Surprised to see me?

Young Chae.

What do you mean, Young Chae?

Why are you calling her Young Chae?

Hey! You conniving witch.

How dare you impersonate my daughter?

What do you mean, she's not Young Chae?

Just tell me what's going on!

She's right.

I'm not Joo Young Chae.

That's impossible.

You're telling me you didn't know either, Chairman Gong?

Of course not! Would I have let this go on?

Enough with your lies.

You thought you could impersonate my daughter...

and marry into the Kunhyang family?

You...

And these clothes are Young Chae's, aren't they?

Take them off! Take them off right now!

The purse, the shoes, take them all off!

I taught her to be impeccably punctual.

Young Chae doesn't quite see it that way, Chairman Gong.

What do you mean, "different?"

She'd like to date for about a month before deciding.

What? Why, that little...

Oh, my.

Oh, you know. Just a pet name between us.

You get it, right?

I think my being here will only make her more uncomfortable.

Perhaps I should see you another time.

Very well.

Go on, then.

What is she playing at?

(Mom)

Where are you going?

- The person you have reached... - Gosh, this little brat.

She's not answering her phone again.

Young Chae, I swear... Gosh!

Darn. Why is this thing so heavy?

This is so annoying!

You startled me.

Please stop. People are watching.

What are you talking about? There's no one here.

Wait.

CEO Joo, what are you doing here?

Madam Gong asked if I'm with you. She's asked twice now.

I've won some major brownie points with my future mother-in-law.

We need to pick out Young Chae's wedding dress.

Come to the hotel wedding shop by 4 p.m. tomorrow.

Tomorrow afternoon?

She must think the vice chairman of Kunhyang Group has time for that.

I have to be there, no matter how swamped I am.

I can't miss out on the honor of picking out my bride's dress.

Oh, Ha Neul. Young Chae must be coming too, right?

Yes, probably.

(Episode 7)

This is so frustrating.

A month? Is Young Chae playing hard to get?

Something like that.

That little brat...

Is she with that bum model again?

Why?

Are you so set on her marrying Jin Se Hoon?

Especially when she's in love with someone else?

Shut it.

Our families' futures are at stake. Even if Young Chae messes around,

you should be the one to stop her. That's your job as her big brother!

By the way...

You were with Jin Se Hoon last night, right?

Yes. Why do you ask?

Well, around the same time, I was on the phone with Young Chae,

and she told me she was with Jin Se Hoon too.

She can be stubborn. But she's not the type to lie.

And she didn't show up at the wedding shop,

so I have a really bad feeling about this.

Just give Young Chae some time.

Why does she need time?

Do you know how much I've invested in Kunhyang...

to make this marriage happen?

When you invest, you don't stall. You collect on it right away.

That's how you do business.

Don't treat it like a business deal. Let the two figure it out.

Young Chae has the upper hand. Se Hoon is way more into her.

You won't find another girl out there like our Young Chae.

You think Jin Se Hoon is any exception?

But why do I feel like that brat is trying to avoid me?

Hold on a minute.

Yes.

I need to put someone on the Kunhyang family.

Han Hye Ra and Jin Se Hoon.

Right now.

If you're going to tail someone, it should be Young Chae.

Forget it. She knows all my tricks.

She's as slippery as an eel. It's no use.

Should we get a new bed?

The one in our room is perfectly fine.

About our son and Young Chae.

Will they live with us or on their own?

Of course, they'll live with us.

They're the heirs to Kunhyang, after all.

Young Chae's condo is actually pretty nice.

I'm sure they'll want to live alone for the first few years.

So that's what this is about.

You're picking a bed for their place?

Whether it's for their place or for our place,

instead of a king-sized bed,

I thought a queen-sized bed might be better.

Does the size really matter?

A twin would probably feel spacious enough for them.

Brings back memories.

You're so naughty.

You know, we should change our bed to a queen... No,

a full.

I still feel like we're on our honeymoon.

I guess you don't feel the same way?

Of course I do.

I'm happier now than when we were first married.

That young woman over there...

That's Joo Young Chae, isn't it?

Looks like our son is finally making his move.

I never knew he had that side to him.

He is your son. Where else would he get it from?

Vice Chairman Han. I mean, honey.

About that bed. Let's consider changing it.

Gosh, honey.

You said to date for a month, so why leave me at the wedding shop?

- I wasn't running away from you. - Chairman Gong?

You know how she is.

She just plows ahead without caring what I think.

So then,

you haven't dumped me yet, right?

You've never been dumped before, have you, Se Hoon?

- Maybe it's about time you were. - You would regret that a lot.

- I'll take my chances. - Jumping to conclusions already?

I have a question.

Yes or no.

