Cunning Single Lady
Aish! I shouldn't have bothered her like that.
Episode 10
I told you to listen well.
Stop pretending like you don't understand.
Na Ae Ra,
what makes you angry, what makes you cry,
what you like... I want share those moments with you. I want to do that.
Let go of me.
I told you to listen well. Stop pretending like you don't understand.
Na Ae Ra, what makes you angry,
what makes you cry, what you like...
I want to share those moments with you. I want to.
CEO! By chance, have you seen the CEO?
Oh, he's not in the room?
There's a big problem! They say that the server went down.
Huh?
CEO!
CEO, where are you?
What do we do about this? If CEO isn't here recovery will be difficult.
They say that the development team is going crazy right now.
Is he not answering?
Yes.
The CEO's car isn't here.
Do you think he got the report and headed up first?
No, they said that I was the first person they reported it to.
CEO!
Cha Jeong Woo!
Where has he gone?
No way, he wouldn't...
When did you do all this?
A little at a time. Since this is my dream.
What are you doing here?
They say that there's a big commotion at the company. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go, right now.
Ae Ra,
who are you worrying about?
The CEO of the company?
Or Cha Jeong Woo?
Who are you worrying for?
The CEO of the company.
What's most precious to you right now is the company.
There's a problem at that company right now.
Why are you here like this? Everyone 's waiting for you!
I know!
What in the world was I hoping for?
Why are you acting like this?
Na Ae Ra, you have a natural talent in saying cruel things. Now and back then, too.
Then what kind of answer were you hoping for?
Neither. Cha Jeong Woo nor the CEO.
Since it's not something for you to worry about.
Since I don't need it.
Cha Jeong Woo, even when saying mean things, there's a thing called manners.
I know. It's only that I don't want to follow those proper manners at this time.
I don't know why you thought I'd be here and came,
but in the future I'd like it if you didn't come.
DONTALK
Oh, Ae Ra, I'll do it. I will. I will.
Oh, I can't live. I can't live. Why is he making it so obvious?
Hoobaenim, how can you just disappear when there's a big commotion at work?
With only a single text.
Na Ae Ra, aren't you playing independently too much? It's a relief that the server was recovered fast.
Last night was crazy! The CEO disappeared too!
I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
I had a severe stomachache.
Here. You're tired, right. Eat while you work.
Guk...Guk Seung Hyeon.
Let's talk.
Here.
Are you buying these for us, Guk Seung Hyeon?
I'll eat it well. -"Very, very" thank you!
Ae Ra, you learn these kind of things, too.
It's nothing much. Since it's to commemorate my first paycheck eat it deliciously.
Shall we go?
Did you want to eat it, just the two of us together?
Then it's too obvious.
Be quiet.
The doors are closing.
Fine.
Honestly, I can't say that I never expected this.
I had some popularity among men even back in elementary school.
'If you were just taller you could go out for Miss Korea,'
I heard that all the time from people, too.
'God is fair so he gave you beauty but not brains,'
I even heard that kind of talk, too.
But still, I feel a bit perplexed.
That I'm a woman that appeals to a man so much younger than me...
There's a piece to this that I really never expected.
Still, I should say what I need to say, right?
I, unfortunately,
can't accept your heart.
I'm sorry.
Ok.
So, so...sending these around and showing your generosity,
I hope that you'd refrain from it.
I didn't just give this to you, Ae Ra.
That's why. It shows that since it was awkward for you to just give it to me, you gave it to
EVERYONE.
It shows?
Of course, it shows.
Since you overdo it like this, I feel burdened.
You don't need to feel burdened.
Can't you just leave it be?
Whether you accept me or not is your mind, but whether I like someone or not is mine.
I... on the outside may look all right,
but I'm a person with a painful past.
Living until now, I've had a lot of scars.
Truthfully,
I don't have the margin to like anyone.
You don't have to speak that far, since I sufficiently understood that you were rejecting me.
I'm sorry, if your pride was hurt.
Oh, there's nothing for you to be sorry about.
Well, this time let's say that I was rejected,
since I'm going to do it again next time.
At that time, you'll accept... my confession.
For now eat.
Why are you like that?
It's nothing.
What about you?
Me?
It's nothing.
Aiyoo.
Why?!
I...
was dumped.
What?
It's probably for the best.
You should be relieved that you broke up at this point.
Dating a materialistic woman,
will only make you suffer.
Hyung, are you adding salt to my
broken heart?
No, it's not that...
I'm going to go out of my mind.
Don't look for me!
