Want me to say it again?
I love Na-ri's father.
I thought I'd die when I found out about his betrayal, but I knew.
Underneath all that hatred was the love I still had.
Don't tell me those lies.
If you tell me to wait, I can wait forever.
If you want me to keep my distance, I can wait from afar.
Where did you drink so much? Goodness.
I'm sorry, Uncle.
You should've drunk less. Think of your health.
Go on up.
Okay.
Slowly, slowly. Watch your step.
Not here! Oh no!
Give me a moment. I'll get you some warm honey water.
Who is this woman who's driving Jae-bum nuts like this?
I'm so upset! Seriously!
Are you feeling better?
I'm fine now. Don't worry, Mom.
This weekend is Mom's birthday. Let's invite Jae-bum over.
Young-eun, you can't invite him over anymore.
No.
You'll only make things harder for him, understand?
All you have to do is change your mind.
Jae-bum doesn't even like Yoon Na-na.
This isn't about Yoon Na-na.
So don't ever invite him over again.
Why cut him off like this? What's good is good, after all.
She's right. You shouldn't disregard someone's sincerity like this.
You like him, too -
No, he won't ever come back here.
I don't understand why you're doing all this.
Having a good life is another form of revenge on Park Jung-woo.
Please excuse me.
Mom and I are on Jae-bum's side. Don't try to stop us.
Please, just stop!
It's all Jung-woo's fault our family ended up like this.
I won't ever stop my revenge.
Everyone knows about the company dinner tonight?
I expect to see everyone there. Especially you, Ga-eun.
It's also a welcome party for you, so you can't ditch.
Are you free?
Yes, but I don't feel so well...
Why, are you sick?
No, I'll be at the dinner.
- We have a company dinner? - Yes, can you make it?
President Park will be present also. So everyone must be there.
Then of course I'll be there, as his wife.
Director Ha. Geez, you reek.
How much did you drink yesterday to still smell of liquor?
Can I take a rain check?
No way, it's not a company dinner without you.
Even if you're feeling hung over, you still need to attend.
Grandma, whose packed lunch is that?
Who else? It's your father's.
Daddy's not coming home? I miss him.
Does my little puppy miss her father?
My eyes are never dry because I miss him so much.
This is all your mother's fault.
Mom, you gotta stop saying these things to Na-ri.
Na-ri, did you pick up the toys in your room?
- I picked up everything. - What a good girl.
You're way too devoted to Bro, Mom. I'm sure he eats well enough.
Nothing beats a home-cooked meal.
You never cared whether I ate out or in the house.
Why are you so dressed up? Where are you going?
Took you long enough to notice.
I need to dress up to attact some attention.
That little...
Na-ri, let's go together to your father.
Okay.
Daddy.
Is that my pretty Na-ri?
Kiss.
Goodness.
I knew it. What a state you're in.
Why didn't you call ahead?
Until when are you gonna rough it outside the home, eh?
Goodness, I'm so upset.
I'm not really roughing it.
I'm doing well enough.
You call this eating well?
Clear that away now and eat the hot food I brought.
If I knew about this sooner, I would've brought over food every day.
Here, eat this.
Why'd you bring all this food?
Go on, eat. Before it gets cold.
I brought the side dishes that you like.
This is the kind of food you enjoy.
There are no nutrients in restaurant food.
You've grown so gaunt in the past few days.
Daddy, when are you coming home?
I miss you.
Huh?
You missed me, eh?
Just come home.
This time it's a company dinner? Then I'm gonna tag along.
Yoon Na-na.
You went to the factory?
How do you feel? Your first brainchild will be born soon.
I can't express my excitement in words.
They go on sale officially next week, correct?
My clothes will be in the stores. Feels like a dream.
I'm sure they'll be a huge hit.
Congratulations, Ga-eun.
The clothes you designed are finally debuting next week?
Then I definitely can't miss the company dinner tonight.
I have to join in on the celebration.
Let's get going.
Jae-bum!
What is with you?
Honey.
Let me pour you a drink.
Ga-eun, accept it but don't drink.
Jung-woo, have a drink.
Let's have a toast.
For the success of Dream Star.
Ga-eun, it's your welcome party. Have a drink.
What's with you?
What's with YOU? It's just a drink.
You know Ga-eun can't drink.
What?
Are you okay?
This is a type of food, too. I can drink it.
You finally discovered the taste of liquor.
Kim Mi-ran!
Don't worry. She'll take care of herself.
Why are you so worried?
