(Episode 50)
Are you staying late to work on what I was supposed to do...
so I could leave on time?
Why? Are you touched?
So? Have you finished everything?
No. I'm not even halfway through yet.
What about dinner? Have you eaten yet?
No. I had no time. I barely have enough time to finish this.
So you even skipped dinner to work on this?
Skipping one meal is no big deal.
Don't do this. Just go home and have dinner.
I'll finish the rest.
What are you talking about? Why don't we just work on it together?
I can't go home alone and leave you here.
Just hand over the report and the file.
I'll do the rest. You really should get going.
No, I can't.
I'll read it out to you. You can enter it into the spreadsheet.
You need to go home soon too.
Him Chan must be waiting.
Okay, let's finish it quickly and go home.
Okay.
Where was I?
Right here.
"Jeans."
Jeans.
- It's a hundred. - One hundred.
"Dress with straps."
- Thirty. - Thirty.
"Jacket."
You need to have a proper meal. Not stuff like this.
It's okay. This will fill me up.
And it's fast, so you can go home soon.
This is the best solution.
Thanks for this.
Is it good?
Yes, it's good. Do you want one?
No, I'm good.
Have one. It's tasty.
No, it's all yours.
Then I'm going to eat it all.
Yes, go for it.
You got it all over your mouth.
Where? Here?
No, here.
I would've had to stay up all night to finish it.
Thanks for coming to my rescue.
I should be the one thanking you.
Thanks so much for doing that for me,
but don't do this again. Okay?
Him Chan must be asleep now, right?
I'd love to see him if he's still awake,
but it's too late.
Then I'll get going. Go on in.
Okay. Drive safely.
I will.
Did you have to go somewhere?
Uncle Jung Ho.
Did something happen at work?
Yes. Why are you out here? You should be in bed.
I took a long nap earlier in the day, so I can't fall asleep.
Anyway, it sounded like someone walked you home.
Was it that guy?
What?
Your aunt told me about the guy who has a crush on you.
Was it him?
Yes.
And how do you feel about him?
Do you like him too?
Do you?
I am afraid that I'd fall for him.
Why? Because his situation is completely different from yours?
Yes.
Your aunt was worried about that too,
but I don't agree.
I've lived long enough to know...
that how you feel is more important...
than your surroundings.
If his feelings are sincere, and if you like him too,
I think you should pluck up the courage and open up to him.
If you truly love each other,
you should be able to overcome any hurdle that comes your way.
Do you really think so?
Yes, of course.
As they say, "Love conquers all."
Also,
you have to be happy for Him Chan's sake.
Only then will he be happy.
Right?
I'll remember your advice.
Thank you, Uncle Jung Ho.
All right. Let's go inside.
Okay.
You got home safely, right?
Thank you so much for everything today.
Sleep well. I'll see you tomorrow.
You should meet this young lady.
Mom.
She comes from a family of teachers.
And their family motto is, "Be honest."
In other words, Ms. Baek's family that lies about everything...
doesn't even compare with her family.
Then what about our family?
What?
Then she's also too good for our family.
Hey, Kang Sung Wook.
What do you mean? She's too good for our family?
Are you saying that we're liars too?
You brat. Watch what you say!
I get that you're head over heels for Ms. Baek now,
but how could you say such a thing?
In any case,
I won't give up on Seung Ju. Don't try to change my mind.
Then,
give up your executive director title.
Dad.
Honey.
If you're going to ignore your parents and do whatever you want,
quit your job too.
I don't want to pass the business down to someone who only does what he wants.
You and I will talk about this later.
Honey. You didn't actually mean what you just said, right?
I'm sure you said it just to make him give up on her, like you did last time.
No. This time, I really mean it.
If he's not going to give up on Ms. Baek,
I don't want to make him my successor.
That's nonsense.
Then who will be your successor if it's not going to be Sung Wook?
Don't tell me it'll be Cha Yeol.
Why not? Why can't it be him?
Honey.
Honey!
I can't believe this.
Seriously, why are you being like this?
Do you really want to be kicked out of the company?
You'll have to persuade Dad.
What did you say?
Seung Ju has forgiven you, fully knowing what you did to her.
So if you have a conscience, you need to just let it go.
And you should persuade Dad.
You brat.
If you don't want to see me getting kicked out of the company,
you need to get it sorted out.
I will not give up on Seung Ju.
Hey, Sung Wook!
This wasn't my plan at all.
How did things turn out this way?
See you later.
We'll get going.
All right.
Let's go.
Honey, what are you doing?
I'm washing the dishes.
I don't need you to do the dishes.
Just leave it.
Goodness. I can do it.
Take off the gloves.
- Here. - My goodness.
If you're bored, go watch some TV.
Oh, boy.
Here, Ms. Kim.
Great, thanks.
Did you and Cha Yeol work on this together?
Yes.
Thank you, Cha Yeol.
I didn't even do much.
