Cha Jong Hyun is a man of his words.

Please vote for him.

Candidate Cha Jong Hyun's daughter, Cha Soo Hyun...

She's become famous for being very beautiful.

She's as popular as a celebrity.

He won the election.

Cha Jong Hyun, the Mayor of Seoul, has just entered Seoul City Hall.

Cha Soo Hyun and CEO Jung Woo Suk's wedding...

Chairman Jung of Taekyung...

- They've become in-laws. - A politician and a businessman.

Soo Hyun is living as a conglomerate's daughter-in-law.

Soo Hyun is seeing off her father-in-law.

There have been many rumors about her and CEO Jung Woo Suk.

Their marriage ended in two years.

(Episode 1)

All the rooms are fully booked on the day of our opening.

We're doing great considering that it's off-season.

The consumers must've liked the fact that our facility and furniture...

are all of high-quality.

The view is top class.

Ms. Cha, you need to get going now.

(Donghwa Hotel Plans to Open in Sokcho)

(Donghwa Hotel Sokcho, the new center of relaxation)

How about we go take a break at a rest area?

Would you like to have a cup of tea?

If it's because of me, there's no need.

I don't want to see Secretary Jang trying not to yawn.

Ms. Cha, I'll go get a bottle of cold water.

How about ramyeon instead of water?

Pardon? Ramyeon, ma'am?

Why? Is that inappropriate?

Well...

Just like the sashimi restaurant debacle from last time,

it could become a hassle if your pictures get taken.

But if you insist, I'll accompany you.

It was a joke.

I'll stay here too.

It's all right. You can go.

Okay, ma'am.

Ramyeon is the best at rest areas though.

Ms. Cha, will you head to the hotel?

No, to the office.

These are the outfits from Hannam-dong.

Her taste in clothes never changes.

Still, the buttons this time are quite lovely.

How long do you reckon I'll have to do this?

Do you think it'll be like this even after I turn 60?

When you reach 60, Chairwoman Kim will be over 100.

All the great food in this world won't keep her healthy at that age.

That's what she likes.

What others find shocking is like a game to her.

Annoying is what I say.

That was rude of you, but refreshing to hear.

You never should've agreed to that clause.

Attending the birthday party of your former mother-in-law...

is absurd, even though it was part of the agreement.

If I didn't agree to it,

I never would've gotten a divorce.

That's true.

I thought it was over when Chairman Jung passed away,

but the witch of a mother-in-law took his place.

This is all a huge mess.

- Isn't that CEO Cha's vehicle? - It is!

- Look. - She's here!

- Get closer. - Take her photo!

- Come on. - CEO Cha!

- Over here. - Please look over here.

- Go after her. - Please!

A word, please!

Yes, thank you.

Happy birthday, ma'am.

Oh, you're here.

How's your father? Is he well?

Yes.

He must be busy as the representative of the party.

I suppose.

- Could you excuse me? - Sure.

The outfit looks good on you...

although the purse is a bit too much.

You're here.

It's nice to see you after all this time.

I doubt that's true between us.

When you asked for the hotel that was going under as alimony,

I thought you were an idiot.

Then I read an article about it becoming the best.

I hear you're opening a branch in Cuba.

Thanks.

Shouldn't you get married again?

Are you showing interest in me? I'm grateful.

Once she has a new daughter-in-law, she'll stop inviting me.

Actually, my mother will have you stand side by side.

You know how she is.

It's nothing to joke about, is it?

I'd rather you sort this out.

If I do, will you be happy to see me from now on?

You and your endless charms. Sour-faced as ever.

You begged for a divorce...

after meeting the woman of your dreams,

so what's all this nonsense?

Anyway, let's eat. She prepared quite a feast.

Get out of my way. You're making me uncomfortable.

Where in this house would be comfortable for you?

I'm just trying to be a friend.

("CEO Cha Soo Hyun Attends the Party Yet Again This Year")

Aren't you taking the Namsan Tunnel?

