[Beautiful Gong Shim]
[Episode 7]
Let's talk.
What are you doing?
I have nothing to say!
I have a lot to say.
I'm sorry.
For what? Why are you sorry?
I'm sorry for thinking that you lied. I thought you were home.
I found out this morning that you had to go back to work that night.
I'm really sorry.
Even if I was lying is that something to get mad about?
I wasn't mad. It just bothered me.
Then don't let it bother you.
Can't you just tell me that you won't make me get bothered anymore?
- Why do I have to do that? - I don't know.
Can't you just say okay?
Why do I have to do what you say?
Do you think I'm a stupid fool?
I don't want to. I do what I want.
Gong Shim, that's not what I meant.
Did you hear about Gong Shim?
I heard she came in through Director Yeom's connections.
Yeah? They don't look related.
Maybe she's his child out of wedlock.
That's how she got that job with her ridiculous background.
I can't even stand thinking about her.
Look at her face.
She acts all innocent, but she looks like a back-stabber.
I heard she's already dating the male employees.
- With that face? - Yeah.
Excuse me, are you having fun talking smack?
What's your problem?
Outsiders aren't allowed in here.
Who are you?
I'm the chairwoman's attorney.
Talking behind someone's back has serious consequences.
Even if it's a conversation just between the two of you
if you ridicule a third person you can get charged with defamation.
You can get legally prosecuted for talking behind someone's back.
Listening to your conversation, you will definitely get prosecuted.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Don't apologize to me.
Go apologize to Ms. Gong Shim.
Be respectful, and apologize to her with sincerity, so she can understand.
I'm going to follow up with her. Do you understand?
- Yes. - Yes.
Give that back to me. What are you waiting for?
Go apologize to Ms. Gong Shim.
Son.
It's her? You're the one who rescued my son?
Yes.
Oh my goodness...
Nice to meet you.
Oh my goodness, I'm so thankful, I don't know how to thank you.
No...
You're so pretty... Look at my manners... Please, have a seat.
Let's sit down.
- Sit here, I'll bring another chair. - Okay.
I heard over the phone how you rescued my son.
If it weren't for you...
Thinking about it even now makes my heart sink.
She's someone I know from the furniture studio.
- And she's a lawyer. - She's a lawyer?
Yes.
Father wants to meet her. Let's go to the company.
Pardon? Company?
- You didn't tell her? - No.
Our family owns Star Group.
Star Group... Then...
It's our company. My son's company.
Oh... I thought he was just running a restaurant business.
Restaurant? You must have thought it was just some small restaurant.
Gong Mi!
Please take this.
- What's this? - For your scarred arm.
It's disinfectant, a bandage, and ointment for the scar.
I don't want you to get a permanent scar.
Thank you.
There she is.
Huh?
Why did I stop walking? Why do I feel uncomfortable?
Gong Shim!
Do you know what I brought?
- Am I supposed to know? - I brought it for you.
Why are you giving that to me?
Come on, don't you want to know what this is?
This is something really nice...
I don't know what it is, but you don't need to give it to me.
It's something really nice.
What is it?
Something really, really nice.
Oh my God.
I got these from a guy who works in a wig factory.
I helped him with a lawsuit.
It's got great texture.
- This must be brand new. - So pretty, right?
- I love this style. - I love it.
I knew you would like them. Try this on.
Fits so nicely.
What do you think?
So pretty.
Just my style.
I've been putting on hair-growing cream but it's still not growing back.
That's all because of stress.
Job-searching stress... and job stress...
- How can I get rid of stress? - That's impossible.
You just have to learn to deal with it.
This would be very expensive if I were to buy them.
I saved you a lot of money, right?
I don't need them, so you can keep all of them.
I don't know if I can take them. But thank you.
The first one you tried on, this one.
I like this one.
Go to work tomorrow with this on.
No, I'm going to wear this one.
You can wear that for a change on your day off, you should wear this.
