(Episode 9)
Come on in.
He's President Hwang Jin Goo of Hyesung Tour.
- My name is Hwang Jin Goo. - I'm Goo Ji Seok.
She's Team Leader Yoon Se Young of Hyesung Tour...
and my niece.
Hello, my name is Yoon Se Young.
Hello, I'm Goo Ji Seok.
And these two will marry soon.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Now, Hyesung Group is in the hands of you three.
Think of each other as comrades on the same boat...
and turn this into a mutually beneficial relationship.
Yes, ma'am.
Then, please excuse me.
The young ones can bond.
Mommy.
Yu Jin...
You shouldn't run. You might hurt yourself.
Mommy, there are so many fish over there.
Really? Let's check it out.
Ms. Chairwoman.
What?
Let's go.
- Do you drink? - I don't.
We have something in common.
Then, why don't we just pour each other one?
Sure.
Please.
- Do you also not drink, Ms. Yoon? - I enjoy it.
It's rather bitter today.
Should I order your favorite drink?
It's okay.
We ran into each other at the hotel a few days ago.
I asked if you had seen a young woman.
Yes, I remember that.
Did you find her?
Yes, thanks to your help. Let's eat.
I heard my position was supposed to be yours.
It seems like I've taken it away.
Things always change depending on the situation...
and the conditions when it comes to work.
I thought the company made the best decision possible.
Do you really think so?
Yes, however,
I hope the new guy doesn't drive out the old one.
You're quite honest.
If you do a great job at work, it'll benefit Hyesung Tour.
You do know that Hyesung Hotel and Hyesung Tour are...
partners in business as the group's subsidiaries, right?
- Yes. - I look forward to our endeavors.
I hope we'll continue to remain as good partners...
and mutually benefit just as the chairwoman wanted.
Now that work is on the subject, I want to make an offer.
Allow me to report back to the chairwoman from now on.
Until now, I heard you reported in a private audience with her.
That could've happened without the head director,
but you should report to me now.
- I'll do that. - No.
The chairwoman wanted him in a private audience with her.
Her love for President Hwang and Hyesung Tour is that profound.
She won't allow it.
She already did.
I'll do that.
What did you call the two to discuss in private?
Was it about Jin Goo's promotion as head director?
It was. I told them someone else got the job.
What?
"Someone else got the job?"
What do you mean, Yeo Jin?
Things happened.
Are you serious?
Wait, how can you do this without talking to me?
How can you deceive the three of us with one move?
The two of them worked so hard to this day.
This is betrayal.
Watch who you're talking to.
One of the investors recommended him to me.
I had to take him.
Was it Richard Han?
What's his relationship with Richard Han?
Was it his son or something?
Well, what did Jin Goo say?
He said he'd comply with the company's decision.
That was what he said, but he couldn't be pleased.
Do you think...
I enjoy accepting an outsider who hasn't proven himself?
I'll find a suitable chance to kick him out.
So, you won't let him stick around for too long, right?
You have to do that, Yeo Jin.
What's going on?
She appointed someone else as the head director?
Yes, Jin Goo lost his chance.
He always acts like he's so smart,
yet he loses this chance right before his eyes.
What an idiot.
Who are you calling an idiot?
Did you just say my son, your future son-in-law, is an idiot?
Gosh. Money is always the problem.
Good grief. I have a huge headache.
If I may,
can I ask what the investor, Richard Han, is like?
There's not much information about him.
He's like my stepfather...
and a mentor.
He gave me the turning point of my life.
You met a great man.
How did...
you two begin dating?
I asked him out.
I thought he was a smart and boring guy as a kid,
but when I came back from America, he had become exactly my type.
He was a gifted child since his childhood.
The chairwoman noticed his talent and took him in early on.
He's like the chairwoman's son.
- You shared too much detail. - They were all factual.
You haven't married, have you?
Are you dating anyone?
We broke up.
She was a poor woman.
Do you know what a marionette is?
The doll that gets controlled by someone who pulls the strings.
She was like a marionette on the strings her mother pulled.
She was affected by every single word her mother said.
In the end, she broke up with me because her mother said so.
I'm sorry...
for that lady and you.
