The Perfect Day the Ladies
Episode 2: Cha Hyeju's story
Ashed Lady's Dream
Last kid confirmed
So, it's a girl. Where does she live?
Wrap the padded jacket and the rest I picked.
Yes, ma'am.
You have a wonderful taste. This jacket is quite the go.
Is that so?
It's $6,860.
Single payment, please.
- I'm home. - Yes, ma'am.
- Rina, where are you? - Mummy, I'm here.
Here's my princess. What were you doing?
- Playing with the dolls. - You were?
- Mum, anything for me? - That's mine.
This is yours.
- Mum, it's so pretty. - You look lovely.
- Mum, how do I look? - You look beautiful.
Do you think Dohun will like it?
Oh my, you care what boys think already?
Cha Dohun said I look beautiful dancing.
I'll be the princess at the school play.
Right, the school play is near.
When will the teacher choose the main character?
I don't know, but I'm the only one capable.
I'll be the princess, and Dohun will be the prince.
Who's Dohun?
- Daddy. - Welcome home, honey.
What's all this?
I bought some for Rina.
Give me your coat. I'll get dinner ready.
- Daddy. - Oh my, my little princess.
How was your day?
Yes.
You look prettier than yesterday.
Who's that Dohun kid you talked about?
Dad, you don't need to know. I'm going to marry him.
It's a new one? It's beautiful.
It looks really good on you with your fine line.
It's really expensive, right?
I'm flattered.
Padded jackets are the trend in cold weather.
Italian suits are quite distinguished.
Just a piece of jacket makes you look good.
- It's so cold. - Hello.
It's so cold.
It is cold these days.
Furs are the best in winter.
You should wear fur. That won't do.
I bought one to wear when I pick up the kids.
Even so,
everyone wears that in Gangnam as if it's a uniform.
Furs seem too much for me.
It could make you look like a madam.
But yours seems elegant. Must be pricey.
Quite.
I heard grey is the popular colour, so I'll get one.
Good. I'll come with.
Really? If you say so.
How do you get ready for the school play?
Well, I heard they will be doing "Beauty and the Beast".
They will have a draw this time?
I think so.
Considering what happened last time, won't they?
But still, Rina's the best in the class.
Right, Rina takes drama classes at Plain Star?
Yes, she does. I think she's talented,
and so does the teacher at Plain Star.
Rina takes many lessons.
She seems talented that way,
so I'm pursuing it when she's still young.
But isn't it too early for a 6 year old?
Too early?
You must start arts as soon as you can.
It's the trend to start before primary school.
Sure, you start with piano lessons plus a couple of arts.
That's the requirement to enter private schools.
Of course.
You said you majored in arts?
Rina must be good if she took after her mother.
Well...
It's time to choose the Beauty. Let's start with Suyeon.
Teapot
Beauty
I'm the Beauty.
- Mummy. - Mummy.
Rina, what's wrong with you?
I didn't get the Beauty.
You didn't? Then, who did?
- Yerin. - Who?
Oh Yerin.
- It's okay. - I want to be the Beauty.
How could this happen?
Rina didn't get the role because of some new kid.
Please calm down.
I wouldn't be saying this to another girl.
She doesn't even speak English.
This is discrimination.
I'll say no more.
You know we feel bad after last year's incident.
If this is the case, I won't be satisfied.
Okay, I'll tell this only to you, so please keep it a secret.
We will choose roles with an audition once the staffs are ready.
Really?
Yerin doesn't speak English, so that won't be a problem.
And Plain Star is directing the school play this time.
Rina's taking lessons there, so...
You know what I mean?
That's how it should go.
Focus on Rina's acting along with other things.
Sure, we're doing the best we can,
so don't worry.
Will you let me prepare all the outfits for the play?
I'd be grateful if you do so.
Here's a little present for you.
I'm counting on you.
Rina.
How come my princess is depressed?
Because of the play?
What can daddy do to cheer you up?
Daddy, let me be the Beauty at the school play.
I heard another girl got the role.
No way. I want that part.
I need to take this.
Rina.
I'll make you the Beauty no matter what.
- Really? - Of course.
But promise me you do whatever I say.
- Can you do that? - Yes, I will.
But you can't whine even if you get tired.
I see.
Look, this is for you.
I also got your shoes.
- Pretty, right? - Mum, you're the best.
I know.
Mummy will prepare all your class outfits this time.
Looks yummy.
No, put that down.
Why?
You will gain weight if you eat that now.
You want to be a fatty?
Jini
Dad, meet us at the wedding shop at 2 pm.
