You know me, right?
How dare you come here!
Miracle?
Miracle, miracle!
Just a moment. Let's sit down for a moment.
Here you go.
What's wrong?
Okay, get out. Fail!
You can leave. Leave!
Gosh, come on!
Okay.
All right, if we look for talent through the blind test,
we examine the person's character and attitude during the interview.
But since I've learned about you already,
spending more time during the interview would be a waste.
- Get out! - What are you doing? Still!
You should still give her an interview. She passed the first phase.
That's right! You said she's got the feel better than Won Ahn.
It's a bit awkward to make her leave this way. Please calm down, CEO.
Let's calm down first. Drink some water.
Since she's here, we should hear from her, at least.
Hurry! Then hurry it up!
You were on the Audition, right?
Yes.
Hello, I'm Han Soo Yeon.
How did you get to come here?
But you know, did you always have interest in makeup?
You didn't get a call for a part-time gig today either?
I guess they found people.
I heard even part-time gigs at marts are sold off at a price.
Maybe I should go over to Mom and Dad and help out with the noodle house.
Hey! If my show hits big, you can be my makeup artist and manager.
I'll pay you a lot.
Gosh, how many followers do you have?
How many moon balloons did you receive yesterday?
Just wait. I'm getting some reactions, slowly but surely.
Mukbang and makeup collaboration.
This is a killer production. But why isn't it getting the hits?
Don't talk. Focus.
- How is it? - Hey! I'll guarantee.
This gal will get the most clicks today.
Gosh, my hands are made of gold.
Oh, yeah. You had gotten a certification for makeup to use as your specialty.
But getting a certification and actually doing the job is different.
Just wait.
Here it is.
Certification: Makeup
Famous people get paid like...
1.5 million for a makeup session.
For something you'll erase after just one time?
- How about Mr. Cha Jeong Hyeok? - Maybe 3 million won?
Did I erase makeup that's worth 3 million won?
Hey, you can be like that too.
If you have the skill, you won't starve.
Is it all about the skill then?
I'm eliminated anyway, right?
Since it's come to this, I'll be honest with you.
Wow! So hot...
Rather than my interest in makeup,
I'm quite plain compared to other trainees. So in order to fill in my "specialty" line,
I earned my certification with that in mind.
So, you're no longer a singer?
To be exact, I can't become one.
Then, your new dream is to become a makeup artist?
Does it have to be my dream?
I don't have a dream in my life anymore.
I'm afraid of failure.
But if you give me a chance, I'll work diligently.
I'm confident that I can endure.
What you just said is an insult to Cha Beauty.
Cha Beauty provides the best environment and compensation in the industry.
Thus, I need the best work force.
You're just saying you need a job, a lifeline.
Then you should've gone somewhere else. Why here...
I think we have our answer.
You've got nothing else to say, right? Right?
Wait. I have a question.
I don't care if you have a dream or not. I just want someone who's good.
But this is very important.
What does makeup mean to you?
When my mom was young,
she dreamed of becoming an actress.
Perhaps that's why she wanted so much for me to become a singer.
"Your dream is my dream."
She said that often.
When I was 20, my family went bankrupt.
My parents are running an eojuk noodle house outside of Seoul.
Without any gloves, hands that used to wear pretty rings
make eujuk every day.
Even so, my mom puts on her make up every morning.
Even though it will get erased when she works at the restaurant with her sweat.
Isn't that what makeup means to everyone?
It may be somewhat of a hassle at times.
But you feel so great after you put it on.
Making myself look a little better and stylish.
Making me feel as though I'm taking care of myself.
Premium Makeup & Boutique
- She's not bad. - I know!
Hey, she's got style and looks good.
When she spoke of her mom, I was moved. No?
But do you think she can survive?
You have to come in early mornings and work nonstop through the weekends.
She survived 10 years at the cutthroat Window. You think she can't do this?
True. What do you think, CEO?
I don't like her.
I just don't like her.
Gosh, so particular.
CEO, Room #3's base makeup is finished.
