me?
Only the easy and safe things.
Is it because I'm a woman?
But don't women receive unfair or unjust treatment just like men?
Stop!
(12 Gaepo-dong, Yeonhui University)
Wait! Please...
What do we do? That was the last bus.
Should we take a taxi?
I bought food for the kids earlier.
What should we do?
I guess I have no choice. I can't go home tonight.
Any chance you get...
What options do we have?
Hand.
You're tired, aren't you?
Not really.
Let me know if you're tired. I'll give you a piggyback ride.
No. It'll be too tiring for you.
I only make you suffer because I'm poor.
Why do you like me so much?
You have a good heart.
There are so many music students who have a lot of money,
cars, and wear expensive clothes.
Some of them are handsome too.
But there's no one who is as kind as you are.
Not just kind,
but...
touches my heart.
I'm Annie Wilkes from "Misery" who's obsessed with you.
So I know what kind of person you are.
Gosh. I was fooled again.
I thought you were a stalker.
But you're actually a fool.
I really am a fool. A fool for Jae Hyun.
Come here, you fool. I'll give you a piggyback ride.
Because I'm walking with you, I'm not tired at all,
and I'm not scared although it's dark.
Ji Su.
Don't you ever forget that.
That you're not tired or scared of the dark...
when you're with me.
That is why I'm going back...
to the demolition zone tomorrow.
Anyway, it's really pretty here.
I've never seen the Han River like this.
It's super dark.
It's too dark, right?
(Demolish)
Mom.
Hey.
Mom, were you scared?
No. It was fun.
You're lying. Your hands are shaking.
I said I wasn't scared.
Have you quit drinking?
You haven't bought alcohol in a while.
I've decided not to.
My goodness. You've become mature.
I'm glad you did, you wench.
Since I'm living with my child now, I don't drink much.
And I'm too busy cooking to drink.
Why do you look troubled?
Normally, you fix one problem, and another appears.
But for me, once I fixed one, a bunch came at me like zombies.
Zombies really are terrifying.
They bite people.
You're a modern granny. You even know what zombies are.
I've been watching everything...
that kids these days like.
Then how about I move in with you?
I'll do your chores and watch your store.
You can watch TV all day.
- I can't take you in. - Why not?
We have so much booze here.
You would start drinking again once you see it.
The piano will be delivered to your house shortly.
I should go now. Think my offer over.
Hey.
Stop running.
You might fall and crack your head open.
Gosh.
(Demolish)
What?
Did you contact the owner?
Yes, but the owner is...
What about the owner?
It's Ms. Jang.
What? You mean, Seo Kyung?
Yes.
How could this be?
She paid twice the price to purchase the house not long ago.
Did you tell Jae Hyun?
Yes, I did.
They won't come back again.
What did you do?
Mr. Han took care of the matter.
- How? - I'm not sure.
I don't know exactly what he did.
Mr. Han paid the demolition company all the cost...
to stop it.
Stop hiding behind Jae Hyun, and come out.
You're the one who's been hiding.
That's not entirely wrong, so I'll come to you.
Hi, Dong Jin.
Client says to come, I come.
- I'm at your service. - Okay. Good.
- Stop it. I'm sorry. - I'm fine with it.
- It's just because I'm busy. - Of course.
Why did you call me over suddenly?
I need you to submit a petition.
Are you finally crossing the bridge of no return?
Holding on to our marriage won't do Seo Kyung any good.
There won't be a problem...
fighting against Chairman Jang even after a divorce?
It won't affect my plans,
but I will be spoken badly of.
People will call me a scumbag who abandoned his wife and child...
and stabbed his father-in-law in the back.
You've been hearing that all this time.
It's practically your name now.
Why you... Punk.
How did you know my name?
Gosh, you're one crazy punk.
I heard you found out about Ji Su's house problem.
Why didn't you tell me when you found out?
Ji Su threatened, blackmailed, and appeased me.
She did everything to stop me from telling you.
She didn't want you to stress...
because your wife is behind it.
Chairman Jang, the board meeting just ended.
The resolution was...
passed unanimously as we wanted.
It will be announced right after the market closes today.
Why did you both come here to tell me something...
that was a given?
Also, we got a call from the prosecutors.
They want you to visit before noon the day after tomorrow.
We're trying to contact Prosecutor Kim Hak Chul.
We don't need him anymore.
You may leave now.
I said, leave.
Yes, sir.
This country...
is broken.
Mr. Han.
An emergency board meeting was held today.
They voted to increase capital by issuing third-party stock.
It'll be announced soon when the market closes.
Which company did they name?
It's Shinil Asset Management,
but it's not well-known in the finance industry.
Look into that company,
and organize a meeting with our investors.
Understood.
I guess you didn't even come to see the house before buying it.
Of course. I had only one purpose for buying it.
Messing with Yoon Ji Su.
Even if you're the owner, it's illegal to demolish a house...
without prior notification and compensation.
That's why I'm here. To notify you.
This house will be demolished. Are we good now?
The deposit for the house is enough for the compensation, right?
I didn't even have to go to the bank.
I also added a handsome amount for moving expenses.
Aren't you going to take it?
I'll do this by the rules.
The deposit is given on the day the tenant moves out.
Anyway, I notified you and agreed to compensate you.
So move out as soon as possible.
I'll proceed with what I've been doing.
I'll find another house soon, so cancel the demolition, please.
- It's all illegal anyway... - No.
I'll keep harassing you and threatening you.
I'm sorry, but I'll do the same...
when you move to another house.
Until you leave Jae Hyun.
Hi, Ji Su.
Hello. This is Young Min.
Oh, hi, Young Min. What's wrong?
I think...
my mom is very sick.
She took medicine, but the fever won't go down.
She should go to the hospital,
but Auntie Hye Jung won't pick up.
Come with me for a moment.
I'll get better after a good night's sleep.
It's more serious than that.
I know myself better than anyone.
And I can't leave Young Min alone...
Young Min, make sure to lock the door.
You'll be fine, right?
Yes.
Okay.
- Come here. - But...
I'm really fine.
Young Min, lock the door now.
I really don't have to go to a hospital.

