(Episode 37)
(PB Beverage Product Idea Presentation)
Here are the samples!
- The samples! - The samples are here.
- Nice. - That's great.
The samples look great.
Yes, they look better than the design drafts.
- Are these from the Yongin factory? - Yes.
I knew it.
Is this it for the samples?
Have we received everything?
Yes, we received everything that was prepared.
We double-checked everything.
Gosh, it'll begin soon. Where is he going?
Yeong I isn't here yet either.
I'm not surprised.
Ms. Kim.
Mr. Jang and I are not in a relationship that you think...
What are you talking about?
I'm demanding what is mine.
You see, this outfit...
Auntie Hwa Kyung gave me this.
She said you were getting rid of some clothes for the charity event.
I thought you knew.
I'm sorry if it upset you.
I'll get it dry-cleaned and return it to you right away.
No, just throw it out.
I do not wear clothes that someone else has worn.
Besides, think about what you did to me.
I'm still offended, so I'll throw it out anyway.
What I did to you?
You keep talking as though I wronged you.
What on earth did I do to you that you keep treating me like this?
As for Mr. Jang, I already told you that you got the wrong idea.
Oh, I see.
So you did nothing, and I just got the wrong idea?
I think you keep doing things that give me the wrong idea.
Me? When?
You're glued to him in front of me.
You contact him personally as if you want me to see it.
To top it all off,
you met him on the weekend, and he even gave you a flower.
I told you about the relationship between me and Kyung Jun...
and asked you to be careful.
In return, I wasn't going to tell anyone that you have a child.
I didn't want you to lose your chance to land a permanent position.
I was so considerate of you.
How could you blindside me like this?
Ms. Kim.
My secret...
You don't have to keep it to yourself.
What? What did you say?
Are you saying you don't care if others at work...
find out that you have a child?
That's right.
I didn't hide it on purpose.
I just didn't need to tell anyone.
If I must put up with you...
getting the wrong idea about me...
and saying such harsh things to me just because I have a child,
go ahead and reveal it.
Are you saying I'm using your weakness to pick on you?
What you said just now...
Are you sure you won't regret it?
Yes.
Ms. Lee.
Are you in there?
Ms. Lee!
How is it that they made everyone's sample but ours?
It's not that it hasn't arrived yet?
It was never made?
That can't be. We called them a few days ago to double-check.
It should've never happened, but it did.
I have to go somewhere.
You two, please go in without me.
It will begin shortly. Where are you going?
Missing the presentation will cost you more points...
than not having a sample, don't you think?
I'll be right back.
If our turn comes before I return,
just start the presentation.
You can do it, right?
Yes, I'll figure something out.
You'll be late. You should hurry.
We'll now begin the presentations...
for the PB beverage product ideas, which are part of...
the intern team competition for the 2nd half of 2022.
First and foremost, we'd like to thank President Jang,
Vice President Cha, and the board members who are here today.
We'll follow the order decided by the preliminary draw.
The HR team will go first.
(Waiting Area)
Hello. I'm Yoo Yeon Ju, an HR intern.
Where did Kyung Jun go?
It's not like he can get a sample made now.
He should just give the presentation without the sample.
- TS' existing PB products... - I'm not sure.
He just said he'd be back shortly.
While discussing various ideas, we stumbled upon an article...
about beverages made with organic ingredients.
Mr. Jang, where are you?
The first team's presentation has begun.
We're next, so we have about ten minutes left.
I'm really nervous.
I don't know where you went and why you had to leave,
but I'll trust you and wait for you.
(I'll trust you and wait for you.)
Yes, sir.
Only the food product development team's sample didn't get made.
I'm trying to find out who gave such an order.
You don't even need to look into it.
Only one person in the family would make such a cowardly move.
So?
Baby Chick... No. Where is Kyung Jun now?
The courier was taking too long, so Kyung Jun went there himself.
But...
his team has to present shortly. Will he make it back in time?
I'm sorry, sir. I should've paid more attention.
