(Jin Architecture)
(Episode 83)
Director.
Mr. Hyeon from Jeju Island is back. What should we do?
Shoot. Just say I'm away at a meeting.
I told him you were busy,
but he insisted on seeing you today.
The fussy old man.
We built his building years ago.
That doesn't give him the right to demand free consultations.
His jobs are too small and I'm not sure he even wants to hire us.
What shall I do?
Get security to escort him out.
- Okay. - No, wait.
Tell him to wait a while.
Okay.
Is something going on?
A client wants a consult with an interior designer. Why?
I need the latest updates on the K-Culture Town project.
- What for? - Father wants to take a look.
I guess he's wondering how things are going.
He called you for an update? Instead of me?
He must want me to update him.
Or perhaps he has something extra to talk to me about...
as my future father-in-law.
Don't worry.
Your secret is safe with me.
You talk as if you're the only one who has something on me.
We each have leverage on the other.
Let's not get on each other's nerves.
While we're at each other's throats,
do you know what Seon Ju and So Woo are up to?
They're all fired up. They're openly dating at work.
- What? - They were just in So Woo's office.
He held her hand to read her palm.
You don't believe it, do you?
I can't believe it either, and I saw it for myself.
(Director's Office, Jin Sang Ah)
- Shall I put them here? - Yes.
They're all fired up.
They're openly dating at work.
- See you. - Okay.
The local government is very interested and seems to have questions.
Make sure the interim briefing goes without a hitch.
Yes, sir. I'll do my best.
You have a wedding to prepare.
If you think it's too much, you can ask Mr. Kim for help.
- No. It's my job after all. - Okay.
By the way,
Taepyung Group is planning a theme park in Suwon.
Why don't we bid for that project?
You heard the news too?
I'm going to ask Mr. Kim to come up with a plan.
- Pardon? - He's the ideal one...
because he designed a similar park in Gyeongju.
You focus on the K-Culture Town project.
It feels like...
you still favor Mr. Kim over me.
Don't you think I should be the one...
you trust in and share more with, Father?
Don't say that.
Whatever the task may be,
I allocate it to the person I think can do best.
I'm not sure if you're aware,
but Mr. Kim...
is openly dating Ms. Pi.
- What? - I only told you because...
I don't want you to feel betrayed...
by someone you trust.
I'll leave you, then.
Here are the files you asked for.
- Goodbye. - Wait.
There's one more thing.
You said you had lots of free time.
Go to the first floor and meet with a client.
- A client? - He's a long-term client of ours,
and he wants to fix up his pastoral home, so do your best.
He seems to want to hire us,
so don't drop the ball and lose us the money, okay?
Hello.
I'm Pi Seon Ju, the interior designer with Planning Team One.
Darn you.
Did you see the time?
How dare you make me wait?
Oh, dear.
I'm so sorry.
I asked for Director Jin and she sent a novice?
I was a recent recruit, but I'm not a notice.
You want to fix up your pastoral home?
I went to some other places, but I didn't like any of their ideas.
I see.
What do you like?
The trend these days is black, gray,
monotone, or something like that.
Yes, that's right.
Nothing beats a touch of modernism.
No. That's hard on the eyes and a bit exhausting.
You're right. You want comfort, so you want a natural look.
How about a comfortable, warm look of solid wood...
No.
There must be something classic. That's the kind of style I want.
A classic look?
I want my house to look like Marie Antoinette would live there.
My gosh. That's a great idea.
That's it. You're incredible.
It feels like I'm talking to someone who dealt with people in a marketplace.
For a big company like this, you people have no class.
Class doesn't matter.
What matters is that you treat the client with sincerity.
You mentioned Marie Antoinette.
Isn't she the woman with curly hair?
So you want to keep Ms. Pi on the team?
I told you that the idea our chief liked was hers.
And she comes up with most of the new ideas right now.
Are you saying I'm doing less than her?
No. I'm saying we should focus on the program!
Please don't fight.
She didn't like my plan,
but I told her to keep quiet.
Why are you trying so hard to defend her?
I know that connections go a long way, but this is too much.
Are you trying to hide behind your director friend after pulling a con?
I'll say this now,
but your initial idea was far-fetched.
It was provocative, but there would be lots of problems down the line.
Didn't the chief green-light the program?
What does he know?
The directors and writers who do the actual work know better.
Some other director stole that idea and announced a production schedule.
- He should know better too. - Darn you!
What I mean is, couldn't you...
Your whole family has a shady past!
Are you pleased you got the job by seducing Director Jeong?
- How could you say that? - Yes!
