- Mr. Jang. - Yeah?

- Then sample's here. - Just put it wherever.

Hey, Lee Sojin. Where did you put the sample?

I just did what Mr. Jang told me to and left it on his desk.

- I said what? - What do you mean?

Are you saying I should tender my resignation too?

- Ms. Jeong! - Really...

This is absurd.

Why should I quit because of Lee Sojin?

I've looked everywhere for it.

You don't think it's fair?

I know you did that because you're upset,

but you shouldn't talk to me like that...

Get out! Get out of here!

You already struck out.

What's going on here?

Who lost the sample?

Was it you?

Whatever your answer is, you've no responsibilities.

It's true that our company sustained losses because of you,

but you're not to be held accountable.

Because you don't have the qualifications or status.

Lee Soyeong, how did you end up like this?

I beg you.

Please let me use a sewing machine.

You'll get an earful if the general manager sees you.

Episode 3

Get out of here quick. Hurry!

Are you nuts?

Do you know how much trouble I'll be in because of you?

What is it?

She came back again, asking me for a ludicrous favor.

We're busy as it is.

Please let me use a sewing machine.

I beg you.

Get out of here. Scat.

Are you for real?

Let her use one.

Pardon?

Are you deaf? Hurry up.

Oh, okay. Then...

Use this one.

Thank you.

Use that one.

Let her use a proper one.

This one doesn't even work.

Thank you.

Do you have the design guidelines?

I can remember since I wore the piece.

So you're just waiting around for Mr. Jang and Ms. Park

to get back from the dry cleaners?

I'm sorry.

I'll be held accountable as the head of the team.

I bet you don't even care because you're going on maternity leave.

Hold on!

I'm sorry this is late. Here.

Wait a moment.

I'm sorry for causing you concern.

You said I don't have qualifications or status to be held accountable,

but I still wanted to do whatever I could.

I'm sorry.

Do you really think Lee Sojin made that?

No way. She probably had a dry cleaner do it.

Call Sojin and ask which dry cleaner.

We can go there next time.

Are you planning on losing another sample?

Give me a break. It would just be good to know, that's all.

You keep saying I lost the sample, but you're wrong.

I've been telling you...

Wait. What are you doing here?

I knew it.

I must be losing it.

How could I put it here...

So I may have put it here, but why couldn't you find it?

How could you miss this?

You're such a pain! A real pain!

The poor thing. You were so mean to her.

Thanks to you, I became a crazy witch.

Darn it, you figure out what to do.

What's up? Aren't you clocking out?

I should.

Wait. Where's Lee Sojin? She went home already?

The temp's supposed to be the last to leave.

She's gone for good.

She finished her one-week contract.

What? So she's not coming back?

No. Why are you so startled?

No... just that...

The late-night snacks are on me.

So she's not working here anymore...

You said I don't have the qualifications or status to be held accountable,

but I still wanted to do whatever I could.

Hi, Yunseo. Where are you?

Oppa, why don't you invite Hyeon to our dinner?

We didn't do anything special for her on Children's Day.

Okay. That's a good idea.

Yes, okay. See you later.

Okay, see you.

[Hyeon]

[End call]

Say "ah".

It's good.

I'll never take off this apron.

I plan to sleep in it.

I'm so relieved you like it.

Do you know when I fell for you, Hyeran?

When?

When you held on to my waist and refused to let go.

You had such a grip.

I could feel your strong will and determination.

That's when it occurred to me.

You're a woman who wouldn't waste money I've worked hard to save.

I realized you would make a great wife.

My hand's gravitating toward you.

Your lips are pulling mine like a magnet.

- Seonnam. - Oh!

Ma'am.

This the rent. I'll get you the overdue rent soon.

I'm sorry it's late.

Soyeong.

Don't hate Hyerin too much.

She's actually a very nice woman.

Well... she's a hard worker and makes enough money.

You two make a good couple.

That makes me feel a lot better.

