Color of Woman
Episode 1
[1: Don't Want to Sleep With You]
I'm Byun So Ra.
There are things I can't tolerate.
Anything that's crooked.
Women who act all pretty, cutesy, and weak.
Does the thickness of the makeup you apply guard your self-esteem?
Does the height of your high heels dictate your level of confidence?
You dare not go to the convenience store
without high heels and thickly applied makeup?
Why do you live like that?
Why do you have to live so furtively?
You say I'm harsh, but I'm just confident.
Or at least I was... until that happened.
I still don't want to talk about that incident.
Wow... She's jogging as usual today.
For three years, she has jogged at the same time.
She's five minutes faster than usual.
What?
- That's not good. - It's only five minutes.
Hey! That's exactly how you get caught.
I feel like something's going to happen.
I smell danger.
Come on.
Hey!
Whoa! Oh, no!
Byun So Ra?!
Come over here. Here.
Sh... Shouldn't you be exercising at this time?
- Who is it? Who's the girl? - Aigoo.
- Is that important to you? - What?
Having you see that...
You're embarrassed?
makes me feel embarrassed.
At least you know to be ashamed. Fine.
I know men have a harder time suppressing sexual urges than women,
but you should have told me sooner.
What?
You... sleep with me?
Didn't you do this because I'm not sleeping with you?
I know you've been endlessly good to me.
That's why I didn't want to say this, but...
But what?
Then, don't say it. Don't say it.
I don't...
Please, please.
want to sleep with you.
You, too...
Then... then how about that woman?
You want to sleep with that woman?
You don't, right? Say you don't.
Yeah.
Is she pretty?
No, right?
Is she that pretty?
No, right?!
- Let me see! - Oh, where are you going?!
Take this!
While you were fooling around with that woman,
I spent the entire night putting your thesis together.
Oh, geez.
Why did you throw it?
What page is this?
Wang Jin Ju?!
So Ra.
- What kind of person are you?! - Hey, wait.
- How could you do it with my friend?! - So Ra.
- No. - Calm down, calm down.
- So Ra, it's not like that. - You're just like him!
Aish! Seriously.
Jin Ju, I'll help you.
Hey! I just bought this yesterday and it's a brand name!
It's your fault it's broken!
I'm not even allowed to touch your things.
Wang Jin Ju, you...
Yes, I'm Wang Jin Ju. Is it a crime to be pretty?
- I may look unemployed, but I'm a model. - Han Sung Yi, Park Kyung Hee, Jung Su...
- Byun So Ra, all the names I forgot, - Did you make stew out of them?
- you still remember clearly. - Is it because other people's things...
are more desirable or something?
Do you not realize that the more you act like this, the more ridiculous you appear?
So Ra, you may feel confused and unhappy, but I...
No, we, don't understand.
- We don't know why you're so angry. - What?
What did you say? You don't know?
You don't know why I'm so angry?
- Hey! - It's dangerous!
Are you okay? Are you okay, Jin Ju?
Are you okay? You're not hurt anywhere, are you?
- Fine. - Let me see.
You've got nerve.
So Ra!
Hey! Hey!
Let's talk it out.
I don't want you to misunderstand me over something like this.
Aren't you and Lee Dong Wu friends?
You're not lovers, right?
Lee Dong Wu clearly stated that the two of you are just friends.
Honestly, I don't really understand how men and women can be friends.
But because you're Byun So Ra,
I thought it could be possible.
You know I'm stupid and I don't know how to lie, right?
Friends?
Your brain doesn't function well, but aren't you good at dating?
Would someone like you be tricked by a guy who's trying to make a move on you?
You know best whether you're lying or not.
Fine, count it as a lie then.
Let me ask you this.
Have you slept with Lee Dong Wu?
No, right?
You have to sleep together to be considered lovers?
Okay, have you guys kissed then? Held hands?
You're really despicable.
At a time like this, is that all you can think about?
Yes. Yes, I'm despicable.
You said just now that I'm a liar.
But, aren't you the one who's the liar?
Liar? Me? Why? What?
For what reason? To whom am I lying?
To whom? To yourself.
To myself?
I'm lying to myself?
Yes. I've realized this after observing you for some time.
You have no desire to develop a relationship beyond friendship with a man.
