(Episode 39)
This is...
where I used to meet Eun Jo.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Ko Eun Gyul wanted to see me.
That's why you came here?
I guess he's late.
I can't pretend that I don't know you.
I keep thinking there's Eun Jo inside you.
When I imagine that she's resenting me up there like you are,
it drives me crazy.
So, I can't look away from you anymore.
I can't keep telling myself that you're not Eun Jo anymore.
What on earth do you mean?
You're going to push the engagement between Ha Jun and Se Rin?
Ha Jun was on a date with Se Rin at the restaurant in Jewang Hotel.
He booked the whole restaurant, at that.
If the rumor that he's two-timing at work,
wouldn't it be a shame to our family?
So, you'll have Ha Jun get engaged with the little vixen?
Se Rin is the only one who would look past...
Ha Jun's habit of creating scandals.
He's old enough, so we should find him a spouse...
so that he won't cause any more scandals.
You don't know what you're talking about.
He's never had a girlfriend before. What kind of scandals?
You let her get into your head in the meantime?
Mother!
Both of you, listen.
I booked the restaurant to encourage Chief Hwang and Ha Jun for their work.
If Chief Hwang couldn't go with him,
he would have gone there to eat alone.
Why on earth would he eat with the little vixen?
You booked the restaurant?
That's right!
I'm sure that little vixen played some trick.
I won't move past this.
I'm going to get to the truth.
Get to the truth?
Then, you could bring Se Rin here and ask her.
No, not that little vixen.
Ha Jun... No. I'll have to hear from Chief Hwang.
I'll ask her why she let Se Rin take away her chance.
- I'm home. - Hey.
Ha Jun, what are you up to these days?
People are saying you're two-timing!
Pardon? What do you mean, "two-timing"?
You, stay put.
I'll talk to him alone.
Grandma, what is this about?
How did this happen?
Why were you eating with Se Rin, not Ga Heun?
What is this? When was this taken?
This was taken without permission.
Who took this picture?
Who do you think it is? It must have been that little vixen!
I got chills.
This is why I don't like her.
She used to send me 100 emails every day when I was studying abroad.
I almost reported her to Interpol.
You should have reported her, then!
What are you going to do now?
Your father wants to have you get engaged to that little vixen...
before you cause another scandal.
Who says I'm getting engaged with her?
So, why did you have to go there with that little vixen?
I didn't go with her.
She somehow found out and followed me.
Actually, Chief Hwang had something urgent come up.
You were so looking forward to it,
so I was afraid you'd be disappointed if I told you I was stood up.
That's why I went there by myself.
So, you went to the restaurant by yourself,
and that little vixen appeared, right?
Yes!
She threatened me that she'd tell you Chief Hwang stood me up.
Then, she'll get on your bad side.
You're saying you had no choice but to go on a date with Se Rin...
to cover for Chief Hwang. Is that right?
Then, what should I have done?
Ha Jun, you poor kid.
You're going to get caught up by Se Rin if you don't deal with this.
As soon as you go to work tomorrow,
find a way to bring Chief Hwang home.
Why? Are you going to scold her?
No way.
You can bring her home and tell your father...
that you're into Ga Heun.
It's not Se Rin but Ga Heun. Tell him that!
But that's not what she would like.
You can't exactly be the chooser now!
Bring her home tonight!
Here. We've decided on these three.
These are our designs.
How would I ask her to come home with me tonight?
Are you surprised, Ga Heun?
You'll be even more surprised when I get the samples.
I told you never to change a thing, and you disobeyed Dongdaemun Queen?
Se Rin, you still haven't broken your habit of retouching designs.
When we get the samples,
we'll set a date for the show and move on to our first competition.
The meeting's over, right?
Right. Chief Hwang, talk to me for a second.
Let me talk to you first.
I have to discuss something with her.
I asked her to see me first.
Ha Jun, we should talk.
Chief Hwang, come to my office right after!
Did he switch already?
He must be playing hard to get. You know how firm Chief Hwang can be.
