Did you cry?
No.
You always get a rash under your eyes after you cry.
No, I didn't cry.
I rubbed my eyes because I was tired.
I hope you don't have to cry anymore.
Yes, everything's fine.
I'm so happy these days.
I get to do what I've always wanted to do. I'm enjoying my life.
Can you spare me some time after the first contest?
For what?
I want to check something with you.
What do you want to check?
The past that you've erased.
Can I erase it from my mind as well?
Do I no longer have to live inside the memories?
Should I accept the fact...
that you now have someone else?
That's what I want to check.
Do you have to check that?
Only then can I be free.
Later. Let's talk some other time.
I'll be in touch.
All right. I'll be waiting.
I stepped out for a few minutes, and you're already slacking off?
I'm not slacking off.
I'm on my way to the auditorium to check the lights.
Do you want to come?
"Check the lights"?
You sure love to check things.
Must you check everything to know?
Well, then shall I not check?
Why not? You should.
But buy me a large can of soda before we go.
Soda? Why?
I feel as if I'm choking on 100 sweet potatoes.
My gosh, what did you eat?
Will you get one for me or not?
I will, of course.
- Let's go, then. - What?
Why do you keep going to the washroom all day?
Did you eat something bad?
I guess I did. My stomach is hurting a little.
But you didn't even have lunch.
Are you nervous because of the contest tomorrow?
I guess so.
You must be nervous.
It is nerve-racking to show your designs for the very first time.
Let's call it a day.
This early?
We're perfectly ready for the contest.
Let's go home early so that we can be well-rested for tomorrow.
Let's go home together, Mr. Choi.
Sorry, I have to stop by somewhere.
Mr. Jang, could you give her a ride home for me?
For Ms. Choi, anytime.
- Yeon Ji, let's go home together. - Shall we?
Are you two going the same way?
I guess you didn't know. We live together.
You two live together?
I was renting out my brother's room after he enlisted,
and Jin Ah became my roommate.
I guess Jin Ah and I were meant to meet.
I know, right?
Mr. Jo, we're going the same way.
Could you give me a ride home?
What are you talking about?
If I give you a ride, it'll take me 30 minutes longer to get home.
- So you can't? - I'm off.
Come on, don't be so mean. Give me a ride, please.
- Hey, did you check the lights? - Yes.
I checked all the lights with Seung Joo as a model.
I left glow-in-the-dark stickers for the models,
so they just need to follow them during the rehearsal tomorrow.
I must say, I'm worried.
They're not professional models. Will they do a good job...
after a two-hour rehearsal?
Don't you worry.
I'll be sure to train them well.
That gives me relief, Ms. Han.
They're members of a dance club, so they'll do a great job.
Youngsters these days have so many talents.
Okay. Then we've checked everything, right?
We'll have to start the day early tomorrow, so let's call it a day.
- Okay. - Okay, let's go home.
Wait, Ms. Han. Would you like to have dinner with me?
It'll be my treat.
Dinner?
I'm too full to eat dinner.
Let's eat together some other time.
Don't change your mind.
Okay. Then let's eat together some other time.
What? Did you two eat without us?
Gosh. That's not cool.
That's not it.
I drank up the whole bottle of soda because of a frustrating person,
so I'm really full right now.
A frustrating person? Who is that?
There's this person who frustrates me so much...
and is simply impossible.
Are you talking about me by any chance?
I didn't say it was you. Why are you overreacting?
They're squabbling again. I'm so sick of it.
Let's go.
- Let's go. - Try to be good to her.
- See you tomorrow. - Let's go.
She's the managing director of a large company.
She won't go back on her word, right?
If she makes me close this cafe,
I will tell my mom and dad on her.
Dae Sik.
Oh, my. Mom and Dad.
I was just thinking of you two. This is amazing.
- Were you? - What brings you here?
- Let's sit down. - Okay. Please have a seat.
We stopped by on our way back from your cousin Seong Sik's wedding.
It was his second wedding.
