(Papa Group, New recruitment interview)

(Interviewer)

This is candidate number 15.

Hello.

I'm candidate number 15, Lee Hae In.

What do your parents do?

I don't have a father...

and my mother owns a bridal shop.

Your 67-year-old mother owns a bridal shop?

I have two mothers.

The one who gave birth to me and the one who raised me.

The latter is an everyday housewife...

while the former owns a bridal shop.

I can't tell you more than that since it's personal.

You wrote about your father a lot in your snack review.

Is there any special memory you share with him?

Not at all.

You don't have any memories of your father.

Has there been an incident where the lack of fatherly love...

made you ignorant when it came to male grown-ups?

No, not at all.

However, I do find it hard...

to understand grown-ups that don't act their age.

Do you think that you're perfect enough...

to demand everyone else's full understanding?

Well...

Did you by any chance explain our snacks...

to Chinese tourists yesterday at the market?

Yes, I did.

(Episode 10)

Candidates number 6, 8 and 15 received the highest scores.

Following them are numbers 19 and 25.

Those five are our top five choices.

I'm against number 15.

Why?

She was raised by a single mother and has no male siblings,

only a sister that's almost twice her age.

Also, having two mothers and all that means...

she's from a complicated family.

That's why I'm against her.

Out of all candidates, she has got the highest score.

Even a candidate with the highest score...

can be excluded from the final recruiting process...

if she's heavily disliked by an interviewer.

That's how I feel about her.

In this case, the spot goes to the runner-up.

What was up with you in there?

What?

You only gave number 15 a hard time during the interview.

It was clear that you hated her.

I actually went soft on her.

The questions candidates hate the most...

are those about their families and what they do.

I didn't think that you'd ask that.

I had my reasons.

It's not like I asked everyone that.

What didn't you like about her?

I know her kind since I'm from a broken family myself.

I saw myself in her.

Someone who lacks fatherly love.

Shouldn't you be more sympathetic then?

No, not at all.

How could you be so cruel?

I admit that I'm stubborn when it comes to this kind of situation.

You seem like a stranger when you get like this.

Let's not argue over something that's been settled.

I feel like I don't know him sometimes.

You don't have any memories of your father.

Has there been an incident where the lack of fatherly love...

made you ignorant when it came to male grown-ups?

Do you think that you're perfect enough...

to demand everyone else's full understanding?

Sir, can we talk?

What are you still doing here? The interview ended hours ago.

I was mulling over your questions.

Yes, you do that.

Once you're done, you can look for a job elsewhere.

I guess...

I didn't make the cut.

You were disqualified the moment you stepped into that room.

That's what you get for throwing a rag at my back.

If I knew who you were back then,

I wouldn't have made that mistake.

Take this as a learning experience.

Now you know how important it is to get wise in life.

If only there was someone who taught you that.

But what can you do? The ship's already sailed.

If I had a male grown-up in my life,

would he have taught me that?

This is why I pay attention to the candidates' family background.

Especially those who grew up without a father...

tend to lack wisdom.

I would've acted the same way...

even if I had a father.

What?

I would've still thrown the rag at your back...

that day at the car wash.

I knew that you were hopeless.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

Either work at car washes or look for a freelance job.

A place like Papa Group is way beyond your reach.

I'll someday...

become an employee of Papa Group.

- How exactly? - And I'll show you...

that grown-ups like you can be wrong as well.

You don't know when to stop, do you?

All right. Say whatever you want.

Even dogs can step foot in this lobby.

Just know that you'll never get past that desk.

Don't back down now.

You'll be buried if you admit to copying it.

All right. I'll call you later.

Here's my proof.

Do you believe me now?

There's not even a date stamp.

This won't suffice.

I think that this is more than enough.

I already called the magazine and cancelled our spread.

You can't!

Do you have any idea how hard it was to book them?

If they still want us in the issue, then feature another dress.

Are you saying that my dress is a copy?

I want to believe your conscience,

but all the evidence backs up the other designer's claim.

Pushing forward will only hurt us.

We're lucky if we can solve this by just destroying our dress.

