In front of you...
is a person who'll die if he doesn't get an injection.
It's someone you want dead.
(Episode 35)
(Audition for "Female Detective X")
Start.
Director,
this wasn't part of the script!
When the lead role investigates the case,
she must figure out the suspect's mind. That's why we're asking.
Is that...
why...
the two of you...
killed my Eun Jo?
I had no choice.
Eun Jo has Sun Hyuk's child.
If she has his child,
I can never dream of winning Sun Hyuk.
Still,
you killed off Eun Jo?
No.
I was just trying to get rid of the baby. Just the baby!
I had no choice.
I was just trying to destroy the evidence. Just the evidence!
What choice do I have when he found out what I did?
Shouldn't he be dead?
Rather, ask me to save your life.
Beg for your life!
Ha Ra recalled my father's death when she acted.
How could she do that?
How?
Ga Heun, as you said,
Ha Ra is terrifying when she's concentrated on acting.
Oh Ha Ra.
I'll make Ha Ra sink into the role...
and drive herself crazy.
That's why I plan to accept Geum Eun Hwa's investment.
To prevent Ha Ra from giving up on the role,
we put a safety catch.
Ha Ra is confirmed to play the lead role?
Yes.
Director Choi liked her improv very much.
I also have high expectations for her.
Oh, my. Thank you for your kind remarks.
Ha Ra will pull it off nicely.
Then, may we proceed...
with the joint investment?
Sure.
We'll discuss the details in person.
Okay. Well, then.
My goodness.
It's all working out with lightning speed.
She said she'll win it with her abilities.
How well did she act in front of them?
I thought I almost forgot.
I tried never to recall that memory.
I had to recall Mr. Ko's last moment...
because of Ga Heun.
Please...
Ha Ra! Hey!
No, I'm all right.
The emotions from the audition still linger.
Every time you do this, I worry about you.
It's good that you got into the character,
but what if it hurts your mind?
Take it easy on acting.
How could I take it easy?
You don't know.
You can truly act only when you're completely immersed in the role.
President Hwang just called.
You're confirmed to play the lead role.
She said Director Choi especially liked it.
Are you serious?
Yes.
She also accepted my offer of joint investment.
So, you can have as much influence as President Hwang?
You bet.
I'll be funding half of the production cost.
No one can treat you badly there.
Why? Are you worried about Ga Heun?
She's in charge of the costumes.
She'll interfere with every matter while we film the movie.
It's not like you never expected it.
During the shoot, be careful not to argue with her.
She'll be acting up with her mother on her back.
How could I not?
Ha Ra will play the lead role of President Hwang's film?
That's right.
It'll be made by Director Choi who helped Ha Ra make the debut.
He even won several Best Picture Awards in international film festivals.
Ha Ra was chosen proudly after the audition.
That's good news,
but people are still talking about what she recently did.
Isn't it too soon?
It's never too soon.
It'll take at least a year until it premieres...
if they start shooting now.
Rather than extending her inactive period,
the anti-fans will change their minds if they see how good she is.
It'll be fortunate if that happens.
I offered to make a joint investment in the film,
and I think it'll come through.
Joint investment?
You can't do that.
Imagine people found out Jewang invested in a film that Ha Ra's in.
They'll say...
we bought off the role, not because of her talent.
Also, we should give our undivided attention to the new brand.
Fine.
If I can't use the company money, I'll have to spend my secret funds.
(Letter of Resignation)
Mrs. Bae.
I think it's right for me to quit...
since Ha Ra made that fuss.
Just wait.
Bo Mi went to talk to her.
She'll try to calm her down.
Hi, Sun Hyuk!
What's the call about?
Is that my son?
What?
You want to have lunch with me?
Go ahead.
Bo Mi must have told him already.
What brings you here, Bo Mi?
What brought me here? Do you seriously don't know?
Apologize to our moms this instant.
Why would I?
She's the one who should apologize.
You really have no manners, do you?
So, would you be satisfied only if Mrs. Bae is fired?
If she's got no place to work,
tell her I'll find her a job.
Are you really Eun Jo's best friend, Ha Ra?
You were the closest to her among the four of us, to be honest.
I'm telling you this now,
but I used to be jealous of how close you two were.
How could friendship change just because Eun Jo died?
Manager Kang, how did it go?
Mrs. Oh, we're looking for a make-up artist.
But, no one is willing to do it because of your controversy.
Are you blaming me for not finding a stylist?
Find one until the shoot no matter what!
Bo Mi, you were in charge of the actress, Lee Soo Jung's make-up, right?
