One! Two! Three! Four!
Why isn't anyone helping me up?
Why?
Let's give up.
I'm tired.
I'm so tired.
No, I have to live.
I want to live. Someone, please grab me.
Grab onto me! Please grab onto me!
(Episode 2)
How much would this building be worth?
Pardon?
Would anyone accept it in exchange for a life?
Do you know any bathrooms that homeless people go to?
What?
Sorry, but the patients here
need absolute quiet and rest!
You can't conduct any interviews here.
- Kang Jihyeok's room is over there, isn't it? / - Yes.
Well, he'll have to come out at some point.
Let's wait.
He'll come out eventually.
- Yes, Sir. / - How is he?
Okay. Stay with him until I get there.
Take care of the family registry right away.
- But reporters have swarmed in... / - Reporters?
- Hey! It's Kang Jihyeok! / - Where?
Why was the fact that you're
Chairman Kang Seonguk's son kept a secret until now?
Who will success Hyeongseong Group now?
When did you learn that you're Chairman Kang's son?
Does it have anything to do with your accident?
What are you talking about?
- Aren't you Kang Jihyeok? / - Kang Jihyeok?
I'm Kim Jihyeok.
Jihyeok.
Jihyeok.
Thank goodness you're awake.
It's so good to see you, Jihyeok.
Do you remember anything from your childhood?
No.
Not at all.
Let's not rush things.
Once we calm down and get used to each other
we can get closer as father and son, as a family.
You understand what I mean, right?
I have no clue.
Sure, I understand.
You're probably as flustered as I am.
That's why I'm saying that we should take some time.
Get some rest.
What do you do?
You'll find out soon enough.
D-Do I have a mother?
Of course, you do.
Really?
D-Does she know?
Of course.
You should've let me be.
It's such a bother to both of us.
I couldn't do that.
Because you are my child.
Because I'm his child?
What's the point now?
Why was the Financial Supervisory Service
looking into our family registry?
I think the prosecutor requested it.
I think they were investigating illegal gifts.
Why now of all times? Those jerks.
Whatever. This is just formalities
because of the new administration.
Did you look into that matter abroad?
Yes, and we should hear from them soon.
- Will it work? / - It's over 90% possible.
Really?
And overwhelm that man.
Throw money, women, whatever, at him
so he can't even think.
Yes, Sir.
That's the history of Kang Jihyeok's life thus far.
It would've been better not knowing, right?
Why must I learn all this?
He's part of the Hyeongseong family.
Thus, whom you must serve.
Last year, the chairman asked me to
look for him discretely.
I only recently learned of his existence and
because of the accident, I was able to run a DNA test.
That's the result.
I filled it with whatever I thought you'd need for now.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
And here is the key to the car you'll be using for now.
If you don't like it, I'll get you a different one.
Are you scouting me?
Famous teams do anything for players they're scouting.
You got me an amazing place and a fancy car.
No one would scout a son.
I guess they are doing all this because they are rich.
Regardless, it's nice finding my parents.
I get to live in a fancy place like this.
I guess money is good after all.
Bring that brat back and rip out his heart or...
What floor is this?
Oh my gosh.
Thank you.
I keep receiving help from you lately.
I...
Please let me know if you need anything.
Okay.
Wait.
What do you do?
I work for the Hyeongseong main office.
I look after the chairman's family.
Really? So you must see my so-called parents often.
I do.
Then go tell them
that I'm touched beyond measure
for this apartment and car.
Tell them that their son, whom they abandoned for
30 years like garbage, is happy beyond words.
Yes, Sir.
It's raining.
What a gloomy day.
You said to let you know if I need anything, right?
Yes, what do you need?
Another umbrella I can give to a pathetic woman
walking in the rain.
Dongseok.
You'll get up as if nothing happened, right?
I was too scared to even tell you
that I love you.
So please wake up.
I can't live without you.
Look who's here! Jihyeok!
- How's business? / - Good.
Why did you follow me here?
This is my job.
Goodness.
Mom!
- Oh my. / - Mom.
What are you doing? Get away! Gross!
You know how much I've missed you?
- Were you worried about me? / - In your dreams.
Why would I worry about you? I'm busy with my own life.