I hope you meet a great man like me very soon.

And don't pretend you're okay.

They say keeping things in can make you sick.

I know on the inside, you're crying your heart out over me.

Pardon?

I won't say I'm sorry.

I heard it's the last thing a woman wants to hear after she's dumped.

Pardon?

- It's getting late, I should get going. - Wait, Soyeong. Here.

This looks like the perfect job for you. It's at a restaurant.

They're looking for someone who's diligent and will stay on.

The most important thing is that there is no age restriction.

- I see. - So, good luck!

You're home?

I'm back.

Just look at you. You reek of alcohol.

You're such an embarrassment.

I didn't drink.

Sure, you didn't Anyone could smell you a mile away.

- Does Seonnam know you're a drunk? - Huh?

Does he like you in spite of what you're really like?

I hope you don't drink in front of him.

What are you talking about?

There's nothing going on between us!

How can you even think I would see him?

What? Don't you like him?

What's wrong with Seonnam?

He's diligent and had his own house, what else could you ask for?

- Mom! - That's right.

And if Unni marries him, we won't have to pay rent.

I shouldn't even bother.

What? You had grilled pork by yourselves?

You haven't had dinner yet?

Not even my family cares about me.

What's wrong with her now?

What? Maybe she got dumped?

Can you believe this?

She always has dinner with her work people, why suddenly throw a fit?

When she ever brought home any meat?

Mom, look.

Isn't she hilarious?

I've had such a rough day.

Dad, why are you doing this to me?

Where are you?

Hey, hey! We'll get noise complaints.

Hey! What's this?

Can I use this?

I've a real bad case of athlete's foot.

What are you doing? It's gross!

Weren't you throwing it out?

Take it off! It's not yours.

I'll wash it, okay?

What's the big fuss over this crappy little thing?

Wait a minute.

Are you seeing someone?

Huh? What are you talking about?

Enough said, I can tell.

This woman's definitely not a keeper.

How can she wear this crap?

I bet it's very difficult to find something like this these days.

The thing about woman is that the prettier ones are nicer.

And it's the fashionable ones who know how to live it up.

Why do you date such a rustic woman?

Do you know that all the women you've dated aren't sophisticated and stylish?

- What? - Good grief.

Don't you remember? Yellow stockings.

Hey! There was nothing wrong with her.

She experimented with fashion.

Apart from her, they've all been stylish. They've all been hot.

Hot? Which one was hot?

How about her? The airhead with giant eyes?

The one who would go, "Oppa".

The one who looked like a weasel?

This punk...

I'm sorry.

You bawled for two days straight after the weasel dumped you, right?

Sorry for throwing salt on your wound.

That's not cool! Here you go.

That's so gross!

Darn it.

It sure is wretched though.

We'll have Hyeon come with us next time.

Her maternal grandmother came over out of the blue.

Hyeon's mother had no choice.

This about you.

You still don't feel comfortable about the three of us being together.

I'm sorry, Oppa.

I'm so sensitive these days.

It's probably because I'm still jet-lagged.

I'm sorry.

Yes, Mr. Baek.

Are you talking about the plans for changing our supplier?

- Just a moment. - Sure.

What's the matter?

You said you'd be less formal when we're alone.

Okay, let me lay it right out.

You know very well that we've been working with Myeongsin for years.

But, how can you unilaterally annul the contract for no apparent reason?

We're doing it to cut costs.

I don't trust Cheon, Ilseong's CEO.

Especially since Ilseong was recommended by Executive Director Hyeon.

I know you're not in a position to simply ignore her suggestions.

But, I can't help getting angry from time to time.

I know you've been keeping your cool for me.

I'm always grateful.

Get back to work.

You need to look over these.

What do you think about turning this into women's wear?

Would it be commercially viable?

I'm just a seamstress, what would I know?

You're my teacher, please help me.

They were both made by the same person.

Both of these were made by her?

Wake up, Lee Soyeong.

