(The Women's Room)
(Episode 83)
What is this?
This is my letter of resignation.
I turned it in to Eun Hee-soo but she refused to accept it.
So I brought it to you.
What do you think you're doing?
Please process this.
If this is what you want.
Didn't I tell you not to do this?
Give that back to me.
What's important is what he wants.
Are you sure about this?
I can process it right now.
Please do that. Goodbye.
I reinstated him.
You can't process this without my permission.
I think you're mistaken.
I'm the CEO, not you.
You can't stop me if I want to process this.
You're out of line right now.
You may not think highly of me,
but the board appointed me as the CEO.
When the CEO position was vacant after Mr Min was terminated,
didn't you ever wonder why you weren't appointed as the CEO?
It's because not anyone can take this position.
Sure, you may be right.
I'm glad you know.
You're the CEO for now.
For now?
Do a better job while you have the position.
You may regret it later.
I told you not to resign.
Why did you turn in your resignation to Jin Soo-hyuk?
Are you really going to resign?
Do you think I'm joking?
Who reinstated you?
Don't you know who you have to thank for this position?
I know it's all thanks to you.
I was once grateful and didn't want to cross you.
But I now regret that I got to this point thanks to you...
rather than due to my own ability.
Mrs Na won't survive for long.
Do you think Jin Soo-hyuk can keep his position then?
So you want to be the CEO and make me the vice president?
Why can't I?
What more would you have to do to make that happen?
Let's just drop it.
I don't want it.
Ji-sub!
Mr Han turned in his resignation.
Eun Hee-soo was adamantly against it.
Are you going to process it?
I can't do it now without someone to replace him.
Meanwhile, Eun Hee-soo will do anything...
to get rid of me and take this position.
Especially now that she thinks my...
grandmother is in critical condition.
She'll do anything to make it happen.
She has the board under her control.
She may ask for a vote of confidence against you.
After she gets rid of me, she'll go after you.
That's her way.
With the two of us gone, she will rule this hotel.
We have to stop her before that happens.
We can't let her rule this hotel.
With Mrs Na in critical condition, this is my divine opportunity.
CEO of Mona Lisa Hotel, Eun Hee-soo.
That sounds good.
Can't we prosecute her for a fraudulent marriage?
My goodness!
How could she marry Ji-sub with such a horrible past behind her?
She's scary.
Stop it.
It's not a fraudulent marriage.
Ji-sub picked the wrong woman.
Hee-soo will hurt Ji-sub if we leave her alone.
What's taking Ji-sub so long to divorce her?
It should already have been set!
I think Hee-soo isn't agreeing to the divorce.
What?
How can she be so bold?
She's lucky to have people like us as her in-laws.
Other people would've prosecuted her!
What a fate Ji-sub has.
This is all because he made Kyung-chae suffer.
None of this would've happened if he'd married Kyung-chae!
Therefore, I'll never make my angel suffer.
Anyways, I'm so worried.
I hope nothing bad happens to Hee-soo.
Why would you worry about her?
How can anything good happen to her after what she did?
I was in such a rush that I didn't even bring my clothes.
I don't even have any clothes to change into.
Should I go back to get some clothes?
Hey. What happened?
Is everything okay?
I've been worried all day.
It feels like we're walking on thin ice everyday!
How much more can happen here? It can't get much worse.
What's wrong? Did anything happen?
At the hotel? Did something happen?
I told you to just forget about Ji-sub and focus on your work...
now that it has come to this!
No one can touch me at the hotel.
You know how I got that position.
Of course!
Don't ever show your weakness to anyone.
They'll try to drag you down.
Don't worry.
I won't let anyone ruin me.
Actually, it's an opportune time right now.
What are you going to do now with just the two of us here?
Let them leave if they want.
I tried to stop them.
I don't care.
Are you going to divorce him?
What if Ji-sub insists on it?
I'll divorce him when I want to.
One must have some peace of mind.
She may sound bold,
but I'm sure she's troubled with everyone moving out.
I feel delighted to be here alone.
