Miss Korea

I'm humiliated I was brazen enough

to show up in front of you after 10 years to save my company.

I'm also humiliated to death

for being stomped on by a friend and beaten by thugs in front of you.

And you want me to accept your money, too?

Then do you want me to just watch you suffer and do nothing?

You're going through so much inside,

and I should just enjoy being treated like a queen?

If I accept your money, what's next?

I'll become just a debtor to you.

When I see you, "You're pretty and nice,"

instead of thinking that,

"I'm sorry,"

"I wonder when I'll repay the money," that's what I'll be thinking.

It will become harder to see you, do you know that?

You're Teacher Jeong's debtor, but you get along with him fine.

Hey, Ji Young.

I...

Please don't make me feel embarrassed.

Let's go in.

Wow, it's Ji Young!

Come sit down!

Give a cushion for Miss Korea!

Wow...

Congratulations, Ji Young! - Thank you.

I'm sorry I couldn't come yesterday.

But you still won the first place all on your own. You're incredible.

Hey, get a drink.

You shouldn't dump our Hyeong Joon just because you've become Miss Korea, okay?

Dude, is she the kind of person who would do such a thing?

When did I say that?

Have some meat, too.

Well, I'm fine.

I received a drink from Miss Korea. - Me, too.

Alright, cheers! - Cheers!

Cheers! - One shot!

I heard about the company.

I'm sorry I'm the only one who turned out well.

Are you guys all right?

Of course we're okay. We're totally fine!

We're okay! - I'm strong!

We are good.

How about your visit to Yoon?

He agreed to take over all of the employees

and I agreed to hand over the entire company.

That's good!

It turned out well. At least the employees won't lose jobs.

And you're empty-handed, huh?

Still, I'm debt-free now.

We're rich if we don't have debt in this era of IMF, aren't we?

Ji Young, I'm rich now.

But after you handed over the whole company,

there really isn't anything for the president?

This Yoon, shameless punk!

That shameless punk!

Look at Miss Korea cursing!

What can I do when I can't help it?!

Forget it. Let's not talk about the company anymore.

We're here to congratulate you!

Ahjumma! Give us a few more bottles of soju!

Now try to feel better and have a smile on your face.

Hey, Miss Korea winner. Say Waikiki.

I'm sick of that now.

How about Hawaii? Do it for us.

I'm so sick and tired of it now.

You have to go to Hawaii. Please do Hawaii just once.

Right. You're going to Hawaii. Say Hawaii just once, Ji Young!

What's happened to us is one thing and things going well for you is another.

We would be suffering twice as much had things gone wrong for you, too.

How happy we are that things worked out for you,

I want you to realize.

Feel free to smile comfortably in front of us!

Where are you going? - Ah, yes!

Don't take interest, please.

Using honorifics all of a sudden... What's wrong with you, Teacher Jeong!

He's drunk.

Hawaii!

Drinking with Miss Korea is...

Have a drink, Unnie.

Let me make our Miss Korea Ji Young a lettuce wrap.

Kimchi...

Kimchi!

Where are you going, the bathroom?

It's the doctor!

Why are you leaving so soon?

I thought you'd come back after a smoke. You're really leaving?

Doctor. - What?

Do you like studying that much? (speaking in honorifics)

You're already a Ph. D.

After studying more,

how far are you trying to go?

What?

Is a punk like me, who only graduated

from middle school, invisible to you?

Well, to get to where you are, a punk like me

has to go to high school, a college, and even a graduate school.

I have to get a doctoral degree, too.

I have to go to France, too.

I don't think I can ever do all that even by the time I'm in the coffin.

Couldn't you stop studying?

I want to be of support, too.

What's wrong with you accepting it? We won the first place together.

Are you going to let the BB cream be launched under another company's name, then?

Are you just going to give up?

Okay.

Then give it to me.

I'm going to do whatever I want with this, then.

Of course!

Okay, thanks.

What's the occasion, listening to me for once?

Instead, don't pity me, Oh Ji Young.

I'm going to reach up to where you are.

You and I are already standing side by side.

Wait. - I told you, side by side.

I'll show you myself climbing up. Soon.

You saw it clearly, right?

Yeah.

Teacher Jeong likes our Hwa Jeong (from what we see), right?

I think so.

The heart even I had never

even dared to have. (liking her)

Teacher Jeong now...

