Oh! My Lady
Episode 8
This ahjumma is really fearless. Why did she get into a man's car at such a late hour?
Where are the two of them going?
Enjoy:)
Mom!
Yes, Min Ji!
Min Ji, say hello.
He's the president at Mom's office.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
Min Ji, Ahjussi bought us a cake so we can hold a birthday party.
He even drove me here.
Really?
Wow!
Thank you!
Mom, are you a very valued employee at the company?
She's not just an employee.
She's a team leader.
Is that true?
Yup.
She's the planning support manager.
She helps out with a lot of work at the office and also manages the cast.
She's really good at her work so she's a very valued employee.
Mom, you're so cool!
President, it's late.
So please go back.
Thank you very much for today.
All right.
Min Ji, have a good time with Mom.
Okay, goodbye.
It's been hard on you. Have this.
Thank you.
Mom, I boasted to my friends
that you're producing the musical that Sung Min Woo is appearing in.
Is that so?
Last time, Su Jin boasted that she went to watch a musical with her parents.
That's why I told her that my mom produces those musicals.
She doesn't dare to act arrogant anymore.
Do you like me doing this kind of work?
Yup.
Su Jin boasts about her mother being a doctor everyday.
But Mom's a team leader at a musical production company. Isn't that even cooler?
I got it.
I'll work hard so that you can continue to be proud of me.
You aren't asleep yet?
Where did you go?
Where else? The office, of course.
Why is that ahjumma so excited today?
Did you come back directly from the office?
I spent some great time in between.
Compared to the days when the menu is curry, Ye Eun ate more today.
What are your views on middle-age romance?
Middle-age romance?
Why?
There was this scenario in the drama script.
Did you have many relationships?
My husband was my first and last.
Really?
You're really a stick-in-the-mud.
How pitiful.
How could you have only had one relationship?
I didn't want to make things too complicated but there were many guys who liked me.
Do you know how many seniors tried to woo me when I was in high school?
How many?
Just a lot.
Hey!
Give me some fruits. I didn't get to eat any just now.
Here.
Ahjumma.
I'm speaking based on my experience acting in melodramas.
You'll grow only if you get into a relationship.
Although becoming single again brought you a lot of dreams,
you have to be careful.
Other people love to make use of people as innocent as you.
Especially those who are already married, you have to be careful of them.
What's wrong with me?
Just live quietly. Quietly.
You have to think for the child.
To hear such words coming from an immature person is so strange.
I thought that was important.
Why was she so unbothered?
Have a look at this.
What's this?
Ye Eun's school had a public lesson today.
Do you know how difficult it was to attend this?
Parents are supposed to attend this but since you couldn't go,
watch this.
[Sung Min Woo takes on a new challenge acting in his first musical, produced by The Show Company.]
"Min Woo oppa, I hope the musical will be a big hit!"
Yes, I'll work hard.
You've got to watch it well too.
"We'll see another poor acting."
Well, I'll take this as you acting cute.
Can't the photos from my debut be deleted?
Wh... what was that?
What a naughty kid!
[Story of a Musical]
Oh... Understudy.
That's a substitute actor.
It's not really that difficult.
What? Your mom's company's president came?
Yup, he even bought us a cake.
Cake?
Yup.
He said that Mom is good at her work and that she is a valuable employee.
No, a team leader.
Team leader? Oh yes, a team leader...
What team leader? What a funny company.
What kind of president even takes care of the employees' birthdays?
The CF shooting scheduled for today has been postponed.
You don't have any work for today so take a rest.
Why is it so difficult managing his private life?
[Blood relationship %: 99.98475]
That guy can't even take care of such an important matter.
Why is the schedule always changing? How annoying.
Yes, the audition starts at 10am.
It's all right if you arrive 10 minutes before that.
Yes, thank you!
Ahjumma, coffee.
Yes, this is The Show Company.
The audition venue is at the second department so please go there.
Yes, it's at 10am. Please arrive 10 minutes before that.
I said to give me some coffee.
Please wait a bit, sorry.
