(Episode 17)
I'm home.
Mom.
Hi. Him Chan, were you drawing?
Yes.
You're back.
I thought you'd have a team dinner since it was your first day.
Didn't they throw a welcome party for you?
We couldn't have a party because of someone.
Who?
It's not important. He's just a pain.
I'm worried that you already have a problem with your colleague.
I'm sure it'll get better over time.
You must be hungry.
Yes, a little.
Did you not eat enough food for lunch?
I didn't get to eat anything.
Why? Did they make you work without giving you time for lunch?
No, it wasn't like that.
It just happened that way.
- That's weird. - Gosh.
Anyway, go wash up. Dinner is almost ready.
Yes, Auntie Myung Sook.
Him Chan, what are you drawing?
You think bending over backward for others makes you socially savvy?
Then keep letting others walk over you.
I wasn't letting anyone walk over me.
Jae Seok, today was my first day at work.
But someone at work ruined my mood.
Everything is perfect except for him.
The senior manager is so nice.
But I can pull it off, right?
Cheer for me from above, okay?
Dong Hee, come downstairs and eat dinner.
Okay.
Oh, right. Did you hire Seo Dong Hee?
Yes. Why?
No reason.
I'm just wondering how she got the job...
when she used to make deliveries.
She's as good as those with a fashion degree.
Oh, I see. Is she?
How do you know she used to work a delivery job?
What?
Oh, that.
Something ridiculous happened between us.
What?
Was it you?
What do you mean by that?
Our team members told me...
that someone took Dong Hee's scooter when she came to deliver dumplings.
Really?
My gosh. What a coincidence.
Maybe it's not just a coincidence, but you two were meant to meet again.
What... Come on. Don't say that.
That sounds just terrifying. Gosh.
Don't be like that.
Dong Hee is a nice person.
She is honest and has a strong sense of responsibility.
Gosh. You're complimenting her when you don't know her so well.
I'm a new hire just like her. Don't favor her over me.
That would hurt my feelings. My gosh.
What is it?
Nothing. Eat up.
By the way, aren't you married yet?
What about you? Are you married?
No. Of course, I'm not married.
But why aren't you married yet?
Why aren't you married yet?
I have nothing to say.
Aren't you seeing anyone either?
I'm not interested. I'm better off alone.
I feel the same way. I can do whatever I want.
My point exactly.
You're the only one whom I can talk to as always.
Are you working out?
Yes.
Cha Yeol is getting late.
Is he having a team dinner?
I don't care if he's having a team dinner.
Why are you getting all annoyed with me?
Did something happen?
Are you here to ask that?
I heard that he seemed to adjust well to his new job.
Did Dad say that?
He bothers me so much.
I'm bothered by you more when you say that.
What did you just say?
He says he'll go back to the US a year later.
So just leave him be.
I already told you...
that Cha Yeol wasn't an easy fight.
Bear that in mind, and stay alert.
Do you understand?
Hey, did you just get home?
Yes.
Did you eat with your colleagues?
No.
Then?
I met a friend.
Who?
Well, never mind. Rest up.
Did you want to let everyone know that you're my brother?
What are you talking about?
A mere new hire can't be that rude to the executive director.
You should've encouraged the new hire...
as you should as the executive director.
- What? - Did you really have to say that...
when she was thanking you for hiring her?
So?
Are you saying you did nothing wrong?
I'm saying that I won't act that way if you behave reasonably.
Gosh, that punk.
I managed to fool her this time.
But I'm worried about what's next.
I'm home.
Hi. Did you go on a date with Director Kang?
No.
Then who did you eat with? You seem to be in a good mood.
Did you have dinner?
Of course, I did. Don't change the subject.
Who did you eat with?
A friend.
A friend? Hey.
Gosh, you should've gone on a date with Director Kang.
Why did you waste your time meeting a friend?
How many times have I told you that nothing was going on between us?
By any chance...
Is it because of your past?
What do you mean by that?
I mean, if you're afraid he might find out that you have had a baby...
Mom!
Gosh, you startled me.
When did I have a baby?
- What? - When did I have a baby?
What is the matter with you? You're scaring me.
Listen to me carefully.
I have never had a baby.
Got it?
Answer me.
Okay, got it.
You have never had a baby.
Good. Leave now.
She's my daughter,
but I feel put off by her when she acts like that.
That being said, I wonder if her child is doing well.
Director Kang, I'll do my best.
I mean, thank you for hiring me.
In that case, you should thank Ms. Baek.
We hired you because she strongly recommended you.
Oh, I see.
He could've just encouraged her even if he didn't mean it.
I didn't ask him to side with me.
Mom, what did Dad do?
Your dad? Why are you asking that all of a sudden?
Great-aunt Myung Sook said that I'm smart just like Dad.
Did she?
Yes.
She's right about that. You're so much like your dad.