Teacher Jeong has it for Hwa Jeong now.

Does she like him, too?

There's no way it could happen.

Unification of Korea would be easier.

Anyway, I'm against it!

Me, too!

Couldn't you stop studying?

There isn't going to be any place to hire me in this time of IMF.

A woman has to study at least to make a living.

In this tough world.

So, after all...

You're going to study more?

Yeah, aren't you so well born?!

How nice must it be to have a Miss Korea winning daughter!

Nice? Well...

How well will she marry to a wealthy person.

Oh, I'm jealous, Ji Young's Father!

Your store will do so well since the news is out.

That's right.

I can't believe a Miss Korea came out of our neighborhood.

And a winner at that.

Mi.Ko.Wi (abbreviation of Miss Korea Winner) Do you know Mi.Ko.Wi? She's the most popular with the kids.

Mi.Ko.Wi! Mi.Ko.Wi! Mi.Ko.Wi! Mi. Ko.Wi!

Hey, this is our neighborhood, where everyone knows us. Let go.

There's no one around.

If you don't let me hold your hand when I want to hold your hand,

what are you telling me to do while we're dating?

-Dating? -Yea.

Hey, the Miss Korea contract signature isn't even dry yet.

The thing to be most careful of is scandal.

Did you or did you not hear them say that you absolutely are prohibited from dating?

I have to do it all secretly.

Secretly? All?

Yes.

What is this "secret, all" dating?

That, I don't know, either.

I'll try it from now on.

We can't.

We can.

We can't, I'm telling you.

If something happens to you while we do this it could be a really big deal.

Until May I'm not a man to you.

I'm just

a streetlight.

I'll make you shine in darkness

and guard you. A streetlight, okay?

You're on your face talking nonsense about a streetlight.

What, on my face?!

Who listens to the organization's nagging given out like a school teacher would

and believes and follows them exactly?

That's why I'm saying that I'll do it secretly.

Who says I'll do it publicly?

I'm going to do it. You do what you want, Oppa.

Aiyoo, that girl's too naughty!

I thought that we wouldn't have reason to see each other again.

Ji Young, I will entrust her to you.

I request it of you.

That person you offered up all that prize money to is Hyeong Joon?

-Yes. -Ai!

Why????

Did Hyeong Joon say that he likes you again? Did he say that he loves you?

And did he seduce you to give him money, while saying that?

He insisted on not accepting the money even when I almost begged him to, and

no matter how I ask him to date secretly I think he doesn't want to.

He says that we can't.

What do I do, Mom?

Say what?!

So you're begging him to date you while offering money,

but Hyeong Joon, that punk, even with you offering him money is rejecting you right now?!

Yes.

What are you lacking that a woman chases a man saying that she likes him more?!

The order is that the man should chase the woman saying that he likes her.

And even more so, what does that man have to his name?

What's so great about him that he treats Miss Korea like a kimchi Stew.

Kimchi stew?

He's checking how she's seasoned right now.

Whether she's salty or not salty, whether he should meet her again or not.

Grandfather, what do I have to do to make Hyeong Joon Oppa

like me more than I like him?

I'm a woman too. My pride is hurt.

Father, why does she live like this? Why?

Come to your senses, you.

I'll go to sleep first.

I think she needs a beating (to come to her senses).

Miss Korea, Ji Young accomplished it alone with her own strength.

Like you said,

I do not qualify as a Queen maker.

I absolutely can't entrust her to anyone else.

If it's you, I can entrust my Ji Young.

So Ji Young doesn't sit down, hesitating, next to me,

so she can fly further and higher in the future,

President, please become Ji Young's Queen maker.

Please accept her and prepare her for Miss Universe,

and the matters that arise in the future please accept responsibility for them and manage them.

What happens if Ji Young flies away to somewhere you can't catch her while I do that?

Please definitely make her fly.

The moment you entrust her to me your love will be at risk.

That is my part that I have to overcome.

From what I hear, the company is also ruined.

Is it an adventure, a gamble or a confidence?

Ji Young, please make her into a real Queen.

Ok.

From the moment she became Miss Korea,

she's on top of a thin sheet of ice.

At a moment's wrong turn, at a moment's mistake,

even before she can fall, she will already have plunged into icy water,

and she will have to step down. She's in that kind of world.

