(It's My Life)
Oh, he's here.
(Episode 60)
As you've heard, the 2 teams tied in the 2nd round...
because both of you got Han Mi Ra in your shows.
However, all of the five judges...
voted unanimously...
for Design Team Two led by Mr. Ahn Nam Jin.
That's the final result.
All right. Thank you for all of your hard work, everyone.
Mr. Lee, the eldest member of our team who always...
supports and encourages us.
Mr. Koo and Ms. Kim, who set a sales record in the first round.
Also, Ms. Lee, who managed to track down Ms. Han Mi Ra.
And last but not least, our dear Ms. Han Seung Joo,
who planned and successfully executed today's event.
Thank you all.
I'm sorry I had to keep it a secret from all of you.
I only kept it from you guys because I was worried...
that Ms. Choi might scheme something if word got out.
I hope you all understand.
That surprise event was very thrilling.
It was awesome.
I had been feeling so bad, thinking it was my fault...
that we couldn't get her in our show.
Why is that your fault?
I'm usually unlucky.
Back in school, my team always lost in any tug-of-war match.
The same goes with soccer games. I turn on the TV, and the team...
that I support loses a point.
My goodness, that is nonsense.
We wouldn't have accomplished this without you, Mr. Koo.
Starting today, you can stop thinking you're unlucky.
Yes, sir! I will.
All right. Team One beat us in the first round,
but we're beating them by a wide margin in terms of sales.
And we tied in the second round,
so if we can beat them in sales once again,
we'll be highly likely to win.
- Congratulations. - Uncle Beluga!
My gosh, Soo Ji.
- You're here. - Mi Ra.
Thanks so much.
I'm about to tear up because I'm so grateful.
Don't mention it. I only followed Mr. Heo's advice.
Right, Mr. Heo?
When did I give you advice? I don't recall that.
By the way, did the two of you...
know each other personally?
Can I tell them?
Gosh, that's not necessary.
What is this? You're making us more curious. Tell us, please.
Mr. Heo was my late mother's first love.
When my mother was all alone at the hospital,
he visited her often.
Mr. Heo, you're so romantic.
I was hiding from the world with my daughter.
I know very well that you did it because you were hoping...
that I'd come back.
Thank you very much.
I simply guided you.
I wasn't the one who actually brought you back into the world.
It was all Mr. Ahn.
I didn't even do anything.
I owe it all to my hardworking team members.
Do you know what your biggest strength is?
Pardon me? I'm not sure.
You always help your team members maximize their potential.
That is a very special ability.
I totally agree.
This is so great.
You can't be sitting around. We need to come up with a plan now.
What plan?
Ms. Han already did interviews in the dress designed by that team.
When the articles are published tomorrow,
we'll see that dress all over the place.
I've taken some photos for marketing purposes.
We can use them for articles as well.
This is all your fault.
What did you just say?
Do you realize what the unanimous vote means?
It means that people empathize more with Han Mi Ra as a mother.
How could you threaten her using her child?
It was something I had to do in order to get her in the show.
No, you were wrong.
Like she said,
even an animal mustn't be bothered when it's trying to protect its cub.
All of this happened because of Nam Jin.
He must've done something.
I bet he cut a deal with Mi Ra.
Whether he made a deal or appealed to her emotion, it's not important.
What is important is the fact that I,
Choi Si Woo, lost.
It's a tie.
You can beat them in sales. We won in the first round as well.
How many people would buy that flashy sequin dress?
We could've hoped to sell more if we had used Jin Ah's design.
I want you to keep your hands off everything that my team does.
Keep my hands off?
How could you do this to me?
I'll handle everything from now on.
So stay out of this.
What just happened?
- What if we end up losing? - Why would we lose?
There's still the third round.
Why do you think Han Mi Ra did that?
Because she didn't like my design?
No, that can't be the reason.
There must've been something else.
I think so too. Even when she was here for the fitting,
she was cold to us,
as if she was forced to do something she didn't want to do.