I used to think about why you're like that, but I don't want to anymore.
Why should I give myself a headache over this issue of yours?
Your boyfriends are the ones to be pitied.
Your boyfriends, including Lee Dong Wu.
Why are my boyfriends to be pitied?
Byun So Ra, we're high school friends.
Plus, we're roommates, even if it has only been a month.
Let's be honest here.
I don't know who he is, but there's definitely someone in your heart.
Isn't there?
Think about it.
You have one guy in your heart
but you're pretending to be in love with a different one.
The pitiful ones, including Lee Dong Wu,
are the men who brush by your empty shell, right?
I have one question for you.
Do you love Lee Dong Wu?
Can I reply to that?
You definitely have to reply.
To be honest, I'm not sure.
The Wang Jin Ju who was ranked 47th at school
when I was ranked first,
the one ranked first, if you counted backwards,
effortlessly stole my boyfriend.
And she said I, Byun So Ra, am a liar.
Also, the words I haven't heard in a long time,
I don't want to sleep with you.
Are you okay, Jin Ju?
These documents prove that Professor Han Il Guk, Director of the research dept...
engaged in illegal activities connected with BK research.
I want to expose Professor Han Il Guk for embezzling public funds.
If the university could only choose between keeping Professor Han Il Guk or you,
of course Professor Han would be chosen.
You worked hard to expose Professor Han,
but it appears you have to give up.
I have to give up?
You're allowing such an immoral professor to stay at the university?
Losing a job versus losing a boyfriend,
I was originally going to compare which is more painful, but I gave up.
At times like these, any person would
want to escape from the pain as quickly as possible.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross described five stages of grief:
denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
According to this theory, I'm still in the stage of depression.
Oh, you're here.
- What's going on? - I don't know.
She's completely out of her norm.
Wow. This is the latest style, huh?
Wow. It's so nice.
Nice? Why are you talking about that at a time like this?
Hurry and go see her.
Professor Byun, why are you calling me out now
instead of preparing for your lecture?
How do you see me?
Of course I see you as my friend, Byun So Ra.
Not like that.
Elementary school, junior high, high school, undergraduate, graduate, doctorate,
you were always ranked first.
The type who says she wants to die if she isn't ranked first.
You're the best of the best, with academic skills and a good personality.
That's why you befriended someone like me.
Will that do?
Thanks. But, is that all?
How could that be all?
The information on Provence ingredients you translated for me
last week was perfect.
It's thanks to you
that I was able to act cool at my company's seminar.
What else?
You want more?
You'll feel nauseous.
Not that kind of stuff.
How am I, as a woman?
As a woman?
As a woman... how do I say it?
You have a peculiar charm,
even though I can't exactly describe it in words.
Hey, is that punk Dong Wu upsetting you?
I'm quite knowledgeable about relationships, but I can't really fix your problem.
Why?
Because the arm always bends inwards at the elbow*. (*A person needs to be loyal.)
Let's go.
I'll teach him a lesson for you.
Hurry and get up.
It's over between us.
Over?
It's totally over with Lee Dong Wu?
You're okay with beer, right?
Come on.
Do men have women they want to sleep with
and women they don't want to sleep with?
Yes.
Did Lee Dong Wu say he doesn't want to sleep with you?
That guy is better than he looks.
What?!
Wouldn't it be much worse to have a person
who no longer likes you leave, after sleeping with you?
Stop acting like the world is coming to an end.
He's totally not worth it.
Once you become a full-time professor at S University
there will be guys lining up to marry you.
I got fired from the university too.
What? Why?
I wanted to dispel the corruption going on, but I was kicked out instead.
Oh, geez. You're so predictable.
What are you going to do?
So,
- let me apply to your company. - What?
During the past few years, I wrote your reports for you,
so I know the ins and outs of your company.
I'll join your company and then I'll find success again.
What's the big deal about men?
I won't jump into the Han River just because I didn't become a full-time professor.
Who am I? I am Byun So Ra.
Number 241, I'm Byun So Ra.
Did you oversleep?
Ever since I learned how to walk, I've never overslept.
You don't have the basics.
I'm sure you know this is a cosmetics company.
Of course I do.
What do you think cosmetics are?
"Why do women apply so many useless things on their faces,
making themselves look dumb?"
