Mr. Joseph!

Holy cow.

I didn't know Ji-eun's so popular. Cool.

-I'm a huge fan of yours. -Oh.

Can I have your autograph?

-Okay. -Nice!

Right here, in big letters!

Him? I'm all for it.

He isn't boring or passive.

He's rather confident, determined,

honest, brave, and has great taste.

He's just a stubborn little kid, full of bravado.

-And handsome! -That's true.

Couldn't you feel his refreshing, bubbly vibe?

He's basically a child.

That's why he's perfect!

His young age might be why he's bright and youthful,

quick to act, and sociable.

And when he smiles, his lip goes all the way up like this!

You noticed that, too?

He's adorable.

I like him way better than your snobby ex.

Does he look like a man to you, Jjoseph?

He's cute. That's all that matters.

Who's this cutie you're talking about?

Her new guy.

-Oh my. -I know, right?

Welcome, sir. This way, please.

I came alone today.

Understood.

Woo-min.

Stop working part-time like a nomad, and just work here full-time.

Why?

What the...

No one is as good as you at retouching.

The pay is regular, so all you need to do is work the same way you do right now.

You'll deal with some VIPs once in a while,

but you can take your own pictures all you want. How nice is that?

Just settle down here.

What's in it for me?

Well,

a bright future?

A bright future?

I'll take that as a yes.

So the contract...

By the way, what do you mean by deal with VIPs?

Birthday parties, engagements, weddings, talent shows, picnics, house parties!

Hey, wait a minute!

I don't want to do that!

THE VIP AND THE REGULAR

Sit.

Do you want champagne, too?

I'm okay.

Is there no way to renew our contract?

Who would've thought?

A VIP brand, a client for the last five years,

would cut us off because we blew JD's pictorial?

I have no excuse. I'm really sorry, Ms. Oh.

I guess we just lost half of our sales.

We didn't lose that much. We still have the domestic brands.

What's the point? We lost a VIP client!

Let's be honest.

That brand was the only reason why AUDREY became a luxury brand PR agency.

It's not like we made a lot of money off of this.

Pride and reliability as an agency

was our only driving force in this brutal fashion industry.

Ms. Oh.

What do we do now?

We might even have to represent a rice cooker.

"A rice cooker"?

It means we've downgraded!

I'm afraid to say,

we might have to close down AUDREY.

That's bitter.

Come on, Ms. Oh.

We can find another major brand!

There are tons of other luxury brands, and we'll surely find at least one.

I'll start searching.

What are you going to do?

I'll use all my connections. Ask friends or anyone around me.

Pyo Ji-eun and AUDREY,

let's show the fashion world we still got it!

Do you even have a plan?

Thank you, Ji-eun!

You, stop.

I said stop!

I know it's you. You're my husband's sugar baby.

Excuse me? "Sugar baby"?

Did you like all the lavish gifts and nice places he took you to?

As if you're a rich man's wife, right?

Lady, I don't even know who your husband is.

"Lady"?

How dare you call me a "lady"?

Are you insane? Do you have a death wish?

You bitch!

Did you just laugh?

Don't you dare.

I can make you vanish into thin air!

Who the hell are you?

Excuse me, noble ma'am. You can't ruin the show like this.

Especially as a VIP.

What?

This doesn't suit your style as a VIP.

See, this brand doesn't invite just anyone with money as a VIP.

Excuse me, there must be a mistake.

"Mistake"? Everyone in Cheongdam-dong knows.

They all saw you with my husband, so don't try to fool me, bitch!

-That hurts! -What's happening?

Did you just push me?

Hey, where are you going? Stop right there!

Do you know who I am?

Ouch! My neck!

Thank you.

It was unfair, wasn't it?

Back there, you could at least tell her she was wrong.

But you can't say that again here.

Among all the staff, models, and VIPs,

the rumor will circulate faster than you think.

"Model Jung Hye-na got slapped by her sugar daddy's wife."

"She was grabbed by the hair."

"She had to pay for the damaged clothes."

Such groundless rumors will be covered in Cheongdam Daily.

