No…
Seong-tae…
Go get Seong-tae.
I'm leaving Hyowon.
It won't be easy.
I'm not leaving because it's the easy way out.
I'm leaving no matter what.
For Ha-joon
and me.
I want us to leave without getting hurt.
I'll help you do that by your side.
Don't forget that I'm on your side.
I'll help you…
do whatever you want to.
I will take Ha-joon with me…
and find a way to get over the high wall…
surrounding this place.
I will tell you…
how…
you can do that.
EPISODE 8 HOW AN ELEPHANT GETS THROUGH A DOOR
What is it?
You don't want to let go of the position?
What did you say, you jerk?
Did you use me as leverage, so you can take my place?
Why did you let me become the president to begin with?
Answer my questions.
You shouldn't have wasted your chance.
Father trained you with the best education and prepared you early on to take over.
He pushed you harder when I was born…
in case I was more capable than you.
Because he really didn't want that.
That's why he made me go to college in Korea.
I went to law school because of him too.
Though I did study in England out of my own will after graduating.
What the hell are you talking about?
You know how he favored you over me.
How so?
Have you ever been scolded by him?
He always complimented you. He did nothing but encourage you.
He always beat me up out of frustration and compared me to you.
Did you know…
I envied you whenever you got scolded?
What?
I wanted nothing but to get scolded by Father just once.
You might not understand,
but being able to do whatever you want in life
is a privilege.
Not everyone gets to rebel against or cross their parents.
Kids who think their parents might leave them can't get in trouble.
Why?
They're scared of losing any affection their parents might have.
Gosh.
In any case, answer me.
Why did you let me become the president?
I thought I should at least give you a chance.
Father wouldn't want me to become the president
while he's lying in the hospital.
That…
would be disrespectful to the man who raised me.
-What? -The board members told me
that you shouldn't be the president.
They said your back is too weak to carry the weight of the company.
When Father wakes up, he will have to accept that.
I gave you a chance to tell me the truth.
Why are you lying to me?
I heard you made me the president…
in exchange for bringing in Ha-joon's birth mother.
Mother never keeps her promises.
She wasn't supposed to tell anyone.
If that was the deal, you shouldn't bring me down.
You shouldn't oust me now.
You broke your promise first.
I kept my end of the bargain with Mother.
Keeping that position is up to you and Mother.
And you're the one who failed.
Does your wife know?
Does she know that you deliberately brought in Ha-joon's birth mother?
If you oust me from my position,
I'll tell your wife, you bastard.
This is why you will never succeed.
Do you think she'll believe what you say? You of all people?
She'll only think that you made it up because
you were livid about losing your position to me.
That's the reputation you've built.
No one finds you trustworthy.
Now, you lost me too.
That's no way to treat your brother.
I…
don't want to get ousted.
Is that so?
You want to keep your seat?
Then…
kill me.
Do you think Jin-ho can keep his position as president?
-What? -You've been completely fooled.
What…
Does Hi-soo know about this? Did you tell her?
Yes.
Ji-yong cannot find out that you were the one who told Hi-soo
the truth.
Of course not.
But he's bound to find out.
Hi-soo won't let it slide.
If you were worried about that, how could you tell her that?
And she's with child!
She barged in and demanded the truth. What could I do?
Mother.
You need to learn to hold your tongue.
And you should read a textbook on ethics for middle schoolers
if you have nothing better to do.
Hey, how could you be so mean?
What should I do?
Mr. Kim?
Where have you been?
Seong-tae.
You didn't see or hear anything today.
Okay?
Yes, ma'am.
I had an errand to run.
What errand needs you to take Ms. Seo's car?
Did you get her permission?
Of course.
This…
-You can go now. -Okay.
You want to keep your seat?
Then, kill me.
When you signed your labor contract with us,
did you read the contract carefully?
Pardon? No.
I mean, yes.
You're forbidden from telling anyone
about anything that happens in the mansion.
You know it's in the contract, right?
Yes, ma'am.
"As authoritative interpretations cannot be made for events in the mansion,
you cannot interpret the events yourself."
That's the exact term.
Read that clause one more time before you go to sleep.
Understood?
Yes, ma'am.
I know it's hard to be the only guy in a group of women.
Thank you.
You can go.
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Seo.
You have to eat something.
Do you have any cravings?
My baby is gone…
but why do I still crave Jonathan apples?
I thought
they were what my baby craved.
I guess it was just me.
Yu-yeon.
