Blessing of the Sea (The Dragon King Protects / Yongwangnim Bowoohasa / 용왕님 보우하사)

Vice President Seo Pil Doo.

I just asked you what you're doing here.

Chung Yi.

Vice President Seo Pil Doo?

Dad.

He seems quite familiar.

By any chance, do you know who he is?

That's Vice President Seo Pil Doo.

Did you come all the way here to do my background check?

Wait, what are you talking about?

A background check?

What is this?

What are you doing in front of my house this late at night?

Are you deaf or something?

A background check?

I came to ask you a few questions...

regarding "Portrait of a Beauty".

I remembered how you were reading Jo Ji Hwan's file this afternoon.

That sounds more like an awful excuse.

If you have anything to say, you can tell me at work.

Doesn't it make you look weird to hang about...

in front of someone's house at this hour?

Fine, I'll do that.

Excuse me, I apologize. Goodbye.

Don't do that, Dad. Let's go.

Doesn't he hold a high position? I shouldn't have yelled at him.

Should I have held back?

No, Dad. You don't have to mind him.

Anyway, why is he doing a background check on you?

No idea.

Who knows what that cunning man has on his mind?

He mentioned the portrait to make an excuse.

That sly man.

Well,

he might have had something to say about "Portrait of a Beauty".

He opposes everything that has to do with the Goryeo project.

He couldn't be here to tell me anything helpful.

He's either here to find out what we're up to,

or he might be up to something else.

I'll go talk to him at work tomorrow.

He better not say anything absurd. I won't let it pass.

I think that guy visited our house before.

What? When?

You know,

a little bit after you got into that hit-and-run accident.

Really?

Why was he here back then?

Anyway, he's so weird.

Chung Yi, are you really okay?

I'm worried after hearing about him doing your background check.

There's nothing to worry about.

He's not going to find anything anyway.

All I've done is a ton of part-time jobs.

You're right.

Has Poong Do left?

Yes, after finishing a bowl of ramyeon.

Well, Chung Yi.

I think I'll work for Chairwoman Ma.

If she needs me, why not?

Poong Do asked me to as well.

"Poong Do"?

It seems like you two are much closer now.

Sharing ramyeon together at night...

can make any two people friends.

Seo Pil Doo.

Why did he come to my house?

I guess the Goryeo project provoked him.

I came to ask you a few questions.

I remembered how you were reading Jo Ji Hwan's file this afternoon.

Did he look at me like that because he knew something?

Was he feeling me out or what?

Something doesn't feel right about him, definitely.

What are you doing in front of my house this late at night?

Did you find out?

Why is Jo Hong Joo living with them?

Apparently, right after Sim Chung Yi washed up on shore,

she started following Sim Hak Gyu around, calling him Dad.

Didn't "Portrait of a Beauty" wash up with her?

No. There was no mention of it.

It's hard to believe...

that he took a stranger in for nothing.

Do some more digging on Sim Hak Gyu.

Yes, sir.

Where are you?

Why didn't you show up?

I was being followed.

By who?

In any case, the money should be moved to a safer place.

It's an emergency.

The slush fund should be moved?

I'll tell you more details when we meet.

I'll let you know where we should meet soon.

Attorney Han!

Give me my money back...

What are you doing?

Let me go!

Where are you taking me?

What happened between Gwi Nyeo and Heon Jeong?

It's none of your business. You're being nosy.

You.

How is the Goryeo project going?

I can't understand why you and Mom want to do that.

Do you know how many people that painting has killed so far?

It's cursed.

Do you know a man called Jo Ji Hwan?

I sure do.

I almost married him once.

What?

Can you believe...

your grandma wanted me to marry him?

She was smitten with him.

He was like brothers...

with your dad as well.

It brings back memories.

But it's all pointless.

In the end, he stabbed the old lady in the back.

Seo Pil Doo, Ma Sung Jae, and Jo Ji Hwan.

They were inseparable.

They even got friendship watches and whatnot.

You shouldn't trust people too easily.

Be especially careful of people like Sim Chung Yi.

Do you understand?

Don't drink too much.

What is it?

You don't want to hear me say bad things about Chung Yi?

Are you one of her supporters?

Why is everyone on her side?

Gosh, it's annoying.

Where did the picture go?

Gosh, what is this?

I can't believe him.

Hello.

Were you waiting for my call? You picked up right away.

What did you do to my phone?

When did you save this creepy photo in it?

I took 100 photos to get that one.

It looks amazing, doesn't it?

I had no one else to show it off to than you.

Cut it out. What's the matter?

You want me to find a ghost?

What are you talking about, a ghost?

I'm talking about Jo Ji Hwan. Don't you have any more information?

I'm usually better than an average detective agency,

but I can't find anything on him.

It's almost like someone has removed all the information about him.

Have you checked Gangnyeong Temple?

Gangnyeong Temple?

Yes. It might be the last place he was at.

Find out more about it.

We're getting a divorce.

Stamp it, Woo Yang.

Fine. We got married earlier than most people.

We could get a divorce early too.

Let's get it over with.

Is this your conclusion after talking all night?

Don't you care about Tae Yang?

We're doing this for his sake.

The three of us can't go on like this.

I can raise Tae Yang by myself.

Who says you can take him?

Who says you can?

Be quiet, both of you!

Don't you remember what you went through to get married?

Who were the witnesses of your marriage?

They were Ms. Jeong and me.

If you get a divorce,

I'll never see you guys again.

Gosh.

I'm the one who should be crying, not her.

What are you guys doing here?

Shouldn't you be in school?

Nothing.

Yeol Mae, let's go.

Dad, you look like a different person.

Now that I'm working for Chairwoman Ma,

I should dress well.

This is the only suit I have. Do I look good?

Yes. You look great.

Why do you look so down?

Is something wrong?

No. Let's go, Dad.

We never got to finish our conversation last night.

What did you want to talk about at my house?

Was it really about "Portrait of a Beauty"?

I heard "Portrait of a Beauty" was with...

Sim Hak Gyu, your dad.

Is that true?

It's that again.

Did Ji Na tell you that?

You took the painting.

Why do you keep dragging my dad into it?

The truth will be revealed soon.

The painting thief's daughter working on the Goryeo project?

Wouldn't that be absurd?

Look, Vice President Seo.

You're afraid...

the Goryeo project will reveal what you did in the past.

And that's understandable.

But it's no use trying to get in my way by spying me.

Why don't you try to achieve something on your own instead?
