(The Women's Room)
(Episode 56)
I came to check on something.
Did you ask to see Ji-sub last night?
Did you ask to see my man?
Tell me.
Did you seduce him?
I need to find out the truth today.
Why aren't you coming in?
Is that what he said?
That I called for him?
Tell her the truth.
You asked to see me last night.
I was dragged out last night.
She said she'd take me back if I divorce you.
I just can't take this anymore.
I can see that you're trying to save your skin.
But telling such lies just to survive is so pathetic.
You're the one who's been pestering her.
Do you want to know what he's been up to?
It'll be embarrassing for you to...
live with him after you hear everything.
Are you really a man?
Are you really?
Watch what you say.
This is none of your business.
I don't want to meddle either but you're making me.
Why do you keep pestering Kyung-chae?
Are you crazy or do you still have feelings for her?
Are you sorry that you let her go or do you feel like you made a mistake?
I guess your marriage is unhappy enough for you...
to pester the woman you betrayed.
You jerk!
Don't you dare touch my man!
I'm going to marry Soo-hyuk.
You're doing what?
You're marrying him?
That's right.
I'm thinking of doing it at the Mona Lisa Hotel.
You'll marry him?
Who says you can do that?
Did you just see that?
That's how your man is.
You little...
Don't even try!
Take your man with you.
Take him and educate him.
He's really been pestering me.
Min Kyung-chae!
Leave before I call the police!
Leave if you don't want to be arrested...
for disrupting our business.
Min Kyung-chae.
How could you do this?
You've changed so much!
That's a great feeling!
You said I need to protect what's precious to me.
I didn't know you were so brave and outspoken!
I'm that precious to you?
Aren't I that precious to you?
I thought I was.
Of course you are.
You're more precious than myself.
You went to see her first?
I didn't go to her first.
Don't you believe me?
Why would I go to her?
She's lying.
Can't you tell?
I know Kyung-chae better than you.
I chose you and I'm holding back...
because I don't want people to think I've failed.
Don't get me more upset.
I got it.
Calm down.
What was that reaction to the news of Kyung-chae getting married?
Why were you surprised?
Were you that shocked by it?
Was I?
I wasn't shocked.
She just blurted it out so suddenly.
Do you still have feelings for her?
Don't even say that.
You slapped me, but I'm letting it go because it's between us.
But if another woman comes between us, that's it for us.
I understand, so calm down.
I told you that I'll perfect this marriage.
Everyone will envy me for my perfect family and job.
You are just part of my plans.
I have her position, her house...
and even walked down the aisle with her father.
I need to be happier than Kyung-chae!
That's my plan.
Are we really going to get married at the Mona Lisa Hotel?
It just came out in anger.
Let's really get married there.
Just to frustrate them to death.
Let's just do it small and private.
It doesn't matter to me how it's done.
Let's just get this done.
Let's go ask your father for his blessings.
What's that look?
Why is Se-ra coming to my mind?
Se-ra...
You're so mean.
Okay, let's go to my dad.
But shouldn't we go to your grandma first?
My grandma?
I heard the restaurant sales are plummeting.
I guess the new chef needs time to adjust.
I heard the board asked to rehire Chef Jin.
Are you going to hire him back?
I don't think that's possible.
I think he's going to marry Kyung-chae soon.
What?
He's getting married soon?
Yes, that's what I heard.
I think they've already decided it.
How dare they decide on their own!
You seem on edge about Jin Soo-hyuk.
It's as if he's your own grandson.
What are you trying to say?
Your reactions seem rather personal.
I know many people love his food.
But I'm beginning to wonder...
if you have a personal relationship with him.
That's none of your business.
So they're going to get married?
I'm trying to calm myself but it's not working!
I can't just let this go.
How dare he hit my daughter?
Wait till he comes home.
Why, I'll just...
We're home.
I'm so glad to see you.
Let's talk.
What's this about?
Don't you know?
I just couldn't calm myself down no matter what I tried.
I didn't even enjoy playing cards!
I heard you hit my daughter last night.
How dare you hit her when it's not enough for you to worship her!
Have you lost your mind?
That's not how it was...
What's going on?
Who hit who?
