(Episode 29)
We have more customers in their 20s and 30s now,
but I think the major customer base is those in their 40s and 50s.
You think?
I know that our major customer base is those in their 40s and 50s.
Are you sure?
I checked the home shopping related data,
as well as websites and articles.
What's more important...
is that I used to work at the call center of a home shopping channel.
I have a close friend there, and she gave me information.
Then we know for sure.
Most of our customers must be in their 40s and 50s,
but let's widen the range and aim for those in their 30s to 50s.
I think that's a good idea.
Women in their 40s nowadays don't look their age.
They dress young and you'd think they're in their 30s.
Do you know the designer brand Soo Jeong Boutique?
Yes. Why?
From what I heard,
K1 Home Shopping wanted to do a collaboration with them.
Soo Jeong Boutique seems to have turned them down.
It's popular to not only working women...
but also to middle-aged women. It's the most preferred brand.
Soo Jeong Boutique is?
I don't like it.
It's a brand all women want to wear.
Shouldn't you find out why?
I guess so.
Go to Soo Jeong Boutique,
take a look at all the clothes on display,
and buy a few you like for sampling.
Me?
Do you have anyone else in mind?
Well...
Can't you go instead?
Do I look that free?
I'm busy. I have plans.
You won't go?
Actually...
You took those clothes and sold it?
How could you do that when you want to be in the apparel business?
I really had no idea.
Whether you did or not, of course they would be upset.
I would've done the same.
It may just seem like clothes to others,
but it's a piece of art to the designer.
You'll understand once you design something.
It's still work, so get going.
Are you serious?
Of course I am.
Don't you understand why I'm telling you to go there?
I told you to never step foot in this store.
I'm here to shop.
Shop?
Yes.
First, I'd like to apologize.
I'm sorry about illegally selling your clothes last time.
I should've known better before selling it.
I was proved innocent, but it was wrong.
Who says you're innocent?
The police did.
I asked them to let you go...
because your mom desperately asked me to.
I felt bad for her and dropped the charges.
As I told you before, I'm a bad daughter...
to have made my mom get down on her knees.
I will never make her do it again because of me.
Are you trying to make a point?
No, I'm just reminding myself.
I wanted to remind myself while looking at you.
Leave my store.
I told you I'm here to shop.
I know you aren't happy to see me, but will you kick out a customer?
You.
How dare you show your shameless face here!
Why are you here?
That's enough.
Jin Hui, don't you recognize her? It's that girl...
- that took your clothes and... - I know.
Then why are you just standing there instead of kicking her out?
She's a customer.
Treat her politely with respect.
Jin Hui.
I told you she's a customer.
Didn't you hear me?
Yes, of course.
Make sure she has everything she needs.
All right, customer.
What kind of clothes are you looking for?
First, I'll take a look around.
Do you know where CEO Yoon is?
She stepped out for a moment.
Let me ask you for a favor.
Keep an eye on that girl and see what she does.
She's taking a look at the clothes.
That's not what I mean.
She's the one who stole our clothes and sold it with Na Kyeong Mee.
- What? - Keep a close eye on her.
Hanui Apparel?
- Did you meet Ha Nui on your own? - No.
Then how did they become a partner?
I was against this.
Did you read the product description?
Yes.
When I asked how it looked, you said there were no problems.
Yes, I did.
It may look fine on paper, but the CEO knows nothing about clothes.
I believe there's a co-CEO.
There's a co-CEO?
He came to see me last evening.
His name is Kim Ho Cheol.
He worked at a home shopping network for a long time,
so I know him well too.
His name is missing in the application, but it's certain.
You were fooled by Ms. Kang Ha Nui.
That woman is a person who would fool others easily.
I met CEO Kim Ho Cheol in person, and yet you're saying I was fooled?
CEO Kim knows more about clothes than any one of us here.
I read over the product data sheet, and I found nothing wrong.
And the designs are perfect for the current trend.
Moreover, the price is very reasonable too.
It's a very good offer. Mr. Lee.
I don't understand why you disagree to launch their products.
CEO Kang is also very enthusiastic.
You saw how hard she tried without knowing her shirt would be torn.
- Ma'am. - Ms. Hwang, stay out of this.
You always made decisions from an objective perspective.
So tell me exactly why you are against this company.
I'm sorry.
Review the documents again.
I asked him to send us the product quality report once he gets it.
So check it when you receive it, and set the broadcast schedule.