Can you go home and look after Ha-joon?
Yes, ma'am.
I'll look after him.
And I'll bring some cosmetics and other necessities for you.
Thanks.
I'll get going then.
It's me. Please take good care of my sister-in-law.
I'm sure you know why I brought her to you.
Of course.
And doctor,
I want to increase my donation to the pediatric ward.
Let's discuss it in person.
Okay.
MY LOVE
Ji-yong.
You shouldn't have been born.
I will take Ha-joon with me…
and find a way to get over the high wall surrounding this place.
It won't be easy.
They'll all try to stop you from getting what you want.
Where is Hi-soo? I don't see her.
She went to her mother's house.
Her mother is in San Francisco at my brother-in-law's place.
She went to her mother's house when no one is there?
Her morning sickness is severe.
And staying here is hard for her.
Why don't you leave her alone for a while?
She's in the early stage of pregnancy.
With all the hormonal changes, she's quite sensitive.
So everyone started to tell lies.
They started to lie not for themselves,
but for others.
And these lies began to grow.
Yu-yeon.
Are you going home now, Soo-young?
I can't reach Hi-soo. Do you know where she is?
This has never happened with her.
And she's pregnant so I'm worried.
Ms. Kim.
She didn't tell me…
or Soo-young.
She only told you before she left?
Do you expect me to believe that?
She discussed it with me.
If you find out, Ha-joon will too.
She wanted to go quietly,
so I let her.
Without telling me?
Put yourself in her shoes.
If you were Hi-soo,
would you have told yourself?
We're not alone here. This is enough.
Go your way. The lights will be turned off soon.
Wait until Hi-soo makes her decision.
Don't even think about doing anything.
Be quiet as the dead.
I guess you're not scared of me.
If you keep provoking me,
I don't know what I'll do.
I'm not scared. Take your best shot.
"You cannot tell anyone about anything that happens.
As authoritative interpretations cannot be made for events in the mansion,
you cannot interpret the events yourself.
If you disclose any information,
you are to return all of…"
Oh, my God!
What are you doing?
The contract…
I know everything.
-What do you mean? -What you did.
-Pardon? -You sure dream big.
You stole the blue diamond.
Don't worry. I won't report it to the police.
-It's a hassle. -I'm so sorry, sir.
-Do you mean that? -Yes.
Aren't you at Rubato now?
Yes.
Then,
watch Ji-yong's every move and report back to me.
-Pardon? -Why do you look so surprised?
"You cannot tell anyone about anything that happens.
As authoritative interpretations cannot be made for events in the mansion,
you cannot interpret the events yourself."
That's what it says in my contract.
Are you telling me to violate the clause?
I'm not just anyone.
Based on my authoritative interpretation,
Mr. Han Ji-yong might consider you as such.
You're so smart.
You're quite smart for a thief.
Does it say in your contract that you should steal diamonds?
Of course not.
But you stole one.
Don't bullshit me with the contract.
Watch his every move and keep me updated.
Go through the drawers in his study also. And if you find anything,
I'll give you a big reward.
Understood?
And it's a secret between us.
Another secret?
I love this place.
I should come here often.
When I call you, this will be our spot.
Yes, sir.
-You should give me my clothes first. -Right.
You think you're the control tower of this family, don't you?
So you think you know everything that's going on in this family, right?
Well, is that really true?
Get to the point before the tea gets cold.
Don't be too shocked.
Ha-joon's birth mother…
She's not dead. She's alive.
Isn't this shocking?
Do you know where she is?
-I do. -You do?
Why didn't you tell me, then?
You don't even know the things that you should be aware of.
Why must I tell you about that?
Compared to Ji-yong,
I'm very innocent. I'm an open book.
Can you change your mind about me?
How could he deceive us for all these years?
You're not keeping a shocking secret like that from me, are you?
Are you having…
an affair?
What am I thinking? Of course, you're not.
MY LOVE, HAN JI-YONG 7 MISSED CALLS
Say hello to Grandma.
Please drop him off at school. I'll pick him up later.
-Okay. Let's go. -Bye.
Gosh. You look great in purple.
You didn't
tell Hi-soo anything, did you?
Gosh. Why would I tell her anything?
But you're not keeping your promise.
What promise?
You promised to help Jin-ho
become the president if I stayed silent.
I kept my silence, so how could you
not make good on your promise?
I made such a promise to you?
I came here and told you that day
that I didn't want the position, so I'd support Jin-ho.
