(It's My Life)
(Episode 58)
I don't even have money for dinner.
Why is Nam Jin working outside of the office now?
Goodness.
Thank you.
Are you...
Geum Soon!
You're Choi Geum Soon, right?
It's me, Cheol Sang.
Don't you remember me?
We lived in the same neighborhood in Okcheon. I'm Bang Cheol Sang!
You got the wrong person.
Don't be like this.
I know you're Geum Soon.
I think you mistook me for someone else.
Sorry?
Well, my apologies.
I'm sure she's Geum Soon.
What brings Cheol Sang...
to Hyunkang?
Does he...
No.
That can't be.
I have no reason to be anxious.
All will be fine if we don't cross paths again.
- Hello. - Auntie Dolphin!
My gosh, Soo Ji.
You've gotten even prettier.
Let's sit.
I miss Uncle Beluga.
But you saw Uncle Beluga yesterday, Soo Ji.
Did you meet Nam Jin yesterday?
Didn't you know?
Mr. Ahn stops by every 2 to 3 days...
to hang out with Soo Ji.
He reads her stories and plays with her.
Really?
He said he had a date with a cute, adorable lady.
That was Soo Ji?
Goodness.
Thanks to him,
Soo Ji asks about her dad less often these days.
She's also been eating and sleeping well.
I'm glad to hear that.
Nam Jin is such a positive person, you know.
That energy must've had a positive effect on her.
You should marry him.
He's sweet and caring.
I also think that he'll be an amazing dad.
He's already all mine.
Oh, right. Mi Ra, take this.
What's this?
I wanted to make special clothes for Soo Ji as a gift.
I could get it done quickly thanks to Nam Jin's help.
You haven't told him about it, right?
Yes.
But do I have to keep it a secret even from him?
Since we don't know how the situation can change,
please do as I say.
All right.
Hello?
Hello, Ms. Han. It's me, Jung Jin Ah.
Oh, yes.
There's something I need to tell you.
Could we grab a drink together later today?
Just the two of us?
You want me to come over?
Sure, anything is fine if it's Korean food.
I'll pick up some booze, then.
Okay.
Did Ms. Han Mi Ra stop by?
I didn't have a chance to check as I was out of the office all day.
She did stop by,
but she's changed a lot.
What do you mean she changed?
Does she look different now?
That's not good.
She looks just as she did before.
However, I think her personality changed a lot.
Gosh. She was so cold towards us.
She said she didn't even want to talk to anyone in our team.
She was so rude.
Does being pretty make her a queen?
Why would she act like that?
Did you make any mistake by any chance?
No, we didn't.
We treated her like a queen, but she was on a power trip.
You have no idea.
She was so picky when we were fixing her clothes.
It seemed to me she was upset with us.
Could she have been sensitive since she's coming back after seven years?
Anyway, I understand.
Let's leave for the day, Jin Ah.
I'm going to meet someone.
You're going to meet someone? Who?
It's a secret.
Okay. We've found a model...
and finished fixing the clothes.
All that's left is to prepare for the contest, right?
Yes. All that's left is to be defeated by the other team.
Since we're going to lose anyway,
we should've tried to invite Kim Hee Seon or Song Hye Kyo.
I called their agencies,
but they refused right away.
We don't have to waste our budget on modeling fees.
Let's just focus on the sales.
Great. All of the designers in our team are like Joan of Arc.
All right. Since we finished work early today,
shall we have a drink together? We couldn't do it yesterday.
That'd be great. I feel so empty and bitter.
Soju always helps to heal your mind.
Sorry. I have plans.
You do? With whom?
Seung Joo, are you two-timing him?
He's two-timing with a cute, bubbly lady.
Then why shouldn't I?
Gosh.
What? You brat, why didn't you tell us earlier?
Her delayed rent shouldn't be that much.
I said I would talk to you, Dad.
But Yeon Ji told me not to.
I think she didn't want to owe us.
Yeon Ji is a decent person.
- Right, honey? - That's right.
That's not the reason.
She was afraid I might register my marriage to her behind her back.
Gosh. That's ridiculous.
Hey, we got in trouble because of that.
Would I ever do that again?
Your dad is right.
I mean, after you moved to Seoul, you went on a TV show...
and became successful as the owner of such a nice cafe like this.