(October 1994)
You...
Why did you come to school when you have a fever?
My wish was to study with you at the library.
We barely set up the date.
Feeling unwell...
doesn't matter.
Maybe it's because we walked all night that day.
By the way, where are we going?
To a hospital and then home.
No.
Why you...
We've never studied together at the library before.
But you weren't even studying.
I won't leave.
No, I can't leave.
It's so nice out.
No. You'll catch my cold.
That was the point.
Your fever came down.
It's because I slept well.
Still, stay in bed a while longer.
I want some fresh air.
They say the face is the mirror of the soul.
I can see how hard it must be for you.
Do I look that bad?
Your pretty face looks haggard.
I don't think it's the mirror of my soul.
I'm really happy right now.
The house situation must have been stressful.
Love doesn't put food on the table.
Back when I could barely feed myself to survive,
I thought...
there's no love that can replace food.
But now, I'm not struggling so much...
that I need to worry about feeding myself and have to give up on love.
Love can be my appetizer, entree,
and sweet dessert.
I'm grateful just for that.
I hope you gain a lot of weight.
I don't think so.

We can't live together while we're going through a divorce.

But I don't know how to fight nicely.
I'll bite, roll around in the mud,
scratch, do whatever it takes...
to win.

("Hyungsung Group's Han Jae Hyun Dating a Beautiful Single Mom")
He's here.
Is it true that you're dating a single mom?
Is what the article said true?
How long has the relationship been going?
- Tell us! - Give us a statement!
- Mr. Han! - Wait!
Give us a statement!
("Hyungsung Group's Han Jae Hyun Dating a Beautiful Single Mom")
He stabbed himself in the foot.
I don't like it because I feel like it makes Seo Kyung and me look bad,
but he was a throwaway anyway.
You and Seo Kyung will end up getting sympathy votes...
Why would I get sympathy votes?
That's not what I meant.
Anyway, I want it all over the news that he's unfit to run the company,
and above all else, he has a critical flaw...
in his ethics.
No one will look favorably upon him.
Yes, sir.
I can go by myself.
Dad must have seen the article.
It'll be too hard for you alone.
I'll go explain.
I think that guy is taking our picture.
What are you doing?
You know you illegally took our picture.
What are you... What are you doing?
You took our picture.
If I see this picture anywhere, I'll press charges.
- Mom. The bus is here. - Let's go.
Young Min, wait for me inside.
- Okay. - See you in two days.
I don't care about the article.
It's not like I didn't know.
The problem is,
Young Min shouldn't be in such a dangerous environment.
Young Min and I will take care of it.
I've already been talking to him about it.
What if he said he'll live with me?
What are you talking about?
Do you not know about your son?
Or do you not have the time for him because you're too busy dating?
He said he thinks he'll be an obstacle to your getting married.
So he said he'll let you go...
and live with me.
That can't be.
Just now...
He said it'll be too hard on you since Father just passed away,
and asked me for some time. That's why I had been waiting.
But no longer.
I heard your late father said...
if you choose one thing,
you must give up on another.
I will...
give up on you now.
In exchange,
I plan to take Young Min back as soon as possible.
Young Min isn't home today, right?
I'll stay with you tonight.
What if the demolition guys come again?
