Scent of a Woman
Episode 6
What is it?
What's wrong, Mom?
What did you do?
What?
You are being sued for 300 million won.
300 million?
That can't be.
[Director Lim Se Kyung]
[Claim for Damages]
[300 million]
I mean... to pay back 300 million won?
What are they talking about? Where do we even have that kind of money?
What are we going to do?
What are we going to do about this?
Mom...
This... I don't think we have to worry about this.
I think there's been some kind of a mistake.
What?
Would the court make this kind of a mistake?
Sure they could.
The work done in the court is done by people too.
And I haven't done anything wrong.
I'd have to have done something wrong for me to pay for any damages.
I'll find out what's going on tomorrow and take care of it.
So you stop worrying about it.
What?
You don't trust your own daughter?
Nothing's really going on, right?
- I can trust you, right? - Of course you can.
Mom, didn't you say earlier that you wanted some watermelon?
Why don't you go and watch TV.
I'll bring out some watermelon.
Hurry and get up.
Hurry, hurry.
It really wasn't me!
It would have been better if you'd stolen money.
For people like you, do you even have honor to reclaim?
Who are you here to see?
Ms. Lim Se Kyung.
She didn�t come in to work today due to the MOU signing ceremony.
- You're here. - If you had been earlier, I wouldn't have had to wait.
What would I gain from coming early and waiting around?
- My name is Lim Se Woon. - Nice to meet you.
This is...
My name is Kang Ji Wook.
Se Kyung's personality is something else, isn't it?
She wasn't born to be normal to begin with.
Let's go in.
This agreement is the first step in developing a joint brand for travel packages for VVIPs.
Seojin Card possesses the most VVIP members in the world of credit cards.
By the signing of this MOU, in terms of our high-end tour package products,
we're anticipating great synergy.
Seojin Card along with Line Tour will use the same distribution network.
In order to enhance the benefit for both parties involved,
we will closely assist the development of the show business.
Then, the Chairman of Seojin Group,
Lim Joong Hee, has some words of wisdom to share with us.
It is a good day.
More talk of business will bore you so I will share some good news with you.
As you all know, Lim Se Kyung is my daughter.
General Manger Kang Ji Wook and she will be getting engaged by the end of the month.
Everyone, please congratulate them and give them your blessing.
Then, greet the audience.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
What brings you here?
I don't think someone like you belongs in a place like this.
Then should we go somewhere else?
Please rescind the lawsuit.
And if I can't?
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm just trying to do what's right.
The art center lease fee, the cost of Wilson's visit and plane ticket, etc.,
all went to waste because of you.
That's what should be said if I really did steal the ring.
Anyways...
You can't use those words as your backup.
Backup?
By any chance, are you holding a grudge because I slapped you?
Then what about me?
You slapped me too.
Let's say that at first you didn't know who I was, so you acted out.
After causing the accident, you go on vacation to seduce my man...
Okay, that can happen too.
However, now shouldn't you act according to your level?
What?
I would consider canceling the lawsuit
if you got down on your knees and apologized to me right now.
What can we do?
My knees weren't made to bend down in front of someone like you.
Then there's nothing we can do.
Let's wait and see how long you can act so mighty in front of me.
Okay.
Let's see how far we can go then.
I'm going to win this lawsuit.
There's no reason for an innocent person to lose.
And when that happens, I won't let you get away with it.
No matter what,
the fact that there are horrendous tycoons like you,
I will make sure to let everyone know.
What are you doing over there?
Who does she think she is to raise her voice to Se Kyung?
She used to work for Line Tour,
but she caused an accident which caused a lot of problems for the company.
I filed a lawsuit against her for it,
and it seems she came to argue with me about it.
On such a good day like this...
how can someone like that come in here and ruin it?
What are you doing over there? Get rid of her!
I don't think there's a need for that.
It seems as though they've ended their conversation,
and more so than that, today is supposed to be a good day.
Yes, Ji Wook is right.
Why don't we all go?
Let's go, Ji Wook.
I apologize about earlier.
What do you have to apologize about?
It's the fault of others for letting her in.
Mr. Jang, from now on, please take care of his suits.
I understand.
Pick out a nice one.
It will be my first gift to my son-in-law.
He has a nice body, so I think he'll look good in anything.
I'm sure you don't mean that you'll make just anything.
It seems a little hot to be playing golf.
What do you think about going horseback riding instead?
Let's do that then, that's a good idea.
Chairman, I apologize, but I have to leave first.
Why?
His expression hasn't been that good since earlier today.
Are you unhappy with the engagement announcement?