Yes, about the address...
Can you note it down now?
Oh, you'll look for it yourself?
Ahjumma!
Good morning, President.
Yes, including those who applied via the Internet, I think there're about 20 persons.
Yes, see you later.
You asked for coffee, right?
Are you doing your office work even at home?
You should do the housework too since I'm paying you for that.
I pay you more than they do.
There's an audition today so I'm very busy.
I'll be home the entire day since I don't have any scheduled work
So come back early and prepare dinner.
Got it.
I've already prepared some ginseng tea.
It's in the refrigerator so take it out and drink it.
I've even got up earlier.
Give it to me.
But why am I still in such a rush? I'm going to be late.
We're leaving first.
Is The Show Company's work everything?
[Kim Byung Hak]
What?
Come down.
I'm in front of The Show Company.
What's the matter? I'm busy and have to get back in right away.
Oh my, pretending to be busy...
Take Min Ji with you.
I'll find you a place to stay.
So take Min Ji with you.
Didn't you agree to help me look after her for a while?
It has been really hard on my wife recently.
Min Ji gives my wife tremendous stress then where does that stress go to?
Me! It has been really hard on me recently.
Why aren't you answering me?
I can't do that right now.
Wait just a bit.
What?
I said I'll get you a place.
Aren't you doing this because you don't have a house?
It's not something that can be solved with a house.
After receiving the house, I'll have to go around searching for jobs to make a living.
I don't want to live like that anymore.
I want to become an inspiring mother that Min Ji can be proud of.
What? Inspiring mother?
Min Ji says that she's proud of my work.
My tears came when I heard those words.
I've never been that kind of mother before.
So just wait a bit.
I want to work hard here and become a successful independent woman.
This is my request to you.
Independent woman?
This is my first time hearing Yoon Gae Hwa saying something like this.
Independent woman?
I want to take Min Ji away with me more badly than you do.
Although I want to take her right away,
it's difficult for me to do that because of various reasons.
Yoon Gae Hwa, you're really...
Yes, this is Yoon Gae Hwa from The Show Company.
Oh, you're an applicant for the audition?
Yes, it's all right as long as you arrive 10 minutes before that.
Yes, thank you.
Sorry, I'm busy so I have to go back in immediately.
I'll leave Min Ji to you for now.
I'm leaving.
Hey, hey, wait!
Oh, seriously.
What?
Yoon Gae Hwa from The Show Company?
Since when did she become a charismatic woman?
Independent woman?
Yeah, try doing it by yourself.
Yoon Gae Hwa,
since you've came so far, you really have to work hard.
Aja!
You scared me!
Are you even shouting mottos now?
You have many tricks up your sleeves, huh?
Good morning.
Audition?
He has to do that of course.
His actor came to me.
Doing that has no meaning.
That piece of work I talked to you about previously is about to start.
Oh, that "Splendorous Life"!
I heard that it was a hit overseas.
You got hold of the copyright license?
Basically, that's what's been decided.
Congratulations, President Uhm!
As expected.
Bravo!
Once we start on it,
The Show Company is finished.
No, all other productions released in the same period will die.
A long list of investors are waiting to invest in it.
Ah, really?
I need to show some colors to Yoo Si Jun this time.
I'll take him by surprise and finish him off for once.
You've worked hard.
There's nothing on my schedule and I'm about to die from boredom!
Since they're having an audition,
as the lead actor, it's not polite if I don't go to have a look, right?
Have they left first?
Yes, they have a meeting with the designer.
The audition went well.
Once President Kim transfers the money over tomorrow,
we'll be able to make payments for the production.
We have to settle the bills first.
They've been calling since morning. I'm dying from answering them.
Half of our phone calls are asking for money, aren't they?
And the other half are us asking for money.
Oh my! Sung Min Woo!
Hello.
I heard that you're holding an audition today?
Since you've all worked hard, I came to buy you all lunch.
Oh gosh, thanks so much.
As expected, stars are different.
Thanks for thinking about us.
It's nothing. Let's go.