I won't go so far as telling you two to break up.

Until the Miss Universe Competition, you two control yourselves.

Yes.

The two of you be careful.

Yes.

Don't date secretly from me.

Yes, I understand.

The moment you entrust her to me,

don't second guess no matter what happens, no matter what decision is made.

Yes.

Today you sold

your soul to me.

Why is it so savory?

President, you make Ji Young into a Queen,

and I will make Ji young happy.

Let's do well, President.

We're dating in secret.

The Miss International that Soo Hyun will go out for is in Japan.

Miss World that Jae Hee is supposed to go out for is opening in Seychelles.

Seychelles? What country is that attached to?

Oh yes. They say it's in Africa.

I'm busy, so hurry here and get straight to the point.

Hyungnim, I...

I have something to tell you.

I heard that Cherry (Salon) got taken over. (into someone else's hands)

How did you know?

Don't you know that the gossip mill is very fast in this business?

How much debt did you get into that your shop got taken over?

Hyungnim, what do I do?

I worked so hard to open that shop.

Hyungnim, you know, right? The salary you gave me,

I didn't use even one penny and saved my money.

Even the money to buy lunch was precious so I packed lunches.

I cooked ramyun at the shop and ate it.

It's the salon that I opened with my life blood savings.

That's why you should live within your means.

You couldn't even spend $5 to buy a beauty magazine.

So you would see it with your eyes, so you'd memorize it with your eyes,

reading for hours in the bookstore again and again,

so in the end the one who made me open my pockets is you.

And does a $50,000 painting even make sense?!

Do you make Miss Korea with money?!

Where did you learn only the worst things and make this commotion over money?!

That's why your legs got split.

Hyungnim, what do I do?!

Why do you ask me that?

Hyungnim, can't you accept me?

Chief Yoon, what is she saying right now?

I don't think she's in her right mind.

Hyungnim.

Hyungnim, don't be like that and please accept me.

I will return back to the basics and I will work hard and diligently under you.

Hyungnim, you know me. I'm Yang Choon Ja.

When I worked with you,

I even pretended to die and did everything you told me to.

That's why you liked me.

That's true. She liked you so much.

But you back stabbed and betrayed us, didn't you?

Chief Yoon, speak correctly.

Will you stay under Hyungnim all your life?

It was time for me to be independent, so I went out on my own. How is that a betrayal?

People don't know anything and keep saying that I stole and taught the know-hows,

but no. I learned it! I learned it all!

Why is it that I copied it?! Why is it that I stole it?!

Honestly, it's not like you made the know-hows all by yourself.

When they made their houses, it's not like I was playing

and just took the benefit from them. Isn't that right, Hyungnim?

Stop whining and get up.

No, no, no!

I won't get up until you take me back!

This, this, look at this. Your stubbornness has come out again.

I'm not going to leave here today!

I need some time to think too!

Hyungnim!

I haven't decided yet.

Oh, my Hyungnim is so kind. Thank you, Hyungnim.

Now, I'll do everything you ask me to do.

I didn't say yes!

Hyungnim!

But I starved the whole day, so I'm hungry...

can you buy me some soju and pig-skin?

-Are you waiting for someone? -Oh, no, no.

Get in.

Get in and go.

Oppa...

You've struggled a lot getting prepared for Miss Korea with a newbie like me.

For Miss Universe, you need to prepare with experienced people.

It's a world competition.

The President is waiting. Hurry.

Everything is set, so don't worry and get in.

Oppa...

It's okay, get in.

Ah, so according to the lawyer's words, Oh Ji Young is 26. Isn't that right?

Yes...

Every year, the competition was held in May, but

for the first time, we moved the competition to December, so

I think there was some oversight.

So ultimately, Oh Ji Young wasn't qualified in the first place due to her age.

So...a contestant who didn't qualify in the beginning became the Miss Korea winner.

Director Kim...

that...how about we just overlook this incident?

And at the Seoul competition, there were scandals about Miss Seoul changing.

If something comes up again about this final competition,

this is a very serious issue that could potentially bring up the possibility of the pageant shut down.

We regret this incident as a main sponsor of the pageant.

Since we changed it to December,

the dates for each district's competition had been messed up.

So the age limit

was written as 25-year-old by the final competition date.

However, both contestants and the organizers made quite a few mistakes.