Why do you keep ordering me around? Stop. I do what I want.
Thank you for the wigs.
Right!
Those girls at work did apologize to me.
Thank you.
What's all that?
Are you playing MASH?
You think I would still be playing MASH at my age?
It looked like it.
Hey, MASH is just for fun. None of that is for real.
No, you would be surprised how accurate it is.
- It is? - Yes.
- Okay, go. - Okay.
I tried the wig you gave me yesterday. Do I look okay?
- You look pretty. - Then I'll get going.
Go make a lot of money.
I really don't like that Secretary Gong.
I hired her so she can keep an eye on your father.
She's trying to seduce you now?
You know what I'm talking about, right?
Mom, you're mistaken. She never tried to seduce me. She's not like that.
Nothing happened.
You are still going to tell me nothing happened?
At the park, on the streets, and at the theater.
This isn't right. Why are you doing this?
Why did you take these pictures?
You would have kept on denying if I hadn't done this!
I'm so disappointed in you.
You hired someone to take these pictures?
I'm going to make Secretary Gong leave the company.
No, don't do that.
I'm going to fire her immediately!
Mother, I made myself clear. Don't do anything to her.
She hasn't done anything wrong. So let her be.
I made myself clear.
Joon Soo! Joon Soo!
Director Suk!
Have a seat.
Gong Shim.
I just called you up here to see you for no special reason.
- Is that okay? - The president is not in, so it's okay.
But is something wrong?
Something bad happened?
My mom yelled at me.
Why are you laughing?
It's not funny at all.
No, it's just a little absurd.
I was worried thinking that something major happened.
But hearing that you just got yelled at by your mom
I thought it was funny.
Come on, my mom yells at me every day. I got scolded my entire life.
I'm an expert at getting scolded.
When you get scolded, you should rebel a little.
Are you telling me to talk back to her?
No, not talk back.
But you shouldn't let it affect you.
Make the one who yelled at you suffer.
That's how you rebel.
- It's my mom. - Don't pick it up.
If you pick it up, she'll yell at you again. Just ignore it.
Yeah, when you get in trouble once you are bound to get in trouble again.
So don't let it bother you until she's done being mad.
The ones who get upset after getting in trouble are foolish.
Oh.
You look like you never got in trouble, why did your mom yell at you?
- Can you teach me how to rebel? - What?
It's so easy, what is there to learn?
It's very easy, people just don't know.
Thank you. Goodbye.
You've got a great personality. Goodbye.
Don't stare at them. That's the norm here. Let's go.
Okay.
We can just kill time here until she's done being mad.
Don't think about being in trouble...
This will take your mind off of that.
But do we have to wear that, too?
Of course.
You need to wear that when you come here.
Don't worry.
Director Suk.
It's fine, you'll get used to it very soon.
I shouldn't have agreed to this.
It's okay, nobody is paying any attention to you.
Let's walk around quickly, and go.
Yes, Scholar Suk.
Come on, lift your head.
Scholars are all about being proud, lift your head.
Nice.
Wow, so beautiful.
Hey guys, can I take a picture of you?
English, no.
X.
I don't understand you.
- No. - Come on, just one picture of you.
We really like your clothes. Please?
Sorry.
Me, English. Very low.
- Eight level. - Eight what?
They want to take a picture with us.
Picture...
- Oh, picture... - Yeah.
Okay, okay. Come on.
Center.
Hey, can you take a picture for us?
Here we go.
One, two, three.
Thank you.
Bye.
Be happy.
My cell phone.
You didn't leave it in the locker when you were getting changed?
I don't think so.
This is bad, I'm waiting for an important business call.
Let me try calling.
Hello?
Yes, this is the cab driver.
Did we leave that on the cab?
Yes, I have it. You can come get it.
You have to come right now. My shift will be over soon.
Okay, thank you! We'll be there soon.
- He has it? - Yes, let's hurry.
Wearing this?