"I wouldn't do that, because I'm intelligent. "
Is that what you think, Miss Byun So Ra?
I've had those thoughts before.
If I didn't analyze the ingredients of this company's whitening products,
I would never have considered applying to a cosmetics company.
A professor of advertising has analyzed the ingredients of cosmetics.
Can you tell me why?
While at university, I was a member of many chemistry clubs.
I am also certified to conduct chemistry research and experiments.
There are a lot of products out on the market...
trying to entice women who cake themselves with makeup.
People who possess a superficial view and don't look at the core of the products,
cannot discern which products are good.
However, the whitening component of this company's cosmetics is full of sincerity.
It's surprisingly a perfect combination of science, medicine, chemistry, and nature.
But, with the exception of the preservatives in the whitener,
I want to use natural preservatives that are inexpensive and safe
to improve this company’s sincerity.
Sincerity.
Sincerity, yeah right.
Move out.
The contract between us is over.
We agreed you'd stay for only a month.
Can't I just pay next month's rent?
Also, I don't think you should be telling me to move out in your current circumstance.
Did you find a job?
That's none of your business. Get out.
I want to live alone now.
Hey!
No, I'm staying here.
It's a no, too.
Hurry and leave.
Brat, watch your temper.
I know, I get it.
Let's talk about it later.
Hey!
I met Lee Dong Wu today and had drinks with him.
Here.
These are the gifts you gave him while you were dating.
Is there something wrong with the structure of both of your brains?
So Ra, don't ruin our friendship over a guy.
Friendship?
Is there anything that can be classified as friendship between us?
Yes, to you,
there's no such thing as friendship or love.
There was never friendship between us,
nor love between you and Lee Dong Wu.
After what happened this time, I've come to my senses about a lot of things.
Although we live together, I don't help you at all.
Foolishly making box lunches and writing papers for those men,
is that how you plan to waste the beautiful years of your 20s?
I'll transform you into a beautiful woman
and then have you date an especially great guy. Okay?
I feel like our friendship is just now beginning.
It sounds like it's Lee Dong Wu. Answer it.
Later.
Hurry and answer!
Didn't we just talk? Why are you calling again?
You went drinking again?
You can't keep saying you want to see me.
How can I come over there now?
This is pissing me off.
Hey, Lee Dong Wu, you can't even wait just a little?
Fooling around with Wang Jin Ju makes you that happy?
Didn't you use to say you hate women who are dumb and clingy like Wang Jin Ju?
Okay, sure. Please hold on.
Your dad wants to talk to you.
You're not going to deal with it?
He'll get worried.
He'll keep repeating the same thing.
Nowadays, my dad keeps saying that if I don't get married,
I better return to my hometown.
"You're not getting any more allowance money. "
"You better pay back the money for your apartment. "
Argh! It's so annoying.
Byun So Ra! You take responsibility for me!
What? But, hey...
Seriously! What's wrong with me?
Just one more week.
Don't even dream of staying longer.
What?! You plan on kicking me out?
- Why only a week? - Within one week,
I think I'll completely forget the mistake I made to your dad.
That way, I won't feel guilty about kicking you out again.
By that time, will you also have forgotten what happened with Dong Wu and me?
Oh, that Dong Wu isn't as good a kisser as I imagined.
Breaking up with that guy was the right thing to do.
A guy who doesn't even know how to kiss...
Oh, right...
You don't know much about men.
Hey, get out. Get out now.
Give that back.
- Get out. Hey! - No!
Why did he only return these things to me?
Where is the ring,
designer wallet and watch?
What a shameless jerk!
He didn't want to accept me, so why did he accept my gifts?
You realize that it's all thanks to me that you know our company so well?
You are in your current position thanks to whom?
Thanks to you, of course.
I know you have the capability,
but you need to understand that corporations differ from universities.
No matter your position,
if you want a career in business, then you have to abide by the politics.
Even if you know, you have to pretend you don't.
Even if you have it, pretend you don't. Even if you heard, pretend you didn't.
But for me, if I don't know something, then I have to find out.
If I don't have it, then I must obtain it.
If I didn't hear it, I'll keep asking, no matter how many times it takes.
That's my style.
I have a high ranking position at the company.
You better use formal speech with me at the company.
The marketing employees are going to suffer a little.