A few times in front of a sewing machine doesn't make you a designer.

You should've picked it up.

Hello?

Lee Sojin? Just a moment.

Hey, for you.

Yes, this is her.

The Style?

Really?

Sure, of course.

Yes, okay. Thank you.

Hey, they want you to report to work tomorrow.

What? Why?

They're making you a designer.

What?

She's pulling my leg again.

I won't fall for her antics again.

This is Lee Sojin.

Is there a problem with the sample?

I'm sorry, but...

Pardon? A junior designer?

Really?

Hey... what's this about?

You've become a designer?

Okay then. Bye.

What about the textile company? What's this about being a designer?

Well... that's... so...

The truth is, she got fired from the textile company.

What? You weren't on vacation for being a model employee?

Hey!

I don't know what's going on.

In any case, you're going to work, right?

You won't be lazing around at home, right?

You're nuts, Lee Soyeong.

No, this isn't right.

One lie is a slip-up,

but two lies are a crime.

My goodness!

Thank you for helping me last time.

Not coming?

What's up?

Pardon? Yes...

It's a six-month contract. The monthly salary is $1,000.

You'll be provided with all four major national insurance policies.

You can start today, right?

Submit your ID card.

Pardon? My ID card?

Why do you need them?

You're dismissed.

Wait a moment.

Please give me some time to think.

Time to think?

Yes. That's...

Lee Sojin, your someone strange.

Didn't you come here to work?

I'm sorry, just a moment.

Hey! They said to bring ID card.

Why didn't you tell me?

I would've said no if I had known.

I can lend you my national ID card.

You got the job thanks to me, so you'll give me a cut, right?

What? Hey!

I was scared out of my mind over the past week for having to live a lie.

Are you saying I've to lie for six months?

Then just show them your actual ID card.

What?

They're not hiring you as a fit model, but as a designer.

They called you because they like how you make clothes.

That's right.

So just tell them how old you are and get to work.

Being old is nothing to be ashamed of.

Okay, I'll be honest.

If they say no, I can just walk out.

Even if I've to become a bum, no more lies.

Yes, have you decided?

I would first like to know why I got this offer?

We were impressed by how you made the sample.

You've the skills and talent we're looking for.

I've something to tell you.

Actually, my real name's Lee Soyeong not Lee Sojin.

And I'm...

not 25 years old...

but 34.

I'm so sorry.

I had no choice but to lie.

But if you give me a chance, I'll work as a junior designer

and do my very best.

You're very courageous for revealing your real age.

You're the very person we've been looking for.

This is strange.

The cold and aloof team head would never smile at me.

So that probably means...

this isn't what's really happening.

I'm so honored with the offer...

but I'd like to know why I was picked.

I don't know the details,

but a lot of employees were laid off recently.

We need someone to do odds and ends.

I suppose it makes sense to hire someone who has worked here before.

Plus, you're very young.

Pardon?

So you're saying I've been hired because I'm young?

Ms. Lee Sojin, you don't have to take the offer.

You don't want this, right?

So long.

Ma'am!

Hello.

Welcome, newbie.

- Welcome! - Welcome!

It's good to have you, here's a gift.

Thank you.

You can use it as a hair tie like Nara,

or wear it on the arm like me.

Sorry about what happened last time.

Just forget the whole thing.

Okay.

Looks like you've packed on a few kilos.

No dinner for you from tonight on, okay?

Don't you dare come in here tomorrow with a flabby tummy.

You'll get it from me.

She's part of our team now, that's no way to welcome her.

Our newbie, I'm out of cigarettes.

- A waffle for me. - No whip cream on mine.

I want mint tea.

I can't believe I've to spend the next six months taking orders from them.

At least I got this gift for becoming a designer.

Hey! I heard your temping gig was over.

You must be here to pay me back.

I had forgotten about you.

Look at you. You're a designer now, huh?

But even that thing looks rustic on you.

- It's amazing. - Move.