Yes. What about that?
I'm in a movie this time.
Be my make-up artist.
What? Are you ordering me?
I will never work for you.
Everyone knows about you in this line of work.
You power-trip and fire people. Who would ever work for you?
I won't fire her if you become my make-up artist.
That's ridiculous.
You promise?
Don't change your mind.
I'll call you when it's scheduled. You can go.
Okay.
Then, I'll believe you won't fire her.
It's better this way.
Now that I stepped back, it'll cool Sun Hyuk off a little.
I was going to treat you.
I ended up causing you trouble.
It's okay.
I know better how busy you are.
To be honest, I ran all the way down here...
because I was so excited you asked me to have a meal with you.
I made your favorites as well.
Mrs. Bae,
Ha Ra gave you a hard time, didn't she?
I understand how she feels.
However close we are, you almost married Eun Jo.
She must've been surprised and uncomfortable.
Right. I talked to Bo Mi on the way here.
She said Ha Ra agreed.
She won't fire me. Don't worry.
I'm sorry.
I should've taken care of you better.
I thought I'd miss Eun Jo more...
if I see you and Eun Gyul.
That's why I didn't visit you.
Don't say that.
I do understand.
This is a secret...
that might get your mother mad,
but I still...
think of you as my son-in-law.
Why are you crying?
You're making me cry too.
Chief Hwang, why are you just standing there?
You had company.
It was true!
Eun Gyul said she was like Eun Jo.
She looks just like my Eun Jo!
I get that a lot.
Eun Jo?
How?
How can they be so much alike?
Who is Eun Jo?
Who was that woman to seem sad looking at Chief Hwang?
Ha Jun!
You haven't had lunch yet, right?
I made a box lunch this morning to eat with you.
Hey, don't unpack.
Chief Hwang will take us wrong if we eat together.
Then, let her.
You made it yourself?
At a glance, I can tell it's made by a chef in Jewang Hotel.
I meant I picked it up from the hotel early in the morning.
- Open your mouth. - Stop. I don't want to eat.
You're so mean.
I always dreamed of eating a box lunch with someone when I become successful.
That was your dream?
When I was little,
I used to eat frozen gimbap in the truck where my dad sold clothes.
Naturally, I dreamt of this.
All right. Give me one.
Here. Open your mouth.
Se Rin, do you happen to know...
who Eun Jo is?
How do you know her?
Just now,
some lady in Manager Cha's office called Chief Hwang Eun Jo.
She held her hand as if she was her lost family.
Some lady?
Is she Eun Jo's mother?
How do you know her, then?
Eun Jo...
used to be friends with me and Ha Ra.
Really?
Why was she in Manager Cha's office?
She might still think of him as her son-in-law.
"Son-in-law"?
Manager Cha was going to marry Eun Jo who's dead.
What? Marry her?
The angel-like girlfriend Sun Hyuk was to marry looks...
like Chief Hwang?
Ha Jun, let's drop this here.
When shall we get engaged?
Father seems to want us to get married right after the launching competition.
We should get engaged around next month, right?
Dad wants me to get engaged to you?
Se Rin, stop coming here.
Don't make me a pathetic lunch like this.
I won't get engaged to you nor marry you.
Who said I would?
Ha Jun!
Mom.
You should come here more often and look around the company...
just like today.
A retired president visiting her company often is frowned upon.
Let me see the plan Ha Jun wrote.
Okay.
Here it is.
Is this...
really written by Ha Jun?
Yes.
The employees love his reform plan for employee benefits.
We improved the menu at the cafeteria and put massage chairs in the break rooms.
Also, flexible working hours made the workload manageable.
Manager Cha also said he came up with a good plan for the competition.
Is that true?
Of course.
He's never been this reliable...
ever since he entered the school for the gifted.
I've never seen you compliment him since then too.
So, I was thinking of leaving the project next year...
to Ha Jun as well.
Look at you.
You were ready to exploit your son.
You know...
it's all thanks to Chief Hwang, right?
I should make it clear before he's convinced by the sly wench.
I sure know it's thanks to her.
But...
I think...
we're getting ahead of us by matching them.
Who said I want to get engaged?
I didn't know Grandma was here.
That's good.
I'll make myself clear to you too.
I will never get engaged to Se Rin.
If you force it against my will,
I will quit.
You rascal.
How can you say that so easily?
Don't take my marriage lightly either.
Se Rin is not the one.
How about Ga Heun?
What?
Why do you mention her all of a sudden?
We're just partners.
I made myself clear.
Grandma, please.
Did you see that?
He said "We."
