(The Women's Room)
(Episode 57)
If you're the vice president, then behave like one.
How dare you treat your guest this way?
What did you say?
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 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.
I didn't know I'd bump into you here.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Eun Hee-soo, the vice president of the Mona Lisa Hotel.
She's the vice president?
Then what about you?
She was fired for causing damage to the hotel.
If you haven't signed the contract with Grace Hotel yet,
please sign with us.
I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.
Our hotel is going to open a shopping arcade.
An offer I can't refuse?
I'm just a businesswoman who takes the better offer.
Will you come to my office to talk more about this?
I would love to, but I'm having some personal time right now.
Let's do that later.
I see.
If you give me your contact info...
I don't give out my info to just anyone.
Why don't you sit down?
Let's continue our conversation.
Is it okay for Kyung-chae to have her seat?
You were rather bullish before.
Of course.
Please enjoy your time.
I'll be leaving then.
She doesn't give her contact info to anyone?
What's her relationship with Kyung-chae?
So that woman took over your position...
and is in charge of the hotel?
How can that be?
I thought she was your friend?
She's the worst I've seen!
Here's your Happy Pasta.
Please enjoy.
You seem like a good man.
I think you'll make a good husband for Kyung-chae.
That's my dream.
To be a good husband to Kyung-chae.
I'm jealous.
Let me try.
This is it!
Aren't you going back to the hotel?
Your life here doesn't look bad but...
You need to get what's rightfully yours...
and punish those who deserve it.
If you leave her alone, she'll think what she's doing is right.
I know, but I don't have a way to go back.
Do you have soju?
I need soju with my pasta.
- I'll go get it. - Thank you.
Would you go back if there was a way?
If there's a way, sure.
I can't find Monica Kim.
She's in Korea, so should I call the head office...
There's no need.
I met her.
You met her?
How?
She was at the hotel.
Here?
Why would she be here instead of at Grace Hotel?
Did you contact her?
She came to meet Kyung-chae.
Kyung-chae?
They seemed close.
This means I need Kyung-chae to work on Monica Kim.
What do you think about what she said?
About returning to the hotel?
You shouldn't worry about the restaurant.
You're a great partner but I don't think you belong here.
It's not because I want to reclaim my position.
I know how you feel.
I'm proud of you for standing tall up to now.
It's not easy to be still standing after what you went through.
I know you're working here for Mr Min and Eun-chae.
But I know the hotel is always on your mind.
Soo-hyuk...
You said you're holding on...
just waiting for that day to return to the hotel.
I'm not asking you to get your vice president position back.
Reveal Hee-soo's evil deeds and stop her from continuing on her path.
You know she's up to no good.
How did you do it?
How did you forgive the ones who killed your parents?
I got something better.
Something better?
Perhaps it was easier because it was based on assumption.
But it wasn't easy.
It must've been hard even if you only had an assumption.
Thank you for bearing it out.
I don't know who it was but let me apologise on his behalf.
No, I should thank you.
You need to get what's rightfully yours...
and punish those who deserve it.
If you leave her alone, she'll think what she's doing is right.
I'm not asking you to get your vice president position back.
Reveal Hee-soo's evil deeds and stop her from continuing on her path.
What did you say?
Hee-soo...
did it.
Hee...
What's wrong?
Why can't you sleep?
Don't you remember mum?
Do you really not remember anything?
Not yet.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
I just feel guilty towards mum.
For not being able to do anything for her.
When my memory comes back,
tell me what's been happening.
Right now, it only confuses me.
Until then, keep it to yourself.
I'm sorry for putting everything on your shoulders.
Dad...
No, Mrs Yeo! It's not that.
No, that's not it.
Hee-soo didn't do it.
Mrs Yeo.
I'm sorry, Mrs Yeo!
I'm really sorry, Mrs Yeo!
What a nightmare!
What's this?
Oh my goodness.
Aren't these herbal tonics?
Let me...
