You'd better be getting up now.
What time is it?
- Are you ready to go already? - I've got work to do.
Get ready.
I don't want to get up.
It's time for baby Jung Sun to get up now.
There.
I'm not a baby.
I'm an adult.
I need to go to work.
This is all for now.
Now?
Seriously?
I need to report something this morning.
Fine, maybe another time.
I've made you a toast.
- Eat after the shower. - Okay.
I made breakfast.
Eat after the shower.
Okay.
(Truth or dare)
(Episode 4)
(Your husband is having an affair with someone in your team.)
Do I know this person?
No.
Ms. Na.
Yes?
Should I submit this for approval?
I'll see it later.
Mr. Lee, are you here to see Mi Na?
Yes, we have something to discuss. Please excuse us.
Babe.
Where are you staying?
It's none of your concern.
Did you really abandon us?
Did you wait for me?
Yes.
Take a seat.
Okay.
What's wrong? You're scaring me.
- Honey. - Yes?
I can't do this anymore.
What?
I'm leaving.
- What? - I did my best...
and I've endured enough.
I only have one body.
So I can't do housekeeping, parenting, and work at the same time.
- I helped a lot. - They're also your sons.
You don't help when you raise your own child.
Didn't I ask for your cooperation?
This year is important to me so I asked you to help me.
And you haven't changed a thing.
I'm sorry.
I'll do better.
So don't be like that and let your steam off.
I'm not saying this easily.
If you don't listen I have to act.
I've been struggling so hard alone as a working mom.
Now it's your turn to do the same alone.
Why are you doing this? Come on...
You're scaring me.
You shoudln't be scared of this.
I'm terrified I'd break if I keep living like this.
What should I tell kids?
It was so frustrating to make up a story this morning.
Tell them I've assigned to another province.
What?
How long have you been planning this?
Since you never listened to me at all.
What are you going to tell our parents?
Tell them.
If you want to get divorced.
She's so tough.
If this goes well,
I'm planning to put you on the board.
One needs the power to make a change.
Thank you, sir.
Have that in mind and prepare.
I know you're not that kind of person,
but be careful not to cause any trouble.
Yes, sir.
My goodness, Yu Ri!
Hey, Mi Kyung.
I was wondering how you were doing. I didn't expect to see you here.
What are you reading?
You look fancy.
I agree.
You look different from us who work on our feet until our legs are swollen.
I'm also trying to figure out things since I don't know anything.
Come visit us sometime.
Colleagues want to see you.
They're also curious.
I should go now.
Why? Have some more.
I'm full.
Come see us!
What's wrong with you?
- You used to adore her. - I did.
But I never knew she was so wicked.
- She'll hear us. - Everyone knows...
she's been supported.
Although I know nothing and have nothing,
I know I shouldn't live like her.
Are you having bread as lunch?
Yes.
I wasn't so hungry.
You work hard.
Ms. Lee is busy with preparing the trunk show,
so I'll examine the leaflet for the goods exhibition.
- Will you show me the draft? - Yes.
You did good for your first time.
Ms. Lee helped me a lot.
Print out the image samples.
Since you worked on it, you'll talk to her,
and I'll only assist.
Okay.
(The marketing team)
So you want to move to our team.
Does your team leader not treat you well?
No, I'm learning a lot from him business-wise.
Then why do you want to move?
You could keep learning there.
Since this team establishes plans for the whole enterprise,
I thought I could expand on what I've learned and apply it.
We need someone who can work right away.
What can you do?
I've been in charge of establishing marketing plans...
targeting VIP customers and hosting events...
in the VIP team.
- Hello. - Hello.
Where's Mr. Kang?
He's interviewing...
someone in the conference room.
I'll tell him you're looking for him.
No.
I'll call him later.
I think we can choose one of these as the main theme.
Sure.
But it'll take about a month to complete the draft proposal...
and get it confirmed since we're busy.
Could you make it faster than that?
The goods exhibition is in a month.
We need it a week before that...
considering the printing schedule.
All the other teams say that.
I cannot treat a certain team differently.
Please check if you can adjust your schedules.
We'll call you again.
Why don't you go in first?
I have to check with the showroom.
Okay.
Please.
You could adjust a week for me.
Was that her?
She's the one that the vice-president hired.
I don't know the details.
