(Episode 37)
Silver Purse.
I didn't know I would meet you here.
I guess you two share the same office too.
Yes, we do. I called you several times yesterday and today.
I'm sorry. I've been busy with work,
so I forgot to call you back.
Did you try to avoid me?
No. Why would I?
Why did you call me?
Yesterday, I called you because my work was going well...
and I was in a good mood.
Today, I wondered why you didn't answer my calls yesterday.
You must've forgotten.
We're just drinking buddies.
I know, but I was just curious.
Are you very close to Ha Nui?
I've known her for a long time, so I'm quite close to her.
For a long time?
Does that mean Ha Nui has been living in Seoul?
Never mind. I'll get going.
Where's your car?
I didn't drive here. I'll take a taxi.
I'll give you a ride.
That's okay.
I guess you were out doing market research.
Yes, I thought we should compare this year's trends to last year's.
Thank goodness I had this spare set of clothes...
in case I ever pull an all-nighter.
- You had spare clothes? - Yes.
I'm sorry. That happened because of me.
- You're okay, right? - Yes.
I'm relieved.
Oh, right. You said you were here to see Ha Nui.
I have something to tell you, but another time. I'll call you.
Okay.
Aren't you going?
No, I need to stay for a meeting with Ms. Kang.
Ms. Kang.
Do you have a list of last year's fall trends?
Oh, yes. I'll find it.
I should wrap up and leave for the day too.
Ji Eun, let's leave together. I'll give you a ride.
- It's okay. - No, it's not okay with me.
It's not like we're strangers. I should give you a ride.
Let me escort you.
All right, then. You two should get your work done. We're off.
Let's go.
Ms. Kang, what are you thinking?
I asked you for the list.
Here you go.
I said I can go by myself. What's the matter with you?
They might get the wrong idea.
Then our mission is accomplished.
What do you mean?
The mission to make him jealous.
Do you have feelings for Ha Nui?
Or...
Did you figure it out?
We're drinking buddies after all. I should know that much by now.
I don't want to speak for all men,
but we, men, can be emotionally slow and insensitive at times,
especially toward those that are close to them.
When a co-worker is being nice to them, it never occurs to them...
that she might be doing that because she has feelings for them.
Are you speaking from experience?
Of course. I worked for other companies for a long time.
Making the guy jealous is the best strategy in situations like this.
That's not from experience. I read about it in a book.
Let's get going before they find out.
- It's time to go home. - Okay.
Let's go.
That's a wish bracelet.
- You know about this? - Do you have a crush on someone?
I won't tell you.
What's she doing here?
Silver Purse!
Dad, you're getting in just now?
It's hot. You should go inside. Why were you lying out here?
I just got home too. Let's go in, Dad.
All right.
With Soo Jeong Boutique?
Yes.
I rejected their offer at first,
but I found out...
that it's a charity event for helping the less fortunate.
It's about helping others,
so I couldn't turn a blind eye to it.
I've agreed to do it.
Have you met the CEO yet?
No, I haven't. I don't even want to meet her.
Well, I probably won't need to meet that woman at all.
But you're working with them.
Her employees relay all of her instructions to me.
Oh, I see.
Hey.
Don't tell Ha Nui and her mom, okay?
Nothing good will come out of them finding out, don't you think?
Okay, I won't tell them.
Won't it be stressful for you though?
I should do it even if it's stressful.
I don't like the fact that it's with Soo Jeong Boutique,
but their work gets acknowledged,
and they want to work with me.
I must say, I was flattered when I got the offer.
Hey, opportunities like this don't come by easily at my age.
Dad, I admire you.
Hey.
Look at what your dad can do.
I'm so awesome.
From the photo...
Ji Hoo, aren't you going to study?
I'll study after watching this.
You can't watch TV and play all you want if you want to study.
Go to your room now.
Just let him be.
He just had dinner. He needs time to digest the food.
Gosh, Mom.
I'm home.
- Come on in. Did you eat dinner? - You're here.
