(Episode 20)
Hey, good morning.
Seeing your face every morning at work really annoys me.
But I love seeing your annoyed face.
Hey. I'll buy your office for three times the market price,
so leave this building.
Gosh. Would you do that if you were me?
Stop forcing others to do it.
You little...
Good morning, Mr. Nam.
Did you buy the coffee at the lounge?
Yes.
I bought one for you and Ye Kyung.
Gosh, thank you.
Hey. Does Shin Ye Kyung work at your company?
Yes. Our company landed with an outstanding worker,
thanks to your firing her.
Good grief.
What a bunch of miserable people.
Gathering losers like that sure is a miracle.
Director Shin Ju Kyung is getting released soon.
I will ask her to join us.
Is that so? Good luck with that.
Meeting me, Woo Hyuk,
Ms. Shin,
and your ex-wife in this building.
Goodness. Coming to work must be fun.
See you later.
Did you see his face?
Good grief. How do I kick those out?
They're really driving me nuts. How annoying. Seriously.
Why did you want me to come? I'm busy.
(Soro Gallery)
Are you still upset with me because of Soo A?
You don't make my meals, and you don't stay at home.
So what? Did you ask me to come here to talk about your meals?
No way.
What do you think about this building?
Why are you asking for my opinion?
Will you buy it for me if I tell you what I think?
Yes. That's my plan.
What?
Real estate is the best way to boost money in Korea.
I'm thinking of buying several buildings.
But do so under my name,
and the acquisition tax will be unbelievable.
So, one should be under your name.
Under my name?
How much is that building?
It's only 17 million dollars.
"Seventeen million dollars?"
It's quite small. But the location is great.
The price will more than double if you own it.
The small size doesn't matter.
You know I'm not that materialistic.
Don't you?
How do you feel? You'll be released in a few days.
I'm a bit nervous.
Despite being here for only a couple of months,
I'm worried about my future after getting released.
Don't worry about a thing.
Even if you end up alone in a desert,
you'll dig up a well, build a house, and live a good life.
But why hasn't Ye Kyung visited?
Isn't she back from her business trip?
Is she busy looking for a job...
after getting laid off from WJ?
She got a job.
Getting used to the new company is keeping her busy.
I see. That's good news.
You haven't met Soo A, have you?
No. It seems that the family is guarding her rigorously.
Gi Yun's requesting a restriction order against me.
I can't see her even if I get released.
You can watch her from afar and not get close to her.
Is there something you want to do after getting released?
Like what you want to eat.
Or a place you want to go.
I don't know. I haven't thought about it.
Come on. There are plenty of things I want to eat,
do, and places I want to go together once you're out of here.
(Keep Quiet)
I made a list.
Let's do all of those.
Really?
Pinky promise. After all, we're special to each other.
Pinky promise.
Hye Rim. How's Soo A doing?
Soo A's depression doesn't keep her gloomy all the time.
She's usually bright.
Gosh. I'm tired.
Hye Rim, let's wrap it up. I have to go home now.
All right. I need to prepare dinner as well.
Hold on.
Yes, Jaclyn?
Gosh, my daughter-in-law.
What would you like for dinner tonight?
Goodness. Why are they on good terms these days?
Got it. Come home safely.
Me, too. I love you, too.
Hye Rim. Something's up, right?
What are you getting from Jaclyn? Spill it.
It's nothing big.
She's giving me a building. But a small one.
How small is it?
It's only 17 million dollars.
"Seventeen million dollars?"
Good grief. So that's why you're being submissive.
You sold your soul for money.
Young Ran.
Aren't I the winner if I get a building worth 17 million dollars...
in exchange for my soul?
Ms. Kim. My daughter-in-law...
wants shabu-shabu today. Prep the ingredients now.
Okay. There.
Unit 1109.
Darn it.
Gosh. I've got nowhere to go after getting fired.
And acting is all I'm good at.
But I'm running out of money.
Even if I'm lonely and sad, I will not cry.
I will put up with it again and again.
What's the use of crying?
Goodness. Let's just get some water.
Gosh.
(NA Entertainment is looking for actors! Please apply.)
(NA Entertainment, 7th floor)
Actors for NA Entertainment?
Hold on. What? It's in this building.
Excuse me. Is this the agency looking for...
- Hey. Seung Pil? - Mr. Hwang?
- Mr. Hwang. - What?
How mean of you guys.
You should've reached out to me if you set up an agency.
We can't give you proper support.
As you can tell, we're badly off.
An actor like you needs good treatment.