I told my husband already.
I get a night of freedom thanks to you.
Our Young Min...
was really pretty when he was little.
Don't get me started.
I still get modeling offers for him.
So?
Will you cry over his pictures every day?
No.
I'll have to talk to Young Min.
If he really wants to live with his dad,
I'll have to accept that.
What?
But I'll tell him not to force himself...
to do something he doesn't want for someone else.
He's smart, so he'll understand.
I can't breathe whenever I'm with you.
Why not?
Because you get me all choked up.
Yoon Ji Su, what will I do with you?
Is this that Chairman Jang thing...
that you mentioned last time?
Yes. It's a method of capital increase...
by issuing new shares to specific third parties,
and not to every shareholder.
They'll probably be issued to people on Chairman Jang's side.
Shinil Asset Management, I mean.
They managed Chairman Jang's slush fund.
So? What's your plan?
He controls the board and has the managing authority.
I can't think of a way.
Mr. Han's ethics being questioned is a problem as well.
Excuse me for a moment.
Hey.
Please check the texts I just sent.
Min Ji, wait inside.
Okay.
You did great.
- Have a nice day. - Okay.
Please have a seat.
We're going to stop the lessons after today.
You paid me a month's lesson fees in advance.
That's fine.
Please consider it a token of our gratitude.
May I ask why?

Don't check your phone for the time being.
Why not?
You should study. I'll hold onto it for you.
But Mom will try to reach me.
I'll give you the phone if she calls.
Go on now.
We'll find the initial source...
and press charges for defamation and violation of portrait rights.
But that video...
may have been initially from Ms. Jang.
I'm sorry to say this, but that's a good thing for us.
It's a bit dirty, but still.

She seems to have much less work though.
But Yoon Ji Su...
isn't the type to run away because things are tough.
No. She seems more resolute than she appears.
However, people like that...
can't stand others being hurt because of them.
Young Min, I'll pick you up around 1pm tomorrow.

He saw the article about you and that video.
He doesn't want to see you for a while.

He doesn't want to talk to you.
I'll call you once he has calmed down.
And I plan to sue...
for custody as soon as possible.
I know Young Min withdrew from school...
because of you and that man.
I'm saying I have more than enough evidence...
to take custody away from you.
Hi.
Are you busy right now?
No, I'm good.
Can we meet?
Right now?
It's about Sun Hee.
Did Mom...
call by any chance?
What?
She must be busy.
Okay.
I considered...
not telling you,
but I thought you should know.
It's not like Sun Hee would tell you.
Did something happen to her?
She was suddenly fired.
Why?
The official reason is that her performance was subpar,
but I hear Jang Seo Kyung personally ordered it.
The person you have called...
I can't answer the phone.
If you have something to say, come to my office tomorrow.
I'm in your company lobby.
Is this Young Min's mother?
Why did you call yesterday?
I won't sit still...
regarding Choi Sun Hee's matter.
- It's clearly illegal... - If that's what this is about,
I have no intention of seeing you.
But weren't there many cashiers...
who were reinstated back then...
in addition to Choi Sun Hee?
Was that Young Min's mom?
She's in my company lobby.
Oh my gosh. She has some nerve.
Don't worry about it. Let's have our tea.
Long time no see.
What do you think you're doing?
What will you do about the school reputation that you ruined?
