(The Women's Room)
(Episode 17)
Ji-sub! Why are you here?
What are you doing here?
I'm waiting for the president. You know I'm always on standby.
You should eat something decent.
You're eating noodles on the road?
There's no good place to eat in this neighbourhood.
They're all so expensive. I can easily spend ten dollars on food.
Even if it costs you 10 or 100 dollars,
you still need to eat decent food.
What will you do with the money that you make?
What's wrong with instant noodles?
It's good as long as I've something to eat.
Please!
I'm being treated this way because of you.
Ji-sub! What's wrong with him?
Mr Han, did you see Manager Han leave?
He just left. What is it?
Where did he head to?
He just left in his car.
(Min Kyung-chae)
Pick up your phone, Ji-sub.
Your call is being forwarded to voice mail...
Ji-sub, I know you're not in the mood to answer your phone.
But can we please talk?
Please call me when you get this message.
I beg of you, Ji-sub.
Ji-sub?
Did Ms Min just call him by first his name?
Could this mean they are...
Why are you still up? It's late.
How can I sleep right now?
Did you have a good time with him?
Dad, I really don't want to get married this way.
This way? What's wrong with this way?
It's a marriage without love.
Who's asking you to marry without love?
I'm not saying you should only look at what they can offer.
That's just one of the many aspects.
Dad, I...
Don't you know how hard I worked my way up to this position?
You know I started off as a bellboy at this hotel.
I didn't only work hard.
I'm embarrassed to say this, but I've done all kinds of things.
I don't want you to live like that.
Power is not only needed to take things away from people.
You need power to keep what you have.
I know what you mean but...
You know the board is always looking for ways to control us.
Without strong support, you won't be able to keep the hotel.
So just listen to me.
What happened? Did Mr Min scold you?
I had a blind date with the Youngin Group's son.
And? You didn't like him?
It's not that. Ji-sub came by.
I don't know how he found out.
You're right. I wonder how.
I'm sure he feels betrayed. I understand him.
I don't know how I'm going to explain this to him.
You can think about that later. Rest for today.
You look tired. Why don't you lie down? Come on.
I guess he didn't come in today. It's not like him to do this.
Come on!
If you're not going to pick up the phone, then turn it off.
It's so irritating.
I'm sure you called in sick today because you had a plan.
So why don't you go out rather than just staying in?
You hang out at the hotel even on your off day.
You'd even run out for the hotel at any time.
Just ignore me.
Then help me to ignore you!
What if I fail this test?
I was going to call you.
Thank you for giving me a ring first.
So what did your son say about my daughter?
Really? Then we shouldn't wait too long.
You know I'm just counting the days...
for the two families to unite in marriage.
Yes, let's get together some time soon. Bye.
You must really like the man Kyung-chae met.
He's the second son of Youngin Group.
There's no reason not to.
Isn't Youngin Group one of the 10 biggest companies in our country?
It is.
My son-in-law must be nothing less than that.
But what if Kyung-chae is already seeing someone?
If she is, he's probably either full of ambition or just fearless.
It's one or the other.
I'm not kind enough to give such guys any chance.
I see.
How much can you give me?
About 1,000 dollars?
1,000 dollars?
Why? You can't?
That's not good. The make-up was so expensive.
Please offer me a generous amount.
I'm really desperate.
I think its value is at least 100,000 dollars.
100,000 dollars?
Goodness.
Gong Bok-ja!
You're in big trouble!
Why don't you go to his house rather than calling him all day?
I want to, but I don't know where he lives.
How can you not know where your boyfriend lives?
I'm beginning to wonder how much I really know about him too.
I know his name, his job as the general manager here,
and that he's diligent and responsible.
That's something everybody knows.
He must have shared something special about him to you.
I thought you loved him.
It's not enough to know everything about him, but...
it seems you don't know anything.
Don't you know what his dream is or how he wants to live?
And how he's lived his life?
That's what frustrates me.
Does that even give you the right to love him?
There are people who get a job just to be near the one they love.
They are encouraged by everything their love says.
And their love gives them the strength to go on.
That's what love is.
Hee-soo.
What if someone claims to love Ji-sub more than you?
What are you going to do then? Such a person might step up.
I've never thought about it so I'm not sure.
Perhaps you can start thinking about it now.
Even if you think your love is forever, no love lasts forever.
What is it?
Why are you peeking in my room?
I'm not peeking. I was just looking.
For the reception dinner,
I'm thinking of doing a complete Italian package.
It'll offer Italian culture, tradition, and even popular arts.
It will come with appropriate table settings and atmosphere.
That sounds good. Please pursue it.
