Miss Ripley
Episode 7
What are you doing here?
Oh, nothing.
Wow, the weather is nice.
It is.
What? Is there something you want to say, Oppa?
Do you... like Yu Hyun?
Well...
He's a good guy.
Yeah, he seems to be.
He's warm, nice...
...considerate.
His heart is with another person.
I know.
And of all people, Mi Ri.
You know yet you're like this?
I know.
But Oppa, they say to just let your heart be.
Just feel where it's going, and acknowledge where it's going.
That's why you're going to just leave it alone?
I tried to change it, but I couldn't.
Being like this won't change Yu Hyun's heart.
He's already...
Yu Hyun probably can't change his feelings. Just like me.
Just like I can't help the way I feel.
Yu Hyun can't help the way he feels.
That's what feelings are all about.
Alright. I understand.
You can't control your feelings like you want to.
However, I hope you go where you can see what's at the end of the road.
What do you mean, the end?
Can you see what's at the end?
- Hee Joo... - Oppa, I...
Never mind.
Have a cup of tea.
Thanks.
Code red. Code red.
Cardiologist, Dr. Park, please come to the 12th floor.
Code red. Code red.
Cardiologist, Dr. Park, please come to the 12th floor.
How long?
1 minute, 29 seconds. Shall we give an injection?
Give him a dose after 3 minutes.
Yes, I understand.
Doctor...
It could be a temporary side effect of the cancer medicine.
Let's wait and observe.
Are you surprised I came without calling?
I knew you'd come.
I came because I missed you.
Let's go out.
I was just about to go out on my own.
Where to?
See the ocean at night. OK?
Let's go.
Mi Ri?
Yes, Mother.
Yes, I'm on Jeju Island.
What? Father?
It'll be good if you came.
Fortunately, he's out of danger.
But he'll look for you as soon as he gains consciousness.
Sort out all the remaining work.
I'll send the plane over.
Oh, this is so nice.
You like this so much?
Of course.
Though I hoped you would come,
I never thought you would actually come.
I was surprised.
I was surprised too. I was just doing my thing,
then before I knew it, I was getting on a plane.
What?
The person I'm seeing right now. The person who is with me right now.
He's really my man.
I'm just making sure he's the Director.
What is it?
I too wanted to see,
whether the person in front of me is the person I like, Jang Mi Ri.
Do I have the right person?
I'm not her.
I'm relieved to see you looking better.
Thank you for coming.
This is Song Yu Hyun.
I'm called away urgently so I have to leave.
I'm sorry I left first.
Let's meet again in Seoul.
I think I was too sensitive.
About what?
About you.
And about me.
And about us.
As you said the last time,
after being together, when I go home by myself,
I start to imagine all sorts of things.
What do you imagine? I'm curious.
I wonder what you're doing.
How do you sleep?
Imagining those things.
It's the same as me. I do that too.
Then I start to think about this...
At the office, I'm the boss. But between us,
I wonder if it's the reverse.
So, you don't like it?
No.
Has Jang Mi Ri entered too deeply into my heart?
Even on the plane, that's all I thought of coming here.
Once in a while, I feel so foolish.
I love you.
You came all the way here, so parting with you makes me sad.
I'm sorry. I came so suddenly, I wasn't able to clear my schedule.
No, I understand.
Just your coming is so much.
Hello.
I have to rush back to Seoul.
So could I leave the key for room 339 with you?
Yes, of course.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I'll see you in Seoul.
Do you have enough time for your flight?
It's fine.
Oh, you scared me!
I got a call from my parents all of a sudden.
But, where have you come back from?
Oh, yes... there's a VVIP guest staying at this hotel,
so I received a call to come down for a minute.
But, will you be able to leave? There aren't any more flights.
Even if I have to walk, I need to go.
What?
Hurry up and get in.
I'll see you in Seoul.
Yes.
Oh.
I wish they'd tell me how sick he is.
What?
I think the father is very sick.
We received another call from Seoul.
Fortunately, he's over the dangerous stage.
Yes.
The food-and-beverage manager has left?
Another one?
Then we won't have any food-and-beverage managers left.
What's going on?
The head of the company is very sick.
They sent some food from the kitchen, and his condition got suddenly worse.
It looks like the person who delivered the food was blamed.
I got a call from my parents all of a sudden.
Hee Soo, are you really going to do this?
I'm sorry.
I'm asking you. Just go upstairs this once.
I really don't want to.
