(Episode 8)

She's here.

I'm sorry for making you wait.

Sit down.

I'm Park Soo Ran's guardian.

How is she doing?

Thank goodness.

Yes. I'll be there in an hour.

I went to France often before I got married,

and I used to eat this often in Honfleur.

Try it.

Do I eat it like conch?

"Conch"?

How do you eat that?

You stab the meat with a toothpick and pull it out like this.

If you like the sauce, dip the baguette in it.

Dip bread in the snail broth?

It's delicious.

You should eat. You said you liked it.

Eat up. Enjoy.

I think I'll get my appetite back...

if I saw you enjoying it.

I want to try eating anything,

but at home,

people stare at me anxiously...

to see what and how much I eat.

I can't stand it.

My grandfather had a hunting dog that he liked.

He took that dog,

but that dog...

barely escaped after getting attacked by a boar.

It was all bloody.

It was terrifying.

Before putting it down,

my grandfather...

gave him his favorite treat.

Even in that state,

that dog chewed it up and ate it.

"This dog will live."

That's what my grandfather said.

That dog...

has a limp, but it's still alive.

The ability to eat...

is incredible, isn't it?

May I take these to go?

About my sister you met last time.

She's an aspiring model.

She went on a diet and starved herself for a month,

and almost became anorexic.

The family was in a state of emergency because of her.

We had to feed her something,

so I dragged her here.

You are going up on a tram,

but my sister walked up.

I said I'd pay for her perm,

so she clenched her fists...

and crawled her way up even when she was tired.

If I had said I'd buy her a bag,

she would've gone up while doing a headstand.

Anyway, when we got back down,

she ate noodles, rice, dumplings...

all in one sitting.

They're quiet today.

- Sorry? - Chul Soo and Gang Hee.

This is around the time...

they'd get hungry and crawl out of bed and come here,

asking for chicken.

You're right.

- Hong Gang Hee? - Yes?

Your sense of fashion...

and your walk clearly stands out.

You must like to stand out.

I hear that often, since I tend to draw attention.

For a designer,

a model like you is very...

distasteful. Don't you know that?

Sorry?

Their pieces, which should be noticed,

will be overshadowed by the model's cheap and exaggerated movements.

If you want to stand out so badly,

give up on the runway...

and look elsewhere.

(Resume: Hong Chul Soo)

What kind of a company do you want to work for?

A company I can work for a very long time.

One that abides by the minimum wage law.

We have a few openings.

They receive benefits for paying the minimum wage,

so this company will be a safe place to work.

However, I'm sorry,

but it'll be difficult with your resume.

Why don't you get occupation training provided by the government?

Occupation training?

Yes. You should receive training...

and build on your skills.

How many days...

does that training last?

They span from six months to a year.

What? Why... Why does it take so long?

Am I that inadequate?

We have a lot,

so Mr. Lee could eat with us too.

Mr. Lee, come eat with us.

Here.

She'll lose her appetite if there's anyone who doesn't eat.

Thank you.

Did you know?

The most delicious food...

is what you eat after exercising...

and what you eat as snacks.

You're right.

It tasted like rubber at the hotel.

Take bigger bites. Like this.

Conches and snails are not much different.

(Goyang Mental Hospital)

Luckily, she's stable now.

Must you keep her in a straight jacket?

We'll remove it as soon as she's completely calm.

Please.

Here are her test results.

Her vitals and organ performance...

are seriously impaired.

As her condition worsens,

her cognitive functions are returning less frequently.

Every time her cognitive functions return,

the memory of losing her husband and child...

drives her into extreme anxiety.

Every time she remembers her horrific experience,

she will keep trying to hurt herself or commit suicide.

If you'd agree,

I recommend a treatment...

that erases those horrific memories.

You can erase...

the past?

The treatment uses N-Acetylcysteine to increase dopamine production...

and weaken frightening memories.

(N-Acetylcysteine is a medication that increases dopamine production.)

I consent...

to the treatment.

Get back safely.

(Miteum Mental Hospital)

(Se Yun)

Where are you?

Did you wait long?

I got to read a magazine while waiting, so it's all good.