He said he doesn't like Se Rin at all.
He was very clear about it.
Do you want to force them to get engaged and see him quit again?
You want him to take care of a project next year.
I hope I didn't offend your colleague earlier.
She resembled Eun Jo so much, so I was happy to see her.
Don't worry about it.
Chief Hwang has a warm heart.
What?
She not only looks like Eun Jo,
but also has a warm heart like her?
How is that possible?
How can she just like Eun Jo inside and out?
I can't believe it.
I took too much of your time.
See me off here.
I'll get you a cab. Let's go.
Ms. Hwang?
Do you know what this is?
This is the box lunch Ha Jun and I ate.
We had a date during lunch.
I see.
You have so much free time with the first competition around the corner.
I just have time to eat.
I guess your preparations are going well.
Dongdaemun Queen, I want to buy your designs.
How much will they cost?
I'm thinking of collaborating with designers in Dongdaemun.
I've seen their designs, and they were pretty good.
Chief Hwang, you were here.
Aren't you coming to the meeting?
I'm coming.
Designers in Dongdaemun?
(Dongdaemun Designer's Design Portfolio)
My soul?
Is she a lunatic or what?
She's a real genius!
How can she come up with such a design?
This is perfect.
Ga Heun received this design too?
That's why she said no.
(Dongdaemun Designer's Design Portfolio)
Ms. Baek,
it seems like someone sneaked in here to take a peep into our files.
Put a smart lock on our office door.
What? Okay.
These are the designs that made it to the finals...
and lost in the last five years.
What do you think, Chief Hwang?
They could fit into the current trend even if we release them now.
Is that what you think too?
But I wonder why they didn't win last time.
It was probably because of Miss Ju Collection.
Working with Ms. Ju,
Vice President Geum probably put pressure on them to make a biased judgment.
No wonder.
That's why she was desperately stopping me from reading Miss Ju Collection's reports.
I'll have these designs improved to be submitted for the show.
Like a consolation match?
In a sense.
Then, how about we try it now?
It'd be like a test to see how much we think alike.
Sure.
Then, pick one on the count of three.
One, two, three!
We really are on the same page.
Chief Hwang, you said you were too busy for a boyfriend last time.
Wouldn't dating at the workplace perfect for you?
So, you want to go out with me?
You don't have to be so straightforward. You're embarrassing me.
Director Oh, don't get feelings for me.
I don't trust men.
Whether I get feelings or not, don't try to stop me from that.
I can't control it myself.
And have you been betrayed by a man or what?
Yes, I have been.
I was just asking, but it was for real.
You haven't gone home yet.
I had a meeting with Director Oh.
Well, then.
- You see... - You see...
You go first.
The person I saw at your office earlier in the day.
She seemed to be the mother of your deceased first love.
Why do you still treat her as your mother-in-law?
Well, that's...
But why do you want to know?
You know what?
Treating everyone nicely isn't always a good thing.
What do you mean?
You might give her the wrong idea.
You're making her believe that you haven't forgotten about her dead daughter.
"Wrong idea"?
I don't know why I have to explain myself to you about this,
but that's who I am.
I'm not giving her the wrong idea.
I will never forget that woman.
I'm going to go.
Sun Hyuk,
why are you confusing my mom?
Hoon, you are a great artist.
Do you want to be an artist when you grow up?
Yes. I love drawing.
It's you, your dad, and me going on a picnic.
Where is this?
It's a camping site.
Mom, we're going camping at kindergarten.
All my friends are going with their parents.
Mom, can you come this time?
Is that so?
You can't come this time either?
No, I'll be there for sure this time.
I'll spend lots of time with you before my movie shoot starts.
Were you sad when I couldn't come in the past?
You promised to come.
I was sad because you didn't.
Mom, you have to keep your promise this time.
I'll definitely come this time.
I promise.
It's a promise.
I just promised Hoon to go camping at his kindergarten.
The parents are supposed to come too. You're coming, right?
Yes, I'll come.
I'm sorry about Mrs. Bae.
It might sound like an excuse,
but I've gotten sensitive over Ga Heun, and I think I put that out on Mrs. Bae.
Mrs. Bae will continue to work.
I've heard.
You have?
Then, can you put on a happy face?
I'm starting with the shoot soon,
but I won't be able to focus if you stay angry.
Movie?
I was chosen as the main role for the movie President Hwang is producing.
I know what you're worried about.
I'll do my best not to neglect Hoon.
Honey, you're the one who made me dream of being a movie star.
I can only do well with your support.
What else can I say when you've already decided without consulting me?