I understand that you hate me more than you hate cockroaches.
Nevertheless, please review these and reconsider your decision.
Could you please just look at my products?
You could've made a different decision if I hadn't been the CEO.
I'm thinking of adding illustrations related to the content.
- What do you think? - That would be even better.
The images will help the readers understand the story.
Right?
My gosh. I was inconsiderate.
I didn't even offer a drink to such a distinguished writer.
We have coffee, green tea, and juice. What would you like?
- Coffee, please. - Please give me a moment.
All right.
- Sir, here you go. - Thank you.
Have you found an illustrator?
Not yet. I'm going to start looking for one.
Do you happen to know anyone?
No. I don't know any illustrator either.
Who drew this?
I think these drawings would suit my book.
Right. I thought the same,
but unfortunately, I don't have his contact information.
Really? I think I saw his social media address here.
Here. Do you think this is his social media address?
What?
Sir, you are sharp-sighted.
- I'm back. - Hey. You're back.
I was going to call you to ask when you'd come back.
- Let me see. - Okay.
Look at them.
They're elegant and classy. The fabric is nice too.
The clothes of that brand are all sophisticated and simple,
so I can see why the women in their 30s and 40s like them.
Oh, right. Here you go.
What is this?
It's the product quality report of the T-shirts.
What did you say the name of the MD at K1 Home Shopping is?
Give it to him.
Pardon?
You promised Mr. Choi you would help him,
so you should keep your word.
But, Mr. Kim, he refused it.
(Cockroach)
Hello?
This is Lee Han Gyul.
I know.
Sorry?
Yes. We just got the report.
Okay.
- How did you know he'd call me? - I have a lot of experience.
I just knew.
Mr. Kim.
- Hi. - Hello.
Hello. CEO Kang, I hope your business will become successful.
Thank you.
Mr. Choi, about the T-shirts...
Never mind. I'll tell you when I'm back.
- I'll get going now. - Put it here.
See you later.
(Product Quality Report)
Have you warehoused your products?
Yes.
The products were made in China. Did you display that on the labels?
Yes.
You received a passing score with the product quality evaluation.
All right, then.
Do you have anything else to ask me? Please ask me anything.
Wouldn't it be better for both of us...
if you send your employee instead of coming here by yourself?
I mean, we'll have to meet up like this until the broadcast ends.
Please send your employee next time.
Okay. I'll do that.
That's all for today's meeting. Goodbye.
Ms. Hwang.
- Did you have a meeting? - Yes.
Thanks to you.
I didn't do anything.
You convinced Mr. Lee.
In fact, I gave up on it.
It wasn't me. It was CEO Kim Ho Cheol...
I heard he's the co-CEO.
Yes, he is. How do you know him?
It looks like he solved the problem.
You didn't know?
Not at all.
I heard he's quite famous in this industry,
- and he also owns trademark rights. - That's right.
Seeing that you're working with a person like him,
I think you're competent.
It's not like that.
I told Mr. Kim I would do it well, but I'm embarrassed now.
I thought I pulled it off, but it was Mr. Kim who did it.
You're wrong about that.
You're the one who pulled it off.
If it hadn't been for you, he wouldn't have done anything.
What to do next is more important than who got it on this channel.
Even though it was a rough start, do your best since you started it.
Okay. I will do everything in my power,
so I can repay you.
Make sure to repay me.
By the way, didn't we agree to speak to each other casually?
Oh, I forgot. We're friends now.
Thank you, my friend.
Did you do it on purpose? Or did you really not know the answers?
Both.
Aren't you worried about the transfer exam?
"Worried"? Hey. I was born with a silver spoon...
I mean, I was born with a diamond spoon.
I'm in a higher social position than you.
Try this.
You won't get to drink such expensive tea like this elsewhere.
This is puer tea from Shandong Province, China.
Puer tea from Shandong Province is a high-end and luxurious tea...
that not everyone has a chance to drink.
However, you...
I mean, Teacher, you're so poor...
that you probably don't know.
But I'll be generous and let you taste it just this once.
You think I'm obnoxious, right?
If you hate to see me, quit the tutoring.
Please. I'm begging you.
It's not as bad as I thought.
"Not bad"?
I told you this is very expensive tea.
For puer tea, the taste matters more than the scent,
so you should taste it before buying it.
When it's brewed, it should be as clear as wine...
and as dark as dark chocolate.
One more thing. The famous area for puer tea...
is Yunnan, not Shandong.
