I have a child.
Pardon?
I have a son.
You have a son?
Did you get married young?
No.
(Interviewers)
Then...
Are you...
a single mother?
Yes.
How old is your son?
He's nine.
Then you probably had to give up college because of your son.
Correct.
I'm sorry, baby.
But I can't...
give up on my future because of you.
I'm sorry.
If you got into the fashion program at Kyungseo University,
it means you had good grades.
Didn't you feel like you were giving up on your future because of your child?
No, not at all.
I always wanted to be a fashion designer,
but I thought being a good mother was more important.
I can always go back to school.
But for my son, I was all he had.
What about now?
Do you not regret that decision?
No, not even one bit.
I see.
It mustn't have been easy to tell us this.
Thank you for your honesty.
No problem.
Ms. Song, tell us about your family.
Ms. Kim, who do you think they'll hire?
I think they'll pick Song Chae Young. What about you?
Seo Dong Hee.
No way.
Why? If you just look at their portfolios,
she's as skilled as Song Chae Young is.
Yes, exactly.
Since their skills are on the same level,
the interviewers will look at their other qualifications.
Qualifications matter, but diligence is equally important.
Thank you both.
We'll let you know as soon as we make our decision,
so please wait for our call.
- Sure. - Sure.
Ms. Seo, just a moment.
Yes?
If you get this job,
will you have a hard time because of your kid?
You may have to work late.
No, it will be fine.
I've been staying with my aunt,
and she offered to look after him.
Really? Okay. You can go.
Okay, goodbye.
(Interviewers)
You shouldn't have asked her that question.
- Why not? - Why give her false hope?
Do you want to hire Seo Dong Hee?
If you're okay with it.
Gosh, I don't like her. What should we do?
Let's think about this more carefully.
How about we talk about it over dinner this evening?
Sure, let's do that.
Hi, Him Chan. It's Mom.
I got everything done.
How about we go visit Mr. Jang at the dumpling shop?
Really? I miss Mr. Jang. I'd love to, Mom.
Then I'll pick you up from school. Wait for me.
Okay.
My gosh, Ms. Choi. You have such a nice swing posture.
Oh, please. I'm just doing what I learned.
Did you study ballet?
How did you know?
Did you tell her?
No. I didn't even know that you studied ballet.
I can tell from the way you walk.
Everyone who studied ballet stands out because of their good posture.
What did you study in school?
Did you major in something fashion-related?
What makes you think that?
Because you have a good fashion sense.
My gosh, thank you. I'm flattered.
I didn't study fashion,
but my daughter is a fashion designer.
You may know her.
Me?
My daughter manages the design team at Inha Fashion.
Really? I didn't know.
Ms. Jung, why didn't you tell me?
My gosh. I had no idea either.
Is there anything you know?
What's your daughter's name?
Seung Ju, Baek Seung Ju.
I see. I remember overhearing my husband and Director Kang...
talk about Ms. Baek a few times.
She's your daughter.
Director Kang?
Yes, my elder son.
You mean, Director Kang Sung Wook?
How do you know my son's name?
I happened to see his name on my daughter's phone the other day.
It looked like they had dinner together.
He texted her to make sure that she got home safely.
When I saw that, I thought he was very caring and considerate.
It's no surprise that he comes from such a good family.
Is that right?
What does your husband do?
He works in real estate development.
In the US.
He works in real estate development in the US?
Yes. Let's go inside.
Let's go.
Grandpa Jang!
My gosh! Look who's here.
Him Chan, my sweet pumpkin!
- Did you come alone? - I'm here too.
Hey, you're here too.
Welcome.
Were you prepping the green onions?
Yes, I was.
Hey, leave it. Your hands will smell like green onions.
It's fine. I don't care.
Anyway, what brings you by? You didn't even call.
I just wanted to see you.
Him Chan missed you too.
My goodness. Really?
You missed me, Him Chan?
Yes! Didn't you miss me?
I did, of course.
I missed you so much that I nearly cried.
I haven't seen you in a while, Him Chan. What can I buy you?
Is there anything you want to eat?
Your dumplings.
That's it? My goodness.
If you're saying it to be considerate, you really don't need to do that.
No, I really want to eat the dumplings that you made.
Really?
Okay. Then go to the kitchen and ask Auntie to cook some for you.
She'll be very happy to see you.
- Okay! - All right, go.
(Hana Dumplings)
So? Is it nice to stay with your aunt and her family?
Yes, it is very nice. They all adore Him Chan.
My goodness. I wish you had gotten in touch with them sooner.
Right. You said you applied to Inha Fashion. How did it go?
Have you heard from them?
I actually had an in-person interview earlier today.
You did?
