Original subtitles

I see. She was just a bonus.

No, more like the free perfume samples in magazines.

A free sample.

Sometimes, a free gift is better than the main product.

Like an eco-friendly bag when you buy coffee.

But...

no connection trumps being the owner's child.

Am I wrong?

Why is she so annoying?

Gemma. Ms. Min says to come to her office...

with your design portfolio.

Pardon?

(CEO Min Hee Kyung)

You went to a design academy?

Yes.

You want to join the design team with these skills?

You got hired as an add-on.

How do you think I'd feel after hearing garbage like that?

I never said that.

You're a smart girl.

Smart people don't get blood on their hands.

They make others do it.

This is...

garbage.

I'll think about it if you bring me something decent.

Don't get ahead of yourself and think you'll be a designer.

Just get out of my face.

(CEO Min Hee Kyung)

She designed these?

Ms. Yeo. Come to my office.

You should sigh much more deeply than that.

Like this.

Your breath stinks.

Did you brush your teeth?

What? Didn't I?

You found Tae Gil, whom you missed so dearly.

You opened a store.

Gemma is doing well.

Why are you worried?

Sun Hee.

If you were Gemma,

how do you think you'd feel...

if you saw your birth mom?

Did they meet?

Gemma got a job at her company.

Oh my gosh. Did that woman hire her...

knowing Gemma was her daughter?

No. Lady Choi got her the job.

Oh my goodness. What ridiculousness is this?

Goodness.

Hey.

You didn't say you were coming.

You know I started my job today.

I suddenly missed you like crazy.

Goodness. You're such a child.

You know how grateful I am to you,

right?

Thank you, Mom.

I'll give you my entire first paycheck.

That's silly. Don't give it to me.

I opened this store thanks to you.

Thank you, Mom.

Goodness.

The mother-and-daughter love is overflowing like a river.

Are you having a party to celebrate your new job?

I'm waiting to buy you dinner.

Where shall I take you?

Anywhere.

You had something on you.

I washed my face and slathered on new lotion to look good.

What did I get on me?

Jokes like that are so not you.

We haven't decided where to go yet.

Is there anywhere you want to go?

Why do you keep looking at me?

The dress is pretty. It looks good on you.

I'm not sure who bought this for me,

but I think he has a pretty good eye for fashion.

Here. Eat up.

You must be tired.

Do I look tired?

I'm reminded of the day I gave my first lecture.

All the students were staring at me.

Their eyes filled with curiosity were shooting lasers at me.

Our team isn't that big.

Gosh. It had better be good.

It is.

Hey.

Hold on.

Ki Seok. What are you doing here?

Hey. I heard this place was good.

I wanted to congratulate Gemma on her first day at the job.

What's her deal? How annoying.

What's this?

It was also your only brother's first day,

but I didn't even get a "Congrats."

Gosh. Okay. Let's merge.

Let's merge and you pay.

Hye Bin! Come here! Let's sit with them!

My brother will pay!

- No. - Get over here, princess!

Hello.

It's been a while.

- Sit here. - Okay.

All right.

That's right.

You were eating.

Don't mind us. Keep eating.

You two look close.

Are you going out?

- No. - Yes.

Really?

For real?

Oh my gosh. No way.

You've got skills, Gemma.

How did someone like you seduce the CEO?

What's your secret?

- Hye Bin. - What? I'm right.

She's from a poor family, isn't educated, and has no money.

She has nothing,

and she was living in Lady Choi's house like a leech.

Then she got a job and seduced a CEO.

What a success story.

Gemma.

Gemma.

This way.

Hello. Sit back down.

Did Mr. Yoon and Ms. Kwon go somewhere?

They went to the storage room. They'll be right back.

Here.

That's right. You're Ms. Min's daughter, correct?

I'm Kwon Hye Bin.

My gosh. You look just like Ms. Min.

You have strong genes.

If you don't mind, may I get a picture of you together?

Hold on.

So... This is our latest design that we'll be launching.

Actually,

Hye Bin designed these.

(CEO Min Hee Kyung)

Those are mine. That's my design.

She hid it because she wasn't confident.

I found it by chance and stole it without her knowing.

That's right. You stole my design.

What a story.

You have a great eye.

How about a shot with the shoes between you?

Sure. Here.

I'm disgusted by the fact...

that a person like you gave birth to me.

I despise my young self...

when I called you my mom.

You probably did this countless times.

You stole the blood, sweat, and tears of young designers

and trampled on their dreams...

and snatched away their hope.

Gemma. Are you inside?

Do you feel sick?

I don't feel well.

Why did you follow me to the ladies room?

I didn't follow you.

You must envy Hye Bin a lot.

I do not.

If you envy someone, you lose.

I do not envy her.

Yes, you do.

Mr. Yoon.

Okay, fine. My bad.

But those new shoes...

Don't they look familiar?

