(Episode 34)
(Uicheon Villa)
Tae Ho.
Grandmother?
Grandma.
It's me, your grandmother.
It's your grandma.
- It's your grandma. - Grandmother!
Is it really you?
My puppy. My grandson.
My puppy.
My grandson.
It has been rough, hasn't it?
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I couldn't show myself sooner.
There you go. My dear grandson.
My gosh.
What happened to you?
I believed you had died.
They said your body was found in a reservoir,
and we even had a funeral.
It's embarrassing to admit this to you,
but that's the kind of people I have for a son and daughter-in-law.
Are you saying they have been fooling me?
How...
Tae Ho.
You must stay calm at a time like this.
You can't let your emotions take over.
Still, I can't forgive them.
How could they have a funeral for someone who is alive and well?
This is unthinkable.
Actually, it's even worse than that.
I will make them pay for what they did.
No, not yet. You must be patient.
We don't have the power to bring them to justice yet.
We must wait for the right time.
That's why I didn't show myself until now.
Do you get what I'm saying?
How did you end up living here?
This is Hyo Sim's...
I know.
You met such a lovely young lady.
I was in a fender bender with Hyo Sim's younger brother.
That's how I ended up here.
A fender bender?
Yes.
Anyway, that's how things started,
and now I live here.
The scarf.
It looks good on you.
I knew it would.
Then you knew?
Goodness.
How could we all be connected in this way?
It's such a special relationship.
You have no idea how much I thanked the deities.
Your girlfriend.
She's a very good person.
I know that from seeing her up close.
You lost your parents...
and had no one to turn to.
Knowing you met someone like Hyo Sim...
You don't know how relieved I am.
Yes. Hyo Sim really is a great person.
She rejected me many times at first.
She would have.
She's such an upright person.
She'd have rejected you.
I'm so relieved...
you're alive.
If I'd known sooner that you were alive,
you'd have suffered less.
- I'm really sorry. - Gosh.
So, Tae Ho.
What did you do with the scholarship foundation?
Are you...
still tied to it?
We have to keep it secret for the time being.
To the Uicheon Villa people,
and to the young lady you love,
you can't tell them everything yet.
The people here.
Unlike most people out there, they're sweet and innocent.
You can't cause them any confusion.
And if Sook Hyang finds out I live here,
no one knows what she'll do...
to harm the people here.
So Tae Ho.
You must take action while keeping everything secret.
Do you get that?
Tae Ho.
What are you doing here?
The scarf.
It suits you.
Why are you like this all of a sudden?
I want to thank you for the scarf.
You don't need to.
It wasn't from me.
It was from the lady in the rooftop room.
People in my class said it looked nice too.
I should thank her again later.
She's such a nice lady.
If Mom and I hadn't fought,
I'd have introduced you to her.
Because of my mom...
Why are you like this today?
Thank you so much.
Do you know something?
Each time I face a crisis, you save me.
Everything I got through, I got through because of you.
I couldn't have done anything if you hadn't been there for me.
I'd have returned to the US long ago.
But I had my Hyo Jjim.
"Hyo Jjim?"
I stayed here to exercise,
fight, have fun, and go on dates with you.
And thanks to you, I got an incredible gift today.
I won't forget it.
I'll make it up to your family too.
And whatever happens, I'll protect you.
Why have you been like this?
It's as if you're going to war, and I'm getting really nervous.
Don't feel nervous.
I'll do all that.
Give this to your mother.
I don't want to. Why did you buy it?
My mom is just fine.
She's doing perfectly well.
Don't say that. Do as I say.
She's not fine. She's not well.
Parents wait.
Even if their child screams...
and slams the door as if they'll never come back,
they wait as soon as their child leaves.
They wait for their child to come back and ask to be fed.
So...
take this and go see your mom.
You're refusing to answer.
Hang on. Maybe I should take this...
and tell the neighbors that I'll marry you...
so you can never date anyone again.
Okay, fine. I'll go see my mom.
You always tell me to do as you say.
Once we get married, I'll do as you say.
I'll do everything you tell me to.
So...
don't think of running away.
I need a daughter that looks just like my Hyo Jjim.
Wouldn't she be cute?
Ms. Soo Kyung.
Why are you out in the cold?
I'm waiting for Tae Min.
I see.
Did he go somewhere after work?
I can't really say.
I'll go inside, then.
Don't stay out too long.
You could catch a cold.
In this whole house,
you're the only one who cares about me.
