(The Women's Room)
(Episode 11)
Have you had dinner yet?
I missed it while waiting for an important call.
You're probably going to work late, so you should eat something.
You shouldn't work in an empty stomach.
I was so hungry that I couldn't focus.
Don't skip meals because of work.
That makes me feel bad.
I guess I should do this often so that you can take care of me.
Will you take care of me even after we're married?
Of course!
I'll cook and feed you myself.
I want to eat your food at your place.
Aren't you going to invite me?
Your parents must be back from their trip.
I should buy you some sushi.
Didn't you like the sushi from Jongno?
You'll go all the way there? Isn't it too far from here?
The distance isn't a problem.
I'll fly to Japan if you want.
If it's okay with you, wait for me. I'll be back with some food.
Is this the vice president's office?
Is she still there?
She is?
Okay.
Were you still here?
The hotel is in a frenzy.
How can I go home by myself?
This is the menu list.
This looks great!
I really like this new barbecue menu.
This is better than I expected.
Didn't you have dinner?
Working is good, but we all do this to live.
You shouldn't skip meals for it.
No one is going to reward you.
I know.
I'll give you an opportunity to do your homework.
Don't just stare at the food.
It's there for you to eat.
What do you say?
Are you going to just say "It's good." again?
I'm not sure.
I finished it so fast.
Is it more disappointing than "It's good."?
No, it's actually the opposite.
Look.
You finished your plate. That's the greatest compliment for any chef.
There's no need for anything else.
The last time,
you just took one bite...
and said, "It's good." with an empty look.
Did I do that?
Yes, you did.
I guess you felt obligated to eat because I asked you to.
You just took one bite out of courtesy and just said,
"It's good." without tasting it.
I must have upset you.
Upset? I was more disappointed.
I asked myself,
"Do I have to work with her who doesn't understand..."
"or appreciate good food?"
"Working here will be boring." "But I want to enjoy my work!"
Where is the contract?
Since I'm here, let me just sign it now.
Our hotel is so busy.
It's because of the APEC summit meeting.
What?
Facial mask?
You're so ignorant.
Don't you know what APEC is?
Just hang up already!
What?
I just ate at the cafeteria.
Ji-sub?
He's been really busy today.
I'm sure he ate although I didn't see him at the cafeteria.
You didn't see him?
How can you just fill your belly when our son is going hungry?
You need to care about your son more!
Look at the time now. He must be swamped with work.
You have eyes, use them!
I already bought something for him.
Are you still at the president's house?
Ji-sub's here. I'll talk to you later.
Hello, General Manager.
I guess you're still working.
Everyone is working.
Yes, I know. Everyone is working.
Goodbye.
Ji-sub, how about dinner? Did you have dinner yet?
What if someone hears?
But no one is here.
Even if you don't see anyone, we're still at work.
You need to address me properly.
Okay. Here take this.
It's okay.
Here, take it.
I said it's okay.
I'm fine, so you can have it Mr Han.
Here. I bought your favourites.
It looks so good!
You bought all of my favourites.
What's wrong? Don't you like it?
No, it's really good.
I'm sorry Ji-sub, but I don't think I can eat anymore.
I just can't.
But I thought you were hungry?
The chef made pasta for me so I ate it.
I'm so full that I can't eat anymore.
He's also signed the final contract!
I see.
I was worried he'd give you rough time with it.
I'm happy for you.
Let's take this out of the way.
I don't want you to overeat.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
I guess the hotel is in a state frenzy?
Yes. You must be happy that the stock price will rise again...
after this international function.
Regardless of who the CEO is, you'll be the real owner of the hotel.
That's not enough.
Do you think that's all I planned for?
That's just a plan, not a long-term strategy.
A good strategy must not be shaken by anything.
Life is a battle against surprises.
I hope no one is going to get hurt because of such surprises.
I'm not sure. I guess only God will know.
You must work hard as a chef for now,
but be ready to step up when the situation requires it.
I'm just there as a chef.
There's nothing else for me to care.
I'm going to sleep.
Goodnight.
Reorganise the website to make it friendly to foreign users and...
this is for the afternoon's meeting.
And...
Where did it go? I must have left it at home.
I'm so forgetful these days. Hold on.
Why don't you go wash your hands?
Then you can have some fruit.
Okay.
Hello? This is the Min residence.
Is it you, Hee-soo?
Why are you calling home at this hour?
Do you see an envelope on the table?
I do see one.
I knew it. I need it for a meeting today.
Do you want me to take it to you?
I can be there soon.
I'm here again.
Goodbye. Have a good day.
I hope you had a good time.
Have a good day.
As I've told you before, maintain your dignity.
We need to compose ourselves as befits this global age.