- Mom. - Yes?

I'm sorry about earlier.

You must've been shocked...

because I dragged you out out of the blue.

Whom did you see today?

You said you had an important appointment.

A VVIP of our shop.

Is it okay for you to meet a customer...

on a personal level?

It wasn't personal. It was sort of like...

client management.

"Client management"?

It doesn't happen often, but it does happen occasionally.

It's a special treatment for designer brand customers.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Tomorrow is an extremely important day.

It's our shop's VIP Day.

What about Sunday?

I plan to go to the bathhouse, the market,

make scallion pancakes, and play with you.

Mom. But...

why are you suddenly telling me to study abroad?

You're turning 30 this year.

I've been looking into it.

I don't think we should wait any longer.

Mom. It isn't too late for me yet.

Don't worry.

I'll become a designer for sure.

That's right. You will,

whether you're 40 or 50. So...

go study abroad.

Se Yun, I'm not just saying this.

Stop worrying about supporting the family, and...

Mom, let's eat.

- Se Yun. - I'm...

hungry. Please?

Can't you eat with me?

It was hard for me to get out of work.

I need to get back quickly.

- Bye. - Okay. Bye.

(Start your future before it's too late!)

(Start your future before it's too late!)

Infuriating things happen all the time in life.

Just ignore it, and let it go.

If your skin gets ruined from the stress,

nothing will revive it.

So that's why my poor sister looks like this.

Seriously. Everything you say and do is hateful. Hateful!

Soon Hee.

Crispy-fried chicken and soju please.

- Hi. - Hey.

Am I your vending machine for alcohol?

At least a vending machine would get paid.

You annoying brats.

What got into you today?

Why are you in a suit?

Nothing but hot air.

And now, I'm completely deflated.

That's so bitter.

Do you want spicy chicken too?

Yes. You're the best.

Hey. What happened to your blind date? Why are you moping here?

He doesn't like me because I'm too loud.

- What? You're loud? - Yes.

That jerk.

I should punch his lights out.

He says I'm cheap, and that...

it's distasteful how I try so hard to stand out all the time.

Isn't that jerk a real scumbag?

If a man is too honest,

you'll just be hurt while you date.

It's true. You're annoying because you are a loud brat.

But still, how could that jerk...

criticize you when he first met you?

What?

Are you dissing me while pretending to comfort me?

Hey. Don't twist my words around. You always...

Forget it. I should be understanding.

When someone is in a bad mood, even love songs sound like curses.

You're the one who was being mean.

That's enough!

I'm not in the mood to diss you right now!

Why? What happened today?

I tried to get a job, and I was treated like an incompetent fool.

Didn't you go to a friend's wedding?

What could you possibly do...

at someone else's wedding?

What? Well... You know... Giving stuff out.

The meal card. Yes, giving out meal cards.

How competent do you have to be to give out meal cards?

I guess an unemployed man with no license but a driver's license...

shouldn't do that either.

Chul Soo! Disown that friend!

You were nice enough to help.

Why is he judging whether or not you're competent? How annoying.

Don't talk about my friend that way.

Even if you're so big a loser and ugly...

that he's ashamed to say you're his friend,

- how could he... - Hey! Gang Hee!

- What, Chul Soo? - I wasn't joking.

- Let go! - Let go!

Why are you hitting your little sister?

That hurts. Let go. I'm serious.

What are you doing in my place of business?

This runt keeps annoying me!

He started it!

Do you like pinching your little sister?

- Get out! - That hurts!

Fight outside, you brats!

I suddenly received the call...

while I was heading home.

How was Gyung Hye's mom?

She's stable now.

Is Gyung Hye taking her medicine diligently?

She stopped...

taking her meds.

She refuses to rely on drugs...

and wants to defeat this by her own will.

She was strong.

She isn't taking her medication?

If you stop her medication...

without her doctor's orders,

she will suffer severe withdrawal.

Sir. Ms. Gyung Hye...

has changed a lot.

Call in Mr. Lee.

Yes, sir.

(How to Treat Shopping Addictions)

I hear Gyung Hye isn't taking her meds.