Hey...
Hey punk! Don't drink too much alcohol!
That punk...
Aiyoo, really.
Hey punk, forget her!
Half the world is women.
I tipped our waiter well so he'll know.
You're going to drink from the river of goddesses very shortly.
That's right. We'll take good care of it so that our brother could make a new girlfriend.
Hey, but I...don't think that I'll be able to forget her.
How can love change?
I treated her so well!
Aiyoo, our Hyungnims waited a long time, didn't you?
The goddesses in order. Go in on both sides.
This way.
Unnies, you should know that it's an honor to be here tonight.
Over there, you see that gentleman over there?
That person's background is pretty amazing.
He's that Dontalk's CEO.
Oh, really?
Today, I don't want to talk about those things.
For the women to feel burdened.
I'm not burdened.
CEO Cha was my younger brother's tutor.
Through my brother, I learned that his business was struggling.
So that's his relationship with Guk Seung Hyeon.
Excuse me?
Huh? It's nothing.
So you two have known each other for a very long time.
When I see such an amazing man with an amazing woman as partners for a while,
I think it could turn into some other kind of relationship.
Are there any possibility of that?
I'm not sure. There's nothing that has no possibility.
Yes.
Oh my, what does that mean?!
I knew this would happen! I cast one vote in that they are already dating.
How could a man and woman, without any feelings... Just as partners...
It doesn't make sense.
Director Guk is such a strong opponent.
I think they fit well together.
Excuse me? The CEO?
Yes, I understand.
Everyone! The CEO is coming to our department.
Everyone, clean up your stations!
Director Kang! Get me an employee report from our last workshop.
Now, hm?
Hurry, hurry!
Please don't mind me and continue working.
I said please sit.
Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader Wang.
Ah, yes.
Ah, yes, our Team Leader Kang as well.
I'm Pi Song Hee. Pi.
Why did you come... to our department?
Oh, well,
from an applauding stance.
♫ Mirror, mirror, who does that person like? ♫
♫ Heaven, heaven, who does that person think about? ♫
Thank you for taking care of us.
Na Ae Ra.
Yes?
The contract deal you mentioned at the workshop.
Yes?
Well, I don't think it's bad.
Okay. Please make a planning document before you leave work today.
Excuse me? Today?
Yes.
I haven't even done the market research for that yet.
Then, at the workshop, were you just throwing out ideas without any prior research?
At a meeting with the CEO present?
I was just talking comfortably because we were just throwing around ideas.
Miss Ae Ra... Yes!
Yes, we understand, CEO!
Then, please work hard.
Yes.
Not yet. I don't know if I can finish this before today ends.
Yes.
Why is she on the phone instead of the work I gave her?
It's me.
Why?
Are you done?
You did this on purpose, right?
What? - How can I do this proposal in half a day? Is there only one or two things to research?!
When there's a will, there's a way.
If you're desperate, work is something that you can finish in one hour, much less a half a day.
Do you know what today is? You vicious CEO!
Today?
Wednesday. - Let's not talk.
Whatever the case, until you finish it up, you can't go anywhere.
Because of you, I can't get off work. Just know that you have to be sorry. - Shut up. End of conversation.
Really. Even though we've divorced, how can he not know what today is?
Na Ae Ra
Where are you going?!
Where do you think you're going? Hey!
Na Ae Ra, you can't go anywhere.
Did you just come after me about the proposal?
That's right.
I left a text! Saying that I'll hand it in before tomorrow morning's meeting.
Then you should have called if it was so important.
It's already midnight!
All right. If it's that important of a proposal. Then, I'll go home and stay up all night to get it done if I have to.
No way! - What?
Why don't you have any sense of responsibility! You should finish your work before going home.
Hello, CEO Cha.
Even at the hospital, you didn't show your face at all.
I'm your life's savior. If you couldn't nurse me, couldn't you even make a phone call?
I did as much as I should. I'm not going to talk any further.
What are you talking about, 'you did as much as you should.' If I think about the injury I received at that time...
This shoulder still pains me.
So what? What do you want?
Work over time.
Aren't you coming?!
I'm sorry. I think I won't be able to see you today.
Let's just meet tomorrow. I must pay for dinner.
Work hard, hard.
Just make sure you're doing well.
Is an intern some neighborhood drum? Why is everyone picking on me?
Isn't it common sense that overtime is required in an IT company?
Why? Do you have an appointment? -Yes.
At this time?
With who? -Why do you want to know?
A guy?
Well, not a girl.
