I'm waiting for the email from Dubai with the competition details.
We can adjust things before submitting...
to fit the specifications.
When will we get the email?
We should get it soon.
I'm guessing maybe tomorrow?
Really?
They didn't send it yet.
Take a look at this.
I streamlined the facade. What do you think?
I like it.
First impressions count, so the front should stand out.
Yes. I agree.
I'm sorry.
I wronged you.
I'll come back when I need the back trimmed.
You knew Mi Ju was framed...
and you kept quiet about it.
That makes you an accomplice!
- Come here. - Don't, Mom.
- Let go of me! - Get out of here!
- I'm sorry. - You...
Let me go!
- Did you sort everything out? - Yes.
You work faster now since you got some practice.
Oh, right. I'm meeting some friends tomorrow.
Can you keep the salon going on your own?
Tomorrow? On my own?
I worked on my own my whole life.
I want to go out and see friends now.
Okay?
Okay.
Woo Sang. Don't sit at home doing nothing.
Why don't you create an approachable image by going on variety shows?
You used to get lots of calls to come on.
Going on a variety show right now might backfire.
It'll be too late later on.
You must move now to get somewhere.
I know a guy who is chief of the variety division.
- Shall I ask for a favor? - No.
He had a thing for me many years ago.
I wonder if I still have it.
Forget it. Don't do anything like that.
What do you do tomorrow?
I'm done, Mom.
Why? What's wrong?
Eat some more.
I'm free.
Shall we meet up, then?
Shall we? Where?
We can't exactly meet in public.
Mom has plans tomorrow and can't work.
The kids are out too during the day.
Will you come over?
Okay, sure.
A million dollars?
Are you insane?
We agreed the previous payment was the last one.
Things didn't go the way I'd planned.
I didn't have enough,
so I'd gotten some of my husband's money.
I don't have anything left.
Come on, Ms. Shim.
You can't ignore me now when you have something like this.
Help me out just once more.
I'm starting a new business...
and initial investments cost more than I thought.
This memo. You signed it yourself.
You put your thumbprint on it too.
I'll sign another memo.
- Hello, sir. - Hi.
- Let's sit down. - Okay.
You and Ms. Pi are working on a Dubai competition?
- Yes. - Good.
It won't be an easy project, but do your best.
- Yes, sir. - And Sang Ah...
You divorced her?
Yes.
It's a shame, but what can I do?
Is there a reason...
other than Sang Ah that made you want to get divorced?
Such as Ms. Pi, maybe.
I divorced Sang Ah purely because of issues between us.
Okay.
Is Tae Ri doing okay?
Does he miss his mom?
I'm explaining things to him as we go.
I can't say anything else now that the divorce is final, but...
You haven't gotten sick of Jin Architecture, have you?
My divorce and work are separate issues.
I understand.
I looked up what you asked...
Hello, Mr. Jin.
- I'll leave, then. - I'm actually done.
Ms. Pi.
- Can I have a word? - Sure.
You can speak here.
I'll excuse myself.
- Will you do that? - Of course.
So, did my daughter Chu Ah visit you...
to apologize properly?
To tell you the honest truth,
it didn't feel sincere.
But it wouldn't have been easy for her to come all the way to my house.
We were surprised and impressed by that alone.
Were you?
I understand. I'll let you get back to work.
Okay.
Are you a member of any of these sites?
Register with them all and get a full membership.
That's a basic rule.
All of them?
To see how viewers respond and to get new ideas.
You have an hour to look up what I listed there...
and send me a summary too.
Okay.
Ms. Bae.
You look extra young today.
I thought you were a student when you came in.
Don't you think that's because you look old?
Yes. You're right.
You're always right.
I like your new attitude.
- Now get to work. - Okay.
(Team Leader's Office, Planning Team 1)
- Are you pleased you got So Woo divorced? - What?
As someone who has prior experience of breaking up a family,
I must ask if you think you're getting your way.
