Baby Faced Beauty
Episode 8
Oh, my heart.
Oh, my heart...
I'm so sorry about everything.
You're really gutsy.
My heart's pounding just from those few minutes in there.
Is that what you go through every day?
Do you want to become a designer that badly?
I feel so sorry for you.
I'm off.
Okay.
So you're not a janitor, you're a designer
at my brother's company, right?
And I don't know the details,
but Lee Sojin, whom everyone thought was a gold digger, is your sister
and that you got the job as your sister, who's nine years younger.
So, to sum up, you're the gold digger, Lee Sojin.
that I've been trying to catch, right?
Oh, it's so confusing.
I'm sorry, Juhui.
I know this is all my fault.
I also know your brother's the CEO
and that it's not reasonable of me to ask you to keep your lips sealed,
but I have to ask you nonetheless.
It won't take long.
Please give me until I finish my piece.
Once I see my jacket on display and people wearing it,
I'll come clean and apologize.
I beg you, Juhui.
Please bear with me until then.
What do you think?
This is really hot these days.
Soyeong must have been an exceptional employee
to have chosen the model employee when she was only there for a year.
A year? No. She was with us for 14 years.
Soyeong was so diligent.
She never missed a day of work, or was late, or left early during her 14 years here.
14 years. So how old is Soyeong?
34. She was born in 1978, the Year of the Horse.
You have a knack for surprising people.
Pardon?
You never got proper schooling in design,
yet you're capable of something like this.
Oh...
How long have you studied design?
Not long.
You also seem to have an eye for fabrics.
You must have learned a lot at the textile company.
You're as good as someone with ten years of experience.
You have a lot of potential.
Keep up the good work.
I will.
Where are you?
I was at the store. I'm on my way back.
Is something wrong?
I'll be waiting. We can talk in person.
Okay.
How are things going?
Well, thank you.
Why wouldn't things be well, right?
You have a managing director who's more than committed.
Pardon?
He was out showing your sample to store owners
and taking surveys on the streets.
He's working so hard. He's nuts.
What's going on between you two?
What are you doing?
Hi.
I was a bit confused myself, so I did a bad job of explaining things.
In any case, I'm very sorry.
I must have been crazy that day.
I deeply regret the mental and physical trauma
I inflicted upon you the other night.
Here.
I got it for you.
Your cellphone's not working.
I'm fine. I can get it fixed.
Once a cellphone breaks, it keeps giving you trouble.
Here.
I'm fine.
I'm giving it to you because I feel bad.
I honestly think I was the one who broke your phone.
You got water on it when you were helping me wash my hair.
Just take it, will you?
I should go.
Why won't you just do as I say?
We work together.
Don't you know what a pain it is when you don't pick up?
Just think about how annoyed I must've been to get this.
Geez.
Darn it.
What are you doing?
- Come and get me. - Good grief.
Stop right there!
Thank you.
You really didn't have to.
Let's see if it works well.
Huh? I haven't dialed your number yet.
What is it?
- Hi, Hyeon. - Ms. Lee.
How did you get my number?
Your name was in my dad's cellphone.
Kids these days...
Jessica's going to a party today.
You need to come and pick out a dress for her.
You're her maidservant.
Couldn't you ask Ms. Kang to pick out a dress for Jessica?
What?
She knows more about pretty dresses than me.
And I can't go to your place anymore.
Why not?
Huh? Well...
Is it because of that boring lady who likes to show off?
No, no, no.
Your dad and Ms. Kang are good friends.
They are? Will they get married?
I don't know about that.
Never mind!
Hello? Hello?
Good job, Lee Sojin.
That little girl won't do you any good.
People will only spread more rumors about you.
Just do as you've just done, okay?
Seungil.
Have you been waiting here the whole time?
So what is it?
Now that you're here,
I don't even know where to start.
Why? Is it something bad?
Not necessarily.
Don't be shocked.
I mean, I was really shocked...
Sorry. Hang on.
Yes?
Pardon? Hyeon?
Hyeon!
Have you seen this girl?
- No. - Are you sure?
What do you think?
Don't you think it's a bit too small?
What is it?
Hey!
[Ji Seungil]
Why is Mr. Ji calling you?
Hello?
- Did Hyeon call you? - Pardon?
Hey! Are you sure Hyeon's here?
