(Episode 16)
Good thinking.
That is what's best for Le Blanc, Goeun, and everyone.
Do you have a department or position in mind?
I want to manage a new development team.
Please appoint me as the senior manager.
Chairman Kang. Our team is good enough.
Are you satisfied with just that?
You can ask for a higher position.
No. That's enough for me.
Instead, I want to manage Goeun...
as an individual brand of Le Blanc.
In short, you want to release the product you developed...
under the brand Goeun?
Yes.
That's absurd. A senior manager without any experience?
And an individual brand?
It will not help us in any way.
If Goeun becomes an individual brand of Le Blanc,
it will earn a clean and transparent brand image.
I knew it. You have the determination and the guts.
You're really something.
Sounds good. Let's go with that.
Chairman Kang?
From now on, Ms. Eun is...
the senior manager of Le Blanc's natural cosmetic collection,
Goeun.
Great. I'll do my best.
Okay.
We will withdraw the renewed Rose Pack and push forward...
with Goeun's facial mask.
Are you dumping the Rose Pack I developed?
No, you can't.
How can you say that after disgracing Le Blanc with it?
I thought you hated Le Blanc,
but you joined and even sweet-talked the chairman.
Why?
Did you get cold feet trying to file a lawsuit against us?
Think as you please.
How dare you smile?
Do you think you rose in status because of that new position?
Don't overrate yourself.
Even so,
you're nothing but a second-rate local beauty salon.
Ba Da. You haven't changed one bit...
since we were kids.
You don't change, Ms. Kang.
What?
You've been the same since the day we first met.
I like how consistent you are.
Let's get along from now on, Ms. Kang.
What the heck is with her?
It hurts.
Welcome, Ms. Eun.
This is how I will treat you in the office.
It will be hard and dangerous from here on out.
I wouldn't have started if I wasn't going to risk my life.
Got it. Let's go inside.
Attention, please.
Starting today, she will be running the individual functional brand, Goeun.
Senior Manager Eun Seo Yeon.
Hi. My name is Eun Seo Yeon.
I'll be in your care.
Please take care of us too.
I'm looking forward to Goeun's products.
Get back to work.
Do your best all on your own.
Don't try to take any of the workers I hired myself.
These people work for Le Blanc, not Goeun.
Then the team member who will help Ms. Eun is...
Oh, yes.
Mr. Kang, it is.
What do you mean?
You didn't pick Mr. Kang yourself, so it should be fine.
Right, Ms. Kang?
Be my guest.
Two greenhorns will be a sight to see.
Gosh.
Goodness. You only drink hot coffee just like your nickname, don't you?
Do you want one iced?
Forget it.
Why in the world did you decide to work here?
If you had done some thinking, you wouldn't have chosen to join us.
This company tried to steal your product.
And why did you bring your company with you?
The people here are like thugs.
What if they even ruin your company?
I appreciate your criticism disguised in concern.
Concerned?
I'm concerned about you?
Goodness. Concerned, my foot.
I'm just irritated, okay?
You could have earned buckets by signing the facial mask contract.
Thank you for worrying about me, but that's enough.
I'm not worried, okay?
We're on the same team now.
Let's have a constructive conversation.
Listen carefully, Ms. Eun.
Get your act together. This is a jungle.
You'll get eaten up the moment you lower your guard.
Do I look like I'll be eaten up?
Aren't we strangers? So how dare you yell at me?
You were the one who yelled at me first!
What now?
Shoot!
Drink up!
Sorry.
I was worrying about nothing.
You're not just tough. You're ferocious and brave.
Gosh.
The reason I called you all here is because...
I want the planning and development team to start a new project,
now that we have a new person.
The Rose Pack issue has been solved by Ms. Eun's functional mask.
We should start getting ready for the exhibition...
of our color cosmetics line.
You explain the details, Mr. Yoon.
Every year, Le Blanc holds an exhibit of our color cosmetics line.
This year, I would like development teams one and two...
to independently prepare a new product to add to our color cosmetics lines.
I will select the more competitive product of the two.
So basically, he wants us to fight.
Well, then. I'll be looking forward to...
your end products.
Okay.
Hello, Ms. Nam. You haven't been here in a while.
Is Designer Eun inside?
Seo Yeon is no longer here.
What? Why isn't she here?
Didn't you hear?
She got a job at Le Blanc.
What? At Le Blanc?
That's great news.
I should congratulate her.
No. I should congratulate her in a more special way.
Gosh.
Right.
Hello, Chairman Kang.
Hello.
Please have a seat.
Thank you.
Why did you...
suddenly want to meet with me?
Let's order some tea first.
Okay.
I'm sure my wife will take care of it,
but I couldn't help but worry about my only son's wedding.
That's why I wanted to meet.
Is there some problem between Tae Poong and my daughter?
