[Episode 42]
Jin Song-ah, I really liked your sampling event idea.
I wanted to congratulate you.
Thank you very much.
Can we use your idea for our upcoming television commercial?
Of course.
But that idea was actually Hyun-ah's idea.
I'm sure she'll be pleased.
You'd be acknowledging her.
Jin Hyun-ah was my very best partner.
If she was here now, I'd easily depend on her.
It's a shame, really.
Hyun-ah also considered you as a good colleague of hers.
She had a hard time expressing it,
but she loved the gift that you got for her, too.
She even wore it when she left in the morning that day.
You're the one who gifted that blue scarf to her?
How do you know about that?
What's going on here?
How else would I know?
Don't you remember telling me about it?
I don't recall ever telling you that.
You're probably right.
I heard you talking in your sleep.
Why are both of you looking at me like that?
Do you think I'm lying to you?
Your suspicions of me have only grown deeper,
haven't they?
You've had a difficult time, so I don't blame you.
I'll forgive you because I'm better off than you.
Don't you even think about digging up the past!
How long do you intend to dwell on the past?
You should be focusing on your own life.
Should you really be worried for me?
You seem more nervous than I thought.
I guess the Cinderella life isn't that easy?
What did you say?
You act like you're living it up,
but it looks to me like you're sitting on pins and needles.
Watch what you say! Have you forgotten?
You should get on my good side, if you hope to get hired.
You've got it all wrong! I'll get hired based on my abilities.
You're the daughter-in-law of the JH Group, not the owner.
If you act out,
it'll only bring down the company's image.
She's begging to get stepped on.
Why did you want to speak with me here instead of at home?
Show me the success you've achieved at ABM.
You can take the director position.
Thank you for the opportunity.
This is the consumer report for the latter part of last year.
Hello.
What did you say?
Koo Kang-mo's become the new director?
I didn't even call for you!
Father.
Were you gunning for that director seat?
I don't believe that I lack the skills for the job.
I have no qualms about your skills.
You're not the person for the job.
You told me that you admired my ambition!
You're much too narrow-minded.
Your greed will consume you.
I have no desire for luck.
I'll determine my own fate and pave my own road.
Please treat me as your daughter, as well.
I would like opportunities for promotion, as well.
Yea.
I'll keep that in mind.
I feel like I'm still lacking.
I'll do my best to earn your approval.
Everyone passed the first round of tests,
but Jin Song-ah was the winner.
I'll expect everyone else to try harder.
Get ready for the second round of tests.
This way.
Jin Song-ah, what are you doing? Hurry up. Hurry!
See this voting box here?
The customers will be rating your marketing performance.
The one with the most votes will win test number two.
How do you do?
I'm planner number one, Lee Jung-soon.
Thank you everyone!
Hey, I'm looking for a good-looking guy~
I'm fresh, and my name's Park Joo-kyung.
Thanks for the opportunity!
I love clean, fresh water~
Water, water, water, water~
I'm planner number three, Song Mi-ran.
Thank you everyone.
Water filter, fresh filtered water~
I love you so~
Hello, everyone.
I'm Jin Song-ah, planner number four.
Allow me to demonstrate...
as I remove a portion of my makeup.
What do you think?
Doesn't my skin look clean?
Treat yourself twice a day,
and invest in fresh, pure water.
Is there anyone here who would like to wash their face...
with fresh, filtered water?
Me, me, me!
Allow me to welcome you to the stage.
Come on up.
How are you?
You can wash your face with the water here.
Yes, I've arrived.
Don't make any mistakes.
How do you feel?
It feels different. I like it.
Thank you very much.
You can step down now.
Everyone can opt to put in a little time...
for a fresh start every morning.
Thank you very much.
Mother, what brings you here?
You told me that you're too busy to look after your own child.
So where have you been all day?
I'm not going to let you use work as an excuse...
to make me your babysitter.
Of course not.
I had business to attend to.
Would you like some coffee?
Forget it.
I'm on my way from a meeting,
and I had to listen to everyone bragging about their in-laws.
And all of the bragging started to hurt my ears.
Does it make sense to you that it's been two years...
since you oined our family,
and we haven't met your aunt yet?
She's a busy woman.
And she's far away.
New York isn't on the moon!
It only takes 14 hours to get here,
so that sounds like an excuse to me.
If she can't make it here,
I'll take a vacation and go visit her myself.
No, you can't!
Why do you seem so surprised?
Why can't I?
You're not...
Mother!
I'm not someone who tells lies.
Unbelievable.
I never accused you of lying.
I won't ask you again,
so tell your aunt to visit Seoul.