Enjoy it while you can.
What about you? Did you enjoy yourself?
- What? - You said if I couldn't better...
my husband's future, I should let him go instead of keeping him in a bog.
Help Nam Jin fly high and enjoy the lifestyle.
Why are you always so disgruntled?
You two.
Did you sleep together?
- What? - Did you sleep together?
Have you lost your mind?
What? Neither of you are virgins. You both know all there is to know.
There's no way you just look at each other and smile.
You must've been so sexually frustrated.
No. I bet you slept together long ago!
Director Jin. Let's go.
I'll bring the car around. Come downstairs.
I see you're using him very well.
Good for you.
Go with him. He asked you to.
Let's go. My mom is waiting.
I'm done at last.
Pi Jin Ju.
- What are you doing? - What?
What if someone hears you?
Ms. Bae left.
Shall we go somewhere for a drink?
Workplace stress should be relieved with food and drink.
Yes.
I owe you a meal for getting me the job. Let's have a drink.
Sounds good.
I think I was out of line last time.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
But I don't think it's right for you...
to say you'll teach someone something.
Hey. Did I say I'd teach you something from a textbook?
There's no need to be afraid.
It won't be that hard.
Yes. This is my mom's way of trying to get close to you...
so you can be on good terms.
Don't try to keep a distance.
You should let it go too, Mom.
She spared time to come and apologize.
Yes.
It would be best not to do anything you should apologize for later,
but you came and we talked it out. Isn't that great?
You might think you're smart,
but you can always learn from your elders.
Don't talk back at me at every turn from now on.
That must be the food.
Why did they change the system? I have to go downstairs now.
It's such a hassle.
Well done.
My mom speaks aggressively, but she's not a bad person.
Speaking aggressively is a bad thing.
She's not complicated.
If you go with what she says, she doesn't go any further.
See how she warmed up just now?
Shall we call it a day, then?
- I'm hungry. - Shall we?
Let's clean up and have dinner on the way.
- Shall we? On me. - Okay.
Great.
(Jin Architecture)
Why do this when there are cameras?
We're not doing anything illegal.
I'd always wanted to do this.
It's thrilling.
My gosh.
You can be quite cheeky.
- No. - Yes.
Did you apologize properly to that family?
I did. Look.
I even took a selfie just to be sure.
You what? You didn't do anything worth celebrating.
Did you go there for fun?
Why are you scolding me again?
I went all the way there to apologize.
Did Pi Seon Ju complain to you or something?
- She did. - She's more than capable of it.
What's wrong with the way you think?
Dad. I know what I did was wrong,
but I suffered a lot too.
Pi Mi Ju stole Woo Sang from me and ruined my career.
Woo Sang blocked me and so did my work contacts.
I'm having a hard time myself.
Yes, honey. Don't be too harsh on her.
She didn't ruin anything for you. You brought it upon yourself.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Everyone in that family has a way of aggravating you.
With their innocent faces, they suffocate you from the inside out.
The girls don't know when to stop because you egg them on like this.
You're so much more privileged than them.
Why can't you be more tolerant?
They don't deserve our tolerance.
She was like this in school too.
You don't know how two-faced she is.
Mr. Jeon does and he left her, didn't he?
That was because you...
- Forget it. - She does what she can...
to impress people she can benefit from.
You saw how she acted...
around you and around So Woo too.
How did she act?
She refused to leave that house and ended up seducing So Woo.
She's the reason I got divorced.
Blame yourself for losing So Woo, not her!
You gave that family a reason and need to live with So Woo.
You should show remorse for your mistakes.
Why would you take it out on the innocent?
This wouldn't have happened if you'd been honest!
I'm going upstairs.
Me too.
Dad always takes it out on us.
My gosh...
Didn't you want to eat somewhere more romantic?
Isn't this place romantic in its own way?
My goodness.
You're a lovely couple.
Young and free.
- Are we? - Yes.
I'm envious.