Is there a reason for him to be happy?
We're supposed to be alone on a day like this.
I guess we didn't think about that.
That's right.
From now on, in front of my family,
especially in front of my brother, can you pretend we have a good relationship?
Did you know that the engagement date had been set?
Why are you so surprised?
We're supposed to be getting married anyways,
so isn't it a given that an engagement date would be set?
People who just go and do what they want without letting me know first,
having my father for that is enough.
By any chance, is this about that woman?
What?
I don't think you're this upset just because our engagement date was set.
"Since we're getting married anyways, let's do this quietly."
Weren't you the person who said that?
Fine.
I'll think about it.
Whether I'm upset because of the engagement or because of that woman.
Call the company lawyer to my room.
As we've signed the MOU, it wouldn't look good to help that individual.
There's not much a company can do concerning a lawsuit against an individual.
If we do that, it may cause even bigger problems, and we could just be asking for a fight.
I understand.
You may leave.
I really do feel bad about the concert,
but I'm also not the one responsible for it.
I didn't steal the ring.
The more I think about it, the more I think it's unfair.
I understand how you feel.
You do?
It's so ridiculous we have to go to court over something like this.
But at the end of it all, I have to prove my innocence.
As a lawyer, you...
I'm sorry to say this, but I won't be able to take this case.
Why?
We're assigned to do some work with Seojin Group.
Ah...
Kim Soon Jeong.
Food delivery is here.
Silly girl, you scared me.
What's going on with the lawsuit? Did you take care of it?
I told you not to worry.
How can I not worry?
Ah... so refreshing!
It's doing wonders for my stress. Mom, you try it.
No thanks.
It's too big.
You're pretty... Come on! Have some more.
Come on!
It's not Lim Se Kyung?
No.
You said you're engaged to Lim Se Kyung, but you're asking me to defend the other party?
How many times are you going to ask me the same thing?
How did you become a lawyer this way?
Hmm... if Seojin Card is the opponent, this won't be easy.
You have a good reputation. How hard can this be for you?
Are you positive the employee didn't steal the ring?
She definitely isn't the type of person to do that.
So this must be what it feels like.
So, you like this woman?
I never said it was a woman.
But it's a woman, right?
Yeah.
It is a woman.
It's not what you think.
I'm just concerned because she used to be an employee of mine,
and I'm the General Manager.
Okay.
Send her to our law firm.
I want to say this again, but this really isn't like that.
I said I got it.
What are you doing over there? Get rid of her!
- Yes? - Why aren't you answering your phone?
I just answered.
Where are you?
Behind.
Were you waiting for me?
I found a lawyer.
I'll get you the number, so call and go see them tomorrow.
I'm not doing this because I have feelings for you.
Don't misunderstand.
It's because I'm the General Manager...
I'm not misunderstanding anything...
Since it's almost time, why don't we go in?
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Cool!
That's too difficult...
For the Argentine Tango, after you learn how to hold and walk, Salida is the first set of steps you learn.
The Salida is set up in 8 steps.
Then shall we try it with a partner?
Audrey!
If one more man would've shown up, we would've had the perfect number of partners.
It's a shame.
Salida... all together.
Start!
One.
Two.
Three.
Four, five.
Six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four,...
Where are you going?
Hold on a second.
General Manager...
In tango, it's important how the man leads.
Would you like to try it by yourself?
It's only 8 steps!
And you can't even do that?
Change partners.
I got it, right? I got it, you saw it, right?
You're that happy?
Everyone got it on their first try,
but since it took you several attempts, does it make you that happy?
General Manager!
Since you've changed partners, you're doing really well!
Very good!
Keep going!
General Manger Kang Ji Wook and she will be getting engaged by the end of the month.
"The first time I met her was when I was 9 years old."
"From that moment on, 25 years ago, I had a one-sided love."
Doctor.
Doctor!
Aren't you going home?
I should.
[Anne of Green Gables]
Your job is...
An office employee.
It doesn't seem like you're just a regular business man.
You can tell by the clothes.
Where do you live?
Pyeongchang-dong.
Height?
184 cm. Weight: 71 kg. Shoe size: 275.
Alcohol limit: 5 bottles. Hobbies, don't really have one.
And I'm the only son. Is this enough?
The thing I disliked the most was...
sitting in the back with arm in arm.
That's why I said...
"Here's my letter of resignation, you son of a bitch."
And I threw my resignation letter at him.
Just listening to it is invigorating.
Invigorating?
Jerks like that needs to have at least 10 of their teeth knocked out in order to feel invigorating.