They're determined to ruin things for him.
You couldn't have prevented this.
Well...
You said I could watch the presentations in real time.
Yes, on the intranet channel.
I'll send you the link.
Just sit back and watch.
I trust that Kyung Jun...
will figure it out.
I'll set it up so you can watch it on TV.
Have a warm cup of tea first.
In fact, the organic food market in Korea is also growing.
According to our market analysis,
we believe that we should focus on infants...
and young children who are sensitive to chemical fertilizers...
Ms. Lee, can you not reach Mr. Jang?
Your team has to present shortly.
I'll start the presentation.
We included the detailed design in our slideshow,
so they'll understand the idea even without the sample.
At the moment, all-natural PB products...
Don't be intimidated.
You're strong, Ms. Lee.
We think this will prove our competitive edge.
That's it for our presentation.
Thank you.
It tastes good, but it's nothing new.
Right.
It's a shame.
A good PB product has to be unique.
The food product development team is next.
Come on out.
(Waiting Area)
Hello.
I'm Lee Yeong I, a food product development intern.
(Jang Kyung Jun, Lee Yeong I)
Before our presentation, I'd like to tell you...
about my experience at the convenience store...
where I worked for three years before I joined the head office.
- What is she doing? - How did she even get in?
I met many regular customers while working there,
but the one I remember the most was the visually impaired.
She was able to do most things on her own,
but she struggled when deciding which beverage to get...
because she couldn't tell whether the one she picked...
was a fruit juice, tea, or soft drink.
She had to completely rely on luck.
I bet you're all wondering what I'm talking about now.
She's rambling on.
I'll tell her to move on to the actual presentation.
Leave her be.
Then...
please look at the screen. I'll explain them one by one.
The secret of beverages you'd never know...
unless you had a disability.
(Your Name Is)
The name...
of our PB beverage product idea project...
is "Your Name Is."
You got it?
We could use more samples, but this would do.
Thanks, Soo Wan.
Had you not put me in touch with that factory,
this wouldn't have been possible.
Win the competition and buy me dinner.
The presentation has begun. Hurry.
I'll head in first.
First, I'll show you...
the braille on the existing beverage products.
What is it that you'd like to show us?
All I see is a blank screen.
- What's going on? - I'm not sure.
This is...
It looks like there's a glitch in your file or something.
Then you should show us your sample first.
We can't make an exception for you and give you more time.
For some reason, only our sample didn't get made.
How did he get them?
I'm sorry I'm late.
You can leave your flash drive with me.
First, we apologize for not being better prepared.
But I have to say, it's so odd.
Only our sample got delayed,
and our slideshow isn't working either.
Do you think we're just having a bad day?
I'd like to hear what you all think.
What do you think, Ms. Vice President?
If you just blame your luck,
you'll never improve.
Thank you for your answer.
Just like how my team was robbed of the right...
that everyone else had,
the visually impaired had to give up on the right...
to choose the kind of beverage they wanted,
a right that we take for granted.
We want to make sure they wouldn't have to blame their luck...
when they drink something they didn't want,
by writing the exact product names in braille.
That's my team's project.
Ms. An.
Do you still think I'd have to step in?
No, sir. I was shortsighted.
No matter who swings a knife at them, both Kyung Jun...
and Baby Chick will manage to dodge it.
(Sweet and Tangy, Green Grape)
There are 94 products with braille labels,
but 80 of them do not have the product names written in braille.
It either says "beverage" or "soft drink." That's it.
Of course, the expiry dates aren't included.
So in addition to being unable to pick out the beverages they want,
the blind and visually impaired are at higher risk...
of consuming expired products.
Sorry to interrupt. The intent is commendable,
but it won't be that profitable.
Frankly, we don't have that many visually impaired customers...
who shop at our convenience stores. Am I wrong?
Let's hear them out. Please continue.
Yes, it won't be profitable right away.
As you said,
we don't have that many visually impaired customers.
However, please remember that...
developing such a beverage product...
and launching it before anyone else does...
will boost TS Retail's brand affinity.