You must be busy, why did you come?
Was your schedule this morning very packed?
- He doesn't have... - I squeezed out some time to come.
Teacher Han said she's coming too.
Oh, she's here.
We're here!
Sorry, we're late.
Here.
I brought a colleague along.
Is he interfering?
Of course not.
Welcome.
Hello.
Min Woo, you came too?
This is Teacher Chae.
Nice to meet you.
It's really great that you came.
Oh, I'll introduce Teacher Chae to Min Woo next time.
Teacher Chae can dance really well. I think he'll match you very well.
Is that so?
I'll count on that then.
The guys here today are really too cool.
Teacher Chae, you must have been very popular back at school, right?
You must have been very popular.
Of course.
He has good looks, good manners and good personality.
Above all, guys who can dance are great.
Many people fought to be his partner.
Then do you have a girlfriend right now?
- No. - Of course he does.
What kind of person is she?
A cool woman.
What's with you?
Nothing.
Yeah?
Got it.
How now? I have to leave first.
- See you. - See you.
Goodbye.
It feels weird.
Why?
How was the audition today?
I like the last person.
Not really.
His foundation is bad.
Is that so?
I felt it was all right.
Let's go since we've finished eating.
Was today's audition not good enough?
Exactly.
I thought that the person Teacher Han referred to was not bad.
President Yoo is now in a low pressure condition.
Team Leader Oh, give me the car and leave with President.
I don't want to do that either!
Yoon Gae Hwa,
go with President.
What?
[Bad Acting]
Ahjumma, what time are you coming back? I'll be going back earlier so...
Yes, I got it.
I'll call you again later.
This ahjumma is really!
What is it?
Nothing.
Why did you call me here when there's nothing on my schedule?
What else?
You have to work tomorrow.
You have an overseas fans fan meeting tomorrow.
Don't price the tickets so high like the last time and get criticized again.
Do it properly.
You've really grown.
Are you teaching me?
I'm just saying.
I'm going.
You know about it, right?
Eh?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
I knew about it.
He's a really bad person.
As a man, how can he seduce Teacher Han and spoil other people's family?
He looks like a duck! You can tell that he's not a good person at one look.
The problem doesn't only lie with him.
That's true.
Maybe Teacher Han is dissatisfied with you.
Although I don't know what that is.
Shall we go on a drive?
What?
She is very greedy.
She wants to receive a lot of love.
I can't give her that much.
That's your fault.
You're in the wrong since you knew that and didn't do anything about it.
That's right.
Although it's a bit late,
Min Ji told me to thank you.
She said she was really thankful and happy.
I also want to thank you again.
Isn't it tough having to raise the child by yourself?
No.
Since I'm alone, if I didn't even have the child, what would I live for?
Although I don't regret getting a divorce, I don't regret marrying either.
Because that gave rise to Min Ji.
Do you come here often?
Sometimes.
When I first started work, I came here to learn.
I worked like crazy...
All the way till now.
Aren't you curious as to why I'm still continuing despite being billions in debt?
In order to watch my production, hundreds of people enter the theatre
and stay in the darkness.
That thought makes me tremble even now.
Because of the feelings at that moment,
people in this industry are able to continue on, no matter how tough it gets.
Excuse me.
Yes, Team Leader.
Change the VIP's position a little.
- I think it's too squeezy. - Yes.
He should have called at least once.
He hasn't.
Min Woo, why are you here in the middle of the day?
Did you...
come because of Yeon Hee's matter?
Have you gotten anything?
Min Woo, I spent 1.3 million won on telephone bills alone last month.
I tried to speak in short English phrases so it took some time to converse.
Do it seriously.
I'm asking our ex-school mates once more,
so just wait a bit more.
Min Woo, drink this up if you're tired.
This is great for your body.
Thank you, Unni.
I've recovered from the flu.
Thank you for worrying about me.
It's Yu Ra.
Did she catch a flu?
Min Woo, what's the matter?
Yu Ra, you caught the flu?
I think you sent a message to me wrongly.
