[Episode 2]
Oh my!
Barefoot!
Sneakers?
Why didn't you get your phone?
Oh, that was you?
I saw an unfamiliar number,
and I assumed it was just another girl chasing after me.
Forget it...
What were you going to say?
I'm in love with myself?
I'm full of myself?
I'm so cocky? I'm a lunatic?
All of the above.
As I thought, you're an honest woman.
I like you.
I'll get the sneakers from you some other time.
I'm busy, so if you'll excuse me...
What kind of ridiculous guy is that?
When I was struggling in New York,
I used to think about you.
I missed you.
Gun-woo.
How did you know I was here?
Cha Gun-woo is here to meet with someone.
We saw each other, but he couldn't recognize me.
I'm so disappointed.
So I approached him first.
Really?
Yea.
I was here to meet with a colleague,
but then Kang Se-na called out to me.
So the two of you are getting married?
Congratulations.
You look great together.
People mistake us for siblings.
I guess it's a good thing if we resemble each other.
Now that you mention it, I can see the resemblance.
But Song-ah, do you remember?
Remember what?
Cha Gun-woo used to like me and follow me around.
What's with your expressions?
I was trying to make you laugh,
so there's no need to take it so seriously.
Now I feel uncomfortable.
It's all in the past.
Am I right, Cha Gun-woo?
Am I right, Jin Song-ah?
Yea.
Like you said, it's all in the past.
I sincerely congratulate you both.
You really look good together.
I envy you, Jin Song-ah.
Thanks.
Are you tired?
No, I'm okay.
If you want to, you can spend the night here.
Sleep in your room with you and Hyun-ah like we used to do?
Who cares?
I welcome the chance to have a sleepover with you.
Thanks but I'll pass.
I shouldn't stay at your house since I just arrived in Korea.
Do you have a place to go?
You're worried that I have no place to go?
I'm going to stay with my Aunt.
Yea. That's good.
If you were heading to a hotel, I wasn't going to let you go.
I feel better now because you're with your family.
I had fun today.
So did I!
I'm glad to see you again, Se-na.
Your boyfriend's going to get jealous.
Gun-woo, are you?
Of course not.
That's what I thought.
My man is the most understanding man in the world.
I'm about to get jealous now.
Why don't you be affectionate with each other in private?
I'm sorry.
You should go inside now.
Make sure that you take Se-na home safely.
Drive carefully.
Should we talk?
I'm home.
Yea, you're late.
Mom, I met with Se-na today.
Se-na...?
Kang Se-na?
How did you meet with Se-na?
She called me.
I couldn't believe it until we finally met.
What did Se-na say to you?
We were just catching up.
How was life for her?
She was in America.
I was the first person she contacted when she arrived here.
Did she mention anything else?
I told her that I'm getting married with Gun-woo soon,
and she congratulated me.
Song-ah.
I never gave you permission to marry Attorney Cha.
Mom.
Please give us your blessing now.
Can't you stop being so stubborn?
Instead of rejecting him like that,
couldn't you meet with him once?
I know enough about Attorney Cha, as much as you know about him.
No.
You don't know him as a person at all.
He didn't grow up with much,
but he's a sincere man.
He loves me a lot.
Do you know the problems of blind love?
It's easy to get confused and to make misjudgments.
Mom!
It's a parent's job to protect and give advice to their children!
Are you sure it's not that you don't have a problem with his background?
His background doesn't help, either.
Marriage should be between people with similar backgrounds,
if you don't want problems.
How can you appear out of nowhere and tell me that you missed me?
Because it's true.
That's how I feel.
Do you have any idea how much I've searched for you?
I'm sorry, Gun-woo.
I wanted to call you, but I couldn't.
After my mom died, I was too busy trying to survive.
When I was working part-time,
I'd remember you each time I was forced to eat left-over steak to fill myself.
Because of you, I was able to endure it.
Gun-woo.
I'm going to marry Song-ah soon.
Jin Song-ah's a good woman.
Since you're her friend,
I'll expect you to wish us happiness.
It was nice to see you again.
Look at that... how amazing.
Here it is.
Wait, did you juice this yourself?
Why wouldn't I?
I wouldn't risk making the juice other than how you like it.
Last time you took store-bought juice and told me that you squeezed it for me!
That was only one time...
And you're proud that you lied to your husband?
I never said I was proud of it.
I won't do it again.
