(Episode 38)

Come here.

Don't worry. It'll all work out.

It's too late.

Everyone is badmouthing my mom.

What right do they have?

How could they put Lora's name on that piece of garbage?

Hye Bin. This was Ms. Min's fault.

- She okayed it... - That's not true!

There's no way!

How could Mom okay something so substandard?

Have you seen anything get done without her consent?

I'll be straight.

The newest shoes are the absolute worst.

Ms. Min has definitely lost her touch.

If you care about your mom,

return to the shoes division and design the shoes yourself...

and save Lora Shoes.

No.

My mom isn't finished yet.

That is irrelevant.

What matters is...

that you should stay by her side and protect her.

Come here.

But what I really want...

isn't to protect Lora Shoes,

but you.

You.

You can't think you're still the queen of shoes.

What?

You must have heard people talk behind your back.

That you're not the same as you used to be.

That you've lost your touch.

No.

It wasn't my fault.

Those losers just couldn't keep up with me.

Stop making excuses.

Everyone in the industry...

No. The entire world knows Lora Shoes is a has been.

No.

That's not possible.

Min Hee Kyung...

is not dead yet.

I won't die this easily.

Who am I?

I'm Lora's...

Min Hee Kyung.

Hello, Ms. Park.

Did you read the interview?

I sent a copy of the magazine to your office, so take a look.

The picture came out very nicely as well.

Thank you.

Did you send a copy to our chairman and our CEO?

Of course.

(Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang)

("I'm a monster in this industry. I have no pedigree or connections.")

(An honest interview with Kim Gemma)

(An honest interview with Kim Gemma)

(Kim Gemma)

(Kim Gemma, Designer at Lora)

(Economic Magazine)

- Hello? - Is this Kim Gemma?

Yes.

I'm Oh Sung Hee, the GM of Design at Lulu.

Are you free to have tea with me?

What is it about?

You'll find out when we meet,

but I'd like to discuss scouting you.

(What about your birth mother? Where is she now?)

The person who gave birth to me?

I'm sure she's doing fine somewhere.

I heard she was living happily in a rich family.

Don't you miss her or resent her at all?

Well, she isn't my mom as far as I'm concerned.

She gave birth to me. That's all.

My mom who raised me until now...

is my only mom.

I'd like to use this interview...

to tell that person who gave birth to me...

to wait.

That I'll make that last gift she gave me...

with my own hands and will go to her.

The last gift? What was it?

I'm sure she'll know what it is.

Since she dumped my dad,

my brother, and me with that gift.

You witch.

You conniving witch.

How dare you say that in front of my husband?

(Ms. Min Hee Kyung)

Why didn't you tell her everything?

That your mom is Min Hee Kyung?

You're right.

I only gave birth to you. I'm not your mom.

Hye Bin is my only daughter.

You know that, but you gave an interview like that anyway?

Why?

Did you want people's cheap pity?

Did you want to hide the fact that you had no skills...

with that?

That interview...

The cheap pity...

got me a job offer from another company.

What?

True.

You must've been afraid that the chairman would find out.

That's right.

Does Hye Bin know?

If I marry Ki Seok, we'll be in-laws.

Get over yourself.

You? Marry Ki Seok?

That old lady who lives for her grandkids...

will never accept you as her granddaughter-in-law.

You can crawl your way up until your fingers bleed,

but you'll never make it there.

You don't stand a chance at marrying him.

We will get married.

Gemma. You did very well.

I came to congratulate you on the interview.

I guess you saw it already.

Mr. Yoon. Heed my warning.

If you planned to marry someone like her...

Why don't you...

warn yourself?

I'll take care of myself.

- If Lady Choi finds out. - That's none of your business.

Didn't the interview make it clear...

just how hurt and angry Gemma must've been?

A mom who gave birth to a child should...

Let's go.

So what?

What did I do wrong?

Tell me.

Tell me. I want you to tell me.

What did I do wrong?

Giving birth to that witch.

Yes.

That was what I did wrong.

I didn't give birth to her because I wanted to.

Not every mom in this world...

has a baby because she wants to.

Some children are unwanted.

I...

curse my body.

I curse the fact that I gave birth to that witch!

Gemma.

Why did you come?

To see this pathetic scene?

Would I have come to see that?

I told you.

I came to congratulate you. I wanted to surprise you.

I showed up just in time like a knight in shining armor.

What would you have done if I hadn't come?

Who knows what she may have done to you?

I bet she fears me more than I fear her now.

You should go. Someone may see.

So what?

I wouldn't mind if people saw and got you fired.

Hey.

You look even prettier today.

Should I abduct you and run away together?

Whatever. You don't have the guts.

What do you mean? I'll do it.

Fine. You should go.

I'll call you later.

Stop by later. I'll be waiting.

Do you still have something to say?

Be honest with me.

Do you honestly like Ki Seok?

Or do you like his money?

Money?

I knew it. I was right.

You seduced him for his money.

So? What does that have to do with you?

I won't become in-laws with a conniving jerk.

And strictly put, it's Grandmother's money.

Admit it's for his money.

That it was why you hit on Ki Seok and acted close to his grandmother.

That you did it to look good.

Fine.

I'll admit it.

That none of this was for money, but for love.

Give me a break. It was for his money.

This is why I can't stand poor people.

You're all fake.

The true fakes...

aren't poor people but you jerks who reek of rotting money.

You...

should guard your stinky money...

and your love.

