- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry too.
- Are you done now? - What?
I'm sorry.
- No problem. - Hang on. Wait!
Do Hoon, what's up?
Who's that? Is it someone you know?
(Episode 23)
I'm sorry for keeping you wait.
We'll head to China next week.
That soon?
Are you too busy?
No. I'd love to join you.
Is this your perfume I smell?
You have fine taste.
I bumped into someone earlier today.
It's a woman's perfume. Are you cheating on your wife?
Come by the office tomorrow.
I'll introduce you to my team.
Yes, Sir.
What brings you by?
I know you hate the idea of remarriage,
but how could you date a man who washes cars?
What's so wrong with him?
He's far better than the ones you set me up with.
You know how your dad is.
You're lucky he only gave you a warning.
Let me tell you this.
I won't forgive him if he's hurt in any way.
Make time tomorrow evening to go to Yeheung Gallery.
You'll say hello to CEO Shin and his son.
Otherwise, your dad will stay angry for long.
All right.
- Were you off somewhere? - Yes, to see a friend.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
It's all right. I crossed the line too.
From now on, I'll try my best to get along with your mom.
Thanks. My mom probably regrets everything too.
Look at you two.
Don't you care who sees?
Dad called for me.
Why is Mo Ah here though?
Father asked for me too.
Should I just leave then?
Don't bother.
I couldn't care less if people found out about you now.
What's that smell?
Are you wearing perfume?
No, I'm not.
It's that of a woman's.
We should go.
Anyway, thank you.
What about?
Thanks to you, I found out how much he cares about me.
His wife may be important to him, but not much as his mom.
What do you two think about having a wedding?
You never got around to that.
It'll be a good way to introduce Mo Ah.
What's the point in having one now?
It's funny how you think you get a say in the matter.
Okay, fine. As if they'd say no.
You'll do it, right?
Yes, we'll have the wedding.
Good. You should start planning it, then.
The forgery investigation into Woomi Gallery...
turned up slush funds,
and now other galleries are being looked into.
Really?
I'm sure everything's clean on your end.
Yes, of course.
Our gallery is known to be nothing but honest.
How's my slush fund being managed?
Well, Ma'am. It'll be hard to trace.
Who'd dare touch my gallery anyway?
We're more prestigious than Woomi.
There's no harm in taking precautions.
How much did you...
put down Choi's painting at?
10 times the actual price.
Mark it at the original price.
Have our recent profits wired into our official account...
and make sure that the books are flawless.
Yes, Ma'am.
Here's a list of the daughters of rich families.
As if any one of these would marry Chun Soo.
Don't you know who we are?
We're the in-laws of TMO Group's CEO.
Didn't you say that Mo Ah was a murderer's daughter...
and that she'd bring us all down?
You didn't even want to take her in.
It was proven to be a mistake, so that's that.
Anyway, don't get your hopes up.
Chun Soo doesn't stand a chance.
You never know what might happen to a person.
Mo Ah's living proof of that.
She looks nice.
Who?
Cha Young Hwa?
My gosh.
Grandma, she's the daughter of Assemblyman Cha,
a man set up to run for president.
That's why I chose her.
They're rich and powerful.
No one would ever look down on us again.
But she's a divorcee.
She's divorced?
Let me choose another one then.
Here. Take your pick.
It'll blow your socks off.
Okay, let's take a look.
The youngest daughter of Ohsung's CEO.
The daughter of Tosung's CEO.
Unbelievable.
You're out of your mind.
Why on earth would they agree to a date with me?
Is this why you asked me over for lunch?
Unbelievable.
There's no harm in picking one from the list.
Her. I choose her.
Hang on. I think she's a much better candidate.
Sook Ja, can you call and set up a blind date?
Here. There's the number below.
Are you out of your mind? You can't be serious.
What's there to lose?
Is this the secretary's office?
Yes, this is Taehwaroo.
Could I set up a blind date with the CEO's daughter.
Yes, of course. Thank you.
What did he say?
"Get back to your cooking."
Now don't say I never called.
Mom, could you set me up with a girl group member?
Someone from AOA.
- You idiot. - Shut it!
Just eat your lunch.
Everyone in AOA is awesome though.
My gosh.
Here you go.
Sir, please don't be so angry.
Save it.
When will you vacate the property?
Sir, I said I'd buy it from you.
With your words?
I already was once tricked by that.
Sir, please hear him out.
I want you out as soon as possible.
I need the money before my son marries.
Sir, please.
What now?
