(Episode 48)
Why isn't she coming out?
Did something really happen?
(Ha Young)
Detective Yoo?
Why did you come all the way here?
I was worried about you. You sounded really upset.
What happened?
Ha Young.
Yes.
Director Kang.
Will Ms. Shin be all right?
She's a strong person, so I'm sure she'll get over it.
Also, it's only fair that she deals with the consequences...
of her own action.
But won't you be uncomfortable around her from now on?
A little, I guess.
But it'll all get sorted out.
If we...
let her bury it like this, you might end up losing your job.
Your position isn't permanent, which puts you at a disadvantage.
Mr. Kim hasn't made his decision yet,
so let's wait and see.
He might decide to give me another chance.
Yes, he might.
But he can be very decisive when he wants to be.
How petty do you think one can get?
What do you mean?
You see,
I had no idea I could be like this.
I didn't know that I could be such a loser...
and a coward.
I told you that the man I had a crush on liked someone else.
To kick her out,
I did some mean things.
What did you do?
To make it look like she made a mistake,
I tampered with an order.
Ha Young, that's...
I know.
I'm so mean and nasty.
But it was so hard for me to see her...
next to him.
Seeing them together.
I do understand...
how it feels to be in that position,
but by doing such things,
you're destroying yourself.
Yes, you're right.
I am destroying myself.
But I can't give up on him.
He has been my goal from the get-go...
and my pride.
Love isn't about goals.
It's not about making someone yours to save your pride.
No.
If I can't have him, no one else can have him either.
Once I set my mind to something,
I always achieve it.
Ha Young.
What should I do with you?
Don't pity me, please.
I don't want my friend to pity me.
Thank you.
For listening to me...
and for being my drinking buddy.
Come on. It's nothing.
You always help me out...
and say, "It's nothing."
I mean it. It really is nothing.
Ha Young.
You should apologize to that woman.
That is what you can do to save your pride.
You see, everyone makes mistakes.
But if you...
refuse to admit your mistake and decide not to apologize,
then you're in the wrong, and it's no longer a mere mistake.
I don't want to see you...
becoming such a person.
I should go inside.
Thank you for today.
I got a job.
So I'm going to earn money, starting today.
What? Really?
You got a job? Where?
A small cafe in Inja-dong.
It's just a part-time job, not a permanent position.
Even if it's just a part-time job,
I'm surprised that someone actually hired you.
Please allow me to write again after I work here for a little while.
I'm telling you. I will start a new K-wave someday.
Then you should just work at your dad's company.
Ask your dad to find you a position at the head office.
There's no position for her at the head office.
When Jung Sook asked me to hire her as my secretary,
I declined. Don't you remember?
That's right. You also said Ki Seok would end up in a pickle...
because people would criticize me for using our relationship.
In her situation, it'd be even worse.
He shouldn't hire her.
Auntie Jung Sook is absolutely right.
All the employees will complain.
She'll cause trouble first, no matter what she does.
You're my sworn enemy, not my brother.
All right. You've never had a proper job because you've been focusing...
on launching your writing career since you graduated,
so it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to start working.
That way, you can learn that this world is a tough place...
and how hard it is to earn money.
Yes. I'll go out into the tough world and suffer,
so give me something, whether it's my inheritance money,
a share, or a gold bar.
What? You little brat.
My goodness.
A part-timer is starting today?
That's right. But the thing is,
it's someone you all know.
Who?
Jung Wook's girlfriend.
The girl who got all drunk a little while back.
I took her home, remember?
Oh, the girl who drank in broad daylight and threw a drunken fit?
The troublemaker who looked like she had done it one too many times.
Oh, that's why I ran into her in front of the cafe yesterday.
Goodness. At a glance, I could tell you wouldn't be able to handle her.
Why did you hire her?
She was the only one who applied for the job.
Mom said to hire anyone...
that applied for the job, thinking they would bring us good luck.
What is she like, Dad?
You don't like her?
It's not that.
She's just a little quirky. She is a character.
Like Great-grandpa?
Yes, they're kind of...
similar.
I could tell right away that she'd be a total weirdo.
Min Guk. You'll be stressed out, working with her.
When a normal person fights with a crazy person,
the crazy person always wins.
But I'm her boss.
She'll try to act normal.
Sure, keep saying that to comfort yourself.
