We should be able to drop projects that aren't profitable.
If you were to spend all your energy on that only to fail to win,
who would make up for that time and cost?
What?
If you have the energy to waste on a lost cause,
shift it to something else...
and do better on your existing projects.
Don't you know you should select and focus?
Why would you ruin our work when all you had to do was do nothing?
I really don't get it.
I said I made a call.
What will you do if you don't like it? Will you challenge me?
Did you really make an executive decision for the sake of the company?
Or are you doing this because you hate me?
Are you actually Jin Architecture's CEO's daughter?
How dare you even say that?
Do you wish you were the CEO's daughter?
You took my husband...
and now you want my dad too?
Tell me.
Have you made a habit of stealing what was mine?
Let's get out of here, Ms. Pi.
Let's go.
Is Sang Ah in her right mind?
How could she cancel what we entered in the company's name?
I don't believe it either. But she never followed reason.
What happens to us now?
Is it really over?
I explained to them that the director made a call...
that we didn't agree with,
and they asked if we hadn't discussed this first.
They seem to think we're a weird company.
They're reluctant to allow us to participate.
How could she do this just because of me?
Let's still send what we worked on so far.
I feel like this is my fault.
Let's put together what we got and tailor it to the requirements.
They might call us again if they like our work.
- Ms. Pi. - Let's just try. I'll bring the files.
This really is the last payment.
I won't put up with it if you come back.
You seem to think I'm your personal ATM.
Do you think you're innocent?
You killed Pi Su Il.
So what? Will you send me to prison?
The statute of limitations expired.
I won't be punished even if you report me.
I don't get the police to solve my problems.
I'll just kill you.
Do you think I can't?
Gosh, I'm scared.
If you're any bit of a human, take this money and get lost.
If you show up again...
I'll make you pay dearly.
My gosh.
You're darn scary when you're angry.
Fine.
I don't want to bother you too much.
Have a good life, then.
Get lost, you fool.
Let's start the meeting.
What's this article about?
"A variety show for couples in crisis?"
What?
Our program is in the news already?
Is it really?
It's not that.
Take a look.
"A dating show that puts couples facing divorce in a shared house."
"CNB confirms plans to broadcast."
"Director Nam Ki Young..."
"cast actor Kim Eun Sang who's facing divorce,"
"and announced they would start filming once the other couples were cast."
Director Nam Ki Young...
Isn't that the guy who came by and scanned our laptops?
Nam Ki Young, that punk...
Hey, Ki Young. What's going on?
You saw what we were working on when you came over.
I was working on something similar.
Our ideas were so much alike,
but we managed to cast Kim Eun Sang right away...
and got a time slot.
What? Do you think that makes sense?
Do you think you're the only ones with that idea?
All directors think similarly.
Don't make me look like a thief.
Hey. Ki Young!
- How dare he... - What did he say?
Darn it!
What the heck is going on?
How could someone else announce a similar project?
Are you sure this was your idea?
You fool. You moron.
You called me a backward chief who wasn't with the times.
Drop this one!
Darn it.
We got betrayed.
This is shocking.
Shoot.
I should get Ki Young to...
I heard you contacted the Dubai people and said we'd withdraw.
So what? Are you here to complain too?
No. You did awesome.
I think I'd have done the same.
She forgets her place...
and seems to think she's an amazing designer.
That goes for Kim So Woo as well.
We're on the same page for once. It has been a while.
When should we let our families meet?
You're so darn impatient.
Are you doing this because you love me?
Your motive doesn't seem pure.
Hearing you say the word "pure" makes me snort in disbelief.
You stalled long enough. Arrange something soon.
Darn it.
We did what we could.
Do you feel better?
Yes.
We got confirmation that we couldn't enter,
so now at least I know we did our best.
That's enough, then.
How long do you think Sang Ah will keep this up?
She used our kids to stop us...
from submitting our work to Hansung.
She might not stop at this. She could keep sabotaging us.
We can't do anything if she gets in our way...
or shackles us down.
