[Episode 49]

Jin Song-ah.

Wipe the water off of Oh Bit-na's shoes.

What are you doing? Wipe her shoes.

Get up right now!

You're employed by our company,

You're not Oh Bit-na's manager.

This is business.

Don't get your personal feelings involved in this.

You're the one who should separate your personal life from your professional one.

And enough with this childishness.

What is everyone doing in front of me?

This is ridiculous.

Oh Bit-na!

Miss Oh Bit-na!

Are you okay?

I think Miss Oh Bit-na was offended...

What if things go sour with her?

Why do you care about how she feels instead of how you feel?

She was hurting your pride a moment ago.

My pride?

Why is that important right now?

Now's not the time or place to uphold pride.

I'm desperate now, more than ever. I need to survive in this company!

You won't get fired for standing your ground.

It's different between a normal employee and a General Manager.

I don't want to get fired again!

[The Rags to Riches Story of Kang Se-na]

You're here?

Who is it that's making my Kang Se-na angry?

My brother-in-law is ruining everything!

Kang-mo?

What has he done to you?

He humiliated me in front of Oh Bit-na.

She got angry, and now she's threatening to void our contract.

Did I really go too far when all I did was give Jin Song-ah a few orders?

I'm supposed to be her superior at work!

Why are you laughing?

I get the situation. Go on.

He told me to separate my personal life from business,

but he's the one who's crazy about Jin Song-ah.

Does he really think he'll end up marrying her?

If they love each other, they can get married.

You don't know what you're talking about.

What is it that I'm missing here?

Why don't you enlighten me?

I'm curious now.

Your family business is your business,

and your business is now my business.

Jin Song-ah used to be Cha Gun-woo's woman.

Woo-joo's grandmother would never accept her into the family.

And I wouldn't allow it, either.

I'm going to separate the two of them,

no matter what it takes.

Out of curiosity,

what is it that you have against Jin Song-ah?

You can tell me some other time.

Oh, I have something for you.

Come over here.

I thought this would look good on you.

I hope you like it.

Are you going to stand there looking surprised?

Take a closer look. See if you like it.

Do you like it?

Try it on. Let's see if it looks good on you.

It's not working...

Let me help.

Chief Kang, what are you doing here?

I called for her.

I wanted to ask her about the marketing campaign with Oh Bit-na.

Chief Kang, it's a shame that the general manager complicated things.

But I'm confident in your abilities,

and I trust that you'll salvage the situation.

Thank you for your trust in me.

Mom.

Aren't you going to get ready to open the restaurant?

I'm tired of it all.

Everything!

You reek of liquor.

I can forget it~

I can erase it~

Again I tell myself today~

If you were going to behave like this, why did you kick them out?

I did it because I didn't want Se-na to hate me.

She resents me for having no money and for ruining her life.

She blames me for everything that's gone wrong for her.

We already know that she's mean.

What has she ever done for us?

Why does she have to trample all over my pride?

You yell at me all the time,

so why can't you give her a piece of your mind?

Mom, by any chance...

By any chance what?

Did you find me somewhere?

Why, you bonehead!

I can say anything to you because you're my daughter,

and I can't be open with Se-na because she's a relative.

Is that right?

I'm about to lose my mind...

Why can't you understand how I feel about you?

Ra-bong, you should be able to speak freely between family members.

And even if someone's offended,

members of a family forgive quickly and forget about it.

Mom...

It's just you and me.

Let's do well.

I miss Do-joon so much!

What?

Do-joon...

Song-ah.

Mom.

I'm fine.

So don't you worry about me.

I'm tired.

Mom, why are you always sleeping?

You weren't like that before.

Isn't it easier for you when I'm asleep?

Huh?

Sis, you're here, too?

Mom, were you frightened being here alone?

No, I wasn't scared in the least.

Time simply flies during the day.

That's a relief.

I was worried that you'd have a hard time adjusting.

Don't you worry about me.

Son, did you find another job?

Yea.

I'm going to be working at a pizza place from now on.

I want to eat some pizza.

Really?

Then I'll get some for you tomorrow.

I'm sleepy.

Mom, are you sure you're not feeling ill?

No, it's nothing like that.

Everything's well.

What did you say?

Oh Bit-na's decided not to work with us?

Yes.

I heard that she was a rather particular actress...

What was her reason for cancelling the contract?

Brother-in-law humiliated me in front of Miss Oh Bit-na.

I was giving Jin Song-ah some orders,

but he intervened and proceeded to discipline me.

