Everyone...

I'm... I'm...

not Lee So Jin.

My real name is Lee So Yeong.

And also, my age is not 25 years old,

but 34 years old.

To those who believed until now,

that I am Lee So Jin, I owe you all an apology.

Although, whatever I say now looks like I'm making excuses,

I really did not want to lie from the beginning.

I was fired from the fabric company where I worked for 14 years.

No one would

give an opportunity to someone with only a high school diploma.

So, to be able to work part-time,

I was forced to conceal my age.

But...

But, I was given a...

chance to be a fashion designer, which is a fantastic opportunity.

I know this is inexcusable.

Until the clothes I designed were finished,

and displayed in stores, until then...

I wanted to keep that dream alive.

Today the clothing I designed is finally displayed in stores.

Yet I was not happy and also unable to feel true joy,

because I deceived people who believed in me and helped me.

I deceived myself as well to achieve these results.

Yet, I know very clearly, that whatever I say is inexcusable.

I will accept full responsibility for telling these lies.

I truly have a sense of shame and...

can you forgive me?

If given another opportunity,

I truly want to be a fashion designer.

I'm really sorry.

I'm very sorry to everybody.

An unpredictable situation has occurred.

We will proceed with the next segment.

In order to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the founding of our company,

we have a string performance by a trio of beautiful women.

Please welcome them with a round of applause.

Miss Lee So Jin, Design Group 1 designer.

My age is 34 years old.

Don't you know your own year of birth?

That is... 86, no... 87.

Design Group 1 Miss Lee So Yeong, Miss Lee So Yeong.

If you happen to meet my mother,

you must not say my name in front of her.

For what has happened, I'm really sorry.

What?

Yes, right.

You said that the clothes you designed are already in stores today, right?

Yes, that's right.

Because of this wish, you deceived everyone in order to produce those designs.

After seeing them, what are your feelings?

That is what you said, right?

I can understand that feeling.

But is there a reason not to let you be a designer?

Your dream of becoming a designer, that's not your fault.

You have chosen the wrong method to become a designer.

You have sewed the wrong button.

Mom, where do you want to go?

Let go of me!

Mom!

I'm very sorry for this period of time.

Miss Lee So Jin. That is...

it should be Miss Lee So Yeong.

The last time, you said to me...

that you do not have the qualification nor the ability to be responsible.

But, you wish to do the best of what you can do.

Isn't this what you're saying?

Exactly why did you want to do such a thing?

You are originally this selfish person, right?

I'm very sorry, president.

But, I also ask you,

if from the beginning I had told you I was 34-years-old would

the President have hired me?

A 34-year-old with only a high school education,

and furthermore, with poor credit.

Would you have hired me?

- Hyeon Yi, Dad is now.... - Dad, So Jin ajumma didn't answer her phone.

Dad, can't you give ajumma a call?

From now on, you don't have that ajumma anymore.

Dad is very busy now.

I will call you back in a moment.

You asked me if I would hire a 34-year-old high school graduate or not.

Miss Lee So Yeong is correct.

I wouldn't hire you.

But I would also not suspect your personal character as I am now.

Hey.

Eonni, where are you? (Eonni - Older sister)

I'm really sorry, Team Leader!

But please don't... absolutely don't press any fraud charges.

What are you doing? Don't be like this.

Our So Yeong is not that kind of person.

It's all because she has such a useless parent.

She's never eaten good food, or been able to learn a lot, that's why...

So you might as well punish me.

Mom, enough already.

Please, I beg you.

Just forgive my child this once.

I beg you.

Mom, what are you doing here? Let's go back home.

You should also seek forgiveness. Beg her to forgive you.

Mom, you must not be like this!

Quickly do it!

I understand how you feel.

But being like this with me is of no use.

This matter will be decided by the arbitration committee members.

What?

Please quickly send your mother back, okay?

Mom, let's go!

I'm sorry to have disturbed you.