We don't have time to change our clothes.
What if you get that call?
And the cab driver might leave.
Then let's go.
Hurry...
Mister!
Wow, I didn't recognize you.
Oh, you are coming from Insa-dong.
Your cell phone.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You've got a great personality, bye.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You saved my life, Gong Shim.
I haven't done much.
But shouldn't we quickly go back to Insa-dong?
Oh...
Yes, Mr. Kim... Right now?
I need to sign it right now?
I will e-sign it then.
I know a cafe that rents out laptops.
Really?
I'll take one iced Americano. And one caramel macchiato.
Okay.
Here.
- Thank you. - Did you finish everything?
Yes, it's all thanks to you.
We can go if you feel uncomfortable.
I don't think there was ever a time when I made other people laugh so heartily.
I'm sure you've had plenty of those experiences.
They are sneering at me because I'm foolish and stupid.
No.
You have a talent for making people happy.
And thanks to you, I was able to make others happy, too.
Thank you.
No, I really didn't do anything.
Should we go?
This way, my lady.
[Step Law Office]
Yes, this is the law office.
Yes, may I speak to Ms. Chun Ji Yeon?
She's not in right now.
She's not in?
I can't get in touch with Soo Yong, either.
What do I do?
Are you talking about Mr. An Soo Yong?
Yes, that's right.
I'm Mr. Ahn Soo Yong's son.
You are Dan Tae then?
Yes.
I'm your father's friend.
Yes.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Who is it?
He was actually looking for you.
He says he's Father's friend.
Me?
But what is the big tree in Yangpyeong?
He called to say that the tree is getting pulled up.
Auntie. Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. It just slipped out.
I should clean it up.
- Hello, Mister. - Hi.
I don't see that plant I pulled all the leaves out of.
Are you looking for something specific?
Oh, this. This is pretty.
Do you sell seeds for this?
Yes, hold on.
Here you go.
Thank you, how much are they?
It's just a few seeds. I'll just give them to you.
Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- So that's the tree? - Yeah.
Your father never told you?
No, I never heard anything about that tree.
About 25 or 26 years ago, your father wanted me to sell him that tree
it wasn't as big back then.
So I sold it to him.
He gave it fertilizer, pruned it, and took such good care of that tree.
But you sold this land
and the buyer wants to build a house here, so you're going to pluck that tree?
Yeah, your father loved that tree so much.
I called to find out whether he wants to move it or what.
- I see. - Tell me when you find out.
Okay.
Dad?
No... Dad is in the Philippines.
I got it.
Oh, no... Why is this so hard?
I really want it now.
If you continue like this, it would be better to just buy the machine. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
I know I can do it now.
I want to get a cute stuffed animal for you.
I can get my own. Watch.
I'll give it to you to commemorate your rebellion.
Thanks. But how did you do that in one shot?
When I was preparing for the college exam
I worked at an arcade. I got to practice for free then.
I'll teach you later.
Make sure you teach me later.
What's all this water?
There's water everywhere!
What happened?
Oh my God.
Seriously, what happened?
Oh, no.
Water!
The pipe burst!
Thanks to you, I learned how to rebel.
I forgot all about getting yelled at by my mom.
No, hearing you say that you forgot, you haven't forgotten yet.
You'll have to work a little bit harder.
Then do you want to go eat something so yummy
it'll make you speechless and forget everything?
What's that?
[Perverter]
Perverter?
It's Attorney Ahn Dan Tae.
Oh, you should get it.
Excuse me.
- Yes. - Gong Shim.
- Where are you? - Why?
Why did you call?
There's a flood in the house. Come resolve this problem.
A flood in the house? What do you mean?
A pipe burst in the bathroom, there's water everywhere.
The whole house is covered in water.
I can't handle this alone. Come resolve this.
What can I do?
Call an expert.
Don't you know that the landlord has to repair it unless it's the tenant's fault?
I can't go right now. I'll stop by tomorrow morning.