Try not to think about what might happen from now on. Goodness.
Anyway, where is Great-auntie Ha Young?
Did she go to work already?
You should apologize to that woman.
That is what you can do to save your pride.
(Team Manager Shin Ha Young)
Eun Sung?
Eun Sung.
I'd like to apologize for yesterday.
I'm sincerely sorry.
No matter how upset I was, I shouldn't have done that.
I was wrong.
All right.
I'll accept your apology.
I believe you'll never make such a mistake again.
And that it wasn't your real intention.
But it doesn't mean I gave up on Director Kang.
I will make sure...
to make him mine.
Let me tell you something too.
I started developing feelings for Director Kang some time ago.
And recently,
I found out that he felt the same way about me.
So we decided to start a relationship.
But that's how he feels now.
Feelings change.
And in the end, his heart...
will lean toward me.
Ms. Shin.
I apologized to you and said everything I had to say.
I'll leave now.
What? You were the one who ordered the coffee trucks?
Yes.
I'm sorry for letting you down.
But why?
You're not a person who would make such a mistake.
You can tell me. There must've been a reason.
The thing is...
I have feelings for Director Kang.
I've been having him in my heart since I saw him for the first time.
But the one he likes is...
Ms. Yoo Eun Sung?
So?
You did what you did because you were jealous?
I'm sorry.
Does Ms. Yoo know it was you?
Yes, she knows. And I apologized to her as well.
If the other employees find out about this,
it will be painful for you to keep working here.
You placed the wrong order because of jealousy...
and made it look like your junior colleague's fault...
in order to get her fired.
Aside from the disciplinary action,
you'll fall from grace and lose your ground in the company.
You know what they'll whisper about you.
They'll call you childish and underhanded.
Do you think you can bear that?
I am deeply ashamed.
Ms. Shin, you were my favorite employee.
Why did you let things get this messy?
Why did you make your position within the company vulnerable?
I'm sorry.
Hello, sir.
Oh, hello.
You're here.
Give me your bag first.
- Okay. - Yes.
And... Here you go. Put on this apron.
Okay.
- Goodness. It's so dark and somber. - Sorry?
Oh, no. We can't attract customers with an apron like this.
What...
We should get new aprons right now to keep the business running.
- What are you... - Oh, nice. What about this one?
- It's colorful and pretty, right? - What? This...
Then I'll order this one.
What?
You'll order new aprons?
How would you like to pay? A credit card or bank transfer?
- But... - Never mind.
It's complicated, so I'll pay for them for now.
- But... - Wire me 50 dollars right away.
What? Fifty dollars?
Well... Let's see.
- The cups are so unfashionable. - That's...
We should replace them with sophisticated and trendy cups.
But...
My goodness.
This dessert plate is unbelievably old-fashioned.
Gosh. The cutlery is dark and gloomy.
Hold on. Stop it. What's wrong with all these?
Oh, no. These tables aren't stylish at all.
And the chairs don't seem comfortable.
The curtains are also...
Let's just renovate the shop.
What? Renovate the shop?
What?
You want me to come to the cafe now? Why?
Mom, about the plates and cups that you bought.
The ones you went all the way to the wholesale shop to get.
They're being put away right now.
What? Why would they be put away?
Who is putting them away?
The master-level weirdo.
- What? "The master-level weirdo?" - Yes.
Grandpa was right about her.
She's a weirdo on another level, and I can't deal with her.
Hurry up and come.
You know that one of Ms. Yoo and Ms. Shin...
has to leave the company, right?
If the truth is revealed, Ms. Shin would be fired.
If not,
you would have no choice but to hold Ms. Yoo responsible?
Since the other employees know what happened,
we can't just let it go as if nothing happened.
Someone has to take the responsibility...
even if she might lose her job.
Ms. Yoo will never be the first one to reveal the truth.
That's the problem.
I don't want an innocent person to suffer damage.
To save both of them, we need a good reason...
that could convince the employees.
A reason?
You mean, something that can offset the error?
Yes, that's right.
If we could just find something, we'd use it as an excuse...
to sort out this situation.
I understand Eun Sung because she might get fired soon.
But why does Ha Young look so serious and downcast?
I don't know.
Maybe she's sad because she might lose a team member.
You think Ha Young is that compassionate?
What's so gloomy about this apron?
I chose it very carefully.
