Come in.
What are you doing here?
Why are you here?
Ms. Hwang asked me to bring her design book.
You came on an errand?
Is she the new employee at Mi Jin's boutique?
Say hello. This is Mi Jin's father.
Can you pass this to Ms. Hwang?
Sure.
Hello, Father.
- Hi. Let's go inside. - Okay.
Auntie.
Why are you so late?
I had to run an errand for my boss.
- Where's Min Su? - I just put him to sleep.
Why does your boss send you on errands after work?
I might get told off again for being late.
I missed work for one day because he was sick...
and he threatened to fire me.
Sorry, Aunt. You should go.
Soon Young, do you...
Do you have money... Never mind, forget it.
- A toast. - Cheers.
Congratulations on becoming chief.
- Thanks. Let's drink. - Okay.
The food here is great.
Try it. It melts in your mouth.
Okay.
You've been treating Jeong Hoon differently since yesterday.
What are you talking about?
A mother-in-law always loves her son-in-law.
Don't you suddenly love him now because...
he helped make Dad the association chief?
Is that it?
I can't say that's entirely untrue.
Thanks to him, I'm now an association chief's wife.
Right?
Try to act your part. That's the best you can do.
Mi Jin, why did you ask the seamstress...
to bring your design book?
I'm meeting the head of a model agency before work tomorrow.
And I had left my design book back at work.
How are the preparations for the fashion show going?
Everything else is going as planned,
but I'm having a headache trying to rent a hall.
- Why? - It's my first fashion show.
Everything's so complicated.
You help her, Jeong Hoon.
Mi Jin only knows how to make clothes.
She knows nothing about administration.
Yes, Father, I'll help.
I'm meeting some people in a few days.
Come with me then.
Okay.
Why isn't Sang Pil here yet?
He knows it's a family dinner.
Sang Pil's not family.
He must be busy.
Eat up.
- Okay. - Eat all you want.
Why aren't you eating?
Are you worried about Mr. Han?
You said the four of you were planning to meet.
Don't you think they wouldn't miss you?
But we'd made plans beforehand.
Then go ahead.
It bothers me to think I dragged a reluctant person over.
Why did you bring me in the first place?
I can't leave in the middle of a meal with my CEO.
Why do you eat out instead of at home with family?
You said you don't have a mother.
Who do you live with, then?
Who would you live with other than your family?
What family?
There's a family dinner today.
I didn't want to go, so I missed it.
Why?
I bet...
you never felt like a loner...
at your own home.
That's me. I'm a loner.
You said I never smile, nor show how I feel and think.
And that I am always angry.
That I'd never get a date.
I've known you for over a year...
and I don't think I ever saw you smile.
Because I grew up in circumstances where I couldn't.
I couldn't smile freely nor show how I feel.
Not in that house.
Why not?
You say whatever you want,
flare up easily, and smile easily too.
You show how you feel.
You're so unlike me,
so maybe that's why I felt...
fascinated and amused by you.
I'm strange today.
I rarely talk about myself.
Why do I keep talking when I'm with you?
Was I that lonely?
Or do I...
feel that comfortable around you?
(Lucky Entertainment)
Are you looking for Mr. Han?
What? No.
I want to check one more time.
What's your relationship with him?
What do you mean by that?
We're just neighborhood friends.
If you aren't related,
why does he treat you like you're so special?
He fixed your door handle and visits often.
Are you two lying to me?
We aren't.
Kyung Ho was always nice to me since we were kids.
He's the caring type.
Even so, I can't let you meet him too often.
- What? - I told you before.
I can't keep you on if you have problems with men.
You have to work on your debut album soon.
Don't do anything that will...
get people talking and start rumors.
Do you understand?
- Okay. - I'm glad you got it.
Go on inside.
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho.
You didn't go home? You waited all this while?
- Let's talk. - What? Okay.
Why did you wait? You should've left.
Did you skip dinner?
You must be starving.
Is Mr. Cha that important enough for you to go dinner with...
when you had plans?
Kyung Ho.
Seeing you leave with him made me angry.
I had no choice. I'm a trainee here.
I can't go against my CEO.
I do get that.
But I'm a man too, Bok Shil.
The woman I love...
leaves me to have dinner with another man...
and he walks her back at night.
I don't like seeing that.
To be honest, it makes me angry.
- Kyung Ho. - Even if he's your CEO,
shouldn't you say no sometimes?
Kyung Ho, I'm sorry I canceled our plans,
but I don't understand why you're so angry.
You know the situation I'm in.
I'm holding back because I know your situation.
But I can't stop myself from getting angry.
I know how you feel but...
You should stop visiting me. I think you should.
Bok Shil.
