HA JAE-BUM
Hello?
What? What happened to Jae-bum?
Is this how you take care of business?
Is something wrong?
It's been found out that we rigged the sales!
That's impossible.
You idiot. I told you to be careful.
Get out!
That wench is using Chairman Maeng to try and kill us.
Honey, what do we do?
Did you really buy all my clothes and fake the sales?
Keep quiet.
This happened because you're so lacking in skill!
That's no reason to take the skin off our own backs.
We lost our money AND were humiliated in front of everyone.
If you hadn't lost to Ga-eun in the first place, we wouldn't be here.
Our position was seriously weakened.
So you're blaming me for the contract termination?
Who says it'll be terminated?
Chairman Maeng won't let us go so easily.
I won't back down like Ga-eun wants.
No way.
Get the car ready.
What brings you here?
Director Yoo Ga-eun has informed us of the contract termination.
Ah, that?
Please reconsider, sir.
Sir.
Secretary Yoon.
Yes, sir.
Recognize this?
It's the contract between Star and Dream.
We're allowed to terminate if the other party tarnishes our image.
I believe that's what the contract says.
Chairman, I was just trying to help Dream Star...
Sir, please forgive us this once. We'll work harder from now on.
This is my reply.
It's time for you to go.
As of today, we're no longer collaborating with Star Fashion.
Sir, please reconsider just this once. If you give us one last chance...
President Park, my mistake was that I gave you too many chances.
I believe we have no more business between us.
Goodbye.
Sir!
'I didn't terminate the contract earlier in order to hold onto Yoo Ga-eun.'
What happened?
I found him unconscious, dead drunk.
The doctor says it was a close shave.
Thank you.
I turned on his phone and found your picture and number.
Thank you for calling me.
Tell me if you need anything.
Why are you doing this?
How much will you ruin yourself for a woman like me?
Honey, what's gonna happen to Star? What do we do now?
Ga-eun, you dare get in my way?
Honey, should I go talk to Ga-eun?
How about I beg her in tears to change the chairman's mind?
It worked last time.
And you think it'll work again? She's determined to destroy us.
But a part of her is still weak-hearted.
People can change to some degree but not entirely.
I'll use Na-ri to get some sympathy from her.
Will you stop?
If that was gonna work, she wouldn't have attacked us like this!
There has to be something. A way to knock Ga-eun down.
I'm sorry. Please wake up.
I love you.
I love you, Jae-bum.
Do you believe Ga-eun got engaged to the chairman because she loves him?
Well, until recently she was with Director Ha...
You mean...?
Exactly. She's not with the chairman because she loves him.
Where's Director Ha right now?
He's in China right now.
But what use is it even if he returns? She's already engaged.
But she's not married yet.
There's no way Ha Jae-bum will let Chairman Maeng have her.
And Ga-eun has feelings for Jae-bum, too.
Then... we'll get those two together...?
I believe our solution has presented itself.
Kim, find out if Director Ha has returned from China.
And get a man on Ga-eun.
Make sure you get a money shot of them together.
Do you catch my drift? We can't have any mistakes this time.
Understand?
Excuse me.
Yes?
Can you call this number, please?
Excuse me?
Please.
And please don't tell anyone that I was here.
Sir, it's me.
Yoo Ga-eun just came back from somewhere.
I caught her coming home, not leaving the house.
Yes, I understand. I'll keep watching her.
Is Ga-eun adjusting well to her new position?
Yes.
There will be a lot of complaints about the sudden appointment.
Do what you can to take care of her.
Director Kang's already on the job.
Kid, stop sulking. I'll promote you soon enough.
You know this isn't about a promotion.
We don't even know where and what Jae-bum is up to...
Answer your phone, kid.
Hello?
What?
Who? Ha Jae-bum? Yes, I know him.
He what?
Why'd Jung-woo leave for work so early?
There's urgent business.
Did something happen at work?
I'm sure nothing good happened with Ga-eun and Chairman Maeng affianced.
You always ask such obvious questions.
You little...!
Stop being a know-it-all and fanning the fire!
Are you seriously eating all the side dishes I made?
If you're a guest, behave with some tact.
Totally at home, aren't you?
I know, right? I should have more tact.
But I adjust too well and I'm too optimistic to have tact.
By the way, ma'am, this dish is to die for.
I just can't stop eating it.
It's real delish.
Goodness, why do I bother?
Grandma, do I look pretty?
Why do you look like that?