What's wrong? You don't look too well.
Do you have... You know...
Food that can make people feel better.
Of course!
There are foods that can heal your heart and body.
Then, is there food that can undo a misunderstanding?
Pardon?
It's nothing. I'm sorry I brought it up. You can go back to work.
I guess someone is upset with you. Is it Mr Han?
I don't know what happened, but rather than giving excuses,
try telling the truth.
Honesty is the best policy.
If he still doesn't accept the truth,
then it's his problem.
Did anything happen at the hotel?
The vice president was just out of it today.
It's probably because of her love life.
Love life? Is she seeing someone?
Ridiculous.
She hasn't been appointed as the vice president that long.
How does she have the time to date someone?
Soo-hyuk. Didn't you have something going on with her?
Didn't I tell you to stop talking nonsense?
Don't come to the hotel and cause trouble.
Why did you act like you were my lover and get me in trouble?
What?
You must have pulled a prank on him again.
Soo-hyuk.
If you really don't want to manage the hotel, I won't force you.
But once I find the right person,
I'm going to support that person all the way.
It's better to do that...
than to place someone who's not suitable for the position.
Grandma, you have me!
I'm confident I'll do a good job as the CEO of the hotel.
She thinks the hotel is really ours because you're always saying that.
It's not completely untrue.
If grandpa didn't lose it to Kyung-chae's grandpa,
the hotel would've still been ours.
In the West, even presidents can be impeached if they're no good.
A vice president of a hotel is not even an issue.
But what if Kyung-chae is already seeing someone?
If she is, he's probably either full of ambition or just fearless.
I'm not kind enough to give such guys any chance.
Ji-sub, please come here.
What is your relationship with Miss...
I mean, the vice president?
Why do you ask?
If you have feelings for Ms Min, I want you to give it up.
Hey. One must live within their means.
When you try to strive above your means...
So are you happy living within your means?
Don't you want to soar at least once in your life even if you fall?
You can't even support me like other parents.
What did you say?
Listen to me carefully.
I'm never going to live like you.
Watch how high I can soar with my life.
I'm home!
What's with him?
Are you having a drink, Dad?
Then let me have a drink too.
What do you mean let you have a drink?
Am I your friend? These boys...
You came to work today.
I'm so glad.
I was worried you might not show up.
It was dad's decision to meet with the son of Youngin Group.
It has nothing to do with my feelings or intention.
That doesn't mean you can keep this up.
It directly affects us.
You and me.
Dad thinks my support...
at the hotel is weak.
He says I need the support of Youngin Group.
If I perform well as the vice president,
my dad will change his mind.
Can you wait for me and try to understand me?
That's the only way we can keep this relationship.
I beg you, Ji-sub.
Ji-sub.
I understand.
It must be hard for you to go out on blind dates against your will.
I'm sure it's stressful for you too.
You don't have to worry about me.
That will make it too hard for you.
You're so full of love and understanding.
Do you know how worried I was?
I thought you were going to break up with me.
Did you think my love for you was that shallow?
Can I ask you something?
How did you know about the meeting?
I wondered about that too.
I got a text from an unfamiliar number.
But when I called it was a stranger.
He said the front desk charged his phone for him.
Really?
That's pretty strange. Who could it be?
Why did you buy so much food?
It's Eun-chae's birthday tomorrow.
I need to make seaweed soup. So I need to prepare.
I guess we will have a feast tomorrow!
Please watch it.
Mrs Yeo gets really sensitive at this time of the year.
Didn't I tell you?
She became handicapped having Eun-chae.
Right!
Really? Is it your birthday tomorrow?
Yes.
Wow! Happy birthday!
But...
I cannot be congratulated.
What do you mean?
Why can't you be congratulated on your birthday?
Because I'm stupid.
My mum is sad because of me.
My mum is unhappy because I'm stupid.
Because she gave birth to a dummy.
What do you mean?
No mum would be unhappy about her child.
It's because...
I'm stupid.
The way I see it, you're not stupid at all.
The people who think that way are the real idiots.
Why do you laugh like that?
I can't forget it because it comes around every year.
There are things even I can't do.
Mrs Han. Mrs Han!
Yes, did you call me?
Did you touch my things?
Your things? No, I didn't.
Then why is my jewellery box open?
Did you open it?
You know I always ask before I clean your things.
So I didn't.
Then who did this? Who touched this?
Are you missing anything?
I'm missing a ring. My diamond ring.
Mrs Han, call the lady upstairs.
Please come out here.
What is it? Are you calling for me?
It's you, isn't it?
What do you mean?
You're so bold.
Do you even know the worth of that ring?