I'm Assistant Manager Song Ye Jin of the marketing department.
Oh, I see.
Oh, I see?
Aren't you going to introduce yourself?
I joined this company based on my previous experiences in this line of work.
I'm Assistant Manager Byun So Ra.
What?
Regardless of whether you're joining as an Assistant Manager or any other position,
you should still properly introduce yourself.
That way, we'll know what kind of person has joined our company.
That's right.
Miss Byun So Ra, only by you providing us
with a more detailed work history,
can we come to know what kind of person you are.
For example,
you graduated from S University and also worked as a professor there.
Include all these little things to introduce yourself.
Manager.
Oh my, it looks like I've already given the full introduction.
Anyway, why does a clever and accomplished person like you
want to join our company?
Having such an intelligent person join our workforce
creates a rather difficult situation for us.
It makes us feel we can't quite compare to you,
and we feel a little inferior.
Oh, right. I hear that when you wanted to join our company,
Assistant Manager Song was adamantly, adamantly,
adamantly against it.
Because from her perspective,
there's a huge gap between the two of you.
Manager, please...!
Isn't that true?
Take that empty spot over there.
You're not going to get working?
Get to work! Get to work!
Miss Byun So Ra, here's information for the online marketing meetings in America.
Translate it and then summarize it.
Pay particular attention to all complaints
from online customers during the past three months.
Shortly, we'll convene to discuss this topic in detail.
Conduct online research for information
on all the revenues and side effects of products sold domestically.
Then translate and organize everything. Got it?
Shouldn't these complaints have been dealt with immediately
and sent to the domestic products development department?
Well, then.
Are you insinuating that we haven't been properly doing our work all this time?
I'm merely stating a fact. No hard feelings intended.
An individualist...
In this world, there are conversational exchanges taking place every hour.
If the response time to customers' displeasure is delayed,
we won't be able to manage the customers.
You were hired as an Assistant Manager just because you have work experience.
Are you trying to lecture us when you've just arrived?
Just do as I ask.
That box over there contains our company's survey documents.
Read each one and then summarize them in one document.
Understand?
Yes.
You're telling me not to lecture?
You're talking to a person who constantly ponders how to be a better lecturer.
Telling me not to lecture? That's ridiculous!
Geez, this is so heavy.
It can't be...
The big jerk Yoon Jun Su?
Big brat, Byun So Ra?
It can't be.
Is he following me?
Byun So Ra.
It is you, isn't it?
Oh, Sunbae? Oh, my...
I can't believe I've run into you here.
Did you get a job here?
Weren't you studying abroad in the States?
Well, not being able to live as you please is a part of life.
But you still shouldn't give up on your dreams.
Seeing a sunbae succeed is what inspires the rest of us to strive towards our goals.
Let's both work hard.
Why don't you hear people out?
You just walk off after you speak your piece.
As soon as we start talking, it will turn into an argument.
In which case, we'll still be arguing when the day is over.
You've already reached a conclusion.
I'm speechless.
Hand that to me.
- It's not heavy. - I said hand it to me.
Hold it properly.
Once a wrinkle forms on paper, it's difficult to straighten it out again.
Sunbae, you may be my sunbae at school,
but I'm an Assistant Manager here at this company.
Head Manager.
Head Manager, the conference room is this way.
Yes, you guys go in first.
Are you the head manager at this company?
When did you find a job?
How did you get promoted so quickly?
Maybe it would be possible
if you were a business management major or the successor to this company...
It can't be.
You seemed so ordinary at university.
My father's health deteriorated suddenly.
I just returned from the States and started working. Today is my second day at work.
- Why didn't you mention this before? - You didn't ask.
- Wow, this really sucks. - What?!
It's only my first day at work as an Assistant Manager
and the Marketing Dept is already loading me up with busy work.
This big jerk of a sunbae from 10 years ago is the boss's son.
Why am I having such an unlucky day?
Big jerk? Unlucky?
I've only been working for 2 days, even so, I have the authority to manage personnel.
So that's how it is.
A company that has someone like you managing the workforce,
isn't a place I want to work at.
- Go on and fire me. - I'll seriously fire you.
Firing me would be the company's loss.
Where are you going to find a talent like me?
What? Are you bragging about yourself?
Don't you know? I never lie.
I'd like to see how you'd live up to those words.
