Let's go for round two!

Let's take a picture!

Here we go!

One, two, three!

-Make a funny face. -One more!

-One, two, three! -One, two, three!

-Huh? -What?

No...

Run!

Hey, what are you doing?

Get them!

Hey, stop right there!

Jeez.

Hey, stop!

Hey, to the left!

Stop right there!

Go down! Quick!

Hey, this thing's on.

-Where are they? -Find them!

Hey, hurry up!

Are they gone?

-Woo-min. -What?

Never mind.

Jeez.

Woo-min.

Date me.

-Guys! Woo-min! -Woo-min, Ji-eun!

-Ppyoji! Where are you? -Where did she go?

Hey, never mind, I was just kidding.

Where are you guys?

Okay.

Let's date.

Woo-min.

-Ppyoji! -Woo-min!

Look at them! This is crazy!

-What is it? -Look at them!

Oh, my God!

I said I only love you

Instead of all the words I had prepared

I'll always be by your side

I promise you as I look into the sky

-Woo-min! -Woo-min!

THE POP-UP SHOP AND THE TAILOR SHOP

How about one more bead?

Excuse me, Mr. Jo.

To work on this sample,

our entire staff had to work overtime for days.

All the designs you gave us had to be handmade.

Oh, thank you for your hard work.

Mr. Jo.

I've been running this bag factory in Seongsu-dong for over 20 years.

Let me give you some advice.

Mr. Jo, your designs are, how do I put it?

Delusional.

You need to make things you can sell.

It's way too different from the conventional designs.

There's a limit to straying away from tradition.

I bet this won't sell.

The production cost is similar to Chanel or Vuitton.

Am I wrong, Mr. Jo?

It's not Mr. Jo.

It's designer Joseph Jean, sir.

What's the difference?

We all put our name on the line for our business.

Don't you agree, Mr. Jo?

He's Mr. Jo, so I call him that.

See! He's not complaining!

Anyway, Mr. Jo, if it takes this much work,

we won't make a lot in a month.

Mr. Jo, if you're too stubborn about your design,

you'll end up going under. So, Mr. Jo-

"Mr. Jo"!

How many times did I hear that?

How dare he decide if it'll sell?

He only made one sample. Such a show-off.

What? It strays away from tradition?

Screw that!

Fashion is about change and evolution.

Esther, what else did he say?

-High-end, sir. -Highland?

He wouldn't know what high means.

Has he been to Eilean Donan Castle?

What does he know about the Highlands?

Joseph.

Not highland, high-end brand.

That's enough.

He said my design is delusional!

Bosh!

I've never seen a purse like this in my entire life.

Combining various materials,

with the structure, with the volume.

Not just anyone can do this.

You like Alexander McQueen, right?

This would put him to shame.

Yours is something more than high-end!

Don't give up on your creativity for money.

Just do what you want to do.

Whatever that may be.

Then the world will recognize how you shine.

Ma'am, if we look at the price point,

the purse's cost-performance ratio is too low for MR. JOSEPH's clients.

Then make it a special edition.

But what happens if it doesn't get sold?

It'll be a total humiliation.

I hope people will get to see this piece in some way.

Like a pop-up shop?

"A pop-up shop"?

You mean a flash retailer?

It will depend on how we do it,

but it's a good idea.

Excuse me.

Hello, Producer!

Congratulations, Mr. Lee.

Congratulations.

Thank you for coming.

It's a great flagship store that suits the brand image.

I look forward to your support.

Oh my, hello. It's an honor.

I can't believe I'm meeting you in person, Ms. Ahn.

Will you escort...

You're here, too, Ms. Hong.

How sentimental those colors are.

You just noticed that now?

Woo-min.

This is the photographer for today's event, Ji Woo-min.

He'll be taking your pictures, too.

We meet again. Nice to see you here.

Yes. Hello.

Do you already know each other?

Let's get started.

Oh gosh, these look so good.

Mr. Lee looks so amazing!

I heard you have great retouching skills.

Please take extra care of the photos.

Sure.

Mr. Lee, the photos look great.

Well, you're perfect in every way, so...

-Great work. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't mention it. I'm just doing my job.

Excuse me, but I have to ask.

