(Episode 45)
Come on.
This way.
- Be careful. - Okay.
Slowly.
- Slowly. - Okay.
It's dangerous. You'll get hurt if you fall.
Slowly.
(TS Cosmetics)
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I should've told you that the electricity goes out at 8pm.
You must've been startled.
Well, I learned my lesson today.
Don't work until too late.
It makes me feel like a really bad boss.
I did it because I wanted to.
I need to complete designing the booth...
since you're going to the States soon. I'll have it done in time.
Did you eat dinner?
I was going to eat at home.
I'd eat with you, but I already ate with a client.
No, it's okay. I'll be off now.
Ji Young, you're being inconsistent.
You're the one who told him to back off.
- You're done with the booth design? - Yes.
You work really hard, Ji Young. I'm so proud of you.
(Noh Mi Hyun)
- What's wrong? - It's the Pink Monster.
Gosh, it's so early in the morning.
Hey, Ms. Noh.
Yes, I'm on my way. I'll be there soon.
Pardon? Oh, okay.
She wants me to buy coffee.
Does she not have any hands or feet? Why can't she go get one herself?
I'll buy coffee for everyone.
No, it's okay. You should go.
Gosh, it's so loud.
But you won't tell me anything
You must really love that song.
It keeps on playing.
Of all the songs...
I want to know even the smallest things about you
But you won't tell me anything
(TS Cosmetics)
So I'll just visit you in your dreams
Come in.
Hye Rim.
Hey, Min Kyung.
Have you been doing well? It's been so long, hasn't it?
Yes, it has. Have you been well?
I'm sorry.
It's okay. The entire country knows about me anyway.
If you search my name on the web,
the word "propofol" pops up as a related search word.
I can't even go anywhere. I just stay at home all day.
What brings you all the way here? You haven't been here in a while.
He's just so mean. He doesn't even want to eat with me.
How could he be so cold-hearted?
Who are you talking about? Sang Hyuk?
Who else would I talk about with you?
Is he not giving you your alimony? Is that why you're angry?
No, I already got the alimony.
Then you're angry because he just doesn't want to eat with you?
Seriously?
What's wrong with that?
Is he seeing someone these days?
You know something, don't you?
Come on. Tell me.
Why do you even want to know?
Things aren't really over between us.
Back then, I couldn't help it because of my situation.
You know how crazy he used to be about me.
Do you really think we can break up this easily?
Well, don't you think your divorce acts as evidence?
You're wrong.
Whatever. I'm not in the place to tell you what to do.
But if I were you, I'd let go of him.
At least make it a happy ending.
Thanks for the drink. I'll go now.
- Isn't she a celebrity? - Yes, she is.
Gosh, she's so pretty in real life. Why was she here?
Did she want propofol?
(CEO Shin Sang Hyuk)
It's great. I think we can just go ahead with this design.
Thank you.
Things are finally going smoothly now.
Wait a moment.
Hey, Steve. How are you?
Good. I'm good.
Guess what? We've got the designs for our booth.
Can you make it happen?
Okay, cool. I'll send you an email.
All right. Call me if you have any questions, okay?
Thanks. Ciao.
Ji Young, you've never visited our factory, have you?
Let's go.
I'll show you around, and you can monitor your designs.
How's the work? Is anything too difficult?
No, everyone's so nice.
The employees at the factory are all very curious about you...
because they know you're the one who designed our products.
I've also been curious about the factory.
That's good.
What's wrong with me?
(Hye Rim)
Hey. Yes, I'm going somewhere.
No, it's fine. You can talk.
Min Kyung dropped by.
Min Kyung? Why?
She asked me if you're seeing anyone.
So what did you tell her?
What was I supposed to say?
You should've told her that I am seeing someone.
What? You're seeing someone again? Are you serious?
No, but you could've just said that.
Or just tell her that I'm seeing you so that she'll never come back.
Forget it. I don't want her to beat me up.
What's wrong with her? Why would she even go to you?
I think she still likes you. You know how weird she is.
I called because I got worried. I thought I should let you know.
Okay, thanks.
Oh, right. I'm going to the States on a business trip soon,
so I'll see you when I get back.
Okay, I'll call you.
Bye.
She's a friend. We've been best friends ever since high school.
I see.
It sounded like a woman.
Yes.
I'm surprised you guys are still close.
Male and female friends tend to fall apart once they get married.
I know, right? But she's still single.