Shall we buy some extra for the kids?
- Yes. - Okay.
Can you pack us some tteokbokki and sundae?
Sure. How many kids do you have?
Oh, well, I have one daughter...
One son.
My word. You got the perfect combination.
- Shall we go? - Yes.
- Can I pay? - Yes.
No, I was going to...
It's slippery. The floor...
Watch out.
Here you go.
Thank you.
- We enjoyed the food. - Thanks.
- Thanks a lot. - Come by again.
- We will. Have a good evening. - Thanks.
It's the best time of your lives.
- Thank you. - I'm jealous.
- See you again. - Okay, bye.
I'm not sure.
You have good taste.
Will the kids like what we bought?
Yes. They love tteokbokki.
Good.
If I become a main writer, I won't be like Ms. Bae.
She seems to get a sense of fulfillment from crushing others.
She cares a lot about her work. Inside, she's a good person.
I bet she's good to you.
Swallow your pride and hang in there for a couple of years.
Here, the survivor is the fittest.
I can't help it that it's because she's immature.
I should be the better adult.
When do I tell her my real age?
What if she reports me for fraud...
when I tell her?
She's not the type to take it well.
Then I'll come with you as an accomplice.
You're not alone, so don't worry.
Okay.
Eat as much as you can. The beef tripe here is good.
I tried it.
When you wailed about the sorrow of being a widow.
Hey.
Who cares? You're a writer now.
I heard that such experiences do writers good down the line.
You have what it takes.
It's Ms. Bae.
- Hey. - What are you doing, director?
I'm with a friend.
I see.
I was going to buy you dinner if you were nearby.
Were you? Maybe next time.
Bye.
Do you think she has a thing for you?
She does not. She joined when I was an assistant director,
so we're just a year apart and really close.
She looks out for me because she knows I'm divorced.
Let's drink.
(Han Hair Line)
They wired the settlement today.
How many zeroes are there? One, two, three...
It's 300,000 dollars.
We're rich.
It's not that much compared to the tears and sweat we shed.
You're right. We should've asked for more.
Are you looking at houses?
About that. Shall we stay here a bit longer?
You wanted to move.
I couldn't find a place that suits us well.
Ask multiple realtors.
Some places don't share really good properties with others.
If you're too busy, I can ask my old boss...
No.
Let's do as Seon Ju said and stay here if we can.
The homeowner doesn't want us gone, does he?
He doesn't.
Our two years aren't up yet.
Let's take our time.
Yes. It's easier to move when the weather is warmer.
What should we do with this money? Invest in shares?
How about we invest in cryptocurrency too?
You keep quiet.
Remember how you made us sell the house at the worst time?
Yes. Rather than invest in something and lose everything,
let's put it in a fund that pays a high interest.
Yes. We'll pretend this money doesn't exist,
save up, and keep adding to it. Okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
What are you doing up here?
I need to talk to you, Sang Ah.
Take a seat.
What? A million dollars?
Keep it down.
Why are you asking me for so much money?
What is it for?
I took out a private loan.
You did what? Why?
My business is struggling.
Lots of my clients left because of the videos.
It's Seon Ju's fault again.
Where am I to get a million dollars so soon?
What about Dad? Can't you ask him?
I can't tell your dad I went to a loan shark.
I think we should keep it a secret...
just in case something happens later on.
How can we do that? I can't.
Don't you think...
you can use your company funds behind your dad's back?
You're a director.
I'll get you the money soon.
How can you do that when you owe a loan shark?
I'm expecting a payout next month.
I just need something to tide me over.
Why did you go to a loan shark?
You told me not to lose Dad's favor.
And you're asking me to embezzle?
I didn't know it then,
but the place I went to was shady.
I could lose my business...
and they might threaten to take Jin Architecture too.
What?
You and I are on the same side.
Will you help me out, Sang Ah?
My gosh...
If you did something bad, you should've lived quietly.