Sure, go ahead.

I heard you and Ji-eun broke up.

I wonder why we keep running into each other lately.

Yes, we did initially.

How do I say this...

It was like a test, so to speak.

When I was with her,

I felt she was different from other women I'd dated.

But I just needed to be sure.

I thought about it, and only after we broke up,

I realized that I was right.

So, I'd like to start over.

Shouldn't you apologize first?

You're indeed a good friend.

Thanks for the advice. I was about to do that.

You and Ji-eun are close friends, right?

May I ask for your support?

I want to do things right this time.

I don't think I can do that.

I'll do my best retouching these.

Is it true Thierry Henry is coming to Korea?

New World International invited him,

begging him to come. And he wouldn't even listen.

Even when they held Asia's first store launching event in Shanghai,

he never left his atelier in Paris.

So why now?

And secretly, by himself?

I know you two have been best friends since your days at ESMOD.

That's news to me.

I heard that because of his visit,

every luxury hotel in Seoul is getting cancellation or reservation calls.

And you'll find out in Cheongdam Daily soon.

These hotels have no manners.

Ms. Ahn, you're the one arranging Thierry Henry's visit, right?

Why are you handling that alone, when you're so busy?

If you report this to Cheongdam Daily, the agencies will start lining up,

so that they can host him.

I mean, it's Thierry Henry.

The chief designer of EARLAINE, the brand that women all over the world

covet the most.

A Korean adoptee and a European fashion icon.

That's right. Thierry is coming to Korea.

Oh my!

What an honor.

As one of the leading fashionistas in Korea,

I can't express how honored I am.

Do you know anyone who can manage his accommodation?

Who would say no to accommodating Thierry?

Everyone's trying to make connections and launch EARLAINE in Korea.

It's a different matter.

We need someone to work with discretion.

Someone who can keep it quiet.

-Thierry Henry? -Hush!

That's right, one of the most famous Koreans in the world

alongside BTS and Son Heung-min.

Thierry Henry.

He's Korean-French, to be exact.

His designs are always sold out,

and wherever he goes, he becomes the gossip that are just as shocking.

With no manners, no mercy, no sense, he's mean, picky, and finicky...

All right, I get it.

He even came second in Tabloid's list of the rudest celebrities of the year.

That amazing Thierry Henry?

Was he second place, not first?

Come on, Ms. Oh.

So are you in or not? Just say "goodbye" to him?

-Can I do that? -You...

You'll have to say bye to me first.

Thierry's visit to Korea is personal and has nothing to do with EARLAINE.

He doesn't want this to be news in Korea.

He doesn't want any public attention.

He'd like no one to know about this.

Can I ask him for an autograph or a picture for my Instagram?

No.

Of course, absolutely not.

His likes and dislikes are clear, but they differ from time to time.

He has mood swings too.

When he gets too passionate,

he does unpredictable things.

But that wouldn't happen this time.

His visit will be extremely private.

Take good care of him.

Thank you for your trust, Ms. Ahn.

Excuse me, Ms. Ahn,

does Thierry have a particular reason for coming to Korea?

He wants to buy a suit.

A custom-made suit.

Do you think this makes any sense?

I guess there's a world-class tailor in Korea,

who's good enough to attract him.

Ppyoji, this will be your most glorious moment

in your life as a fashionista.

Of course I respect him,

but I only want to see him in magazines or the media. He's scary.

He's one of the most creative people I know in fashion.

He's only known through gossip,

but he actually does many anonymous charity work.

He takes 40% of his income and gives it back to society.

Everything from refugee issues to starvation, and the environment.

To some, he may be a respectable person.

But he's also a complete menace to others.

But that might be just gossip, made up by those who can't do their jobs right.

Hey, what's so funny?

He's been chuckling all along. What is it, Woo-min?

Guess who just followed me on Instagram?

There's a campaign with Dynamic Metropolitan as the theme.

It's a global event held by THE Q.

They want photos by street photographers.

That's why I'm looking for suitable candidates on Instagram.

WOOMIN_J FOLLOW

It's an honor.

Want to give it a shot?

You mean, THE Q?

Yes, of course. Thank you!

I'll DM you.