I couldn't ask you to come when that wasn't possible.
Isn't Director Shin coming back?
Then, the agency will thrive in no time.
Hey. Can't you count me in?
We'd love to.
Listen.
I will open my second prime in this agency...
and bring WJ that kicked me out down a peg. Got it?
Okay. Let's do that.
Here. Dig in.
- Ms. Woo. - Yes?
They are so good!
- Gosh, thank you. Please dig in. - Okay.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you.
- Make sure to eat a lot. - Try the bulgogi.
- It's amazing. - Please enjoy.
The meat is tender.
Seriously.
Why must I go through all of this alone...
just because of Gi Yun's project?
Really.
My back hurts.
(Director Jaclyn Taylor)
Okay.
What brings you here?
I haven't seen you in ages.
Newlywed life must be fun.
Did you know?
Marriage out of business, not out of love,
is more exciting and interesting.
The divorce will also be clean-cut.
I can't understand why people would do...
such an obnoxious thing as love.
Look at Shin Ju Kyung.
She became penniless after loving a guy.
You better be prepared when Shin Ju Kyung returns from jail.
Why should I be scared of her? She has literally nothing.
She has a daughter with Gi Yun, while you don't.
Shin Ju Kyung will use Soo A to win Jang Gi Yun's heart?
Let her try it if she can.
Why is this woman calling me?
Yes, old lady?
Gi Yun had a lot to drink.
Come and pick him up.
Where are her manners?
Hey, Jaclyn. What brings you here?
You aren't drunk.
Jaclyn felt bad that I had to cook all alone,
so she offered to come and do the dishes for me.
Me?
She's such a kind-hearted woman.
Yes, she's such a supportive wife.
She must be tired, yet she wants to come and help me.
The kitchen is that way.
Did you call me...
- to make me do the dishes? - Yes.
I've been slaving away making food for people...
to help Gi Yun's business.
You should at least do the dishes if you're sensible in any way.
I've never done this before, so I can't do it.
Nobody is perfect from the start.
I need to get some rest.
Darn it. She's so annoying.
Goodness. Gosh.
Jaclyn is doing all those dirty dishes alone?
I wanted to help, but she insisted on doing it alone.
I never knew she was such a kind woman.
I must've had a misunderstanding.
It's wonderful to see you two get along.
Yes, it's wonderful.
What's that sound? My gosh.
Oh no!
What?
What are you doing?
- Hey. - Sorry. It slipped out of my hand.
I told you I wasn't good at it. I've never done it before.
My goodness.
No, this is my favorite dish.
How did you pick out only the nicest pieces to break?
- Did you do this on purpose? - I wouldn't do that.
No!
Hey.
Go.
- Go! - Let me finish this.
- I want to do it. - Let this go!
Let everything go.
Stop breaking my dishes and go!
- Go! - Please excuse us.
- Excuse us, sir. - Okay.
- Goodbye. - Yes, goodbye.
Gosh, I need to do something about that evil vixen!
Darn it. That girl.
How am I going to get my revenge?
Ye Kyung, will you walk to the office again?
It's an hour by foot.
Why do you always walk instead of taking the bus?
Ju Kyung will be released soon,
so I need to spend a lot of time walking...
so that I can walk as normally as I can.
Then she won't feel as heartbroken when she sees me.
Gosh, the love of these sisters is so touching.
- Where are you going? - I want to visit your office.
- And see Woo Hyuk? - That too.
I'm going to get his number today.
You still don't have his number?
I can give it to you.
No, my pride won't condone that.
I'll get through that defensive man and get his number today.
I hope you do.
Why did you want to see me? You don't have a thing to say to me.
Lift the restraining order you placed on Ju Kyung.
Is your ideal type of woman an ex-convict and a divorcee?
- What? - Well,
it must be easy to take advantage...
of an ex-convict and a divorcee who has a kid.
Have fun with her.
You jerk.
Darn it!
Darn it.
What are you doing?
I told you, didn't I?
Don't get so cheeky with me!
And stop poking around!
From now on, I hope...
you behave.
Okay?
Darn it.
Jang Gi Yun.
I'm putting a restraining order on you.
I'll protect Ju Kyung from now on.
(Correctional with hope for a better tomorrow.)
Ju Kyung.
Here.
What is this? You got me flowers, not tofu?
That's too cliche.
Hop in. It's NA Entertainment's car.
Today, you can follow the schedule I put together.
- Are we seeing Soo A too? - Of course.
What happened to your face?