Hey! Don't touch me.
You took a photo without my permission at the restaurant.
That's a crime.
Come on. Your grandma should know how far we've come.
Then, we'll get engaged sooner.
Gosh. You're really scary.
So, you used that picture to lie that we're dating?
Even if you were the only woman in this world, I wouldn't be your fiance.
Ha Jun.
From this moment, you're not allowed within 100 m from me.
Get lost!
He's pretty cute.
Now that we ate and watched a movie, all that's left is...
Yes, Mother. The meeting just ended.
I'll be there now.
What did you want to tell me?
You can't change my mind.
I will not turn away from you.
So? What do you want to do?
Just like you acted as Eun Jo for me that day,
I want to be that man.
Whether it's rage or hatred, take it out on me.
The hatred I have won't disappear overnight.
It can take a night or a month.
Or even if you need more time, I want you to be able to love again.
Love?
I don't believe in that crap.
There's no such thing as love in this world.
I'm going to hate him until he's dead.
I am never forgiving him.
Let me change your mind.
Give me a chance, too.
What kind of chance?
Are you saying you'll come for me anytime I want?
Will you always be there for me when I'm having a hard time?
Yes. If you want, I'll do that.
People will point fingers at you if you do that.
But you're not alone.
I don't care.
If only I can get rid of the rage you hold,
I'm willing to do it.
You'll get hurt.
I'd rather get hurt than watch you hurting.
If you can't stop it, let me stop you.
Se Rin is trying to drag me in.
She'll be a trouble if I leave her be.
- Chief Hwang. - Why did you want to see me?
Well...
Chief Hwang, something very troubling happened to me.
My life is about to end.
Can you help me?
What happened?
I might be engaged to Se Rin at this rate.
- So what? - "So what"?
This is all your fault.
Because you stood me up on our market research plans,
I was blackmailed by Se Rin to eat and watch a movie with her.
My old man is trying to have me get engaged to Se Rin because of that.
Is that why you called me here?
Which is why I am asking you...
to go to my house with me.
My grandma insisted on bringing you with me.
Did President Han say so?
Are you saying you want me to act as if you and I are dating?
I think so.
I know that's an absurd idea.
You have no interest in me.
Why did you have to cancel our market research plans?
I am in so much trouble now.
Director Oh.
Why did you lie to Oh Ha Ra that I went on a business trip?
Why do you think I did?
I did because you might get caught being Hoon's art teacher.
That was your secret with Manager Cha.
You two hate each other. I was afraid you two might fight again.
She can be very sharp once she gets suspicious.
Are you that worried about me?
I'm not worried. It's affection.
The person I like is being cornered!
Okay, I will go.
I will pretend that we're dating.
Really? Are you really coming to my house with me?
We are partners.
You are cornered right now. I should help you.
Thank you, Chief Hwang.
I overreacted again.
Thank you.
Do you want me to visit your house tonight?
Yes, now that the topic came up, we should push the engagement.
Let's set up the engagement date...
once the first competition results come out.
Really? Did Father also allow that?
You should be the one who should capture President Oh's heart!
Mother is nothing but an old lady stuck in the room in the back.
It's up to President Oh whether you get your engagement or not.
Your position in the company is what matters the most.
In the first competition,
you should prove to him that you are worthy of being his daughter-in-law.
Of course. You also looked at my designs.
I will definitely win.
I also think so, but...
Ga Heun's design sample was also not bad.
Her pilot products were so popular,
so the store managers will give positive reviews.
If so, what should I do?
First,
the executives will follow my orders.
It's best to keep Ga Heun's designs...
from being on the show in the first place.
But there is not much to worry about.
Your design was quite excellent this time.
I will push the executives to place you first.
Anyway, make sure to come home with proper attire. Did you understand?
Okay, I will.
What gift would Father like?
Do we have a guest today?
It seems like Mr. Oh's girlfriend is visiting.
President Han and Vice President Geum...
ordered me to prepare as much food as possible.