Why are you drinking this?
I just had a nightmare because I'm feeble.
Why would a widow drink a tonic for conception?
A tonic for conception?
Is this for Hee-soo?
Do you think it's for me?
How many did you drink?
This was so expensive.
About Monica Kim,
what if she signs with Grace Hotel?
Why don't you ask Kyung-chae to help you?
Do you want me to go down on my knees?
We have no other options.
You said they seemed close.
You said Kyung-chae was the only one who can work on Monica Kim.
So what do you want me to do?
Do you think Kyung-chae will help me?
Don't get upset.
If the shopping arcade fails,
we should just work on sales strategies.
Am I doing this because I don't have any strategies?
That's just not good enough.
They'll compare me with Grace Hotel who got started on this business.
But if we make offers that are too big...
What do you know?
As the general manager, you've been in charge...
of only some parts of the hotel.
What do you know about running a hotel?
It was me who got in contact with Monica Kim.
You lost her when you were at the airport all day.
But you don't even have her contact info.
What if she doesn't call?
She's not calling me even after I mentioned an offer she can't refuse.
Kyung-chae must be meddling.
I know I'm right.
She thinks she's all that!
Hi.
You're right on time.
I was going to take it up to you.
Drink it up.
I have to go get something.
Do you know what that tonic is?
It's for conception.
- Hey! - What did you say?
When you're drinking it, you should...
What are you doing?
Are you crazy? Why are you dumping it?
What's wrong with you?
You said it was herbal tonic.
It is herbal...
What are you doing?
Stop that!
Stop it!
Hey!
What's going on again?
- What happened? - Goodness.
How could you!
How dare you dump the medicine your mother-in-law got for you?
Do you still call yourself human?
A member of the Han family?
What's wrong with you?
She thinks I'm nothing to her.
I've never seen an impudent girl like you!
- Ji-sub, help me get her out. - Yes.
Sure.
You'll be punished for this.
You'll end up with a daughter-in-law like you and...
be paid back for all of this.
You rude little brat!
Stop it!
Get in!
Please stop this!
Goodness!
How dare she dump that expensive medicine!
Why didn't you stop when I told you to stop!
There's never been any peace in this household!
You're causing trouble every day!
Aren't you furious?
How can you not be on my side for having to take this from Hee-soo?
This doesn't call for taking sides!
You should've stopped when I told you to stop!
I won't let this go.
I'll show you what I'm made of!
Stop it!
Goodness.
I said stop!
Hey!
Do whatever you want!
Goodness.
No sleep again tonight.
Oh my goodness.
You didn't have to dump it.
Who else would drink that?
My mum or your mum?
It had to be dumped.
What's wrong with your mum?
She's being too much!
I'm stressed with the hotel,
yet she's just giving me such a hard time!
Hee-soo!
Mum!
Did you just hit me in the face?
What's wrong with you?
If you thought of me as your mother, you wouldn't dare dump that tonic.
Why did you do such a useless thing?
Just don't do anything.
Not a thing!
Why is that useless?
Is it a sin to expect grandchildren?
I told you we've no plans to have children yet.
How can I have a baby to please you when I'm a career woman?
I don't care what your plans are.
Once you're married, you have to produce kids.
So make a baby!
It's an order!
I can't do that!
It's my life!
Stop!
Stop it!
Stop it, Mum!
You too!
What a life!
Let me breathe a little!
It's a battle every day!
I brought them all out because I was so frustrated.
It hurts my pride to beg her to drink this when she detests it.
What got you upset today?
You didn't hear the commotion last night?
Did something happen?
Well, we seem to have something happen daily.
Your mum gave Hee-soo a tonic for conception...
and there was a big scene.
Hee-soo won't drink it so your mum brought it out.
That's what happened?
Why didn't I hear anything?
I tell you again.
You're so lucky to be a deep sleeper living in that house.
You said this was for conception!
Why are you drinking it?