You might as well...
ask me anything you want to know.
What do you mean?
It's as I just said.
If you want to know something,
whatever it may be, you can ask me.
I'll give you an answer.
No. I don't want to get between you two.
It'll be tough, but stay strong.
See you.
I don't think you're in a position to be picky.
Come talk to me whenever you change your mind.
(Our Neighborhood)
Here's the release form.
Affix your seal or sign here.
Okay. I'll affix my seal.
I brought it with me.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Will you really sign it?
I said I would.
Let go.
Just you wait.
The business is failing, isn't it?
Or is this a place where someone died?
My gosh. Have you lost your mind?
A place where someone died?
What are you talking about?
It's not like that.
My kid suffers from an atopic disease.
So I'm moving to Jeju Island where my parents live.
Come on. Just stay out of this.
- My gosh. - Hey.
You can't lose the money you got from Hyo Sim just like this.
Well... You don't have to sign the contract.
We still have some time left on the contract,
so we were just hoping we wouldn't pay rent for another three months.
No, I want to sign it. I really do.
Wait, Sun Soon.
What's wrong with you?
Why are you being like this? Don't stop me.
Let go!
My goodness.
Oh, dear.
You don't want to lose the money...
that Hyo Sim gave you for the last time just like this.
Then let's bring this contract to the real estate agency...
and meet with the building owner.
Then you should have your health certificate issued...
and receive hygiene education.
We will meet again...
so you take over the business license at the district office.
Okay. Thank you.
Let's go to the real estate agency then.
All right.
Sun Soon, you should give it a good thought.
Gosh, Sun Soon. Wait for me.
(Bianca)
There are some procedures to go through,
but, Kkeut Soon, I'm the owner of this cafe now.
My goodness. You are finally running a cafe.
Look, Kkeut Soon. Fortunately, I met good people...
and got all the furnishings...
including the coffee machine, sofas, tables, and chairs...
without an additional charge.
I'm so happy.
This place is lovely.
Hey, but there's no place where you can make pajeon.
- Pajeon? - Yes.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not selling alcohol.
Why would I sell alcohol in such a pretty place like this?
Though my children are quite useless to me,
I still...
can't run a drinking establishment...
when they didn't even get married yet.
Then what are you going to do?
I have an idea.
Hey, I'm sure you'll go out of business in three months.
I swear on my thumb here.
You'll fail.
Ma'am, why don't you try holding this instead?
- It would be much easier. - Okay.
You should make it a little lighter. Thank you.
Wait. Let me help you with that.
Breathe in as you pull. Breathe out.
Please try it again. Good.
Excuse me.
Yes, Tae Ho.
What are you doing?
I can't talk for long. Just get to the point.
Come on. This is disappointing.
I would've texted you if it had been something not calling about.
I'm calling you because I wanted to hear your voice.
We have a lot of clients at the gym today.
Why is that?
They want to start working out again in the New Year,
so the gym is full now.
That's what people do.
That's their New Year's resolution,
but they will stop showing up within a month.
Just tell me what this is about.
I'll be there this afternoon.
What? Why?
To practice my golf swings.
Are you going golfing when it's so cold?
You'll see.
Anyway, don't be surprised when you see me there.
I'll see you then.
Tae Ho?
Ms. Min.
Ms. Lee, can we talk for a moment?
What?
What is it? Is something wrong?
I'll be straight with you.
Ms. Lee.
You're dating Mr. Kang Tae Ho, aren't you?
You don't have to answer me if you don't want to.
No, it's true.
Ms. Lee.
I'm sorry. It just happened that way.
Ms. Lee, why did you do that?
You saw how Choi Mi Nam got fired.
And the most important rule here is...
that we're not allowed to date clients.
You're the one who knows that best.
How could you do that?
Isn't this something Mr. Kang should know about?
Ms. Min.
Please don't tell Mr. Kang Tae Ho about this.
What if you get fired?
If Mr. Yang finds out, he won't let it slide.
Please don't tell Tae Ho...
even if Mr. Yang finds out.
Ms. Lee!
Please do as I say. I'm asking you.
What are you going to do?
Who else...
knows about this?
Both Mr. Jang and Mr. Hwang know.
But we are not going to tell Mr. Yang about this.
So you should end things with him as soon as possible.
Or you should at least tell him to find another gym.
If other clients find out, things will get out of hand.
Okay.
I'm sorry, Ms. Min.