You used to say, there's no workplace like this and that you'll work diligently.
You were only dreaming of meeting a man! This is why the CEO doesn't have the taste to work.
I didn't know that an employee's dating influenced the CEO's taste for doing work.
From now on, I'd better turn the lights on in my eyes and just date!
That guy is so pitiful.
Does he know that your temper is like this? - He knows. He knows it all.
That's charm? He takes care of every little thing. I'm so happy I could die. Happy?
Do your work! - I am doing it!
I'm going to the restroom. So just work hard, just work. Here!
What kind of birthday is this?
This is a human right's violation.
Crappy CEO!
You should work at a company. What dating?
Eat if you want. Or not.
You're really considerate.
This is a nuisance. Because of a single term intern, the CEO can't go home right now!
I want to ask the ghosts what they're doing.
Not capturing a CEO like you. - Even the ghosts recognize a qualified human being.
Cha generation's leader who'll lead IT Korea.
Cha... Jeong...
Woo.
Really.
Aish!
So he knew and bought these. What... ?
Happy Birthday, Ae Ra.
How did he know?
I told you to just work without thinking about other things, right?
What the... ? Suddenly.
Seung Hyeon!
I'm sorry for yesterday. Did you wait long?
No. I went home right after your call.
That's a relief. I was working until dawn.
By any chance, do you have time this evening? I'll buy you dinner.
Call!
Director! Director! You're here?
You can just call me (to come over) - It's nothing..
I stopped by while passing through. - Oh yes. Right,
I sent you the product offering list for the luxury goods launching by email. Did you see it?
Is that so? I'll go up and check.
Yes - About the present that you picked...
Yes. - The person who received it, liked it. Thank you.
Yes. - Present? What present? For who?
During the last outing I asked her to choose a gift.
It was a gift for a man, so I didn't have confidence about it and received a bit of help from the expert.
A present for a man...
By any chance, is it...
That rumour is true?
What kind of rumors?
It's not that... That is..
Big News! Big News! The CEO and Director Guk...
What about CEO Cha and I...
No. It's something I heard outside.
Rumors are spreading that the two of us are dating?
How did you... ?
Really?
What should I do? - That means both of you are really...
Omo.. Omo... Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Does Director Guk know about our relationship?
Wait, why would I text him? It's not like I have feelings left for him.
What the... ?
What?
Nothing.
I think you're the only person who goes on a diet to save lunch time.
I heard you pulled an all-nighter again yesterday.
What are you doing?
I said it's nothing.
What did she send? It's making me so curious!
What is it?
What were you going to say to me?
Don't worry about it.
I sent it to the wrong person in my department.
Department person?
Who?
S...someone.
Why do you have to know that?
Who did you send it to?
Someone.
Who is it?
Someone!
Why are you so curious about someone else's personal life?
You don't have to worry about it.
I'm in a bad mood now, so let's stop.
I'm going down.
Say what you were going to say before,
who did you send it to?
Stop it. It's over since I said it once.
It's not my fault that you didn't hear it. It's yours!
Tell me now!
3.
2.
1.
W...was Mother-in-law supposed to come?
N...no..
What should I do?
What do you mean what should you do?
Come into the room.
Don't go anywhere.
What if she comes in here?
Huh?
Why aren't you answering your phone?
What brings you here? You didn't even call...
Why would a mother call when she's visiting her son's house?
But why are you home in the middle of the afternoon?
Oh, I came here to get something.
I got the card key from Secretary Gil because I couldn't reach you. That's okay, right?
Yeah, good job.
Come in.
Sit down.
I let it go because I was distracted then,
but I came here since I had to finish this.
Finish what?
What do you think?
It's about my ex-sister-in-law working here.
I told you that it has nothing to do with me!
Aigoo.
Who would believe that?
That would only work for an idiot.
She's leaving after completing her 3 month internship.
She wouldn't have come, if she was just going to leave after the internship.
Enough with the nonsense, have her quit immediately.
What is this sound?
She's not picking up.
Where did she go during work hours?
Na Ae Ra suddenly disappears sometimes.
Hey, didn't you hear something from the room?
I know.
Is someone inside?
What do you mean?
I'll go check.
What is this?
"Son-in-law Cha, I heard you enjoyed the soup I sent? If you think of it again, then..."
Why would you touch my cellphone..
Cha seobang?
Those people still contact you?
What is this nonsense?
It's not like that.
They sent me some side dishes before.
Hey, why would that family send you those things?
Oh my,
that old man or that older brother,
are full of it. They must be wanting something from you.