- You have only two choices. - What is this, a deposition?

Go on. Ask me.

You like me, don't you?

- Do I really have to say it? - Yes or no.

- Fine, then don't. - Okay, yes!

What if I wasn't really Joo Young Chae?

Are you her long-lost twin?

You're asking if I would still like you...

if you weren't Chairman Gong's daughter?

First, Ha Neul, and now you.

Why do you both ask such pointless questions?

You mean CEO Joo Ha Neul?

My brother?

If it weren't for Chairman Gong, we'd never have a blind date,

much less marry.

Why is everyone so idealistic, all of a sudden?

So, is that a yes or a no?

Yes.

Joo Young Chae or not, it doesn't matter to me.

I can't stop thinking about you.

Whether I'm with you or not.

So you really do like me.

Maybe I should take out a billboard.

"Se Hoon loves Young Chae."

How about you and I go out tomorrow...

as a future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Who is it?

A guy?

Someone better.

You know how men bond by going to the sauna together?

We can get to know one another here.

Please, no need to be so formal.

Should I?

Yes, Vice Chairman.

Can't you call me something else? Something a bit friendlier?

- Madam? - No, that still feels too distant.

How about "Future Mother-in-law?"

I guess we can't drop the "future" part yet, can we?

Not just yet.

"In-law."

- It has a certain distance to it. - Then...

Mother-to-be?

"Mother-to-be." I like that.

If you're ever in a bind, just call me, "Mother."

Yes, Mother.

Oh, sorry.

That's much better.

(Ahn Ji Na)

She's driving me crazy. Why is she tormenting me?

Ahn Ji Na is seriously obsessive.

No wonder my brother was so over her.

Oh, Se Mi, you're here already. What a good girl.

I'm just playing nice because you said you'd buy me new stuff.

Hey, Young Chae.

Not going to say hi back? Don't make me pout.

Oh, Se Mi. It's been a while.

It's not like I was dying to see you or anything.

You should support your brother. You're not her sister-in-law yet.

What? Did my brother get shot down?

Se Mi.

Looks like Jin Se Hoon has met his match.

- It's not like that. - I meant it as a compliment.

I'm not a big fan of pushovers.

Your brother is struggling right now.

It's probably his first real test. He's never been turned down before.

Well, that's his problem, not mine.

Manager Kim? Pick styles for my son's fiancee.

Let's see a few options.

Yes, of course! I'll bring them right out, Vice Chairman.

Why is Cha Jung Won meeting Han Hye Ra and her daughter?

That brat, Young Chae. Is she up to something again?

Cha Jung Won. Where have I heard that name before?

- Manager Gu. - Yes, ma'am?

This girl, Cha Jung Won.

Dig up everything you can on her, down to every last detail.

Why? You know her?

I'll report to you once I'm certain.

All right, get to it.

Here you go. The one you had your eye on.

"Had my eye on?"

Did you come here by yourself?

We live nearby. I was just passing by.

I'll admit, it's absolutely beautiful.

I'm telling you, it was made for you.

How much is it?

- It's... - Sir.

Let's go with this one.

Sir, this one isn't 1 carat. It's only 0.1 carats.

Simple is best. It's comfortable for everyday wear.

A woman deserves at least half a carat.

Then go find a man who'll buy you a half-carat ring.

So, this one would be the 0.1-carat...

- Half-carat for me, 0.3 for him. - Jo Mi Hyang!

I have my own money.

I'll buy diamond rings for you.

Where did she hide that bankbook?

Just leave it!

I'm going to live a long life, so just leave it alone.

She's driving me crazy.

Jung Won, are you sure you'll be okay?

What if you get caught?

Joo Young Chae will be back in a week.

That Joo Young Chae is something else.

Fine, so she's eloping or whatever.

But if you get caught impersonating Joo Young Chae...

And putting a one-month time limit on it is so annoying.

She should just stay away for good.

Manager, how can you say that?

Why not?

For you, it's like living like a princess in a castle...

and losing it all overnight.

I can finally breathe.

Thanks to you, Manager.

What did I do?

All those thoughts I kept bottled up inside.

You said them all out loud for me.

If you just keep bottling it up,

it'll all explode at once.

It'll be over soon.

Being Joo Young Chae on a limited time...

isn't so bad either.

I'm ridiculous, aren't I?

You're just like Cinderella...

turning back to rags at the stroke of midnight.

Oh, Jung Won, you poor thing.

(CEO Joo Ha Neul)

I'm sure you were surprised I asked you to come over so late.

Not at all, ma'am.

You must've been upset at the shop. I apologize for yesterday.

Not at all. Too many prying eyes around.

I heard my daughter, Young Chae, is giving you a hard time,

so I invited you over to offer some comfort and encouragement.