So you thanked me for my support.
I want to make you happy as best I can.
But that's what the board decided. What could I do?
Ji-yong.
What on earth are you talking about?
You can't do this to me.
You were the one who told us that she was dead when she was alive.
But she came back,
and the fact that she was alive and around us must've made you anxious
because she'd expose your lies.
So you wanted to keep it a secret from Hi-soo.
Mother.
The past has no power.
But this is different.
-What… -Why did you do it?
You didn't have to do that to Hye-jin.
Goodness. You…
You were the one who wanted to tell everyone she was dead. It was you!
Mother!
-Are you unwell? -What?
Let's get you tested for dementia. I'll talk to Dr. Kim today.
My goodness. What are you talking about?
How could you do this to me?
Ji-yong!
Hey! You're unbelievable.
You… Oh, my. I don't believe this.
You!
Why are you doing this?
Goodness. Unbelievable.
I'll get engaged.
Let's have the ceremony before I change my mind.
We should meet her family.
That's what engaged people do.
Go through the drawers in his study also. And if you find anything,
I'll give you a big reward.
PHOTOS
Hi.
I heard Hi-soo comes to see you at this hour.
I came because I thought you would be available.
Okay. What is it about?
It's about Hi-soo. Could you please come with me?
She won't answer it.
She'll probably want to be alone.
I think we should…
leave her alone.
Her morning sickness is severe.
And staying here is hard for her.
Would you have told yourself?
Don't even think about doing anything.
Be quiet as the dead.
MY LOVE
HA-JOON'S TUTOR
The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.
Please leave a message after the beep.
You can go now. I want to be alone.
It's a meeting between families so there isn't much to prepare.
Only close family members will be invited.
So just schedule it as soon as possible.
Okay.
Ma'am, the guests have arrived. Should I escort them in?
Yes.
DIRECTOR JUNG SEO-HYUN
Come on!
He has his own fancy private bathroom.
Why is he using the public one?
Exactly. It's our day to use the bath.
Gosh. He's been in there way too long.
But why is Seong-tae in there with him?
What are they doing together in the bath? Gosh.
So did you find anything?
Poor thing.
What's up with the suspense? This better be good,
or you'll get an earful from me.
This is ridiculous.
-Tell me already. -Sir.
Mr. Han Ji-yong…
is gay.
-What? -He's gay.
It must've been so tough on him.
What did you say?
He has a secret phone no one knows about.
And he has lots of photos of muscular men on that phone.
Gosh, the photos…
I saw his elephant painting at Hawon Gallery.
I was moved, so I bought it.
Thank you for appreciating it.
He's talented and has a unique perspective.
I would like to sponsor him.
My gallery would like to sponsor him financially
and exhibit his artworks, so he can focus freely on his art.
My son is so lucky.
He's more talented than lucky.
As a matter of fact, fine art is trending. His work is close to the essence of art
and he has a meaningful perspective.
I see.
The elephant stuck in the narrow door.
How can the elephant…
get through the narrow door?
I'm not asking you to draw it as the gallery's director,
but as an individual.
I'll buy the drawing at the highest price.
How much time do you think you'll need?
I'm at my mother's house.
My morning sickness is awful. I can't stand it.
Is my baby okay?
Yes, the baby is fine.
How long are you staying there?
-A week. -A week.
2008 ACTING AWARDS BEST ACTRESS, SEO HI-SOO
SEO HI-SOO'S FIRST MOVIE, HER DAZZLING WINTER DAYS
FOCUS ON JEONG-EUN'S EMOTION!
THIS PART IS IMPORTANT! DON'T YELL, STAY COMPOSED
"I'm not the same person that I used to be.
Now that I know the whole truth…
how could I be the same?"
The doctor said you should have seaweed soup.
Did I give birth?
I lost a baby.
I have no right to eat this.
And you have no right to be doing this.
You don't have anyone right now.
And you don't want…
anyone to see you like this.
ONE WEEK LATER
Ma'am.
The artist Suzy Choi has asked to meet with you.
She says she will exhibit her works here on the condition that you meet with her.
No.
Tell her I won't meet her.
Find another artist. I don't think she's a good fit for us.
Yes, ma'am.
Hello, ma'am.
-Hi-soo. -I'm back.
Mom!
How have you been, my son?
Mom, I missed you.
I missed you too.
The baby…
is okay, right?
I'll cook you braised ribs.
You're the best!
I missed you to death.
Me too.
Soo-young, can you get me some apples?