Don't worry. I met Do Hoon today,
and I'm soon off to China.
Really? Then can you get some payment up front?
You lied about who you are, but you still helped him.
You pulled all-nighters every day.
I should ask him once things go well in China.
You never can catch a break, can you?
Nam Hui's dad got sick and you took care of him.
Then you worked off piles of debt while caring for your kids.
Why dredge up the past?
Still, if it weren't for my kids, I'd be as good as dead too.
Rather than looking for another place to set up shop,
you should work at the CEO's with me.
I can't because of Nam Koo.
Besides, there was an incident between me and his wife.
She apologizes for that by that way.
Really?
But I doubt she really means it.
She had no choice because the CEO loves your food.
She wants you by soon, so when will it be?
I don't know.
Tell them you'll never come.
Now's not the time to let your ego take over.
You still have a lot of debt.
Who knows? If the CEO's fond of you,
he might hire you as his driver.
I'd have to be insane to be his driver.
Where's Nam Hui?
Well,
she's been in her room watching camera footages all day.
- What are you doing? - Finding my money.
Where did I lose it?
- How much did you lose? - Five dollars.
I'll give it to you, so stop watching.
You wait and see. I'm going to find it.
It's Young Hwa.
When was she here?
I should ask her.
Don't.
Why not? Give it to me.
I said no.
Did you just erase her number?
Why did you do that?
Why would you call my friend anyway?
Don't you have those of your own?
That's right. I don't have any friends.
I don't have friends, nor a boyfriend...
which is why I follow you around all day.
Here are those who applied for the space.
(Cha Young Hwa)
"Chic093". I've never heard of it before.
It's a brand...
that's been a leading force in home shopping.
The designer studied in the US and she's quite well-known.
- Where's the office at? - Cheongdam-dong, Sir.
That's good. I had business there anyway.
I should take a look around.
What a great idea. It's very respectable.
Could I maybe join you?
That's all right. I'll head there myself.
(Kang Nam Koo)
Thank you for saving me earlier.
Do I know you?
That's right, the flower pot.
I don't know how you found me, but you don't need to thank me.
I already thanked you though.
Anyway, I'm here to buy an outfit.
I'm actually yet to open a store.
I'll write down my online address.
I'd like to see what I'm buying first.
Could I take a look around?
Ms. Park, please show him our collection?
Yes, Ma'am.
If this is how it's going to be,
then a department store isn't right for you.
I'm from TMO Group.
(Director Shin Do Hoon)
A wedding?
Yes, we'll have it as soon as Mother wraps up her exhibition.
Finally, it all came down to this.
Unbelievable.
Just days ago, they were ready to kick you out.
After the storm comes the calm.
Congratulations.
Keep a short leash on Do Hoon.
Men turn to their wives when they're poor,
but they forget you once things get better.
Here's exhibit A.
Come on. Do Hoon would never turn his back on her.
He only has eyes for me, so don't worry.
You'll leave the interior design to us.
No, it should fit the mood of my clothes.
Actually,
it needs to be consistent with the other stores.
My friend helped with the design,
so I can't compromise.
The store's location...
I want the largest space.
- That won't be possible. - Then what is?
You can't always get what you want.
You need to play fair.
I will once you lower my commission.
Why am I paying more than others?
I'm the boss here, not you.
If you want your way, run your own mall.
I'd love to, but I'm short in money.
This is a waste of time then.
Since I'm grateful for what you did earlier,
I tried to make this work,
but I guess it's not meant to be.
Look here, Mr. Shin. What do you even know about clothes?
You don't seem to know much about fashion,
so maybe you're the problem here.
The perfume's Oscarento.
Do you wear Oscarento?
How did you know that? It's an obscure brand here.
Who's the problem now?
Anyway, call me if you change your mind.
Woomi Gallery purchased work from unknown painters,
claimed it to be those of masters,
and forged the books to make it look legitimate.
It bankrolled their slush fund of millions of dollars.
That stupid cow.
What if the prosecution heads our way next?
Sorry?
It's nothing.
So did you and Do Hoon decide on a wedding date?
No, not yet.
Don't tell me you're going to invite your entire family.
Of course I will.
I'm going to invite all of my friends including Joo Hui.
Whatever. Do what you want.
- I'm home. - My gosh!
You're home.
What's that?
It's nothing. I'll head upstairs then.
What's this?
It's a perfume.
(1,150 dollars)
It's too expensive.
To you, the price stands out more than the brand.
I don't want it. You should take it back.
