(Hate to Love You)
Let's talk.
You told me to pretend not to know you.
We need to wrap up what we've been doing. We still have the surveys.
I already found a new part-timer.
Does that mean I'm fired?
I get that I was just a part-timer, but don't you think it's unfair?
You said you don't want to see me ever again. Don't you remember?
I think you're old enough to take responsibility for your own words.
Aren't I right?
He has no idea when to be flexible. He frustrates me so much.
He's too stubborn.
What are you doing here, Ms. Gil?
I'm Byun Bu Sik. I've been helping Ms. Kim with her business.
A lawyer?
Now, there's someone who actually studied law.
Nice to meet you, Ms. Gil Eun Jo.
Thank you, Mr. Byun... Bu Sik.
I won't give up that easily.
Calling someone's name is the beginning for everything.
(Episode 8)
Well, Mr. Hong Suk said he's downstairs now.
He'll be here shortly.
I have an announcement to make.
All of you must've seen the poster we put up yesterday.
The company is hosting a beauty makeup show.
Our center will organize it, so please stay focused.
I'll inform you of the details on the schedule later. Is that clear?
- Seriously? - I have no idea what it'll be like.
Mr. Hong Suk, you've been conducting the survey.
How much more time do you need?
It'll be done today.
Ms. Jung, help him for the time being.
Ms. Joo, please take care of her clients who are already booked.
Me?
Yes. You, Ms. Jung In Woo.
We shouldn't do that to clients though. Wouldn't it upset them?
Please just do as I say.
I'm asking you to do it for a reason.
What's the reason?
Well, may I continue to help Mr. Hong Suk?
Who wants to go first?
I've been working part-time here...
I mean, I've been helping him with the survey.
Why did you do that?
That's none of your business.
Anyway, we had a small argument yesterday,
and he's sulking now.
I'll be back soon.
Gosh, are you really going to be like this?
Goodness, you always have to have everything your way, don't you?
Thanks for all of your help. Goodbye.
I was too harsh on you yesterday.
But you were the one who upset me first, so let's call it even.
I've already calculated your pay... I'll send all the details over,
so please make sure to pay her, Director Goo.
Hey, Hong Suk!
Please do something.
Do what?
I've been conducting the survey with him.
Well, Ms. Gil. Please stop saying useless things. Suk Pyo...
I mean, Mr. Hong Suk doesn't want you back.
I'm pretty busy, so please leave me alone now.
Don't you need to hire a part-timer for the makeup show anyway?
Are you interested in the beauty industry?
I heard that your mother is thinking about starting a new business.
Pardon?
That's... I don't know anything about it.
Haeng Ja wants to start a beauty business?
Is that why she came in here with me that day?
Oh, I didn't know that you work here part-time.
Mind your own business, will you?
Oh, don't tell my family.
Okay, I won't. Instead, have dinner with me.
Then I'll keep my lips sealed.
It's not even such a big secret.
Just go ahead, and tell them then. The word must've spread anyway.
I'm asking you out on a date now.
This is so sudden. You didn't even give me a heads-up.
We call each other by name, so I wanted to get straight to the point.
How about dinner this evening?
It won't be a date. Let's just have some food together.
I should thank you for helping my family anyway.
It won't be an easy job.
That's okay.
Where shall we meet this evening?
Well, today won't work for me.
How about lunch on this Thursday?
It'll be on you though.
Okay, I'll call you after selecting a restaurant.
I'll select the place and call you.
Okay, sure. I'll be waiting for your call.
Come on. Please take it.
Do you dislike the color of my lipstick that much?
The color you're wearing now is okay,
but this will be perfect.
I picked out the perfect color for you.
I don't give things like this to everyone.
Right, so why are you giving me this?
- It's about Mr. Hong Suk. - Sorry?
What about him? He left a few minutes ago.
Exactly. Whenever he steps out,
please text me, and let me know where he went.
- That won't be too hard, right? - I guess I can do that.
By the way, why are you so interested in him?
It's strictly about work.
Anyway, I'll leave it in your hands, Manager Gong.
She's like a sly fox. Goodness.
Oh, my. This is from that famous global brand.
My gosh, this is a limited-edition.
It's very hard to get this.
I had no idea that Hong Suk was her type.
Okay.
You splashed water on me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
About Bu Sik...
