She needs to get a treatment.
She might lose her sense of taste.
Does that mean I can't taste any more?
Please tell us in detail.
She's a chef. She can't lose her sense of taste.
Are you a chef?
It can be cured, right?
It's just temporary, isn't it?
Thankfully you drank something diluted.
It was treated quickly, so you have no problem talking.
But your taste buds have been damaged.
If you get treatment, your cells will restore in eight weeks.
You're saying it's curable?
Every patient is different,
so it takes longer for some people to get better. Although rare,
some people lose their sense of taste completely.
Doctor.
It doesn't matter how much it will cost.
Please do everything you can to make her better.
We'll change hospitals if we have to.
Just don't let her lose her sense of taste.
Let's try getting some treatment.
Don't worry.
I'll help you get better no matter what.
Just trust me.
What if I can never taste again?
Why are you imagining the worst case scenario?
The doctor said most people will heal in eight weeks.
It'll be fine if you get treatment like the doctor tells you.
We finally have the chairwoman's permission.
I thought it'd be easy from now.
Why are these things happening to me?
I won't be able to appear on the television program.
That's not important right now.
Someone else can be on it. We'll find a way.
To be honest, I thought it would be a good chance...
to show the chairwoman something with the television show.
I wanted to do well. Why is this happening to me?
There will be another chance.
Anyway,
why were there chemicals in that water?
I don't get it.
What's taking Bang Wool so long?
Is it serious?
I'm worried too.
Are you all right, Chae Rin?
Yes. I spat it out as soon as I had a taste.
It only stings a little bit.
Bang Wool.
What did the doctor say?
I have a burn in my mouth.
What's going to happen to you?
You seem to be okay talking. Can you eat?
I have to watch what I eat while I'm getting treatment.
Are you all right?
Yes. It stings a little bit, but I'm okay.
What's the reason?
It's because of alkali liquid.
I think there was a problem with the water.
I don't think so.
I checked the water and tea in the break room, and it was fine.
If it's not the water or the tea,
where did the alkali substance come from?
I'm not sure.
Could it be your tumbler?
All three of you used tumblers to make tea.
Ah Reum, did your water taste strange?
Yes. I didn't have it because I saw you two spit it out.
It did smell strange.
Could it really be the tumblers?
Who would do such a thing?
Was it intended to hurt Ms. Eun?
Why do you think it was done on purpose?
Well...
I just can't believe she got a burn from drinking water.
That's why I'm asking you to look into it.
Ms. Han had some too, but just Bang Wool got hurt.
Ms. Han drank it as well?
I don't think it's bad enough for Ms. Han to need treatment.
I know it's your week-long vacation starting today.
I'm sorry I'm asking you for such a favor.
However,
I think I need to look into it. I want you to do it.
Okay, sir.
I'm sorry.
I think we should send someone else to the show.
You can't evaluate foods if you have a burn in your mouth.
Anyway, who can I send?
Ms. Han, are you really all right?
- Yes. - Then we have no choice.
You'll have to go on the show in Ms. Eun's place.
I'll report it to the higher-ups.
You have to evaluate dishes. Shouldn't a menu developer go?
That only leaves you in our department, Ms. Yang.
Well, I'm not saying I'll go.
A menu developer should go. Why is Ms. Han going?
It's a chance for our department. Why would I pass that up?
Also, Ms. Han develops menus time to time.
On top of that, she's beautiful and educated.
I'm all right, sir. You should let Ms. Yang go.
She's a menu developer, and I think she wants to be on television.
No, I didn't mean it like that.
Forget it. I'm going to report that Ms. Han is going.
Due to the chief director's order, I came to investigate the incident.
I'll be collecting the water, tea, and the tumbler.
I see.
How are you going to investigate?
It's hard for us check what's in it,
so we'll request an official investigation.
You're going to call the police?
Two people were hurt.
We need to figure out what happened.
The chief director told me to be thorough.
Of course.
Jin Seok, can you show him?
Okay.
I know it's your vacation. I'm sorry you can't even rest.
