Scent of a Woman
Episode 2
I wrote this 5 years ago.
Every time you insulted me, sexually harassed me,
I had an urge to throw this at you,
but I held back with all my might, because I needed this job!
But, I don't want to hold back anymore.
So?
You're going to throw a letter of resignation at me?
That's right!
Here's my letter of resignation, you son of a bitch!!
Do you want to be blacklisted in this industry?
I can make sure that you will be unemployed forever.
Forever?
You are laughing?
To me, forever...
isn't very long.
What is wrong with you?
What are you doing?
You there, return the money I lent you
plus 2% interest.
Only then will I return your bag.
Wait a minute.
I feel bad that Mr. Wilson had to leave like that,
but I didn't steal the ring.
There's no evidence that you didn't.
But there's also no evidence that I did.
Do you understand that an important project got ruined because of you?
It seems like you are still suspecting me.
If you keep it up,
I can sue you for character defamation.
Why are you laughing?
For people like you,
do you even have honor to reclaim?
How is it?
It doesn't feel good to be slapped, right?
I didn't feel good when you slapped me.
Why?
Is there a law that only allows rich heiresses to slap people?
Do you have the right to treat people however you want since birth?
Do you think only you have the right?
Why?
I have never been hit by my parents before.
I am also a precious person.
Don't think that just because you come from a wealthy family,
you can be proud.
You didn't even earn the wealth.
It's funny that you think you're above everyone because of those things.
I'm actually good at exercising.
I didn't avoid your slap because that day was really chaotic.
Lee Yeon Jae.
Do you have a 100 won coin?
Thank you.
Yeon Jae, this...
500 won coin won't go in...
You are here, come sit down.
What can we do if things turned out this way?
Sit down.
- Go call Ji Wook. - Yes.
You have worked hard to take care of the problem.
Don't worry about this situation.
We will take care of all the damage.
Is there something that I can help you with?
You can tell me anytime.
Then, I would like you to
immediately fire Wilson's tour guide.
I heard about the lost ring incident.
But I don't think our employee would do something like that.
Let's first understand how it happened.
That woman slapped me.
Do I need any other reason?
You finished your conversation that fast?
How do you do your work?
Did something happen?
She got slapped?
Yes.
What in the world...
Tell the employee to come see me.
I wanted to ask her too,
but she already left.
She got fired this fast?
Just because of Se Kyung?
No, she left by herself.
She turned in her resignation letter.
Such a pity...
Hello.
This is Shinhan Bank.
Is this Lee Yeon Jae?
This is 32 million Won.
Please verify it.
Customer, aside from this savings account, you have two more.
That's really impressive.
How did you manage to save so much money?
You just don't use it, eat, or buy things.
Just buy the cheap T-shirts from street vendors.
Use only 2 pairs of shoes for four seasons.
Eat lunch at company's cafeteria...
or eat snacks from street vendors.
Just do that.
Ah... okay...
Are you going to save this money in another account?
I don't even glance at designer bags.
I don't even dream about taking a vacation in another country.
That is how I managed to save that money.
You can start doing those things.
I wanted to get married next year,
buy a car,
and move to a house with a front yard in five years.
That's what I wanted to do
so I kept on enduring.
I saved, saved, saved, and saved.
I saved.
But,
Customer.
It's so unfair.
Isn't that person so impressive?
That's right! I wish I saw that with my own eyes.
Lee Yeon Jae, what's happened to you?
Are you crazy?
Why did you suddenly do that?
If you quit the company at your age, can you still find another job?
Are you listening?
Hye Won.
I want to have a drink.
Go wait at the usual place.
I will go there after work.
No, I don't want to go there today.
Then where do you want to go?
What?
It really is luxurious here.
Are you really treating me here?
Yes.
No matter how I look at it, it's strange.
It's not like you to come to a place like this.
Did you win the lottery?
I can't drink a lifetime of soju and eat fish cakes and then die.
I want this one. I always wanted to try it.