Miss Lee So Yeong,

you're really shameless, aren't you?

Give you another opportunity?

A 34-year-old high school graduate?

No one's given you an opportunity, that's why you lied?

Yes, this is the reality.

Founding Anniversary Day, in front of all the invited guests.

What is this disgraceful matter?

Director Baek, you won't shield the temporary workers any more, right?

I heard that Director Beak even recommended her as formal staff.

Need I say any more?

Just follow through according to procedures. This is a fraud.

To prove that this is a fraud,

we must show that the employee caused the company to suffer losses.

If it's an obstruction of business crime, we will be able to prosecute immediately.

Regarding this incident, I felt that it's very regrettable.

And it's also an opportunity to test our company's method of operations.

But...

I don't wish to make a big issue out of this incident.

So... you mean, we'll just forget about it?

I've decided to immediately dismiss Design Group 1's Miss Lee So Yeong.

And just settle the matter peacefully and quietly.

President.

As the department head of Lee So Yeong's design group,

I have something to say.

Firstly, as the Team Leader, I am responsible.

Regarding my negligence, no matter that is the punishment, I will gladly accept.

Regarding Miss Lee So Yeong's fraud case, I request everyone to reconsider.

Concealing her true age to gain employment is clearly wrong.

However, although Miss Lee So Yeong was just a contract worker,

she was selected as the month's most outstanding employee.

And if this matter is openly announced to the public,

it won't have any benefit to the company either.

So, I ask everyone to carefully reconsider this issue.

Hey, then that time's drunken incident, saying she was 34 years old...

That was really her true declaration of conscience!

Hey, our maknae is really amazing! (maknae-youngest)

You're still calling her Maknae?

I have goose bumps!

Wow, my big sister is 5 years older than me!

During this period of time, how did she bear to be so respectful to us?

So that's why this woman is so frightening.

Perhaps, there are also people amongst us who conceal their age to work.

Everyone take out their identity card, starting with Agent Jung.

That was just a joke!

But, does President know that our little sister is 34 years old?

No, if he knows...

He wouldn't be so crazy about ajumma...

Not really an ajumma either.

What's with him?

There is such a thing, just eat your food.

Cannot be, right?

Say it!

Say that you're not lying.

That you didn't lie to everybody.

Hurry up and say it.

Hey, can I see your identity card for a bit?

How can it be like this?

Not just to other people, but also to me?

Not just for a day or two.

Not just for a week.

How could you have deceived me all these months?

Hey, was it fun?

For someone much younger than you.

Who let you call him Oppa and said that he likes you?

Did you really have fun all this time?

That... That just leave it that way.

Anyway, it was me who didn't see it.

Just take it as I am a fool.

But, do you know what I can't tolerate the most?

Last time, you and the flower bottle accident that time.

What did you say?

Didn't you say, to believe in people you must just believe till the end?

At the police station, getting your identity card! That time also!

Now that I think about it, more than one or two things were strange.

But not once did I make the connection and suspect you.

Other people suspected your age at that time.

I have always believed in you.

I believed that you were 25 year old Lee So Jin.

I believed every single thing you said.

Believed everything!

Because you would not lie.

The Lee So Jin, who couldn't tell a lie.

Because she's a person I believed in.

Even if I can understand that you lied because of the situation.

That period of time has so many memories.

At least, you should have been honest with me, right?

What I am to you is just this kind of fellow, is it?

No.

It's not really like that.

So what is it?

I also wanted to tell you.

Ever since you told me you like me,

I have wanted to be honest with you.

But, I was afraid.

Should I be honest?

I didn't know what you would think of me.

To be honest, I was most afraid to tell you.

Of all the people in the world, I was most afraid to tell you.

Because I like you.

It's all my fault.

No matter what I say now,

everything seems to be just like making excuses.

But I really want my age back.

I really want to say that I'm 34 years old.

It's the truth.