- What are you doing? - Nothing.
Please understand if Rina's mother is enthusiastic.
Mothers here dig into whatever artistic talent their kids have.
I see.
Mothers here are really eager.
Rina's mother can afford all that, and kids do well with support.
Even Kim Yuna would need money for support.
What was that all about?
Something happened last year?
Well...
it happened before Yerin joined.
There was a presentation in class with parents' participation.
Yeongji was the presenter,
but Rina's mother wanted her daughter to do it.
Then, things got heated between the mothers.
And no one ended up doing it.
- Hello. - Hello.
How's Rina?
Rina's always at the top of her class.
But she sometimes forgets her lines on stage.
You're confident about the audition?
Don't worry. I'll be there on that day.
And Rina will get the role.
- I really appreciate it. - Thank you for this.
- Rina. - Mummy.
- Tough day today? - Yes.
Drink some water.
Let's do it one more time before we go.
No, I'm tired and hungry.
Rina, let's do it one more time and eat what I brought you.
No, I don't want to.
Why do you force me to do it? I'm hungry.
Get up.
M-mummy.
Did you forget our promise?
- Get up. - You're hurting me.
You wanted to get the role.
You said you'll do as I say. Tomorrow's the audition.
Do you want Yerin to get the role?
Okay.
Rina, bear with me a bit more. Okay?
You should do great for all to see that not anyone could do it.
You can do it, right? Let's try one more time.
Why are you laughing?
- You're so good. - I am?
You're good for someone who didn't learn English before.
When did you do this?
I like this story. It's beautiful and sad.
- But Yerin... - Yes?
It's good if you get the role,
but don't get disappointed if you don't.
There's always a next chance.
Don't worry, mum. I can do well.
Okay, my baby.
- Children are already here? - Yes.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Rina's here. - Hello.
She dressed her well for the audition.
The audition is in favour of her.
I know. She made a fuss, so they drew.
- But now this? - My God.
We will now begin "Beauty and the Beast" audition
for the Christmas school play. Are you ready?
- Yes. - Who wants to go first?
Yes, Rina can go first.
Cut.
She's good.
I told you she's good.
Good job, Rina.
Acting and expression improved a lot.
Go back to you seat. Next is...
Yerin.
Can I do something else than dance?
Something else?
Well...
Let her do what she can. Go ahead.
Yerin, when did you practice English so much?
At home.
Wow, you did really well.
But Rina's English is better.
But it's all the same if you're not a native speaker. Right?
- Yerin's really good. - She's really good.
You were great.
Teacher, she's better than Rina.
- That's right. - I agree.
Really? Shall we take a break?
- Yes. - It's snack time.
Hey, why are you bragging?
I didn't mean to.
You're really mean.
Ha Rina, Yerin was way better.
Hey, what did you say?
She did great.
Everyone, be quiet.
Rina's mother brought us cupcakes today.
Get in a single line.
Thank you.
No, you can't. Don't eat it.
You can't have it.
Ha Rina, that's mean of you.
My mother brought it, and I won't give her.
Rina, you can't do that.
No, I don't want to.
Hey, you can't have it, either.
I don't want it. Yerin...
Let's not eat this. It's tasteless.
What?
Ha Rina, if you keep this up, you can't be the Beauty.
How can you behave like that and be a princess?
No way! I will be the Beauty.
Oh Yerin can never take it.
Teacher, let me take the audition again.
Rina.
No way. I'm the Beauty.
Yerin, what are you doing here?
Is Rina okay?
She will be. You are worried about her.
- Teacher... - Yes?
I don't want to be the Beauty.
What do you mean?
I'm okay, so let Rina be the Beauly.
What? She won't do it?
How dare she turn it down?
So you accepted it without hesitation?
Why be angry at me? What if another girl gets it?
It's annoying. I want Yerin gone.
Just forget it.
Don't get angry and go play in your room.
How dare she...
- I knew it. Rina was the best. - I know.
- A toast? - Shall we?
- Congratulations. It's not a big deal.
Thank you, anyway.
Everyone's coming to the final rehearsal, right?
- Sure. - Of course.
I'm fine. Don't mind me.
Yerin's new here, and her English isn't good.
Right.
The mother should let things go which is not easy.
Good thinking.
Is Yerin okay?
Yes, she isn't holding onto it. It's in the past for her.
Good for both the mother and kid.
It seems Rina takes after her mother.
You graduated from Ewha University, majoring in dancing?
Well, yes.
Thank you for the meal.
In some ways, I envy you.
She's already 7, but you seem to care less.