I think it's Ha Jun's future spouse.
His future spouse?
Grandma and Mom both invited her?
Ju Se Rin, you said you only had a date with Ha Jun.
Are you officially introducing yourself already?
Se Rin is visiting the house later. You are coming downstairs, right?
We aren't living alone here.
All the family members are gathering tonight.
Please don't make things uncomfortable.
Ga Heun is here.
Se Rin must be here.
Ga Heun, welcome!
How have you been? You look younger than I met you before.
You got much more beautiful.
Thank you for inviting me.
Welcome.
Ha Jun, you said you would bring your girlfriend.
Was that Chief Hwang?
Well, yes.
Have a seat, everyone.
That old woman!
Did she call Chief Hwang?
But Se Rin should be here in no time.
Let me change your mind. Give me a chance, too.
What kind of chance?
Are you saying you'll come for me anytime I want?
Will you always be there for me when I'm having a hard time?
Yes.
If you want, I'll do that.
You'll get hurt.
("The Wolf Child")
Dad.
Byeol's lady is here.
How are the two...
getting ready for the first competition?
Yes, I am doing my best with Director Oh.
I heard last time that you two were keeping your teamwork together...
by going on a bike ride date?
Did you two ride a bike together?
Gosh, you two must have played around when you should have been working.
Yes, I asked him out.
Use Ha Jun...
in front of Sun Hyuk.
Then, your revenge will end sooner.
Excuse me.
I want to have a serious relationship with Director Oh.
Please give us your approval.
Chief Hwang.
Mother, I'm here!
You heard that, right?
Ha Jun isn't in love with her alone.
Ga Heun also likes him!
You must all be hungry. Let's go and eat.
- Grandma, wait. - What?
Let me talk to Chief Hwang for a second.
Mother.
What was that about what President Han said?
Don't you understand?
Hwang Ga Heun has feelings for Ha Jun.
It can't be.
That old woman beat me to it.
Why didn't you come earlier?
Mom, Dad is looking for you.
Se Rin, all your effort was made in vain.
Ga Heun is determined to go out with Ha Jun.
How could this happen so quickly?
She didn't even seem to like Ha Jun.
You looked like you were dating him. Why are you always one step behind?
If Ga Heun takes Ha Jun, what are you going to do next?
You think it won't affect you?
If their relationship goes well,
she will be your sister-in-law.
Then, Sun Hyuk will see a face that looks like Eun Jo...
not only at work but also at home.
Do you think I'm not aware of that?
I shouldn't let that happen.
Never.
Chief Hwang, are you out of your mind?
I only asked you to pretend to be my girlfriend.
You didn't have to drop a bomb on us.
So, do you not like it?
What? I never said that.
I was just surprised, thinking you really meant it.
I meant it.
What?
Are you really...
saying you will go out with me?
I didn't mishear that, did I?
This must be your room.
Is this your perfume? Can I try it?
So, this was the scent that came from you.
Chief Hwang,
you can't just be direct without even giving me any signs.
Why are you calling me "Chief Hwang"?
Can I call you Ha Jun when we're alone?
What?
"Ha Jun"?
Ha Jun, can I sit here?
No, not yet. Get out of here for a moment. Let me clean up.
Do you really have to do this?
I warned you that you'd be hurt.
So, you can stop.
That's right. She came together with Ha Jun and said that.
She asked for my approval in front of the whole family to start...
a serious relationship with Ha Jun.
She said it so boldly that I said yes right away.
If that's what my daughter wants,
I'll have to support her.
President Hwang, I'd like to meet up with you...
in the next few days to talk about our children.
Sure, let's do that.
See you, then.
Okay.
I told her to use Ha Jun to show Sun Hyuk,
and she went out of her way to show it off just like that.
Vice President Geum,
President Han just talked to President Hwang on the phone.
Yes, I think they'll be meeting up soon to talk about Mr. Oh's marriage.
Okay. I'll update you again.
Who were you on the phone with?
This was...
the insurance company.
What? Insurance?
