(Episode 41)
Yes, there's a fire in the storage room. Please hurry!
(General Manager Cha Sun Hyuk)
No.
I shouldn't answer his call.
I told her to bring Ga Heun's dress. What's taking her so long?
There is a fire.
Find the nearest emergency exit.
It's the storage room!
- Did you call 911? - Yes.
Chief Hwang called them herself.
Move.
Come on!
Move aside.
Ms. Hwang, wake up.
Chief Hwang!
What are you doing? Get her on my back!
- Hey, are you okay? - I'm fine.
Move her to the hospital.
Okay. I'm going.
Honey!
Are you hurt? Let me see it.
What about Ms. Hwang? Is she on her way to the hospital?
Why do you care about her right now? You're hurt.
- Let me see it. - I have to check on her first.
It's all burned, and there's nothing to retrieve.
Put out the fire now!
You jumped into the fire to save Ga Heun?
I won't get caught, will I?
An alcohol cleaner is used to remove stains on clothes.
It's naturally in the storage room.
We also keep a lighter to mend the stitches.
Right.
There's no security camera in the storage room.
Okay. It won't be a problem.
Good job, Se Rin.
You can design the dress for my first shoot.
What? It's completely ruined.
What about mine?
What happened to Ga Heun's samples for the launch?
Can't you tell from this dress?
How would there still be samples left?
Right? There's no way the clothes are intact in that fire.
What a relief.
But why are you so mad?
Shouldn't you be happy since the dress is burned?
Do you know what I just saw?
I had to watch two men jump into the fire to save Ga Heun.
How do you expect me not to get angry?
Two men?
Seeing how furious you are, one of them must be Manager Cha.
The other one...
No way. It's Ha Jun?
Yes.
That Ha Jun you've been after for years just got Ga Heun on his back...
and rushed to the hospital.
What's so amazing about her?
Ha Jun and Ga Heun will be closer because I started the fire for you.
Hey, Ju Se Rin.
You just weren't good enough to win him. Why are you blaming me?
If I hadn't ordered you to do this today, you would have lost the competition.
Make the dress well.
Make a totally different one that doesn't remind me of Eun Jo.
She was fortunately rescued early,
so she wasn't exposed to poisonous gas nor poisoned by carbon monoxide.
The doctor in charge said she could be discharged once she's up.
Is that so? But...
why is she still sleeping?
Are you sure there aren't other problems?
She could have hurt her head, or there could be brain damage.
She's just sleeping because we gave her sedatives.
She must have been very tired.
You must be her boyfriend.
So, she's asleep.
Deep asleep.
She must have been exhausted.
By the way, she's like the Sleeping Beauty in bed.
How is she? Did they say she's okay?
Yes, she's fine.
She's been too busy with work, so she's asleep after getting sedatives.
That's a relief.
You must have been afraid of having another casualty at the company.
How could there be a fire in the storage room?
I'm going to examine this accident in detail.
I'll make sure to find out...
who did this to my girlfriend.
Wait, are you hurt?
It's not serious.
Yes, it is!
How occupied were you not to notice this?
Wait here. I'll ask them to treat you.
Why didn't you answer my call?
If you did, I would have been there earlier.
You didn't ignore it on purpose, did you?
What? A fire?
So, how's Chief Hwang?
She was found early on, so she's okay.
After Chief Hwang's kidnapping last time,
how could this happen again in Jewang Group?
The ethanol cleaner and lighter found on the scene seem to have been the cause.
Lighter?
Are you saying this was arson?
Arson?
They often use lighters to mend the stitches on clothes.
Shouldn't this be judged as an employee's mistake?
Or it could have been Chief Hwang's mistake.
Do you think Chief Hwang would make such a mistake?
Investigate and find out who went into the storage room.
Yes, sir.
The samples for the launch are ruined,
and it's a perfect incident to place the blame on Chief Hwang.
You're here.
- Did you want to see me, ma'am? - Mr. Kim.
Get me the original security footage...
of the storage room at the time of the fire.
Will you investigate it yourself?
But why do you want the original?
Just bring it if I say so.
Yes, ma'am.
Se Rin definitely did this.
You should've cleaned things up if you meant to do it.
(Korea University Hospital)
Eun Jo.
I...
can't live without you.
If you die,
I'll die with you.
Chief Hwang.
You have no idea how startled I was.
What kind of couple are we?
It's not my style to nurse my girlfriend.
Actually, I hate hospitals.
My mom was in a hospital for a long time.
I also hated how my mom smelled like a hospital.
Don't think of leaving me as my mom did.
Then, I'm dying with you.
Keep that in mind.
Director Oh.
Did you just say you'll die with me if I die?
When did I say that?
I'm going to live until I'm 100.
