(The Women's Room)
Stop crying.
I said don't cry.
Excuse me.
Who are you?
How did you...
Hello. I don't think we've met.
Who are you?
Are you the...
Yes. I'm the driver.
I'm sorry for only coming now.
How can you leave us like this?
How can I live without you?
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry!
I don't want to live anymore.
I'm going to die with you!
I want to be buried with you.
Take me with you! Take me...
Please stop it!
Please calm down!
I'm going to die with you! I'm coming!
Please stop!
I am so sorry!
Please stop! Please! I'm sorry!
I'm really sorry!
I've done a horrible thing to you.
I've done a terrible thing to you.
I am so sorry.
I have nothing to say to comfort your mother.
It must be hard on you, too.
You don't have to tell me how hard it is.
I know it's hard for you...
to see me.
I just wanted to pay my respects, so I came here.
But seeing your mother crying like that,
perhaps I shouldn't have come.
Now I can clearly see...
what I've done to you.
I really want to help you.
I've already gotten the compensation money.
No. Aside from that,
I really want to help you.
This is my business card.
I'm the vice president of the Mona Lisa Hotel.
Don't take this the wrong way. But I have the power to help you,
so please call me if things get too tough.
I really want to help you.
If not right away, please don't hesitate to call whenever...
you need help. Okay?
Please, you can go now. I'm sure you're busy.
(Vice President Min Kyung-chae)
The funeral dress looks good on you.
Black suits you.
Who was that woman?
Was she the driver?
Why are you here?
I'm here to pay my respects.
Wow! The vice president of the Mona Lisa Hotel?
Was the driver the vice president of the hotel?
She drives a fancy car!
Wait!
Isn't Mona Lisa Hotel where you really wanted to be hired?
What a twist of fate.
She looks to be your age, but she's already a vice president?
That can't happen unless her father is...
the president of the hotel...
That means she's the heiress to the hotel.
The heiress of the hotel?
It's so obvious!
She doesn't even look like she's 30, yet she's already a vice president.
She's headed toward being the next president!
Hey.
I think you've struck gold.
Hee-soo.
I've learned from prison that it's...
better to just forget about the past.
There's no need to linger in the past.
You shouldn't let go of opportunities like this.
I'm sure you know by now,
they don't come by often for people like us.
You don't need to pay your respects so just go home.
How can I live without you?
I'm just going to kill myself.
Stop it. She's gone.
Goodness. She's gone already?
What did she say?
Why did she come?
I got it quick. We're lucky I did that!
You overreacted.
You don't know much about the world.
Should I have said, "He's been your father only on paper but...
he has tortured us so much."?
"We're not related to him in any way."
"That he's sucked the life out of us."
"So thank you so much for killing him."
Should I have said that?
I need to overreact to get a little more compensation money.
Right. I forgot to ask.
Hey. Didn't she mention compensation money?
I already got it.
You got it already?
When?
How much?
Right after the accident.
Why didn't you tell me?
This is strange.
Were you going to keep it for yourself?
Where is it? Let me see it.
I kept it safe.
Don't worry about it.
I guess he's done one good thing for us.
He should, after everything he's done to us.
You take good care of that compensation money.
It's money for the rest of our lives.
His life as well as both of our lives.
It is our lifeline!
I heard you went to see the victim's family.
We've already given them compensation,
so why did you do such a reckless thing?
It wasn't reckless, Dad.
What will you do when they find out about you?
I'm sure it'll stay with you for a while and...
you probably want to do something for them.
However, you've done everything you have to do.
- But, Dad... - I
don't want to hear about this matter anymore.
It's said too much is as bad as too little.
It's already over and done with,
so thinking about it will only torture you.
Kyung-chae.
Why are you still up, Eun-chae?
I couldn't sleep.
Do you want me to stay with you?
Let's go back to bed.
And the shoe store was always busy with people.
Can you read it one more time?
You need to go to bed so that you can go to the centre tomorrow.
Otherwise, you'll be late.
Is your heart still broken?
What?
Eun-chae gave you a hug but does it still hurt?
Your hug has helped, but it still hurts.
Would you like another hug?
Yes, please.
Is it better now?
Yes, it's much better now.
You are my medicine.
But why is your heart broken?
I...
I think...
I broke someone else's heart.
That is what's making me sad.
Do you think they will ever forgive me?
I want to be forgiven, but I'm not sure how.
What should I do?
Eun-chae will forgive you.
Will you?
Will you forgive me for them?
I'm the vice president of the Mona Lisa Hotel.
She looks to be your age, but she's already a vice president?
That can't happen unless her father is...
the president of the hotel...
That means she's the heiress to the hotel.
You shouldn't let go of opportunities like this.
I'm sure you know by now,
they don't come by often for people like us.
They will announce the venue for hosting...
the APEC summit meeting this week.
So please focus on its preparation and public relations.
Yes, Sir.
Please announce this to the employees.
Yes, Sir.
I heard that you took care of...
the car accident incident for the vice president while I was gone.
Yes, Sir.
I just did what I had to do.
