(Episode 42)
There's something I'd wanted to ask.
Why do you drink coffee from a beaker?
Does it matter what I use?
Do you have to use a mug?
No but...
I like the color of coffee.
First, you look at the color, then you smell the liquid,
then you taste it.
Do you have nothing to say to me?
I guess your mother loves you a lot.
She wants to know everything.
Where you go, whom you meet.
If I report to her, she'll pay me more.
- So? - I said no.
That was gutsy for a new employee.
How could you refuse the CEO's offer?
You could've asked for a lot, lied about my whereabouts,
and split the money with me. That would be nice.
You tend to say strange things with a straight face.
Do I?
Then how about this?
If you come up with an idea...
for a new product, I'll pay you the incentive.
- Isn't that more honorable? - I'd like that.
I have to test this on all skin types.
Dal Sook's neutral, Mi Rae's dry.
I need someone with oily skin.
Who do I know?
Oily skin. I know someone.
Honey, it's me. Are you busy?
No?
You know where Mi Rae lives.
Come over right now.
Just get over here.
Okay, honey.
Did you just call Heo Se?
Yes. The twins' dad is...
the true specimen of oily skin.
Hey. How can you invite your husband to a messy house?
Everyone knows the state you live in.
The interior's new,
so if you pick up what's lying around, it'll look clean.
What is wrong with you? Goodness.
It's Jin Ok's first real job.
We must help in any way we can.
Thanks.
Don't thank me.
If I were in your situation, wouldn't you have helped me?
My gosh.
Oh dear.
Goodness.
Did you do well?
My goodness. How...
Your English grades went up but everything else dropped.
Your grades should go up with me around.
What is this?
I thought you were studying. Was that all for show?
Did you just play with your phone while you were at your desk?
- No. - You must be lying.
Why did your grades fall?
If your grades drop, do you know who everyone will blame?
They will blame me.
It is your fault.
What? It's my fault?
Why is it my fault?
All I did was look after you.
How is it my fault?
You have a bad habit of blaming others.
You made me memorize so much English,
I couldn't study anything else.
Dong Hyun. Dong Hyun.
Is Dong Hyun going somewhere?
He didn't look so happy. Is something wrong?
Is this his report card?
Dong Hyun.
What are you doing here now?
You should be in class.
I just came over.
Did you? Wait in your room for a bit.
Okay.
I bet he was surprised to see us like this.
Why did he look so upset?
- Oh, right. Honey. - What?
Give Mi Rae a job at your office.
What? Wait.
Why should I do that?
Dong Hyun wants to live with his mom...
but Mi Rae doesn't have an income.
Forget about it.
I can't forget about it.
You seem to think you can somehow persuade Joon Ho,
but he knows you.
As if he'd let you raise Dong Hyun.
What's wrong with me?
Stop it. Dong Hyun might hear.
You told us that...
his stepmom treats him much better than you did.
Don't you remember saying yourself that...
you can't do that good a job?
I remember.
You need to become financially stable first...
if you're to fight them in court or something.
It's not like she can actually work at my office.
Just put her name on the payroll as an employee.
That's not too difficult.
Let's continue please.
- Okay. - Okay.
He's not answering.
I'm positive he went to his mom.
Why did you give him a hard time?
I didn't give him a hard time.
I looked after him so well.
He said it was my fault his grades fell,
so I said it's bad to blame others. That's it.
When you locked him up in his room,
that's when he changed his mind.
I don't like it that...
he goes to her whenever something happens.
It'll only get harder to raise him if these keeps going on.
We can't stop him from seeing his mom.
Go and talk to your ex.
She wants Dong Hyun. What can I say to her?
This won't do. I'll go and bring him home.
Let's go.
The time's up. Let's see the results.
Gosh.
I think my skin looks much better.
What about you?
I think I feel younger.
And my face shrunk.
But... Doesn't it sting a bit?
Yes, it stings a bit.
That sensation is intended. You have nothing to worry.
It'll go away when you wash your face.
I think my skin turned slightly red.
Do you have the burn cream I gave you?
Put that on and it'll calm down.
What does this have to do with a burn?
Skin turns red when exposed to heat.