Still.
And if I ever hurt your feelings in the past,
please forget all about it because it wasn't intentional.
Okay?
What's with you? You're making me uncomfortable.
Am I? I was just trying to patch things up.
I apologize if I made you uncomfortable.
Ms. Kim.
Why? Did I make you uncomfortable again?
How about a team dinner this evening?
We've never had one since Dong Hee and I joined the team.
Shall we?
I'm in.
Me too.
Ms. Baek.
We're going to have a team dinner today. You'll join us, right?
No, I can't. You guys can go without me.
Yes, let's just do it without Ms. Baek.
(Ms. Choi)
Hello, ma'am.
Dad.
What are you doing?
Can't you tell? I'm washing my blanket.
Right, but why?
Don't you have to go to work?
I quit.
Really?
But why are you washing the blanket?
Mom! Come out for a second.
- Mom! - Why are you calling your mom?
What is it? Did something happen?
Mom. Did you ask Dad to wash the blanket because he's not working now?
No.
Honey, what are you doing?
Why are you washing the blanket? I washed it last week.
You did? I thought it needed to be washed.
Honey, I told you to just go watch some TV.
Yes. You've worked so hard.
Watch TV and rest up.
Tae Pyung, put this in the washer before you head out.
Okay, will do.
Dad, move. Come on!
Okay, all right.
Oh, boy. They're doing this for me, but it doesn't help me in any way.
Ms. Baek.
Do you truly love Sung Wook?
Yes, I really love him.
Then I'm sure you'd do anything for him. Am I right?
What do you mean?
My husband is against the idea of you two getting married...
because of the lies that your mother told.
Right, Sung Wook told me.
And he won't pass the business down to Sung Wook...
if he refuses to give up on marrying you.
He told Sung Wook to give up his executive director title.
Pardon me? Mr. Kang said that?
Yes, that's right.
So if you love Sung Wook,
break up with him.
If you truly love him,
break up with him instead of ruining his future.
That is what you must do if you really love him.
Ma'am.
You'd better not say that you can't break up with him...
after hearing this.
All right, then.
I'm counting on you. I'll get going, then.
Come in.
What's the matter?
Sir.
Please give me a chance.
Why are you being like this all of a sudden?
Get up.
As you know,
I gave Sung Wook a hard time.
And I hurt him a lot.
Even so, he never once turned his back on me,
and he's always been so devoted to me.
I was moved by his devotion.
And now, I love him more than he loves me.
So?
Do you think...
that saying these things can cover up your mother's lies?
I'm fully aware that nothing I say can change the fact that my mother lied.
But could you please give me a chance?
This won't change anything. Please get up.
Sir.
Ms. Baek.
Please...
Sir, could you please support our relationship?
Please?
So you won't get up and leave?
Fine, then.
I'll leave.
Sir.
(Hyena Hair Salon)
Kim Tae Pyung. I was a fool for trusting you.
But still, how could he not show up the day after he got paid up front?
Sorry, I'm a little late.
Hey, Kim Tae Pyung.
"A little late?" Do you know what time it is now?
I'm sorry. I have something to show you.
Hold on. Ta-da!
(Kim Tae Pyung, Passed)
What is this?
What do you think? It says I passed the hairstyling certification exam.
I just took the written test,
and I passed.
Then you should've told me.
How come you never tell me anything?
Had I failed the exam, I would've been embarrassed.
That's why I didn't tell you.
Dad! Congratulations on passing the written exam.
Yes. Thanks, Hye Na.
You knew?
Dad called me as soon as he found out that he passed.
Dad, what's your score?
I got 60.
Isn't that the minimum score to pass the exam?
Yes, that's right. Aren't you proud of me?
Goodness. Look at you bragging about barely passing the exam.
Who cares? What matters is that he passed the exam.
It's not like he'll get two certificates for getting a perfect score.
Right, Dad?
Yes, exactly. Why bother getting a higher score?
Right, Hye Na?
My point, exactly.
Now, you just need to pass the practical exam.
Yes, that's right.
Then you can use my hair to practice.
Give me a perm and the relaxing treatment too.
Use it all you want.
Really? Are you sure?
Yes, of course.
It's not a problem at all. I just want you to pass the exam.
Thank you, Hye Na.
(Hana Dumplings)
It's good.
So? Have you sent the script to the production company yet?
Yes. They said they'd go over it and let me know.
I see.
I hope it works out.
Me too. I really hope so too.
If it were that easy, you'd already be working as a writer.
What's with you? You've been so snappy since yesterday.
Are you jealous that things are working out for Jung Eun?
Just be quiet if you don't know anything.
Do you know why she wants to be a writer?
Hye Ran.
What are you talking about?
Is there a special reason she wants to be a writer?
- Yes. When she becomes successful... - Hye Ran.
- Hello, everyone. - Oh. Hello, Mr. Kim.
Jung Ho.
Have you been well?