- Hee Soo, I'm pleading... - They're getting fired so easily,
whenever the food needs to be delivered, all the managers avoid it.
Oh, in the battle between the whales, it's the shrimps that die.
Oh, this is a big problem.
Please help us, subaenim.
My staff has been suspended because of the recent incident.
I completely sympathize with your situation,
but I'm concerned my staff would get accused as well.
It would be different if someone volunteered, but...
Excuse me.
Hello, Section Leader.
Omo, is she really going?
She sure is ambitious.
It's a relief you've gotten better.
What are you doing here over this little thing?
What about the company?
Yes sir.
I was just about to kick him out.
Our disobedient son.
I'll get going for now.
Alright.
So that woman still thinks you're a salesman?
Yes. I haven't told her the truth yet.
That's not good.
Not unless you intend to do no more than date.
I haven't thought about it that far. I'll give it more thought.
Ah yes, please come in.
Please just leave the porridge today.
What?
But... if he's going to have the porridge,
I want to leave some of the side dishes.
We heard he likes the crab marinated in soy sauce so we made it specially.
Thank you.
Aigoo, this is my favorite, crab marinated in soy sauce.
I'll cut it up for you.
Aigoo, how can you cut that up with scissors?
Then...
If it's all right with you, may I prepare the crab?
Can you do that?
Please wait a minute.
She's a hotel employee, but she prepares the crab as well as you.
Really?
Welcome, Simon.
How long has it been?
Have you been well, Father?
So, you have a new bride.
It's not to the point of being a bride yet.
Seeing how you've come so far, this is all God's plan.
So what can I do to help?
Do you have a good plan?
No, not yet. It's just feelings right now.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Yes.
Wow!
I picked them out myself, so I'm not sure.
Are they alright?
They're so pretty.
No, I'll carry it.
No, I'll take it.
I want to carry them.
Yes.
It'll be Mi Ri's birthday soon so I need to prepare everything personally.
Yes.
Give it to me.
Gambi Tea
No, the Gambi Tea. Gambi...
Yes.
No, not just any herbal...
Yes. Yes, then please get that for me.
Yes.
Guest room manager or food-and-beverage manager?
I'll be leaving, then.
How can she be acting like that?
It's probably... the Director.
I don't know why men have no taste in women.
I really think men have two brains, one for work and one for women.
No, I'm making seaweed soup.
Don't tell her I'm here.
Trust you to make a fuss over nothing.
Jang Mi Ri.
- Oh... - Jang Mi Ri.
Yeah, bye.
Are you on your way somewhere?
What is this place?
Open it.
Happy birthday.
How did you know?
There are advantages to working in the same company.
How did you think of this?
Blow out your candles.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Wow, it's so pretty.
Is it alright?
Yes.
I'm going to get some ice from the freezer.
Champagne has to be chilled before drinking.
Sure.
What is this?
Open it.
It was my mother's.
Why...?
My heart has decided.
What are you talking about?
The person I love, wearing my mother's ring,
always by my side... that's what I've always wanted.
I've always felt that was missing.
I'd like you to wear the ring.
You don't have to answer right away.
From your point of view, it's a difficult decision.
Is it too much pressure?
No, not so much pressure, but...
of course I want to as well.
But at this time, if I were to marry you...
Actually I do feel the weight of people who will be judging us.
- However... - Just thinking about how people will judge me horrifies me.
What they'll say behind my back.
No, I'll be fine but...
I don't want people to misjudge you because of me.
I haven't thought that far.
Could you wait a little?
Once I gain credibility on my own,
people can't say to me...
No, I mean, to us, they can't say anything.
Once that happens, we can be honorable in announcing our relationship.
With everyone's congratulations.
That's how I want to marry.
Is that Mi Ri's name?
When I was young, I did this for my mom's birthday.
You did? And not your mother?
Of course for my birthday she did it.
But there were more times when I did it.
After the accident, she was in the hospital a long time.
This was just one of those things.
The candle...
I've just started with the company, and marrying my boss already.
What will people will think of me?
Have you given it any thought?
Here's to Moon Hee Joo and Song Yu Hyun's friendship!
To friendship!
It's good.
That's a relief.
Yu Hyun. What is it about Mi Ri that you like so much?
Oh. A lot of things.
She's straight forward, no hesitation.
She was probably raised in the Amazon.
Oh, I see.
Then again, even to another woman, Mi Ri has a lot of charm.
You have your own special charisma.