If we had done it in May like we used to,

Oh Ji Young's age wouldn't have mattered at all.

It's just one day difference, and I wonder if it's necessary to make the problem bigger.

Let's see...Let's think about it more if that's necessary or not.

What...?

If it's necessary, isn't it obvious that the Miss Korea will have to change?

Since I'm busy, I'll be leaving first.

President?

President, we've arrived.

These are the things we used at last year's Miss Universe competition.

These many things?

If I tell you even this isn't enough, would you believe me?

During 20 plus days of living together with other contestants,

parties that are held everyday are the tests.

Necessary evening dresses are least 10. And formal attire,

casual clothes and even training clothes with sweatpants,

because everyday, every moment, you'll be exposed to the press and examined,

you cannot carelessly put something on, even if it's just a T-shirt.

Socks that no one sees, and even underwear,

as if someone sees them, you must wear them stylishly.

Everyday, everyday like a model who is on the runway.

Like an actress in front of a camera.

That is the reality of Miss Universe.

Do you understand?

Unfortunately, all these things are no longer the trend.

We cannot use them again.

We need to buy new ones to go with the new trend and...

It'll cost a lot of money.

$20,000 will not be enough.

It will be hard to find sponsors due to the economic crisis situation.

But you're not the kind of a girl who would accept my (financial) help willingly...

You need to earn the money yourself.

Why? Are you scared already?

No. I'll try.

It depends all on you. Advertisements or broadcasts,

I'll connect them to you as they are fitting.

To the point that it will be incomparable to the Miss Korea training,

I will be more severe and strict.

If you are not ready for that, it's not too late.

Go back.

What will you do?

I will rely on you from now on.

Thank you.

Raise your head.

It took us both a long time.

I thought about it very carefully.

That lip gloss doesn't have a color, so men could wear that.

Up until now, full and perfect makeup has been the trend.

But if Bada releases our BB Cream...

Let's take out "our" from that sentence.

Huh?

Ah, so...the BB Cream comes...

-Hey, that's how we talked for years, so how can we change it in a day?

Ah, so our BB Cream...

-Ai, how do we not say "our"? -Ah, be quiet for a second!

If Bada releases the BB Cream,

then the BB Cream will definitely be a hit, and among the women,

natural makeup that barely shows will become the trend.

Then current dark lipstick will not work, right?

So they'll put on BB Cream to make it seem like they didn't,

would they put on a dark lipstick that shows that they put on a lot of makeup?

That's right...

For sure, after the BB Cream is popular,

they'll look for different lipstick.

What about this?

Hey...but this has no color!

Hyung, lip gloss is to put on top of lipstick.

How will it beat lipstick that has color? It can't compete.

So that's why...we can make colored lip gloss!

For the first time, we'll make colored lip gloss!

Nobody knows about the BB Cream,

they won't know the right lipstick for BB Cream.

We'll put that out in the market first.

Watch.

The more popular BB Cream gets,

they'll look for a natural lip gloss.

It's amazing...

You're right. Why didn't we think of that?!

First, let's call Hwa Jeong.

But where do we meet?

If you have an interest in BB Cream,

my condition is that you take over Vi Vi Cosmetics as a whole company.

Well...

Although the BB Cream has potential,

I'm not sure if worth is high amount of money.

My next meeting is with Juliana.

If you don't feel like it, you can reject the offer.

That's fine. I'll agree to it.

Then shall we start the negotiation?

Here,

those are our conditions.

Please look over it.

Wait...

is it a condition that we have to use Oh Ji Young for BB Cream's advertisements?

Well, that's unexpected.

I thought you'd like it.

I think you have a high interest on Oh Ji Young.

Since Oh Ji Young gave attention to the BB Cream even before it came out on the market,

from Bada's position,

it wouldn't be bad for you.

But the thing is,

whether Oh Ji Young will continue to be Miss Korea's winner,

that's the problem.

What are you...

We found out

that she didn't meet the age qualifications.

She was a contestant that didn't meet requirements.

During the competition, her birthday passed, so she turned 26.

With a one day difference,

you're going to steal the crown?

Well, whether it's a day or a month,

rules are rules.

It hasn't been decided yet, but...

Director Kim,

from the acquisition price,

I will lower it 3%.

Oh Ji Young's problem,

just cover it.