Get out of the way!
I can't see the tigers.
How can you watch those tigers day after day?
I can't even stand the stripes anymore!
I'm home.
Why are you so late? Don't you know what time it is?
Please stop being so demanding!
You should be happy that I've come home!
Why are you so late when we have a breakfast meeting tomorrow?
We have a breakfast meeting?
Why don't you know about it when Kang-min knows about it?
Bro, show more interest in the company.
You need to do more than just stamping your time-card.
Leave him alone.
Each person leads a different life.
Bro, want to have a beer together?
Yea, that sounds good.
You're home?
Yes, I'm back.
You're still awake?
Yea, I'm going to sleep now.
Good work today. Get some rest.
I heard that you're seeing someone.
Are you going to marry her?
Yes.
Can I assume that you'll be moving out when you get married?
Yes, Madam.
Get some rest then.
You're here, Bro?
Want to have a drink with us?
No, I'm tired.
[My love, Song-ah]
Yea. You're not asleep yet?
I'm lying down, but I can't fall asleep.
Gun-woo, did you get home safely?
I just got home.
Did you drop Se-na off safely?
Oh, we parted ways in front of your house.
She insisted on going alone.
Still, you should've dropped her off.
But Gun-woo, were you glad to see Se-na again?
Since it's been a while.
Probably not as much as you, though.
I was worried that you'd be happy to see her,
and that I might end up being childish and jealous.
It did worry me a little bit.
Stop being silly and go to sleep.
I'm sure that you're tired.
Gun-woo.
Can you sing a song for me?
Forget it, if you find it bothersome.
The director said something to you again, didn't she?
No, it's nothing like that.
Song-ah,
you can tell me if you're having a hard time.
No really, that's not it.
I bet you're really tired.
Good night.
Make sure that you don't miss any spots.
Can't you see me cleaning? I'm putting my back into it.
You and that mouth!
Why are you taking it out on me?
What did I ever do?
I'm about to give my room up, so how could I be happy?
I told you that I'll share a room with her!
I don't know why you insisted that you'll share a room with me!
Why are you cleaning the room in the middle of the night?
Did you hear that?
Why, you little...!
Auntie, go back to your room.
I'll share the room with Ra-bong.
No, no.
Don't refuse.
You go and use my room.
You had a hard life in America, and it's the least I could do for you.
What...?
When were you ever concerned about Se-na's well-being?
You...!
Seriously!
You're just asking for a beating all the time.
Let's go back to our room.
Thanks, Auntie.
Um, Se-na.
I know that you're kind of cold and detached,
but you've always kept your manners.
Even if we're family, you do know that...
there's no such thing as free room and board, right?
Don't worry about the rent.
Yea, okay.
Don't be too discouraged.
Mom will come around one day.
Hyun-ah, you're on my side, right?
You know the answer to that.
Ouch!
You too?
The left side of my lower back's been killing me.
It's like we have pains in the exact same spots, too!
Even twins shouldn't go through this kind of shared experience.
Let's meet with Se-na, the three of us.
Yea.
I didn't really like her back then,
but I'm sure I'll be happy to see her now.
The two of you used to bicker all the time.
Only time was able to resolve that!
Wasn't it awkward to meet her with Cha Gun-woo?
I'd be lying if I told you that I wasn't concerned.
I'm childish, right?
It's understandable.
But don't worry about it. It's all in the past.
That's what I've decided.
Let's go to sleep.
This is nice.
Where's Kang-min?
Yea, there he is.
Why are you alone? What about Kang-mo?
He says that his stomach hurts.
How much?
Is he in a lot of pain?
He doesn't need to see a doctor,
but he's refusing to go golfing.
Why would he miss golf?
He can stop by the hospital before he goes!
Leave him be.
I'm meeting with Chairman Park,
and it could be awkward for him to be there.
Even still! You have two sons...
but you're always leaving Kang-mo out of things!
I didn't tell him not to go!
He's the one claiming to be sick!
Kang-min, let's get going.
We'll be back.
Yea, have a good day.
Have a good day.
Yea, okay.
Mom, did you ever train in boxing?
How can a woman's punch be so painful?
You've got a knockout punch...
Your stomach wasn't hurting at all, was it?
What am I going to do with you?
What's so important about a golf meeting?
You have to associate yourself with successful people!
You're the eldest son of the family, so how can you miss out on it?
