This.
Your talent.
I want to buy it.
At an immensely expensive price.
Hold on, Mr. Tae.
There has to be a meaning in everything.
What is...
the meaning of this?
Who cares?
I need you, and you need money.
Let's say that's the meaning.
Let's say it's fate.
If I were to kiss you right now, would I be insane?
I would be.
Help me steal something.
This man's heart.
(Cha Soo Hyun, Soon to Marry Heir Tae In Joon?)
Just a moment.
Follow me.
(Episode 5)
She gave me this.
This is the first time anyone's seeing these?
If not, neither would be here.
This shoe or you, He Ra.
Do you want it?
Obviously.
Then promise me one thing.
Whatever I do,
don't fall for me.
Answer me.
Say yes and this becomes yours.
Okay.
I'll send a truck tomorrow.
Send every single pair.
It would be nice if you hitched a ride too.
Not yet.
You never know what'll happen.
Mister, he has to catch the last train to Seoul.
Drive fast.
"Mister."
"He has to catch the last train to Seoul."
"Drive fast."
Come here.
If you ask me how much I saw,
I'll tell you I saw you naked and clothed.
That's gross.
That's not gross. That's being grown-up.
You cheeky thing.
Shall I go with him?
He offered to pay me a fortune.
What's that look about?
Koo He Ra.
Pick what's good for you.
What's good for your life.
Don't think about anything else and pick what's easy.
What's easy?
Nothing's easy.
Everything's either a bit quick or a bit slow.
Help me with this. Let's send them off.
You're putting me to work again.
My gosh.
(Goryeo Daily, Shin Ji Hye)
- Hi. - I just sent it.
I got it. Thanks.
Are you up to something?
Like what?
Why go to such lengths before you're married?
You're looking into his business partners too?
I'll buy you dinner soon. Thanks.
(Goryeo Daily, Shin Ji Hye)
- Was that In Joon? - No, it was work.
He hasn't called?
That's not charming.
Thinking about us at work and work while he's here?
Men like that never get anything done.
Right. You're the better person and you see the big picture.
There's talk that...
you risked too much on promotions to help In Joon.
Is that okay?
We needed shoes anyway,
even if they weren't his brand.
You're better at business.
Chairman Cha, it's not too late.
Goodness, no. I'm sick of business.
She insisted on getting into the TV industry,
but when In Joon settles in, she should support him.
My gosh, will you really?
Yes. I asked Dad to give us...
this and that so I can support him well.
My only daughter is sucking me dry.
That sounds scary.
It sounds as if you want us to give up all we have too.
Why would you say that?
Give us a lot, if you can.
We'll make it worthwhile.
The foxy thing.
"Give us a lot, if you can."
You're on the verge of becoming two-faced.
At least don't act like you're so sweet.
She keeps pushing the boundaries because we aren't making a stand.
You need to stop her.
Don't put up with everything.
From what Mr. Hyun said, she expects to take everything.
Right, Mr. Hyun?
I'm not sure.
Weren't we on the same side?
We need to share information if we're to negotiate.
Who's negotiating?
You stay out of it.
Is he really that busy?
It's Hong Kong. The Centan people must be giving him a hard time.
I didn't speak to keep the mood light, but I was peeved.
Would you like him better if he neglected his work...
to make everyone happy?
Come on.
Lawyer Kim says we're playing too nice.
They think they're being too nice.
What?
Then can I go high this time?
See what they offer.
They can't do anything without the Gonjiam plot.
In Joon's home.
I apologize. Something came up.
Don't apologize to me.
You wanted to appease your lifeline.
Was it worth missing the dinner?
Yes. Even more so.
I'll crush Centan and aim for a bigger market.
I'll revive the shoe business.
In business, if you focus too much on one thing,
another part suffers.
Chairman Cha and his daughter seem to be having other ideas.
Don't drag things on. Set a date.
So,
from now on, listen in on what goes on in there.
How can I do that?
With this. Be a human listening device.
