The Women's Room
(Episode 2)
Hey you, Madame Gong!
I heard you went to the cinema with my husband.
Everyone heard about it!
We just share a similar hobby.
Hobby? That's nonsense! How dare you!
How can you flirt with a married man?
Darn it!
I'll bet you didn't just see a movie.
What else did you do? Anything else?
Do you think we just saw a movie together at our age?
Of course we went all the way.
So what? What are you going to do about it?
I'm going to get you!
Be good to your husband if you have the time to do this here!
Tell him to stop bothering me!
Hee-soo!
Help me, Hee-soo! Hee-soo! Hee-soo! Help!
Hee-soo!
Even your own daughter is turning her back on you.
It hurts!
You horrible daughter!
How could you just walk away like that?
That witch!
Madame Gong, why do you live like this?
Why do we live like this?
It's just our fate. What can we do?
Nothing can change our fate.
This is just how we're meant to live.
Why are you home so early? Did you get the afternoon off?
Hello? Where is Madame Gong?
I'm having such an unlucky day!
What a pleasant surprise.
It's been so long.
You look good.
What brings you here?
What do you think?
Well, I have no idea.
I asked you to wait just a bit longer.
It hasn't been that long since I last paid you.
You're back too soon!
Come on! I do have to run a business here.
What you gave me was for last month.
I'm here for this month's pay!
The business has been so bad that I'm barely surviving.
I suck on my fingers to survive!
I lost so much weight because I haven't been able to eat.
Didn't I tell you I'd take your daughter if you don't pay up?
How could you say that?
People would think you are a gangster.
I am a gangster.
What's going on? Who is he?
Why did you come out?
You should've stayed inside!
Here you are.
You deal this with me, okay? Talk to me first, okay?
Get out of the way.
Do you want me to get a job for you?
You have to make money to pay off the debt, right?
You can start right away.
Let go of me!
Please don't do this. Come on!
You're making me angry.
You stay out of this.
- Let's go. - Let go of me!
Let me go!
Hee-soo, run!
Run! Run!
Stop!
Hee-soo.
Hey, you!
Go ahead and run.
I said, go ahead!
I'm so out of breath.
Why would you make this hard?
Hi, Kwang-sik!
Hey! It's been a long time!
I'm not Kwang-sik!
Then you must be Kwang-Tae.
I'm sorry I didn't recognise you.
Let go!
Okay, I will.
- Let go! - Ouch!
Run!
His punches were so weak!
Hey. Shouldn't you ask me if I'm ok?
Why did you get involved?
I didn't ask for your help.
You really don't know why I got involved?
You really don't know?
I don't know.
Eun Hee-soo!
I guess you wouldn't say sorry.
Don't get involved again.
I'm not grateful at all.
Why are you so tough?
You haven't changed at all.
Make your choice.
Are you going to pay up or drink this rat poison and die?
One day, that's going to cost you.
I'm sick and tired of this.
Every day is a hell.
They will follow us to our graves.
I can never get out of here unless I pay it back.
I know your situation well and there is a way to get your job back.
So you think about it.
We can't do it here, so come to the Mona Lisa Hotel.
I will tell you how you can get your job back.
Ma'am?
Are you okay?
You're here.
Why aren't you coming in?
Okay.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
What? Well...
I was in the elevator with the guest next door.
She just had a weird look about her.
It was a woman?
Look at you!
Haven't I told you to never to look at other women?
What? How did she look?
Was it mysterious?
Seductive?
What are you talking about?
What do you think I'm talking about?
You're not jealous, are you?
What do you think?
How can I not be jealous when you are looking at other women?
It was so hard to get this room for us.
Goodness, was it?
I didn't know.
Come here.
What are you doing?
Not yet.
Not until I tell dad about us and get his permission.
Why did you go through all that to get a room then?
I'm happy just to be in your arms.
You may be happy, but I'm suffering.
This is temptation.
Good things come to those who wait.