Soon enough, you'll find out how shitty it is.

So you don't have to feel so bad.

You didn't do it anyway.

There's no point in crying over a little incident.

Just let it go.

Ms. Ye, about last time...

Don't call me that.

You can call me by my name if you want.

Bye.

Yeonnam-dong, please.

He's sociable and has a bright future ahead of him.

He has such great energy that he'll do anything great.

What's with the flattery?

Not you, Woo-min. Ji-eun's new man.

-"New man"? -Yeah, she's blessed with dating.

From a hot shot to a handsome young boy.

It's time for her to get married.

You seem too happy.

Who is he?

Way better than her ex, Nam-jin.

And you don't even come close.

I'm excited just thinking about how he'll flirt with her.

When did she pick him up?

Is he the reason for her breakup?

I shouldn't have been there for her that night.

If I wasn't there, they would have...

slept together, right?

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah.

Joseph!

Come to the showroom quickly!

Why? Who's there?

It's Ms. Hong.

I'm hanging curtains with Woo-min.

But she's a VIP. Just come out, quickly.

Since when was Hong Ji-seon a VIP?

She wants to pick out JD's clothes.

So what, I have to go out to greet her?

She's just going to be nitpicking. I'm not going.

But it's for JD, Joseph!

Hey,

I got this covered. You should go to GD.

Not GD. It's JD.

Whatever. Bosh.

Smile.

Say your lines!

Ms. Hong!

Hello, Se-pyeong.

Ever since the show,

we've been wondering when you'd stop by, Ms. Hong.

Do you see anything you like?

A lot of people have mentioned

that our MR. JOSEPH collection for this season is unique.

Well, top celebrities have been reaching out to us for collaborations...

Oh, so this must be it.

I saw this all over Instagram

getting chewed out.

Right, Se-pyeong?

You surely have great taste. Would you like me to prepare that for you?

From here to there.

And there to there.

I'll take everything, so ring them up, Se-pyeong.

Everything?

Oh my gosh, Ms. Hong!

Keep bowing.

She's probably watching you through her rearview mirror.

Is she gone?

Yeah.

We're trying so hard.

We are so desperate.

Yes, but

we sold 89 pieces!

We broke the daily sales record.

Want a party?

But you know, AUDREY is very good at handling events.

You're out of budget.

BELLE STELLAR EDITION V

But ma'am,

if you work with one agency for too long,

you might lose your taste.

In the fashion world, AUDREY is best known for our ideas.

You still have a year left on the contract?

Can we at least give a presentation to you?

Influencer marketing only?

And only on Instagram?

MEETING SOJIN

INCOMING CALL NAM-JIN

AUTHENTIC CHINESE

Did you order?

Two jajangmyeons and dumplings.

I heard you're working full-time now, is that true?

It kind of just happened. For a bright future.

The only good thing about you was answering my calls.

I guess I can't do that anymore.

You're useless now.

If I'm useless, why did you call?

You missed me?

Thank you.

I called you for mixing my noodles. It tastes better when you do it.

I want to enjoy it.

Using me like this to kill time, right?

My life is full of stress and no fun.

I should at least eat something tasty.

Joseph told me you've had a stroke of luck lately.

Oh, that?

Are you bothered?

Over a girl that makes me mix her noodles for her?

Gosh.

Hello?

Ji-eun, you haven't saved my number?

I texted to see if you got home okay.

Oh, did you?

-It's the guy. -That's the guy?

Next time, call me directly when you want to drink, not anybody else.

I like it straightforward.

Is that so?

And since you're so popular, I thought about it.

Today will be our first day together, how's that?

First day of what?

Actually, that night was our first day for me,

but you passed out.

So let's make today our day one.

As a fling, boyfriend, girlfriend, sister,

brother, darling, or honey.

He wants to make today our day one together.

Wow, I really needed a laugh today,

and you made my day.

-Funny. All right, day one for whatever. -Nice!

Today's day one then!

But well, I'm about to eat jajangmyeon, so I gotta go.

Let's dig in!

Hey!

Ji Woo-min!

