Hi, Yunseo.
Hi, Seungil. Where were you?
- Hyeon came by. - She did?
Why didn't you call me?
What is it?
I have something to discuss with you about Ms. Lee Sojin.
I'm bringing this up after careful consideration,
so I hope you approve.
What is it?
I'd like to recommend her for the employee of the month.
This is Ms. Lee's design sketch.
Look at the details she drew on the side.
Do you need more proof of Ms. Lee's talent?
I thought you weren't comfortable with her.
I don't know where you got that idea.
I don't have any personal feelings against her.
Of course, I don't like anyone coming by your place, Ms. Lee included.
But as the head of the team, I acknowledge that she's talented.
What? Lee Sojin is the employee of the month?
Really?
I've been here for 5 years and I never got it.
How can the newbie get it in just a month?
Hey! Who told you to carry that?
- Pardon? - You were out sick yesterday.
What would the higher ups say if they saw you doing hard work?
They'd yell at us for being slave drivers.
- Pardon? - You're something else.
How did you manage to win over Ms. Kang?
What do you mean?
Do you really not know?
I'm so thankful,
but I don't deserve it yet.
- I'm not talented enough. - Don't be silly.
You more than deserve it.
Your jacket was amazing.
But that was all thanks to Ms. Baek and MD Choi Jinuk.
- All I did was... - I would like you
to be able to spread your wings and soar.
I'm thinking of hiring you as a full-time employee.
- Pardon? - CEO Ji's favorably reviewing my recommendation.
Here.
I got this as my way of congratulating you. This should come in handy.
- But I... - Share it with the rest of the team,
and don't refuse it like you did with the shoes.
Okay. You're excused.
Thank you.
She turned the drawbacks into strengths.
Ms. Lee deserves to be the employee of the month, right?
A designer doesn't need a reward.
All a designer needs is for her clothes to be well-received at stores.
You're right, but I have something in mind.
And it's something Ms. Kang also recommended.
I'm thinking of hiring Ms. Lee as a full-time employee.
Her contract's not up yet, so there could be some backlash otherwise.
But if she wins employee of the month,
it will make it easier for us to turn her into a full-time staffer.
A full-time staffer...
That's not a bad idea.
It will strengthen her sense of commitment too.
That's good.
One more thing.
2011 Recommendations for Change of Status to Full-time Employee
Although Ms. Kang's her direct boss,
she hasn't been here long and she's young,
so she doesn't feel comfortable about making the recommendation herself.
She asked me to find someone who could write Ms. Lee a recommendation.
I was wondering if you might be willing to do it.
Yeah, sure.
Are the preparations for the founding anniversary going well?
I was going to resign and be punished.
Guess what I got.
This is proper pork hocks.
And the onions, garlic, and ginger are all local produce.
Try it.
What's wrong?
Are you that moved?
This isn't a big deal. There will only be better things to come.
Should I make you a wrap? Okay. Hold on.
- Look... - Yeah?
Don't do this to me.
This is all too much.
- Come on. Don't scare me. - I mean it.
It's too much.
I just thought I'd cheer you up.
You weren't feeling well.
- I was just worried about you. - Your worrying is also too much.
Why should it bother you?
Why can't you get the drift?
I don't have time to play around with you.
It's just my situation.
So stop liking me.
Okay. I'll be more careful.
But you should eat this at least. It won't taste good once it gets cold.
She has gotten irritable since her cold.
I won't back down though.
I can do this!
What would you like? Sprite? Coffee? Both?
Hey, Lee Sojin.
You should have rice. Noodles don't keep you full.
Ring all these up, please. I'm paying. I'm paying.
It's too heavy for you. I'll help you.
- It's okay. - Let me do it.
Take care. Bye.
What is it?
Do you have some time?
I have something to tell you.
Lee Sojin.
We need to talk.
I just don't get why you're like this.
You weren't like this at the workshop
and you weren't like this when I went to your house.
Why are you suddenly being like this to me?
- I have an appointment. - Appointment? What appointment?
