(Episode 70)

("Back to the Sky")

"I shall go back to the sky."

"Hand in hand, together with the dew."

"Fading at the soft touch of dawn."

"I shall go back to the sky."

"At sunset, together, just us two."

"Playing at the shore when the clouds beckon."

"I shall go back to the sky."

"And on the day this beautiful outing ends."

"I shall go and say it was beautiful."

Se Hoon! Se Hoon!

Se Hoon! Se Hoon!

I told you to stay at the hospital.

I wanted to get hospitalized as late as I could.

You should lie down.

I'm okay. I'll lie down when I'm tired.

You heard what the doctor said, right?

You need to eat well.

You need to have stamina in order to survive the surgery.

Promise me...

that you'll force yourself to eat so that the surgery will go well.

Okay, I will.

Thank you, Mi Ran.

You can thank me...

after you get the surgery and become healthy.

I'll go tell the nurse...

to exchange your IV fluid with a new one.

After I met you again,

I realized that love comes in many different forms.

I regret everything so much.

So what happened? Se Hoon didn't die, did he?

He's going to get a transplant, so he'll live.

I know we have no control over when we die,

but he's still very young, so I'm glad he's going to be okay.

But why are you mentioning him so early in the morning?

To tell you guys not to hate him anymore.

You shouldn't hate someone who's sick.

There's no point in hating him.

We sometimes become victims...

and sometimes become assailants.

That's life.

We had an ill-fated relationship,

and that's what caused us to get so tired of each other.

I admit that your late father and I...

were both ruthless to Se Hoon.

But Se Hoon was also very condescending...

and looked down on our family.

Mom's right.

When he lived with us, although it was for a short while,

he looked at our family with so much contempt in his eyes.

He threatened your father with our borrowed-name accounts...

when they first met.

I know our parents were against him, but they eventually approved.

And once he started living with us,

he should've at least tried to get along...

no matter how much he hated our family.

You guys never opened up to him.

And I'm not taking sides here.

Are you trying to decide which came first...

between the chicken and egg?

Let me tell you the answer. The chicken came first.

Without a chicken, there'd be no egg.

I get that he was angry at us, but we were his in-laws.

The fact that he gave the documents...

regarding our irregularities to the prosecution...

means he was ready to become enemies with us.

Ji Eun, you had it the hardest since you were stuck in the middle.

What matters is that she's with a decent man now.

It's over with Jung Min.

Then why were you guys together?

I met him yesterday because we had to talk about something.

I need to get ready for work now.

I know she's my daughter, but it's so hard to get her.

Just stay out of it.

Who stays together without ever breaking up at least once?

Couples break up, get back together, break up, and fight.

Then they cry their eyes out...

and say they can't live without the other person.

Then they get back together.

You're also back together with Mr. Kang.

- Are you on your way to work? - Yes, enjoy your breakfast.

Thank you.

I used the perilla oil recipe you told me yesterday...

and cooked soft tofu stew.

Great job. I told you that's the secret.

Let's eat together.

I know you always come here to eat breakfast with my mom.

I'll let you guys enjoy your date.

Stop being so disrespectful.

Don't get so angry and just enjoy your breakfast.

But you guys meet every morning...

and spend the entire day together at the restaurant.

Why don't you just...

get married and live together?

My gosh.

This house is too cramped. We can't live together here.

I'm surprised that you didn't say "no" to it.

Then why don't we buy a bigger house so we can all live together?

That's not what I meant.

Mr. Kang.

Do you want to know how you can make my mom head over heels for you?

Of course.

One of my mom's wishes...

is to move back into our old house.

It's where my parents used to live.

I inherited it after I got married.

And that's where I gave birth to my late son,

Ji Eun, and Young Eun.

We renovated the house after some time,

but the persimmon tree and pear tree...

were all planted there by my father.

And the kids all grew up there.

If three generations lived in that house together,

I'm sure it holds a lot of fond memories.

Happiness is hard to notice when you have it.