It would be too much of a hassle to bug the office.
I can't... I can't do that.
Hey! Make yourself worthwhile.
You eat and do nothing in return, you worm.
Get out. You're ruining my appetite.
I'll say it again.
Don't give Chairman Cha time to weigh his options.
I'm done helping you now.
Mr. Hyun.
Stop gathering information for him, and don't help him out...
with getting business deals.
What you need right now is Chairman Cha's power.
Beg or beat him if you need to so that you can take that power.
You can start thinking afterwards.
Dealing with humiliation...
can wait until the game comes to an end.
That's when you can choose to either be merciful or cruel.
But in the meantime,
you just need to win no matter what.
What's going on?
I'm sorry.
Ah Jung accidentally dropped something.
We'll brew another pot of tea and bring it to you.
Hey, you. Are you crazy?
You're unbelievable.
I can't believe you're even eavesdropping now.
Jung Ho...
Shut it.
You good-for-nothing brat.
I'm getting paid for having accepted you...
just because of your money.
My goodness, you fool.
Gosh, you really need to know your place.
I'm sorry. I apologize.
I won't ever do it again.
"I'm sorry. I won't ever do it again."
Hey, didn't I tell you not to say things you don't mean?
My goodness gracious.
Mom.
Honey.
Take her someplace private and hit her.
The workers will spread rumors.
My gosh.
Hey, you're here. Take a seat.
Yes, Father.
In Joon.
You better make some achievements.
That means I'll soon be making a public announcement.
Are you asking me to buy your stocks?
Should I buy some for you?
I'm saying you should worry about your company.
Good job, Jung Ho.
I told you to trust me more than your cousin.
When are you going to report the official announcement to me?
I'll report it to you soon.
- I'll be off now. - Already?
We're going to start talking about you now.
You should sit down. I'm sure you'll be interested.
I met Jin Tae Oh of Centan Department Store.
What?
I showed him the land in Gonjiam, and he was very positive about it.
So I told him we should discuss building a shopping mall there.
He sounded interested.
A lot more interested than shoes.
- You little... - In Joon.
You idiot.
- What did you just say? - In Joon.
Hey.
Cut it out, you two!
You useless fools.
Take him outside.
You should go outside.
Okay, carry on.
Yes, Father.
You should've told me that you ran out of kimchi.
It was completely empty.
You went to my place?
Am I not allowed to?
It's my job to fill your fridge with side dishes.
Secretary Kim is a great employee.
I can't believe he told you the passcode to my place so easily.
Don't try to blame it on him.
All I did was check the fridge.
You probably checked everything else but the fridge.
You don't need to come by anymore.
I'll get rid of the fridge so that you can't use it as an excuse.
Tell me beforehand if you're going to use anything else as an excuse...
so that I can throw it away.
Can't you be a bit more kind to me?
You'll end up regretting this later on in life.
You must be regretting...
what you did to my mom.
Hyun Joo.
Do you remember?
What are you thinking about?
What about you?
I'm thinking that everything feels...
like a dream.
You're right.
The past couple of days went by in an instant.
Hyun Joo.
Do you know...
that Dad's watch never really worked?
He could've either fixed it or thrown it away.
I asked him why he keeps wearing a broken watch.
And do you know what he said?
"A broken watch..."
"is at least correct two times throughout the day."
"My life may be a complete mess,"
"but at least my watch tells me the correct time two times a day."
That's what he said to me.
What he said back then really consoled me...
and made me think it could be the same for me as well.
That's why I didn't fix the watch either.
But Hyun Joo.
It's funny how Dad always turned out to be wrong.
I don't even ask for much.
It just needs to be right at least two times a day.
But my time is either always too fast...
or too slow.
Let's steal something together.
Someone's...
heart.
Your talent. I want to buy it.
At an immensely expensive price.
So I'm going to start making a move.
I'm going to stop...
living my life on autopilot.
I'm going to try to meet the right timing on my own.
I'm going to start being greedy.
