Don't lay a hand on me.
Don't do...
stuff like this anymore.
Hey, what did I do?
You looked like you were having a nightmare, so I just...
Right, so just mind your own business.
Get out. And...
don't come into my room without my permission.
(Episode 39)
What's with him this time?
He's getting angry for no reason.
Seriously, Gu Dan Soo...
(Audrey)
What...
Oh, come on in. Take a seat.
You're still here.
I've been working late.
This tea smells so good.
It made me think of you, Gong Hee.
My gosh. Thank you.
Did I call you too late?
No. I actually needed...
to bad-mouth Gu Dan Soo to someone.
Dan Soo? Why?
He got angry for no reason.
I was just checking in to see if he was having another nightmare.
Dan Soo had a nightmare again?
It only happens occasionally these days.
When he first moved in,
he had a nightmare every single day.
I always stayed by his side when he was having a nightmare.
Gosh, he's acting strange today.
He totally snapped at me.
I think Dan Soo...
has feelings for you.
Did you know?
Dan Soo?
No way.
He probably thinks of me...
as a huge rock or something.
I'm certain that he has feelings for you, Gong Hee.
He stepped out at that late hour to pick up spicy tteokbokki for you.
He stepped out to get spicy tteokbokki?
When?
I'm really craving tteokbokki now. Super spicy tteokbokki.
You'll ruin your stomach at that rate.
Oh, I see. How come he didn't give it to me, then?
Try to notice Dan Soo's feelings too.
I think he really likes you.
I have a boyfriend.
You have a boyfriend?
Yes.
Does Dan Soo know?
Yes, he does.
I was planning to tell him,
but he saw me when I was with my boyfriend.
I was hoping things would work out between you and Dan Soo.
Dan Soo and I are...
just friends, really.
We've been besties since we were little.
I see.
Hey, Snot Face.
Why didn't you give me the spicy tteokbokki you picked up?
What did you do with it?
Who told you that?
Audrey saw you.
What did you do with it? What a waste.
I guess there are no secrets in this neighborhood.
I don't know why you're sulking,
but stop sulking already.
If you keep sulking like a petty loser,
I will teach you a lesson!
Why? What?
Do you want a sparring match, then?
Maeng Gong Hee.
You will always stay by my side, right?
What? Are you still half asleep?
We're friends.
You consider me a friend.
What is with you?
Dan Soo, Gong Hee! Come and eat breakfast!
Seriously, what is with him these days?
You look much better now.
You should keep coming here.
Okay, I will.
Goodness. You stubborn girl.
Finally, you've come to a realization.
Do you now see...
who suits you better...
and what the right thing to do is?
You seem so excited now that your wish has come true.
But don't get the wrong idea, Mom.
I am not doing this to grant your wish.
I'm doing it because I want to.
So? What's your plan now?
I told you. I will marry Gu Dan Soo.
I'm curious...
how Min Gi would react when I get married.
Are you saying you will get married because of that loser? What is this?
What's wrong with it?
You want to make a business deal with my marriage too.
I should use it too.
I should consider the advantages I'll get from the marriage.
Yes.
Right now?
I'll come to you.
Okay.
Who was that?
Just someone you don't have to know all your life.
I'll be going now.
My goodness, that girl...
Who is she going to meet this time?
Is Min Gi your toy?
Why would you keep playing with him?
You must've heard that Gu Dan Soo and I are getting married.
That's right.
I came because I couldn't believe what I heard. Why?
You shameless girl.
Did you have fun fooling around with Dan Soo, casting Min Gi aside?
Are you happy to make a fool out of him?
I have a plan too.
"A plan?"
Is that so?
Let's hear how great a plan that is.
Min Gi can never leave me.
What?
He's just sulking right now. That's all.
If I tell him that I will marry Gu Dan Soo,
he'll realize...
he can't live without Kang Ji Na.
He'll feel it deep inside.
Hey!
Are you saying you'll keep playing with Min Gi's heart?
What kind of brat are you?