But letting her grow freely is different from not caring.
You had work as an excuse.
But personally,
I don't like people like you.
Joining the school isn't the last of it
if you don't care.
I don't care if it's neglect,
but don't make us look bad when we put everything into our kids.
How lovely.
You startled me.
What are doing here? Rehearsal has started.
Let's go.
I was looking at the pictures.
Which picture?
You recognise her?
No, but she seems familiar.
We'll be late. Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
My Rina, you look dazzling.
You really are a princess.
Look around, they're all here to see you Rina.
I'll be there watching, so do well, okay?
- Good luck. - Good luck.
Okay, let's begin.
One, two, three.
Rina's good.
Rina.
Come on.
Say it.
- She peed herself. - She wet her pants.
- She peed. - That's her only dress.
Rina, what's the matter with you?
- Come here. - Mummy.
Rina got stage fright.
Teacher, please proceed. We will be back in a minute.
Mummy.
Get your gloves off.
Come on, get them off. Quickly.
Mummy.
Done?
Put this on quickly.
Your arm, hurry up. Your friends are waiting for you.
Arm here.
What's wrong?
Mummy.
What's gotten into you?
You did well during the practice. What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry.
You said you could do well. Are you stupid?
She embarrassed herself because of her daughter.
Now I get how she manages to live with an older husband.
Almost father and daughter apart in age.
Gross!
Mothers are scary.
See you at the academy tomorrow.
Okay. Hey, hang on.
Yes?
You be careful.
What do you mean?
Once you fall out with her, you could get into trouble.
Never mind. Let's go.
Aren't you tired of drinking all that by now?
I have my reasons.
Because of that school play?
Why are you so obsessed with that?
It only makes the kid look puppywish.
She'll become selfish. So what's there to learn?
How could you talk like that? Rina wanted it so badly.
Maybe you wanted it so badly.
That's right. What's so wrong about that?
Honey.
You live in Gangnam
and do as you please and spend all you want.
Why can't you leave off your old life?
It's been 6 years already.
6 years.
So what do you want me to do?
I know you're seeing your first wife
on the pretext of your daughter's wedding.
A meeting between families? How ridiculous.
What did you say?
You forgot what she did to me and Rina?
She's your daughter and Rina's not?
Watch your mouth.
If I catch you meeting her again, you'll never see me and Rina again.*AD BREAK*
They're good with the basics, so it'll be good for Yerin.
Some kids from the kindergarten also come here.
Thank you. I owe you always.
- Let's go in. - Okay.
Let's go.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hi.
Yerin can come with me, and you can stay here for counsel.
Sure.
- Please wait here. - Okay.
- See you, Yerin. - Okay, mummy.
Have fun.
Park Hajin, you came with Yerin?
Why is she here?
Yerin's going to attend here.
Why would she come here?
No way.
If you're done, stay here till I get back.
Okay.
Why are you here?
Give that to me.
What are you doing?
You came here to make me miserable, right?
You're a copycat and a show-off.
Give that back.
You had it coming.
You are mean and a bed wetter.
What? I hate you. Get out.
Rina, what's wrong?
Yerin, what happened?
Rina, get up.
Are you okay?
Yerin, what happened?
Yerin pushed...
It wasn't me. She fell on her own.
Are you okay, Rina?
Try to get up.
My arm hurts.
Rina, what's the matter?
Yerin pushed me.
- I'm sorry. - My arm hurts.
We should get her to the hospital.
Why are you doing this to my daughter?
What does that mean?
Why bother Rina all the time?
You didn't seem to care, but look at what happened.
You let her wander off and see where it got her.
I've been patient, but can't bear it anymore.
I think we should take her to the hospital.
Rina, can you get up?
How does she discipline her child?
Get a medical report first.
I'll introduce you to a lawyer if you need one.
Try to calm down.
My God, what's going on?
It's me. Did you look into it?
What?
No match in the dancing department?
Okay, I see.
Yes, thank you.
What a cheeky woman.
She did that to Rina.
Rina's mother must have made a fuss.
Hajin's mother.
Heard about Rina?
Yes, she damaged her ligament.
Rina's mother threatened to sue the kindergarten.
What will I do?
She's mad at you concerning the school play.
Have you met her?
I called her, but she won't pick up.
Is Rina here?
Meet her before things get out of hand.
Make up with her. She's off the charts.
She's there all morning, so wait there.
She'll refuse to meet, but you should at least try.
Thank you.
Okay.
Is this the place?
Hey, where do you think you're going?
You lured my husband and married him.