I want to see where my shoes will lead me to.
I don't regret having held that guy's hand.
You were right. He came to see me.
I told him that I'll go.
And I'm going to send him my shoes first.
I told you that he'll come find you.
I knew he'd come for you, He Ra.
Bring it to me.
Bring me his heart along with the shoes you sent him.
Since we're on the subject...
I told you that I'm the only one that gets to bargain.
I'm not trying to bargain. Just think of this as a partnership.
I need to take someone with me to Seoul.
I want you to help me out with that.
What's this? You're really acting as if you're my business partner.
That's what stealing's all about.
If two people don't click, it all ends up going down the drain.
I'll take care of...
your sister's hospital fees.
- Do you have more to ask for? - No.
I'll take care of the rest.
Don't try so hard to find out the passcode now.
Unwanted people have been frequenting my place.
I think I might as well remove the door.
I must be one of them, and so is Ms. Han Sung Sook.
You're right. I told her.
I have to give her something to get close to her.
Don't do that with the passcode to my place.
You can't get close to her anyway.
You want opposite things from each other.
That's true.
Ms. Han wants you to fail miserably,
and I want you to become the head of the group.
But that's also why I'm trying to befriend her.
You must know your enemy.
It doesn't matter what your intentions are.
Isn't that why...
you met with the Centan people in the middle of the night?
You even missed my dad's birthday.
What do you want to know?
Well?
Who's giving you such a hard time?
Do you want me to tell you what you know or don't know?
I'm just saying.
I'm curious.
I thought you'd already have all the information you want by now.
You didn't give me time.
You didn't.
I had to fill in your missing spot,
so I had no time.
You're showing off, so it sounds like you did well.
You give compliments...
in such a weird way.
If there's too much, you look stupid.
It's a good shape. It's just enough.
It looks natural.
Just how I like it.
You can't cross the boundary. This is a marriage of convenience.
This looks like it's a marriage full of love.
I'll send you some shoes, so you should evaluate them.
(Gold Shoes)
We're moving, so we can't treat you to anything.
I'm sorry.
- Please take good care of them. - Sure thing.
(Gold Shoes)
Sun Young, let's have jjajangmyeon.
You're supposed to eat it on the moving day.
Let's eat the last jjajangmyeon of Busan.
He Ra.
Koo He Ra.
You know I don't ask you questions, right?
You can tell me when everything is over.
Still, don't take all the load on your shoulders. Whatever it is.
Sun Young.
If Hyun Joo, Eui Gun, you, and I...
can live together,
I'll do anything. I can do more.
I won't regret it.
I know.
I'm looking everywhere to see how we can live together.
Let's see what the four of us can do together.
Jjajangmyeon is still on you.
(Ambulance)
(Emergency Services)
(Episode 6 will air shortly.)
General Manager Koo.
Hello.
Here you go.
(Employee ID: Koo He Ra)
The board directors are having a meeting,
so I was told to escort you.
This way, please.
The new poster got released.
You know our company uses a model every year, right?
Cha Soo Hyun became a freelancer and became our model.
People liked it very much.
This is the year's teaser poster we released...
after the renewal of our brand.
Let's go.
It's me. We need to meet.
We need to meet? Why?
I have something to ask and something to hear.
Let's meet first.
Are you getting along with the new general manager?
You're their model.
Did you not know?
What are you talking about?
Elaborate.
I'm saying you shouldn't be meeting with me.
There's a thief lady from Busan.
She's at In Joon's office.
(Episode 6)
- This way, please. - Okay.
Good morning.
Hello, I'm Koo He Ra.
She's General Manager Lee Hyun Jung.
You can introduce yourself formally when Mr. Tae gets here.
That's your seat.
All right.
Let's start the meeting.
You don't need to come in.
Mr. Kim, you should show her around the building.
I'll come in too.
He can show me later.
Good morning.
You really came.
You're actually here.
Shall we have a chat, He Ra?
Keep it short, whatever it is.