She's really pretty, but she's not interested in dating.
Is it hot? Do you want me to power up the air conditioner?
It's okay.
Why am I getting angry? I have no right to be angry.
This is what I wanted.
Stop overreacting. Stop being so hypocritical.
- You hypocrite! - What? Pardon?
You startled me.
"First, after taking over Jeya Shoes,"
"we shall acknowledge the contributions of their workers."
"Secondly, Jeya Shoes and our company..."
"shall split the after service costs in half."
That's enough!
Why don't you get the message?
Do you think this is why I asked you to take over the shoe company?
The workers there are registered as individual businesses.
So no one pays for their insurance, and they don't even get pensions.
They work 15 hours a day, so we need to make sure they get paid right.
My gosh.
They're registered as individual businessmen.
They're not our employees, so why would you raise their pay?
After getting rid of the commission, you won't have anything left.
They're practically our employees.
They've been complaining about their harsh work conditions.
Something bad will happen if we don't do anything about it.
What? Gosh, forget it. I'm done with the meeting.
We need to talk.
About what? Are you going to tell me the same thing my dad told me?
He didn't say anything wrong.
Why don't you just send them to a subcontractor?
A subcontractor?
Do you think that's the solution?
Subcontractors will only make them work harder.
If we do that, we'll only be putting them in more trouble.
You're a businessman, not a charity worker.
That's enough.
It's not like I can let Sang Hyuk take over the company.
Gosh, of course. Your eldest son contributed way more.
He should be the one to take your place.
Why don't you try releasing a catfish?
A catfish?
Are you talking about the fish?
When there's a catfish, the other fish try hard to survive.
- Grandpa. - My dear.
Oh, right.
- Where's your grandma? - She's getting a heat massage.
What are you doing?
My gosh.
You didn't even come out to greet me.
My goodness.
I lied down and fell asleep because I was tired.
Call Sang Hyuk and tell him to come home for dinner.
Why?
Just do as I say. Don't ask any questions.
Okay.
What are you doing? Move over.
Where are you going? Massage my feet.
What? You want me to massage your feet?
Gosh, just sit down and do it.
That's nice.
Isn't this enough? Must you get a foot massage?
Hey.
The day's over now that we're back from the factory.
You must be tired from all the driving.
No, I'm fine. Driving is my hobby.
I told you. I used to be a car racer.
You used to be an idol star, a car racer, and a CEO of an agency.
You did so many things.
My life is filled with so many ups and downs.
Just a moment.
Hey, Mom.
Yes.
Dinner?
No, I don't have an appointment.
Actually, I do have an appointment.
Hello? Hello? Mom?
My gosh.
Why would she hang up? I said I have an appointment.
- You have a dinner appointment? - No, that was a lie.
I lied because she asked me to come home for dinner.
They keep asking me to go on a blind date.
My parents really want me to have children.
All parents are like that.
You should hurry up and make them happy.
Do you think so?
Then should I go on a blind date?
- Welcome home. - Tae Woong.
Uncle Sang Hyuk.
- Come inside. - Okay.
Tae Woong, have you been well? You've grown so much.
My gosh, he's finally smiling now that you're here.
Why? Did something bad happen?
He moved to a new kindergarten, so he's sad about that.
I miss Ms. Wendy.
Really? Who's Ms. Wendy?
She used to be his art teacher, but she quit now.
He keeps saying he misses her even if we keep saying no.
Honey, Sang Hyuk's here.
You're attending an exhibition in Las Vegas?
All the cosmetic brands around the world are coming.
So we decided to participate as well.
Yes, you should go to places like that...
to get to know the buyers and settle a deal.
Exactly.
I'm going to try entering the American market while I'm there.
My goal is to have our products sold at Serapho Department Store.
That's a world-famous department store.
Our goal is to sell our products in that department store as well.
I have something to say.
Sang Hyuk.
Our company recently took over a shoe company.
Would you like to manage that?
It's a shoe company...
that your brother recently took over, but it's not doing well.
There are a lot of problems, and it's giving me a headache.
And your brother has a lot on his plate,
so why don't you give it a try?
Father.
Just stay still.
What do you say?
I'm not interested.
What?
I'm going to walk my own path.
You and I have very different management philosophies.
I don't want to work for you and do things the way you want.
I'm going to grow my company using my own way and methods.
Now I know why Father wanted Sang Hyuk over for dinner.
Are you going to continue being stubborn?