Why I oughta just...
Good work.
It appears that Byun So Ra tried to frame her own advising professor.
He can be called an advising professor, but he's her God-like teacher.
She was kicked out of university for framing him.
She can no longer find a job within the academic world.
She's really a reckless person.
She argues any time I ask her something. It's driving me crazy, Director.
Byun So Ra, Team Leader Kang Chan Jin, and the head manager
are all from the same university, and members of the same clubs.
Did Byun So Ra get hired because of her connection to the head manager?
About that, it seems that way, but it also doesn't seem that way.
What kind of answer is that?
No. Byun So Ra got hired a day before the head manager started working here.
There's definitely something up with those two.
Continue to monitor them closely.
I can't allow the head manager to have more allies at the company.
Of course.
I will keep an eye on them.
Monitor closely...
Stop looking at it.
This is the sample product from the new product line. Have a look.
You deal with that.
Let me know if you need my help.
I'm still not up to speed with the work yet.
You have to work in order to get accustomed to it.
Oh, hey. I ran into Byun So Ra.
What is she doing here?
I thought she wanted to become a professor?
She says she wants to work here so she can put knowledge into practice.
But she was completely kicked out.
You know Professor Han Il Guk, right? Professor of the advertising department.
Yeah.
She exposed Professor Han Il Guk and was kicked out by the university.
You know So Ra's personality.
Even here, she's going to act like a smart aleck and run amok.
Will you be able to tolerate it?
But there's no arguing that she's smart.
That's true.
At school, her nickname was Smarty Byun.
The problem is she's too smart and gives everyone around her a headache.
I know a male version of So Ra.
- Do you know who he is? - Who is it?
Me?!
Did I go too far?
That, I can't accept.
You live near So Ra, right?
Just for free meals...
She's useful in a lot of ways, isn't she?
You're really something.
How can you mooch off her for ten years?
So Ra! It's me.
Give me food. I'm hungry!
Isn't this Byun So Ra's house?
Yes, please come in, even though it's not my home.
Oh... you're her roommate.
You've seen me before in passing.
You've seen me before too, in passing.
This is my first time seeing you up close.
Me too.
So Ra, your friend is here.
Why?
I didn't cook today. Go home.
What food?
Introduce me to this...
Goddess?
goddess, first.
Goddess? This stupid rock?
This is Wang Jin Ju.
This is Kang Chan Jin over here. Done?
I've been so busy lately,
I haven't had a chance to get to know you.
You're very handsome.
Although you're 1... only 3.3 percent lacking.
Oh, is that so?
You're the one who's pretty.
You're 1... 2... 3.3 percent over.
You must be joking!
Which part is pretty?
Hurry up and say why you're here and then leave.
Originally, I came for a free meal, but now I want to stay here for a while.
Let's have a bottle of beer.
Let's take advantage of this happy mood and have some beer.
Then I'll give you an update on the company.
Thank you. We really are of one mind.
Did you find a job?
Why didn't you tell me?
If you had told me earlier,
I would've taken you to a really awesome blind date party.
There are tons of great men for a career woman there.
Let's go, So Ra. Let's go have some beer.
I don't want to eat and I don't want to drink.
But, I'm parched with thirst.
Right? I'm parched with thirst too.
You two go then if you want to so badly.
Then, you butt out.
Hey, you're a really loyal friend.
Shall we go?
- Okay, let's go. - Bye.
You stated clearly that he's your friend.
So Ra, hurry and come out.
It got colder.
Hey, turn the heat all the way up.
All the way?
Didn't you say it's fine as long as no one freezes to death?
Just do what I tell you.
- You haven't eaten? - Of course not.
Then order something.
How did you two meet?
You seem to be completely different.
We're old classmates.
She's top of the class, counting backwards.
We're friends.
She was the outcast in the class.
Within this week, she's either going to find her own place and move out
or go back to her hometown.
- Right, Jin Ju? - That was the original plan.
But there are so many handsome men in Seoul,
and the future should be planned in the present.
Stop trying to seduce him.
So Ra, aren't you going too far with a friend?
Actually, it's because So Ra and I
- fell for the same person. - Hey!
That's enough.
Oh, the atmosphere...
Hyung, you didn't turn on the heat today?
Hey, hey. It will catch fire if I turn it up any higher.