I heard about it today.
But the thing is, I don't want you here.
"Who are you to tell me that?"
Please don't ask me such obvious questions.
I'm not curious enough to ask you that.
But I do...
want to know why.
If I tell you,
will you leave?
I keep telling you not to be so clingy,
but why can't you get the message?
Do you know how much I had to spend to keep the reporters...
from writing anything about your reckless behavior...
in Busan?
Do you know how much I had to spend...
for that overnight show?
Isn't it...
so unfair?
People like you have nothing to lose.
If you get lucky with a guy, that's good.
If not, you can start looking for someone else.
But I'm always the weak one when it comes to fighting people like you.
Because I'm expected to win, and I look pathetic if I lose.
So...
So I'm just going to cut you out before you can even do anything.
Is that good enough...
to answer why I want you out of here?
It not only answered my question...
but it also tells me you're a lot more weak-hearted than you seem.
You won't be able to stop me.
See?
Look at you talking back at every single word I say.
I told you before that I was born and grew up in Haeundae.
I told you that it's a piece of cake to do a background check on you.
So...
while I'm still being kind enough...
to try and convince you with words,
you better stop.
Your money went to waste.
I know my life wasn't fancy,
but I didn't live so recklessly either.
Now, I understand why you're so obsessed with me.
To me, Mr. Tae In Joon is...
someone I should thank for acknowledging my competence.
But to you, he's a fiance you very much adore.
So stop provoking me.
I'm starting to want things now.
You're making me want...
to steal him from you.
What?
What are you doing?
Let me go.
Mr. Kim.
Please escort Ms. Cha...
politely.
Where are you going?
I'm going to a meeting.
It's my job.
The color's important, and so is everything else.
But the most important thing is the detail.
We...
I'm sorry.
You may continue.
The detail is important.
So we need to start all over again, okay?
Understood.
We need to talk.
What do you think you're doing?
I know we're getting married, but there are boundaries to keep.
Thank you for saying what I wanted to say instead.
In that sense, you should fire her.
Then I'll keep my manners.
Soo Hyun.
This is my workplace, and I'm the CEO.
Don't cross the line.
I can no longer put up with...
your interfering with my company matters.
"Interfering"?
Did you forget?
My face is plastered all over your company building.
Do you think I'm just a model?
No, I'm the face of your company.
I'm not interfering. I'm participating.
I hired you as our model.
You're an outsider.
Are you saying...
you're going to keep her here?
Answer me!
Cheer up.
And good luck with your shooting.
Now, I understand why you're so obsessed with me.
To me, Mr. Tae In Joon is...
someone I should thank for acknowledging my competence.
But to you, he's a fiance you very much adore.
So stop provoking me.
I'm starting to want things now.
You're making me want...
to steal him from you.
Can you give me a second?
Mom, it's me.
Can you send me some of the wild ginseng we got?
I'm going to take them to Chairman Tae's house.
Just send them to me. You don't need to gift-wrap them.
Okay. Bye Mom.
She's like my enemy.
Those are top quality wild ginseng, and she's taking them away.
Goodness, Ms. Han.
Ms. Lee.
Soo Hyun just called and asked me to send her something again.
I think they're for you.
My gosh, she's practically family.
She doesn't need to bring us anything.
Is your daughter-in-law done with her skincare?
She's already changed.
She already has great skin. She doesn't need any skincare.
You're right. Her skin's glowing.
Gosh, I've talked too much.
- You should go inside. - Okay, bye.
That shallow wench.
What an annoying witch.
Gosh, my stomach.
Mom, I need to go to the bathroom. Gosh, my stomach.
Why does your stomach hurt? Hurry up and go.
Gosh, my stomach. It hurts so much.
Jung Min, that hurts. My gosh, it hurts.
Give me that.
Jung Min, are you trying to run away?
My gosh.
I was locked up for over a month.
Don't you feel sorry for me?
Jung Min.
You'll only get me in trouble if you do this.
Mother told me to keep an eye on you.