Woo-min!

What's up with him?

What the...

Are you guys getting back together?

No way, I'd rather die than let that happen.

Don't be so sure.

From the way you squabble, I can tell it's a fling.

I called him over to mix my noodles,

but he just poured red pepper powder.

Jeez.

I don't get it.

What do I do with you two?

I wouldn't have missed it if I had known.

But now I'm relieved.

It's safe! Reliable!

Stronger knees! Stronger bones!

From the age of 60 to 80.

The medical insurance for your bones.

No questions asked.

Call us now at 0588-6868.

That's 0588-6868.

CONGRATULATIONS, MS. JANG

That hit the spot.

Chocolate ice cream is the best when your sugar is low.

Perfect timing, you two.

You look amazing, ma'am!

Making a comeback with a commercial.

You're just on another level.

I was just trying to help my friend's son's company.

And they wanted me in their commercial.

That's something not just anyone can do. You have to be on that level!

I guess you're right!

Did you know you need

an insurance agent license to be on an insurance ad?

Wow, is that so?

Stupid regulations!

But since you memorized your scripts well,

tests like this is a piece of cake, right?

Hey, that was long ago.

That's right. It was a lifetime ago.

By the way, what brings you here?

Your connections.

Could you talk to them for us?

About what?

Not Hepburn, just AUDREY!

No, it's not laundry, AUDREY.

Yes, the luxury brand agency, AUDREY.

Is Peter in charge?

But you're higher up than him, right?

Yeah, that's why I called.

They're just amazing.

Alex hates them?

AUDREY's CEO crossed you?

Oh.

I didn't know that.

Was it that bad? What did she...

Why would she do that?

Excuse me, she needs to go now.

She's on an important call.

Right, but everyone's waiting for her.

I said it's an important call.

Okay.

-Wait, are you... -That's right.

I knew it! DOUBLE BELLS!

-You got so much prettier! -Come on!

SELL YOUR ITEM

SELLING A T-SHIRT SIGNED BY THE FAMOUS DESIGNER JOSEPH!

50,000 WON NON-REFUNDABLE

Chief photographer!

Nice to meet you.

-I'm not the chief. -An assistant, then? That's fine.

My perfect looks will make up for what you lack in skill.

Don't feel too pressured.

I wonder if you're the same as everyone else.

Everybody says I give them creative inspiration.

It may just be for my profile pictures, but you shouldn't take it lightly.

It might be a chance for you, too.

If I become big one day,

your pictures will get some recognition too,

then boom!

Let's get started.

I say 100,000 won.

I think the price is reasonable

since you're just an assistant photographer.

I'm ready.

About that "boom,"

I should let somebody else take it.

I shouldn't have come.

Wait a minute! Okay, I get it.

-I'll add 10,000 won. -Thanks for your time.

What the heck! 120,000 won!

Oh, come on.

I'm a broke college student!

150,000 won for a profile picture

is a huge investment for me. It's from my part-time job.

Please!

I really need to pass this audition.

-Please! -All right.

You look like a movie star!

All right, fine.

Do you have a girlfriend?

How about I read your face?

Look at that jawline.

I can tell you're the kind of guy

who's way too confident in their looks.

Handsome men like us struggle

to make the first move.

Am I right?

Love doesn't stay still, so don't just sit around for it.

You have to make a move and show your feelings.

When she least expects it, you take action!

That's the secret.

That's how I met her.

My future girlfriend.

-Thanks for today. -You're leaving already?

Hey!

What's this? You said he was a VIP.

Mr. Photographer, please edit the photos nicely!

Party tonight. Sounds good?

RIDE OR DIE JOSEPH

-Huh? -Record high sales party!

-Sounds good! -Everyone has to come.

Got it, Woo-min?

Ppyoji, I know you're busy with work, but please come.

Why me?

It's Ppyoji!

-Ppyoji! -It's Ji-eun!

-Attack! -Stop it!

-Hey! Woo-min, take this! -Attack Woo-min!

I've loved all pretty things since I was little.

I only dressed in pretty clothes and wanted pretty things.

