(Episode 25)
Hey, Ji Young.
Did you meet Mr. Shin?
- Yes. - How did it go?
Did he like your design?
I think so. He said he's going to start manufacturing right away.
I knew he'd love your design.
He's one lucky guy...
to have met someone like you.
Doesn't it feel nice now that you're working again?
Don't let your talent go to waste.
You should slowly start working again.
Welcome. Hello.
How can I help you?
I'm here to buy lipstick.
Oh, okay. Hot red lipstick is in trend this summer.
Why don't you try this out?
- The mirror's over here. - Okay.
My gosh.
- The best. - What?
She's the best designer.
Did the store manager's niece...
really design this?
Yes.
Hey, we should launch our products on a home shopping channel.
- A home shopping channel? - A home shopping channel?
Come and eat dinner.
Did you cook everything?
My gosh.
It tastes amazing.
It's delicious.
I'm so happy to see Ji Young smile brightly again.
Me too.
I know, right? It's time for her to cheer up and move on.
What do you plan to do now?
Are you going to take the teacher certification examination again?
You should study for the test before it gets too late.
You're smart,
so it won't take you too long to pass.
It'll be so nice if you become a teacher.
I'm not going to take the test.
- Why not? - Why not?
I want a job that's related to taking care of children.
Like working at a daycare center.
Ji Young, why don't you just put it all in the past?
You should put it all behind you and start living your life.
That's what I'm trying to do.
I want to give the other children...
what I couldn't give to Joon Su.
I think that's how I'll be able to get better.
Hello, sir. It's Sang Hyuk.
How's your business going?
I hope it's going well.
Well, I called you because...
I was wondering if you could introduce...
the home shopping merchandiser that was in charge of selling your stuff.
Yes, I'm also thinking about selling my products via home shopping.
But it's quite hard to get through.
You're the only person I can ask for help.
Please help me out.
(Hiring a nursing teacher)
(Busan Bright Daycare Center: Hiring a nursing teacher)
The main selling point of our products...
is that they were made by master craftsmen.
- And the products... - Okay, I get it.
You've explained enough.
We have to go to another meeting.
Sir.
- Please give us another chance. - I'll contact you.
They didn't look very enthusiastic.
You don't think they'll call, do you?
Mr. Shin.
A lot of people are aware of our brand now...
since we've consistently done online marketing.
So let's just stick to internet shopping malls and road shops.
It's hard to launch our products via home shopping,
and we can't even guarantee that it'll do well.
He's right.
I think it might be better to give home shopping another try...
after we sell more products and increase our sales.
I can already see what's going on.
What do you mean?
He didn't listen to...
any of the things we just said to him.
Merchandiser, thank you so much for giving us a chance...
to pitch our products to you.
We tried our best, but it seems like our sincerity didn't reach you.
So I mustered up my courage to write you this letter.
A cosmetics business?
How's he doing?
He's marketing his brand and products online.
But it's not very well-known in the market yet.
He probably didn't have any money.
Where did he get the investment?
I'm not sure about that.
But your brother tends to be very friendly,
and he's good at winning people's hearts.
This brat.
CEO Shin asked me to look into how his younger brother is doing,
so I submitted a report. I brought one for you too.
Forget it. I'm not interested.
I don't care what that punk is up to.
I'll excuse myself.
Cosmetics?
My gosh, this punk.
I worked in the entertainment business for a very long time.
And as I worked alongside many actors and singers,
my interest and understanding for cosmetics was able to grow.
And I've noticed that celebrities...
didn't always use expensive makeup products.
When it came to daily care products that are used every day,
I went to each store myself...
and did my research on many products.
And that's when I was able to find out...
that some products were being neglected in the market...
just because of its brand awareness or bad design.
I was certain...
that the cosmetics made by these master craftsmen...
would be able to capture the consumers' hearts.
I'm sending you a USB...
with a voice recording of these master craftsmen.
Please have a listen.
It's so pretty.
The design came out great.
It looks like a luxury brand product now that we've changed the design.
Let's take this to the stores.
I already talked to all the store managers,
so I'm sure they'll make at least the basic amount of orders.
But we haven't heard from the merchandiser again.
I guess we have no hope.
Yes, this is Shin Sang Hyuk.
Thank you for your letter.
I've never received a letter like this before.
I see.
I was quite skeptical about whether your products will sell or not.
That's why I hesitated.
But your letter changed my mind.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
But would it be okay if we launch your products late at night?