I don't have to see them anymore.
It's been hard trying to please them.
It's better this way.
Han Ji-sub.
There's nothing you can do.
Whether it's a divorce or your resignation.
Nothing will go as you planned without my permission.
According to Mr Park from Mando Construction,
Eun Hee-soo is definitely receiving side money.
You can trust his word.
She couldn't have just taken the money.
I'm sure she didn't.
We need evidence but Eun Hee-soo wouldn't leave any trace behind.
She would have hid it really well.
It's hard to reveal this unless the one who gave the bribe confesses.
But they won't bring this up first.
Then we can come up with a situation...
where they'll have to reveal it first.
Do you have something in mind?
I think I do.
I'll need Soo-hyuk's help.
Really?
Why didn't Soo-hyuk come tonight?
He's probably meeting with Ji-sub right now.
Why did you want to see me of all people?
I didn't want to talk to you at the office.
It's about your resignation.
I don't think I can process it until I find a replacement.
It's not a position I can just give to anyone.
Then I'll work till you find someone.
It will have to be someone of your level at least.
I didn't know you thought so highly of me.
I thought you didn't like me.
I don't like you.
But I do acknowledge your abilities as a general manager.
Are things working out for you and Kyung-chae?
Now that there's no misunderstanding,
nothing can stop you.
It's been good as of now but I can't say what the future holds.
I envy you.
You have the potential and hope to make it happen.
There are those who can't do anything.
I thought you were going to quit right away. So why are you here?
I decided to work till they find a replacement.
It would be irresponsible for me to just leave.
I'm going to quit as soon as they find a replacement.
I think you'd want to stay when that time comes.
What do you mean?
I'll be the new CEO soon so you'll change your mind.
What are you going to do about your parents?
They're quite confused.
Don't bother them since they're still confused about what to do.
It seems like they want to turn me in.
Do you want to take action since Kyung-chae can't?
What's the point of you being punished...
if you don't show any remorse?
So no one will believe my word.
Your parents and Pil-sub, but especially your mother...
should be careful of what they say.
I won't stand for their slander.
Goodness! Why aren't you divorcing me when you're like this?
This is just my way...
of loving you.
I came up with a great idea while talking to my dad last night.
According to my dad's friend, Mando Construction definitely gave...
Hee-soo side money when she switched contractors.
Just as suspected.
But how can we prove that?
You should switch contractors again behind Hee-soo's back as the CEO.
Then Mando Construction won't let it slide.
That's right.
They gave side money to get the bid.
They'll expose giving the side money if they lose the contract.
You're awesome. How did you come up with this?
We can't let her run things.
You should switch contractors ASAP.
Don't worry about it.
I can do it right now.
Mando has a lot of issues so I have legitimate reasons.
I'm sure Hee-soo is concocting something.
We need to make a move first.
Anyone home?
Mrs Gong...
Whatever.
Have you gone somewhere?
My goodness!
Why are you back when you left as if you'd never return?
I came to get my clothes.
I was in a rush and forgot to take my things.
Are you happy to have moved out...
my in-law?
Wait a minute.
You're not my in-law anymore.
Are you happy to have moved out, Ji-sub's mum?
Yes, I'm elated with joy, Hee-soo's mum.
My goodness! You're so cold and cruel.
How can you be so cold when you...
think about the times we shared together?
Just get your things and leave!
That's what I intend to do.
What's this smell?
It smells like kalbi.
You sure have a sense of smell!
I'm making kalbi.
Hee-soo hasn't been eating well so I'm making some for her.
Kalbi is good for stimulating an appetite.
I don't know why I become hungry so quickly when I already ate.
Switching contractors is within my power.
You can't tell me what I can or can't do.
Reason? I got plenty.
You've shortened the construction time...
so I fear poor construction.
I also heard there were several accidents already.
Are they reason enough?
I know Eun Hee-soo personally hired you.
That's why I'm personally handling this.
There's no need for further discussion.
We're done with you as of today.
Goodbye.
Goodness. I thought you only wanted a glass of water.