I'm asking you not to make a noise

about her qualifications.

Disregarding the condition of having to use Oh Ji Young as an advertisement model,

I also,

do not want to give the BB Cream over to Bada.

Woong Sang, it seems like we're missing customers.

It seems so.

Is it due to IMF (economic crisis)?

Is it because we closed the store for Ji Young's travels?

There are no customers,

and it's just the same, old family.

Aigoo, this is frustrating.

I don't like Hyung Joon.

Welcome!

The women of our country think they will die if they leave without lipstick.

Only lip gloss?

Well...

Even if we put color into it,

will they like it?

Really?

What if we put lots of pigment into the lip gloss. Would it still not work?

Lip gloss has a limited amount of pigment it can hold.

And it gets smeared and disappear so easily.

Isn't there a better method?

Jeong Teacher, you came.

Come have a seat over here. Hey, help him with the box.

Why did you call Jeong Teacher?

I asked him to bring

the rest of the first batch of 3,000 BB Creams we produced that were in his car.

Why?

Sit down over here.

No..sit over here, Jeong Teacher.

Or.. You can sit where I was sitting.

- (Mouthing) What are you doing? - (Mouthing) What?

You guys are working together again?

Yes.

You're also jobless.

Why don't you join us?

Hey!

What?

I don't think we could find a better partner

for our second launch of our business. Is there any problem?

Are you going to make me a President?

Do you want to?

If I had a choice, sure.

Being President is not that nice. You need to go around asking for money.

Looks cool, though!

Do as you please.. If you want it, you can become the President.

- Hyung! - Hey!

What?

Why? Are you two to against it?

I'm against.

So do I.

What?

I'm for it.

Are you crazy?

Appointing a a middle school graduate for the President?

Hey!

He'd make about 100 times better President than you would.

Well, what I meant was...

Not that...

So, you finished your graduate study. But what can you really do other than just blabbering about anything?

You can't fight.

Nor can you bring in the money.

If not, can you forecast market trend? No, you cannot.

Teacher Jeong did more than you do when the factory was taken over.

In what sense, you who are more educated than he is,

better than he is?

So, you too have feelings for Teacher Jeong?

So are you two dating?

Why are you doing this?

What are you talking about?

I see that he's nice to you, so what? Are you going to date him or something?

Come to your senses!

You're a doctoral degree holder.

You're holds a Ph. D. and he holds 5 criminal records!

Do you think this is just a difference in the level of education?

No, it's not.

You know that you two have led different lives so far. Very different lives.

You two are not a good match.

He's not measuring up to you!

Have you gone crazy since our company went down?

My precious Hwa Jeong

cannot act like she gave up on her life and date a guy like him!

Who says we're dating?!

Why are you so rude?!

Noona...

Teacher Jeong knows better than we do that the world is cruel,

so, I thought he wouldn't let this happen again to the company as we naively did.

Hey, hey, hey!

It was a joke!

How can I become the President?

I don't know much about nor have interest in women's cosmetics.

I'd like to be... a, a security guard!

If we need to deal with loan sharks again,

I'll be your shield.

And block the solicitors.

I just want you to restart your business. That's it.

I'm leaving. Keep up the good work.

Fighting!

Teacher Jeong, you're leaving like this...?

What are you guys doing?

Subtitles brought to you by The Beauty Queen Team @ viki

So?

Whether both of them have feelings for each other...

or only one has feelings for the other. I don't know.

Who's the "one"?

Wouldn't it be Teacher Jeong?

By the way,

why is Hong Sam so against it?

A long time ago,

Hyung asked Hwa Jeong out,

but she didn't even budge.

How was your day today?

It must have been new and unfamiliar.

Thank you!

You wouldn't even mention about not joining President Ma's team,

and just got on the car and left like that.

Oppa.

Huh?

Bada Cosmetics is insisting that I sign with them.

What should I do?

President Ma says I should do it, but...

I don't want to.

I feel like that's betraying you,

and I think I wouldn't be able to smile

and would get mad during the advertisement shoot.

Hey, Ji Young.

Definitely sign that deal.

Why?

Do your best during the filming of the ad campaign,

and do your best as a spokesperson, so the BB cream would sell well.

I am

developing a lip gloss right now

that would go well with the BB cream.

Really?