If you had an in-person interview,
it means there's a good chance that you'll get the job.
I don't think I'll get the job.
What? Why not?
The other applicants are highly qualified.
And? What else?
In any case, I'm happy I had the experience.
Did you tell them about Him Chan?
Yes.
My aunt told me not to,
but I had to tell them.
Right, I get it.
Him Chan is your everything.
You did the right thing.
Knowing how you are, the guilt would've haunted you...
if you hadn't told them about him.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
I guess this was why I wanted to see you today.
I knew you'd understand me.
My goodness.
The other day, someone said I made him feel comfortable because I understood him.
Today, you're saying the same thing.
The other day? Who?
Just someone. A troublemaker.
This time, it's someone else.
Aren't you here because of the accident that happened years ago?
Did someone else...
come here?
Of course.
His sister comes here every year to give out flyers.
Flyers?
To find the hit-and-run driver.
Really?
Anyway, who are you?
She told me...
that she was his only family.
Are you his friend?
Sorry, I have to go.
The victim's family is still looking for us?
How's the steak?
I love the steak here.
Do you come here often?
I did, back in college.
Really?
How come I never saw you here?
I came here often back in college too.
So who's your pick between the two applicants?
You want to talk about work already?
Well...
I like Song Chae Young better in all aspects.
She's not bad.
But what's the problem?
Why do you want to hire Seo Dong Hee?
Is it because you pity her?
I'm not foolish enough to let my personal feelings affect work.
Right.
Pardon my rudeness.
Did I offend you?
No, not at all.
I just wanted you to know that. That's all.
I want to hire Seo Dong Hee...
because I think...
she's a better fit for our brand based on her portfolio.
Song Chae Young's designs are a bit too avant-garde.
That is true, but don't you think it's her strength?
It tells me that she's more creative and adventurous.
Besides, we can't ignore the fact that she's more qualified for the job.
It could be seen as reverse discrimination.
Most importantly,
it does concern me that Seo Dong Hee is a single mother.
There are some things that tell you everything about that person.
It's not common for a high school girl to get pregnant and give birth.
That's true.
But if you want to hire her,
go for it.
No. You're the one with the decision-making power,
so I'll follow your decision.
Are you sure you're okay with that?
Yes, of course.
Then let's go with Song Chae Young.
Okay. I'll give her a call and tell her to start next week.
Sounds good.
So? You told them about Him Chan?
Yes.
Then you're not getting the job.
Something else will come along.
It's not like there are no other companies.
You did the right thing, Dong Hee.
What's wrong with a mother talking about her child?
I'll be upstairs.
All right. Get some rest.
Who does she take after? She really needs to be more flexible.
It's not something she can hide even if she tries.
Why not? She can hide it if she wants to.
Don't be like that.
If you keep this up, she may leave with Him Chan again.
Hey, Kim Tae Pyung. Are you out of your mind?
What? It turned out nicely.
It turned out nicely?
Are you kidding me? You think this is nice?
A perm can't look nicer than this.
Do you want tighter curls?
Then let's do it again.
Why you little...
How can I go out looking like this?
Why are you even worried about that?
You never go out anyway.
You're always stuck at home trying to write.
Hey, Kim Tae Pyung. Watch your mouth.
- What's wrong? - What's going on, Jung Eun?
Jung Eun, what happened?
You know what happened. Must you ask?
This is all Tae Pyung's fault.
Hey, did you actually learn how to do this?
Of course. I watched all the tutorials online.
It would've looked perfect if I had taken off the rods ten minutes earlier.
Perfect, my foot.
This is all your fault.
You said you suddenly had a good idea and asked me to wait ten minutes.
You little...
My gosh, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't laugh.
Don't just laugh.
Do something, Ja Young.
You just got the perm done today, so you can't get rid of it right away.
It'll damage your hair a lot.
I don't care.
Myung Sook said it'd be better to just shave my head.
Mother said that? My goodness.
Come to the salon tomorrow.
I'll try to fix it for you.
Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
Kim Tae Pyung. Of course, you'd mess up like this.
Mom, what's so funny?
Hey, your dad got himself in trouble again.
He totally ruined Auntie Jung Eun's hair.
Oh, no.
He has to get a hairstyling license.
I don't care what you say. I'll never get back together with him,
so give up already.
Mom, why do you hate Dad so much?
He's good-looking and has a great sense of humor.
Just because he doesn't make a lot of money?
"Just because?"
You think it's so easy because I earn money...
and give you plenty of pocket money.
You give me "plenty" of pocket money?
You only give me three dollars a week. You call that "plenty?"
That should be more than enough for an elementary school kid.
Why would you need more than that?
This is why I like Dad more.