The cream's calming effect must work on this too.
- Is it Joon Ho? - With that woman.
Something might go down.
Shouldn't we stay with her?
Nothing will go down.
And we must never get involved in another family's business.
Yes. Let's go.
- Hello. - Hello.
Heo Se.
Hi, Joon Ho.
Why were you here?
I was testing something on my skin.
- Drop by my office if you're free. - Sure, I will.
- See you. - Bye.
Is Dong Hyun here?
In his room.
Why are you here?
He came in looking really upset...
and you both followed him, so something must be wrong.
Dong Hyun's grades fell.
Grades sometimes go up and sometimes go down.
There must be a reason.
He blames it on me.
Then it must be your fault.
But why did he say that?
He needs too much time to memorize an English book,
he can't study anything else.
How was his English grade?
It went up a bit.
Then it's fine. What's the problem?
His grades shouldn't drop.
I put so much work into preparing his food and clothes.
You know that too.
You should raise a kid from their level and perspective.
You can't think about everything from yours.
Honey, you know that kids...
What did you say? "Honey"?
Sister. Who are you calling "honey"?
Do you think Joon Ho's still your husband?
Sorry, my mistake.
Dong Hyun, it's all my fault.
I focused too much on English.
I'll let you memorize less. Let's go home.
He wants to stay here.
I can't raise him properly if he comes here whenever he's upset.
Think wisely like a mom should.
He's upset right now and needs comforting.
Consider Dong Hyun's education.
His feelings come before his education.
Oh dear. Dong Hyun.
- Gosh. - Joon Ho.
Dong Hyun, spend the night here.
But it's not good to come here...
whenever something happens.
It'll make your stepmom look bad.
Can't I just live here with Mom?
You can't.
Your mom isn't financially stable.
I got a job!
- Where at? - Dal Sook's estate agent's.
Did that hurt? Are you okay?
How could you just take a taxi?
I looked for you forever.
How could I take your car when you sided with your ex?
Do you know why I sided with her?
Why did you?
She let go of Dong Hyun's arm.
Why do you think she did?
To make me fall down.
Dong Hyun fell too.
Why did she let go?
She saw the confused and hurt look...
on Dong Hyun's face and couldn't stand it, so she let go.
I know you take good care of Dong Hyun,
but you can't do the same, so...
I let him stay with his mom.
Honey.
I didn't know that's what you intended.
I just thought you sided with her over me.
I'm sorry.
You're so wise.
Just like King Solomon.
What should I do?
What is it now?
I like you so much I think I'm going crazy.
Don't you betray me.
The day you do is the day we both die.
Okay?
Okay.
Get up. I have to go to the clinic.
Let's stay like this a bit longer.
I have an appointment.
Then come home early. I'll cook something special.
Okay.
See you.
Hello.
The director's in surgery.
I know. I came to take him home.
Here. It's for you.
What is it?
A wallet.
You did a lot to help...
like when I got back together with Joon Ho.
Thank you.
This is a designer brand.
I can't take this.
You're making me feel bad.
I want you to take it, so take it.
This is a bribe, a bribe, a bribe.
It might not be.
Should I take it or not? That is the question.
Soo Mi.
You're here.
You said you'd wait at home with dinner ready.
Everything's ready.
I didn't want to wait alone, so I came for you.
Let's go home together.
Oh dear.
You wanted to eat pizza that badly?
Yes. Song Joo treats all fast food like they're junk food.
Why is pizza junk food?
Everyone around the world eats it.
(Director Park Ha Rin)
Hello, director. How are you?
Yes, I'm just...
practicing hard as Master Sagong makes me.
An audition?
Thank you, director.
The role?
I'll take any role you give me.
Yes.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
Mom, did you just get a role?
No, I need to audition first.
Then you aren't even cast yet.
- Why are you crying? - I don't know.
Why am I crying when I haven't even gotten the role yet?
Dong Hyun, I have to practice.
Finish this and study, okay?
Okay.
Love, love, love, love
How have you been, master?
You look very happy today.
Director Park called me.
Oh, did she?
She told me to audition tomorrow.
What do you think?
Do you think your voice is ready for you to audition?
Do you think your voice is ready?