Is that so?
So, no wonder Unni hasn't replied.
I've recovered so it's all right.
I didn't even know you were sick.
Shall I treat you to some good food?
All right.
This cake is delicious. Try it.
I can't eat too much.
Min Woo, until when is your contract with your management company?
There's still quite a long while.
Recently, stars have been switching to larger companies.
Haven't you thought of switching?
Well, the company always holds me back.
From what I see, that company's taste seems to have fallen.
They chose that musical produced by a small company like The Show Company.
Don't you think they lack the ability to manage a top star?
But still, I've worked with them for such a long time.
I can't betray them.
Don't be so emotional.
Think about it calmly.
Don't always think in the perspective of the company.
Okay...
Yes, the president said that he'll end work once he receives it.
Yes, I'll go back once I've finished organizing the files.
Yes.
We don't want to buy any insurance.
No, it's not that.
Sorry, but we have a water purifier already. And we're not looking to buy any stone mats.
I'm Han Min Gwan from Daily Scandal.
Oh my!
I'm sorry.
Reporters don't usually come to our office so I made a mistake.
I'm Yoon Gae Hwa from The Show Company.
Oh, you're an employee?
What a surprise.
Honestly speaking, you don't look...
I joined not long ago.
Since you're a reporter,
did you come for an interview on our productions?
Then, this way. This way, please.
[All That Love]
Our president put in a lot of effort preparing for this piece of work.
Wait a moment.
This isn't it.
I came to report on Sung Min Woo.
Why did Sung Min Woo choose to work on such a terrible...
I mean... such a plain musical like this?
What does that mean?
I'm really curious about it.
Is there any unspeakable secret behind that?
Are you the reporter who reported on
the scandal between Sung Min Woo and Kim Chae Yi?
Yes, that was me.
Then, the person who keeps following Sung Min Woo is also...
I've been following Sung Min Woo.
Actually, I specialize in writing articles on star celebrities.
Do you know of any special relationship between Min Woo and this musical?
I don't.
Since I just joined not long ago.
Why did I meet such a person?
Wasted my money!
We're back.
Why are you so late?
I'm starving to death.
I'm sorry.
But saying that to someone who has been working the whole day,
the moment she enters the room is a bit too much.
I'll prepare dinner right away.
Ye Eun, let's change clothes and wash our hands!
The whole day?
Was she making fun of me staying at home the whole day?
What are all these?
They're for you?
Open them up and see.
What are these?
Did your fans send you these?
Just open them up and see.
Since your fans sent you these, you have to open them up yourself.
Did you leave them untouched just to order me around?
Why is there a teddy bear?
Do you like teddy bears?
Why are you like a child, liking teddy bears.
Oh my, these are all teddy bears.
Eh?
They were all sent from the same place.
Toys Shopping Mall?
Did you order these?
The bear she drew last time was really ugly.
How embarrassing.
Ye Eun, these are yours!
Dad...
Daddy bought them for you!
Ye Eun, it's great!
Here.
Oh my, Min Woo!
Why are you calling me like that?
You could have bought just one or two. Why did you buy so many?
Oh gosh!
What kind of toy can be so expensive?
How much is all these?
It's within my means.
It's true but still...
This is nothing to you.
Ye Eun, it's great!
The Baby Badger was learning how to dig holes from the Father Badger.
But the hole suddenly collapsed.
Both Father Badger and Baby Badger were buried under the soil.
The Daisy was chuckling at the side.
"So it's not just me who has to practice".
Ye Eun,
you melted your daddy.
You've started to enter into your daddy's heart.
I'm hungry, is there anything to...
Isn't this the best thing for supper?
Since you didn't eat much for dinner,
I was worried you'll be hungry so I made this.
You worked hard in your role as daddy and was obedient.
What daddy? Don't exaggerate.
The dukbokki is delicious.
Do you know how famous my dukbokki is?
Eat quickly.
I have to study after cleaning up.
Study? Study what?
President gave me this book.
I couldn't read it in the office and can't even finish 3 pages.