Okay. I'll be right out.
Okay.
Excuse me...
What are you doing here?
I wanted to say something to you, sir.
I didn't think I'd get to see you if not today.
Just get to the point.
Yes...
You know how you kept asking me back then?
Why did I change my makeup?
Leave. Don't be cheeky.
I wasn't being cheeky.
Why did you change it?
It didn't feel like me. I looked too pretty.
Too pretty?
I felt like they wouldn't see me, but only the makeup.
I didn't make it that far because I'm pretty.
And I didn't consider your position. I'm sorry.
I guaranteed this.
Only if you had kept your makeup, you would've placed first place, not third.
That would've made it harder for you to get kicked out from your team.
Companies accepting applications
All positions filled
Do Jin
Your call cannot be connected.
She's not picking up, again! Jeez.
Your call cannot be connected, after the beep–
Are you going to keep worrying me? I told you to call me.
Come to think of it, I don't even know where you live.
The cafés and restaurants you frequent, I don't know any of them.
Han Soo Yeon, call me. Okay?
I'll be waiting. I'm waiting, okay?
Your message has been recorded.
Filming isn't over yet, but you're already making plans?
I didn't make any plans.
Give it here. I'll give it back after I take a look.
Jeez. If you keep being this way, I'm going to rebel.
Do Jin, did I ever tell you that I was a back up national athlete in Judo?
You've probably told me a hundred times.
I'll flip you over.
Do you want to get flustered by my back throwing techniques?
Do you really want to fight? Fair and square?
I won't let you slide because you're a guy.
Come out.
This Double X will be a global special issue.
Is there any point in having a beauty special in Korea?
It's a special project by Editor Anna in New York.
So this cover
will be released in all 36 countries that Double X is issued in.
If that's the case, there is a point.
CEO Cha, you're playing in a global market now.
Geez...
By the way, there is one other person besides you.
A competition between Cha Jeong Hyeok and Oh Shi Eun.
Once the each of you makes a Double X style pictorial,
the headquarter in New York will make the final confirmation.
They will pick one of your guys' pictorial.
Pick? What about the one not chosen?
I assume it will be released in a special ten-page article?
I'll... pass.
I guess it's a bit awkward competing with CEO Oh.
Double X is a global fashion magazine viewed by the top designers in the world.
There are instances where brands seek approval from Editor
Anna before releasing their next season collection.
So, if this goes well,
it's an opportunity for the Cha Jeong Hyeok brand
to be in the limelight all over the world.
Why must it be CEO Oh?
Editor Anna personally selected just one person.
CEO Oh. I recommended you, CEO Cha.
K-beauty. Cosmetics is what is famous.
Make-up artists are not yet well known.
That is why CEO Oh, who invested so much in this market was selected.
Honestly, CEO Oh
is now more of a businessman than an artist.
Still, Double X is putting its brand image on the line,
shouldn't you create a great pictorial for it?
- If that's the case, then I must do it. - Hey, CEO Cha!
Let's not do it. There's too much for us to lose.
We'll make it work.
CEO Oh will use all the connections she has
and she will pluck out all the armpit hairs of her
artists in order to create a swanky pictorial.
You might lose.
She said Editor Anna chose CEO Oh instead of me.
Has any good ever come out of being involved with CEO Oh?
Let's not do it.
This is my opportunity to officially show CEO Cha.
I'm tired of being seen as a mentor and mentee, too.
You see this as an opportunity to enter the American and Europen markets, don't you?
Hey, let's just do well in the market here. You can't be number one if you go there.
I'm curious as to how far I can go.
Check Ha Woon's schedule for me.
I think it's best we use a model that is popular over there.
Okay, I got it. Jeez.
Jeez!
Yes, Hyung?
Will Ha Woon do it?
Okay. Set up a meeting.
Okay, Hyung. Thanks.
It's heavy. Turn the page for me.
You always read the New York issue.
- It's my dream. - Dream?
On the NY Times Square electronic billboard,
the Double X cover is featured every month.