Don't mind that. I fought against 17 people alone.
And I won!
This was the children's home Ye Kyung and I lived in.
She's waiting for you. You should go inside.
I'll wait here.
- Ye Kyung. - Ju Kyung.
What happened to you?
That was why you didn't visit.
You were already stressed out,
so I didn't want to add to your trouble.
Do you know why I called you here?
We grew up here bravely and never lost our courage,
so let's keep living with that bravery.
To me, you're my mom,
my everything.
Yes, let's do that.
(Bora Kindergarten)
Soo A.
My Soo A.
No, you can't break your restraining order.
(Bora Kindergarten)
Mommy!
Hey, Soo A.
Mommy!
Hey.
Soo A...
She doesn't recognize you.
I'm sorry.
How does that feel?
What have you two done to her?
What did you do to stop her from recognizing me?
She dreaded you as much as I did, so she forgot about you.
Think of how badly that girl wanted to forget...
that her mom was a criminal who went to prison.
Look what happened to her.
She forgot about you...
and began to do better, thinking I was her mom.
So stop lurking around us.
Soo A! Mommy will be there soon.
If she couldn't remember her mom, you should've helped her.
How can you separate them like this?
Just giving birth to the kid doesn't automatically make her a mother.
Only people qualified as moms should be called such.
You're far from qualified as a mom.
Jang Gi Yun is right.
Soo A is suffering from depression because of me.
Because I have failed to protect her.
Just as Gi Yun said, I'm not qualified as a mom.
You're more than qualified as one.
You two were apart because of an inevitable situation.
And because Gi Yun didn't look after Soo A well,
she lost her memories of you.
Soo A's depression.
You didn't cause it. Don't blame yourself too much.
Will Soo A be able to remember me one day?
I'm scared that day...
won't come.
I assure you that Soo A will remember you.
Really?
I will wait until Soo A starts calling me...
mom again.
Drink it.
Soo A. Your native English teacher will come in ten minutes.
Go prepare for it.
- Okay. - Great.
Aren't you busy? So how did you pick Soo A up?
Today is Shin Ju Kyung's release date from prison.
I went to Soo A's kindergarten in case she might visit.
And there she was, not moving an inch from her kindergarten.
What?
She went to see Soo A despite the restraining order?
Is Ju Kyung not scared of anything?
Well, that's why she committed a crime and went to jail.
Shin Ju Kyung will never appear in front of Soo A again.
Gi Yun and I humiliated her right in front of Soo A.
Good job.
A lowlife like Ju Kyung should never mess with us.
Simply breathing the same air as that wench...
lowers our dignity.
- Here! - Welcome!
- Welcome!
Gosh, welcome back. You had it tough.
That's your desk.
My desk?
But as an ex-convict, I won't be of any help to the company.
Weren't they false charges?
Do you believe I was charged with false accusations?
I do. I have had the same experience.
Okay. Let's see if you're helpful to us or not as you work.
I...
Shake hands. Done.
Let's take a photo...
to celebrate Director Shin's successful recruitment.
- Sure. - Here. Ye Kyung.
I won't...
- Come on. - Take it, Ye Kyung.
- Gather around. Come here. - I...
- Move. Good. - Gosh.
Okay. Smile!
(Sunju Studio Apartment)
Is this where you live?
Yes. I'm staying with Hyunta as her manager.
It's small. But you can live with us until you find a place.
Good grief. Woo Hyuk is really going all out...
to feed Ju Kyung delicious food.
My love.
I will do everything you want.
What are you doing?
I told you to move the food to the table. Move it.
Oh, I'm doing it right now.
Gosh.
How can I imagine our marriage life even before asking him out?
I knew we were meant to be.
Look. As today is a special day together...
with Ju Kyung, I have prepared this.
Nice. I had them at the store last time.
And they were beyond good.
All right.
My goodness. It's melting in my mouth.
Beef is the best meat.
- It's good. - It's exploding in my mouth.
Right?
Ju Kyung. Dig in.
Great. Gosh.
What the heck? Why is he only caring for her?
Good gracious. What's this in the morning?
Are you here to see me?
(Top Star Gateway: WJ Entertainment)
Be honest with me.
Is this because you still have feelings for me?
In your dreams.
I'm working for NA Entertainment on the seventh floor.
What? "NA Entertainment?"
Is NA Entertainment a group of ex-convicts, or what?
From the CEO who went to jail for embezzlement to you?
Goodness. The actors are Mr. Nobody Jung Woo Hyuk,
the washed-up Mr. Hwang with zero cast demands,
and the manager is... Gosh.