I thought you weren't feeling well. Why are you drinking?
- What is it? - You seem off today.
Is something bothering you?
Don't mind me. Go back to Mi-ran.
Um, Ga-eun!
I don't know how this will sound, but I'm so confused these days.
Confused?
I may have been rash in divorcing you.
What do you mean? You regret divorcing me?
The way Na-ri and Mother are... Anyway, things are not good at home.
I think of you a lot.
How unexpected for you to want to see me privately.
Why do you think I wanted to see you?
I don't know. My guess is that you're upset with me.
Even so, you're not going to offer me a drink?
Then I'll pour it myself.
If you wanted to discuss work, we could've talked at the office.
I'm guessing this is about Ga-eun.
Let me ask one thing. How do you feel about her?
That's what I want to ask you.
What are you feelings towards Na-ri's mother?
I asked first.
Don't make things hard for Ga-eun.
I know all too well what you did to her and what pain she went through.
You're awfully interested in our family's affairs.
Don't make things harder for that poor woman.
If you mess with her, I won't forgive you.
I'll make sure you don't get away with it.
This is my warning to you. Remember it well.
Ha Jae-bum!
What right have you to talk about Ga-eun's affairs?
What are you to her?
Ah, I saw how things were earlier. Seems you're in a one-sided love.
Is it not working out?
Or are you uneasy because you fear she still loves me?
What?
It's none of your business what happens between her and me.
You're out of line with that warning of yours.
Ga-eun is the woman I love. That's the right I have.
Understand?
Is there anything left after all the cruel things you did to her?
She went through enough pain because of you.
So just let her go.
You should work on her heart before you come to me.
What?
I know her better than anyone. There's no one for her other than me.
I'm the only man for her.
She's that type of woman, you hear!
So you'll continue to hurt her?
Even after all the scars you gave her by toying with both women,
you're going to continue this shameless act?
I'll say it again.
If you toy with her and hurt her again, I won't just stand by.
I'll put my neck on the line to make sure you get ruined.
Understand?
How dare they disregard me like this!
Jung-woo, first you don't come home. Now you take Ga-eun's side?
Ga-eun, Ga-eun, Ga-eun!
It's me. How are things going with Ga-eun's designs?
What? They were released yesterday so I'm not sure yet.
- You're sure it happened yesterday? - I am.
It'll take some time before a Dream Star employee finds out, don't you think?
Geez, she has no phone manners.
Lie back down. I'm not done picking your ears.
I'm so glad you don't take after Mi-ran's terrible manners.
Am I her daughter? I wouldn't take after her.
The correct thing to say is that she doesn't take after me.
Ah! Why you gotta hit my head?
You're here early.
Take it easy. All these long hours won't enhance your skill anyway.
If you have time to pick a fight, use it to polish your own skills.
That way you won't shame yourself as a Dream Star designer.
Good morning.
Director Ha, did you get home alright?
Yes, I did.
He seems so blue these days.
Do you know what's wrong with him?
Why, is he no longer falling for your wiles?
Ah, my threats must've worked on you.
He figured out the real you and broke up with you, didn't he?
Kim Mi-ran, your voice wears me out. Can you stop already?
Sure, why not? Good day then.
'Things are going to get real interesting. You can look forward to it.'
'I'll pay you back for recklessly attacking me.'
Director, we're in big trouble.
What is it?
Our new designs have been copied and are everywhere.
What?
The marketing team and I went out to research at dawn.
Look at what we found.
This is...
This...
Oh my god, this is Ga-eun's design. How did this...?
I bought it today.
The material and small details are different, but it's overall the same.
How could this happen?
So our designs have been leaked?
The new season's clothes are supposed to be out next week.
Yum, this is good.
It is.
Huh?
Who is it?
Hey, Mi-ran. What?
Oh-oh.
First time I've heard you say 'good job.' Never thought I'd see the day.
This time I did do a good job.
I see they've finally caught wind.
It's a little late, but no matter.
The clothes are everywhere in wholesale and retails stores.
Yeah, don't worry. There's nothing to connect me.
You and your boyfriend lay low and stay indoors for a while.
'Ga-eun, you're in some heavy fog here. How will you escape?'
'Admit your defeat and resign your position quietly.'
'That's the least humiliating option available.'
Don't you know how to knock?
You can't just barge in here like that.
- It was you, wasn't it? - What?
You're the only one. It has to be you.
- What are you babbling about? - You took my designs and leaked them.
Don't bother denying it.
Now you sell designs as well as plagiarize?