Seeing how you're shouting like an uncultured woman,
I can imagine the kind of education he must've gotten at home.
You don't have to deal with her. I'll take it from here.
This is your mom?
What's this?
Did you follow me?
You should just go about your day.
Will you waste your time dealing with this petty matter?
Where do you think you're going? Stay right there.
I don't think we can talk properly with my mom here.
I'll see you some other time in private.
Bye, then.
Hey!
You must be Manager Seo Min Gi's mother.
We've met before, haven't we?
I've heard people say this.
That a rags-to-riches tale never happens in real life.
That people who wear rags belong together.
How could someone in rags end up rich?
Are you saying that my Min Gi is a raggedy man?
Oh, my.
Is that how my words sounded to you?
I was trying to congratulate you.
What?
A mere chauffeur...
became the head secretary at such a big company.
I mean your husband.
Congratulations.
So,
the son of a chauffeur...
shouldn't think he deserves to have my Ji Na.
This darn woman. I can't believe what you're saying.
Why?
Will you throw that at me?
Go ahead, then.
If you can handle the consequences.
Why? Can you not do it?
I'm glad you know that you can't take me on.
Well, then.
Take good care of your son.
Oh, right.
Tell your son that I asked him...
to drive my Ji Na around...
safe and sound.
Hey!
Who does she think she is?
How infuriating.
My poor Min Gi. What do I do?
He was born to the wrong parents.
My Min Gi...
What will I do about my poor Min Gi?
Oh, what?
Where did my handkerchief go?
My Hermes.
Where did my Hermes go?
My Hermes...
This one... Right.
What's wrong with you? You keep spacing out.
What?
Oh, about Gong Boo...
I feel a little weird...
after we met with Hong Dan as a family.
Hey, things will sort themselves out when the time comes.
Don't worry too much. Okay?
Oh, right.
Hey, what's wrong?
- What is it? - Gosh, I think I burned my finger.
Hang on. Oh, dear.
Just stay there. Goodness.
Here. Put your hand in there.
Good.
Hey, why are you so out of it?
You've never gotten hurt while working all your life.
Hold on.
Here. Let's take this, and...
Here, give me your hand. Like this.
- Goodness. - What's this?
- It looks like a woman's. - Let me see.
What?
They say men are still kids even when they get older.
Oh, my...
But...
You don't have to do this.
Oh, well...
What is it?
Why are you blubbering and not saying anything?
Whose is this?
Well...
I can't live with this fury inside me.
When I'm feeling this angry,
I must read Mr. Ryu's poems.
"The confession that I love you."
"Could it be a cure to love?"
"Could it be a poison for love?"
"I cannot know its effect."
"It only depends on..."
"how the one holding it uses it."
"Without fear,"
"will you open the padlock of secrets..."
"and valiantly blow up that love to pieces?"
("Leaves in Your Heart" by Ryu Si Cheol)
"Will you keep it locked up inside your heart..."
"and choose a life sentence in love?"
"That choice is also..."
"your own to make."
Will you really not tell me where you got it?
I can tell it's a woman's.
Gosh, smell the perfume on that.
I don't know.
So, you'll continue to remain silent?
Hey, burn it up.
What? That'd be a waste.
It's perfectly fine.
But that scarf...
Isn't that an Hermes scarf?
It is. The finishing touches are done in the Hermes style.
What? Then, do you mean... Oh, my.
This piece of cloth is from a luxury brand?
It's very expensive if you buy it at full price.
I doubt that Dad bought it.
Did you pick it up off the ground?
Yes, that's right.
Well, in that case...
Oh, my.
My goodness.
You were getting so worked up over it,
but did you like it?
It's a luxury brand.
Mom, I'll buy you a much nicer one soon.
You? With what money?
I will...
get rid of my bothersome label as a temporary employee tomorrow.
What?
- What? - Oh, my.
She'll win a big award in a company-wide contest.
A huge award.
Then, will you become a permanent employee tomorrow?
Yes.
Goodness!
Good job, Gong Hee.