Look at you all tensed up, I'm just joking.
We'll have 2 bottles of beer.
Okay.
The beer here is also expensive.
Do you need any snacks?
No, it's okay.
Wait!
Please give me this.
Also, give us your best snacks.
Okay, I understand.
Lee Yeon Jae, why are you suddenly acting like this?
For the 20 years that I have known you,
I have never properly treated you out.
As expected of an expensive drink. It's really smooth.
I should have tried it sooner.
Seriously, I never thought of the day like today with you.
Who would have thought that I can drink this thanks to you?
Having said that, why did you resign?
How can I not understand how you feel?
Anyway, I heard you quit in a such a cool manner.
Quitting...
was a good decision, you did well.
For Lee Yeon Jae's new future!
New future...
Future is good.
For the future, cheer!
Cheers!
What?
That's the General Manager, isn't it?
If we can date someone like him once, there's nothing else to ask for.
If I was 10 years younger, I would ask him out.
I won't have a chance...
to date someone like him for the rest of my life, right?
- Where are you going? - I...
- will seduce that man. - What?
Before I die,
I want to date someone like him.
Did you arrive yet?
Yes, where are you?
I'm going up right now.
Hot, hot!
Are you okay?
What should we do?
What do I do?
Yeon Jae, is it really hot?
I'm okay.
Let me see.
Fortunately it's alright. Looks like you didn't get burnt.
So embarrassing...
Hye Won, how come nothing good happens to me?
Of course there are good things.
Drinks are on the house.
Ta-da.
And there's a one night hotel voucher.
Can I have it?
Do you like it so much, what your friend exchanged for her misfortune?
It's less embarrassing this way.
Just try getting rejected.
That will leave a deeper scar.
Honestly, how can you seduce the General Manager?
Let's say if you do seduce him...
What kind of undergarment is this?
The man will run away as soon as he sees it.
It's a shame we had to take off abruptly last minute after enjoying such expensive drinks,
but I had a lot of fun today, thanks to you, my friend.
Hye Won,
what do I do?
Forget it.
You already quit, you won't see the General Manager anymore.
It's not that.
Actually, I...
What? Do you regret quitting the company?
Forget it, don't worry about it.
Just rest well first.
You didn't have a single vacation for the past 10 years.
You just worked hard.
It's time for the last bus, hurry!
What are you doing? Hurry!
Okay.
This is the General Manager.
Do your best.
[Kang Ji Wook]
[Saved]
You don't look like you feel well.
How should I feel?
If you can't imagine it,
why don't you try getting slapped by one of your employees?
I don't think she would hit you without a reason.
Didn't you call me out to make me feel better?
This isn't very sincere.
Do I look like someone who would be happy with a brand name bag?
I don't think you are that kind of person.
Open it and see.
That is sincerity.
I spent 20 minutes on the internet to find it.
You might as well just give me a bag.
I thought you might need a reason to smile.
If you don't like it, just throw it away.
Not in the garbage.
But to one of your employees.
Why are you so scared?
Because you came in so suddenly.
Are you watching porn?
Mom!
Why didn't you go to work?
Ah... vacation.
They gave you a vacation during peak season?
That's right, why would he give me a vacation in the busy season?
That's good.
I have to help Miss Kim watch the shop, come by in a while.
Why?
I won't ask you to look after the shop, just come by.
Don't just wear a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.
Strange...
If you take care of your appearance, even the blind will notice you.
Can the blind even see that I spent time on my appearance?
I understand.
Even though I put on makeup, I still look gaunt.
I really don't want to look into the mirror.
Mom.
This brat! Go away.
Why did you press on my hair?
It wasn't easy to blow it up.
You're cute, you're cute
You're cute when you smile
Too cute, my only lover is you
You're awesome, you're awesome
You're very awesome...
Give me my bag.
I asked you for 3 months to return the money I lent you,
but you didn't even listen.
You acted fast.
- Give me my bag. - Give me the money first.
Where's the interest?