It doesn't matter how carefully you chose it.
What matters is whether or not you have a good sense.
Are you saying that I don't, and what I chose are old-fashioned?
I can't say that those are stylish.
So you ordered new aprons?
And coffee cups and plates too?
Yes, with his permission.
When did I give you my permission? You ordered them without asking.
You can't do this to me because your mom is here.
I told you that I was going to place the order.
What's the point of telling me after making the payment?
Then should I cancel the order?
Shall we keep wearing these gloomy aprons...
even if the business might fail?
My gosh. Why would our business fail?
Our business was doing just fine before you came.
What I'm saying is that if you want to make it more successful,
you should adopt the idea of a young person with a good sense.
If you don't keep up with changes, you will likely fall behind.
My gosh. She's such a smooth talker.
They say that those with a way with words are never decent.
I can't believe you hired someone like her.
You told me to hire anyone who applied for the job.
You said that person would bring us good luck.
Whatever. I don't even know. I'm getting a headache.
You should get this sorted out. I'll get going now. Gosh.
- I'm speechless. - Goodbye.
Hold on. Should we get a new coffee machine too?
Let's get a new milk frother too...
Please stop it. I'm begging you.
Jin Sil.
Chun Young.
About the blind date with the English instructor...
I...
won't set Min Guk up with someone like her.
So don't bring her up again.
Well... Then what type of person...
do you want Min Guk to marry?
A woman with no marriage experience?
I mean, one with no children, of course.
I may seem greedy to you,
but that's how I feel, to be honest.
I mean, Min Guk has never gotten married,
and Ga Ram suddenly came to him...
Anyway, I don't want him to meet her, so forget about it.
I shouldn't have asked you for such a favor.
I don't want things to become awkward between us because of that.
Right. I don't want that either.
Then I'll look for a really good match for him...
No. That's okay.
What kind of person will you set him up with next time?
Let's just forget the whole thing.
Don't worry about finding his match anymore.
(Haha Chicken, Good Day for Coffee)
But...
What's her problem?
(Haha Chicken)
They say all parents feel the same way,
but she's too greedy.
Gosh.
However it happened, it doesn't change his current situation.
What's the matter?
What do you mean by that?
Jin Sil said that she wanted her son...
to marry someone with no marriage experience.
See? What did I tell you?
I said you picked the wrong person to set him up with.
What kind of woman who has never been married would marry him?
You never know.
They say that love conquers all.
So a mere fact that he has a child might not be an obstacle.
"A mere fact?"
It's easy for you to say that because it doesn't concern you.
If Eun A fell for a guy like the cafe owner,
would you be happy for her?
What?
No way. Eun A would never fall for such a guy.
Ga Ram, what are you doing now?
I'm doing my homework.
Really? What about the teacher?
My teacher left just now. Grandma will be home shortly.
I see.
Ga Ram, I'm making sandwiches for you.
- Sandwiches? - Yes.
With tuna, ham, eggs, and lettuce.
I made the sauce myself.
I hope it's not salty like the pizza you made.
There were too many toppings. I was parched after eating it.
What?
You didn't like the pizza I made? Was it too salty?
No, it was good.
I'm sure the sandwiches are good too.
Oh, I have my taekwondo class.
You can give it to me in the evening.
Really? Then I'll drop them off at the cafe in the evening.
I...
told Mr. Kim that I was the one who ordered the coffee trucks.
I knew you'd tell him the truth.
You'd never hide things like that.
If one of us has to leave the company,
I should resign.
Gosh, Ms. Shin.
Of course, I know I can hold out.
But I don't want to.
I don't want to have to...
show everyone that I've hit rock bottom.
You might think I'm a coward,
but that's the way I've been living my life so far.
That said, let me ask you a favor.
Please don't tell the team members why I'm leaving...
Ms. Shin.
You should see this.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Enjoy. Thank you. - Thank you.
What is this?
I guess Eun Sung and Yoon A gave the coffee and bread...
to some homeless people for free.
Someone posted a video of it on social media.
Everyone's saying Cheong Film is a warmhearted company.
It's going viral.
I never expected that someone would post a video like this.
I wonder who posted this.
They're promoting our films, saying everyone should watch them.
I had no idea that a small act of kindness...
could cause such a reaction.
"Sharing is caring. Spreading kindness..."
"to build a better world."
