How dare you raise your voice to me!
Apologize to her.
You!
She's my god.
Do you understand?
Jung-min.
Will you let go of my hand now?
I'm leaving.
Get in. I'll drive you home.
I want to go alone.
How can you leave like this?
How do you think I'll feel if you leave like this?
I'm in no condition to be concerned about your feelings.
Ji-eun.
Let go of me.
It was a mistake for me to get close to you.
You can date him, but just don't cause me concern.
Don't make too much noise.
I'll pay you handsomely.
I'm not that kind of woman.
Then you should never have seduced him!
How dare a piece of trash like you set her sights on my son!
I love Ji-eun.
No, you love what she has!
It seems like what you need isn't Ji-eun, but money.
How much do you want?
I have no intention
of accepting you as my son-in-law!
Pick it up!
I don't want to get even a tent let alone an apartment
for her when I think about you.
But Ji-eun can't live in this dump!
Do you have to turn me into someone without any pride
when your parents already treat me like trash?
Please answer.
Answer, Ji-eun.
I know why they say you wouldn't even notice
the person next to you died when the food's so good.
This is even better than lobster
because my husband's love is in it.
Why isn't my sweetie eating?
It's enough to just watch you eat.
You actually came.
Have a drink.
I have to drive.
Then I'll drink alone.
Don't. I think you've had enough.
Yes, I'm a little drunk.
But I won't make a scene, so let me be.
The longer I live, the more I realize
that the old sayings are never wrong.
What goes around comes around.
I'm getting exactly what I deserve
for what you went through.
My dad was so bad to you.
You had to listen to such harsh words.
He even slapped you.
And he threw water at you.
And he even threw an ashtray at you.
So actually, what I'm going through is nothing
compared to what you suffered.
What is it that you want to say?
What do I want to say?
I don't like seeing you this way.
Why not?
Aren't you glad?
I think I'd be cheering if I were you.
Don't look at me like that.
Couldn't you laugh at me?
I'll drive you home.
Do you know why I asked you to come?
Because I thought I had to say I'm sorry.
I thought I had to say it.
I'm sorry.
Good night.
Why does it have to be this jerk?
Why do you have to let him treat you this way?
Think about why you ended up in a wheelchair!
Do you think I'm fond of him
when he's responsible for your being this way?
You call this comforting?
Do you have to do this to me?
You're making it more difficult for me!
Your life with him won't be happy!
I can just see him dragging you around
for the rest of your life!
I know, I know that!
But what can I do when he's all I ever think about?
Dad, I can't live without him.
You know that very well.
Foolish girl.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Please help me.
Don't ever let him leave me.
Please answer me.
Please promise me.
Don't worry.
You can leave him, but I'll see to it
that he won't be able to ever never leave you.
I shouldn't have called you.
I'm thankful that you called me.
You finally said you were sorry.
We're such fools.
No, I'm the foolish one.
Everyone's a fool.
We say hurtful things
because we don't have enough patience.
We turn around and regret it.
And then we try hard to forget.
But we're reminded from time to time and that hurts us.
Most people live foolishly because
they can't overcome that crucial moment.
We should've been more patient.
I was never a good woman to you.
Do you know why I was determined to succeed?
I wanted to succeed and get back everything I lost.
The people I lost, the time I lost...
I wanted it all back.
I have lots of memories of you.
The first time we met...
What you were wearing that day...
I remember you standing drunk outside my place.
I remember you parents dragging you
sobbing from the Jeju villa.
Our wedding day...
I remember the dress you wore.
That's why we should've endured it all.
I'm sorry.
There were so many things I didn't know back then.
No, I'm sorry.
I was deliberately horrible to you when we met again.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too for not knowing how difficult your life was.
That's enough.
We should never have met again.
No, I should've left you alone from the beginning.
No, I shouldn't have let you go then.
We can't go back now.
Just as I'm not the immature rich girl I was,
you're no longer the poor student.
I don't think I'll be uncomfortable
even when I see you in the office.
Today was just a dream.
Bye.
Don't feel bad.
It was the result of my
wanting something I can't have.
What are you implying?
Get to the point.
Your father will never acknowledge our relationship.
This is something I can't handle,
and I can't ask you to share with me either.
If your father talks to me again, I'll get angry at you,
and you'll feel bad about it.
And we'll get tired of each other.
So it's best that we end it here and now.
I feel like you've deceived me.
I thought you knew how I felt about you.
I'm sorry.
You really are disappointing me!
Yes, I want to end it with just disappointing you.
Shouldn't you trust me as I trust you?
Don't say anything.
I'm being really patient, so you should be patient too.
It's a great morning, isn't it?
You should go in first, since your position is higher than mine.
These days consumers choose the brand, and not the product itself.
Do you know what I mean by that?
Consumers buy products based on
what the brand's image represents,
and not necessarily the quality of the product.
And brand visibility is
one of the biggest assets for a company.
Good.
This is the design office.
A brand manager oversees a product from beginning to end.
It means you have to acquire
a lot of knowledge about the product.
It also means you'll be working on not just the
production part of it, but sales and marketing as well.