How much do you think your outfit is?
Your perfume should be of that level.
All right, I'll wear it. Satisfied?
That reminds me. Can you take a look at my proposal?
Mr. Ma told me to write one up.
What do you think?
Don't use English if you don't know it.
Truth be told, I spent most of my time...
looking up a dictionary while writing this.
Then take some classes.
Do you want Jae Min to think you're stupid?
What?
Of course. I'll get right on it.
(Home Shopping in China)
Time sure flew by.
Did you pull an all-nighter?
You're up early. Go back to sleep.
No, I'm good.
Mom, do I have a clean shirt?
Are you going somewhere?
I guess you can say...
it's a job interview.
It's more or less that.
Are you looking for a job...
and giving up on the auto shop?
I'm doing this in order to save it.
Good morning.
No one's here.
(How to Utilize China's Home Shopping Network)
Who's he?
Excuse me.
Let him sleep. He must be tired.
Who is he? Do you know him?
He's the friend I met in English class.
This is him?
What's he doing here though?
(Unlike offline sales...)
You're here early, Sir.
Unbelievable.
Sir,
I know he's your friend, but this is quite rude.
I'm sorry.
- Wake him already. - Yes, Sir.
Excuse me.
Hey.
If you're not busy, I'd like a word.
Mo Ah, can you get the files regarding our operations in China?
Yes, Sir.
That's not how you wake someone up.
Sir, I apologize in advance.
Wake up!
That was one refreshing nap.
Finally, you're here.
All of these?
We never do anything halfway.
Here you go. Open it.
Oh, my. This is the one I wanted.
How did you secure it?
It's not for you.
It's my gift to Mo Ah.
Here.
This is from me.
Do you like it?
Well...
Don't mind me.
Try it on and see how it looks.
Here.
It's beautiful.
It suits you well.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
I know he's your friend, Sir.
But we're more than capable of supporting you.
I knew you'd all doubt me...
which is why I put together a marketing proposal.
Hang on. Where did it go?
That's weird. I for sure left it here.
Can you look over there?
Unbelievable.
This is all probably a lie.
I assure you, it's not.
Sir, did you perhaps see it?
I don't think I did.
Hello, Sir.
Stand up!
He's new. I haven't seen him around here.
Hello, I'm Joo Seung Soo, your new business partner.
- Are you Chinese? - No, I'm Korean.
- If I may translate... - I understood that.
I see you have a Chinese name though.
A local once asked me...
why Koreans give themselves English names...
when operating in the US,
but not a Chinese one when working in China.
Nobody has more pride than the Chinese.
Who is he trying to lecture?
- Sir, I'm sorry. - He's not wrong though.
Who brought him on?
He's my friend.
A college friend?
No.
Actually, he's...
We once took a class together.
- Which school did you graduate? - I'm a high school dropout.
- Is that going to be an issue? - Not at all.
Go through proper channels with HR though.
Mr. Shin, can I have a word?
You can just bring anyone on board.
Everyone's eyes are on this China operation.
That's why I need him.
Is he to use as a shield...
when things go south?
Of course not.
Besides, if things don't work out, I'll be taking responsibility.
Take responsibility?
No one would ask that of you.
Only those with power can take responsibility.
Mess this up and I'll be reprimanded.
You still...
see me as a nobody.
I'm trying to warn you...
before your confidence bites you in the behind!
Take a look.
(Benefits of Home Shopping)
Who wrote this?
I did.
Are you still worried now?
Without further ado,
I'll tell HR to instate Nam Koo.
- What? - What was that?
- China? - China?
Why are you so surprised?
Did you get the job? Which firm is it?
Mom, don't fall for it.
He's probably going on a vacation.
Just so you know, I was accepted at a big company.
Which one is it then?
Well...
Youngkwang Department Store.
Really?
It would've been better if you worked at TMO.
I'm not a full-time employee.
It'll be gone for about 10 days, so take care of things here.
Whatever the landlord says, don't be intimidated.
Nam Koo.
You can't. This isn't for pleasure.
Can I go if I promise to stay quiet?
If you could, it'd be nice of you to take her.
Mom, please.
This is to save our shop, so my answer's no.
This is a surprise. I didn't think you'd like paintings.
I could say the same thing.
Did you perhaps follow me here?
Did I follow you?
Why are you here then?
I bet it's not to look at paintings.
I was summoned by two nagging ladies.
So have you thought about my space at the department store?
I already made myself clear.
The art world is on edge because of...
the investigation into Woomi.