I wouldn't say she's giving me a hard time.

It's more so that I'm the one who's worried sick.

Here, have a drink.

Here.

All right.

Please take your time.

Gosh, that hits the spot!

(Chairman Gong Nan Sook)

You said it was urgent, so I rushed right over.

I'm completely out of breath.

You call this being out of breath?

Before Young Chae gets back,

I didn't want this to get out,

but my mother will find out soon.

So be prepared.

Our vice chairman...

Actually, my mother is closer to Young Chae than she is to me.

Did you have her followed?

There was no need for that.

Don't get me wrong. Young Chae keeps avoiding me.

I just wanted to see if the wedding plans were going well,

just to check in.

I've called them all off now, okay?

My mother says the Kunhyang family is getting a great daughter-in-law,

and she is thrilled, saying it's thanks to you, Chairman Gong.

That's a relief.

Regardless of your intentions,

you need to be more careful from now on.

Our family isn't exactly ordinary, is it?

If you have questions,

it would be much better for you to ask us directly,

Chairman Gong Nan Sook.

All right.

Gosh, it was only that one time.

This is between...

a future mother-in-law and her future son-in-law.

Let's just keep it our little secret.

Okay?

Okay, good.

Cha Jung Won. That witch was posing as Young Chae, my daughter?

I could tear her to shreds.

Well then, cheers.

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the tone.

(Victoria)

Young Chae.

I think your mom is about to find out about me.

What am I going to do?

Can't I just keep being you?

Can't you just stay away for good?

Mother?

Mother?

You're actually quite pretty up close.

Not as pretty as my Young Chae, of course.

You scheming little witch.

I knew from the start you were a viper.

Let's see you endure this!

You vicious thing.

You'd rather die than apologize, wouldn't you?

Who on earth are you?

Are you even really Young Chae's friend?

How long has this been going on?

Young Chae doesn't come home either, does she?

Where is she?

I asked you, where is Young Chae?

Young Chae isn't here right now.

She's not here?

Don't tell me...

Did you do something to her?

Did you hurt Young Chae to become Kunhyang's new daughter-in-law?

No, I would never do that.

I would never dream of hurting my friend.

Then why isn't she home?

She won't answer my calls,

and if she does, she just spouts nonsense.

She's in Paris.

Paris?

Did she run off with that good-for-nothing model?

Yes, she did.

But Young Chae is coming back soon.

What do you mean, "soon?" When?

I don't know for sure.

But that's what she told me.

When she left three weeks ago,

she asked me to buy her a month,

and said she'd come back to sort things out with you herself.

Until then,

she begged me to pretend I was the one marrying Jin Se Hoon.

Bring Young Chae to me!

Now!

- Is Chilean wine okay? - Yes, I drink that brand sometimes.

Aren't you the attentive son today?

I know you've been taking special care of Young Chae.

Thank you for that.

I should be thanking you.

For falling for the woman I had my heart set on.

I think Young Chae likes you more than she likes me.

Thanks to you, we'll reach the altar without a hitch.

Things will unfold as they should.

Son, just try not to let on how eager you are.

- Is it that obvious? - Everyone sees it but you.

To my son's one true love.

Cheers.

This won't do. Let's go to the Kunhyang estate right now.

You will go and tell them yourself that you're not Young Chae.

Let's go!

What do you think you're doing?

And what if I reveal that I'm an impostor?

Are you ready for Jin Se Hoon and Young Chae's wedding to be off?

Chairman Gong set up the heir of Kunhyang Group...

on a blind date with an imposter.

Will you be okay with the world finding that out?

Until Young Chae can sort this out herself,

you need me too, Chairman Gong.

When Young Chae comes back,

I'll put everything back to where it belongs.

So until then,

please let me live as Young Chae.

Fine, forget that brat Young Chae who left you here in her place.

But what about you?

What on earth are you thinking?

Why go to such lengths to pretend to be Young Chae?

I don't care if I'm just a fake.

I just want to live as her, even for a moment.

I suppose it's because I've never had a life like hers.

But what happens if you start to want it for real?

What if you start wanting to be the real Young Chae?

What will you do then?

Just because I want something, doesn't mean I can have it.

Between Young Chae and you,

what chance does someone like me stand?

(A Graceful Liar)

Jung Won, what am I going to do?

Park Kyung Shin cheated on me and left me for her.

Does Young Chae, that brat, think she can get away...

with lying to the Kunhyang family?

My mom is going to kill me.

Me and Park Kyung Shin both.

When Young Chae returns, what will happen you, Jung Won?

The show will be over, and it'll be time...

for me to leave the stage.

It's me, Han Young Sun.

Mi Hyang, where's Su A?
