Miss Korea

Episode 18

This is in front of a women's university where all trends begin. If we see people respond well, then it's going to be a hit.

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

I know that, too.

Hey, someone will see... geez.

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

I'm covered up.

Is there anything specific you're looking for?

The one shown out in front...

Ah, that's a new product.

Try it on.

The secret touch that I have confidence in - BB cream.

The queen's outing will be much simpler. You can also...

Does the lipstick color match well there?

Director Kim came to the shooting personally for her to wear it.

Saying that it is a new Spring item for Bada Cosmetics.

They are trying to show that her skin seems natural as if she is not wearing any makeup.

But they are going for a bold lipstick on the other hand.

Hyung- nim.

Where did you buy these clothes?

During Bada Cosmetics events, since they are insisting on wearing that wine color, I'll let her.

But to me, the wine color on top of wearing BB cream seems to make her face look like it's floating.

What do you think?

Hyung- nim. When you get tired of this outfit, make sure to give it to me.

Okay? Wow, there is plenty of room around the waist. It's perfect!

I got it!

I'm asking you what you think about that lipstick color!

What about it?

Well, truthfully, that color

suits people who are older like you and me, but

it does seem to make young girls look older.

If you say it nicely, it makes you look mature and sexy.

But she is trying to look purer and younger

and that's why she is using BB cream.

Wearing that color, how should I say it...

It looks a little unbalanced.

Isn't that so?

What should we do then?

Omo, omo? What do you mean, "What should we do?"

Do you know how much Ji Young is receiving from Bada Cosmetics as their model?

Hey! Then she can wear wine color only during Bada Cosmetics events!

She can wear something else at other times.

- What other times? - That's our job!

Finding the perfect color for Ji Young's face and making her image!

This woman should lay low and work many times harder, since you came back under me.

And you are trying to just take it for free?

Then if a CF company pays and tells her to wear soybean paste or poop, then you would do that?

Geez, this woman!

Whether it's 100 or 1000 different brands, we will try on every single one and test them

to make Ji Young's image. Just keep that in mind.

Alright. You are being so difficult during your menopause...

You're going to give this to me, aren't you?

Geez!

College girls are not interested in the lipstick yet.

It's probably because BB cream is still new and unfamiliar.

They will try BB cream first and then will think about what kind of lipstick will suit better.

Were we rushing too much?

No. I'm sure there will be a good reaction soon.

Lipsticks are inexpensive, so girls are more easily prone to open their wallets.

More than anything else, if you change your look using a different lipstick, your entire look seems totally different.

I'm sure there will be a quick response.

If can grab that trend, all girls will be wearing the same lipstick.

Just wait and see.

It feels like night time and I feel frustrated.

There are a lot of people. Put it back on quickly.

No one's recognizing me.

I think I'll stand out more by wearing this inside.

They will just think that you got a double eye lid surgery. Just put in back on quickly. They will recognize you

When I was working in a department store,

when I came here to eat Ddokbbokgi with the other elevator girls, I used to feel embarrassed.

Everyone else who was eating Ddokbbokgi seemed to be college students, except for us.

Gee, such useless thoughts. Really.

I know, right.

Oppa, have you eaten ddeobokki here?

Yeah.

When?

Huh?

When I was in college, during a meeting.

With a female student who went to this university?

Yeah.

So, why did you ask? Should I have lied?

You haven't kept one promise with me, have you?

I did it after I broke up with you.

So, did you date that female student who you ate ddeobokki here with?

Yeah.

How long did you date her? Did you date her longer than me?

There is no benefit in knowing my past. So don't ask about it.

Then, not forgetting his first love,

and not meeting any girl for 10 years is a normal guy?

That's more weird, girl!

Ask about my past, too.

I will also tell you everything in detail honestly.

Me... I'm not at all curious about your past.

Are you looking down on my past?

Yes, I am.

You're not curious about the guys I dated after you?

I'm not curious.

Why aren't you curious?