What evidence?

Are you accusing me because her sketchbook...

was found in our building?

Who is this designer anyway?

I want to talk to her myself!

Go ahead and meet her.

Once you see how amazing her dresses are,

you'll understand why I've come to this conclusion.

How could you?

How could you do this to me?

I'm your lead designer.

You should be on my side, not hers!

What matters to me now is the truth.

Do you think that I'm lying?

I want to end things here before it gets out of hand.

We only need to give up one dress.

One dress?

That dress is my creation.

You might as well be cutting off my limbs!

Also, how could you tell me to go and see how talented she is?

Aren't you supposed to be on my side?

I can't let this slide.

I won't!

If you won't defend my honour, then I'll do it myself.

Don't stop me.

(Marie Bridal Shop)

So like this...

I want to see your boss, right now!

- How can I help you? - Is it you?

My boss is inside.

Who do you think you are coming in here yelling?

Get me your boss, right now!

What's going on?

Is it you?

What?

Yes, this is our boss.

You.

Did you see me copy your design?

You must be Hara's lead designer.

You've got some nerve coming here.

I have an axe to grind with you.

You're the one who copied my design.

Now I know who took the sketchbook I lost.

That's right. I lost my sketchbook too.

Is this a joke?

How can you lie through your teeth?

You know the truth better than anyone.

The truth?

What I say is the truth.

You have some nerve claiming that I copied your lousy design.

I'm the designer who made that dress!

Look who's calling the kettle black!

A designer without no integrity like yourself should be ostracised.

I thought that Hara's lead designer would be somewhat different...

but I thought wrong.

You're despicable.

Despicable?

Who are you calling despicable?

You're a pig that steals other people's designs.

Get out of my face!

- What? - What did you just say?

That's so low of you, even for a fraud.

A fraud?

Who are you calling a fraud?

That's it. I'm done being civil with you.

- What? - Let go!

- You! - Let go of her!

- Let go! - Come here!

What are you doing?

Da Hee, what's wrong with you?

Sir!

This is unfair. You can't do this to me.

Please get to the bottom of this.

We should at least take this to court!

What do you think you're doing?

Apologise to her now.

Apologise?

Are you taking her side yet again?

It's not that. I want you to apologise for getting physical.

Is this the kind of woman you are?

I was out of options!

I didn't know what else I could do to prove my innocence.

I'm not backing away from this fight.

I'll take her to court if I have to.

Really? To court?

I'm sorry.

Are you apologising for copying my design?

No, I'm apologising for the behaviour of my designer.

I see you're still in denial.

This is the proof my designer handed in.

Proof?

You've got to be kidding me.

We both know that this proves nothing.

Then the same goes for your sketches as well.

I don't have an explanation for why your sketchbook...

was found in our lobby.

It's only circumstantial,

but it still doesn't prove that my designer copied your dress.

You're just as evil as her.

Since your claims seem more believable,

we will take a step back though.

A step back?

We were ready to launch this dress nationally.

The dress I designed? Are you out of your mind?

That's why...

I cancelled all campaigns and our magazine spread.

We will never sell nor display that dress in our shop.

Of course you won't!

I don't want to prolong this fight.

That's why we're willing to take a step back.

I don't care whether you take steps backward or forward.

What's important to me is that the dress is my design.

I hate how you're not willing to admit that.

I'm really sorry about my designer's behaviour today.

While you're at it, apologise for copying my design.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

You're pathetic.

Up until now, I admired Hara Wedding Hall,

but not any more.

I wish to say more and get to the bottom of this,

but even looking at you makes me sick.

You're lucky that I'm ending things here.

Don't ever come by my shop again.

Stay away from me from now on.

Ms Lee.

I have nothing more to say. Please leave.

I'm going home. Make sure he leaves.

Who do you think you are?

How dare you insult my boss?

Do you know how hard she's worked for the past 20 years...

to come this far?

You have some nerves disrespecting her like that.

How dare you!

Gosh.

Darn it!

Sir.

Take down this dress.

Sorry?

Display another dress.

I'll ask Ms Shin first thing tomorrow morning.