I fell for her completely.
We racked our brains for weeks and couldn't come up with a decent idea.
She was stuck in a tiny realtor's office...
and still had such great ideas.
So I fell for her, okay?
I changed the age on her resume, so fire me.
Will that work?
What...
What did you say?
You heard, didn't you? I'm marrying Director Jin.
You announced that this morning.
You sound so proud.
You must be pleased you got what you wanted.
Congratulations. I really mean it.
The day our divorce was finalized,
you said I'd weep bloody tears and regret it more than anything.
I'll show you I made...
- the right choice. - No. I don't need to see that.
I just...
wish you happiness.
Why did you say all that?
What if Ms. Bae tells on you and you get fired?
I won't get fired for that.
And if I do, I'll find something else to do.
I'm sorry.
For being so old.
I'm sorry for telling you to lie about your age.
Don't say that.
You got me to work at a TV station.
I should thank you.
Why are you talking like it's all over? It's not over yet.
There's no need to tiptoe around now that the truth is out.
Come to work tomorrow and greet Ms. Bae as usual.
Do you think I can do that?
You can. It's not a problem.
I could do well too.
You're home?
Jin Ju. Are you drunk?
Yes.
I had a reason to.
Hey. We had our first meeting today.
Do you know who Jeong Woo Sang was cast with?
Who?
- Jin Chu Ah. - For real?
She's back on TV?
I know, right?
How dare she show her face again already?
She blew my cover and told the head writer I'd lied about my age.
I'm sick of her. She's everywhere.
So you didn't do anything about it?
Why didn't you yell in her face and call her the criminal she is?
I should've been there.
Hey. Do you want to come on too?
- Come on what? - Our program.
Are you serious? How?
If a rat like Chu Ah can come back, why can't you?
Do you think that's possible?
Just you wait.
- Hey, it's me. - Yes.
- Your sister? - Yes.
We want to get people hooked. Don't you think this would work?
Jin Chu Ah and my sister hate each other's guts.
- They do. - So...
let's tweak the concept we started with.
Instead of helping troubled celebrities start over,
we'll shift the focus to putting together two celebrity enemies.
Will that work?
It'll be the talk of the town.
We got the three troublemakers together.
Could you bring it up as if it were your idea?
Okay, bye.
Did he say yes? Am I in?
Let's see how things go tomorrow.
Mr. Jeong.
That variety show. I heard Chu Ah would be in it too.
Yes. I can't believe I'm stuck with her again.
I'll be there tomorrow.
You will? How come?
I told you my sister was a writer there.
She called your brother to ask for his help to get me on the show.
We're to see how things go tomorrow.
Auntie. Why are you on the phone in my room?
See you tomorrow, then.
Who were you talking to in secret, asking to meet tomorrow?
I wasn't on the phone in secret.
You're a kid who doesn't know anything.
You can't talk like that to your auntie.
It hurts.
Hey, how did today's meeting go?
It was okay, I guess.
Do you know who else was cast? Who will you work with?
One person I know of who was cast is Jin Chu Ah.
What? Why is she...
Couldn't they find anyone else?
I should talk to Tae Sang.
Leave him alone. It's final.
Why won't she leave you alone?
If one of them is Chu Ah, who's the other cast?
I don't know who else will be on it,
but it might be best for you if you don't try to find out.
Who is it?
Is it someone famous?
I don't know yet.
Find out when it's announced.
I want to shower. Get out.
- Leave. - Okay, I'm leaving.
Who? Pi Mi Ju?
- Ms. Pi's sister? - Yes.
Do you think this is a show about your family members?
Your brother and her sister...
Not to mention that Pi Mi Ju is a nobody.
She's not a complete nobody. People know her as Woo Sang's fiancee.
She was framed for causing an accident that Jin Chu Ah had caused,
and the three of them were in a love triangle.
You can't make up something like this.
Yes. The girl who was framed and the girl who did the framing.
Woo Sang and the girl who tried to dupe him into marrying her.
With these three, we don't need to cast anyone else.
Isn't it the hottest triangle ever?
It's a perfect cast.
Pi Mi Ju is the one person this cast can't do without.
Okay, fine. Let's go with all or nothing.
But you.
I'll work with you for now, but let's make something clear.
What?
Pi Jin Ju. I'll pretend you're 30 years old.
Don't expect special treatment because you're older.
I'll speak casually...
Of course you must. You can't go back to being polite.
And even if you're friends,
don't speak casually to the director while I'm around, okay?
Okay.
Even if we're family, if it's about work, I'll be careful how I address others.