Does this mean I can hope for a younger sibling?
Cut it out.
Who knows since she's drinking this up?
Dad, go for it!
Don't be silly.
Stop drinking.
How many children are you looking to have at your age?
I'm going to drink it all.
Drink it, Mum.
Are you going to name him Sub-sub?
Grace Hotel is so sure of signing the contract with Lubyni.
Can we just sit around like this?
Monica Kim said she'll look into our offer.
You got in contact with Monica Kim?
That's better than I thought.
What do you mean?
It's not like you studied abroad and went to school with her.
You're not exposed to brand-name products either.
I'm sure Kyung-chae could've worked with her connections.
She's soft-hearted but has the capability to get this done.
Look at you...
What did you say?
I guess Min Kyung-chae was talented with many virtues.
Director Oh!
Let me hear your plans to get Lubyni to sign the contract with us.
What have you got up your sleeves?
Who knows if I may be helpful?
Just be ready to applaud when I bring you the contract.
Really?
I look forward to it.
Kyung-chae is talented with many virtues?
He was once dying to get her out!
Welcome!
The future of the Mona Lisa Hotel depends on this shopping arcade.
So what?
If Lubyni doesn't sign the contract with us, this business will fold.
Try to persuade Monica Kim.
Why should I?
Don't you know the damage you've caused the hotel?
That's why I left and you took over my position.
You take care of this.
Min Kyung-chae.
I was fired and my bank accounts are frozen.
Do you know how it feels...
to have no money to buy food for your hungry sister?
How it feels to watch my dad with amnesia walk you down the aisle?
If you need a favour, ask appropriately.
Who knows if I'll do it out of pity?
You want me to go down on my knees?
I'm sure you don't know how to ask for favours.
You're only used to taking things away.
Min Kyung-chae.
You must've been desperate to have come to me.
You take care of this.
What is there that you can't do?
Does anything even scare you?
You're not afraid of the gods, the world, and even people.
Are you controlling Monica Kim?
Are you keeping her from signing the contract with us?
What did you say?
If you're using your background to get back at me...
I'm not one to be swayed by anyone's background.
Does Kyung-chae have a reason to get back at you?
It's not that.
It sounded like there was.
I'm thinking of a 50-50 profit share between Lubyni and the hotel.
It's not good.
Really?
I'm sure it's better than Grace Hotel's offer.
How about 60-40?
I don't like it.
You don't like it?
How about 70-30?
I can do more.
The oranges are not organic.
They juiced it too much.
I like to have some pulp.
You said you can do more than 70-30?
That's not bad.
It's beyond "not bad".
It's unprecedented.
If you agree, I'll get the contract ready.
Will the board allow this when...
it's a losing contract for the hotel?
I'll take care of that.
What is your relationship with Kyung-chae?
We were roommates while studying abroad.
She helped me pay for tuition and expenses.
She even helped me with my part-time job.
People can be nice but it's not easy to be like her.
There is an end to one's goodness.
It may seem beneficial in the short run to resort to evil ways.
But you're only digging your own grave.
I'll get the appropriate documents ready...
since you're interested in our offer.
You're so impatient.
How could she offer that?
There's no reason for me to reject this offer.
But it will hurt the hotel.
That doesn't make sense.
With that offer, they might as well fold this business.
It won't be easy to get the board to approve, but she sounded confident.
I think she's hiding something up her sleeves.
What if something bad happens to the hotel?
Such a contract will chain the hotel down.
Although people may talk about their immediate success...
Have you decided?
I'll be going back to Italy soon.
We're losing too much on that contract.
I know.
The board will never allow it.
I'm going to make a double contract.
I'll just get the contract signed...
and then keep a different ledger for the sales.
A double contract and a double ledger?
The board will not let me be if this folds since...
I lost Jin Soo-hyuk as well.
I'm just a thorn in their sides because I was given...
this vice president position.
But this is too risky.
- If things go wrong... - This is not risky.