My mom said she had a hard time raising me since I never stopped talking about them.

But she also said recognizing pretty things was my talent.

I came all the way here just because of those words.

I guess we're kinda pretty.

My childhood was totally different. I just played soccer with Woo-min.

I like my job.

In the fashion field,

I'm always surrounded by pretty things.

Even if it's just a t-shirt,

the person who made it and the person who'll wear it are connected.

And I'm proud I get to be in the middle as a bridge.

I'm really proud of us too.

But the thing is...

A, B, C, D!

Life as a "D class"

is a little too harsh, don't you think?

It is.

What's he doing?

That's crazy!

Go, Ji Woo-min!

Very good!

A bidding pitch?

I can't believe it!

Every cloud has a silver lining.

RUBLANI picked us specifically

to prepare a bidding pitch!

Ji-eun, isn't this a huge success if we win a contract with RUBLANI?

-What a blessing in disguise! -It sure is...

You must have talked to friends, right?

I didn't expect it to be a guy.

Who are you talking about?

Come on. Everyone in fashion knows about it!

That guy that was featured with you in the Cheongdam Daily.

Lee Nam-jin, the CEO of RUBLANI!

-What? -No need to be shy.

I said hi to him at Cheongdam Fashion Circle. Remember?

I saw you two having a private conversation.

I'm not the only one. Ms. Hong saw it, too.

No way she would keep quiet about it.

Wait, I heard you broke up with him.

I guess not?

Ms. Oh, he's...

I asked around,

and it turns out that Lee Nam-jin chose us for the bidding.

Right? The moment I got the call from RUBLANI,

I knew right away

that this was what Ji-eun was talking about!

It wasn't me...

What do you mean it wasn't you?

INFASHION, CRYSTAL, and us.

They only invited these three.

They're the top in the industry, on another level.

Without you,

we wouldn't have gotten the bidding pitch.

And Cheongdam Daily reported they're just going to be our sidekicks.

Way to go, Ji-eun!

-Way to go! -Way to go!

This way, please.

I'm honored you reached out to me first.

What's with you?

Have a seat first.

Were you the one that picked AUDREY for the RUBLANI bidding?

For all these years I've been working in this field,

whether it be little tricks or just a last-ditch effort, I did it myself.

I've managed to grow and come so far.

And I'll keep going.

So who do you think you are to mess with that?

I guess we didn't date for too long.

That's not what I'm talking about here.

I thought I got to know you pretty well over that time.

But you still don't know much about me.

I separate my professional life from a personal one.

AUDREY was selected,

but you had nothing to do with it?

It was handled by experts and staff members.

The decision was made at their will.

You earned that chance on your own.

No need to be upset with me. Just do your best.

Well, it won't happen.

Your name was thrown into the mix.

You should know.

No matter how hard I try with this pitch for the bidding,

your name will get dragged in.

If we win, it's because we're dating.

If we lose, they'd assume we broke up.

Either way, my effort will have been in vain.

So how am I supposed to prepare for the pitch now?

What people think,

what people say,

is that what matters to you?

At Cheongdam Fashion Circle,

why did you follow me out?

It's a place full of people in the fashion field,

and everybody was watching...

I missed you.

That's why I did that.

This is so embarrassing.

I'm leaving.

Ji-eun.

Nice seeing you.

Good luck.

Here we go!

When you're sad and upset, when there's no way out,

shout it out. Don't cry about it.

See? It's gone, right? You feel better, right?

I guess I do feel kind of better.

See, it was I, Ji Woo-min,

who took care of Pyo Ji-eun's grief and woes.

No way. It was the swing boat that did everything.

INCOMING CALL JI WOO-MIN

What is it?

Where are you?

Why do you care?

Why did you call?

Hey, Woo-min,

why aren't you saying anything? Hey!

Want some ice cream?

Pistachio?

I want Cherries Jubilee.

Okay!

Look at you, all sad.

Here.

Why are you always so immature?

Get over here!

Hey!

-Come here! -Wait!

Hey!

I always end up choosing pistachio over other flavors.