If I have another opportunity, I'll do that.
Drink...
Okay.
Were you always this good at drinking?
I was going to quit drinking because of something...
but since I'm so happy today...
Each person needs to pay 30,000 won.
I don't think anyone needs to pay...
I think I heard the General Manager say that he'll pay earlier.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- I really enjoyed it. - I enjoyed it, General Manager.
- I really enjoyed it. - I also enjoyed it.
Hey! You!
- You don't think it was too much for you? - No.
- You can go. See you next time. - See you next time.
How far are you going?
To my car...
Do you think you can take me on your way?
I will take you.
When did I say I'd pay?
You're a chaebol, so you have lots of money.
Why? Do you think it was a waste?
Write down the lawyer's name and number.
I'm going for round two.
Why are we here?
By any chance...
you're not thinking of swimming here?
Yes, I am.
Are you crazy?
I decided to do everything I want to do.
Aren't you coming in?
Haven't you always wanted to swim in a pool in the moonlight without anyone around?
Never!
You're no fun.
It's so refreshing.
Help me please.
Here.
What are you doing?
It's fun, isn't it?
It's not?
Isn't it fun?
Do you remember Okinawa?
I had so much fun then.
Why?
You look like you had fun today too.
A lot.
Do you know you're a very strange person?
Your life can't be boring since you live doing whatever you want.
I used to live not doing anything I wanted,
but I decided not to be like that anymore.
I felt like I'd regret it when I die.
"I should do it tomorrow, I'll do it tomorrow... thinking like that,
and you'll find there may not be a tomorrow.
What are you talking about?
It'll be tomorrow in just another hour.
It doesn't seem like you're worried about the lawsuit?
I'm not going to worry about it.
I thought about it, and there's no need to worry about it.
I trust that nothing will happen,
because I'm innocent.
But, wasting my precious time on such useless things like that,
does make me angry.
Tomorrow, make sure to go visit that lawyer.
He's trustworthy.
Kang Ji Wook.
Do you...
like me?
How can that be possible?
Then...
mind your own business.
And from now on,
don't come to tango class either.
- Why are you all of a sudden... - If by any chance,
you really want to learn the tango,
get private lessons.
People with lots of money...
that's how they do it.
Shall we go then?
What does that mean?
You're making me feel pretty lousy.
Before I die...
I thought it'd be nice to date you.
This is why I...
even thought to seduce you.
If you seduced me,
you think I'd fall for it?
What makes you think that?
Are you even in that kind of position?
That's why...
I'm thinking of quitting.
Congratulations...
on your engagement.
Did you call for me?
Are you out of your mind right now?
What are you talking about?
I heard you've been looking into lawyers!
Rumors do spread fast.
You idiot.
Do you think Se Kyung filed the lawsuit for money?
Do you think she filed it because she has no money?
She was upset over getting slapped by a nobody...
So she did it to show her it wasn't right.
Whose side are you taking?
She was our employee, and is innocent.
I can look into it.
What?
Since when did you have such interest in the company business?
If that's the case, it may be better for you to just stay out of it.
Those being passive and cynical on everything, aren't they who you've been hating?
Exactly, who would you want me to please here?
Aigoo.
All right then.
Please, I'm just asking you to get your act together.
The person that you are about to marry is
Lim Se Kyung.
It's Lim Se Kyung.
I know.
The most expensive woman in Korea... Lim Se Kyung.
Okay... okay.
This is the opera she really likes.
I mean, do I have to do stuff like this too?
Here.
Please, stop paying attention to other things, and focus on Se Kyung.
To start, please start by writing down everything that you think is unfair.
And then, find the evidence to prove your innocence.
You can do this on your own, so good luck.
I've been really busy all day.
I asked help at one of those free law aids,
so that I could prepare my defense.
How can I tell mom that?
I already told her I took care of everything.
But, what's wrong with your voice?
I'm in the middle of a blind date right now.
What?
Blind date?
You should've told me sooner!
I'm hanging up.
Oh and... do a good job.
Well, at least someone is happy.
I'm in this rut,
and she's out meeting a man.
Hi.
Your life is the best.
There's no way you'd be sued.
Hold my hand.
Do you have 300 million won?
No.
What are you doing?!
Hello.
Don't touch someone else's dog.
Malbok. Here... eat.
Malbok?
That's a cute name.
Go ahead and eat...
Malbok* is right around the corner. You should grow and get fat before that day comes.
(*Malbok - a specific date that marks the end of the hottest days of summer)
Grandpa...