Alright. When will it be over? I'll wait for you.
Yes, CEO Ji.
Okay. I'll see you soon.
You have an appointment with CEO Ji?
Why? Why are you seeing him?
Hey!
If you follow me,
I won't ever see you again.
I mean it.
Hey!
- Please. - Thank you.
Is something wrong?
No, it's not that.
I guess I'm nervous being in such a fancy place.
You've done so much for Hyeon.
I've been meaning to buy you a meal anyway.
I see.
I have a favor to ask you.
About the award you're planning to give me at the anniversary ceremony,
couldn't you give it to MD Choi Jinuk or Ms. Baek?
You see, Ms. Baek helped me with the concept of the jacket,
and MD Choi managed to find a factory to get the jacket made.
So it's not me who should get the award.
It's Ms. Baek and MD Choi who deserve it.
I really don't deserve it.
I understand how you feel,
but it will be problematic for us to change the awardee now.
Then please do me this favor.
I'm very grateful that you decided to promote me
and make me a full-time designer,
but I don't think...
Here.
Open it.
Lee Sojin Design Team 1/Designer
Seeing your business card
reminds me of when I got my first business card.
It made me feel so proud. I felt I had proven myself.
That's why I wanted to give you your business card myself.
This is proof that as far as our company is concerned,
we recognize you as a designer.
There's a lot I don't understand about you,
but let me just ask you one question.
Are you avoiding me
because of CEO Ji?
Think however you'd like.
How can you do this to me? What the...?
Hop in. I'll take you home.
Okay.
I can drop you off right in front of your apartment.
No. You've done enough for me already.
Wait.
Ji Seungil President & CEO
Won't you give me yours?
This make me the first person to get designer Lee Sojin's business card.
Thank you. Have a good night.
You too.
What's wrong with you?
Are you stupid? Don't you have any pride?
Doesn't it make you mad that I don't like you?
Yes, it does.
I'd like to beat you up.
So go.
But
when I see your face, the anger goes away.
You're just too pretty.
If you really don't feel comfortable around me,
I'll leave.
I won't bother you anymore.
So this is the last time I'm asking you.
Do I have a chance?
No.
Alright.
I won't bother you anymore.
Are you crying? Because of me?
You're crying.
- Good morning. - Hello.
- Good morning! - Hi.
What a great day. There's a warm breeze and the weather is perfect.
Shouldn't there be a rainbow on a day like this?
A double rainbow would be even better.
Good grief. So things must be going well with Lee Sojin.
Good grief.
Why are you reporting to work here? Go to your team.
I need to check up on how things are.
You're ridiculous.
- Good morning. - Hi.
Good morning. How are things going?
- Hi. - Oh, hi.
Do you remember how we were going to have latte?
Oh, that? Let's do it some other time. Sorry.
Some other time? How about lunch?
Lunch? Sure. Why not.
He's so tall.
Has he always been that tall?
Where are you going for lunch?
What? Don't even think about tagging along.
Meow.
Attention.
We need a volunteer to help out with the anniversary preparations.
Anyone?
Pardon?
Hey!
Sit, sit.
I knew you'd be asked to do this, so I volunteered.
I'm awesome, aren't I?
Huh? Yeah.
We have to cut this out and paste it onto the envelope.
Should I cut? You can paste.
- I don't care. - You don't?
Wait. You might hurt your hands. Pasting is safer. You paste.
No, no, no. You shouldn't get glue on your pretty hands.
I'll do everything. You just relax.
- What do you want for lunch? - Huh?
I surfed the web for some nice eateries.
Check this one out.
This one's a Japanese place.
The curry's supposed to be amazing.
And wait.
This place is famous for their garlic pasta.
They give couples free handmade ice cream.
Isn't that something?
It's our first official date. We need to go to a special place.
I have something to tell you.
Huh?
This is probably something I should tell you outside the office, but...
Huh? Hold on. What's this?
"Lee Jinhui's Tearful Press Conference?"