Your sister with a bad leg.
Really. It will take more than a miracle to gather...
a bunch of lousy pieces of trash like that.
We're nothing compared to you,
the real lousy piece of trash.
Right.
- Teach me. - It's here.
What?
- Okay. - Gosh.
Why are you all getting on from the same floor?
We need to get some morning coffee and bread...
to get us started for work.
People with nothing to do...
go overboard in the morning with their coffees.
What did you just say?
What was it? "Go overboard?"
This is going overboard, no?
Let's face it. You're jobless, no?
"Let's face it?"
Hey! Whether I'm jobless or not is none of your business.
Don't fight with him.
- He's not worth it. - What?
- Ju Kyung. - Yes?
Did you see the audition notice for "Intimate Savages?"
Yes. I was about to tell you about it.
Hey. Isn't Mr. Hwang's son getting married? Are you going?
- Of course. - Yes.
- Let's go together. - I can't make it.
- No way. - You have to go.
- It's hot. - The morning drama...
- Yes, that one! - It's really interesting.
- Isn't it? - Yes.
You watch it, too?
- Hey. The door is open. - I enjoyed it, too.
- Oh, it's hilarious. - Right?
- That little... - Enough.
Seriously. Darn it!
(Elevator Inspection)
(Out of Service, Inspection Scheduled)
Today's not my... Gosh.
Darn it.
Good gracious.
How...
annoying!
Why does that Rude American always come to the company?
Because I have business here.
Do you think I'm you, short lady,
who comes to the office to kill time?
What?
Oh, I see.
You'll have to come to the office every day.
Now that Gi Yun and Ju Kyung are working in the same building,
you have no choice but to feel anxious and come.
Shin Ju Kyung is working here? What do you mean?
My goodness. Have you not heard?
Ju Kyung is working on the seventh floor of this building.
You better watch out.
If Gi Yun and Ju Kyung fall in love again...
and get back together while working in the same building.
What will you do?
They had a child and lived under the same roof for ten years.
Old lady.
Don't talk about private matters in front of the workers.
If I told the others you made your daughter, Bit Na, study abroad...
at a young age because she sucked at studying.
Will you be happy about it?
You! You really...
Must you be childish and bring my child into this?
My gosh. I didn't want to expose it, but I did unconsciously.
Goodness. That rude wench.
How do you feel?
About working in the same building as your ex-wife.
It irritates me to my core.
Why does Shin Ju Kyung keep hovering around you? It bugs me.
I will crush her completely.
I'll stop NA Entertainment from getting any work...
and make them shut down.
Good. Trample all over her...
and get her out of our sight.
I'll make sure I do that.
This is so annoying.
What will Gi Yun do from now on?
What about Gi Yun?
Shin Ju Kyung came to see Soo A as soon as she was released...
and stressed him out.
And now, she says she'll work for a company in his building.
What?
She's going to work in the same building as Gi Yun?
He says he's about to go crazy whenever he runs into her.
She's like a leech.
It looks like...
she's doing whatever it takes to get back with Gi Yun.
Not a chance.
Leave this to me.
Mother.
You should live quietly in remorse after your release from prison.
Why do you continue to lurk around Gi Yun?
You need to quit working here now!
Why can't I work wherever I like?
Get a job somewhere else!
Get lost somewhere far away...
from this building where Gi Yun works!
You need to quit immediately.
Stop hanging around him...
and clinging to him like a leech!
Don't get near him and stay far away!
You need to stop!
Hye Rim, you shouldn't do this. What's wrong with you?
Young Ran, she keeps clinging onto Gi Yun...
to ruin his life!
- Goodness! - Ms. Hong!
I'll call the police if you don't stop.
- Stop it. - I'm going to put an end to this!
I'll put an end to this problem!
- I'll keep coming back! - Hey.
I'll keep coming if she doesn't quit this job!
Mother!
I won't quit even if you come every day.
And I'm no longer your daughter-in-law.
You have no right to treat me with disdain.
You've become outrageous after serving time in prison.
Stop talking back at me and quit this job now!
You!
You should leave while I'm patient.
I will not let you or Gi Yun...
harass me anymore.
(The Elegant Empire)
Soo A, do you not remember Mommy's face?
She may not remember my face...
because there's a possibility of abuse at home?
Jang Gi Yun, I can't let you raise her...
now that I know you're abusing her.
Stop. Do not take another step.
I'll give Soo A a harder time...
if you keep getting on my nerves.