So, as much as the BB cream becomes popular

Instead of all these dark lipsticks that are around now,

consumer will

start looking for a natural lip gloss

that would go nicely

with the natural look of BB cream.

Well,

not by our choice, but the BB cream belongs to Bada Cosmetics now,

but it should do well on the market,

so we can make it as well. It's like sleeping with the enemy.

Sleeping with the enemy?

Yeah.

As long as that happens,

we

will make it back!

Really?

Only if our enemy makes it,

so will we.

Remember that.

Okay!

Hwa Jeong...

Hwa Jeong, back there... I was...

Well,

Hwa Jeong...

I...

Will leave soon to study.

There won't be anything happening that you two imagine.

You're not making lip gloss with us?

I will just help out with that then I'll leave.

I've already gone through the application and other preparations.

Then, do you like me or Teacher Jeong?

I've come to like him as much as I like you.

Why?

You like him as much you like me?

Teacher Jeong?

Then, how much do you like me?

Like THIS much?

or this tiny bit?

There's no way

that I would only like you that tiny bit?

I'm sorry about what happened earlier.

Don't apologize to me, but to Teacher Jeong.

Be safe on the way home!

So, is she saying that she likes Teacher Jeong

or not?

She says she likes me THIS much!

- She likes Teacher Jeong that much, too! - Aish.

Even to make lip gloss

they'll need money.

Damn it!

Going forward this it training location of the world's beauty competitions.

For the next 5 months, as spartan as in Taeneung Training Center (for Olympics),

you will come to have hellish training.

You are the Diplomats of Beauty representing South Korea. Do not forget that.

Yes!

Oh Ji Young, you're the nation's representative.

If Miss Korea were a domestic sporting event, this is the Olympics!

Don't be proud thinking that your face is known in our country.

This is a stage of a different level.

Yes!

This is the 5-drum dance that you have to perform at the international competitions.

There is a reason President Ma chose the 5-drum dance.

First this is a traditional exhibition that foreigners enjoy the most.

In addition, because of exciting drum beats, you can draw audiences positive reaction.

One more thing, with feminine Hanbok line and swift movements,

you can show your beautiful body and graceful line naturally.

Simply put, you can reap 3 benefits with this dance.

Dum, dum. Dum.

Again. And...

Da, dada, da, dada, da, dada, da!

Turn your back.

Up, up!

Hit the drums with more excitement!

With a national representative's mindset, with a national representative's mindset!

That's right. Bend your waist more.

Bend your waist backwards more, bend!

Hurry up and come.

But why are you having me tag along here?

Use you head a little, your head.

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners are all at Queen Salon. So do you think representatives of

broadcasting and advertisement will flock around or not?

At around an open market, a mutt

will be fattened since there are so much food that it can get.

That's why you have to stay stuck closely here to

at least eat the sweetened bean power, isn't that so?

President!

There is a difference in the standard of beauty between Miss Korea and Miss Universe.

-Miss Korea is looking for pure and traditional look, -I will be independent again soon.

-with gentle and graceful face. we have to learn it earnestly.

Why can't I hear? He should really speak up.

Just one moment.

...healthy and

showing her own unique characteristics.

They want that type of special beauty.

Showing my own unique self...That is the basic of the basic...

What is it?!

While I was walking by the hallway I just stopped by a moment to see if Hyungnim was here.

But where did Hyungnim go that you're teaching the class?

Today is a class that I teach.

Ha. So Queen is over her prime now!

This director with no foundation is even teaching a class!

In my days, coming into class and showing just one dance movement

took ten years.

Is betrayal what it took you ten years to learn?!

President Ma did accept you because you had nowhere else to go, but

she said that Yang Choon Ja is absolutely prohibited from entering the training room.

Prohibited from entering? Really so petty.

Did you perhaps even brought this girl along? Huh?

Then just because I remarried, do I throw away my babies before coming in?!

That's fine! Just hurry and leave.

I am also not interested in a class without Hyungnim anyway!

You, you! I tried to cut you some slack as a cutie but

you have no manners whatsoever!

Come, baby. Let's go!

This Yang Choon Ja. It shows her lack of education.

Teach the class properly!

Yes, President.

Yes.

I will send her up right away.

You can keep one copy, Miss Oh Ji Young.

Well, then. Since you finished signing the contract,

I hope you'll work hard as a Bada's model from now on.