You're right.
I guess I'd gotten my hopes up.
I suddenly feel cornered and helpless.
This is a shame,
but experiences like these make us better and stronger.
Let's think of it that way and forget about it.
Okay.
You canceled the Dubai competition application?
I thought long and hard as a director,
and I explained my reasoning to them both.
You didn't want them to waste time or energy on something they might not win?
Even I don't get that explanation.
Do you think they could?
- Dad. - Then what?
You won't let anyone...
enter any kind of competition in the future?
Will you run a company building houses for people you know?
Did I say that was my plan?
What is your plan, then?
If you didn't think they stood a chance, instead of making an arbitrary call,
you should've talked to Mr. Kim first.
Who wouldn't misinterpret your intentions here?
Whose side are you on, Dad?
So Woo and I are divorced.
And you know how things are between Seon Ju and I.
- So what? - They deny it,
but they aren't just colleagues.
They spend most of the day together.
Don't you care how I feel?
You talk as if you were betrayed first.
Does being betrayed first mean it's okay to feel hurt?
I'm your daughter while they're unrelated to you.
Shouldn't you try to understand me?
Children cause trouble when adults don't give them attention.
I get the motivation behind it.
I think I had an affair because I never had your approval.
Still, I tried to keep my emotions out of the matter...
and made the call for our firm.
I was going to recommend...
another competition they'd have a better chance at winning.
I didn't explain everything beforehand...
because I was nursing a bruised ego.
If you'll side with them and not care about my feelings,
you should promote them...
and make me their subordinate!
You...
You must have time to kill because you have no competition to enter.
Do you still have something to do?
Why? Will you cancel that for me too?
You're really something.
This is your father's company. Don't you care how it does?
You seem to care a lot about Jin Architecture.
Why don't you leave for the company's sake, then?
Do you think it won't function without you?
Are you that special?
As long as you're here,
you won't get to work on the project you want.
I'll make it so everything not just you do...
but So Woo does becomes nothing.
All the meaty projects will go to the other teams,
and the workers beneath him will have more accomplishments.
Remember that.
Your mom went to see her friends?
Yes.
Is it safe to let you do my hair from start to finish?
I'm pretty good now too.
It must be upsetting to go from dating a huge star...
to perming my hair.
Did he dump you?
He doesn't call at all?
I'm done with the rods. I'll put the cap on now.
It's okay.
Stars aren't that great, you know.
They become streamers anyway.
Jeong Woo Sang is not that great...
That hurts.
Don't yank my hair like that.
Sorry. I only meant to get it under the cap.
Goodness.
Oh, yes.
Why don't you start a YouTube channel?
Talk about how Jeong Woo Sang dumped you.
Forget it.
Stop turning your head. You're twisting the cap out of place.
Okay.
Hey, that hurts.
My gosh.
- Goodness. I'm so sorry. - What the...
- My hands slipped. - What's going on?
- What are you doing? - Sorry.
- My bad. - My goodness.
Your touch is way too rough for a girl your age.
- You almost gouged out my eyes. - I'm sorry.
We have to neutralize the chemicals in 30 minutes.
Be sure to be back by then.
Goodness.
Customers will come and go,
so wait here.
The house is empty during the day.
It should get quiet after her perm's done, so I'll come over soon.
Thanks for calling me.
Let's talk later.
Mi Ju.
Are you in the yard?
My gosh. Hey!
Get in here.
Hurry.
My feet are showing.
This is so heavy.
Mi Ju.
Goodness.
Oh, dear.
I have no energy left.
Mom. You said you'd stay out and have dinner with your friends.
I was going to,
but Hoon's mom passed out and was taken to the ER,
so we all left.
Hanging out with friends is something you should do when you're young.
Why didn't you have dinner with them since you'd all met up?
Leave it.
We weren't in the mood for it.
I bought a sack of fresh napa cabbage...
to make kimchi.
Why are you sitting out here?
You should've come to help...
when you heard me struggle with something heavy.