I'm going to live for a long time and spend time with you.
Who says I'm dying?
I'm relieved to see that you're up.
Now that we've come to a hospital,
let's get you a thorough physical examination.
You're a workaholic.
I don't even want to imagine you dying from overworking.
(Jewang Group)
The competition is just around the corner, but all the samples are burned.
This isn't good.
- I must go to work now. - Don't worry.
We'll postpone the product exhibition.
I'll take care of everything. So, forget everything and just rest.
Vice President Geum won't let you postpone the product exhibition.
I can't afford to have my staff lose the launching competition because of me.
I'll take care of everything. Just trust me.
I need to send the work order and put the samples in the truck.
I already did all that.
I have no choice. Ms. Hwang, you have to freeze now.
Don't move. Otherwise, you'll melt. You are ice now.
Thank you...
for saving me.
I thank you even more.
Wait, no.
I don't want to have to save you from fire ever again.
Don't make me go on dates at the hospital.
I'm probably not the first guy to come into this room, am I?
I am not the first guy? Who is it, then?
Sure. I knew it.
It's fine. It doesn't matter.
I'm here now.
You are frozen now, okay?
How are you?
You probably aren't feeling too fine because of what happened to Ms. Hwang.
I heard you saved Ga Heun's life. Thank you.
I'm sorry that this happened at the Jewang Group building.
We'll take a serious look into the cause of the fire.
Please do so. Thank you in advance.
Does she not know yet?
President Hwang.
Ms. Hwang and I are in a relationship.
I knew it already. Bye, now.
I'll come again later to say hi.
Who could be the man who's been in Ms. Hwang's room?
Who are you?
Who are you, then?
Why are you allowed to barge in here?
I'm Ga Heun's brother.
Brother?
I didn't know she had a brother.
You must be that...
I'm Ms. Hwang's boyfriend. Let's be friends.
I don't want to be friends. I have a brother-in-law.
A brother-in-law?
What is he talking about?
You shouldn't stay at the desk all day. You should exercise and stretch.
I have no time for that. I've got to study for my exam.
Welcome.
I wanted to get a new bed for my son that's better for his shoulders and neck.
You came to the right place. Try this out yourself.
It feels nice.
It's pretty nice.
It's nice that he can be treated even in bed.
Eun Gyul, didn't you say you are going to the bathroom? What took you so long?
I saw Ga Heun.
She was sleeping in her room.
She's sleeping? She's not at work?
There was a fire at her company, so she had to go to a hospital.
Ga Heun is a phoenix.
There was a fire? Tell me in detail.
Ga Heun and I are friends now.
Really?
Are Ga Heun, you, and I all on the same team?
Yes, we are.
So, you can tell me everything that happened to Ga Heun.
Cho Shim,
you are too good for Tae Sik.
Soon Jung,
that's right.
You are the best.
We are both single. Let our friendship last...
forever!
Even our names are perfect for each other.
There's passionate Cho Shim in Soon Jung's heart.
That's right.
There's passionate Soon Jung in Cho Shim's heart!
Cho Shim, never forget about Soon Jung.
Soon Jung,
never forget about Cho Shim.
To the single women's friendship!
You guys are united.
- Eun Gyul will make a cross, too. - Cross!
Cross.
Soon Jung.
Yes, Cho Shim?
So, what you are saying is...
you have no feelings for Ju Tae Sik at all?
What you are saying is Ju Tae Sik is the one for you, right?
That's right. You will help me out, right?
Don't blame me in the future, okay?
Don't say it's my fault for not stopping you.
I won't ever blame you.
You live life only once. Let me give this a try and give that a try.
I can't help but keep thinking you are too good for Mr. Ju.
Don't be so calculating in your life.
But why do you like Mr. Ju so much?
I don't know.
It's just he makes my heart beat faster.
So, I decided I'll devote my life to that guy.
Mom, make porridge, please.
Ga Heun is sick.
What?
You mean Ms. Hwang who looks like Eun Jo is sick?
Why are you asking Soon Jung to make porridge for her?
What's her mom doing?
I saw that she really enjoyed the box lunch that Mrs. Bae made.
She must've liked her cooking.
I bet she lost her appetite since she's ill.
I must help her feel better.
I should make it for her right now.
Hey.
Why do you call your boss' daughter, as if she's your friend?
We became friends.
She was pretty nice.
She also treats Eun Gyul very nicely as if she's his real sister.
Also, the way she smiles is similar to Eun Jo.
It's unbelievable how things are going.
You became a friend to that girl.
Eun Gyul became her brother.
Soon Jung became her mother.
That girl who looks like Eun Jo is blessed.
Seriously.
Oh, gosh.
I can't go to sleep because of the two million dollars.
Even when I'm awake, I can't stop worrying...
about those two million dollars.
