(Episode 10)
I can't stop thinking it's odd.
When did So Won give birth to that girl?
I can't believe how shameless she is.
How dare she come here after abandoning her child like that?
Karma will get you!
Gosh, that evil witch.
Stop it, Mom. What if Ho Jin hears you?
I can't hold my anger in because my blood is boiling.
Mom, you must hold it in.
What are we going to do if Yeon Su or Ho Jin finds out about Ha Eun?
Trying to keep it all inside is making me feel sick.
How could she even call herself human?
If we never found Ha Eun,
she'd be wandering from place to place as an orphan,
always walking on eggshells around everyone.
I feel so bad for what you took...
upon yourself that I can't even face you.
What I did to you is not something any mother should've done.
I decided to do it of my own accord.
Ho Jin could become a prosecutor thanks to you.
He owes it all to you.
That's right, 100 percent.
So be good to me, please. Stop coddling Ho Jin all the time.
Gosh, you poor thing.
(Application for adoption, Name: Choi Ah Young)
Here she is, Choi Ah Young.
Yes, Min...
I mean, Ah Young. What happened to her?
She was adopted by a family abroad.
- Abroad? - Yes, that's what you wanted.
Right.
To which country?
Never mind. Thank you.
Well...
She's living with good parents and doing well, right?
Do you want to know? Shall I find out for you?
- No, it's okay. - All right, then.
So she got adopted.
My baby, Min Ah...
I hope she met good parents.
I've already checked all the cars...
that were driving towards the cliff on that day five years ago.
Then it leaves me with just this car.
This one is for you. This, too, was made by me.
- You're back. - Oh, hello.
Do you happen to know whose car this is?
No, I don't. My dad used to run the whole place back then.
Where is he now?
He's abroad at the moment.
Well...
Would I be able to get his contact information from you?
I'd like to call him.
He's trying to recuperate from his illness,
so even I can't really reach him.
I'll ask him about it if he calls.
I need this car's vehicle identification number.
This is...
the bracelet I gave to Eun Hye as a gift. I'm sure of it.
Then...
did someone really take her there on purpose?
Eun Hye.
Ho Jin, you got the vehicle identification number, right?
Have you found out the owner of the car?
Noyu Group?
Oh, okay.
Noyu Group owns this car?
That means the owner is someone who's connected to Noyu Group.
Hold on.
(Noyu Group, hiring for a part-time design assistant)
This looks just like last season's collection at Milan Fashion Week.
I told you to take inspiration from it, not to copy everything.
This is unbelievably awful.
I'm amazed by how awful it is.
Is this really all you guys can do?
Start again from scratch and submit new designs in two days.
Yeon Su, go through the applicants' portfolios first.
- Will do. - By the way,
I heard a designer lives in our basement warehouse.
I heard he's a top-notch designer in terms of his ability,
but he acts like a total lunatic.
Who is this person?
Well, he's not all there.
Do you know what's really terrifying?
No, not death.
It's losing your reason to live.
Why do I live?
Not sure. Why do I live?
Peter, why do you live?
(List of Applicants for the Position of Design Assistant)
(Choi So Won)
"Choi So Won"? I'm speechless.
She thinks she can dare to get a job here?
You're underqualified, so you're out.
Are there any applicants that look good?
I'm getting rid of the underqualified ones first.
- Move over. Let me take a look. - Sure.
(Choi So Won)
(Sewing, knitting, natural dyeing, climbing, accessory design)
Choi So Won?
She's underqualified.
I think Son Min Ji is a much better fit.
Goodness. You always have something to say, don't you?
Yeon Su.
I'm your manager. Just call her, okay?
Okay.
By the way, I need to find a place to stay.
All right. I'm going to see if I can find a place...
that is warm and where I can eat good food.
Ha Eun left this. I should take this to her quickly.
My gosh!
Oh, sorry.
Goodness. Look!
Look at what?
What will you do about this? It's all ruined.
- I apologized. - When?
I said "I'm sorry" in French.
Well, whatever.
Such an insincere apology won't cut it.
It's not even a big deal.
That looks like garbage. Why must you be so angry?
What did you just say? "Garbage"?
What about this looks like garbage to you?
Do you know how hard Ha Eun worked to make this?
She stayed up all night to make this!
I guess it's your niece's.
Then just buy her another one.
I'll give you some money.
You're honestly ridiculous.
Do you think money fixes everything? You destroyed her creation.
Money can't fix this!
Ma'am, I'm sure you have a kid or two. How could you say that?
What? "Ma'am"?
Come on. I'm single and eligible, never been married.
Sure, "single and eligible."
Spinsters always say such things to make themselves feel better.
What? "To make themselves feel better"?
My goodness.
I'm getting upset.
Do you know who I am?
The most renowned fashion company in France...
I don't want to hear it!
Just apologize to me properly. Now!
You must be the crazy one in this neighborhood.