I want to see myself featured on there so much.
That would be awesome.
I'll make it happen.
Will you do my makeup then, too?
By that time, all the artists in Hollywood will want to do your makeup.
I'm most beautiful when you do my makeup.
Is this the level of Oh! Secret artists?
2019 F/W Paris collections. What is this?
Isn't this the 2017 Styleln New York issue cover?
Jeez. You guys did a good job of copying it.
We did not.
Who are you trying to deceive?
Jeez! Get it together!
Juniors, artists are creators.
People that just copy something are not artists.
It's the Double X global cover. Doesn't inspiration jump at you?
CEO, we'll try again.
Get out.
Get out now!
My head hurts. Why can't they make something so simple?
Cha Jeong Hyeok must have grown a lot.
To make the Great Oh Shi Eun this nervous.
When was I not like this?
You know Anna, right?
Editor Anna said one thing after looking at Cha Jeong Hyeok's portfolio.
What was it?
"You're all fired".
"Why are you just showing me this?"
Seriously. She's exaggerating.
So I told her, "Oh Shi Eun made Cha Jeong Hyeok into what he is today."
She said this competition is a huge event
and is looking forward to it.
You probably said one more thing.
"I, Joo Seong Hwa, made Oh Shi Eun and Cha Jeong Hyeok into what they are today".
Am I right?
That's right.
So, when do you go back to the US?
I'll be leaving soon.
Oh Shi Eun, I wish you luck.
I'm looking forward to this Double X cover.
Let's meet at the top. The very top.
Up there?
- Shall we cheers? - Okay. Let's meet at the top.
- Let's go through it one by one. - Okay.
Shall we start with number nine? In for me.
Out.
It says they're dreaming of a "small but certain
happiness", they should look for a new career then.
- Out? - Out.
Out. Number fifteen?
In for me.
- Me, too. - Oh my.
It's a frustrating style.
- In. - Final pass.
You guys are so frustrating. You don't have a keen eye.
Fail
Did you catch a cold? Oh, isn't this Han Soo Yeon?
This girl. In for me.
- In for me as well. - Me, too.
- Hyung, why? - It's refreshing.
There are tons of people who sell their dreams and passion.
I'm working to make money. How simple is that?
I want to mentor her.
I feel bad for her, even if she makes it. I should be good to her.
Let me use the CEO wild card, just this once.
I don't like her.
How is that fair? You said we'd go with the popular vote.
That's true...
But I really hate her.
Hiring
Ms. Han Soo Yeon, your balance is due...
Answer
Yes, hello?
Yes, this is Han Soo Yeon.
Really?
Yes! Yes, thank you! Yes!
- What, what? - I made it to the Cha Beauty!
Yay! I finally did it! I got in!
Yay! I did it!
Gosh, daebak.
But why did they accept me?
All right, we're ready.
Where's Song Ha Won?
Yes, Mr. Nam.
Pardon?
That's too bad. Let's pick another day.
What?
Ha Woon apparently got sick all of a sudden.
He doesn't think he could join us today.
Oh, well.
Who do you think CEO Oh's model is?
It doesn't matter.
Oh, so cool.
Well, we got Song Ha Won. So it doesn't matter who she has.
You know, only five times in DoubleX history,
have we seen this type of worldwide coverage.
This means that there's a growing interest in K-Beauty in global cosmetics.
So, please. Show what K-Beauty is to the world.
We'll closely communicate with the headquarter as we go.
No, I can't wait for the final outcome.
I wouldn't want to disturb the inspiration of the two artists.
Of course. You'll definitely look forward to it.
This seems like a fun project.
I wish you all the best of luck.
You know that the competition between you two
is also a big issue in South Korea, right?
Since this is a competition between the teacher and
the pupil, the pioneer of K-Beauty and the newcomer.
It's my honor.
Do you know how much I cheer on for you, Mr. Cha?
"A pupil excels his master." Haven't you heard of that expression?
As you know, we're tight on time.
- Did you find a model? - Yes.