Good job.
It's not good for us to be in the media at this critical time.
I'll get back to work now.
Wait.
Are you busy tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Let's have dinner together. You did a good job.
Yes, Sir.
I asked for room service...
because I heard you hired a new chef.
Is this all he can do?
Why isn't the vice president here yet?
Did you call for me?
You can go now.
I know this is not good enough for you.
The chef hasn't reported to work yet.
Really?
I thought he was recruited by Mona Lisa Hotel.
I...
I can't get a hold of Chef Jin Soo-hyuk.
I only have his friend's phone number.
Hi!
I'm the vice president of the Mona Lisa Hotel.
I heard that you are a friend of Chef Jin Soo-hyuk.
Yes, I'm his grandmother.
I see, Ma'am!
How do you do?
Excuse me for calling you like this.
I'm sorry to bother you but we've lost contact with the chef.
We did confirm that he's in the country.
Really? I see.
If I get in touch with him, I'll tell him to contact you.
(The greatest grandma)
Please don't bother me because I'm having a feast right now.
You should at least come see me!
I already have...
at the Mona Lisa Hotel.
When are you going to come home?
If you came to Korea, you should've come home right away.
You are acting like a homeless person!
Give me a few more days. I still have more things to taste.
I'll call you later.
(Mona Lisa Hotel New Hires)
(Please call if you have any questions)
You have no conscience.
How dare you apply to this hotel with such a scandal behind you?
Please remember her name.
We don't want to hire her even by mistake.
Drink up.
Pour me a drink, too.
Yes, Sir.
Did something good happen today?
You look happy.
I heard that our hotel will most likely...
be chosen as the venue for the APEC summit meeting.
Really? Congratulations, Dad.
Congratulations, Sir.
Yes, congratulations are in order.
We've hosted small international meetings,
but nothing of this big.
If we successfully host this event,
it will surely upgrade our hotel's image.
I'm so happy for you.
I don't deserve all the credit.
It's the hard work of all the employees.
I'm especially grateful to you...
for taking care of the vice president's accident.
You're too kind.
Car accidents are uncontrollable, but that's not how people see it.
It's great for rumour-mongers.
Any leaks regarding it would have caused problems.
Anyhow, you did a good job.
Thank you, Sir.
You look happy today.
You don't usually eat with young people.
What was the occasion?
The general manager is very competent and has good reviews.
So I wanted to have a drink with him.
I see.
I think dad drank too much.
He usually doesn't drink much.
He doesn't want to be drunk
in front of other people.
I think he felt comfortable with you.
How about telling the president about us now and get his approval?
We've waited long enough.
I think this is a good time.
I know but...
How about if I go and meet your parents first?
My parents?
Yes, I should meet them and get their approval first.
I really want to meet your parents. I'm so curious!
I can only imagine what wonderful people they must be...
to be your parents.
My parents...
What? You don't want me to?
No, they are both abroad so it's hard to meet them right away.
Really?
Why are they abroad?
They're on a trip.
I see.
Really?
Do you really think the president is in love with Ji-sub?
What do you mean "In love"?
You're such a simpleton. You can't say it like that.
There are expressions like "impressed" or "interested".
What's the difference? They're all the same.
What's important is that the president likes Ji-sub.
Yes, he said, "The general manager is very competent."
Really?
Do you think he's thinking of him as his future son-in-law?
You are overreacting again!
He just sees him as one of his employees.
What's with the future son-in-law talk?
Why not? It's not like he lacks anything.
Ji-sub is good enough to be the son-in-law of any wealthy family.
He's not lacking anything!
He's got the looks and the education.
He doesn't have rich parents.
We are way below the standard.
But just by looking at him, there's no one better, so we never know.
Come on! That's enough.
It will never happen.
Even if the president wants Ji-sub as the vice president's husband,
I'm against it.
Why are you against it?
Come on. People need to know their place.
If you try to reach higher, you'll only hurt yourself.
I want a simple woman from a simple family for Ji-sub.
You've no ambition. You only like simple things.
I think it'd be great to have rich in-laws...
so that both Ji-sub and us can benefit from it.
- Whatever! - I studied too hard.
Mum, should we make some fried dumplings?
Whatever! You only talk about food!
Come on! Why are you upset?
Your dad wants a simple woman for your brother to marry,
saying we need to know where we belong.
That got you upset?
I know you have big dreams about your future daughter-in-law.
Mum, don't worry.
I'll bring you an awesome daughter-in-law.
Isn't that enough?
Who should I bring?
Just tell me.
How about a daughter of a hotel owner?
Ridiculous!
I feel much better now.
It's a relief to finally scatter his ashes.
Right! How much did they give as compensation?
I'm not sure. I didn't check.
What? You still haven't checked?
Let me see it.
Wait. How much is this?
Hee-soo! Look at this.
How many 10,000-dollar checks are these?
Are you that happy?
Who doesn't like money?
I can pay the rent and the debt now.
Hey. Should we just run off with this?
We can go to the countryside.
We've done that all of our lives.
We've been to everywhere except Jeju Island.
