Let's see. Okay, looking good.
We'll all gather on channel three.
This must be why we need fresh blood.
The company's giving us the opportunity...
to laugh and look back on...
our own innocent past selves.
Is anything she's wearing not a luxury item?
Hi.
You know how to use an earpiece walkie-talkie, right?
- Yes. - The channel is already set.
Thank you.
We'll be opening the doors in an hour,
- so get ready. - Yes, sir.
Will 20 percent of extra food be enough?
Sure.
Tell them to keep the wine glasses full.
- Alcohol opens their purses. - Yes, ma'am.
Let's go over the checklist.
Pull her hair or something.
That's probably more human.
I'm still not sure it's her yet.
What do we do?
It seems like a bottle of wine is bouchonne.
(Bouchonne: tainted wine due to a poor-quality cork)
What are the chances of the others being tainted?
Most are vintage wine which requires complex maintenance.
Some might've not been stored in the correct condition.
We'll only know once we open the bottles.
Then check the bottles every time you open one.
Any tainted wine must be discarded immediately.
How many extra bottles of wine do we have?
About 10.
Wine consumption speeds up as the event carries on.
It's common sense to have more extra wine than food.
I tried obtaining as much as I could...
even though most were rare vintage bottles.
I honestly thought 10 more than normal would be enough.
I'm sorry.
I'll stock up with bottles that are in the same price range.
The wine will be served to a whole floor of people.
You should've based your selection on attainability rather than rarity.
Guests will only complain...
if different wine is served to different tables.
What's your solution to that?
Secure enough extra bottles to serve at the event...
and switch all the wine to that brand once we run out.
Yes, ma'am.
If we make a mistake today,
we'll probably die.
That's human of her.
(Episode 8: Tifone, Typhoon)
Foreign Minister Ma Jang Ho and his wife are coming in.
Did you have any difficulties in finding the venue?
We had a great trip thanks to you.
You don't have strong legs, do you?
Thank you for your concern.
You should work out a lot.
This is a huge deal, but I have no way of explaining it.
Goodness, honey. Let's go inside.
This way, please.
Vice President Ha Jae Woong and his wife are coming in.
Great work.
Honey.
Yu Ri, Sang Woo and I can take care of the entrance.
Can you look after the backstage area?
Right here, sir.
Yes, ma'am.
Please be careful.
I found extra wine.
It'll get here before one o'clock, so I doubt we will run out.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I made a huge mistake on this important day...
How long will you stand there?
Go check everything one more time instead of standing there...
to make sure there aren't any more mistakes.
Yes.
CEO Park Do Chang is going back inside.
Excuse me, you are not allowed to film the VIPs.
Ms. Lee, he's just going to film the VIP Management Team.
- You don't have to worry. - Our VIPs hate...
getting on camera.
It doesn't matter who he's filming. Having a camera is the problem.
Let's just film behind-the-scenes.
Please remove the camera.
Look who this is.
Oh, this girl that I...
used to know.
Say hi to her. This is my wife.
Welcome.
I didn't expect to see you here.
Right, I heard about your mother.
Oh, I see your colleagues don't know that yet.
Let me show you to your seats.
Director Jung Tae Min and his wife of Songhak Fashion are...
coming in.
Hello, sir.
It's not that easy to ask you to join us at once.
The Tifone exhibit was worth it if I can have all of you here.
I asked our major shareholders to join us today...
to ask you to side with me...
when I bring up the dismissal of Chairman Ha Dae Ho...
during our next general meeting.
40 percent of the executives are the founding members.
You'll face harsh opposition.
I thought those two were on Chairman Ha's side.
Thankfully, Mr. Song and Mr. Park...
decided to side with me.
If we have their support,
the opposing side won't be able to do much.
We can only make a limited amount of change...
as long as Chairman Ha keeps his position.
But the times have changed.
If we stick to our old ways, we won't survive the competition.
We need new blood in our department store.
And are you that new blood?
As you know, Sung Un has always been the third place.
But merely three years after I was appointed as the vice president,
we became the second place.
Once I begin to steer the business, we may not be very far...
from reaching first place in the industry.
We need the courage to make a change.
We're businessmen.
Let's just think numbers.
I want to make my bet on him.
Thank you, Father.
You need to have...
such ambition as a man.
Don't worry about the shareholders.
They already know that to turn your back on you is...
to turn their backs on me as well.
They won't be able to turn their backs on Daehan Group.
Right, why don't we go play golf this weekend...
with Myung Eun?
- Of course. - Good.
Make sure my wife doesn't spot that girl today.
I can't do anything that offends her.
Yes, sir.
It won't be long before we bring change to Sung Un.
Please fill up the wine glasses as soon as they are empty.
Yes.