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
My ring! The ring in my jewellery box.
What did you do with it?
Why do you suspect me? I'm such an honest person.
I don't steal other people's things.
It's really not you?
No, it's not me.
Are you sure?
Mrs Han, search their room.
Yes, Mrs Yeo.
What are you doing?
This is so rude.
Stop it, that's enough!
I thought you loved him.
It's not enough to know everything about him.
But you don't know anything about him?
Don't you know what his dream is or how he wants to live?
And how he's lived his life?
Does that even give you the right to love him?
She's right. Hee-soo is right.
I'm glad you came. Please sit down.
What is it?
Where do you live? How many siblings do you have?
You said your father has a business, right?
What's wrong? Why do you ask?
I feel like I don't know much about you.
If I were you, I'd ask about the surprise party that you had missed.
I forgot all about it. What was the event about?
Now you're curious?
What was it?
Mr Han.
Why are you here?
If you've time tonight, I'd like you to meet with you alone.
I want to tell you about the new item...
I have a prior engagement.
Mr Han.
May I ask you a question?
Are you avoiding me on purpose?
Why should I avoid you?
If you're not...
Is it about me turning down your offers to dinner,
drinks, and the movies?
Don't couples usually do that?
I'm nothing more than your superior and you just work under me.
Then we'll never be able to do that?
Probably not.
Because we'll never be in that kind of relationship.
Han Ji-sub.
Don't be too sure. Never say never.
Who knows what may happen?
Aren't you being too much?
Just because I'm poor, you accuse me of stealing.
I guess you're not the fool I thought you were.
You knew it'd be found if you hide it in the room.
So you were trying to be smart. Mrs Han, strip her down.
What? Strip her down?
What are you waiting for?
If she didn't hide it in the room, she must be hiding it on herself.
Strip her down.
But that's...
Then did you take it?
Did you take my ring?
This is so outrageous! What are you doing?
Take everything off!
Why are you doing this to me?
Are you out of your mind?
What is going on here?
Mr Min.
Mrs Han, what are you doing?
Mrs Yeo told me to...
Why aren't you stripping her down?
What are you doing?
She stole my ring.
What are you talking about? Put your clothes on.
Mrs Han, take off her underwear, too.
I know she has it on her.
Can you come to your senses?
Come to my senses?
I just lost my diamond ring.
How can I come to my senses? How can I be in my right mind?
How can you say that in this situation?
I'm sure you have it somewhere. Are you sure you didn't misplace it?
Even if you didn't, how can you do this to her?
Did you drink again?
If you did, just go in and sleep.
Don't cause any trouble.
You think I'm making trouble over nothing, right?
Take her side if you're going to divorce me!
Welcome.
Ji-sub!
I brought Hee-soo.
She didn't want to come but I made her.
I wanted to celebrate her getting hired.
It's okay, right?
Of course. I'm glad you're here.
See. I told you he wouldn't mind.
We decided to be friends.
The three of us are tied by fate in special ways.
I met Hee-soo through the car accident.
Ji-sub met Hee-soo to take care of it.
And now, all of us are working at the same hotel.
I think I should get going. I feel like I'm in the way.
We're here to congratulate your being hired.
You can't leave us. You're the guest of honour.
Excuse me. It's time now.
Why don't you start what you've prepared?
Did you prepare for something?
What is it?
Hello?
Are you okay? Ma'am!
If you have a certain goal, there's always a way to achieve it.
Was this the surprise event for that weekend?
I didn't even know.
I feel so bad.
What are you waiting for? Put it on for me.
Hee-soo is the first person I told about our relationship.
And she kept it a secret for us. She's such a great friend.
She's the only one who knows about us.
It'll be great if she stands as the witness to our love.
Hee-soo, can you be the witness to our love?
You can be the watchdog in case either of us...
fools around or betrays the other.
If we do, then you can even scold us.
How about it? Can you? You're my friend.
Of course.
I'll be the witness to your love.
I'm so happy! This is the best day of my life!
I got proposed in front of my best friend.
Madame Gong. What are you doing here?
Hee-soo!
Why are you out here? Why aren't you inside?
I'm not out here of my own will.
I got kicked out.
Why did you get kicked out? What do you mean?
Mrs Yeo kicked me out.
How long have you been out here?
I'm not sure.
My leg...
I'm so hungry. I didn't even get to eat yet.
I was so dizzy because my blood sugar level dropped.
You shouldn't have come out.
What can I do when the owner kicks me out?
Who is the owner? Who can kick us out?
I'm going to take everything from them.
This house, the hotel, and even Han Ji-sub.
I'm going to take everything away.
