(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)
(A Good Friend to Meet)
Well, Yong Star is my only contract term.
So for all future broadcasts with MS Homeshopping,
I want Yong Star to be in them.
Why are you so surprised?
I told you that I'd bring Yong Star into the United States.
And you know what?
No matter how much I think about it, it could be only you.
It's great to be working here again, right?
What?
Why not? Okay, I'll do it.
As expected. You're so cool.
So, shall we draw up a contract?
Mr. Weaver. Yong Su Jeong was already fired from our company.
Ms. Choi.
So you can't accept my terms?
Well, then this contract...
I can't do it.
Okay. Mr. Weaver?
Our company also has many outstanding show hosts.
No. This is exactly what I discussed with the CEO of Dangmidang.
Dangmidang's hangwa is going to be the first...
K-dessert that I introduce in the United States.
And it has to be with Yong Star.
Otherwise, you're going to have to find another home shopping channel.
No problem. I'll accept it.
Let's sign a contract, Mr. Weaver.
Director.
Ms. Choi. How dare you counter him?
Okay, Mr. Weaver. Let's go in and talk.
Join us, Ms. Yong.
Please.
Ms. Choi.
You wait out here.
Okay. Let's listen to her as well.
Wouldn't you be uncomfortable working at your laid-off job?
Yong Star. Are you uncomfortable?
No, not at all. I will do my best.
- Nice. - I don't feel uncomfortable at all.
Leave it to me, and I'll record your highest sales ever.
Yong Star, charming as always. Did you all hear that?
We know.
Ms. Yong. Did you say "our highest sales ever?"
We also have a risk to our company to continue broadcasting...
with an employee who has been fired.
Well, why don't we decide after looking at the results...
of the special broadcast?
What do you think about that?
What do you think, Yong Star? Are you confident?
You should factor in the unit price.
Food items have a lower unit price, so I'd like to go with units sold.
You're confident?
Okay. Director Joo,
add that to the contract as a special clause.
Okay.
Good.
Well, I'll be counting on you, Yong Star.
It's all you from now on.
Don't worry. Rest assured.
(Episode 45)
I had no idea.
A mugwort friend introduced us,
and I gave him a tour of some Korean dessert cafes.
"A mugwort friend?"
Oh, the CEO of Dangmidang.
She's a member of my mugwort gathering.
"A mugwort gathering?"
We gather mugwort and make rice cakes during the spring...
and have fruit punch in the summer and so on and so forth.
We host bazaars and donate the proceeds too.
You had a pretty interesting life.
I took part because it was fun. I didn't know it would benefit me.
It's a good thing that you got to work again,
but why did you make that kind of guarantee?
Most units sold...
It won't be easy.
You don't gain anything without a risk.
I'll see how things go.
I just go whatever happens.
(CEO Min Kyung Hwa)
Yong Su Jeong's quite something.
She managed to land a great opportunity.
Do you think this is funny, Mr. Jang?
I called her over to crush her, but she had to show up just then.
How does James Weaver know her?
I feel like a ghost is pranking me.
It's possible that Director Joo chose a great partner.
What?
It's just a joke.
I heard about the special clause.
What are you so worried about?
If this takes off,
we might have to create a show around Yong Su Jeong.
As if that would happen.
We never sell more than a certain number of food products.
She's going to sell hangwa.
I don't get why things are going so wrong.
Woo Jin looks like he wants to use this project to score big.
Why should Yong Su Jeong get involved?
Ask the chairwoman to put a stop to it.
While you take a step back.
Let her take the credit?
Shall I do that?
(Director's Office)
Sorry. I'd like to drive you home, but I have a lot to do.
You should get back to work.
You must have a lot of negotiating to do with your US counterpart.
Thanks for being understanding.
Good luck preparing for the broadcast.
You can do it.
Go on back inside.
I was wondering why you hadn't shown up yet.
What did you do? How do you know James Weaver?
Any news on your transfer? Are you going to the Philippines or not?
How do you know James Weaver?
He is my friend.
