This is Ha Jae-bum. Sorry to call so late, Yu-mi.
Could I get a hold of Ga-eun's design portfolio?
That's right. I want to look into a few job openings.
Can you get it for me without telling her that I asked for it?
Thank you.
Would you like some tea?
I'm fine. I brought it.
Thank you. I'm sorry for inconveniencing you.
Don't mention it.
I looked into a few places with Ga-eun's resume, but had no real luck.
She has too little experience at her age.
And the fashion industry's all about one's fashion sense.
They give minus points for being a housewife.
I didn't know how to tell Ga-eun, so thank you for helping out.
Looking around is no big deal.
Please pretend that it's all your doing.
You should tell her the truth.
She'll turn down the job if she knows I set it up.
Did you bring me good news?
Take a guess.
A new job, right?
It's about 90% sure. Just pass the interview.
Thanks, Yu-mi. You're a lifesaver.
Finally, a real smile.
Go here. They were interested in your resume and portfolio.
I feel a little bad. You're so happy but it's only an internship.
Don't be silly. I don't expect a full-time job with my background.
I'm so happy.
I was so depressed after I got fired from the ribs place.
I felt pretty useless.
Thanks, Yu-mi.
You worked at a ribs place?
A housewife has nothing else to do outside of the house.
No one will give me a chance unless I've got tons of work experience.
Even young people can't find jobs. Who'd hire a middle-aged woman?
I guess that's reality.
Even so, it couldn't have been easy for you to start working.
I'm fine. I'm not afraid because I'll be working for my family.
And I'll be able to raise Na-ri.
I'm learning a lot about the world these days.
Unfortunately, in exchange for stiff payment.
Shouldn't you sign the divorce papers? Alimony would lessen the burden.
No, I'm not signing anything until I get back Na-ri.
Just one more bite.
Na-ri, it's beef porridge, your favorite.
See this, huh? I hear she ate just fine at Ga-eun's.
Na-ri, please eat. That's a good girl.
Want me to feed you? Ah.
I'm afraid she'll grow depressed.
Did she cry all day again yesterday?
She wailed for her mother all night.
I swear, I feel myself age when I take care of her.
I've got enough going on. Must I be responsible for her?
Just take care of her for the time being.
I made an appointment at a new hospital so take her there.
Doctors are helpful, but you need to spend more time with her.
Without Ga-eun here, your absence will only make her more nervous.
Alright.
And don't bring that tramp!
You know that Na-ri freaks out when she sees her.
Tell her not to do anything rash.
- She's Na-ri's birthmother. - You're still pushing that?
Who cares if she is?
I don't get you at all.
Objectively speaking, anyone would say Ga-eun's a thousand times better.
Yet you side with Mi-ran because she's the mother.
You don't know what you're talking about.
By the way, I met your husband. There's no hope there.
Divorce him and get a fresh start.
No point holding onto just the body.
That inconveniences and harms both parties.
That's not revenge.
Jung-woo!
Yu-mi, will I survive without Na-ri?
It'll be hard at first, but that might be best for you.
You're still young. It's not too late for a fresh start.
I heard that couples these days fight NOT to get custody of the children.
I don't understand that at all. How can they be so selfish?
Agreed.
I thought it was my duty to raise my son when his father gave up custody.
Turns out, he's real busy these days being a dad to his new wife's kid.
Yeah?
Ridiculous, isn't it?
Abandons his own kid but plays dad to a stranger.
Most divorced men live like that.
Then again, if I remarry, I'd want him to be a father to Kyung-min.
How can parents abandon their children?
My heart aches if I even think about letting Na-ri go.
So what do you plan to do? You can't keep up this suffering.
I'm trying to decide what to do.
Either way, I can't forgive those two.
Use that as motivation to live.
Where did your mother and Young-eun go so early in the morning?
The sauna. They don't like washing at home.
That's the one.
This is for you, Jung-hee. And this is for Mother.
And this is for my pretty Na-ri.
How can you be so shameless?
Think what you did to Na-ri will go away with a few gifts?
You know that's not my intent.
I regretted taking her away by force that day.
I thought she was all better.
Mother, I'm sorry. I've been repenting.
Repenting, my butt.
A mother who drinks in front of her child doesn't know how to repent.
I'm sorry, Mother.
This is surprising. Since when do you lower your head?
Next thing you know, the sun will rise in the west.
I was so upset I drank that day.
I got into trouble with both you and Jung-woo.
Jung-woo scolded you, did he?
He did.
Said he wouldn't see me again if I talk back to you and act rashly with Na-ri.
Of course he did. Always says the right thing, my son.
Mom, you seriously believe what she says?
Jung-hee, why would I lie?
I realize that she's my daughter but I can't force my way on her.
So please don't be angry.