Goodness, my baby, Gong Hee. Good job!
I swallowed my food now.
Good job, my baby!
- Oh, my. - Dad, stop talking.
- Stop talking. - Okay.
My goodness.
Whose daughter is she?
Gong Hee is so smart.
I'm very proud of her.
She actually did it, at last.
Goodness. You nagged her like crazy...
to leave that company. Don't you remember?
Gong Hee persistently held out. You know?
Yes, totally.
I should flaunt my cooking skills. It's been a while.
We should throw a party to celebrate her promotion.
What are you so excited about at this early hour?
Have you not heard the news?
Word doesn't travel fast enough.
My niece, Gong Hee...
What about your daughter, who's a mere intern?
Hey! She's no longer just an intern.
My daughter is getting a permanent position.
Don't talk if you know nothing.
- Let's go. - Okay, let's go.
Goodness gracious.
- Did you see it? - They've announced the winner.
- Ms. Kang... - What? Look at that.
- I told you. - Yes, you were right.
- My, I'm so jealous. - Is something going on?
Why is everyone gathered around?
They announced the winner of the blind contest.
- I told you. - Right. Oh, isn't that it?
(Design Manager Kang Ji Na)
(Winner of Blind Contest, Design Manager Kang Ji Na)
My gosh, this is great.
Hey, come on.
Can you step aside, Gong Hee?
Congratulations.
- My gosh! Congratulations. - Congratulations, Ms. Kang.
- You rock. - Seriously.
- Congratulations. - Take us out for drinks.
- Shall I? - I totally knew this would happen.
- You're so cool. - My goodness.
- Seriously. - This is amazing!
My gosh. This is so cool.
Gong Hee, I know that you're brave with everything.
But this time, you were a bit too reckless.
But I'm sure you learned a lot from this experience,
so don't be too disappointed.
If you want to look for a new job, just let me know.
I can certainly find a good position for you.
What's the poem called?
Hey!
Keep an eye on your son.
Now that my daughter is a permanent employee too,
he'd better address her appropriately.
Don't get too ahead of yourself.
She just got rid of her temporary employee tag.
For her, it's the beginning.
My daughter has a bright future ahead of her.
What? Hold on.
My Hermes.
Why is that around your neck?
Why?
I gave it to Gyeong Tae.
What?
You gave him this?
Yes, I gave it to him.
That man...
He said he picked it up off the ground.
You like to covet what belongs to others.
You still haven't quit that habit?
"What belongs to others?"
Hey! Get your facts straight.
Why would you give your scarf to my husband?
He was coughing,
so I put it around his neck. That's all.
Whether my husband catches a cold or the flu,
why do you care?
Gyeong Tae and I grew up together as close friends too.
Is it a sin to worry about him?
It's not like I held his hand...
or hugged him.
I know what you're after.
Goodness. That's enough.
Aren't you used to this by now?
Why are you getting so worked up? Let's go.
I'm angry because she does this all the time.
Let me ask you something too.
How much longer will you treat me like this?
What's so wrong with putting a scarf around his neck?
A big petal fell on me from the sky.
I guess we'll skip winter and step straight into spring.
Oh, my.
Mr. Ryu, why are you so romantic?
Whose scarf is this?
My gosh.
It's mine.
Some ignorant woman tried to steal it from me,
so I was trying to protect my ownership rights.
You must cherish this scarf.
Protect it well.
I will, Mr. Ryu. Thank you.
(Kang Myung Ja's Book of Poetry)
Learning to find joy in your everyday life...
and learning about love through people.
That makes every one of us a poet.
Ms. Kang Ji Na is the winner? What happened?
Oh, that?
I thought Gong Hee was the winner. Am I wrong?
You said all the executives were leaning toward Gong Hee.
The decision came from the higher-ups,
so what can I do?
I heard the order came from the chairwoman.
So, just know that and let it go.
Don't go around complaining about it.
What's with the announcement?
There must've been a mistake.
What mistake?
Is there a problem with the announcement?
No. There are no problems, ma'am.
Grandma!
