(It's My Life)
Hey, Seung Joo's father saw you...
entering the hotel with Jin Ah.
Nam Jin and Jin Ah...
went to a hotel together?
What do you mean?
The thing is...
- that... - You stay out of this.
You tell me, Nam Jin.
Is it true that you went to a hotel with Jung Jin Ah?
Yes.
Jin Ah lost her bag and phone,
so I took her to a hotel.
What do you think you're doing?
Are you two in this together?
Did you plan this to make Si Woo fall for her,
so you can become the successor?
It's not like that.
I just helped Jin Ah because she was in a tight situation.
Do you think I'd believe that?
You two were weird from the start.
It seemed fishy that she called a close friend a stalker.
You two even go to hotels together?
Now I get it.
You sent her to Si Woo's team...
as a spy, didn't you?
How could you come up with such an absurd idea?
Jin Ah copied someone else's design...
to taint Si Woo's reputation.
Don't be ridiculous, Ms. Choi.
I believe...
Jin Ah isn't one to copy other people's designs.
Aren't you behind the whole incident?
What?
It's bad for you if you get upset, Ms. Choi.
From what I heard,
Si Woo said it was his fault.
He must've said that to clear Jin Ah's name.
No, I think...
Si Woo did that...
to cover for you.
His pride...
wouldn't let other people find out...
his mother schemed...
to kick the woman he loves out of the company.
What are you doing?
I really hate you.
You put on an innocent face...
but seem to be conspiring behind everyone's back.
Do you know what?
I feel like...
grabbing you by the hair and shake you around.
But I'm holding it in.
I'm holding it in...
because doing so...
wouldn't help Nam Jin in any way.
However,
I won't let you do that twice.
If you ever lay a finger on Nam Jin again,
it's over for you.
You're a good mom...
that cares for her child.
You made the right decision, Ms. Yang.
Thank you for holding it in, Mom.
You should've taken her to a sauna.
Why did you take her to a hotel and get accused like this?
It's Jin Ah's fault, not Nam Jin's.
She should've solved it with Si Woo if he's the one she fought with.
Why did she drag Nam Jin into it and create such a mess?
Welcome.
- Hi. - Aren't you going to hide?
After seeing you several times,
you aren't as scary as you used to be.
Would you like to have a cup of tea?
With me?
I have something to ask you.
I'll be waiting over there. Come over when you're done here.
Goodness.
Why are you laughing? Do I look that tacky?
You must've been very stubborn when you were little.
I can see it on your face that you're quite stubborn.
Yes, I was.
Nam Jin was always tall.
He was always standing above others,
so it was easy to find him.
I'm jealous...
that Nam Jin is part of your memories.
What about you?
What was your childhood like?
My childhood? Let's see.
I never played with dirt, worried my clothes will get dirty.
I was worried my working mom would be tired,
so I tiptoed around the house.
I studied endlessly...
to get compliments.
Come to think of it, I only remember studying.
I'm sure you were happy,
but you just don't remember it.
I don't know. Do you really think so?
I think it was hard for Ms. Choi too.
She raised you to be such a wonderful person.
She must've gone through a lot of hard times.
Do you really want to side with her after everything she did to you?
She's your mother.
Thank you for saying that.
You should go now. Ms. Choi must be waiting for you.
I want to put you in my pocket, so I can see you at home.
Once a designer is accused of plagiarism,
it's hard to clear her name.
Fortunately, she wasn't forced to resign,
but you don't want her to suffer disgrace for the rest of her life.
Yeon Ji did it, right?
She said she had no choice because Ms. Choi made her do it.
Yeon Ji felt terrible about it.
She said she felt like she became a bad person...
who causes others harm just to survive alone.
Would feeling terrible about it do?
- Pardon? - She should apologize to Jin Ah.
I also told her to do so,
but I think she's afraid she might get fired.
Why did she do that if she was going to be afraid?
Would she do anything that Ms. Choi tells her to do?
She should know how to say no to wrong things.
Since she does as Ms. Choi says, Ms. Choi thinks she's a pushover...
and keeps making her do things like that.
Actually, Yeon Ji...
is behind on her rent and has a financial problem.
She'll be in trouble if she gets fired.
Dae Sik, aren't you Yeon Ji's friend?
Pardon me? I am her friend.
Then will you just sit back and watch your friend...
suffer from her guilt for the rest of her life?
Or will you see her get forgiveness...
and live a happy life?
(Hyunkang Group)
Hello, Ms. Choi.
It appears that Team One has a problem.
Could the team disband even before the contest?
You seem to hope for that,
but it won't turn out the way you want, so stop dreaming.
Competition is enjoyable only when you compete against a good team.
A team that plagiarizes is no match for my team.
You're still all words.
I'm sure you read the news article about Han Mi Ra joining our team.
Do you have time to think about the other team?
Making her stand on the show by threatening with her child...
is not my team's style.