And they have always found us.
You are right.
We won't have much left after we pay the debt.
What a waste!
Darn it.
I'm the vice president of the Mona Lisa Hotel.
I have the power to help you,
so please call me if things get too tough.
I really want to help you.
How much do you think we need for us to be happy?
The more the merrier.
There's no set amount.
I'm so relieved.
I had some important documents in my bag.
If she sees this bag,
then she'll find out that I've known who she was.
Where did you go?
Did you go to that woman?
Who do you mean? What woman?
I mean the vice president of the Mona Lisa Hotel.
Why should I go see her?
I thought you went to see her.
It's obvious she'll do anything for you right now.
I've already been compensated.
For people like her, money is not important.
They're worried about their image.
What if this leaks out to the media?
A man died! It's a big deal!
It's only a matter of time...
before the Mona Lisa's image plummets and people begin to talk.
Do you think that I'm like you?
What do you mean by that?
Ripping people off by using their weaknesses.
That's your specialty.
So you do know you have the upper hand.
I looked into it.
She is the daughter of the hotel's president, Min Dong-chul.
This is a gift from the heavens.
You can ask for so much more...
than whatever they gave you as compensation.
If it's too hard for you, I can help you.
This is why you are trash!
Okay?
Trash?
Laugh at me if you want.
You'll be begging me for your life one of these days.
This is Min Kyung-chae.
Yes?
Here.
Why...
I want to return this.
It is too tempting to have this card.
I know you gave it to me with good intentions,
but for people like us, this only becomes an opportunity.
And we want to abuse that opportunity.
You probably don't understand because you've had a good life.
People like us say we've struck gold in such a situation.
Or that we've hit the jackpot.
This card is that tempting.
I'm afraid I might hold on to you by using dad's accident.
If I receive help from you once, I'll turn to you again.
And the second time will lead to a third time.
Then whenever I'm in a bind or in trouble again,
if I have that, I'll want to call you again.
That's why I gave it to you.
But I don't want to do that...
because I know why you gave me.
The money was enough compensation.
That's more than enough.
Please forget about the accident.
We'll try to forget it too.
Although it's really hard, I'm sure we can forget it.
I know what you mean.
I don't know how you have such a good heart.
On my way to meet you, I had many thoughts.
I did give you the card to call me.
But I got a little nervous when you actually called.
I wondered what I could do for you or what you wanted from me.
I got worried and regretted a bit.
But now, I'm so ashamed of myself.
Am I blushing?
Yes.
But still,
you're very beautiful.
Pardon?
I've got to get going. I'm sure you are busy.
Let's have dinner next time since I accepted this card.
That's fair, right?
Sure. Goodbye.
That's her, right?
Why is she here?
It's nothing.
This is a gift from the heavens.
You can get so much more...
than whatever they gave you as compensation.
I was going to hold the interview at the hotel,
but I thought I could show you how I live this way.
This will make the interview more real.
Of course.
We're happy to do it at your place.
Due to my physical condition, it's easier for me to have this at home.
It's not very easy for me to go out.
I understand. Well, let's start the interview now.
But I'm not the main person here.
She said she'll be here after the meeting,
but I guess she's running late.
It's through such hard work...
that she became the youngest female...
vice president of a prestigious hotel.
She loves her job.
She says this is her calling.
I think she's here.
Mrs Yeo...
It's Kyung-chae, right?
I told her to hurry. They're waiting.
Hi, Mum!
Eun-chae is back from the centre.
Who is she? "Mum."?
What are you waiting for Mrs Han?
Serve some tea to the guests.
Yes, of course.
I'm sorry.
We should have served tea.
Mrs Han. Is it Kyung-chae?
I'm sorry for making you wait.
Where are your manners?
You should've been on time for the interview.
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
It's okay.
We've had time to look around and talk to Mrs Yeo.
I was having fun.
Should we get started?
Congratulations on becoming the vice president.
How long have you been working as the VP?
It hasn't been too long, but...
I had been ready for it from a long time ago.
Is that a good answer?
What are your thoughts on the Mona Lisa Hotel being...
the most likely venue for the APEC summit meeting?
We've worked hard on public relations.
We have the size and the personnel to host such an event.
I guess we won't know until the result is announced.
I think you've worked too hard.
You look pale.
Really?
It's because her heart is broken.
Kyung-chae caused a car accident.
That's why her heart is broken.
So I hugged her.
Eun-chae is Kyung-chae's medicine.
What is she talking about?
My sister caused a car accident.
She killed someone.
She cried because she was sorry.
She cried so much,
so I gave her a hug.
Someone was killed?
Is she saying you caused a car accident?
A fatal one at that?
What are you doing, Mrs Han?
Yes, yes.
Ms Min. What is going on?
I think you need to explain yourself.
We can't continue with the interview today.
Let's set another date. Please leave now.
Mrs Han, please see them out.
Yes, Ma'am.
Please, let's go. Please, let's go now.
Are you hiding something from me?
Eun-chae is slow but she doesn't make up stories.
Did you really cause a fatal car accident?