- Yes, I did. - Okay.
- I'll go upstairs. - Okay.
Mom, Ji Eun had a bad dream last night.
How do you know that?
I went to the bathroom last night, and I heard her crying.
What kind of dream was that to make her cry?
I'll discuss with my wife and consider...
I'm tired, Mom.
I heard you had a bad dream last night. What was it about?
It was nothing.
My goodness.
Oh, right. You did a nice thing.
I heard you sent flowers to my friend.
Yes, I did.
I'm sure you had a reason for doing that.
Did you want to win me over?
I like Lee Han Gyul.
Your friend's son.
Sorry?
So please don't be mean to your friend.
I'm not going to be mean to her,
but why shouldn't I be?
I said I like him.
As much as I want to marry him.
I haven't even seen her son before.
And you're telling me to consider him as my future son-in-law?
Yes.
I don't believe you.
Are you serious?
I've been having a crush on him for a long time.
Think she's going to be your in-law, and be nice to her.
They say a parent with a daughter is always at a disadvantage.
I mean, I don't even know she'll be my in-law or not,
and you're telling me to please her as if I've done something wrong?
You know that's not what I'm saying.
Since she's your friend, it'd be nice to get along with her.
Mom, I have a headache. I'll go to sleep now.
Okay... All right.
Anyway, don't think I approved him yet, okay?
I'll never marry you off to just anybody. You know that, right?
My gosh.
Seeing that Ji Eun talked about love,
she must have a serious crush on him.
I should look into him.
Hello? Sa Rang, it's me.
Can you tell me if Do Gyeong is at home now?
You don't know?
Come on. Please go downstairs to check if he's there.
You can just see if he's there or not.
Please. I'm begging you.
He's at home.
You just said you didn't know.
Are you sure he's home?
I saw him when I went out to throw out garbage.
I just lied to joke around you.
I see. Okay. Bye.
Good. He's home.
Have you finished sorting last year's fall clothes...
by fabric, design, and price?
Well, yes. I'm working on it right now.
- Let's wrap up. - Pardon?
Is the meeting over?
Pack all the clothes to use as samples and all the documents.
Please leave it.
I'll do it. It's getting late. Please go home first.
We'll go to K1 Home Shopping.
Keep in mind that we might work all night to finish the proposal.
And pack everything.
Clothes must be practical,
and look sophisticated.
Of course.
They're good to wear during the change of seasons,
and people can wear them under a sweater.
Let's go with a package of three blouses.
What do you think?
Blouses?
We're also trying to come up with a package of blouses.
Then let's make a proposal in that direction.
Okay.
By the way, Mr. Lee,
may I ask you a question?
It's good to work on the proposal.
But if you work all night because of me...
How should I put it?
Do you...
really not know the reason?
Your company is a start-up company, and if I just trust you and wait,
I'm afraid I might waste my time, let alone launching a new product.
I hate wasting my time the most.
I understand.
Have you named your new brand yet?
Yes. It's Sunny.
It looks like this.
We've heard what you two had to say.
Let's take a vote.
So Leo didn't join Hangang Apparel.
He wants to work at Hanui Apparel or whatever it's called.
If he works at such a small company, he'll get paid poorly...
and work overtime at night almost every day.
If you think he should...
join Hanui Apparel, raise your hand.
Okay. One vote. You can put it down.
Now, if you think he should work at Hangang Apparel,
a very large company that will offer him an incredibly high salary...
and extra pay for working overtime,
raise your hand now.
1, 2, and 3.
Okay. Put your hand down.
Accept the majority decision, Leo,
and join Hangang Apparel. That's all.
I'm an adult.
I made my own decision.
Gosh, Leo. If you listen to your elders, good things happen to you.
She's absolutely right.
We're doing this for your own sake.
Han Na, I'm disappointed in you.
Leo. Leo.
He's as stubborn as a mule.
Can foreigners be stubborn too?
Anyone in the world can be stubborn.