Tunnels are suffocating.

It'll only take a minute, but you'd rather go around it?

Mr. Nam, have you been to Namsan Seoul Tower?

I went there with Assemblyman Cha back in the day.

With my dad?

We were actually supposed to be at the library,

but he insisted that we go outside because it was stuffy.

I told him that we should study though.

They say it looks even better now. Have you ever been there?

- No. - They why not go there...

and get some fresh air?

No, I've had enough photos taken for one day.

Will the reporters still be around?

News travels faster on social media these days.

Can I pop the window?

The air is chilly tonight.

You're traveling far tomorrow, so it's best not to catch a cold.

What time's the flight?

The plane will take off at 9pm.

Isn't she beautiful?

Yes, it's so beautiful.

It's just an old garden.

This garden seems to have been loved by someone a long time ago.

It was a beautiful time.

All that was here.

Everything seems to be as it was.

It was so hard to keep it intact.

It was the garden of my wife.

The love began here and was completed here.

- A glass of coke, please. - Sure.

Thank you.

(Donghwa Hotel Concept and Design, Interior Design)

It's very dangerous to text while you're driving.

Excuse me...

Can you hang up...

I'm sorry, Ms. Cha. I was told the driver was fluent in English,

but I guess he can't speak a word!

We'll return with another driver after the event, right?

I'll check more thoroughly from now on.

Oh, my gosh!

Ms. Cha, are you okay?

Secretary Jang, don't you have an international driver's license?

No, I haven't obtained it yet.

- I think you should go talk to him. - Okay.

My camera's broken.

- Are you Korean? - Yes.

I'm so sorry. My driver made a mistake.

Are you hurt?

I think my camera is hurt.

I'm sorry.

If you tell me the model number, we'll compensate with a new one.

That's okay. You can go.

Please consider our position as well.

This may become complicated later, so give me your number.

We'll send you a new camera.

I received this as a gift when I was born.

It's impossible to buy memories, isn't it?

Well, we're truly sorry.

But we can't just go back like this.

Your camera seems old. Why don't you change it...

I think we're blocking the road.

I'm not hurt or anything, so you can just go.

Here is my business card.

If you tell me your name and number, I'll be in touch.

I'll call you at this number.

We need to move the car now.

Please give me a call.

Donghwa Hotel, partner company of Havana Hotel,

is the first Asian brand to expand to Central and South America.

And now, I present to you President Cha Soo Hyun.

It is very natural that you have chosen Donghwa as your partner...

to build the best hotel in Havana.

The reason is because we, at Donghwa, know that...

the historical beauty is the best value of Havana.

It is very exciting that...

we share this value.

- That was great. - Thank you, Mr. President.

Have you seen the sunset of Malecon Beach?

No, not yet.

That is something you should absolutely check out.

The color of the sunset is different every day.

I also proposed to my wife over there.

("The End of the World, Girlfriend")

- Let's dance. - Pardon?

Me?

No, thank you. No.

No.

Did you clear things up with the man with the camera?

Yes, I gave him my number.

He told me he'd call when he gets back to Korea.

Offer him plenty of money so it won't become a problem later.

But it's a bit of a pickle, Ms. Cha.

The camera seems quite old,

and he's refusing compensation for the same model.

Why?

He's not interested in the newer model.

He just told us to forget it and move our car.

He's acting up too much over an antique camera.

He would've accepted our offer if it was 100,000 dollars.

That would have made him forget about our car totally.

He's going to take our money anyway.

Forget 100,000 dollars.

He'll be even satisfied with 10,000 dollars.

He won't take our money.

Sorry?

Get some rest, and I'll schedule your dinner one hour from now.

I'm thinking of a local restaurant...

I'm going to rest, so go ahead and have dinner comfortably.

Are you going to take a sleeping pill and sleep early?

It'll help me adapt to the time difference.

But it's still bright outside.