That's right. I'm crazy. Got a problem with that?
Crazy...
Hello? Yes, this is Choi So Won.
My gosh, I got the job? Okay.
Now?
Of course, I can come. Yes, thank you.
Okay.
It's your lucky day.
I'll let this go because something amazing just happened to me.
Nice.
Nice!
What? She really is an oddball.
Is she actually crazy?
Oh, no.
Hello?
You made it.
You seem so friendly and nice.
Merci beaucoup.
What? Come again?
What's she saying?
I said,
"Thank you" in French.
What is your name?
- Kate. - "Cake"?
No, not "cake". It's Kate.
In any case, come here. I'll show you the room.
So all the photos were highly edited.
The room looks nothing like the photos.
Gosh. It may not look that nice, but when you turn up the heat,
it's so warm and cosy.
As for food, I'll make a full Korean meal...
at breakfast and dinner every single day.
Cooking is such a hassle, you know.
All right, deal. I'll take the room.
You made the right choice.
There's a parking space, right?
What?
What are you doing here?
I'm the head designer, Hwang Yeon Su, Ms. Choi.
Head designer?
That's right. Why did you apply for this job?
Did you do it knowing that I work here?
Why would I do that? I don't care to know what you're up to.
Hello! I'm Choi So Won, the new part-timer.
It's nice to meet you all.
- Nice to meet you. - Likewise.
- Welcome to the team. - Thank you.
- Do your best. - Thank you.
Are you Choi So Won?
Yes, I'm Choi So Won...
What are you doing here?
Be polite. She's the manager of the design team.
What?
My gosh.
Gosh, I'm so sorry about earlier.
I was rude to you because I had no idea who you were.
But the thing is,
I still think that what you did was wrong.
Look at this girl.
I like that daring honesty!
I love that you don't back down, unlike someone I know.
Well, then I'll give you your first mission.
If you go to the basement warehouse, you'll find J, a designer.
Go get his design.
- His design? - Yes, that's right.
Then best of luck. Thanks in advance!
Peter.
You look filthy.
We should take a bath.
He's a mysterious man.
No one knows who he is.
I heard he's mentally ill. And he's a total glutton.
On top of that, he's a pervert.
Some say that he's the chairman's son.
I've also heard a rumor that he's the chairman's love child.
Some also say the chairman's wife had him with a security guard.
What's he doing? What a pervert!
My gosh! Go away!
I said, go away! This is crazy.
Go away! Gosh, what is happening?
Fine, come at me!
My gosh!
Excuse me. Hey!
Oh, no. Hey, wake up.
Hey.
Are you all right? Shall I take you to the hospital?
- Try to get up, okay? - Get lost!
- Gosh! - Get lost. Get out.
Peter!
Peter.
So? Is J okay?
Yes, I think so.
Judging from how he shouted, "Get lost!", at me.
So Won, are you a thug?
I told you to get his design, but you came empty-handed.
And you beat him up instead?
Well, I was just so startled.
Shut it!
The kind of people I hate the most are the ones who give excuses.
Without persistence, you can't survive in the fashion industry!
You should've gotten the design from him no matter what.
I'm sorry.
Just quit if this is how you're going to work.
Pardon me?
No, I can't. I won't make a mistake like this ever again.
All right.
Then I'll decide after observing you for a week.
Whether I'll keep you as an assistant or fire you.
So you'd better do a good job.
Okay. Thank you.
And...
you look ridiculous right now, so wash your face. You look filthy.
Okay.
Gosh, I have to sneeze.
Ms. Han.
So Won will probably cause trouble again.
You should just let her go now.
The first mission was a tough one, I must say.
I'll give her some more time and decide.
- Ms. Han. - Don't overstep the bounds.
Do I have to get your approval on whom I hire as my assistant?
Gosh, my head...
Darn it.
Peter, are you in pain?
So am I.
Fine, come at me!
Where did I see her?
I actually feel so much better.
I feel as if I got a massage.
Yes, I should've gotten beat up like that a long time ago.
I sure deserved that.
The uniform sample for KK Distribution.
Finish it by the end of this week.
This week? That's way too tight.
Then will you let another company get that order?
Noyu's future depends on this project.
Make sure you finish it by the new deadline.
We're swamped, and so are the tailors.
They're already working day and night because of other projects.
I'm not here to hear your excuses as to why you can't do it.
I'll keep it short. Make sure everything goes without a hitch.
He's heartless.
He's competent but so cold-hearted at the same time.
Exactly. I'm getting chills.
I'm freezing all of a sudden.
- What should we do, Ms. Han? - We'll have to make it happen.
Each person will be in charge of a sample.
I nearly got fired because of that pervert.
Why did I apply for this job?
I almost got fired before I could even get started.
Choi So Won, you must stay focused and alert.
But that man... He looked familiar for some reason.