I don't know because I haven't had any child,
but don't you think you shouldn't have done it as a mom?
People like you two are the type that I hate the most.
When things don't go the way you want,
you make all sorts of excuses and undermine your opponent.
I'm relieved...
that you and I did not become a family.
Exactly. What if you had become my mother-in-law?
I would have run away in six months.
I'm so relieved.
Good day.
I heard the plagiarism issue was Me. Choi's mistake.
I guess he can't think clearly these days...
seeing that he made a mistake like that.
Why don't you get him some herbal medicine?
So I can enjoy competing against your team.
Ms. Yoo, call Mr. Choi to my office.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
Why did you do that?
You admitted plagiarism that you didn't do because of a girl!
Do you know what people are saying?
Did you really have to do that?
What do you mean by that?
Do you want me to tell everyone that you plotted it...
to pressure Jin Ah to resign?
Who said that? Did Jin Ah say that?
Jin Ah asked me to say that she plagiarized.
You are completely bewitched.
I don't care what others say.
To protect the woman I love and my loving mom at the same time,
I had no other choice.
I'd rather die...
than have people find out...
that my mom schemed and pulled a dirty trick.
Pardon? Are you saying that Ms. Ko Soo Yeon...
refused to stand on our show?
Yes. She said she is scheduled for filming.
But I think she doesn't want to be compared to Ms. Han Mi Ra.
In fact, a public image is important for actresses.
I bet she has no reason to be on our show...
knowing that she'll be completely defeated by Ms. Han.
Then what should we do?
Well... I will find a model.
Whom will you hire?
Even Kim Hee Seon or Song Hye Kyo might not be good enough.
Will anyone be on our show?
I have a secret weapon that is as good as Han Mi Ra.
Who is it?
It's a secret.
What? Why is it a secret?
I want to tell you when she accepts the offer.
What if she doesn't?
What if she refuses?
Then I'll ask the model association to find one.
The contest is right around the corner.
We'll lose since Han Mi Ra won't be on our show anyway.
So we have no choice but to focus on the sales.
Right. Thinking that way is good for our mental health.
Well, if we can't find any model, I'll stand on the show.
Don't be ridiculous. You must've had fun on the runway.
Gosh.
- Why? - My goodness.
Listen, everyone. For the second contest,
we'll go with Ms. Seo's design.
Oh, my. Ms. Seo, you must feel overwhelmed.
You should give a speech, mademoiselle.
Thank you.
And at the same time, I feel apologetic.
Jin Ah's design is much better than mine.
I feel like I'm benefiting from the unfortunate event.
You must be upset, but you have no choice.
You can only hope for a chance at the third contest.
To be honest, I personally thought...
that Jin Ah's design was much better.
What?
Yeon Ji, you got the chance because you deserve it.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Yeon Ji, your design is also great.
It may be the best design for Han Mi Ra's style.
Congratulations, Yeon Ji.
Thank you.
We don't have much time left until the contest.
Make sure to keep the design confidential.
And finish fixing the clothes to fit Ms. Han until the end of today.
Mr. Choi, I have something to tell you.
Me?
You too, Jin Ah.
Welcome...
What is it you want to tell us, Ms. Seo?
I'm sorry, Mr. Choi.
What are you apologizing for?
Jin Ah's embroidery pattern.
I switched it.
I'm sorry, Jin Ah.
It may sound like an excuse, but I had no choice.
We already knew that.
Pardon me?
My mom made you do it, right?
I can't tell you that.
If you don't tell us,
you might have to take responsibility and resign.
If Ms. Choi finds out that I told you,
she will fire me anyway.
I'm ready to hand in my resignation.
You don't have to...
hand in your resignation.
What? Really, Mr. Choi?
Yes.
We're also going to use your design on stage as planned.
Oh, my.
Thank you, Mr. Choi.
I'm really sorry, Jin Ah.
I didn't have anything against you.
Honestly, I was jealous...
of your skills and envied you,
but I'm not evil enough to put you in a hard spot.
I know, Yeon Jin.
Thank you for telling us the truth.
Yesterday, Ms. Han came to see Dae Sik.
She said I should apologize for what I did wrong.
She said it would be better to tell the truth...
and get forgiveness rather than feel guilty my whole life.
She came to see Dae Sik?
(Credit card approval, 360 dollars, Facial care)
Someone is having a good time.
Hi, I'd like to suspend my credit card.
That's weird.
What happened? Did it touch a magnet?
Why won't it suddenly work?
Come in.
- Come on in. - I brought him.
- Hi. - Hi.
Mr. Heo will ask a few things and find you a job.
You want me to stay here by myself?
Are you going to hold my hand during the job interview?
I'll leave him with you, Mr. Heo.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
Gosh.
If you're the director of the legal team...
What's it called?
That's right, the bar.
You must've passed it.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Nam Jin's father.