Your son slapped my daughter in the face!
I'm sure he had his reasons.
Something must've pushed him over.
What did you say?
Are you saying he did a good thing?
I'm not saying that.
I just think he had his reasons.
This is not a big deal, Mum.
If this is not a big deal, then what is?
Let me go!
I need to talk to him!
You little...
Did you really slap Hee-soo?
What did you say?
You stupid boy!
What does this make me?
I was going to hash it out with Hee-soo tonight.
How dare she take down the amulets!
Don't put things like that in our room.
We're not going to have a baby for a while.
Why not?
That's just what we've decided.
Why would a healthy couple not have babies?
Are you...
What?
It's not that.
What a thing to say!
That's just what she wants and I agreed.
Do you think that all is okay with Ji-sub?
You don't suppose...
What is wrong with you?
Can't you tell just by looking?
Your son is healthy as a horse.
But is it true that he hit Hee-soo?
I'm not sure.
I was going to just let her have it today,
but I can't do anything because of that.
I couldn't even play my card games because I was so upset with him.
He begged for forgiveness.
He promised never to do it again.
Do you believe his words?
So he wants you to know he's a man?
Who does he think he's dealing with?
It's not just card games where you need right matches.
The same is true for our lives.
I didn't like him from the beginning when he dumped Kyung-chae.
Divorce him!
Don't worry. I won't let this fail.
You know how I came to this point.
If I end it now, I'm only doing Kyung-chae a favour.
He's no good.
He's betrayed once.
He can surely do it again.
Why live with such a man?
Divorce him!
Mum!
Mr Min.
I mean...
Father.
We are going to get married.
Please give us your blessing.
What?
You're going to get married?
Are you really going to get married, Kyung-chae?
Then Mr Soo-hyuk will become our family.
So call me brother-in-law from now on.
Okay?
Should I call him brother-in-law from now on?
Yes, you should.
We'll live happily after we get married.
We'll have as many children we can and take care of the restaurant too.
Goodness.
Thank you.
You made a good decision.
You really look good together.
Don't worry about Eun-chae and me.
We'll take care of ourselves.
You just think about yourselves.
We can't do that.
You're precious to Kyung-chae so you're precious to me, too.
You should go in since it's cold.
I think father seemed happy about this.
Thank you for loving me who has nothing to give you.
It wasn't easy for me to love you.
I can't tell you now but it wasn't easy.
So I contemplated giving up on you.
But I realised that it's harder not to love you.
It's not that I love you but that I couldn't help but love you.
Go on in. Your father must be worried.
You go first.
I'll go in afterwards.
I will go then.
See you tomorrow.
What do you want, Director Oh?
I spoke to Chef Jin last night.
He said he doesn't want to return to the hotel because of you.
He said that?
The value of a person is felt most when they're gone.
I didn't fire him.
You did push him over the edge.
You just don't have the sense to know who's essential for the hotel.
You know our restaurant features no specialty.
If Chef Jin were here, he would have raised the sales.
We can make up for the low sales in other ways.
What other ways?
It's not like we're able to get duty-free shops at our hotel.
Don't worry about it.
If duty-free shops don't work out, we can start a shopping arcade.
A shopping arcade?
You're a step behind.
Grace Hotel has already started a shopping arcade.
Didn't you know they are ready to...
sign a contract with the brand-name shop Lubyni?
I can bring them to our hotel no matter what it takes.
If you're able to get Lubyni,
that would fast track our shopping arcade plans.
But it's not as easy as it may seem.
Why do you think Mr Min gave up on that business?
I will make it happen.
I will do it.
You shouldn't just say things out of frustration.
What if it's not frustration but competence?
We'll see.
Jin Soo-hyuk is a lost case.
But I've nothing against you bringing in Lubyni.
You should show me your competence...
if you don't want people saying you got that position by luck.
What is the matter with you?
What did I do this time?
Why didn't you tell me about Grace Hotel's shopping arcade?
I heard they're ready to sign the contract with Lubyni?
You didn't tell me to report on that.
Do I have to tell you everything?
I'm walking on eggshells with the falling sales at the hotel.
Can't you do things on your own to help me out?
Must I hear new about our competitors from Director Oh?