I've made sure that we can finish KK Distribution's uniform samples...
for all seasons by this week.
Don't you think you're pushing the employees too hard?
I heard even the design team...
is jumping in to help because the tailors are swamped.
The fabric manufacturer...
is complaining that we push them way too hard.
Sir, we're competing against many companies.
Top-notch quality is a given,
and we must beat them in terms of turnaround time as well.
Our employees are our greatest asset.
We must never mistreat our employees for the sake of profit.
We must generate profit...
in order to provide our employees with better welfare benefits.
I'll generously compensate them depending on the results.
Ms. Jang, you haven't changed one bit. You haven't even aged.
Look at you. You've even learned how to fawn over others.
It's all thanks to the lesson you taught me.
I'll never forget it.
The kindness...
you showed me.
I'm glad you know that.
If you know that, you should repay me in whatever way you can.
Of course.
Many industry people speak very highly of you.
Make full use of your abilities for Noyu.
I should use them for your son, not Noyu.
Isn't that what you want?
It'd be best for you not to cross the line.
A butterfly mustn't forget that it was once a chrysalis.
I know my place.
And...
don't forget.
You must take the truth behind the accident to your grave.
Of course. Now, I have a lot to lose as well.
Don't worry.
From now on, we'll work together toward the same goal.
What is my goal?
Making sure Mr. Han Min Hyuk inherits the company.
Am I wrong?
My gosh, Ms. Kang.
My son, Min Hyuk?
Yes, of course. She's the daughter of the Jeil Steel family.
Yes, when would be good?
You know we have an emergency, right?
Yes.
We have to finish 7 samples within the next 3 days.
I'd like you to make one of them. Just follow this design.
Me?
Why? You don't think you can do it?
No, it's not that. I'll do my best.
Everyone does their best.
What matters is that you give your best and do a good job.
You have until tomorrow morning. You must finish it by then.
No matter what.
By tomorrow morning?
Okay, got it!
Ms. Han, So Won is just a part-time assistant.
Right, so I'd like her to assist me. I'll finish it up.
You know where you can get the fabrics, right?
Yes!
Then I'll leave for the day as I'm not feeling the greatest.
Bye.
- Bye, everyone! - Get home safely.
Gosh, how am I going to see that pervert again? Goodness.
Shut it!
The kind of people I hate the most are the ones who give excuses.
Without persistence, you can't survive in the fashion industry!
Yes. In order to find out the truth,
I must survive in this company no matter what.
Bring it on.
(Storage Room)
I'm scared.
Well, my manager ordered me to get this fabric.
I wanted to pick it up quietly as I didn't want to disturb you.
Your head is okay, right?
Get lost.
Gosh, this piece of...
Calm down.
Okay. Have a good day!
I'm so tired because of the time difference.
Hello, Ms. Tenant Lady.
What? "Ms. Tenant Lady"?
Just call me "Pretty Lady".
My teacher said only bad kids lie.
Hey, why is that a lie?
You're calling me a pretty lady because I'm pretty.
You're not pretty though.
My mom's prettier than you.
You're...
quite brazen. You're feisty even though you're just a kid.
Good! I like that.
- By the way, where's your mom? - She's at work.
Really? She's a working mother.
Oh, Cake. You got home at the perfect time.
I'm not "Cake". My name is Kate.
Cake or Kate, it doesn't matter.
I'm going to the sauna with her, so please watch the house for us.
A repair technician will come to fix our washer.
- Sure. - Let's go.
Did I burden the newbie with a task that she can't handle?
I wonder if So Won is doing all right.
Why are you so late?
I can't even do my laundry because the washer is still broken.
Sorry?
Who are you?
What do you think? I live here.
- Come on. Do your work. - What?
- Come on. Quick! - What...
- Hurry up! - Wait. Gosh.
- The thing is... - No excuses! Just do your work.
My gosh!
Oh, my. He actually has gorgeous facial features.
Ho Jin.
What are you doing here?
My spine... Gosh, my spine.
Okay. Good.
It's done.
Finally, I finished it!
I know I made it, but it looks pretty good.
Gosh, I'm exhausted. I should hurry home.
Well done.
Gosh, ouch.
How could you mistake him for a repair technician?
I mean, you're old enough to know better.
My goodness.
Must you bring up my age?
You said you were expecting a technician, so I just assumed.
How could I have known that he's your son who's a prosecutor?
He looks like a prosecutor. How could you not tell?
Also, what was that about?
Oh, that. That happened because I slipped.
You should've been careful.
My gosh, my son must've been so startled.
Your son is single, right?
Does he have a girlfriend?
Why are you curious about that? My goodness.
Well, we now live under the same roof,
so I should know that much.
Come on. Don't be so serious.
I'm saying this just in case.
Don't even think about hitting on him.
I will never approve of you even if you bring me a truckload of gold.
Okay, sure. Don't worry.
(Choi So Won)