Other people get married twice so easily.
Then why is it so hard for Dae Sik to get married just once?
Exactly.
He's handsome and rich.
He has such a good heart.
I don't understand why Jin Ah...
doesn't like him.
She didn't say she didn't like me.
She just didn't want to marry me.
That's the same thing, you brat.
Don't even talk about Jin Ah.
Whenever I hear her name, my heart beats so hard.
Right. Talking about her only makes us upset.
- Well, let's go now. - Wait. Are we leaving already?
We haven't seen Dae Sik for a long time.
Mom is right. Please stay for the night.
Mom, I am craving...
your food.
Then shall I cook for you?
Gosh. What's wrong with you?
Why would we sleep in his tiny studio instead of our house?
I feel most comfortable at home.
Our dear son, Dae Sik, is craving my food.
You said you missed him every single day.
Of course I always miss him...
since he's my loving son.
Please go to my house without me.
I'll close the cafe early and go home.
Hire a part-timer, you brat.
So you can run your errands...
and have some time to eat.
A part-timer?
Oh, that is a good idea.
I'm going to put on a hiring poster first thing tomorrow.
Oh, right. Invite the girl too.
Who? Yeon Ji?
Right. We can eat with her since we're here.
You said she's your friend.
Okay. I'll go home with her.
Okay.
You went through hoops to join this company.
Wouldn't it be sad if you get fired and be cast out of the industry?
I'll be waiting at Green Bar.
I won't leave until you come.
So do whatever you want.
Are you two visiting someone at a hospital?
Jin Ah, where are you going this late?
Jin Ah.
I'm sorry.
She ignored me again.
That mean wench. I just can't seem to like her.
Yes, Dae Sik.
Right now?
Okay.
- Eat up. - Okay.
I invited you because I wanted to make dinner for you.
Thank you, Mother. I'll enjoy this.
Goodness, she called me "Mother".
Yeon Ji, you're so friendly, and I like that so much.
By the way, aren't you and Dad eating with us?
Your dad and I already ate.
Ouch. It hurts. What's this? Gosh.
Dae Sik, why is a women's earring here?
- An earring? Let me see. - It hurts.
Oh, that's mine.
No wonder. I thought I lost it.
Why was your earring under Dae Sik's pillow?
It's not what you're thinking.
We just slept together.
Nothing happened. It's true.
I believe you.
Has the relationship already gone that far?
- It's not like that. - Honey, stop it.
Why would you say that and make Yeon Ji feel embarrassed?
Don't worry.
I'm an open-minded person.
I heard it's normal for couples these days...
to have a baby before getting married.
- No. We... - That's not the case.
Yeon Ji, don't worry. We understand you two.
Eat up, guys.
Is there anything else you need?
- Tell us if you need anything. - We don't need anything.
Well...
- Yeon Ji, shall we leave together? - Sure.
Something is going on.
I'm sure of it.
Why are you avoiding me?
Is it that fun to make me upset?
Why did you drink so much? The contest is tomorrow.
A level-headed man like you shouldn't behave like this.
I just wanted to eat with you...
and give this to you.
I felt so guilty...
for marrying someone else.
Even though I can't give you a ring,
I wanted to give you a necklace at least.
But...
why are you avoiding me?
I think...
I shouldn't see you anymore.
What do you mean...
by that?
I don't want this kind of relationship...
to continue.
Is that why you avoided me all day long?
Why?
Why can't we see each other?
You like me too.
You love me.
Yes.
I like you too.
I know I shouldn't, but I like you.
I'm deeply in love with you.
Then what's the problem?
Do you think I'm a joke?
Are you going to marry someone else...
and just have fun with me?
Do you want the woman you love to live in hiding her entire life?
Do you think that's love?
Is that how all rich men like you live their lives?
Do you want the woman you love to live in shame...
for the rest of her life?
I don't want that.
I have the right to be happy too.
I deserve to raise a family with someone, have a baby,
and live a happy life.
Who are you to stop me from doing that?