I'm hanging up.
Hello? Gong! Gong Shim!
See? That how you rebel.
You did that to show me? You really don't need to go?
It's okay, he would have to call an expert anyway.
Let's go.
Taxi!
Gong Shim, the restaurant we are going to has the best steak in the nation.
If you eat it once, you'll know it's enough to cover the lesson fee for today.
Director Suk.
I'm sorry, but I think I should go.
I think it's my duty as the landlord to take care of the tenant's problems.
A landlord's duty?
Yes, although I'm subleasing the place, I am still the landlord.
You have to go right now?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Okay then.
Mister, can you stop the car over there?
Director Suk, go rebel!
It's hard in the beginning, but it gets easier.
- Okay. - I'll get going then.
Fighting.
Please take this.
I don't want you to get a permanent scar.
The call cannot be connected...
Joon Soo must be busy, he's not picking up his phone.
He must be in an important meeting.
I guess the two of us will just have to eat.
It would have been nice if Joon Soo were here too.
- I'm so sorry. - No, it's okay.
Thank you for understanding.
- Please bring out the food. - Yes, Madam.
I really enjoyed the meal. Thank you.
You are very welcome.
This is a scarf.
It's nothing expensive.
What's this? Payment for lunch?
Yes.
Thank you.
- Get home safely. - Thank you.
I only found out after getting home that there was money
in the makeup bag you gave me.
I was very shocked to see that it was 100 million won.
I'm not his savior. I just did what was right.
I can't take the money, so I'm returning it to you.
Please take care.
Cute girl.
What's going on? You didn't call anyone yet?
Why did you come when you said you're not coming?
Where's the pipe that burst?
- Over there. - There.
Did you take care of it?
Yeah.
Wow, you're so talented.
Where did you learn how to do that?
I had a part-time job while studying for the college exam.
- Oh... - Take out the rest of this?
Yes.
I've seen this before.
This is the one I put on your forehead, right?
Really?
Oh, right. That was it.
Why did you put this here?
I threw it out. I threw it out there.
You didn't throw it out. You stuck it on there.
I didn't stick it there.
I wanted to throw it out, but there was no garbage can, so I put it there.
If you are going to help me, clean this up.
Okay.
Oh... What's this?
- It's nothing. - I saw my name on there.
Why would I write your name here?
I saw it for sure.
- You cursed me out, right? - No, I didn't.
I know you cursed me. Give it to me!
- No. - Give it!
- No. - Give it.
Give it.
What are you doing?
What...
Give it to me.
So you did curse me out. How could you eat that?
So disgusting.
Check for yourself.
Gong Shim!
I really didn't curse you.
I didn't write anything bad, check for yourself!
Check!
Gong Shim.
Stop relaxing over there and come here.
What do you need now?
Let's step on this together.
You're doing a good job all by yourself.
I'm not asking for help because this is hard.
I'm trying to help you cool down.
If you step in here, it'll cool you down.
You think I'm a fool?
- You think you can fool me? - It's really nice and cool.
Really?
It's so cold.
So nice and cool.
It really is cold.
- I told you. - Nice.
Why am I getting so hot?
- That's enough now. - Okay, okay.
Joon Soo!
Director Suk!
I thought there was a flood, but you are doing laundry...
How did you know there was a flood?
Gong Shim told me.
- The two of you were together? - Yes.
Director Suk never rebelled against his parents.
Can you believe that?
What do you mean?
Both of you are amateurs.
- If you want to rebel... - Yeah?
You have to stay out all night.
I can't sleep here anyway because of the flooding
let's go camping somewhere.
Okay!
Gong Shim, let's go camping.
Let's do it!
I'm sorry, but I need to get permission from my parents first.
Hold on.
Hello?
Mom, I think I'm going to be late tonight...
Do whatever you want! Why are you calling me? I'm busy. Hang up!
Okay.
She said okay.
Wow.
Pork belly...