Let's sit down. I ordered for you.

Did you ask me for lunch to nag?

Nagging is for people who actually listen, Seon-ho.

I'm a troublemaker now?

You ruined a trunk show,

and it made headlines. So the answer is yes, of course.

The last two scheduled shoots got canceled.

I'll admit my attitude wasn't professional as a model.

I deserve punishment.

It seems you messed with a pretty powerful woman.

Did I? So does that mean I'm out of work for a while?

Will you apologize?

I have nothing to apologize for.

Good for you, then, Seon-ho.

A powerful woman, huh?

I'm craving champagne.

You brought your company card, right? Let me order some.

You don't want Thierry Henry's visit to hit the news.

What?

No way.

You know nothing.

On YouTube, they say,

you have to dress up to accommodate him.

Welcome, Thierry! Hello!

I'm from AUDREY...

Wait, excuse...

Oh gosh!

-Go! -Okay, you should go.

MS. AHN

Jeez.

And then there he was, looking so charismatic.

He had such a unique aura.

Pardon?

You want to speak with him?

The staff member you saw the other day.

She's taking good care of him right now.

Did something happen?

Well, Ms. Ahn,

by any chance, is Thierry allergic to...

No, I mean...

Does he have a trauma with flowers?

Were the flowers pink?

Gosh, how did you know?

Sometimes he panics at the sight of the color pink.

I guess that's how much he hates the color.

Thank you.

You saved me from all that pink.

Hello, let me introduce myself again. I'm Pyo Ji-eun, from AUDREY.

Your Korean's very good.

Anything making you uncomfortable?

I was desperate for this during the flight.

FINE DUST VERY BAD

How nice.

So nice!

That hurt.

Passing through!

Are you having fun?

TOFU

-Do you mind taking our... -One, two...

-Here you are. -Thank you.

Who is it?

Come on, it's too early.

You have to help me. Be my driver for a few days.

-Driver? -Yeah.

Am I your husband? Or your boyfriend?

Neither, but you're my best male friend!

I'm not unemployed anymore. I've got a job now.

I already asked Mr. Do to excuse you.

I checked you have no plans this week.

He told me you're all mine.

Where are we even going? I haven't even washed my face yet.

No time. Do it in the car.

What is this? Did you get a new car?

I rented it. I'm doing a one-man escort service because of Ms. Oh.

"One-man escort"?

I'm escorting Thierry Henry all by myself.

Hey, your hair's a mess. Do something.

Do I really have to wear a suit while I'm driving?

Dressing up is a must when escorting Thierry Henry.

Well, you sure have a nice figure.

By the way, you seem like you've changed a bit lately.

Something feels different.

No, I've always been the same.

What? Do I look more handsome?

It's not that.

Well.

Don't lose this.

You got it?

How much is the pay?

Oh no, Mr. Driver, we're out of budget.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAY MAP

You said I was a driver. So why am I here?

He wants to take the subway.

But I can't drive a train.

I thought you said people can't find out.

All the people passing by are staring at him.

I wonder why he wants to go to Cheongnyangni Station by subway.

Well, don't be curious. Don't ask questions.

Just do what the man wants. That's the point of this escort mission.

Thierry.

I'm good, thank you.

Just try one.

What is it?

It's spicy.

-Spicy? -It's spicy!

-Hot! -It's hot?

He says it's hot!

-Not this one? -Here!

-Hot! It's Hot! -It's hot?

Hot!

-I'm sorry. -Run!

EXIT

I'm sorry.

PLATFORMS

It's unique and pretty.

Are you launching a purse line this season?

It's not that.

I just came up with the design.

When is the release date?

If it's Joseph's first purse, I should be the first customer.

I'm not producing it.

We can't afford the production cost.

I'll just display samples at a pop-up shop.

For my customers.

A purse that not even loyal customers of Joseph can purchase.

A purse you can't buy, a design you can't have.

What's the point of that?

I know.

You came up with a great design,

and yet you'll take away the chance to buy it just because it's expensive?

You have to try everything. That's more like you.

Oh, this one is good.

I like this too.

That pose is too much. It's only a local brand.

Seon-ho!

Let's take five.

Okay.

Why are you so surprised?