You're not going to eat Malbok, are you?
That's right.
I'm going to make Malbok into something edible.
Grandpa...
How can you do something like that?
Stop minding someone else's business,
and just take care of your own stuff.
Dummy and a spinster...
You guys frustrate me so much,
that you zap me of my energy.
He eats so well,
but why isn't he gaining any weight?
[Malbok]
One week?
Are you done eating?
I'll get you some water.
Malbok!
Thanks for today.
I'll treat you to dinner next time.
Ah... ah.
Ah.
- What is it? - Doctor Lee Do Wook's farewell party is today.
Aren't you going?
Why?
- I have a previous engagement. - You should try to cancel it and go.
The director of the hospital is coming too.
It's an important appointment.
You don't have an appointment, do you?
Are you bailing out just because you're upset Doctor Lee Do Wook is going instead of you?
Yeah?
I told you last time that I'd buy dinner?
You're buying dinner?
I can buy it.
Okay... then where shall we meet?
Home?
My house?
Ah... okay. My house is fine.
Oh... come in.
You want to come in?
Come on in. Is your body ok?
Come in. Is your body ok?
Is your body ok?
Come in. Is your body-
Come in... is your body ok?
Your body can come in.
Huh?
He must have named him Malbok because he planned to eat him on Malbok.
I felt so bad for him that I didn't know what else to do.
He is in the same predicament as I am.
Terminal...
But...
I have 5 months left, but he only had a week left.
Knowing that, how can I just sit back and watch?
But...
Why me?
My other friend is in middle of a blind date.
And on top of that, her mom is allergic to dogs.
Can you keep him for just a few days?
I'll try to find him a permanent home.
Okay then.
Thank you, Eun Seok.
I was so thankful for the other day too.
Let's go out.
I'll buy you something really delicious.
You wait here for us.
We'll be back soon from dinner.
If you're ok with it...
Want to eat here?
Huh?
Ah...
I don't think we can take the dog to the restaurant...
and I don't think we should leave him alone here either.
Before I die...
I thought it'd be nice to date you.
This is why I...
even thought to seduce you.
That's why...
I'm thinking of quitting.
- Should I do it instead? - No, that's ok.
When it comes to cooking... you're supposed to go by your hands...
Hand it over.
Will you step aside?
This is...
my kitchen.
Okay.
You sure do have a lot of books.
Oh!
This...
Is this possibly the book I lent you?
Wow...
I was wondering where this book went and it's been here all along.
Wow. You're really something.
How could you have kept this all this time?
If you think about it, I was pretty mature back then.
How could a nine-year-old have read a book like this?
Now that I think about it, I remember these quotes...
Felicia said...
"The world is full of things that you never could have imagined happening. "
"But the thing is, the things that you thought couldn't happen, when it happens... "
"It is really cool. "
"Because the things you never thought could happen, is happening..."
Dinner... is ready.
Okay.
Hmm... hey.
Instead of being a doctor, you could be a cook.
Eat slow.
I haven't had anything to eat all day.
What have you been doing that you couldn't even eat?
There's something keeping me busy.
Ah! I'm learning to tango.
Tango?
When you told me about my condition,
I was so upset...
so I went on a vacation.
It started out really good.
But the ending was the worst.
Bad guy.
Such a jerk.
When I felt all alone in the world,
By chance, I met an old man and tangoed with him.
And at that moment, my heart felt so warm...
And I felt comfortable then.
You too...
when you have time, won't you learn how to tango?
I could use a male partner too.
I don't have any interest in that.
Actually...
I didn't think you'd be able to dance well either.
He really couldn't dance well either...
There's just someone I know like that.
Hey Kang Ji Wook!
Long time no see.
You guys never change.
You must be stressed over the wedding.
I'll say.
You've never been the one to come to places like this for a drink.
Who is he marrying?
None of your business.
Why don't you come sit next to me?
Oh... Kang Ji Wook, you're something else!
Isn't this your first time rebelling?
You didn't have to walk me out here.
You should've told me that before we left then.
That was a joke.
Is your body better?
Yeah...
It's still holding its own.
You do know that you need to come in for a checkup at the hospital, right?
Yes.
The bus is here.
Please take care of Malbok.
I'll be going now.
So you are "Malbok", aren't you?
I'm bored.
Let's go, Oppa.
This isn't fun.
Who is it?
It's you, isn't it?
Malbok is gone!
What?
Malbok... is gone?
You think I'm going to fall for that?
Where did you hide Malbok?
I don't know...
Why are you searching our house for that dirty dog?
Malbok!