In other words, you think it'll help us improve our brand value?
It may not bring us profits right away,
but it'll boost the company's brand value,
and we'll be making a social contribution,
which is our business motto.
That's what we wanted to focus on.
(Score Sheet, Lee Yeong I, Jang Kyung Jun)
Eun Sook, I'm here!
Is she inside?
Eun Sook.
I guess you just leave your doors unlocked.
What if thieves sneak in?
There's nothing for them to take anyway.
Sit down.
Hey, I came straight here without going to the restaurant first.
Ta-da! Have some.
Hwa Kyung, do you think I'd be in the mood to eat cake right now?
What are we celebrating?
Come on. Can we only eat cake when we have something to celebrate?
If you feel gloomy,
have a bite of this sweet cake...
and take a sip of this Americano.
It'll comfort you, Eun Sook. Come on.
Just one bite. Please try it.
It is good indeed.
It's good, right?
Good for you, Hwa Kyung.
Thanks to Mother, you took back the 100,000 dollars.
Gosh, it's not that exciting. It was our money to begin with.
She bought you that coat too.
My goodness. Are you still jealous?
Shall I buy you a coat?
No, I'm just saying.
Just think, "She's still sulking."
Okay, Eun Sook.
By the way, about Eun Ho. You know, Do Jin's friend.
I hear he's a pediatrician.
Yes.
Does he visit you often?
From time to time. Why do you ask?
You know, we lost Do Jin like that.
And Yeong I has been single for a while.
What if the two of them...
Hwa Kyung.
Gosh, you startled me. Why are you suddenly raising your voice?
You know, Eun Ho...
and Do Jin were best friends from a young age.
He's worried about his friend's kid and wife who's now a widow.
He lives in the area, so he visits us from time to time.
Don't be absurd.
Are you here to upset me? Is that it?
Eun Sook. If it's not the case, just say so.
Why are you getting angry?
I was just curious.
Why are you suddenly curious about that?
You never even cared about my family.
Also, no one in the family...
dares to bring up...
stuff about Do Jin in front of me as easily as you do.
Do you know why?
Because I'm still hurting.
I am...
still hurting right here.
I'm sorry, Eun Sook. Calm down.
Hwa Kyung, you're here.
Yes, Mother.
I wanted to check in on Eun Sook, so I dropped by.
Great.
Since you're here anyway,
go to the restaurant and help them serve the customers.
Sorry? Me?
No, how could I...
Mother, I've never done it before.
Just walk back and forth with a tray in your hand...
and put away the things that you see.
Okay.
Eun Sook, let's go to my room.
Wait.
What is it about? Let's just talk here.
I'm scared your husband would come after me if we talked here.
He wouldn't even let me talk.
He bends over backward for his wife.
He's so protective of you.
Come to my room.
Eun Sook.
- Yes. - Listen carefully...
to what I'm about to tell you.
I'm only going to say it once.
What is it about, Mother?
Just know...
that no one else would say this...
to your face.
Only I can say this.
But you see,
someone has to do this.
I feel so bad for you...
as well as for those who are suffering because of you.
Honestly, I can't take this anymore.
I know you lost your son, but do you think...
it can be an excuse for everything?
Sorry?
Mother.
What did you say to me just now?
I asked you if you were using it as an excuse for everything.
Mother.
Do Jin.
He died years ago.
How much longer must everyone walk on eggshells around you?
We can't even have a relaxed conversation.
How much longer must we live like this?
Mother, are you taking Hwa Kyung's side again...
because I raised my voice at her?
Eun Sook and I just don't get along.
Oh, Chang Il!
Hi, Hwa Kyung.
Why is my wife being scolded?
What did she do wrong?
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come.
Hwa Kyung always acted like a guest passing by.
But she came to see you because she was worried about you.
Even if she made an immature remark...
As her elder sister-in-law, how could you...
Are you only going to care about Do Jin...
for the rest of your life until the day you die?
Is that it?