I'm the CEO and I'm giving you a direct order!

Yes, Sir.

What? He took down the dress?

Unbelievable.

Who can stop him if that's what he wants?

Take it down. I can always make another dress.

That incompetent jerk.

Can't he even take care of a lousy little shop?

Why does he always get in my way?

What an idiot. I won't let it slide.

Is it good?

Of course it is. It's actually quite sweet.

Liar. It's bitter, not sweet.

Did you really expect to get in on your first try?

It took even my mum three times...

to get a job as a janitor there.

I...

wanted to get a job and earn money to support myself.

I wanted to hand what I earned to my mum and Eun Hee...

and treat them to a delicious meal.

All I wanted was to give back...

but now I'm sorry and embarrassed.

Mostly sorry though.

To Eun Hee and...

to my mum.

I guess I'm being punished...

for being a brat over the years. I'm sure of it.

I'm an accountant now. There's nothing to worry about.

I won't let you starve.

I'll also take your mother and sister out...

for a delicious meal and even on a vacation.

Han Sol!

I'm at your service!

At least let me finish.

You have me, so there's no need to worry.

I already got a job and I'm starting next week.

Just stop.

That's enough.

Marry me if you can't get a job.

Han Sol, stop it!

I'm at your service!

I told you numerous times to look elsewhere.

It's worthless now, so throw it out.

What? Throw it out?

Maybe I should've kept it.

It's still quite useful.

Both mugs would've made a cute vase.

(Succulent)

My gosh.

I can't believe how thrifty my son is.

Where did he hear about using mugs as a flower pot?

The broken handle actually adds a character.

Anyway, whoever gets to marry him is lucky.

He's an eligible bachelor for sure.

My son, Han Sol, the husband women dream of!

Who said that Papa Group was known to be fair?

I can't believe they turned her down after one interview.

Tell me about it.

What's going on with you?

There was an incident at the shop today.

What happened?

It's nothing.

I knew that jerk showing up in my dream wasn't a coincidence.

- Who? Bang Seok? - Don't call him so affectionately.

He appeared in my dream last night.

I followed him around to grab him but I just couldn't.

I ended up losing him in an alley.

It still made me angry even after I woke up.

That insufferable pig.

Every time he pops up in my dream, something bad happens.

Come on, Mum. Now you're exaggerating.

So what happened at the shop?

It was nothing.

I'll just blame it on your dream.

Sometimes things don't pan out as you want.

Life can't always be full of rainbows and sunshine, right?

Let's recharge ourselves with a nice dinner.

I made kongguksu. Tell Hae In to come home.

Kongguksu?

That sounds delicious.

All right. I'll call her.

Are you done eating?

I've lost my appetite.

Why? We have braised abalones, your favourite.

I don't know. I just don't feel like eating.

Please excuse me.

Up until now, I admired Hara Wedding Hall,

but not any more.

Don't ever come by my shop again.

Stay away from me from now on.

That was weird. Did a woman break his heart?

As if. I hope he sees someone.

You know how much he loves abalones.

Something must really be on his mind.

Stop worrying about him and eat up.

These braised abalones remind me of Ho Young.

He actually called earlier today.

Mum, don't worry. He's not starving in New York.

You should see his posts. They're all pictures of food.

Home-cooked meals are different.

Of course.

That reminds me. Did you meet the girl I told you about?

I did.

She made the cut, right?

Well...

Is her name by any chance...

Lee Hae In?

How did you know that?

I read the reviews written by the candidates today.

I loved her story...

and she knew about our snacks very well.

Send her up to my office tomorrow.

I'd like her to do something.

She didn't make the cut.

Why?

Why did you turn down someone as talented as her?

She wasn't approved by all of the interviewers.

Are you saying that someone was against her?

Who was it?

Well...

- Was it Sang Ho? - Dad?

Can't he even tell who's competent now?

Where is he anyway?

He's at a meeting with the city officials.

I can't believe him.

How can he turn down someone that even I found competent?

You should give her another try.

- It doesn't work like that. - Make an exception.

We already let the candidates know our decision.