I'm sure I saw them before.

Why don't you ask Ms. Kwon directly...

when she designed something so amazing?

I know I've seen it before.

Chef.

Gun Wook wants more bulgogi.

I'm on my break.

Still. Please make him some more.

No, I can't. I need to rest too.

He's your nephew.

Do you know what my life's motto is?

Eat well and live well.

Just me.

Oh my gosh.

Uncle. You've got my respect.

That's why you stole Mom's money and ran away when we were asleep.

I did no such thing.

You don't know anything.

What? I know everything.

When my mom got money from her savings club,

you took everything minus the money for my surgery and took off.

That money wasn't from a savings club!

I'm going to lose my mind here.

Fine. Double.

I'll make you a double order.

I didn't notice before, but he's super naive and cool.

Whatever.

He's cool? Give me a break.

What utter stupidity is that?

He'll end up killing people with his coolness.

Why do you always get worked up when I mention Tae Gil?

He's your brother. Your little brother.

I know he's my little brother. That fraud.

Do you know what he said to me?

He said he'll live with us in my house.

Here.

Good delivery, ladies.

I made this. Try some.

Oh my gosh. It looks delicious.

Tae Gil, you really are the best.

Did you find a place to live?

What?

I'm going to live with you.

I'll pay for my living expenses.

It's not about living expenses.

Gosh, girl.

Why are you so mean?

Then what? Should I move out?

Should I move out with your brother?

- What? - Sun Hee.

Gemma. Try it.

It's delicious.

I'm okay.

- You eat it. - She cherishes this...

but took it out just to feed it to you.

It's expensive.

Eat up.

Good, right?

Yes.

Good. So how was work?

Is it doable?

Yes. Thank you.

I won't forget what you did for me.

When you put it that way, you've done much more for me.

Yes... My gosh.

If Myung Jun had gotten married and had children,

my grandchild would've been about your age.

I wonder where he is and what he's doing.

I wonder if I could see him before I die.

Oh dear. What am I saying?

- Let's eat. Here. - Okay.

Lora copied my shoe design.

Did anyone else have the same thing happen to them?

(Group Chat)

What? Lora again?

I've met many people that Lora did that to.

I'm a victim.

I worked hard to design winter boots,

and they changed the color and material and launched them.

Me too. Summer sandals.

Rumor has it, they secretly get designs by academy students...

and copy them.

I sued and went to court,

but I lost. You need evidence.

Evidence?

How do I get evidence?

I want to sue them if I can.

It's probably possible if you can get into the CEO's office.

She keeps a copy of the tech packs that she copied.

It was irrefutable evidence, but I couldn't get my hands on it.

I wish you luck.

I'm sorry, M,

but can we meet?

I'll contact you later.

What are you doing?

Studying.

I need to work hard so I won't be looked down on.

I came to ask you to watch a late-night movie, but I guess not.

What bad timing.

I can go any other time in the future.

- How terrible. - I know.

Hello.

Come in.

Ms. Min. Have you seen the company bulletin?

What is it?

Well... Take a look.

(CEO Min Hee Kyung)

(Min Hee Kyung stole a design from a poor, unknown designer)

Min Hee Kyung stole a design from a poor, unknown designer...

and disguised it...

as a new product for Lora.

(Min Hee Kyung stole a design from a poor, unknown designer)

What... How...

What is this garbage?

Min Hee Kyung is a criminal.

She has been stealing designs of powerless people...

and manufactured and sold them as Lora's shoes.

The new product is also a copy of someone else's design.

She lied and said her daughter, Kwon Hye Bin, designed it.

("More Plagiarism Accusations Toward Lora")

Min Hee Kyung...

is fully responsible.

That is why I'm making these bold statements.

One. Let's manage the company conscionably and transparently.

Two. Min Hee Kyung must take full responsibility...

and step down.

Three. Let's protect the copyrights of designers.

The rumors must have been true.

Look.

The punching is slightly simpler,

but the shape and details are exactly the same.

Gemma, did you see this?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I'll delete the post...

and find the employee who posted it.

Don't make a big deal out of it.

Time will fix things like this.

Just get me the inventory details for A80.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, honey.

What will you do about the bulletin post?

The employees are talking about this nonstop.

Why do your employees care about this?

They should do their own jobs.

Is it true that you said Hye Bin designed something she didn't?

No, she did design it.

Tell me the truth.

I know my child.

Don't let this happen again.

Don't ignore my warning.

You made me come here just to say that?

Mom. Did you see the post?

What do I do?

I'm so embarrassed. How can I work here now?

Calm down.

I didn't even ask you to do it.

Why did you tell a lie like that and put me in this awkward spot?

Hyun Seok will think I was behind it!

You're so annoying!

Be quiet, Hye Bin.

How can I be quiet?

Wouldn't you be angry?

I'm going to quit.