I'm sorry.

I don't know, I don't know.

What do you say? About things that you've done before?

I really do not believe.

In fact, of the things you're saying right now,

what exactly is true?

I really don't know.

You said that you are 34 years old, right?

Today, I really can't tell.

I'll tell you when we meet again.

I will surely obey the regulation.

But, looking at your face.

I really don't know how to obey the regulation.

I am leaving.

I heard both of you planned this matter.

You both did it behind my back, didn't you?

Go die.

Let the three of us find a place to die.

Let's jump into the Han River and drown.

Or get into a fatal accident.

Quickly get up, get up.

Mom.

Jump into the Han River and drown!

Or get into a fatal accident. Come!

No, we better go to the roof and jump off, okay? Let's go.

Or just die here and end the matter.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Mom, I was wrong. Mom.

What? You were wrong? You were wrong?

Did wrong?

How can you do this to me?

How can you do this to me?

How can you do this to me?

Mom, please calm down.

Is this how I raised you all?

Is this how I raised you all?

I... I just wanted to work, Mom.

I want to be a designer.

What? Designer?

Mom, mom, mom.

Mom, Mom, Mom, please.

This will not do, Mom.

Move aside.

I beg you, you can't.

Move aside. As long as this exists,

you still won't wake up. Give it here.

No, Mom.

I only have this.

I can't live without it.

You are really crazy.

Were you happy, hiding your age?

What? A designer?

Were you so happy you could die?

Mom.

No, I want you to come to your senses.

So this must be thrown away first.

Let go! Let go!

Mom, what are you going to do?

Why did I have to lie to find a job?

Mom, you really don't know why?

If I'm idling at home,

Mother, you will let me continue this work, right?

What? What exactly do you want to say?

Are you saying, I am the one forcing you?

Mother, do you have the qualification to treat me like this?

Do you know what I'm thinking,

or what my dream is?

Did you even once

ask me if I have any dreams?

I've worked so hard, so hard until I could die.

But I've grown older now.

Mom, have you ever told me "You've worked hard"?

Just once would be good.

Have you sincerely cared about me?

Are you still my daughter?

This is what I want to ask you.

Am I really your daughter?

What?

Mom, do you really think of me as your daughter?

Honestly,

you're always a mother

only to So Jin!

Be it tired or hungry,

both persons need love.

Sorry, So Yeong.

Sorry, So Jin.

Coffee shop?

You're saying, more than thirty minutes.

Or ninety minutes!

Coffee? Black coffee for me.

Yes, and another black.

Just because you said you were blurred.

That's why you constantly make mistakes!

Oppa, let me take a look at the magazine, ok?

Hello, it's me. I just called you.

I'm calling because of purchase order SJ11057.

I need 5000 pieces. Will you be able to have them by next Monday?

Great! You've worked hard.

Wow! The jacket is a big hit then!

It's been only one week and it's already sold out!

If maknae knew about this,

she would be extremely happy.

What? Hey, you're not coming?

Hey, stop there for me!

Once hear about franchise fee immediately oppose,

I think this is wrong.

We buy brand name.

Not only buy its name,

but also its' distribution structure and marketing experience.

I clearly understand what Director Hyeon means.

But this is not only just about the franchise fee issue.

Our The Style outdoor clothing.

is our company's top and most important brand.

Since the situation is not so optimistic now, just scrap it.

I feel that this isn't the right thing to do.

Even if you buy that brand,

isn't the 80% being produced by us?

If that is the case...

We might as well invest more.

Raise our competitive advantage.

In the long run, this is value for money.

Self-competitiveness?

Look at the results of the design team.

This kind of clothing, what kind of competitive advantage can there be?

I have already been in consultation with that company's brand.

Many shareholders also feel the same way.

If president will now agree.

I'll just take it that this matter is settled.

Wait a minute.

Just give me two weeks, okay?

In two weeks I'll show you all.