You became too famous.
Because you thought I was dead, right?
You can deny one thing for lack of evidence,
but I have something else.
How is my Sang Ah doing?
"My Sang Ah?"
Don't you dare say her name!
I trust you'll send me the money next week. Bye.
You need to retrain your staff.
If they stop me once more,
I'll tell everyone I'm your previous husband.
Why are you still up?
My gosh.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
Why are you in the kitchen?
To get some water.
I'll clean that up. Step back.
Where's the broom?
(Jin Architecture)
I mapped out the storyboard.
Nice. I like it.
I think we've done all the work we can so far.
Yes. We can work on the details when we get the email from Dubai.
I thought we'd have heard from them by now.
I haven't gotten anything yet.
That's strange.
Why don't you contact them and ask?
I'll do that.
Hi. Why are you calling me, Chu Ah?
Woo Sang won't take my calls.
Is he home?
Will you come over if he is?
Shouldn't you be lying low?
People will only gossip if they see you with Woo Sang.
For a while... No.
From now on, don't you think you should stay away?
Ms. Oh.
Does Ms. Shim know you're calling me?
She blames Woo Sang for ruining your life.
She does?
She claims she saved Woo Sang from a fraudulent marriage,
but breaking up on the day of the wedding...
isn't a good look either.
Bye.
Is she stupid or immature?
It's so infuriating.
(Executive Director, Jin Sang Ah)
I can't tell your dad I went to a loan shark.
You and I are on the same side.
Will you help me out?
How could she take out a private loan?
- What's up? - Nothing much.
How is your cryptocurrency investment?
Is it still profitable?
Why?
You offered to buy Seon Ju a home,
and you bought your mother an apartment.
What did you buy that made you so much?
I closed my account.
It wasn't doing well.
I hear things went back up. What item did you buy?
I bought what others did.
Why do you suddenly want to know that?
Well, if you have extra cash...
Never mind.
Is this Y and B Partners?
It's Director Jin from Jin Architecture in charge of the K-Culture Town project.
The expenses for our subcontractors.
Could you wire it to a separate account?
Thanks.
Great, Sang Ah. Thank you.
I did something really risky, so you must pay me back next month.
I'm using the money I need to pay the subcontractors.
I get it. Thanks, Sang Ah.
I'll be fine once this blows over.
You trust me, don't you?
Okay.
Are you going somewhere?
What?
Why did you jump?
You could've made a noise as you came in.
Should I have said, "Hello, excuse me,"
as I came into my own business?
Why are you checking how you look if you're not going anywhere?
Hair stylists do this much before they start work.
Don't you start getting weird ideas because we got a settlement.
I won't.
When do you leave?
Soon.
Open the door and let in some fresh air.
Okay.
(Head of Planning Team One, Kim So Woo)
"Response to your inquiry."
"We are deeply sorry to hear you will not participate?"
Hello?
Can I speak to someone in charge of the Dubai competition?
Did you email the Dubai team?
They said Director Jin said...
Jin Architecture will not participate. Is that true?
Yes. It's true.
What have you done? Why would we not participate?
What was that? We won't participate?
Pi Seon Ju. Is that how you address a director?
Director. Why did you say that?
I didn't think you had a chance.
Jin Sang Ah!
How would you know if we had a chance or not?
Do you think you as good as won the competition?
Is it a competition if the result comes out first?
The director has the final say as to what projects go ahead.
I made the call based on my judgment that it wouldn't benefit the company.
If you want to participate, set up your own company to do so.
Or replace me as a director first.
Jin Sang Ah!
What?
(Desperate Mrs. Seon Ju)
Do you think you're innocent?
You killed Pi Su Il.
If you were to show up again, she'd just kill you.
Whose side are you on, Dad?
You talk as if you were betrayed first.
Does being betrayed first mean it's okay to feel hurt?
I'll make it so everything So Woo does becomes nothing.
Are you actually the CEO's daughter?