Lee Jinhui breaks down, apologizing for having lied about age
Lee Jinhui again?
An apology won't do.
She's so brazen.
She perpetrated a crime by acting all cute and young
when she's actually super old.
Oh, right. What were you about to say?
Yes?
I...
What is it? Why are you building it up?
I...
I can't do this.
What? That's what you wanted to say?
Yeah.
Why not?
- It's my situation. - Your situation?
Yeah.
- So please stop... - Liking you?
Yeah.
What's wrong with you?
Weren't we done with your pathetic excuses last night?
Why did you cry when you thought I had left? Why did you do it?
And why didn't you push me away when I hugged you?
- Just. - See? You have nothing to say, do you?
- Last night, I was just... - Just what?
It was just the mood...
The mood...
Are you kidding me?
Have you been leading me on?
Am I not good enough for you but too good for other women?
I'm sorry.
I'll go do this at my desk.
Before the closing of the general shareholders' meeting,
I'd like to announce that with the additional acquisition of shares,
Director Hyeon Jisuk now has the rights of a major shareholder.
What?
I was just at the administrative department,
and they said all the budget for the pattern room
must be authorized by Director Hyeon from now on.
What?
This isn't cool of Director Hyeon.
You've had control over the budget for over 10 years.
But in a wink of an eye...
They okayed all the conditions.
I don't think there's anything you need to worry about.
Should I come back later?
No. I was just leaving.
- I'll get going, Director Hyeon. - Alright.
What brings you here, Ms. Baek?
I've come to get your authorization for this month's budget.
You didn't have to come yourself.
Wasn't it your intention to see me kowtow at your feet?
Pardon?
I didn't know it would be this easy.
You'll be seeing a lot of me.
So she's planning to stick it out?
- Why the long face on a day like this? - Hi.
Is it Ms. Baek? I just saw her leaving.
You find Ms. Baek unsettling, don't you?
- Would you like me to help you? - What?
Just bear with everything until the founding anniversary.
What I have planned will deal a blow to Ms. Baek too.
It involves someone Ms. Baek supports.
Ms. Lee's sample will be released on May 31?
Delivery Notice, Spring Jacket Expected date of delivery: May 31, 2011.
Founding Anniversary
What a shame. It's the anniversary of our founding.
No, that's not what I mean.
As the head of the team, I wanted to see the release of the jacket.
But it'll be a busy day.
In any case, thank you.
I'll relay the message to Ms. Lee.
Plus, she said she would quit as soon as her piece was released.
We can't have you resign before the anniversary ceremony.
Congratulations.
Your jacket will be released.
When?
June 1, the day after the founding anniversary.
It's just one good thing after another for you.
You're winning a reward and your outfit will be released soon.
I, Lee Sojin of Design Team 1, tender my resignation for personal reasons
Thank you.
I know you've been looking out for me.
I'm so grateful.
I don't know what to say.
And I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I don't know where to begin.
I can't really tell you now,
but I'll come back later and ask for your forgiveness.
And this...
What is it?
Hand cream?
You got this for me because I mentioned how damaged my hands are
from years of working as a tailor?
Alright. I'll use this and restore youth to my hands.
I'll get going.
Hey.
Have you eaten?
- I can do it. - No, no. I'll do it.
Fabric doesn't only damage hands.
All the dust kills your throat too.
You have to have pork belly once or twice a week.
Go on and eat.
Okay. Thank you.
I heard your jacket will be released in a few days.
Are you nervous?
It must be both exciting and nerve-wracking.
I had tried to become a designer myself. I know how you feel.
You were a designer?
So why did you...?
I mean, tailoring is important too,
but its' not easy giving up one thing for another.
Tailoring must be more my cup of tea.
Tailoring is very honest.
You get what you put into it.
Enough about an old fart like me. Let me hear about you.
You said you wore your first brand new dress at your graduation.
Why was that? Did you have an older sister?
I do have a sister.
I didn't get her hand-me-downs per se, but
my younger, I mean, older sister grew so quickly
that our mom would buy her new clothes,
but I was so tiny.