Now, you're trying to ruin my kid's wedding?
How dare you walk around with your chin up?
You want to get embarrassed here?
My God.
You couldn't keep him, but blame me?
You took enough in the divorce.
You want to take more for the wedding?
- What? - You are pathetic.
What did you just say?
Hey, stop right there.
Let go.
How dare you touch me?
I'm not the Cha Hyeju you used to know.
You ex-husband said he'd get a star from the sky for me.
A hundred of you won't make me blink an eye.
Not in your dreams.
- Oh my God. - Look at her.
Hey, stop right there.
Don't let her walk away.
What should I do?
Oh my gosh!
Yerin's mother.
Did you meet Rina's mother?
No, I couldn't meet her.
Why? Did she say something?
That's not the problem anymore.
Why?
A PTA has been gathered. Let's hurry.
- Good God. Is that true? - Yes, it is.
She used to be in an escort service,
but met a married man
and got pregnant to turn her life around.
My God.
I thought she just married an older man.
I knew something was off.
What a shock. But who told you that?
A mother from Sunflower Class.
It's nonsense to send our kids to the same class.
I totally agree.
How shameless.
- Geez, so shameless. - She still has her pride.
I'm speechless.
Dohun's mother
Hajin's mother
Who can it be?
Oh, Rina's mother.
What brings you here?
Please come in.
No, I'll say what I came for.
Satisfied?
You feel happy that you did it?
What do you...
You pretend you don't know?
You thought I wouldn't know you were talking behind my back?
You're crossing the line.
Who's crossed the line?
You're the one saying I spend money senselessly.
What are you talking about?
Don't pretend you don't know. You saw it all.
You spread the rumour
that I might act upon you hurting Rina?
- That's not true. - Fine.
But I'm not a pushover like you think.
I won't let this matter go away.
You should watch yourself.
Rina's mother.
The principal is in a meeting.
I'll wait. I can't let this go.
Either Yerin or my daughter has to go.
Oh my, look who's here.
Hey.
Looks like you're here on business. Go in.
A written request for Ha Rina in Sunflower Class to move out
What is this?
I don't know what to say, but the mothers...
Dohun's mother.
It's been a while. How's Rina doing?
How could you do this to me?
Rina's the one hurt. But why?
I thought we had something in common.
I don't keep relations with a liar.
I felt something was wrong.
I started to have doubts about you.
It happened not just once.
People can't hide their nature.
What?
I thought it was strange, so I asked around.
There's no secret in Gangnam. Everyone knows everyone else.
And you lied to my face?
Then, the rumour...
Did you sleep with my husband as well?
What?
What are you saying?
Are you insane?
You were an escort.
And graduated from Ewha majoring in dancing?
You're name isn't on the alumni list.
You didn't know I graduated from that school, did you?
How dare you deceive me?
Yes, I lied to you.
I didn't cause any trouble for you, did I?
You did no harm? You're really shameless.
I took the trouble to send my kid there,
and I have to see it all messed up because of you?
So what do you want me to do?
Quit the kindergarten.
Quit?
Why should I? What wrong have I done?
I don't know your roots,
and I can't hang out knowing all that.
Se be it. Do whatever you want.
I will not leave here. Never.
Why does Rina have to quit?
So you won't quit?
Fine.
You don't care if Rina finds out about you?
It seems all the kids know already.
It's just a matter of time before Rina hears it.
No. Don't. Please no.
How would she feel if she finds out how her mother ended up here?
Please...
Please don't.
Don't do that, please.
You admit what you did is shameful?
Please don't do that to her.
Now you know.
Yon have till this month.
If you come here again, I won't be so nice.
You're still alive? I thought you quit this business.
I thought so, too.
I thought I'd turn around
if I left and got married.
Hey.
I came this far from this business.
Changing from Cha Hyeju the escort, to a madam living in Gangnam.
You know how it feels?
You can't live with a sound mind.
But look at me.
You know why I did it?
For whom I did it?
But... what now?
What would I do with Rina?
What can I do?
What about my daughter?
Mummy?
Mummy's here.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
You know...
Mummy wanted you to be a real princess.
Princess?
Yes.
A real princess from the moment you were born.
Not a fake like me.
Mum, why are you a fake? You're a real princess.
Pretty and slim...
No.
Mummy is...
Your mummy is...
I am...
- See you. - Bye.
But does she have to leave the kindergarten?
You don't know well.
A bad rumour will kill us all,
and it's bad for the children.
Rina's mother knows that, so she's quitting.
Let's go. Class is almost over.
Kim Yeongji What's wrong with the bag?