Deeply considerate, warm, bright.
Like a friend I've known for a long time.
That's why I like you.
Me too.
I know. That's why I want to be friends with you for a long time.
What's wrong, Hee Joo?
Hold on a minute.
Hee Joo?
What's the matter? Are you alright?
Hee Joo?
I'm sorry. You've done all this, but I can't give you an answer right away.
No.
Now that I think about it, I don't think I fully considered your point of view.
I could have looked for other ways.
Could you put together a portfolio?
What?
Maybe you can move to another company.
Director!
You don't want that?
Of course not.
I was thinking it was uncomfortable working at the same company as you.
But I haven't given any thought to that.
I have a place that I can put a call in to.
If you're uncomfortable, I can do that so you can be more at ease.
Director.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
Did you cry?
Oh, no.
- Let me see. - Oh, no. I really didn't.
The paperwork on your school or your references should be enough.
I'll prepare them.
Do that. Then we can prepare our time together.
Yes. Then drive home carefully.
Good night.
It's nothing.
- Let me see. - It's alright.
- Wait. - It's alright.
Let me see.
- No, no. - Hold on.
No, it's really alright.
Oh, Mi Ri!
You're home.
Hey, this is... it's not like that.
What brings you here?
Oh, yes... I heard it's your birthday.
I said it was your birthday...
So you used my birthday as an excuse to have dinner together?
Without telling me?
- No, it's not that, I... - Thank you for thinking of me,
but I'm a little tired.
Could we see each other another time?
- Mi Ri. - I'll see you some other time.
- He set all this up to celebrate your birthday. - No, it's alright, Hee Joo.
Happy birthday.
Mi Ri.
Why didn't you tell me?
He asked me not to tell you because he wanted to surprise you.
That's why you invited him into the house, two of you drinking together,
you looking at him with a different expression?
Don't get the wrong idea. I know it looks bad but...
I don't need it. With that innocent face of yours,
never considering what the other person may feel.
- Mi Ri, that's... - This is you.
You know very well how I feel about that person.
Why are you doing this? I told you that's not it.
Why are you so anxious about this?
What?
You are more frank,
- and more beautiful than I am. - Be quiet.
Yeah, I do like Yu Hyun.
- But that's... - See!
This is your true intention.
But you kept that hidden, and what?
A surprise?
- Please don't get the wrong idea, Mi Ri. - Forget it.
I don't want to hear a single word from someone
who says one thing then says something else.
It might be uncomfortable seeing each other so I'm leaving first.
I'm going to visit the convent.
The nun in charge of the orphanage we were at is still alive.
While living together I thought: I need to tell her and we should go together.
I don't know what happened, but we were so busy.
There wasn't much time to talk to you comfortably face to face.
I don't know why.
Maybe you and I have changed too much.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
This is your first birthday since moving in, so I wanted to surprise you.
But it turned out this way.
Sorry, Mi Ri.
Why we keep fighting... I need to think about it.
Yeah, once we get things off our chest and move on, it'll be better.
Eat before you leave.
I made seaweed soup.
And... it's late but...
Happy birthday.
Could you put together a portfolio?
Something towards hotel construction or cultural centers would be good.
The rest should be okay like that. But about these three pages...
could you please keep them in order?
Look here please. Lift your head.
Here we go...
Wow, she's quite amazing.
She graduated from the University of Tokyo?
Great school.
She has a lot of enthusiasm and integrity.
She doesn't give up until the work is finished.
Now that I see this, I've seen her somewhere before.
Isn't she the one who was featured in your hotel's brochure?
What's going on between you two?
What are you talking about?
Don't avoid it. Do I look like a blind person?
I've known you a long time.
Let's just skip this, Hyung.
Hey, I'm someone who prays morning and night for you to find the right woman.
She's having a difficult time working at the hotel together with me.
You've been caught.
If she's the one, try to get her a job somewhere else.
Ask Professor Park and see if you can get her something at the school.
I'd be happy if that happens.
I'm supposed to meet Professor Park tomorrow, so be ready.
If he wants to see her, have her come immediately.
Times like this, forget dignity and just go.
You think you'll have another chance at love at your age?
Really?
There's a possibility I may stand in a lecture hall?
You'll start as a guest lecturer, then if the reaction is good,
you'll build presence through broadcasts or mass media.
You'll definitely get the opportunities you want.
I can't believe all this.
Are you that happy?
Of course. It's something I couldn't even dream about.