So, I already told Mi Ju...
to come over for a meeting today.
Hey. Here she is.
Hello.
Take a seat.
Hello.
What is she doing here?
My gosh. How are you?
- This is my mother. - Welcome.
Hello. Welcome.
I can't believe you invited me over to meet you.
It's such an honor.
By the way, I brought some marinated raw crab.
You only smelled it last time. This time, you should taste it.
Shall we eat first?
Yes, sure.
My gosh. What a lovely place.
What is she doing here, Ms. Bae? I don't like her at all.
It was the director's idea. I was against it, but I had no choice.
Jeong Woo Sang was the chief's idea,
and you were mine,
so I had to accept their idea to cast Pi Mi Ju.
We can hear everything you say.
Can't you find someone else?
Chemistry plays a huge role in a show.
I think this is just fine.
It makes sense.
Okay. We confirmed the cast before the show's format,
so we must build the show around them.
Let's discuss that among ourselves.
The cast can join us later.
- Okay. - Okay.
You're getting in everyone's way.
I came here instead of attending a pre-wedding family gathering.
I can't believe I saw you.
What a rotten way to start a new show.
A pre-wedding gathering?
Is your sister getting married?
She can get married twice with a temper like that?
Don't.
Woo Sang. This is what she's like.
Who is she marrying?
My ex-brother-in-law?
- They suit each other perfectly. - What?
That woman is going to be your sister's mother-in-law?
I'd love to see how they get along.
You came to my wedding. Can I come to your sister's?
Shall I barge in like you did?
- How dare you... - Stop it.
Don't fight.
We need to make the show work...
and come out of it with a new image.
While we're filming, everything is business.
Let's do this.
- We can do this. - We can do this.
What do you think we can do with the three of them?
The two women are sworn enemies.
How about we set up an actual fight?
Something like...
"Enemy Wars, I Know You Don’t Like Me."
I like that.
Woo Sang can be the mediator.
What about the title?
How about "Star Wars?" We're starting a war.
Our cast isn't worthy of that title.
Neither Pi nor Jin are stars.
Let's go with "Enemy Wars."
Okay.
I enjoyed the meal so much.
My gosh. Mr. Jin. Your photo doesn't do you justice.
You're my ideal type.
You should've met me before you met Ms. Shim.
Why would you say that?
Mom.
I'm just kidding.
Where's the troublemaker younger daughter?
She had a meeting at the TV station.
There are people that still want to cast her?
So, did Nam Jin tell you?
That they'll live with me for a while after the wedding?
Sang Ah is dreadfully spoiled,
and she has a lot to learn.
That's not taunting or bullying. It's called educating.
- Listen, Ms. Wang. - Oh, right.
I'm a bit embarrassed that I have to say this...
Mom. What are you going to say?
It'll be a while before I see them again. I might as well speak up now.
Yes. Say what you'd like to say.
Nam Jin is a team leader and she's a director.
I don't know how far apart a team leader and director are,
but the man must be...
at least a step higher than the woman for the household to work.
We don't live in an era where...
It's not about the era.
A woman should look up to her husband.
You obey your husband because he does...
that much better than you.
Would you want to submit to him if he were beneath you?
Mother?
Let me say just one more thing.
I heard you decided to have a small wedding.
I gave out a lot of money at weddings I attended.
I need to invite a few friends.
You didn't hand out that much.
Drink your tea before it's too cold.
- Why would you say that? - Drink your tea.
This is what the second floor looks like?
I thought rich people had a living room the size of a soccer field.
Your downstairs living room isn't as big as I expected.
It's the size of my apartment.
This floor is pretty spacious.
Why are we up here?
Are you serious about making Sang Ah live with you?
I am.
You didn't teach her anything.
I have no choice but to teach her how to run a house.
Listen up.
You're messed up yourself.
- How dare you want to teach her? - What?
If you want to teach someone, teach your own son.
What's wrong with my son?
What about you? Your business.
It was supposed to go to Seon Ju's mom.
I heard everything.
What?
Who are you calling "messed up?"
Your husband doesn't know, does he?
I haven't told anyone because...
my sweet Nam Jin told me to keep quiet.
If you get on my nerves,
I'll go to Seon Ju's feisty mom and tell her everything.
Who are you calling "sweet?"
Are you even aware that Nam Jin stole his ex-wife's lottery ticket...
and bought you the apartment with the winnings?
- What? - How about...
I tell his ex-wife about that?
Seon Ju is just as feisty as her mom.
What? He stole his ex-wife's lottery ticket?
Did you buy this lottery ticket?