Oh my... Grandpa! What do you think you're doing inside someone's home?
Malbok!
You can search around... because you won't find him here.
This fall be prepared to move out.
Understand?
You say the same thing all the time. Aren't you tired of it by now?
Bye...
What's going on?
What have you done now?
I hid him at the house of someone I know.
Crazy, crazy!
Ugh. Why did you take someone else's dog?
Then what do I do?
He said he was going to eat Malbok!
You saw it too.
That cute dog...
He said he was going to eat it, do I just sit and watch?
Even if that was the case...
How can you go around causing trouble all the time?
You're going to be 40 soon.
You have no job, no husband.
You're driving me crazy.
What do you mean I'm almost 40?
Don't talk back and hand over the money for this month's bills. Hurry!
I will give it to you.
Ugh... this girl!
Please retrieve your card.
What is this?
It is because of a hold.
A hold?
Yes.
It says here that all of Lee Yeon Jae's accounts have been put on hold.
Because of that, you can't access them.
That doesn't make any sense.
Then does that mean I can't access any of my own money to use?
Probably not until the lawsuit is over.
How can something like this happen?
I have never even heard of someone's account being frozen.
How can something like this happen without even being notified?
I checked and they said they sent a notice about your account being put on hold.
Why don't you check your mail and ask your neighbors if they got it.
Since it's possible they got it by accident.
Then what am I supposed to do?
I have no money on me right now.
It's no use telling that to me,
why don't you go to the person that sued you and try to talk to them?
Hello?
The woman that you said you were going to send, she hasn't shown up yet.
She hasn't even called.
I'm sorry for this...
but I don't think you need to worry about it.
No.
I realized it's something I should've stayed out of.
There's no need for me to be concerned over an ex-employee who's already resigned.
Okay. Bye.
It's Kang Ji Wook.
The opera is today.
I will pick you up.
No. I have to stop by my house first.
Hello?
It's... it's Lee Yeon Jae.
Can you talk right now?
Yes.
What is it?
I have something to tell you.
Did you by any chance leave work yet?
Yes.
Why don't you come to my house?
Shouldn't the person with something to say come over?
Yes, I understand.
Well...
Your house is...
Ah... in Pyeongchang-dong?
Then, see you in a bit.
Welcome...
Why are you so surprised?
I know I said I'd come to pick you up.
Father told me to bring this to you.
The suit from last time.
Aren't you going to take it?
Go and change.
I'm curious to see what it looks like.
Where are you?
Umm... I'm almost there.
It's a bit far from the bus stop.
Go back.
What?
I don't think we can meet today.
What you need to tell me, tell it some other time.
Excuse me...
Hello?
It will only be a second. If you're home...
It will only take a moment.
That's a relief.
It looks nice on you.
Where's your car?
I sent it away.
I thought it'd be easier to go together.
[Lim Se Kyung]
Did you enjoy your date?
What are you doing?
I had something to say...
It must be something really important then.
Seeing that you waited for over 3 hours.
Say what you wanted to say.
I'll hear it out.
My bank accounts have been frozen.
I have two accounts and both of them are frozen.
All the money I have ever made are in those accounts,
And because they're now frozen,
I can't retrieve it.
Right now,
I have less than 10,000 won in my wallet.
I can't get any of my money out.
You were so confident a few days ago.
But now you're here to borrow money?
It's not that.
Could you talk to Lim Se Kyung?
Not about the lawsuit itself, but to release the holds on my accounts...
That there isn't a need to go that far...
Didn't you see us together a little while ago?
You could have told her yourself?
What's your intention of waiting until now to ask me?
You think it would work better to ask a man since you're a woman?
You're trying to go for sympathy?
Is that it?
Transfer 300 million won to Lee Yeon Jae's account.
Right now.
What are you doing?
Didn't you hear?
I just told him to transfer 300 million won to your account.
Why?
When you get that money, you can get your accounts back.
You don't have to thank me. It's nothing.
When did I ask you for the money?
I just asked you to talk to that woman.
There's no need to suffer through the lawsuit, is there?
You can just end it with money.
Do you know what it means to pay that money?
That means I'm confessing that I took that ring.
And, if I pay her the money, do you think it takes care of everything?
Then, the money you gave me.
I don't have to pay that back? Is that something I don't need to pay back?!
Don't pay me back then!
Don't show up in front of me ever again saying that you're going to pay that money back!
I don't want to get involved with a woman like you anymore either!
Take the money and leave.
And...
Don't ever show yourself in front of me anymore.
Because of you,
I think I'm going crazy.
