(Episode 17)
It was all that brat Gemma's doing.
That brat is trying to destroy me.
Those shoes were for her little brother's birthday,
but he died in an accident. That much I remember.
Sun Hee. What do I do?
What's wrong? Was that Lady Choi rude to you?
Did she not let you in?
No, that's not it.
I saw Gemma's mom, Min Hee Kyung, there.
What? Min Hee Kyung?
Of all the bad luck.
I was so shocked.
Tae Gil said he saw that woman in that house too.
Oh my gosh.
Do you think Gemma knows too?
She'll find out soon.
So this is the cross section of the new design?
Yes, sir.
We just need a nice cover design.
Proceed.
Yes, sir.
Wait a second.
We're short on designers working on this.
Send some designers from Lora.
What?
Okay. I'll think about it.
Soo Yeon wants to have lunch today.
Are you free?
Lunch?
I'm free. I'll see you then.
Come in.
That's right. They're your shoes.
It's you.
It was you.
Tell me.
Why did you do it?
You even sneak into people's rooms...
and steal from them, Ms. Min?
I said to tell me why.
You want to buy me off with this?
With this little?
They would've ended up in the trash, but I made them into designer shoes.
You should thank me.
How much will it take? How much do you want?
A million dollars?
Five million dollars?
No.
We can't ignore the brand's value,
so how about ten million?
You are one audacious kid.
I'm audacious?
You're the audacious one.
You audaciously stole my design and sold them as Lora's shoes.
Do you know what these meant to me?
Do you know what it took to make them?
Give me a break.
There were tons of designs. Yours was just slightly better.
You're a loser with nothing. You should just take the money.
Do you know what they call this?
Someone with nothing acting out.
I'm acting out?
Fine.
Since we've come this far, I'll show you what acting out is.
Do you want to call another press conference?
You like being on TV.
You piece of trash.
You may go.
What is it? You didn't say you were coming.
We said we'd have lunch together.
Hello, Mr. Kwon.
Hello.
Darn it. I'm going to lose my mind.
Why are they back here?
- I'll show you to the VIP room. - Okay.
I'm acting out?
Fine. Since we've come this far,
I'll show you what acting out is.
Do you want to call another press conference?
You like being on TV.
She's up to something else.
What could it be?
Her name was Kim Gemma, right?
The one who was in your office.
- Yes. - Is she good at her job?
She is.
Hee Kyung.
What were those shoes...
that she walked out with?
They're nothing.
Don't give me that. Both of you looked very serious.
Soo Yeon.
Stay out of my business and worry about yourself.
Why are you butting into other people's affairs?
Hello?
I completely forgot.
I'm coming.
I forgot I had plans.
Sorry. I need to go.
She acts like she is the busiest person in the world.
Find out everything you can.
As quickly as possible.
Give me a break.
There were tons of designs. Yours was just slightly better.
You're a loser with nothing.
You should just take the money.
Do you know what they call this?
Someone with nothing acting out.
I'm acting out?
Fine. Since we've come this far,
I'll show you what acting out is.
Do you want to call another press conference?
You like being on TV.
You piece of trash.
You are...
the trash, not I.
(Mom)
Hi, Gemma. It's Mom.
Do you feel better?
Yes. I'm all better.
I brought over pine nut porridge. Did you have some?
Did Lady Choi hide it because she likes it?
You're so silly.
It's nice to hear you laugh. I can relax now.
Mom. Get off the phone and have some watermelon.
Okay. Talk to you later.
Take care of yourself.
Okay, bye.
Have some. It's really sweet.
You eat up, my precious son.
Eat up, Tae Gil.
Why are you taking someone else's food?
Oh my gosh. Sun Hee.
Why are you hitting my precious son?
Because he tried to take something...
I gave to Tae Gil to eat.
You punk. Why are you trying to take your uncle's food?
Can't you just eat whatever?
Must you eat this?
My gosh. You only care about your son.
I'm so sad I don't have a son.
Not only do you not have a son,
but you also don't have a daughter, a son, a brother, a man.
