(Episode 37)
(Identification Card, Seo Yu Ra, Seoul Metropolitan City, Gangnam-gu)
Check with the University of Cambri.
And tell Ms. Seo to come here immediately.
Yes, ma'am.
(President's Office)
(Passport, Seo Yu Ra)
What are these?
Okay.
Ms. Seo, the chairman is looking for you.
Did you get the fax?
It was you? The one who sent them?
Yes, it was me.
Stop it.
How dare you set me up with such papers!
But nobody will believe them anyway.
Set you up? There are plenty of pieces of evidence.
I even gave you time to come clean.
But I have nothing to confess.
I got my diploma from the University of Cambri.
I can show it to you all you want.
You probably fabricated it.
You're more than capable of doing so.
Stop kidding me.
I guess you tried to screw me up with fake evidence,
but tough luck.
I'm going to sue you for defamation and spreading false information.
You will? Be my guest.
It should be fun to see who the court decides is the real liar.
So go ahead.
Chairman Cha should have summoned you by now.
How strange.
Based on your conversation,
it seems like Ms. Seo didn't graduate from the University of Cambri.
- Is that true? - Yes.
Remember designer Lee Bom who went to the US not too long ago?
She said the two of them were classmates and best friends...
in university.
But something felt off.
I just remembered meeting Ra Ra for the first time.
I was about to shake her hand, but she's left-handed, as you know.
We held out our hands at the same time, and they bumped into each other.
It was so funny.
She's left-handed?
Oh, you didn't know?
Ra Ra's been left-handed since she was little.
She had a hard time correcting it.
She even places everything on the left side.
What is it?
(I have some information on Seo Yu Ra.)
(I'm a graduate of the University of Cambri.)
(I have information on Seo Yu Ra.)
I posted on social media asking for information.
And I got a good deal of them.
But they were very different...
from the Seo Yu Ra I know.
And here was what made it certain.
The real Seo Yu Ra got in touch.
She's currently in Finland.
Then is her name a fake too?
I don't know about that.
But her academic background certainly is.
If she had been nice to Seo Jun,
I would have overlooked it.
But now that I know she's the same as Cha Hwa Yeong,
I will not put up with her anymore.
How do you think Chairman Cha feels right now?
She had much pride in having such a perfect daughter-in-law.
Will she feel ashamed?
I doubt.
In their world,
they consider buying an academic background a natural right.
They might see such fabrication as a joke.
It's different from a fake diploma.
I bought it just like Jin A did.
How dare you compare her to you?
Mother, this...
What on earth are these?
Didn't Jin A go to university by donating?
I'm no different.
"No different?"
But you didn't attend university at all.
Technically, I'm a victim too.
The broker said they bought a degree from someone with the same name as me.
But that turned out to be a fake.
What nonsense is that?
You know very well that my career...
isn't a lie.
And how hard I helped you.
Excuse me. It's a call from my mom in the US.
Yes, Mom?
Yes. I'm doing fine.
What?
You want to invest in SA Group?
I'll call you back later.
My dad wants to withdraw his investment from overseas companies...
and invest in SA Group.
What should I do?
Lee Bom knows who you are, right?
Yes.
So you fooled me.
Lee Bom, the designer we sent to the US. Fire her right away.
Yes.
I'll overlook it this time, but not the next.
Remember that.
I will.
Let's talk about investment again at home.
Go and do your work.
This was all Yoo Soo Yeon's doing.
Just in case you didn't know.
Mom may have left you off the hook,
but not me.
Honey.
The design plagiarism last time, and your college degree this time.
There are more, right? Tell me.
What more are you hiding?
This is it.
What?
Yoo Soo Yeon is trying to come between us.
Stop glossing over the question.
You haven't answered me yet.
I'm Seo Yu Ra, just as you see me.
Not having a college diploma doesn't change who I am.
I overheard this while passing by the development team.
Apparently, Ms. Seo didn't graduate from the University of Cambri.
I think the fax we got earlier was about that.
Bring the material for the afternoon meeting if it's done.
