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.
Our first design, which you're seeing now, is a gym uniform.
We used nano-processed fabrics,
and the zip-up design increases functionality.
Teenagers are very active.
The cell phone pocket keeps your phone intact even while...
doing tumbling moves.
It was designed by Designer Lee Jeong Joo.
Next is a casual outfit.
Like the gym uniform you just saw,
it's made with nano-processed fabrics.
Even when you spill beverages or coffee, you can shake it off...
or wipe it off easily with a tissue.
It also means that washing it often won't wear it out.
It was designed by Designer Han Seung Joo.
All right, it's now your turn.
- I can't do this. I'm leaving. - Wait.
Ms. Han. You can't leave.
You're a female warrior. Don't be like this.
Female warrior, my foot. I told you I can't do this.
No, I won't go on stage.
You can even fall or roll on the floor in these culottes,
which are commonly called "skorts".
You can do it.
Recently, there was a national petition campaign...
about how uncomfortable school uniforms are.
The skirt part maintains the silhouette,
while the pants part allows students to move around freely.
The relaxed fit of the hoodie, which comes in various colours,
will give true freedom to teenagers, who have been...
feeling confined to conventional school uniforms.
It was designed by Designer Han Seung Joo.
It's not like I wanted to come all the way here.
I only came because she's not answering my calls.
There's an important event going on at the moment.
That's probably why her phone is off.
Please make an appointment to see her another time.
She's been avoiding my calls for days.
Wait, is it because she doesn't recognize my number?
Please leave a note for her. I'll make sure Ms. Choi gets it.
Tell her Ko Seon Gyu was here, and she'll know.
Let her know that I'll wait for her at the café downstairs.
If she doesn't show up, I'll keep coming every single day.
Make sure you tell her that as well.
What's Man Seok doing here?
I almost got caught.
Seung Joo, you were so impressive today.
You lived up to your nickname, Joan of Arc.
I never knew such a funny dance could look that lovely.
What? Why is it a funny dance?
You have no idea, don't you?
We emulated the girl group's dance moves to a tee.
Come on, it wasn't the same.
But I'd vote for you because I find your dance a lot more charming.
- Me too. - By the way,
you fell as you were entering the stage.
Was that planned too?
Gosh, not at all.
She was refusing to go on stage,
and I kept forcing her to go. That's how it happened.
She refused to come out?
Who? Seung Joo?
Stop it. Gosh. I was really nervous.
My mind went blank.
Fortunately, Ms. Lee made a witty comment at that moment,
so I barely managed to move on.
Oh, my. Is that the case?
I thought you did it intentionally.
All right. Everyone, good job.
You all trusted me, an inexperienced team manager,
and created such a great fashion show.
Thank you so much, everyone.
Well... Mr. Heo, what do you think...
is the probability of us winning the contest?
I'm not sure. Maybe 50 percent?
In my opinion, it was neck and neck, and we have a chance to win.
When will the result come out, Mr. Heo?
It will come out right after the lunch break.
- Please finish your lunch. - Yes, sir.
I'm so nervous. I don't know if I can even swallow food.
Anyway, thank you for the food.
- You're welcome. Enjoy it. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - It looks so delicious.
Eat a lot, Seung Joo. You looked so pretty back there.
When did I ever look not pretty?
Seung Joo.
- Dad. - Hello.
You brat. When did you learn to dance?
I didn't. I just copied the dance from a video clip.
Goodness. When I heard you changed your major,
I didn't expect much, but you turned out to be quite talented.
- Was it okay? - Absolutely. You were amazing.
Here you go.
- What's this? - Use it at work dinner.
I'm touched, Dad.
Regardless of the result, you're the winner to me.
You know that, right?
Yes. Thank you, Dad.
Mr. Jang, what do you think?
The other team did pretty well.
We shouldn't underestimate them.
Is that right?
Our team's designs are much better than theirs.
However... How should I put it?
Their designs are more humane.
I could see how much they care about and respect people.
They can't beat our team with such low-quality designs.
It seems that they put on a show because they weren't confident.
But there's no way they'll win.
You're right.
Since the fashion industry leads the trends,
they must've thought that dignity and formality wouldn't matter.