Gong Shim, you worked so hard today washing that blanket.
I'll make you a really good wrap. One is not enough. Three...
Open up.
- So hot. - Here...
You should have cooled off the meat for her. Your mistake.
That came straight off the grill, of course it's hot.
You worked so hard giving me that lessons on rebelling.
Here.
Thank you.
It's good.
He cooled off the meat already?
He cooled it off already.
Of course.
So the two of you were together today
and when Gong Shim got my call, she didn't go eat with you
but instead came to my house to help me wash the blankets.
She could have just given me a simple verbal lesson on rebelling
but instead she went to Insa-dong with me and wore hanbok
to walk around together. That's what we did.
She knew you wouldn't understand if she just told you
so she went with you since she's so nice.
Because your room was flooding
she went to your house to fulfill her duty as the landlord
since she's so nice.
- That's not it. - That's not it, either.
It's really not it.
It's so nice listening to music outside.
But why aren't you eating? Talking about something fun?
You didn't hear what we were talking about?
What were you talking about?
Good. I'm glad you didn't hear. Let's drink.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
Hand.
Who's the person and who's the dog?
So cute.
- What? - That dog.
I've wanted a dog since I was young.
But my mom doesn't like them, so I never even asked.
That's your charm.
Being nice despite being from a rich family.
But starting now
I'm going to do what I want regardless of what my mother wants.
After meeting you, I think I've changed a lot.
Why do I feel guilty as if I've ruined a perfect child?
Stop teasing me.
Hello. We want to return this.
Please sign here.
Okay.
Gong Shim.
Please check it.
What's this?
What's wrong with this picture?
Why does she look so tense?
Doesn't she look like she's ready for a battle?
Tomorrow is Gong Shim's birthday.
It'll be midnight soon.
Yeah. Why didn't she tell us?
Dan Tae, go ahead. I'm going to stop by the car.
Okay.
It really is her birthday.
- Excuse me. - Yes.
- May I use this? - Yes, go ahead.
Thank you.
Bye, Marina.
- Goodbye. - Okay, let's go.
Bye Marina.
What's taking them so long?
Gong Shim.
Happy birthday.
You got this before?
Wow, thank you so much.
I've never gotten a stuffed animal on my birthday. Thank you.
This is so cute.
After you left, I went back to get it.
Thank you.
Gong Shim.
What's that?
- Dirt. - Dirt?
Happy birthday.
I've never gotten dirt as a gift, either.
There are seeds inside. They'll sprout by tomorrow.
- What kind of seed? - I won't tell you.
If you are curious, grow it and see.
We need to sing her the birthday song.
No... I think that would be too embarrassing.
Don't do it.
I'm going to sing it louder then.
Start.
- Happy birthday to you... - Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Gong Shim. Happy birthday to you.
Thank you.
Madam, Attorney Ahn Dan Tae is here.
Proceed as we discussed.
You may go.
We will proceed and get back to you with the results.
- Oh, Attorney Ahn Dan Tae. - Yes.
You are the chairwoman's attorney?
- Yes, that's right. - I see.
Let's have some warm iced coffee sometime.
Take care then.
Chairwoman. Have you been well?
It's an expected growth montage of Joon Pyo
based on his picture from the time he went missing.
Then this is what Joon Pyo would look like right now?
It won't be a perfect match.
But it will be helpful in finding Joon Pyo.
I've registered this picture in all the police stations too.
Anything else?
Madam, it normally takes over three weeks to get this montage.
I rushed a detective friend of mine to get it as soon as possible.
Don't feel too rushed.
You'll exhaust yourself before you even find Joon Pyo.
Yeah.
Oh, did you think about the butterfly I mentioned to you?
Well, there's nothing I can think of.
This is the picture of Joon Pyo on the day he went missing.
Butterfly-shaped bow tie.
I'll get going then.
- Okay. - Okay.
- What brings you here? - I think I left my cell phone here.
Oh, here it is.
