(Episode 50)
(Head Designer Jung Hye Soo)
This is bad.
The concept is identical.
That can't be.
How can it be so similar?
I wonder.
What's the matter?
Isn't this the new season's design Jung Hye Soo submitted?
It's the work of Stella Jung, the hottest designer right now,
and no one knows who she actually is.
This is crazy.
It can't be true.
You should see this too.
The design Jung Hye Soo submitted for the new season look...
is definitely a copy of Stella Jung's work.
It is Stella Jung's design.
Ms. Jung, explain this if you can.
This is unbelievable. How could you copy it exactly?
The line, details, and even the style.
The texture and color that's just right for mass production.
I didn't think this of you before, but you have no conscience.
Watch your manners at least until you have proof.
It's not a copy. It's my work.
Can you prove it?
Arrange a meeting with Stella Jung. Then we can find out.
You're shameless.
You're pulling that trick because you know no one knows what she looks like.
Yes. I'd like to see her too.
I'd like to meet Stella Jung as well.
Plagiarism?
This cannot be allowed in Cheonha Fashion.
It's not plagiarism.
It's definitely plagiarism.
We have no choice but to see Stella Jung.
Yes, it seems like it.
Are you saying you'll hire her?
There's talk that she's 90 percent sure to sign with Sky Group.
We have a ten-percent shot, then.
I'll do whatever it takes...
to make her work for us.
She's the most talked-about designer in Southeast Asia,
isn't that right?
She's a brand in herself.
Get her. Then we can conquer...
the Southeast Asian fashion market we're trying to enter.
You have a point.
You know I love setting up a competition, don't you?
Vice-chairwoman Seol and Director Seo.
See what you can do.
If you succeed, you'll win a prize.
If you fail, you'll be punished.
That will be a net with which you'll kill me.
This will be the best opportunity for me to break Yu Gyeong's wings.
Jung Hye Soo, we'll decide your fate once we meet Stella Jung.
That works for me.
Senior Executive VP Yoo, follow me.
What? You want me to resign?
You said you'd give up the company.
Why would you work here, then?
What do you need a title for?
Grandma. This is a wrongful dismissal.
I have an MBA from Columbia University...
and graduated from Central Saint Martins.
I'm not here only because I'm your grandson.
You're the one who announced you'd cut ties with me.
You said you'd leave the company first.
It was a figure of speech.
Did I say I'd give up my job and title too?
You were petty enough to freeze my accounts and credit cards.
Didn't you know?
Your life without me is about to get much worse.
Get out.
When you fire an employee,
you must give a one-month notice.
And you must pay them more than just one month's salary.
You think you can do anything.
If you're upset about it, take me to court.
Empty your office now.
Fine. I'll do that only because I've had enough of this.
But...
Stella Jung. If I... If my team manages to sign her,
reinstate me as senior executive VP.
Yes. Now that's a proper deal.
(Senior Executive VP Yoo In Ha)
In Ha.
What's this?
Were you fired?
No. I quit.
You're really jobless.
My grandma's terrifying.
I see how she makes a flying bird fall.
She felled me too.
Is that true, Mom? Did the chairwoman...
really say she'd groom me as her successor?
Yes.
In Ha cut ties with her and left Yusimwon.
And Han Byeol's still young.
She doesn't have anyone else to succeed her.
If a fake gets too greedy and goes too far,
it might backfire.
Will you please watch what you say?
Se Young and Han Byeol went out long ago.
It's just us two, so don't worry.
Ji Ho, you must steel yourself.
You'll be Cheonha Group's chairman.
You're getting ahead of yourself again.
Chief Yoo.
Sir.
Is something amusing going on?
What brings you to my humble office?
Let's talk.
Mother asked for a divorce and left home?
She acted so differently that I wonder if she was the Yu Gyeong I know.
What could she be thinking?
The more you think you know about women the more confused you become.
I don't think it's a divorce she wants.
Could she be upset...
or angry with you?
It's possible.
My wife doesn't exactly speak directly.
She's like a tough assignment.
Do you think I submitted a copy?
No. I think there's no way you did.
Then why do you look anxious and concerned?
We must get Stella Jung to work with us.
The company's future depends on it.
If we lose her to another company,
Cheonha Fashion will flop in the Southeast Asian market.
If that happens, what do you lose?
I lose my vice-chairwoman title.
That's a big deal.
I fear I'll lose something bigger.
I'm afraid you'll be branded a plagiarist.
You worked hard to get this far with your talent.
I don't want a misunderstanding to ruin your future.
Then be sure to sign Stella Jung.
For yourself and for Jung Hye Soo the designer.
Yes. I'll do that.
This is Stella Jung.
I sent the same files to your phone.
- How old is she? - There's talk she's in her early 30s.
Some say she's in her 50s. No one's sure.
Is she Korean-American or American-Korean?
All we know are rumors that weren't validated.
