The Reborn Chairman
After hearing about the accident Yong-ho was in, Bang-geul rushes to the hospital and runs into Yong-ho in Jun-hyeon’s body.

Jun-hyeon joins Choiseong Group as an intern.
Proving Your Competency

As the twins compete for the position of the next Chairman, they quietly carry out their own schemes behind the scenes. Jun-hyeon's grandmother sets off for Seoul to find her grandson. When Bang-geul learns of her disappearance by chance, she joins the search and helps track her down.
A Divide And Conquer Strategy
The disappearance of Managing Director Song becomes the subject of a police investigation, putting Jae-seong in a difficult position. Yong-ho realises that Jae-seong intends to sabotage the port project for Taeha's benefit, his father-in-law's company. Yong-ho sides with Jae-gyeong and shares everything he knows, deepening the twins' mistrust of one another.
A Self-Destructive Battle
Chairman Na insists that GF Solution must be acquired and assures Jae-seong that Taeha will back the deal financially if needed. Yong-ho manipulates both Jae-gyeong and Jae-seong into driving up the acquisition price to an absurd level. Meanwhile, Yong-ho reveals to Sang-jae that he is Yong-ho, now living inside Jun-hyeon's body.
The Claws Are Out At Last
Yong-ho, Bang-geul, and Bong-gi travel to Yulivia to steal the mining project Taeha has been working on. They figure out Chairman Na’s scheme against Yulivia’s government.

Making Another Sacrifice
After successfully getting rid of Jae-seong, Jae-gyeong sets Managing Director Lee up and accuses him of trying to take over Choiseong. She calls an emergency board meeting and makes Bang-geul and Jun-hyeon fire 20 percent of the staff. In the meantime, she also makes a secret deal with Chairman Na.
Deep In Enemy Territory
After Chairman Kang’s death, Jae-gyeong openly moves to take over Choiseong Group. She also frames Seon-hee and Bang-geul for Chairman Kang’s alleged creation of slush funds. Determined to take Jae-gyeong down, Yong-ho pretends to betray Bang-geul and joins Jae-gyeong’s side.
Betrayal Upon Betrayal
Jae-gyeong finds herself on the verge of losing the Daesan Hydrogen Complex to Chairman Na under highly unfavourable terms. Realising that Jae-gyeong is being blackmailed by Chairman Na, Yong-ho pretends to join forces with Chairman Na and ultimately discovers that Jae-gyeong was not the one who killed him. Meanwhile, Bang-geul learns that Yong-ho has sided with Taeha and begins following him to uncover the truth.
Getting Proper Revenge
Bang-geul finds out who actually killed her dad and swears to take revenge on them. Yong-ho gives the CCTV footage from the hospital to Jae-gyeong, and she uses it to blackmail Chairman Na. Eun-se flies to Singapore to get Chairman Na’s slush fund, but unexpected news hits her while she’s there.
The Final Punishment
Yong-ho finally wakes up in his body and saves Jun-hyeon, who was in danger because of Chairman Na. Yong-ho asks Jae-gyeong to make things right with him, but she refuses. Jae-seong turns himself in and reveals everything he did with Jae-gyeong.