So stingy, it's only a small sum of money.
Why did you quit?
Honestly, you are old. Can you even find another job?
Since you know I'm older, why are you still speaking informally to me?
I wasn't complimenting your age.
Then is it a crime to be old?
Don't live like that. You think you won't get old?
You will be 30 soon. You'll be at my age before you know it.
Why are you lecturing me?
What a joke.
When you get to my age,
you must meet a colleague like yourself.
You must!
If not for that glass of cocktail, I could at least have greeted him.
This is the presentation to be done at the meeting in an hour.
You can look at it first and then present it.
Isn't it better to let the person who prepared this to present?
It's you, the General Manager, who prepared this
You have worked hard, you can go.
Thank .
Let's see how well he can do his job.
How can he do well?
- It's only been a few days since he started. - That's true.
Oh yeah.
I heard a strange rumor.
Your female employee called you a bastard.
Do your work properly.
You need to think about my reputation.
Okay?!
Lee Yeon Jae...
Did you see her? How was it? Why did she do that?
I think she's gone crazy, completely.
So annoying.
Because Lee Yeon Jae quit, I'm left with all the basic work.
What if manager wants to drink coffee?
Lee Yeon Jae quit?
She made a big scene yesterday, you didn't know?
What scene?
The FIT market has grown really fast in the past two to three years.
Excluding family and middle-age to senior travellers,
independant travellers have been increasing tremendously.
Travel agencies specialized in tour packages are also increasing.
I think we need to provide something that's different from the current tour packages
and use FIT's special brand.
It's a good idea.
Airport, hotel and one-day tour combined in one package. What do you think?
That is true. It provides the enjoyment of a freedom vacation
while generating as much revenue as a normal vacation package.
The trial country that I have selected is Japan.
To develop the tour villages and packages, we're working on arranging the inspection tours.
That is all.
Whose son is he? He did a great job.
Isn't that right?
Shouldn't the General Manager
personally go on the business trip to Japan?
What?
He thought of such a great idea.
Shouldn't he see it to its completion?
Director Kim thinks of you as a thorn in his side.
He gives you a task and wants to catch your weakness.
Why are you worried, I'm not going by myself.
I have a very capable subordinate.
Are you thinking of this as an excuse to go have fun?
You should pretend that you are working hard.
Aren't I doing a good job pretending right now?
The presentation went well.
Of course, I was only lip-syncing.
Why are you always so indifferent.
Towards women and work.
Can't you find a hint of motivation?
Not everyone will like the best brand of caviar.
If it doesn't suit your taste, you won't eat it.
Isn't that how it works?
What exactly are you unsatisfied with?
You studied abroad,
have a car, house, and brand name clothes to wear. Don't you know?
You don't even know how to be thankful.
I have a son, whose personality I dislike the most.
What? Marriage matching service?
Forget it.
If you keep this up, you'll be 40 soon.
You need to get help if you don't have someone to date.
Mom, I'm not in the right situation to get married.
Will you be in a marriage situation in a year?
In another year, your condition will become worse.
Do it later.
I'll do it later.
It's only a consultation.
Consultation doesn't cost any money.
I will do it later, mom.
Good daughter, hurry, hurry.
- Mom! - Be quiet!
Your daughter is really pretty.
She's tall and has a great body.
No matter where she goes, she won't lose to anyone in terms of looks.
I will do a simple profile.
Name?
Lee Yeon Jae.
Your name is so pretty too. Age?
Thirty-four.
Thirty-two if we count in the Western way.
She's still born in the year of the horse.
She's older, so fees will cost more. You know that right?
School?
- Chang Mun Girls' high school - High school graduate?
She's good at studying, but because of family problems, she couldn't attend university.
What was the family problem?
Her father passed away.
Oh, then she's from a single parent family.
I have a good impression of her and I really like her.
But her profile as it is now isn't that favorable, I suppose.
Nowadays, men's requirements are high.
Company?
Line Tour. It is Korea's largest travel agency.