Goodness gracious.
All you have is that big pot belly. That's all you have.
A lump of fat.
Hey! How could you say that to me?
You brat. Have you no respect for your elders?
I may have respect for my elders, but not for you.
Seriously. Why are you two still like this?
How are you exactly the same as you were 20 years ago?
You are seriously such a pain.
Okay. This is Ms. Kwon Hye Bin's design.
This is Kim Gemma's design.
What do you think?
I like Ms. Kwon's.
I like the bright colors, and it looks very modern.
I prefer Kim Gemma's.
The color is calming.
It looks more comfortable than something too bright.
We'll submit both and let the chairman decide.
Okay, next. The catalogue shoot for Lora's new product.
This time, we'll probably do a shoot with the mattress as well.
Ye Eun. Did you check with Mr. Jung?
I did, but he hasn't confirmed yet.
Rather than going with Mr. Jung,
what if you do the shoot yourself?
Me?
You're a skilled photographer, and you know the products very well.
Is that your personal opinion...
or are you nominating me based on objective facts?
It may be good to change the style since it's a new product.
Then it's set. Mr. Yoon will take the photos himself.
Gosh. Okay, I will.
I'll need an assistant.
Kim Gemma, you'll help me, won't you?
If you're upset about it, why don't you do it instead?
I guess not. People may get the wrong idea.
What wrong idea?
You always call Mr. Yoon by his first name...
and link arms with him anywhere.
It doesn't look so good.
This isn't a college campus.
Whatever. Why do you care?
Do you even know anything?
You've never stepped foot on a college campus.
How dare you?
"How dare you?"
Hey, kid. Did your parents make you a manager to pull this garbage?
- Put this in the trash can. - What...
- What are you doing? Let go! - Throw it away!
- Let go! What are you doing? - Throw it away.
- Do it! - You're crazy!
You should throw this in the trash can, ma'am.
Did something happen between you and Gemma?
Butt out!
Since when were you interested in me?
- Ma'am. - What? You think I don't know...
that you kiss up to me for good evaluation scores?
Isn't this one better?
It's modern and sophisticated.
Yes, I prefer this one too.
This is Kwon Hye Bin's design?
No, sir. This is Ms. Kwon Hye Bin's design.
- That is... - It's Kim Gemma's design.
- It is? - Yes, ma'am.
Should we go with Ms. Kwon Hye Bin's design?
No. Go with Kim Gemma's design.
Let's end the meeting here.
You must be busy. You may go.
Honey.
You could take your time. Why did you...
If I do, I'll become less objective.
It's obvious I'll be tempted to choose Hye Bin's.
This is business.
It's over if I can't be objective.
Hye Bin's wasn't bad.
We have to choose one.
- Honey. - That's enough.
You must remain impartial.
In business, if you lose that, you lose everything.
I've told you that again and again.
Hye Bin is your daughter.
This isn't like you.
The old Min Hee Kyung wasn't like this.
That's how you were able to grow Lora to what it is today.
You jerk.
Fine.
We'll do as you say.
Come in.
(Basic Certificate - Detailed)
(Name - Kim Gemma)
(Father - Kim Jung Guk, Mother - Min Hee Kyung)
(Resident Register)
(Kim Gemma)
(Kim Jung Guk's daughter)
(So Ok Kyung's daughter, Choi Sook Ja's daughter)
So Ok Kyung.
- Try it. - Okay.
I make a killer coffee.
I bet it tastes perfect.
It's delicious.
Okay, nice. Smile. One, two. Cut. Okay.
One, two.
Okay.
Lift your feet. Okay.
Okay. You're waiting for your boyfriend.
Nice. Okay. Smile. One, two.
Okay. Nice.
We'll try a different angle.
Okay. Nice. Come in.
Okay. One, two. That one is a test.
Nice.
- Are you busy? - Cheese. One, two. Okay.
I'll go to Yangsan later.
Nice. One more time.
Okay. One, two.
Okay. Three more times.
One, two, three. Okay, thank you.
Nice. One, two.