Why would you have a meal with him if you're not interested?
Bu Sik?
Oh, Mr. Byun Bu Sik.
Well, how do you know him?
What's your relationship to him? Is he your brother?
He doesn't deserve to be mistreated by you.
I see. I guess the two of you are friends.
I don't appreciate what you just said though.
Why would I mistreat him?
And did I say that I'm not interested in him?
Then are you saying that you are interested in him?
How can you tell after meeting him just once?
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound right now?
How do you know if I've only met him once or I'll mistreat him?
Why are you jumping to your own conclusions?
Have you been stalking me or something?
You're talking as if I'm stealing your boyfriend.
Is Mr. Byun really worth all this trouble?
You're nothing special. Don't be such a show-off.
What did you just say?
Why did you eavesdrop?
I listened only because you obviously wanted me to hear it.
You're talking as if you did me a favor.
Why are you always so condescending to me?
Do you think you're that special?
This is just how I talk, okay?
- Are you trying to pick a fight... - That tone really irks me.
- What did you say? - I know that you're our client,
but we're not at the center now.
You don't even have a proper job.
Oh, is that what this was about?
Doing whatever I want with Mr. Byun when I'm only a part-timer?
Ms. Jung, I heard that you're not even a permanent employee here.
How is that relevant?
I can make this beauty center mine if I want to.
I can become the manager.
This beauty center is owned by Genius Group.
You even bluff like crazy.
I can invest my family's money in this place. It's simple, isn't it?
That's the biggest difference between us, okay?
Your family's money?
It's not even your money.
You're old enough to have some shame.
Being born into a family like that is a merit.
Doesn't it explain why Mr. Byun is so head over heels for me?
Head over heels,
my foot.
- Thank you for the tea. - You're welcome. Ms. Dong,
please come by often.
Please feel free to stop by whenever you feel like singing.
Yes, of course. I'll definitely do that.
- Well, get home safely, Ms. Kim. - Okay, all right.
- Bye. - Bye.
Take care.
Don't do it if you're not up for it. I won't force you.
Well, I'm not really up for it.
Well, if you say so.
- Haeng Ja. - What?
Hey. I told you to stay at the store.
The whole neighborhood is my office.
- Hang on. Who was she... - What are you talking about?
She's Eun Jo. Eun Jo.
My goodness. Are you Eun Jo?
Gosh. You look so pretty now.
You are blooming indeed.
Thank you.
Haeng Ja, I have something to tell you.
Okay.
I'll get going first.
- Don't feel too pressured. - Okay.
I can't force you to study.
Let's go. Come on.
- Have a nice day. - You too.
My gosh. She used to be like a boy. She has become so pretty.
Gosh. You brought your work all the way home.
This is where you get rest.
The place doesn't matter when it's urgent.
You don't like this either?
I want something with a lower chroma than that.
I guess this is the new product to launch this time.
The lipstick case looks lively. Good. I like it.
We have to place an order to the factory this week.
Maybe we should give up on the red color if it's not good enough.
Don't be ridiculous.
Red is the most prevalent color for the next spring-summer season.
You can see the real color only when you put it on the lips.
The color may look different depending on the skin color.
That's not right.
You learn the true meaning of life only when you taste it.
- Choong Seo. - You learn about women.
- Stop it. What? Gosh. - Yes!
Are you okay?
I'm not okay.
There's someone I fell in love with
- What's this song? - I'm telling you
- Was it a traditional song? - because I might get sick and die
- I told you it was impossible. - If I don't
If she can't sing, she can dance.
Why is she so greedy?
What's impossible is impossible.
We like each other, but we never tell each other
I'm so afraid we might drift apart if I tell you how I feel
Hey. The song is fun, but it's too difficult to sing.
Just give up.
No.
What if Ms. Dong wins?
She always shows off her pretty face. I can't let that happen.
Will Ms. Dong sing the same song?
Will she go for the audition as well?
I'm not sure. She didn't say it, but I can tell she's planning to do so.
She bragged about how well she sings all the time.
She won't miss a chance like this.
Is she good at singing?
She said she sings like Jo Su Mi, but I've never heard her sing.
Mom, do you want to be a model at the show that badly?
Yes, I do.
If Ms. Dong wins, I must win too.