But you don't like all this happening?
Well, it's not that I don't like it...
Since you'll be leaving the hotel, I won't see you often.
I don't know why I'm thinking such things.
What are you talking about?
I'll come visit you all the time.
Thank you.
Seeing you happy makes me happy.
Be careful.
People gossip a lot.
- And of all people, why Jang Mi Ri? - What do you mean, of all people?
How can you say that about someone you work with?
Alright, I'm sorry.
However, for her sake, you can't behave like this.
Don't you know what everyone is saying?
- She shook her tail towards German soldier-like you... - That's enough.
Fine. Because this involves your personal feelings, I'll stop.
But in the office, be careful. Please.
Then could you use this?
Oh, sure.
Thank you in advance.
- Have a good day. - You too.
[Song Yu Hyun]
Hello?
Your guest has arrived.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
Not at all. Thanks for making the time.
So you're saying the woman who was here before made this?
Yeah.
So Dr. Chung was looking for a tea that was easy to drink.
Yes, he was.
It almost seems as if she overheard.
I don't know how she found this, but Dr. Chung says this is good.
Yeah, this is nice.
What? Are you not satisfied about something?
No. Just thinking about how she got it so perfectly.
That's why it's so amazing.
I don't know what it is, but you're taking a long time to start talking.
Yes. I have something important to say to you.
After last night, I thought a lot about this and that.
Actually, it was all because I wanted to celebrate your birthday.
But it seems there's a misunderstanding.
Yes, I don't want to think that way either, but...
I can't seem to overlook it so easily.
I keep wondering if what you said in Jeju Island was a joke.
Do I look like that kind of a person?
As someone who says "let's meet" as a joke?
No. I don't exactly mean it like that...
I'm not behaving this way with you because I want to joke around.
I've wanted to see you sincerely for some time now.
What do you mean sincerely?
If possible, I would like us to try to have a future together.
What's the matter?
Nothing. You say it so seriously, I am a little bewildered.
Fine. I'll give it some positive thought.
Regardless, my behavior towards you wasn't pleasant at all,
but you're offering a formal apology, so I know,
you must truly be sincere in wanting to spend time with me.
Is that a good enough answer?
Yes. I'm relieved.
I thought because of yesterday...
Not at all.
It was because you were trying to celebrate my birthday.
So you saying this to me here, makes me more apologetic.
I am offering you my formal apology too.
Actually...
it was partly because you were together with Hee Joo,
but probably more because I'm not used to things like that...
Someone taking care of me on my birthday...
and formally asking me out to genuinely offer to have a relationship with me.
These are all such new experiences for me.
I should have been happy but,
I guess I was more bewildered.
I'm sorry. I didn't think things through all the way.
Not at all. I was really silly.
Are you all right?
Yes. Thank you.
Since this is like a new beginning for us, let's commemorate it with a toast.
It's late, but happy birthday.
Thank you.
As you requested, I've made reservations for four people.
Fine.
The person you are calling...
What does your father do?
Oh, just... business.
Oh, yes.
Actually, I have so many things I'm curious about you.
Where you were born. Where you lived.
What kind of parents you have.
What you like.
That's so many to answer all at once.
You can answer slowly.
I will.
Hee Joo...
Oh, Hee Joo has gone to meet a nun from her childhood.
You didn't know?
No.
Don't worry about it.
After you left, Hee Joo and I worked it out.
That's a relief. I was worried about that.
Would you like to meet my parents one day?
What?
I know this is too soon and quite a heavy burden.
But as I mentioned before, my father is quite sick.
When I mentioned you, he wanted to meet you right away.
If you're still uncomfortable...
Not at all.
It is a heavy burden, but if you let me think of it as something light, then it's fine.
Your father's condition is much more important than my point of view.
Thanks.
[Director Jang Myung Hoon]
Seems like you have a call.
I can answer it later.
It might be urgent.
Then... excuse me.
Yes, it's me.
In front of the house.
I wasn't feeling well so I...
What?
My portfolio?
Really?
You can tell them in more detail when you come here.
Right now, the head of the department is here.
Yeah, come right away.
I'm so sorry.
No need for sorries. It's good news.
Thank you. But I'm a little embarrassed. I never even thought about it.
Having a talent like that... I'm really envious.
Thank you.
Then I'll be leaving first.
Yes. I'll call you.
Thanks.
The position starts as a guest lecturer, but,
her portfolio is so impressive.
I want to leave open all possibilities.