Are you all right?
Chief Director told me that it's worse than he thought.
It stings and hurts.
However, I can stand it.
I'm just afraid I'll lose my taste forever.
That won't happen.
Don't worry and get treatment.
I'll look into it.
Okay. Thank you.
Mom, does it hurt a lot?
A little bit.
What kind of water burns your mouth?
Thank goodness you spat it out. It could have been worse.
Good things were happening to you.
Why did this happen all of a sudden?
I could have been a lot worse.
She'll get better by taking pills and getting treatment.
I went to ask my colleague to be nice to Bang Wool...
when I heard that she's not coming anymore.
She said some people can lose their taste forever.
Watch what you say.
You're having trouble getting pregnant because you talk so mean.
You're the one talking mean.
Ji Yeon, how dare you talk back to your mother-in-law?
I don't care about everything else,
but don't get on my nerves about the baby problem!
I'm just telling her she should be nicer, that's all.
She's trying hard to get pregnant. Why would you say that?
I'm upset too.
What?
Was I that bad?
Also, they can get pregnant as long as they try.
They're too sensitive.
It's Bang Wool that's sick.
Bang Wool, taste this.
Pardon?
Why are you so surprised?
Okay.
It's fine.
Really? Isn't it too sour?
Hey, try and taste this.
I think it's more sour than usual.
Did you do this on purpose?
Right?
Bang Wool, is it all right to you?
Actually,
an accident happened at the head office a few days ago...
and I got a burn in my mouth.
Really?
I thought I'd get better soon, so I didn't tell you.
However, my conscience is telling me to stop.
I don't think I can marinate for a while.
I can't taste anything.
Did the doctor say that you can be cured?
Yes, but it's taking a lot longer than I thought.
It must feel like the world's collapsing.
All right.
I'll do all the sauces for a while. You can prepare the ingredients.
Yes, sir.
Also, don't tell the head office for the time being.
It's a good thing you're not developing menus now.
Yes.
Right, the chief director is here in the staff room.
What brings you here?
I decided to drop by while I was out for a meeting.
You look like you're feeling down again today.
I told the chef the truth.
Since I'm getting treatment, he won't tell the head office.
Right.
You'll be fine after the treatment, so he doesn't need to tell them.
It'll come back, right?
It's not like you to worry so much.
Can't you think of it as having a small break?
I'll try.
Why do you keep coming to work?
I heard you got a restaurant for your severance pay.
I need to finish investigating the accident.
How is the investigation going? What was the problem?
Why are you so interested in that?
Why wouldn't I be? I was one of the victims.
After the investigation, there will be an official announcement.
I don't see a reason to tell you now.
When I heard you quit,
I felt bad.
You mean you felt relieved.
You always wanted me to quit working here.
Yes, I did feel that way at one point.
Anyway, I hope you make a lot of money...
and live happily.
With what happened, I thought you'd be home, sick in bed.
But you're here.
Do you have nothing to do? You come here too often.
Hey.
I came here because I was worried about you and your daughter.
You say that,
but I can see you're happy at our misfortune.
Goodness.
Not everyone is like you.
Just because you don't treat people with sincerity,
doesn't mean other people don't either.
What?
I heard you badmouthing me...
in front of Manager Shin.
You said you were happy to see an old friend,
but...
you said you thought nothing of me in front of her.
I'm nothing to you?
That's because you hit her. I was trying to console...
Despite what you said, I came here for you...
which I shouldn't have.
When I heard that, I got so furious...
I almost went to your husband to tell him about Jang Ho and the baby.
Gang Ja, I'm sorry.
I hate you pretending to be so pitiful!
Mom.
Chae Rin.
Why did you say that to my mom?
Chae Rin, that's because...
Why are you here?
Why were you yelling at my mom?
There's a good reason for that.
I'm your mom's friend from an orphanage.
Mom.
Is that true?
Is this ignorant and crude woman your friend from orphanage?
What are you doing?
Gosh, you two aren't related at all, but how...
can she be a wench just like you?
Did you just hit me?
