What Is Hwang Hyeon Do’s Secret?
Seung Cheon’s father hands a bag to him, and that’s when Seung Cheon understands that he has returned to his real identity. Before going back with his father, he exchanges mobile phones with Tae Yong and whispers into his ear not to oppose his father when he puts forth the physical division of his company. Despite Seung Cheon’s suggestion, Tae Yong tells his father that he will take decisions regarding his company.
Ju Hee laughs at herself for thinking that Seung Cheon and Tae Yong have swapped identities, but when she sees Seung Cheon’s father entering the Pincode for their house, she gets surprised. It is the same Pincode as Tae Yong’s locker. She realizes that her doubt is indeed true, and she goes to find the old woman but doesn’t see her anywhere near her usual spot.
Yeo Jin meets Tae Yong and slaps him for leaving her alone in the hotel room the other night. Tae Yong doesn’t remember it clearly, and Yeo Jin doubts that Seung Cheon has swapped identities again. She calls Seung Cheon and confirms her doubt. She asks him if he wants to live as Seung Cheon or become Tae Yong again, and Ju Hee hears her. However, Ju Hee pretends as if she didn’t hear anything and goes to wish Tae Yong.
Ju Hee immediately understands that he is the old Tae Yong. She wishes him and meets Seung Cheon afterwards. She tells him that they had planned to go to a beach, and Seung Cheon pretends to remember it. She takes him to the beach, and they also talk about their date in Sokcho. While Seung Cheon gets jealous, Ju Hee confirms that he is the real Seung Cheon because they never made a plan or went on a date in Sokcho. Ju Hee tells this to Seung Cheon, and he gets scared at first, but Ju Hee is just happy that she got the real Seung Cheon back.
Tae Yong gets jealous when he hears that Ju Hee is on a date with Seung Cheon and calls Yeo Jin to tell her that they cannot get married. Yeo Jin could control Seung Cheon because she had a weapon against him, but there was no way for her to control Tae Yong. She goes to Seung Cheon’s home, only to see Ju Hee and Seung Cheon kissing.
While Seung Cheon’s father delivers food to Tae Yong’s home, Tae Yong’s father gives him the expensive art box. Seung Cheon’s father refuses to accept it initially but ends up taking it, however. Tae Yong’s father had been waiting for this moment, and he insults Seung Cheon’s father on how he gave in to money, leaving his pride aside. Seung Cheon’s father leaves Tae Yong’s home without taking the art box with him. His wife gives him money to enjoy himself and forget what happened, and he runs into Yeo Jin, who urges him to let her buy a meal for him.
Seung Cheon and Ju Hee meet at the old woman’s spot, and Ju Hee asks him about the ten-year rule of the spoon. Seung Cheon hadn’t completed ten years as Tae Yong yet when he became Seung Cheon again on his birthday. Ju Hee was curious about it, and she got her answer soon. As soon as the clock hit twelve midnight, Seung Cheon became Tae Yong again. Ju Hee wonders how did she end up with Tae Yong when she was actually with Seung Cheon all the time.
Elsewhere, Tae Yong’s father, Hwang Hyeon Do, has a big secret. He is not Tae Yong’s real father. He has also used the golden spoon in the past to become rich. This explains why Tae Yong and Seung Cheon didn’t swap identities when Tae Yong saw his father first on his birthday.
Who Tells Seung Cheon’s Father About ‘The Golden Spoon’?
Back in 1982, Kwon Yo Han and Hwang Hyeon Do met for the first time. Hyeon Do was the heir of the Dosin group, and Yo Han was the heir to one of Dosin’s affiliates, the Sungan group. Hyeon Do was engaged to Mi Yeon, whom Yo Han liked as well.