The growth of The Style's outdoor clothing section.

Then Director Hyeon and I will compete!

Director Hyeon.

You just prepare that brand and style of clothing.

I will do it according to my style.

Produce something that can contribute to growth of The Style outdoor clothing line.

Director Baek.

Why must I play this game with Director Baek?

If I lose, I will leave this company.

But if I win.

Then, don't mention about buying whatever brand issue anymore.

Competition conditions are also good. Everything is also good.

Everything will be done in accordance with how Director Hyeon wants it to be.

Why do you want to get involved in this venture?

If not let me do it, have a meal with Director Hyun.

What's wrong? Do you think that I'll lose?

Teacher!

I have a sewing machine and thirty years of experience.

From your point of view,

Can I possibly do the same thing everyday?

Every day, is a battle to me.

What must I do then, to become better?

How to have better texture?

But also, sometimes there will be time when I am distracted.

If you're like that, you'll have an accident.

If there is a bit of greed or lazyness,

the clothes will come out bad.

Clothes have always been very honest.

I feel that, the reason about this world is also the same.

Do not fail,

also can't just neglect.

Successful or unsuccessful.

I will do my very best.

I understand what teacher means.

Teacher, you must win!

Since I have made my decision, must definitely win!

Design Group 4 Recruitment.

To participate in The Style's outdoor clothing production,

you must have passion and aggressive abilities.

Design Group 4?

Who can produce something that will be a thorn in Director Hyeon's eye?

Now, our company's director authority is in Director Hyeon's hand, isn't it?

What if we don't have any candidates,

I've heard that will be transferred to the designer sent to China?

Everyone just wait, I heard that from our group one person will also transfer out.

Let me say first, I am with the luxury style brand.

Middle-Low class taste, I am unable to do it. You all should know, right?

All day long carrying high quality imitation bag, still dare to say?

This is the list of candidates for recruitment.

Lee So Yeong.

Hello, how do you do?

Is this Lee So Yeong's home?

Yes, that's right.

Is Lee So Yeong at home?

I am Lee So Yeong, who's calling?

I'm The Style's Director Baek.

Director Baek?

Aren't you from Design Group 1...

Yes, I am Lee So Yeong.

Hello.

You are that Lee So Yeong?

So that means, it's not the same name but the same person?

Our company announced open recruitment and Lee So Yeong was selected.

That's right.

But, what is it?

Nothing, carry on with what you are doing, okay?

Good.

Let's see. Is is better now or not?

Aigoo, look at this.

Already sagging, what to do?

Hello! Long time without contact.

How come you haven't called me in such a long time?

Stop talking about whether we contacted each other or not.

I heard your husband is getting married.

What? All this time,

haven't woken you up?

Can't you see I'm still alive?

Wife is here, alive and well.

How is my husband getting married?

Does that make any sense?

Did you know So Jeon is living in L.A? She saw them!

Your husband was with a very young girl.

They were selecting a wedding ring.

Both of them calling each other 'husband' and 'wife' so intimately.

What?

Said it was the 1st wedding anniversary.

Taxi! Taxi!

Open the trunk, quickly!

Ajussi, to L.A.!

What?

Ah, to Incheon Airport.

Who was the designer sent to China?

Is it Kim Jun Soo Team Leader?

Ah! Is that S the one with the famous background?

That person is also in our company?

I heard he was in China store's management group?

That is because, he has nowhere else to go.

If not, how come a Designer goes into the store management group?

Who is he?

Ah, Director Park doesn't know?

Someone has said, he's the legendary Kim Jun Soo.

If he is not Director Jung's nephew, he would be...

Why is it said he's a legend?

There are many kinds.

But still, after going to China it's still very quiet.

Agent Jung, you cannot just say such things.

What?

All matters in this world.

One's eye is unable to see.

One's ear unable to listen.

Also, cannot be so fast to draw a conclusion.

Hey, you... Your luggage!

