Um, sir...?
Forgive us for causing you such worry.
Worry?
What have you done exactly?
Excuse me? Uh...
We unintentionally made you uneasy with several disgraceful occurrences.
Please forgive us.
Let me ask one thing.
There's a rumor you bribed the judges at the design contest.
What's that about?
I want to know the reason why.
What's your beef with the designer who won the top prize?
Sir, that's...
Julia.
Sir, that's an insignicant incident that arose out of Oriental and Rainbow's envy.
It shouldn't have been reported to you. Seems there was a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding.
Yes, sir.
Is our head designer's involvement with fraud also a misunderstanding?
Sir.
I let it slide when you came to me to stop the articles about Julia
and when the ruined showcase caused many rumors to circulate.
But this is different.
Dream's morality is on the line because of Star Fashion.
How are you going to take care of this?
I'll do whatever is necessary, sir. Forgive me.
Chairman. I'm sorry, sir.
Honey.
Don't say anything. Not another word.
Honey.
Don't make me talk. I don't know what I'll say.
I'm sorry, honey.
I said don't talk to me.
Another word and I just might slap you.
Let's go.
Pick up, for the love of god!
MI-RAN
It's Mi-ran. What do we do?
Answer it, baby.
Hey, Mi-ran.
What is wrong with you! Determined to ruin me?
Are you trying to kill me?
Something like this won't kill you, girl.
Frankly speaking, Mister Cho and I did so much for you.
What's the point of raising a kid if I don't even get money out of it?
Come home NOW!
Heck no.
Those people will barge into our home and hassle us for sure.
So you'll keep running and dump the whole thing on me?
Mi-ran, calm down and listen to me.
How can I calm down right now?
Do you have any idea how mad Jung-woo is?
If things go bad and lead to divorce, it'll all be on your head.
Isn't it bad enough you ran off with my money in NY
and made me marry an old geezer?
Geez, you're gonna make me deaf, girl.
Not like I wanted this to happen.
I was just trying to make a living.
I'm sick and tired of you.
I have no intention of cleaning up after you.
So keep running and end up in prison, for all I care!
Why is my life like this? Why does this keep happening to me?
Why! Why!
Why doesn't anything come easy for me?
What's that noise?
I can't even say anything in front of Na-ri.
Does she think she lives here alone?
Grandma, when can I go to Mommy?
What?
She said she can meet with me. Is she busy?
Which mother?
How sad is it that I actually have to ask which mother?
You talking about the one who raised you or the crazy one in the room?
Na-ri.
Why are you walking away after asking a question?
Geez.
That poor thing is already walking on eggshells.
Will she grow up alright?
I'm so distressed.
Not going home?
Go on ahead, sir.
I have to work several times harder to compete with a famous designer.
You're already working hard enough.
You know you come before your work, don't you?
Sir, I have a request.
What is it? Ask anything.
Why don't we go eat? You haven't eaten yet, have you?
Hold on, it's too early for dinner.
Then how about some coffee?
I'm grateful that you're doing everything you can to help me.
But I want to win against Julia entirely by my own effort.
Please treat us equally. That's my request.
I'm professional enough to know that.
Do I look like the type of person to work without any sense of professionalism?
No, I didn't mean it like that.
I know what you meant.
I haven't been taking your side blindly without any regard for what's right.
So don't worry about my impartiality.
Okay. I'm always grateful to you, sir.
Don't be.
Whip out some great designs and help increase our sales.
I'll leave it in your hands, Ga-eun.
Then I'm going home.
Okay. Goodbye, sir.
Think of your health and don't overwork.
Hello?
The painting?
Yes, I remember.
How did you know my number?
I'm sorry. I found it out because I had to talk to you.
The gallery must've told you. I'm very displeased.
I threatened them as their regular patron.
You called about the painting.
I believe I made myself clear when we talked the other day.
I'll offer you a landscape painting by Cho Moon-san in exchange.
Cho Moon-san?
You left behind an art book of his work that day.
I see.
I could tell you like his work.
I happened to have one of his landscapes.
By any chance, do you have 'Sunrise'?
I do.
Finally you show some interest.
That painting differs greatly in cost from the painting I bought.
You said yourself a painting's worth can't be measured by money.
Did I just fall prey to my own words?
What do you think of my offer?
I'll do whatever is necessary, sir. Forgive me.