She told me she wanted to go to Kids' World.
- Your shoes! - Oh, right.
Can you get them? Sorry.
Darn it.
Hyeon! Hyeon!
Hyeon!
- Hyeon! - Hyeon!
I'm an employee at The Style who was there the other day.
I need to ask you to check something.
Can you see if Jessica is in Hyeon's room?
Hey...
You go on home.
I'll call you when we find Hyeon.
Why are you telling me to leave while you're headed to Mr. Ji's?
Are you planning to put me in an awkward position like the last time?
Don't follow me.
- And don't call, either. - Fine!
Don't you dare call me.
Darn it.
Why do you keep repeating yourself?
You never listen.
Okay, fine. I won't follow you, no matter what.
I won't call you, either. Satisfied?
I'm off.
Your shoes!
Darn it.
- Jessica's in here, right? - Yes.
Hyeon. Are you in here, Hyeon?
Goodness me.
Are you here?
Where is she?
Where can she be?
Where's Hyeon?
Ms. Lee.
I keep inconveniencing you because of Hyeon.
Thank you so much for today.
Don't mention it.
This whole thing happened because of me.
She called me earlier and asked me to come over, but I said I couldn't.
So don't scold her. It was my fault.
It wasn't your fault.
Hyeon had a hard time when I divorced her mother.
She's gotten irritable.
She's becoming more like me.
She only comes by three days a week,
but I still can't give her the attention she needs.
I get an F as a father.
Say, I know this is probably rude...
but couldn't you spend time with Hyeon?
Pardon?
Only when you have the time.
I'm asking you not as your boss, but as Hyeon's father.
I... Um, well...
- Ms. Kang. - When did you get here?
You're here, Ms. Lee.
I should get going.
All right. You must be tired.
Did you come in those?
I was rather flustered when I was at Kids' World...
Did you lose your shoes because of Hyeon?
I should go.
How can you get home in those?
Wait. I'll drive you.
No. I can go by myself.
Good night.
- Oh! - Hey!
Why did you...
I told you not to follow me.
Why won't you ever listen?
What is it?
Is that why you've been waiting for me?
You could've given them to me tomorrow,
or you could've called.
You told me not to call
or come to Mr. Ji's house.
I'm sorry.
I was in a panic earlier.
Thanks.
Wow.
It feels great to be in my boots again.
Oh...
I never thanked you properly.
What would I have done without this today?
Thank you so much.
It's not free.
I only gave it to you so you'd answer my calls.
If you ever don't pick up...
Fine.
I'll have it in my hand even when I go to sleep, okay?
Are you happy now?
You must be tired, too. You should go.
Thank you for all your help today.
Seungil...
I know you had a rough day because of Hyeon.
But shouldn't you have been more careful about what you said to Ms. Lee?
You want her to spend time with Hyeon?
Then Ms. Lee will be coming here often...
...and people will start talking.
Ms. Lee is just a temp.
And she has a rather rocky track record.
I know you didn't mean anything...
That's enough.
I'll handle it.
Seungil.
Do you trust Ms. Lee?
You see, Ms. Lee is...
Dad!
Oh, Hyeon.
Aren't you sleepy?
You must have had a bad dream.
She's broken out in a cold sweat.
I'll tuck you in.
- Hang on. - Sure.
Hyeon!
You were here.
- Hyeon's been found, right? - Yeah.
Oh, I was so nervous.
Are they in her room?
- Seungil's tucking her in. - Oh.
I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see Hyeon.
So where was she?
Under her bed.
My goodness.
Who found her? Seungil?
I know this isn't a good time,
but since you're here, let me ask you.
Why did you cover for Ms. Lee Sojin?
Me? What did I do?
Ms. Lee's your friend.
She's the Lee Soyeong you mentioned a while ago.
So you knew...
I'm sorry I lied to you.
But couldn't you let this one go?
She's a very nice person.
She's not the lying type.
Just imagine how desperate she must've been.
Just let this one slide, okay?
She may just be a temp, but she's on my team.
As the head of the team, I can't turn a blind eye.
If this becomes known through someone else,
it could tarnish the company's reputation.
You're exaggerating.
She's not important enough.
Plus, she said she'd quit as soon as
her piece is released.
So just look the other way until then, okay?
Seungil would get mad if he found out.
I don't want to keep anything from him.