Are you his mother?
Not in a million years.
He calls every older woman "Mom."
Especially if he wants food.
He must have more than 30 moms in this market alone.
Come on, Mom. Those moms are just moms.
You're my mom.
Stop being gross and get off.
Where have you been?
And who is she?
What happened?
What happened? Something big.
Don't tell me...
You're not even married.
- Sorry? / - Not that! What do you take me for?
And what will she think of me now?
Don't get me wrong. I'm a nice, innocent man.
Auntie! J-Jihyeok...
E-Emperor Jihyeok!
Please forgive my insolence for not recognizing you.
I swear I will dedicate my life to serving you.
What's your problem?
I told you, something big happened.
- What are you talking about? / - Jihyeok here...
- You know Hyeongseong Group, right? / - Yes.
He's the chairman's son. It's all over the news!
- Is that true? / - Nothing's for sure yet.
That's just what they claim.
I have something to show you.
Is the article true, Dad?
What is it? Does he have Mom's genes, too?
Or is he just yours?
Your mom gave birth to him.
Honey.
He came out of your womb, Madam Choi. Did you forget?
I don't believe this.
Thanks, Dad.
You kept it a secret for decades just to surprise me.
Thank you. It's the best surprise present ever.
Surprise!
Why must we lie to Jina, too?
Then you go tell her
that we cracked open a guy's head and made him family
to save our child,
that her parents are pure evil.
Go ahead.
This is like a movie. It's so dramatic.
So that means they've been watching you all this time.
It can't be hard for them to fake it if they wanted.
Why would they fake that you're their son?
All you have is your body.
What would they need that for?
Don't you agree?
If you don't trust them, I'll run a verification.
There's no need to go that far.
I think Daeseop's right. You're being too skeptical.
Be grateful that they looked for a jerk like you.
I said I'm too busy to go tomorrow.
What?
Why are you talking to me that way?
Forget it. I don't need that petty change.
No, don't get me wrong. Bye!
What a complete...
Who is it?
Mr. Kim.
- Mr. Kim from the butcher shop? / - Yes.
I wanted tomorrow off, so he said he won't
pay me for the past month. What a cheapskate.
It's only 1,000 dollars.
Should we just buy that butcher shop?
It should cost like 200,000 to 300,000 dollars.
Should we go on a double date with them?
They'll probably agree to
if you give them a commercial deal.
- Daeseop. / - Yes?
Come here.
We've suffered a lot through the years.
You especially, because of me.
Thank you for appreciating me.
Nonsense.
I know you.
You
need a beating. What did you say? Jerk!
- What did you say? / - Wait!
Clench your teeth!
I'm sorry, Sir.
I must've been drunk and out of my mind.
I'm on my knees right now.
I'll clean up the shop first thing in the morning.
Y-Yes, thank you. Good night.
Happy?
Of course.
You're so mean. Let me benefit from your fortune.
You should enjoy yourself. Aren't you happy?
Your parents that you wanted to meet so badly
are millionaires.
I never wanted to meet them.
Whatever. Of course you did. They're your mom and dad.
I was curious, yes.
I wondered how pathetically
they were living after abandoning their child.
But what? They were fine? And they're millionaires?
I didn't want to meet them, so I'm not as upset.
I'd be losing my mind now, had I wanted to meet them.
Jihyeok!
Come on down!
Your mom and dad aren't coming today!
Come down!
Mom.
Dad.
They called from China. Everything's ready.
Is that so? When can they operate?
They said whenever.
We will send our medical team out there.
We can send them as soon as we put a team together.
Good work. Thank you.
And I thought about that man.
Why don't we send him to another branch?
- Another branch? / - Yes.
Kidnappings and accidents can be rampant abroad.
Okay, do whatever you think is the best.
Yes, Sir.
What is it?
What? Who's where?
That jerk is driving me crazy.
This is a house?
My goodness. What's wrong with my eyes?
You.
Aren't you...
You're Jina?
Nice to meet you!
You're that trash, aren't you?
It's not nice to call someone you meet "trash".
You know what I went through because of you?
I think there must be a misunderstanding.
We just met. Anyway, nice to meet you.