Do you think I have it easy?
I've been busy trying to raise the restaurant sales.
You've been busy but where are the results?
What do you want me to do?
We need to get that contract with Lubyni!
Why are you still standing there?
Aren't you going to meet the person in charge of Lubyni in Korea?
I'm going to!
It's time to call it a day.
We're out of ingredients.
I think we're soon going to be wealthy.
When will you take me to your grandmother?
Who knew the new menu item would hit it this big!
It's all thanks to the chef!
You're changing the topic.
How about your grandmother?
I'll meet her first and you can meet her later.
You must've been tired.
I'm sorry to make you work so hard before I even marry you.
- It's me. - Have you met the person in charge?
The person in charge will be flying in from Italy soon.
Her name is Monica Kim.
Come in and give me the details.
I will. I'm on my...
She just hung up on me.
My life is full of trouble but theirs seem to be full of love.
Welcome.
I'm not here to see you.
I just had some business in the area.
Are you really going to marry him?
It's none of your business.
You haven't even known him long enough to marry him.
I know you're not an honest man.
But shame on you for lying to save your skin.
It was for the peace of my family.
Peace gained through lies?
That's right. Your love is a lie, too.
I was genuine and desperate when I came to you that night.
What do you know?
Why are you doing this to me?
Do you think that marriage is easy?
Do you think you'll be happy with Jin Soo-hyuk who's so hard-headed?
You're wrong.
You'll regret it.
I won't regret it.
Don't worry.
You'll regret it! You will!
Kyung-chae's father has approved our marriage.
I'm going to marry Kyung-chae.
"Father"?
How can you refer to Min Dong-chul as a father?
You idiot!
Can you understand me for once?
I am just as pained by the death of my parents.
Then how can you marry Kyung-chae?
Because I want to be happy.
I can't be happy without her.
You can never marry her.
Mr Min has been punished enough already.
He wasn't punished for the pain he caused me!
He was punished for his wrong choices!
- You don't have any proof... - Get out!
I don't want to see you anymore!
End your ties with me and enjoy your life with Kyung-chae!
Soo-hyuk, it's been a long time...
Why is he just leaving?
What's wrong with you, Grandma?
Are you okay?
Grandma!
Are you okay?
That foolish boy is killing me.
What has he done?
He said he'll marry Kyung-chae.
What did you say?
You're here again.
It's like you're reporting to work.
I'm not here to see you.
You better not be.
You better not be here to see Kyung-chae, either.
Stop coming here.
This isn't a place for you.
You made Kyung-chae walk home that night.
When I think of that, it won't be enough to beat you up good.
If you betrayed her, don't look back.
This is just pathetic.
- What did you say? - What?
You don't want her but don't want to give her up to another man?
You dumped her but still have feelings for her?
Did you know?
It's not easy to end relationships.
It's easy to break up but it's not easy to stop the feelings.
Min Kyung-chae is cold to me but doesn't turn me down.
Don't you see it?
It's because words don't work with you.
Could that be it?
Listen to me, Jin Soo-hyuk.
No matter what you say, I spent more time with Kyung-chae.
I held her hands and hugged and kissed her more than you.
How dare...
What did your grandmother say?
She wasn't home.
Let's skip going to my grandma and set the date.
Han Ji-sub was here, right?
Yes.
Does it bother you?
He doesn't bother me a bit.
Only one thing bothers me.
We met so late that we didn't spend much time together.
My memories with him are meaningless to me.
I'm so excited just thinking about spending my future with you.
I can now crush him no matter what he says!
Wait till he comes by again.
This is medicine to help conception.
But you'll make Hee-soo take it by saying it's a tonic for her health?
What else can I do?
But they decided not to have kids yet.
This won't do it.
You bought herbal tonics for me because I'm working so hard!
It's not for you!
It's not for me?
Is it for Ji-sub?
You still favour him over me...
even when he treats you so badly.
That's not what it is.
This will decrease Hee-soo's energy and increase Ji-sub's energy.
What do you mean by that?
You shouldn't drink coffee at night.
Here, drink this.
What's this?
It's herbal tonic.
I didn't know you'd throw away all those expensive amulets.