If you're...
worried about my daughter not having a dad...
Oh, not at all. Don't say such a thing.
I just wanted to meet you to ask...
that you take in my son with grace. He is lacking in many ways.
Please don't misunderstand.
As parents, we should help them...
have a good relationship.
I think our kids should decide on that.
My daughter really likes him.
I'm not sure if Tae Poong has feelings for my daughter, though.
I'm sure he feels the same way as Jo Yi.
All of the men in my family are bad at expressing their feelings.
If that's the issue, I'm relieved.
My daughter is very expressive.
That's a good thing.
There's nothing more foolish...
than hiding your feelings.
I hope young kids don't do so.
Right. Being honest is the best.
Ms. Nam suggested that we have a family dinner,
but she hasn't contacted me since.
How should I prepare for the dinner?
A family dinner?
Yes. When you suddenly asked to meet,
I thought it was because of the family dinner.
Right. I'll talk...
to my wife about that.
Today, I just wanted to ask you to kindly accept my son.
Thank you in advance.
Oh, not at all.
According to my daughter, Tae Poong sounds very strong-minded...
and just.
I really like him.
My son is quite strong-minded...
But...
Tae Poong must get his good qualities...
from his attentive father.
Gosh. I wouldn't say I'm attentive.
It would be great...
if my son understood me as well as you do.
Kids can't truly understand their parents.
Your dreams are too big.
Right?
You're right. My dreams were too big.
Please.
See you later.
Chairman Kang?
What are those two doing together?
How long were you in England?
I left as soon as I gave birth,
so I was there for nearly 30 years.
You flew through the sky holding that small child.
You must've had some reason to leave so quickly.
I had to for my husband's business.
Right. I see.
You've only been back for three years.
Isn't running a business here difficult?
You need a network.
That's why I've been going to various group meetings.
Let me know anytime if you need my help.
I'll do my best to help you.
I appreciate your kind words.
They're not just words.
Please call me anytime.
Think of me as being on call.
Didn't I say we should leave that dimwit out today?
She suddenly asked...
for the instructor's contact information, and I panicked.
Goodness.
Oh, my. How pretty.
I can use this carnation, right?
Sure. Go ahead.
People shouldn't behave like that.
I'm a member of this class as well.
Leaving people out? How childish.
What brings you to this flower class today?
Ms. Kim must've missed contacting you...
because she suddenly got a new phone.
Oh, did you hear?
If you say so,
I'll be the bigger person and let it go.
Is it right to place the flower like this?
Why did you suddenly ask about flower arrangements?
There's someone I care about, and I have to congratulate them.
There's nothing more special...
than personally-arranged flowers.
Flower.
Special.
"Flower."
"Special."
I know how to pronounce it. I do.
By the way, that person must like the color yellow.
Here.
They're so pretty.
You didn't need to do that.
You're welcome to come here empty-handed.
I think so.
Actually, I received these flowers from that very person.
She said it reminded her of me. Gosh.
What do you think? Does it look like me?
Oh. Why did you choose yellow carnations?
You see, I've got sophisticated taste.
Yes...
But people rarely give yellow carnations as a gift.
How come?
The vibrant color is so pretty.
The meaning behind it isn't that nice.
It means, "I despise you."
Despise?
What was it again?
"I despise you?"
- Despise? - Yes.
Who gave you those yellow carnations?
What?
Hold on a second. Repeat what you said.
What was the meaning behind this flower?
"I despise you."
That's absurd.
Anyway, you should take out these yellow carnations.
Were those flowers from your husband?
Oh, my gosh. I'm right, aren't I?
The gentle Chairman Kang couldn't say it upfront,
so he did it with flowers, didn't he?
What are you saying?
My husband has never once given me flowers.
Gosh. There's nothing to hide between us.
Everyone knows how uncultivated you are.
We all understand...
how Chairman Kang feels.
- Oh, my gosh. - Of course.
- Hey, you! - Goodness.
Oh, my dear.
How dare you shoot your mouth off?
What did you say?
What's the problem? Can't understand me?
You darn sheep. Shut up, darn it.
You crazy witch!
How crude. No wonder your husband is having an affair!
Who do you think you're lying to?
Lying?
Go double-check with your husband, woman!
I tipped you off about your husband's affair.
You should be thanking me, not hitting me.
This is the very reason you're being called a dimwit.
Why don't you have a taste too?
- Take this. - Stop.
- Oh, my gosh. - Hey. The thorns are foul play.
Seriously. Stop it, will you?
She's crazy.
- Let go of me. - Please stop.
Oh, dear.
What happened to you, In Soon?
For goodness' sake. They pushed my buttons.
You've been going on and on about flowers these days.
But why did you arrange them on yourself?
Gosh. You look like a crazy woman.
Mother. What did you say to me?
What? I called you a crazy woman.