All right. We took some photos for PR and marketing purposes,
so let's get some articles out and come up with a sales strategy.
Who would buy that sparkling dress?
Unless they're going to a club.
We'll probably lose in sales too.
What do we do now?
Oh, gosh. I'm so embarrassed.
Crying won't solve anything.
We'll change our strategy from tomorrow.
What do you mean we'll change our strategy?
Mr. Jo will be in charge of sales.
The rest of the team will focus solely on the third round...
as soon as the details are announced.
We'll make sure to win the third round.
No matter what.
- I memorized this one. - Okay. That's enough.
I need to see it one more time.
Who's our point of contact for Hwayoung Corporation?
Assistant Manager Park Jeong Sil.
Correct. Good job.
Then what products...
does Hwayoung Corporation make?
Fabrics?
Gosh.
How many times did I tell you they make subsidiary materials?
Oh, right. I remember now. Subsidiary materials.
What kind of subsidiary materials do they mainly deal with?
I don't know.
Yeon Sil, you're so dumb.
They make buttons and zippers.
My goodness. I can't believe you just called me dumb.
How could you say such a mean thing to me?
Until you memorize this, answer the phone appropriately,
and organize meetings without any problems,
you'll be paid as a probationary employee. Bear that in mind.
A probationary employee?
You didn't say that. Isn't this a breach of contract?
Yes, Seung Joo.
Gosh. Why didn't you call me earlier?
I was dying to know how it went.
What? It was a tie?
And you're that happy?
What? All the five judges voted for your team?
Oh, my. I'm so glad to hear that. You did a great job.
That's my girl.
Yes. Come to my office tomorrow.
Yes. Okay. Bye.
Man Seok, do you know that you've changed so much?
You act like a mother-in-law to me,
but you're so sweet to me.
My daughter Seung Joo...
doesn't have a brother who always causes trouble...
or buy a fur coat that's worth 12,000 dollars.
Also, she's such a great cook.
This is all your fault, Mom.
I want you to keep your hands off everything that my team does.
I'll handle everything from now on.
So stay out of this.
I told Ms. Yoo to leave for the day.
Is it time already?
You haven't had dinner yet, right?
Let's go out for dinner.
I have no appetite.
Oh, right. What did Si Woo say?
Did you plan the sales strategy?
To be honest, it's true that Yeon Ji's design is so luxurious...
that there's a limit to the variety of customers.
But we'll do everything we can.
What's so great about Han Mi Ra being a mom?
What the public wants to see is Han Mi Ra in her glory days.
Han Mi Ra said in the interview earlier today...
that if she has a chance,
she wants to play a tough mom in her next works.
She said her child's father died,
and she will work hard as a single mom from now on.
Her child's father died?
So she said the father, who is alive and well, is dead?
What if I reveal her secret?
What good would that do for Mr. Choi?
Did you really do that?
Did you persuade Han Mi Ra to be in our show...
threatening to reveal her child and the father?
That's right. I did it.
I had to get her in our show even if I had to do it.
Ms. Choi.
I've been your soulmate for the past 30 years,
but when you act like this, I...
I don't want to be your friend.
You're just so sweet.
You always say nice things and are considerate of others.
You also look so pretty when you sleep.
Who? Are you talking about me?
Are you up?
How long have you been awake?
Since you said, "You're so sweet."
Gosh. What? You heard everything.
Of course, I did. The man I love...
was looking at me so closely like this.
Who wouldn't have woken up?
I love you.
I've never said this to anyone my entire life.
You're lying.
Could you be a playboy?
I'm slow-witted, blunt,
and bad at expressing my feelings,
but I spend half my days thinking of you.
Then what about the other half?
I think about my work and the people around me.
In fact, since I'm with you when I'm at work too,
I think of you all day long.
I'll believe you.
Will you visit my grandpa's grave with me this weekend?
The late Chairman Ahn's grave?