But what's most important is for you to analyze
the preferences of the consumers.
So hands-on experience is a must.
That means you have to work at the boutique first.
Yes, I understand.
I'm Lee Ji-eun.
Nice to meet you.
Please help her get used to her new job.
Go change into you uniform first.
Yes, I'll do that.
Let me.
We're at work.
I should get going now.
CONTRACT
The other attorneys won't even associate with me
if they find out I notarized such a contract.
So 10% of your pay will go directly into my bank account every month.
Just do your part as outlined in the contract.
You know that Producer Nam won't even
talk to me if she finds out.
You just do your part well.
Do you have to resort to this to win her heart?
The problem is that you took too long to win her heart.
The worst part is
that Bok-ja still thinks of Yeo-jin as a kid.
You're going to be paid for your services, and...
Wait a minute. Am I doing this for free?
Attorneys make a lot of money.
But she's getting 10%...
Let's go!
It's time for Producer Nam to come to work.
In war, you have to have a good strategy.
For example, in the Vietnam War...
I know, I know.
Just get back to work.
Yeo-jin, strategy is the key!
So when Bok-ja comes in, you have to be affectionate.
Like this...
Sweetie, why didn't I realize sooner that you're my love?
You know that I love you more than anything?
Of course I do!
I just regret that we've only now found each other.
I hate to be away from you for even a second.
But I have to go in for make-up.
You do?
Yes.
See you later.
Sweet.
Bye!
Are you seeing her?
What's wrong with you?
Have you gone crazy?
Let's talk.
Am I crazy if I'm dating Young-eun?
Yeo-jin, you're dating her because
you've given up on trying to get me to go out with you.
I like her. I really do.
Don't say that!
She may be my friend's sister but she's no good for you!
You two aren't suitable for each other!
Stop meddling in my love life.
You really are a jerk!
You were following me around,
confessing your undying love just yesterday!
Yes, I was!
But that was only until yesterday!
I'm going to go get the item list.
Why am I so furious?
I'm shaking...
Is Lee Ji-eun here?
I want the one on the bottom.
And the shoes.
Does it look good on me?
My Will likes this color.
Yes, it's pretty.
I'm only trying to boost your sales.
Thanks.
Don't mention it.
What are friends for?
Here.
Sorry.
You know who I am?
Sure.
She's my close friend.
Please take good care of her.
Sure...
I didn't come to fight with you.
But I must've ticked you off again.
I really despise you.
I get angry when I see you.
Why do you have to be my Will's ex-wife?
If you weren't...
No, if you hadn't loved him, we'd still be best friends.
I'm late.
I'm seeing a doctor because I haven't been feeling well.
I didn't come to upset you.
I just wanted to boost your sales.
I was bad to you.
Ji-eun, just hear me out without getting upset.
When you cry, I cry tears of blood.
This is the only way to help the joints you haven't used
get moving again.
You have a lot more endurance than other patients.
I might as well get it over with if I'm going to go through it.
You did a good job.
You've taken good care of your bones.
Although you've been able to bend your knees before this...
I think you'll be able to bend them completely by next week.
These are both this season's key items.
Is that so?
This will make you stand out on special occasions.
Of course, we only sell a limited number of them.
But you may think it's too bold
if you're new to our line.
I have a ton of clothes that I bought
and never wore more than once.
Will this be better?
This one gives off a look of luxury,
but it's comfortable to wear.
You won't get tired of the classic design.
I'll take both.
Sure.
Thank you.
That's enough.
Hello, sir.
Hello.
Aren't you going to greet the CEO?
You must be busy with the upcoming show.
Then you should buy us lunch.
How about lunch at the company cafeteria?
What's important is that you're buying us lunch.
May I join you?
Of course.
Enjoy, Director Seo.
You too.
Aren't you even going to say hi?
Please excuse me.
It's bad manners to leave before your superiors.
It's all right.
You must be happy that the CEO favors you.
Isn't it only natural for a CEO
to be good to his employees?
You're so kind.
Don't eat too much.
I don't find women with bellies attractive.
You did a fabulous job making the merger happen.
And now you've successfully launched a new line.
I think hiring a professional was the right answer.
That's not always the answer.
A professional only concentrates on short-term profits.
Isn't that true, Mr. Jang?
I don't think this is the right place for your comments.
This is an official gathering.
Then let's talk in a non-official setting.
What kind of attitude was that in front of the buyers?
I told you not to let your personal feelings get in the way.
Weren't personal feelings involved
when you were interacting with a brand manager?
What do you see me as?
How much longer are you going to see me as her ex-husband?
We're at work, and I'm your boss!
A boss that can always be replaced by my dad!
Do you think you can say anything you want?
Do it again, and I won't put up with you any more.
Look, Jang Sae-hoon, stop being a coward,
and don't keep hanging around her!
Say you want her if you want her!
Can you give her to me if I want her back?
So that's how you truly feel.
Do as you please.
It'll be interesting to see the results.
She was my life at one time!
And she left me!
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't feel anything
every time I see her!
You can love someone only
when you can be responsible for your feelings!
What does Mi-ran mean to you?
That's none of your business!
