(Episode 36)
Please spare me.
Congratulations.
You've officially become a member of Madam Salon.
Really?
Oh, gosh. Thank you, ma'am.
Dongdaemun White Pants is officially a member of Madam Salon starting today.
Don't try to get rich by bullying your tenants.
I can make you even richer.
Is that true?
Thank you.
Don't touch me.
Oh, the smell.
Mr. Na, I almost got killed.
I found out today that eggs could hurt this much.
I don't know why, but they were throwing the eggs at me with all their might.
Look at this.
You're lucky it wasn't a club.
We get sent to the hospital at our gang's hazing ritual.
Don't compare it to that.
You know, I don't know who the members are,
but they all looked famous.
They were covered in designer labels looking all luxurious.
Only the clothes could worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Why would those people make a fuss at the hazing ritual?
It was a hazing ritual that can lay golden eggs.
Come here.
Madam Black said she'll double my money.
Double?
So, how much are you going to invest?
I'm not sure. To make two million dollars for Vice President Geum,
shouldn't I at least bet a million dollars?
Where would you find that money?
You invested all your money into the lands that became a green belt.
I'll have to take some from Vice President Geum's funds.
I have to pay off two million dollars that I haven't spent.
She can at least give me that loan.
A loan?
The father and daughter are both stealing from others.
Did you all see him begging for his life?
"It hurts. I'm dying. Please spare me."
I wanted to throw rocks at him instead of eggs if I could.
I froze my eggs.
He's going to be sore for a while.
- Great job! - Well done.
Deok Gyu, thanks to you, a huge weight has been lifted off.
By the way,
who is Madam Black to help us?
You'll be surprised when you find out who she is.
Who would it be?
Who is it?
You can't be satisfied with today.
This has only begun.
But, will Tae Sik invest his money?
Would he bet that much money when he's so stingy?
It gets important from now on.
Our final goal is to make him bet all of his money.
He doesn't have the guts to do that.
We'll make him.
- We make him? - Fine. Let's try it.
Yes, I'm going to make that happen.
I'll win back Koeun Shopping Center and give it back to you.
I'll keep the promise my father made to you.
Here's Oh Ha Ra's appearance contract.
Please review it.
You were generous with the fee. What else is there to review?
There's a special condition.
A special condition?
I've added the term that she must respect the writer's artistic opinion,
and that she must accept it when the story changes along the way.
Oh, I see.
So, it's a special condition for the writer, not the director.
But, who is the writer?
It's my daughter, Hwang Ga Heun.
You'll find that out soon enough.
All right, then.
Ha Ra already told me that the ending hadn't been decided yet.
Right. Have you considered our joint investment in the film?
You were quite interested in film-making,
and you're establishing Jewang Entertainment later?
You have a quick ear, indeed.
They say the Korean audience has the best standards in the world.
Let's produce a good film that will satisfy the audience.
President Hwang, thank you.
Right. Please inform Mrs. Oh that she can consult my daughter...
for the detailed schedules of the movie.
Okay.
I'll do that.
It's your appearance contract for the movie.
We used a standard contract form, so it's not that different.
There's a special condition, though.
The scenario may be revised according to the circumstances.
Will you be able to accept it?
Of course, I'll have to.
Director Choi often starts filming movies without a fixed ending.
I have complete trust in him.
Good. That's good for you.
Also, she told you to consult Ga Heun...
for the detailed progress.
You can also talk about the theme of your costumes.
I'm already tired thinking I have to run into her again.
Why did it have to be her?
Come on, now.
Now that you're at work, try to communicate with her.
Whether you like it or not, you're in the same boat with her.
To go on until the ending without any discord,
you cannot show your dissatisfaction in front of her. Okay?
You're a good actress.
I lose all my energy just by getting into character.
Do I have to waste my energy because of her too?
I ignored Ha Ra and stuck to my friendship with Soon Jung,
but I'm not sure if it's okay.
You feel better after seeing Sun Hyuk, don't you?
Yes. Sun Hyuk is the number one son-in-law in Korea.
He's handsome, competent, and warm-hearted.
You're so fortunate, Mrs. Yoon.