That's so unfair. You must have been upset.
You know how they say parents love all their children equally, right?
I don't think it's true.
There's always a favorite.
I have to admit though that she is prettier and more outgoing than me.
I'll do it.
Hey, Hyeon. You had said Jessica wanted to go to a theme park, right?
Why don't we all go?
Don't you have friends? Why do you want to go with me?
In any case, I'll ask Jessica.
Alright. Have a good night.
- Hey! - Hi!
- Have you been waiting? - I just got here.
One more coffee, please.
Thank you for taking on the filming of the ceremony.
I should thank you. It's another gig for me.
I have another favor to ask you.
What is it?
There's an employee who will be awarded. Her name's Lee Soyeong.
Could you film congratulatory messages from her family and friends?
I've never done anything like this before.
Just be yourself.
Okay.
Hi, Soyeong. It's mom.
During the 34 years of your life,
I haven't really done anything to give you proper support.
I couldn't even send you to college.
But you became a designer on your own and even won an award.
I'm so proud of you.
Congratulations, my dear.
Thank you.
- Was I okay? - You did a terrific job.
- The camera loves you. - Oh, stop it.
Please don't forget what I told you earlier.
You have to keep it a secret.
If I have to, sure, but...
Please.
It will be more fun if we surprise her.
Alright.
Congratulations, Soyeong.
You never missed a day of work during your 14 years here.
Now you're being awarded the employee of the month there.
You're amazing.
And let me remind everyone at The Style.
Please make sure to remember Ms. Lee's name.
Her name is Soyeong, not Sojin.
- Good job. - Thanks.
What?
You're saying Seungil's seeing someone and that someone's Soyeong?
I couldn't believe it at first myself.
But she's spending a lot of time with Seungil and Hyeon.
- She goes to Seungil's place a lot too. - No way.
There must be a misunderstanding.
She's not like that.
And she gave me her word that she would quit once her jacket was released.
What are you talking about? Ms. Lee's about to become a full-time staffer.
What?
But I can see why she changed her mind.
Now she has a reliable supporter.
This can't be. It has to be a misunderstanding.
How can Soyeong do this to me?
- Ms. Lee! - Hi, Hyeon. Come here.
I called him. I thought Mr. Udon would be lonely.
You heard her, right?
I'm not here to see you.
- Are we just going to stand here? - Huh?
This looks good.
- You do it too. - Huh?
This looks amazing, Hyeon.
- Are you having fun? - I'm having lots of fun!
She's asleep.
- Um... - Um...
- You go first. - No. You go first.
I know what you're about to say.
You're not it. You don't stand a chance.
Why don't you get it through your head?
That's what you want to say, right?
I don't know what's wrong with me. I really don't want to be like this.
I was wavering last night,
but when I woke up this morning I missed you so much.
I would have had to wait until I got to work to see you,
but I couldn't wait until Monday.
I'm sorry.
CEO Ji Seungil
I beg you. Please go.
Thank you so much, Ms. Lee.
No. I had a great time too.
Hop in. I'll drop you off.
No. I'll take the bus.
And
please give this to Hyeon.
He can be Jessica's friend.
A friend is better than a maidservant.
Why didn't you give it to her yourself? She'd like it more if you gave it to her.
I don't think it'll be feasible.
I'm going to stop spending time with Hyeon.
Hyeon's smart and pretty, so she'll make new friends in no time.
I'm sorry.
No. It's me who's sorry.
If that's what you want, I understand.
I should have taken off right away.
Look. I'm so sorry.
I wasn't spying on you because I was worried you'd do something with CEO Ji.
It's just I can't help how I feel.
I really wasn't going to do this
but I was so worried and scared.
- Thank you. - Huh?
I had told you earlier
that it was my dream to see someone wear a piece I designed, right?
I'm about to realize that dream thanks to you.
Thank you, Choi Jinuk.
I really wanted to tell you that.
It feels good to have gotten that off my chest.