Yes, of course.
Oh, we meet again.
I'm so glad you're here. Take your sister home, please.
That's why I'm here.
Let's go home, Jung Eun.
Jung Ho, I haven't earned enough money to pay rent.
We said that because of Tae Pyung.
You don't have to pay rent. Come home already.
No. I have a thing called pride too. I can't just move back in now.
I won't go home until I can afford to pay rent,
so don't try to change my mind.
Come on, Jung Eun.
How much longer will you inconvenience Mr. Jang here?
If it's because of me, don't worry about it at all.
She's not inconveniencing me at all.
What are you talking about?
She eats breakfast, lunch, and dinner here every single day.
You should just go home.
No. I won't.
I won't go home until I become a successful writer,
so I can't go with you.
So? You'll keep staying here?
Yes, I told you.
Bye, Jung Ho. I have to work on my script.
Wait, Jung Eun...
What's with her, seriously?
Just leave her be. She's on a kick.
Would that really be okay with you?
Yes, of course.
What? Did you two already talk about this?
Talk about what? My goodness.
Ms. Baek.
Sir, you're back.
Tell Director Kang to come to my office now.
Yes, sir.
I heard you asked for me.
Seung Ju, what are you doing?
I was begging Mr. Kang for forgiveness.
Take her.
Get up.
Get up already!
Sir.
Please give me a chance.
Please?
Come on. Let's go.
I'm sorry, sir.
Why did you do that?
I heard he told you to give up your executive director title.
Who told you that?
Did you meet my mom again?
Why did you meet her? I told you to just tell me these things.
No.
I actually want to thank your mother.
Had I been kept in the dark,
I would've done nothing.
Then you would've been stressed out all alone.
Seung Ju.
I wanted to do whatever I could to help you.
So we can protect our love.
Thank you, Seung Ju.
But I got this, okay?
I will protect our love,
so don't worry.
Okay?
Okay.
Cheers!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
I'm sorry, Cha Yeol. I had no idea who you were.
I suggested this team dinner because I don't want you to treat me like this.
What do you mean?
The fact that I'm the CEO's son changes nothing.
I'm still just a design intern, nothing more.
So please treat me like you used to. Okay?
How could I?
You'll run the company in the future.
My gosh. I'm not even interested.
You're not even interested? What do you mean?
You mean, you don't want to inherit the business?
No. I joined Inha Fashion with a plan to stay with the company only for a year.
So you're planning to quit in a year?
- Then what? - I was planning to return to the US,
but there's been some changes.
So I'll have to see.
"Changes?" Does that include Dong Hee?
Ms. Kim, what are you talking about?
What? We all know that he likes you.
No, don't get the wrong idea.
Come on. Don't say that.
Is it really not true, Cha Yeol?
It is true.
But it's making Dong Hee uncomfortable, so let's stop talking about it.
Yes. Let them figure it out.
Let's just drink.
Shall we?
Honey, what are you thinking about?
Ms. Baek came to see me earlier.
She did?
And? What did she say?
Did she say she'd break up with Sung Wook?
What are you talking about?
She got down on her knees and begged me to give her a chance.
What? That sly fox actually did that?
I don't know about other things,
but she seems to truly love him.
So I feel bad.
She's trying to manipulate you.
And all things aside,
we can't marry our son off...
to such a deceitful family.
I know.
That's why...
I can't really let them get married.
In any case, I will never approve of her. End of discussion.
Then what will you do if Sung Wook refuses to give up on her?
If he gives up on the company...
and chooses her, then what will you do?
I know my son well enough.
Sung Wook would never do that.
He'd never give up the company for anything, so just wait and see.
Soon, you'll hear him say that he's giving up on her.
Do you really think so?
I told you. Just wait and see.
Hey, you're back.
Mom.
Have you persuaded Dad yet?
What are you talking about?
Persuade him to do what?
I told you this morning...
that you'd have to persuade Dad.
Hey, stop it.
What is this about?
Why should your mother persuade me?
- Dad. - Kang Sung Wook.
Shut your mouth.
Stay out of this, honey.
Tell me.
Did your mother do something? Is that it?
No, honey. I didn't do anything.
I told you to stay out of this.
Go on. Tell me.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Dad, the truth is,
Mom was the person who framed Seung Ju.
What did you say?
I understand that Seung Ju's mother lied,
but what Mom did was way worse than that.
Honey, is this true?
Honey, it's...
Also,
if you won't let us get married,
I'm going to step down as executive director.
Hey, Sung Wook. Are you really going to be like this?
(Bravo, My Life)
Let's go sing karaoke.
Dong Hee.
The one I wanted to sing for wasn't even there.
Dong Hee, you should've been there to hear Cha Yeol sing.
I retired recently.
He was sitting alone in the park, looking depressed.
You should do something to make him feel better.
Mom, must you make me do this?
What? She framed you?
I will teach this woman a lesson.