But they were wrong.
Non-professional models and such clumsy runway walks.
The judges will give their votes to our dignity.
Of course.
I'm acquainted with 4 out of the 5 judges.
Wouldn't I know their preferences?
Come in.
I bought sushi for you to have a light lunch.
Okay. Sushi sounds good.
- Thank you, Ms. Lee. - Oh, right.
About one hour ago, this man came to see you.
He said he'll wait at the café across the street.
(Ko Seon Gyu)
Okay.
Oh, and if he comes back,
call the security to kick him out.
Yes, ma'am.
Who is he?
You don't need to know.
After a party, you always find a fruit fly like this.
A fruit fly?
Must the higher-ups eat separately from us?
Secretary Lee said she was going to buy sushi for them.
We also like sushi, don't we?
For the other team, Mr. Ahn's mother...
brought lunch and takes care of his team members.
Look at us.
Which team do you think will win?
Of course, we'll win.
More than half of the judges are on Ms. Choi's side.
Of course, we'll win.
I hope so.
But to be honest, I was surprised.
The other team did better than I expected.
Right?
Honestly, I wanted to buy those school uniforms for my kids.
Since you all have worn a school uniform, you must know...
how uncomfortable and restrained you feel in it.
We tore off our school uniforms after the graduation ceremony.
I don't even have any appetite.
Yeon Ji, go buy some coffee, please.
I'll report it later.
Me again?
- I'll buy Americano for everyone. - Okay.
(We're hiring! Part-time employee, Please inquire at the counter.)
Welcome.
What are you doing?
Hi, Yeon Ji. I'll hire a part-timer.
Give me another cup of ice water, please.
He ordered a cup of coffee...
and has been here for hours asking for ice water.
I've seen him somewhere.
What's taking him so long?
- I'll bring him water. Keep going. - Thank you.
And please make four cups of Americano.
I'm burning inside. Why does it take so long...
Aren't you an employee at Managing Director Choi's company?
Yes, I am.
Right. I thought I had seen you somewhere.
You're the one who was with Ms. Choi, right?
Goodness, you're pretty and have good eyesight.
By the way, were you fired? Why are you working here?
I'm not working here.
I came here for coffee. I'm just helping my friend.
Are you waiting for Ms. Choi?
Yes. However, I don't why, but she's getting so late.
She must be busy because of the contest.
Please tell Ms. Choi...
that Ko Seon Gyu is waiting for her.
And I'll wait here until she comes.
Pardon? Oh, okay.
Americano
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Jin Ah, here you go.
You were very nervous, right?
Jin Ah, you did a good job today.
Thank you, Ms. Choi.
Ms. Choi, I meant to go to your office.
Why?
Well, Mr. Ko Seon Gyu, who was with you...
the other day,
asked me to tell you he'll wait at the café across the street.
He said he'll wait until you come.
I see. Okay.
Why is he waiting for you?
Well, I have no idea.
Could he be here to ask for a job again?
Team 1 and Team 2,
thank you for your hard work.
Each team expressed their own style.
It was very interesting.
While watching the contest,
I could see a bright future for Hyunkang Group.
Personally, it was very satisfying.
If the late Chairman Ahn saw the fashion show,
he would have been happy as well.
Now, I will announce the result of the first contest...
for deciding the successor of Hyunkang Group.
3 out of all the 5 judges...
chose Team One led by Director Choi Si Woo.
Therefore, Team 1 won the 1st contest...
by 3 to 2.
Congratulations.
The judges' scores and review comments...
will be sent to the team managers via e-mail.
Also, the details of the second contest...
will be announced later.
Thank you, everyone.
Let's go.
Congratulations, Mr. Choi.
Thank you.
I believe you're congratulating us with sincerity. Am I right?
Of course.
I'm sorry it didn't turn out the way you wanted.
The result was very different from what I expected.
To be honest, I thought Team One...
would win a one-sided victory.
I heard that it was hard to predict the result...
to the last moment.
Now I see...
why Chairman Ahn planned a contest like this.
Good job.
Why am I feeling this way?
We won, but it feels like we lost.
Mr. Jo.
Watch what you say, will you?