I'm working with Ha Won.
Wait. Just a moment. You mean, Song Ha Won?
There's only one Ha Won in this field. No?
Sorry. For taking away from you all the time.
It never works out for you even if you do.
So, did you get Ji Yoon back?
I guess I didn't take away Ji Yoon.
That's enough, CEO.
I do things my way.
The reason Ji Yoon left you and also why Ha Won chose to work with me.
- It was their choice. - CEO.
Take Ha Won. If you're able.
Geez, that hater. Aigoo!
Hey, are you nuts? You crazy? Hey, hey!
Hey! Your hand is valuable!
I'll bring someone higher level than Song Ha Won.
Calm down. Please.
Are you okay?
Get the contract for the commercial with Song Ha Won ASAP.
We need to put dibs on her before they try to argue.
Yes, ma'am.
Give her the commercial and be careful not to
let people know that we stole their model.
- Got that? - Yes.
- Hello. - Hi.
Hello, CEO.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Hello. - Hello!
Gosh, scared me. Ha Won, you're here.
Hello, CEO.
It's been so long, huh?
You always get your makeup done elsewhere.
I betrayed Mr. Cha, so you have do a good job.
Of course! I'll do everything you want.
So, how is it? Did you look at the concept? Do you like it?
I'm still looking.
Look at this one. This would look great on you, Ha Won.
Isn't it too girly?
Really? Then let's look at the next page.
Look at this. It's the ultimate chic. Isn't it pretty?
I think it'd be prettier if it were a brighter tone.
Yeah, right? That's what I thought, too. I'll lighten up the tone.
Here, if so, here.
Huh? This is from the Paris collection.
It's not a replica, is it?
Give me one second.
Ta-da! It just came from Paris today.
My goodness! This is the finale dress, isn't it?
How did you get this?
I managed to get it because I thought it'd look better on you.
Ms. Oh! You're really the best!
- Mr. Cha, we'll do it ourselves. - Why are you doing that? Give them to me.
- Would you like to? - Pardon?
Yes.
What's with him now?
CEO Oh stole his model.
Does she still pull dirty tricks like that?
This is a problem. He'd be cleaning those all day now.
Aigoo, I'm about to go crazy. What should we do now?
That's why I said we shouldn't do it.
Have you ever had any good experience with CEO Oh?
No.
What a disaster! It'd be completely humiliating if we lose!
Is it too flashy?
It's nice and bright. I like it.
But everyone would know that I'm from that audition program.
I thought I might look immature if I wear something bright.
Why don't you wear something dark then? Go full melancholy.
I'm worried about everything since it's my first day.
You'd be wearing the uniform when you get there. Why do you worry so much?
Yes, what's the point of all this anyway?
I'll just focus on making money.
You shouldn't be worrying about the outfit.
Do something with your skin. It's way too dry.
Is it because I only use one moisturizer these days?
The makeup will go on nicely tomorrow.
Cha Beauty
Yes, Mr. Choi.
Yes, thank you for helping out in the last minute.
Let's talk in person later.
Yes. Yes, got it.
Premium Makeup & Beauty
Soo Yeon, you came early.
Hello.
What are you doing here this early?
Well, I just wanted to show up early.
Is that so? Why don't you look around a bit then?
Yes!
♫ Make up your mind and make up your feeling ♫
Six rules of customer service
♫ What's wrong with my hair? What's wrong with my makeup? ♫
♫ People tell me I have good style ♫
♫ I don't understand what you're saying ♫
♫ I'm so confused ♫
Looks like they give you food too.
Shower Room
There's a shower room too.
I didn't see anything. I really didn't.
Hey.
She didn't see anything?
That means she did see something!
Can you see anything?
I think you can see.
Jeez.
Soo Yeon?
I didn't see anything!
Isn't it beautiful? The CEO was featured in
an exhibit in New York because of this piece.
Oh, I see.
Work hard.
Hello sir.
Use the correct title. It's CEO Cha, not sir.
Yes, CEO Cha.