Your lips are blood-red and you look like you have two black eyes!
You made her up to look like a little tramp.
Clean it off her NOW!
But she looks so pretty.
This is proper stage make-up, you have no idea.
She'll look real good in the kindergarten recital pictures.
Na-ri should stand out and look the prettiest, no?
Wh-what?
Na-ri, don't you want to stand out?
Do you like the way I did your make-up?
Yup, I like it.
Who's coming to the recital today?
Your parents are too busy to come.
So grandma number one, grandma number two,
and young grandpop will be there.
Na-ri, Mom's a little busy today. I'll go next time, okay?
Will you take pictures of me?
Of course.
Mom, take care of Na-ri for me.
Jae-bum? Are you coming to?
What the hell happened? Why are you being so stupid?
It was you Seo-jin?
Huh?
Was it you by my side all this time?
Is that so important? You could've died!
Why do you keep doing such foolish things?
Of course... of course she didn't come.
Jae-bum, snap out of it.
Father and Ga-eun getting engaged isn't the end of the world.
You have to continue living your life.
Please let it all go and come back to being the Jae-bum I love.
Seo-jin? How's Jae-bum?
I see.
Bring him home as soon as he's better.
It'll tell you exactly how Park Jung-woo stole Sun Apparel.
It'll also tell you the names of the men who betrayed the late Chairman Yoo.
Jung-woo, get ready.
I'll make sure you go down the same way you ruined my father.
Yes, we'll be at the airport to pick her up.
Don't mention it.
Talks with your agency are well underway.
We'll give you the 4-star treatment if you sign with us, Ms. Yeo Mi-joo.
Then we'll see you tomorrow.
Yeo Mi-joo? The Korean-born designer who's hot in Italy right now?
That's her. Why didn't you stay home?
Honey, are you going to recruit her?
We need a plan B now that things have ended with Dream.
I'm gonna stake everything on the new clothing line.
Go ahead and stake everything.
But what about me? This means I'm useless at Star.
Why are you recruiting Yeo Mi-joo?
You seriously asking?
Whose fault is it that we ended up like this?
Your designs were poorly received and we had to cover for you.
And now you want us to stake the company on YOU again?
Shall we die together?
Then what am I supposed to do? Huh?
I'm all about being a designer.
If you take that from me, what do I have left?
Take time off and focus on the baby.
You have to take a pregnancy leave soon anyway.
Use the time for the baby and to rebuild your morale.
If you disregard the fake sales, Julia's latest designs were a failure.
Okay. I'll focus on the baby for now.
Leak the contract termination news into the stock exchange.
Yes.
Is that so?
Star Fashion is attempting to recruit the designer Yeo Mi-joo?
She's flying in from Italy tomorrow?
Find out what time she lands. Thank you.
Jung-woo, you want Yeo Mi-joo, do you?
Please prepare this report again.
Yes, ma'am.
What brings you here, Julia? You're no longer an employee here.
I'm here to pick up my stuff.
I'm relieved that I don't have to see your face anymore.
The feeling's mutual.
I wanted to return the favor and pack up your things for you.
You won't allow me that last chance of generosity as your superior?
You didn't have to come back yourself.
I thought I should say my goodbyes in person.
True. Go ahead and say goodbye to everyone.
By the way...
I'm sorry we can't hold a goodbye party due to your dishonorable termination.
Goodbye.
Still have something left to say?
You wench. You think I'll forgive you?
Forgive ME? Who's the one who can't forgive whom?
How can you be so shameless?
Got nothing to fear with the chairman on your side?
Think we'll let you get away with this? Things won't go the way you want.
Again, you're saying my line.
Still as delusional as ever.
If you have the time to threaten me, go worry about your guys' future.
- Get off your high horse! - This is the end of your designer career.
I'll make sure people hear every detail of the corrupt things you did.
You'll be blacklisted just with the design leak alone.
What?
Who will trust you then in the small fashion industry?
No one will take you, no matter how talented you are.
Don't act cute, Ga-eun. People won't recruit me in Korea?
Did you already forget that I was accepted in Hollywood?
Way back when?
You're so REAL talented your husband used his money to buy all your clothes?
You're done.
Yoo Ga-eun.
I pitied your hard-knock life and didn't want to blackball you.
But you abandoned Sung-eun. I can't forgive that.
Look, wench! I didn't abandon him!
When he got lost, I was kidnapped while out looking for him.