You know what a friend is, right? It's something you don't have.
As you know, I'm going to be busy from now on.
Stay on your toes, keep your eyes wide open,
and watch what I do. Okay?
Darn you!
Treasure your throat.
We can talk quietly.
You're so noisy.
(Director Joo Woo Jin)
Did you put in a good word for me?
I did.
And she's still treating me so coldly?
It's not the right time to brag about your accomplishments.
Should I just let myself get pushed aside?
Have you stopped caring about me now that Yong Su Jeong's back?
Su Jeong only got back her rightful place.
You don't care that I'm getting pushed aside,
and you're pleased Su Jeong's back?
Call Dangmidang and make sure we have enough for tomorrow's show.
Don't cause trouble in the middle.
What do you mean by that?
You know what I mean.
Let there be no mishaps.
Be a true professional until the day you leave.
Joo Woo Jin.
I must see you kneel before me and beg.
I'll make you say no one will do but me.
Yeo Eui Ju.
You're home already?
Brother Yong.
Did you go to see Ms. Min?
How do you know that?
Why did you even go there?
She wanted to see me, so I had to visit.
She had a lot to say about yesterday.
Are you at her beck and call? It's obvious what she'd say.
Why visit when you knew she'd be horrible?
You're usually fine, but you turn stupid when it's about them.
You're right. She wasn't exactly nice.
What did she say?
Did she threaten you or something?
No. She said something about me dreaming of being Cinderella.
Those people...
This is why I hate them.
Don't get too upset. Something great happened too.
Let's go inside. I can't wait to tell everyone.
- Come along. - What...
(Welcome All Guest House)
So you got to host a show because of that American person?
Yes. He's the CEO of a huge US home shopping network.
If I do well and reach the sales goal, I might get to stay on.
Very, very good, fantastic, amazing, elegant.
I thought he was a jobless traveler.
Ms. Lee, will you pinch me?
What?
Why pinch and twist?
It's not a dream but a painful reality.
Yong Su Jeong, are you not jobless anymore?
No, I have a job again. Hooray.
Why the long face?
Are you not pleased that I was successful?
I'm going to my room.
What? What's up with him?
Hey.
What's up with you?
Aren't you pleased that I get to do what I'm best at as you wanted?
It's Masung Group.
That's why you didn't tell your dad the company name.
Well, yes. But...
They fired you twice.
Do you want to go back there?
I love that it's Masung Group.
What?
Choi Hye Ra is there.
You know what that means, don't you?
What do you think you can do now?
I don't know,
but out of sight, out of mind.
I can't fight someone unless we're in the same ring.
"Out of sight, out of mind" doesn't apply to this situation.
Well, Min Kyung Hwa made a nasty face...
when James insisted he wanted me...
to host the show and that was exhilarating.
Wait and see. I'll nail the show...
and make Choi Hye Ra and Min Kyung Hwa bawl their eyes out.
Okay. What more can I say?
You won't cheer me on?
You'll do fine.
Keep your steely gaze and do your thing.
"Good luck."
Fine. "You'll do great. Good luck."
- Nice. - Goodness.
You can hand it over now.
What?
Ms. Lee said you got me a present.
What present?
You don't have to be embarrassed. Give it to me.
Why would I get you a present?
Mom went and said something silly.
You really didn't get me anything?
Darn it. I got my hopes up.
If you're bored, skip rope before bed.
Don't whine about your puffy face in the morning.
Darn you.
Goodness...
It's too awkward to give it to her now.
You said you had an important meeting. Did it go well?
I'm going to bed. Leave me alone.
What is it?
Did things not work out?
Nothing's working out these days.
What is it? Talk to me.
What can you do if I tell you?
Yes. Yong Su Jeong ruined everything.
I told you. Are you happy now?
Hey. Why would her name come up?
What did she do now?
She stole the deal I worked so hard to get.
I have to watch her host a show tomorrow.
What?
I have too much on my mind, so just leave me alone.
Darn it.
If she were to know Joo Woo Jin asked to marry her...