She works there.
Since you are older, your salary should be pretty high right?
Of course,
her salary is around 60,000.
Mom.
She received a bonus this month too.
I didn't know the salary is so high in a travel agency.
You must be very capable there.
At this period, capabilities are more important than education.
Then that's good.
Our company has a pair of newlyweds.
If you can help out with their honeymoon, that would be good.
That would be good.
Mom.
Why are you always calling me, I'm right here.
If it goes through you, you can get them employee discount right?
I can't do that.
You have the capability to do that.
If my daughter gets you the discount,
can you make the fees cheaper?
Mom.
Didn't I say that I can't do it?
Why?
It's because I already quit.
You!
Did you get fired?
No.
Then you resigned on your own?
Yes.
Are you crazy? Are you not in your right mind?
At your age, what are you going to do without a job?
What do you have to offer?
Before you get married, you should at least keep a job!
Who will want to marry an old woman with no job?
I won't get married then.
Won't get married?
Can you live by yourself?
If you have a good job and a lot of money, then it's okay.
At your age, with your education, where can you find a job?
How are you going to live?
What?
That's right, I'm 34.
And I only have a high school diploma, and a widow mom.
That's who I am, I'm your daughter.
You think I embarrass you?
Did I embarrass you?
Who said I'm embarrassed?
Then why did you lie?
You know my yearly salary is only slightly over $20,000. Why did you lie?
I have worked hard to live.
I worked my hardest to live.
That kind of me, does it embarrass you?
It doesn't matter if other people think that but, you shouldn't be like that.
I became like this because of whom?
Are you saying it was because of me?
Then is it not?
You bad girl.
Dad is at the company right?
I have something to discuss with him, but he's not picking up his phone.
It's okay, there's no need to make time .
I just need a brief moment.
Let go.
Didn't I tell you not to come to the company?
Don't treat me as a beggar.
Who forced me to come here?
Hurry up and leave, don't argue.
- I'm only saying two sentences. - Let go of him.
Secretary Kim, please excuse us.
Director.
Do you want me to say it again?
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
Are you well?
I need to go.
If someone sees, it will be hard on me.
What did you do?
Are you still troubling that person?
Why? Why are you doing it?
That guy said that?
We broke up.
Isn't that what you told me to do?
I did what you told me to do.
I entered the company
and accepted a marriage arrangement that I don't want.
But why didn't you keep your promise?
If you keep on doing this,
I can't keep my promise either.
I can start to date that person again.
The two of us can escape to a place that no one can find.
I said clearly the previous time we met was the last time.
I just need 3 million won.
Then I can give you the negative to that picture.
What is this?
This is what I recorded 10 minutes ago.
Besides this one, I have a lot of other ones.
This time in 2007,
that guy said you guys dated for just over 100 days...
and sent me a lot of "pretty" pictures.
The price for that was 1 million won.
After that, I spent a few more million won.
I think he will ask me for money until death.
I don't believe it.
Then...
why did you wait until now to tell me?
I thought it was better for you...
to think it was love than know that you were used by that garbage.
He probably said to you that he doesn't want anything.
But,
these guys with no money
will definitely want something they lack.
Your love, your trust
is just money to those people.
Up until now, how much money was given to him?
Around 20 million won.
Do you know his number?
Do you want me to search for it myself?
Hello?
It's me.
Se Kyung?
Right from the start,
was it because of money?
Se Kyung, I don't know where you heard that...
Shut your mouth.
Don't let it be a second time.
To garbage like you,
I have no money to give.
What's the matter?
It's because I'm in a really good mood.
Do you want to sing a song first?
Did you not hear what I said?
I told you sing a song.
Drink up.
Because I can take you home when you are drunk.
This is boring.
Where are you?
You're back late.
Did you eat dinner?
Look at your sorry ass.
How can you eat?
Hello.
Ah, this person here,
I might get married to him.
Ah...
He's singer Min Se Joon.
Please look after me.