Why would you do that again?
That's right.
Anyway, what do you think?
I need to know how you feel, so I can help you out.
What are you saying?
I'm asking what you think of Yeon Ji.
She's funny. I feel comfortable around her. I like her.
She doesn't make my heart flutter...
just like Jin Ah did when I was around her.
But I think of her when I don't see her.
And when I'm with her, I feel good.
She's perfect for you.
Passionate love doesn't last long.
The person who makes you feel comfortable and happy...
is the best for you.
I see.
Then I will take care of everything.
Just don't say or do anything, okay?
What do you mean?
- Gosh, you brat. - Dae Sik.
- Hi, Yeon Ji. - Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Kang.
Hi.
Yeon Ji, come sit here.
You should've told us that you were behind on your rent.
That's okay. I can pay the rent when I get my paycheck.
- I can't believe you. - Hey.
If you're Dae Sik's friend, you're like our daughter.
As your parents, we should help you out.
Call your landlady right now. Come on.
Pardon me?
Don't worry. I'll take care of the rest.
So ask her to meet us at your house.
Call her now.
(Han Man Seok)
So if I put a piece of tape...
over the magnesium strip, it will work again, right?
Does it really work?
You mean, magnetic strip, not magnesium strip.
Oh, right. Magnetic strip.
Maybe it touched the magnet on my purse.
It suddenly didn't work.
Well, the tape won't work.
What do you mean by that?
I suspended that credit card.
What did you say? What do you mean you suspended this credit card?
How could you do that without discussing with me?
Did you discuss with me before you used that credit card?
Do you want me to tell you what I buy at a grocery store?
Facial care, nail care, and haircuts.
Do you call these things grocery shopping?
Well, I did that because I was sad after losing Savior.
Yeon Sil.
You should stop using Savior as an excuse anymore.
You spent a lot with the credit card before that happened.
I didn't spend that much.
Man Seok, this is unfair.
Yeon Sil, you're being unfair too.
What? What did I do?
You don't prepare meals for me or do house chores.
I think I might die from malnutrition.
Okay. I'll make sure to prepare meals for you from now on.
So please reactivate the credit card. Please.
No. I can't do that.
You spent too much.
Until we repay the money Seon Gyu owes,
we have to tighten our belt.
You talk about Seon Gyu in a situation like this.
Then I have nothing to say.
Listen. I've been thinking.
How about you work at my company?
- Work? - Yes.
But I can't do anything.
I let my secretary go when I downsized my company.
You can be my secretary.
Your secretary?
I will pay you.
You can spend your salary...
on whatever you want.
You can also spend the whole day with me...
and eat out.
You can kill 3 birds with 1 stone.
- Your secretary? - Yes.
How much will you pay me?
- Hi, Chung San. - Hi.
Hello, Mr. Heo.
Hello.
I came here because I have something to tell you.
Have you been well, Ms. Yang?
Well... Yes.
Gosh. Why is my heart beating so fast again?
- Have a seat, Chung San. - Okay.
Did you have dinner?
Yes, I did.
Then shall I make you some tea?
No, that's okay. I don't want to bother you.
- Come sit down. - Okay.
I made braised sand lance yesterday.
I guess I knew you would come today.
I'll pack some for you later.
Thank you.
Actually,
Mr. Bang Cheol Sang visited my office earlier today.
Did that jerk go to your office?
Why? Did he try to mooch off of you again?
Pardon?
It looks like he asked Nam Jin to help him get a job.
So he'll start working at my company as a security guard tomorrow.
He'll work as a security guard?
That's like having the fox guard the henhouse.
No.
That jerk will only cause Nam Jin harm.
That's why I'm keeping him in my company.
- Pardon me? - Think about it.
What if he causes big trouble behind our back?
Considering Nam Jin's personality,
he'll probably try to get him out of trouble.
It's better if he worked where I can reach him.
That makes sense.
I told the security team manager about him.
So he'll supervise Mr. Bang well.
He'll also thoroughly train Mr. Bang.
His duty is to guard the lobby.
I'm sure there won't be any difficulties.
Whom did you hire?
Well... The thing is...
I was introduced to Ms. Yang's relative...
and hired him as a security guard at our company.
I don't know what has gotten into you.