Go upstairs, and talk to him.
Come on. Talk to him.
Leo.
You're overqualified for a company...
that sells clothes on a home shopping network.
Don't you understand that?
You're a world class designer.
You should go global.
This company can go global even though it's a small company.
My dream is to become a great fashion designer.
I want to make clothes that I like...
rather than being exploited at a large company.
I want to make clothes with honesty that consumers desire...
rather than expensive clothes.
That's why I chose Hanui Apparel.
Leo, I understand what you mean,
but a small business can fail more easily.
You can't be sure if that's a decent, solid company, right?
Fine. You said they sell clothes on a home shopping network.
Which network do they work with?
- K1 Home Shopping. - K1 Home Shopping?
K1 Home Shopping? The company Han Gyul works at?
Yes.
Does Han Gyul know too?
Does he know that you joined Hanui Apparel?
Leo!
Does he know or not?
I don't understand Korean so well.
It's difficult.
- Cockroach! - Where? Where is it?
Pardon me? What are you talking about?
The cockroach.
I... I had a dream about it.
Oh, you came early.
Good morning.
- Did you two work all night? - Yes.
Hello.
- Drink this. - Thank you.
Oh, my. It's good.
I look awful, don't I?
I couldn't wash my face.
You don't look bad.
Ha Nui, is your birthday from the lunar or solar calendar?
I'll make a note of it.
Solar calendar. However, my birthday on my ID is different.
- Is it? - Yes.
My grandfather register my birth later because I was sick.
Was the birthday you celebrated the date on your ID?
No, that was my real birthday.
Whose photo was it in your wallet that I saw at the karaoke?
It's a photo of me and my mom.
My dad took that photo, and it's my favorite one.
I don't remember it, but I almost died in an accident as a child.
So my mom and dad adored me so much.
I heard they treated me like a princess.
Where did you live when you were a child?
I lived in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province. Why do you ask?
In your photo,
you look like someone I used to know.
Really? That's funny.
I guess I have a common face.
Is Kang Ha Nui your birth name?
Yes, my dad gave me that name.
It's from the name of the west wind.
He wanted me to become a person who's like the cool, refreshing...
summer breeze.
Then can I ask you something too?
The guy you like...
His last name isn't Park, right?
- What? - Oh, right.
The last name initial is L, isn't it?
Yes. Why are you curious about that?
No reason, never mind.
Hi, Mom.
No. I haven't even eaten yet.
I'll send some food with Do Gyeong, so you should eat that.
I packed enough food for several people to eat.
You don't need to thank me.
Ha Nui.
Working hard is good, but remember to look after yourself too, okay?
All right.
She's just like her dad.
Did Ha Nui not come home last night?
It doesn't look like she slept here.
She worked all night at the office.
Why are you up so early?
I wake up automatically around this time.
She said she lived in Pocheon, so that can't be.
And her birthday too.
Yes, I'm sure they just look alike.
"PDG". Park Do Gyeong?
Excuse me. Where's the fashion team's office?
Oh, this is my friend. Say hello.
Hello.
Hello, you must be Sun Hui's daughter.
Hello, ma'am.
Do I know you?
Oh, right.
- You're Sun Hui's daughter, right? - Yes.
My gosh, it's so nice to see you.
What brings you here?
I'm here to see Han Gyul.
I brought some fresh clothes for him,
but he's not picking up his phone.
Please feel free to talk casually to me.
Could you wait a moment here?
Yes, of course.
Hey, did Han Gyul step out or something?
Well... Oh, he probably went to the sauna.
I think he's at the sauna.
That's probably why he's not picking up.
Oh, I see.
Then could you please give this to him?
Sure, I'll make sure he gets it.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Thank you so much for the flowers the other day.
No, my mom made a mistake. I'm sorry.
Gosh, don't worry. It's totally fine because we're friends.
I'd love to buy you a cup of tea, but I have to go into a meeting.
- I'm sorry. - Don't be. You should go in.