-I told you to buy some for me. -Right.
Okay.
Still have morning sickness?
You keep asking for apples. Do you think it's a girl?
Perhaps.
Let's go inside.
Hi-soo, the designer is here.
She said your maternity clothes are ready.
I brought the dresses we made from the measurements
we took the other day.
Okay. I'll try them on.
Do you need assistance?
No. You can leave.
She was also…
an elephant stuck in a narrow door.
And she had to break down the door at all costs.
But she had to be careful not to hurt the baby elephant.
The board will meet tomorrow.
It was supposed to be last week, but Ji-yong pushed it back.
Did he wait until Hi-soo came back, so they could celebrate together?
Is there any way to turn the tables?
Soo-hyuk's fiancée.
If her family sides with us,
Ji-yong won't gain a majority of the votes.
So even if he becomes president, we can stop him from becoming chairman.
Soo-hyuk's your son. Don't you hold any sway over him?
He listens to Ji-yong more than his own father.
I mean, Ji-yong can win anyone over.
That's because they don't know his true colors.
I must have taken in a monster.
He isn't human.
I had no idea he could be so heartless.
What are you talking about?
Fill me in, will you?
Ha-joon's tutor…
is his birth mother.
Who let her into the house?
Ji-yong did.
What?
Does Hi-soo know?
-No. -Yes.
She does?
Yes, she does.
No way. How could he do such a thing?
His wife and ex in the same house?
Why didn't you drive here today?
Don't you know I'm banned from Cadenza?
They won't let my car in.
Then, why are you here?
Why do you care?
Right.
So scary.
People are the scariest of all.
Right.
He set up a whole bar in here.
Goodness.
How did you get in here?
There's a door behind the cabinet.
-What? -And the passage leads
to the parking lot. Amazing, right?
Yes.
My father is so secretive and sly.
And Ji-yong has all of his qualities.
Can I leave through that door?
No. Only I can use that door.
You use that door.
You want me to come back here?
Of course. You must clean and maintain this place.
Let's get a divorce.
You must think divorce will liberate you.
That won't happen.
You might end up with a woman worse than me.
Don't jinx me.
Just beat me up instead.
Jung-do, I really want to be a good wife to you.
Can you give me a chance?
Jin-hee.
Have you been…
-doing drugs? -Drugs?
What drugs?
Yes. I take stomach meds because of you!
Did you seriously say that to me?
You. Don't chew with your mouth open.
It's disgusting! So nasty!
I don't want to hear you chew!
Are you done?
Should we go upstairs?
Good night.
The board will meet tomorrow to appoint a new president.
I'll do what you want me to do.
I'll accept the position
so I can pass down the throne to Ha-joon when he grows up.
I came to my senses after you scolded me.
But will it go as you planned?
Soo-hyuk is getting engaged to Ms. Rho A-rim.
But then,
he's still young. Why worry about him?
About Ha-joon's former tutor…
I'm not talking about Ms. Kang.
The tutor before her. The one you fired.
-Yes. -I spoke with her on the phone.
We need to find a new tutor, and there's no one better than her for us.
Keep looking. Take your time with it.
But…
I still don't get it.
Why did you fire her so suddenly?
So Ms. Kang could…
No.
So Lee Hye-jin could move in here, right?
I was just speaking my mind.
It's all in the past anyway.
I'm going to forget everything and start anew.
For myself and Ha-joon.
And for you.
I'll only think about the three of us.
I'm glad to hear that.
Let's forget everything.
Of course. We should.
By the way,
how did you get her to leave so easily?
She isn't someone who would back away like that.
She's Ha-joon's birth mother.
It was for Ha-joon.
She did it for Ha-joon.
She's a mother, after all.
When is Hi-soo's baby due?
I'll check and let you know. I haven't asked yet.
Take good care of her
until her pregnancy becomes stable.
Of course.
The guests have arrived.
It's been a while.
Hello.
I was surprised to hear you wanted to have a meal so soon.
By the way, it was delicious.
It'd be nice
to switch our family chefs from time to time.
Right. We only hire chefs
who have been approved by our Hyowon Hotel.
So our food here is always delicious.
-I enjoyed the meal. I really did. -Good.
Now that we finished eating,
I'll tell you why I asked us to meet.
People say marriage is not between two people, but two families.
So I realized the problem can only be resolved
when it's addressed to both families.
Faking my affection…
or hiding it.
I won't do that.
I won't go through with this.