Are you all right?
Yes.
The servers for tables 3 and 4...
keep bumping into each other, so have them be careful.
Yes.
(Trimebutine: Antiemetic medication)
The auctioneer is here.
Should we get the stage ready?
Yu Ri isn't skilled yet,
so make sure she isn't put into work where the VIPs can see her.
A small mistake can lead to big trouble.
Yes, I understand.
The auction will begin in an hour. We won't have any problems, right?
Not at all, Ms. Na.
What happened to your kids if you two are both working overtime?
We kneeled down before our nanny and asked her for help...
while offering her a bonus.
Young Jun and Seo Jun must be big boys now.
Goodness.
They should grow up faster and move out.
Or I'd like to... Just kidding.
Any plans for a younger sibling for Seo Jun?
No way. I'd have to be crazy. Another child?
Just the idea... I'm not interested.
Did Mi Na say she wants another child?
No, no.
Right? That's impossible.
- Mr. Lee, check something for me. - Okay.
- You can go. - Okay.
Ms. Na.
Look out for Mi Na for me.
She looks like she's tired.
Sure.
I'll arrange it for you.
Is there something you need?
I'd like to chat with CEO Park.
Can you switch my seat?
I apologize. I can't change the seating.
Don't be like that.
We have...
a past.
I apologize.
Your mother.
Where is she staying at?
Was that too loud?
We're more than just acquaintances.
I'm concerned.
I'll see if I can set up a smaller sub-table...
with refreshments.
Thanks.
Hey. We have a problem.
Chairwoman Lee of Hanjeong Group wishes to bid anonymously?
Yes. She's coming with another partner...
and doesn't want to be seen in public.
But she still wants to bid.
If she bids in private,
the other VIPs will complain she got special treatment.
She's the number one Black Diamond member, so we can't refuse.
It's not just about that.
You know.
Hanjeong is the most successful company in Korea...
and can buy us out at any time.
How about we arrange for a proxy bidder?
Let's do that.
Set up a private room so she can observe the auction.
Okay.
She's coming with her lover.
And he's a celebrity too.
Who is it?
Stay holed up in there forever.
Even the toilet's too rich for you.
I thought Chairwoman Lee would never show up.
Hanjeong Group owns five percent of our shares.
Arrange a meeting after the auction.
- Yes, sir. - Good.
I hope the trip was pleasurable.
It was.
Where's the room?
I'll escort you.
It's nice here.
No way. Jung Ho Min is her lover?
Is his drama over?
He doesn't need to work for a living now, does he?
The auction's scheduled to begin in 30 minutes.
You can watch it on TV and bid with the tablet.
Our proxy will bid for you.
Is there a bedroom?
That's more important to me.
Yes. There's a bedroom that way.
Ms. Na. Stay with them in the suite...
and serve the chairwoman.
- Report if anything happens. - I will.
Ms. Lee and Ms. Kang, watch over the proceedings.
- Okay. - Okay.
"Is there a bedroom? That's more important to me."
I almost clapped, you know?
I've never seen the chairwoman laugh.
He's really something.
I can't even tell anyone what I saw.
You be careful.
A slip of your tongue could lead to your death.
Oh, dear me.
It's like the story of the king with donkey ears.
Excuse me.
What?
At the event.
It's not for just anyone.
I'll bring you a limited edition.
Okay. Let's talk later.
Why do people keep calling? We can barely eat.
Enjoy your meal.
Watch over for a moment.
Hanjeong Group's Director Park In Hwan?
Isn't he Chairwoman Lee's husband?
Does she know he's coming?
Let's check.
What now? We can't refuse someone who has an invitation.
Prepare his seat and escort him in.
I'll inform Ms. Na.
Okay.
I can't stop thinking that we're cursed this year.
He's already here.
Welcome, sir.
I'm late.
The auction hasn't begun yet, right?
Not yet. Someone inside will show you to your seat.
Hanjeong Group's Director Park just entered. Show him in.
His father was the CEO of a mid-sized company,
so Hanjeong Group's founder disapproved of him vehemently.
They got married despite that,
and now they both have lovers.
- Aren't they getting a divorce? - The lawsuit's ongoing.
It's a real war.
Even ordinary couples hit rock bottom towards the end.
Rich people will have it worse.
I've never seen anything like this.
It looks like fun.
I understand.
Madam, I have something to tell you.
Director Park is here.
Sort it out for me.
- Darling. - What?
- Are you sick? - No.
You seem like you are.
I have to go.
I would like to thank all the guests for...
attending the auction tonight.
We will now present the first item.
84,000 dollars, 86,000 dollars,
88,000 dollars, 90,000 dollars.
The bid will now jump in 3,000 dollars.