Let's review the questions you got wrong after drinking the tea.
Ddolddolli, here's a snack for you.
Ddolddolli, didn't you hear me?
Here you go. Eat your snack.
What's gotten into you lately? You won't listen to me.
How adorable.
You look similar to a puppy that I know.
Well... Please put Ddolddolli down.
He could get hurt if you drop him.
I'm sorry.
Ddolddolli, come here.
Ddolddolli.
Ddolddolli, come here right now!
I'll get going now. Goodbye.
How dare you? Have you aged and gone senile or something?
You can't even recognize your owner. How could you wag your tail to her?
Ddolddolli, you won't get any snacks for a while.
Do you hear me?
Darn it. Because Dong Seok is not home,
he's not behaving himself.
This is jangtteok!
I thought you might be getting hungry and brought you some.
I'm not sure how it tastes.
My mouth is already watering.
It smells amazing.
Enjoy it.
I have to get back to the store because no one's there.
All right. Thank you.
- Enjoy. - I will.
I have a bad feeling about today,
and I haven't even had my first customer yet.
I feel like I stepped in dirty water.
Excuse me.
Were you talking to me?
- No. - Then who were you talking to?
I was talking to myself.
I always talk to myself.
Is it because of the hot weather? I hear cicadas.
They're so noisy.
Like mother, like daughter. They're both so shameless.
I don't believe it.
I should let it go since I have more class.
My goodness.
I tried it on, but the strap is too long.
You can shorten it.
It's still too long.
Please punch a couple more holes in it.
All right.
How long will it take?
It won't take long.
- Have a seat here. - Okay.
Oh my, this is jangtteok.
It looks delicious.
Yes, would you like some?
You can use those chopsticks.
Would that be okay? It doesn't seem like you've tried it yet.
It's okay. It's delicious. You should try some.
Thank you. Let's see.
Is the food from that store...
any good?
Yes, of course.
Food depends on the person that makes it,
and that store is known for its good food in this neighborhood.
Is that so?
I don't think you should go there.
Why would you say that?
What's wrong with me going there?
You know.
It'll only be uncomfortable for both of you.
I don't care, since I didn't do anything wrong.
But I'm sure she'll feel guilty.
Noblesse oblige.
The privileged should be generous.
Should I show my generosity?
Welcome.
I'm here to buy some side dishes.
There isn't any.
What are you talking about? All I see is food everywhere.
I don't have any to sell to you. I'm not selling it to you.
I'm a customer.
How could you treat a customer like this?
Shouldn't you be polite and respectful?
This food...
is made with my sincerity,
hoping the people that eat it will enjoy it.
And you're asking me to sell it to you?
I can't let my sincerity be wasted on you.
Did you know your daughter came to shop at our store today?
She bought three outfits,
not just one.
I was still polite to her. Do you know why?
Because she was a customer.
You can't differentiate your customers.
I was going to be generous and buy some food but forget it.
Seeing how you treat your customers,
I wouldn't want to buy your food and find poison in it.
What did you just say? Poison?
You differentiate your customers.
You might sell food with poison in it to customers you don't like.
I saw on the news...
that someone put pesticide in food and created chaos.
Are you serious?
I'm a cook.
I...
don't play around with food like that.
Who knows?
You could say it wasn't your fault...
even if someone gets sick after eating your food.
Even your daughter...
pretended not to know anything about the clothes incident.
- Like mother, like daughter. - How dare you!
Watch what you say.
How dare you say such a thing!
What do you think you're doing?
Get out of here.
Stop it, stop it. Stop it, Ms. Im.
Move out of the way. You should kick people like her out.
That's enough.
- What if someone sees? - Who cares?
People as rude as her should be shamed!
I told you to stop.
Why can't you think about the consequences?
Do you want Ha Nui to be embarrassed along with you?
Bring it on.
I'm going to record this and hand it to the police.
Bring it on.
I'm not scared of you.
I just don't think you're worth it.
What?
I'm not worth it?
- Stop right there! - Wait.
Don't let her get to you. Your purse is ready.
Move out of the way. I can't take this.
This fight won't do you any good.
She may look weak,
but once she's upset,
she might break your tiny waist like it's nothing.
She's scary.
Well...
I'll only stop here on your account.
Why that...
Have a nice day.
Does she have no pride?
Why did she go shopping there?
- Hi. - Hi.
Give that to me.
I wonder if it was good.
It was.
What happened in the front there? There's salt everywhere.