Her review gave me an idea...

and I was looking forward to working with her.

The other candidates are just as competent.

He's a fan.

I see him almost every day.

He's not with his usual friends today though.

Do you remember that article?

He's the entrepreneur that Li Na's been seeing.

I see.

Well, take extra good care of him.

Yes, Sir.

You have to stay strong at times like this.

Don't back down and keep claiming your innocence.

That'll make her rethink about her designs and back down.

That's what I plan to do.

You have to do better though.

Don't copy other designs so blatantly from now on.

Someone might doubt you and check your school records.

All right.

Sun Young's family can be a handful, so be careful.

Do you really think that you can beat her family?

Of course.

When that day comes, can we get married like...

an ordinary couple and have babies...

of our own?

Why do you need all that when you have everything?

You're right. I don't even like kids.

Marriage is optional too.

I'll always stay fit and pretty for you...

to share only the good days together.

Trust me, you have the best deal.

What about Sun Young?

She gets nothing except for my outer shell.

I'm thrilled to hear you say that.

Did you mean it?

Of course.

Sun Young's good to you though.

I hate her mostly because of how her father treats me.

Me too. I hate her more because of how Min Soo treats me.

Sang Ho, I have your back...

so make sure to bring CEO Na down.

First him, then Min Soo.

Then we take care of Sun Young.

That just leaves you and me.

Of course!

Cheers.

What?

Dad seemed pretty disappointed.

He read Hae In's review and fell in love with it.

He's looking for a way to hire her.

Did you forget how he reacted when I told Ah Young...

that I'd look at her friend's resume?

What does he want to do with a rejected candidate?

Is he trying to make me look like a fool?

Like I said, he fell in love with her snack review.

There was nothing sincere about it at all.

Gosh, this is pathetic. How did we stoop this low?

Ah Young's smitten with her as well.

She kept on asking me to reconsider.

The interviews aren't a joke.

If he wants to ignore the hiring process,

then let him hire all the new recruits from now on!

We've already noticed the candidates.

There's nothing he can do.

So why is he complaining about something that's over?

He just thinks that we should've hired her...

and I agree.

You too?

I really don't get why everyone's so fond of her!

(Papa Group)

We contacted all our top choices...

but one apparently has decided to work at another company.

Really?

Yes, should I contact the runner-up?

Hold off on that for a minute.

Yes, Ma'am.

- Father. - What is it?

There's a way for us to hire the candidate that you liked.

How?

One of our top choices has declined our offer.

You can now hire the candidate you want.

Really? That's great news!

I want her on the task force.

- Of course. - Well...

I asked around about the interviews...

and it seems like Sang Ho was especially mean to her.

I can't tell you how embarrassed I was to hear that.

He had his reasons.

Don't take his side.

I had to restrain myself from giving him an earful.

What?

One of our other choices turned us down.

There's no reason for us to not hire Hae In.

This time, you'll have to fold.

You're no longer allowed to interview new recruits any more.

Sir!

We don't discriminate against orphans and...

those from other broken families.

They'll never be at a disadvantage in that respect any more.

One more thing.

I'm putting you in charge of the new task force.

Sorry?

I'll be joining you for some constructive advice...

but I want you to take care of...

everything else including all operations.

Yes, Sir.

I'll closely watch how you treat a new recruit you screened out.

Doesn't he have anything better to do?

What does he have to do with the new recruits?

I know he's old, but this is a waste of time.

He's found a new way to suck the life out of me.

- Hey! - Hae In, oh my gosh.

Did you just throw a rag at me?

I thought it was appropriate for your dirty mouth.

That insufferable brat!

If only I could tell everyone why we shouldn't hire her.

(Resume)

(Here Comes Love)

Remember the Chinese agency that called us last time?

- What about it? - They want to sit down with you.

Someone highly recommended you.

- Who? - He wishes to stay anonymous.

Anonymous?

I look forward to working with you.

Well, not for me.

I'll do my best, Sir.

Are you implying that people here don't seem to work hard?

I want to offer you a job at Hara.

Let's join forces.

I'll make sure the world learns about your dresses.