Mr. Cha...
seems to mind that we keep meeting up.
I can't afford to end up being talked about.
He can't keep me on if I get into trouble with men.
I don't want that to happen.
I have to record my debut album soon.
I don't want Mr. Cha to keep seeing us together.
That's why I'm holding back.
We aren't allowed to tell anyone about us.
But now you don't want me to visit either?
You said that...
you'd stay nearby and support me.
Can't you just do that?
Is it too selfish if I ask for you to do that for me?
You don't think about me at all.
I have to hide the feelings I have for the person I like.
You don't care about that at all.
I'm sorry for being self-centered.
You should go. I want to be alone.
(Lucky Entertainment)
I used up all my cream too.
This is just bad.
Madam Gu.
Tell me what you got up to over the past year.
What did you do to end up...
coming back here looking like a beggar?
Who looks like a beggar?
You, of course, who else?
You said you'd open a store of your own...
instead of selling liquor. What happened?
I lived a great life for a year, stop being so nosy.
Gu Ae Shim!
- Where are you? - My goodness, Mr. Kim.
How did you find me?
I'm glad we met.
Will you get out of here?
- Who are you? - Oh no.
Outsiders aren't allowed in here.
Get out.
I can't leave until you pay me back!
Let's talk outside. Come on, come outside with me.
She has creditors looking for her too.
She must've had a tough time.
I'm going to work. Watch Min Su for me.
Did you drink a lot last night?
Why are you drinking so much water?
- Because I'm thirsty. - Why?
Can you...
get an advance from your boss?
An advance?
A creditor came to the cabaret and caused a scene.
You're still in debt?
You said you paid it all off.
I have a little left to pay off.
You said your boss is from a rich family.
Can't you ask for an advance?
How can I do that when I just started working there?
- I can't. - We have to pay rent.
What if a creditor comes over here?
We can't sleep out on the streets with a baby.
Auntie.
- Morning, Ms. Hwang. - Hi.
Why did you leave without saying hi last night?
I was going to introduce you to my husband.
Thanks anyway.
I'd... like to ask you for a favor.
What is it?
Tell me.
Is it something serious? Why are you hesitating?
I'm really sorry but...
I'm in a tough spot.
Can you pay me in advance?
I didn't think you were this kind of a person.
You just started working for me.
I apologize. I know I'm out of line.
Then tell me why you need the money.
I need to know to decide whether or not to pay you.
I'll work as hard as I can to make up for the nuisance.
You won't tell me?
Then I can't pay you.
How can I trust you with an advanced pay?
You could take the money and stop coming to work.
If that's what you think of me, I have nothing more to say.
Forget that I asked you for a favor.
We must make up for the lost time we spent on Mr. Hwang's election.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
We need more ideas on how to develop...
Hoseo Dam as a tourist attraction,
so think of something for the next meeting.
Mr. Choi, we're going to check the expressway construction site now.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Han, finish the Hoseo Dam bidding proposal...
and take it to Mr. Hwang.
Yes, sir.
I'm glad you're here, Sang Pil.
I was going to call you over.
I had an unexpected meeting...
and missed the dinner. I'm so sorry.
Why be sorry when you were just too busy?
You helped me a lot, preparing for the election.
I didn't use the information you gave me,
but I'm grateful and proud that you were willing to help me.
Don't be too upset.
Okay.
Jeong Hoon will manage Daeguk Construction now,
so you focus on the entertainment business.
That way you can help me when I need you again.
Yes, sir.
Come in.
What is it?
The Hoseo Dam bidding proposal.
It's done?
I was hoping to visit you soon.
Were you?
- Is it about Se Ra? - Yes.
Are you upset that...
I dragged her with me knowing you had prior plans?
To be honest, yes.
I thought I apologized.
It was pretty much one-sided.
Was it?
Also, even if you're the CEO of her agency,
I'd like you to stop...
calling Bok Shil out at night for personal reasons.
Mr. Han.
Don't you think you're going too far?
You aren't her brother...
or her boyfriend.
I find it almost strange that you're so interfering.
To me, Bok Shil's...
She's almost like a real sister to me.
I think it's only natural that I'd be concerned for her.
Then do me a favor.
Se Ra will debut soon.
I must prevent anything that could cause a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
I'd like you two to stop meeting up.
Don't you have no right to control her personal life?
I must be involved in...
the personal lives of all my singers.
Including Se Ra's relationships with men.
I asked Se Ra last night,
but I'll ask you as well because I need to know for sure.
What's your relationship with her?
You say she's like a sister to you, but even then,
I think you two are unusually close.
I believe you fixed the handle on her door.
I don't understand why you'd...
go into her room.
I answered that question before.
There's no kind of relationship?
Okay, then. That will do.