Are you insane? Let go!
I'll report you for sexual assault!
What's going on?
Who is it?
Mom.
You... You...
Hello.
Do you know this jerk?
He's Kang Jihyeok.
Your big brother.
This trash is?
Thank you. I feel so must better now.
Our doctors will go over with him.
The surgery shouldn't be a problem.
Thank you.
And Jihyeok won't bother you anymore, either.
I'll send him abroad.
Abroad?
Oh.
Okay.
So treat him like your real son today
so that he won't suspect anything.
It'll be for the last time.
Fine.
I guess we were meant to find each other.
I can't believe you met like that.
This is outrageous.
This is a lie. I don't believe it for a minute.
Of all people...
We should've called you in sooner
but it was so sudden.
We needed time to prepare ourselves.
So, do you like
the place we got for you?
- Yes. / - If there's anything else you need...
- I'm fine. / - I see.
- I... / - I...
You can go ahead.
Well, I... Yes.
We'd like to do as much as we can for you.
You've suffered so much over the years.
I'd like to send you on a trip abroad.
Why did you abandon me?
- What? / - What?
We didn't abandon you.
We lost you.
Then why did you leave me alone
and claim me now, after all these years?
Yes, I'm curious about that too.
I never knew I had another older sibling.
Why did you keep it from me, too?
Well...
L-Let's do this.
Let's...
Let's keep a distance, rather than forcing emotions.
I think that'd be for the best.
Thank you for the tea.
We didn't want to tell anyone
because we wanted to forget.
Whenever I thought of you,
I felt like my heart was shredding into pieces.
To this day,
not a day has gone by
without thinking about you.
I was afraid something has happened to you.
I just wished that you'd be alive
somehow.
Somehow, that you'd be alive.
I prayed for you every night.
Thank you for being alive.
Really. Thank you so much for being alive.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you for being alive.
Thank you. Thank you for being alive.
What did your parents say?
The person claiming to be my mom
held my hand and cried.
She must've missed you so much.
You felt something when she held your hand, right?
A mom's hand is warm, right?
I don't know.
It's the first time
I ever held a "mom's hand."
You don't need to worry.
The likelihood of success is close to 100% and
there's practically no risk of after-effects.
It's impossibly hard to be a parent.
I'll smile and wait now, Dongseok.
Keep it down, will you?
- It's the golden bell. / - What's a golden bell?
Everyone! Listen up!
Emperor Jihyeok will pay for everyone's drinks
to celebrate finding his parents!
Hurrah!
H-Hey!
Why should I do that?
Your parents are millionaires.
I'm not a millionaire. Those people are.
So that golden bell nonsense is null and void.
- Hey! / - You each pay your own tab.
And don't get the wrong idea from
what you see in the news.
I'm not a millionaire's son.
I'm just a Guchang-dong Market local!
So treat me as you always have.
Okay, cheers!
Sure, if that's what you want.
But you pay for our drinks.
Fine, why not? I'll be nice.
But not for the food. Just the drinks.
- A round of applause! / - Good, good.
Okay! Stop drinking beer, and drink soju!
Who drinks beer nowadays? It's expensive and filling.
Okay! Drink up!
Okay, that's good enough. A round of applause!
You're so stinking cheap!
Same goes for you guys for being happy with that.
Why is everyone so cheap?
Mira! Come on in.
The heir to Hyeongseong Group is treating
to celebrate finding his parents.
But all he's paying for is soju, and not beer.
Isn't that a disgrace to the Hyeongseong Group?
Okay. The company will pay for the drinks
within the limit I'm permitted to use.
- Really? / - Everything they're eating?
Yes, this much is fine.
Hear that? She'll pay for everything!
- Hurrah for Jihyeok! / - Hurrah!
No, no. You're cheering the wrong person.
Jihyeok didn't pay for anything.
Okay, hurrah for Mira! Again! Long live Mira!
- Hurrah for Mira! / - Hurrah!
Hurrah!
Please have a drink with us.
She wouldn't drink soju in a grungy place like this.
Buy a clue.
Sorry, I'll buy you a drink somewhere nice and fancy.
I'll get you r-red wine.
No, I'll take this.
Drink up. Nice.