Yes, Sunbae?
Yes.
- Stop it! - What?
So... Would you like a beer?
Do you have stronger alcohol?
Aren't you good at drinking?
I can drink a little.
She says she can drink a little.
All right, then I suggest some soju.
What did you say just now about me achieving half of something?
Oh, I said it would be great if you were half as diligent
about maintaining your appearance as you are in making a fuss about cleaning.
- Fuss? - Yes, a fuss.
After all, cleaning isn't exactly a matter of life or death.
What about you?
You think men are a matter of life or death?
Of course.
Men, men, men.
Don't you have any dreams?
My dream is a man,
a handsome man.
There really aren't any men at those blind dates.
But, for some reason, I felt that I was going to meet one today.
My friend, Kang Chan Jin.
You want to steal him away too, don't you?
Well...
He's not your man so it's not considered stealing.
The atmosphere is getting weird.
Should we intervene?
Let's just wait and see.
The atmosphere is quite serious.
That woman looks really good close up.
Pretty.
Punk.
You'll figure out what a woman's true beauty is...
when you reach my age.
I'm coming from the direction you told me.
Oh, Hyung! Over here.
Oh.
This place was hard to find.
Did you come from the hospital the chairman is at?
Yes.
They said he can be transferred to a regular patient room in a few days.
If you're tired, you should rest first.
Why did you come out to see me?
I wanted to talk about the olden days and just sleep over.
What? Do you have someone with you?
At home, no, but there's someone waiting in there.
- A woman? - To be precise, it's women.
Let's go.
Byun So Ra, you drank all this soju in such a short period of time?
I drank a little too.
Hello.
I'm So Ra's friend, Wang Jin Ju.
Hello, my name is Yoon Jun Su.
Wow, so handsome.
You have a very unique look.
Do I look strange?
- No. - Here she goes again.
I don't know why, but you seem to shimmer.
You really sparkle.
Wow, you have such good taste.
This is our company's soon-to-be-successor.
What?
Oh, I see.
You're very elegant.
What goes around comes around.
Your name is Jin Ju, right?
You're very beautiful.
- But... - Is beauty enough?
I'm asking if beauty is enough?
Why are you behaving so oddly?
Hey, So Ra.
Did something happen?
So Ra and I dated the same man.
We've broken up now,
but unwittingly,
we dated the same man.
The two of us... His name is Lee Dong Wu.
Please don't ask anymore. It's so unpleasant.
I said stop mentioning it.
Do you not understand human speech?
Aigoo, not bad.
Then, I will too...
Miss, are you all right?
What game is she playing? This little brat...
Pull yourself together and walk straight!
Why did you drink so much?
That's right. At times like this, I should imitate Jin Ju and pretend to pass out.
Sunbae!
Sunbae. Sunbae.
Hey.
So Ra wouldn't get drunk from that little bit of alcohol.
You see?
I can never do anything right.
Hey, Byun So Ra.
Get off me, Byun So Ra.
So warm.
So cold.
My stomach hurts.
Maybe I drank too much yesterday.
She should've cooked beef stew. Why does she just boil washcloths every day?
She's exactly like an army general.
It would be great if she channels this into understanding men.
Where is it?
- Where did I put it? - Assistant Manager Byun So Ra.
I asked you to print out the data and place it in the conference room.
Why are you dawdling?
Oh, right.
It's all right. It's empty.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's okay. Continue working.
Wang Jin Ju, get over here right now.
Are you wasting time applying makeup or what are you doing?
Where are you?
You're complaining when you asked a favor
and you're ruining the mood of the person doing the favor.
How long has it been?!
How long has it been and you're still not here?
I'm here at the front entrance.
You see? What would you do without me?
Did you bring the right one?
The connected USB on the desktop?
Stop talking. It's annoying.
Hey, I have a call coming in.
Go directly to the Marketing Department.
Hurry up, okay?
Yes, Assistant Manager Song?
Assistant Manager Byun, is this how you work? Where are you now?!
I'm coming right now.
You can't wear sandals.
Change into leather shoes.
Assistant Manager Song,
the main model hasn't come and she's not answering her phone.
Is she coming or not?
No, it's not like that...
Assistant Manager Byun, how will you resolve this?
It's not Assistant Manager Byun's responsibility to contact the models.