She is refusing to take her medication.

She has no desire to improve.

What's the point of this?

She is unfamiliar with how to work with people.

She changes personal assistants almost daily.

It'll be the same even if you give her a shopping aide.

I heard she went out today.

Did she go shopping again?

She did not go shopping.

She ate outside.

What?

She didn't go shopping, but she went outside to eat?

Where is this?

She went for a walk in Sangam-dong.

She broke a sweat...

and was in a good mood as she enjoyed her lunch.

She did? Really?

She's making an effort.

That's right.

She did seem different...

even at the breakfast table.

She will get better.

Who is this woman sitting with her?

She's an employee at the shop in Cheongdam-dong.

A shop worker?

What was Gyung Hye doing with a shop worker?

She's the person who helped during the incident at the hotel.

Tell me more about her.

Her name is Hong Se Yun.

You seem to be in a good mood.

Did you want to see me?

I want abalone porridge for breakfast tomorrow.

Okay. May I grind up some octopus...

and add it to the porridge?

Octopus...

You may go.

"Abalone porridge"?

Don't try too hard to act normal.

It finally started.

Gyung Hye's pit of fire that you mentioned.

Wait and see.

Gyung Hye will be quite a sight now.

Let go!

Once spiroton is suddenly cut off,

the patient will involuntarily blurt out...

inappropriate words or curses and develop vocal tics.

If deprived for an extended period of time,

the sudden withdrawal...

causes the possibility of developing vocal tics...

to increase four times higher compared to normal patients.

In order to prevent such side effects...

Gyung Hye.

This is my shackle that I put on you.

If you try to remove it,

you'll feel excruciating pain as it pierces your skin.

Once you experience the pit of fire,

you'll have no choice but to take the meds again.

Se Yun. Here.

I have a very important event today.

I'll wear the uniform that you ironed for me...

and work super hard.

Okay. But don't work too hard.

- See you later. - Watch out for cars.

- Bye. - Okay.

That's right.

Sorry, but there is a private event today.

You cannot enter without an invitation.

- What is this? - Let's go.

I hope that woman, Eun Gyung Hye,

just shops quietly today.

From what I saw when I ate with her,

she doesn't seem to be that bad a person.

Seriously. You think everyone is like you.

The world is beautiful...

and everyone is kind in your eyes, right?

- What? - What is it?

My blouse is missing.

My dad must have forgotten it.

Here.

What about you?

I got a new, bigger blouse.

Since I've been eating away my stress,

the buttons won't close.

Thank you.

Let's clean.

Oh, no. This...

This is bad.

- The person you have reached... - Darn it.

Are you going to the event?

Mr. Lee went straight there from the office.

He should arrive...

around the same time.

Okay.

Enjoy yourself. Be safe.

(VIP Fashion Styling Class)

I heard something huge happened here...

not too long ago.

You did? What could it be?

How could something huge happen...

without my knowing, ma'am?

- Who is Hong Se Yun? - Pardon?

I heard that personal shopper and a VIP...

put up a fight.

That is not true.

That's what we heard.

The VIP cut up the clothes,

and the personal shopper hit her.

Ma'am. That is utterly absurd.

Rumor has it...

the VIP was Winners' Group's madam.

My gosh. Seriously.

People start groundless rumors.

She is coming today.

- She is? - Really?

It must be a false rumor.

In addition, Ms. Hong is her personal shopper.

Se Yun.

- Yes? - Wait out front.

Ms. Eun Gyung Hye will be here soon. You should greet her.

Please make a right up ahead.

- Ma'am! - Oh, dear.

Gosh.

Are you all right?

Get lost.

I'm terribly sorry about that.

I must have upset you. Please don't be.

You idiot.

Get lost.

(Mysterious Personal Shopper)

I'm sorry to report, but Gyung Hye caused trouble again.

- What? - What's wrong with me?

What is wrong with me?

You and Ms. Gyung Hye must never meet again.

People who think they have the right to mistreat others are the worst.

It's like a family tradition.

If you displease the chairman, you get kicked out.

Se Yun, answer me. You'll go study abroad, right?