You don't need to sit down.
Just sing a song.
Okay.
At least once Everybody falls into
A world of their own
Can you sing a more cheerful song?
Listen.
She's shining pretty like a star
The more I see her, the more I love
Come and have a drink.
Sing first.
He's doing his part time job right now.
It's a very high salary part time job.
Are you angry?
Why?
In my opinion, he, who came here to earn money
and you, who is marrying me for money
are the same.
Isn't that right?
If we are getting married in the end,
then let's do it quietly.
It's the driver fee.
Send her home safely.
Um...
Do you want me to continue?
Go away.
I told you to go away!
I almost forgot.
Then, I'm leaving.
Patient Lee Yeon Jae, please come in.
Please have a seat.
How's your condition?
Cancer patients usually come in once every three weeks,
with a total of six treatments.
Every time you receive a treatment, you need to be hospitalized for 5 days.
Today, you need to get some basic blood work done.
You will start on your anticancer medication tomorrow.
I looked it up on the internet.
For my condition,
the treatments will not be effective.
If it's the current medicine, it may not.
You can take the normal medicine by injection,
but for the ones you take orally,
what do you think about using an experimental drug?
What you mean is... to use me for an experiment?
It's not an experiment, it�s a trial.
Clinical trial.
If you agree, you can use medicine that's worth over thousands of dollars for free.
There might be really good results as well.
There might also be bad results, right?
But if you use all the current cancer treatments, the results are easily predictable.
- In the best case, a person can live 1-2 months longer. - Stop it.
I'm not going to use it.
Please think it over carefully.
- This is a really good opportunity. - A good opportunity?
Okay then.
We won't do the clinical trial.
No.
I don't plan on doing any of the treatments.
All the tests and treatments,
I want to delay all of them
because I feel fine right now.
Perhaps,
you misunderstood and think you have a benign tumor?
Endure the pain
and do the surgery later.
You think you can solve the problem like that, Lee Yeon Jae?
- You shouldn't be wasting your time right now. - I also...
- ...don't want to waste time. - Then why do you want to delay all the treatments?
My father passed away because of liver cancer.
When he was receiving cancer treatments, I was also by his side.
I'm scared
I'm scared that when I receive the shots,
I will become a real cancer patient.
I'm really scared.
Lee Yeon Jae,
you are a real cancer patient right now.
My schedule is all full for the next two days.
Please come back in three days from now.
If you don't want to receive treatments, then be clear about it right now.
I don't want to waste my precious time
on someone who doesn't want to receive treatment.
Chae Eun Seok
If your mom has cancer,
would you still speak like that?
That's all you can say to an elementary school classmate who you've met after 20 years?
Even if I decide to receive treatments,
I won't get it from a doctor like you.
In my opinion,
you don't have the qualifications to be a doctor.
You can say those things to your friends.
How can you be any better to your other patients?
I feel sorry for your patients.
I'm already really scared,
scared to death.
Because I met a doctor like you,
I feel like I'm going to be miserable.
Son of gun.
Did Lee Yeon Jae just leave?
Why...
How can you do this to me?
You didn't have anything else to leave for me?
Other people's parents leave their kids with houses and properties.
How can you leave your daughter with cancer?
When other girls get married,
their father will walk down the aisle with them.
How can you do this to me?
How can you do this to me?!
I want to date.
I want to get married.
I want to have a child.
But now I can't do anything!
I can't do anything!
It's all because of you, dad.
It's all because of you, dad!
I won't come back here anymore.
I won't come back.
Remember that.
I'm sorry, dad.
It was because I felt wronged and sad.
I can't talk to anyone about it.
I really want to tell mom
and ask her what I should do.
But you know mom.
If she finds out that I'm sick,
she might die before me.
Anyways, dad,
I'm sorry.
You are probably tired too, right?
I'm sorry.
My days are going by so comfortably.
My daughter is cutting my nails for me.
I can cut it for you for a lifetime.