Oh...
Honestly, you can't get a single task right.
- Coming right up! - Coming right up?
She's not going to the Seoul Collection, she's coming directly here?
She's here.
Wow. This model is great.
Assistant Manager Byun,
you're quite capable.
Huh?
You're a model, aren't you?
Of course I'm a model.
She's a model.
She's the main model.
Now hurry up and prepare.
I have to report to the higher ups.
The model is here.
Brat, you want to get me a job so you can toss me out?
In any case, your mind is sharp, Byun So Ra.
That's not how it was.
We've worked our hardest to prepare next season's focal colors.
He's so good-looking. What a pity.
I should have learned more English.
Could you please tell me where I should submit an employment application?
You speak Korean very well.
But unfortunately, I'm not an employee here.
Employment application?
I'm sorry.
You're so pretty, I thought you were applying for the secretary position.
Secretary?
Are they hiring a secretary?
Then, let's go look around together.
Everyone worked hard today.
Let's go eat together.
Hey, hey.
I'll treat everyone to meat today.
- Hurry and get up. - Let's have beef today.
Are you planning to work overtime?
That's perfect. I'll leave this to you as well.
This...
Those are the photos and data from today's makeup testing.
Neatly organize it and put it on my desk by tomorrow morning.
Thank you.
Wait for me!
Wang Jin Ju looks really pretty all made up.
She has the assets to beguile men.
Lee Dong Wu, this tear isn't shed over you.
Jin Ju was right. I'm a liar.
I really don't want to remember
the sentence I've kept buried in my heart.
I don't want to sleep with you!
Lee Dong Wu?
So Ra.
Don't even dream of apologizing and being forgiven.
You cut my heart into pieces
and wrecked my soul.
I absolutely won't return to your side again.
So Ra.
Please...
call Jin Ju out for me.
So Ra was helping me with my thesis.
No, actually, she wrote everything.
You know how capable she is.
That's why I had to be with her every day, in order to get my doctorate degree.
I've been working on getting my doctorate degree for 5 years already.
Trust me, So Ra is only a friend.
A friend, a friend...
No, I should say she's a teacher.
Once my thesis is approved and I receive my degree,
I want to marry you immediately.
You believe me, right?
This...
is a couples ring.
Could you give me that one too?
Why?
I'm going to wear it with So Ra.
What?
Boss, I especially like that type of woman.
She's my style, my style.
You don't want to know what we talked about?
Don't tell me.
I don't care in the least.
Fine. It would do you no good to know.
Have you seen my nightgown?
A ring? Are they getting married?
Why would I know where your nightgown is?
Why are you getting mad?
So Ra, you know...
I might do something you really won't like.
Congratulations. I wish you the best.
What? She already knows?
I was wondering why you weren't at home earlier this morning.
What are you doing here?
You congratulated me, so I thought you knew already?
I think I'm going to become a secretary here.
I passed the first round and today is the interview.
My company?
- Does Lee Dong Wu know too? - What about Lee Dong Wu?
I can't stand guys like that,
who only know how to cheat on and use women.
Then what about this ring?
Ah. This ring is pretty so I snatched it.
I'm giving it as a token of reconciliation, after receiving it as a farewell gift.
I'm not the slightest bit sad about him. I'm over it.
You should see Lee Dong Wu too and release all your pent-up frustrations.
You should exact revenge and humiliate him.
- What? Revenge? - Yes.
That's the best way to overcome the breakup.
I'm not playing out such a troublesome revenge plan.
Fine, then let's go with a simple revenge.
A revenge compensation as practical as this ring or...
Let's humiliate him in front of a lot of people.
It's so pretty, Byun So Ra.
Let's sell it and buy good food to eat.
Miss Wang Jin Ju.
You have abundant work experience.
Why did you give up modeling?
Before I'm forced to accept commercials for
urinary incontinence or dental protection, (ads geared towards the elderly)
I thought it would be best to find a stable job quickly.
Urinary incontinence?
Head Manager, did you come here because of me?
You majored in dance.
What do you think your strong points are?
I have superior perceptive skills and can adapt to all types of situations.
My dance and stage experience enabled me to hone my reflexes.
I can melt hard metal with my friendliness.
Also,
also...
beauty.
So Ra.