I am not going deaf yet.
Grandma, you praised Gong Hee's presentation.
I thought Ms. Kang's presentation was better than hers.
Mr. Seo, do you think it's strange that Ms. Kang is the winner?
Ms. Kang is a talented designer.
She certainly deserves to be the winner.
That is not what you said the other day!
The other day, you said you were leaning toward Gong Hee.
You and that intern must be pretty close.
All things aside,
I'm a good judge of character,
and I know a good design when I see one.
From the presentation to the design,
Ms. Kang totally lost that game.
You agreed with me the other day!
Why did you suddenly change the winner?
She will marry the heir of Jayce Group.
I just wanted to give her a career boost.
What other reason do I need?
So in other words,
you manipulated the result based on your personal feelings?
Ms. Kang will put wings on your back.
Besides, it's very easy to replace an intern.
Who says I want wings?
I don't need wings.
She'll marry me? I don't want to marry her!
I'll say this again. Mark my words.
I will not marry Kang Ji Na.
Gu Dan Soo!
- You need a woman like Ms. Kang. - No!
Listen carefully, Grandma.
The person I need is not Ms. Kang.
I refuse to get married like that. Also...
This rotten company. I quit.
Gu Dan Soo.
Gu Dan Soo!
I told Grandma...
that we're not getting married. You're in agreement, right?
Why are you notifying me of this? Why now?
Hey, don't you already know the reason?
What? "Hey?"
I am your superior at work.
I can't respect you as my superior because you don't act like one.
Your mother visited the chairwoman.
After that, they changed the winner.
Seriously, aren't you embarrassed?
If I were you,
I'd be too embarrassed to even walk around like this.
- Look, Mr. Gu Dan Soo. - At first,
I thought we were similar in some ways,
and there were moments when I thought I should date you.
But...
it's over.
As of this moment, there are no more dates for us.
Dan Soo, hear me out first.
I feel like listening to you will make my ears rot away.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Does this make sense to you?
I can't believe this, seriously.
Where did Gong Hee go?
Dan Soo, did you hear?
Gong Hee didn't win. Ms. Kang is the winner.
Gong Hee is not getting a permanent position.
Does this make sense to you?
Where is Gong Hee?
Gosh, I don't know. Where is she?
I saw her working away earlier with a pile of reports.
My gosh. She should just cry and let it all out.
My heart broke when I saw her holding it all in.
Why did Director Lee have to get her hopes up like that?
Seriously.
The person you have reached is unavailable. Transferring to...
Maeng Gong Hee, where on earth have you gone?
Gu Dan Soo.
Where are you going during office hours again?
Don't mind me. I won't work at this darn company.
- Follow me. - Let go.
Follow me.
Let go of me!
Why, you...
I told you not to act immature, didn't I?
I'm not the one that's immature.
Grandma crossed the line!
I'm sure you can see what is happening too.
The chairwoman will never go back on her word.
You know that too.
So, you'll simply give up beforehand?
Then, what about Maeng Gong Hee?
Gong Hee was going to be chosen,
but Kang Ji Na overturned it!
You have to think about Ms. Kang's perspective too.
Have you even thought about what people might say...
if they take back the contest results...
and put Gong Hee's design up instead of Ms. Kang's again?
That's strange.
Gong Hee isn't the one you're worried about.
I see that you're worried about Kang Ji Na,
Seo Min Gi.
Don't even call me for the time being.
I'm totally disappointed...
in you and Grandma.
What are you doing?
Just...
leave me alone.
What are you doing here?
I'm slacking off.
I learned this from you.
Let's go.
Come with me.
Hey.
Hey, wait.
Where are we going?
(My Merry Marriage)
Why aren't you answering?
Actually, I felt awkward around you.
You didn't seem like the friend I had known since my childhood.
Is it someone's birthday today?
Our dear Gong Hee got a promotion.
She got rid of her temporary employee tag...
and became a permanent employee.
I should congratulate Gong Hee.
- Congratulations! - You worked so hard, my girl.