You hired her relative as a security guard?
You help Ms. Yang whenever she needs your help.
In fact,
it's because of Nam Jin, not because of Ms. Yang.
If she's that mean to others, she'll get struck by lightning.
Why can't she just leave Nam Jin alone?
It's bitter.
I asked you to see me because I wanted to thank you.
For what?
Yeon Ji apologized to me and Mr. Choi earlier today.
She came clean knowing she could lose her job.
Oh, that?
I only stepped in instead of Nam Jin.
Instead of Nam Jin?
Yes. I hated to see Nam Jin helping you out...
so actively.
So I stepped in instead of him, and it turned out that way.
Still, thank you.
To be honest,
committing plagiarism could kill a designer's career, you know.
That's why I wanted to make sure you could clear your name.
Also, I didn't want people to say that I was competing...
against a designer who's plagiarized others' work in the past.
Be honest with me. You don't like me, right?
Yes, I'm not exactly fond of you.
I'm aware.
I understand why you don't like me. I do admit it.
That's why I arranged this.
I don't want you to hate me.
I don't hate you though.
It's just that there are many things that I don't understand.
Well, not everyone thinks the same way as I do.
I know that falsely accusing Nam Jin...
for stalking me can't be forgiven.
But you see, if I hadn't done that,
he would've never left me.
Also, I would've gone back to him whenever things got tough.
But did you have to do that to erase everything?
From your hometown to your family and friends.
You'll never understand.
You grew up in a wealthy family.
You don't have any insecurities, and you're always positive.
You're confident and fearless.
What are you talking about?
Whenever Nam Jin talked about you,
I got so jealous.
Also,
in the first round of the contest,
I felt so insecure when I saw your design.
I've always been so jealous and envious of you.
Gosh, what's there to be jealous and envious about?
Goodness.
I want to be friends with you.
Would you be my friend?
Friend?
Then promise me something.
What is it?
From now on, can you call me first instead of Nam Jin...
when something happens?
Sure, I will.
Okay, then we're friends now.
- Okay, sounds good. - Here, let me pour you another one.
I'm Yeon Ji's dad.
Gosh, I had no idea that she was behind on her rent.
I'm sorry.
Yeon Ji didn't tell me because she didn't want to worry me.
Here's the overdue rent.
Also, we'll pay 200 dollars more starting next month.
I'll make sure it's paid on the first of every month.
- Father. - Really?
My gosh, I'd love that.
In exchange, please allow my son to stay with my daughter.
Your son and daughter?
Are they siblings?
Yes, don't they look alike?
Your son takes after you,
and your daughter takes after your husband.
What? What on earth is happening right now?
My gosh, you said your brother was serving in the military.
He completed his service already?
Time flies by so quickly, doesn't it?
Everything's been sorted out, so I'll be off.
Okay. Please take good care of my son and daughter.
Gosh, put your worries to rest.
All right. Bye.
Say something.
Why did you offer to pay 200 dollars more?
I can barely afford the rent as it is now.
I'll pay your rent. What are you worried about?
Why would you pay my rent?
You said Jin Ah's room is vacant now.
If Dae Sik is moving into this place,
I'll just have to pay a bit more on top of his rent.
But how could we be roommates?
You'll each have your own room, you know.
I'll make side dishes and bring them to you.
When it comes to house chores, you two can split them in half.
That's right.
Besides, Dae Sik is a great cook.
You'll never find an amazing roommate like him.
Absolutely. There's more.
Living with a guy like him...
will make you feel safe. Aren't I right, Dae Sik?
Right, that is true.
Since my dad is offering to take care of the rent,
you'll have nothing to worry about.
But still...
What are you worried about?
Dae Sik is a gentleman.
He's never even held a girl's hand. He's a virgin.
Whatever he's done with you is the only experience he has.
What are you talking about?
- We're really just friends. - Don't get the wrong idea.
We know everything.
Honey, we should get going.
Dae Sik, you should move in tomorrow.
All right, then. Bye, Yeon Ji.
Wait, Dad.
- You're really leaving? - Yes, we're off.
Dad!
My goodness.
Gosh.
She's not answering my calls.
She's not even responding to my texts.
Who is she with now?
Goodness.
What's going on?
She's never done this before.
Did something happen to her?