Oh Bit-na witnessed the whole thing...

and found it offensive.

My goodness!

Kang-mo, you're behind this again!

I only stated my point.

Then why is Oh Bit-na threatening not to work with us?

The person we need right now isn't Jin Song-ah,

it's Oh Bit-na!

But you offend Oh Bit-na while trying to protect Jin Song-ah?

And you call yourself the General Manager?

What did he do that's so wrong?

Why are you only listening to her side of the story?

You're always so protective of your son,

so he doesn't know how to handle himself!

Father.

Isn't that a bit harsh?

Please, that's enough.

There's no use in fighting amongst family.

As a family, we should accept everyone's shortcomings.

Am I wrong, Honey?

That's what I mean when I say that you're being overprotective!

Being accepting should only occur within these walls.

Anyways, I expect Kang-mo to take care of this.

There's only one general manager,

but many people would be happy to take that spot.

What kind of ridiculousness was that?

Why are you always threatening to fire him!

That's not a chairman, that's a crime lord!

Mother, you're being too hard on him.

Don't call me your mother...

if you're going to behave like this!

Don't worry.

Father was angry and he didn't mean it.

Whenever you and Woo-joo's mother cause a problem,

he blames it on Kang-mo so it makes me mad!

What did he do to deserve that?

That's enough.

I can take care of myself.

Don't tell me that's enough!

You haven't been the general manager for very long,

so why is he threatening to take your job away?

He's threatening you with your livelihood!

How can he treat his son this way!

Please get some rest. I'm going upstairs now.

Not all sons are the same.

What do you mean by that?

It's not true when they say that all fingers of a hand...

are equally important.

Some fingers are more important than others.

All children all alike!

Who told you such a ridiculous thing?

Father did.

What were you talking about earlier?

About what?

The thing about the fingers.

Did Father really say that to you?

Have you forgotten?

Our agreement doesn't require me to tell you what's on my mind.

What's she scheming this time?

Mom, are you feeling alright?

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

Mom. Mom!

Lie down.

I'm fine.

I think Mom's only saying that she's fine.

Are the two of you fighting over food now?

I don't know if I'm having a meal or watching a fight.

Hey, let's go grab some soup at the restaurant.

What's your problem with me?

I'm the mother of your grandchild!

I can't stand the sight of you,

but the only reason I'm not kicking you out is because of my grandchild!

How dare you tattle on my Kang-mo in front of me!

I wasn't tattling on anyone!

I was briefing the chairman on work,

not tattling on my brother-in-law.

No?

Are you saying that you have no intention...

of tearing Kang-mo down?

You can't fool me.

I don't care how thick your makeup is.

I can see right through you!

You can try to hide it, but I can see your dark intentions!

So watch your actions, you wicked thing!

I heard that the contract with Oh Bit-na stalled because of Jin Song-ah.

Oh Bit-na's personality is the problem here.

I heard the story and it wasn't even that serious.

Why is she threatening to pull out now?

Mr. Hong.

Are you comparing a normal person to a celebrity?

No.

I was simply commenting on the contract...

Would you like to leave for lunch?

I found a great place that makes the best kimchi stew.

Forget it. You can go and enjoy it by yourself.

You do know that you've placed the general manager...

in a precarious position?

Did you put me in that position on purpose yesterday?

Why?

Do you have a problem with that?

Dealing with celebrities is part of your job description.

Yes, Miss Oh Bit-na.

I'm grateful that you've called me back.

Yes.

Oh, yes.

Isn't Jin Song-ah a harmful person?

You're right.

Why is she going against the chief like that?

Chief Kang shouldn't be trifled with.

She's the daughter-in-law of the chairman.

But the two of them were friends before.

This is between us, but Chief Kang's got an awful temper.

It seems to me that Chief Kang's out to bring Jin Song-ah down.

This is bitter...

Do you know our company's motto?

"Our coworkers are our family members."

I suggest that you keep that in mind.

You spend more time at the company than you do at home.

You spend more time with your colleagues than your family members,

so try to be warm to one another.

Yes...

I've met with Oh Bit-na...

and convinced her to resume her contract with us.

Is that so?

Good work.

I know it isn't easy to change someone's mind.

I acknowledge your shrewd business sense.

You can leave it to me.

I'd like to prove myself to you.

Yea.

I'm limited in my current position,

and I want to do more for our company.

You must think that Kang-mo is incapable of carrying out his duties.