Everyone in this world knows how kind he is.
The problem is that he's too nice.
You're not that unfortunate yourself.
Sun Hyuk found out Ha Ra mistreated you, and he came to comfort you.
And Bo Mi ran straight to Ha Ra.
My son and daughter are acting as Soon Jung's in-laws...
for the sake of the late Eun Jo.
Oh, right. I ran into Hwang Ga Heun in Sun Hyuk's office.
The one who supposedly resembles Eun Jo?
Yes! She looked like Eun Jo so much.
It felt like Eun Jo and Sun Hyuk were a married couple...
- who work together for a living. - Soon Jung!
Married?
Ha Ra is Sun Hyuk's wife.
I'm sorry.
It's just that she resembles Eun Jo so much that it slipped my mind.
- You saw her too? - Yes.
She's just like Eun Jo, isn't she?
She's not Eun Jo. She's President Hwang's daughter.
She's not Eun Jo. She's Ga Heun.
They don't look alike at all.
You were crying and yelling that they looked alike.
No. The eyes, nose, and mouth all don't look like Eun Jo's.
Sun Hyuk must be reminded of Eun Jo every time he bumps into her at work.
He must be hurting so badly.
It'll be disturbing, but he'll get better.
Though they look alike, she's not Eun Jo.
He still has the wedding suit because he still hasn't let go of Eun Jo.
The one Eun Jo made?
What? The wedding suit?
He still has that suit?
I mean, he told me not to throw away...
any of Eun Jo's memories when he married Ha Ra.
He still hasn't thrown it out?
It's been years since Eun Jo passed away. He still hasn't let go of her?
How could he forget? He loved her so much.
Hey!
Throw it out now before Ha Ra finds out.
Also, don't take this personally when I say this.
Eun Jo has left us.
We shouldn't cling to her so that she can rest in peace.
- I have to throw it away now. - Mom!
Sun Hyuk has to be the one to throw it out.
Let's consider his feelings.
What if Ha Ra finds out? She'll come at him like a crazy wildcat!
Fine. I'll throw it out.
Good Lord.
Ha Ra called and said she'll sign the contract.
She hasn't said much about the special condition you added.
That's good.
She is too excited about the movie...
that she has no idea what they mean for her.
Mrs. Oh is here.
Okay.
Have a seat.
You must've been on a call with President Hwang.
She told me to discuss the details with you in the future.
You must be busy with the work here. Would you have time to work on the movie?
I put my life on the line for this move, but you can't say the same.
I also risked everything to destroy you.
You are a wife and the mother of a child.
You don't mean you are risking that as well, do you?
You show way too much interest in my private life.
For someone playing eight personalities,
you understand that my outfit will be essential, right?
You should take my suggestions when you brainstorm outfits for the movie.
If they are consistent with my opinion, then I'll do that.
I also have something to say.
To make outfits that are proper for the role,
I must analyze and study the personality of the actor who is playing the role.
Analyze? Study?
I must know what sort of an actress you are...
to make outfits that will make the character more interesting.
So, be honest with me. Don't try to fake it or lie to me.
Our kindergarten is going on a camping trip.
We are going with our parents.
Since you have a family to take care of,
we will let you adjust your schedule whenever you want.
So, are you saying you want to know everything about my private life?
Also, I don't need you to do that for me.
Don't try to be considerate. Just do your job right.
Also,
I know you tried to act like you are in control with the syringe and all.
But, stop crossing the line.
Sun Hyuk should be the one who throws this out.
I can't dare throw this out myself.
Cha Bo Mi.
What brought you here?
Ha Ra, what are you doing here?
This is the Jewang Group building.
It isn't weird that I'm here.
What are you doing here, then?
Are you here to see Sun Hyuk?
I'm...
That's right. I'm here to see him.
It's been a while since I last saw him.
I just stopped by on my way to someplace nearby.
Is that so?
Are you going to see Sun Hyuk too?
Mind your own business.
Oh, right. The art team for the movie will have to start working soon.
Wait for the news.
Okay.
That was nerve-racking.
But did she say, "Wait for the news?"
How dare she treat me like that?
I don't want to be her servant like Se Rin.