Okay, I'm sorry.
(Ko Seon Gyu)
All right, we should go celebrate.
Pick a place and let me know.
I have to meet someone first.
All right, hurry up.
You kept me waiting for exactly five hours.
What do you want?
As far as I know, our deal's done.
I thought about it and realized that you were too cheap,
so you should've thrown some options in the deal.
"Options"?
You said it yourself.
You told me you'd get me a job.
I think we even have a witness.
Was her name Seo Yeon Ji?
The café owner told me her name.
So? You want a position at Hyunkang?
I won't ask for a position that comes with a private office.
A manager or a senior manager would do.
Just get me a chair if there's an empty desk.
Look, Mr. Ko Seon Gyu.
Stop spewing nonsense and leave.
Nothing good will come out of treating me like this.
Try talking to anyone in the company.
No one will believe you.
Well, shall we just talk about this at the police station?
I legally purchased those shares from you,
and you did all the bad things.
You stole someone's personal information and sold his assets.
What's the punishment for that usually?
If you visit me...
or wander around me once again,
then I'll report you to the police right away.
Consider yourself informed.
Wait, Ms. Choi. Don't get me wrong.
She left in 5 minutes after making me wait for 5 hours.
Nothing good will come out of provoking me.
You'll be on pins and needles if I keep hovering around you.
(We're hiring! Part-time employee, Please inquire at the counter.)
Are you looking for a part-timer?
I'll do it. Give me the job.
You?
I noticed that many Hyunkang employees get their coffee to go.
How about we deliver their orders to them?
I'll take care of the delivery, of course.
Delivery?
I think that's a great idea.
I can start tomorrow, right?
Mr. Jo sent us the location in our group chat.
Let's head over there now.
- Okay. - Okay.
- I'll let Ms. Choi know. - Sure.
Ms. Jung, please spare me a moment.
Pardon? Sure.
I figured I wouldn't have the chance to talk to you privately after this.
What is it about?
Here.
It's your first design, the date outfit.
It received the highest score from the judges.
To designers, their designs are like their children.
Whenever any hardships arise,
think about the passion you had when you designed this piece.
It will...
give you the courage that can get you through anything.
Thank you, Mr. Choi.
From now on,
I won't be seeing you...
personally.
But as your senior in the industry...
and as the manager of Team One,
I will continue to care about you...
and root for you.
You were right.
I cannot force you...
to make sacrifices...
just because I like you.
I did confuse you...
even though it was only for a short while.
I'm sorry.
I have...
decided to go back to where I belong.
I'll get going first.
Tidy up and meet us at the restaurant.
- Oh, hello. - Hello.
Why do all of you seem so dispirited?
From the judges' reaction, we thought we could win.
We're just disappointed.
Team One consists of top-notch experts in the fashion industry.
Did you think you'd be able to beat them that easily?
No, we didn't. But it is still disappointing.
Our designs were very good.
- That's all that matters, right? - Pardon me?
The results from the contest take up 50 percent,
and the sales numbers will take up the rest.
You lost the contest, but you can beat them with your numbers.
That's right. Our sales numbers.
We didn't think about that.
Their items are on the expensive side.
Ours are affordable, so if schools buy them in bulk,
we can certainly turn the tables.
Yes, exactly.
- My gosh. - I knew it. Mr. Heo,
you never let me down.
Well, Nam Jin. Can you...
Let go of me, will you?
Mr. Ahn, shouldn't we have a team dinner?
I'm craving soju because I was nervous all day.
We should, of course.
Wait, take this.
What is this?
My dad gave it to me to help you pay for our team dinner.
Let's go for drinks...
and focus on maximizing our sales starting tomorrow.
Ms. Han, your father rocks.
I should start Ms. Han's fan club.
I'll be the president of her fan club.
Who says you can do that?
I'm also a fan of hers.
Gosh, I'm too popular.
Hey, what should we have for dinner, then?
How about pork belly?
I'm fine with anything.
Okay, sounds good. Let's go.
- All right. - Let's go.
You should join us.
What? Si Woo's team won?
Why do people have such bad taste?
All right, just focus on maximizing your sales.
I'll be sure to meet the production deadlines.