Let's talk about the function and the role of lounges.
I'll never be hired.
Why did you give up so easily?
If you have a certain goal, there's always a way to achieve it.
That's the first thing you should do.
(Vice President Min Kyung-chae)
What is it?
Ms Eun, the meeting is ready.
The board is waiting for you.
After the meeting, you have an interview.
After that, you must go to the TV station and film...
"A Mentor's Friend."
I guess my schedule is full again.
With your beauty and ability, you're the role model of our times.
All female college students want you as their mentor.
You're also someone more famous than celebrities.
You're also a hotel heiress more beautiful than Paris Hilton.
Those rankings are all meaningless.
I'm only interested in building up the hotel's brand.
Let's go to the meeting.
Jin-kyung, I have a guest in my office, right?
Yes.
When did you arrive?
Just now.
Please sit down.
Here it is.
Thank you.
I'm sorry for troubling you.
It's okay.
You seem busy so I'll get going.
Please stay for some tea.
I'll feel bad if you just leave like this.
Ms Min, we have a problem.
This is no hotel. This is a love motel!
Please calm down. We do have other guests.
I don't care about other people.
Let me have the key!
What's going on?
She said her husband is here with his lover.
So she wants us to open the door for her.
Why don't you calm down?
I do understand how you feel.
But unless it is an emergency, we can't give you the key.
What? You don't think this is an emergency?
What's more urgent than this?
Please calm down.
Or we will have to call the police for interfering with our business.
What? Interfering with business?
How dare you?
You're running a love motel, what are you to call the police?
I'm sorry but this is our protocol.
Please call the police.
Go ahead! Call the police!
Protocol? You make me laugh!
What did I say? I said, open the door.
Give me the key! I said give me the key! Now!
Please give me the key.
Give me the key.
Do whatever you want.
You can open the door and see for yourself.
Wait.
Once you open that door, you'll regret it.
First,
you're going to regret seeing your husband having an affair.
Second, you'll regret having to divorce him.
Third, if you can't divorce him after catching him in the act,
you'll regret it while feeling like a loser.
Will you make this regretful choice?
What am I going to do? What am I going to do?
How did you...
What did you do?
I was so nervous I couldn't even talk.
Did you cast a spell on her?
It wasn't a spell.
I just felt her anguish.
She was full of rage.
Asking her why she's angry will only make her feel cornered.
At such times, we need to just acknowledge her anger.
That usually solves the problem.
Everyone wants to be understood.
That's amazing.
I wish we had someone like you working at our hotel.
I'm glad the situation got resolved quickly...
with not that many guests watching.
It's all thanks to you.
You're all wet. You can't go home like this.
It's okay.
I'm sure they'll dry as I go home.
You can wear my dress.
I brought this here in case I needed it.
Here.
Why don't you change into this?
I think this will fit you.
Ms Min?
Kyung-chae?
Min Kyung-chae?
Didn't she hear me?
We've been so busy today that I didn't even get to see you.
Isn't this the first time we're seeing each other today?
Don't you miss me?
Why aren't you answering me?
You really don't miss me?
You still don't?
How about now?
I love you.
I really missed you.
Let me see you.
I'm so sorry.
I thought you were someone I knew because of your dress.
I'm so sorry.
It was Kyung-chae's dress.
Who was it?
Who was wearing Kyung-chae's dress?
I love you.
Where have you been?
Is that a new dress? Did you buy it?
I don't have the money to buy dresses.
It belongs to Kyung-chae.
Why are you wearing her dress?
My clothes got wet while I was running an errand so...
I borrowed it from her. She told me to wear it.
Really?
With this dress on, you look like a daughter of this family!
A daughter of this family?
Yes, a daughter of this family.
With an expensive dress on, you look so glamorous.
You're glowing from head to toe!
You're glowing!
I'm glowing?
Don't you miss me?
I heard there was some commotion today in the lobby.
What was that about?
An enraged woman came in ready to cause trouble, but...
Hee-soo took care of it so calmly.
Hee-soo?
She came to the hotel on an errand for me.
She took care of it so calmly.
Really?
All I could think about was the protocol.
But Hee-soo looked into the heart of the guest.
The more I get to know her, I think she's a wonderful person.
I agree with you on that.
Why don't you buy her lunch at the hotel restaurant?
We need to express our gratitude.
Yes, Dad.
We have a delivery for Lee Eun-hee.
Let me check on that.
Excuse me, could you move that delivery truck out there?
Junk like that parked at the front ruins the hotel's image.
It's a piece of junk!
Let me check on that.
I don't know who the driver is, but how can he drive such a junk heap?
What should I eat for brunch today?
What on earth? Who does she think she is?