Do you know what Mr. Kim said to me last night?
He said he's jealous of women.
Because women can smile and flirt with upper management...
to climb the corporate ladder.
Women have to work 150 percent of what men do...
to be considered similar to them.
But...
when cases like her stand out,
other women who worked 150 percent are also criticized.
I heard she only graduated high school...
and she was in a free-sample stand.
What does that make people like me who struggled to get here?
This isn't just me talking.
It won't be easy to get people to cooperate if you bring her around.
Deputy Head.
Please, just this once.
You know the vice-president is concerned about this event.
Are you threatening me because you're directly under him?
Will you do it?
I don't know.
Did the meeting go well?
Where's Ms. Na?
She said she's going to the showroom.
I see.
Let's get some coffee, please.
I'm about to collapse.
We have to end it soon. I'm dying here.
Mr. Jung is leaving after all.
He shouldn't have got caught having an affair.
Did he quit his job?
He's fired, to be more exact.
Right.
It'll be tough to keep working here...
when the word gets around that one had an affair.
Even the atmosphere is sensitive nowadays.
You might as well think that you're fired when that happens.
You should have an affair well without getting caught.
But his wife forgave him.
That's the thing with married couples.
He shouldn't have got caught.
It would have been fine if they didn't find out.
They won't get a divorce anyway.
You must be getting old.
Don't you remember that cheating pig who dumped me?
(Yoogane Chicken Galbi)
I'm Kim Jae Hong's girlfriend.
- Can I call you? - Who does she think she is?
- What's wrong? - Who is it?
- This witch... - Let me see.
Hey!
Call her and tell her everything.
No.
I won't be involved with anything that's related to that scum.
He's...
just poop.
- I'm avoiding him since he's dirty. - Yes, he's like poop.
Yes.
I've been seeing Jae Hong for three years and broke up a week ago.
You've been dating him for a year?
Yes, he was double-dealing.
Yes.
Have you gone mad?
Why would you avoid poop? You clean it up.
That way, others won't step on it.
Hey.
Good job.
You did a great job. Here's a compliment.
You're crazy.
- Both of you. - Here.
Eat it and get over it.
It's good, right?
- It's hot. - It's delicious.
You said no one will be able to hide it,
and it's better to get it over with.
Ms. Na must be finally getting old.
(Your husband is having an affair with someone in your team.)
Does this person really know something?
If someone who works here sent this message...
Here are the materials I organized.
I'm not so confident in being in charge of a project.
Could you take over?
I'll do anything you say, instead.
(My Wife)
I'm having dinner with Ms. On.
I'll be home late.
Okay.
Good evening, Mr. Park.
What was it about?
What was it that you made me your accomplice? I feel so awkward.
I'm sorry.
What was it?
Is it really what I'm thinking?
Sung Jun.
I didn't know it would come to this.
Are you crazy?
What are you going to do?
I will bring it back.
They have been kept in good condition,
but this one is a bit old.
I will...
give you 1,000 dollars.
Only 100 of this model was imported within the country.
Because it's a limited edition,
used ones are even more expensive than the original price.
They better meet...
someone who appreciates their value.
You're so impetuous, aren't you?
I'll pay the full price.
Of course,
I'll add ten percent more to it.
You should keep doing the project. I'll help you out.
I won't be able to meet the schedule.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to eavesdrop it,
but I heard your conversation.
I don't want to be of any harm.
- Yu Ri. - I'm not eligible.
I should've realized this sooner.
I was presumptuous.
What took you so long?
Where are you staying?
Just here and there.
- What about you, Mom? - You better not know.
You look so haggard.
The creditors didn't go to see you, did they?
When will you stop this?
How serious is the situation?
I'm settling things little by little.
I won't make you suffer from this, so don't worry.
Hand me the money already.
I need to survive too.
Don't be fussy. You survived for 37 years thanks to me.
That's the only thing you did for me as a mom.
Money.
(Sung Un Department Store and Serin Shopping Mall)
Are you doing some kind of project with Serin Shopping Mall?
Its owner is our customer.
I heard their financial situations aren't so good these days.
- What? - Trying to develop their own brand,
they overly expanded their business.
But the sales weren't as expected, so they're facing deficits.
You must've heard it wrong.
Anyway,
I won't be reached for the time being.
Don't worry even if you don't hear anything from me.