You're eating everything.
Mrs Gong, I mean Bok-ja, I know you're not a great cook.
I'm just tasting it for you.
Right.
Did you sleep well after cursing out Hee-soo?
How could you say all that to such a kind and soft-hearted girl?
Hee-soo is not soft-hearted.
You know what she did.
My goodness! Who are you accusing?
What's wrong with you?
What did Hee-soo do wrong?
Mrs Gong, I mean Bok-ja, don't do that.
That won't erase what she did.
It's because we're so nice that we're just taking this.
Other in-laws would've turned her in.
Get out if you're going to talk nonsense!
Nonsense?
Did you say nonsense?
What else shall I call it then? You're stating the facts?
What did Hee-soo do wrong?
Isn't it enough that...
Hee-soo took such good care of your good-for-nothing family?
You should be thankful!
"Good-for-nothing"?
Hey! How could you say that?
How dare you say that when your daughter is so wicked and evil!
What?
You!
What?
You have no conscience.
Do you know how much it cost to feed your family here?
Fine! You want the money back?
I'll pay you back!
I'll pay you back with interest.
How much is it?
Whatever! You are so bold.
I know you're penniless! You can't even make a living!
Goodness! Do you think you're rich?
Good for you!
Hee-soo will soon become the CEO.
Then I'll have her fire Ji-sub.
Do you think anyone can become a CEO?
There's not a thing that didn't...
happen once Hee-soo set her mind to it.
What can't she do with her wickedness?
She's already done things that should never be done!
What did you say?
You!
You ate all the kalbi!
Honey.
Pil-sub.
What's wrong? What happened to you?
I'm so frustrated and upset.
Mum! Did you fight with someone?
Goodness! Mrs Gong did this to me.
Mrs Gong?
How dare she? Have they gone mad?
Why did you go there? Nothing good can come of it.
Shall we turn Hee-soo in?
She's got a list of crimes!
Stop it.
Just go and do your work.
She's still married to Ji-sub.
What do you mean turn her in?
We have the strangest relationship.
She's not family yet she's not a total stranger.
She's worse than a total stranger.
Leave it alone. We need to wait for Ji-sub.
Grandma. What are you going to do about Soo-hyuk and Kyung-chae?
What's with the nice tone?
You always called her Min Kyung-chae.
That's because Min Dong-chul...
That's when I thought Mr Min killed my parents.
Now I know that he didn't, I need to be nice to her.
That's nice of you.
You need to be nice to her.
What do you think about Soo-hyuk and Kyung-chae dating?
I don't mind it at all.
Soo-hyuk loves her and they look good together.
Do you think so too?
We should all go out to dinner tonight.
Call Soo-hyuk.
Thank you for inviting us to dinner. I don't know what to say.
You don't have to thank me.
I just wanted to have dinner with everyone.
Oh yes. You met Soo-hee.
Is this your younger daughter?
Hi, Grandma.
Hello. She resembles Mrs Yeo.
I think I met you before.
How have you been, Soo-hee?
Why aren't you answering him? He's talking to you.
Hello.
I know Ms Snob too.
Hi, Ms Snob!
Snob?
That's true.
She does have a tendency for it.
She's so immature and acts like it. It is true.
Grandma.
Please excuse me for a second.
Me, too. Excuse me.
So, how are you two doing?
We've been doing well.
We will continue to do well.
Right, Kyung-chae?
We've been doing well, thanks to you.
How have you been? Are you feeling all right?
I'm just fine.
All I wish for is a great grandchild.
That's my hope in life.
You heard that, right?
Let's take that to heart.
Come on.
You're making her blush.
Don't be friendly with me...
even if things work out between Soo-hyuk and your sister.
Sure, Ms Snob.
I won't be friendly to you.
Even if we become in-laws, I still want to be clear about Pil-sub.
Do you understand me?
The world is a cruel place.
Mr Pil-sum loves me.
He asked me to marry him.
Look at you! Are you rubbing it in?
Pil-sub may be blinded by you right now.