Nam Jin's father...
is the late Mr. Ahn Young Gyu.
Why are you acting so uptight?
Attachment builds by living together.
I took him in and raised him, so I'm also his father.
You didn't take him in.
You stole him. Aren't I right?
Who said that?
The thing is...
my wife was finding a way to kick me out...
and I did it in a fit of anger.
I'm telling you the truth.
I'll be honest with you.
I found him and took him in.
You found him?
Where did you find him?
What? Where was it?
Oh, it was in front of a church.
- Which church? - What?
Well...
Goodness, it's been over 30 years.
How would I remember all that?
You're very nitpicky.
Goodness.
I'll have to look into the churches in the area.
So, you're looking for a job?
Yes, since I am the father...
that raised the grandson of Hyunkang's chairman,
I believe I deserve to be...
at least a director or advisor, don't you think so?
Only those with experience for dozens of years...
can become directors or advisors.
I don't think I'd be able to find you a job like that. I'm sorry.
You'll have to go elsewhere.
Come on.
You have a quick temper.
I was just saying that's what I hoped...
and just told you.
If it's hard to name me director or advisor,
anything else is okay too.
I could settle for manager or general manager.
That is if you also add a bonus...
and lunch to it.
We do have a job opening for a security guard.
What? A security guard?
You're unbelievable.
Do you know who I am?
Weren't you convicted 15 times?
We do a thorough background check on the security guards,
and I'm only offering this to you because of Nam Jin.
Too bad if you don't want it.
Wait. When did I say I didn't want it?
Fine.
I'll take it. Gosh.
Then when will you start working?
I'll start right away...
whenever you need me.
Gosh.
Still,
I'm the father that raised Nam Jin.
How am I supposed to be a security guard?
This is killing my pride.
He didn't even offer me a cup of coffee.
He looks...
like an uptight man. Gosh.
I'm so thirsty.
Where can I get some coffee?
Excuse me?
- Dad. - Seung Joo.
How are you?
I'm good. What brings you here?
I'm here to get paid for my work.
Don't you miss me?
How could you not call once?
I'm sorry. The second contest is coming up,
and I'm very busy.
Koo Jae Seon is in the office, isn't it?
Should the three of us get dinner? It's on me.
I'm busy. I have to get back to work soon.
Go home early and have dinner with Ms. Ko.
Enjoy being newlyweds.
She won't have cooked even if I go home.
She doesn't even cook for you?
I can't believe this.
She's gone too far.
She should feel bad since her brother caused trouble.
That's why I suspended the credit card she's using.
The credit card?
She spends so much with that credit card every day.
I'm going to fix that once and for all.
Dad, I have to go. I'll visit you at your office.
Good luck.
I should leave too.
You're Nam Jin's girlfriend, aren't you?
Yes. Hello.
Who are you calling Nam Jin's girlfriend?
Are you trying to ruin her reputation so she can't get married?
Is this your father?
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Nam Jin's father.
Nam Jin's father?
I believe his father passes away a long time ago.
I'm the father that raised him.
I'm the one responsible...
for raising him into such a respectable and fine man.
I'm leaving.
He must be like that since this man raised him.
- Dad. - What did he just say?
What's wrong with me? My goodness.
I'd rather die...
than have people find out...
that my mom schemed and pulled a dirty trick.
I'm dirty?
That nobody is standing in your way...
and ruining your life.
Are you saying I should sit back and watch?
Mr. Lee of Design Team Two is here.
Send him in.
What brings you here?
Here.
What is this?
It's bungeoppang and roasted chestnuts.
I bought it on the street on my way from a delivery.
Thank you.
Well... Do you...
know why I fell for you, my angel?
It's because you're completely different from my mom.
Pardon?
When I was seven, my mom...
abandoned me and my dad, who was ill.
But you, Ms. Choi,
who is so beautiful,
focused solely on raising your child your entire life.
That made you look like an angel.
You see,
no matter what people say,
I have faith in you.
I believe that you would never do...
a wrong thing even if it's for your child.
No.
You're mistaken.
I...
can do anything for my son Si Woo.
And I won't regret it even if I have to suffer in the fiery pit.
You should go now. And...
please don't come to my office again...
for a personal matter from now on.
Okay.
Ms. Yoo.
I'm going out for a meeting.
I'll go home after that. Consider yourself informed.
Yes, Ms. Choi.
I don't even have money for dinner.
Why is Nam Jin working outside of the office now?
Thank you.
Are you...
(It's My Life)
What do you like about Ms. Choi?
Ms. Choi has such a warm heart.
I guess all the warm-hearted people in the world have gone and died.
How can I live with Dae Sik as his housemate?
Dae Sik is a gentleman.
He hasn't even held a girl's hand.
- Do you still like Jin Ah? - What are you talking about?
- I'm here to pick Seung Joo up. - Why would Seung Joo be here?