Huh? Where's Ms. Lee?
She went home.
- Did you have a good time? - Yes.
What's this, dad?
Ms. Lee told me to give it to you.
- He can be Jessica's friend. - Jessica's friend?
Is Ms. Lee going somewhere?
It's not that...
Ms. Lee's going to be busy,
so you can't call her anymore.
I told you not to call her.
Hyeon
- Good morning. - Hi, newbie.
Everyone's at the event hall. You should hurry up too.
Okay.
Hello?
What? The jacket's out already?
Why didn't anyone let me know?
- Hi, Jinuk. - Hi.
I have a huge favor to ask you.
1, 2, mic. 1, 2. Testing.
Excuse me.
- Hello. - Hi.
Where did you get that jacket?
This? It's from our store, of course.
I would never wear something from a different brand on a day like today.
The jacket is already out?
It was just delivered to the store. I'm the first person to wear it.
Are you looking for someone?
I'm here for Lee Soyeong of Design Team 1.
Nice to meet you.
I'm the head of the team Ms. Lee's on.
You are? My goodness.
I know Soyeong is in good hands now.
Let me show you to your seat.
- Please come this way. - Okay.
- Please sit down here. - Thank you.
Ms. Kang.
Where's Ms. Lee?
I saw her rushing off somewhere a while ago.
- Hello? - Ms. Lee?
This is Kang Yunseo.
Where are you? Hurry over.
I'm sorry, Ms. Kang.
I can't come.
You can't come? What do you mean?
I'm sorry.
Hello? Ms. Lee? Hello?
Let's take off, Lee Soyeong.
All you have to do is tender your resignation and take off.
Ms. Kang
You're really selfish, aren't you?
You made the piece. How can you be so irresponsible?
Don't you feel guilty towards me?
No... Towards your first baby?
You've lost that passion.
Aren't you Ms. Lee Sojin of the design team?
Shouldn't you be at the event hall?
Ms. Lee Sojin! Ms. Lee Sojin!
I'm not Lee Sojin.
We will now begin the ceremony of the 35th anniversary of The Style.
First up is the cake-cutting ceremony.
Our executives and CEO Ji are on their way up.
Please give them a warm round of applause.
The cake-cutting will now begin.
- Hello? - Where are you? Where are you, mom?
Stop yelling. I'm at your sister's workplace.
I'll call you back later. I have to go.
Why are you there? What do you think you're doing?
Soyeong's getting an award today.
Her company sent me a personal invitation.
I don't believe this. You shouldn't be there. Get out of there this instant.
What are you talking about?
- We'll talk later. - Mom! Mom!
I would like to thank my predecessors, employees, and customers
for making The Style what it is today.
Thank you.
CEO Ji is not only handsome, he's also fashionable and...
Put the video for employee of the month award...
- ... on standby. - Wait.
Hi, Yunseo. We were just about to play it.
- Don't turn it on. - What?
Something came up.
What's the use when she's not here?
Darn it. Would it still be better to play it?
Yunseo.
Let's just go as planned.
Play the video.
Video, standby.
Now we will honor the employee of the month.
Please come to the stage when your name is called.
Ms. Lee Sojin of Design Team 1, please come to the podium.
A round of applause, please.
Soyeong!
Ms. Lee Sojin must be nervous.
Please give her a warm welcome.
- Please step up to the podium. - My goodness!
- What are you doing here? - Let's go, okay?
Go where? Your sister's on the stage.
- We need to go. - We have a special surprise for the awardee.
Although Ms. Lee Sojin is a contract employee,
she excelled at her work, and for that, she is being honored today.
This is a first since our company's founding.
That is why it is all the more meaningful.
A special video was put together for the awardee.
Let's see what it is.
Wait.
Pardon?
I'm sorry.
But I'm here because there's something I have to tell everyone.
It won't take long.
Could you please hold the video?
Hello, everyone.
I'm...
I'm not Lee Sojin.
My real name is Lee Soyeong.
And I'm not 25 years old.
I'm 34.