I'm sorry to trouble you so late in the evening.
It's okay. The time doesn't matter when it comes to Cho Moon-san.
So you're very interested in his painting.
It's the painting I've been looking for.
It is? Seems I was right.
Are you accepting the offer that I made?
No.
No?
I refuse.
Then why did you come to meet me?
Sell 'Sunrise' to me.
A man's Achilles heel is his competitive spirit.
The more successful he is in business, the less he likes to lose.
Don't seem like a pushover.
The higher and more difficult the mountain, the greater its attraction.
So you want both.
I've wanted this painting for a long time.
And I finally met its owner.
You're not assuming I'll sell, are you?
I'll give you three times what you paid for it.
How amusing.
Is that not enough?
I'm curious about something.
I don't believe this is the first time we've met.
You played the piano in a café once.
How do you know...?
There you are.
Hey, you're home early.
Jae-bum, want me to set the table?
Where did Uncle go?
Father went to meet a guest.
He did? Then let's go ahead and eat.
Okay.
You're so different now I didn't recognize you at first.
I felt like you were an entirely different person.
I had my reasons for working there part-time.
You have a good memory. We never even spoke.
It's not every day you see someone playing the piano with a nosebleed.
Can I ask what the reasons were?
Let's just say they were personal reasons.
Can we wrap up our discussion about the painting?
Name the price you want.
I see you really want 'Sunrise.'
But I want 'Choyun' just as badly.
I believe the only compromise is to swap paintings.
What do you think?
I would like Cho Moon-san's painting, but I don't want to give away 'Choyun.'
You absolutely must have both?
I believe I've met a formidable match.
I'll take that as a compliment.
If we're done here, I have to get going.
Hold on.
Call me if you want to see Cho Moon-san's 'Sunrise' in person.
You believe I'll change my mind if I see it in person?
If you're confident you won't, there's no need to refuse.
I'll think about it.
Things have taken an interesting turn.
Say, Ga-eun?
About Director Ha.
No matter from which angle you look, he's an overall swell guy, isn't he?
So true. He's the best, for sure.
Sis, I want him as my brother-in-law.
Young-eun!
Girl, I'll dance in the streets if he becomes my son-in-law.
I've got a better eye for people.
Park Jung-woo's no comparison. Jae-bum's 100 - no, 1000 times better.
Mom, I'm not interested. So no more of this, please.
Are you going to stay single and die old and lonely?
You have to start anew with someone nice.
There's no one else like Ha Jae-bum.
See how he treats us. And he's so devoted to you.
She's right, Sis.
You're young and beautiful. Why stay single?
You should get married, too -
That's enough! I don't intend to marry, ever.
- But Ga-eun! - I don't want another man.
I'm sick and tired of men.
Sis.
Aren't you furious about Dad's death and our family's ruin?
I am, but having Jae-bum by your side will help you...
No, I don't need a man. I'm going to stand on my own.
If only to make up for all the years I spent with Jung-woo,
I'm going to make it on my own.
I will never lean on another man again.
I'll stand on my own and trust only me.
Na-ri, let's do your hair and go to kindergarten.
No, I'm not going. I don't want to do my hair.
Wait, what's this about?
Na-ri, what's wrong? Why won't you go to kindergarten?
I'm not going!
She's just cranky and sleepy.
Na-ri, come here. Let's get changed and brush your hair.
That's a good girl.
No!
First you stressed out your husband and made him sleep in the study,
now you're out to get your daughter?
Goodness, there hasn't been a quiet day since you moved in.
I haven't had an easy night of sleep because of you.
I didn't do anything.
Na-ri.
Please. Come with Mommy and...
No! You're not my mommy!
What?
Na-ri.
You're a meanie! A witch!
Park Na-ri!
You promised I can see my real mommy if I called you Mom.
But you won't let me see her.
What is she talking about?
What is this behavior in front of the adults?
Didn't I tell you that only bad children tell lies?
Come here right now!
No! You're gonna hit me again.
I'm scared of you.
Grandma!
Wait, what is she talking about? You hit who?
Did you raise your hand against your child?
Mother, you believe what she's saying?
She's babbling because she's being petulant.
Na-ri, come here NOW!
How dare you!
Mother.
Don't call me Mother.
Pack your bags and get out.
You're no mother. Not when you lie to your child.
What? She's babbling because she's being petulant?
Have you no shame in front of your child?