Isn't she in Korea?
According to a reliable source,
she flies in tomorrow evening.
She has a meeting scheduled with Sky Fashion Group...
at Sky Hotel's VIP suite.
Good job.
(Stella Jung, Other information)
"Starting two years ago, she took New York, Paris, and Milan by storm."
"Likely Korean-American or American-Korean."
"Harbor Terrace Care Home, New York."
Her Korean name is "Sun Jung?"
That's what our Strategy and Planning Team found out.
It'll come in handy.
Her Korean name is "Sun Jung?"
Senior Executive VP Min Sun Jung?
In Ha's mother?
It could be someone with the same name.
Ms. Min studied at New York University...
and was quite into fashion.
Look into it.
Don't trust gossip and grasp at something pointless.
Okay. I promise to find Stella Jung first...
and sign her.
If you do that, we can prove Hye Soo's design's a copy.
Not just that.
Mom will have to resign as vice-chairwoman.
Would you be okay with that?
This was Mom's choice.
She brought it upon herself.
Director Seo.
Mr. Hong.
And Yu Ri.
We must be the ones to sign Stella Jung.
The vice-chairwoman only has Ms. Jung on her side.
Senior Executive VP Yoo was dismissed.
We're all on your team, so we'll succeed.
We must set a precedent and warn others...
that plagiarism is a huge issue in the fashion industry.
And preserve our pride.
Our careers are at stake.
I'll give all I have to serve you.
I'll ask my YouTube subscribers to send whatever they know about Stella Jung.
Photos, videos, anything.
I've been in fashion for 20 years. I'll show you what I can do.
It's here.
A cousin of mine works at Sky.
Tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Sky Hotel's VIP suite,
Stella Jung's meeting with people from Sky Fashion.
Tomorrow at 7 p.m.?
Why are you here when I didn't call?
Are chief prosecutors that bored?
You surprised me. I'm impressed.
What are you on about?
You demanded a divorce and left home.
- It must be a show. - Does it look like it?
I wish it were, but I must disappoint you.
I'm dead serious.
Why did you go and dig your own grave?
I was going to take your secret to mine.
Aren't you upset...
you no longer have anything on me?
I am.
You still have something on me.
Are you worried?
Do you stay up at night in fear your fake heritage might come out?
There's one thing...
you've forgotten.
That you were involved in...
Hye Soo's aunt's death.
Hye Soo's aunt.
Her body's in my car.
- Is she dead? - Yes.
Listen to me carefully. We must remain cool.
I don't know what to do.
You figure out what to do.
Yoo Ji Ho. Keep your wits about you.
You made me...
clean up what Se Young had done.
Chairwoman Ma got the ball rolling with Hye Soo's aunt's death,
but even after I told you Se Young had delivered the death blow,
you covered it up.
If Hye Soo were to hear this,
what would happen?
You're an accomplice too. Do you want us to both go down?
If you don't reveal I'm not the chairwoman's grandson,
I won't say a word about Hye Soo's aunt's death.
I'd also recommend you go back home.
I think you overestimate Minister Joo's love.
What if he really explodes?
Worry about your own wife.
I'm tired. You should go.
Hello, Father.
Mother doesn't seem to want to go home yet.
You might have to try a little harder.
Okay.
She's upset about something.
Still, she should know when to stop.
(Minister of Justice Joo Bum Seok)
There's no way I'll get divorced.
What? In Ha was fired?
The chairwoman came in herself and yelled, "Get out!"
I guess she really is going to cut ties with him.
She suspended his credit cards too.
Then he must have no money.
I asked around. He works part-time at Jin Sun Mi's fried chicken place.
He's working at a fried chicken restaurant?
Where does he sleep?
Why worry? His fiancée Hye Soo has a place.
He must stay with her.
I really can't stand this.
You said you'd had her for ten years and were sick of her.
Now that you think she's living with In Ha,
are you burning up with jealousy?
Darn you.
They're living together?
Where is he?
Did he really go to see if they're living together?
Jeez.
Stop. Pay for that first.
You're opening a soda before you even order?
What are you doing here?
Can't you tell? I'm working.
Yes, but why would you work here?
Why are you wearing an apron?
Give me that.
Will you really work instead?
I've been on my feet all morning and my back hurts.
Stop!
People would think I treat you like a slave.
Mr. Yoo, if you keep slacking off, I'll have to pay you less and less.
Until your pay reaches the minimum wage.
You got it all wrong.
I was working hard...
until he started talking to me.
You, out. Get out.
But this is where I live.
I don't believe this.
What gives you the right to tell my sweetie to come and go?
Watch it.
- Sweetie, sit down. It's okay. - Okay.
Drink your soda.
Do you want some fried chicken?
- My goodness... - Which one?
Even you're tormenting me now. I miss Hye Soo.
Jeez.
Hye Soo.
Get off me.