If I were her,
I wouldn't have broken up with my man...
if I truly loved him, even if I were controlled...
like a marionette.
Do you mean...
that woman did not love me?
How would I know? I'm not her.
We were passionately in love,
so passionate that we were burning for each other.
Are you all right?
I shared too much detail.
Right, you two went to the same university.
Have you two ever met?
There are lots of international students there.
I wasn't in the same community as other international students.
It's an unlikely coincidence for the alumni to meet like this,
so let's make this work.
- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you two, too.
Why don't we call it a day?
Shall we?
And again,
congratulations on your wedding.
- Good luck to you two. - Thank you.
I'll get the car.
This is hilarious.
I can't believe my fiancé's backstabber...
was you, Ji Seok.
Show me what you can do.
Prove what you can do as Hyesung Group's head director,
not as a poor and pathetic international student.
That's the only way I'll approve of you.
Why do I need your approval?
I don't feel anything even when I see you.
You're like plain water.
I let my guard down too easily.
Who knows what else Aunt Yeo Jin is hiding to surprise us?
You need to show your talent with this chance.
Show him that Hyesung Group and you...
both aren't an easy fight.
Weren't you honestly bothered?
I'm only human, so it's a bit disappointing.
He's an unsightly type from another man's perspective.
What does he seem like as a woman?
He's not my type.
I wasn't asking if he was your type.
I'm saying you look much cooler.
I wouldn't lose against him when it came to my looks.
And what did he mean...
when he wished us good luck on our wedding?
That was tough to analyze.
Just ignore him.
She'll spend...
the next few hours in Yu Jin's room.
Why did it have to be across the hall from my room?
What if she does that until late in the night...
Keep a straight face.
Why do you care so much about some room?
Some nobody suddenly barged in...
and ruined everything for us.
I heard Jin Goo will follow the company's decision.
We can't lose the investment.
It doesn't change the fact he turned Hyesung Tour...
into the runner-up in the industry.
He should want to return to the hotel.
No one notices anything he does at some travel agency.
And when is Director Choi coming?
Before the appointment ceremony,
with information about Richard Han.
Anyway, who was it?
She was a poor woman.
She was like a marionette on the strings her mother pulled.
She was affected by every single word her mother said.
In the end, she broke up with me because her mother said so.
Who was this punk?
I'm tired.
Yes, so we should...
trample on him before he makes us more tired.
Have you ever slapped anyone?
That was so random.
I've pulled out someone's hair and slapped their back,
but I've never slapped anyone.
I guess slapping isn't for everyone.
Who are you talking about?
The evil woman who's hated by...
Never mind.
Hey, stop talking nonsense and do as Seok Ki says.
You need to prioritize your life.
Will you really break up with him?
It'd be a huge twist if Eun Chong's grandmother...
suddenly showed up and turned out to be rich.
But something like that only happens in dramas.
She must be without any family...
if she's in the public welfare program.
He might be better off not meeting her.
I just want to find her first.
And I wonder if she's still alive.
Gosh, where did she drop it?
Hey, forget it.
How are you going to find something she dropped out on the street?
It was her mother's keepsake.
She got in the habit of touching the brooch...
whenever she missed her.
Then, she must've dropped it while fiddling with it.
You make your life way too difficult...
because you empathize with others too easily.
"While fiddling with it?"
Goodness.
- Thank you. - Like this.
All right.
Yes, there was fiddling.
There was fiddling.
Hello? It's me, Goo Ha Na.
I remember seeing the brooch when she put the hanbok on.
She must've dropped it there. Yes.
May I come over tomorrow and take another look?
All right. Okay.
Oh, my gosh. This is mine.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Ha Na.
I'm glad, too.
I want to give you a present of my appreciation.
No, never mind.
I just did what I needed to do.
It's my job to make my customers happy.
You surely made me happy.
(Group Building Construction Order Contract Signing Ceremony)
Daeri Group was very happy.
They said they'd leave us in charge...
of incentive trips for the entire group.
I have another piece of good news.
Hassan wants to work with our agency...
on inbound tours for people from Dubai.
Is that so?
How did he make you an offer like that?
The complaint over dinner on the first day turned things around.
