(Episode 6)

Are you...

Ms. Min Hee Kyung, the CEO of Lora?

Do you know me?

He wants to see his mom.

Jin Ho.

What did you just say?

Jin Ho...

is asking for his mom.

Honey.

Go inside.

Jin Ho is very sick.

He may...

He may really die.

I said, go inside.

What did you just say?

Jin Ho? Who's that?

Hey, you. I don't know who you are,

but you have the wrong person.

Let's go in.

Jina Custom Shoes.

Jina Custom Shoes' Kim Jin Ho.

Don't you know him?

- He's your son! - I said I don't know him.

Jin Ho is very sick.

He wants to see his mom.

Please, just once...

Please... Please meet him just once. I'm begging you.

What's your problem?

Get lost!

I'll call the police.

Wait. Please. I'm begging you.

I'm begging you!

Please meet Jin Ho just once.

I'm begging you! Please.

Please.

You've cut them off already.

Don't ruin everything. Be strong.

Hello?

Where are you?

Why weren't you answering your phone?

What is it? Is something wrong?

Jin Ho went into shock again.

What? What was that?

No... No!

No, Jin Ho!

(Kim Jung Guk, Kim Jin Ho)

Jin Ho.

Are you in paradise now?

You idiot.

What was the rush that you left without saying bye to me?

What am I supposed to do?

Couldn't you let me...

see you one more time before you left?

Dad.

Our Jin Ho went to you now.

You don't have to be lonely anymore.

Dad.

Tell Jin Ho...

that I'm fine...

and not to worry about me.

Tell him I'm sorry I wasn't there during his final moment.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Jin Ho. I'm so sorry.

The person you have reached is not available.

(Scratch)

How many times was that already?

They say you can't trust anyone.

Hello.

This.

So... Do you know the person who used to work here?

No, I don't.

She was a tall woman.

I've only worked here for a week.

Hello.

Hey, Ok Kyung!

How long must I do all the work by myself?

I'm exhausted, kid.

Hey. Are you dead?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey!

That's gross.

Why are you touching my face after cleaning toilets?

Goodness.

My gosh.

Now there's my old Ok Kyung.

Gosh. Forget it.

The dead are dead and gone. The living must go on living.

Do you know how hard Gemma worked...

to make Jin Ho a doctor?

She didn't eat or wear the things she wanted.

Every dime she made, she spent on his tuition.

She must have a lot of debt too. What will she do now?

You haven't heard any news about her mom, right?

Who cares?

She ran off with a guy and left her husband and kids.

Seriously, the pretty ones are always the problem.

My gosh.

That's offensive to the pretty one listening to you.

Gosh. Seriously. You're impossible.

Excuse me! Come clean the floor!

- Okay! - Okay! Okay, okay.

Gosh.

Hurry up.

- Where are we shooting? - In Studio A, ma'am.

This way please.

Wasn't that Jin Ho's mom?

Jin Ho's mom?

Jin Ho's mom.

Sun Hee. What is wrong with you?

I really think...

that was Jin Ho's mom.

You're such a troublemaker.

There are lots of people who look alike.

Seriously.

Hello, viewers. It's time for "Mini Interview."

Today, we have someone who led the shoe industry...

in our country.

Lora's CEO, Ms. Min Hee Kyung, is our special guest.

- Hello. - Hello.

I don't think I'd be exaggerating...

if I said you gave your entire life...

to designing shoes.

Is that correct?

That is a slight exaggeration,

but the concept of shoe design...

wasn't accepted by the public at the time.

However, I always had a dream...

that someday,

someone will appreciate my designs.

Is that someone your husband, Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang?

Which came first? Design or love?

I don't know.

Design?

Love?

Is it a secret?

The poet Yi Sang said...

a person with many secrets is rich.

I knew it.

You left a top university in order to study in Italy.

You met the chairman there...

and started your business when you returned.

Ma'am.

It's like a fairy tale.

Really?

It really is like a fairy tale.

Mom. You studied in Italy?

Why didn't you tell me?

Which university?

Okay, it's over, so get back to what you were doing.

My mom really is super cool.

No wonder all the girls want to be like you.

I should've gone with you to the shoot.

Dad.

I want to quit school...

and work with Mom.

Hey, Hye Bin. You said your dream was to be the best wife.

What got into you?

Well, sure, getting married isn't bad,

but I want to work too.

Don't be silly. Finish your studies.

Dad. You know I hate studying with a passion.

I want to either get married quickly and live happily ever after...

or be on TV like Mom and become famous.

That's right. We should make a toast.

I'll get the wine.

Miss!

That's right. Congratulations, Hee Kyung.

