It's a fake marriage, but I love you
[Episode 1] Vice President Scarecrow
50 days until the wedding
오전 8:30
Amidst the countless passenger cars filling the road, a black imported car is visible. Inside, the car, which looks expensive at first glance, is Tae-hyung, the vice president of VT Corporation.
Taehyung goes to work like any other day.
라디오
Here's the latest news. The recent merger between VT and BS has the nation buzzing. Stock prices are skyrocketing, and investment funds are reportedly pouring in.
As news of the merger of two companies that dominate South Korea spreads like wildfire, the company's stock price is rising without end.

Secretary Do speaks while looking at Taehyung's frowning face.
도비서
(Note) Should I turn off the radio?
김태형
No, let me hear a little more.
Taehyung is not happy about the merger of the two companies.
This is because the company merger was a contract concluded through the forced marriage of Hye-young and Jeong-guk.
김태형
under..
도비서
Everything is going well thanks to the merger, so why are you sighing so much?
김태형
That's it...
김태형
(Because I have someone I love)
김태형
I just have a bit of a headache
도비서
Have you been having trouble sleeping again?
김태형
(Nod)
도비서
This really won't work anymore
도비서
Please stay home from work and get some rest this week.
도비서
How many days has this been going on?
김태형
I'm frustrated too
김태형
I can't sleep, what do you want me to do?
김태형
I want to live with someone who can help me sleep.
5 minutes later
도비서
Vice President, we have arrived.
김태형
Oh, okay, good job
-Company lobby-
As Taehyung enters, the employees standing in line greet him. Since it's a greeting he receives every day, they pass by without a second thought, and the executives follow suit.
도비서
Vice President, you must go to the executive meeting today.
김태형
Oh, let's go up now.
09:00 PM
All the executives gather and soon one person arrives.
She is the president of VT Corporation and Taehyung's stepmother.
김태형
(bow) Are you here?
The chairman ignores Taehyung's greeting and sits down.
김태형
...
The chairman takes off the fur coat he is wearing, gives it to his secretary, and begins the meeting.
임원들
There are a lot of issues that need to be sorted out with this company merger.
임원들
Human resource management is the most important thing for a company, but what will you do about irregular workers?
VT그룹 회장
(Giving Taehyung a hint)
김태형
Ah... that... I...
김태형
Personnel... Management... Irregular...
An executive who had been observing the situation steps forward and says something.
임원들
If the company merges, the size of the company will increase, but there will be too many people.
임원들
I think it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to lay off about 10% of the workforce.
김태형
Yeah! That's exactly what I mean.
김태형
Let's do some layoffs while we're at it!
임원들
Phew
Looking at the immature Taehyung, the executives' laughter and murmuring can be heard here and there.
김태형
(sense)
VT그룹 회장
You'll have to miss this meeting too.
VT그룹 회장
What are you talking about when you don't even know how to run a company?
김태형
sorry.
Although he holds the highest position, the real power here belongs to Taehyung, who is at the bottom.
Taehyung is just another vice president who is easy on anyone.
1 hour later
After the meeting, the chairman and Taehyung are left behind.
김태형
(Note) Because of my shortcomings, my mother always has a hard time.
VT그룹 회장
Don't call me mother.
VT그룹 회장
This is work, not home.
김태형
sorry.
VT그룹 회장
And I'm not your mother
VT그룹 회장
What mother would accept as her child a child she didn't even give birth to?
김태형
...
VT그룹 회장
Don't make that face.
VT그룹 회장
I feel dirty since morning
김태형
(Ha.. here we go again)
Taehyung's heart is seething, but his expression doesn't change.
VT그룹 회장
By the way, did the woman I told you to clean up clean up well?
김태형
...I like that person.
김태형
So, I don't think I can give up.
VT그룹 회장
what?
VT그룹 회장
(throwing papers) You're crazy!!!
Blood drips down Taehyung's cheek as he passes the documents.
김태형
(Seriously) Sorry.
VT그룹 회장
I'll give you a month.
VT그룹 회장
The wedding is less than two months away and you're still doing this?
VT그룹 회장
Pathetic guy.
The chairman leaves the conference room.
김태형
under...
김태형
(wiping the blood from his face with his hand) It stings so badly.
I don't know anything,
Incompetent,
I just got it through my father's connections
Vice President Scarecrow.
This is the Taehyung that the company people see.
Until then, no one knew.
Who would have thought he would live wearing a mask and hiding his desire for power?
김태형
(holding hands) I will never give up
김태형
I will protect you till the end
박한올
I will never give up on you either, oppa.
VT그룹 회장
Go away.
VT그룹 회장
I'll give you as much money as you want
VT그룹 회장
Didn't you meet Taehyung because of money anyway?
박한올