That's right!
You deserve it for talking rudely to your mom's friend!
Get out!
You aren't my friend anymore!
Now you show your true color.
You don't care any more, do you?
Fine. Do whatever you want!
Don't act all high and mighty.
The chief director doesn't even like you,
but you acted like you were BH Group's daughter-in-law.
I'm glad you fell off your high horse!
Are you okay?
How can you be friends with a woman like that?
Are you bragging that you're from an orphanage?
Han Chae Rin.
(2017 ISABEY Spring Collection Presentation)
This is for shop managers. Why did you bring me here?
I'm selected as an outstanding manager.
I know, but you could've brought Ms. Jeong.
She has to sell clothes.
I became an outstanding manager because I was working hard for you.
So you have to be here.
The 2017 Spring Collection Presentation will begin now.
This year's spring collection is contemporary casual.
Anyone can wear it every day without feeling overly dressed.
It's practical and feminine.
Goodness. This one is so pretty.
I have a feeling...
that this will be a huge hit.
Wan, what do you think?
If the outstanding manager thinks it'll be a hit,
then it will.
Right?
Nothing is going right. Everything is a mess.
I'm so upset because of Bang Wool...
and I can't believe that woman is my mom's friend.
Wait.
What if she told the chairwoman that my mom's a stepmom?
This is so annoying.
Byeol. Drink this.
Okay.
What does it taste like?
It's just water.
It doesn't taste like anything else, right?
Right.
Okay. Keep coloring.
I've been taking pills, but I'm not getting better.
What if I can't taste any more?
Bang Wool.
Why aren't you resting? What are you making?
I'm making mushroom onion soup.
You can't taste anything. Why are you...
Wait. Are you better now?
No.
The water tastes weird and I can't taste anything.
Then why are you making this?
Doing nothing makes me so worried.
I want to try cooking even though I can't taste.
Don't be impatient.
You might get worse because you're too stressed.
I think I'll lose my cooking skills if I don't do anything.
I'm staring with a simple dish. So I feel good about it.
Please taste it when I'm done.
I think I'm getting better at this.
It didn't hurt, did it?
I hope it'll work out at the hospital tomorrow.
It'll be fine.
I don't think...
I can try in-vitro fertilization again.
I'll do whatever you want to do.
So relax.
I know Mother doesn't know what I'm going through.
But how can she say I'm not getting pregnant because I'm mean?
She isn't helping.
Stop having bad thoughts...
and go to sleep so you can be in top condition.
Lie down.
You're the prettiest when you sleep.
Good night.
You're so pretty.
Ms. Han.
Did you drink?
Yes, I did. A little bit.
You should go home. Why are you here?
What makes me inferior to Bang Wool?
She's a single mom.
Why can't it be me?
Ms. Han.
I...
love you so much.
I want you so badly.
Please, wake up and come back to me.
It was short,
but we were good together.
Please.
You're drunk. I'll call a taxi for you.
This number is currently on the line.
Is he on the phone?
A taxi is coming. You should go. You're drunk.
You haven't answered my question.
I can't let you go.
Especially not to someone lowly like Bang Wool!
Listen.
You should watch what you say even if you're drunk.
She may look lowly to you, but she's all I see.
It's probably useless talking to someone drunk,
but what you're feeling isn't love. It's obsession.
Also, don't ever come find me again.
I love you, Woo Hyuk.
I want you so badly.
Please, look at me.
I'm begging you.
Do you still have lingering feelings for Woo Hyuk?
It's not just feelings. It's love.
Stop bothering my man.
I can't help it if you have a crush,
but don't show it in front of me or Woo Hyuk.
You better watch yourself.
Do you think you have it all because he likes you right now?
Someone like you...
can never marry into BH Group.
No, I won't allow it.
It's you who should watch yourself.
Haven't you had enough already?
Woo Hyuk doesn't like you.
What?
Enough.
I won't just sit and watch anymore.
Did you call a taxi?
(Mom)
Is she not picking up?
No.
You should have introduced Gang Ja as your friend from the start.