I'm so stressed!
This is stressful too.
I should just put it here and leave.
Sun Hyuk, I'm here. Are you alone?
What brought you here?
Come in.
I wanted to give this to you.
Mom found out you didn't throw out the wedding suit that Eun Jo made.
She really wanted to throw it out.
But I stopped her and brought it here.
I see.
Now that mom already knows about it,
I don't think you should still leave it at our place.
I got it. I'll take care of it.
Oh, right. I heard that Hwang Ga Heun works here.
How do you know about her?
We do indeed have a real sibling relationship.
We know so little about what's happening in each other's life.
Eun Gyul and I are working together at the Hwaipeu Fund store.
I saw Ms. Hwang there.
Did Eun Gyul see her too, then?
He did. He kept on saying she's Eun Jo for days.
It must be really hard for Eun Gyul. It's hard even for me.
Are you okay with it?
Yes, I'm fine.
I'm glad.
Anyway, don't get so upset about what Mom did.
She just wanted it thrown out because she cares about you.
You know how she feels, right?
She must feel distraught.
Come over some time and comfort her.
Sun Hyuk, why did you marry Ha Ra if you still miss Eun Jo so much?
I'm sure Ha Ra seduced you.
Was she hoping for Eun Jo to die?
They used to be such close friends.
How could she seduce you as soon as she died?
Does it even make sense?
Bo Mi, Ha Ra had a hard time back then too.
Everyone did.
I can't stand hearing you take her side.
It's making me feel so sorry for Eun Jo.
I'm going to leave.
Anyway, don't let Ha Ra know about that.
If she finds out, she'll freak out.
Ha Jun, is working with Ms. Hwang going okay?
Grandma, did you call me to ask that?
I'll make sure you don't get engaged to Se Rin.
So, you have nothing to worry about.
I also told your dad about it.
Your stepmother won't be able to stop you, either.
I'm swamped working on the new brand with Chief Hwang right now.
That's right.
Now is an excellent chance to work late and try to grow closer with her.
I can take care of my dating life.
Also, we are too busy to go on a date.
You don't have to go on dates.
Just spend time working together.
As you two youthful people spend a long time working together,
you will eventually develop feelings for each other.
I don't think you know her so well.
She's like an iron wall. I've got no chance.
She may be firm like an iron wall, but she must have a heart.
Ha Jun, you can show her that you care for her by making sure she feels okay.
Just show her that you care about her. She'll eventually open up to you.
And that will be the moment you can get into her heart.
She dumped me twice already, though.
Don't just be straightforward.
Be gentle like sprinkles of rain...
and flower petals flying in the spring breeze.
Be natural like how the ground hardens after it absorbs rain.
Okay. I got it.
Grandma, I must get back to work. Goodbye, now.
Grandma, I'm facing a bigger problem than that.
What is it?
Director Oh, President Oh wants to see you.
What?
Why did you send for me?
Obviously, I called you to tell you something as your father.
I was wondering if I did anything wrong.
Thanks to you,
I feel less embarrassed at the executive board meetings.
Even those who didn't like you in the director position...
complimented the report you wrote.
Is work going okay?
I didn't work hard on it to make you feel less embarrassed.
Please.
Anyway, whatever you do, just keep it up.
I'm sure you weren't too happy with me.
I wanted to do what's best for you.
I'm sure you know all parents want their children to be well off.
What's this all about?
Did you call me to tell me these things?
It's embarrassing.
Give me a chance to feel less embarrassed toward your dead mother.
I want you to be well off and inherit this company.
I'm sure your mom would want that.
Just act the way you've always done.
Don't make me feel embarrassed.
Don't think this is easy for me.
Try to be more understanding of how I feel.
I feel very grateful to Ms. Hwang for helping you...
get your life back on track.
Don't lose her.
Just like how I didn't lose your mom,
if you think she's the one, hang onto her and don't let her go.
Did you really do that to Mom?
Why are you talking about Mom all of a sudden?
I'm sure you don't care about her anymore.
Ha Jun,
I've never forgotten your mother, even for a moment.
What?
What? He's never forgotten about Na Yeon?
What happened to that mean old man?
