Kang Hae Jin is so powerful as a brand.

That makes me curious.

Being loved as a human being, Kang Hae Jin,

and being loved as the character you played,

which one do you prefer?

I'm much happier when I'm being loved as the character

rather than being loved as myself.

If someone likes me, but not my character,

I think I'd feel hurt a bit.

I think I'm loved enough as myself by people

- whom I cherish. - That's so sweet...

They won't ask about anything other than the film, right?

Look how many people are tuning in right now.

Why did he have to beat that innocent biker anyway?

He's not capable of acting out like that.

Let's go to the next question.

Excuse me for a sec.

The assault incident last night

involved your fiancee's stalker. Is that true?

Pardon?

Also, is it true that your fiancee divorced multiple times?

- Pardon? - The articles keep popping up.

What is he talking about?

Wh-What's all this?

We're in trouble.

Ji Ho, did you see the articles?

What articles?

Why are there articles like that?

Sang Eun, are you okay?

To be honest, I'm not okay,

because of you two.

Kang Hae Jin's image would be damaged because he's a celebrity.

And you're... a judge of Family Court.

People won't trust you if you get involved with something like this.

Not only that, your image at work was improving.

I don't care about what other people think of me.

To me, you matter the most.

Excuse me.

Yes, Hae Jin.

Sang Eun, did you see the articles? Are you okay?

Yes, I saw them.

Where are you now? I'm so worried.

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

First of all, let's focus on minimizing the damage you'd get.

I'll think of a plan and call you back.

Okay.

By chance...

Is there anything I can do?

Please just wait a bit.

I'll try to work this out myself.

I think that'd make me feel better.

Should we finish up the date today then?

I'm sorry. You must have worked hard to find a hip spot like this.

It was my first time doing stuff like that.

I liked it.

["I hate my sister-in-law for abandoning my brother." A post attacks Kang Hae Jin's girlfriend.]

["I hate my sister-in-law for abandoning my brother." A post attacks Kang Hae Jin's girlfriend.]

Thank you so much for forgiving him.

You were...

always a good person.

Thank you.

Thank you!

I told you that's her. I told you I have an eye for this!

I wish I could say it's not. But it's totally his wife! My gosh.

I got goosebumps.

She must be her twin.

Gosh.

He's always early. What's taking him so long?

If he comes, I'll ask him right away.

Judge Jung!

Have you... eaten?

Looking into his eyes...

made my brain stop.

Well, Sunbaenim. Here.

Does anyone know about this?

Chairman found out.

Because of this scandal, his past was revealed too.

He's worried the company might be in jeopardy.

I'll confirm myself first.

I'll have to meet the Chairman.

Well, Sunbaenim!

Whenever you meet the Chairman, we feel we're walking on thin ice.

Sunbaenim, if you keep doing this,

something might happen to you. I'm worried, to be honest.

Let's just let go of the past and...

Noona.

Open the door.

You haven't come out since yesterday. What are you doing?

Choi Sang Eun!

You know how I never cross the line, right?

But this isn't right.

I'll really break this door if you don't open it!

One.

Two.

I said two!

Three!

How dare you cross the line? Is it a death wish?

I thought you were having terrible thoughts!

Gosh...

Gwang Nam, sit up.

What for?

Have I caused you any damage?

What are you saying? I was always happy.

You saved my life.

Has Madam Yoo said anything lately?

Break up with her, with Ms. Jamie.

You should stop living with her.

No.

We're getting along. Don't worry.

That's a relief. I'll step out for a second.

Where are you going? Wh-Where? Where?

Shouldn't you go hiking now?

- I'll take care of things. - Take care of what? What will you do?

It's all Kang Hae Jin's fault!

Why did he insist on your help when you wanted to retire?

Tell him to take care of it all.

I asked where you're going!

You told me to go to Kang Hae Jin!

You're trying to take all the blame, aren't you?

Take all the blame...

Why are you flipping out? I'm fine!

What do you mean, you're fine?

I baked this myself.

Family Affairs Department 12, you guys are always number one for solving most cases yearly.

Thanks to your hard work, Judge Jung Ji Ho finally might move on up.

Chief, by chance...

Have you seen the articles on the internet?

Kang Hae Jin's fiancee...

I've been subscribing to only a physical newspaper for 35 years,

regardless of changes through time.

Let's congratulate him together.

If we cheer him up like this,

he might understand this is what life is about.

I'll take two then.

What a great idea.

Why don't you bring him out here?

Hurry.

Okay.

Chief is here.

You might need to come out for a second.

Okay.

Well, what's all this?

Congratulations in advance on your promotion.

It's almost certain you're getting promoted.

So maintain your image until next spring as a public figure.

Manage your emotions too.

Remember a few things to improve your personality...

I have something to tell you.

Don't you want to hear the rest?

I started talking first.

Today is a good day. Okay, go ahead then.

Until the day I retire,

I'll never get promoted.

Please ensure my name isn't mentioned as a promotion candidate, in any case.

Well...

I want to do my job in my current position.

How funny.

Am I weird, or is he weird?

Are we both weird?

Should I take this back? No, just eat it.

This is not a crisis.

It's a disaster.

It's not like we have no solution.

What is it? What should we do?

We'll make Kang Hae Jin a victim,

a man who knew nothing about Choi Sang Eun.

He wasn't ever interested in looking into his lover's past.

- That's how he got betrayed. - Yes!

That's great! I can feel it! It's not bad!

No one can blame you for not knowing what kind of person your girlfriend was.

You were fooled!

I can never allow that.

No.

I'd rather retire.

Let's say Choi Sang Eun used Kang Hae Jin.

I hid my countless divorce records

and chose him as my last stop.

Are you crazy?

Everyone gangs up on you already.

Do you want to let them bury you?

I caused you harm due to my personal history.

It'd be fair for me to receive a penalty.

Let's go with that.

What are you all saying right now?

Your face was exposed to the whole country.

I think you should think of yourself first right now.

How come you're so much better all the time?

You never care, and you're always right.

And you always get beaten alone.

Why do you live like that?

Please prepare the press release for us.

Sang Eun, please listen to me.

Aren't you being too cruel to me?

- What do you mean? - You don't care how I feel at all.

I'm doing this because I care about your feelings.

You don't want to cause me harm, right? But I...

I'm more hurt to see you suffer than to suffer a loss myself!

Do you know how that feels?

Just do as I say.