You drink well!
- Let me pour you one. / - Stop making her drink.
Stop protecting your girl.
- She's not my girl. / - Here.
If you want to date him, you have to take this.
Otherwise, I won't allow it.
Stop that, Uncle.
I'll take just one more shot, while I'm at it.
I like how you think. Let's drink.
And please take good care of our Jihyeok.
I will.
Okay, let's go.
- Are you okay? / - I'm fine.
Let's go, before you get attacked even more.
You're not going anywhere.
She needs to sing for us, first.
Have you lost your mind?
We can't just let her go now, can we?
- No! / - No!
- You, get lost. / - What in the world!
What are you doing?
Mira.
♪ Tonight, I feel like ♪
♪ You will come to me ♪
♪ I don't regret ♪
♪ Leaving you ♪
♪ But the past ♪
♪ Seems like the falling rain ♪
Mira.
Mira, open your eyes.
Is this the place?
Thank you.
Thank you for being alive.
Where do you live? I'll take you home.
I'm fine. Don't worry about me
and take care of yourself.
Me? I'm fine.
Look, Kang Jihyeok.
Let me give you a piece of advice.
Stop being so proud
and take the money and use it.
Do everything you want
buy everything you want and eat everything you want.
Live like that.
Why won't you? Why?
Why won't you use what they tell you to use? Use it.
I never considered that to be my money.
That's why you're an idiot.
Idiot.
What?
Thank you for being alive.
What a nice neighborhood.
What are you doing? Come help me choose.
I've never gone abroad before
so I don't know what's good.
Yes, Sir.
- Why didn't you join a girl group? / - Pardon?
I don't think it's too late.
You can start from scratch as a trainee. You sing well.
What are you talking about?
You don't remember last night?
Not at all. You must've been very drunk last night.
I understand.
At times, I confuse dreams with reality when I'm drunk.
How is this?
Let me know if you need anything else.
No, this is enough.
You said to spend money freely, right?
I should use it here.
You said I was an idiot and that I should spend freely.
Let's go. I'll spend my money freely on you.
I didn't say to spend it on others.
I meant on yourself...
So you do remember.
Why did you lie about not remembering?
Anyway, let's go so I can spend money...
No, please don't.
People drink and make mistakes all the time. Let's go.
I said please stop.
- I was just... / - Sorry, but I'm working right now.
Let's not make each other uncomfortable during work.
Aren't you Kang Jihyeok?
I'm Bae Yeongho of WBS. We met at the hospital.
How about an interview?
- An interview? / - Sorry, we have urgent business.
- I only need a minute. / - Sorry.
Kang Jihyeok!
- What did Chairman Kang Seonguk say? / - Sir.
- What did you talk about? / - No interviews.
What happens to President Kang Dongseok?
I said no interviews!
Mr. Bae!
Isn't it time for you to leave?
Yes, well, I think I've gone as far up as I can.
It would be so easy if someone like you
came to our company.
Please cut to the chase. What do you want me to say?
I'll be honest, since we're friends.
Why do you keep shaking us down?
You know Jang Wontae,
the district attorney of the Eastern Seoul District?
- Very well. / - You owe him, don't you?
When he got kicked out to Busan.
You think I had something to do with his assignment?
He'll become the Attorney General. It's been decided.
Once he takes office
he'll really start shaking things up.
You should be prepared to lose an arm and a leg.
Ta-da.
- Study hard. / - Okay.
Next.
- Thank you. / - You're so cute. How old are you?
- Five years old. / - Five years old?
Here. Study hard.
I want a different one.
Just take what I give you.
I want a robot!
I don't have a robot. Just take this pink pencil case.
Robot!
You brat. Forget it then. I'll give it to someone else.
Okay, next.
Hey! Did you just kick me?
You brat. Don't you look at me like that.
Get over here, jerk.
Get over here!
You're dead when I catch you!
You're in so much trouble. Get over here!
- Let go! / - How dare you copy me when I was little!
- Let go of me! / - You little brat.
Take this! Arm bar!
Sister Mom.
I'll come by often now, I promise.
It's okay. Don't worry about us and just be happy.
Okay. Take care of yourself.