If I fail to become the successor of Hyunkang,
what should we do?
What would you do if you don't become the successor?
I don't know.
I've never thought about it.
Since I was little, I heard that I must be the successor of Hyunkang.
And naturally, I thought I will become the successor.
You're very upset, right?
Everyone smiles when they see Nam Jin.
Whether they're adults or children, they become fond of him quickly.
And I'm afraid of Nam Jin because of that.
I learned that if I show my feelings,
my enemy can see through me.
However, it seems that showing my feelings to others like him...
is a way to win others' trust.
I'm confused.
My goodness. Are you saying...
that all of the judges said Nam Jin won?
Exactly. I thought we had no chance to win,
but Ms. Han Mi Ra showed up on the stage,
and that turned the tables.
Nam Jin has the power to persuade and influence other people.
Since Ms. Han did an interview wearing our team's clothes,
I think we'll get high sales too.
What's wrong, Mr. Lee?
What do you mean?
Do you not want to speak to me?
You said you didn't want to speak to me.
When did I say that?
You told me not to go see you for personal matters.
I told you not to visit my office for personal matters.
I didn't say I didn't want to speak to you.
You see, frankly, I'm afraid of you.
What do you mean you're afraid of me?
If you think of what you did to Jin Ah and Ms. Han Mi Ra...
I actually thought...
that you were an angel.
Mr. Lee.
Where's Si Woo?
He didn't come home last night.
He didn't come home?
Mr. Lee, who used to call you an angel and worship you,
has turned against you,
and even your son is not coming home.
And yet, everything is going so well for my son Nam Jin,
whom you're dying to take down.
You must be incredibly upset.
You see, this is why you have to be nice to people.
Well, you don't have to eat if you don't feel like it.
It'll be her loss. Aren't I right?
My gosh, you sure know how to get her all riled up.
It's ready now.
Yeon Ji, have some of this boiled scorched rice before you go.
What happened to your eyes?
Did you cry?
Are my eyes really puffy now?
I'll put spoons in the freezer for you.
Go ahead and eat your breakfast.
Why did you cry?
Did the contest not go well yesterday?
No, it was an epic fail.
It was my first design.
Han Mi Ra is so mean.
Gosh, you're crying again.
Keep the spoons over your eyes.
I'm sure it won't even sell well.
What do I do if I get fired?
Why would you get fired?
You didn't do anything wrong.
So please cheer up, okay?
That's right. I didn't do anything wrong.
But why can't I stop crying?
Shall I try to make you laugh?
Sure, you can try.
Yeon Ji, you look like Batman right now.
Batman!
What? Did you say "Batman"?
Do I look weird now?
(Hyunkang Group)
Choi Geum Soon?
You may fool everyone else, but you can't fool me.
Do you think I wouldn't recognize you, Geum Soon?
All right. Then shall I get started now?
"Every man's dream girlfriend, Han Mi Ra, is back as a mother."
"The full story about how she's been..."
"raising an autistic child for seven years since losing her husband..."
"is exclusively reported."
With this story and their photos with the matching outfits,
Team Two will definitely beat us in sales as well.
Even all the comments are positive.
Stop wasting your time reading them and come up with a sales plan.
Did you get the photos from yesterday?
Yes, I'm sorting them now.
Jin Ah, write the first draft of our press release and send it to me.
I'll work on it.
Sure, no problem.
Si Woo, spare me a moment.
I'm quite busy now.
We just got an order from a moms' group.
I received another group order.
I got an order from a kindergarten.
A kindergarten? Did they only order clothes for the kids?
No, they also ordered clothes for the moms for Mother's Day.
But they're asking if the dolphin can be changed to something else.
Of course. That can be easily done.
We should take a look at some options.
- I'll work on that. - Okay.
Nice! We're getting swamped with orders right off the bat.
Since I'm in such a great mood, I'll buy coffee for everyone.
- Nice. - Okay!
What would you like to order?