Mother.
You've never lost a child.
You have no idea what it's like.
Right.
I'm not you,
so I can't fully understand you.
What would this ignorant granny even know?
All my life, I was busy making beef bone soup...
to make sure I could feed and support you guys.
You see, Mother...
I still feel like...
Do Jin would open the door...
and walk in with a big smile on his face,
saying, "Mom, I want food!"
How did he end up like that?
If I knew who hurt him and why he drowned,
it'd hurt less,
and I wouldn't feel so wronged. But...
We decided to put it behind us and move on.
Even the police couldn't figure it out and gave up.
You need...
to think about your other kids and the rest of us too.
He worked as a public health physician in that faraway town.
I still resent Yeong I for calling him...
and rushing him to come home because her stomach was hurting.
She was having contractions.
She has her parents-in-law. She could've just told us...
or anyone else in the family.
Why that day, of all days?
And it's not like babies come out as soon as contractions begin.
You know,
had Yeong I never called Do Jin that day,
he wouldn't have gone to the quay area, Mother.
What should I...
do with you?
Eun Sook.
It's all...
Yeong I's fault.
I must've been out of my mind.
Now that I've quit my job, I should just catch up on sleep.
Why did I volunteer for this on my first day of unemployment?
This is never-ending.
Wait until you move out.
You keep accumulating stuff.
Gosh, it's so itchy.
Hey, come here.
Why?
Hey, Eun Jin. I'm a man. Who says you can touch me?
Hey, Do Sik. Look at these scabs.
It looks serious, doesn't it?
Wear these. Now.
- Okay. - It's not just a rash.
Just pack this box, and I'm taking you to a doctor.
Okay?
Okay.
Eun Ho, your mom probably isn't home yet, right?
Do you want to have dinner at my place?
Do you want to see your boss even after work?
The worst boss is one who wants to have dinner with you.
Come on. It all depends on who your boss is.
I should have dinner with Mom when she gets home.
Go inside. I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
Bye.
Why do my days feel so short?
Honey, you got home early today.
My dinner plans got canceled.
It doesn't look like you went shopping. Where were you?
I went to Mother's place to see Eun Sook.
Why did Eun Sook call you again?
She didn't.
You never go there even when she calls you.
Gosh, I visited her because I wanted to ask her something.
Don't even get me started.
How has Yeong I been putting up with her for so long?
Does Eun Sook still blame Yeong I for Do Jin's death?
Eun Sook talked about Do Jin in front of Mother.
Of course, I feel bad for Eun Sook.
But I feel so sorry for Yeong I, honey.
You know, Hae Mi still acts like a clueless kid at times.
But Yeong I is two years younger than Hae Mi.
She is still very young.
I was so anxious earlier,
thinking we'd be the only team without a sample.
And when that blank screen popped up...
Gosh. I thought, "We're doomed."
But didn't we double-check the final version of the file...
multiple times before submitting it?
It really is too bad. We worked so hard on it.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
Just because. I should've checked one more time.
I think I made a mistake.
No way. You're such a perfectionist.
Actually, I'm full of flaws.
If you're curious,
just wait and see.
Even better if you'd try to get to know me.
What do you mean by that?
Just take it literally.
You can carry it.
Wait, Ms. Lee.
If I must put up with you...
getting the wrong idea about me...
and saying such harsh things to me just because I have a child,
go ahead and reveal it.
Thank you for your help.
Kyung Jun, Yeong I. Good work today.
Oh, Kyung Jun. I have to talk to you about something.
- What is it about? - It's about Yeong I.
Ms. Kim.
Why? You said I could go ahead and reveal everything.
Have you already changed your mind?
Reveal what, Ms. Lee?
(The Love in Your Eyes)
It means that someone in the company...
is trying to keep Kyung Jun in check.
- I may get rid of them. - Father.
A close guy friend?
Are you talking about Mr. Kang Eun Ho?
You two seemed like you were more than friends.
I'm Kang Eun Ho. Yeong I and I are close friends.