"I will watch every movie produced by this warmhearted company."
"Let's run to the theaters now to reward Cheong Film."
"List of movies produced by Cheong Film."
"List of the theaters where you can watch Cheong Film's movies."
People are working so hard with passion to promote us.
I know. I didn't expect a reaction like this.
I don't know if we deserve such a compliment.
It turned out better than originally intended.
I'm sure she didn't do it, expecting an outcome like this.
What?
Our new movie that was released last week...
is ranked number one in ticket sales.
Really?
My gosh. It looked like it could come in first place,
but the film by our competitor kept beating it.
We can't say we don't owe it to this video.
You're right.
All right. To thank them for their support,
let's pay it forward, properly.
How about we donate some lunchboxes for the homeless?
That is a great idea.
You never disappoint me.
Really?
My gosh.
All right.
Mr. Kim decided to donate some lunchboxes for the homeless.
Who wants to participate in this meaningful experience after work?
Me!
Eun Sung. You'll come too, right?
Let's flaunt our amazing teamwork, just like we did the other day.
For sure, Yoon A. Let's show off our teamwork again.
What about you, Ms. Shin? You should come with us.
Well...
Shall I?
(Have a meal with Cheong Film!)
Enjoy.
Oh, you're back.
Yes, hello.
What brings you here again?
The CEO of the company...
wanted to help you again, so we're back.
I see. Whatever the reason is,
we're grateful for your support.
Anyway, who is this lady here? Is she your friend?
No, she's my manager.
Hello.
The weather has gotten chilly. Be careful not to catch a cold.
I will. Thank you for this delicious meal.
For the coffee and bread too.
Oh, that was...
Oh, here.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Did it go well?
Yes. Everyone worked with a happy heart...
and went home in a good mood.
I'm glad to hear that.
I don't think what I did deserved to get such compliments.
I think Mr. Kim made it more meaningful.
He did that because he was looking for a way.
A way to do what?
A way to make sure both you and Ms. Shin can stay at the company.
After the video about what you did was posted on social media,
our movie came in first place.
Come on. That was just good timing.
It was bound to come in first place.
I just rode on its coattails.
It doesn't matter.
They were mutually beneficial.
Mr. Kim will have a word with you tomorrow,
but I'm pretty sure he'll tell you to stay.
What? Really?
Gosh, I'm so relieved.
I owe it all to you.
I'm relieved too.
That we can keep working together.
We should make a good movie together.
Yes, we should.
Just like our promise.
Oh, hello.
Hey, buddy.
Can I get three servings of spicy fried chicken?
Sure.
It doesn't look like it's for your family.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, my friends at the dance academy will dance all night.
I want to drop by to give them some moral support.
- I see. - By the way,
did your wife go somewhere?
Yes, I'm not feeling too well today,
so she's taking care of the deliveries for me.
I see.
Does your younger daughter's boyfriend visit often?
- Pardon me? Who? - My gosh.
Her boyfriend looks very elegant,
and he has such a small face.
Also, he has a perfect body.
He looked just like me when I was young.
What do you mean?
What? You didn't know that she had a boyfriend?
Even the other day, I saw them sitting here looking lovey-dovey.
They got all jumpy when I walked in.
My goodness. I'm sure you're mistaken.
Eun Sung doesn't have a boyfriend.
What? What's the matter with you?
- How old are you? - Pardon me?
I'm not a liar.
They say you can't see what's right under your nose.
You're always the last to find out...
what's happening to your closest ones.
When she gets home, ask her if she's seeing someone.
What's wrong with you?
No, that can't be.
Eun Sung doesn't have a boyfriend.
Yes.
I'm on my way back now.
The customer who placed the order wasn't home.
- What? - You don't have to walk me home.
I can go home alone.
I know that.
But this way, we can have a date.
Then just walk me to this alleyway here.
- No way. - My gosh.
It's my mom.
- Gosh. - Your mom?
- I should introduce myself... - No, don't.
What? Why should we run away?
Well, I don't know.
Let's just go. Run.
Stop!
Shoot.
I said to stop, you two.
What are you two doing?
Oh, Mom.
Hi, Mom.
So this guy is your boyfriend?
- Who are you? - Are you a part-timer?
I'm Director Kang Sun Woo's mother.
My gosh, Mother.
This voice is...
Ha Young.
I have your permission to date him, right?