I'll handle Seungil.
My brother may look cold, but he's actually quite tenderhearted.
He'd understand if I tell him why she had to lie.
Please just turn a blind eye until her piece is released.
If she doesn't resign after that, I'll get her to.
- But Juhui... - You're here, Juhui.
Hi, Seungil! Is Hyeon sleeping?
Yeah. Hold on.
If you don't do as I say,
I won't ever talk to you again.
- You must have worried, too. - Of course.
What were you going to tell me? It was something about Ms. Lee.
Oh. Well...
We should get her a present or something.
I'm so thankful to her for today.
And she's been so sweet to Hyeon.
That's actually a good idea.
Why don't you think about what she might like.
All right.
Ta-da!
The final sample's out already?
Look! There's a label on it.
Does it make you that happy?
Of course. This is my first piece.
Are they making my jacket at the factory right now?
Of course.
I can't believe my creation will be sold in stores.
Can you imagine someone paying money to wear my piece?
It's been my lifelong dream.
I never thought the day would come.
What a silly dream.
Okay. Let me find out the exact date
and time of your jacket's release.
Okay.
Hello? This is Choi Jinuk.
When will SJL11057 be ready?
Pardon?
- What did you say? - What's wrong?
What do you mean the didn't get the order form?
How can this be?
But I swear I sent it.
So did the order form vanish into thin air?
But everything else got there fine.
How can just the order form for the jacket be missing?
I swear I sent seven forms for design team one.
We could send 70 or even 700 orders to our previous supplier Myeongsin
and nothing would ever get lost.
But Ilseong not only used the wrong thread last time,
now they simply lost an order.
This is clearly the supplier's fault.
The missing form is not the supplier's fault.
It's headquarters' fault.
This isn't just the fault of the production team, the supplier, and the managing director;
we were all at fault.
And regardless of what actually happened,
it's the designer who must ultimately be held accountable for her creation.
This means not only Ms. Lee Sojin,
but also Ms. Kang Yunseo, the head of design team one.
In any case, we should forgo the jacket this time around.
The production lines are all working at full capacity.
And we don't have enough time to find another supplier.
No one will wear such a jacket in the middle of the summer.
It's settled, then.
Please give me three days.
I'll find another supplier.
Choi Jinuk...
I'll make sure everything's done and ready in three days.
That makes no sense. It's just not feasible.
Three days.
Even if it's a day late,
we're taking Ms. Lee's piece out of the lineup.
Thank you.
Lee Sojin!
Why are you so down?
You'll be making many more pieces anyway.
I'm sorry, Ms. Baek.
You must be upset.
You've been so thoughtful. I'm both thankful and sorry.
I don't know what to say.
In any case, I'm very sorry.
What do you have to be sorry about?
I'm the one who's sorry.
Pardon?
Go on.
What brings you here?
We shouldn't hurt the kids
over our differences.
I'm just a technician and I'm not as well educated as you,
so I don't know how to be tactful.
But, I believe this was your doing.
Pardon?
Let's just leave it at that.
I hope nothing like this ever happens again.
Yeah. I'm being punished for telling lies.
How can I go so far as to lie about my age to realize my dream?
What? You're giving up?
Are you serious?
How can you say that?
So was this all you amounted to?
I'm sorry.
I owe you the biggest apology.
I've been a nuisance to you, General Manager Baek, and Mr. Ji.
I think it's selfish to hurt others for the sake of my own dream.
If I give up, things will get so much easier for everyone.
You're really selfish, aren't you?
You're saying you want to quit
to have your own peace of mind.
It's not that. You don't know the whole story.
I really should let you know...
I can't tell you now,
but there are many reasons why I am sorry to you.
In any case, let's give up on that jacket.
I'm sorry.
You made the piece. How can you be so irresponsible?
Don't you feel guilty toward me? No, toward your first baby?
[Go to the Ilseong factory.]
[Even if the production lines are full, you can beg and plead.]
[I'll go and see how things are at Myeongsin.]
Couldn't you help us?
I'm thankful for the work, but it's just not feasible.
Why not? I know you're more than capable.
After your company pulled out, all the talented tailors left.
Associate Manager Hong might be able to make it happen,
but the people I have now can't handle it.
Wow! How can you be selling these for $7 a piece?