It wouldn't have been so shocking.
Chae Rin visited the chairwoman a lot.
I didn't want her to get uncomfortable.
Gang Ja wanted it to be a secret too.
Nothing good comes out from secrets. I bet she feels backstabbed.
I felt that way too.
Things aren't going well these days. I'm so worried.
I want to run away from home because of Chae Rin.
I feel so uncomfortable at home.
You saw Chae Rin?
Did you...
see me with her?
Yes.
Then you must have seen something that could upset you.
That's why I told off Ms. Han.
What?
What did you say to her?
I told her not to bother my man.
What?
Did you really say that?
Or is that what you were thinking inside?
I really said it. Why won't you believe me?
No, I...
I thought you might have gotten the wrong idea.
However, you told her that I'm yours.
That makes me happy.
She shouldn't do that even if she's drunk.
The chairwoman accepted me too.
Good job.
Anyway,
why are you here?
I made some onion and mushroom soup. Give it to your mother.
You made this at this hour?
You don't even have your taste back.
It makes me nervous and anxious just sitting there and waiting.
I decided to make simple dishes just by guessing.
Tell me what she says after she tries it.
You must be a lot more anxious than I thought.
I forget all about it while cooking. I was happy.
Gosh. You're so drunk.
Great job.
A grown-up woman shouldn't go around drunk like this.
If you want to drink, drink at home.
Honey, you should go down. She's in a bad mood.
Gosh.
Chae Rin.
I'm sorry.
I should have told you earlier.
What would that have changed?
You're still from the orphanage,
and she'll still be your friend.
At least you wouldn't be as shocked.
I didn't tell Dad about you getting hit today.
Don't tell him, okay?
Everything is annoying.
You should leave.
Bang Wool brought it for you just now.
I know it's good for her blood pressure,
but this brings up bad memories. Why did she bring this?
Bang Wool must be really kind.
I wouldn't want to see this dish ever again.
- Woo Kyung. - Yes?
Stop it.
Bang Wool and I have to continue to win Mom's heart.
Right. My mistake.
How is it?
I already know Bang Wool is a good cook.
Are you saying it's good? Does it taste the same as before?
Why are you asking her so much? Mom's shy.
You wrote everything that happened on that day, right?
Yes.
Do the police have any leads?
It's going slowly since I told them to investigate carefully.
That's why they asked the three of you to hand this in by writing.
I wrote everything I can remember.
I'll call you if I remember anything else.
Yes, Woo Hyuk.
Really? I'm so glad.
Okay.
Did something good happen?
I cooked something for the chairwoman,
and she said the food tastes the same.
I couldn't taste it, so I made it by guessing.
You have absolute taste, and now absolute skills.
I haven't seen you smile so big ever since the incident.
Woo Hyuk!
Byeol.
Where are we going? Why did you tell us to dress up?
We're meeting someone important.
We aren't going to see the chairwoman, are we?
I shouldn't have dressed like this then.
No.
I'll give you heads up when we're meeting my mom.
Then where are we going?
You'll see.
Get in.
You bought a car seat?
They said kids Byeol's age need car seats.
Woo Hyuk.
Byeol.
You have to sit there.
Okay.
This is my dad's tree.
How did you know this place?
I asked your father-in-law.
I got my mother's permission.
So now I should say hello to Byeol's dad.
Byeol, come here.
Woo Hyuk will say hi to your dad.
(Yoon Dong Joon's Tree)
I'm Park Woo Hyuk.
Don't worry about...
Bang Wool and Byeol.
I will...
take care of them and make them happy like you would've.
Bang Wool.
I love you.
(Love is Drop by Drop)
The police called.
Someone did that on purpose?
Let's stop here.
It's over when I say it's over.
I'm not afraid of anything.
I heard Ms. Han came by.
She did.
You never invited Bang Wool, but how can you invite Ms. Han?
It's good to meet you. I'm Kang Sang Cheol.
Boss, I hope you get rich.
You're here.
Recently I heard news about Jang Ho.