Okay, bye.
Seung Joo's team lost?
More than half of the judges...
are on Si Woo's side, so I was expecting it,
but I'm disappointed nonetheless.
Seung Joo played such an important role.
She was amazing today.
Will you earn a lot of money if Seung Joo's team wins?
That's right, Yeon Sil.
I'll earn money and regain my pride.
It'll kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Then I'm totally rooting for you and Seung Joo.
I'm back.
Where have you been? You should've made dinner for Yeon Sil.
He went out to look for jobs.
Jobs, my foot. Just stay home and take care of Yeon Sil.
I'll be working part-time at a café starting tomorrow.
What? You'll work part-time at a café?
So you didn't get a proper job?
I will find something proper soon.
This part-time job is actually a great one.
It'll surely put someone on pins and needles.
What are you plotting this time?
Gosh, what are you talking about?
I just want to work hard part-time until I land a proper job.
You're hurting my feelings here.
First off, I'd like to offer a shot to Mr. Choi,
who's now one step closer to inheriting Hyunkang.
Thank you. You've done a great job too, Mr. Jo.
Thank you.
I heard Ms. Jung's date outfit received the highest score.
Yes.
My gosh. I must stay alert.
I might lose my position as the head designer.
Congratulations, Jin Ah.
We gathered to celebrate winning the first contest,
but also, I would like us to steel ourselves to show them...
they're no match for us.
You're right. We must stay alert.
Frankly, I was very surprised.
I thought the other team was a joke,
but it turned out that I underestimated them.
If you underestimate your opponent, you let your guard down.
We were too relaxed.
We won,
but we barely beat the ragtag team.
This cannot happen again.
Understood. I won't forget your criticism.
For the next contest,
I will work harder and do my best for our team.
Cheers.
- Welcome. - Where are people from Hyunkang?
They're over there.
Oh, you're here. That's my muse Ms. Choi.
Come on in.
Shall we?
We were being scolded by Mr. Choi.
You always lighten up the atmosphere like this.
I'd like to introduce you all to someone.
This is Mr. Choi's fiancée, Ms. Na So Jeong.
Hello. I'm Na So Jeong.
Welcome, So Jeong.
Have a seat.
You are beautiful and elegant.
You're also sophisticated.
Since you're sitting next to Mr. Choi,
he and you look so great together.
Do we?
She's the oldest daughter of the owner of Juseong Group.
She's a famous violinist.
No wonder.
I thought you were an artist.
Artists have an unusual vibe.
He's right. The two of you look great together.
They will get engaged this weekend.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Since Mr. Choi's only family...
are me and his half-brother Mr. Ahn Nam Jin,
I hope you all come...
and celebrate it with us.
You are like family to Mr. Choi.
I will leave now.
You're leaving already? The party just began.
She must be drunk because she drank in empty stomach.
Actually, I have bad drinking habits.
I quarrel and complain when I get drunk.
I'm afraid I might ruin the mood.
Okay. Go home.
You don't have to stay as we're not working.
Good. That's my boy.
You see, at first,
I was afraid we might fail.
But now, I'm motivated and enthusiastic.
I'm determined to work hard.
I feel the same way, Mr. Lee.
Mr. Ahn said earlier...
that having nothing to lose means there's nothing to fear.
Actually,
I am a very timid person.
But when I'm with my team members,
I feel confident.
Everyone, good job today.
Let's clink.
- Okay. - Wait.
Joan of Arc, why don't you give a toast?
Me again?
Sure. Why not? All right.
Say, "PBC".
- What? - "PBC"?
Be patient.
Be bold.
And be cheerful.
- PBC. - PBC.
It's so good.
(Incoming call)
- Hello? This is Ahn Nam Jin. - Nam Jin.
Jin Ah.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
Right now?
Where are you?
Okay. I'll meet you there.
Don't go.
(It's My Life)
Are you saying you broke up with Si Woo?
What if I had asked you to run away with me?
Would you have gone with me?
Who is he?
- He's a part-timer. - A part-timer?
It's cold outside. Why don't you wait somewhere else?
He will come soon.
He said he would come.
- Seung Joo didn't come here. - What?
