(Episode 53)
(Joo Se Young)
Is this the design that's identical to Jung Hye Soo's?
Yes. It's Stella Jung's design.
It looks just like that.
A designer who copies someone else's work must be crushed.
No way. It's Stella Jung.
Oh, wow. I'm so honored.
Hello. I'm Joo Se Young, a designer.
Does she not know who I am?
She must be antsy right before the meeting.
She's too arrogant for my liking.
(Cheonha Fashion and Stella Jung Show Meeting)
Is that Stella Jung?
- Yes. - She looks to be in her early 30s.
Does she have a lot of secrets?
We'll see her face when we say hi after the meeting.
(Cheonha Fashion and Stella Jung Show Meeting)
Why isn't Hye Soo here yet?
Hye Soo must've run off before we found out her work's a copy.
Director Joo.
What if she didn't copy anything? You should watch what you say.
I apologize, ma'am.
We'll begin the fashion show.

(Jung Hye Soo)
Just a moment.
This is Stella Jung's design.
I saw it in a magazine too.
Why does it say it's Jung Hye Soo's design?
It looks completely identical.
The profits of the upcoming Stella Show...
will be donated to assist unwed mothers.
Let me introduce Stella Jung who planned the Stella Show with us.
I'd like Stella Jung to confirm something on the spot.
(Jung Hye Soo)
Did you design this outfit, Stella?
I did.
Then I'll ask again.
If that design is yours, Stella,
then can we assume...
Jung Hye Soo, the designer whose name is on the dress copied your design?
No.
No?
You just said it's the same as your design.
Yes. I'm Stella Jung.
At the same time...
(Evaluators)
I'm Jung Hye Soo.
I hope that...
as Stella Jung, I can continue to work with Cheonha Fashion.
After the Stella Show,
I will sign a contract with Vice-chairwoman Seol.
I feel like a huge weight was lifted.
You all did great.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Hye Soo, you did amazingly well.
Your mother did most of the work. Thank you.
With all the thrill and suspense, I had a great time.
Can I go on being Stella Jung's manager?
You bet.
I just heard what had happened and I felt so nervous.
Stella Jung, you're awesome.
Sun Mi, was I the only one in the dark? Am I an outcast?
Hye Soo, I'm offended. Do you not trust me?
Kyung Won, you were Se Young's secretary.
One mistake could ruin something we'd planned for so long.
See? They didn't trust me.
Are you upset, sweetie?
More so because of you.
This is getting a bit too much.
It's the honeymoon phase.
To our Hye Soo, our Stella Jung,
- let's drink. - Cheers.
- Cheers.
You bragged about having a plan,
but Hye Soo got you good.
I apologize.
She set this up to target me.
And you fell for it.
Next time, I promise to make her...
Next time, and the next time.
Director Seo, come in.
Stella Jung who turned out to be Hye Soo...
openly announced she'll work with Yu Gyeong.
You two lost.
The losers must be punished accordingly.
As Se Young's superior, Director Seo led this team.
I'll transfer you to Daegu's Cheonha Department Store.
In return, I'll promote you to Senior Executive Vice President.
Thank you.
I serve you, wherever I am.
Se Young.
You go somewhere quiet so you can think about what you've done.
Somewhere quiet? Where's that?
You're the new Director of Online Business.
What about my spot as Director of Design?
It can't be left vacant for long.
Are you Cheonha's chairwoman?
Why would you worry about that? I know what I'm doing.
What do you think will happen?
You're better than me at reading the circumstances.
Haven't you calculated everything and made a decision already?
There's just one thing I haven't decided yet.
In this game, should I make you my enemy or my ally?
I haven't decided yet.
I was always on your side.
Why is that so hard to decide?
Because the enemy commander I must take down...
is your wife.
I sincerely hope that this drink...
is not the last we share.
How did my angelic wife...
become the enemy commander you must take down?
Take your time and explain.
I knew you'd be interested.
(Director of Fashion, Joo Se Young)
I'll be back soon.
- Wow, applause. - Applause.
Welcome, Stella Jung.
No. Should it be "Miss?"
"Ma'am."
What should I say?
Treat me the same as before.
The Stella Show was amazing.
- You're the best. - Thanks.
Are you back on the team as the head designer like before?
No. I'll introduce myself later.
I see.
You did pretty well so far.
Goodbye.
Darn that...
(Director of Fashion, Stella Jung)
What happened?
A mere designer became a director?
I'm not just a mere designer.
I'm Stella Jung, the hottest designer around.
Scouting me will cause stock prices to skyrocket...
and signify Cheonha Fashion's a leader in the Southeast Asian market.
Did the chairwoman offer you this deal?
Like you said, I was a mere designer.
How could I decide on my new title?
You'll just go back to being the head designer?
That's not right.
That's exactly why I need a manager.
What shall I do?
What?
If Cheonha Fashion's to sign Stella Jung,
she deserves an appropriate title?
Isn't that obvious?
What title does she want?
Whatever team she's to work with, she wants to be Director of Design.
She wants Se Young's title?
Yes.
If Yu Gyeong wins, I can demote Se Young to a quiet team.
If Director Seo wins, I can promote Se Young...
to Senior Executive Vice President.
- There's one more thing. - One more thing?
If Yu Gyeong wins,
you must reinstate In Ha as Senior Executive VP.
What did In Ha do in regard to scouting Stella Jung?
You'll find out when you see what happens.
Then we can finalize this discussion when the results are out.
Even if your team had won, I was going to replace you anyway.
While you got promoted.
Why did you want to be the director?
Don't you know?
I told you when I got back.
That I'd steal everything from you.
What?
Don't get scared already.
Se Young. This is just the beginning.
Do you think I won't fight back?
You will pay for this, Hye Soo.