Why are you poking around here when it isn't even time for work yet?
I'm sorry. I came early because I didn't want to be late.
Who comes two hours early because they don't
want to be late? Are you that inflexible?
And...
I...
I opened the door thinking no one was inside, but I quickly closed the door.
I really didn't see anything.
It's common sense not to open the door if you hear the water running.
I didn't hear the water running.
I think the soundproofing is very good here.
You.
I'll be watching you.
You weren't chosen because you're good.
Despite your lack of skill, you were chosen because
you said you would work hard and could endure it.
I just gave you a chance.
Don't forget that you barely made the cutline.
Don't cause any problems.
Okay.
Write it on your forehead.
Okay. I'll keep that in mind.
I'll do my best. I'll be leaving then.
You're here.
The air is so dry.
CEO Cha, will you be content with Soo Ji?
Soo Ji?
I met Soo Ji's CEO yesterday.
I didn't even bring up that it was for the Double X global issue,
but he bit as soon as I said you were working on a pictorial.
What's this reaction? Are you numb because you're so happy?
Tell them we'll work with them another time.
Why? Do you want to lose to CEO Oh?
Hyung, I don't care about CEO Oh.
I'm truly curious if I can make it globally.
That's why you need a model.
She'll be here later, so see her then.
You already called someone?
Who is it?
Huh?
- Hyung? - Yeah?
Can you take a shower?
Shower? Do I smell bad?
You caught me. I drank with Soo Ji's CEO until late yesterday
and didn't get a chance to shower because I woke up late.
Director Yang! We work in the service field.
How can a director go around smelling like that?
Okay, I'll go wash up.
By the way, the shower doorknob is broken.
Get someone to fix it.
Okay.
What? I can see everything.
Okay, well... you can't really see everything.
Hey!
Who is that outside?
Who is it?
CEO! How can you peek at him showering?
No, that's not how it is..
Why? Is something wrong?
Director Yang?
CEO, you?!
It's not like that. What are you saying?
Hyung, it's cold. Go inside and wash up. Hurry.
Okay, I'll make myself squeaky clean.
Hong Seok, it's not how it looks. I'll explain everything.
CEO, that's your privacy so I'll keep it to myself.
I have to get ready for the meeting. Here you go.
Hey, Hong Seok–
Han Soo Yeon!
Han Soo Yeon.
How old is everyone? I'm 25 years old.
- I'm 26. Me, too. Don't drop the honorifics.
Of course, Unni.
Isn't the uniform so pretty?
- Did you graduate from cosmetology school? - No.
Did you major in beauty?
No.
- I'm sure you don't have any experience. - No.
Yet you passed in one try?
I was surprised as well.
Hey. Do you expect me to believe that?
It's the truth.
The assistants that get hired here, have all taken the entrance exams several times.
They also have experience working at various shops.
What connections did you use to get in?
We have a new assistant here at Cha Beauty.
Please introduce yourselves.
Hello. My name is Choi Seon Nyeo, 27th graduating class from Seoul Makeup school.
Congratulations, Seon Nyeo.
Nice to meet you. My name is Park Yoo Na, 28th
graduating class from Seoul Makeup school.
Congratulations, Yoo Na.
Hello, my name is Han Soo Yeon. I will do my best.
The senior assistant chooses their junior assistant, correct?
- Eun Hee. - I choose Seon Nyeo.
- I choose Yoo Na. - Thank you.
What about Soo Yeon?
Hyun Joon. Are you okay working with Han Soo Yeon?
Well, it looks like I have no choice.
- Thank you. - I like Choi Seon Nyeo.
We're only dividing teams to make things easier,
during the three month intern period you are part of every team.
Now! Let's work hard again today.
For our customers!
Love our customers! Cha Beauty, Cha Cha Cha!
- Fighting! - Fighting.
CEO Cha, VIP JJ made a reservation today.
Okay.
Bastard.
Seul Gi, you are the very first face our customers
see the moment they step into our shop.
I look a bit disheveled today, don't I? I'm sorry.