Close your eyes.
Smile.
Why are we looking at lingerie?
If you change what's inside, the exterior will transform too.
How can you change what's inside?
Are you finished changing?
But Jin Ju, I think the dress is too short.
Hold this.
Am I pretty?
Really pretty, Byun So Ra.
You should have dressed up like this all along.
When I meet the woman I love,
I want to cherish her all my life.
I only want to look upon one woman.
My dream is to live as a fool who only has eyes for his wife.
Excuse me, I just need five minutes.
She's just a classmate.
- Say hello, this is... - I'm an ex-girlfriend...
who caught him cheating.
You're taking this joke too far.
She's always making mischief.
Do you really want me to make some mischief?
Oh, the stench. What are you going to do?
Yeah!
What was that?
He's not going to die or turn into something odd, is he?
It's absolutely not harmful to humans.
But, it may take about ten days to get rid of the smell.
He deserves it!
Hey, you're even better at revenge than I.
You must be coming back from somewhere.
Jin Ju, congratulations on being hired as a secretary.
Thank you, Head Manager.
Did you come here expressly to say that?
I just knew you chose me, Head Manager.
Thank you.
Me?
Yes, Head Manager.
I'll go in first.
Jin Ju, I apologize, but you'll have to eat alone tonight.
I have something to say to So Ra.
See you at the company then.
Sure...
Oh, taxi. Taxi!
- Follow the white car that just left. - Okay.
Hurry and get to the point.
Special privileges. Don't even think about bidding high.
- Special privileges? - Don't you have special privileges?
A dose of natural preservatives.
Our company needs some of that.
- I'm not selling. - Then you should resign.
Do you think I'd resign?
Do you want to bet?
Why is it suddenly raining?
I was planning to take you to a nice place,
- but you don't want to. - Are we out on a date?
We're going to talk about work. There's no need to travel back and forth.
Special privileges really are great.
But, I'm not particularly fond of guys who do this stuff just to win women over.
You only feel that way because you're not used to this treatment.
- That's not a good thing. - Are you here to negotiate or fight?!
The destined couple has arrived.
Welcome. I've been waiting for you.
What? They drove just to come here?
What would you like to order?
Did Jun Sang go somewhere?
Over there.
Fighting is good.
A few punches here and there help vent anger.
It's unhealthy to keep it bottled up inside.
There should be a conclusion by tonight.
There's fresh seafood.
You haven't eaten yet, have you? Shall I make you spaghetti?
We won't be talking long. Just tea is fine.
We won't talk long,
but we'll be talking about issues from long ago.
Make us spaghetti, with tomato sauce please.
Okay.
We can discuss your special privileges at the company.
I came to see you specifically because...
I wanted to talk about what happened that time.
I don't particularly want to talk about that incident.
I have to say it.
Every time I see you, I feel like I'm trying to hold in a sneeze.
Every time I see you, I feel uncomfortable.
Every time we talk, I feel like there's a tickle in my throat.
I don't want to hold it in anymore.
I want to resolve this longstanding misunderstanding between us.
What? What are they saying?
An old misunderstanding?
To you, it was merely a misunderstanding.
Old kimchi tastes better.
What I want to say is,
regardless of whether it's a misunderstanding or an explanation,
- I don't want to hear it. - You're not at all curious?
I was a little curious at that time.
No, not a little, a lot.
But now, I'm not the least bit curious.
What's the point of rehashing the past?
If this isn't about work, I'm going to leave.
The special privileges you have needs to be developed more.
Let's talk about work at the company.
What?
The atmosphere is...
What's going on with them?
What?
You say you're not the least bit curious about why I acted that way.
But every time I see you, you look at me like I'm a bastard.
And you expect me to hold it in?
I'm holding it in too.
I want to beat you up and quit my job at your company.
Let go!
Here, Sunbae, dry yourself off too.
I don't want to sleep with you!
Hey, Wang Jin Ju, are you exfoliating?
Today is my first day at work so I have to look good.
Ouch! Is the company a playground?
Seo Ju Kyung's high salary is a problem too.
Is Seo Ju Kyung the only celebrity in Korea?
I'm talking about Seo Ju Kyung. Seo Ju Kyung.
Yeon Yi!
You just need to stamp the seal on a paper.
Wang Jin Ju.