I'll get six Americanos...
Mr. Ko Seon Gyu.
Come on, Seung Joo. Don't call your uncle like that.
Uncle, my foot.
Everyone, this man here...
stole money from the cafe owner in the past. He's a thief.
When did I do such a thing?
I returned it to him right away. How is that stealing?
Come on, why must you embarrass me like this?
He's lying.
He totally stole it. You dropped it on the floor...
only because cops showed up.
Do you have evidence to prove that?
Dae Sik, you knew about it too?
Yes, Nam Jin told me.
Then you should fire him right away. Why are you keeping him?
I installed a security camera over there.
If he does it again, I'll report him...
to the police with firm evidence.
Why wait? Fire him right now.
Before he heard about the security camera,
he stole 30 dollars, 20 dollars, 50 dollars, and 30 dollars.
He's stolen 130 dollars in total.
He does need to work more hours to make up...
for the amount he's stolen from me.
Well, then...
did you hire me back because of that money?
Yes.
If he doesn't do his job...
or slacks off, call me right away.
I'll teach him a serious lesson.
Hey, I've come to my senses.
So talk to your dad...
and persuade him to let me move back in. Please, Seung Joo.
Don't even say my name. It annoys me so much.
Dae Sik, hurry up and give me the coffee.
- Okay. - Six Americanos.
Sir.
I wasn't sure in the morning, but do you work here now?
Oh, well... It happened unexpectedly.
They asked me to put up with the grunt work for a short while...
and promised to promote me to manager soon,
so I accepted the job offer.
I mean, I'm healthy and robust. Why sit around and do nothing?
You made a great decision.
- I'll see you around. - Wait, actually,
where is the managing director's office?
The managing director's office? Why do you ask?
Oh, I know the managing director.
I'd like to stop by and say hello to her.
I see.
How can I help you?
I need to speak with Ms. Choi about something.
She's in her office, right?
- No, she's not here at the moment. - What?
Then I'll sit here and wait until she comes back.
Oh, boy.
- Come back to... - Gosh, what a nuisance.
I should just turn this off.
Why does everyone keep asking for me?
Does Hyunkang not function without me?
Where did you sleep last night?
At a hotel.
Why on earth did you sleep at a hotel?
Because I didn't want to see you at home.
Si Woo, why are you being like this?
What should I do if even you're being like this?
I need time.
I'm trying to understand you, so give me some time.
I did it for you.
Why don't you understand that I did it for your sake?
I do know that.
I know that you've dedicated your life to me and my success.
But you see, whenever I see you doing such evil things...
without any hesitation,
I want to quit everything.
I can't bear the thought of my own mother...
doing such things...
without even batting an eye.
She got her social security card and opened her own family register.
There's nothing on record though.
Her address in the system is Sangdo-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul.
- What about her parents? - It looks like she was an orphan.
Records show that she grew up in an orphanage in Hongcheon.
- An orphanage in Hongcheon? - Yes.
I know it won't be a short trip, but please visit the orphanage.
Also, find out if there was anyone named Choi Geum Soon.
And see if Choi Geum Soon has ever applied for a name change.
Look into that as well.
Yes, sir.
She grew up in an orphanage?
That's odd.
As far as I remember, she had a mother.
It's been a long time.
I believe we have something to talk about.
Come on in.
Choi Geum Soon, you became so successful.
I guess you married a rich man.
What do you want to talk about?
I just want us to greet each other as old neighbors.
Why are you being so cold?
You know that I'm not...
in a position to greet you like friends, right?
Hey, don't be like that.
Have you forgotten? 30 years ago,
I stole Nam Jin...
because you asked me to do it.
(It's My Life)
- Is Si Woo on a business trip? - No.
- His closet is half empty. - What did you say?
Did your grandmother on your mother's side live in Hongcheon?
Why do you ask?
If you win the contest and become the successor,
I will approve of your relationship with Seung Joo.
Pardon me?
