Filing for Love (은밀한 감사)

FILING FOR LOVE

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

36 HOURS BEFORE M&A

Would you like a drink?

I don't think there's anything left for us to talk about.

No, wait.

"Regret lingers more over the things we never did than the things we did.

And unrequited love lasts longer than love that has faced its end."

Do you remember saying that?

"Attempt everything. Never stop.

I will not let you end up regretting the things you didn't do at Haemu."

It's a quote from your inaugural address

that impressed me a great deal.

Keep your word.

Don't make me regret anything.

What a waste of good liquor.

I quit drinking.

I'll finish it, then.

You have a good memory.

Even I'd forgotten I'd said that.

I believed you were a pretty decent leader.

Back then, that is.

That hits hard.

I mean it.

It was around the time.

I'd started to look down on Haemu.

My superiors were fools

and my coworkers were frustrating.

The company seemed small.

Yes.

I was an arrogant punk.

I thought my life

was a straight highway with no obstacles at all.

That is, until I met Ms. Joo.

In-a must've pulled the brakes on your smooth-sailing life

when she demoted you to handle PM cases.

Reality hit hard.

I thought, "Why should I be doing this stuff?"

Not long after that

I started to feel ashamed.

To me, Haemu was just a place to do well, be acknowledged

and prove myself to others.

To someone else.

Haemu was a source of pride.

- Please excuse me. - It was a part of an enjoyable day

and something they had to protect at all costs.

- Let's go! - I realized that Haemu.

- Cheers! - Is where people come to work.

I'd like you to think of those very people.

You wouldn't want

to leave with regrets, would you?

JEON JAE-YEOL

Hello?

What?

Please excuse my intrusion.

- Coffee? - No, thanks.

I'll get him out of here right away.

Mr. Noh, get up this instant.

Hey, Ms. Joo, when did you get here?

How much did you drink?

- Are you the only one hungover? - I guess so.

I don't think I drank that much, but I must've dozed off.

What's this?

Did you cover me up with this?

How sweet of you.

That's enough nonsense.

Let's get to the point.

What now?

What do you need me to do?

Did you change your mind?

Mr. Noh tells a pretty good story.

24 HOURS BEFORE M&A

The main subsidiaries will be sold off tomorrow.

So you want to hold a board meeting and dismiss Sung-yeol before then?

Yes, that's right.

Out of the directors, Director Woo is most against the M&A.

Meet Director Woo and persuade him to call the meeting.

I'm not saying I'll return to management.

I want to break from tradition

and hire a management specialist.

Do you think you can achieve that on your own?

Some employees are on my side.

There will be a change from the roots up.

I won't be leading from the front.

I'll be supporting from behind.

When Director Woo calls the board

we must persuade a majority of the other directors to attend.

This is the only way to stop the M&A.

We can't manage on our own.

I'll ask Team Three for their help.

That's Director Yoon over there.

Yes. I see him.

AIRPORT TERMINAL

- Oh, hello, sir. - What are you doing?

You can't leave.

- Please help. - Oh, gosh.

JEON SUNG-YEOL.

An emergency board meeting?

So Jae-yeol has started to move.

It's fine as long as the majority doesn't attend.

Director Park and Director Jeong won't be interested anyway.

- Call Director Ha. - Yes, sir.

Oh, one more thing.

Be sure the deal to sell HM Trans is on track.

Sure, I understand.

3 HOURS BEFORE M&A

How did it go?

Director Ha didn't come to the meeting place.

He won't take our calls, either.

I think he sided with Jeon Sung-yeol.

They'll be signing the deal soon.

President Jeon.

He's still a registered board member.

Forget it.

I have no reason to do that.

The game is over already.

You lost to him completely at the shareholders' meeting.

I don't want to side with a loser.

Father.

What did I fight for all this time?

The reason I spent my entire life trying to win and earn recognition

in the fight you set up for me

is that I understood the purpose of that fight.

"The strongest shall survive to lead Haemu."

I believed that, too.

But look at Haemu now.

Look at the company you tried to protect.

Is this how you want it to be?

You had once told me

that protecting something means discarding everything else.

I came here to protect Haemu.

I gave up on an ordinary life, my pathetic ego

and my hatred and resentment for you.

So, will you please put aside your disappointment in me

for a short while?

For Haemu's sake.

MARCH 11, 2026 SIGNED BY JEON SUNG-YEOL

What do you think you're doing?

The deal you just signed is invalid.

The board dismissed VP Jeon Sung-yeol

and he has no right to sign the deal.

What stupid prank is this?

We already signed and exchanged the papers.

The board passed the resolution to remove you

at 2:25 p.m. on March 11, 2026.

According to Article 17 of Haemu's company charter

you lose all authority

the moment you are dismissed.

That's impossible.

VOTING RESULTS TO DISMISS VP JEON SUNG-YEOL

What is this? How come...

- Ms. Park, where is Director Ha? - He's at his residence.

Then who else signed this?

Father?

DISMISSAL OF AN EXECUTIVE

PRESIDENT JEON MOO-TAE

Why would Father sign...

What on earth is going on?

We informed your company as soon as the resolution passed.

I'm sure you don't want to face the legal risk

of signing a deal with an unauthorized proxy.

The emergency board meeting adhered to all laws and charters.

If you still want to challenge its validity

we'll meet you in court.

When did you set this up?

You acted like you didn't care or want anything.

Were you hiding your talons all this time?

I'm not here to steal what's yours.

I'm here so I can leave without regret.

How typical of him to leave behind a mess.

I think he destroyed the files that could pose a problem later on.

I kept backup copies.

You're still very meticulous.

That's how you took me down.

Why did you change your mind?

I realized.

I wasn't as bad a person as I thought.

Man, it was like a scene from a movie.

It was more film-like than a film.

Guess how many times Hae-young and I drove around the golf club.

You all had a partner, at least.

I went on my own to Director Min's home.

You know he has the worst temper out of all the directors, don't you?

- Come on. - His temper isn't the worst.

We had to deal with Director Yoon who put up a fight.

- Right? - Right, and we subdued him.

We almost had to board a plane.

Great work today.

I owe it to them for their help.

We couldn't have done it without you.

Good job.

Is Jae-yeol joining us for dinner?

Why don't you give him a call?

You two met up just fine without me.

It is a shame.

If we hadn't met as your ex and current boyfriend

we could've been really close.

I mean it.

I see why you dated him.

He's pretty cool.