Tell me about it. One rotten apple spoils the barrel.
I'm sure you have nothing to worry about since...
all your paintings are divine.
Young Hwa's running late.
My gosh. Is she stopping by?
Yes, I wanted her to say hello.
That's great. My son will be here soon.
Young Hwa, it's been a while.
How have you been?
As good as I've always been.
There he is.
Say hello to Ms. Min's daughter.
Young Hwa, you should say hello too.
This is Ms. Hong's son, Director Shin Do Hoon.
I'm sure you haven't met each other.
Thank you for bringing your business to our department store.
On the contrary. We're the ones who are grateful.
Nothing's final yet. There are a few problems.
Problems?
Do Hoon, what's this about?
It's nothing we can't solve out ourselves.
Okay, sure.
Young Hwa, I love that scarf. It's exquisite.
Would you like it? I only wore it once.
My gosh. Really?
Don't be rude, Young Hwa. You should buy her a new one.
Ms. Hong, I'll get a new one for you.
It's quite all right.
Besides, she's the designer. I should be honored.
This perfume...
I didn't know you wore perfume.
Do Hoon bought it for me.
I'm sorry. My perfume's quite strong.
No, it's all right.
Ms. Min, we should take off.
I think we're only getting in their way.
Sure.
It was nice meeting you.
Don't you think they make a great couple?
They do, but your son's already married.
Wouldn't Do Hoon make a great son-in-law?
Yes, of course. We'd be honored to welcome him.
My son could get a divorce and marry her.
Sorry?
Gosh, I was joking.
I'll make sure to buy you a new scarf.
It's actually very cheap.
Don't tell your mom though.
She'd be embarrassed to find out.
Anyway, we should talk about your store once again.
Why?
Is it because my dad's Assemblyman Cha?
Don't get ahead of yourself.
It's because you're talented...
and famous in your field.
What did you do before you found your parents?
- I was a postgraduate student. - That's admirable.
I thought you'd have suffered without them.
I heard your wife is also a postgraduate student.
What is she studying?
She studies aesthetics.
I see.
Your mom must be pleased with her.
Did you meet in college?
I'd rather not talk about her.
You should be nice to her.
If you don't, you'll get a divorce like me.
- So your store... - I'm bored.
That we should talk about at the office.
I'll see you.
How dare she offer me a cheap scarf?
If she was someone else, I would've bit off her head.
- Did something happen? - What?
No, it's nothing.
That reminds me.
Why did Do Hoon suddenly buy you perfume?
Probably because I don't have one.
Yes, of course. Think however you like.
Mother,
the director of Woomi Gallery has been arrested.
So?
My friend works over there and...
she said that things are pretty bad.
Shut it.
I've already heard all about it.
I'm home.
You're late.
I had work to discuss.
Is Jae Min asleep?
I forgot that I promised I'd read him a story.
I'll go to him right now.
Do Hoon.
Why are you home so early?
I left so that you could get to know her.
That's why I left. It felt awkward.
As the future CEO,
it's part of the job.
Did you really think that I liked her scarf?
I'd rather not talk about her.
Mo Ah's perfume is what Young Hwa wears.
It didn't mean anything. I just like the smell.
That won't transform Mo Ah.
You can't put lipstick on a pig.
Besides, it's far easier to put lipstick on something else.
You might actually hurt the pig while trying.
Nothing you want will ever happen,
so stop forcing me to meet her.
I'll head upstairs now.
If it weren't for Mo Ah,
I'd gladly welcome Young Hwa.
Is that our wedding band?
No, this is mine.
It's from your dad.
It's pretty.
This is our wedding band.
Give me your hand.
Until the wedding, I'll wear what your dad gave me,
so you can wear this.
Don't you dare take it off.
Mo Ah.
Would you like to quit work and go to college?
Perhaps study abroad.
Are you ashamed that I only finished high school?
Of course not,
but you wanted to go to college.
You're smart, so it won't be too hard.
I'm good where I am. With you and Jae Min,
my hands are already full.
(List of Sales)
Ma'am, the prosecutors are here.
What?
We must be their next target.
- Clear out our storage now. - Yes, Ma'am.
Where are you off to?
And who are you?
We're from the prosecutors' office.
Sir, you're needed at the gallery.
What's wrong?
The prosecutors are there right now conducting a search.
What? A search?
A slush fund?
I know nothing about it. Now leave already.
We'll know once we investigate.
I'd like you to follow us, please.
- Seize everything. - Yes, Sir.