There's still some time.
I want to get my makeup done by the CEO too.
You just have to come to work with your makeup done wrong. He'll fix it for you.
You might get scolded, but it's perfect on a day you have a blind date scheduled.
I should try it the day I have a date with my boyfriend.
Don't date any more bad guys.
Pardon?
CEO Cha...
Work hard.
How does he know?
Can he see people's past? Is it like a superpower?
He probably knows by looking at the skin.
How does he know what happened the day before by just looking at the skin?
Whether they cried, what they ate before going to bed,
and how much effort they put into the makeup in the morning.
He can tell all that.
But he doesn't seem to know when I ate ramen the night before.
Hong Seok, it's because you're always puffy.
If only he wasn't older than me...
You just need to work the schedule with the hair team. Don't forget to greet them.
Got it? You have to greet.
- Yes! - Yes.
You all know the system, right?
What's the first thing you have to do in the morning?
Cleaning and organizing the tools...
You tell her.
You have to clean the floor, the vanity tables, coffee tables, and windows
and refill the cotton pads, q-tips, and cleansing tissues.
And you also have to check the makeup inventory.
You have to wash the brushes every Tuesday and Friday. Twice a week.
Bingo.
This is why it's annoying to have newbies who don't know anything.
The VIP room is normally for picky rich ladies and celebrities.
If you hear any rumors about the entertainment
industry, politics, and corporates...
You know, right?
- Yes! - Yes.
Han Soo Yeon, do you know how to wash brushes?
I'll wash them as best as I can if you teach me.
You all know, right?
Yes, Subaenim.
Who made appointments like this?
I told you to give me 15 minutes after Mr. Cha's
appointment. Who will cover the base?
Chairwoman Kim suddenly decided to show up early this morning... I'm sorry.
Sorry?
I'm so annoyed.
Hey, make sure we won't have any conflicts.
- Park Seul Gi. - Yes.
Please try to be smart. Otherwise, I'll fire you.
Yes.
Geez!
We're short on assistants because of him. Doesn't he know that it's all his fault?
Son Hong Seok.
Mr. Cha is Room No. 1 and Mr. Kim is Room No. 2.
Let me know as soon as the Room No. 1 is done with the foundation.
Yes.
Right, tell Han Soo Yeon to come. Let's make her do the basics.
Right! We had a junior. I'll go get her now.
Junior!
Our team is Mr. Cha, Mr. Kim, Han Joon and I.
It's all men.
Mr. Cha works outside the office a lot and only work with VIP customers.
So Mr. Kim assists him often.
When they're both doing makeup, the assistant team jumps in.
Yes.
You just need to follow my order.
- Yes, Sunbaenim. - Okay!
Let's discuss the details later since we're busy now.
You should never call the VIPs by the names in the shop except for in the rooms.
Here, it's a list of the VIPs. Memorize it when you get the chance.
DJ will be arriving soon. Put him in Room No. 1 when he comes upstairs.
- Yes, Room No. 1. - Okay!
VIP list
Here's the VIP customer.
Hello.
You were DJ?
Han Soo Yeon.
I missed you!
Geez, let go!
Let go of me!
Why won't you answer your phone?
Assistant Han Soo Yeon? Do you work here?
Yes.
- Since when? - Since today.
Why?
What do you mean, why? Why should I explain why I work?
Soo Yeon! Is he not here yet?
He just arrived!
- Let's go. - Hold on, let's talk for a bit.
There's no time. Go in there first.
Also, pretend like you don't know me.
Why?
Stop asking why and just do as I say.
Later. I'll tell you later.
Just be quiet today, okay?
Hyung, hi.
Do Jin, you came! Use the second toner to wipe his face.
Why are you so dry?
Soak a mask with the toner, put it on his face for about five minutes and apply mask.
And call me after 10 minutes.
And, and... Just do that for now!
And always keep the door open halfway when you're alone with a male customer.
Yes.
Hey, he told us keep it open!
We have a lot to talk about.