Mom, I think they're sticking to him now, because they want his new benefits.
There's nothing more to say.
So unlucky that even the dogs and cats have gathered! (Meaning everyone is coming.)
Stop talking nonsense, and make Ae Ra leave right away!
Stop it, now.
Hey, Jeong Woo...
Please return home for today.
Take Mother home.
You...
I'm asking you.
Why is he like that? It's not like I said something wrong.
You know that restaurant, right?
In-laws?
What do you mean "in-laws'"?
Take me there.
Did you... hear what Mother said..?
I heard her talking, but what did she say?
I couldn't really hear.
It was nothing.
Okay. Then I'm leaving.
Stop talking nonsense, and make Ae Ra leave right away!
So unlucky that even the dogs and cats have gathered!
Security deposit of $10,000 and $450 for each month's rent.
But, why did you rent this house?
Well, as my workshop,
as well as my mother's workshop.
What about the other place?
Well, it turned out like this.
It'd be good if you just painted this place.
Do it artistically as an art major.
If you help me.
Why would I?
Move your body if your heart is in pain.
Also, I bought you jjajangmyeon.
When did you?
Jjajangmyeon is here!
Right now.
It's good.
You chose a good one.
Even if the house is nice,
if the Chinese restaurant near it is bad, that's not good.
I know, right?
What would I have done if this was bad?
You're the youngest, right?
Yes. Why?
Whatever you do, you think everyone will adore you.
You're the youngest, too.
You have a younger sibling along with your older brother?
No.
But I'm different from the youngest who gets to have his own workshop.
You have a good life.
If you're jealous, we can use it together.
If you help me paint, I'll give you a key.
What?
Yeah, why?
Hey, I think you need to come home now.
I have to go back to work now.
There's a war going on here. Do you know who's here now?
Who?
What do you mean Ae Ra cannot grasp the situation, In-law?(Mother of son-in-law)
Before that, calling me "In-law" is a bit much.
It's been a very long time since the kids finished up their paperwork.
Anyway,
what did our Ae Ra do wrong?
Logically,
working at an ex-husband's company,
do you think that makes sense? - In-law...
I mean, ex-In-law...
"An ideal couple will complement one another."
What if an ex-wife helps with her ex-husband's planned business,
what do you mean that will be a great blemish?
On paper, they might be strangers,
but they must still have spouses' spirit between them.
It's probably not spouses' spirit, but darkness.
Our Ae Ra is not a 'pencil'(dark graphite lead). What dark 'ulterior motive?'
To be honest, if Jeong Woo's business hadn't gone well, would Sister-in-Law...
No... Would your daughter have even looked at him?
That's enough, and
I'm going to ask you a favor.
Please don't shake my son up.
Our Jeong Woo, now that his business may be up and running and his life may have become more livable,
but he struggled a lot during that time.
Do you not know how much trouble we went through because we brought a wrong person into the house?
So, are you saying that...
it's our Ae Ra's fault that Son-in-law Cha's business didn't go well?
Isn't it?
Can you say that, even after everything went well as soon as they got divorced?
That's because our Ae Ra supported him,
and those are the results because she made the money so he could invent!
If it weren't for that, do you think Son-in-Law Cha would be where he is now?!
Excuse me, my Jeong Woo
was a well-known genius from when he was young.
Whatever he did, he would have succeeded.
How about my Ae Ra?
Since she was born, rumors started spreading about how pretty she was,
and I thought I should send her to Miss Korea or have her start acting,
do you think it was just a night or two that I spent thinking about her options?
In the least, I thought she would marry a civil worker and live as a housewife.
If I had known she would live so horribly struggling like that and end up divorcing,
I never would've given my Ae Ra to Son-in-Law Cha!
This person, calm down.
Why didn't you make her a Miss Korea?
If she had that kind of power, by now,
she wouldn't be thinking of living off of a man.
What did you just say? -Since I've said everything that I wanted to say,
we'll be leaving now.
Oh, oh, my head.
Ow, ow, my head!
What is that woman saying?
Hey, hey. You!
Don't you even dream about getting back with Son-in-law Cha!
I'm not saying that I never thought about those things looking at Son-in-law Cha, but this isn't right!
Wow, that woman...
You'll die of cancer...
if you live with that woman as your mother-in law! Because of stress!
Ouch. My stomach! My heart is going to burst!
Oh, oh, my head.
Wake up!
I'm not working at this company to date.
Did I say something?
When I first came into this company...
yes, I wasn't blameless.
But... it's not like that now.