Because I'm here, in front of you, like 10 years ago.

Hey, no, you can't. Go over there.

Let's just sit side by side and eat.

No, you can't. Go over there.

What are you doing? I told you not to be obvious.

It's all cooked, so you can eat it right away.

- Yes. - Yes.

Excuse me, are you perhaps this year's winner of Miss Korea?

Pardon?

Ah... Yes.

Omo! Nice to meet you! You came to my store.

Wow, you are so pretty.

Hello?

Oh, did you page me?

Anyway, thanks for taking all my employees.

Let's meet.

Now?

What's going on?

Did you know it, too?

What?

That Ji Young turned 26 on the day of the final competition.

You didn't know?

What are you talking about?

On the day you are born, you get one year older.

People get confused about it. (Editor's note:In Korea, everyone gets 1 year older on New Year's Day, not on your birthday)

That's probably why the committee accepted Ji Young's application without any question.

What are you talking about?

It's been a while since Ji Young won the crown in front of the whole country.

The pageant committee didn't anything to us, either.

Also how did you know about this?

Directory Kim Gwang Shik of Bada Cosmetics let me know about it.

Hyung Kang Shik?

Yeah.

Did that person say anything?

Is he trying to harm Ji Young with this secret?

Luckily, I was able to put a stop to it while handing over Vi Vi Cosmetics.

When I offered to lower the acquisition price, he took it up right away.

But you know this, too. That he's not very trustworthy.

Even if she ends up losing the crown,

we have to find a way not to hurt Ji Young as much as possible.

Okay, thanks.

I need to go somewhere. Let me go and find out about something.

But why are you telling me this, instead of telling Ji Young personally?

You even took a loss by playing the black knight.

This would've been a good opportunity to gain some points from Ji Young. Then why?

Don't let Ji Young know.

I guess you really like Ji Young.

Aren't you getting off?

All this time, I just thought you coveted Ji Young.

I didn't know that you sincerely liked her.

Why are there no customers?

Nowadays...

Hello.

Well, Father...

- About Ji Young's birthday... - Yes?

Is Ji Young's age recorded to be older than she really is...

or maybe perhaps her birth dates was recorded

a bit too early? Maybe?

What kind of nonsense is he saying?

Ji Young's age is accurate.

Her birthday is also accurate.

Winter solstice. December, 22.

Sister- in- law had a sudden contraction while in the middle of making Dongjijook (special solstice bean porridge)

so we took her to the hospital. Park Obstetrics and Gynecology in Cheolsan- dong.

- Yes. - That's right. That's right.

Why are you suddenly asking about Ji Young's date of birth? Huh?

It's nothing.

Yes, I'll be going up.

No, wait... Then, perhaps what time was Ji Young born?

I think Ji Young was born a little past 10 PM.

10 PM?

No, it wasn't.

I think it was about 8 PM.

8 o'clock? 8 PM?

That's right!

It was before the 9 PM news started.

You know I really have a good memory.

Yes. I'm going up.

Geez...

Uncle, it's in Cheolsan- dong, right?

Why is he acting like that?

I don't know.

Why is he all of sudden asking Ji Young's Four Pillars of Destiny? (Birth date/time for checking marriage compatibility)

Four Pillars of Destiny (conceptual term that describes the four components creating a person's destiny or fate)?

He just now asked the year, month, day and hour of her birth.

That punk... Is he trying to find out about his marital compatibility with Ji Young?

Marital compatibility?

We made the first batch with the fund that Teacher Jeong provide us with.

We wouldn't have been able to make these without Teacher Jeong.

If we make it in tubes, we can lower the cost by 30 cents.

It's not applying well.

Really? - Yeah.

If you use your finger

and apply, it's much better, right?

Hey, if a woman is to user her finger, the finger has to be clean.

That's a bit of problem.

That's true. Do you want to try this one?

Yeah.

You can apply this one along the lip line.

Then the cost will go up by 30 cents.

Then the price at the store will be over $5.