Have you no ethics as a designer?
I can't believe I'm hearing this.
Once a thief, always a thief, no?
This is an inside job, and you're the only suspect from the design team!
How dare you accuse me?
Don't blame me for your carelessness.
- It was a cheap design to begin with. - What?
You must've believed it when people praised you.
But your designs have always been low class.
I don't know how they got leaked, but they ended up in the right place.
Kim Mi-ran.
Look, your designs blend right in with the marketplace.
Drop the act, Mi-ran.
You're the only one capable of something so despicable.
I'll definitely expose you for what you did.
I'll make sure your career as a designer is ruined.
Seems your career will be first to go.
What are you going to do about this season's deadline?
But don't worry. What are friends for?
I have a design ready so we'll be able to meet the deadline.
You planned this well, didn't you? You tramp.
I told you not to mess with me.
The heavens helped me out.
Your designs could've been the face of our brand for a whole season.
I shudder at the mere thought.
Think you can beat me with such a lowdown trick?
We'll see if you can keep laughing once I expose your dirty tricks.
'Good, Mi-ran. Now I feel like getting into the fight.'
'I never thought you'd be an easy opponent.'
'I'll make it so that you never pull a dirty trick again.'
'Better get ready.'
You can't find where the leak came from?
What kind of answer is that?
Call me if you find even the smallest clue.
- How'd it go? - Nothing yet.
It's strange that this happened right before the official release.
How could this happen when the clothes are being made in the factory?
It's no small matter. The copies are widespread.
Which means there was a failure in security.
Think there's someone behind this?
Where's Ga-eun?
She went out to find out something.
Did she?
Who would do such a thing?
Jae-bum, shouldn't we come up with an alternative first?
Even if we find out what happened,
we can't sell the clothes when they're already in the market.
She was so excited about her clothes being sold in the stores.
How could this happen?
Is there a way her clothes can still be sold in the stores?
What?
What do you mean you think your designs will be sold this season?
Nothing's set in stone yet but that's my guess.
I wanted you to be the first to know.
Alright. We'll talk later.
What is it?
Dream Star's newest designs are already being sold in the marketplace.
What? Ga-eun's designs?
Yes, so rumor has it that Julia's designs will be used instead.
How could this happen right before the official sale...
Doesn't this work out better for us? If Julia's designs are sold...
But something about this isn't right.
The designs can't be leaked like this unless it was an inside job.
- Shall I look into it? - Yeah.
- Find out where the leak occurred. - Yes, sir.
And Kim, don't have anyone else do it. Look into yourself.
You catch my drift?
Yes, sir.
There's no way Mi-ran's involved again... is there?
How could this happen? This is unbelievable.
The copies of my designs are already everywhere.
It's so widespread, we can't do anything about it.
And you worked so hard.
So what happens to this season's clothes?
Nothing's decided yet but Mi-ran's designs will probably be used.
What?
How can that be? She plagiarized your work!
I imagine she smuggled out my designs with this intent.
You're saying Mi-ran's behind this again?
That's my guess.
Unbelievable. She's not even human.
Don't worry. I won't go down without a fight.
I won't let Mi-ran get away with this.
What are you going to do? Do you have a plan?
Shall I contact Cho Yong-gab and fish for info?
No, don't do that.
I won't want to put you in any danger.
I'll take care of this.
I'll do whatever it takes to expose the culprit.
You're drawing designs?
Yes.
I figure I should keep my head at a time like this.
I can't believe Ga-eun was so careless.
You think the leak happened because of Ga-eun's mistake?
What else is there? Though I can't say it wasn't purposeful.
Purposeful?
A lot of people are interested in our latest designs.
I'm sure it's easy to be tempted if you're having money problems.
Julia, you think that makes any sense?
Are you saying that Ga-eun sold her designs to someone else?
No one knows for sure.
Designs are the designer's pride. She would never sell them.
How can you say such a thing as a fellow designer?
How are Ga-eun and I the same kind of designer?
We're in different classes.
Julia.
I told you from the start that she's not qualified to be a designer.
All this happened because you ignored me and did as you pleased.
So you think all of this is Ga-eun's fault, is that it?
Entirely.
I will do whatever it takes to find out who was behind this.
- You should. - And...
...the culprit will pay the price accordingly.
Completely.
I hope it works out that way.
Though I don't know if that resolve will hold up
if it turns out to be Ga-eun.
Mi-ran, you ruined all my efforts in a single swipe.
Think I'll be beat so easily?
I won't let you get away with this.