President. I'll be going, then.

Are you, by chance, being blackmailed by Director Kim or something?

No. I'm not.

Then I wonder what that off-putting smile was all about.

It bugs me as if I left home without putting my lipstick on.

Right. We got an advertisement offer from big market chains and department stores.

Department stores?

Yeah.

Dream Department Store and Dong-A Department Store. We got offers from both of them.

Which one do you want to go for?

Managing Director. Have you selected our model for next year?

Both our staff and the advertisement agency

are strongly recommending Miss Oh Ji Young who's the new Miss Korea.

Wait, Oh Ji Young?

Yeah.

Oh, you must know her well since she used to be an elevator girl here.

I hear Dong-A wants to use her as their model, too.

But we can't let another department store take someone who used to work at our department store.

Don't you think?

You're right.

She used to be my staff.

So she'll do whatever I tell her to do.

I'll take charge and make sure to bring her here.

Alright.

Okay.

Oh Ji Young...

It's the first time.

This is the first time you've ever paged me.

Is it?

Don't fight with the kids because of me.

I..

think that even a person who's only graduated from middle school can become a company president.

Really?

Then, how about dating?

You've no confidence in dating one(middle school graduate)?

Yes.

It's embarrassing.

When have I said that?

If not embarrassing, then what?

I've no confidence.

It's better that I don't start.

Okay.

Let's just eat the noodles.

Alright.

What about the president?

Hey, do you think I want to be here?

I'm only here instead of her

because, to get the dress for Miss Universe sponsored,

she had to go to Designer Charles Kim's vacation home party in Jeju-do.

Oh my.

Look at her arms!

Chopsticks would call them "Hyung-nim!" (It's that thin.)

You do have good proportions, but you're way too skinny.

You have no curves!

As you prepare for Miss Universe this time, gain some weight and

create some curves.

Okay.

Alright. I'll show you what the volume is today.

Essence!

Volume, wow. Luster, wow!

For both boobs and hair, being glamorous is good.

Understand?

Is everything going well to prepare for the filming?

Yes.

It's the lipstick to be used for today's shooting.

It's one of the main products along with BB Cream that we Bada are trying to promote this year.

Wow. "Wine-ever: a lipstick that calls for a kiss."

How should I put it, both the name and the catch phrase

intoxicate a person, should I say?

Oh my gosh, Director!

Your lips are very sexy.

They demand to be kissed.

Here, baby, should we try putting this on?

The color is really dark.

Because BB cream has a very naturally toned color,

our strategy is to accentuate the lips.

I'm in the process of developing lip gloss that goes well with BB cream.

Really?

As BB gains more popularity,

something other than the dark lipsticks that were in trend thus far...

What I mean is, people will be in search of something that goes well with the natural look of BB cream,

such as lip gloss.

Well, BB cream has now been handed over to Bada, but...

that product needs to sell well...

for our product to sell well too. Basically, we're sleeping in the same bed with our enemy.

If it all works out this way, then we can get back on our feet again.

Director,

aside from advertisements, I'll actively participate in promotional events for BB cream, so please invite me.

I'll put aside everything and come running to help you.

You know that I have a lot of interest in BB cream.

51BC34.

Yep, in ratio of 2:1.

With LP70, let's try it in the ratio of 1:2:2.

Number 22 is LP70.

Here, Hwa Jeong.

Here, here.

Just a second...

Let's give this a try.

I wonder if it came out well.

I hope it goes on well.

Ah, I really hope that it would go well...

Hey, the color is pretty!

It has just the right amount of shine, too.

Hey, it goes on well.

It's not sticky either.

Hmm?

It's just right.

Hey, we need to check how long it lasts.

Kang Woo, be sure to record the ingredients and the mixing ratios well.

We can't allow any errors, even by a single milliliter!

Ah, no need to worry.

I was sure to record it well, both in my head and in the chart.

Hyeong Joon, fill this up in the tube.

I'll call sunbae at the lab, and...

I'll ask him to test out whether it's safe.

Oh, okay.

Later, when Ji Young comes by, let's have her try this on, along with the BB cream.

Okay.

Hey, the color is pretty. It looks good, right?

Oh, it's really good.

Barely noticeable, your skin looks natural. Shhh.

Ah, I'm sorry.

Oh, it's okay.

Let's try it again.