Don't mind me and have dinner, Secretary Jang.

You should still have some dinner.

I'm going to sleep early and eat a high-quality breakfast.

Okay, I'll make preparations.

Do you understand what I mean by a high-quality breakfast?

Of course.

Good job today. I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes, ma'am.

Secretary Jang, what are you doing?

I'm in the middle of something.

I know, so tell me what it is.

I came outside for some beer.

- Already? - I was feeling a bit thirsty.

Alone?

No, I'm going to pick up a guy now.

- Hello. - Hello.

Have you been to Malecon Beach?

No.

What do you think about going there with me?

Ms. Cha, you should go there with your boyfriend.

Why would I go there with you?

What kind of secretary are you?

It's true that I'm your secretary,

but there's no need to spend time with you after work, is there?

You seem so excited on your own, when I'm feeling bored.

It's fine to feel bored at least for a day.

Is it okay if you lose your job then?

Goodness, here you go again.

Hey!

You never accepted my resignation, so stop threatening me.

I'm threatening you since I'm bored.

Seriously, you're insane.

- So let's go have some fun. - That's what I want to say.

Just let me have some fun, Cha Soo Hyun!

Fine. Have fun.

And come back in economy class tomorrow.

Don't be so cheap!

Hello?

My goodness.

Excuse me. I wasn't informed that you needed a car.

It's for a personal business. I want to take a taxi.

Where to?

I want to go where I can see the sunset of El Malecon beach.

Then you should go to Morro Cabana.

And you know what? That's the perfect place to fall in love.

Take her to Morro Cabana.

Good luck.

No, no.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Don't worry. Don't worry.

Wait a minute.

Sorry. I'm sorry, lady.

My car is broken.

You should take the ferry from over there.

It will be much faster.

Sorry.

I wonder if it can still take photos.

Where is Morro Cabana?

Go up.

Up?

- Thank you. - Okay.

What the...

Ms. Cha, why aren't you answering your phone?

I'm sleepy.

Hey, wake up. Are you okay?

Do you feel sick?

No, I'm not sick. I'm just sleepy.

Excuse me.

Have you seen a female VIP from Korea?

Oh, that beautiful lady?

She took a taxi to go see the sunset at El Malecon beach.

- She went to... - El Malecon beach. Thank you.

To Morro Cabana.

Do you need something from me?

Do I need something from you?

I mean, why was I leaning on your shoulder?

You fell asleep an hour ago, and you almost fell...

- Why did you do this? - Pardon?

My shoe.

It wasn't me.

It just slipped off and fell down there.

Let me explain just so you don't get any wrong ideas or get offended.

You almost fell from here while dozing off.

And I grabbed you right when you were about to fall.

So you can be reassured.

Bye, then.

Help.

Can you get my shoe for me?

It's dangerous, so wait here.

I guess it wasn't a scam.

It's beautiful.

Your shoe...

It's prettier than the postcard that's in the hotel, isn't it?

Oh, your hotel might not have it.

The sunset of El Malecon beach is two times more touching...

if you watch it as you listen to this music.

- Hello, he's candidate number two. - Vote for him.

- Number two. - Candidate number two.

Cha Jong Hyun's daughter sure is pretty.

There you are.

She seems familiar.

Could she be a celebrity?

Hey, is this Malecon Beach?

Yes, from here to there is all Malecon Beach.

Thank you.

Let me repay you.

I didn't do anything worth that.

I still owe you though.

It's all right. My shoulder got lucky too.

I'll remember it as a thrilling event...

that happened on my last night in Cuba.

I'll get going then.

Hold on.

Do you have any money?

How much do you need?

Enough for a bottle of beer.

Why are you laughing? I'm quite serious.

It's just... I mean...

Beer at this moment seems...

It's adorable.

Please wait here. I'll be right back.

Adorable?

It sounds nice but...

I'm glad I didn't spend it all.

I wonder how old he is.