What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here.

Why not? I can't come to the studio I used to shoot at?

Didn't Mr. Gang tell you?

That I got cut off? Yeah, he did.

I just came to see you.

God, I was worried.

Anyway, who are they? They don't look like models.

-Influencers. -Influencers?

Twenty K.

Thirty-two. Forty-one.

And this one's, 70K.

Look who's here!

Did you have to look for yourself that the influencers replaced you?

Ma'am.

What do you think? Do you feel threatened?

If we just take a few pictures with them,

and they do Instagram postings for purchase orders,

I'll be in business 24 hours a day.

The sales from your magazine shoots

is nothing compared to them.

So you're a saleswoman?

Ye Seon-ho, you may be a famous model,

but in the fashion industry, people always flock to what's new.

So, all the things you have

could also mean you're outdated, don't you think?

How many followers do you have?

Come on.

You will go somewhere, not me.

Us?

My friend Ahn Nam-hee prepared a beautiful Korean meal for me tonight.

I'm on a diet.

Also, I'm not familiar with local food.

What was that thing we ate earlier?

Tteokbokki?

Yeah, that one, I was so shocked.

That's why I'm done eating today.

Sorry, we didn't mean...

I don't want to disappoint my friend,

so you should go there

and help me enjoy that delicious feast from here.

-Did you get what he meant? -Yup.

He'll just enjoy with his eyes.

What?

So spicy, I hate you! But you're cute.

It's so tasty.

Is it good?

Look how pretty that is!

It's hot!

Thank you!

Wow, the food looked and tasted great.

But I can't eat another bite.

Here, your paycheck for the day.

Are you still seeing that guy?

Who? Nam-jin?

Wow, this is so good.

What does it matter to you if I'm with him or not?

Well, you broke up, so I was wondering if you still had feelings for him.

I certainly misunderstood him.

He tried to take me as I am,

but I thought I had to change who I was to better fit him.

So that was difficult.

Why? You worried I'll start seeing him again?

No.

I'm just curious as a friend.

Maybe he's a great guy,

and I just didn't think to look deeper into him.

If he turns out to be a bad guy, you'd better have my back as my friend.

Why should I?

You have Seon-ho, too.

Seon-ho fights way better than me.

No way.

When our class lost at soccer on sports day, things got scary.

I bet she even made some of the boys cry.

That's my friend Seon-ho, indeed.

And then she insisted to play

in the next game herself, in a boys-only match.

But she's not a boy!

That's crazy. She's really something, isn't she?

Ji-eun.

Hey, Nam-jin.

We're surely running into each other often.

Did you have a meeting around here or something?

Yes, I had dinner with my college professors.

We had some drinks as well.

Looks like it. Your cheeks are red.

Just a few drinks.

I know a good place for a walk nearby.

If you're okay, would you like to go with me,

and have a talk?

Oh, sure.

Woo-min, you should go on ahead.

No.

You have to transfer twice on the subway to get home.

I'll wait.

I'll take her home.

Hey, I'm not a kid. I can take a cab.

I say mean things sometimes, but I'm grateful for you, friend.

If it weren't for you, I would've been exhausted today.

See you tomorrow, Woo-min.

Let's go.

Ji-eun.

Yes?

What is it? Did I forget something?

Go home early.

Go on, Woo-min.

I should apologize,

so that I can ask you to start over again.

Apologize?

I broke up with you back then

because I wanted to know more about you.

To see if you were dating me because you needed me,

or because you liked me.

So, have you found an answer?

I know for sure that you didn't date me just because you needed my help.

You mean

you're not so sure whether I liked you or not?

Will you give me a chance to figure that out?

It's so weird to see you being so forward like this.

I like you a lot, Ji-eun.

I'm sure I'll figure it out soon with your help.

Thank you for being honest with me.

I thought about it, and only after we broke up, I realized.

So, I'd like to start over.

I want to do things right this time.

PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK

CHAT SIGNED BY A FAMOUS DESIGNER? WHO?

I'LL TAKE IT IF IT'S FREE

JOSEPH... WHO'S THAT?

WHO'S JOSEPH?

Shoot, no one's buying.

Huh?

What's this?