The company that was fixed for that hour suddenly went bankrupt.
So that time slot has suddenly become available.
And we need someone to fill in. Are you available?
Yes, that's fine.
We'll do it no matter what.
That's great. Congratulations.
It's all thanks to you. Thank you so much.
What are you talking about? I only made a suggestion.
I didn't know you'd actually do it.
You're incredible.
Oh, by the way...
I brought our product. I wanted to give it to you first.
Have a look.
It's nice.
The color and design came out just the way I pictured it in my head.
My employee called you the best.
He thinks you're the best designer.
That's too grand.
When are you launching your product on the home shopping channel?
We kind of made a sudden arrangement.
It's going to air at 1am the day after tomorrow.
It's going to air that late?
One company ended up going bankrupt,
so we're filling in for them.
I should be grateful for that.
A lot of young people sleep really late these days,
so I guess you can't call it the worst.
I think you'll do well...
if you focus on touching the hearts of young people.
I agree. That's actually what we're trying to focus on.
We're also trying to...
cast popular celebrities and have them appear on the show.
That's great. I hope it'll go well.
Please give me a call after the show.
I'd like to know how it went.
That'll be around 2am. Will you still be awake?
Yes, of course.
I'll be awake watching the show, so it's okay.
Please call me.
Okay.
Hello?
Yes, I'm Yoon Ji Young.
I cast Hwang Mi Ji.
I got her to appear as a guest on our launching show.
Hey, good job. You did great.
She didn't have any right to reject me anyway.
I'm the reason she became so famous.
I got a call from her earlier,
and she asked me who Han Dong Soo was.
What?
She... She doesn't know me?
She said she heard about you from her manager,
but she can't remember who you are.
She agreed to come on the show to thank Mr. Shin.
No way. That can't be.
She and I... We...
Forget it.
Get over here and start writing the script for tomorrow's show.
My gosh.
As I was saying...
That's so nice.
I can't believe he's even launching his product via home shopping.
Did you say it's airing tonight?
It's actually airing at 1am.
That's too late.
Who would watch the show?
A lot of young people stay awake until then and watch the show.
Really? I hope everything goes well.
By the way, Se Young told me that he'll be coming home today.
Mom.
My son!
Come on. I'm the highest ranking soldier in my barrack.
I'm this close to getting promoted to a sergeant.
You can't treat me like a baby anymore.
My gosh, good for you.
Ji Young.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you.
Thanks.
I really miss Joon Su.
My gosh.
I told you not to talk about him.
You didn't have to hit me.
Even my seniors don't hit me.
I'm fine, Aunt Ki Sook.
I need to overcome it now.
I'm glad you're here on a leave, Se Young.
I was worried that I wouldn't get to see you before I leave.
What? What are you talking about?
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to go to Busan.
- Why? - Why?
My gosh.
I wonder if it's because I've been holding the baby all day.
My shoulders are killing me.
Kyung Shin, please give me a cup of tea.
Hey, Sun Jung. Have you been doing well?
Yes, of course. I'm doing well.
Oh, really?
You must've heard.
Hyun Joon has a son now.
She was actually pregnant back then.
But we didn't say anything because we wanted to be careful.
She's really tiny, so her belly didn't show that much.
We couldn't tell she was pregnant even toward the end.
Okay, thank you.
Are you doing well?
Okay.
Call me frequently.
Sun Jung should've been my daughter-in-law.
But that's never going to happen now.
My gosh, what a pity.
My goodness.
When did you come?
You should've made some kind of noise or something.
Why did you stand there secretly and eavesdrop?
Hey.
Your mother-in-law's calling you.
Can't you hear me?
Go get me a cup of green tea.
You can get it yourself.
Sun Jung?
Go ahead and keep liking her.
Let's see what will happen to you in the future.
You're going to work at a daycare center in Busan?
Gosh, why are you going so far away?
Why can't you just work in Seoul?
I wanted to go somewhere far away.
If I stay here, I keep getting reminded of Joon Su.
I want to live near the sea and forget about everything.
Gosh, but I can't get over the fact that you're leaving.
You don't even know anyone in Busan.
She's right. When are you leaving?
- Tomorrow. - What? That early?
I think they're in a hurry.
They want me to work starting from next week.
And in order to do that, I have to go there tomorrow.
I need to find a place to live.
You're right.
I'll be going back to my unit the day after tomorrow.
I guess this is going to be the end.
You can come visit me in Busan once you get discharged.
Once I get discharged?