It was Vice President Geum, right?
Did you eavesdrop on me and tell that to Vice President Geum?
Mr. Ju, aren't we going to go eat?
Hey, Mr. Na.
It keeps going up. Do you see it?
This red graph is surging high.
I'm full, even without food.
I know nothing about stocks.
Is the red one the one that makes money?
What would I know about stocks?
I'm just trusting Madam Black on this.
Hey, see this?
This is only known to a few people.
This is called "pump and dump."
"Pump and dump"?
The stock for it is...
some sort of artificial intelligence or this new technology.
Hey, artificial intelligence-based robots are in trend these days.
Shouldn't you look it up first?
Should I?
It's the page Tae Sik is viewing at the moment.
I've tampered with the phone to show the stocks for pump and dump.
He's currently looking up Mega Robotics.
Keep showing him the graph surging,
and check consistently so that he won't suspect a thing.
Yes, ma'am. Except for the stocks we altered,
everything is identical, so he won't notice anything.
I've had it programmed so that the selling and buying appear to happen in real-time.
I've also installed an app to prevent tracking apps from being installed.
Keep me updated on what he searches, too.
I'll have to know where he's interested in to be able to use his greed against him.
Yes, ma'am.
I was on the phone with President Han.
You told her you wanted to start...
a serious relationship with Director Oh?
And in front of the whole family, too.
Yes.
Then, Sun Hyuk won't make you falter anymore.
Don't worry.
Se Rin was also at Director Oh's house.
Vice President Geum must've invited her.
Se Rin was?
Director Oh is the man Se Rin wants.
She seems to be trying to become Jewang's daughter-in-law,
but I'll have to crush that dream as well.
That's my daughter.
I'll be at my mutual aid meeting,
so finish working on this by dinnertime.
All of this?
It's not like I'm Cinderella. How will I finish it by then?
Why can't you?
Have all the tails, fat, and organs removed.
Is it because of that, Mrs. Yoon?
About what?
What is this?
Did she notice that Tae Sik likes her, but I was completely deluding myself?
We can't have the friendship of two single moms break over that.
It's not like I want to break it.
You shouldn't be like that, too.
You should've told me when you noticed it.
How can I say that on my own?
Why can't you? Gosh.
Since when was it?
When did you find out I like Ju...
You're doing this because of the dishwasher.
I was wondering what it was about.
You pulled off the power so that I wouldn't use the dishwasher,
but I used it behind your back.
And that's why you're acting like this.
That's right.
So, you knew.
Anyway, get this done before I'm back.
Why wouldn't I know she got the wrong idea...
and ended up liking Tae Sik?
I'm playing the fool to spare her embarrassment.
When will I do all this?
Soon Jung,
what are these chickens for?
Would a braised chicken restaurant have ducks instead of chicken?
You can't do this with your delicate hands.
I'll help you.
If you insist.
Here.
Soon Jung, what do you say?
I did as you told me. Didn't I do well?
Yes, sure. Leave now.
Mrs. Yoon will be back soon.
Hurry and leave.
You see, Soon Jung.
The gentle wind has been messing with my heart.
Would you like to go eat boiled chicken with lacquer with me?
At the foot of the mountain,
there's a restaurant that makes good boiled chicken with lacquer.
There,
they place this chicken on a cauldron with the wings on the rim.
It's like the lower body of the chicken is in a sauna.
The soup is all milky...
and the meat is so tender.
I'm getting goosebumps.
Right, just like chicken skin.
You're right.
It's like chicken skin.
You would dare to have a date in front of these sacred chickens?
Shut it!
Ga Heun is in charge of your costume for the movie?
Yes.
I didn't want to wear her designs, so I prepared everything myself.
But she rejected everything even the director was happy with.
It's so annoying.
Then, ask for a new designer.
It's Director Choi who had you debuted.
It's a movie President Hwang is making.
My mom made a joint investment, too.
Even Mother?
Things must be hard on you, too, because of Ga Heun.
Not as bad as you.