You both couldn't be lying.
I can relax now.
I want a new dress.
I can't sing on stage in something this cheap.
Why do you always do as you please?
You wanted a week off because of your exams.
Now you blame the dress?
You wouldn't let me take the week off.
What's your problem with me?
Every single thing.
Ever since you came here,
you caused problems.
I don't want to turn someone...
as arrogant as you into a singer.
If that's how you want to act, get out.
You could get into trouble for treating me like this.
- What? - You know who sent me here.
You can't just throw me out.
I don't care who sent you. I'm the CEO here.
I decide whether to hire or fire you, okay?
He looks like he's in a foul mood.
Yes. He'd been feeling down since yesterday.
He must have some problems at home.
He took me to dinner because he didn't want to eat with his family.
He did?
He told you about his family?
Why? He even said he's a loner.
I've worked for him for years...
but he never told me anything personal.
I don't know anything about Mr. Cha.
Really?
(Cha Sang Pil, CEO)
Jeong Hoon will manage Daeguk so I needn't bother now?
Grandma, you still have diarrhea?
Yes. Your mom told me to stop taking the medicine,
and I did. I don't see what the problem is.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I was told it was good for sore knees.
I should've checked before giving it to you.
I'll feel better soon. Go to work.
You should eat something.
I need to empty my stomach to stop the diarrhea.
Don't worry about me. Go and open the restaurant.
Oh dear.
Just wait until I get my hands on that fool.
Mister.
Just when I thought I wouldn't get to see you today.
What exactly is the medicine you gave us?
What's in it that gave my mother-in-law...
diarrhea as soon as she started taking it?
I imported it from America.
You can't get it anywhere.
It's very rare and expensive.
We saw you at the market yesterday.
Another old lady got diarrhea after taking your medicine.
That can't be.
My medicine has nothing to do with diarrhea.
Tell your mother-in-law to go on taking it.
Goodbye.
I'd like you to pay today.
The medicine is very expensive.
It's worth more than 100 servings of noodles.
Mister.
- Let him go. - Mom.
If you want noodles, just say so.
You shouldn't deceive people with fake medicine.
Jeong Tae, let him go.
Were you lied to your whole life? Why don't you believe me?
Either way, I'll send my driver over with the money tomorrow.
Goodbye.
He should eat at home if he can't afford to eat out.
You should go to work.
Yes, Mom. Your second son's off to work.
I thought the magazine would be out today. Too bad it's not.
What?
Guess what?
I modeled for Monday Seoul's cover.
You modeled?
Yes. Buy a copy when it's out.
Did she do something silly again?
Forget it. It has nothing to do with me.
I'll make it up by working hard.
Will you please pay me?
How can I trust you with money?
What if you just quit?
I won't just quit. I really need the money.
- Forget it. - Mr. Jo.
My goodness.
When did you come in?
Are you sure Soon Young's happily married?
Why? Do you want her to be poor and unhappily married?
It's not that.
A creditor was here yesterday...
and you said someone was sick so I'm worried.
It's not like you can help even if you knew. Don't ask.
Whose fault is it that things got so twisted for us?
Jeong Hoon's the reason...
both my life and Soon Young's became a mess.
My goodness.
You look at me with that sweet gaze
But your lips say something else
Is this a play we are putting on?
Is this what love is always like?
Just like waves
That crash endlessly
My love for you
Flows towards you
My love for you
Flows endlessly
Towards you
Love passed me by and has gone now
Everyone leads a lonely life
- Bok Shil, are you okay? - About what?
About how mom chased you out.
It's in the past. I'm fine.
All's good, then.
Hey, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be working?
Hey, isn't this Choon Ja the farter from your neighborhood?
- What? - Look, it's her.
Right here.
What are you talking about?
Choon Ja's in a magazine?
My goodness, what's this?
Choon Sam, look.
- What is it? - My gosh.
Who dressed her like this?
Isn't this Choon Ja?
She said she posed for a magazine cover.
It wasn't for a cover? Let me have a look.
Her dad would faint if he saw this.
She's all grown up. She should've known better.
What is that mess?
She's still sexy, isn't she?
Get back to work.
They don't put just anyone in a magazine.
She has a pretty face. I'm sure that's why they shot her.
What are you talking about?
Are you saying it's okay for her to dress like this?
My goodness.
Why did she pose like this?
- Mr. Kim! - Sang Man, get out here.
What's all the fuss about?
Look at what Choon Ja got up to.
She's in her room sleeping. She's not doing anything.
Have a look for yourself.
What do you want me to look at?
Who's this?
Are you sure this is her?
Don't you recognize your own daughter?
What's going on?
Choon Ja! Choon Ja, get out here!