I was going to,
but I had a sudden stomachache and had to sit down to calm it.
What? Do you have diarrhea?
- Go to the toilet. - You get changed first.
Run to the toilet.
No. I don't think I should move right now.
Okay, then. I'll leave my jacket inside.
Okay.
Mom. I think I just sharted.
- Block your nose. - Okay.
- Get out of here now. - Fine.
Mi Ju. What are you doing out here?
Why didn't you go to the toilet?
I feel better all of a sudden.
It's so odd.
Okay, good. Go to the storage room and get me a radish.
Okay.
Goodness.
Where on earth is his office?
Mom.
Hello, Nam Jin. I'm here.
You could wait outside. Why did you come in?
A mom is allowed to look around her son's company.
It's not just your workplace. My future daughter-in-law works here too.
If you walk around behind this shelf, my office is over there.
I have to give this to another team.
Okay.
Oh, is this Sang Ah's office?
Sang Ah. Hello.
I came to see Nam Jin and wanted to see your office too.
Mother. I'm working right now.
Go ahead and work. I'll look.
My word. How much does a house like this cost?
Do you need to win the lottery to afford one?
Should I buy a ticket like Seon Ju did?
Seon Ju buys lottery tickets?
You're more likely to get struck by lightning than win the lottery,
but Seon Ju is silly like that.
She let the ticket roll around like trash then came asking about it.
She's scatterbrained, you see.
One time, Nam Jin threw away a ticket thinking it was a dud.
Did you tell your mother I bought the apartment?
I invested in cryptocurrency and made some money.
It was around the time I was getting divorced.
I thought I'd have to...
give Seon Ju half if I admitted to it.
That was why I said you'd bought the apartment.
Yes. Buying people homes must be a trend these days.
I heard you bought him an apartment.
You bought him a place?
No, I didn't. Nam Jin...
That's not the issue right now!
Why should we explain that to them?
Oh, dear.
The man should be higher up if a household is to work right.
Oh, well.
This is all very nice.
See you.
(Lottery Ticket Stores)
I heard the director will give us new tasks.
Really? What got into her now?
She'll redistribute...
the existing projects according to our performance.
That goes for the team leaders too.
We can't afford to get on her bad side.
You'll put off the second meeting?
Is there a reason...
As long as you're here,
you won't get to work on the project you want.
I'll make it so everything not just you do...
but So Woo does becomes nothing.
I see. I haven't heard anything yet.
Yes.
Okay.
Why don't you take a break, Mom?
It's just a few heads of cabbage and not worth taking a break.
It's better to rest when the work is done.
Don't you think you have too little stuffing?
Do you need more chili powder and pickled shrimp?
Do you think it needs some more? Okay, then.
Hey. You're making kimchi?
Yes. Is your hair done?
Yes. Do you need help?
I'd like that. I'll get more ingredients.
- Mix that up for me. - Okay.
Ma'am. Won't you go home?
How can you say that to someone who's staying to help your mom?
Mi Ju, take the comforter inside so we don't get kimchi on it.
Okay.
Pour that in.
You just need to coat the cabbages, right?
I'll do that. Go inside.
No. You don't know how much goes where.
You go to the salon.
Man Eun, don't you think the curls aren't tight enough to the side?
Let me see.
I'll do that side again for you.
- Will you? - Yes.
Get out quickly.
I'll come back to take care of it after I finish the kimchi.
It feels like I'm always making kimchi and there's never enough.
We have a big family,
and once I give you some as well as my upstairs neighbor,
the rest lasts less than a month.
- We're home. - We're home.
- You're making kimchi? - Yes.
You're home early.
Yes. We lost a project, and the head writer is in a bad mood.
We left work early.
Will you buy some pork and broil it, then?
- Are you serious? - You started at a new job,
so we should have some meat.
That sounds great.
Buy some extra for me too.
It's a warm day today. Shall we eat out here?
Wash your hands, kids. Let's eat out here.
- Okay. - Okay.