Omo...

You seem to be quite busy. Hurry up, let's go.

Thank you!

Ajussi, going to Dou Shu Dong, Cross Street.

Wait! Wait! Your bags, bags!

How come there is such a forgetful person! What to do with the bags?

It is still just as noisy.

Lots of cars, lots of people.

Compared to whatever amazing magic, our very first...

What are you doing?

So early in the morning, why play this?

Listen to this. This is even better!

Wow, this kid really!

I really can't stand to see you anymore. What's wrong with you recently?

You're not kid but not yet an Ajussi. Really!!

Don't tell me it is because of Lee So Jin. No, it should be Lee So Yeong, Am I correct?

Aigoo, just leave me alone for a while, ok?

Aigoo, really!

Won't even let me sing a song.

Good morning, good morning.

Good morning.

What's wrong with everybody? Has something happened?

Ah, geez!

Why must it be me?

Wow, it's been a very long time since I've seen you, Jang Ki Hong.

Very nice to see you!

Ah, right.

Should I be calling you Chief Jang now?

I should come here yesterday, but...

Something happened at the airport.

In short, let's work well together.

Just find any place to sit.

But, Team Leader.

Regarding this time's competition, should we be preparing some plan?

This really does not make any sense!

Anyway, the matter remains unchanged that their group is most likely to win!

We are just their backup.

Ah, yes!

I have just heard about this matter,

and worry about the seriousness of the matter.

That's right? If you can think of this, I feel relieved.

Since Team leader has felt it, I will go straight to the point.

I have decided.

What?

You're really bold!

The sooner you decide the better!

If after working hard, everything still goes down the drain.

Might as well, from the very beginning just raise the white flag.

First of all, we have to change our unit name.

What?

Design Group 4... Don't you feel it's bad luck?

Even building standards do not like the fourth floor!

Why must we be Design Group 4?

Why?

Director Baek!

Just like this, only two persons?

That's right.

It's been a long time.

I am Design Group 5 Team Leader.

Design Group 5.

Teacher, I feel that I should first confess to Teacher.

So, I have written this letter.

Before saying thank you, I must first say sorry.

Actually, I am not the 25 year old Lee So Jin.

I am the 34 year old Lee So Yeong.

Teacher, since I came here you have been

the 1st person to give me the courage and wisdom to make clothes.

But using a fake name and age,

I felt as if I could not make authentic clothes.

So, I have decided to leave this company.

I will always be grateful to you.

I will always pray for your health and happiness. From Lee So Yeong.

Please do not talk about Lee So Yeong's matter anymore.

Do you know the selected candidate from the open announcement, is Lee So Yeong?

What?

And also remember that I wanted to formally appoint her as a regular staff.

This child, from the very beginning, has been destined to be one of the company's staff.

But Lee So Yeong does not have the qualifications to become formal staff.

Who recommended this child be hired as formal staff?

I was saying we must at least let her complete this. That's all I meant.

This... Wasn't it you who showed this to me?

Didn't you ask me to help write a letter of recommendation?

So, that's why I am now paying the price for it.

Sorry, Teacher.

Oppa!

Don't you have anything to say to me?

To be honest, during this period of time, I was really disappointed with Oppa.

Really?

I will just get straight to the point.

Let's get engaged, Oppa!

After Oppa got married, I studied abroad.

Then, had Hyeon Yi. These 10 years

I did not go anywhere. I only waited for Oppa.

Yun Seo.

It is not because I think you did wrong, so just compensate me.

Even now, I want you to give me an opportunity.

I have the confidence to be good to Hyeon Yi.

The cake here is delicious! Want to order one?

Hyeon Yi, this cake is really delicious!

Hyeon Yi, have a bite.

Don't want to.

I want to eat Deokboki (fried rice cakes).

Hyeon Yi!

Hyeon Yi wants to eat Deokboki... Shall Ajumma make it for you?