But it's not over till you actually get married.
Eun-chae loves Mr Pil-sum too.
Can you stop saying that?
Why do you call yourself "Eun-chae?"
That makes me cringe.
Mr Pil-sum likes it.
Really?
He's into such things?
I'm glad Mrs Na is doing well.
She didn't look well when I saw her last time after her collapse.
I'm sure she's getting younger by the day.
She finally got rid of her vengeful heart.
So I'm sure of it.
It must've been hard for her to have lived her entire life with it.
The same goes for you.
It's hard to live with such a misunderstanding.
Father, now that your memory is back,
how about working at the hotel again and not just like this?
At the hotel?
As a bellboy?
No, that was only to help him get his memory back.
You should do what you were called to do.
What can I do?
You should be the CEO.
No one can lead the hotel as well as you.
I can't do that.
Not after what I did.
So you need to redeem yourself.
You need to regain your respect by working for them. Right?
I think that's too much.
He shouldn't take your position when Mrs Na has great hopes for you.
If you can't decide now, give it some thought.
Find the best position for you.
Did you switch contractors for the resort?
Of course.
We'll hear from them soon.
This is Eun Hee-soo.
Yes, Mr Jung.
What did you say?
The contractors have been changed?
Who did that?
Jin Soo-hyuk?
No. He didn't mention it to me.
No. That won't happen.
Don't worry.
Of course.
I have a special relationship with Mando.
I'll take care of it.
Jin Soo-hyuk.
You switched contractors without my permission?
Is this how you're going to be?
Mando will pressure Eun Hee-soo.
They won't give up easily after having given her side money.
I'm sure they won't.
It's a big project so it won't be easy for them to give up.
If all else fails, they'll expose that Hee-soo took the side money...
Did you switch contractors for the resort?
I thought that'd be for the best.
I made the contract.
I can't let you just change the contract even if you're the CEO.
Isn't that what you did?
We didn't have any problems with our previous contractor.
You made the change without a reason.
That's...
What about it?
Did Mando offer you side money?
Otherwise, you have no reason to switch contractors...
since the previous one didn't have any problems!
Right?
You don't know much about managing the hotel.
Do you know how much we profit by reducing the construction days?
Mando is well-known for their fast work.
Speed isn't an issue.
What if they end up with poor construction?
You stay out of this.
You're only in charge of the arcade.
I'm talking about basics and qualifications.
The basics of construction and the qualification of a vice president.
When I was in your position, at least I knew my priorities.
Are you saying I'm not good enough?
This is for the hotel.
We can save construction costs and invest in other projects.
We've got our budget. Why should you profit here?
Unless you embezzled the money? If not, there's no need.
What do you mean?
Kyung-chae is totally right.
I've already made up my mind.
It's within my power to switch contractors.
So this conversation is over.
Did you come up with this?
I know it's your doing.
Jin Soo-hyuk doesn't know much about hotel management.
You instigated this...
It's just one contractor.
What's the big deal?
Do you still think you're the vice president?
How dare you get involved with hotel management?
Are you worried about something?
Did you get money on the side?
If not, you shouldn't be so sensitive.
Min Kyung-chae. Watch what you say.
Do you think I'm like your dad?
A shameless man who used company money for slush funds?
Don't bring my dad into this when you...
don't know what you're talking about.
Keep the same contractor.
Tell him to keep the same contractor.
Jin Soo-hyuk, the puppet CEO that knows nothing listens to you well.
Tell him right now.
Are you asking for a favour?
Then do it with more respect.
Perhaps even on your knees.
Who knows if I'll do it for you?
Try it.
You!
Mando won't just take this. What do I do?
What if they reveal that I took their money?
That'll be the end.
I can't let that happen.
Yes, Ms Eun.
Tell Director Oh to come to my office.
Yes, Ma'am.
She'll ask for a vote of confidence on the CEO.
Then the board will have no choice but to side with Hee-soo.
Jin Soo-hyuk is beginning to make his move.
If we let him be, we'll get into trouble.
What do you mean "we"?