I'll get going then.
Madame, I brought the accounting files for you.
Give it to me.
Stay there for a little bit.
Yes, Madam.
Insa-dong costume rental... Yeouido cafe... Camp site?
- Secretary Gong. - Yes.
Were you in Insa-dong yesterday?
Yes, I was there.
Did you go to a camp site yesterday, too?
Yes, I did.
Did you go with Director Suk Joon Soo?
Yes, with him and another friend...
At Insa-dong, we were alone, but three of us went to the camping site.
So you were with Director Suk last night?
- Well, it wasn't just the two of us. - Am I right or wrong?
You are right.
What did you say?
You were with my son all last night?
This is insane.
Secretary Gong. Resign from the company right now.
Pardon?
Don't show your face to Director Suk!
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
What are you waiting for? I told you to get out!
I can't stand to see you, pack up, and get out!
People with money and power can do whatever they want?
What did you say?
You can just cut off anything in your way, right?
Simple and easy, right?
Get out. Get out before I drag you out.
Yes, I'm leaving. I'll leave on my own.
Even if I try to stay, I know you'll kick me out.
It's all futile.
I've had plenty of experience to know that.
But just know this.
It may be nothing for you to cut someone off.
But for the one being cut, it feels like their life is coming to an end.
If you don't understand, I'll make it simple for you.
Don't live your life that way.
Stop going around like you're all that.
We all eat and poop. We are all human.
I'm a human being too.
What a rude girl!
The weather's so damn nice.
[Home]
- Hello? - Gong Shim, it's your birthday.
I'll get dinner ready for you, so come home after work.
Gong Shim, we are going to make your favorite
spicy squid and pork belly.
Let's drink soju together. Come home right after work.
I'm busy right now, I'm hanging up.
Mother. You met with Secretary Gong, right?
Did you fire her?
- Joon Soo. - Last night you said you'd fire her!
You're making her suffer because of me.
I didn't fire her, she walked out herself.
She said she doesn't like being a secretary. Happy?
I'm so disappointed in you.
Joon Soo!
The phone is turned off...
Gong Shim, where are you? Call me when you check this message.
Gong Shim, let's talk. I'm waiting for your call.
Director, you have five minutes until the presentation.
You need to go.
The buyers are waiting for you.
Okay, I'll be there soon.
[Ahn Dan Tae]
Yes, Joon Soo, what is it?
Gong Shim quit her job and disappeared.
What? What are you talking about?
I think something happened at the company.
Her phone is turned off, and I don't know where she is.
I can't go look for her right now, so I called you.
Could you please go look for her?
Okay, let's hang up. I'll look for her.
Okay.
Gong Shim!
Where is she? I checked everywhere.
Gong Shim!
Gong Shim.
What is it? Why are you so happy to see me?
No, it's nothing.
What happened to you?
Don't you think your feet are way too dirty?
I didn't know.
That's why I've been telling you to get your head on straight.
Okay, I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize to me.
What's wrong with this?
What do you mean?
It's not sprouting.
It will bud soon, just wait a little bit.
You told me yesterday.
That it will start sprouting tomorrow.
It has to sprout in order for the flower to come out.
I've been watering it so diligently.
I'm watering it a hundred, a thousand times better.
So why is it not sprouting?
Gong Shim.
Something's wrong with the seed in there, right?
No matter how much I try
it's bound to die buried in the dirt like that.
Gong Shim, why are you saying that?
It's just like me.
No matter how hard I try, it's all useless.
It's just like me.
No matter how hard I try, it's all useless.
----
Gong Shim resigned from Star Group?
It's okay, I got another job.
- Director Suk. - Gong Shim.
- Can I like you? - Why would someone like you like me?
- I just like you. - What's been on your mind?
- Tell me. - You see...
How can you do this? Think about it again.
What do I do?
I'll just be selfish, and tell you how I feel.
If you go, I don't think I'll be okay.