95,000 dollars was just bid,
we have 98,000 dollars, and now 10,000 dollars.
The bid will now jump in 5,000 dollars.
105,000 dollars anyone? Okay, 105,000 dollars.
110,000 dollars, 115,000 dollars,
120,000 dollars, 125,000 dollars,
and now we're up to 130,000 dollars.
Yes, 150,000 dollars.
We're now at 150,000 dollars.
Bidder number 77...
is the winner at 150,000 dollars.
Where on earth have you people been all day?
Don't you have anything better to do...
than follow us around all day long?
Well, this is my job.
Thanks for getting me a closer seat to Mr. Park.
Anyway, my wife now wants to sit...
at a table closer to the stage.
I'm sure you can get us new seats.
My apologies, sir. Like I said before,
you can't switch seats.
Don't be this way.
I'm sorry.
Now you're upsetting me.
You can't do this when you know I care about you.
Get us our new seats, okay?
Just tell them.
Listen up.
My family is broke.
My mom is on the run from creditors...
and my situation isn't any better.
Happy now?
You asked why I hate you so much.
This is why.
You're a loser to the core.
What?
Get over yourself.
Your family was nothing until you caught a big break.
Our people don't see you as one of us.
This is why those unworthy should be kicked to the curb.
You should know your place.
- Hey... - Is that so?
Well, does your wife know...
that a restraining order was issued against you...
for stalking...
this worthless thing?
Tae Min,
get within a 100m radius of me again...
and you'll spend the night in a holding cell.
Fine.
All you have left is your pride anyway.
Roll around in the mud all you want...
and call me when you're ready to grovel.
We're still acquaintances,
so I'll consider helping you a charity.
Can I call your wife instead then?
She seems sweet.
Honey?
Right.
I'll check on the movements backstage.
It's okay to cry, you know.
We've all been there ourselves,
so it's okay to let it out.
Finally, it's time for the highlight of tonight's event.
This necklace features a red diamond which is known to be...
the most expensive gem in the world.
Tifone's original "thin mystery" setting was applied...
and only three has been made to be sold worldwide.
The bid will begin at 1.02 million dollars.
The bid will jump at a rate of 10,000 dollars.
1.02 million dollars, 1.03 million dollars,
1.04 million dollars, 1.05 million dollars,
and 1.06 million dollars. Now 50,000 dollars each, please.
1.8 million dollars, 1.85 million dollars,
1.9 million dollars,
1.95 million dollars. Anyone for 2 million dollars?
We have 2.1 million dollars.
2.15 million dollars,
2.2 million dollars, 2.25 million dollars,
2.3 million dollars, 2.35 million dollars,
and 2.4 million dollars.
The bid will jump in 100,000 dollars now.
2.5 million dollars and 2.6 million dollars.
Anyone for 2.7 million dollars?
Won't you go further, sir?
2.6 million dollars. Going once,
going twice,
sold to bidder number 39...
at 2.6 million dollars.
Congratulations.
You sure live in a different world.
A necklace worth 2.6 million dollars?
Dessert is served.
Which team are you from?
I'm from Catering Team One.
The Kim Dong Hui I know is a female employee.
I'm afraid I must check your ID.
Please stay here while I call security.
I apologize for the commotion. I just need to confirm something.
- Are you all right? - Yes, what about you?
Stop it!
That's enough. Stop it.
Tell Director Park...
that I need to see him.
I owe you one.
I knew number 39 was you.
It wasn't something you can have anyway.
You just raised up the price because of your greed.
Thanks to me, you ended up paying much more for that.
What a waste.
I would have used that...
as a key weapon in our divorce suit.
You would...
never let me disclose these pictures to the media.
It goes the same for you too.
How dare you bring a girl like that?
That's also because...
I know you will never let anyone else hear of that,
so you'll keep it quiet too.
I know how much you are concerned about others.
If you back off, I won't put you in trouble either.
You're still very shallow.
You can't threaten Hanjeong Group like this.
I guess that's just who you are.
What?
You're sitting here and bickering with me right now...
because you're the husband of Chairman Lee Sun Young.
Once you get kicked out of Hanjeong,
do you think you can ever sit face-to-face with me?
Don't get so greedy.
You can't have anything.
No matter what the price is,
I will not let you...
have anything in your hands.
Darn it.
How much longer do I have to wait?
Hey.
Can you throw in a men's watch...
on top of the things that she bought today?
I mean, you can't even tell if you add a couple of grand...
on top of the millions she spent?
I apologize.
It's impossible to add more items...
other than the ones that the VIP has ordered.
I'm a VIP here too.
I apologize.
Oh, it doesn't concern me?
If you make a formal order,
we will make sure it gets to you right away.
I already caught you.