Hey, Lee Sojin! Welcome, nonetheless.

Let's make this work, okay?

[Lee Sojin]

We look nothing like one another.

[Human Resources]

- Your ID card? - Yes.

- Just a moment. - Okay.

Here, all set.

Thank you. Have a good one.

Look. Something's off, isn't it?

It's not her photo.

What's going on here?

Excuse me! Hold on a moment!

Hey, Lee Sojin! Where are you going?

Darn it, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Please forgive me just this once. I didn't do this on purpose.

There were various extenuating circumstances.

Please let me off the hook. What am I going to do?

Hey.

What are you doing? Are you running a high fever?

Here, this.

It's yours, right?

How rustic. Who wears scrunchies these days?

Why did you call my name from behind?

- What? - Really!

Then where should I call your name from?

Do I always have to stand in front of you?

Don't call out my name unless it's an emergency.

How rude!

Darn it!

Darn it!

[Lying about your age to get a job]

[Can result in immediate dismissal...]

[Constitutes obstruction of business activities and forgery of official document...]

- Lee Sojin, come here. - Sure.

Why do you have that?

Why? Can't I see it? I'm your mentor.

No, it's not that.

Look at you.

You little sneak.

I'm sorry.

I didn't do it on purpose.

You got your nose done, huh?

You did your eyes too, right?

is there anything that wasn't fixed?

Pardon?

But, isn't your look better pre-plastic surgery?

You must have gone to an awful clinic.

What's up?

It's the newbie's resume. Let me see.

She was in the Miss Jujube Contest?

- That's... - She does look like a dried jujube.

Oh, my goodness. She knows how to belly dance too.

Our team won't have any problems at company talent shows.

We could even get the first prize.

You speak French too?

French?

- Bonjour. - Bonjour.

Our newbie has beauty, brains, and personality.

You don't speak French, Lee Sojin. I must be nuts.

Let's get to work!

Ms. Park, who's going Rosemary today?

Hey, newbie, go to the Rosemary Mall.

Okay.

Drive carefully. Don't get a single scratch on it.

Okay, thanks.

Drop off our newbie on your way over, okay?

What? Lee Sojin?

- Why should I drop her off? - Give me the key.

Okay, okay.

This isn't cool of you.

You could at least thank me.

Do you even know how you got the position?

What do you know anyway.

Are you saying you got me the job?

You see, I showed the top you made to Mr. Ji.

So you're saying it was Mr. Ji who recruited me?

I think that's what happened.

But why would he...

Really! Just take a look.

- You must be a virus. - What?

Just look. Whenever I'm with you, trouble ensues.

I was humiliated at the party, you left me in the restroom.

I had to part with my baby, and I'm on Mr. Ji's blacklist.

See? This road should be empty this time of the day,

you tag along and a major traffic jam.

Should I go down my list too?

Why are we going this way?

Being with you is so scary my heart will stop beating, so I'm taking a shortcut.

- Why? - Whatever...

You and your nonsense...

- What you want to do? - I'm at the wheel, should I?

I'm pressed for time as it is.

Help me.

Really!

Hey!

Has he lost his mind?

My cell phone.

Hey!

Give me my cell phone and purse if you're going to leave.

- Who is it? - Yes, hello.

I'm Yunseo's friend.

I can't get a hold of Yunseo and was worried that she may be ill.

Miss Yunseo left for the States on Saturday.

Pardon?

Huh?

I must be crazy.

She's not even in Korea right now.

Wake up, Jinuk. Why are you so pathetic?

I'm sorry, okay. Yes, okay.

Look at that temper.

She's just like Lee Sojin.

Lee Sojin.

I'm really going to kill Choi Jinuk.

She'll throw a fit.

I give up, she'll come to the mall.

My dear Madame Jeon, you look lovelier every time.

It's nice seeing you too, but times aren't good right now.

What's going on?

You know they're reorganizing the shops, right?

Things don't look good.