The fabric's high quality and the elastic bands are strong.
You won't even make back the production cost.
You have an eye for clothes.
How are you, Mr. Hong?
Who...
I'm here to ask you for a favor.
I'm Choi Jinuk, a managing director at The Style.
Just go. I'm not doing any more sewing.
Sir. You know our clothes better than anyone else.
I refuse to work for a company that betrays its partner firms.
This is a personal favor.
We need a jacket in two days,
and you're the only one who can make it happen.
You're the best there is.
Can't you see I have a business to run here?
I haven't even made my first sale of the day yet.
Good grief.
If I sell all the clothes here in two hours,
will you help me?
What?
Are you proposing to do what
I haven't been able to do in two days?
You haven't eaten yet, have you?
Go and enjoy your lunch.
This is what you've been waiting for!
Wow! Take a look at these clothes!
I'm offering clothes of the highest quality at the lowest prices!
This is the cute little mini worn by top star Kim Taehee.
And this here is a sleeveless blouse Jun Jihyun wore.
Wow! You look just like Kim Taehee.
If you put this one on and wait on your bed,
your husband will give you a night to remember.
- $4? - Hang on.
The chance of a lifetime is here!
One, two, three...
- I got $1 off. - It's called a discount.
You're something else.
Is this how far you'll go to make a good impression at your work?
It's not that.
I have a friend who just started designing.
I don't want to disappoint her.
Her dream is to see her creation hanging at stores.
I want to help her make that dream come true.
Please help us.
I'm so sorry, but we can't help you.
We just can't do it.
Even if you gave us a week, we still couldn't do it.
Thank you.
Hi. Please have some coffee.
Thank you for your hard work.
[How are things at the factory?]
[When are you coming home?]
[You go on home first.]
Unbelievable.
- Come here for a second, newbie. - Yes, sir.
Keep your chin up.
Your guardian angel is hard at work.
What managing director but yours would operate the machines himself
just to save a single piece?
He found a factory?
I should work with Jinuk next time.
Close the door behind you!
How may I help you?
Hello. I'm here looking for Choi Jinuk.
Here, sir.
- Are you the one? - Pardon?
Are you the one who's turned this place upside down?
I'm sorry.
Think before you dream from now on.
It's mayhem here just to help a young lady realize her dream.
What are you doing here?
You haven't had breakfast, have you?
Here.
It's all for you.
Wow. I'm honored.
- Lee Sojin. - Yeah?
- Hey, Lee Sojin. - Stop it.
Thanks.
For what?
You know...
It's me who should thank you.
In truth, I was in shock when I was first assigned to a fashion company.
It wasn't my first or second choice.
Why did I have to get sent to a fashion company?
So I decided I would stick it out for a while
and then go abroad to study.
But I was ashamed seeing how hard you were working to design your piece.
I wasn't ashamed because I couldn't make clothes.
I was ashamed because I didn't have a dream.
Working with you has given me a dream, too.
I want to help make good clothes and be praised for it.
Thanks, Sojin.
Why can't you do anything right?
Associate Manager Hong stepped in...
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Are you sure you disposed of the order form properly?
Are you sure it won't surface?
It has been disposed of
and the factory employee will keep his lips sealed.
- Get out of here. - Yes, ma'am.
We can just tell after a day or two.
That vest will be a huge hit.
A cropped-sleeved jacket will be coming in a few days.
We've heard.
It's one of our main pieces,
so please display it next to the vest.
Yes, sir.
Lee Sojin's jacket will be displayed next to my vest?
Hey.
You said I look better in something more colorful.
You weren't picking out something for me?
You should pick a pair, too.
How about these?
- Would they be for Ms. Lee? - Yes.
Oh, right. We did talk about getting Ms. Lee a present.
That's a good idea. Shoes would be great.
I'll pay for them.
- You? - Yeah.
Let's see.
What would look good on her?
How about these?
Did you want to see me?
Here. I got you a pair of shoes.
You lost your shoes while looking for our Hyeon.
Oh, I managed to find my shoes that very day.
Take these anyway.
If it hadn't been for you, we would've been
looking for our Hyeon all night long.
I didn't do much.
Take them. I hate feeling indebted.
You know about the workshop tomorrow, right?
The company is giving everyone running jackets.
Go and check with the administrative office.
Yes, Ms. Kang.