Before that, shouldn't you tell us the truth about something?
The truth?
We heard you didn't graduate from the University of Cambri.
- Is that true? - So what?
I'm the company owner's daughter-in-law.
If you're not happy with it, tell me now.
Lots of people are dying to work in SA Group's design team, after all.
The meeting materials are coming right up.
I should give it my all.
(President's Office)
(Chairman Cha Hwa Yeong)
People do say all beings are good for something.
You're pretty good.
It's all thanks to you, Chairman Cha.
What were you after?
Jin Woo?
Did you want him to fall out of love with Yu Ra...
and return to you?
No. I was after you this time.
Weren't you so happy to have a perfect daughter-in-law?
Did you think that would shock me?
No one is flawless.
That's little enough to dust off.
If it had been me, wouldn't you have made me get a divorce?
Of course.
Do you think people are all the same?
Birth and status. Simply put,
the blood running inside doesn't change.
Even if your blood gets replaced with a noble's,
you can never become one.
Understood?
If a drop of my inferior blood...
mixes into yours,
will you get shaken up then?
Stop spouting nonsense. You will only lose...
by provoking me. When will you realize that?
I already know to my bones.
But know that I'm not going to get hurt alone now.
I will not let that happen.
Fine. Give it a shot.
I'll make you understand what fear is...
to your bones and every single one of your veins.
Yes, Auntie?
I'm done with my morning shift and about to go home.
Seo Jun?
Okay. I'll feed him something good.
Don't worry, and go to work.
Oh, gosh.
Get off already.
Seriously. It hurts. What now?
- Gosh. - I'll help you.
No, it's okay. Leave it.
I'll put it on myself.
Are you okay?
I was rude, wasn't I?
I'm sorry for touching you when you didn't want my help.
No, that's not it.
Don't apologize.
I am the one who's grateful.
It's just that...
you reminded me of my husband.
Your husband?
Yes.
My husband used to make me all my shoes.
Whenever he made a new pair for me,
he helped me put it on.
Your husband is such a sweet man.
Yes.
He was sweet, kind,
and good-natured.
Good-natured to the point where the deity took him early.
I apologize for the slip of the tongue.
No, it's okay.
The plant you sent me.
It's growing up well.
Do nutritional supplements work?
Then...
the person who sent me those wasn't the owner of the front store...
I left it on the doorknob because you weren't here.
Oh, my. Thank you.
Thanks to them, it's growing up well. Flowers will also bloom sooner or later.
I bet they'll be pretty.
Oh, right. How are you these days?
You seemed like you were having a rough time back then.
I suffer from panic disorder.
I have a hard time meeting people,
so I rarely go out.
I must have overworked myself that day.
Oh, I see. I didn't know.
My neighbor in the past suffered from panic disorder.
Although it didn't have a name back then.
Anyway, he had lots of friends,
but from some point on,
he couldn't even step outside the house.
Family and friends.
Ordinary daily lives like such feel extravagant at times.
Ordinary daily life isn't anything grand.
Listen.
I'll become one. Your friend.
I'm being serious.
(Kim Hye Kyung)
It's my phone number.
If you suffer like last time while you're out and about,
please call me.
It's okay, so call me.
When is he going to get here?
My makeup is perfect right now.
I hope he gets here soon.
Oh, my.
You finally came.
I've been waiting for so long.
Could I have my handkerchief?
You're so impatient.
Would you like to come to my store and have a cup of tea?
- It's okay. - Wait.
You're still here.
Keep this in your bag,
just in case.
Thank you. See you again.
Text me your phone number.
I'll let you know when the flowers bloom. Please come by to see them.
I will. Goodbye, then.
Why are you looking at me like that?
I can look wherever I want. Do you have a problem with that?
Why is she acting like that?
(Stamp Out Power Abuse)
Hold on.
(Stamp Out Power Abuse)
Did you get it?
Yes. I got a good angle.
Time's up, right?
I'm done for today.
Thank you, ma'am.
Oh, my eyes.
Are you shooting lasers at me or something?
I hope it's good for my skin at least.