I've already spoken with the chancellor.
All that's left is for Jang Mi Ri to prove herself.
Hey, how can you say such a thing.
For this, nothing should be up to her effort.
You should take care of the rest to make this work.
Didn't we agree to that?
Am I the only one who said we'd take care of things for her? You said it too.
I'll look out for her on the broadcasting side.
But you need to look out for her on the school side.
Saying how you're the son of President Lee and all that.
All right, all right.
She is someone I can put my faith in regarding her work.
She will work hard.
For you to be saying such a thing, I'm really curious to know what kind of person she is.
But is she coming or not?
Well...
She's much prettier than her pictures.
Hello.
Yes, let me introduce you. On this side is Korean University's Professor Park Jae Jin.
I am Jang Mi Ri.
Nice to meet you.
And here is Harmody Art Club Director Choi Sung Kyu.
Pleasure to meet you.
S... sit. Sit down.
Yes.
Do you know that person?
- No... - What would you like to drink?
Martini? Singapore Sling?
Hey, what are you doing instead of getting her order?
Yes, what would you like?
Well...
I'll be right back.
Yes. Go ahead.
I was thinking of just talking at the office tomorrow...
I got in the car, then thought, "Let's just go, I want to see her."
That thought just came.
Yes.
I guess that's why friends are good.
Yes, they are.
I'm... in a few days, thinking of taking Mi Ri to meet my parents.
Why?
N... no. You must really like Mi Ri.
Yes.
But looking back, it's all because of you.
You were there to really support me.
And because you tried to keep my secret the other day...
Not at all... that's...
That's just because I enjoy doing things like that.
Regardless, I feel Mi Ri and I were fated to meet.
From the boarding rooms to Hotel A to...
And when I heard she went to the same school, I really...
But, Yu Hyun, what is it about Mi Ri that you like so much?
Is it because you both went to the same school?
No... it's not that...
Why do you ask that?
Nothing in particular... just that you seem to be thinking it's fate.
To choose someone because of school. Do I look like that kind of a person?
No.
It's just... I don't think you know Mi Ri very well.
You being like this. It's not like you at all.
I'm sorry. But... what do you mean?
Everyday my saying, "It's all right, it's all right".
Saying, "Next time, next time", and letting my chances go.
And liking...
What's the matter?
Are you still upset about the incident the other day?
No. No. I'm sorry.
God.
My feelings toward that person are growing stronger.
That's why the promise I made to be his friend,
and our friendship, are getting weaker.
The more I think that's not good,
the more my growing feelings make me miserable.
God, help me.
Let me not get weaker.
Let me not waiver.
God, please help me.
How good is your fortune?
This year you will be bitten by a mosquito.
Did I throw away my sorrows?
This cicada's shell...
Hyung.
What's the matter?
You said she majored in Japanese writings.
I haven't met someone with this major in a long time, so I want to write a Haiku.
Don't pay any attention to him. He's a bit of a romantic.
Keep talking Professor Park.
Are you very close to Myung Hoon?
Do you love him?
What?
Why are you doing this, Hyung?
You know he's a funny guy.
If you'll excuse me, I need to use the restroom.
Yes. Go ahead.
Did I hear, "professor"?
Shut up.
As your education rises, your pockets should get fatter.
I was told I could strike a fortune today.
I guess that was you, Jang Mi Ri.
Hold on a minute, Hyung.
If you'll excuse me for a minute.
Yes, sure.
Was it $3,000?
Please be quiet.
- I hadn't heard an answer so I was going to make it $5,000... - I'll do it.
I'll do whatever you want so please stop this.
Mr. Kang will be so happy.
To receive your embrace.
You bastard.
There's something else I need to tell you.
My father is Mondo Group's CEO.
My roommate works at Hotel A.
It's Jang Mi Ri.
Not long ago, I heard your roommate was sick.
She was never sick.
How could you deceive a person like that?
So the person I saw at the boarding house...
at the open market, eating dduk-bok-gi and soondae so easily.
Holding me tightly at Jeju Island...
that was never really Song Yu Hyun?
What's the matter?
This guest is insisting on meeting Jang Mi Ri.
This is fate.
Do you like her?
To be completely honest, I like her.
What is your relationship with Jang Mi Ri?
One where you can't tear us apart.
Who is it?
Hello.
Oh, Director.
Don't even think about it.
There won't be any promises or nothing.
Is there really nothing?
I'll take this one.
