(Episode 9)
Hello?
Yes, honey.
Got it. See you later.
Who is it today?
He's my Thursday guy.
Thursday guy?
Are you seven-timing and not two-timing?
I need breaks too.
I have a guy for each weekday, so five in total.
Dal Hee. Why don't you change...
your last name from Yang to Five?
Do you still have that key ring?
You had it since the first day I saw you at the orphanage.
Isn't that an antique now?
Replace it with a new one.
I can never throw this away.
What? Was it from your first love or something?
Oh, wow. Did you make this yourself?
Yes. People use the compass to find the North Star.
It was because the compass was pointing toward it that...
I was able to meet you.
I had no idea back then, but I guess he was my first love.
Oh, gosh. Seriously? What was he like?
He was warm-hearted and reliable.
He always took my side.
I miss him.
My wish...
is to meet him again someday.
What the heck? That's so heart-rending.
First love is like that.
For real, Eun Seo Yeon? Who was he?
Come on. Spill it.
Hey. Just go on your date.
Seriously? Eun Seo Yeon.
Tell me who it was. Come on.
I already figured out a solution for that.
I already have a sample...
of the new rose pack.
Ms. Kang. Let's talk about the details in my office.
Yes, Chairman.
Oh, Mr. Yoon.
Mr. Kang Tae Poong. Come with us.
Darn it.
Why did the chairman even ask the intern to come?
Maybe he has connections.
Apparently, these were renewed by Ms. Kang.
Fill me in on the details, Mr. Yoon.
He doesn't know about it.
I conducted the research in secret.
But where is the label for the ingredients?
That's just a sample.
What would you, an intern, know?
Give it to me.
Gosh.
Don't you know the research approval process?
You should've handed in the research development report...
before making the sample.
I was going to explain everything with the sample.
But you stopped by out of the blue.
For real? Isn't the sample what came out of the blue?
I will submit the formal report as soon as possible.
We don't have much time.
So release the mask the moment the ingredients get approved.
Yes, sir.
How did you develop that sample without me knowing?
I managed to pull it off.
Are you saying you did it alone...
without testing the mixture or reporting it to me?
I wanted to show you my ability.
Are you sure there aren't any problems?
What am I? A troublemaker or something?
It took you over half a year to develop the rose pack.
So how could you have developed a perfect sample in just a few days?
What is with you? Even the chairman was satisfied.
Don't you trust me?
Who on earth would trust you?
Darn it. This is heavy.
What the heck?
Why am I in charge of the meeting room's water dispenser?
People should make better use of such highly trained personnel.
You're just an intern. Stop butting in.
This is an important discussion.
I'm a member of the development team.
I should take part in it.
Speaking of which, why did the atmosphere turn cold earlier?
When you held up that renewed facial mask,
our teammates looked like they had no idea where that came from.
I told you I had developed it on my own.
Oh, is that so?
Then let's have a look...
at the ingredient analysis report right away.
What are you doing?
Kang Ba Da.
This is crucial.
Are you sure you made it?
Tell me the ingredients and mixture ratio.
And how the natural material was dissolved.
Kang Ba Da.
My mom got it from a beauty shop.
What?
You already know products use similar ingredients and ratios.
I'm simply going to use it as a reference. Nobody will know.
Gosh. How can you be so shameless about stealing it?
I know you're desperate.
But you shouldn't have crossed the line.
Let's take the proper procedure...
and get the original developer's permission.
That's unnecessary.
I'm in charge of planning and development.
I'll take care of it.
Where's the place?
Thank you. Please come again.
Gosh, stop it.
Seriously. Let's just go.
A place like this is really expensive.
It's my birthday present to you.
May I help you?
Do you work here?
Yes. Tell me what you need.
Today's my mom's birthday.
Can you transform my mom into the world's most beautiful woman?
Of course.
You're very lucky.
We're actually holding an event today.
Birthday stars get a free makeover.
Here. We're all done.
My gosh. You look beautiful, Mom.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Today's a happy day. You should smile.
It's been ten years since I last had makeup on...
after my husband passed away.
I felt bad for grooming myself...
when my husband left the world first.
- Mom. - Sweetie.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Bye.
Please come again.
Was that for free?
Yes.
Please take out that guest's expense from my salary...
and the hours I spent from my working hours. Thank you.
Eun Seo Yeon.
She's unbelievable.
Yes, this is Kang Tae Poong.
Oh. Were you waiting for my call?
You answered right away.
Who is this?
Oh, from the blind date?
Gosh, so you remember my voice.
Yes, this is Hong Jo Yi.