No, not that. What did that shaman tell you?
Oh, that?
Tae Poong and that daughter...
No, the other one. About Baek San.
What did the shaman tell you about Baek San?
She said there was to be a wind...
caused by a woman reeking of blood.
Lead the way.
To where?
She had left for England...
with her newborn baby 30 years ago?
It felt like...
she was biting her tongue.
Ma Dae Geun.
He is a bit suspicious.
Yes, Chairman Kang?
Look into Jung Mo Yeon.
Make sure you find out why she left Korea.
I appreciate your kind words.
No matter how much I look at her, she's Yoon Hee.
Ms. An! Bring me some water!
What's going on?
Darn it.
Here it is, Ms. Nam.
For goodness' sake.
Goodness gracious.
Seriously.
What happened to you two?
Mother. Are you alright?
- Goodness. - Who is she?
What has gotten into you? Let go of me.
Gosh. Let go of him. Use your words.
Let go and talk it out.
Tell me who she is.
Who is it this time?
You're at it again.
Goodness. Baek San.
So why in the world did you do it?
Tell us the truth.
Who is she? Who is the one who bewitched you?
What's wrong with you, Mother? I wasn't bewitched by anyone.
Are you going to act all innocent until the end?
The shaman...
told us you were indeed cheating on In Soon.
Were you at the shaman's shop again?
Didn't I tell you not to visit such places?
I asked her to take me.
I wouldn't have if I hadn't been so frustrated.
The madam of Hyunsin Construction saw you.
She saw you laughing with some woman at a coffee shop.
Oh. Is this fuss because of a business meeting I had?
What? Business meeting?
That's right.
I met an important business partner.
You really... Your delusional jealousy.
Get it treated at a hospital.
What was all that for?
Next is "x."
Aren't you going to close?
It's past business hours.
From now on, we're closing when the store in front of us does.
Please go home first, Soon Young.
Nam Dae Bak. I won't lose against you in anything.
What happened between you two to have such a bad relationship?
They were romantic rivals.
How did you know that, Ttal Ki?
The owner of the store across from us told me.
I heard the ladies you went after...
had feelings for him.
Who was it again?
Mi Sook?
Right. Are you craving anything?
You've got quite a history, don't you?
No way. That's not true, Soon Young.
My first and last love is...
Gosh. I'm not curious about that.
Just close the store already.
Or are you pulling an all-nighter?
Ttal Ki, it's late. Let's go inside.
Okay.
Come on.
He provoked me, alright.
I'll zip his mouth shut.
Welcome!
What the heck?
If you came as a customer, take a seat.
But if you came as Na Bong Pil, get lost this instant.
Watch your mouth, will you?
If you spout any nonsense to Soon Young,
I'll kill you, then myself.
Try me.
So is the woman you're going after this time Soon Young?
Too bad.
Soon Young is my ideal type.
Gosh.
You're going to cry your eyes out and cause a ruckus again, aren't you?
Who are you setting your eyes on?
I know you got divorced twice.
Soon Young...
is way out of your league.
Gosh, what a square.
Divorce is no biggie these days.
Someone like you who has never dated...
nor held hands with a woman before is a biggie.
Hey, loser.
You're still...
a virgin, aren't you?
What did you say, you punk?
What? Am I wrong?
If I'm wrong, just say so.
How dare you think Soon Young would go out with you?
Na Bong Pil, you ramyun ttang.
What? What does ramyun ttang have anything to do with this?
- You can boil it or stir fry it. - You punk.

(Certification of All Registered Matters)
(CEO Jin Il Seok, Retired November 27, 1992)
You're here very early.
I had something to look into.
How are things? Is work going okay?
I'm adjusting well, thanks to your help.
I see you were looking at our company's history.
Yes.
I wanted to learn Le Blanc's history.
That's right.
You have to know the roots to know the tree.
Thank you.
Excuse me, Chairman Kang.
According to the registry,
Le Blanc's founder was someone else.
(CEO Jin Il Seok, Retired November 27, 1992)
You looked into a lot of detail.
Jin Il Seok is a friend of mine who started Le Blanc with me.
What kind of person...
was he?
Il Seok?
He was...
a soft-hearted idealist.
He was just a naive, rich boy who knew nothing about the world.
If he had been still alive today,
would Le Blanc have grown this much?
It makes me wonder.
I'll let you get back to work.
Work hard.
Chairman Kang.
How did...
his Le Blanc...
become your company?
(Vengeance of the Bride)
I understand what you mean, but let's not hurry.
People might get suspicious.
You want to develop a hand cream?
Please be careful.
Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself, Mr. Kang.
Ba Ram. Why don't you leave Le Blanc before it's too late?
If they find out that you're Ba Ram, they might try to kill you again.
Soon Young? You were alive?
What about Ba Ram? Is she alive? Is she?