Jin Soo-hyuk doesn't have anything on me.
You can't say that.
Your wife's restaurant.
Funds for your children to study abroad.
Where are they from?
Do you think I gave you that money from my personal account?
All the money that I got on the side went into your pockets.
Got that?
Do you think you'd have kept your position if Mrs Na didn't collapse?
Do you even know who made her collapse?
Then...
She won't survive long.
I told you that this is our opportunity.
We need to make it happen.
What shall we do?
Gather the board and request for...
a vote of confidence against Jin Soo-hyuk.
I need a legitimate reason to do that.
Our sales are plummeting since his appointment.
He's just a puppet CEO who doesn't know what he's doing.
Get the board together right now!
Is there anyone suitable for the general manager position?
Are you looking for a replacement?
He'll only process my resignation when there's a replacement.
Reconsider your resignation.
You've always worked at the hotel. What else can you do?
Are you worried about me?
I've no reason to worry about you but the hotel will lose out.
You are an asset to the hotel.
I'm stating the management's position.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to get approval.
What do you have to get approved by her?
What are you concocting using getting approvals as an excuse?
"Concocting"?
Watch what you say.
I asked her to find my replacement.
So you're still going to resign?
Even after I told you not to?
What will you do once you leave?
Do you even know how to do anything else?
You're so different.
One tells me to stay because I'm needed here.
Who told you that?
Did you say that?
Did you hold onto my husband with sweet talk?
You can't see him if he leaves so you told him that?
Don't pick a fight without a reason.
This isn't your office.
You're driving me crazy.
It's you two!
Do you know what you're up to?
What do you think people will say...
when a married man has a relationship with his ex?
Watch what you say! Do you think I'm like you?
Please take her out of this office, Ji-sub.
Min Kyung-chae.
Do you think Ji-sub will come to you once we get a divorce?
That'll never happen so don't even dream about it.
What are you doing, Ji-sub?
Do you think that we'll end it because of you?
Do you think that you can take my man?
Let me go!
I said let me go!
You!
Let me go.
Send your approval to my office.
I'll get it approved for you.
Don't go to Kyung-chae's office.
No, I'll go to her when I need her.
Even if it's not work-related, I'll go to her office if I need to.
I told you not to.
No matter what you say, I've no reason to avoid her.
If you don't want to, you don't have to agree to our divorce.
I'm going to sue for divorce.
It'll take time but at least I can get divorced.
What did you just say?
I may have to bring up what you did as grounds for this divorce.
If I have to defend my divorce from you,
I may reveal everything that you did.
So just sign the paper. For the both of us.
That's what's best for you.
No. What's best for me is to have you grow old with me.
Sue me if you must.
Do you think that scares me?
But repay me for the loan I paid off for your father before you sue me.
I paid off that big amount.
You're bringing that up again?
Stay low if you can't pay me back.
Walk on eggshells around me and flatter me.
Like you used to!
Yes, Mrs Na.
Yes, everything's fine.
You don't have to worry about me.
I know how Eun Hee-soo will react.
I'll call an emergency board meeting about the CEO.
Be there.
A board meeting?
Why all of a sudden?
They want a vote of confidence on the CEO.
That's what the board wants.
Jin Soo-hyuk only rose to that position thanks to his grandmother.
He knows nothing of being a CEO.
It's about time he steps down.
Who'll watch his back when she's in critical condition?
Shouldn't he give up his position now that his supporter is gone?
You talk as if Mrs Na has passed away.
Do you still think that old lady will help you?
She's just a body waiting to die. A useless old woman.
That old lady lived too long and made many lives very difficult.
I heard she can't even talk or recognise people.
That's just perfect.
She did talk too much.
Watch what you say. She can hear you.
She's on her deathbed. How can she hear me?
Eun Hee-soo.
You're cutting your life short.
I'm not scared even if she does hear me.
I can take on an old lady who's sick and dying.
Fine. Let's see if you can say that tomorrow at the board meeting.
You're next after Jin Soo-hyuk.
Get yourself ready.