He's like a green grape.

You'll end up drunk at that rate.

I bet I can hold my liquor better than you can.

How is it that you were dozing off with no money on you?

It could've been a disaster.

I'm here on business.

I took a sleeping pill to turn in early,

but I saw a photo of this place.

Today must be a strange day.

A pickpocket stole all my money.

So it was a tough day then.

Do you remember where you're staying?

You can take a taxi at the entrance of Morro Cabana.

I'll walk you there.

You probably don't know where to go.

Shall we head down then?

Sure.

All right.

Why not walk bare-footed?

Here?

It's a long way down for me to carry you.

I never asked for that.

Your feet seem to be in bad shape.

There are many tourists that walk around bare-footed.

I haven't seen any.

The old men and women in my neighborhood...

go hiking bare-footed.

I can't do it.

Doing it as a team gives you courage.

Also, it's less lonely.

Is it true?

About what?

The people in your neighborhood going hiking bare-footed.

It's 100 percent true.

Let's say I've been put under a spell.

Enchanted.

Are you a student? Or do you have a job?

I sell fruit.

So you're a fruit vendor.

A fruit vendor?

You're right. I'm a fruit vendor.

The camera looks vintage.

This?

It turned 28 this year.

Does it still work though?

Of course.

Although I had it fixed a few times.

It still took amazing photos,

but it got injured today.

You must like that model.

Do they not make those anymore?

They do.

It's not exactly me who treasures this.

My father's friend ran a photography studio,

and he gave this to my father when he closed the shop.

It was around when I was born.

He wanted my father to take many photos of me.

This camera is actually most cherished by my father.

Although, he didn't take many photos of me.

He said that he was too busy...

providing for us.

Once I started grade school, I took photos of my parents instead.

Why did you stop?

We're coming up the main street,

and it's rough and dirty to walk bare-footed.

You can wear these to the hotel.

I'm sorry. That was rude of me.

Your feet just seemed too...

No, it's not that.

What's your shoe size?

Is it around 230mm?

Choose a pair. They're on me.

Which one do you like best?

There's no need.

I'll pay you back for everything including the beer and shoes.

Then I'll note everything down...

so that you can pay me back.

Which one do you like best?

I just need to walk until I reach the hotel,

so let's just buy anything.

Anything?

Having to choose from anything...

is the hardest thing to do.

Does this one look a little funny?

I asked for anything, so it's just fine.

I think it looks pretty nice.

Where did she go?

Do you have more money?

Yes, I have enough.

Enough for what?

Enough to lightly fill up your empty stomach.

Here.

The food here is better than the hotel's.

I think you feel that way because you're hungry.

My palate isn't that simple.

Do you have more money?

Enough to buy two tickets to a salsa show?

What are you doing? Why are you putting it back inside?

You laughed when I'm not so funny, and it made me get upset.

You also laughed earlier.

You laughed saying I was adorable, and I laughed for the same reason.

Is that the so-called pocket money?

It's a young boy's pocket money.

What does that make me?

What I said is funnier than what you said.

You didn't need to put on a straight face.

I didn't think it was funny.

Do you not want to watch the salsa show?

Don't forget to receive the receipt for everything.

Of course. You need to pay me back.

How about we have one more cup of coffee?

Sure.

Are you sure we're not lost?

Is this where the salsa show takes place?

- It's nice, right? - Yes.

We should join.

No.

Thank you for today.

I also had fun thanks to you.

Give me your number.

I'll compensate you once I return to Korea.

No, it's okay.

Just think of it as a generous gesture...

made by a fellow Korean at a foreign country.

You sound like an old man.

That kind of term is used by my dad.

Really?

People do tell me that I act like an old man.

Stop making me beg for it, and just give me your number.

It's really not necessary.

I only did it to be kind, but if I give you my number,

it'll seem like I had an ulterior motive.

An ulterior motive?

You might think it was a means to get a beautiful lady's...

number.