- I'll be working off-site today. - Yes, sir.
(Stamp Out Power Abuse)
Let's go together, Dong Ha.
Don't you know what working off-site means?
It means I have to work.
Exactly. I'll accompany you to wherever you're going to work.
I might be late.
Don't wait for me to go home.
Have a good day.
Mr. Hong left the house this afternoon.
Okay. You can go now.
Yes, ma'am.
Director Park, it's me.
Tell me how Mr. Hong is doing lately.
You're saying there's not much change in his condition, right?
I understand.
She was so boastful about having a talented daughter-in-law...
that graduated from an internationally renowned university.
Are you saying it was all a lie?
That serves her right.
I wish I could've seen Cha Hwa Yeong's face.
Good work, Son.
I had no idea about this.
It was all Ms. Yoo and Uncle.
Uncle. Clue me in next time.
Ms. Yoo could've ended up in a difficult situation.
Don't worry, Son.
Your uncle was in the special forces.
He can help her if something happens.
Don't worry about Yoo Soo Yeon.
Focus on your own goals.
Here.
I'm done eating. I'll go.
You need to eat nutrient-rich foods to beat the midsummer heat.
- Open up. - Gosh.
Open up.
- Who is it? - It's Ms. Yoo.
I'll be in my room.
Oh, what do we do?
I opened the door for her.
- Gosh. - Oh, that hurts.
Chairman Ko. It's me.
- Go hide. - Be still. Don't even breathe.
- You came. - Hello.
Were you in the middle of a meal?
You should head inside and eat.
It's okay. I'm done.
If you're done eating, I'll make you some tea.
- I can do that. - Yes, you should.
Should we go into my study?
I didn't come for work.
Oh, I see.
Please sit.
I picked this up on the way here. It's for you.
Oh, my. I was meaning to buy this.
Does Chairman Cha eat this too?
Of course. She really takes care of her body well.
- I'll bring you some water. - No.
- Mr. Ko. - Yes, I heard you.
- Thanks. - Here's some water.
Thanks.
Open it.
I heard about Ms. Seo from Mr. Ko.
You really surprised Chairman Cha.
She didn't even blink. She said it didn't matter.
She's only saying that. I'm sure her ego was hurt.
I have a way to bring her down soon.
What is it?
Chairman Cha has a second set of books in her safe.
We can bring her down if we find it.
Her safe?
We won't be able to open that very easily.
I'm sure there's some way.
Let's take some time to think about it.
Yes, ma'am.
(Power Off)
I guess you have a guest over.
It's mine.
This is my work phone.
Bring the tea.
Oh, right. One second.
What are you thinking?
It's nothing. It just sounded like Mr. Kang's ringtone.
Goodness. There are so many people...
with the same ringtone.
Just go to a grocery store.
Phones ring all over the place.
They all sound the same. It's so noisy.
Never mind that.
Since we're talking about Mr. Kang,
what do you think of him?
What?
I mean, are you...
interested in him in a romantic way?
No, how could I? I don't.
So you're saying...
you don't have any feelings for him, right?
Yes. I'm really grateful to him for many reasons.
He's always by my side, taking care of me and helping me...
when things are tough.
He's such a warm and kind person.
I want him to meet someone much better than me...
and be happy.
I mean that sincerely.
I have to get pregnant somehow.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
Did he really turn off his phone...
because he didn't want to answer my calls?
No, there's no way. I'm sure his phone battery is just out.
Yu Ra, is it true?
I heard you lied about where you went to school.
You and I are pretty much the same.
I bought my degree with money.
You bought your way into school. It's all the same.
That makes no sense.
It's true we both used money. But you lied,
and I actually went to school.
How can that be the same?
That's kind of offensive.
You draw so well, Seo Jun.
Mom. I want to go to kindergarten.
Really?
You have to ride the bus. Are you going to be okay?
I can ride with Sunny.
He'll be scared for me.
Okay. I'll look into some kindergartens.
I'm hungry. I want tteokbokki.
Okay. Should we go eat some delicious tteokbokki...
and help Grandma?