I hear the new casual shoes are a big hit.

You're finally showing the skills...

you gained while studying in Italy.

When did you get home?

How's Jin A?

She wouldn't even take a sip of water.

At least she had some porridge.

I ate it.

You brat. Why did you eat it?

I said to give it to Jin A.

It was my favorite pine nut porridge.

What? Can't your son eat it?

You used to make it for me all the time when I was a kid.

No, you won't let me eat this stupid porridge.

Grow up, will you? Grow up.

I did grow up. That's why I brought the porridge to Jin A.

Hey, baby.

Yes.

Seriously.

He's just crazy about girls. My goodness.

Gemma. Get up.

Aren't you going to say hi to your mom?

Get up!

Goodness.

You look terrible.

You look like a ghost.

How long will you live like this?

Will doing this make Jin Ho come back from the dead?

Snap out of it. I'm begging you!

I'm sorry.

Forget sorry. Get out there and make money.

You used everything you had saved up...

on Jin Ho's medical bills.

You don't have a penny.

What about the loans from the bank and the loan shark...

that you took out to pay his tuition?

What will you do about them?

You need to get it together and make money to survive.

What's wrong with you?

You know how hard it is for her.

Leave her alone.

Shut it! You get out there and make money too!

You're all grown up, but all you do is chase girls around.

I don't chase after them.

They chase after me.

Shut it!

Gemma. Listen carefully.

Jin Ho is gone now. Forget about him.

I know it's heartbreaking, but this is reality.

Don't cry. I'm sick of your tears!

You need to get it together. Be strong...

and smile as you work.

That's the only way you can live. That's what Jin Ho would want.

So get up and eat.

Please put away that picture of Jin Ho.

I'm hungry, Mom. Feed me.

- What? - Get out there and cook.

Stop nagging her.

She must be sick of it.

- You brat! - I'm hungry.

She never gets a break.

I know there's no one to blame, but still.

I'll do it.

What stew should we make?

Should we make kimchi stew that Gun Wook likes?

Do we have any tofu, Mom?

Yes, Gemma.

Let's forget about everything.

Eventually,

there will be good days.

It won't be cloudy and rainy all the time.

Once the storm passes, the sun will rise.

Have some fruit.

What is it?

Aren't you worried?

You lied on TV about going to college...

and studying abroad.

If you get exposed for lying about your education...

I didn't say it.

They repeated rumors that they had heard.

How did things go in Yeouido?

I met with Assemblyman Son briefly.

Gosh.

Politics is such a joke.

He thinks he's all that now that he's an assemblyman.

Think of all the work I did to make him an assemblyman.

I know.

It cost a lot of money too.

Did you borrow money from Lady Choi?

What?

Well, yes.

Don't worry about it. I'll pay it back soon.

Why did you use her money without consulting me first?

You know that evil woman killed several companies.

You should've discussed it with me first if you needed money.

You don't have money either.

If we want to enter the European market...

Don't get greedy.

Excessive greed is poison.

You're the one who told me to be greedy.

"Look at the big picture. Have some ambition."

I didn't tell you to be reckless.

It's too soon to enter Europe.

Honey.

You said you wanted to go into politics, didn't you?

You want to become an assemblyman.

Someone that ambitious wants to do politics...

while running a tiny shop?

Not a chance.

Why do you think corporations always expand?

It doesn't matter what's on the inside.

You have to expand and look like you're capable of big things.

You must pretend to be big in order to be accepted.

I'll let you go into politics.

I'll make you an assemblyman. It'll be a piece of cake.

Hee Kyung.

Do you still love me?

I get this feeling...

that the person before me...

is not the same Hee Kyung from the past.

But then again,

people always change.

Finish at 2 p.m. 2,100 dollars...

plus transportation allowance.

This one pays 2,500 dollars.

That's not bad.

(Yu Kyung)

Hi, Yu Kyung. It's been a while.

Gemma! I got a job!

I'm a manager at a Korean restaurant.

- What? - It's a new...

traditional Korean restaurant.

It's huge and really nice.

That's why I'm calling.

Hey. Put together your resume right now.

They're hiring more people this weekend.

Full time employees.

- Ma'am. - Coming.

Did you hear that, Gemma?

She called me "Ma'am."

I'm busy right now, so I'll call you later.

Get your resume together stat. Got it?

Okay, I will.

Okay.

What is it? Is there more?

Kim Gemma.

I'm out front. Let's meet.

Who's this?

Come out. You'll see.

Hello. Are you Kim Gemma?

- Yes. - I see.

First... Here's my card.

(Low interest loans, Mr. Yoo)

I'm the new person in charge of your account.

I looked over your file. You're very behind in your payments.