You should treat your mom...
as well as you treat me.
You only know how to worry about mom every day.
Aren't you worried about me?
You are full of energy.
Your mom is a crybaby.
What should we do after this?
Want to go for a stroll?
I'm tired.
Then what should we do?
Let's play go stop, 100 won per point?
I just...
want to eat a dumpling that you make.
Just one?
I can make a hundred.
- Didn't I tell you that outside food is not allowed? - Just one.
He has internal bleeding.
Do you want to kill your dad?
If I knew I was going to be like this,
I would have eaten more of your dumplings,
gone on more vacations,
and said "I love you" more.
Yeon Jae,
don't live like your father.
Thank you.
Be careful.
Thank you.
This one is pretty good.
How is it?
I don't know if it's because of her great complexion, it matches well.
Let's buy this.
Forget it.
Didn't I buy one last time?
You said you liked it last time,
so your son-in-law told me to buy another one for you.
He's earning quite a lot of money now.
Should we buy this one too?
What is it?
Mom.
I'm going on a vacation.
Why are you telling me? It's your money anyways.
It's up to you.
That girl.
Okay, forget it.
I don't need anyone.
Is there any ticket left for Okinawa?
Please hold on.
Okay.
There are only first class tickets left.
Ah, that's right. It's the weekend.
Then, when's the next flight?
Let me see.
There are still economy seats left for tomorrow morning's flight.
Do you want me to book a seat for you?
Okay.
Wait a minute.
Give it to me.
The first class seat.
Pleased to be at your service, passenger.
It seems like it's your first time flying in first class.
Can you tell?
We will provide you with the best service on this flight
What kind of service?
It's okay.
I can do it myself.
No, no,
you are the guest, and this is my job.
Please come in.
That's right, Lee Yeon Jae.
You are not here for work.
You are a guest.
Stand up straight.
Although the room is not very big,
it's beautiful and cute.
Here.
I'm very sorry.
I am a front desk attendant.
I am very sorry.
It seems that we double booked your room.
It's alright.
You can give me another room.
To show our apologies, we have upgraded your room.
Upgrade?
- Please come in - Yes.
Oh! Wow!
So beautiful.
This room is really amazing.
Thank you.
This vacation is perhaps my first one,
but it might also be my last one.
That is why,
I am going to have a lot of fun,
and enjoy this vacation.
I understand.
If you have anything you need, please let me know.
So cute.
Lee Yeon Jae's first vacation...
and the first night at a suite room.
Cheers.
At this moment, if I can have a man by my side, it would be perfect.
Even though you are tired, you should still go to the Office of Tourism.
I have to go as well?
You can do well by yourself.
The chairman told me that you must attend.
You two seem to have a close relationship.
Okay, continue your close relationship.
Don't trust him too much.
The car is here.
Do you like it?
You should like it,
since you're the one driving it.
[Central Office of Tourism]
If you tour the entire Okinawa island as well as all the surrounding islands,
I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.
It's best to look at them separately.
We understand.
Our itinerary is very tight.
So we should tour the main island and the surrounding islands separately.
Is that okay?
If I become lazy on the job, you are going to tell on me.
Aren't you?
Okay.
If we split up, what's the plan?
We will arrange a tour guide for the two of you.
She is a local and knows the island very well.
The tour guide is...
The names all sound so similar.
I'm confused.
Hello.
Are you pleased with your room?
Of course I'm pleased.
Hope you have a fun day.
Thank you.
He's really kind.
Ah, so nice.
At this moment, if I can have a man by my side, it would be perfect.
Miss Lee?
Miss Lee.
Nice to meet you.
My name is Kang Ji Wook .
I never dreamed that a day like this would come.
What kind of day is it?
Why are we running?
We didn't do anything wrong.
You just stand still!
Don't chase after me!
Where did Ji Wook go?
He left without telling you?
He waited until the boats stopped on purpose, slept in the same room,
and then got his first kiss.
A day where I can forget who I am and everything that's happening.