We will now start the board meeting to discuss...
the promotion of Taesan Group's vice chairman.
Since Chairman Kang Jin Bum's promotion,
Taesan has been without a new vice chairman.
Director Kang Tae Min is now a candidate for the promotion.
Please raise your hand...
if you believe Director Kang Tae Min is well-qualified...
for the position
According to the result of the voting,
Director Kang Tae Min...
has been promoted to vice chairman.
(Vice Chairman Kang Tae Min)
Get back to work, guys.
(Taesan Group)
(Vice Chairman Kang Tae Min)
Congratulations on your promotion to vice chairman.
It was a close call, though.
We will have to take better care...
of the directors on the other side.
There are procedures to go through until your promotion to chairman.
We will take care of all the legal issues before then.
Please make sure there are no illegal practices.
But, Mr. Kang, that would be far too risky.
There won't be any problems even if we stick with the plans...
we first came up with.
No.
I don't want any issues to be raised...
as I take over the chairman position.
As I mentioned to you earlier,
I will go through legitimate legal procedures...
even if that means I have to sell some of the affiliates.
Yes, sir.
Then I'll get going if you please excuse me.
Vice Chairman Kang.
Among the directors,
there's a rumor that Advisor Choi is alive.
That's probably why the voting was so close.
That's just ridiculous.
That's what I thought too.
However, we will need to figure out who started such a rumor.
Judging by the contributions Director Kang has made so far,
becoming the vice chairman was pretty much predictable.
Our goal will be to stop him in his tracks...
since he'll be using this as a stepping stone...
to become the chairman.
From what I hear, Director Kang is looking to liquidate...
some of our subsidiaries in order to cover the inheritance tax.
He's doing whatever he can to keep everything by the books.
We're still at a disadvantage.
However,
you should know that Advisor Choi is...
I'm aware.
I met my grandmother myself.
When?
Quite recently.
I thought she had passed away.
So I'm grateful to know that she is alive,
and her presence gives me strength.
I see.
Then, I will do my best to ensure Advisor Choi's safe return.
Right.
(Vice Chairman Kang Tae Min)
Come in.
Congratulations on your promotion to vice chairman.
You must be upset that you couldn't stop my promotion.
There's nothing to be upset about.
You will never become the chairman anyway.
Have some manners.
Don't treat me like a kid.
I'm not just your cousin anymore.
I'm now your competitor in the running...
(Vice Chairman Kang Tae Min)
for the chairman position.
Consider yourself informed.
I'll see you at the next board meeting.
Congratulations, Ms. Jang.
Director Kang's promotion to vice chairman...
was approved at today's board meeting.
That isn't what's important at the moment.
Does this concern Ms. Tae Hee?
I told you to remove her from the family register.
Tae Min's marriage is close to being in shambles.
They've been sleeping separately since the wedding.
What?
We've been going through hoops for his promotion,
but off he goes causing a mess of things...
by rejecting the woman who loves him.
I have a feeling we'll be on the outs with TV Live soon.
What do we do, Mr. Yeom?
What on earth did you just say?
How long has this been going on?
Ever since the first day of our honeymoon.
He has been treating me like a stranger.
That punk.
Have him come here this instant.
How dare he do this to my daughter?
He drove a nail through your heart before the wedding.
But that wasn't enough,
and he's still making you live in misery.
What he's hoping for...
is to keep you locked up at home...
or to make you leave him on your own accord.
Still.
I'd like to endure it a little longer.
No, don't.
In this day and age,
being divorced is hardly a flaw.
Leave him if that's what you want.
I'll take care of the mess.
I don't care if they're the great Taesan Group.
There isn't a group that can handle a backlash from the media.
Scandalous rumors about Taesan have already been surfacing,
so how dare they treat us this way?
Father, excuse me while I go to the restroom.
Hello?
Chairman Choi, it's me.
Who am I speaking to?
Who could you be?
This is Choi Myung Hee.
What?
Have you already forgotten my voice?
Who on earth are you?
Ungrateful and ill-mannered.
You haven't changed at all.
You graduated college on the scholarship I offered...
and went on to study in the US.
Shouldn't a dog recognize its owner?
But I guess you being in shock is understandable...
since you probably came by my fake funeral...
to squeeze a few tears out.
Is... Is it...
really you, Advisor Choi?
Are you talking to a ghost, then?
You'll know for sure once we meet in person.
We should meet.
An Joong Ho, three private sessions.