All the meaty projects will go to the other teams,
and the workers beneath him will have more accomplishments.
Remember that.
Ms. Pi. You won't go home?
I should.
You look a bit down.
Are you still upset about the Dubai competition?
No. I'm feeling down in general.
I'd say you're in the early stages of burnout.
You worked so hard,
but now that your goal is gone, you don't know what to do.
Is that it?
In that situation, you need to eat well.
Something like meat or raw fish?
Let's get some protein.
Instead of a place where we do the cooking,
how about a luxurious place where they cook for us?
- Just a moment. - Sure.
We're having broiled pork and geotjeori for dinner.
Hurry home.
They must be making kimchi.
We're to hurry back for broiled pork.
Let's go to a luxurious place next time...
and have Manjang-dong broiled pork today.
Manjang-dong broiled pork sounds great.
Let's go.
(Han Hair Line)
We're back.
We could smell the pork from the end of the street.
- We bought some beer. - Good for you.
Where did Mi Ju go without a word?
- Give her a call. - Okay.
A friend's mom passed away.
I'll be home late tonight.
Mi Ju went to a friend's for a funeral.
Did she sneak off somewhere to avoid doing any work?
She has been living quietly, working in the salon every day.
Yes. Leave her alone.
She was indoors for weeks after she got chewed out.
She would feel suffocated.
That's all that darn fool Jeong Woo Sang's fault.
He was good-looking, though.
No way. You're way better looking.
Take off your coat and sit down.
- Okay. - Come and sit down, kids.
- I'll leave my bag upstairs. - Okay.
The meat is so tender it melts in my mouth.
The kimchi is delicious too.
It must be tasty.
- Why won't he pick up? - The person is unable...
- to answer the phone. - My gosh.
Mom. I'm out with a friend to get some fresh air.
"Fresh air?"
Yes.
He would feel suffocated.
- Open wide. - Okay.
Dad, you too. Open wide.
Thanks.
I hope you all keep your jobs for a long time.
If you get fired or your company flops,
I'll make you pay for the food today.
Okay.
Kids. This is how you eat a ssam.
My gosh.
Seon Ju, slice some more pork.
Okay.
- Enjoy yourselves. - Thanks for the food.
- Sure. Eat all you want. - Thank you.
Why did you want to see me today?
I thought we should still talk even if it means it's over.
What? You called me over to end it with me?
I caused too much trouble and hurt for my family.
Knowing that was all because of you and Chu Ah,
I started to resent you both.
Not to mention the text you sent me.
What text?
You texted me saying it was over.
I did?
Did playing a guy with amnesia actually give you amnesia?
Look. You sent me this.
(Pi Mi Ju. We're not right for each other.)
What's this? I never sent anything like this.
What?
Then was it...
Jin Chu Ah?
I guess it was her.
Hey.
The person is unable to answer the phone. Transferring to voicemail.
He won't pick up?
Woo Sang. I'm having such a hard time.
Whenever I go out, it feels like people glance and whisper about me.
I've never felt so humiliated in my life.
I feel empty inside.
I need you to fill my soul.
I need your consolation more than ever right now.
Can I text her back instead this time?
Well...
Yes. Go ahead.
Jin Chu Ah...
How about I visit your parents this weekend?
We must discuss something else first.
Your mother's apartment.
You bought that with Seon Ju's lottery winnings, right?
Shall I wrap you a ssam?
No. We're done eating.
Sit and wait.
Here.
Open wide.
Thanks.
Do you have a small mouth?
- You always get food on your face. - What?
Shall I get it for you? Come closer.
No way. My sister and our homeowner?
(Desperate Mrs. Seon Ju)
I want to go back to those days.
You can't go back just because you want to.
Find someone else.
What if it's your director's order?
We're just about to think about getting to know each other.
You were having a great time.
I saw the love in your eyes.
Darn you.
Leave Mr. Kim alone and take it out on me.
Attack me. Why deal a low blow and target Mr. Kim?
Because that would be most efficient.