I'll go now. Don't come out. Bye.
Wait a minute.
I kept this in case you wanted to find your parents.
But now that you found them, there's no need.
I think it was in the bag you were holding.
- Did you know too? / - Pardon?
You just did as you were told.
I need to go somewhere, so I'll see you later.
What's going on?
You need to tell me...
Oh my gosh.
What is it?
- Where's Mother's room? / - Mom's out.
Over there?
Hey!
You may be in our family registry,
but we don't consider you family yet, got it?
No, you'll never be a part of our family. You know why?
Because you're trash and... Hey!
Look.
- Do you think we could be siblings? / - Not at all.
Right? You agree.
What's with him?
- Straighten that. / - Yes, Sir.
Yes, Miss Jina?
- Yes, Sir. / - What happened?
Why was Kang Jihyeok causing a scene at the house?
Did he figure it out?
I think he found out something at the orphanage.
Is that so?
Hurry up with what I said to prepare just in case.
First, send a team to the office.
Hello, what brings you here?
Where is the chairman?
We're looking for him as well. I think he's out.
You can't reach him on his phone?
We haven't been able to.
He may be in the middle of an important meeting.
What is it about?
- I need to check something. / - Tell me instead.
I'll check it for you when I see him.
No.
I need to talk to him myself.
I'll wait.
Did he hurt your feelings?
I've been serving him and his family for a while now
and there's something I realized.
They are cautious with all people.
Imagine yourself walking out of a bank
carrying a bag full of cash.
You'd suspect everyone walking by,
even family.
No, you'd suspect family even more.
The closer they are,
the easier it is for them to stab you in the back.
You can't expect
a normal family's affections from them.
Is that right?
Then why did they fake a blood-relation?
I don't know what you mean.
You seem to know
the most about this family.
Then you must know
what they're thinking.
You must be mistaken about something
but you are a blood-relative of the Kang family.
There's only one reason a stranger would be nice to
a stray dog passing by.
To eat it.
So what must the dog do to survive?
It must bite and attack.
So!
- What do they want? / - You're mistaken.
Do you know whom I can't forgive the most in the world?
People who manipulate me using my parents!
That's not true. Please believe me.
I guess your job is more valuable than your life.
Tell me where the chairman is.
I'll settle things with him.
I'm not nice enough
to miss twice.
He's in the Crystal Ballroom in the Vintage Hotel.
- Is the chairman inside? / - No, but Mr. Do Sangho...
He's heading down.
There is no need to weigh the options now.
Just get rid of him.
Don't go.
Don't go, please.
I have to see for myself
who I am, and what my true identity is.
Yes, Sir.
Move!
- Dad. / - Hey.
What are you wearing?
That jerk caused a scene at home earlier.
- Who? / - Who else? Your oldest son.
Let's talk later.
He's a fake, isn't he?
- Hello Chairman Cha. / - Hello.
It's me. You can't let him in.
Stop him, even if you have to use force.
- What do you plan to do in there? / - I have no idea.
Hyeongseong Group has stood for 48 years.
In my opinion, its power stems from people.
A leader with proper management philosophy
and the loyal Hyeongseong family which follows him.
We will grow stronger for another 48 years, no,
much longer, to remain a big tree in our economy.
The Hyeongseong family and I, along with
everyone supporting Hyeongseong from behind the scenes
will join forces to effectuate Hyeonseong's ideology
of making the world a humane place.
We will spread this ideology to the world.
Chairman Kang Seonguk
please tell me the truth.
Am I
really your son?
I'd like to introduce the new future of Hyeongseong.
He's the new leader of one of Hyeongseong Group's
representative businesses, Hyeongseong Distributions.
I present to you President Kang Jihyeok.
I promise to follow Chairman Kang Seonguk's wishes
to humbly bring about a new renaissance
in Hyeongseong Distributions.
President Kang Jihyeok.
We know nothing about him.
Fighting is about getting in the first blow.
One punch and his teeth will fall.
They are silent rebellions against your orders.
To make me suffer?
Is that trash really my brother?
I guess only the final scene remains.
We will bury Hyeongseong Distributions.
A person has died.
What did you say?
Kill them all!
This is our company!