You're used to it, that's why.

Maybe I only like stuff that I'm used to.

That makes you comfortable, right?

Is that why I'm comfortable with you?

You've never really missed me, have you?

Why would I miss you?

I can see you any time.

Am I your regular diner?

That you can just visit anytime?

No, I'm your regular diner.

So, you can come by any time.

If there are no VIP privileges, I'm not interested.

You...

Let's go.

This diner's about to close.

I have a shoot tomorrow.

I'm full-time now.

Come here.

Hey, let go, you're heavy!

Come on, I'm not that heavy.

You're really heavy!

Get over here!

Everything has been refunded.

Thank you.

Huh?

Esther, what's all this?

It's a refund request.

Slay.

That was Ms. Hong's assistant just now.

Bosh.

They returned 88 out of the 89 pieces.

This girl wants to fight, right?

I'm sorry, Joseph. I wasn't able to protect you.

Hong Ji-seon, I'll have my revenge!

Ji-eun!

The RUBLANI presentation.

The pitch will be decided by VIP voters.

"VIP voters"?

They'll have VIPs from Houn Corporation

vote and decide the representative agency.

The pitch will be held with a launch party,

and they want us to show how worthy the brand is.

Is it a real competition? We were not their pick?

I told you. We have to prepare properly.

But still, you have friends that you can talk to, don't you?

You said the VIPs will be voting! I don't have any VIP friends.

Hey! How are we supposed to beat the top agencies?

They're in the top spot!

We can outcompete them.

Let's give it a shot!

I'm about to lose my mind.

Are you stalking me or something?

Hello to you, too, Ji-eun. Wow, this is heavy.

I have no time to play around.

Come on. You've been ignoring my texts. That's why I came.

Just let me help you with this one.

Then, thank you, I guess.

You remember how many days it's been since our first day together?

Our first day of being strangers?

My gosh. My Ji-eun is so witty.

Calling my name is weird enough, but you're adding "my" as well?

Is it wrong?

"Ji-eun" is just another word for girlfriend.

It's like calling you baby or honey.

Gosh.

If you really want us to be each other's honey or baby or whatever,

don't you think we need to be equal?

Equal?

You have a lot of free time to come here whenever you want,

but I'm always busy with the job.

No time to fool around with you, kid.

Don't expect any interactions whatsoever.

If you do this again, I'll report you as a stalker.

Why don't you like me?

Thanks for the help.

Can't I just stick around you, Ji-eun?

Ji-eun! Drive safe!

See you later, Ji-eun!

Move that a little more to the left.

RUBLANI EVENT GOODS

To the center, please.

A little more towards the center, please.

Yes, there. Perfect.

This looks great. Good work, Ji-eun!

Indeed, outdoor parties are the way to go.

It's so pretty.

INFASHION chose the Diamond Hall,

and CRYSTAL chose Club Max, which is in the basement.

So luring the VIPs to come outside might be a bit difficult for us.

But the others only focused on jewelry and shoes.

Our focus is on the overall brand campaign.

Sounds fun, don't you think?

They've got class and elegance, but that's all.

But elegance is one of the foundational values of RUBLANI.

We need that, too.

You know, I was so nervous today. It's so exhausting. Let's go.

You go on ahead. I'll do some final checks.

It'll be more hectic tomorrow.

-Let's do this! -We can do this!

We got this!

SEON-HO A RIDE-OR-DIE?

WOO-MIN I'M AT A SHOOTING NOW

JOSEPH DAMN HONG JI-SEON!

SEON-HO I'LL HAVE FUN BY MYSELF

Nam-jin.

I thought nobody was around since the lights were off.

Am I putting you in trouble again?

No.

I'm sorry for being too dramatic the other day.

And thank you for making the pitch an open vote.

You gave me a proper opportunity.

You told me not to do anything,

but I had to do something.

-Is everything all set? -Yeah.

I'll do everything I can.

Me too.

I also want to do everything I can for you.

The woman who gives her all to what she loves,

the woman who's proud of her job,

that's the Pyo Ji-eun I wanted.