So cool.

I'm going to step outside.

Oh my gosh. Where are you going?

You look great.

Do I?

Of course. You look great.

Think about the TV shows.

Chefs are super cool.

Should I grow a beard too?

No.

Definitely not. Never.

Where are you going all decked out like that?

Our break will be over soon.

I'll be back before then,

so please do not worry, Manager Jung.

See you.

(Kim Gemma, Designer at Lora)

Gosh. She's incredible.

Stick it into the loop like so...

Come in.

Hello.

Amor mio.

What is that guy's deal?

This guy's name is So Tae Gil.

Oh my gosh.

What? So Tae Gil?

Hi, Mom.

Are you still at work?

I'm behind on some work.

Actually, I'm going to be home a little late.

You have plans?

I see. Okay.

She has plans with Mr. Yoon.

It's understandable. It's a happy day.

I'm sure they want to be alone.

Oh well.

Eat up.

Let's eat until our bellies explode.

Okay.

- Mother, we're home. - Hi.

How are you all coming together?

Mr. Yoon said he had something important to do...

and said to close early.

How important is it that he closed early?

Anyway, that's good.

We can all eat together.

Okay.

This tastes great.

What's wrong, Gun Wook?

My stomach suddenly hurts.

Are you okay?

Oh no. Gun Wook.

I feel sick.

Oh no.

Why are you having morning sickness when I'm fine?

I must love you too much.

I'm getting morning sickness for you.

What do we do?

I wondered what I should do.

It's awkward and embarrassing.

I'm a loser when it comes to these things.

- Gemma. - Ki Seok.

This is...

too soon.

I don't want...

to make you miserable too.

I don't want...

to drag you into our fight.

I don't want you...

getting hurt...

and ruining yourself.

I'm going to stand by your side now.

I'm going to protect you.

Marry me.

Give me an answer.

Ki Seok. But...

Forget what she said.

Don't worry about Grandma.

I told you.

I can't let go of my revenge.

I'll make you forget it.

I'll turn the wounds...

in your heart into happiness.

I love you.

Me too.

Jin Ho.

I was proposed to today.

I thought I'd be happy,

but it feels weird.

Dad.

He wants to get married.

What should I do?

Hello, Ms. Min.

Good timing. I was lonely drinking by myself.

Have a drink with me.

Stay for a while.

I'm leaving.

Why?

Do you not like drinking wine with me anymore?

If I was too harsh...

about the new shoes, forgive me.

You were right.

The queen of shoes, Lora's Min Hee Kyung.

However,

your era has ended.

You need to accept that.

What are you trying to do?

Are you mocking me?

You never give up. I respect that.

But you must accept reality in order to make progress.

Am I wrong?

Time will not wait for you.

If you're late,

the bus will leave.

Say it!

When will you stop being stubborn?

Must you hit rock bottom for you to come to your senses?

Why would I hit rock bottom?

Do you know who I am?

Who are you?

You really are a charming woman.

I pity you and you're adorable.

You're filled with ambition and never give up.

This is why I love you.

Min Hee Kyung. You're finished.

Lora's Min Hee Kyung is finished.

It's all that brat's fault.

Gemma.

You want to get married?

What... With whom?

With Gemma.

Did you propose?

Yes. Last night.

- Congrats. - What do you mean, "Congrats"?

He's older than I am.

It's better for him to get married before I do.

Get in there.

- Grandma. - Gemma isn't the girl for you.

You like her too.

You were happy living with her.

Are you getting married for me?

Get married for yourself.

- It'll make both you and me happy. - Not me.

I won't like it if you marry Gemma.

I won't be happy.

Is it because of her interview in the magazine?

That was...

I'm going to lie down.

What? He proposed?

Let me see. I want to look.

That's great. It really is.

When are you getting married?

Soon?

We should take our time.

What for? You should get married right away.

Gun Wook should go first. They've been together for years.

I haven't even proposed yet.

Anyway, congrats.

What is wrong with you lately?

Do you feel sick?

He keeps dry heaving.

Go see a doctor.

Come in.

Amor mio.

Hello.

Hey, you.

Hey!

Hey.

What is wrong with you?

Pardon?

Why are you doing this?

Why are you coming to my office and annoying me twice a day?

Amor mio?

Do you even know what that means?

- My love. - Oh my goodness.

I'm speechless.

Who is?

Who is whose love?

Have a nice day.

Hey, you! I'm talking to you!

Seriously. What is his problem?

He's a total stalker.

So please give me a little time.

You know me. You know I won't give in.

Okay. Have a nice day.

Ms. Yeo.

You stopped production on the new product, right?

Get a new design and...

I said if you don't have one, steal one.

These stupid morons.

They have rocks for brains.

(CEO Min Hee Kyung)

What? He proposed?

Yes. So I was thinking...

we'll have to push our wedding back a little.

He's older. So...

No.

Are you insane?

We're engaged.

This isn't the Joseon Era. Who cares about age?

Hey. Don't get worked up. Don't get angry.

How could I not get angry?

How do you think I'd feel if you say that?

Is it Ki Seok getting married first that you don't like...

or the fact that he's marrying Gemma?

Both!

What? Push the wedding back?

I'm so angry.

I can't stand her.

She came to Lora and pushed me out,

and now she's trying to become the granddaughter-in-law first.

Calm down.

He even proposed.

Actually,

I do have a way to stop them.

What?

Listen to this.