I can't believe he just talked about Mom.
Mr. Cha and Eun Jo almost married each other.
Dad said he never stopped thinking about Mom.
The same must be true for Sun Hyuk.
But still, he shouldn't make it so obvious that he misses her.
(Sun Hyuk's wedding suit made by Eun Jo)
Sun Hyuk!
I heard your angelic first love looks like Ms. Hwang.
How did you find out about it?
It's not important how I found out.
What's important is that you were showing it so much,
yet I found out about it so late.
It is true that I was flustered by how similar they look at first,
but that's the end of it.
That had better be true.
As soon as your angelic first love died,
you betrayed her and got married to Ha Ra.
It's been rough on him. Were my words too harsh?
No. I have feelings for Chief Hwang. I'm not being too harsh.
Did you come just to tell me that?
That's right.
Besides, Chief Hwang is nothing...
like your angelic first love.
She's not like an angel. She's evil.
I was rejected and declined even when we first met.
She mistook me for a sexual offender.
She's such a bully.
That's her charm, though.
She's feisty and competitive.
She's so cool.
She's so extreme.
She's unpredictable, and there's always an unexpected turn.
On top of that, she's so sweet.
Ha Jun, do you have a crush on her?
Was it obvious?
Shoot. It was.
It's just one-sided for now.
She seems to have her story.
I kind of confessed my feelings to her...
and she rejected me instantly.
She said she doesn't trust men.
She doesn't trust men?
Why not?
She said she was betrayed by a man.
I think she was stabbed in the back.
This cold woman was betrayed by a man.
How can I win her heart?
I didn't have to mention the betrayal and everything.
I went too far again.
What's wrong?
When did you come, Chief Hwang?
You wanted to do market research first.
I did?
"Let's crush the first round."
"Designs are what matter."
"We should need inspiration for them."
"To do so, we should do market research first."
These are what you said at the strategy meeting.
I said we should do market research...
to analyze customer preferences for fashion.
By the way, you remember all that.
Of course, we're partners.
To celebrate our partnership,
are we going on a date in the matching shoes I got you?
Director Oh, this is market research, not a date.
That's right.
Hold on.
I think I should see a doctor.
Is something wrong?
I feel like there's a hole in my heart.
My heart hurts whenever you point things out.
Then, let's do this separately.
Fine.
I was just kidding. You took it seriously.
Let's visit a cultural mecca in the city with artistic features.
Then, it could be streets with murals and alleys with artistic cafes.
We can check out Garosu-gil, Gyeongridan-gil, and Bukchon Gyedong-gil.
Those are hot spots for a date.
We'll do this separately.
All right. Let's check them all out.
Seongsu handmade shoe street is also a hot spot.
I had a bittersweet memory there.
I went there to get the shoes I loved.
I met a feisty girl like a bully there.
That's when my jobless life...
Where are you going?
- Where are you headed? - All right. Let's check them all out!
We will make it a one-day trip, though.
Then, we're going this weekend, okay?
Dongdaemun Queen, when are you sending me the list of designs?
I need it by next week.
Wait.
"Wait"?
How much longer should I wait?
What if she's running away with my money?
Is she on Ga Heun's side again?
I've had it. I should check it now.
- You're verified. - This is so amazing.
This will prevent security breaches.
Chief Hwang, you get work done so fast.
Let's go have a meeting.
- Okay. - Okay.
What?
What is it that is so amazing she had to install this?
You're not registered.
Darn it. Nothing's working out.
What is that incredible thing she's protecting with a door lock?
Ju Se Rin, I told you to wait.
How dare you doubt me?
What's with her?
Does she know I went to Ga Heun?
No way.
I never doubted you.
I was just waiting for you.
You must've been on edge, worrying I might run away with your money.
Let me put out the bait you want.
Oh, dear. This is crazy.
These are Dongdaemun Queen's designs?
If I fix this part a little,
it'd be more useful.
Don't even think about making changes to my designs.
She scared me.
How does she know me well?
Don't change a thing and submit it at the launching competition.
If you don't keep this promise, the contract will be canceled.
She will cancel the contract?
You were already paid. Don't boss me around.
These designs are mine now.