Why is it so complicated?
Can't you just be true to your feelings?
For the very first time in my life,
I'm trying to follow my heart.
Why can't I do that?
Stop...
wrecking my life.
You should drink this.
I put some plum extract in iced water.
The contest is tomorrow. Why did you drink so much?
I just wanted to drink.
For no reason?
Why are you so unlike yourself these days?
What's going on?
I just wonder what I'm doing...
with my life now.
What are you talking about?
Stop thinking such useless thoughts. Just get some sleep.
Mom, what was it like for you?
What do you mean?
As a mistress, you had to live in hiding all your life.
Did you hate it to death?
Solely relying on your love,
and putting up with living in hiding and all the finger-pointing.
Was it that miserable for you?
You selfish brat.
You know what I've been through.
Must you upset me like this?
Because I know what your life has been like,
I can't do anything.
Do you even know how I feel?
Go to bed.
Love?
In hindsight, you'll realize it was nothing.
Even if it's extremely painful now,
you'll become emotionally numb with time.
Do you understand, Si Woo?
Wonderful.
My gosh, we have the best models.
The models can take a break in the green room.
Good work.
Please move all the equipment and do final checks.
- Sure. - Got it.
Shall we go for a cup of coffee?
- Shall we? - Let's go.
Is Ms. Choi nervous?
Why does she seem so tense today?
- Well, Mr. Han. - Yes, sir.
About Ko Seon Gyu...
We probably can't hire him back, right?
My gosh, sir. What are you talking about?
All the employees still talk badly about him during lunch breaks.
The company almost went belly up because of him.
All the employees will be against it.
Yes, you're right. It'd be crazy...
to hire him back.
My wife is very worried about him and keeps saying...
we should help him get back on his feet,
so I just wanted to ask.
This may sound rude,
but why do you always bend over backwards for your wife?
What if you get him a job and he causes another trouble?
- What will you do then? - Right, I heard you.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, boy. Where did the time go?
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, Hyunkang's first contest is today.
My daughter's designs will be showcased, so I have to be there.
All right, just try to walk like a model.
Go.
Wait, stop.
They can't just walk casually like that.
We need to make each design unique.
What? Unique?
- You're in a dance club, right? - Yes.
What are you going to do?
You in the gym uniform, can you do tumbling?
Yes, I can do 1 or 2 in a row.
Then that's how you'll enter the stage.
And when you're in front of the judges,
take your phone out of the pocket and shake it like this, okay?
Got it, I'll try.
Then what about the casual outfit?
What can we do?
The casual outfit...
- We have water, right? - Water?
We'll spill some water on the clothes...
and shake it off like this.
The nano-processed waterproof fabric.
We'll show both to the judges in one go.
Bingo.
See? It's so nice that you two aren't fighting.
You two can come up with great ideas together.
Then what about the school uniform?
Right, the school uniform.
How about they enter while doing girl group dance moves?
What do you think?
Wait, Mr. Ahn. I don't think this girl is feeling well.
- What's wrong? - My gosh.
What's the matter? Are you all right?
My stomach is hurting so much.
Hey, it seems to be her appendix.
- Call an ambulance now. - What? Oh, okay.
- What do we do? - She's breaking out in cold sweats.
What should we do?
We can't do this without our center member.
We need her. What should we do?
We can't find someone to replace her in time, right?
No. Even if we find someone, she'll arrive after the contest ends.
Nam Jin.
Mom.
- What brings you here? - I heard today is a big day.
So I came with some food to cheer for you.
By the way, what's the matter?
One of our models collapsed...
and was taken to the hospital. I think she has appendicitis.
What?
Even if we hire someone now, she won't make it here in time.
What should we do?
Shall I... No. I can't.
It's a girls' school uniform.
Goodness, I can't believe you. Is your brain full of noodles?
Why would you think of such a terrible idea?
- Seung Joo. - Yes?
- How tall are you? - Me?
I'm 170cm tall.
What? Why is everyone looking at me?