You're smart and kind, just like him.
Was my dad kind?
Absolutely. He was really kind.
He would've become a great lawyer if he hadn't passed away.
Helping the powerless as a lawyer...
was your dad's dream.
Then how about I become a great lawyer when I grow up, Mom?
Will you?
Yes, I will become a great lawyer and help the powerless...
as my dad dreamed of.
That's so sweet.
If you do that,
your dad will be very happy from above.
Here you go.
What is this, Father?
It's parked in front of the house.
Use it to commute to work starting today.
Did you buy a car for Cha Yeol?
Yes. Why?
You should've discussed it with me before deciding.
Why should I have discussed it with you? That car didn't cost so much.
Did you ask him for it?
I bought it because I wanted to.
I asked Cha Yeol, not you.
You tell me. Did you ask him to buy you a car?
No.
Really?
I told you it was my decision. What's your problem?
I'll get going now, Father.
You don't want to talk to me? Is that it?
Are you looking down on me?
It's not like that.
If not, sit down.
Why are you adding to it?
Stay out of this.
Dad.
Do not bring this matter up again.
Why would you make a big deal out of it first thing in the morning?
Cha Yeol, get going now.
What now?
Mom, I'm off.
Come in for a second.
Why?
Aren't you upset that your dad always sides with him?
I am, but what can I do about it?
He says I'm petty when I complain about it.
What?
So you and I should be smarter when it comes to that matter.
I'll eat dinner before coming home today.
With whom? With Ms. Baek?
Yes. See you later.
You're early.
Thank you for yesterday.
I'm grateful to you for siding with me.
You weren't very helpful though.
I didn't do that to help you.
I did it because it made me feel small too.
What did you say?
All right, then. I don't want to argue with you.
We have to see each other every day.
Do you want us to be uncomfortable around each other forever?
I want us to make peace with each other.
Can't you hear me?
I'm not uncomfortable with the way things are.
Whatever you want to do, do it without me.
Seriously, what's his problem?
Mom, is Auntie Jung Eun in her room?
Yes. Why are you looking for her?
To give her this.
What's that?
A face mask.
You ungrateful brat.
How come I don't get anything?
Are you getting married?
What?
You want Auntie Jung Eun to marry the dumpling shop owner.
Is that why you got the face mask for her?
Yes.
What has gotten into you? You were against the idea.
I thought about it, and realized that an age gap wouldn't matter.
Many celebrities marry someone...
who's more than 12 years older than they are.
Exactly. Now you get it.
Then help me convince her, okay?
But she's not the only problem.
Do you think the dumpling shop owner will like her?
She's not very attractive.
What are you talking about? She's charming.
Come on. She doesn't look so attractive from a man's perspective.
That's why she has never dated anyone until now.
Come to think of it, she's never brought her boyfriend home.
She might have a chance if she still worked as a public servant.
The dumpling shop owner is the best option considering her current situation, right?
Absolutely.
Unless she makes her debut as a writer.
But it seems to me that she has no chance to make it either.
Really?
My script has been selected?
- That's right. - Jung Ho! Myung Sook! I won.
I won the drama script contest.
- What? - Really? Are you serious?
Yes, it's true, Jung Ho.
That's great. Congratulations, Jung Eun.
- Great job. - Congratulations, Jung Eun.
- I knew you would become a writer. - Exactly.
Me too. How much do you get for the prize?
The prize is 100,000 dollars.
That's amazing. You'll give me an allowance, right?
Of course. I'll give you 1,000 dollars.
You must be excited.
And I'll give each of you 10,000 dollars.
- My goodness. - What?
That's a lot of money.
Thank you, Jung Eun. You're the best.
Honey, don't just sit here, and start preparing a party.
Right, Mom. Hurry up.
Okay. I'll go out and buy a lot of meat.
Sounds great.
Get a lot of meat.
Congratulations, Jung Eun.
Congratulations.
- It's hard to believe. - This is amazing.
Jung Eun, are you taking a nap?
Wake up.
She must've fallen asleep so deeply.
Gosh. Darn it.
It was a dream.
Did you have a dream?
It doesn't matter.
What's up?
Come here and lie down. I'll apply a face mask to your face.
Why should I do that?
Have you seen yourself in the mirror?
People might think you're older than me.
No way. Don't be ridiculous.
I'm fine. There's no one I should impress anyway.
That's not true.
What?
Well, I'm just saying.
Just lie down as I said.
I heard this was an expensive product.
Then use it for yourself.
Please leave now.
I have to finish writing this.
Keep writing scripts that no one will read.
Gosh. Myung Sook.
All right.
I'll leave this face mask here.
Make sure to apply it after finishing writing it.
Gosh, seriously.
I didn't ask for a face mask.
Why did she wake me up? I was having a good dream.
It was so nice.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
If it gets clogged again, I'll replace the drain pipe.