I'll just accept your kind thoughts.
Sorry.
She'll quit once her piece is released?
Just like that?
[Ms. Kang]
Hello?
This is Kang Yunseo.
I'll give you a very useful piece of information.
We're having a workshop tomorrow.
Mr. Ji will be going, too.
The jackets are here.
Are these for the workshop?
- Everybody take one. - Yellow for me.
- I'm going for pink. - Thanks.
This one's pretty, too.
Let's see. Blue for me.
Why do we have to do this every year?
This is cute.
What are we going to do about the talent show?
Oh, right.
Team two's newest member will be doing Tae Bo.
And team three's newest member will be doing magic.
What are we going to do?
What's there to worry about? We have our newbie, too.
Pardon?
You're a certified belly dancer, right?
That's right! It was on your resume.
- Put on a good show. - Yes, sir.
Go, girl!
Oh, no.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four...
This isn't it, huh?
I'm doing better though, aren't I?
I would yell at you if you weren't trying so hard.
It's hard.
It looks fine to me. Am I wrong?
[Hey, Soyeong! I just got on the train]
[I'll be back for the holidays, Take care - Uncle Yongjun]
Uncle Yongjun left?
A live music cafe opened up near his place.
He's been wanting to sing, so things worked out.
I'm very full.
I don't want any donuts.
Hyeon, did you go through my wallet again?
Good grief!
- You're also dumber than a chimp. - Huh?
How did you become a professor when you're so dumb?
That Seungil. He had to tell a young child about my being dumb.
My aunt has an IQ of 78.
Come on. I'm not that bad.
It's written right here. Your IQ is 78.
Where? Where?
Here. 78.
My goodness. That's the year I was born in.
And this is the month and the day.
78 means I was born in 1978.
That makes me 34. That's what this number is.
Silly girl.
[2011 Workshop]
We're here!
Hey, newbie. Get the cooler and the rest of our stuff.
- Got it? - Yes, sir.
Get out of the way.
Korean fashion brands
are pursuing both specialization and diversity.
With the introduction of the five-day workweek,
consumers are experiencing lifestyle changes,
which reflect on their purchasing patterns.
To take advantage of these changes,
the development of seasonal products and set products
are making inroads into everyday life.
The success stories are those in which
products customized for consumer needs were launched in a timely manner.
The expansion of the outdoor clothing market
will put us in conflict with existing casual brands.
It will be a very scary conflict.
The Style talent show!
- A piece of wood! - A piece of wood!
- Iron! - Iron!
Next up,
we have Ms. Lee Sojin from design team one.
Don't be surprised. Ms. Lee is a certified belly dancer.
We introduce you to the authentic world of belly dancing. Lee Sojin!
Music.
She must be nervous. A round of applause, please.
Music!
What is that? Is she doing the hula dance?
Give me a break.
[Please get ready now]
[General Manager Park Manchun]
Hi.
Let's go.
I don't care much for things like this.
You don't have to stay long.
Just stay for a little while.
It will help boost employee morale.
Please? Do it for me, okay?
Let's go.
That's it.
Everyone's a professional singer.
Next up is our newbie.
We can skip her.
Do you really want to hear her sing?
Let's give her a chance to make up for the belly dancing disaster.
- Newbie, sing! - Okay.
Mr. Ji!
Please. Sit down.
Here, sir.
Thank you.
Okay, then. Newbie!
This is so out of the way.
Hey, Jinuk! Ham hocks!
Hello.
This is so far.
Why are you here?
One, two, three, four. I'm off.
Have fun.
Who was that? Why'd he come all this way?
Wow. What a coincidence. We did military service together.
Please come and have some.
Ham hocks?
When did you organize this?
Please come and have some.
This looks good.
It was you.
You told mom about the workshop, didn't you?
- I like soju with ham hocks. - I like beer.
Huh?
Did you order drinks, too?
I'm looking for Ms. Lee Soyeong of design team one.
Ms. Lee Soyeong, please come and sign for this.
Who is it from?
Huh? It says here, General Manager Park Manchun of Seil Textiles.
There's no Lee Soyeong on our team.
Maybe they got Lee Sojin confused with Lee Soyeong.
Isn't there a phone number? You should try calling.
Of course.
Here it is.
Who can it be?
Someone's phone is ringing. Whose is it?