Good. Okay.
Let's take a ten-minute break.
Here.
Thanks.
What do you think?
This one looks the best,
but how about a different pose?
For example?
Rather than just lying there, looking lame,
how about having her sit sideways to enunciate the line?
Okay.
Like this. Something like this.
Then you can see the line of the shoe,
and it contrasts with the mattress design.
Hold on.
- Like this? - Let me try it.
Me?
It's nice.
Let's try it.
Thanks.
Okay. Put your leg up. Okay.
Let's go again. One, two.
One, two. Okay. Let's change the position.
Three more. One, two,
three. Okay.
Good work everyone.
Good work. Thanks. Good work.
Good work everyone.
Good work. Let me see.
This is much nicer.
We got a good one thanks to you.
It's thanks to your great photography skills.
We work so well together.
Should we quit and open a studio?
We'll probably go under in two months.
No. Maybe a month?
No. I'd give us two weeks.
How nice. You laugh together and praise each other.
What are you doing here?
I'm a manager. I came to see if everyone was doing their job...
and to show support.
What are you doing?
Give out the food to the staff.
Okay.
Did you bring food?
You seem to be having fun.
You work well with Gemma too.
Of course. We're perfect together.
I'm hungry.
Darn it.
(CEO Yoon Ki Seok)
Oh my.
Hi.
You look kind of cool.
Although I knew how well you fought when you took on those loan sharks.
I learned when I was young.
Some jerks teased and bullied me for not having parents,
so I wanted to make them pay.
I should've done that too.
Then I would've just...
Don't worry. I'll fight for you from now on.
- Did you have dinner? - I grabbed something quick.
Did you wait long?
I'm not sure. Did I?
That's why...
I brought a present.
Ta-da.
It's not from an expensive designer brand,
but I, Kim Gemma, made it personally.
That's the only one in the entire world.
That's what matters, right?
You can never lose it, okay?
How should I repay you?
The truth is...
I'm...
extremely hungry.
I want sundae and tteokbokki.
Gimbap and fishcake soup too.
Okay, let's go.
Who's there?
Hi. It's me, Grandma.
- Are you just getting home? - Yes.
Gemma, right?
- Yes, Grandmother. - Okay.
Wait a second.
Why are you coming together at this late hour?
We met out front.
It's late, so go to bed.
- Okay. - Good night.
Oh my.
Hi.
Let's see.
Let's open a studio.
Let's quit our jobs.
I'll give you a fat salary.
How much do you want?
I have to sleep, so stop texting me.
Plus, dream on.
I have zero interest in opening a studio.
It isn't "zero" interest.
Shouldn't you say "no" interest?
You are so lame.
I don't want to talk, so go to sleep.
This is a bonus for your help today.
You know my photos are pricey, right?
He's a total lunatic.
What are you, a paparazzi?
Paparazzi? Stop overreacting.
My works are kind of expensive,
but I won't charge you.
Since it's a gift.
Mommy's scent.
I like you more than anyone or anything in the world.
Have we...
met somewhere before?
Yes.
Yes...
It's Jin A.
She's Jin A.
Jin A knew...
that I was her mom who abandoned her.
Hye Bin is my only daughter.
Only Hye Bin is my daughter.
Only Hye Bin.
Hi, Mom.
No.
Mom.
No. You're not my daughter.
No.
What's wrong, Mom?
Mom.
Get away!
Mom.
Honey.
Are you okay?
What kind of a dream were you having?
You're sweating.
Mom? What's wrong?
Mom.
It's nothing.
My daughter's so pretty.
Mom!
Get it together. Snap out of it.
You need to get it together.
No... She's not my daughter.
No. She's not my daughter.
(Red Shoes)
Did you tell her...
that I was Lora's CEO?
To get into her rich mom's company...
and extort money from her?
You show up and that's what you say?
Do you smile and flirt with anyone?
He's yours. You can have him.
It's identical, isn't it?
I'll print it out and send it to you.
Fine. I'll do what you want.
I'll make it happen.
Mom.