Let's stay like this for just one minute.
It's tough, isn't it?
When would a rich heir have had to do this?
Are you hungry?
Give up and go home.
A rich heir turned part-timer isn't cool.
Can you just accept me?
When I was a rich heir,
I had no idea...
I was all sparkly on the outside and rotten on the inside.
I must be growing up.
"This is what it takes to earn ten dollars."
"This is what the minimum payment means."
I lost access to my credit cards and accounts,
and now I'm seeing what it's like to have no money.
I see why people always want more of it.
You got that already?
No, I have a long way to go.
I have nothing, but I have a fiancée who lent me her credit card.
I'm not completely penniless.
Then it wouldn't hurt to let you experience rock bottom.
What? Do you want your credit card back?
What? No way.
- Give it back. - No.
Give it back to me.
Where is it?
He goes in like it's nothing?
Darn it. Are they having an affair?
Why are you here?
In Ha, what are you doing here this late?
I should ask you that.
Why did you barge into my fiancée's place without notice?
Let's sit down.
Grandma must be really angry.
I heard she fired you.
I'll be reinstated once I complete my mission.
I cut ties with my family, not my job.
We don't live in a world...
where you can cut ties if you want.
You're nothing but an immature fool without Grandmother's shelter.
I didn't know your brotherhood was so tight.
Are you two...
living together before you even tie the knot?
What if we are?
Say what you came here to say.
We have stuff to do and discuss.
What discussion...
happens at home in private?
What's wrong with you?
Why do you care what I do alone with my fiancée?
Do you still think Hye Soo's yours?
She's the mother of my daughter and...
Yes, she is. So what?
It still feels like...
she belongs to me.
- You're crazy. - You lunatic.
In Ha, don't.
Get up. Get up, you idiot!
I'll teach you a lesson tonight.
Please don't.
I can't stop. He needs to be half-dead!
Open the door!
Open this door right now, you scum!
Hye Soo. Do you miss your old flame?
Are you trying to steal him from me?
Let me in!
Darn it.
Yoo Ji Ho!
In Ha's here too?
I had no idea.
Se Young. Your thought process still isn't quite right.
At least you're consistent.
Darn it!
My gosh. That fool.
Don't call my husband over.
I warned you.
Wait for me, Ji Ho!
What is the matter with them?
Now we must deal with two psychos.
They should at least live happily if they couldn't...
get enough of each other and hurt others to get married.
I guess love changes just like that.
I know nothing lasts forever, but I kind of feel sorry for them.
By the way, what should we do about Stella Jung?
We must get her, well and truly.
Okay. Good luck.
Mom.
I missed you, Hye Soo.
So did I, ma'am.
What? "Ma'am?" Aren't you my son's fiancée?
I know that it's a show.
Still, when we're around others, you call me "Mother," okay?
- Yes, Mother. - I feel like the third wheel.
Did I lose you to Hye Soo?
You look terrible.
Is the chairwoman starving you?
You don't look the same. You've lost weight.
Is Ashley the same?
How about people at the care home?
Don't even ask.
Whenever they see me, they ask about you.
They say seeing you is what makes them happy.
Everyone's looking for Hye Soo.
You must be hungry. Let's get some Korean food.
Sorry, I have dinner plans.
Two, actually.
You just got here and you're busy. Let's go.
(Director of Fashion, Joo Se Young)
Any news?
Min Sun Jung, who could be Stella Jung just flew in.
Do you have her schedule?
She's using the same email she did when she was senior executive VP...
at Cheonha Group.
She has two appointments today.
Two?
At 6 p.m. at Sky Hotel's VIP-only Diamond Room,
she's meeting Ms. Seol Yu Gyeong.
Mom scheduled a meeting already?
Is In Ha there too?
Yes, and so is Jung Hye Soo.
Report to me in real-time.
If she goes to Sky Hotel and if they all go with her.
Okay.
Is Min Sun Jung really Stella Jung?
Is it time? I'm meeting Stella Jung.
You have a visitor.
Reschedule it if it wasn't prearranged.
Are you going to turn me away?
I didn't think you'd come here.
Will you keep me standing? Can I have some tea?
Sit down.
It's been a long time, Auntie.
I'm Joo Se Young, the chairwoman's granddaughter-in-law.
I'm also the director of Cheonha Fashion.
Oh. It's the arrogant, bratty...
Joo Se Young.
What?
I was hoping to see Seol Yu Gyeong, seeing it's been a long time.
Seeing her daughter instead...
- feels worse. - Hey, you!
What's the matter with you?
Mom.
(Game of Witches)
Min Sun Jung, are you Stella Jung?
Stella Jung? Do you have business with her?
You treat people like they're worth less than a fly.
Aren't you the one who killed my husband?
How dare you? You wench!
Grandma wouldn't have killed Dad.
There's one other person who would have.
Seol Yu Gyeong.