Nam Jin used to talk about you all the time.
It made me really upset.
I hated you back then.
Same here.
Mr. Choi was so upset because of you,
and I hated you for that.
By the way, what do you like about Mr. Choi?
He's overbearing and full of himself.
He's a workaholic as well.
And he seems incredibly coldhearted.
Mr. Choi is actually very sweet.
He's charismatic and handsome.
Also, he has such a nice smile.
Sweet? My foot.
No one can beat Nam Jin on that front.
He's tall, stylish, handsome, and kindhearted.
In addition, he's so positive.
Down the road, you'll deeply regret leaving him.
I knew from the get-go.
What?
The day you joined Team Two as the head designer,
the look on Nam Jin's face...
told me that you two probably like each other.
Come on, he had no feelings for me back then.
That was when I just had a little crush on him.
You're wrong.
He couldn't admit his feelings for you because of me.
He's quite old-fashioned, you know.
Whenever he decides to be faithful to someone, he can never break it.
He'll never cheat.
Gosh, that's so true. You sure grew up with him.
You know him very well.
But you changed everything for Nam Jin.
A smile lit up his face as soon as he saw you,
and I could tell right away.
Well, hearing that does make me feel better.
By the way, you must be stressed out because of Ms. Choi.
Yes.
Frankly, I'm really stressed out.
You have to get through it though.
Tell me if there's anything I can help with.
Who is it?
You're not picking up and not even texting back.
I'm worried.
Where are you? Everything's okay, right?
Jin Ah, what's going on?
Just tell me where you are if you can't call now.
I'll come and pick you up right away.
My goodness, they're all worried about us now.
I know, right?
Do you want to bet?
On what?
Between Nam Jin and Mr. Choi, who will be here first?
Let's each bet 50 dollars.
- I'm in. - Great.
Nam Jin.
I can't even move because my stomach is upset.
Can you come and pick me up?
Mr. Choi, I have an emergency.
Can you come to my place now?
Where are you going this late?
I'm... Just to the convenience store.
What about you?
What?
I can't fall asleep.
I'm going to the park for a jog.
All right, then.
All right.
What are you doing here? This isn't a park.
Do you...
still have feelings for Jin Ah?
What are you talking about? Why would Jin Ah be here?
Didn't you say you were going to the convenience store?
Also, I'm here to pick Seung Joo up.
What are you saying? Why would Seung Joo be here?
Gosh.
Here. Look.
(Nam Jin, can you come pick me up?)
See?
(Mr. Choi, it's urgent. Can you come to my house now?)
Why isn't he coming?
Game over.
I won, right? Nam Jin came in first.
Don't be ridiculous. Mr. Choi's foot came in first.
What are you talking about?
Nam Jin's upper body came in first.
Don't you know...
the person whose upper body comes in first wins a race?
That is nonsense.
You win the race when your feet pass the finish line first.
You're wrong.
What's going on? Did the two of you bet on who gets here first?
It's obvious. Seung Joo, this was your idea, right?
Nam Jin, you tell them.
You got here first, right? You won, right?
- Of course, I got here first. - Right.
- You won, Seung Joo. - Right.
I came in first. Jin Ah won.
Gosh. The rich director is being so cheap.
How can you be like this when we bet only 50 dollars?
I'm being cheap?
Okay. I'll give you 50 dollars.
- So let's say Jin Ah won. - No.
I'll pay another 50 dollars, so admit that Seung Joo won.
That's enough.
Stop it. Let's call it a tie.
- They came in at the same time. - I can't accept it.
- Give her 50 dollars now. - Admit you two came in together.
Give her 100 dollars right now.
I left my wallet in my car.
He left his wallet in his car.
Straighten your uniform and your hat, will you?
- Gosh. Seriously. - Gosh.
Choi Geum Soon.
(It's My Life)
Did Mr. Bang make any mistakes?
Maybe it's because Ms. Choi looks similar to someone he knows,
but he acted rudely to her, so I scolded him.
Are you talking about Ms. Choi Soo Hee?
- Did you really have to do that? - Wake up, Si Woo.
- I made her stand on our show. - Mom.
Where's our model? Has she not arrived yet?
Han Mi Ra, what kind of ruse are you cooking up?
Do you think I'll let this slide?