Now, I like my job and want to do well.
So what I'm saying is,
I'm not working here to get back together with you.
I don't have any desire to do that.
Hey.. why are you like this? Did something happen?
By any chance... did you hear what Mother said?
I don't care what Mother-in-law says.
Yes, she must hate me.
She must hate me, I get that.
But I can't stand her
visiting my family.
So that this will never happen again, have a talk with her.
Hold...
What is this?
Did you wait here for me?
For my birthday?
This isn't for you.
Then who is it for?
I bought this for you.
You didn't have to!
You grew up so properly so you act different, too.
Hey... - Last time when you came home drunk,
we promised that we'd have tea.
What?
But what should I do? I'm a little busy today.
Is something going on?
Well... I own a little business.
Even in this recession, quality
assurance and after service alone,
is causing a flood of orders.
It's being fulfilled on a day-to-day basis.
Then I'll help, too, while I'm here.
No, no! I can't make a guest work!
Min Yeong, should I do anything else?
No.
Hey, Guk, do you need help?
No.
This should be done by a delicate woman.
Give it to me.
You're doing well for your first time.
It's done.
This side.
I guess we should make more.
Give it to me.
Ah, it's hot. Hot.
You got burned?
It's so hot! - Oh, I'm so sorry!
What should we do? I'm so sorry!
What should we do?
Overreacting... Anyone who sees it will think it's a pimple!
All we have to do is put this on.
We'll do the rest, so you can relax.
Hey, Seung Hyeon, could you bring the wax here?
Sure.
Noona!
This looks nice.
It's really good, right?
But what is it?
It's your first time here, but your hands are empty.
Seung Hyeon. -Yeah.
Can I ask you to do something for me?
You punk! You seem desperate today.
What do you want? A bet is a bet.
Hyung, do you remember?
The first day we drank together.
Because I was struggling with friend problems;
Hyung, you said to me,
"When choosing friends, be cautious.
When leaving a friend, be more cautious."
Did I?
But what about it?
You've passed the age to be worrying about friends.
Are you talking about that woman?
I'll think about what to ask, for the bet I won.
Cautiously.
This punk. What kind of great thing are you going to ask...
Don't cry...
Oh, Father!
What is that?
What do you mean 'what is that'?
These are sunshines to drive away your mother's dark face!
Madame Jang. . .
What is this?
What do you mean? I bought it for you!
With what money?
Why is that important, in our relationship?
Your money is mine, and my money is yours!
You didn't touch the savings, right?
What?! How many times have you done this?!
How many times?!
What are you doing?
Aigoo! Oh my goodness!
Calm down, calm down!
Oh!
You becoming successful;
honestly, I'm angry.
After making my daughter suffer so much, you're living well all by yourself.
The one who claps her hands is a crazy bit*h!
After you broke up with Ae Ra,
did your life work out smoothly?
Look here,
after our Ae Ra divorced you,
she lived not knowing whether it was day or night to pay off all the debts.
Debts?
The debts from business, I...
A girl without education,
she took over the household for 4 years from the beginning...
Isn't it weird to not have debts?
Do you know how hard it was for me to look at her while living with her friend, trying to pay back those debts?
Sook Jae, darling. Please calm down.
Didn't Son-in-law Cha say he's sorry?
Yeah, Mom.
Doing this isn't right to a person who came to apologize.
You stay quiet! You're the same kind of person!
How could you spend your sister's alimony?!
Our Ae Ra is like that.
Although she acts like she's doing everything in life,
she never shows her pain, and suffers all by herself.
I'm sorry...
You don't need to!
I don't want to see you anymore,
so let's end it today!
Mother . . .
Mother? What mother? Who?!
Mom!
Why... why are you here?
You quit your work right now!
A finished fate is finished.
Were you hurt a lot?
It's natural that she acts like that.
She must hate me.
I understand.
It's a dialogue I've heard many times.
Is it?
Hey, Ae Ra...
I'm looking for other jobs.
After this project, I'm going to quit.
That... -Ah, my temper.
I shouldn't have gone to you in the first place.
I'm going now.
I have to comfort Mom.
Ae Ra.
There was a cellphone accessory at home. It's yours right?
Oh, really?
I didn't know it fell.
Yeah... It's in my office. I'll give it to you later.
Okay.
Aren't you leaving?
I came because I wanted to sleep with Mom.
Bye.
Why are you here?
Seung Hyeon. - Hyung.
I finished contemplating about the worry I told you about before.
Hyung. I...
No.
Don't.