Try to lighten up your expression.

Let's try putting on a cute face. Oh, good.

Ready, cue!

Barely noticeable, your skin looks natural.

Shhh.

BB cream is the secret to having the confidence to look barefaced.

Cut! Ah, it's good.

Are you ready? Let's try again.

Ready, cue!

Barely noticeable, your skin looks natural.

Shhh.

BB cream is the secret to having the confidence to look barefaced.

Cut! Oh, it's good.

This time, let's try making it more lovely.

It'd help for you to relax your face a bit.

It's been a while.

I wonder if it's the Miss Korea "after effect."

You've become prettier since then.

You looked like you were having fun.

What brings you here?

Ah, that's right.

You were the one who tossed the BB cream to Bada, right?

So, did you come here to check it out in person?

To see if BB cream indeed got into the hands of Bada?

Anyway, I'm relieved to see that you're doing well.

From now on, we won't have anything to worry about, so...

I hope that you'd continue to live your life like this, enjoying all the luxuries you want.

The way I see it, after some time passes by,

after you become used to this kind of life,

I think you'll be able to turn around and consider me.

If you were expecting me to dump Hyeong Joon

just because his company went bankrupt,

then that's too bad.

I'm offended that you saw me as such a shallow person.

I guess you're right.

If you dumped him right away, it would've taken away the fun.

I didn't expect you to ask to see me.

This is the money I got from modeling for Bada Cosmetics' BB cream.

Let me use this to help Hyeong Joon's company develop their lip gloss.

You can't say that it's from me though.

Do you think Hyeong Joon will fall for it?

That's why you need to make up a good lie.

I'm not confident that I can do it.

I heard you have five counts on your criminal record!

I heard you were involved in fraud and blackmailing! How could you be not able to do this?

It's so easy to trick Hyeong Joon!

I'm not doing it!

You do it then, if you're so good at lying.

Nah, I can't lie to Hyeong Joon, even if I die and come back alive again.

Are you asking me to do this because you think that I'm the best at lying?

Yep.

Who else could do this?

Could the light-mouthed Oppa Hong Sam, honest Unnie Hwa Jeong, or soft-hearted Oppa Kang Woo do it?

There's no one.

Your the one who keeps his mouth shut tightly.

You're going to do it, right?

I could take it and run.

Do whatever you please. Run with it, if you want to.

Hah, geez.

I wonder if someone who likes Unnie Hwa Jeong could really do that though...

Ah, geez. This tiny kid...

she's trying to make me do as she pleases.

When I get the money from singing the supermarket and department store contracts, I'm going to give it all to you.

When that happens, be sure to hand it over to Oppa's company.

Hey, do you think they're fools?

They're Ph.D.'s!

What lies am I supposed to come up with each time? I only finished middle school!

That's why you should try using your brains.

Think of it as if you're cheating them!

Ah, seriously! Really?!

You're going to do it for me, right?

Oh, you came?

What is this?

I emptied by CD (certificate of deposit) account.

I have another account.

As soon as the term ends, I'll give it all to you.

Go ahead and try making that lip gloss.

Teacher Jeong.

Here.

Is this it?

The sample lip gloss that your company made.

Yep. Try it on.

Okay.

I (have this)...

I heard Bada is promoting this as their new item.

Really?

This color...

is one that Bada has never failed to sell.

BB cream changed the way how the skin gets showed off.

Do you think the usual old method will work?

Then should we test it out?

I'll show you two types of lips, so...

vote on the one you think looks prettier by raising your hand.

Okay?

I think Ji Young looks the prettiest when she's not wearing any makeup.

Me too!

Ah, this is really important!

Focus and be sure to take a good look.

Okay.

Here we go...

This one's number 1.

You saw this, right? Compare this to...

This one's number 2.

Now, raise your hand if number 1, "Ji Young with lip gloss", looked prettier.

Raise your hand if number 2,"Ji Young with wine-colored lips", looked prettier.

It's a 2:2 tie.

Oh...

The place where all trends begin is here, in front of a women's university.

If we see people respond well, then it's going to be a hit.

If people's don't respond, then we're doomed.

I know.

Hey, what if someone sees us?

Your photo is right here, next to us! What if someone recognizes you?

I'm covered up.

Is there something you're looking for?

The one shown out in front...

Ah, that's a new product.