I want to be with you.

Please give me a proper chance, too.

Nobody would appreciate your true value but me.

You should go.

You're the CEO of RUBLANI.

And I'll be competing at the pitching for RUBLANI PR agency in Korea.

People would gossip.

Okay.

Your chauffeur's here.

Hey, Woo-min,

you'd better not expect anything in return for this.

No, I just came out of my own will.

I guess this is what friends are for.

Tomorrow's a big day for me.

If it starts raining, you have to set up a tarp in the sky for me.

I prepared a great speech.

That's not all.

I'll go beg God himself on my knees to stop raining, so don't worry.

Gosh, don't get knocked over by God, begging on your knees.

Actually, I need to tell you something.

What is it now?

What nonsense is it going to be this time?

I want to be more honest.

Yeah, you need that, some honesty.

I...

I've been thinking.

I want us to get back together.

If I let this go, I might not get another chance.

Let's stop being friends...

So it's #Joseph, or just Joseph?

It's MR. JOSEPH.

-This outfit is fantastic. -Genius designer.

Perfect outfit.

This is real, right?

It's real. Congratulations, Joseph!

Oh, bosh.

I should go to Ji-eun's party.

JD's coming, so dress up, Joseph.

All right!

Yes, right this way.

Ji-eun, it looks like it'll rain.

Are you sure they aren't my tears?

No way. It'll stop after just a couple of drops.

Please stop arranging the flowers! Come on out!

Ms. Yang, get out of there!

If it starts raining,

you have to set up a tarp in the sky for me.

I prepared a great speech.

Where are you going?

Woo-min, wait up!

Hey, Woo-min!

The VIPs will be entering in two hours.

We still have time.

Ji-eun,

it was unexpected.

Nobody saw this coming. It's not our fault.

No one will criticize us for giving up.

Let's stop here.

We have to do what we can, Ms. Oh.

We've been through this a lot, a sudden change in concepts on rainy days.

You're right.

But this is different.

There's nothing we can't do.

You said we do everything at AUDREY.

Right!

Get up.

Everyone gather round.

Ji-eun, what do we do? Where do we start?

First, let me make a few calls.

Everyone come here!

Cheer up, we got this!

Ms. Yang, you get out there...

This is nice.

I'm sorry, may I see your invitation?

-Invitation? -Yes, ma'am.

I'm her stylist, Hong Ji-seon.

I see.

You're not a VIP.

-Just wait here. -What?

No, JD, wait!

JD?

-Excuse me. -Oh.

Oh my, this is embarrassing.

What's up with her?

I think she's JD's stylist,

but she doesn't have an invitation.

Thank you.

Hello...

I was in Canada.

Jeez.

She's a guest, so please let her in.

Me?

Break a leg, Ji-eun.

Good evening, everyone, I'm Pyo Ji-Eun from AUDREY.

You might think what AUDREY is presenting here

might not be suitable for RUBLANI,

a luxury brand.

Due to unexpected weather,

we had to make adjustments to the original theme.

Today's theme is the joy of clients.

Thanks to you,

RUBLANI is launching in Korea.

We sincerely hope you thoroughly enjoy AUDREY's party.

Yes!

Applause!

What's over there?

Oh my.

JD, let's dance!

Hey, this is...

I was in shape back then. Take a look.

That's crazy.

And it went out like this.

I'll be right back!

You guys!

Thank you so much!

I couldn't have done it without you guys.

This is nothing for party animals like us.

But the star of the day is...

Woo-min.

I wouldn't have even imagined something like this without you.

So was the mission accomplished?

This was all thanks to you.

The DJ and the model were amazing.

Today, the AUDREY party got the highest number of VIP Instagram posts

of all three agencies.

Ji-eun, you really have some amazing friends.

Right!

That was nice!

I've wanted to do this since earlier.

Thank you, Woo-min.

Ji-eun.

I'll treat you for this later.

Ji-eun needs to head to the after party with Mr. Lee.

Oh...

Hey, Ji-eun!

Drama! What a drama!

-Wait... -She's having an after-party with us!