No.
Let's practice then.
Ready?
Imagine a string on the top of your head...
and pull your voice up through your crown with it.
Again.
That's it.
I don't think I'm ready yet.
Should I audition?
Are you serious?
Of course.
Master.
I'll call Director Park...
and say I'll attend a later audition.
No.
To refuse the director's offer...
would be too rude.
Attend the audition and do what you did today.
Do your best.
Okay.
I'll do that.
The severity varied across all skin types,
but everyone felt the stinging sensation.
Some even more so than others.
How bad was it?
She's a musical actress and her personality's crazy too.
She can't even use most specially-made creams.
- How is her skin now? - Much better.
That cream I put on your hand when it was scalded.
I put that on her face and the redness went down.
Did it? That's interesting.
That was a burn cream.
Jin Ok came up with an idea.
How did she think of that?
We could produce the burn cream she made.
I sent a sample to the lab.
We must hurry.
We have to wait for now.
Cha Jin Ok.
Don't touch her.
What do you mean?
If you dare touch the people around me once more,
I won't forgive you.
- Hi. - Bok Nam.
What are you...
You sold this many item?
It's the first month.
The people I know came over to help.
Today, two complete strangers came in...
and bought something.
My gosh. Good for you. You'd do really well...
if you only watched your expression.
My expression?
It's a bit off-putting.
You worked from a desk your whole life.
Sales is about meeting and dealing with all sorts of people.
That's true.
- So what? - The thing is,
human beings are tough to deal with.
Here's a sales proverb.
"To make others pay cash,"
"I have to give them my liver and gallbladder."
I have to humor people and make them happy.
- Is that it? - That's exactly it.
This is what you must do.
Kimchi. Cheese. Smile.
That's a must.
Give it a go.
- Kimchi. Cheese. Smile. - Kimchi. Cheese. Smile.
You look better already.
- Here. - Thanks.
Isn't it nice that our stores are in the same mall?
We can drink together after closing.
I should thank you for all the tips.
I learned one more thing today.
Kimchi. Cheese. Smile.
Bok Nam.
Since your business is kicking off,
treat Jin Ok to something.
My wife?
She can't drink.
Come on, Bok Nam.
Give her some spending money.
Spending money?
No husband gives his wife spending money.
Why not? I give mine my salary.
What salary?
Housewives are professionals.
Do you know how much a helper makes?
100 to 150 dollars a day depending on the size of the house.
What? You pay her that much?
No, not exactly.
Women say they find it hard to...
spend money on what they want.
It would be. Someone in the family needs it more.
So you give your wife cash to spend on what she wants.
Even if you do,
they can't spend it unless they were spending it already.
You did pretty well this month,
so give your wife some cash.
I bet she'll have a huge smile the next day.
Will she? How much should I give her?
- About 50 dollars? - What?
Give her 300, please.
300 dollars?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Yes.
She suffered enough marrying a man like me.
I yelled at and looked down on her.
Yes. I'm sorry. I apologize.
Hey. Where's your mom?
In the kitchen.
Here.
- What's that? - Spending money.
For whom?
If it's Dae Young's, give it to him.
- It's for you. - For me?
Fess up what it's for.
I'm giving you, Cha Jin Ok some spending money.
Why can't you get the message?
You got a job.
If you weren't fired already, get yourself some clothes.
Don't spend it on the family. Spend it however you want.
What's the occasion?
It's the first time you ever gave me spending money.
They say you die if you suddenly change.
You aren't sick, are you?
Are you trying to jinx me?
He should've tried sooner.
Yes, you should give that a go.
Why won't you join us?
You don't need to eat because I gave you spending money?
Money?
Dad gave Mom spending money?
Yes, for her to spend however she wants.
I bet it was for expenses.
No. He really did give me spending money.
For the first time in my life.
I was touched yesterday and happy.
Other wives smile when they're given money.
Smile for me.
There.
Good. That'll do.
Here you go.
What?
You're giving it back because of that?
That's not why I'm returning it.
Then what?
You can't afford to give me money.
You need to save up and pay Mr. Baek back.
I felt good while I had it with me overnight.
That's good enough.
No. Keep it.