Wait, I remember that attitude.
Wait.
Could it be her?
Two, four, six, eight, ten!
I don't think so. No way.
All girls look so alike these days.
Look at the time. Please take care of this.
Thank you.
This makes all of our hard work worthwhile.
It's barbecue that we made for our foreign guests.
(Mona Lisa Steps Up As The Venue of APEC Summit Meeting)
Congratulations for successfully hosting...
one of the biggest international functions.
How do you feel about it?
Yes. Thank you.
I'm relieved the event went without a hitch.
I think I can finally sleep well tonight.
It was huge news that the Mona Lisa hosted this event...
Now that we're done with the event, we are back to our regular routine.
It's been a while since I drove you home
I guess so.
Now that we're back to our routine,
should we set our love affair on fire?
You must've been tired today.
I'm a little tired but I'm okay.
You worked so hard.
Would you like a gift from me?
A gift?
Let's go meet your parents.
That's the order of things.
I'll meet your parents first and then you can meet my dad.
You know my dad is not an easy person.
I can make your parents approve of me.
My parents?
When should we go?
You look so tired.
You need to go and rest.
Min Kyung-chae.
You really do have everything.
You're surely the happiest woman on earth.
Min Kyung-chae.
You're an heiress to a hotel,
with a supportive father and a kind boyfriend.
Why did God give you everything?
What are you?
Who are you to have everything without even working for it?
Where have you been?
I just took a walk.
Let's take a walk together next time.
I want to chat with you while walking around the neighbourhood.
Why don't you sit down?
You look happy.
Did something good happen?
No, nothing significant.
I guess I am relaxed now that the function is over.
You're such a lucky person.
You have the perfect family, resume,
and even supportive people.
I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect person before.
Do you think so?
I've never thought about it that way.
Are you saying that you deserve what you have?
Without ever paying the price?
Hee-soo, why don't you come to the hotel tomorrow?
To the hotel?
The woman you calmed down last time called to let us know...
that she made up with her husband.
She's thankful to you for this and requested to talk to you.
Really?
I'm so happy for her.
Let's have lunch at the hotel.
We've got an amazing chef's special.
Let's chat over lunch and tea tomorrow.
I didn't even return the dress you let me borrow.
I'll get it. Give me a minute.
You can keep it.
You don't have to return it.
The best snack is the one you have at night.
I know.
We may be getting fat but it's so good at this hour.
Aren't you glad I bought them?
It's so good because it's so tender.
Those are always the best.
Hi, you're late.
Pil-sub bought us some late night snacks.
Why don't you join us, Ji-sub?
Stop eating.
Save some for your brother.
Why are you being so petty with food?
I bought it!
Come on.
Why are you standing there? Come and join us.
Let's go and meet your parents.
That's the order of things.
I can make your parents approve of me.
You sure can eat!
This is a VIP guest.
Please take good care of us.
I will.
I'm not a VIP. I'm just a normal person.
You are a VIP to me.
This is the chef's special.
We've made the food lighter and toned down the aroma and...
the personality of the main ingredient.
It will be easy to take in.
Okay.
Hee-soo, let's finish off everything.
That's the biggest compliment we can give to the chef.
An empty plate is the greatest compliment for any chef.
I don't need any other compliment.
Do you remember this place?
How can I forget?
I want to return this.
I was tempted when I got this.
You may have just been good to me but people like us see it...
as an opportunity.
And we desire to take advantage of such a situation.
You seemed so good and warm at the time.
It reminded me that such innocent people still exists in this world.
You embarrassed and amazed me.
Did I?
I think I took too much of your time.
Please go back to work.
I'm sad to see you go.
I have to go now anyway.
I have to pick up Eun-chae from the centre.
Hee-soo.
You do know that I'm really grateful for you, right?
No. I didn't know.
Really? You're making me sad.
Of course I know.
I knew.
I know you like me as much as I like you, right?
I guess this is what people call a tacit understanding.
Please go back to work.
I'll go now.
It's you! It's been a long time.
What are you doing here?
I'm here on business. How about you?
Are you here on business, too?
You're so good at your business.
You are so bold.
Every time I come here,
I feel bad thinking about that night here with you.
Don't ever act like you know me.
Wait!
What are you doing?
If you're still looking for a job, use me again.
I'm giving you a chance because of our old friendship.
You haven't changed at all.
You listen to me.
I'll be working here as a full-time employee.
I'm not the incompetent person you used to know...
who had nothing to back me up.
I don't know who's backing you up, but you'll never get a job here.
You know how strict this hotel is about scandals.
Why would they hire someone who's been blacklisted?
Blacklisted?
What do you mean?
If you're curious, check on it yourself.