I'll have to clean it up.
I'm sorry.
I'll clean it up.
No, it's my job. I'll do it.
Did something happen?
So, that's what happened.
If I think about what happened,
it still makes my heart beat faster with anger.
She went too far,
looking down on others just because she has money.
You probably can't imagine what she's like.
I've never seen such an evil person in my life.
I get angry and upset every time I see her.
She makes me grind my teeth.
Your teeth?
That's not it.
I wish there was a way I could get rid of her.
Eun Ae, getting upset won't do you any good.
It'll just anger you.
Be generous.
You know the saying, "Love thy enemy".
Leave if you're going to say that.
Love?
I won't forgive her until the day I die.
Never.
This is driving me nuts.
I can't seem to get all of it out of my hair.
What happened?
I was trying to be nice but got ambushed.
I got salt poured all over me.
Who did that?
Do you remember the girl that was shopping here today?
It was her mother.
Why?
Why do you think? It's because I called the police on her daughter.
Really?
That's ridiculous. You're the one who should be upset.
You can say that again.
She's rude and irrational.
Is your mother at home?
Yes.
Why did my mom suddenly quit?
Didn't she say anything?
She said Dad told her to quit.
This is a secret, but my parents have made up.
They aren't fighting anymore.
Really? Are they back together?
Yes, but it's a secret.
All right.
So Hyun must not have said anything to her.
Why are you home so early?
I worked outside of the office.
Where is Leo?
I don't know what he's doing, but he hasn't come out of his room.
What are you doing?
Chew it well.
It shall be 10 times more effective than your remedy.
Everyone, I'm sad to say this, but this will be the last time...
this product will be sold on this channel.
You will regret if you miss this chance.
So make sure to not miss your last chance.
We sold this product on this channel...
three times before,
and it was sold out every time we sold it.
I did a field test of these jeans many times.
Everyone who saw me complimented the jeans.
You can also wear these.
Please keep in mind of the quantity we have here today.
Congratulations. I heard it was sold out.
Thank you.
You might become the sales queen.
I hope my project will go well too. I'm worried.
I'm sure it'll go well.
Did Han Gyul leave for the day?
Yes, just a moment ago.
He probably won't be in a good mood.
I bet he's having a drink alone somewhere by now.
(MD Hwang Ji Eun)
"Do your best,"
"and forget the consequences."
Walter Alston.
(I have your notebook. Please contact me.)
(Silver Purse)
Hello? You picked up so quickly.
I was just curious.
Shouldn't you have the courtesy...
to tell me how it went, since I bought a gift for your mother?
Did you make up with her?
You'll tell me if I buy you dinner?
If I buy? Should it be you who buys?
Chili.
Good.
It's good.
Why aren't you eating?
Why are there only two pieces of sundae in sundaeguk?
The meat is more expensive than sundae.
Look. This is pig ear, and this is the stomach.
This is also the stomach.
My gosh. This is a very rare part.
It's pig tongue.
You don't like sundaeguk?
Why didn't you say so?
I thought it only had sundae in it because it's called sundaeguk.
- Have you never had sundaeguk? - No, I haven't.
Let's go to another restaurant.
That's okay.
You said you were craving sundaeguk. Enjoy it.
I don't want to torture you. Let's go.
I'm okay. Just eat up. Let's not waste food.
Then try just one spoonful. It's not like how it looks.
No. You shouldn't force others to taste food.
Eat up now.
I'm going to eat now.
I tasted it because you told me to taste it.
It tastes better after adding some condiments to your liking.
Taste it again.
Let's tell each other our names at least.
No.
You always say no to whatever I say.
Let's say we run into each other, and we're so delighted...
that we call each other "Silver Purse" and "Alcohol Angel".
Everyone around us would look at us.
I don't care.
Silver Purse, wait up!
Silver Purse!
Why would you scream like that? Keep it down.
I just wanted to show you as an example.
It's Hwang Ji Eun.
My name is Hwang Ji Eun.
Don't ask me about anything else. I won't answer any questions.
I'm Park Do Gyeong. Park Do Gyeong.
Alcohol Angel.
I like you, Alcohol Angel.
(Sunny Again Tomorrow)
When will you come to your senses? When?
- Illustrations? - Are you interested?
By the way, is this really a publishing company?
Where did you buy this young radish kimchi?
The owner of the side dish store is that girl's mom.
What? Mom is hurt?
How badly is she hurt?
- Get in. - Thank you.