I can pay Mr. Baek back with what I make.
I know how you feel and that's good enough for me.
What kind of woman can't just play along?
You just complain that I mistreated you all along.
Do you want me to forgive you for...
years of abuse for an envelope of cash?
Did I ask for forgiveness?
I just gave it to you.
I know that.
That's why I said I was happy.
So save it up and pay back Mr. Baek.
Then I'll take whatever money you give me.
See you.
My goodness.
Here.
- You spend it. - What?
It's too much.
Your mom said that...
you learned something while working in Africa.
- Yes. - Do you want to study?
- I'm considering it. - Thanks.
It was for your mom anyway,
so you can spend it instead.
I can't do that knowing Mom will yell at me.
Now even you won't listen to me?
Just take it.
It is pretty.
Only certain women carry such bags.
You're pretty but not meant to be mine.
Yes. Comfort is best.
Hello. How can I help you?
I'd like to get a refund.
It was a gift, but I don't like it.
How about exchanging it for something else?
No, give me a refund.
Nothing here is my style.
Do you have the receipt?
It was a gift so I don't.
I got it two days ago.
If you look up the model, you might find the credit card slip.
Okay, I'll have a look.
We're not supposed to do this. Shall I really cancel the purchase?
Yes, please.
Okay.
Really? That's not bad.
What's this?
A canceled credit card purchase? For 1,500 dollars?
1,500 dollars?
Is it my mom's bag?
What is wrong with her?
Mom, did you return the bag?
Yes, I did.
Why? It's just a bag.
You could've just used it.
I'm on my way over there.
Let's talk in person.
What's wrong?
She's on her way here.
Now?
You should've kept it.
We feel bad now.
Mom, you're supposed to just accept gifts like that.
Give us a chance to be good to you.
I'll say you're good to me even if you don't buy me a bag.
That's not what I mean.
You finally started to work.
We can get you a present.
How about we buy you something else then?
This is why I came over.
To stop you from being silly and wasting money.
Why would we waste money?
I'll be frank. It's not like you make millions.
Hyeon U... Mr. Baek, you're a head nurse,
but you'll retire soon and you'll have a baby too.
You need to save up when you can,
not waste on things like this.
It's not exactly wasting.
She's right. We didn't do anything else for you.
You got my husband a store as soon as you got married.
I don't like that either.
It was the deposit to give your tenants.
Why did you do that?
Mom. I don't want to be like you, trembling with fear...
over having to spend.
I know that you don't want to live like I did.
You don't have to. I don't want you to live like that.
But you must at least have a plan.
If you have a bag worth 1,500 dollars,
you need clothes and shoes to go with it.
That's how you end up spending too much.
Okay, I get it.
Who does the finances?
We manage our own salaries.
Your own? You keep your spending secret?
We halve all living expenses...
and put the same amount into our saving accounts.
The rest is ours to spend. How is that keeping a secret?
(Judge)
Don't you get nervous.
You'll just ruin things.
Are you not nervous at all?
Even my heart is beating out of my chest.
You're just like the kids. You're all talk...
but none of you have the guts.
That's because you performed a lot in school.
That was years ago, like forever ago.
Girls. Breathe deeply like this.
Why are you doing it?
Because I'm nervous too.
You're just so timid.
She's done. It's our turn.
Next, number 33, Tak Il Lan and Tak Yi Ran.
Let's do this.
We'll cheer from you at the front so don't get too nervous.
- Let's do our cheer. - Yes.
- Il Lan. - Yi Ran.
- The twins, the twins, ya, ya, ya. - The twins, ya, ya, ya.
Good luck. Have a sip of water.
- Good luck. Don't be nervous. - Be quiet.
- Good luck. - Do your best!
You're so pretty.
- Hi, we're number 33, Tak Il Lan. - Tak Yi Ran.
The twins.
Good luck.
- You're twins? - Yes.
Did you practice a lot?
- No, not much. - No, we practiced a lot.
Loosen up and get started.
Just a moment!
Honey.
What now?
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Begin.
How could you advance instead?
You'd have failed even if I didn't go up there.
He can't give the presentation.
The company's future depends on that presentation.
I think there's a way.