Seo Jung-min, listen good.
The reason I accepted Ji-eun for the position wasn't
because she's your girlfriend or because she's my ex-wife.
I acknowledged her potential
to become a great brand manager.
I didn't hire her so you could have an office romance!
This is your last warning!
Stop being so arrogant!
Do it one more time, and it's either you or me!
She was my life at one time!
And she left me!
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't feel anything
every time I see her!
Sir, Ms. Yoon Mi-ran's on the line.
Yes.
I didn't call you last night because it was late.
At home?
You didn't have to fight.
Do you know what happens when water and fire meet?
Steam evaporates and nothing's left behind.
Stop provoking Jung-min.
You should indulge him under any condition.
Under any conditions means
someone has to suffer, which is unfair.
I can't let him go on
if his personal feelings are affecting work.
Do you want a glass of wine?
I have to go back to the office.
I know that work is the only excuse you can use
to avoid being with me.
Who are you?
Why are you following me?
Why can't you just leave me alone?
How could you stoop this low?
What are you talking about?
You know very well what I'm talking about!
How dare you raise your voice!
I had you followed because I wanted to know
what you were up to!
Come inside!
I'd give up my life if it meant Mi-ran could walk again.
Do you know how I feel seeing my daughter in a wheelchair?
Why do you make her cry?
What did she ever do?
The only thing she's done is love you.
Do you know why I had you followed?
Is there another woman?
No.
Okay, I trust you.
Forgive me for having you followed.
I just felt bad for her because
she does nothing but wait for you at home.
Look, you're the only man for her.
You know I'm grateful to you
because you said you'd be responsible for her.
Don't try to force me to stay.
It was an accident.
I want to make it clear
that I didn't choose her out of responsibility.
If you want to call it responsibility,
I feel responsible for the choice I made.
I'm well aware of that.
Don't worry. I won't ignore her.
Can I come in?
I won't let you!
Tell me why you want to break up!
I stopped liking you.
Is that reason enough?
Do you take me for a fool?
Are you going to change your mind if my dad apologizes?
Fine. I'll tell him to apologize.
There's no need for that.
I don't want to end up in despair because of broken promises.
I'll make him apologize!
There are things you just can't accomplish.
Why can't you trust me?
It's not that I don't trust you.
I just don't want to be in a difficult relationship.
If your love is strong enough, you can endure it.
I can't endure it.
No, I don't want to even try.
I wanted to find a new life because I was unhappy.
I wanted to hang on to you because
making a living was so hard.
Then hang on to me!
I can't do that.
It's foolish to trust someone else with my future.
How much longer do you have to step on my pride
to make yourself feel better?
I'm sorry.
I'm tired of hearing that!
Do you know why you should feel sorry for me?
Because you don't love me.
I don't want to love again!
Let's forget about everything now.
Bye.
Does this have anything to do with Jang Sae-hoon?
Why can't you answer me?
You shouldn't have said that.
Maybe I shouldn't have.
But I wanted to say it and it needs to be said!
Do you know how I feel when I see you together?
I feel like I'm going to go crazy!
I'm not ashamed of feeling jealous.
Because it's an honest feeling.
Is it just jealousy?
Isn't it because you don't trust me?
Okay, I don't trust you!
I don't know what your truth is!
Just when I feel you've taken a step forward,
you take two steps back!
I wanted to step forward,
but the circumstances make me step back!
I think and think but there's no answer!
So I decided to choose my life instead.
Who says you can?
You can leave me but I can't leave you!
Do you know why?
Because I love you too much.
Love is not that big a deal,
so please don't stake everything on it.
It's all meaningless.
Apologize to Ji-eun.
How dare you!
You're trying to lecture me
now that you're hanging out with that trash?
I can't let her leave me because I love her too much.
You stupid idiot!
Why of all woman, did you have to pick up trash?
You have no right to say that when it comes to women.
What?
Say that again!
Say that again, boy!
Apologize to Ji-eun.
You've stuck a knife through her heart.
This is no time for you to chase after women!
Mr. Jang is making a name for himself in the industry
while you're chasing after trash!
You stupid boy!
I told you to get married, not get a job!
You're the reason I age every day!
Why do you insist on working there
when Sae-hoon's there?
I work to earn money.
You sure are taking this well.
I'll become a brand manager and have you live in luxury.
Why are you such an idiot?
Don't you know your life will change
when you marry Jung-min?
His family won't let me.
Did his family say something?
Your daughter's a divorcee.
Why should I jump into marriage
when I've done it once?
I'm leaving.
Ji-eun!
Ms. Lee, are you busy?
You don't regret working here?
It's too late for me to have regrets.
God always has other plans I don't know about.
How are things going with Jung-min?
It's over.
Why?
Because I couldn't find a solution and I felt bad for him.
I have to go back down to open the boutique.
Get in. I'll get out.
We have zucchini and carrots.
And we have bay leaves.
I need 2 egg yolks.
Okay.
And...
Yes?
I need a lemon.
We ran out of lemons.
Then go buy some.
Okay.
I'm worried because Mi-ran's depressed lately.
I'll take this one.
Yes, sir.