It's tough. I must read it today.
All of it?
No, even if just 10 pages.
The others...
Well, they have a lot of experience while I don't.
It's not too late to start now so I have to work hard to catch up with them.
Since even you are working so hard,
this musical will be a great hit.
It has to be a great hit for the president's sake.
Just worry about yourself. Why are you even worrying about the president?
Although President may seem not very nice at first sight,
after a while, he starts to look cool.
Is that face of his good looking?
I'm talking about his person, not his face.
He is passionate about his work.
It's not easy for someone at that age.
Everyone's living in a way that's most comfortable for them.
As for his appearance...
Well, if you look at it that way... His face looks good.
That's why I say you don't have an eye for men.
And for my own sake as well,
I hope this production turns out well.
Only if it turns out well, would I be able to continue working at The Show Company.
Previously, everyone called me stuff like "Min Ji's mom" and "Ahjumma".
Do you know how long it has been since I had name cards with my name on them?
I have my own name cards and my own seat.
Do you know how reassuring that is?
Famous people like you won't understand these feelings.
Aren't you going home?
I have to go back, right?
You bringing me to the lunch earlier,
you do know how uneasy I feel, right?
I think you shouldn't have done that.
You've done wrong to both President Yoo and me.
Hey.
Don't ever listen to what Min Ji's father says.
Getting you a house?
He'll never keep that promise.
Besides, will having a house solve everything?
You have to consider how you would live on with the child.
No matter what, Min Ji feels proud of me.
So I'm really happy.
They say that daughters grow up watching their mothers' actions.
But I couldn't act as a good example so I feel sorry towards her.
As long as the parents live earnestly,
those feelings will be conveyed to the child and the child will grow up well.
Don't worry.
Ye Eun's condition has been improving and things are going well for you at the company.
Look! Everything is turning out well.
Yup.
I'll have to work harder in the future.
I'll be late for work. Got to go.
Dear friend, thanks for the food.
My husband will be really happy.
Work hard.
Here, it's a present for this summer.
A stone mat that can keep your bottom refreshed even after working for long hours.
Oh, thank you!
This is Gae Hwa's.
There's one for me too?
Aren't you also an employee of The Show Company?
Team Leader Oh!
I ordered 3 because of the delivery cost so don't be too touched.
But I'm still very thankful.
This shows that you still think about me.
Well... a little?
Team Leader Oh.
Dae Han Company has not transferred their investment funds over yet.
What do you mean? Didn't they say they'll transfer it over today?
That's why.
What do you mean? Why are you withdrawing your investment?
Isn't the final stage just an administrative step?
Then let's talk when we meet.
Is it stuck at the final stage?
I think someone snatched it.
I'm meeting President Kim so just wait here.
I'll go with you, President.
No, Team Leader Oh, you take care of matters in the office.
Jin Ho, answer phone calls properly.
Have a safe trip, President.
Have a safe trip.
What should we do?
What else? We can only wait.
Didn't you hear him?
If we don't receive the funds...
The company will close down.
How can this be?
It can.
This industry sees a lot of this kind of situations. They occur very frequently.
After hearing that the funds were not received,
the cast will even leave in the middle of rehearsals.
Sometimes, if the venue operators don't receive payment before the performance,
they won't open their doors so we can't enter the venue.
Most likely, some other company snatched the investor away.
Most probably. Most likely, they've gotten hold of something attractive.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star
would choose to light the way
for my ever wondering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who you are
I am a flower...
Thank you.
Please continue to work hard.
I'll work hard.
How many are there left? I'm exhausted.
I heard there's still about 100 left.
I'm starving.
Let's go for a meal after the interview.
There's more?
Yup.
Thanks!
Smile, smile.
Please support me.
I'll count on you in the future.
I'm Yoo Si Jun from the musical production company.
Can I see the president?
He went out for a meeting.
President.
Yes...
Yes, I got it.
What did he say?
He's waiting for President Kim.
He said not to worry and to quit work. He said he'll solve it.
He didn't even eat lunch.