If Ms. Dong fails, at least I must win.
What kind of logic is that?
She looks down on me all the time just because she went to college.
This is a chance to put her in her place.
Okay. Let's begin the special lesson.
- Mom, follow me. - Okay.
No, Mom. Make a heart shape with your fingers like this.
- Like this, okay? - Okay.
- 1, 2. Heart, heart. - 1, 2. Okay.
- Heart, heart, and shoot. - Heart.
- Heart. - Shoot.
Gosh, Mom. Can't you do that?
Can't you do this?
Like this. Can't you dance like this?
I'm doing it right. Like this.
Two sticks are swaying.
Just like a gas hose hanging from the ceiling at a gas station.
A new business? Me?
There's a rumor that you're planning on that.
What? Who told you such a ridiculous thing?
Hang on. Gosh. That woman, Ms. Oh, has such a big mouth.
I bet she told someone about it.
- Right? - It's not like that.
It's because of your blind date.
I thought they might think badly of you because I run a pawnshop.
So I said I was thinking of starting a new business.
Is that true?
Then explain this.
It was on the floor in the storage.
I read it. It's about investing in Genius Beauty Center.
Oh, this?
I brought this out of anger because the lady...
at the beauty center looked down on me.
Are you telling the truth?
Hey. You shouldn't bite off more than you can chew.
If you do, you would get a stomach ache and die.
But I'm interested in this business.
It looks fun.
Just focus on what you're doing now.
And get an appraiser license or whatever it's called.
This isn't so different from appraisal.
I'm better at this kind of job.
Is that right?
They will hold a makeup show...
Well, it means...
that they will put on makeup...
Are you talking about the show and the model selection?
How do you know that? You're interested after all.
They put up the posters everywhere. How could I not know?
I planned that makeup show.
Stop with your nonsense already.
Why would a large company like that spend a fortune following your idea?
Well... It's a long story.
I didn't know it would lead to such a big event like this.
Anyway, I've been enjoying work lately.
That's why you never stayed at home or the store.
I told you to stay at the store.
I'm juggling between the two jobs well.
And I'm learning about the beauty business and get paid. Is it a loss?
Is it that fun to do?
I've never been this excited while working.
That beauty work or whatever really makes you that excited?
It's hard to work with him,
but I'm learning a lot while following him around.
So you should change the business type. Okay?
A beauty business is better than running a pawnshop.
I'm not sure about that.
Hi. You're home early.
I should prepare dinner.
I have to go out again.
Is he doing all the work in the whole world alone or what?
Son. Son, take a look at this.
What about this car?
A regular customer at the hair salon has a grandson...
who works here as a salesperson.
So what?
You often work late at night, so you need a car.
I mean, you're a lawyer.
Look. If you pay in 60 installments, it doesn't cost you that much.
What do you think of this one?
It'd be better if you spent a little more money to get a midsize car.
Large cars are safer. So you should get a nice sedan...
Mother!
I've given up on designer handbags.
A car would be better than them. It's practical.
Practical? We can't afford a car.
Why can't we?
I have a job, and you're a lawyer.
Even so, I get a monthly salary, and we have a large debt to pay off.
I'm sure we'll pay it off soon.
Not all paychecks are equal.
After paying the interest, I can barely pay the rent.
Then we barely manage to eke out a living with your salary.
This is our financial situation.
But still, it doesn't look good to see a lawyer riding a bus.
I'm lucky enough to not walk.
This is reality.
I get it. Stop saying that.
Don't sign a contract thoughtlessly. We can't even afford a used car.
You haven't signed a contract, have you?
Do you think I'm stupid? I didn't do that. I swear.
You swear? I'll trust you, okay?
I don't understand anything.
Why would they use such difficult words?
Right.
Changing the business type.
It's not easy at all.
Come in.
- I'm home. - You're late.
Hey. Come in for a second.
Why? Do you have something to say to me?
Well...
You hate that I run a pawnshop...
and lend money to other people either, right?
Right. Of course you do. People don't respect this job.
You asked so suddenly.
Why? Did Eun Jo say something?
What? Eun Jo? She's been so nice to me.
She's so nice to me that she even scares me.
You must be tired. Go, and get some sleep.
Wait. Shall I fix you something to eat?
No. I'll just go to sleep.