For what you did to me...
What I did to you?
I'm a long way off from making you pay for everything you did to me.
You can't forget what you did already.
Stealing your title is nothing.
I have more coming to make sure you wail with regret.
Grandma. Business should be kept apart from our personal issues.
It's not a cheap trick that I couldn't tell you Hye Soo was Stella.
Why do you want to be senior executive VP if you want to leave the company?
Then what? Shall I work at a chicken joint or medical appliance store?
What?
Why would you sell chicken or medical appliances?
Do you think ex-heirs get food and clothes for free?
I must work for a living.
You're the one who canceled all my credit cards.
What else could I do when I needed to eat?
With a resume like yours,
any company would clamor to hire you.
Who would hire me when the whole world knows...
I'm your grandson and successor?
Think objectively.
If you don't reinstate me as senior executive VP,
I'll sell all my shares to Mom and start a business with the money.
Do you still...
want to cut ties with me?
- Sorry. - You narrow-minded fool.
I made a deal with Stella Jung's manager.
You can return as senior executive VP.
Thank you, Grandmother.
You want to cut ties with me but you keep calling me like that?
I can't stand you. Get out.
I apologize.
Darn it.
Director of Online Business?
This is just insane.
I'd like to see the vice-chairwoman.
- She's with a visitor. - Who is it?
Mom's not even interested in consoling me...
from being demoted to a boring job.
Now Hye Soo really is her daughter.
She pushed me aside completely.
Ms. An.
Come to Chief Prosecutor Yoo Ji Ho's office.
I'm so proud of you, Hye Soo.
I couldn't even imagine you were Stella Jung.
I was unable to tell you, due to the circumstances.
I understand.
You were all but confirmed as a plagiarist.
It was intentional.
You lured Se Young into condemning you for copying the design?
Yes.
Why are you so surprised?
Have you, like Se Young,
forgotten what she did to me?
You shouldn't.
If the victim still lives with the bruises and scars,
it's not right for the assailant to forget all about it...
and live happily in luxury.
Did you do it to get your revenge?
I have a long way to go to get back at her completely.
And you're part of that revenge plan.
Okay. Do everything you want to me.
If I must take it, I will.
If it'll help heal the wounds you got over the years,
I'll take anything.
Why do your eyes say you want me to stop?
Why do you want me to leave the revenge part to you?
Ma Hyun Duk is a ferocious woman.
End your revenge with Se Young.
I'll do the rest.
You get your own back.
I'll get my revenge my way.
(Prosecutor's Office)
You want to frame Seol Yu Gyeong...
for Yoo Min Sung's car accident?
I need you to give a statement.
And say what?
Let's create a scenario that sounds plausible.
This is a copy of the video from Yoo Min Sung's dashboard camera.
Someone had sent it to me.
What do you want me to do with it?
Hide it in Ms. Seol's office.
It's not the original. Will it work as evidence?
Getting people to believe it was her is more important than the fact.
Mom, I miss you.
I miss you too. I wish I could see you.
Are you really Stella Jung?
How did you find out?
Grandma told me.
That you're a famous designer.
That's so cool.
Thank you.
I love you, Han Byeol.
I'm tired. Here's a heart.
Sleep well. A heart for you too.
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
- Oh, dear. - Mom.
You're home?
Goodness.
She chatted with her mom for a while before going to bed.
We shouldn't let them meet up behind Se Young's back, should we?
Go to sleep.
Why aren't you in bed?
I was thinking of Han Byeol.
What? Do you still not like her?
You can't even stand me thinking about her?
You're being sarcastic again.
I thought you'd thank me once...
for bringing Ms. An over to help you.
- You did that for me? - What?
Be honest.
Stella Jung turned out to be Hye Soo.
You got demoted over it and you're angry,
and you lost it when you thought your mom switched sides completely.
Do you have to stab me where it hurts the worst?
I'm upset too that I can't love Han Byeol!
I can't help it that I'm reminded of Hye Soo whenever I see her!
She's my daughter!
If you can't grow to like her, I can't...
You can't what?
Speak your mind.
Forget it. I'm tired.
Tell me instead of running away!
Just say it!
Yoo Ji Ho!
Darn it.
(Prosecutor's Office)
I was waiting for you, Mother.
Why did my son ask to see me here?
Your birth mom won't jump out from a corner again, will she?
- I apologize for that. - You took your time.
Get to the point. I'm tired.
Managing Director Yoo. My late father who was hurt in a car crash.
I think we can find the culprit.
Who is it?
I'm about to...
go and arrest them.
Tell me who it is first.
I'll rip them to shreds.
Would you be okay with it?
Don't you love her so much you can only look at her?
I spoiled her too much and she forgot her manners.
She needs to be reined in.
You'll make it so she has no choice but to give in and ask for your help?
Would I send the only love of my life...
to prison?
(Vice-chairwoman Seol Yu Gyeong)
What are you doing?
I'm Chief Prosecutor Yoo Ji Ho with Special Investigations...
from Seoul District Prosecutor's Office.
I came for you myself.
What are the charges?
Seol Yu Gyeong.
You're under arrest for the solicitation of Yoo Min Sung's murder.
You can keep silent, have the right to a lawyer,
and all you say can be used against you in court.
(Director of Fashion, Stella Jung)
- Yes? - Hye Soo.
Prosecutors are here to take Ms. Seol.
What's going on?
What did she do?
What did my mom do?
Tell me what my mom did.
(Game of Witches)
Ms. Seol was taken for soliciting Yoo Min Sung's murder.
Are you behind it?
I will find the proof.
I'll expose your true colors, Ma Hyun Duk.
I know you're the one behind this whole plot.
Mr. Ko called. He'll turn himself in.
He can't. We must stop him at all costs.