All right, then. Get home safely, Mother.
All right.
"Mother"?
- Oh, my! - My gosh, long time no see.
- Welcome. - My goodness.
Please bring out the chilled rice punch for us.
Sure, ma'am.
My gosh.
- Thank you. - No problem.
- Have some. - Okay.
You haven't even aged at all.
What are you talking about?
I hate looking in the mirror because I get a new wrinkle every day.
Counting wrinkles won't do you any good.
Stop counting them!
So? How have you been?
I've been doing all right as always.
I've been bored without you, but other than that, I've been fine.
You moved too far away.
I had to follow my son, you know. I have no power.
So? How's everyone in your family?
Good.
Oh, right. What about your elder daughter?
She's always busy with work.
My gosh, is she still single?
She's not even seeing anyone?
She's practically buried in work all the time. She has no time to date.
You should help her find a nice man.
Do you want her to live with you forever or what?
Goodness, why are you blaming me now?
I never asked her of such a thing.
She's over 50 now, right?
She's still young and beautiful.
Do you want her to grow old all alone?
She has to find someone that she likes.
It's not like I can force her.
She probably can't date even if she wants to because of you.
Have you ever told her that she should date?
See? You're the worst.
What did I do?
She doesn't even have any kids.
What's going to happen to her if you die?
She'll feel so empty and alone.
Why would I die?
Do you think you'll live forever?
Goodness.
Let's be honest. You'll die before she does.
So you couldn't say anything?
He kept asking me questions about the designs,
so I didn't know how to answer them.
Gosh, right.
- Should I meet him in person? - No, why would you...
go there?
Well... I mean, you shouldn't have to go there in person.
- Why don't you call him? - Call him?
That side dish store is right in front of his workshop, you know.
Nothing good will come out of running into that woman.
I must make sure she doesn't run into Dong Seok there.
All right, I'll figure it out.
Jin Hui, don't...
Don't go there, okay?
Just talk to him on the phone.
I will. You should get back to work.
Okay.
You'd better do as I say, Leo.
Tell them today that you're quitting, okay?
Why aren't you saying anything?
I love you, Han Na.
Wait, hello? Hello?
Gosh, just listen to me, will you?
Who doesn't listen to you?
Just someone.
I like him, enough to want to marry him.
Han Na.
You said your brother works at K1 Home Shopping, right?
- Yes. - I see.
Would you say he looks like you?
A little bit, I guess.
What's his personality like?
His personality?
- Cold and aloof? - What?
He's the cold and aloof yuppie type.
He's cold?
He can come across as cold, but he's not cold-hearted.
He has a warm heart, so he can be very sweet.
Is that so?
By the way, why are you asking me about my brother suddenly?
Oh, I was just curious because your mom kept bragging about him.
Oh, I see.
I have to step out for a bit. Hold down the fort while I'm gone.
- Okay. - Okay, see you later.
My gosh, what brings you here at this hour?
I stopped by to drop my shoes off for a repair.
- Did you bring them? - Yes. Here you go.
I'm glad you brought them to me.
I'll make them look brand new again.
Well, about the charity fashion show...
Have you gone through the proposal and designs?
- Yes, of course. - What do you think?
I don't know much about fashion,
but I like the designs of the clothes as well as the theme.
Really?
Did the people at Soo Jeong Boutique send you?
Yes.
Let's exchange opinions about our collaboration...
on the charity fashion show.
"Opinions"?
It'd be amazing if every model could each get a different handbag,
but there isn't enough time, right?
You'll be making everything by yourself.
Yes, I think that will be hard.
Then why don't we pick a few...
from the purses over there?
You can custom-make two handbags, right?
Yes, that will be no problem.
We want the handbags to go with our clothes.
It's a collaboration, so there has to be consistency in the designs.
Yes.
Well, I was just wondering if I was mistaken.
I thought you were a sales associate at the boutique,
but I keep thinking that you sound very professional for some reason.
It's a bit odd.
I studied fashion design in college.