- Right. - Cho Eun Kyung,
eight private sessions.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
You've been coming by often in the mornings and evenings.
I needed to practice my golf swings.
But you've never come for golf practice.
I might have to play a game in the near future.
One that involves a bet?
Well, I guess.
I see you indulge in things that are frowned upon.
You're not wrong.
You're right.
You're not supposed to laugh that loud at a gym.
What's the matter with you?
Right. I apologize for that.
By the way, where's Ms. Lee?
Why are you asking for her?
Ms. Lee.
You're here.
You agreed to introduce me to Mr. Park.
Right. Please follow me.
I'll see you around, then.
That interaction had me sweating.
Mr. Hwang isn't here due to his gastritis.
Did you talk to Ms. Lee about this?
I did.
(VIP only: free 1-on-1 session with pro golfer Park Woo Ju)
What's with the cold shoulder?
Did you welcome a new client that was better looking than me?
One with larger eyes.
We'll talk about this later.
Have your lesson and head home.
Goodness. You're here.
Mr. Park, he's a client of mine, so please take good care of him.
Sure. Don't worry.
Mr. Kang, enjoy your lesson.
Right, of course.
- Shall we? - Sure.
Gosh.
Mr. Kang, that wasn't bad,
but you must stay centered.
Stay in posture...
and gently lift the back foot as you rotate.
Then, follow through.
- Let's try that again. - Sure.
- Get over here. - What...
What on earth...
Ms. Lee, is it true?
What are you talking about?
A rumor has spread among the gym members.
Did you ever go ice skating with General Manager Kang...
of Taesan Group?
- What? - One of the gym members...
went ice skating with her children...
and saw you two together.
She's been talking about it to everyone and anyone.
People have been saying...
that rather than instructing your clients,
you've been dating one.
On top of that, Mr. Kang is a member of Taesan's founding family.
Out of jealousy,
they've been calling you a gold-digger.
I keep telling them it's not true,
but no one will believe me.
There's no reason a young man and woman can't date.
Who are they to have a say in it?
Who cares if a fitness instructor dates her client?
Personally, I don't think it should be frowned upon.
Ms. Lee, don't let this discourage you.
Don't be dispirited and keep your head held up high.
(Bianca)
Hyo Sung, is that you?
Hello, Ms. Kkeut Soon.
This is serious.
What's going on?
Your mom got herself into trouble.
She took over a cafe.
What? A cafe?
Ms. Kkeut Soon, where is this cafe?
Gosh, what a mess.
Goodness. Kkeut Soon, can you take these?
What on earth did you buy so much of?
I can reuse everything here...
but not the dishcloths and rags.
I bought some new ones...
as well as dishwashing gloves,
sponges, and other things.
I figured I'd better replace them.
Also, I got some new paper towels...
and aprons.
- Kkeut Soon. - Yes?
Wet the dishcloths and clean the tables.
Why should I?
Did you hire me as your part-timer?
If you did,
pay me the minimum wage of 9.86 dollars an hour.
Forget it. Don't lift a finger.
I'll hire a handsome college kid instead.
What?
- Mother. - My gosh. What...
What are you doing here?
How did you know about this place?
- Gosh. - Kkeut Soon!
Kkeut Soon, is this how it'll be?
Mother!
Mother, what do you think you're doing?
You kids proposed that we all live our own lives,
so I'm trying to stand on my two feet as well. Why?
You don't know anything about running a cafe.
What? I can't believe you just said that.
What do I know, you ask?
Without your help,
I signed the lease for the cafe myself.
Are you looking down on me because I never went to high school?
I lived a longer life than any of you kids.
Unbelievable!
There are cafes like this everywhere.
How could you possibly make money running yours?
There are cafes everywhere...
because people can make money by running one.
Leave if you're going to rain on my parade.
Stop your whining and leave.
But you don't have any experience running one.
Do you need experience to do anything in this world?
If that had been the case,
I wouldn't have been able to be a mother to you all.
I married at the age of 21 and had four children.
Do you think I had experienced it beforehand?
I gave birth and raised you because I adored my babies.
That's how I became a mom.
I didn't become your mother because I knew how to be one...
and had the confidence to raise you.
I'll take out a loan if I have to...
and have you move in with us to a bigger apartment,
so please shut this idea down.
But that's not what I want.
What is the matter with you?
Mother!
How dare you raise your voice at me?
Are you belittling me?
Of course not.
You said we should live our own lives.