You just end up reminiscing on it.

I'm sure I'll never get the chance to live in that house again.

That's why you should marry Mr. Kang...

and ask him to buy that house for you.

I told you to stop chasing after his money.

Why do you keep connecting love with money?

"Love"? Did you just say "love"?

My goodness.

Am I not allowed to use that word? Let's just go eat.

Even if you marry my mom, I won't be able to call you "Dad".

Even so, can't I call you "my daughter"?

- Mr. Kang, move. - What?

I'll send you all the photos via email...

once the photoshoot is done by this week.

Select the photos and leave the comments.

Then I'll reflect your opinions...

on the online shopping mall we're about to launch.

Oh, and one more thing.

Why is Korea so cold?

Mom, did you get another facelift?

You obviously got a ton of procedures done...

seeing that you can't pronounce things properly.

Mom, Dad treated you like a princess when you guys got married,

and now he treats you like a deity.

Why are you so obsessed with your looks?

Your kind son has decided to give it his best shot,

so don't worry, Mom.

I'll hang up now.

My goodness.

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

You're pretty.

I'll let you off the hook since you're pretty.

You, pretty girl, can keep going your way.

And I, the handsome and down-to-earth guy,

will keep going my way. Okay?

I'd like an Americano with two espresso shots.

I'll have it ready right away.

Did he ask for another Americano?

I don't think he got any sleep last night.

(Bisang Textile, CL Complex Shopping Mall Progress Report)

(Bisang Textile, CL Complex Shopping Mall Progress Report)

I should start referring to Ji Eun as the CEO now.

Come and sit down, Mr. Kim.

I know this may be awkward,

but I need to get used to sitting in the chairman's seat.

So I hope you understand.

You're going to become the chairman, so it's the right thing to do.

Some executives also look down on you due to your young age,

so you'll need to show them who's in control as well.

Take a seat.

The person who knows you best is yourself,

and you're the only person who can decide what to do with your life.

And that's exactly why I turned myself in...

and went to the prosecution.

Although it put us through a lot of trouble,

I was confident that it would turn Seorin into a transparent company.

Either that or I was going to get dismissed by the board...

for being a lunatic who caused harm to the company.

They say your luck changes when you make the right choice.

I support your plan, future strategies,

and the projects you have in mind for the company's growth.

It gives me a lot of strength and comfort to know...

that there's at least one person who believes in me.

It's not just one person.

As you succeeded the business...

through legal procedures,

it enabled our company to become more transparent.

And that got rid of a lot of negative images regarding Seorin.

It also resulted in an increase in our stock price.

And many analysts think it's going to have...

a positive effect on the company in the long run.

More and more people are starting to show interest in you.

And I heard you have quite a large number of followers on social media.

"Innovative and challenging ideas."

"The best of ones."

"Pain is caused by miscommunication."

"I feel all better now."

"I don't hide. That's not how I do things."

"Today's strategy. Increase sales."

Do I need to keep reading this?

Read a few of the comments too.

"You're so cool. Good luck. What a sensible man."

Read them yourself.

That's not how you should talk to your senior.

"Back in my day".

We were never allowed to talk like that these days.

Good morning.

I'm not exactly late, but I got here last.

Something happened on my way to work.

It's nothing to worry about.

Ms. Han.

Were you still not able to get the designer's phone number?

I asked the design association, art universities,

and many other organizations, but it's so hard to find her number.

Must we look for someone who sent us a portfolio...

with just her address written on the envelope?

The new online platform needs to be witty.

And I really want to find her because of her uniqueness.

But does the designer also need to be a woman?

We're all women here.

Gender doesn't matter when it comes to work.

What matters is your competence.

Ms. Choi.

Can you send me the designer's address via text?

I think I should go see her in the afternoon.

Okay, I'll send it to you right away.

We may be Seorin's affiliate,

but Bisang Textile is still a very small company.

In order to build a strong foundation,

we need to make sure everything inside the company goes well.