Did your father fail to tell you about this?
I prefer comic books to golf any day.
Hey, Koo Kang-mo!
Who do you take after anyways?
From the resemblance, I obviously take after you.
I take after my mother!
How is it?
It's really good.
That's a relief.
I was worried.
Try this sandwich...
Gun-woo.
Gun-woo, is something on your mind?
Nothing's on my mind.
Then why do you look so glum?
It's probably because I'm exhausted from working.
We shouldn't have come out, then.
I should've let you catch up on some sleep.
Should we go back?
No.
I've got a message.
[Applicant no 1500846
We're glad to inform you that you've been accepted into the JH Group.]
What's going on?
Gun-woo, I've been hired into the JH Group!
Is that true?
You're amazing, Jin Song-ah!
My girlfriend is amazing.
Thanks.
There's a rumor that Chairman Koo is buying up shares of the company.
Find out how much he has acquired.
Yes, Director.
[New Employee List]
[Jin Song-ah]
You're leaving again?
None of your business.
That temperamental child!
Be nice to him. He's the baby of the family.
Are you back, Mom?
Where is Do-joon heading this time?
When does he ever tell us where he's going?
That boy makes me worry.
Take care of him while I'm not here.
Yes.
Mom, I have something to tell you.
I've always wanted you to join our company, too.
But you don't have to start at entry level.
People will start talking about it.
I wanted to get hired without you helping me.
You're qualified to be a manager, not an entry-level associate!
Do you care more about what people think than my determination?
Try to be more understanding, Mom.
I know that you were disappointed in me when my business failed.
I wanted to show you that I'm still challenging myself,
by joining the JH Group.
I'm not saying that your intentions are wrong.
But listen to your mother.
That way, your life will be much easier.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Instead of telling me that my decision is wrong,
reserve your judgments until after I start working!
And Gun-woo, too...
I want you to judge him..
after you had a chance to meet him.
Okay.
Then let's see the guy.
Barefoot!
What are you doing here?
What about you, Mr. Sneaker?
I come to this company to work, what else?
You work at this company?
Do I look like a traveling salesman?
No, that's not what I meant, but...
How good is your eyesight?
Why should I tell you that?
Because I asked you.
You're not going to give me an answer?
I have perfect vision!
What's the use of having perfect eyesight...
when you can't even recognize people?
You need to practice recognizing people.
Why do you keep talking to me like that?
I can speak to you however I want to.
Oh, and when will you be returning my sneakers?
You don't look like you'd steal them from me.
Don't' worry!
You'll get them back soon.
Okay.
Call me when the sneakers are ready.
May I have your attention please?
Starting today, Jin Song-ah will be working with our team.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm the new recruit, Jin Song-ah.
I trust that we'll work hard together,
and you can go ahead and take that seat.
Yes.
Everyone, I'd like to introduce the new manager of our department.
She's received awards in New York for being among the top three designers.
This is the star designer, Laura Kang.
Nice to meet you.
My Korean name is Kang Se-na.
I'll promise to do everything in my power...
to develop the products of the JH Group into a recognizable brand.
I look forward to working with you all.
What's going on?
What kind of question is that?
What do you mean, what's going on?
You seem to have a hard time believing that I'm the manager of your department.
I didn't mean it like that...
Why didn't you tell me about this?
Is it really so surprising?
I'm sorry. I must've forgotten.
You seem disappointed.
I was a bit confused.
Don't be so timid.
So you're not going to congratulate me?
Congratulations.
I had no idea you were so successful.
I wouldn't really call this successful.
The game's just beginning.
Let's work hard together.
Yea, let's.
What's going on?
What is Kang Se-na doing here?
Starting today, I'm the new manager of our product development team.
Yea, Mr. Hong.
I'm heading back now. Yes.
Gun-woo, don't forget our dinner with my mom tonight.
Alright.
I'll see you later.
Can we talk for a moment?
You're far more successful than I had imagined.
It's a good thing.
But why do I feel so empty inside?
I feel like I've been chasing a rainbow.
But the true rainbow is inside here.
What is it you want to tell me?
I want to be happy as a woman now.
Gun-woo, did I come back to you too late?
I'm willing to start over.
Don't do this.
Do you think I believe you?
Yea, I won't make any excuses.
My situation was my own responsibility.
How can I ask for your forgiveness?
How can I earn your trust again?
It's no use.