Dad may not make a lot of money,
but he spends it all on me whenever he earns money.
Hey. If he keeps spending like that,
he'll be dead broke soon!
I can't win an argument with her anymore.
You're sure about that, right?
- I'm home. - Hey.
Did you have dinner?
Of course. It's way past dinnertime.
Did something good happen today?
No. Why?
You seem to be in a good mood today.
Did you have dinner with Ms. Baek?
How did you know, Mom?
The intelligent lady who is great at her job...
and speaks fluent English. Was that Ms. Baek?
Mom, how do you know?
She played golf with Ms. Baek's mother today.
Really? How do you know her mother?
Did you know her from before?
No. It's a long story.
Anyway, what do you like about her so much?
You don't need a reason to like someone.
They say it only takes three seconds to fall for someone.
Is that what happened?
Well, I did think she was very likable when I first met her,
but I find her very inspiring.
Inspiring? So she's not just a pretty face?
She's not afraid to speak up,
but she also respects other people's opinions.
She's well-mannered.
And I think her family is well-off.
Is that what she said? That her family was well-off.
She didn't have to say anything.
I can tell from her demeanor and the way she moves and talks.
All right, that's enough.
So? Do you want to date her?
Yes, I want to.
Let me do some research. Don't rush into it.
Research on what?
You already met her mother.
I only met her once, so who knows?
Just leave it to Sung Wook. Don't try to meddle in it.
Just let me handle all things related to Sung Wook's marriage.
Stop trying to pick a fight with me.
Of course.
His sister comes here every year to give out flyers.
To find the hit-and-run driver.
Hey, who did you have dinner with?
I had a great time today.
Thank you for respecting my opinion.
I'll see you tomorrow at work. Sweet dreams.
Who is it?
You don't need to know.
Director Kang?
How did you know?
I know everything you're up to.
Goodness.
What are you waiting for? Text him back.
(Okay.)
Are you out of your mind?
Who sends such a cold one-word answer?
It's none of your business!
Goodness.
If he asks you what your father does,
tell him that he works in real estate development in the US.
What do you mean?
What do you think?
If you start seeing each other, he'll ask you about your family.
If he does, just say that.
Why do I have to tell such a lie?
Then what? Will you tell him that your father's been in and out of jail?
- Mom! - Don't ask me!
I don't know how it happened, but that's what I said.
I played golf with his mother today.
Did you just get home?
Yes.
How much did you drink? You can barely walk.
I'm sorry.
Is Cha Yeol home?
Yes.
Make him a cup of honey tea.
Did he drink a lot?
He can barely walk.
I wonder if something's going on with him.
Drink this before you fall asleep.
I'll leave it here.
Drink it later.
She's still looking for us.
What do you mean?
Who are you talking about?
The victim's sister...
is still looking for us.
What have you been up to?
Did you go to Taean?
Did you go back to the scene?
Don't worry.
I ran away like a coward.
My goodness.
- You're here. - Where is Ms. Kim?
I'm here. What is it, Ms. Baek?
Can you get me Song Chae Young's number?
Why do you need her phone number?
Are we hiring her as an intern?
- Yes. - My gosh.
That's great. You made the right decision, Ms. Baek.
Let's see.
It's perfect.
Are you going somewhere?
Someone asked me to make him a cardigan.
I finally finished it, so I'm going to drop it off.
Really?
Show me. I want to see how good you are.
Don't expect anything special though.
It's just a cardigan.
Show me.
My gosh.
You made this?
What do you think? Does it look okay?
It looks great.
Put a label here, and everyone will think it's from a designer boutique.
Really?
Goodness. I can't believe that company didn't recognize your talent.
Inha Fashion or whatever it's called. They're bound to fail.
Oh, please.
- I'll take it. - Here. Oh, no.
Hold on.
Who's calling?
I think it's Inha Fashion.
Really? You should answer it.
Okay.
Hello?
Ms. Seo Dong Hee? This is Baek Seung Ju.
Yes. Hello, Ms. Baek.
Why did you call me?
I wanted to let you know our decision.
I see.
Thank you for calling.
Congratulations, Ms. Seo.
Sorry? What do you mean?
We want you to be our new intern.
Me?
I got the internship?
What? Really?
You can start next week.
Okay, Ms. Baek.
Thank you. Thank you so much!
Auntie Myung Sook!
(Bravo, My Life)
Congratulations, Dong Hee.
Marrying him...
would be like hitting the jackpot.
I never asked you to look out for me.
What's done can't be undone.
Why did Cha Yeol suddenly decide to join the company?
Ms. Baek.
I thought you were coming solo, but you brought this beautiful lady.
Thanks for today.
This had better not happen again.