Given his character, do you think he can eat anything now?
I'll go out for a while.
I'll see if there's any blind investor who's willing to invest in us.
I'm going out too.
I'll meet the bank managers and try to convince them to wait a while.
We'll wait as we drink.
Gae Hwa, clean up the office and quit as you see fit.
Have a safe trip.
What's your reason for choosing the musical as your next piece of work?
My greed to attempt a new challenge.
I like new things.
Acting in musicals is different from acting on the TV screen or in movies.
Wouldn't that be a burden for your acting?
Well...
Doesn't acting involve taking on new challenges?
Don't shake your legs during interviews.
Why do you keep shaking?
That's because they keep asking questions that make me mad.
What kind of questions?
Forget it.
Oh, President Jung, it's been a while.
What's the matter?
Is that so?
Is it confirmed?
Got it, thanks.
Hey, you don't have to act in The Show Company's production.
What?
Because of the lack of funds, the production might be discontinued.
Discontinued?
The matter is solved like this.
It's solved without me interfering.
How will it be discontinued?
How else? They won't be able to produce the musical.
Then what about that company?
That company can either close down or sack some staff, it'll be one of the two.
Without investment funds, how can such a small company continue on?
Besides, it's heavily in debt.
It can only close down.
It's solved although we didn't do anything.
What's with that look? You don't like that?
What? No, I do.
What can I do even if I called?
Could she been crying somewhere because of the company?
Hyung, I'm going back first.
Didn't you say you wanted crab soup?
Jung Min has already made a reservation.
Never mind about that.
I'm meeting someone for a drink. I'm going.
Stay low.
You came?
Has the investment funds gone to your side?
Well, he said to give it to us.
They decide based on the side which can sell more tickets.
Compared to a creative musical with unpredictable results,
choosing our side which will surely become a big hit
is a given, isn't it?
To interrupt something that has already been decided on...
You must have worked very hard, Sunbae.
No matter what you say,
the money will only go into my account.
Isn't that what's important?
You've worked hard.
Why did he come here?
[The Show Company, Planning support manager: Yoon Gae Hwa]
I've only used 2 pieces.
I'll have to work another 10 years to use all of these.
[My love, Min Ji]
Min Ji.
Mom, can you be a one day teacher at our school next week?
One day teacher?
For the parents to introduce their jobs?
Of course! There's a lot of things to talk about producing a musical.
Got it.
I'll talk to my company and take some time off to go.
We can't lose to Yoo Jin's mother, right?
That's right.
Min Ji too, fighting!
Yup.
Min Ji...
What should we do if I get sacked?
There's nowhere I can go.
Where can I find another job at this age?
That I got to join this place is already a miracle.
Now, there are people who see me as a colleague.
And I like the feeling of being acknowledge by someone else.
Although I'm only making coffee and running errands...
My desk,
my seat...
I like them.
Did you come after hearing about it?
It's not confirmed yet so you don't have to make a conclusion yet.
Let's talk.
How did this happen?
It's true that the investment got cancelled.
But nothing has been confirmed yet.
Although you may feel uneasy, just wait.
What is there to wait for when there's news of your company closing down everywhere?
And have you thought of how worried your employees are?
This kind of situation always happened but we've managed to come so far.
We'll overcome it this time too.
Are you asking me to believe in those words and wait?
Is this all you've got even after putting up a strong front?
Don't make conclusions yet.
You think that I can't find any solutions to handle this
even after being in this industry for over 10 years?
Does this mean that you're an old hand while I'm an amateur?
What should we do?
The amateur is unable to stay still in this situation.
What is with this situation?
Oh, President came back?
Min Woo's car...
You were never willing to attend rehearsals. Why did you come here suddenly?
Because what you're doing makes me feel frustrated.
You put up such a strong front when you casted me
but now that the investment is lost, can't you do anything about it?
Outsiders like you don't know
how many problems we have to overcome before we put a production on stage.
Although this is a rare crisis,
we can overcome it.
Just wait.
That's what you say.