I thought a lot about how I must behave as Na-ri's mother.
My mother wanted to come apologize but I told her to come next time.
I thought I should apologize first.
Like an apology will make up for all the hair I lost.
Go tell her I have no intention of becoming in-laws with a brute like her.
I'm afraid Na-ri will cry if I stay any longer.
I'll leave now, Mother.
Wait...
Na-ri.
See you next time.
The tail-between-her-legs attitude is so unlike her.
What was that about?
Mom, you didn't fall for it, did you?
Fall for what? You think I'm so easy?
She bought a lot of things.
Like a bunch of gifts will make up for all her wicked acts.
What's this?
What is it?
Is this... Could it be...
I've never seen it up close...
Diamond?
It's real. Mom, it's a real diamond.
Oh-oh-oh, this is a diamond ring?
I've never seen one before.
Sir, I have something to tell you.
Okay. What is it?
Reports say that Director Ha Jae-bum is asking around about Star Fashion.
What?
You should be more careful.
Is that from a reliable source?
Yes.
Just how close are Jae-bum and Ga-eun?
It's the quiet ones that are worse.
How can she criticize my past the way she's behaving?
Honey, isn't this a clear-cut case of adultery here?
You actually answered my call today.
I was planning to go to your house again if you didn't.
That was a joke.
About the thing you asked me to look into.
Yes.
Ever hear of an Italian investor?
An Italian investor?
Yes, by the name of Paulo Luca.
Ever hear your father or Park Jung-woo mention him?
Paulo Luca?
No, I've never heard that name before.
I never heard of my father or Jung-woo being in touch with Italians.
That so?
Then he's a supporter of Star Fashion.
Yes, their greatest stockholder.
Kim Mi-ran also has a substantial amount.
Does she?
I'll report to you if I find out anything else.
What is it?
Can we meet? I have something to say.
You're wasting your time if it's about the divorce papers.
I'm busy. What do you want?
Busy? Got another date with that jerk Ha Jae-bum?
- What? - Cut the innocent act, Ga-eun.
What the hell?
What did you tell me when I asked about Ha Jae-bum?
You told me not to be vulgar.
Unfortunately, you can't deny it anymore.
Not with this evidence.
And what exactly do these pictures prove?
What else? The adulterous affair between you two.
What's going on here? What's between you two?
You really want to know?
Fine, then I'll tell you. No reason not to.
We went together to visit Sung-eun in prison.
He's apologized several times for not telling me about your affair.
That's our relationship. Got a problem with it?
You should've ended with the prison visit.
Why take flowers from him and such?
You're still my wife by law.
You could be held at fault if you go around with other men.
Understand?
So you had us tailed and took our pictures to blackmail me?
Is that it?
Take as many pictures as you want. I'll never be at fault.
You know better than anyone that you're at fault.
So stop with all this nonsense.
What? Nonsense?
You're saying there's nothing between you and Hae Jae-bum?
Think the rest of the world is like you?
Don't even think about keeping up this vulgar accusation.
Playing innocent until the end, eh?
You're still my wife by law. Keep your personal life clean.
What about you? Aren't you still my husband?
How's your personal life right now?
Why have you been meeting Ha Jae-bum so often?
Anyone will tell you you two look like you're dating.
Your vulgar eyes will make everything out to be vulgar.
Yoo Ga-eun!
You'll sink this low to find fault with me, huh?
You disgust me.
Thought this would coerce me into signing the divorce papers?
- In your dreams. - He's made you lose all propriety.
Since when are you so rude to me?
I don't want to say more in fear I'll say something nasty.
But go look in the mirror.
See for yourself what filthy thing you did before you criticize me.
I don't want to dignify your inappropriate accusations with an explanation.
Insisting on your innocence, are you?
But in these pictures, you look at him like you're in love.
Jung-woo, you...
If you want to feign innocence, I'll just have to find more solid evidence.
If it turns out you two are really together, I won't divorce you either.
Even if you beg and plead, I'll keep you two separated.
I won't let you get away with that, you hear?
Why did I find out so late what kind of man you are?
I feel sorry for you, Jung-woo.
Where are you going? I'm not done yet.
Fine, I'll give you your divorce.
It's a waste to want revenge on a fool like you.
- What? - Hard of hearing?
I'll divorce you.
But I'm not giving up Na-ri.
This dress is so pretty.
What's so pretty?
Mom, look at this. Wouldn't it look great on me?
I wish I could buy it.
But all I can do is wish.
Why do I want to buy and eat everything now that I can't?
Mom, remember the restaurant we always went to?
I want a thick, moist steak from there.
You want steak?
Yeah. When do we get to eat out?
What if we're never able to eat there again?
How did our lives end up like this?
I'm so upset.