I'll just go to the US as Dad said!

Watch your mouth.

Why am I taking on this risk? For whom?

Go to the US?

Do you want to lose our fortune to Ju Hyung?

Listen carefully.

I'll take care of it.

Me.

Who was it?

Who dared to mess with me?

Just wait.

I'll get you back twofold.

Ms. Jung.

You know we have a reservation for the VIP at six tonight, right?

Please give them extra attention.

Is it for Ms. Min of Lora?

- Yes. - Yes, sir.

Mr. So.

I mean, Chef.

Did you check the supplies? Do we have everything?

Yes, sir.

Okay. Please work hard.

I will.

Who's coming that he's making such a big deal?

Is a famous celebrity coming?

Assemblyman Son Young Ho, the next party leader, is coming.

Gosh. All those jerks ever do is fight.

Politicians are con artists.

We should make their food super spicy to make them wake up.

You'll make us go out of business.

I'm just saying.

Anyway, since the CEO of Lora and the chairman are coming too,

you need to show off your talent.

Who knows?

You may be selected to become the Blue House chef.

What?

What did you just say?

The Blue House chef.

No, not that. Who's coming?

Assemblyman Son Young Ho, Lora's CEO,

and Chairman Kwon.

What's wrong with him?

(I, So Tae Gil, will keep silent about this matter...)

An oath that you won't come to me again about this.

He wouldn't recognize me, would he?

So much time has passed.

What do I do?

Darn it.

Where are you going?

Must I tell my supervisor where I go after work?

If your supervisor asks, can't you just tell him?

It's past quitting time.

You're right. I'm no longer your supervisor,

I'm your nephew. Fake nephew.

Hyun Seok.

Hey. You left early today.

I know.

But I need you.

- Let's go for some drinks. - Drinks?

I'll go first.

Gemma, join us.

No. Don't.

- Let's go. - Hey.

We're at the office.

You need to be professional.

Whatever. Let's go. Come with me.

Seriously.

You can find it in the CEO's office.

If I can get into her office.

I know it'll be hard.

I hope you succeed.

(CEO's office)

Let's go.

You're wearing too much makeup.

We're meeting with our next party leader.

Our future is on the line.

Your future is on the line.

If I become an assemblyman,

who would come next?

You.

I said I'll let you go into politics.

Okay. So...

you need to win Assemblyman Son over right now.

Think about all the work we've put in until now.

Don't try to approach him as a woman.

Your outfit and makeup...

aren't those of a politician, but a celebrity.

For now.

Let's go, Mr. Chairman.

You're favored to win the election for party leader.

Congratulations.

That's nothing to be congratulated for.

I'm going to be the party's bulletproof vest.

Still, it is an important position.

Here.

Please try this.

It's good.

You get prettier by the day, Ms. Min.

You are a lucky man.

You have such a beauty for a wife.

You are too kind.

Assemblyman, once you become the party leader,

you can't forget our chairman, okay?

Of course, not.

I will nominate him as the top candidate no matter what.

Thank you.

Here.

There.

So... How's the food?

It's the best.

It's better than a three-Michelin Star restaurant.

The food and the service are top-notch.

Thank you.

Gosh.

Chef. Where are you going?

Mr. Yoon says to come to the VIP room.

What? The VIP room?

Why? Why me?

Assemblyman Son loved the food...

and wants to meet you.

Maybe to give you a tip.

What?

No. Tell him I left.

Don't be ridiculous.

Mr. Yoon said to go in.

- Darn it. - Chef So. Come in.

I'm really okay.

I'm in a rush.

- Go on. Hurry. - Wait.

Wait. Stop.

I'm going to lose my mind. Darn it.

This is nice.

They said they got the beans directly from Guatemala.

It has a distinct fragrance. Don't you agree?

It's nice.

It's very nice.

Come in.

He's our chef.

I apologize. I got oil in my eye while cooking,

so I had to wear sunglasses.

That was dangerous.

Anyway, today's dinner was good.

This isn't much,

but thank you.

Excuse me.

Wait a minute.

You seem familiar.

Have we met?

Which restaurant were you at?

This is his first restaurant.

It was nice meeting you.

What's wrong? Do you know him?

No.

I thought he was the chef at a restaurant I used to frequent.

He looks familiar for some reason.

Darn it.

Darn it.

Why are you wearing sunglasses at night?

I'm seriously going to lose my mind.

Why?

Do you know who's at Yangsan right now?

Jin A's mom. No.

Min Hee Kyung and her husband.

What?

Ms. Min.

I am very drunk tonight.

I don't know if I'm drunk on the mood or the alcohol.

I never knew just how charming you were.

Thank you for thinking so kindly of me.

Make some time for me.

You always treat,

so I'll treat you to something nice next time.

That sounds good. Anytime. I'll be waiting for your call.

I knew it. You and I really get each other.

Let's go.