We don't have time right now.
You've been ghosting for a year.
Where have you been? And why are you doing this here?
Be quiet, you're confusing me.
What should I do first? Let's focus, focus.
What should I do first? Right, the second toner. The second toner.
Is it second from the right or the left?
Second from the left.
Thank you.
Do Jin will only be available in the morning the day after tomorrow.
Aigoo, this would be tough since he's so busy.
Yes, that's okay.
We asked you in the last minute. We should work with his schedule.
Double X's global issue is a big deal to us too. He's in your care.
Don't worry so much.
Thank you, please manage the schedule well.
Yes, sir.
I'll get going then.
- Take care. - We'll give you a call.
This isn't a makeup commercial. It's an editorial!
We need a female model!
We can't get away with a concept like "a pretty boy!"
Who said that'd be the concept?
What is it then?
The subject is K-Beauty.
Of course, Korean cosmetic products
became huge enough for Double X's global issue to cover.
But that only applies to the skincare products.
Even Korean people often think foreign makeup products are better.
How about people outside of Korea think?
That's what we're going after.
Makeup that's all about the colors.
That's why we need a female model!
No, never. We'll go with Soo Ji.
I'll politely say no to Mr. Choi.
I already talked to the CEO of Soo Ji's company.
I said I'll take a rain check.
How come you always have it your way?
I can't back down this time. I respect that you're an artist,
This is the decision you're making as the CEO of the company.
Hyung, look at this. It'd be way more powerful on men!
Especially if someone as feminine as Do Jin...
It'd be just perfection!
The reputation of Cha Beauty...
the reputation of Cha Jeong Hyeok depends on this. You know that, right?
Yes! Please trust me on this!
Mr. Cha, Mr. Kang Do Jin's base makeup is done.
- Yes, I'll be there. - Yes.
What took him so long anyway?
Not bad.
Soo Yeon!
Unni!
- Hello. - Yes, Soo Yeon.
Why don't you go ahead of me?
Yes. See you, Soo Yeon.
Do you work here now?
Yes, I need to feed myself somehow.
I'm sorry, there was nothing I could've done.
Mr. Choi, I have a favor to ask you.
Huh?
Could Do Jin find a different beauty salon?
You must feel uncomfortable.
Yes.
Do Jin has a lot of other options, but I don't.
I was lucky to get a job here and...
I'd like to learn properly here.
Yes, that sounds like a good idea.
Thank you.
Hang in there.
Yes.
Hyung, I'm friends with Soo Yeon.
I know.
How? Did she talk about me?
You used to work at the same company. I just assumed.
We don't just know each other.
We're friends. Best friends!
- Were you? - No, we still are!
It shouldn't be past tense. We're still friends.
I get it, okay?
How did Soo Yeon get to work here? Did you bring her here?
I didn't bring her.
And be quiet. Don't talk so much during makeup.
Hyung, by the way...
Hey!
That's it.
Yes, this is Kim Chae Won.
- Noona. - Huh?
Can I go to the bathroom?
- Okay, don't take too long. - Okay.
I said let's talk later.
Just give me three minutes.
Why do you keep avoiding me?
I'm not avoiding you, I'm busy right now.
We're still friends, right?
Right?
I'm not sure.
Why?
I was sorry because I felt like it was my fault.
I wanted to apologize, but you wouldn't answer my calls.
It was hard for me too.
What should I do?
At first, I resented you.
But the more I thought about it, it wasn't right.
No matter how many times you called, I shouldn't have gone.
It's my fault for being dragged into a fight like that.
Soo Yeon.
It's definitely my fault, but it was driving me insane.
If I see you, I'll be reminded of that day.
That's why I didn't answer your calls.
Do you know how long I waited?
Do Jin, I...
think it's best that we don't see each other for a while.
It's still hard for me to look at you.
I beg of you.
Kang Do Jin's pictorial shoot is coming up in two days.
- Attention. - Attention.
This work can end up being on the cover of the Double X global issue,
- so everyone focus. - It's a global special issue.