- So let me know. - Thank you.
No problem. I'll get going now.
See you... Wait, Mr. Jang.
Yes? What is it?
What do you think of her?
Well...
My, she looks so pretty.
Do you like her?
Pardon?
Her name is Eun Ji. She's my best friend who's a hairdresser.
She's 40.
Oh, I see. But why are you asking?
She's single.
How about I set you up with her?
What?
Goodness gracious. Don't say that.
I may not look my age, but I'm actually 60. Didn't you know that?
I know that you're 60.
What?
She said she didn't care about the age.
My goodness. Anyway, I'll forget that you asked.
Have a good day.
- But Mr. Jang... - My gosh.
He's quite picky unlike the way he looks.
The theme for the fall, winter season is the sunset on a West Sea beach.
It would suit fall color schemes. I like the idea.
Shouldn't we have some grilled clams on a West Sea beach?
You know we don't have time for that.
Ms. Kim and Jong Min, start finding suitable images for the concept.
And Dong Hee, can you bring the materials from last year's fall, winter season?
Designs from last year?
Why? Is there a problem?
Yesterday, I saw that the materials from last year weren't organized properly.
Is that so?
Then can you organize the materials with Cha Yeol first?
With me?
I can do it by myself, Ms. Baek.
I want you two to work together.
So that you can finish it quickly and start learning how things work.
Understood.
(Designs for 2021 by season)
(Designs for 2021 for archival purposes)
You just had to ask for more work, didn't you?
Are you talking to me?
Why would you say that they were not organized...
Why? Gosh.
I said that because it was true.
What else should I have said?
That's why I'm saying you asked for more work.
Don't do it if you don't want to. I can do it all by myself.
She told us to finish this quickly.
Then just zip it and start working on it.
You still think you did the right thing?
I've done nothing wrong.
Let's organize the materials in the boxes that each of us brought.
Gosh, this is so much work.
So did you get some information?
She turned out to be much wealthier than I thought.
Where does she live?
You know Secret Palace, right?
She lives there?
Yes, she does.
Did you go inside too?
Of course, I did.
Then...
where in the US is her husband's business located?
Hye Ran says that he builds and sells resorts in Florida.
Really?
Well... Do you consider her daughter...
as your future eldest daughter-in-law?
Or else, why would I want to know about her family?
I'll pay you handsomely if this goes well.
So don't blindly trust your friend.
Keep looking into her.
Of course, Ms. Choi.
(Designs for 2021 for archival purposes)
I'm going to get a cup of coffee. Do you want some too?
I'm good.
Why am I doing this?
It doesn't seem to end.
Have you finished organizing the materials?
Not yet. I'm here to get a cup of coffee.
Go ahead.
Yes, Mr. Kang.
You didn't forget about the dinner tonight, right?
- No. - I'm going to make a reservation.
I want to take you to a place you like.
Is there any place you want to go?
No, no place in particular.
Then I'll find a place and text you.
I'll see you then.
Yes, sir.
Wait. Why is there so much left...
Did you switch the boxes?
Well, we're doing this because of you.
What are you doing?
You know what I'm doing.
We agreed to finish one box each.
You decided that on your own.
I never agreed to it.
Let go of it now.
You said you would do it all by yourself.
You said we should finish this quickly.
You're doing it faster than I do, so take up more work.
No.
Let go.
Let go of it while I'm asking nicely.
You think you're strong enough to beat me?
You don't think I can beat you?
You're quite strong.
Let go of the box right now.
I can't do that.
Let go already.
You should give up.
- Let go. - No.
- I said, let go. - You let go.
Gosh, you're so petty.
Oh, no. Are you hurt?
Let me see. Is it bad?
Go away.
Go see a doctor now.
I'll take care of this without you.
- Make sure to see a doctor, okay? - Okay.
I feel bad. I should've let him do as he wanted.
Good luck finishing that alone.
I think you didn't like the food.
I saw you left a lot on your plate.
No. I enjoyed it.
About that day...
I'd like to apologize to you properly.
You apologized that day, and that was good enough.
You don't have to apologize again.
I thought you would like it.
All of the girls I dated before...
got excited when I introduced them to my friends.
I've dated many girls.
I have enough dating experience.
Go on.
And I concluded...
that all women were the same.
I thought that way.
What are you trying to say?
But you proved me wrong.
Ms. Baek Seung Ju.
Then you must be wrong about me.
There's nothing special about me.
I'll be the judge of that.
What happened that day...
made me sure that I had been right about you.
- Mr. Kang. - Go out with me.
Let's start dating.
(Bravo, My Life)
- My aunt wants to invite you. - Me?
He's not married.
Whoever marries him would be so lucky.
Lucky, my foot.
Are there any units of Secret Palace out on the market?
She always asks for more work.
Let's find some images of the West Sea first.
Why don't you visit the website of the Korean Photography Association?