I'm sorry, A-rim.
You…
If you leave like this, you get nothing.
Do what you want.
Because I'll do what I want.
We must get on good terms
with A-rim's family again.
Appeasing her family isn't the problem.
Soo-hyuk is.
Hey, can you do something?
You know he has to marry A-rim so Jin-ho can become the chairman.
Please?
Seo-hyun.
We must help Jin-ho become the chairman.
I can't…
watch Mi-ja's son become the chairman of Hyowon Group.
Never. I can't let that happen.
Ji-yong can't become the president.
Why not?
You got something on him?
So you're telling me that my Jin-ho can keep his position, right?
Jin…
Where did Jin-ho go?
We should discuss a plan to get out of this mess.
Where on earth did he go?
Ms. Joo, where did he go?
Did he start buying lottery tickets again?
No.
Is he hiding in an underground bunker or something?
No. Of course not.
Well,
he's been enjoying taking a bath in the maids' tub recently.
Why in the world is he taking a bath there?
He has his own.
This is an important time for him.
Why would he do something so silly like that?
I agree.
That's actually better. He won't get in trouble outside the house at least.
Soo-hyuk, that brat.
I knew he would stab me in the back one day.
It wasn't in the back.
That idiot. I'd kill him if I could.
I'm glad you held it in.
Patience makes you the winner.
What do you think of me?
I don't quite understand…
Have you gone mad?
Do you think I have what it takes to become the chairman?
No, I don't.
If you did,
you wouldn't be rolling around in the bath with me.
-"Roll around"? -I mean,
I stole your family's expensive diamond, but you're having me spy for you.
You expect people to change but they don't.
How about we buy baby clothes tomorrow?
We can pick out a crib, too.
I already did.
I'm already decorating the nursery.
I wanted to surprise you,
so I've been decorating the nursery without you knowing.
You want to pick out everything?
Let me do it with you.
I want our baby to have the best.
I hope it's a girl. Some dads are crazy about their daughters.
I wanted to be one of them.
Just leave it to me.
I'll get going.
See you.
I LOVE YOU TWICE AS MUCH AS YESTERDAY
My goodness.
So you're not going to talk?
-Well, no. -I see.
Where did you go
with Ms. Seo that night?
Come on.
What do you do…
with Mr. Han in the bath lately?
Should I tell Ms. Yang
that you stole the blue diamond?
The bath
or Ms. Seo.
Choose one. Let's trade secrets.
Which one?
The bath…
No. I'll tell you about Ms. Seo.
Good boy.
Ms. Seo…
lost her baby.
There was nothing…
but the narrow door?
It wasn't confined in the first place.
The wall was never there.
The elephant just thought it was there.
Yes.
I…
I was…
Before the board decides,
Mr. Choi Jin-yeong,
the chairman's legal advisor and the leader of Hyowon's legal team,
will disclose the chairman's will to the board members.
As the chairman had been fighting a cerebrovascular disease for a long time,
he asked me to disclose his will
to both the family and the board
if he were to stay unconscious for more than a month.
And I will submit his voice recording to validate this.
Hello?
You should come over right now.
What's this about?
-Let's talk later if it's not urgent. -Kang Ja-kyeong is here.
You should handle this matter yourself.
I'm on my way now.
How dare you come here?
Get up.
-Give me back my son. -What?
Give me back my son.
-Come out. We'll talk outside. -Let go of me!
I thought Hi-soo should know, too.
Hi-soo, I'm sorry.
Don't stay here. You can't get stressed. I'll handle it.
I'm fine. I should know what's going on.
Why are you here?
To get Ha-joon back.
He's my son.
Have you gone mad? He's not your son!
He's my son!
You're an awful dad. And she's not his real mom.
Screw you.
-Get up. -Let go.
-Let go of me. -Get out!
Don't touch me!
Don't mess with me.
I'll kill anyone who tries to take what's mine.
Death is an inevitable fate.
But our world is full of wrongful deaths.
What qualifies as a wrongful death?
Those with unknown reasons…
or misunderstandings.
Don't ask me anything and just wait.
I want to file a lawsuit.
The father is the second son of Hyowon Group.
We can't let any more scandalous stories about our family get out.
I think she asked for the day off to spend time with the young master.
What are your true feelings?
-Why did you forgive me? -Do you think I forgave you?
Is getting your son back really your goal?
It's not getting revenge on Han Ji-yong?
Kill him!
Don't worry. I'm not going to lose.