Consider no news is good news.
Okay?
Are you leaving already? Eat before you go. I'm hungry.
I'm not in the situation to eat around a lot of people.
Wait.
Take it before I change my mind.
Take it.
This is the only thing I can do for you as a mom.
Money.
You and your pride even at a time like this.
If you left out pride from me...
I have nothing.
This is in our blood, you know.
I'll go, sweetheart.
I have...
something important to announce today.
What important to announce?
The company told me...
to work at a faraway place for a while,
so I can't come home for the time being.
When will you come home then?
After about...
100 nights.
What, 100 nights?
I see.
But if you two stay well with your daddy,
I might come home sooner.
Mom.
Do you have to go to work?
I don't want you to go to work.
Sorry.
It's important to me too.
Instead, I'll come to see you often.
Young Jun, you can take good care of your brother, right?
It's between us, but honestly,
you're the only one whom I can trust.
If you cry,
who will look after your dad and Seo Jun?
Right?
Seo Jun.
Take good care of your brother and your dad.
Okay.
I'll count on you two.
Okay.
He's not enough of a dad, but be nice to him.
Okay.
Are you really leaving?
Yes, really.
Oh, I invited you to the group chat of Young Jun's class.
Good luck.
I want to poop.
- Hello? - Hey.
You said you have an errand service you know, right?
Don't tell me...
you want to do digging on your husband.
In that case...
I have a text to track down.
A text?
Yes.
Sang Woo,
don't be greedy, take one!
Ms. Na!
Is it this?
Hello!
Everyone is working on this...
This must be a special event.
That's Ms. Cha Se Rin.
Ms. Cha,
I'm Ha Jae Woong, Vice-President of Sung Un Department Store.
I'm Cha Se Rin. Thank you for the hard work.
It seems that everyone worked hard for this,
I hope that you like it.
- It's above my expectations. - Really?
Please do a good job at today's event.
Yes, I think it'll be fun.
Take a look around, and...
She's not scared at all.
When will you start working, instead of just talking?
Did you check this?
Take a look around,
and if there's something you need...
We'll finish setting up in about 30 minutes.
Okay.
Currently, that's...
Everyone! Today, we're finally doing...
the king of luxury hauls!
It's an individual trunk show at a department store!
As the notice said, today's haul is worth...
Yes, that's right!
It's worth 500 thousand dollars!
Applause!
If she were an actress, she would have succeeded.
Remove these items, starting from here to there.
This is it for the preview.
I'll reveal the details tonight,
so please come and watch! Then,
see you soon!
- Should we start? - Sure.
It's quite nice here.
This place looks nice!
What?
This area is for staff only.
What's the matter?
Someone who borrowed our money is in this place,
so we came here to collect our money.
Excuse me.
You can't just storm in here.
Let's go outside and talk.
I want to borrow an extra 300 thousand dollars.
Yes.
They'll return my call after checking it out.
Serin Shopping Mall...
I think it's having money problems,
because of brand expansion.
Why are you telling us this now?
I wasn't sure, so I couldn't tell you.
I'm sorry.
Do you think we can continue the show?
I'll go to Cha Se Rin,
and talk to her first.
Tell me if you get that phone call.
(Loan contract)
We came for our money. I didn't expect a new loan for this much.
Take this.
Remember this.
Even if you die, I will chase you even in the afterlife...
and get my money back.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
There was a slight delay.
I'm sorry. Let's go.
You have to cancel it.
You don't have to do this.
You should pay back your debt.
You...
Don't you know how scary money is?
Those men will chase you until you die.
I think I know more than you...
about how scary money can be.
I put my life on this.
I can't go back.
You really don't understand.
As the saying goes,
you'll live...
if you're determined to die.
If I hadn't set myself to it at the risk of death,
I wouldn't have gotten this far.
I would rather die...
than go back to my old life.
But...
- you might really end up dead. - Let's see...
whether I will die or not.
Let's see where my luck lies.
Let's test it.
We should go now.
I think the show is delayed enough.
They were looking for you downstairs.
I'm going, right now.
I'll make the down payment,
and I'll pay you the remaining 300 thousand when I take the items.
Then, we'll continue the show.
Everyone, hello! This is Se Rin.
Do you know what day it is?
That's right!
Today...