"Keep an eye on me"?
Do you want to die?
Jung Min.
Gosh, you talk way too much.
I'll take responsibility, so just make something up.
If she finds out, just tell her I died or something.
Get out of my way.
Hey, is it really because you're trying to find a job?
Yes.
Give it to me.
Who's your friend that introduced you to the job?
You won't know even if I tell you.
It's just a friend.
What is it this time?
"Just a friend"? You've already lost my trust by saying that.
Your friends are all pretty obvious.
You're making me angry now.
What's wrong with my friends?
Forget it. You better come home early today.
Seoul is a great place to get scammed, you know.
Don't get yourself in trouble.
Seriously!
Stop acting like a country girl.
Hey, you! Did you seriously just...
His Seoul dialect sounded perfect.
(Uncle Jung Soo)
- Hi. - Where are you?
I'm on my way to the gym.
Come home.
Soo Hyun came to visit, and she's talking to your dad.
He wants you to come home.
Okay, let's hang up for now.
You're here. Come sit down.
Soo Hyun came up with a very good idea.
You should give her a position at your company.
What?
I said I wanted to help you out with your business as soon as possible.
He says I should be a non-executive director,
but it's too early for that.
I think I'll be able to...
contribute a lot if I get a position as the art director.
I think we should talk about...
Don't bother.
I really think it's a great idea.
Father.
Okay.
Will you be okay? You'll have to work as an anchor at the same time.
I'll just try my best.
I consider In Joon's business as my own.
This is great.
I hope you do your best to support him.
Okay, Father.
What are you trying to do?
You already saw and heard everything.
- Soo Hyun. - You're the one who told me...
that a model is nothing but an outsider.
You told me not to interfere.
So I decided to become a member of the company.
If I become the art director,
I'll be participating...
instead of interfering, right?
So...
don't provoke me.
♫ It's too early, but I still want to show you more ♫
♫ Cheer up, baby Cheer up, baby ♫
♫ Keep it up a bit more ♫
♫ A woman shouldn't give her heart away so easily ♫
♫ That way, you'll come to like me even more ♫
♫ I'm going to pretend ♫
♫ Like I'm completely fine ♫
♫ So that you don't... ♫
Get out, all of you.
Get out of this room!
Jung Min, what's wrong with you?
- I want you to leave as well. - Me?
Hey!
I want new guys!
Hey, what is this?
You didn't tell me about this. You said I'll be waiting tables.
Hey, this is the same thing as waiting tables.
Gosh, whatever. You can leave if you want.
But if you enter that room, you'll easily make 1,000 dollars.
1,000 dollars? Are you serious?
Yes.
Okay, they're ready.
Everyone, say hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
You should give her a position at your company.
If I become the art director, I'll be participating...
instead of interfering, right?
Do you have one more?
These days, we get in trouble if an employee stays at work for too long.
I'll work quietly and make sure I don't cause any harm.
Then I'd be grateful.
Everything went by so quickly...
including what happened this morning.
I'll thank you properly...
once this project ends.
We need a new design...
to settle our collaboration deal with Centan Department Store.
We'll be making test products,
and the final decision will be made based on them.
And I personally want your shoes to get picked.
I have faith in you.
But it's okay to make mistakes.
There's still time to warm up.
What is it?
I'm regretting my decision to come here.
I'm an expert in giving other people a hard time.
Are you going to stay?
You can leave first. I have something to take care of.
(Gold Group)
How did you know...
that he was returning to work?
(Jin Tae Oh)
How was it? Weren't you glad to see him?
When coincidences keep repeating, it becomes fate.
What do you think, He Ra?
I don't know about fate,
but I think I deserve to know why.
Only I get to ask questions.
You just answer.
Let's just do what we agreed on.
I refuse unnecessary bargaining or any show of interest.
You broke the agreement first.
You said I could pick the temperature.
You can pick the temperature.
I won't be dragged around no more.
From now on,
I will make...
my own fate.