Hey.

How long are you staying here for?

If you're free tomorrow morning,

you can buy me breakfast at that cafe.

I think your buying me breakfast would make up for everything.

I also have something to ask you.

Why don't you ask me right now?

I want to ask you tomorrow.

I want to refine my question first.

Does 9am work for you?

I might not be able to make it.

I don't know my schedule for tomorrow yet.

I'll just wait for 30 minutes and leave if you don't come.

Don't feel too pressured.

Okay.

Please take her to Havana Hotel. Thank you.

Right, her shoes.

Thank goodness we're meeting again tomorrow.

Thank you.

Hey!

How could you do this to me?

Do you want to see me die from anxiety, you brat?

Were you looking for me?

Why didn't you answer your phone?

I lost it.

I felt sorry and came back to hang out with you...

and found an open sleeping pill container, and you were gone.

I can have fun on my own too, Secretary Jang.

I never imagined searching every corner of Havana.

What's wrong with your shoes?

My shoes.

How could you smile right now?

Mi Jin, I think I've become Cinderella.

Get a grip, you idiot.

What's the problem?

They need to sign the contract again.

They're saying a clause is missing.

Which clause?

It's about the garden.

It's about maintaining that space exactly the same.

Didn't we tell them that we're preserving that garden?

Yes. We made a verbal agreement,

but I guess they suddenly want to include it in the contract.

The owner of the land of this hotel filed a complaint.

How long will it take?

I don't think it will take long.

Their employee is on the way now.

We still have plenty of time until our flight.

Check where he is right now.

Did I come too early?

How much longer do we have to wait?

He told me he's on the way.

Let me check again.

Oh, no. I have a train to catch soon.

- I'm sorry I'm late. - It's okay.

Please have a seat.

I need to go now.

My princess from "Roman Holiday".

- Hello. - Hello.

Here's your ticket.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for not keeping my promise.

I'm glad we still met like this here.

Some urgent matter suddenly came up.

That's okay.

I also knew that we broke your camera in the accident,

but I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

Oh, you were there too.

It wasn't broken badly. Don't worry about it.

My secretary will reserve a plane ticket for you.

Think of it as my compensation, and fly in business class.

No, I'll just sit in my seat.

I didn't even buy you breakfast.

Give me a chance to make up for it.

Really, I'll be fine.

I didn't do anything much to deserve such compensation.

Thanks to your generosity last night when I was totally lost,

I was able to come this far safely.

I'm wondering if you can accept my generosity in return this time.

I worked part-time to prepare for this trip.

I saved up money for a whole year.

I wanted to see how much I could travel on my budget.

I planned my trip for over a month.

Thanks to that, I'm ending my 20s...

with a trip that only brought happy memories.

Having to fly for 17 hours in coach is painful,

but that experience is part of my trip too.

My backpacking trip isn't over yet,

and I just want to end it as it were planned.

Is that a good enough answer?

Sure.

I'll consider my debt paid then.

Take care.

("Donghwa Hotel Begins Expansion to Cuba")

("CEO Cha Soo Hyun Heads Out to Cuba Herself")

That camera we broke.

It's a 28-year-old model, but it's still in production,

so prepare one.

Also, the memories of 28 years will be most important to him,

so make sure you don't come off as being rude.

How do you know the age of the model?

It's a hunch.

I see. A hunch.

("Donghwa Hotel, CEO Cha Soo Hyun")

Hello?

Hello, is this Mr. Kim Jin Hyuk?

Yes, this is he.

This is Donghwa Hotel.

Right.

I called to inform you that you passed the final interview.

Mr. Kim?

Hello?

My mom called for me out of the blue.

It seems like your mother misses you dearly.

I doubt it.

I have great news.

Do you have a new girlfriend?

Ice Princess?

She never smiles.

I was very worried about you.

It must be awkward since I'm your boss.

Not at all.

(Sure.)