I'm doing a luxury haul and unboxing that's worth 300 thousand dollars!
Do you know where I am?
This is the famous Sung Un Department Store...
VIP Private Showroom!
I know you waited for a long time for this,
so I'll start right away.
Everyone, you've seen a haul of bags...
That's right, we have clothes left.
I heard...
these are from the United States...
and they're all brand new!
I heard celebrities wear these often.
I've also seen the photos quite often.
Why don't we match the clothes with my sunglasses?
You can wear them as a hairband like me,
or you can put them here like this. Does it look cool?
I think it looks pretty.
I feel like I've aged ten more years.
It's nice we ended it well.
The show ended well,
but won't we be influenced if that shopping site goes bankrupt?
I hope it doesn't go bankrupt right away.
We have to investigate.
Ms. Lee,
you were amazing today.
I'm not being annoying, I'm saying this as a coworker...
I saw you working so hard,
and I'm just praising you from the bottom of my heart.
Ms. Lee,
you were amazing today.
It's been a while...
since I worked like this.
Should we get something to eat before we go home?
No, I'm fine.
I'm not hungry.
Even if you're not hungry, you need to eat something.
How about your favorite...
- sushi restaurant... - I'm fine!
Don't try so hard.
It'll take some time.
It'll take a few days,
but they can look into it.
Thank you.
Move this over there.
The video is uploaded.
Already?
That's a whole lot of views.
It looks basic,
but it looks beautiful because of that.
How much is this?
It's 1,200 dollars.
(She's surprised for real.)
That's you.
This could be another meme on the internet.
But there's a strange comment.
"Is this the video that was on the news?"
The news?
Department Store S and a video creator collaborated on a video,
and it's being a controversy.
The star YouTuber, Ms. Cha,
had spent 500,000 dollars for the trunk show...
of the department store.
As Ms. Cha's video spread,
some criticize the video for forming an atmosphere...
of disharmony.
The department store has yet to announce its official position.
The public opinion doesn't seem so good.
There are over 5,000 comments about the news,
and they're all malicious comments.
I also see a lot of comments criticizing our store too.
We'll announce our position at a press conference.
We'll also modify the promotional materials completely...
that were planned for the event.
- Okay. - Okay.
Okay.
Observe the situation and report to me if there's a problem.
Sure.
I'm scared.
What kind of lightning will strike this time?
The public is not so happy about it.
There's even a national petition demanding that we make...
a formal apology to the public for forming an atmosphere of disharmony.
What are you going to do now?
Didn't I oppose the plan at first?
I told you to consider people's sensitivity...
and approach the matter carefully.
This is Ma Sang Woo of the VIP team.
How to be a VIP customer for the trunk show?
I'll check on it and call you.
Yes.
This is Song Mi Na of the VIP team.
Yes.
The list of products that were used in the trunk show?
All right.
We have a problem.
Our VIP customers are calling to see if they can see the trunk show.
The T-shirt that was in the teaser is...
already sold out up to the quantity we ordered.
They're also calling for other products that we'll release.
I think we made a hit.
Yes.
It's a relief...
in various ways.
Hyun Ah.
I had a fight with my husband lately.
But this one is different from the past.
Something feels broken.
I can't remember how I treated him before.
So I don't know what to do.
Split with him, then.
Or...
you could just act as usual.
You're good at that.
You're good at reaching out.
Just...
behave as you used to.
As I used to?
I was wondering why she had her sunglasses on all the time.
It was all for promotion.
Those sunglasses are the ones that are...
the most affordable.
I didn't know those were sunglasses from her own company.
She spent 500,000 dollars and made 3 million dollars.
She's going to make more in the future.
Three days after the news was reported,
her video reached a dozen million views.
Her name has been on the most-searched list for three days.
Everyone has been criticizing her so much, but they still bought them.
She's really no ordinary person.
The loan sharks were after her,
and she set up a bigger game.
- Thank you so much. - You're so pretty.
Who are they?
They've seen the video.
I was in it for a split second and they wanted to get a picture.
You look like you're enjoying it.
Who's enjoying it? I'm busy. It's just a nuisance.
She's the one that really got famous.
She became a star with the part where she was surprised.
Hello. I'm such a huge fan.
- I liked you in the video. - Let's get a picture.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I'm glad that things worked out well.