Shouldn't it be lower than $5 for a symbolic reason?

Since Bada's lipsticks cost about $15,

that would make it 3 to 1.

So, you can buy 3 of ours with the money for one of Bada's

and you can change it to match the clothes on a daily basis.

You can enjoy having options of lip color for the next morning. That could be our marketing direction.

Ah, sorry. I'll leave. I talked nonsense again.

No, Teacher Jeong.

You're right.

Here, eat this while working.

Oh, you didn't need to bring this...

Thank you.

Ji Young's...

Oh, Uncle.

Huh?

Uncle...

Tell us if you need more.

It must be a nuisance to have all of us going in and out of your house. We apologize.

No, it's not.

Your work...

We'll enjoy them! - We'll enjoy eating them!

Hey! (Offer him some.)

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

Aigoo...

I'm sorry about before.

It's fine.

I did that because I was jealous. I'm an idiot.

I wasn't looking down on you for graduation from only middle school.

This feels awkward.

Stop already.

Oppas! I'm home!

Wait... what's is this? You'll be thirsty without any beverage.

Geez! If you're going to give them steamed buns, you should give them something to drink, too!

They'll choke to death, Grandpa.

They need to have a beer in order for ideas to blossom.

And snacks that will go with the beer.

Where are the peanuts?

Oppa, get some peanuts for me.

I don't want to.

Why don't you give the whole store to them?

The business is so slow these days.

- Here! - What is all this?

Here, let's have a beer.

And let your ideas flow.

Here... But, where is Oppa Hyeong Joon?

Dr. Park's OB/GYN Clinic

Miss Korea contest started at 6 PM and finished at 9 PM.

That means if Ji Young was born after 9 PM,

she wasn't a year older during the time of the competition.

If you do go that deep in to the hours and minutes counting ages,

then you're right.

Welcome!

Should we try this?

Welcome!

Bada Cosmetics BB Cream

Director, this is a big hit!

Even with all hands on deck at the factory,

it's hard to meet the order deadlines for BB cream!

Along with that, orders for the wine lipstick are also pouring in.

Got it. Keep up the good work!

Bye!

Thank you.

Enjoy your products.

Good bye.

Welcome!

Thanks, Oh Ji Young!

Keep up the good work!

You're overstepping right now.

I'm not asking you to put this on Ji Young unconditionally.

Just let us compete on a level field.

I'm only interested in Ji Young's lips.

Whether it's a lipstick from a well- known cosmetics company

or a lipstick from her boyfriend.

A product that suits her the best

that will help establish her identity s a celebrity for the future.

I'm looking for a lipstick and a color like that.

Of course, you should. You should do that.

I wouldn't want to force Ji Young to wear something that's not suitable for her

only to save myself. I can't do that, either.

You cannot choose your own lipstick by yourself.

You know, right?

Yes, I'll follow your wishes.

Take it off.

How is it, Hyung- nim?

Take if off please.

Take it off!

This is it!

Geez, my arm is going to fall off.

How is it, Hyung- nim?!

Take it off...

That's right!

Don't smile.

Lip gloss does not have any market response.

BB Cream is flying off the shelves.

Along with the wine color lipstick that Ji Young is promoting in TV ads.

What should we do?

It's a problem that people don't even get a chance to try our product.

What about we make samples of the lip gloss,

and give to a customer who buys a BB Cream

and only to customers who buy BB Cream along with other samples that they usually get.

So, when they use BB, they'll get to try our lip gloss as well.

For free?

Do we have the money?

If the sample is free, there's no money back for us.

If there's no market response after that stint, it will be the end for us.

If we back down now, it's worse that we never started.

Since everyone has bought a BB cream,

now is the best time to change the current lipstick trend.

I know it's a risk, but let's try it once more. I'll somehow get some funding for this.

I paid off all my debt when we sold the company.

I can get loans now.

Did you withdraw your savings again?

Yeah.

Isn't it what you saved up for your wedding?