There's no use in digging up the past.
I don't believe that!
As long as you put your mind to it, you can do anything!
Kang Se-na!
Go back inside.
Gun-woo, I'll be waiting for your decision.
When I was struggling in New York,
I used to think about you.
I missed you.
It's difficult to see your face anymore, Sis.
I have to literally beg you to meet with me.
Why did you come here?
Get to the point.
We haven't seen each other in so long.
Why are you so abrasive?
Sis, you know how to carry yourself, but you have zero personality.
Sis, you do know that my Kang-mo is working hard now?
And Kang-min's going to be a director soon.
I was looking into possible suitors for my boys when I was reminded of you.
Don't you have any other place you can boast about your kids?
I'm too busy to chat with you like this.
You can't be that busy, since you're under the chairman.
I'm the chairman's wife.
Don't I deserve a little respect from a director of the company?
Boasting can develop into a disease.
You're so rigid...
You're the first and only person who told me that boasting is a disease!
I was wondering who Kang-mo takes after, but after seeing you...
What are you talking about?
Watch what you say!
What's wrong with my son, huh?
Did you know that his nickname is the 'invisible department head?'
What?
‘Invisible department head?'
Isn't that the same thing as an invisible man?
I don't think he's in his office right now, either.
Where did he go this time?
Koo Kang-mo, where are you coming back from?
Do I have to report to you when I relieve myself in the bathroom?
So is your nickname really the ‘invisible department head?'
How did you end up with such a ridiculous nickname?
Don't worry about it.
If you care about what people say, you'll only shorten your lifespan.
If you want to have a long life,
imagine that everyone's barking like a dog.
What are you talking about?
Do you think you live alone in this world?
How can you ignore other people like you're living on this world alone?
Why, you little...!
Mom, calm down.
When I see you like this, my world comes crumbling down!
Don't you know what kind of son you are to me?
Even if you were carried up the corporate ladder,
you're still pressed for time!
And what?
Invisible head?
Koo Kang-mo, did you really graduate from Harvard?
Just my rotten luck!
Mom.
Let go of me!
It's for 7pm.
Yes, a party of three.
I hope everything goes well.
You've waited for this for so long.
Are you nervous?
I hope mom ends up liking Cha Gun-woo.
When she meets him, she'll have a change of heart.
Please!
What's going on?
Thanks.
I was worried that I lost it.
Don't lose your wallet.
Aren't you Kang Se-na?
It's been a while, Jin Hyun-ah.
I was wondering who you were.
I didn't know you had changed so much!
You don't resemble your former self at all.
All people change.
It's good to see you again.
But what brings you here?
It's my first day at work here.
Really?
Which department do you work in?
Product development.
We only have a new recruit and a manager joining that team.
Um, Manager Jin.
The truth is...
I've already hired Laura Kang into the team.
What?
No way...
Do you recognize me now?
I'm Laura Kang.
What's going on?
I was stabbed in the back by Manager Koo.
What do you mean by that? Tell me so I can understand.
He gave me the run-around while he found and hired Laura Kang.
What?
Why can't you handle this properly?
You told me that you're confident!
I'm sorry, Mom.
Once our new products are unveiled,
we'll be up against Manager Koo.
Since he's found Laura Kang, he's probably feeling secure right now.
I'm sorry.
You don't have time to apologize!
I don't care what you do!
Get Laura Kang on our side!
Mom, to be honest...
Laura Kang is Kang Se-na.
What did you say?
Alright, leave my office.
Yes.
Did you find out?
Yes, Director.
Attorney Cha has a good reputation.
Although he has financial problems due to the debt obligations left by his father,
there are no issues with him and women.
Have you arrived, Mom?
Yea.
Is this Cha Gun-woo?
Yes, that's me. Who is this?
This is the emergency room at the Ka-on Hospital.
Se-na collapsed and Cha Gun-woo is the only person she's looking for.
Kang Se-na has collapsed?
Yes.
Can you hurry to the hospital now?
[My love, Song-ah]

[Preview]
Why are you quitting already? You've just started!
Look here, Mr. Sneakers!
My name isn't Sneakers. It's Koo...
I don't want to know your name!
You'll live under someone's shadow for the rest of your life.
Stop acting like you know him when you don't know anything about him!
Then how well do you really know him?
About Cha Gun-woo?
I'm with Gun-woo now.
Do you want to come here?