You should give in for now.
Later on when your father retires...
and you become the chairman,
that's when you can do things the way you want.
Whose side are you on?
What are you talking about?
Of course I'm on your side.
You're on my side?
Do you really think so?
If I do become the chairman...
and announce that I'm going to change everything that's wrong,
will you be able to support me?
Of course. If you do well, I'll support you all the way.
I think we'll end up fighting regarding every little detail.
We have very different mindsets.
I only recently realized that.
I got to know what it is that you pursue.
Honey.
What's wrong?
15 years ago,
you were just a rookie employee in the Planning Team.
But you were straightforward about saying what's wrong is wrong,
and you worked very hard.
You didn't give in to power,
and you were witty enough to settle a deal.
You were pure but smart, and that's why I fell for you.
I thought of you as someone who had the same kind of mindset as me.
But I'm not sure of that anymore.
You feel like a stranger.
You're no longer the woman I fell in love with.
I did my best in every way I could for you.
You're the first and last man...
I ever fell in love with.
You're the person I love the most.
I'm doing my best to fight, and it's all for you.
Welcome.
Thank you.
- I'm sorry. - Wait.
What's this?
You've been following me around for a while now.
Was it because of this?
I wasn't going to steal it. I was just going to borrow it.
Oh, is that what they call it these days? Borrowing?
I'm telling the truth.
Then, tell me. How much were you going to borrow?
- 100 dollars. - 100 dollars?
So you were going to borrow money from me and a few other people?
Then you would've ended up at a police station.
- I can pay you back. - How?
Fine, I'll be your girlfriend.
You're quite brazen for your age.
Forget it if you don't want to lend me money.
Wait.
You don't need to be my girlfriend. Just don't steal from other people.
This is where I work. Call me when you're capable of paying me back.
(CEO, Shin Sang Hyuk)
Really? You're going to do it?
Of course. Your mom also agreed to it.
There are a wide range of customers from young people to elders.
And the head office takes care of everything for you.
That's incredible. Then we'll get to eat a lot of meat from now on.
What are you saying? You should be bringing customers.
Then what's going to happen to your cosmetics store?
I'm going to close it down. Your dad can't work by himself.
I'm sure it'll do well if you work together.
Uncle Dong Man's very sociable.
And Aunt Ki Sook, you're very kind, so you'll have a lot of regulars.
She'll have a lot of regulars, but she won't be able to make profit.
My mom loves giving stuff, so the place will be packed with people.
Gosh, shut it.
Do you expect me to be stingy with food?
See? That's how my mom is.
Just give them everything. What's the big deal?
You should've told her that I am seeing someone.
No, but you could've just said that.
Or just tell her that I'm seeing you so that she'll never come back.
She's a friend. We've been best friends ever since high school.
But she's still single. She's really pretty,
I wonder how pretty she is.
I'll see you guys when I get back. You better work hard.
And call me if anything happens.
Okay. I'll take care of this place, so don't worry and have a safe trip.
Take good care of Mr. Shin.
Of course. I'm a professional at accompanying people.
I have years of experience accompanying celebrities,
so I'll use that knowledge to protect you.
Take care of your own self. Don't go bankrupt in Las Vegas.
I should at least play the slots while I'm there.
My gosh.
When do you come back?
Sunday night. I'll see you guys next Monday.
- Okay. Have a safe trip. - Have a safe trip.
Have a safe trip.
Stay well.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I'll open the door. I'll protect you. Let's go.
Bye.
We're finally going to the States. Let's get it, baby.
My gosh.
Oh, right. I left something in my office.
What? I'll ask Se Young to bring it for you.
No, it's okay. I'll go.
- Okay. - Wait for me in the car.
- Okay, don't take long. - Okay.
Yes, Mr. Shin.
Okay, I'll take it downstairs.
Here.
Thank you. It's an important document.
I guess I'll see you in 10 days.
Don't get sick,
eat well, adjust well to the time difference, and...
I'm going to miss you.
I'll call you.
(Pregnant, Not pregnant)
(I am also Mother)
Honey, let's do what your father says for now.
You're earning a lot of points, so what's there to worry about?
- She had a secret kid. - What?
Mom, what's a secret kid?
Your friend's taking care of your nephew?
Hye Rim. She's close with everyone in our family.
So my nephew calls her "Auntie".
You guys must be really close.
What's this? Are you jealous?
Is Hyun Joon your first love?