You placing such things in my room is not acceptable.
It was for you.
It's not easy to have mother-in-law like me.
I agree.
It's not easy to have such a lousy mother-in-law.
You're not easy to deal with either.
How am I going to work on you?
Drink this.
Let's try to get along.
You want to get along, right?
Do you really want to get along with me?
Of course I do.
Ji-sub wouldn't have been reinstated if it weren't for you.
I'd never switch you for Kyung-chae!
Is that what you really think?
Is that why you said that I'm not as good as Kyung-chae?
That you should've let Ji-sub marry Kyung-chae?
Of course.
I'll just...
She acts superior to Ji-sub just because she's the vice president.
Here.
Drink this.
There you go.
Just get pregnant and see if you can act superior.
This tonic makes one conceive twins.
You'll suffer having to raise twins!
I had to quit the hotel because of you.
Your dad became the vice president,
and I am at home changing your dirty diapers!
Stop crying!
What's your problem?
You're not the only ones who are sad.
I want to cry, too!
There you go.
Hotel rooms, the restaurant, and the wedding halls!
Sales are dropping everywhere!
Monica Kim is arriving today, right?
She is but I think she'll sign with Grace Hotel.
Are you suggesting that we should let her?
We need to do what we can to change her mind!
I know. We should try.
What time is her flight?
All I know is she's arriving today.
All information on her is confidential.
Her secretary won't even tell me where she'll be staying.
Nothing is known about her except for the articles online.
So you're just going to wait around?
You need to go to the airport and wait all day until she arrives.
Then snatch her before Grace Hotel does.
And try to get her to sign the contract with us.
It's such a big contract.
Do you think that'll work?
Don't worry about that.
I'm going to make an unprecedented offer that Grace Hotel can't match.
I wonder what kind of person she is.
Hello?
Is this Min Kyung-chae's mobile phone?
Yes, this is Kyung-chae.
Your voice is still the same.
Don't you know who I am?
I'm not sure...
Are you Monica?
It's me, Monica.
Good to hear from you.
I'm in Korea so I thought I'd give you a call.
Where are you? We should meet.
Of course we should get together.
I'm at Mona Lisa Hotel.
Mona Lisa Hotel?
I'm not in the office.
I'm somewhere else.
I'll be right there.
Okay.
It must be a close friend.
She was my roommate when I was studying abroad.
I think I have to go and see her.
Did you find out anything?
I checked the names but there's no Monica Kim.
I think she used an alias.
I know she's in Korea now.
What's wrong with you?
How could you miss her when you were at the airport all day?
I was in front of the arrival gate all day.
You can't do anything right!
So she's here.
I need to get her to sign the contract with us.
Last I heard from Kyung-chae, she had become the vice president.
How long has it been?
Monica Kim.
She's the most influential person besides the owner of Lubyni.
If I get her, I can definitely get Lubyni.
It will lead our shopping arcade to success.
I have to get her.
Kyung-chae!
Monica!
How have you been? It's been so long!
Let me look at you.
It's Kyung-chae that I knew, right?
You're Monica, right?
Why do you look like this when you're the vice president?
Things happened.
You're still the same.
You shouldn't say I'm the same.
I spent too much money on me for you to say that.
You're so funny.
How have you been?
Good.
What's going on?
What is she doing here?
Hi, Ms Min!
- How have you been? - I've been great.
Hi, Ms Min!
How have you been?
How are you?
How are you, Ms Min?
I'm the same.
How dare they!
Why aren't you working?
What are you doing here?
How dare you come here! You can't come here.
It's none of your business.
I'm here as a guest.
Min Kyung-chae.
If I were you, I wouldn't dare come to this hotel for any reason.
Have you forgotten the damage you caused this hotel?
Get out right now.
If you're the vice president, then behave like one.
How dare you treat your guest this way?
What did you say?
Aren't you embarrassed to do this in front of other people?
More people are watching you rather than me.
I guess you gave up on keeping your composure.
You!
I think you're being too much.
Why don't you just go on your way rather than picking a fight?
I don't know who you are but you stay out of this.
I want to but you're ruining my teatime.
How dare you!
Are you Monica Kim?
Yes, I am Monica Kim.