Yes, that sounds great.
Goodness. What is this?
Is anyone there?
Is something wrong?
Look at this.
Can't you see this? Do I really have to tell you myself?
I meant to clean it when I was opening the store.
I'm sorry.
You opened the store a while ago.
Look at this dust.
Look. Did you really clean this?
Are you trying to run this whole building out of business?
Are you going to pay for everything...
if we all go out of business?
That's very harsh of you to say.
I'll clean it.
Here.
Over here.
Over there.
Can't you see all of the dust over here?
How dirty.
I'll make sure to clean this area more thoroughly from now on,
but people walk through this hall often,
so I can't promise to keep it completely dust-free.
Please understand.
- This lady... - Is there a fight going on? It's so loud.
Why are you cleaning all alone? It must be very exhausting.
The hall was so dirty,
so I was just voicing my complaint.
Complain somewhere else.
We all use this hallway together.
Why are you complaining to her?
- You... - Give it to me.
You're not needed here, you know.
Yes, I am.
That's why I'm helping. Why do you care?
- I'm your older sister, you punk. - Excuse me.
- Come here. - Gosh.
You're being so loud.
I think I've cleaned well enough.
Also, about the nutritional supplement for plants.
It was a gift from somebody else. Why did you lie to me?
Oh, that. Somehow...
things ended up that way.
If it upset you...
Yes, it did upset me.
I almost didn't get to thank him.
Don't do that again.
She's the one who rejected you. What are you looking at me for?
You were mean to her.
Now she hates me too.
Give up, then.
Don't regret it after losing everything.
Get yourself together and focus on running the store.
I'm going to do an inspection of the building.
Mr. Ko?
Do you like hamburgers?
What brings you here?
Did Chairman Ko tell you about our store?
No. I wasn't aware that you also ran a store on the side.
I came to my mom's store across the hall.
Your mom's store? Where?
My grandma's store is over there. The tteokbokki store.
Tteok...
So...
So you're Ms. Kim's...
Yes, I'm her daughter.
Oh, my head.
So...
Let's keep this a secret...
for now.
If my sister and your mother find out,
it's going to be an absolute mess.
Grandma!
Oh, my little puppy.
Why did you stop by the hamburger store instead of coming straight here?
I bought some burgers.
Seo Jun really liked them when you brought some last time.
The food is tasty and all,
but I can't step foot in that store because of the owner lady.
Actually, I don't want to.
Why? Did something happen between you two?
You have no idea.
She's so bossy.
Even my mother-in-law wasn't so bossy.
You should also try to avoid her.
She can be really exhausting.
Oh, okay.
Is this your last week?
Yes, ma'am. As I said last time,
I'll work until the end of this week.
Do as you wish.
Clean the kitchen thoroughly.
What is this? She didn't even ask me to stay.
I guess there are a lot of other people who want to come work here.
- Can you give me a glass of water? - Yes, ma'am.
Don't be too upset.
Lying about your education doesn't even count as fraud these days.
Such crimes used to be taken so much more seriously back in the day.
What a crazy world.
How did she find out?
She also knew about Seo Jun being sick.
Ms. Seo.
Ms. Lee told me to give you this.
Do you two know each other?
No. She just told me where your office was.
Hi, it's me.
I'm thinking of going to pick up Seo Jun.
Hi, Soo Yeon. It's me.
Are you with Seo Jun right now?
I think Yu Ra's going to go to our house to take Seo Jun.
Oh, really? That's good.
Don't go home until later.
Okay. I'll call you if anything happens.
Okay.
You can't mess with us...
Yes, I can.
(Gold Mask)
Chief Director Kang is in here.
President Hong is nowhere to be seen.
You want to connect him with Soo Yeon, so we can get him away from Jin A?
Young Ji. Is something wrong?
You drove me home.
Right, Dong Ha?
They're not just coworkers, you know.
There's already a rumor that they have a quid quo pro relationship.
Do you want to grab some coffee together?
Soo Yeon. You have to be strong.
Do you still have feelings for President Hong?