"That piece of garbage. Why does he live like that?"
Isn't that what you're thinking?
Sir, it's a misunderstanding...
I can see how you despise me through your smile.
Sir, I believe it's a misunderstanding.
Babe, you should work on your skills.
It's way too obvious.
No matter who I am,
you have to work for me.
Gosh, you must have told him off.
Sun Young, you should leave a nerd like him...
and come live with me.
Don't be too cheeky while I still think you're cute.
I chose to live with him for 20 years.
I thought you could at least take a clue if you aren't smart.
Ms. Lee, I have something to tell you.
You should ask Ms. Kim Ji Seon regarding the catering.
Hey.
You're starting to look like a part of the VIP Management Team.
It must hurt quite a lot, but you won't even make a sound.
It'll do you damage if you hold it in too much.
There's nothing wrong with his bones.
You'll have severe muscle pain for a while.
I'll put on some pain relief patches.
I'll do that after the event.
I can't go around with that smell.
Okay, then.
Are you all right?
Just say it if you're in pain.
How can I know if you won't tell me?
You have to say it.
I will.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you everything...
after we're done today.
Thank you for coming out, Chairwoman Lee.
I have to leave soon,
so let's cut to the chase.
I will not beat around the bush since you are a busy woman.
Can you use the shares you have of Sung Un Department Store...
to be on my side?
I like you, Vice President Ha.
You're an ambitious man...
who also has the competence to make it become a reality.
But...
I have a lot in my hands because of my family affairs.
It's not like I'm a stranger to Chairman Ha.
It's a little tough for me...
to be a part of another family's feud. I'm sorry.
Is there a possibility that you might reconsider?
However, I will remain neutral.
I guess that's that.
Once you decide on something, you rarely change your mind.
Thank you for understanding.
But do give me a call if you ever change your mind.
Nothing bad will come from having me on your side.
I will.
Then please excuse me. I must go.
Goodbye.
That cheeky brat.
Do you need help?
I got lost after I used the restroom.
Let me show you to your seat.
Thank you.
I sent Mr. Han on his way because you wouldn't return.
This young lady here gave me a hand.
Isn't she that girl?
The one that the vice president of Sung Un keeps on the side.
Excuse me, can you bring me more wine?
Yes.
I was asking you.
Right.
Of course.
Which wine is this?
It's an 1864 vintage Chateau Margot.
It's full-bodied and has a large amount of tannin,
but it's well-matured with a deep flavor.
Yes. Maturity and depth are all good,
but I prefer lighter wines these days.
It's new and fresh,
so it makes me feel alive.
Is that why men go after such women?
Do you have anything like that?
Could you please give me a moment?
I'll serve her. You check behind the scenes.
She asked for me.
Chairwoman Lee will be leaving in 10 minutes.
I'm curious myself.
May I taste the wine?
Sure.
It has gone bad.
Even if it's new,
if it's rotten, it's trash. Aren't I right?
Or maybe the rotten smell isn't coming from the wine.
You're not even worth a bottle of wine.
Let's go to Chairwoman Lee.
Yes, sir.
I apologize. I should've kept a closer watch.
Never again.
My people can't afford to mess up.
You, the man with weak legs.
Take this for me.
Don't show that you know me.
Are you a superhero or something?
Why can't you greet your own dad?
What if my colleagues see?
It'll only be a nuisance.
Director Park should know.
What...
- How? - If he's your superior,
he would've seen your file. What do you mean by "how?"
Go home before people see.
- My goodness. - Gosh. Let's go.
He must think he's special, overreacting like that.
What are you doing?
I'm checking the list of successful bidders.
No...
Mr. Lee.
Could you check this for us?
- So this... - This is the code.
You didn't bleed too much and fortunately it stopped.
It's still early stages and you must rest.
Okay. Thank you.
And...
I haven't told my team that I'm pregnant yet.
Can you keep it a secret?
I will. Get some rest.
Excuse me.
I was told Mr. Park's here. Where did he go?
He got called to supervise the dismantling.
He'll be a while.
Okay.
What now?
Director Park should know.
Let's see...
(Park Sung Jun's PC)
(New Folder)
He's a man after all.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you everything...
after we're done today.
I'll be waiting at Crocus Coffee Shop.
(Can you come? Just this once.)
Who is it?
I'm sorry.
I know...
I'm not supposed to call you,
but today...
It was just too...
(VIP)
- Ms. On! - Is it someone I know?
I now know that you can't glue back broken glass.
Did you see the article? The video...
I thought you were cautious, but I guess I was wrong.
- Mi Na! - I feel like my mom...
is being punished for my wrongdoings.
Take a good look at what you have ruined.
Are you seeing her again?
Jung Sun, let's end this.