Where did you get that?
What?
- The notebook. - Notebook?
Oh, this? This thing?
I found it in Yerin's locker when I did the decoration.
It belongs to the girl who quit earlier?
What are you doing?
- Mummy. - Yes?
I'm okay now, so I can go to kindergarten, right?
- Rina. - Yes?
You have to quit Hana Kindergarten.
What? I don't want to.
We are going to move.
No, I don't want to move.
I'm sorry, Rina.
But...
I can no longer stay here.
Then, I can't see Dohun anymore?
You can make new friends.
But I have to do "Beauty and the Beast".
I have to turn Dohun into a prince.
Come here.
Come in.
Please let her do the play.
It's been a while.
Yeongji's mother?
You've done that to me and Yeongji just for this?
I'll look forward to the play.
I'll make sure to watch.
Hello.
Rina, meet me here when you're done. I'll be waiting.
Good luck, my sweetheart.
Let's go.
- Hey, why are you so late? - Too much traffic.
It hasn't started yet. I'm nervous.
Me too.
Good job, everyone.
Beast, you were wonderful.
My son, you did great.
Good job, kids.
Something wrong?
I don't know. See you.
Have you heard?
They're missing a kid from the Sunflower Class.
That's your class, right?
Yerin.
Dohun. Dohun, where are you?
- Dohun. - Dohun.
- Yerin. - Dohun, where are you?
Yerin.
Dohun.
Yerin.
- Suyeon. - Yerin.
Yerin!
You will regret ever joining Hana Kindergarten
Rina's mother, what are you doing here?
How have you been?
I dropped my scarf here.
You know a kid's missing?
I have nothing to do with Dohun being missing.
Dohun...
Dohun is missing?
I...
I don't know. I'm not sure.
Hey.
You know something. Hurry up and tell me where the kids are.
I don't know anything about that.
Come on.
What changes if I tell you?
You guys never treated me honestly.
It was all just show and pretend this entire time.
You know how much that smothered me?
I don't know anything.
Come on. please. You're a mother, too.
Tell me everything you know, please.
Mummy, can I just say goodbye to Dohun?
We don't have time. Let's go.
Rina. Rina.
Lee Dohun.
Ha Rina.
Goodbye, Lee Dohun.
I won't see you anymore.
I liked you.
I liked you...
You will be friends with Yerin now, won't you?
Ha Rina, you were pretty today.
Really?
- Really? - Yes, really.
Don't forget me.
Of course, we are friends.
Hi, Dohun. Rina, we should go.
- Goodbye, Dohun. - Goodbye, Rina.
Come on, Rina.
That's the last time I saw him.
Why did you come back?
I told you I came back for my scarf.
How did you know Dohun was missing?
I heard someone call Dohun when I came back.
Then, people were talking and heard a kid was missing.
So I assumed Dohun was the one missing.
It won't look good if I'm the last person to see him.
I tried to leave, but bumped into you.
Then, what about the text?
Text message?
What text message?
Goodbye.
Rina's mother.
I mean Cha Hyeju.
I didn't start the rumour.
I never said anything.
I know.
I was a normal mother raising a kid.
It's funny how we never used our own names all this time.
Well, names don't matter to us.
I'm leaving.
You be careful, too.
It wasn't a coincidence that Yerin joined here.
Yerin's mother.
- Yerin. - Mummy.
Where were you? You scared me.
- It's okay. - She must have been scared.
What's going on?
It's okay. Don't cry.
Dohun's mother fainted and is at the nurse's office.
Could you be downstairs with the children?
- I'll see her and be there. - Okay.
And this. It's Dohun's.
- Okay. - Give it to her.
- Be downstairs. - Let's go.
Don't go anywhere and stay by my side.
Call's coming.
Hajin, isn't it your bag?
What? Is it?
It stopped.
Whose is that?
It used to be my mother's.
She gives it to me when I go to the academy.
Did I take long? It's cold.
Episode 3: Ugly Duckling's Jealousy
Your son's in Sunflower class?
I'm sorry.
That's Kim Yeongji's mother.
She didn't join being busy.
- Doesn't it bother you? - I don't get along. I gave up.
Yeongji got the first place.
Some kids don't need eager mothers.
- I'll time it, so start solving. - Okay.
I won't make him study.
Turning life over with good grades is an old saying.
You suffocate me. Don't you feel sorry for Hajin?
Don't disrupt if you won't help.
Actually, the class is full,
but I'll make an exception as you're friends of Hajin's mother.
The mother seem okay.
I'll bring one more.