I see.
I'm hanging up now.
Ms. Hong Jo Yi?
Hi.
I'm late, aren't I?
No. I just got here too.
Thank you for coming to see me when I called you all of a sudden.
Don't mention it.
I should thank you for asking me to come.
Please relax in front of me, Mother.
Mother?
Then I'll take up on that offer.
Okay.
I can tell who Tae Poong takes after now.
You've got such distinct features and fair skin.
Tae Poong is the spitting image of you. No wonder he's that charming.
Gosh, stop flattering me.
May I borrow your beauty, Mother?
Me?
KBC is running a special show called...
"The First Class Women."
Oh, yes. I know that show.
They show the daily lives of wives of big corporations...
and interviews them, right?
It's a hot topic among the ladies.
It's all we talk about when we get together.
Really?
Then could I possibly have you star in that show?
Oh, my goodness.
Me?
We're talking about Le Blanc.
The madam of the best beauty brand can't be left out.
That's true.
Yes. Of course not.
Tae Poong joined Le Blanc as well.
Really? He must be the chief director.
No.
A general manager?
No.
Then as a senior manager?
You see, as an intern.
It's all to prepare him for succession.
Tae Poong will become the owner of Le Blanc.
I see.
Here.
This is a gift from your future daughter-in-law,
my future mother-in-law.
Oh, my gosh. Isn't this the newly released bag?
I can't believe you recognized it right away.
You've got such a good eye.
If nothing else, I remember the date my babies were born.
Babies?
Yes, bags are my babies.
Goodness. I was about to get it myself.
Seriously. Thank you so much, Jo Yi.
No problem.
Ms. Nam! Welcome.
I have an important TV interview soon.
I'd like to get some skin treatment for the time being.
Good idea, Ms. Nam.
You should put time into making your skin glow like pearls.
Why don't I serve you today?
Ms. Kim.
Didn't I ask you to assign me to Designer Eun?
- Ms. Eun. - Yes?
Have you been well, Ms. Eun?
It's been a while.
I met with my future daughter-in-law today.
Your son must be getting married.
Congratulations.
One thing led to another and getting my son married...
became my goal.
They say children are uncontrollable.
You can't imagine what a nightmare he was.
He had rebelled over everything, ran away from home,
and got hurt while riding a motorcycle.
When I sent him to the US,
he took up car racing.
As if he was asking for death,
he went around doing dangerous things.
Plus, he was never once sweet to me.
His words were as sharp as a knife and stabbed my heart.
The wrinkles around my eyes were all caused by my son.
Don't look down.
Don't cry, either.
Are you going to give up like this?
Don't give up, Kang Ba Ram.
Even when a hedgehog draws out its quills,
it's still cute and warm on the inside.
Even though he seems tough on the outside,
I'm sure he's a kind person on the inside.
Do you think so?
You sound like you know him.
It's just a guess.
Regardless, that was kind of you to say that.
He could find happiness and stability...
once he gets married, right?
I'm sure he will.
That'd be so nice.
I see Tae Poong's getting married.
Please be happy, Tae Poong.
You do home visits, right?
Of course.
Then please send Designer Eun to my house next week.
Really?
We're filming a very important interview at my house that day.
That's awesome.
Of course. We'll send Designer Eun...
I'm sorry. I don't think I can go.
I'm just a staff member.
I don't think it would be fair to other designers...
for me to do home visits already.
What should we do? I want Designer Eun.
Don't worry, Ms. Nam.
We'll do as you wish.
Good.
I can't believe this.
I'm losing my mind.
Ms. Nam must really like you.
The universe is speaking to you.
Since the interview will be on TV,
you should ask to have your name, Designer Eun Seo Yeon, on the screen.
If you become famous,
Goeun products will also become more famous.
I'm going to have to quit.
What? What are you talking about?
Dal Hee. Don't forget about our goal.
Goal? What goal?
Is your goal to starve to death?
Our most important goal is to make great beauty products...
that make people happy.
Still, this isn't the time to quit.
You were the one who said we should stick it out.
How am I supposed to go to that house?
I can't do that.
Oh, my.
What?
Were you spending money all day long?
Gosh.
It wasn't with my own money.
Mother.
We're going to get a daughter-in-law from S Group soon.
What? What group?
You remember Tae Poong's blind date.
She was the one...
who gave me all of these gifts.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
Also, she even wanted to interview me.
It's for a series that interviews wives of successful businessmen.
Interview, my foot.
I'm sure it's just rich women showing off.
You really don't understand how the world works, Mother.
This is going to be helpful for Le Blanc.