Good. Sleep is the best medicine.
I want you to do an easier work.
- I'll go to bed. - Goodnight.
He doesn't like what I do after all.
In fact, there's no easy job in this world.
My precious babies.
This and...
Suk said he will work late at the beauty center tonight.
My class has been canceled? I have one student in my class!
You told me to come on Sunday,
but you didn't show up and called me to say it's been canceled.
What should I do for the next three months until the next semester?
Do you want me suck on my thumb?
Gosh. Seriously.
For goodness' sake.
When did you get here?
I sure have a good eye.
That dress looks amazing on you.
Did you get fired again?
No, I didn't get fired. I've just decided to take a short hiatus.
Even frogs contract their muscles and lean back to jump far.
Hasn't that frog forgotten how to jump?
Watch it. How dare you say such a thing to your dad?
Then what am I supposed to say in this situation?
Are you becoming like your mom or what?
Don't learn those things from her.
I'm becoming like you.
You don't care about anyone else. You're always so self-centered.
You only care about your mood and whatever situation you're in.
You always put your needs first.
You're irresponsible,
and you'd never make any sacrifices.
In Woo, what's the matter with you today?
This is so unlike you.
Someone told me...
that being born into a rich family is a merit itself.
She never worries about what other people think,
and no one says anything to her even though she's always so rude.
She also treats what's so precious to me as if it's nothing important.
I can live like that too.
No, I want to live like that.
I obviously want to give you guys that kind of life. I'm a dad too.
Everyone has their own pace.
Do you think I'll live like this for the rest of my life?
- Life is... - I don't want to hear that spiel.
It's an invitation.
The company I work for made it...
so that you can come and see where I work and what I do.
I came to give you this.
But Dad.
I don't want you to come.
You don't deserve to be there.
Why don't I deserve it?
What have you ever done for me?
What have you done for Mom and us in all these years?
Then why are you giving this to me?
I'm regretting it now.
I was already so upset.
She upset me even more. Goodness.
What brings you here at this hour?
I can't let you do the special part-time gig alone.
Let's share the overtime pay.
How did you know that I'd be working here?
I have my ways.
Let's go in.
Did Aunt tell her? That can't be.
- Why are you standing there? - Oh, I'm coming.
I signed the contract and sent it to them, so I can't even say anything.
Bu Sik said that we can't even afford a used car,
but I bought a brand-new car. A midsize sedan.
Gosh, what should I do now?
All right, fine. I'll get selected as the model and win the prizes.
Then I'll sell them all to make the first payment.
All will be fine then. I mean, what can he do?
- What are you doing here? - I was just cleaning.
You must be hungry. I should go fix dinner for you.
Thank you for your hard work.
This is...
Just accept it. I paid the previous lawyer per case too.
Nothing is free in life, you know.
Right, nothing comes free of charge.
You should eat first. Why are you working so hard?
Will you work part-time for the rest of your life or what?
Go ahead, and eat if you're hungry.
You deserve an award.
I'll definitely hire you if I ever open a store.
Are you planning on it?
I was just giving you an example.
But who knows? We don't even know what tomorrow will bring.
When it comes to lipsticks, you must try them on.
The actual color can be very different from what you see.
Everyone's skin tone and lip color are different.
Shall we compare?
Pick your favorite color.
- This. - This one?
- Sorry? - Put it on.
The color will look different on you.
What are you waiting for? Come on.
It's the least you can do to keep working on a part-time job. Go on.
See? It's looks different.
But whose skin tone becomes the standard in cases like this?
There's a standard skin tone...
for each age group and race.
Even similar shades are categorized by brightness and chroma levels.
What?
Well, nothing. I think you sound overqualified for a part-time gig.
- What's the matter? - Eating lipstick teaches you life.
What... What did you just say?
I mean, that's how you learn about women.
I heard someone saying it.
Gosh, I was just kidding.
Come on. You can't even tell whether it was a joke or not?
You're so naughty!
Director Goo.
What is going on right now?
You can ask him.
Gosh, I was just testing the sample. Nothing happened.
Why am I even explaining this to you?
I just told her the joke that Uncle made, and she got all angry.
What's wrong with women? You got all riled up like that last time too.
I'm speechless.
Are you really the Suk Pyo I know?
Yes. Why are you here anyway?