We should save the best for last.
I love you.
Aren't you going to say it back?
You may just say that you love me with words,
I want to show my love for you with my entire being.
Mum, I'm going to work.
Why aren't you going? Go to work.
I want to stay with you for a while.
I have some time.
Just go.
I just want to stay with you for a while.
I said just go!
Aren't you late?
I'm the vice president.
I don't have to be on time.
I thought you had a meeting.
I'm sure they will take care of it.
We have a lot of competent employees at our hotel.
The nurse is coming. You didn't have to do this.
The nurse won't be here for another hour.
What were you going to do until then?
How can you wait that long?
I don't want to live.
You are so perfect.
You are beautiful, intelligent, and even elegant.
You are too perfect!
Mrs Yeo Ok-sun.
Accidents like this actually make you more human.
It's fun to hang out with you like this.
I feel like a kid again. It feels good.
What do you mean? I'm not reinstated?
Can you check again? I'm sure I'm reinstated.
Your name was on the list of people to be fired last Friday.
I know, but check again.
I'm sure I'm reinstated.
No, it's the same.
Your status hasn't changed.
This can't be happening.
You promised to reinstate me!
I know but it just didn't work out.
Why are you doing this to me?
Why are you doing this to me, Eun Hee-soo?
Do I owe you a position?
Sometimes things don't work out.
I'm going to tell everyone about what you did to me.
What are you going to tell? What then?
The truth?
Do you think people would care?
The world only believes people with power.
They'll think that you seduced me not to get fired.
Jerk.
You're no saint, either.
You were trying to use me, too.
Weren't you trying to keep your job by using me?
Do you know what the worst thing is about you?
You don't know how evil you are. You're so evil.
Hey! How dare you!
You witch!
How can you do this me?
Get me reinstated! Come on!
Let go of me!
Come to me one more time, and I'll tell everyone.
And you'll never be able to work at any hotel again.
Why do you do this to me?
Why are you all doing this to me, why?
What did I do wrong? What...
What have I done wrong? What have I done so wrong?
Why? Why?
I guess public transportation is faster at this hour.
The world only believes people with power.
They'll think that you seduced me to be reinstated.
Come to me one more time, and I'll tell everyone.
And you'll never be able to work at any hotel again.
I'm sorry.
Why are you back so early?
I called in sick.
Why did you call in sick?
Did you get fired from the hotel?
Did you get fired?
Goodness! I guess you are.
Didn't I tell you to work hard?
How much harder? How much more?
I got on my knees, had water thrown at my face and...
even went to a hotel to...
What more am I supposed to do?
Goodness. What's wrong with you?
I was just worried about our finances.
Why am I the only one that has to work hard?
No one has ever...
taken my side.
Why should I work hard?
Okay! I'm not saying anything.
I'm sure you can look for a job at another hotel.
There are plenty of jobs! What a temper.
The bag...
What about the bag?
I'm sorry.
The bags were switched.
The bags were switched?
It looks just like yours.
This bag is...
worth a hundred times more than my 50-dollar bag.
A hundred times?
Then how much is that bag?
(Min Kyung-chae)
The vice president is in a meeting but she'll be back soon.
Please wait here.
(VP Min Kyung-chae)
Hello.
Here is your bag.
I'm so relieved.
I had some important documents in the bag.
Thank you for returning it.
Please have a seat.
They are identical.
One is a real and the other is a fake,
just like us.
Pardon?
Nothing.
Please check your bag.
Why?
You want me to check if you took anything?
You wouldn't have returned the bag if you did.
You never know, so please check.
It's okay...
I'll check it then.
I think I have everything.
What's wrong? Is there anything on my face?
No,
I just think you are beautiful.
What?
Vice President. The meeting is ready.
Okay. I'll be right there.
I'm sorry I can't even offer you some tea.
No, it's okay.
We will take care to minimise their discomfort.
Just do whatever they ask for.