What's going on, Dad?
What... What have you been up to?
What is this you're wearing?
What's what?
The magazine's out?
Where's my photo? Who's this?
Who's on the cover is not in the least important.
Look at this, right here.
What's this?
Why did they print this?
What have you been up to?
How do you think you can get married after that?
How will you go out in public?
I'm so embarrassed myself.
I posed to be the cover model.
I didn't think they'd print this.
Did you want our Kyung Ho to marry her?
What an embarrassment.
You just mentioned him and look who's here.
You're home at last. Why are you so late?
I worked overtime.
Why are you all out here?
Mr. Kim's daughter's photos are in a magazine.
Kyung Ho, have a look.
No, he can't have a look.
Go to your rooms, now.
Okay, fine. Let's go inside.
Mr. Kim, teach your daughter some manners.
A girl her age shouldn't be taking photos in outfits like that.
Jeong Tae said that not anyone...
gets to pose like that.
She has a pretty face and that's why they shot her.
Did Jeong Tae really say that?
He did. I guess he thinks you're pretty.
- Jeong Tae. - Gosh.
What now?
Did you see me in the magazine?
I can't believe you posed for them.
That's not what I posed for.
I posed to be the cover model.
The people said I was pretty and suggested another shoot.
Anyway, I heard you said they shot me because I was pretty.
You have good taste.
Get out of my way.
I was never going to talk to you again,
but you acknowledged my beauty. I'll forgive you this one time.
Aren't you grateful I'm talking to you again?
When will you grow up? After you die?
Move.
He's pretending he didn't fall for me.
My goodness. How about we all have lunch?
- Okay. - Okay.
Mr. Han.
You won't have lunch?
I'll finish this up first.
We're working to eat. You're no different.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- See you later. - Bye.
Mr. Cha...
seems to mind that we keep meeting up.
I must be involved in...
the personal lives of all my singers.
Including Se Ra's relationships with men.
I'd like you two to stop meeting up.
(Lucky Entertainment)
Why are you here? I told you not to come over.
I came to chat.
If you haven't eaten yet, let's grab something.
If you want to talk, talk here.
What's wrong?
Why are you pushing me away?
I told you, we have to be careful.
I don't want Mr. Cha to see us together anymore.
What do you want to say?
I have to go back inside in case Mr. Cha asks for me.
He hasn't been in a good mood...
and I have to watch out.
Does he have that much influence over you?
What do you mean?
You keep talking about him.
He'll release my album. He'll make me a singer.
I don't know why it suddenly feels like you're drifting away.
- Mr. Cha bothers me. - Why would he bother you?
Because I love you.
Kyung Ho.
Not being able to see you when I want is getting to me.
It bothers me that there's someone in the way.
Kyung Ho.
I'll leave for now.
You seem uncomfortable,
and it's making me uncomfortable. Go back inside.
I'm sorry, Kyung Ho. Try to understand.
Kyung Ho.
Thank you.
Wait.
Oh no.
- Give me your shoe. - What?
I'll see if it can be fixed.
You can't walk in that. Give it to me.
It's a temporary fix so it won't last long.
Try it on.
Bye.
Wait.
Can I have your number?
You fixed my shoe. I should thank you.
Don't bother.
It's a temporary fix. You'll need to get it looked at.
Bye.
Hey.
(Oh Jeong Hoon, Planning Director)
Mi Jin, it's me.
What time is the meeting on renting the hall?
It's in an hour. Come over here and leave with me.
Okay, I'll wait.
- Ms. Uhm, let's talk. - Okay.
I sent Ms. Jung out...
and I need you to go on an errand for me.
- Okay. - Post some invitations for me.
They're invitations to my show and there's quite a lot.
They're in this box.
Okay, ma'am.
One more thing.
You asked for an advanced pay.
It's just so you don't let your personal life get in the way.
I don't like seeing you distracted at work.
I apologize.
You know this is a first, don't you?
Not many people dare ask for an advance so soon.
I'm being extra nice to you because I need you.
I'd like you to work extra hard for me.
That's a six months' pay.
Thank you. I'll make up for it by working hard.
You'd better. Now go to the post office.
Okay.
(Through the Waves)
Soon Young.
Ms. Uhm, you haven't met Ms. Hwang's husband, have you?
Leave me alone.
Yes. I'm Soon Young's aunt.
My husband was my tutor.
Why did you go back to work for Mr. Jo?
Do you know Jo Dong Cheol?
I think our CEO has known him for a long time.
- Mr. Hwang? - I wanted to see you again.
- You know Bok Shil's at an agency. - Mr. Cha's agency?
Does Mr. Cha not know either?
I thought you both knew.
Why are you Oh Bok Shil?
