Love Returns (미워도 사랑해)

Well...

Please take a look at this, Ms. Kim.

What's this?

I found it in CEO Kim's office.

To be accurate,

I got it from the shredder and taped it together.

You know what a shredder is, right?

The machine that cut paper into pieces.

But who said that this was written by CEO Kim?

This is the handwriting analysis result that proves...

that CEO Kim wrote it.

I asked to compare it with his autograph on the company magazine.

The fact that you've looked into it means you found this a while ago.

Why didn't you show me this right away?

Mr. Jung.

I'm sorry.

I thought of doing something else just for a moment...

What did you think of doing?

This note wouldn't cause him any legal problems.

So I thought of using this to ask CEO Kim...

You meant to blackmail him for money.

No, that's not it.

Anyway, the thing is... I thought...

I'm sorry.

Then why did you bring this to me instead of using it...

to blackmail CEO Kim?

They're very scary.

In fact, I got fired from my job as a cleaner.

You got fired?

The employment agency owner didn't tell me that.

I'm sure he's scared as well.

A group of muscular men were standing in front of the door.

It felt like CEO Kim was the head of a gang, not a company.

Ms. Kim.

I'm really worried about In Woo.

I will take any punishment for scheming,

so please save In Woo.

CEO Kim is such a despicable man.

Hello? Oh, hi. Yes.

Yes. Did you look into it?

I see. Yes. Okay.

Well, no. I'm too busy today.

But come by my pawnshop anytime tomorrow.

I'll be there after 3pm.

Yes. Okay. Bye.

Hello. Please have a seat.

Okay.

Dear me.

Don't let anyone in.

Yes, sir.

This is the product certificate sent from the lab and the contract.

I wouldn't understand any of this jargon.

I only believe what's written in this contract.

For example...

In case of any problems caused by your product,

you must pay me three times the amount of money I invested.

That would be a fortune, but I'm sure...

you can handle it. Right?

Isn't the only problem of derma product fast decomposition?

The document says that our product doesn't have that problem.

I see that.

Would you like to sign the agreement now?

Okay, let's do it.

CEO Kim, you have a visitor.

Whoever it is, tell the person to wait.

Can't you see that I'm dealing with an important matter now?

Well, it's...

It's been a while, CEO Kim.

And Ms. Kim.

Suk Pyo, it's been a while.

Wait. Should I call you CEO Hong when we meet publicly?

It doesn't matter.

This is the product certificate of our product.

As I already said, I wouldn't understand...

CEO Kim, could you take a look at this for me?

Do we need someone else to check it for us?

No. He prepared the proper certificate.

Is that so?

In that case... CEO Kim, you know my conditions, don't you?

If your offers are the same, I will invest in CEO Hong's project,

because he reached out to me first. You know that, right?

But our offers are not the same.

CEO Hong came late.

Is that right?

Let me see.

The date of the issuance date of the product certificate...

If you look at the issuance date,

CEO Hong got the certificate one day earlier than you.

What? That can't be.

What? Did he get the certificate...

before we stole his product?

Now, I can sign the contract with CEO Hong, right?

Suk Pyo, could it be you only have the contract and not the product?

If you breach the contract, you have to a hefty penalty.

I don't think that's something you need to worry about.

I prepared a contract too.

Okay. Then...

CEO Kim, you can be the witness. Right?

You'll do that for us, right?

Ms. Kim, you can't do this to me.

What do you mean by that?

I'm just following the law, which you people like.

Is there a problem with that??

What?

CEO Kim, we have a big problem.

The product is full of preservatives.

That's why it didn't decompose.

So?

If we remove the preservatives, it decomposes within an hour.

We can't launch this product as is.

Okay.

So...

can I sight the contract with CEO Hong now?

You'll be the witness.

I'll be the witness,

but you're making the contract with him as an individual.

Our company has nothing to do with it.

Of course, I'm aware of that.

Secretary Lee filmed this.

We knew that they were tailing him on his way to Namhae County.

They're the ones who have been tailing me.

Since when?

Since I started to work on the derma project.

Did you let him do this to you while knowing that?

You could've ended up in trouble.

I knew you were protecting me.

Did you know that?

Of course I did. There were two groups that were tailing me.

You're right. In fact, I did some research on CEO Kim.

I don't like doing things behind other people's backs,

but I can't just let others take advantage of me.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

I'm sure Eun Jo must feel disappointed with me.

I purposefully treated her coldly.

She didn't say anything to me.

I see.

She's quite thoughtful, isn't she?

I'll play the bad guy,

so you make sure Eun Jo feels better.

Okay.

By the way, CEO Kim won't just sit back and watch...

when they realize the products they stole were fake.

Don't worry.

I know exactly what he's like.

You did a good job, taking care of everything by yourself.

I didn't do this alone.

My mom.

I went to my old house and found old pictures, my mom's notes...

and information related to CEO Kim.

So, his mom ended up helping him.

Signing a contract with Ms. Kim doesn't mean it's over.

Of course not. This is just the beginning.

It's not just about work.

I wonder if your health will hold up.

You went through a lot of trouble to steal the products.

Too bad you didn't get to sign with Ms. Kim.

What do you mean "steal"? How dare you accuse me of that?

Then let's say you borrowed it for now.

Don't come to me when things go wrong.

Just because you're dating her daughter,

it doesn't mean she won't make you pay for the breach of contract.

You'll end up losing everything.

Don't you think you're worrying too much?

Perhaps, but I can't help but worry.

I'm worried about the derma products...

and your health.

Good luck. I'll be rooting for you.

See you at the stockholders' meeting next month.

I think you'll end up losing your stock,

to the penalty for breaching your contract.

I look forward to the meeting.

What's with his attitude?

How could he be so calm with that product full of preservatives?

I used to like how thorough a person you were.

I'm sad to think this position has ruined you.

What's this?

Just keep walking.

I want to know the reason.

Stop talking to me.

I'm worried this might have something to do with me.

That day at the factory... - Let's talk outside.

What are you so afraid of?

Worry about yourself...

and don't mind my business.

To CEO Kim, "on hold" means you're being fired.

I won't get fired.

I warned you to make the first move.

I think you lost out to CEO Kim.

This isn't about who started it first.

It's about who gets the last laugh.

So, you think it's either you or CEO Kim that will survive.

Hand what you have over to us.

What? - You have evidence on CEO Kim.

Why? Who would I be doing that for?

We have the same goal.