I know you're ambitious.

I hold your ambition in high regard.

Thank you.

With the success of our new water filter product,

I'll be sure to prove my worth to you.

Alright.

I look forward to it.

[Blood-sucking leech]

Who's calling you?

It's an associate.

Please excuse me.

Yea.

How have you been?

Why do you look angry every time I see you?

It must've been hard to become Cinderella,

and it must be harder maintaining the act.

Judging from your face, you look ready to explode.

Follow me.

Okay.

Do I look like your personal bank to you?

Did you deposit money with me?

Why do you keep coming to me when you're out of money?

That would be because you're my best customer.

Please wake up.

How do you intend to make amends for all of your sins?

Look at the pot calling the kettle black...

Look here, Kang Se-na.

A lifetime of sins couldn't compare to what you've done.

What did you say?

I'm so sick of you.

Why do you think I saved your name...

as "Blood-sucking Leech" on my phone?

I may be opportunistic, but I have a conscience.

I wanted to help you and be compensated accordingly.

But if you fail to give your old colleague the proper respect,

I may just lose my mind.

Then I'll really become a leech who feeds on you.

Do whatever you want to do.

You seem to be in a hurry to destroy yourself.

Do what you will.

Why are the two of you meeting up like this?

Song-ah, why are you here?

Kang Se-na.

Are you hiding something from me?

What is it?

Does it have to do with Hyun-ah?

Does it?

Have you lost your mind?

What are you imagining right now?

I know you want to bring me down,

but do you think it's appropriate to accuse me of such nonsense?

What did you say?

You're lying to cover up your tracks again.

Detective Kim, tell me what you're doing here.

Yes, well...

I'm no longer a detective, and I'm unemployed.

Why are you meeting with Kang Se-na?

About that...

So, um...

He has feelings for my aunt.

I'm not against you seeing my aunt.

She's had such a lonesome life.

If she were to find someone, I'd be supportive.

Treat her well.

Well, I'm thankful if you see it that way.

Do you really have feelings for Mrs. Oh?

I sincerely love her.

Did you hear that?

So stop assuming things.

Don't you know who I am?

Be thankful that I'm not reporting you for defamation.

Wait for me, Ms. Oh's niece...

I'll be back.

Leave it. I'll go.

It's too dangerous.

I wish Do-joon was here to depend on.

I was playing with a boat made of leaves and I left it behind~

I remember when I lie down next to my mother~

Big Sister?

Um, Big Sis?

Is that you, Jung-ok?

Um...

My children told me not to talk to strangers,

but would you happen to be Mrs. Oh?

You're right.

It's me. Bong's Chicken!

Oh, my Big Sister!

Mrs. Oh, I missed you!

Let me see your face.

You've lost so much weight!

Oh, my goodness...

No one ever tells me that I've lost weight!

Have you eaten?

Yea, yea...

No, wait...

What's this?

Oh, my...!

Big Sis, are you taking sedatives?

Yea...

About that...

I'm so scared here.

Oh, my... what to do...?

But if I look scared, it'll only make it harder for my kids.

The best thing I can do for them is to stay asleep.

But I can't sleep...

That's why you're taking medication?

Let's go back to my house.

We can't go back there.

Se-na will scream at you again.

It's alright.

She doesn't pay the bills.

And what gives her the right to tear us apart?

The heavens can't separate us.

We're going home right now. Hurry up and pack your things.

Are these your things?

Go, let's hurry.

What?

I heard that my sister-in-law's aunt runs a restaurant in New York,

but Detective Kim has feelings for her?

What?

Chief Kang's probably lying again.

She lied that her aunt in Seoul was an aunt from New York.

Everything that woman says is a lie.

Chief Kang and Kim Sang-chul probably met through Hyun-ah's investigation.

I think so, too.

But I don't know what the two of them are up to.

Don't be too hasty.

We don't have any evidence yet,

but our suspicions are being confirmed.

The truth will be revealed soon enough.

Yes.

I'm going to uncover the truth.

[Subtitles provided by MBC]

[Preview]

I want to be there for you.

Will you stay with me tonight?

Do you think the world is beneath your feet...

because you're the chairman's daughter-in-law?

You can't have everything your way!

Do you think the world's on your side?

Therefore, the world's on my side and not yours.

What took you so long?

I came as fast as I could.

Do you know how expensive my outfit is?

I don't want you to push me away anymore.

I won't watch you handle this alone any longer.

I'll wait for you until you decide to come to me.