What's risky is losing this position and...
going back to how things used to be.
That's placing your position on the line.
This position is my life.
I won't lose it without a fight.
Have you ever risked your life for something?
I risked my life for this position.
I even walked into a fire for this.
Fire?
I've never gotten anything for free.
I always had to bet everything I had.
The same goes for you.
I bet all I had to get you.
Even this position.
It's Kyung-chae who got everything without working for it.
She got her parents, house, and this position for free.
It's only right she loses them.
Do you get it now?
She walked into a fire to get her position?
Could she be referring to the fire at Mr Min house?
She became the vice president as a reward for that?
Then she caused the fire?
No way.
It can't be.
But it will hurt the hotel.
It won't be easy to get the board to approve,
but she sounded confident.
I think she's hiding something up her sleeves.
A penny for your thought.
Are you thinking of me?
Do you miss me even when you see me?
I do.
I do miss you even when I see you.
You just recharged my energy!
Hold on.
What's up?
What's wrong with you?
Grandma has been refusing to eat for days!
Why?
Why won't she eat?
I got it. I'll be right there.
Is your grandmother not well?
I'll have to go to find out but I'm sure it's nothing serious.
Let me go with you.
I'm here, Grandma.
Kyung-chae is here too.
Please sit down.
How have you been?
How dare you come here?
Cut it out.
I heard you haven't been eating so I made this for you.
Get out right now.
How dare you come here!
- Grandma. - You want to marry into my family?
You need to fear the heavens.
You're someone who can never be part of the Jin family.
And now you're breaking my ties with Soo-hyuk!
How dare you come here!
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
You're Min Dong-chul's daughter, all right!
Like father, like daughter!
I won't eat this!
Excuse me.
What's wrong with you, Grandma?
Kyung-chae! Kyung-chae!
Grandma!
Are you okay, Grandma?
Grandma!
What happened to you, Kyung-chae?
What happened?
Are you okay, Kyung-chae?
I'm fine.
What happened now?
Use this.
Where's Soo-hyuk?
I know you went out with him.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
You're Min Dong-chul's daughter, all right!
Do you know Soo-hyuk's grandmother?
Her name is Na Hae-geum.
Na Hae-geum?
I don't know her.
Did she say she knows me?
You really don't know her, right?
There isn't anything bad between you and her, right?
There isn't.
I know I'm not a good person.
I heard I did some illegal things...
when I was the president of the hotel.
I know you got fired because of me.
But I'm sure I didn't do any other evil things.
If I did,
the gods wouldn't have gifted me with such beautiful daughters.
He's right. Daddy is a good person.
He's not evil.
I'm sure you're right.
Yes.
Right.
This can only happen over my dead body.
Grandma.
Do whatever you want if you want to see me die!
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
Are you still going to marry her?
Soo-hyuk.
You must've been shocked.
I'm sorry I had to let you go like that.
Don't worry about me.
How is your grandmother?
She calmed down and even ate a meal.
I'm glad to hear that.
I think I need to stay with her tonight.
I'll come tomorrow.
Yes, please stay with her.
Monica Kim.
I'm sure she'll call for that offer.
I'm sure she knows what benefits her.
Is your grandmother really okay?
How many times do I have to tell you?
She has regained her strength and is even eating.
I think we need to come up with another new menu item.
One doesn't seem enough.
Yes.
I'm Soo-hyuk's grandmother so just say yes or no if he's next to you.
Yes, Ma'am.
Can I see you?
Can you come to my place?
Yes, Ma'am.
I'm sorry to have upset you by coming without...
even calling yesterday.
Are you going to marry Soo-hyuk?
I know I'm not good enough but I'll try hard.
What if I've a reason why you two can never be married?
Will you give up then?
What do you mean?
Min Dong-chul.
Your dad killed my son and his wife 25 years ago.
To Soo-hyuk, you're the daughter of the enemy who killed his parents.
Do you still think this marriage is possible?