Double X cover.
A global issue at that.
We're going to shoot all three sample concepts.
We have to finish the shooting in three hours, so be especially prepared.
Yes, CEO.
What? There was a piece of lint. Do your best, guys.
Jeez. It must have been tough. Are you tired?
I had to stand all day.
Working in that field is a lot of work.
There's especially a lot of work if you're at Cha Beauty.
It was really chaotic today.
I even ran into Kang Do Jin.
What? You met Kang Do Jin?
He changed shops.
Why did I have to meet him there?
What did he say?
That he's sorry.
How could he not feel sorry?
It sucks for him...
And the shower–
Shower?
There's even a shower room.
Hello, Sunbae.
Hello. Hello.
Don't greet her.
- Want to grab a bite after work? - Sure.
Hey. You don't have an appointment today.
- What's wrong with your face? - I don't know.
My face is so itchy and I think it stings a little.
What are you going to do? Isn't your pictorial shoot tomorrow?
The dermatologist isn't open yet, so I just brought him here for now.
Okay. Shall we go inside for now?
Did you eat anything bad yesterday?
All he had was gimbap in the car.
But I'm okay.
Did the artists on site do a heavy touch up yesterday?
No, all they did was pat his face with a puff during the shoot.
The shoot ended fast.
Then he had a meeting with the director and a
radio broadcast, so his makeup was removed.
Is it our fault then?
Were there any new products yesterday?
It was so busy yesterday...
I think all the products were the same.
I just did as I was told.
What is the problem? What...
Oh my. Let me call CEO Cha.
Yes, this is Kim Chae Won.
Do Jin, just say you ate seafood yesterday.
Seafood allergies.
Son Hong Seok, are you insane?
He'll fire us all.
You ate marinated crab yesterday, okay?
I didn't eat marinated crab yesterday.
And I like marinated crab.
We're in trouble. Do Jin's face is a mess.
What?
Why must this happen the day before the shoot?
His face was like that when he woke up this morning.
He says it's itchy and stings a bit.
I ate marinated crab yesterday.
I'm allergic.
What is that...
She...
shell...
I have that.
Oh. CEO, he must be allergic to shellfish.
It's not because of food.
If it's due to food, hives and angioedema show first.
This is due to cosmetics.
I'm warning you, don't even think about lying to me.
We have to know the cause in order to find a solution.
Start by explaining the base makeup process from yesterday.
Han Soo Yeon applied the basic skincare and I applied the base makeup.
We went by the manual so that shouldn't be the problem.
Son Hong Seok, how did you explain the basic skincare
I instructed to use skin toner on a cotton puff to wipe down his face.
His skin was dry, so I instructed to thoroughly soak the cotton puff with toner,
leave it on his face for five minutes, then apply a sheet mask.
Han Soo Yeon, what did you use?
For the mask, I used a green tea sheet mask.
For the skin toner, I used this.
Do Jin doesn't use that because it makes his skin have a bad reaction.
Did you tell her to use that?
I believe I told her to use the second toner from the right.
If you don't know, you should ask.
Just look at what you did to the VIP's face.
- I'm sorry. - What?
Allergies?
Do you think this is something we should let slide?
I knew Kang Do Jin is allergic to alcohol,
but I didn't know that toner contained alcohol.
Let go.
Han Soo Yeon, you're fired.
Leave Cha Beauty, now!
Touch
Apologies are only made in situations that can be fixed.
We're going to start a special care routine.
Carbonated drinks, salty food, and sugary foods are all banned.
- I want to stop. - Keep running. You don't have a choice.
- How is it? - I think we can do the shoot.
Kang Do Jin's face got better so he's doing the shoot.
That's a relief.
- Don't make the same mistake again. - Thank you.
Soo Yeon said I look more handsome like this.
So hurry and get better.
No good will come of those being together.
Let's cut off the problem before it happens.
You should go home if you're drunk. What are you doing?
Hold it in!
You piss me off!
Can you open the door?
Who is she?