We'll make sure to take care of everything properly...

so that you won't have to worry about anything.

We still have a lot of time before our meeting with Seorin,

so let's all get to work.

Ms. Lee.

You're still friends with Director Seo on social media, right?

I followed him on social media,

but I guess he hasn't seen my DM since he hasn't replied yet.

Will you please let him know?

We need to be friends with someone famous...

in order to see an increase in our followers.

It'll help with promoting Bisang Textile.

A professional shouldn't let their personal feelings...

get in the way of work.

I also know that he's very popular on social media these days.

He got rid of the serious image as a conglomerate's son...

and managed to build a friendlier image to the public.

All my friends from overseas ask me about him.

Ms. Han.

Why don't you get back to work?

But this is about work.

It's about promoting Bisang Textile.

Now you just need to keep moving forward.

It's too early to feel relieved.

The stockholders who wish to get me dismissed will gather together.

And Chairwoman Seo will be in the center of that movement.

Your decisions brought a more positive effect to the company,

so your dismissal will get rejected at the stockholders' meeting.

And the newly appointed executives...

are going to support you.

It may look that way because I announced...

that I plan to reform the company myself.

But Mr. Kim,

people tend to feel very nervous...

about embracing the uncertainty of innovation.

That's because our reality is different from our expectations.

That's why we need to make sure to pick those...

who will vote in favor of you at the stockholders' meeting.

You need to receive more than 50 percent of the votes.

That means all their votes matter...

in order for you to become appointed as the chairman.

We need someone who will help us achieve what we want.

I don't want someone who will stand on my side unconditionally.

I need the kind of people who are willing to reform Seorin...

and have their own set of beliefs.

I don't want people who try to please the owner...

and think the company's priority should be to fulfill...

the stockholders.

I need people who will keep me in check...

and have the ability to test and criticize me.

"99 percent of people try to predict the future..."

"by looking at the present."

"And one percent of the people decide how to behave..."

"by looking into the future." You remind me of that saying.

That's too grand of a compliment.

I'd rather have you criticize me than to butter me up.

May I ask you something?

Why are you so determined to get rid of...

the company's irregularities even when you're the owner's son?

Because I don't want to be embarrassed.

That's a clear answer.

Mr. Jang used to be in charge of the online shopping mall.

And now I took over.

Ms. Lee, I trust that you'll do well.

Do you remember what I told you in the past?

I told you that you have a lot of strengths.

You're quick to take action, you know how to take initiative,

you're persistent, and you're bold.

And...

you're very ambitious.

When you're in a certain position of power,

it shows you what kind of person you truly are.

It's time you show everyone how much you can achieve.

I'll do my best to show what I can do.

I stayed up all night wondering how I should look...

when I run into you today.

I'm not sure if I managed to put on the face that I had in mind.

I can tell that you didn't get any sleep because of me.

Your love for me was bound to make you feel more lonely,

and I felt so bad for that.

And even though I knew that,

I pushed you away because I knew I wasn't going to change.

But of course, that's all just an excuse.

I'm sure this is the right address.

Aren't you the guy I met this morning?

You're a suspicious woman.

Did you follow me here?

I don't mind exchanging glances with pretty women,

but I don't open up to them easily.

You're staring too blatantly.

You can't seem to take your eyes off my six-pack abs,

so why don't you try touching it?

My gosh! My goodness!

Gosh, my nose.

I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?

I'll let you off the hook once again since you're pretty.

It's okay. You can give me back my handkerchief.

I'll give it to you on our third encounter.

I'm sorry for making your nose bleed,

but you know you crossed the line, right?

You don't need to give it back to me.

You must not know how to flirt with guys anymore.

Excuse me. I have a question.

I'm looking for someone. Is there a person named Ellie?

"Ellie"? I've never heard of that name before.

I don't think that person is a member here.

And none of our employees are named Ellie.

I see.

- I'm sure this was the address. - You're so busy.

Do you have time?

Then I should see you right away.