You told me to be independent.
Since we're on the subject, let me give you my two cents.
If you wanted us all to live our own lives,
why didn't you do it sooner?
You drained me of all I had,
but now that I'm old and weak,
you want us to go our separate ways.
When you went to college,
when you went to grad school, and when you got married.
Why didn't you suggest we live separate lives?
Mother, back then...
Why don't we go further back in time?
Like bear cubs, fox cubs,
and wolf pups, you should've...
grown up as soon as possible and left your mother's side...
by running across the vast plains.
After being born, you spent a year on your back.
Then you finally sat up...
to be fed birthday meals for several years.
You then hid under the sink,
dropped from the couch,
and floundered about after falling into a ditch.
For whatever reason, you attended school for 16 years.
You were then stationed up north for your military service...
and made me trip and fall...
while bringing you the seolleongtang I had cooked.
So what gives you the right...
to say we should live our own lives...
and to interfere with me running a cafe?
I said you could move in with us.
But that's not what I want.
Why should I move in with you at this age...
to cook for my grandchildren...
and walk on eggshells around my daughter-in-law?
Your mom is going to earn her own living.
I paid for the deposit with the money Hyo Sim gave me,
so I'll first pay her back.
After that, I'll lead a proud life for myself,
so mind your own business.
Darn it.
How dare you sigh into the ground...
when I've yet to open the doors to my cafe?
Get lost. Leave, already!
Gosh.
What?
Your mother's doing what?
She's going to run a cafe.
A cafe?
That's right.
How can she run a cafe at her age?
Even youngsters are packing up their businesses...
after seeing them flop these days.
Besides, who will come by to drink her coffee?
There are many other trending cafes,
so who'd want to drink coffee at a cafe run by an old lady?
I can't believe your mother.
How much money is she going to lose this time around?
Is it really necessary to put it that way?
Your mother constantly says she doesn't have money to spare,
so where did she get the money to open a cafe?
She spent the money that Hyo Sim gave her.
Unbelievable.
Honey, if you're thinking...
about standing surety for her or investing in the cafe...
That's not why I brought this up.
I'm worried about her just like you.
Let her fend for herself if this business of her tanks.
We can't bail her out again.
You don't have to say it...
because running a cafe is her way of being independent.
She doesn't want to move in with us and walk on eggshells around you.
Gosh.
Your mother must've finally come to her senses.
I think she's still in shock over Hyo Sim moving out.
She relied on Hyo Sim that much.
Hyo Sim was her husband,
her friend, and her daughter.
That reminds me.
Have you looked into Hyo Sim's potential husband?
Why should I look into it?
I won't let her marry into a family like his!
What kind of a family is he from to have you objecting this strongly?
Forget it. Stop asking me questions.
Are you kidding me?
It's not like your family has anything to be proud of.
Your father left his family a long time ago.
Hyo Jun has been studying for the bar for ten years.
Hyo Do still hasn't grown up and has been causing trouble.
That doesn't mean I'll let my sister marry a conglomerate heir...
from a scandalous family!
Hold on. What do you mean by that?
A conglomerate heir?
What did you mean by that?
It's nothing. I'm going to wash up.
Honey!
I told you it was nothing.
Tell me, darn it!
Aren't I your wife?
For better or for worse, I'm the eldest daughter-in-law.
Why am I always kept in the dark about these things?
Darn it.
Then, this is only for your ears.
Don't you dare tell my mother.
Fine.
She's dating the son...
of the deceased Vice Chairman Kang Jun Beom...
who is a member of my company's founding family.
What?
How? How did they meet?
Hyo Sim took him on as a client at the gym.
Really?
Is that true?
Is Auntie dating a conglomerate heir?
You brat!
How dare you eavesdrop on your parents?
Get out and close the door!
Is that true?
Is Auntie really dating a conglomerate heir?
(Taesan Group)
(Taesan's an international company with its head office in Korea.)
- Mom. - What?
Taesan Group has 36 subsidiaries...
and is worth 900 billion dollars.
What?
It's not just 100 million dollars.
A billion is ten times 100 million.
And Taesan's worth...
nine hundred of those.
Nine hundred of ten times 100 million?
Yes. Do you believe it?
What on earth is going on, Ru Bi?
I don't know. Aunt Hyo Sim?
She's not that pretty.
Right.
She didn't even finish college.
She's always in a sweatsuit, and she's not cute.
What does the guy see in her?
I don't know.