You do know that Kang-mo is a director now?
What's with your expression?
Did you think you'd step over my son?
Forget about getting promoted,
and focus on raising Woo-joo.
I'm about to break my back carrying that child around!
I'm working part-time.
All I have to do is vote for someone named Jin Song-ah.
I wish I had a job like this every day.
It looked like Jin Song-ah was close with Chief Kang.
We're going to end up as assistants!
No.
Listen.
She bought people with money.
She cheated,
so she should be disqualified!
You're right.
She's disqualified.
Good riddance.
[The person you have dialed is not available...]
You're not getting your phone.
Contact me when you get my message.
It's Koo Kang-min.
Oh, my.
It's been quite a while, Kang Se-na.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Did you get a call from Jin Song-ah by any chance?
Not from Jin Song-ah,
but I got one from Koo Kang-min.
Don't worry. I didn't pick it up.
Anyways, how's life been for you?
I'm back in my hometown now.
I'm living the dream, raising cattle.
Did I even ask?
Hysterical as always, I see.
Money is good,
but you should keep up with appearances, too.
Don't ever pick up a call from Jin Song-ah or Koo Kang-min.
Understand?
I can never disobey you, you know that!
I'll contact you soon.
Goodbye.
Cattle?
Don't make me laugh.
You'll come begging when you run out of money.
I know you!
We met at the fencing studio...
How's your shoulder?
I'm thankful.
Thanks to you, I recovered quickly.
My name is Moon Hyun-soo.
So you're going to give me a smile...
instead of your name?
I'm Park Ha-na.
Park Ha-na?
Your name carries an aroma,
like peppermint.
If you keep laughing, I might get the wrong idea.
What kind of idea?
I'd think that you're interested in me.
You're kind of adorable, Miss Park Ha-na.
My goodness.
Why did you prepare such a feast on a regular day?
It's the least I can do to celebrate Kang-mo's promotion.
So everyone, let's enjoy our meal.
Where's Woo-joo's mother?
Why couldn't she get off early today...
and help me prepare this meal?
She never listens to me,
and I was hoping she'd want to help me out.
But, no.
She blames work and misses out on dinner.
She's not working, is she?
I'm not sure.
Still, she's the mother of your grandchild.
Give her a break.
What's so great about giving birth?
And we never asked for Woo-joo!
Woo-joo did nothing but complicate Kang-min's life!
That's enough!
I'm just getting started!
I've always been curious.
You were always vehemently against Se-na joining the family,
so why did you allow her to marry Kang-min?
I told you that you don't have to know!
It's been two years, so you can tell me now!
What are you hiding?
Why do you have to ruin my dinner?
There's more to being a wife than simply cooking!
You should let your family eat in peace!
Please let me eat in peace!
I've lost my appetite!
Since I've allowed you to join our family,
I'll expect no disorder out of you.
How are you, Chairman?
Why didn't you acknowledge Jin Song-ah?
She's probably disappointed.
Did you forget about her?
While I was in America, I never forgot about Jin Song-ah.
I wanted to protect her two years ago,
and that hasn't changed.
Did you do that because of Father?
Father still resents her.
Why do you think that is?
Bro, is there anything you know?
It seems that Jin Song-ah's had a difficult life.
I was surprised to see her as a planner.
I'm happy to see that she's hanging in there.
I'm back,
so I'll make sure to provide her with my support.
I'll help her, too.
I think it's a lie...
when they say that time heals all wounds.
It's actually harder to forget.
I keep wondering what would've happened...
if I married Hyun-ah instead.
I'm idiotic, aren't I?
I'm sorry, Bro.
I wasn't pulling my weight in the family,
and I know that you were doubling up for me.
I didn't want to disappoint Father.
But on my wedding day, Koo Kang-min died.
My heart stopped beating that day.
Kang-min.
You watch.
I won't forgive Kang Se-na for doing this to me.
You don't look like you're in a good mood.
Why?
Is it because my rother-in-law ignored you?
Do you still have feelings for him?
Let me give you some advice.
Don't look up at trees that you can't climb.
The Cinderella life isn't for just anyone.
It's not because of Koo Kang-mo.
I was cleaning up yesterday and came across Hyun-ah's suicide note.
But oddly enough,
she ripped a page out of her notebook.
She never does that to her notebooks.
I'm certain that someone tore it out of her notebook.
I wonder who it can be?
Goodness...
Do you think this will bring your sister back?
You're only wasting your time.
Why don't you worry about your survival instead?
You get awfully sensitive whenever I talk about Hyun-ah.
What's the reason for that?
Because I've already gone through it.