You know I love you, right?

I'm so grateful that you love me. Are you happy now?

My gosh, you punk.

Stop putting your dad through so much trouble.

Chairman Chung asked me to keep my eyes on you...

until you finally grow up and become mature.

But I have to say, this is a very difficult job.

So tell me, Ha Jun. Where are you right now?

(Seorin)

These days, so many people eat, drink, and go on trips alone.

Living a single life has become a trend.

We're seeing more and more people living alone these days.

That's right.

And therefore, we've prepared a set of home appliances...

for those who live alone.

As you can see,

these appliances are very cute in size,

and they're very easy to use.

And you can easily make juice for breakfast...

using fruits and vegetables such as apples, oranges, and carrots.

And because it's very light, it's great for women.

It's the best item for single people who enjoy keeping things simple.

Late-night snacks are a must for people who live alone.

And the best late-night snack is ramyeon.

And with this device, it only takes three minutes...

to cook yourself a nice late-night snack.

We're getting more and more orders.

You'll have to make a quick decision.

- We're about to get sold out. - We're about to get sold out.

Nice. We're all sold out. You did great.

What about me?

You're jealous over this? You did great too, Yoo Na.

I thought you guys broke up.

Back when I said it's less stressful to stay single,

you both agreed with me.

That's why Yeo Jin planned this for single people.

Why are you so obsessed about making us break up?

I was told that Director Nam and I are a great couple...

and that we're never going to break up.

- Who said that? - A compatibility app.

It's really precise.

It also said you have a really strong personality.

Say one more word,

and I'll have you stay single for the rest of your life.

Really?

My gosh, this is bad.

I was going to buy one, but it's all sold out.

What a pity.

Will you buy one from me?

I have a new one at home.

Then will you give me a discount?

I'll give you a discount if you come and pick it up at my place.

Deal.

When should I go?

You'd better not cancel it last minute like you did last time.

Yoo Na, you really know how to hold a grudge.

- Forget it then. - No, that's not what I meant.

How about I buy you a drink?

What's going on between you guys?

We might end up liking each other after all this flirting.

You guys look good together since you're both pessimistic.

You should try to make it work.

Are you serious?

Bok Ja, are you jealous?

I have a boyfriend.

And I'm her boyfriend.

Hey, I told you to keep your manners at work.

Okay.

Yoo Na. Yeo Jin. Get ready for the next show.

- Okay, we'll be right there. - Okay.

- Good luck - Thanks.

How's Se Hoon?

He got really sick yesterday, so he got hospitalized.

He's going to get a heart transplant,

so we don't need to worry, right?

He'll come back to work once he gets his surgery.

My goodness, is Mr. Jang sick?

The address turned out to be a climbing gym.

And there was no one named "Ellie" there.

You went all the way there for nothing.

Can I go home as soon as I'm done with the meeting with our client?

Sure.

And please upload a post on our social media and webpage...

that we're looking for a designer named "Ellie".

Bye.

This is our third time today. Fate must want us to be together.

Stop joking around.

Why would you assume that I'm joking around?

Who knows? Maybe we're destined to be with each other.

"Destined"? Did you really just say that?

Do you believe in destiny?

I feel like I should say "yes" to make you fall for me.

Listen. I believe in destiny.

And I know for sure that you're not destined for me.

- Hey, Jung Min. Over here. - Hey.

By the way, do you work here?

Jung Min, I met her three times today.

And I already like her so much.

You stole my girl from me,

so I should do the same to you.

(Phoenix 2020)

I want you to teach me how to run a business.

You're young and ambitious. I wish you all the best.

We may be a small company, but let's try to hang in there...

so we can make something special out of Bisang Textile.

We held hands and promised to divide Seorin into two.

So it's natural that I come.

When you approach a sharp curve, you get flustered...

and lose track of reality.

Go to Jang Se Hoon's house...

and find anything that could become his weakness.

I need to choose my dad over love.

But I miss Jung Min so much.