Come on, you know I've Mr. An covered.

Rumors are always rampant around this time of the year.

But this store's been here for several years now.

And it's not like sales have fallen.

That's true, but still...

By the way, did a girl show up here?

She's tiny, but looks very mean.

You sure have a knack for causing me grief.

Are you done with your market research?

You must be tired, hop in.

Are you really not getting in?

Give me my purse.

Get in. Please, please, pretty please?

I want my purse.

I'll give it to you if you hop in.

Come on.

Here, yes.

What a nice day.

It sure has gotten a lot warmer.

The thing about work is...

Hey!

That hurts! You'll cause an accident.

You can't assault someone who's driving.

And don't you know how much it costs to make one of those catalogs?

Look at how it's bent?

You're a nutcase, psycho, and pervert!

Stop it! I've something to say too.

Do you have any idea how long I was looking for you?

And are you stupid?

You should've called. What's the use of cell phone?

You drove off with my cell phone.

That's right. I see.

You must be mad.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm sorry.

But I was in a real rush back there.

Lighten up, will you?

Whatever, just give me my cell phone and purse.

They're in the back.

Don't be too angry.

I'll write off $5 from your loan.

Take the $5 and shove it.

So you're saying it was Mr. Ji who recruited me?

I think that was what happened.

Well...

There were quite a few slip-ups the other day.

And thank you...

for seeing my potential though.

Now that I know you offered me the position,

I can see that despite your annoying...

I mean, very serious manner of speech,

you've a good eye for talent.

I any case, thank you so much.

- I should've come to thank you sooner... - If you've the time to come see me,

- study the swatches instead. - Pardon?

What's up? What a surprise?

I've come to see Mr. Ji Seungil.

Please look this over.

I'd like to work for The Style.

What?

Why? Not going to look?

I graduated with honors from Parsons and even worked as head designer for Personal.

I also won the Alice Birkin award.

This is nerve-wracking.

This is making me more nervous than when I applied to Personal.

Why do you look so serious? I don't qualify?

Are you scared people will say I go it because of my mom?

Or would it be too uncomfortable for you to work with me?

This is refreshing.

It gives an overview of your life.

So have I passed or failed?

No, no. It can't be her.

No.

Is it true?

So she won't be coming back?

That's what I heard. Maternity leave, my foot.

But Ms. Kim on team two came back two weeks after giving birth.

She wasn't even 30 years old.

This is scary. What's our standard retirement age anyway?

You're just getting in?

Ms. Jeong wanted me to pick up something at the market.

Would you like to join us for coffee?

She can't. Someone needs to man the office.

We're getting a new fit model today.

Oh, right. I heard she's 22 years old.

We'll have some eye candy for a while. Right?

Yeah, let's go.

Hey! When the model gets here, make sure she knows her place.

The younger ones need discipline, okay?

Yes.

Do fit models really need discipline?

Is there a meeting?

This will do.

I should have been more careful not to lose it in the first place.

No.

Do as you will.

Don't you remember me?

You're new to the design team, right?

Yes.

So you're walking around with designer goods when you make a living as a fitting model.

Do you have an older sister?

As someone who has lived longer than you,

let me give you a piece of advice.

You shouldn't live like that.

This is what I tell my little sister.

Appearance means nothing.

What really matters is what's on the inside.

It's pathetic to see losers walking around with designer goods.

Hey! What are you doing?

Have you lost your mind?

These are the works of designers.

You're in for a lot of trouble.

Ms. Kang, you're here early.

I heard you were starting work tomorrow.

I was so eager to get started that I couldn't sit at home.

Say hello, everyone.

She's the new head of our team, Ms. Kang Yunseo.

Nice to meet you.

Hello.

I'm Assistant Manager Jang Gihong.

I'm honored to be working under someone as famous as yourself.

Nice to meet you, I'm Lee Mingi.

This is Ms. Park's, right?

How did you...

This is Mr. Jang's.