You must have been worried.
I was worried they won't cover it on the news.
Did you...
I merely tipped them off.
It was their choice to cover it.
You've got guts.
Do you know...
why people watch provocative dramas?
It's because it's exciting.
I simply touched...
people's instinctive desires.
It was the same as gambling.
I must still be in luck.
Ms. Lee Hyun Ah?
Yes, that's me.
What is it?
Are you the daughter of Han Sook Ja?
I don't know.
I can't reach her either.
Then you leave us no choice.
We'll keep visiting you until you can reach her.
Since you're her daughter.
You'll be able to reach her someday.
We'll see you tomorrow.
You know...
this is an illegal collection, right?
We're merely customers who came to a department store.
Indeed, if we keep coming to see you,
people will notice,
and it'll be inconvenient for you.
If you're uncomfortable to see us,
you may pay off her debt on behalf of her.
If not,
we don't have other options.
Then we'll see you later.
The phone is turned off. You'll be directed to voicemail.
The phone bill will be charged after a beep...
You really don't understand.
As the saying goes,
you live...
if you're determined to die.
If I hadn't set myself to it at the risk of death,
I wouldn't have gotten this far.
Ms. Na.
Can I be in charge of the draft of the leaflet again?
Please give me one more chance.
Sure.
Thank you.
I know...
you hate me.
Ms. On, I guess you want to say...
that I'm treating you unfairly...
for personal reasons.
I do not have good feelings for you to be frank,
but I'm not an amateur who mixes business with pleasure.
No, that's not it.
I'm aware that you work according to procedures.
What I want to say is...
I know...
you hate me.
And that you don't want to work with me...
now and even in the future.
But I will...
be in this business.
You'll have to keep seeing me.
I'm sorry.
I know I'm not eligible.
I'm well aware...
that I'm not competent enough.
But...
this is my first chance,
so I want to grab it no matter what.
It's not just you.
Everyone hates me.
I know that.
Still,
I can't step back.
I have nowhere to step back.
I'm sorry.
No matter how hard you button up,
it's no use if the beginning went wrong.
I'll have to keep seeing you if I have to because it's work.
However,
I wish you never come to see me again...
for personal matters other than work like this.
I'll be off if you're done talking.
I hope we get along.
I'll handle things according to the procedure.
Can we add something to our schedule next week?
Yes, because the men's wear project got delayed.
Leave it empty...
for the leaflet discussion with the VIP team.
Those are the products ordered by our VIP customers.
We must check every order and see if anything is missing.
I'll check this side. You should check that side.
Ms. Lee.
What should we do with Ms. Hwang In Ok's order?
- Ms. Hwang? - Yes.
She won't be able to take these with her to the grave,
so we better have them returned, right?
How much are all these worth?
To be honest,
her family wouldn't even know that she ordered them.
They'd have no idea even if we keep them.
Leave them. I'll take care of it.
Okay.
See you tomorrow.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
Aren't you going home?
Well, I have some more work left to do.
- Don't mind me. - See you later.
Will you be late?
I have an executive meeting tomorrow morning.
I'll call it a day. Let's go home together.
No, come home when you're finished.
It seems urgent.
I'll be off first.
Does the food not suit your palate?
Should I make you something else?
Maybe it's because I'm alone, I have no appetite.
Can I take this to go?
(Messages)
(I'm tired. I miss you.)
Yes, hello?
As you expected, it was sent from a computer, not a phone.
They changed the number as they sent it via computer.
Where?
That part is strange.
I can't hear you well because I'm in an elevator.
I'll call you again when I get off.
It was sent...
from the computer in your company.
- My company? - Yes.
So I checked who the user was.
Hello?
Hello? Jung Sun.
- I'm sorry, I... - It says...
the user of the computer is...
Na Jung Sun.
What?
(VIP)
(Special thanks to Yubin for her cameo appearance)
(I'm exhausted and I miss you.)
Why don't you stop and just open that door?
Will you fall for me if I hit on you?
You have to be the heroine, don't you?
Is it you?
If you take the blue pill,
you can stay in the world which you want to believe.
But if you take the red pill, you can find out the truth.
Can you call it real...
to live without knowing the truth?
I thought we would make a great team.
I'll work hard.
Jung Sun, it's not what you think it is.
What I think it is?
What on earth is that?
