1. Ousting Lee Chang Joo in favor of his brother

Despite simply having killed his former righthand man Shim Hyung Woo (Sungyeol), Je Gyun couldn’t care much less. He fakes a pair tears on the funeral and searches Hyung Woo’s workplace that evening, hoping to destroy all proof. His spy inside Taeil finds Hyung Woo’s laptop computer. But Hyung Woo had extra up his sleeve. He despatched Ji Soo and Seung Jo each bit of knowledge on all of the dust he had on Je Gyun. Threats, falsified data, reviews—each inch of Hyung Woo’s time as servant to probably the most harmful males within the nation is all there. But it’s all so oblique that it’ll be troublesome to make a cost stick on Je Gyun.

Meanwhile, the person himself remains to be seething over Ho Woo and Seung Jo halting his orchestrated takeover of Sang Ah Group. He hoped to oust Chairman Lee Chang Joo (Jung Hae Kyun) in favor of Chang Joo’s older brother Lee Sung Joo (Jung Woong In). Now, Je Gyun was the one liable for kicking Sung Joo out of the corporate to start with. He ruined the person’s life. But Sung Joo crawled again as much as the highest, amassing wealth and energy aplenty throughout that point. Je Gyun sees alternative in a person as pushed as Sung Joo. Meanwhile, Chang Joo and his incapability to deal with a conglomerate maintain no additional enchantment. Ho Woo and Seung Jo ruined his first try at tossing Chang Joo away, however Je Gyun all the time has playing cards up his sleeve, and it doesn’t take him lengthy to search out Chang Joo’s weak spot: his fool son Lee Bo Sung (Joo Byung Ha) who owns a small however important variety of shares in Sang Ah Group. If Bo Sung loses his shares, then Sung Joo turns into majority shareholder, and, thereby, the proprietor.

From there it’s only a hop, step, and a soar to have one in all Je Gyun’s individuals persuade Bo Sung to buy a stock-dependent mortgage. Bo Sung indicators, sure that the worth of his shares received’t plummet. Je Gyun instantly arranges to have Bo Sung framed for soliciting sexual companies from minors.

And now, Je Gyun has it in his pocket. But he received’t cease there.

2. Plotting to take over Ji San Bank

Jang Ji Soo (Kim Yoo Ri) is suspicious when she discovers Je Gyun’s give attention to a web-based mortgage firm, which is riddled with money owed. Yeon Ah, Ho Woo, and Seung Jo are equally bewildered after they discover that Je Gyun has proposed that Yeon Ah’s father Jin Tae Soo (Kang Shin Il), the president of Ji San Bank, buy stated firm as a method of driving up the inventory value. Je Gyun frames it as a method of extending Tae Soo’s tenure as financial institution president. Only, it’s a lure.

Seung Jo and co. uncover that Je Gyun means to make use of the debt-ridden firm as a Trojan Horse. First, Ji San Bank buys the corporate, counting on Je Gyun’s phrase that the corporate is solvent. Then, Je Gyun releases the information that the mortgage firm is bancrupt together with a bunch of lies that Ji San Bank is on the sting of chapter. People will panic and pull their cash en masse from the financial institution. And that is what’s going to really make the lies the reality as a result of pulling cash from a financial institution will lead to it sliding in the direction of insolvency. If the financial institution’s company shoppers additionally pull their cash from the financial institution, then it’s doomed. The financial institution will probably be up on the market. And Je Gyun has a purchaser in thoughts. Himself.

3. Buying up key gamers within the financial system

At lengthy final, Je Gyun’s plan involves mild. He’s been bribing individuals for years utilizing patents that he obtained through ruining solvent companies. He takes their patents and tech and passes them onto rich and well-connected individuals as a method of simple slush fund creations. Ji Soo is aghast on the listing of individuals he’s bribing, from the Financial Commission to the National Forensic Service. Now, slowly however absolutely, Je Gyun controls a overwhelming majority of Korea’s key gamers. Accountants aren’t allowed to accumulate banks as a consequence of an absence of {qualifications}, however Je Gyun’s connections with the Financial Commission will enable him to bypass every little thing. He’ll be handed a wonderfully good financial institution on a platter, and he already has a ready-made clientele within the wealthy and highly effective. As an accountant and financial institution president, he can use the financial institution to defend all kinds of shady transactions and canopy them up in monetary data. In brief, he’ll be unstoppable. He received’t simply have management over the Korean financial system, he’ll be the Korean financial system.