But, make sure to keep your promise to go camping with Hoon.
Are you collaborating with Hwang Ga Heun from Jewang Fashion?
How did you find that out?
Are you prying into my life?
Don't be ridiculous. She can't be any more arrogant.
Be patient.
What do you mean? I only found out as you're so popular.
Yes, you're right. Hwang Ga Heun also contacted me as I'm that great.
That woman was different from you who's a fool.
She's meeting all the conditions I want.
I'm going to sign a contract with Ga Heun.
You can't. Not Ga Heun.
I don't know what conditions she proposed,
but I can meet the same conditions.
The same conditions won't do.
Ga Heun wants to collaborate with my design,
and you just want to steal my entire design.
What do I do?
Then, how about twice the price?
Or triple?
I told you to offer your soul. Make your choice wisely.
This is your last chance.
She's at it with the soul again.
If I could, I'd have sold it already.
Fine. I'll sell you my soul.
I'll do anything you tell me.
Nice!
Send me the deposit first.
What is this? It was about money in the end.
How much?
One hundred thousand dollars?
Don't be surprised.
Here are your 100,000 dollars.
Dad doesn't know, right?
It must be really urgent for you to ask me directly without telling Mr. Ju.
I did sneak it out without anyone finding out,
but I'm dead to Mr. Ju if he finds out.
And Mr. Ju will be dead to Jewang Fashion's vice president.
Stop saying someone will die.
I'll put it back right away.
And how would the vice president know how much money there is in the basement?
You don't have a clue.
Vice President Geum has Mr. Kim...
check all the boxes inside-out at the end of every month.
Really? That's unbelievable.
Anyway, I risked my life for this,
so just put it back before I end up dead.
But, you'd better not get caught before the end of the month.
For now, try to fool them with this.
Se Rin, you're quite sensible.
We're the perfect couple, after all.
Did you prepare the two million dollars Se Rin lost last time?
Why is she pinning the blame on Se Rin?
Two million dollars isn't just any money.
I'll have it ready by next week.
What have you been doing all this time?
I need to use a large sum of money soon, so have them ready right away.
You're nagging me like some sort of creditor.
Vice President...
Look at her manners.
Just wait until I earn a large sum.
I'll fill the basement with my own money instead of Jewang's.
Right. Dr. Choi mentioned this hazing for the investment group.
We have a unique way of hazing the new members.
It won't be easy with your age.
Do you think you can handle it?
I wonder how much they're planning to make me drink to bring up my age.
I'm a living legend when it comes to drinking and partying.
You and I both go through life
You and I both live in the same world
- Roast and fry - Mr. Ju, you could be a singer.
Hey, Mr. Na.
Don't tell me you're stealing.
Not at all.
You've got a singer's voice.
Drink this.
Keep good watch of the money.
If there's even a single bill missing, you and I are both dead.
But, where will the hazing for the investment group take place?
I don't know either.
But, you see, the group is so secretive...
that even the members don't know each other.
They call each other by aliases.
Dr. Cho is "Dr. Psycho."
An alias?
What about you? Did you pick one?
Naturally, I'll be...
Dongdaemun White Pants.
You and I both go through life
It's the money Ju Se Rin transferred in.
Good work.
Pass it along to Deok Gyu.
Yes, ma'am.
Eun Gyul, hang in there.
I'll get back everything Dad left us.
The hazing ritual for Madam Black's new member will begin now.
Let the members enter.
The undefeated living legend and the president of Seocho-dong law firm,
James Kang.
The Golden Finger, Mr. Kim.
The Night Queen, Linda Oh.
Mach Seven and Typhoon are here.
Hello.
Lastly, the head of our group,
Madam Black.
The hazing ritual is a rite of passage to get the legendary golden egg.
Get on your knees.
On my knees?
You see, do you have to take it that far?
Begin.
Hold on!
Wait, please!
Stop, please!
Just stop for a moment!
I can't do this!
Wait, please!
(Miss Monte-Cristo)
I risked everything to destroy it.
There's a special condition.
Sun Hyuk still has Eun Jo's dress as he hasn't gotten over her.
I like Chief Hwang. She said she was betrayed by a man.
Ha Jun, do you have feelings for Chief Hwang?
I heard that your angel-like girlfriend looks like Chief Hwang.
Ha Jun, I've never forgotten your mother even for a moment.
What? He's never forgotten about Na Yeon?
Eun Gyul, why are you here? Are you waiting for someone?
Sun Hyuk, Eun Jo is back.
Marry her again.
What are you talking about?
It's Eun Jo.