Next.

Next.

Thank you all for today.

We'll contact you individually regarding the results.

You didn't like any of them?

Maybe just this one?

And the male models?

I want someone completely new.

Never-seen-before kind of new.

That way, it won't draw attention away from the bag.

Should I search on Instagram?

I've got your DM.

Do you need a model for a pop-up shop?

Nice to see you here, sir!

Let's see your walk.

All right!

What are those old photos he keeps looking at?

Why does he keep tracking down the places in the photos?

What if he didn't come here for a tailored suit,

but actually to find his birth mother?

He's retracing the steps he used to take with his mom.

He does seem a bit sentimental,

and hesitant, too, from behind.

GYEONGGANG STATION

GYEONGGANG LOUNGE

It's been a long time since trains ran at this station.

Now, they run rail bikes here.

Sorry, Thierry, I think you should take off your glasses.

Lots of young people come here.

They'll recognize you.

I'm Thierry Henry.

I'm just being who I am!

But you said you wanted to come here.

-Wait, isn't that... -It's him!

-Wow. -Hey, take a picture of him.

Hey, who's that? What?

Excuse me,

did you just take pictures? Please delete them.

I was taking pictures of him, Thierry Henry, not you.

Nonsense, that's my uncle.

Look, I was right!

-See? -It's his glasses!

-You're wrong. -That's him!

No pictures, please. Please delete these.

My niece, let's go.

That's him, right?

-It's him, it is! -For real?

Oh my gosh, ouch!

That hurt!

Wait, please, you can't take pictures.

No pictures!

No! I'm her uncle!

He's my uncle! My uncle!

Thierry, it's okay.

We checked everyone there and made them delete the photos.

We asked them not to upload the pictures online.

So...

I really don't know what to do.

He just changed his schedule, saying he wants to go back to Paris right away.

Isn't that good if he's leaving earlier than scheduled?

I have no idea what kind of escort I'm doing right now.

He sobbed all the way back from Gapyeong.

No matter how much I comforted him, he wouldn't stop.

He hasn't even mentioned anything about getting a suit.

So, you're just going to let him go?

My guess is,

he's looking for his mother, his birth mother.

If that's the case, I'd like to help him,

but I'm hesitant to bring that up.

You seem to be having a hard time with this, Ji-eun.

So I went to see Ms. Ahn.

She gave me this.

What is this? An old magazine?

Read it.

VINCENT CHA THIERRY HENRY'S ESMOD CLASSMATE

I think it's not his birth mother, but his...

Welcome, how can I help you?

Well.

We're here for a custom suit.

We're having dinner with both of our parents.

It's for a special occasion.

This way, I'll measure you first.

I didn't know there was a tailor shop here.

I saw in a magazine article

that you graduated from a famous design school in Europe.

I didn't graduate.

Why? It must've been difficult to get into.

The desirable way's to cut your pants at the point

where your ankle bone shows a bit.

-Will that be okay? -Well...

Yes, that sounds good.

Everyone prefers ordinary things like this, right?

My father did, too.

Anything different from everyone else

was something he couldn't accept.

So I'm here in Korea.

You must've been sad. That must've been your dream.

Still, I got my father's tailor shop.

And I've been making suits for his old customers

and their children for happy occasions,

hoping that I could help make them a little happier.

I wonder what kind of happiness I'll get from this suit.

You wear a suit on meaningful days of your life.

I think you might be my last customer.

I'll sew each and every knot for your suit,

so that you can look perfect at the dinner.

"Last customer"?

Tailored suits aren't popular anymore.

Off-the-shelf suits are good and cheaper.

Custom suits take days in the making.

They're only popular among a few loyal fans.

We're closing down.

HAE-JUN TAILOR SHOP CHA HAE-JUN

I was thinking you'd need to change your return flight again.

No, this is good enough for me.

I just wanted to check some things out for myself.

That's enough for me.

But if you go like this, I'll be so sad.

This was the best I could do while sticking to the rules you told me.

They're closing down soon.

This is the answer I can give you.

I won't be rescheduling.

127-34 BOGWANG-DONG YONGSAN-GU

I'm learning how to tailor suits.

I mostly just sow on lapels,

but I'm enjoying what I do.