Se Rin, you have a terrible habit of taking Eun Jo's designs like yours.
I will break that habit of yours.
Mom is looking for the lunch box.
We might get caught. Over.
I went to your restaurant, but it was closed.
You didn't have to come.
You didn't throw out the suit Eun Jo made for you.
It upset me so much that I closed it early.
I'm sorry. I'm coming home now.
Bye.
Eun Gyul.
My brother-in-law!
Why are you here?
Are you waiting for someone?
What do I do? Her cover shouldn't be blown.
Right!
You always give her tonkatsu.
Sun Hyuk, Eun Jo is back.
Marry her again.
What? What are you talking about?
That's Eun Jo.
Eun Jo.
Eun Jo, he's on our side.
Marry him.
Mr. Ko,
I looked after you like your late sister as I look like her.
You're confused that I'm actually her.
Don't make me this again.
Eun Jo is mad.
Eun Gyul did something wrong.
How can you be that harsh?
I pretended to be his sister because Bo Mi asked me to do it.
Don't get me wrong.
I didn't get you wrong.
You have a warm heart.
I know that.
I don't have a warm heart.
Don't get the wrong idea.
Then, why did you confuse him?
I don't know how you were hurt in the past,
but I guess I was a reminder.
Excuse me?
You think I betrayed the girl I loved like your guy.
That's why you yelled at me, isn't it?
You're right.
That's correct.
I hate people like you.
No.
I loathe you.
You can't get over your late first love?
You say it as if she was your only love.
Would Ms. Ko think so too?
When some other girl is by your side.
Eun Gyul.
I'm sorry, Eun Gyul.
Eun Jo, you're mad that I didn't keep our promise, right?
No, Eun Gyul. It's not that.
I'm sorry.
I'm not mad at you.
I'm mad at myself.
I must stay strong.
Hello, Director Choi.
A retreat?
How about we go on a retreat this weekend?
I'm sorry. I have work this weekend.
This weekend?
Hoon's going camping at kindergarten this weekend.
I don't think this weekend is good for Mrs. Oh either.
It's not officially set yet.
We're going with a few main actors and staff members.
I thought we could talk more about the characters.
Is Ms. Hwang coming too?
She has work, so she's not coming.
If you have plans, you can join us next time too.
No. Of course, I should attend.
I'm the main actress. How can I miss it?
Okay. I will see you, then.
Ga Heun not going gives me more reason to attend it.
That way, I can keep the director on my side completely.
I won't let him be swayed...
by Ga Heun just as in the last audition.
Wait.
This weekend...
Hoon is going camping.
If I back out, Sun Hyuk will nag at me again.
I'll take you to a better place.
Stop crying!
You said you were coming with me.
You're a liar.
I'm not missing it on purpose.
I promise I'll join you next time.
No. I don't like that.
Come with me this time.
You're mean.
I hate you, Mom.
How could you say that to your mother?
Who taught you to pester your mother?
Stop crying. I'll join you next time.
What are you doing?
Dad.
Mom said she can't come camping with me.
A retreat with the crew came up all of a sudden.
I begged you to keep your promises to Hoon.
Is it that hard for you?
Hoon, I'm coming with you.
Let's have fun together.
No. All my friends are coming with both their parents.
Dad, can you come with Byeol's lady?
I can't.
(Sun Hyuk's wedding suit made by Eun Jo)
He still kept it?
Hello, Hoon.
Ma'am, my mom is not coming camping.
Come with me.
What?
You tell her, Dad.
Ask her to go camping with me.
If you don't mind, can you join us this weekend?
If you don't want to, you can decline.
No.
I will come.
(Miss Monte-Cristo)
Aren't you doing market research with Director Oh?
Ha Jun is going on a date with Chief Hwang to do market research.
Who finished this box lunch?
"I'll bring it to you. Over"?
We shouldn't get caught by Vice President Geum.
What do we do?
I saw it coming.
I can't now. I'm on a date with Ha Jun.
Ga Heun canceled plans with Ha Jun?
The doll that's called Byeol. Was it your baby?
Sun Hyuk, Byeol is your baby.
Camping? What is she doing there?
Eun Jo.