What should I do with her?
I couldn't find proof that they'd been seeing each other...
for all of those 20 years.
This isn't enough.
This is really my last chance.
Yong Su Jeong?
Why is she back?
He insisted he wouldn't do the deal without her.
I set it up so that we could decide depending on how tomorrow's show goes.
It's a huge deal, so we can't go back on it.
Don't even say that.
Don't you know how big a problem this would be if we did that?
Why wouldn't I know that?
Woo Jin worked so hard to get this deal.
He's still in his office working.
I bet he's working hard for Yong Su Jeong.
No, Woo Jin didn't know she was involved.
I don't know how she met James Weaver,
but it was announced so suddenly.
What shall I do?
Let's think about it.
Okay.
Please make a wise decision, Mother.
Good night.
Goodness.
How did Yong Su Jeong...
get her fangs into that CEO?
- What? - How dare you answer like that?
Shouldn't you be asleep?
Come over tomorrow.
I want to ask you something.
My gym director will tell me off.
I left my post too often already to meet with you.
Do you want me to buy out the gym?
If your director complains, tell him I'll buy the whole building.
Don't complain.
It's about Yong Su Jeong.
Chair...
What does she want to say now?
Gosh...
Mom. I'll be on TV again tomorrow.
Watch over me and help me do well.
Hye Ra.
Shouldn't you be ready for work?
Why are you like this?
Did you sit here like this all night?
Hye Ra.
Is it morning already?
I need to shower.
Goodness.
What if she really loses her mind?
What's this?
It's Jang Myung Chul and the CEO.
Why does she have these photos?
His daughter's withering away...
while he's up to no good.
I have a job. Don't call me whenever it suits you.
I said I could buy your gym.
Quit telling jokes that only you find funny.
That's what we call lame.
What?
Why did you call?
What about Brother Yong? Get to it.
Woo Jin said...
he wanted to marry Su Jeong.
Have you heard?
I didn't just hear. I saw it for myself.
He said it in front of everyone.
The moron.
What about it?
I heard she was going to host a show today.
Are you going to stop her?
I won't see you again if you do.
Can you not jump to conclusions?
You and Ms. Min have a track record.
Tell me what she's like.
I want to know why Woo Jin likes her.
What kind of charm does she have?
There must be a reason even the CEO of a US company...
wants to work with her.
Brother Yong?
She is troublesome.
She has a quick temper and is helpless.
She's troublesome?
Yes. She makes you anxious if you get to know her.
She can be infuriating too.
But what you see is what you get.
"What is she thinking?"
"What does she think about me?"
You don't have to wonder.
Why? Because she says if she likes or dislikes something.
That's her charm?
Think about it, Chairwoman.
Have you ever treated someone without making calculations?
Darn you.
She's a good person. You'll see that.
So don't bully or give her a hard time because she's dating Joo Woo Jin.
And let her do her show.
Do you think it's easy to find talent like that?
Okay.
I was going to do that anyway.
I'll give her a shot.
Then I'll let her return and see what she's like.
In case she can do Woo Jin some good by being around him.
You made the right call.
I'm going to drop by the studio later.
Will you come along?
Why would I bother?
Don't you want to see for yourself how well Yong Su Jeong does...
at the studio where it all happens?
My presence won't make a difference.
Well,
I think it might.
You can go now.
If your gym director complains, call me.
Let's see if Yong Su Jeong will work as a good piece of bait.
Hello. How are you all?
- Su Jeong. - Su Jeong.
Why are you so surprised? Let's welcome the friendly face.
Welcome, Ms. Yong. You look great.
Don't I? I had a nice break doing nothing but eating.
Good for you.
Those remaining can keep things going.
Su Jeong. How do you know James Weaver?
Are you so nosy you have connections abroad too?
(Dangmidang)
Hey.
How does it feel to be back under the spotlight?
It's awesome.
Let's do great and make it a hit.
Don't go too far, okay?
Why would I do that?
I'm the new Yong Su Jeong who was reborn.