You even lost Ha Jun to her.
Not yet!
I won't let her get engaged to Ha Jun.
Even if I have to do anything.
I'll make Ga Heun lose Father's favor.
You sure will.
The costume design for the movie and the new brand.
How does she plan to do all that?
I mean, what if she makes a mistake?
That's it!
Se Rin, you'll take part in designing my movie costume.
I can't.
And I have to win Ga Heun at all costs.
Just do it if I tell you so!
You're my maid.
Why are you making me do it?
I need you to join the staff...
to make Ga Heun commit a grave mistake.
What do you mean?
I can't have Bo Mi...
do such a terrible thing to Ga Heun.
Eun Gyul, is Mom doing okay?
She was quite upset last time because of Ha Ra.
Ha Ra told to have Mom fired.
But Bo Mi didn't let her.
Bo Mi must be super strong!
Is that so?
Thank you for the box lunch.
It's the last lunch.
I got caught by Bo Mi,
so I can't bring you lunch anymore.
I'm fine.
You brought me Mom's food...
which gave me so much energy.
Fully charged!
You're busted.
The delivery is done.
Are you running away again?
Ms. Hwang, you're the pretty sister who likes tonkatsu, right?
You asked me to pretend to be Eun Gyul's sister.
"Eun Gyul"?
But you said you couldn't. What made you change your mind?
And keeping it a secret from me.
Bo Mi, you're sulky.
She even smiles just the same way.
Excuse me, don't smile in front of me like that.
I miss my friend, Eun Jo, a lot.
What kind...
of friend was Ms. Ko to you?
What? Why do you ask that?
I'm just curious.
Mrs. Oh and Ms. Ju seemed to be her friends, too.
But they don't seem to look after Eun Gyul like you do.
Those girls are brats.
Ha Ra even threatened to fire Eun Jo's mother...
to have me work as her make-up artist.
It's so annoying.
I'm not close enough to you to talk about this.
It just spilled.
Bo Mi, thank you.
Anyway, you asked me what kind of friend Eun Jo was.
Eun Jo was like Superman to me.
When I was being bullied,
she beat them for me.
When my dad passed away,
she came right away and stayed up the whole night to help me.
That's who Eun Jo was.
So, protecting her brother is...
something I should do.
Thank you for taking care of Eun Gyul.
Why do you look at me with that expression?
It's making me feel uneasy.
Queen, can you also do movie costume designs?
Ha Ra,
so you want to replace me with Se Rin.
You two really are something.
Let's have a Yein Girls' Middle School reunion.
Let's have a meeting tomorrow for the concepts on the movie costume.
Bring the staff members who will be helping you.
The location is Yein Girls' Middle School art classroom.
Yein Girls' Middle School?
How did she find out where I graduated from?
Was she digging up on me again?
But why does she want to hold a meeting there?
(Art Middle School)
It's been so long.
It hasn't changed in a bit.
Why would we have our meeting here?
She must be up to something again.
Who'd ever know what's on Ga Heun's mind?
"Ga Heun"?
The costume designer is Ms. Hwang?
Yes, you're right.
With Ms. Hwang who resembles Eun Jo here,
this feels like a school reunion.
Why did you want to meet here?
The first murder happens at a school,
and it's where your multiple personalities start to appear.
How funny.
You said you wanted to analyze and study me.
Are you curious about my school life?
Yes.
How was your friends' circle like during then?
I heard you three were classmates.
Stop with the nonsense,
and get the costumes you've prepared.
I'm looking forward...
to how great it is.
Thank you.
(Miss Monte-Cristo)
Have you ever betrayed a friend?
Don't tell me that Ga Heun is...
Ha Ra, I'll make it so that you won't be able to refuse the dress I made.
Your shoes are untied.
You're a boyfriend that needs a lot of work.
"Boyfriend"?
Did you see my girlfriend who came over here?
Byeol's lady?
She made me marshmallow skewers at the camp.
Camp?
Burn them all.
We might as well get rid of everything.