Oh, right. Let's go in first.
My gosh.
- Did you bring food? - What?
Well, it's...
It's rice.
He's quite sexy.
I almost kissed him...
My gosh, what am I thinking? I must be going crazy.
I should head home. Let's calm down and go home.
I believe that everyone gets one big opportunity in life,
but today was so stressful.
I got fired, and my daughter completely disrespected me.
Hello, I'd like one bowl of noodles.
- Sure. - Thank you.
Hello, sir.
Sorry? Do I know you?
Oh, I was wondering who you are.
Do you remember me?
Of course. You're my only student.
It's so nice to run into you here.
Did you come here alone?
Yes. I'm quite hungry, so I came here for a bowl of noodles.
Please join me. I came alone too.
- I wanted to have a drink. - Well... Sure. Thank you.
By the way,
it's still pretty early in the evening. Why are you drinking alone?
This is my third and last glass.
I guess you're a lightweight.
I can drink until this cart bar shuts down if I want to,
but why do we call ourselves human?
The ability to control our urges and knowing when to stop...
are what makes us human, don't you think?
Oh, that's right.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
Please dig in. It's on me.
Sorry? Gosh, don't do that.
You're the only person who believed in me and enrolled in my class.
This is nothing.
The class is pretty empty, isn't it?
I like the fact that it's a small class though.
- That's why I'm impressed by you. - Pardon me?
Everyone else wants to take singing and dance classes,
but you thought you needed some time to reflect on yourself.
I bet that's why you enrolled in my class.
Aren't I right?
Reflect on myself... Yes, that's right.
I feel the same way.
I feel quite old now, and I've worked so hard all my life.
But looking back, everything was futile, and I feel so lonely.
I wonder what I've been doing all my life.
Totally. How do you know exactly how I feel?
Having your family around is of no use.
None of them even know how lonely you feel,
and they're just busy with their own lives.
Life is so meaningless.
Even so, we can't just waste our time since we only live once.
So I would like to tell you...
about the joy of life step by step.
But what a shame.
Why? You can explain to me step by step.
Actually, my class has been canceled due to the lack of interest.
Pardon me?
They'll probably contact you soon.
Whatever. I'm going to have another drink.
Would you like a glass?
Excuse me. Can we get one more glass?
Hang on. Are you saying that I can't take your class?
They're beautiful.
Your hands show the sanctity of labor.
You shouldn't be embarrassed. You have beautiful hands.
You call this beautiful?
It was just a while, but my heart fluttered.
But even that's over now.
I'm too old for this. I don't even know anything about him.
(Vocational Training Institute)
- Where are you going today? - To the store at Myeong-dong.
Mr. Rock too?
Yes.
Suk will go to...
Today...
You didn't forget today's lunch, right?
Have you picked a place yet?
Mr. Byun.
I shouldn't have made a promise.
You are going to be ripped off a lot.
Suk will go to the store at Myeong-dong today.
Great.
If I show up unexpectedly, In Woo will get angry at me again.
Gosh. I'm walking on eggshells around my daughters at my age.
Seriously.
But still, In Jung scares me.
I didn't know there was a place like this here.
What on earth is this place?
Are you going to
Leave me
- After breaking my heart - Yes!
- So much - Yes!
Are you... Oh, no. Gosh. My goodness.
I'm sorry. I didn't know you came in.
Well...
- Hello. - Welcome.
Please sit wherever you want.
I didn't know there was such a place like this here.
- This is your first time here. - That's right.
I hope to see you often from now on.
Well, I just want to live here.
Gosh. You're so funny.
How dare you take my money?
Hey! I'm Kim Haeng Ja. Kim Haeng Ja at Geumdong Market!
Goodness. Hello, Mr. Jung.
My only student, Ms. Kim.
What are you doing here?
I didn't expect to see you again like this.
(Hate to Love You)
- Haeng Ja, good luck. - I won't do that.
We'll begin the audition for the model for beauty makeup show.
If things don't go well, just let yourself go.
Feel free to do whatever you prepared.
Spare some time this Sunday. I'll do whatever I want from now on.
- Where are you taking me? - It's a present for you.
You won't be disappointed.
Excuse me. Can I try this on?
Of course. Please take your time to look around.
What are you doing now?
This man was trying to steal my purse and run away.