This is unbelievable.
Hello.
How could you?
You left the gym without me.
I had to get to English class.
I told you to take three classes a week.
I can teach you the other two days.
Hey, something's up. Am I right?
Not really.
Tell me right now, or I'll come over.
I'm...
considering quitting the gym.
What?
Wait...
Why?
Is a guy with big eyes really hitting on you?
It's not that.
Then what is it?
I heard the college transfer exam was difficult.
So I thought I should quit the gym to study full-time.
And take on a few private clients.
That would work too.
Are you sure it's about your studies?
It's not because of something else?
No, it's not.
Okay, then. Do as you wish.
I'd like to see you while I work out,
but I can visit often for curry.
Oh, did you...
visit your mother?
No.
Why not?
I was busy today.
Tae Ho, I have to study some more.
I'll hang up. Sleep well.
Hey, wait.
What are you doing?
Did you search my room?
Did you buy it for her?
You don't wear a wedding ring,
but you kept a ring you ordered for someone else?
Throw it out right away.
What? You can't?
I'm warning you.
Don't touch my things ever again.
What are you doing?
You married me knowing I loved someone else.
You're the one who came and said you'd marry me.
I refused many times, and you threatened me until I gave in.
So what?
Did your ego take a hit because you were forced to marry?
Is that what this is about?
You rejected my offer too.
Don't leave.
You stay here.
I'll go.
One fried chicken.
Enjoy the food.
Mister.
Let's talk.
Okay.
I'm dead busy. What do you want?
Why do you call my mom?
Are you after something?
Hey, why would I be after something?
I'm checking on my mother-in-law.
I told you I cut ties with Taesan Group.
Yes, but see...
Yes.
The biggest reason...
I married you was to avoid an arranged marriage.
I didn't want to care about backgrounds and conditions.
So why do you care so much about my family background?
Didn't we agree to focus on running this restaurant?
We did, and that's what we're doing.
But you can't cut ties with your parents.
Don't be like this. Patch things up with your mother.
You're being a bad daughter.
You'll regret this when your mother dies.
I'll be the bad daughter,
and I'll be the one to live with regret.
So you stay out of it.
How can I stay out of it? We're married.
As a married couple...
If you call my mom once more,
I'll take it to mean you have an ulterior motive...
and split up with you.
I'll divorce you.
How can you mention divorce that easily?
Shall I tell you one more thing?
Mr. Yeom called.
Mom sold all the assets that were in my name.
What?
I won't even get any inheritance.
What did you just say?
I'm practically penniless.
Feel free to tell me at any time if you want to end our marriage.
She's finally lost her mind.
Hey, Kang Tae Hee. We need to talk!
Tomorrow morning,
people will go to school, go to work,
and meet friends.
(Open audition for the special drama)
But I'll be lying in this small basement studio...
without even trying to go out.
(Special drama "The Brown Rat")
The walls covered with mold.
The bugs that crawl around at night.
I'm sick of them.
The heater has broken down,
but it feels like spring is still far off.
(Choi Soo Jung, Park Jo Hyun, Heo Tae Bum)
I wish I had things to do tomorrow.
No one cares about me.
Who is going to save me?
Cut.
Your resume says you were a lawyer.
Yes. That's true.
Where did you work?
Well...
I used to work at Hwang and Park.
What was your major?
Pardon? What do you mean?
I mean, what was your principal area of work at Hwang and Park?
I see.
It was mostly about the Criminal Procedure Act.
So...
why did you put your career as a lawyer on your resume?
To be honest with you,
I thought it would probably help catch your attention.
Why don't you go back to your old job?
Pardon?
It says on your resume...
that you don't have much experience as an actress.
I guess you'll be better off that way.
You'll only get old trying to survive in this field.
It's not even easy to take a supporting role.
With your good looks,
you'll be a lot happier...
living as a pretty criminal defense lawyer.
Just go back to your lawyer job.
(Rainbow Studio Apartments)
How did it go?
Did it go well?
Why are you waiting outside?
Mi Rim.
(Rainbow Studio Apartments)
Mi Rim.
(Jung Mi Rim's Final Crash Course)
Mi Rim.
Get out of my room. I need to change.
How did it go?
What do you think? Of course, I failed.
Well... There will be other auditions.
I don't know. Do you think I should try again?
Why are you being like this?
Leave me alone. I need to sleep.
I was so nervous that I didn't sleep at all.
Did you eat anything?