Oh, my goodness.
Mr. Ju, I brought him here.
I'm sorry for bringing you on your way to work.
My boss was struggling so much.
My son, there's a hole in my heart.
It's a hole you can only fill with money.
When is the next investment?
The stock investment just ended.
Nothing has been decided yet.
We must wait until Madam Black makes a decision.
Dr. Choi, can you help me get into that meeting?
May I invest just 100,000 dollars?
How dare you say that?
There's a proper order for everything!
Who are you to join our group?
Also, you don't have that much money.
Go and get some tea for us.
I must help Se Rin pay for her debt, too.
You are so clueless.
By the way, sir.
Did you use up all of the two million dollars already?
Tell me what is going on.
You know I'm the expert on this.
This is so frustrating.
I'll just tell you.
You see,
I'm telling you this only because I consider you my son.
This is a secret.
So,
actually, I'm managing Jewang's secret fund.
Discover the size of Geum Eun Hwa's secret fund, which is in the basement.
A secret fund?
Jewang Group's secret fund must be a lot of money.
And you are in charge of managing it?
That's right.
It's not an easy job for just anyone, you know.
I'm sure.
I know you have the guts to do that.
But she's making me take full responsibility...
for a part of the fund that's lost.
Does it even make sense?
This is so unfair. She's making me pay two million dollars for it.
This is crazy.
Tae Sik took the bait.
We could find out how much the slush fund Tae Sik hid soon.
How are you feeling?
We will find out how much Eun Hwa's slush fund is soon.
Get some rest today, at least.
The fire wasn't just a coincidence, right?
Ha Ra and Se Rin are behind it.
It must've been to remove the samples and the costumes for the movie.
They even abducted you last time.
I've had it.
- I should have bodyguards around you. - Mom.
Don't worry. I won't just stand them anymore.
As you can see, I'm safe and sound.
What are you going to do about the outfit for the crank-in?
Don't worry about that.
I'll go with a plan B.
All right. You should eat, though.
Ga Heun, how about I get you xiaolongbao you loved in Hong Kong?
I don't feel like eating.
I'll eat later.
President Hwang, Mrs. Bae's here to see you.
Let her in.
Yes, ma'am.
You're home.
Your daughter is sick,
so Eun Gyul and Bo Mi were so worried.
I made porridge for her.
I heard she loved the box lunch Eun Gyul brought you before.
Thank you.
I was going to feed her something.
That's good timing.
I'll go run an errand. Take good care of her.
I'm not sure if you'd like this.
When my Eun Jo was sick,
I used to make chicken rice porridge for her.
I also...
like it.
Thank you.
Mother, how did you know I started the fire?
I've just checked the security camera for the storage room.
The security camera?
It was clear there.
When was it set up?
When Ga Heun was kidnapped,
Ha Jun hired a new security firm and set up cameras.
How could you make trouble without even knowing that?
You should've been more careful.
I'm sorry. I was in a hurry.
I'm confident I can beat her this time.
But Ha Ra resists wearing the dress Ga Heun made.
Was there a costume for the movie?
Yes, Mother.
I was just trying to help Ha Ra.
Take it easy.
I have the security footage.
I appreciate your effort, though.
Just don't speak about it.
That's a relief.
Mother, I have a suggestion.
The other team doesn't have the time to make samples again.
They won't be able to submit them anyway.
I don't have to make changes to my designs, right?
It's obvious Chief Hwang will lose.
If we ask for advice from Mr. Gong and get a higher score,
that would keep my appearances up.
Just make the changes.
Mr. Gong retired a long time ago.
It was good...
that I retouched Dongdaemun Queen's designs.
These are undoubtedly my designs.
I changed my mind.
I will make costumes for the movie. Send me the scenario.
Really?
I'll send it right now.
In the first scene, there's a pink dress with a crown.
You can ignore that.
Make a different one.
Design something completely different.
Okay.
Something completely different?
You don't want it to remind you of Eun Jo's dress.
Ha Ra, I'm afraid I can't do that.
You should think of the memory of Eun Jo,
so you can act sincerely.
Of course, I should give Se Rin a chance to think of the memory, too.
(The First Product Exhibition of Squads for the New Brand)
What?
You want to delay the contest?
Yes. Due to the fire in the office,
Chief Hwang's team took a hit.
It's reasonable to be considerate of them.
Director Oh has been on the motorcycle with a delivery guy...
visiting the vendors since dawn.
It'd take more time for him to arrive.
I don't know.
Ga Heun should be responsible for the fire.
That's a ridiculous idea.
The board and the store owners...
took the time to come here today.
Do they have to wait just to be considerate of Ga Heun only?
Director Oh is on his way. Let's give him more time.