No. Where would I get the money for it?
You didn't buy this?
I didn't. Where did you find it?
Oh, it must've fallen out of Seon Ju's bag.
The truth is,
I bought it with my profits from trading cryptocurrency.
Oh, my gosh. Was that it?
That's not good.
Goodbye, then.
Drive her safely back. I'll see you at work.
Yes, sir.
Goodbye.
You're tall as well.
I've dealt with various clients for over 30 years,
but I've never met someone so weird.
Goodness.
I looked down on So Woo for being an orphan.
Now I see what a blessing that was.
I must put up with a fool and his mother too.
My gosh.
The frustration might kill me.
I'm going back to work.
Hey. Is what I heard true?
- What did you hear? - Sang Ah's mother said...
you stole Seon Ju's lottery ticket...
and bought this apartment with the money. Is that true?
That's nonsense.
It's hard to win the lottery.
Do you know anyone so lucky?
She has no reason to lie about that.
I have to get back to work.
My gosh. It's true, then.
How did she get so lucky?
Seon Ju's luck is usually rotten.
- Ms. Pi. - Yes?
Mr. Hyeon, the client you met yesterday.
Yes. What about him?
- He wants to hire us. - Does he really?
I heard he was a really picky guy.
Good for you.
He signed you on?
I thought he was shopping around for fun.
He said something about liking your marketplace humor.
What did you do?
I talked to him with the mindset that the client's happiness...
is my happiness.
"Marketplace humor?"
I don't have to hear what you said.
Pi Seon Ju. Don't you have any dignity or class as a designer?
Do you have to stoop so low...
to win a contract for Jin Architecture?
Take a copy of the contract to the upstairs meeting room.
You won't come with me?
It's your contract. Take care of it yourself.
I'd feel more assured if you were with me.
Shall I bring him to my office, then?
During work hours,
you two went to the rooftop for coffee.
And now you're co-signing a contract?
The break room and the office too.
You use the whole company to spend time together and date.
Don't you feel bad?
They're dating?
You didn't know? It's so obvious.
Are you dating?
- We're not. - You are.
You two even live in the same house.
- No way. - No way.
Don't be mistaken.
Ms. Pi is my tenant,
and she lives with her family.
Then you two got together, and that's called cohabiting.
Goodness.
Fine. Let's say you're right.
But I don't see why we deserve to be criticized by you.
Mr. Jeon and I...
put up with all sorts of ridicule while we dated.
You're dating in secret while living together.
That's sly and crafty.
Who's to say...
you two got together before Mr. Jeon and I?
Director Jin.
We're just about to sign on a new client.
You told Ms. Pi to meet him thinking she'd do poorly.
Did she aggravate you by making him a paying client?
Is that what this is about?
Congratulate an employee if they accomplish something.
Let's get Mr. Hyeon.
Okay.
Get back to work.
This is madness.
Those two had an affair,
and they're now dating?
I don't think that's a problem.
Director Jin can say what she wants,
- but we know she's in the wrong. - Yes, right.
Still, it's exhilarating.
I feel bad about getting a salary.
I feel like I should pay a spectator's fee.
(Executive Director, Jin Sang Ah)
You told Ms. Pi to meet him thinking she'd do poorly.
Did she aggravate you by making him a paying client?
Is that what this is about?
Congratulate an employee if they accomplish something.
Do you think the whole world is on your side?
I'll see how far you can go. Try as hard as you can.
Read this section carefully.
Let me see.
- Excuse me. - Sure.
Hello, Pi Seon Ju speaking.
Did you get the floor plan?
What?
(Executive Director, Jin Sang Ah)
Hello?
Where? Hansung?
Yes.
They sent the wrong floor plan?
Give me a moment to look into it.
Come to my office.
Bring Seon Ju.
Pi Seon Ju.
Did you email Hansung the final floor plan?
Yes.
Hello. We're looking into the matter.
I'll call you right back.
You sent a file that didn't incorporate any of their requested changes.
The builders ordered the material already. What will you do now?
That's impossible.
Are you calling me a liar?
You messed up...
and they ordered a million dollars worth of marble they don't need!
They want us to cover the expenses. What will you do about that?
What will you do about it?
(Desperate Mrs. Seon Ju)
Planning Team One Designer Pi Seon Ju.
We're dismissing her. Start the process.
Did Seon Ju really send the wrong file?
Did you mess with the files on my laptop?
You've lost your mind.
You're being paranoid.
Ms. Pi. Can I have a word?
Stop right there, Sang Ah.
I have something to say.
Why did you do it?