When my mom died, I was lost for a while, too.
Even though I knew she'd never return.
Is that all?
If not, what else is there?
After some time passes,
you'll come to understand what I mean.
What do you hope to accomplish now!
You're only wasting your time.
I'd like to update you on the progress of the planner tests.
Jin Song-ah was the winner of the first exam.
She also took the lead in the second exam.
Jin Song-ah's a natural at this.
Shut up!
Are you sure she's not cheating and following the rules?
Of course!
If you discover anything at all,
you will cancel her employment.
Everyone in our company is virtuous!
Please excuse me.
Jin Song-ah's in the lead?
According to whom?
My goodness.
Why won't this baby ever sleep?
Kang-min used to doze off silently after his meals.
You must take after your mom's personality.
Ugh.
My arms...
I've got no more energy.
You're always hungry...
My goodness!
Wait a moment.
Where's the phone?
Your Bong's chicken has arrived!
Looks like you've given a late birth!
Are you mocking me?
Do you really think I can have children at my age?
I may look young, but my bones are shriveled.
I'm about to lose my arms taking care of him...
You must be stressed out because of the child.
Gosh...
I thought my life would get easier after my son got married.
My grandson is tormenting me now.
I don't want to tell my daughter-in-law...
to have any more children.
I guess everyone has the same problems.
I thought my family was the only one with problems,
but other people have more.
Don't feel too bad about having to take care of your grandchild.
You talk too much.
I'm starving right now.
Hold him for a second.
Oh, my.
Oh, my!
This is the first time in 20 years...
I'm forced to take care of a baby at a delivery.
Why is there only one drumstick?
Look closer, I'm sure it's hidden in there.
There isn't any more!
Does this chicken have only one leg?
The drumstick is the best part of the chicken!
I want a new order.
What?
What did you want?
My goodness...
How can you live in a place like this...
and complain about a single drumstick?
I refuse to sell it to you!
Oh, my!
You can't simply leave!
It's none of my business!
I'm on the verge of starvation!
My drumstick! Leave my chicken here!
I'm sweaty, I'm sweaty.
I don't feel very well.
What should I do?
Leave the chicken here with me!
You're here?
It's harder to meet you, even though I'm back in Seoul.
You think so?
Did you find your first love?
Did you find her or not?
My first love happens to be someone named Park Ha-na.
What are you talking about?
She must've changed her name.
It was bittersweet.
You were disappointed?
My expectations were too high.
Was I really that crazy about her?
I don't know anymore.
I'm going to meet the chairman tomorrow.
Are you done worrying now?
You could say that.
Here, have another drink.
I'm positive that this note was forged.
What?
The handwriting in the notebook doesn't match with the note.
Is that true?
Yes.
It's practically sugar.
It's so sweet.
Doesn't it taste great?
I'm home.
Song-ah, have some watermelon.
It's sweeter than honey.
I'm not interested.
Mom, eat lots.
Why does she look so drained?
Maybe I should cook a chicken for her tomorrow.
Yea.
And make me some, too.
You've had so much chicken,
you're at risk of laying eggs.
Gosh, seriously...?
You're giving me hard time about food?
Why did I just now discover that your note was forged?
Who did this to you?
I'm going to find out what happened that day.
What did you say?
Jin Song-ah paid people to vote for her on the second exam?
That's what they're claiming.
Are you certain?
Yes.
Mr. Hong.
Yes, Chief.
Can you bring me the person...
who Jin Song-ah had paid off?
Where is everyone?
Jin Song-ah, is it true that you paid people to vote for you...
during the second exam?
What?
What are you talking about?
I didn't pay anyone to vote for me...
Come on inside.
Is it true that Jin Song-ah paid you to vote for her at the event?
I don't know her face,
but I received a deposit from someone named Jin Song-ah.
I've never seen this person before.
I don't know anything about this.
Jin Song-ah paid people to vote for her?
Yes.
They are investigating as we speak.
That can't be.
Due to your cheating on the second exam,
you're disqualified.
I won't allow this to happen!

[Preview]
Let me introduce you.
This is our new consultant, Moon Hyun-soo.
It's nice to meet your acquaintance.
My name's Kang Se-na.
Would you consider working with me?
How can I trust you, Kang Se-na?
I'll let this one go,
but if this ever happens again, I won't.
Let's live peacefully.
Don't cause any more trouble.
What makes you so much better than me?
You idiot!
Do you know Cha Gun-woo's contact number?
Why do you ask?
I have questions about Hyun-ah's accident.
Hello?
I have something to tell you about Cha Gun-woo.
Who am I speaking with?
What did you say?
Is that true?