Yes, Ma'am.
Has it been resolved?
Yes, we took care of it just like you asked.
The cards says there is a guest on my way.
Darn it. I just wish the creditors won't show up today.
Did you return the bag?
Didn't she give you a reward for returning such an expensive bag?
Rich people are worse these days.
See? I told you to just keep it.
She seemed to be at the centre of this world...
like nothing bad will ever happen to her
and that she'll live happily ever after.
She looked so happy...
and I felt like I can't ever be that happy.
Even to a girl, she was beautiful.
Who was so beautiful?
Hey. I'm sure it was all make-up.
it's expensive make-up. I'm sure of it.
I want to be switched like this bag.
I want to switch my life with hers.
I want her life.
Hey! Why are you crying?
Knock knock!
Hello, Mum.
I'm back from the centre.
Mum. Here.
The art teacher said to make someone I love the most in the world.
So I made you.
Do you love me the most in the world?
You did a good job.
It's really nice.
Will I have a date with you tonight?
Or will I be stood up again?
I'm sorry but I have to go home early today.
I have to go home with dad.
What?
Yesterday, you had to go early to pick up your sister.
What's going on today?
I think mum is feeling better. That's what I heard.
So dad and I want to have dinner with mum and Eun-chae.
We've been too busy, and haven't been with them much.
When can we have dinner together?
I'm always second to your family.
That's not true.
You're as important as my family.
I know you are a family woman, but I might get upset if this keeps up.
I don't want to upset you.
I have a great idea!
You just have to become part of the family.
Then I can take care of you any time. What do you think?
Mr Han, you can go home now.
I will drive dad home today. We're going home together.
Yes, Miss. I'll be going then.
What do you think about becoming my family?
Madame Gong?
Who? I don't know who she is.
How can I pay the rent when business is so bad?
I have no money!
Gosh! Why would I not pay the rent if I had the money?
She thinks owning a small store like this is such a big deal!
Aren't you going to work?
Aren't you going to get a job? You're just going to do nothing?
The owner is bugging me about the rent!
I've only taken off a few days!
Since high school to college, I've never stopped working.
I've delivered milk and cooked to pay for college!
Once I started at the hotel, I never took a day off.
What about me?
Do you think I took it easy?
I sold drinks all day.
I drank in the evening and drank again to sober up in the morning.
I drank till I got ulcers!
I had to endure it all and sell drinks!
Are you really my mum?
I'm not your mum.
I'm Madame Gong!
Geez!
I really should quit smoking.
There's nothing to see here.
Just be on your way. Don't talk to me.
I heard you got fired from the hotel.
You've been holding up for a long time.
I'm surprised you were able to do all that for so long.
Why don't we just get married?
Do you think my working at the hotel is same as...
Madame Gong selling drinks or you conning people?
Do you know what it's like to do something that excites you?
Do you know how happy it is to...
do something that excites you?
I'd have quit long ago if the hotel was just another job.
For me, working at the hotel was...
a dream, passion, my everything.
Do you know that?
Wow! You are so eloquent.
In your dreams!
I know I've got nothing, but I'm not that low.
You look down on me because you went to college,
but you're going to regret it!
Eun-chae, I'm home.
Eun-chae!
Bring me more drinks!
Aren't you going to listen to me?
Is that how it's going to be?
Please stop, Mrs Yeo. Someone might get hurt!
- Bring me more drinks! - Mum! What's going on?
Be careful of the broken glass.
Kyung-chae, you're home!
This woman hid my drinks and won't give them to me.
Why are you doing this? You've been good lately.
You promised not to drink.
I didn't drink much.
I just had one drink.
I just want one more.
One is just not enough.
Eun-chae, come here. Come here my daughter.
Come, my baby.
My daughter.
Did I scare you, poor thing?
My poor baby. Poor baby.
My beautiful daughter.
You are the apple of my eye.
Eun-chae...
Should we just die together?
Let's just die together.