Yes, that's right.

Ms. Jeong must like mannish designs.

Yes.

Mr. Lee and Ms. Gwon must read the same magazines.

Your designs are identical.

Yes.

Please don't let me see such designs again.

No matter what you do, you should do it well.

Did I scare you?

Don't worry.

I'll have our team's designs covered.

How old are you?

She's 25 years old.

You said appearance isn't everything, right?

What a shame. I beg to differ.

Appearance's everything.

Especially at a fashion company.

That was a piece of advice from someone who has lived longer than you.

Your office is this way. Follow me.

What a day.

The fit-model's a no-show.

Kids these days have no manners.

They have no respect for their elders.

I've been in this industry at least a year longer than she has.

How dare that young thing cause a scene first thing in the morning?

Who cares if she's Director Hyeong's daughter? It's so annoying!

I get what you mean,

but it's strange coming from you.

Mr. Jang and I are your superiors.

Right, that's true.

By the way, how do you know the new head of the team?

Have you met before?

No, first time I met her.

Then how did you know who she was?

She has been in a lot of magazines and won many awards in New York.

That figures.

How would Mr. Jang know someone like Kang Yunseo?

What? What did you just say?

Come on now. Why are you all so sensitive today?

Let's cool it.

Getting old is sad.

What can you do? You've to accept it.

You're lucky, newbie.

Age works in your favor.

Time will fly for her too.

Before you know it, you'll hit 30.

Then you'll know how we feel.

Will you be okay?

It won't be easy to manage team members who are older than you.

Does leadership always come with age?

You're a bona fide team head already.

It's reassuring.

This is the winning design for the contest?

I know the announcement has already made,

but I just don't get why you chose this.

And I'm even more against this designer working for us.

Why? It's not clich� and it's comfortable.

Ms. Kang, what do you think?

This designer piques my interest.

Could I meet him or her?

Excuse me, Ms. Kang wanted us to take a look at this.

What is it?

The winner must have been announced.

Let's see.

Where is the designer from? Parsons? Esmod?

Parsons...

It's not that great. The fundamentals aren't there.

Why? It's very imaginative.

Lee Soyeong?

My aunt's Lee Soyeong too.

Hey! What do you want?

- Move, will you? - Okay.

What's wrong with her?

I don't think it's all that bad.

I'm going to kill Lee Sojin.

[Winners' list]

[Grand Prize: Lee Soyeong]

[You'll get a chance to become a designer at The Style]

So I won the grand prize...

Does that mean I can become a regular employee?

- Lee Sojin! - Yes?

What are you doing here?

Nothing, nothing at all.

That's right. I'm here as Lee Sojin.

[Sojin]

Hey, are you out of your mind? It was you, right?

You submitted my design sketch, right?

How could you submit it without my permission?

You know I work here under your name, how can you submit my design?

They'll find out I've been lying when I go pick up the prize.

Who's going to get the prize?

I can go.

What? So you're going to work here as a designer?

Why would I?

- I just want the prize money. - What?

Hey! Where are you right now?

Where are you, you lunatic?

Where in the world is the PR department?

It's not on the third floor? Maybe the fifth floor?

I need to get the money and say hi to the higher ups.

Are you... Wait a minute.

- Please, Sojin. Don't. Don't do it. - I'll give you a cut of the prize money.

See you later at home.

What?

She's a nutcase.

Lee Sojin.

Must be the fifth floor.

Give it back! Give it back to me!

Give it to me right now! Give it to me!

Hey, Lee Sojin. Do you still play this game?

You're too short.

Give it back. Give it to me quickly!

How about a "pretty please"?

Hand it to me right now!

Is this your friend?

You... where have I seen you before?

Me? Do you want to know who I am?

Should I tell you my name? My name is...

Hey!

-Hey! Are you out of your mind? - What's this?

- Let go. - Apologize, will you?

Let me go.

I need to go! I'm in a rush!

- This way. - Yes.