I spent years dealing with an extreme case of claustrophobia.
And I had to sever ties with my birthmother.
All my unhappiness began with you.
And you expect my sympathy? When hell freezes over.
Um...
I heard you were unwell.
What brings you here?
I'm sorry.
Why is a great chairman like you apologizing to a nobody like me?
Our family fell a long time ago.
You don't think twice about marrying a girl young enough to be your daughter.
So why the show of apologizing?
Please don't be angry and just watch me do my best.
Watch you do what?
You want me to stand by and watch my daughter be unhappy?
I know why you're so worried.
But I'll give her everything she wants and make sure she's happy.
That's what you think.
You think she'll be happy when she's marrying a man she doesn't love?
Please, take this.
What is this?
Well, I thought this place might be too uncomfortable.
I looked into a bigger place for you.
You want me to sell my daughter for a life of luxury?
Please don't refuse my goodwill.
I don't want it.
And I'll tell you again. I won't let you have my Ga-eun.
An engagement isn't a done deal.
I'm going to make sure the wedding never happens.
After everything I did to get here, think the designer Julia will crumble so easily?
Your designs were poorly received and we had to cover for you.
This is the end of your designer career.
I'm going to make a comeback and show you two!
At this rate, Jung-woo might leave me.
Where did he hide the company accounting books?
I need his weakness if I don't want to be kicked out of Star Fashion.
Is that so? Yeo Mi-joo's agency has shown interest in us?
Yes, what shall I do? Shall I get them on the line?
Hold on.
Yes, Chairman.
I was just wondering what you were up to right now.
I'm bored because you're spending all your time working.
Alright. You'll stop by later?
I'll be waiting.
What's that? You want to use my name?
Why even bother asking for permission? You're my fiancé now.
Alright then.
Thank you, sir. Goodbye.
Connect me to her agency.
Yes, ma'am.
Hello, I have Director Yoo Ga-eun of Dream on the line.
Hello, this is Yoo Ga-eun.
Our chairman is very interested in Miss Yeo.
Are you interested in working with Dream?
We'd like to meet with her as soon as she gets in tomorrow.
We'll lay out the details of our offer then.
I'm sorry but you miscarried.
What do I do? What am I supposed to do now?
What can I do?
Sir, terrible news.
Why the huge fuss?
News of the contract termination is everywhere in the stock exchange.
What? Already?
Our stock value is already falling.
And it'll continue falling at this rate. What can we do?
We need to invert the rumor.
Quick, spread the news that we'll be working with Oriental.
You want to make it seem like we broke things off?
Exactly.
We let go of the rotten tooth Dream and found a new partner in Oriental.
But that'll be verified soon enough.
We'll have to take measures before it is.
Make an appointment with President Hwang of Oriental.
We need to form a partnership NOW.
That's the only way we'll get some reprieve.
Yes, sir.
Anything from the man tailing Ga-eun?
He's watching her.
I also received information that Dream is contacting Yeo Mi-joo furtively.
What? Why didn't you tell me sooner?
- I'm telling you now. - Fool.
Ga-eun, you're forming a bad habit of messing with me.
Spread the rumor that we've already recruited Yeo Mi-joo.
Yes, sir.
You spread the rumor that we recruited Yeo Mi-joo with a fantastic offer?
Yes, it's everywhere in the stock exchange like you ordered.
That so? Then he'll bite soon.
PARK JUNG-WOO
That didn't even take a second. And I thought he was smarter than this.
Hello, this is Yoo Ga-eun.
Why did you want to see me?
You're enjoying this game of surprising me, aren't you?
Were you surprised? That's good.
I was worried you were too dense to feel any surprise at all.
Ga-eun, was I wrong about you all this time?
Who was the woman I lived with for six years?
Is this your true face?
Who's the one who made me like this?
You're the one who killed the old Yoo Ga-eun.
You killed my father and framed my brother, who then died in prison.
And you expected me to stay that submissive, kind Yoo Ga-eun?
What?
You approached me and won me over with the intent to take over Sun Apparel.
Then you tricked me and had me raise Mi-ran and your daughter for 6 years.
You think I can forgive any of that?
Yoo Ga-eun.
You stole my father's company, killed my brother and killed me as well.
Prepare yourself.
I'll be the one who kills you and Mi-ran.
Ga-eun, what the hell are you saying?
Listen real good, Park Jung-woo.
I'll get back my father's company and take back Na-ri as my daughter.
Look forward to it.