She must've earned their heart after switching to fresh halal meat...
and even bringing them halal meal boxes.
The most decisive moment was when she retrieved a brooch...
for Hassan's wife.
Who found that?
I heard it was the tour guide who brought the halal meals.
She wasn't one of us.
- Show her our appreciation. - Yes, ma'am.
Have you had a talk with Director Goo?
Yes, he's now with us, so I'll get the most use out of him.
Why do I need your approval?
I don't feel anything even when I see you.
You're like plain water.
I don't care what you think is fun.
You'll be married soon.
Soo Jung, compare and analyze...
all tour programs for Middle Eastern guests.
All right.
Wait, people from that region...
love Korean dramas and K-pop.
Exactly.
I think it'll be a great idea...
to collaborate with K-pop concerts or drama sets.
Ms. Yoon?
What?
Ms. Yoon.
Find the contact for the guide who found the brooch for Hassan's wife.
That guide stole our guest.
And if we were to nitpick over this, she simply did her job.
It was the chairwoman's special order.
Thanks to her, we can attract more tourists from Dubai.
Soo Jung, when's the application due for experienced operators?
This weekend, sir.
You should've asked her to find you a job.
You went through all that to find her brooch and got nothing?
How can a Korean tour guide...
shamelessly ask a guest from Dubai to find a job for her?
I'd be a national disgrace.
So, you haven't starved enough.
No, I'm unbelievably starving.
I can even eat dirt.
Why would you eat dirt?
There's so much food here.
You can feast on all-you-can-eat fresh ingredients.
You need to stop eating.
Stop taking so much.
Hey, give me that.
- Come on. - Stop eating so much.
All right.
It looks so good.
It's so fresh and delicious.
- Right? - Yes.
Hey, instead of sitting around,
you should have one last talk with Hwang Jin Goo...
about the experienced operator position Hyesung Tour is hiring.
Who knows what will happen?
And especially so between a man and a woman.
Are you teasing me?
(Scumbag Seok Ki)
- What? - Hey, where are you?
- Are you at home? - No.
My mom says she's going to your place now.
What?
Granny, who are you?
Do I look like a granny to you?
I'm Lee Seok Ki's mother.
Good grief. Look at this ridiculous house.
You're Mr. Seok Ki's mother?
Hello.
- I go to Chamsae Kindergarten... - Stop.
Are you here because of Auntie Ha Na and Mr. Seok Ki's marriage?
Marriage, my foot.
Let's talk outside.
Auntie Ha Na.
Eun Chong, go to your room. Okay?
Let's talk outside.
Seok Ki and I broke up, and I'd never meet him again.
How dare you play dumb?
You should've handled the money issue as soon as you broke up.
How much did you extort from Seok Ki?
There's more than the 50,000-dollar bank loan, right?
That's all.
I was never behind on paying the principal and the interest.
I also plan to pay the rest.
I had the IOU notarized, too.
What good will that do?
It'd be useless once you ray off with the 50,000 dollars.
Gosh, you must have extorted so much money...
from my innocent son all along.
Just thinking about this makes me shudder.
Your situation was absurd enough with that baggage.
That's enough.
And now, there's a money problem? Do you think he's an idiot?
I apologize for taking out a loan under his name.
But I won't run away with it.
I'll spend the rest of my life paying it back if I must,
so please go home.
The rest of your life? Do you think I'm stupid?
Take the lease out of this place and pay my son back first!
As you have seen already, this is how I live.
I can't pay that back right away.
Even if I wanted to, I didn't have the money to do that.
- If you wait... - "Wait?"
What the heck is wrong with you?
- Come here! - Let go of me!
I won't let you go until you pay the money!
- Auntie! - Let go of me!
- Not until you repay him! - Stop hitting her!
Stop hitting her.
How dare you bite me?
Are you okay, Eun Chong?
Hey! That little thing is vicious.
Did you not learn to respect your elders...
because you were raised without proper education?
I'll put both of you behind bars!
You were the first to attack me both verbally and physically.
I can't condone this anymore, so leave.
So what?
Will you report me for assault?
Go ahead.
I'll sue you for fraud under false promises of marriage.
I clearly warned you, didn't I?
That you'd see worse if you didn't listen to me.