How could you say such things about your daughter?
Come with me.
Honey.
I can't believe you, woman.
Don't do this, honey. I can't take this from you, too.
Can't take it?
Your mother and stepfather are using my name to commit fraud.
You blackmailed my daughter and she's scared to death of you.
And you can't take it? Are you being serious?
Did I want this?
Did I tell my mother to commit fraud?
You think I wanted to tell Na-ri
I'd take her to Ga-eun if she called me mom?
My mother, her boyfriend and Ga-eun have backed me into a corner.
Honey, please.
Can't you understand me? Please.
Don't do this when your mother's determined to kick me out.
I'm getting so sick of you.
I can see your brain working hard to blame others and make excuses.
Honey.
You're totally turning me off.
Honey! Jung-woo!
Honey, Jung-woo.
You should at least eat breakfast.
Make sure Na-ri eats. I'm fine.
Jung-woo, you can't go out on an empty stomach.
Goodness gracious.
Mom, Mi-ran's got it all. Fraud, lies and physical abuse.
This is unbelievable, really.
Shush!
Watch your mouth in front of Na-ri.
Who's gonna pick Na-ri up from kindergarten?
I gotta go to my aunt's house today.
Tell Mi-ran to pick her up. I gotta eat and go to work.
What's happening to my family? I'm so upset.
Take it.
I already had some coffee.
Take it!
I'm okay. You drink it, Ms. Jung-hee.
Oh, you remembered my name.
It's on your nametag.
So this is what you do during working hours.
What brings you here, Young-eun?
Yeah, why are you here?
None of your business. Why else would I come to a dept. store?
Both of you stop.
Ah, come to think of it you two are ex-in-laws.
And currently we're enemies.
What did you say? Enemies?
Is Director Ha in his office?
He is. Why do you ask?
I have an appointment with him.
I'll go with you.
Have a good day, Jung-hee.
It's okay if you stay longer.
Take the drink.
That brat is always showing up to ruin everything.
Everything she does pisses me off.
What is she doing here?
What do you mean? She works in sales.
She got a job here? SHE did?
Yup. President Park and Julia set it up.
They're family, after all.
Then she should work hard instead of standing around flirting with you.
What? Flirting?
What do you take me for?
Am I wrong? Looked to me like you were real close.
Look here, I just recently found out her name.
There's nothing between us. We just both work here.
Wait, why am I explaining all this to you anyway?
Always making me into a fool, eh?
I was so busy I couldn't thank you earlier.
No need for thank yous between us.
Hearing that Mi-ran panicked totally lifted a load off my chest.
Did my people do alright? Our plan was a success?
Yes, it turned out much better than expected.
I told them to ignore calls from Jung-woo and Mi-ran like you said.
They're waiting for the next order. What should we do next?
What else? We get our money from Park Jung-woo.
Are Mi-ran's mom and her stepdad still at the sauna?
Yeah.
Still not picking up?
Yes. It rings but no one picks up.
Those jerks.
Think they're planning to ask for more money after making us desperate?
We have to pay whatever they ask and shut their mouths.
Send someone over if they don't pick up.
We need to settle thing before we upset Chairman Maeng even more.
Yes, sir.
What the hell is this!
Must I waste my time on this when I've got other things to do?
Seriously, I can't eat another boiled egg.
I can't stand the smell of egg anymore.
Baby, call Mi-ran and beg for her help, okay?
We can't stay here forever.
How can I call when she doesn't care if we go to prison or die?
Then until when are we gonna stay here?
Baby, I want to eat pork belly and your homemade food.
Baby, let's go home. Please?
Geez!
You just got out of prison. You wanna go back? Huh?
You want another mark on your record?
Geez, man.
Idiot! I should've known when you first pitched the idea.
What now, huh?
We'll be dragged off to jail for fraud again.
Don't hit my head.
Geez.
You agreed it was a brilliant plan. Why are you blaming me?
You're the one who was all excited to use the fraud money.
There they are.
Cho Yong-gab! Jung Mal-ja! Don't move a muscle.
Get them! You scum. Get them!
Sir! Please!
What? Mom, what are you babbling about?
I get it that you got caught, but why are you in Jung-woo's office?
They demanded their money and dragged us all the way here.
Jung-woo's real pissed right now. Hurry up and come.
Come and save me.
Mi-ran!
I can't believe this.