Taking care of a crisis like this...
is a quality that a successor needs.
Don't you think so, honey?
Continue as planned.
Whose side are you on?
Where are you? Are you on your way?
I am.
Buy some time anyhow.
Okay. We will start with Se Rin's designs.
As you can see, the fabric and the designs...
are aimed to be elegant and high-quality.
It looks classy and nice.
We could launch them for the VIPs right now.
The fabric is high-quality.
But the designs look unbalanced.
The colors are too bright.
I'm not sure if they would look well on customers.
It needs reviewing.
Well, it would've been better without this.
You're correct.
As the executive team manager,
I've made some changes to Ms. Ju's designs.
You can refer to this to compare them.
I like it.
I know. They look so much more elegant.
Let me see.
Why did you make them this way?
I told you.
Mr. Gong has a good eye for this.
Isn't it rude to change someone's designs without their permission?
Are you Chief Hwang who designed the liberation-themed pilot products?
It's a pleasure to meet you.
We've met over the screen in the online meeting.
The customers loved the pilot products.
They're already crazy about them.
They've been asking when the new brand will be launched.
By the way, what happened to your samples?
Hold on!
Come on. Hurry up.
Just don't look at them.
Mr. Kim and Ms. An, try them on.
They feel so comfortable when you're wearing them.
The theme for the new brand is "Liberation from discomfort."
It's highly flexible,
and its lightweight enables us to move around easily.
It's soft and feels so comfortable.
Chief Hwang, it's so light that I feel like I have wings.
And we're the ones dealing with the embarrassment.
Ha Jun.
Your team got the highest score.
Have a team dinner with this.
Are you giving me your credit card?
I'll pay for three rounds with it. Is that okay?
You rascal. You can do this well. Why have you been worrying me so much?
I feel resentful about those days you worried me.
Are you scolding me or complimenting me?
You're confusing me.
Son.
Good job.
What are you doing? You're choking me.
Ha Jun,
I'm just very proud of you.
Now I can save face before your deceased mother.
Good work.
My spirit is alive, thanks to you.
So, Ha Jun and Ga Heun's team won?
Yes. They closely collaborated...
and achieved a complete victory.
They're an amazing couple.
I knew it!
Ha Jun finally did it.
He found his other half.
President Han, have some tea.
How dare you eavesdrop on me?
Oh, my. I wasn't.
Get lost!
Mr. Park, so how did Ha Jun and Ga Heun win?
Fill me in on the details.
Is that so?
I see.
Se Rin burned all Ga Heun's work and still lost.
How absurd.
How did it happen?
I'm home.
Hoon, why are you in a good mood these days?
I'm happy to see you change.
I forgot to kiss Great Grandma.
How badly did he want to go camping with me?
He even drew me.
Hello, Director Choi.
The date for crank-in is set?
Of course. I'm looking forward to it.
Director Oh was so awesome today.
He rode a motorcycle here with the samples.
He must love Chief Hwang so much.
He saved her himself in the fire, too.
To be exact, it wasn't him who saved her.
It was Manager Cha.
What are you talking about?
Manager Cha almost destroyed the iron door of the storage room to save you.
He ran right into it and blocked the burning boxes...
with his whole body to keep you safe.
He burned his hand because of that.
Why did you want to see me?
Are you feeling okay?
Do you know why I didn't take your calls?
You didn't take my calls on purpose?
You were in such a dangerous situation,
but you still didn't answer the phone risking your life?
Yes. It's because I didn't want your help.
I told you.
I never want to give you a chance.
Why don't you listen to me?
Why did you jump into the fire without thinking?
I told you you'd get hurt.
I don't care.
So, don't ever do that again.
No matter how much you don't like me...
or hate me,
take my calls in a dangerous situation like that.
I got my dad's credit card. Let's have a team dinner.
A team dinner? Let's eat Korean beef.
I like Korean beef and pork belly.
Sashimi is better.
Korean beef, pork belly, and sashimi. Let's eat them all!
Let's have the best team dinner.
By the way, where's Chief Hwang? Where is she?
She went to the rooftop earlier.
To the rooftop?
What should I do to stop you?
If you keep doing this,
I will help you realize you won't get a second chance.
Chief Hwang.
Where are you?
Chief Hwang, my dad gave me this because we won.
I was...
(Miss Monte-Cristo)
Was I just kissed?
I hope you won't run away from me.
You sly Tae Sik, just sit down and eat.
Come on, Soon Jung.
Am I dreaming?
There's a scene where you drink juice.
Hold on. I won't drink juice.
Dongdaemun Queen, sign a long-term contract with me.
How much do you want? 300,000 dollars?
Wait, my maid.
This is the price for your dirty soul.
Make Ha Ra drink it.
Ha Ra, I will make you drink it.