Shall I snag a rich guy and get married?
Then I could eat all the steak I want.
Seriously... this is pathetic.
I want a thick, moist steak from there.
I need to think straight from now on.
I need to pull myself together for Young-eun's sake.
Dear, I'm going to do what I can
so Young-eun can eat and wear whatever she wants.
Dear, are you watching us?
Where are you going, Mom?
I'm off to make money. Let's eat out when I get back.
We used to help strangers. Think I can't buy steak for my girl?
Really? You had money hidden away, didn't you?
- Good luck, Mom. - Okay.
So she finally took the bait?
She did.
What did I tell you? I told you to trust me.
This plan is perfection itself.
Alright.
Ga-eun, let's see how long you hold out before signing.
'I'll slowly strangle you until you cling to me and beg for mercy.'
This is Julia.
So you're Julia? You dirty wench.
I hear you're the umpteenth wife of some Arabian guy.
I had no idea and was actually your fan.
You need to get this settled pronto...
What happened to the article? Was it published in the magazine?
I thought you and Jung-woo were taking care of that.
I can't work if this isn't stopped.
Somehow people found out my cell and keep cursing me out.
How can I focus on my work like this?
I knew you'd come to me for help.
Please, Chairman Maeng.
I don't have the influence to stop this article.
How can you let this small affair affect you?
Why doesn't my range improve?
A full-page ad, of course. That's right.
I'll tell our PR department to call you. Discuss the details with them.
That sounds good. Let's go golfing sometime.
Okay. Goodbye.
One magazine already began printing so I can't do anything there.
We bought ad space for Dream as well as Dream Star in 'Fashion In'
so you don't have to worry about them.
Thank you, sir.
You should've known better and prevented the whole thing.
Keep indebting yourself to me and you'll never repay me.
I'm sorry.
Star Fashion now has a huge debt to pay to Dream.
Here. Mister Cho, enjoy the food.
Baby, do you see my worth now?
I keep my word and get things done.
Yes, you do.
I don't use my noodle often, but when I do, no one escapes my traps.
True. You didn't go to prison for fraud for nothing.
Right, fraud...
Baby, why you gotta be like that?
Why are you drudging up my painful past?
Sorry.
I feel bad for Ga-eun's mother. She'll end up completely dirt-poor.
That beautiful lady only knows how to spend money, not make it.
Just watch. She'll find out the great horrors of being poor.
She's so clueless, it'll be like taking candy from a baby.
Ga-eun, let's eat out for dinner.
Eat out?
Yeah. Where did Young-eun go?
Ah, she went out to meet friends.
We're a type of investment company.
We invest for you in expensive equipment or vending machines.
And the money you make will be deposited into your account daily.
In other words, I'll be making a pretty penny without any effort.
With ten grand, I'd make double as well as profits in three months?
Why didn't I think of doing this sooner?
Hold on.
If I can make double, then the more I put in, the better.
Mommy!
Huh?
Jung-hee! Jung-hee, come here.
What is it? Is there a fire?
You're lazing around in the middle of the day, aren't you?
I'm all pooped out from feeding Na-ri.
I can't look after her anymore.
Either bring Mi-ran in or hire a nanny, okay?
Enough with the rubbish. That's not what's important here.
Look at this.
What's with the money? Did you win the lottery?
How much is this? Uno, dos, tres, quattro...
See, I went to a local jeweler and showed him the diamond ring.
What? Then this money is...
I didn't go intending to sell the thing.
I just wanted to verify that it was a real diamond and not glass.
- But... - But?
Apparently, it's hard to find a rock this valuable.
He kept badgering me to sell it.
- Mom! - Huh?
Oh god. I'm not deaf, you know.
You fell head over for the money, didn't you?
Hating her and using her money are two different matters.
I said one thing about her drinking and she bought all that stuff.
If I reject her, your brother will feel bad.
How can you be so wishy-washy?
So what?
That must be your brother.
Jung-woo, is that you?
Ga-eun's the poor victim in all this.
Uh... why did you come back?
Na-ri, I've left you with your father because things are hard right now.
If I get a job and make money, I'll come get you, okay?
I love you.
Sis, good luck!
I'll get the job for sure, Young-eun.
Mom, I'll be back.
Okay. Don't be too nervous and ace that interview.
Mom, I'll get the job.
And I'll make lots of money and repay our debts.
Yeah, let's make a grand comeback, okay?
What is it? Am I that handsome?
With the problem about Julia solved, you seem to be in a good mood.
Am I? When was I in a bad mood?
We should try to live happy and fun lives.
You should smile more, kid. You're always all gloom.
Did you forget we're supposed to be professional at work?
With no pet names like 'kid.'
Geez, he's strict.
I wonder if her interview's over.
Huh?