I do not want to eat Ajumma's Deokboki!

Hyeon Yi!

No need, Oppa, just stay here.

I'll go take a look.

Hyeon Yi.

Hyeon Yi, didn't you hear me?

I cannot hear you.

What are you doing?

Look at Ajumma.

Ajumma is your elder,

and will not just see you act in such a manner.

Apologize to Ajumma. Say, "I was wrong."

Why?

Didn't you drop the cake onto my body?

If you did something wrong, you should first say sorry.

That is courtesy.

You think that if you act like this, Lee So Jin Ajumma will come and coax you?

That Ajumma will not come here anymore.

She told your father a lie and was discovered.

So your father is very angry.

If you say you are thinking of that lying Ajumma,

your father will be even more angry!

I am different from Lee So Jin Ajumma.

I don't lie. If you did something wrong, I will say you did something wrong.

So apologize.

I am sorry.

Very good, very obedient!

I am going, Oppa.

Say goodbye to Hyeon Yi for me.

Ok, I know. Walk carefully.

Mmm...

Hyeon Yi.

Hyeon Yi, what's wrong?

Father... Is Father really angry with Lee So Jin Ajumma?

Do you really like that Ajumma so much?

I won't say anything.

If say I don't like her, father will say Hyeon Yi lied, and he will hate Hyeon Yi.

No.

Father knows our Hyeon Yi is a good child.

So even if Hyeon Yi tells a lie, I will not hate Hyeon Yi.

Really?

Then Father, you also must not hate Lee So Jin Ajumma just because she lied.

Ajumma is also a good person!

Wait a moment, wait a moment.

My dress, my dress!

Thank you!

Thank you. I'm sorry.

What to do?

There is no more stock to sell.

Last week, stock from another store was transferred over.

Those have also sold out.

Now, I am just waiting for the clothes to be available.

All the customers will come in and look at that vest

because it is gorgeous,

but end up buying this jacket.

The price is also very good.

Yes, Team Leader Baek.

That design sketch, I'll just leave it on the table.

Yes.

How do you do?

So Yeong...

Come here and sit down.

Until now, are you still very tired?

I thought you were able to understand.

Already over 20 years now.

Living had been tiring, you were sickly every day.

That's why I sent So Jin to Uncle.

But...

But So Jin thought that, being abandoned was even greater than being burnt.

She felt that I only cared about you, So Yeong.

Sorry, mother is really stupid.

Mother is so stupid that I've caused great hurt to both of you.

Drink up!

Mother also.

Last time you asked.

During graduation,

what was the feeling I had when I first bought new clothes for you?

Your class adviser said,

you had great design talent.

So she wanted me to send you to Art Design School.

As your mother,

I wasn't able to let you become a designer who makes beautiful clothes.

But to you...

I wanted you to wear beautiful clothes at least once.

Until now it has been hard on you, So Yeong.

So from now on, go and pursue your dream.

In the future, what you have to face is not just one or two matters.

In short, you don't have to worry about family issues.

Just do what you want to do, ok?

Mother.

What is this? Both of you having a party?

There's still soju!

Hey, you!

What you designed at The Style was sold at The Style store.

I could see at a glance that it is your design.

This jacket is so popular, all due to my hard work.

I asked all my friends to buy one.

Drink up!

It's very delicious!

-= Resume =-

Just like this, you decided on these two people?

Everyone form their own department to make the clothes.

Starting with one coat, shirt, and pants.

In total, there are three.

The one with the the highest evaluation score will be the winner.

Design Group 1, I'm looking forward to you all designing an outstanding, high-quality outdoor clothing brand.

Design Group 4.

President...

I am sorry.

It's Design Group 5.

Design Group 5 is using our original design concept,

highlighting the low-price style, and also coming up with some new directions in design.

I'm very sorry that I'm late.

In this competition,

joining and helping everyone for two weeks, is Designer Lee So Yeong.