If you haven't, I could go out and get you something to eat.
Aren't you going to study?
This isn't a situation where I can study.
Me being like this doesn't mean you don't have to study.
Why are you doing this to me? Did I do anything wrong?
Does this have to do with the motel thing the other day?
What?
You don't have to worry about it.
What did you say?
It can happen to young people like us.
It was all done in the heat of the moment.
I also thought things like that would only happen to others.
But now that I've done it, it's no big deal.
I'm not an old-fashioned woman who'd ask you to marry me.
You should go study.
People feel lonely living in studio apartments like this.
so things can happen.
That's what this is about.
It's good that you're so cool about it.
I have to be cool.
Look where I am now. I didn't even achieve my dream.
I can't live hung up on a guy.
Get out. I really need to get some sleep.
What? Pil Lip.
I thought I told you to practice hard.
I'm tired. I can't do this anymore.
Fine. Take it easy. It's no problem.
Gosh.
You're quite easygoing for a guy from a rich family.
Ru Bi.
Well... Ru Bi. What's that supposed to mean?
You heard me.
Our aunt introduced us to you only 30 minutes ago.
But I think you're acting a little too friendly.
I see.
Well... You're Hyo Sim's niece and nephew,
so you guys are like my niece and nephew.
Why? Is that wrong?
What do you like about my aunt?
Everything.
I need one specific answer.
So I can understand you.
I see. Ru Bi, you need to understand.
All right then.
I like her because she's very...
pretty.
To be frank, she's not that pretty.
Maybe I am.
You're right.
I mean, you're pretty, Ru Bi.
But you're not as pretty as your aunt.
She's beautiful when she dresses up and wears makeup.
She was a model for our brand, you know.
But that's not the case for you.
I'm not interested in modeling.
I'll become a doctor.
I'm not just pretty. I'm also smart.
My boyfriend also wants to be a doctor.
His grandfather is a hospital director.
We also have Taesan Hospital.
You should work at our hospital once you become a doctor.
It'll be easier to work at your uncle's hospital.
I'll get a job on my own.
I'm not interested in becoming Cinderella.
Your aunt isn't Cinderella. If anyone, it's me.
- Why? - Ru Bi, please stop that.
You stay quiet.
Hey, I need to go to the study room.
But I came all the way here to pick you up...
who doesn't even know how to use public transportation.
Gosh.
Tell me. Why are you Cinderella?
Because I'm not good enough for your aunt.
My life which was full of ashes became brighter after I met your aunt.
So I'm Cinderella.
You sound like you're so in love.
So you didn't serve in the military, did you?
I heard that was what rich people did.
I'm sorry, but I served in the Marine Corps.
Have you heard of the Force Recon Battalion?
Are you really going to marry my aunt?
Yes.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Mr. Jang, where's Ms. Lee?
Did she go out already?
Please just leave when I'm being nice, Mr. Kang.
What do you think you're doing?
Have you lost your mind?
Do you know about the rumor going around the gym?
I'm sorry, sir.
Is that true? Is that it?
Are you really going out with Mr. Kang Tae Ho?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Mr. Yang.
Yes. Go ahead and tell me.
I'll quit working here.
Keep going.
Yes!
That was an eagle.
Nice!
- That was impressive. - Gosh, an eagle?
- What... - Hold on.
- Who may you be? - Hello.
You must be...
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Park Jun Sung of the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office.
- That I am. - Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm General Manager Kang Tae Ho of Taesan Group.
(Kang Tae Ho)
What could bring a conglomerate heir...
to a shabby place like this?
From what I heard, you once had...
the most promising career among your peers.
So for what reason could you be spending your time...
playing golf for money at a shabby place like this?
I'm not in a position to take on any big cases.
You could give yourself some work if you build a case yourself.
What do you mean by that?
Advisor Choi.
Have you been well?
(Live Your Own Life)
I'm truly sorry.
I failed you as your team leader.
Something is off.
Are you sure nothing happened at work?
What are you going to do about Mr. Kang?
I feel like I'm with Dad when he's by my side.
He comforts me in a way that Dad would've.
It's why I like him a lot, Hyo Sung.
Put in a good word for your brother after you marry him.
Why don't you persuade Mr. Kang and buy the gym for yourself?
Side with me instead of Jang Sook Hyang.
You'll soon be inaugurated as the vice chairman.
Are you going to waste your time with a divorce suit?
What is your plan regarding other media outlets?
We must strike first.