Yeon Ah begs her father to not undergo with the acquisition, however Je Gyun threatens Tae Soo, saying that he’ll reveal each unsavory motion Tae Soo has taken to get this far to his daughter. Tae Soo caves, hoping that his daughter was unsuitable. She wasn’t. The financial institution implodes however Seung Jo and Ho Woo can do nothing. Even worse, they’ve simply gotten the final little bit of proof Hyung Woo hid away in revenge. And it’s the worst secret but. Hyung Woo went to nice pains to make sure that Ho Woo would discover it but additionally appeared to have been terrified about Ho Woo figuring out the reality. Ho Woo’s foster father Jang In Ho (Nam Myung Ryul) didn’t die by suicide the way in which everybody believes. He was stabbed to loss of life and shoved off his building website by none aside from Shim Hyung Woo himself.

Seung Jo and Ho Woo are in shock. Ji Soo, who finds out through questioning the coroner who faked the forensic report for Je Gyun, is equally devastated. Je Gyun discovers that Ji Soo appears to pay attention to the reality and sends males to kill her. Seung Jo foils the try, however everybody is aware of that Je Gyun is preventing together with his claws out this time. And with success so shut at hand, he doesn’t care who will get maimed.

4. Ruining Lee Sung Joo himself

Ho Woo’s nonetheless reeling when Sang Ah Group’s new chairman Lee Sung Joo drops one other bomb on his head. It seems that Sung Joo knew Ho Woo’s delivery dad and mom, and he is aware of how they died. Ho Woo’s father was a building employee (Je Gyun actually appears to have individuals working in building) who took problem with Je Gyun siphoning cash from the company. Ho Woo’s father was conscious that Je Gyun was twisting monetary data to make it appear as if the corporate was utilizing premium supplies to construct. In actuality, low cost, shoddy supplies had been getting used, and the constructing, even throughout building, was exhibiting indicators of impeding collapse. Je Gyun was utilizing the distinction between the price of a budget supplies and the supposed premium supplies he lists on the books to create a slush fund for the company’s proprietor. Ho Woo’s father was about to show Je Gyun when the constructing collapsed, killing him and his spouse, Ho Woo’s mom.

Ho Woo just about goes insane and confronts Je Gyun, however he simply shrugs as a result of as ordinary, there’s no proof. And as for Chairman Lee Sung Joo who gave Ho Woo that data? He did so as a result of he nonetheless harbors a grudge towards Je Gyun for dethroning him and re-throning him. He doesn’t respect the manipulation, so he needed to make use of Ho Woo to smash Je Gyun. Only, Je Gyun received wind of it first. The subsequent factor we see is Sung Joo being arrested for each monetary crime recognized to mankind. It’s scary how this man could make or break individuals in a heartbeat.

At this level, it looks like nothing can cease Je Gyun. But he’s nonetheless solely vice chairman. The mysterious chairman of Taeil has been absent all through the present. But Ho Woo is decided to lure him out within the hopes that he can cease Je Gyun. After all, if Je Gyun needs to personal Taeil so badly, there have to be a cause. Said actual chairman (Nam Kyung Eup) seems after Ho Woo makes a public put up on the Taeil boards, outing what Je Gyun has performed to Ji San Bank. But will he assist? And extra importantly, does he have the facility to take action?

Next up is a wierd case of the hearing-impaired barista who has been serving to Je Gyun. She secretly spies on all staff on the espresso store she works at, lip reads every little thing they talk about, and reviews it again to Je Gyun. It’s how he’s been in a position to keep one step forward all this time. Je Gyun isn’t all-powerful, however he owns so many individuals that he would possibly as effectively be. Ho Woo finds that the barista is the daughter of the one survivor of the development accident that killed his dad and mom. It’s an accident attributable to Je Gyun, so why is she serving to him? Next week guarantees solutions and a closing reckoning. And I, for one, am actually wanting ahead to seeing Je Gyun get flattened just like the bug he’s.