I can't accept any more of your money.

How are you going to do it?

You just think it will happen.

Wow. You've got a lot of money!

You look like a totally different person now that you have a lot of money.

What, do I look cool or something?

Where did you get that money?

It's not yours, is it?!!

It's mine.

Isn't it dangerous money you borrowed from loan shark because of me?!!

To make me run the company again with the guys

so I won't study, right?!!

That's not it, Doctor.

Are you really going to live dangerously and recklessly like this?!!

I'm investing in you guys. Why do you call it reckless?!!

I don't know much about women and cosmetics stuff,

but, while following you guys around, I could see your products are really good!

The market doesn't know it yet, but it will definitely see the light.

When that happens, I'll get back twice as much.

Don't worry, Doctor.

If you act like this when I can't accept your heart, I will really end up becoming a b**ch!

Seriously!

You are never going to be a b**ch!

I'm the rotten one!

If you want to leave to study, then go.

There's no man worse than

the bastard who would hold you back from studying!

Do you really want me to go?

Can I go (to France) to study?

Yeah.

Don't do this if you're going to go.

If you go (to France) to study after doing this,

what am I supposed to...

What about you?

Never mind.

If I go (abroad) to study after doing this,

will I get beaten to death?

I guess I'll get beaten to death or something, then.

Don't go to study.

Can't you stop studying?

What are you doing?

Natural moisturizing pack.

My lips aren't my lips today, Oppa.

Why?

I think I repeated putting and removing (the lip gloss) on my lips like hundred times.

I feel like my lips are falling apart.

You did a lot of tests today, huh?

Yeah.

Let me take a look.

You did putting it on and removing it too many times,

so it has so many wrinkles.

You have so many wrinkles of worry around your eyes, too.

I wonder who made so many wrinkles around your eyes.

If I were to be born again, I wouldn't want to run a business.

Why?

Doing a business with someone else's money is sheer torture, so I can't do it.

If I end up wasting even Teacher Jeong's money this time, I'm really going to be...

No. You can do it.

You can do it.

Alright. This.

It's money I got from a different contract.

The money from last time is all spent, right?

I'm going to stop conning them.

You keep it.

Why aren't you receiving it?!

What do I do, then?!

With what money are they going to make samples, then?!

Birth Certificate Date & Time of Birth: 12/22/1971, 10:10 PM

Okay!

Hello.

Yes, Ji Young! It's me.

Come out for a bit.

What's the occasion?

I can't, now.

Well, hello. Hey, Ji...

Ah, really. Not even knowing what's going on.

Okay. It's actually better you don't know it.

Alright. You all are about ready, right?

In international competitions,

one of the important things they look at is sociability.

The setting in which that can be judged best is the parties.

Therefore, being able to properly enjoy parties is also

part of the training.

Sit down quickly.

For your information, in my training session from now on, except when I'm explaining things,

everyone will talk in English.

Do you understand?

Okay!

Okay.

Hold on one minute.

But why is Chief Yoon teaching again, and where is President Ma?

You didn't know this, but

he's actually studied abroad.

In New York at that.

So, English and things like party manners...

He's in charge of those things.

No way.

But... when you aren't even entering international competitions,

why are you here?

Stay off my business.

Baby, do you think one learns these things only for competitions?

In this global age, learning these things will be beneficial one way or another.

Where did you learn to be so mean? Don't be that way!

How dare you claim your turf?

Sorry.

We'll now start studying different countries' greeting manners.

First, in most European countries as well as in the U.S.,

they greet each other by shaking hands.

Thank you for inviting me.

Thank you for inviting me.

Something's wrong with your tongue?

Thank you for inviting me.

Thank you. "Th", "θ" sound!

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Next, in case of Central and South American countrieslike Argentina, Venezuela and Chile,

you kiss each other's hand as you shake hands.

Give me your hand.

What the hell?

I'm telling President Ma!