Mom, can you send me some books to my unit?
I need some TOEIC books.
What's gotten into you?
Why do you want books?
I'm starting to get worried now that I'm almost a sergeant.
I'll be getting discharged soon.
I need to get ready to get a job.
I need to prepare for my future.
My goodness, my son's finally matured.
My gosh.
It's normal for guys to mature once they become a corporal.
Then...
let's make a toast for both Ji Young and Se Young's bright future.
- Nice. - Okay.
For both Ji Young and Se Young's bright future.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
We have 10 minutes left.
Please check if everything's ready.
Okay.
Hey, Mi Ji.
Just stay bright and cheerful like you always are.
And it's quite late at night, so please stay energetic.
- Okay? - Okay. We can do this.
- Please do your best. - Okay. Let's do this.
Let's do this.
Okay.
Everything's ready.
Okay, I want everyone on standby.
Cheers.
You don't know how to do anything, Dad.
- You're always nothing but words. - My gosh.
The army's become so laid back and easy nowadays.
How is that even an army?
Back in my days...
My gosh, stop talking about the past.
You're always talking about the past.
Things are hard for me too.
Do you know how hard the trainings are?
- My gosh, that's enough. - What did you say?
You'll end up spending all night talking about the army.
It's 1am.
It starts at 1am.
- Hey, get over here. - Bong Kyu.
Go sleep in your room.
Have you walked 100km?
- Have you? - Of course.
It's starting. Ji Young, let's watch.
Don't lie to me. You didn't walk that much.
The show's starting now.
- Hello. - Hello.
Everyone talks about the importance of small happiness these days.
Small but great happiness.
And today, you'll be able to achieve...
great happiness with a small investment.
A group of master craftsmen in cosmetics...
have gathered together to make a small promise.
And we're here to introduce Petit Parole,
a promise made by all those master craftsmen.
Isn't it great?
I'm pretty sure a lot of people have been waiting for this launch.
Women in their 30s...
tend to envy friends who get married to...
- a nice man. - We're not getting a lot of calls.
- And women in their 40s... - My gosh.
- envy friends with smart kids. - It's too late at night.
But once they're in their 50s,
women start to envy friends who have good skin.
We still have hope.
If we use products from Petit Parole...
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about that dish...
where you fry the entire chicken.
Are you talking about roasted chicken?
You don't even know your vocabulary since you've never...
- been to the army. - What are you talking about?
- Mom told me everything. - What did she tell you?
- I heard you got exempted. - What?
- Did your mom... - Mom told me everything.
- Did she tell you that? - Yes.
Your skin gets dry.
And when you're tired, you get huge dark circles.
But let me tell you something.
- You'll be able to... - We don't have much time left.
get rid of everything with these products made by master craftsmen.
All you need to do is use these products every day.
We have a great line of products today.
And you can only buy this set through this show.
We only prepared a limited amount of supplies.
So I hope you'll give it a shot...
and see how good these products are for your skin.
(Mr. Shin will be making an appearance!)
We actually have...
the CEO of Petit Parole here with us on the show.
Let's invite him over and hear about the brand more specifically.
Mr. Shin?
- Welcome. - Hello.
Hello, everyone. I'm Shin Sang Hyuk, the CEO of Petit Parole.
Mr. Shin.
How exactly would you describe the brand?
I don't really have much to say.
- Pardon? - What?
What do you mean?
I only came here to show you...
who made these products and what kind of people they are.
Let's take a look at the screen.
I'm not very well-educated,
but I've spent the last 30 years making essence products.
I only focused on making...
something that I'd be willing to use myself.
(Lee Myung Hoon, CEO of Lael Essence)
I wanted to make something that my daughter could use...
because my daughter kept getting rashes on her face.
It's quite upsetting.
I don't get why people can't see how good our products are.
Even if I make the same product,
a foreign luxury brand would sell it...
10 times more expensive than ours.
I quit working at a luxury brand and started a business of my own,
so that everyone could use a great quality product.
I only use good ingredients.
- Things that are good for our skin. - People are making calls.
- We use natural ingredients. - My gosh.
But what's the use?
People only like expensive and fancy products.
They want what's good for the eyes.
(Man Sun Ho, CEO of Manjok Essence)
It's quite frustrating.
Cosmetics should be good for people's skin.
I'm being serious.
Many people have started calling us now.
The products are getting sold at an alarming rate.
It's only our first show, but it's already doing great.
You really shouldn't miss this chance.