"The new Yong Su Jeong?"
I like that a lot.
- Good luck today. - Thanks.
Let's sell out.
Su Jeong.
Should I call you the new Ms. Yong?
- Are you ready? - You bet I am.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- I hope we do well. - We will.
Let's do it.
Be sure to keep that in mind.
I'll give her a shot.
Then I'll let her return and see what she's like.
In case she can do Woo Jin some good by being around him.
That's it.
What is it now?
What happened in that eventful household of yours?
Nothing happened.
What do you want me to do?
Why ask me that? Don't you have a session?
A session?
I have a lot of cancellations today.
Then exercise on your own.
If you don't feel well, do you want to go home?
No, I'm just fine.
Director.
(Kook's Gym)
Wait.
What can I do there anyway?
Is her nosiness contagious?
Why...
What perfect timing. Get in.
- I'm... - Let's watch the show.
It'll have started by now.
Don't you think Su Jeong should have someone on her side?
Hop in.
K-food is branching overseas.
You know it's old to ask foreigners if they know kimchi, right?
Now you can ask this.
"Do you like K-desserts?"
MS Homeshopping partnered with Weaver Home Shopping in the US...
to bring you the Korean dessert series.
This very broadcast is airing live in the US right now.
Shall we greet our US friends?
Hey, guys. I'm Yong Su Jeong.
As you can see, today we're selling...
a traditional drink, hangwa, and rice cakes.
Who are you?
It's me, punk.
Geum Han Yang?
When did you return from the US?
Sit down. We must discuss something important.
I don't have much time. Get to the point.
As if you're busy.
You need to...
do me a favor, however busy you are.
Listen, Geum Han Yang.
Our deal ended 30 years ago.
After all the trouble I went to to send you abroad,
you should've stayed there.
Why did you come back?
Joo Woo Jin.
He's dating Yong Su Jeong, isn't he?
What?
How do you know that?
Why would you mention that?
You must break them up.
No. Kick out Yong Su Jeong before then.
Make her leave the country. No.
Make sure to send her to outer space.
You show up out of the blue to say nonsense...
If not, your daughter will die.
What?
Choi Hye Ra.
Ms. Choi the team leader.
She's our daughter.
Do you see all this?
These hangwa are so pretty but let me taste them for you.
(Dangmidang)
It's so tasty. My goodness.
I see why people line up before they open.
There's a social media craze about people lining up outside Dangmidang.
Place an order now...
and you won't have to line up anxiously at dawn.
Dangmidang's traditional drinks, hangwa, and rice cakes will be sent...
to your door so you can enjoy them at home.
That goes for you in the US too.
Director, how much do we have left?
Oh, my gosh. We almost sold out?
I guess she was born to do this.
We'll sell out soon.
What are you left with if you hesitate?
Regret.
- Call right now. - Don't you...
- want to be here too? - The time is almost up.
- The models... - At the site where it happens.
Choosing good products to promote and sell them.
Doesn't seeing Yong Su Jeong act like a fish in water...
make you wonder what other charms she has?
What? We sold out the stock we secured for today's show?
My gosh. Thanks so much, everyone.
I don't believe it. Thank you.
I owe it all to you. Thank you so much.
I love Weaver Home Shopping. I love MS Homeshopping.
I won't get too greedy or pushy.
You can do what job you want.
We'll bring you more K-desserts.
Look forward to the next show. Thank you.
We sold out!
Congratulations on selling out.
Good job, guys.
Well done. That was awesome.
- Good for you. - Gosh.
Well done.
(The Brave Yong Su Jeong)
I'll set up a Yong Su Jeong show.
I'll make it a show big enough to represent our company.
Eui Ju seems to be interested in the home shopping business.
Why don't you teach him, Woo Jin?
Don't you see she's using...
Yong Su Jeong's return to bring Eui Ju into the company?
Don't you see...
you and your mom are unwelcome and displeasing?
Quit doing things you don't want your kid to find out about...
and save your daughter.
Let's talk, Ms. Choi.