No. I can't do that. Don't make me do it.
Yes, you can do it.
That's ridiculous.
Besides, the ones in school uniforms will do a girl group's dance.
I am a bad dancer.
Listen. I am 28 years old.
How can I wear a school uniform? No. Forget about it.
I think you'll look great.
You look very young. People would think you're a teenager.
Right. Seung Joo, you're perfect for this job.
Then what about the dance? How can I do the dance?
We still have an hour left. Practice while watching the video.
I'll help you with that.
This is driving me nuts.
All right, everyone. We're running out of time.
Seung Joo, learn the choreography while the models are preparing.
Let's make it work.
- 1, 2, 3. - We can do it!
My, Nam Jin is so amazing.
I know.
Mr. Lee also looks like a different person at work.
Gosh. His brain is full of noodles.
- What are you talking about? - That's not true.
Why are you so nervous?
We already know who's going to win.
Relax.
It's normal to be nervous.
Who would've thought I'd compete on a fashion contest like this?
My heart is beating so fast.
You shouldn't have challenged me.
However, Mr. Choi,
you know what?
The strongest medal contender...
fails to do himself justice...
and loses to an unknown rookie in many cases.
Do you know why?
What are you trying to say?
It's because of the pressure.
The pressure to live up to his reputation...
makes it difficult for him to bring his best.
You seem quite confident.
Then again, you can't just run away...
in front of your team members.
I once told you...
a man who has nothing to lose has nothing to fear.
Let's compete fair and square.
The first contest with the theme of youth.
First up is Team One...
led by Director Choi Si Woo.
I'm Jang Hee Cheol, the head designer of Team One.
We focused on young people...
with a sense of responsibility.
Women in their 20s who just started their careers...
choose their own fashion style...
and buy clothes wisely according to their incomes.
It's not an exaggeration to say that they lead the trends.
Our theme for today's fashion show...
is "A Week of a Woman in Her 20s".
The clothes you're looking at is a formal work outfit.
The modern and sophisticated design...
expresses professionalism of a career woman.
We used a fabric with 9 percent of spandex to enhance elasticity.
And the tapered leg trousers that flow along the body line...
adds more femininity.
It's designed by Jang Hee Cheol.
Next up is fitness wear.
We designed clothes to wear for yoga and Pilates...
that are popular among young women these days.
The lines, which add another dimension, and color blocks...
make the clothes look trendy.
And we used Schoeller, a functional fabric, to enhance the mobility.
It's designed by Jung Jin Ah.
Now you can exercise while looking stylish.
Last but not least, clothes for a date.
We used a high end imported lace fabric...
to accentuate a woman's loveliness.
We also made it partly see-through...
to add subtle elegance.
"You are the most beautiful right this moment."
Doesn't this dress remind you of a comment like this?
(Evaluation Sheet)
It's designed by Jung Jin Ah.
Next up is Team Two...
led by Team Manager Ahn Nam Jin.
I'm Lee Jeong Joo, the designer of Team Two.
Head Designer Han Seung Joo...
was supposed to explain our designs,
but I am here on her behalf. I apologize for the confusion.
Could Seung Joo have run away because she was afraid to lose?
I don't know. She wouldn't do that considering her personality.
This is unexpected.
The theme of our team...
is "Fearless Youth of Teenagers".
Therefore, our models are also high school students,
not professional models.
Teenagers wear their school uniforms the whole week.
However, school uniforms...
are usually very uncomfortable.
Hence, Team Two...
focused on comfortable clothes that make students feel liberated...
with the mindset to give wings to a school uniform.
(It's My Life)
- I can't do this. I'm leaving. - Wait, Ms. Han. You can't leave.
Female warrior, my foot. I told you I can't do this.
Gosh, I refuse to go onstage.
Stop spewing nonsense and leave.
Nothing good will come out of provoking me.
Are you looking for a part-timer?
Now, I will announce the results from the first round...
of the contest for deciding who will inherit Hyunkang.