Do it, properly! FM, FM! (By the book)

Next, for passionate southern European countries like France, Italy and Spain,

kiss each other's cheek lightly.

Kiss? That's good. Kiss!

Ugh, seriously!

Those guys are really passionate like this!

I told you to do it lightly. Not heavily.

Okay. As long as you are not lovers, just give a quick little peck.

Perform.

What is next? I'm so curious.

Next! Next!

In Spain,

they sometimes embraces each other and turn around.

Like this? Like this?

If we have to do it, we might as well enjoy it.

That's how you can remember well. Isn't that right, my babies?

One of the pet peeves during a party is

leaving lipstick marks on the wine glasses.

Other than Jae Hee's, everyone else is no good.

Jae Hee, do it again, please.

All you have to do is just brush off the glass rim with your thumb

each time you take a sip.

Excellent!

Applaud.

What is she saying?

You, fool.

You have to wipe it with your thumb.

Do you have to know English to understand it? Thumb, thumb, thumb.

Choon Ja, be quiet, please!

Oh Ji Young, NG (no good)!

Even if it's just a cookie or a finger food,

it's not a good manner to eat it without taking it to your plate first.

Yang Choon Ja, NG!

Eating while walking ignobly is also an NG!

Choi Soo Yeon, NG!

Fixing your makeup during the party is also an NG.

I know it's late, but here's the missing paperwork.

I'm here to submit this.

You can see this, right?

You see?

The day of the pageant in December.

But she was born at 10:10PM.

10:10 in the evening.

The pageant was finished at 9pm.

So, she WAS 25 at the time of pageant.

Oh Ji Young was not disqualified for over- age.

I'm right, right?

Huh?

What are you doing these days since your company went down?

Is there anything I can help you with?

Hyung- nim.

Congratulations on your BB Cream success. Please sell more and more of it.

That's how you can help me.

Got it?

Birth Certificate

Then, there's no problem now, right?

Thank you!

There is absolutely no problem now.

So, this is how Oh Ji Young looks like everyday?

She's pretty!

I know, right?

What kind of lip color is she using?

It's not Wine- Ever, is it?

No.

It looks nice.

- Have you picked out what you want? - We have.

If you buy a BB Cream, I'll get you some samples to go with.

Really?

Here.

What is this?

Try it when you use the BB Cream.

Let's take a look at this.

Which side is better?

Is the straight side better?

I think wavy is the way to go with the Wine- Ever.

How about we just use some hair essence to give luster

and leave the hair as straight?

Straight hair goes hand in hand with natural lips.

Luster up! Column up!

Go ahead and get it.

Hello?

Oh Ji Young.

Manager Park?

You'll need to come by the Department Store.

What's the occasion?

It's a good thing, so just come by.

I'm busy right now.

Don't act cute that now you're the Miss Korea winner.

Hey, I am going to make you my department store's spokesperson,

so shut up and come by.

The higher- ups were against it, but since were have history

I pushed it forward.

If it's regarding an advertisement deal, please speak with the President Ma of Queen Beauty Salon.

Then.

Hey!

Are you acting up since you've got a (Miss Korea) crown?

Someone like you cannot act all high and mighty!

If you are not nice to me, getting the advertisement deal and all...

Will disappear, huh!

Is it going well?

Managing Director.

Make sure to engage Ms. Oh Ji Young at all cost.

Whatever it takes,

have her join us.

If our previous employee becomes a spokesperson for Dongah Department Store,

it won't reflect well on us.

Yes, I understand.

Good bye.

Oh Ji Young. This girl...

Don't get nervous.

Yes.

I talked your mother on the phone.

You don't have to go to England for study...

You don't have to go, if you really don't want to.

Assemblyman...

I've only thought

you're my obstacle in my political career,

I've never thought that

I am an obstacle in your life.

Well,

it did become somewhat crazy around me,

but if I still deny your existence,

I am

not a human- being, let alone a decent politician.

There won't be a lot of things that's going to change now

that you're known as my daughter.