We only have 15 minutes left. You better hurry up.
You no longer need to wait.
There are so many people waiting to get through.
But you can use our mobile application.
I recommend you to make an automatic order through our application.
- We only have 10 minutes left. - 10 minutes.
You might not get another chance to buy these via home shopping.
- She's right. - This is amazing.
- It really is. - It's only their first show.
I can't believe so many people...
are placing orders at this hour.
- Don't miss your chance. - Please call...
right now.
Hello? Ms. Yoon.
Did you watch the show?
We did so great.
Congratulations.
I'm so happy for you.
This is all thanks to you. Thank you so much.
I'm the one who should be thankful.
Thank you for letting me design your products.
I hope your business keeps growing in the future.
Thank you so much.
Goodnight. I'll call you again.
Okay, bye.
You called her...
as soon as the show ended...
even at this hour?
She wanted me to call her.
I see.
My gosh.
Sang Hyuk started a cosmetics business.
He launched his products via home shopping last night,
and he sold quite a lot.
Really? He did?
My goodness.
What's the big deal about selling a few cosmetic products?
Starting a business isn't easy, you know.
How is he going to make profit...
when there are so many people jumping in the cosmetics business?
He needs to do something that not everyone does.
He doesn't even know anything. My gosh.
But he's off to a great start.
I'm so proud of Sang Hyuk.
How much did he sell?
Was it a hit? Did he sell a lot?
- How did he manage to... - Gosh, be quiet.
He won't last long.
A lot of companies disappear overnight...
in that field of business.
So...
just eat your food.
- Cheers. - Oh, okay.
- Here we go. - Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Drink up.
That was incredible.
Wasn't it a great start?
He's right. We really sold a lot.
You should've asked the designer to join us.
We practically succeeded thanks to her design.
I'm thinking about hiring her as the head designer.
- I really think you should. - Me too.
Great. I should give her a call.
Wait.
Let's make a sudden announcement.
Let's surprise her.
That's a good idea.
You should show up and say,
"You're fired."
She's fired?
From being jobless.
She's free from being jobless now.
My gosh.
How lame.
It may seem a bit childish, but let's try surprising her.
Okay.
Here you go.
Joon Su.
I'm going to Busan.
But I'm sure we'll be able to meet someday.
I'm sure we'll be able to meet...
even if that's going to take a long time.
A mother and son...
are bound to meet one day.
(Yoon Ji Young)
(Oh Hye Rim)
Your home shopping launch did great yesterday.
Yes, did you watch the show?
You texted me telling me to watch it.
I bought a set to help you out.
Oh, really? Good job.
You can use our products to become pretty and get married.
Mind your own business.
Anyway, congratulations. I hope you earn a lot of money.
Bye.
Sang Hyuk's amazing.
Hey, Mom.
You want me to go on another blind date?
I already went on one last week.
36 isn't that old.
I'll get married when I want to.
Okay, fine.
I'll think about it. Okay, bye.
Does she want you to go on a blind date?
I don't get why she can't give up.
You're pretty, and you're a doctor.
You can get married right away if you want to.
I don't really like anyone,
and I'm not sure if marriage is a must.
I'll get married if things naturally unfold in that direction.
You're right.
My parents are nagging at me now that I'm 29 years old.
And it's a little annoying.
I'll have to get pregnant once I get married.
And once I have a baby, my life will pass by so quickly.
It's kind of upsetting. I'll be the only one losing out.
I know.
I really don't feel uncomfortable about living alone.
And that's how you'll end up single for the rest of your life.
What's so bad about that?
Marriage isn't a must.
You're right. Marriage is a choice.
It's not necessary.
Exactly.
Call me as soon as you arrive.
Okay.
Thank you, Aunt Ki Sook.
Bye.
And stay healthy, okay?
Good luck.
Okay. Good luck.
What? She went to Busan?
She left just now.
Didn't you see her on your way here?
When will she return?
She's not going to.
She got a job at a daycare center.
I don't know when she'll come back.
The person you have reached is not available. Please leave a message...
(I am also Mother)
My gosh, what's wrong with you?
You seem to have a grudge against his mother.
Are you taking it out on him?
Who told you that?
Someone wrote another article about our company.
"The most credible CEO of the cosmetics industry,"
"Mr. Shin Sang Hyuk".
- What did you say? - Your contract's expired.
You don't need to come to work starting from tomorrow.
- I wonder how she's doing. - Who?
What are you going to do now?
What do you think about going to Seoul?