I'm sorry.

My brother had a sudden emergency.

That's your problem.

We've got to collect the money that we already lent you.

I have to do as I'm told.

I don't know the details.

They say you have a week...

to pay everything back.

A week?

You seem like a nice person.

Let's not make this ugly.

Friendship grows when you're courteous to each other.

Okay?

I'm sorry,

but can't you give me a little more time?

Darn it.

What's wrong with this brat?

Hey, you.

We've been very patient with you.

Next. Come in.

Good luck.

Your blouse.

You have no experience waiting on tables.

Coffee shops, pizza places, amusement parks,

convenience stores. All gig jobs.

You've had countless gig jobs.

Yes. I've worked hard.

Working hard isn't the same as being good at your job.

It'll be hard if you aren't detail oriented.

You must be the clumsy type.

No, I'm not.

You don't keep promises...

and steal people's money regularly. Am I right?

You have no memory or reliability.

When I do it, it's a mistake. When others do it, it's wrong.

We won't hire you. Look elsewhere.

- Sir. - You may go.

Excuse me. Forgive me if I'm out of line,

but how much do you know about me?

I don't want to work for someone...

with no manners or consideration who criticizes and hurts people...

just because he doesn't like them.

You don't even know me.

How could you insult me like that?

You're unqualified to be the CEO of a large restaurant like this.

Am I wrong?

How well do I know you?

I know you're so shameless...

that you scratch someone else's car and ignore his calls.

It doesn't take much to figure out a person, Ms. Kim.

I'm sure I was insulted...

way before you were.

I'm sorry.

Wait. Sir.

I don't know what happened, but Gemma is a hard worker.

She's my friend.

Sir.

Darn it.

- Sorry. - How could this happen?

What happened between you two?

Do you know my boss?

It's a long story.

I was wrong.

I should've called, but I didn't.

This is so annoying.

Hold on.

Hey. Where are you going?

I came to tell you something.

If you give me the receipt, I'll reimburse you for the repairs.

Forget it. Please leave.

Why didn't you call?

I called several times, but you didn't pick up.

You went off the grid back then because you didn't want to pay.

And now, you don't want to even explain yourself.

It's probably a pathetic excuse anyway.

My little brother died.

It was very sudden.

Things were too hectic with the funeral,

so I didn't think of calling you.

It was my fault. I apologize.

I'm sorry.

Hey... Wait.

Sorry, miss.

I know your brother's birthday passed,

but he'll be happy even if you give them to him now.

I won't charge you.

Jin Ho...

What happened?

Why is Lora selling shoes that look exactly like my design?

Did you by chance...

Seriously!

Do you think I started this business yesterday?

Why can't you trust people?

But it's too weird.

- Every little detail... - Get a clue!

No one copies other people's designs anymore!

Do you think you're the only design student?

I made them for you for free because I felt bad.

- Mr. Kim. - Get out!

Stop wasting my time!

Look. Take a look.

They are way too identical!

I know nothing about it! Nothing at all! Darn it.

Mr. Kim!

They copied my design.

They couldn't have made it look so identical otherwise.

I'll see you later, Grandma.

So, how's work?

I'll have to work hard.

Don't expect instant success.

See you later.

Your eldest grandson is so reliable, isn't he?

He may be reliable,

but he doesn't compare to my late son.

He and I both have terrible fates.

Here you go.

Hello?

Yes, Mr. Ko.

What?

You found him?

Who are you here to see?

I'd like to see the person in charge of men's shoes.

Which company are you with? You got an appointment?

I need to tell the person in charge...

that they stole my design.

No. This isn't a place where anyone can come in.

- I'll be quick. - Leave.

- I'll be right out. - Hey.

- You don't have an appointment. - But it's important.

- I'll be quick. - Don't be unreasonable.

- Sir. - Hey.

- Just let me in. - Why you...

What's the ruckus?

I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman.

Get out.

Hey.

Lora stole my design!

Down to every little detail.

Hey, miss.

Hundreds of similar designs come pouring out every day.

If everyone insists that they designed something,

what company could make anything?

If you're so upset, hire a lawyer...

and sue us.

- Get rid of her. - Yes, sir.

Wait. You'll know if you see this.

This is proof! They're identical!

Get out of here!

Dad!

(Red Shoes)

"Dad?" She's their daughter?

Excuse me. Ma'am?

Where's Choi Sook Ja?

Grandma. I'm here.

The girl who took me to the hospital works at the restaurant?

Aren't you going to ask how my grandmother is doing?

She invited you over for dinner.

Is dinner ready?

We're expecting a very important guest.

- Hello. - Gemma.

So this is why you brought me here.