I left you here at your place today,
but next time, you'd be behind bars.
Bring my son's money back within a week...
if you don't want to get arrested!
Three months.
This ridiculous girl is trying to buy some time?
You get just one month.
I'm not very patient.
If you don't keep your promise, I'll set your place on fire.
How did he get involved with these ridiculous and lowly things?
Woman! Were you talking to my family?
Who the heck are you?
Darn it.
Hey, woman!
Who is that woman? What's going on?
She's Mr. Seok Ki's mommy.
What?
Then, what's with the air in here?
Why is she making a scene?
Does he know his mother is here?
He's ignoring my calls.
Hang up.
We broke up.
Ha Na.
Who was the woman that just left?
That punk, Lee Seok Ki's mom.
Ha Na isn't marrying him.
Why not? I thought the meeting went well.
I'm sorry.
Hi-yah!
Let's go.
(Burn in eternal fire.)
(Lee Seok Ki, you scumbag. What a funny name.)
(You're a sly rat. Goodbye, ugly guy. Loser.)
Let's keep it a secret from Ha Na.
That he had another woman.
It'll only hurt her to find out.
- And to Ji Seok. - Why not?
Ha Na would be humiliated.
She couldn't be more humiliated than this.
Hey, stop crying, man.
(You're a sly rat. Goodbye, ugly guy. Loser.)
- Stop crying. - Gosh.
I need to find 50,000 dollars in a month.

No rain, no flowers?
That's our family motto.
"No rain, no flowers."
- If it doesn't rain... - Flowers don't bloom, either.
It means good days will come if you endure bad days.
Remember those words whenever you face trouble.
Okay.
Will I ever see good days?
Mom, Dad.
You can't even put on socks.
How much did you extort from Seok Ki?
There's more than the 50,000-dollar bank loan, right?
That's all.
Uncle Ji Chang, how many 50 cents fit into 5 dollars?
- Why do you ask? - How many?
Don't you know?
Ten, obviously.
Ten.
(1. I will walk your dog for 50 cents an hour.)
(2. I will clean your hamster's home for 50 cents.)
(3. I will clean your shoes for 50 cents.)
(4. I will return your books to the library for 50 cents.)
Number 503, please.
It is hard to take out a loan if you are unemployed.
(General Civil Complaints)
I'd love to help you,
but there was a limit to foster home loans.
We can't offer you 50,000 dollars.
(Get your loan today. Heemang Staffing Agency)
(Sell your organs, guaranteed confidentiality)
All right.
- How is it? - You should try some, too.
- Okay. - Here.
Isn't it good?
It's so good.
- Give me one more. - Okay.
- Here. Open up. - Hurry.
- Hey, wait. My gosh. - Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
Did you say your aunt can't marry because of you?
Yes, was I punished for doing something bad?
"Something bad?"
Tae Hoon, aren't these your sneakers?
Hey! My sneakers!
You need to apologize first.
I won't give them back if you don't apologize.
I'm sorry.
I ruined your auntie's face.
So, you did that.
Here. Don't do that from now on.
Please, I'll do many good things from now on.
So, please let Auntie Ha Na be happy. Please?
Eun Chong!
Auntie!
Did you have a good day? Let's go.
Eun Chong was heartbroken that you were unable to marry...
because of him.
And he was worried about your layoff, too.
Eun Chong, I didn't break up with Mr. Seok Ki because of you.
The two of us broke up...
because it was time for us to separate.
Without me, his mommy could have...
He still wouldn't have married me...
even if you weren't around.
Why not?
You'll find out when you grow up.
Also, I'll get a job soon.
Really? Where?
I'll turn in my resume to just about every company.
I'll start with Hyesung Tour.
Let's start with Hyesung Tour!
What was that?
(Cinderella Game)
Auntie, did you get the job?
I passed the application screening!
Why did it have to be Hyesung Tour?
Congratulations, Director Goo.
I have high expectations of both of you.
Hyesung Tour is undergoing a business contract with Dubai.
How dare she turn in an application to our business?
She'd pass 100 percent if only Hwang Jin Goo didn't come.
Who's Hwang Jin Goo?
All right. I'll settle this for good today.