Oh, I see.
That's why you're so knowledgeable.
I'm going to do the work...
related to the charity fashion show.
Then I guess we'll meet up often.
Gosh.
- Dong Seok. - Jin Hui.
What are you doing here?
I came here because of work.
How is work? Isn't it tiring?
It's good. It's manageable.
Oh, no. Hold on.
You have something on your jacket.
- That's okay. - Please stay still.
Why isn't it coming off?
- It's done. - Thank you.
Jin Hui, if you have some time,
- please have a drink with me. - Okay.
What are you doing here standing like a statue?
Mr. Park. Mr. Park.
What? What?
What were you thinking about? You couldn't even hear me.
I always feel so sleepy in the afternoon.
Would you like a cup of coffee?
I'm good.
I wasn't going to ask you to buy me.
I know you're a penny pincher.
I'll buy.
How about iced coffee with ice cubes?
Gosh. Just drink some cold water and pull yourself together!
Why would you keep offering me coffee that's bad for my health?
Drink it alone!
What's the matter with him?
Why did he make a fuss when I said I'd buy?
My gosh.
A package should include basic neutral colors,
and we need a colorful one too.
That's all for today's meeting.
Please make samples according to our plan and show me next time.
It's a product for the change of seasons, so we should hurry.
I'm aware of that.
Our designer whom you saw at the get-together is working on it.
Have you decided to name your brand Sunny?
Yes.
Okay, then.
Mr. Lee, thank you for your hard work.
- I'll see you next time. - See you later.
I'm back.
Hi. Come on in. Good job.
Gosh. He was so driven.
It was so hard.
I think I've lost all my energy.
Ha Nui, did you eat lunch?
Yes, I did.
But I'm hungry again.
Oh, right. Mom's lunch box is here, right?
It looks so delicious.
Slow down.
Have some.
Ms. Im brought a lot of food, so the three of us ate it for lunch.
Why?
Nothing.
By the way, Do Gyeong, about Ji Eun...
I mean, MD Hwang Ji Eun...
How long have you known her?
Not for long.
Are you close to her?
I think you're closer to her than I am.
Why did you ask that?
- No reason. - "No reason"?
Yes. No reason.
- See you later. - Ms. Im.
Are you still upset because of what I did earlier today?
You told me to drink cold water and pull myself together.
Who would be happy to hear something like that?
I... I went overboard.
I'm sorry. Stop being angry.
When did I get angry?
I was just a little upset.
- Right? - Of course.
- We're home. - Hi.
- You two are coming together. - Yes.
Mom, I really enjoyed the lunch you made.
I really enjoyed it too.
I feel so proud of myself whenever I hear that.
Give me those.
Look at you. You worked all night just for one day,
but you look so haggard.
Let's go in now, okay?
- See you later. - See you.
- See you later. - Let's go.
- See you later, Ms. Im. - See you.
- Dad, let's go in. - Let's go.
She didn't even major in fashion design, but she learned it quickly.
She's quick at understanding what I say.
That's her talent.
Not everyone can do that.
Ms. Hwang, you have such a keen eye.
Thanks to you, we're working with Hanui Apparel.
"Sunny"? Is that why she drew the sun?
Whose idea is this?
It's probably one of the people who work at Hanui Apparel.
Ms. Hwang.
Take a look at this and tell me what you think.
It's simple, yet noticeable. Don't you think it's nice?
I don't know.
It's not bad, I guess.
Grandma, it's Ji Eun. Are you in there?
(Mom and Dad, I love you. Sunny)
(Sunny Again Tomorrow)
Come to my store this evening.
You shouldn't give him so much free food.
But he lives alone.
"He lives alone"?
The theme of the charity fashion show is "Mother and Daughter".
You want me to walk on the runway?
Why don't you reconsider it?
Does MD Hwang Ji Eun have a boyfriend?
I don't know.
Hey, Mr. Park. It's you, Mr. Park.
Is there anyone...
you really hate to meet?