Wait.
(Ten thousand dollars)
Oh, my. Is this really the price of this bag?
Oh, my.
Oh, my baby.
How could you throw something like this?
That girl won't do.
How could she spend so much money...
on things like this?
Oh, my baby. Are you okay?
This is a luxury brand, you know.
This bag is almost impossible to buy even if you have enough money.
It's extremely rare.
Be quiet.
This girl is a bad seed.
I'm absolutely against this marriage.
Mother.
Tae Poong should marry a girl...
who knows how to save her money.
This girl is just like you. She won't do.
No way. Oh, goodness.
Absolutely not.
Oh, my. Seriously.
We really don't see eye to eye. Oh, goodness.
Gosh.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
You ready? Okay?
You're both so pretty. What are your names?
You want to know my name?
I do. My name is Bae Ttal Ki, like the berry.
My mom ate a ton of strawberries...
when she was pregnant with me.
Your name is Ttal Ki?
That's such a cute name.
My name is Kim A Reum, and her name is Na Bo Ra, like the color.
My name is red, and your name is purple.
We have such colorful names.
Your daughter looks just like you.
Daughter?
He's not my dad.
I'm my mom's daughter. Her name is Bae Soon Young.
- Come here. Enjoy. - Thank you.
Soon Young. You said it's been 20 years.
You ask every customer if her name is Ba Ram or Bo Ram or whatever.
Wouldn't she have come to see you if she were alive?
Mister.
Yes, Ttal Ki.
I told you.
This was where my mom and Ba Ram saw each other for the last time.
I know, of course.
That's why I opened up a store here.
It's all for your mom.
I really appreciate that, Mr. Na.
You gave Ttal Ki and me a place to stay when we had nowhere else to go.
I'm truly grateful.
I feel like I've been very selfish.
Oh, Soon Young. I didn't mean that.
Mister. Don't you see?
What?
If you keep saying that Ba Ram is dead,
my mom might stop working here.
Will you be able to handle that?
Of course not.
I can't live without her, Ttal Ki.
Exactly. So stop being so insensitive.
Gosh.
Seo Yeon.
Go to the lounge, right now.
Someone from Le Blanc is here for you.
Le Blanc?
I was told that you came here to see me.
Are you Ms. Eun Seo Yeon?
I'm from Le Blanc.
My name is Yoon San Deul.
Yoon San Deul?
(General Manager of Planning and Development, Yoon San Deul)
The person who was always on my side.
The person who loved me the most in this world.
We shouldn't have met.
We shouldn't have recognized each other.
What a terrible deal.
Le Blanc gets all of the benefits,
and Fiore only gets a name.
I can't agree with that.
Chairman Cha.
If you don't accept this deal,
I will have no choice but to take back...
the money we invested in Fiore.
How dare you threaten me?
Wouldn't Fiore go bankrupt...
without Le Blanc's funds?
What are you so angry about?
I'm saving your company with this merger.
What? You're saving my company?
Do you expect me to believe that?
You once promised me that you would...
share information on Japanese rowan, but you broke your promise.
You have no loyalty.
Loyalty?
You were the one who tried to steal the information on Japanese rowan from me.
Don't you get it, old man?
What?
Your company is nothing but an empty shell now.
If you want to get out with some retirement money,
it'll be in your best interest...
to agree to the merger.
Mr. Oh.
Follow that car.
What's wrong, Chairman Kang?
Hurry.
We're offering you a price that's way above industry average.
All you'd have to do is give up on getting the approval...
from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and sell the product to us.
I'm not interested.
Please give it more thought.
I won't sell it, no matter what you offer me.
A good product should be used by as many people as possible.
Le Blanc has a wide reach.
We can help you achieve your dreams.
Sorry, sir. Goodbye.
Yoon Hee.
I'm sure that was Seo Yoon Hee.
What's going on?
Yoon Hee died that day.
(Staff Room)
Please review the contract, at least.
This area is for employees only. You can't come in here.
I'm sorry.
I was in a rush.
Take this with you.
Please contact me after you've had some time to think about it.
Thank you for your time.
Where...
did you get that?
I have to go.
Who are you?
Why do you...
You...
Are you Ba Ram?
(Vengeance of the Bride)
What? Who?
How? She died 30 years ago.
- She said she had to see you. - Me?
Do you know the makeup shop called Glam? We are employees there.
Eun Seo Yeon. She's a cool person.
What did I do? We just have to launch the product first.
Why did you make such a big mess? You should've asked me first!
If Ba Ram were alive now, what do you think she'd look like?
You're Ba Ram, right?