Whenever I think of you,

I go to Seoul and buy a French fashion magazine,

and that's the one thing I enjoy doing the most.

The peaceful view of the Han River from the subway train,

eating spicy tteokbokki

while waiting for a train,

and standing at a small

but scenic train station...

That's when I feel alive.

Thierry, I think I'll have to stay and live here, just like this.

This letter is for us to let ourselves free

from the promise we made on the padlock we left at Pont des Arts.

When you threw your key into the Seine,

I didn't. I guess I wasn't ready.

I want you to unlock that padlock and be free.

HAE-JUN TAILOR SHOP

Welcome.

When you're done with the suit, please send it to this address.

I don't think that'll work.

Customized suits require a fitting.

You'll have to come to see me again.

Pop-ups are usually about leaving an impression that lingers on.

When people at the pop-up shop see the bags on display,

what would they think?

Their first impression would be "pretty."

And it will linger on, making them want it, maybe?

Then should we give people those impressions?

That lingering impression...

Esther, get the design sketches.

Let's go by scooter.

Why are we going to the fabric market in Sinseol-dong all of a sudden?

We'll make tote bags with my design sketches on them.

Joseph!

Joseph, I like you so much!

Bosh. I like you too, Esther!

Now, that's more like Joseph.

This pop-up seems like a sign of promise.

You release the design,

promising that it will be released one day.

Right, I'm making a promise to the world.

It's not like I can do it at the moment, but I'll make it happen someday.

-Well, I hope your fans are patient. -Gosh, seriously?

As long as it's not too late, Joseph.

Where's Woo-min? This is a historical moment.

Today's an important day for Woo-min, too.

Thierry, what is he...

Thierry? Holy cow!

How come Thierry's here with you?

For the EARLAINE launch. I've been interested in it.

With Ms. Ahn's help, I was able to have a meeting with him.

One of his conditions for the meeting was to bring him here.

-Nice to meet you. -Me, too.

Hello.

Hello, Seon-ho.

You said he freaks out at the mere sight of pink, right?

It's like Ms. Ahn mentioned,

"it changes from time to time."

Hello, everyone.

Oh my, that bag?

You're crazy!

I'm about to be a bad guy.

I'm gonna snatch it!

This is mine!

Now, let me introduce to you, Mr. Joseph!

Joseph!

Look this way!

Thank you! Wow!

Aside from these two, please send me the rest my way.

Sure.

Thank you.

But it's not up to me to get them published.

-Good work. -Thank you.

I felt like Thierry was isolating himself behind these tall, solid walls,

and now he's overcome them. I'm so happy for him.

He showed his true self to you,

because you did a great job.

As the saying goes, sincerity is often met with sincerity.

I like that.

I hope the same goes for my sincerity.

How about it?

I want something more than casual dating with you this time.

An official date.

I want to sincerely convey how I feel.

My hand's cold. Are you going to leave me hanging?

Please?

I HOPE THIS IS THE PERFECT SUIT FOR THE PERFECT BOYFRIEND

I didn't know this place was so pretty.

Too bad it's just a pop-up shop.

What's with the look?

You look like you've got a lot on your mind today.

I'm just tired. I had a guest to escort, you know.

The pop-up runs until next week.

Why did Woo-min insist on meeting us out here this late?

All of us together.

Today's the opening day. He's being a loyal friend.

Wait here just a sec.

I've got to call my dad for a bit.

Sure, I'll wait here.

You're pretty today.

Your makeup's great.

What's with you?

Hey, Woo-min.

What's up with you?

Did you go to a wedding?

You're all dressed up.

Are you falling for me for looking so handsome?

You must've not looked in the mirror. Which part is handsome?

Look around and take pictures, too.

This is Joseph's pop-up shop that even Thierry Henry fell in love with!

Do you remember this necktie?

Have you kept it?

I...

I'd like to go back to how I used to feel.

Let's stop being friends.

Don't you know how I feel?

You were never just a friend.

I've always seen you as my girl.

Let's start over, Ji-eun.

Ji-eun.

Do you think I'm a joke?

Did you think I'd be happy

if you asked me to start over?

Let's just stop being friends.