I don't expect such things.

However,

could I walk you down the aisle when you get married?

Of course.

Assemblyman,

would you make some time for me later?

Ah, do you still have business left with me?

Of course, I do.

These days, politics is also all about "images".

Your hairstyle...

If you let me,

I'll make your political career peak all over again.

Let's do that.

Let's see

President Ma's skills!

If you purchase a BB Cream,

we'll give you this as a sample. Try this.

President!

Is it true that you're handing out this lip gloss sample when a customer purchases a BB Cream?

Huh?

It's not like we're giving just this,

but along with other samples.

Is there a reason that I can't do that?

Have you forgot my request to promote BB Cream and Wine- Ever lipstick together?

What the...

Director Kim!

Hyung!

What are you doing?

Hey! These lip glosses are yours, aren't they?

Yes, they are. So?

Talk about being sly!

BB Cream is not your!

Get a hold of yourself!

What?

You're handing out free lip gloss samples on the street

telling people they go well together.

You're going way overboard in this harsh economic market.

You must be out of your mind.

So, you're telling me that you're competing against me, again?

Let us both survive!

Both?

Let's make it through this. Both of us!

Hey, you! Kim Hyeong Joon!

I have no intention of making it through with you.

These are the five best candidates?

Yes, Hyungnim.

How was this, Hyungnim?

How was that?

I think this looked the best on Ji Young.

She didn't look too pale and lifeless?

Oh, Hyungnim, Ji Young's skin is so fair

that rather than a dark color, t his kind of pastel peach shade looks much better on her.

She became Miss Korea at her age!

This suits the best to keep her look younger!

It's right on.

Oh, my world, I'm Yang Choon Ja, Yang Choon Ja!

Not you.

Display them in the store,

and when other actresses are doing their makeup tell them to try using it.

Saying that it's lip gloss but has good color that it's very user friendly.

Yes.

ViVi Cosmetics?

Oh my! If it's Vivi, President Kim?

They didn't go bankrupt? Good for them.

But still, you should make the final decision.

What would you choose?

Oh, there it is.

♫ From when I was young, in my heart. ♫

Oh, oh! Just a moment!

♫ I'm showing off a bit right now, ♫

Which floor are you going to?

Yes? Ah, the second floor.

Second floor is for Ladies' Fashion.

Ah, yes, thank you.

♫ When will I be able to handle these things, ♫

♫ Couldn't help anyone. ♫

♫ The days that are stained with my tears, ♫

♫ The thing that I missed, ♫

Notice: We no longer employee elevator operators due to management decision.

Are we really the only elevator girls left in this world?

We must be.

♫ Even if the dark shadows are erased, ♫

Hey, let's survive until the end.

and in 2000 and even 2010,

let's say, "Going up." and "Going down."

Drink, drink.

This is the basement 3rd floor parking lot.

Good bye.

♫ And I ♫

♫ will stay in a cozy attic ♫

♫ in your memories ♫

You're getting a negative performance evaluation!

I really didn't fart.

Do you think that customers come to our department store to smell your farts?!

How dare the likes of you fart in this divine customer space?

Hey, can't you control your own farts?

You should hold it and go out and fart.

Fart in your own room.

When you're here, not just you,

but your farts have to follow my orders, don't you know!?

Even so,

Is it because you think your name will come out a lot of times, is that it?

When I first heard that our previous employee is competing in the final round of Miss Korea,

I got this feeling right away.

Even if you modeled for us I think your sincerity would be contained (in your work) so our expectations are high.

So aren't I also working very hard Director?

Anyway, going forward regarding the advertising contract and activities,

Manager Park will be in charge of it so

make sure to discuss it well together.

Director, I have one request.

Oh, please go ahead and talk.

As for the official contract I will consult with the Beauty Salon Director that cultivates me and continue with it,

but before that,

I was wondering if we could change the contract manager.

Please change the person to someone else.

Is there a special reason why it can't be Manager Park?

I don't really want to say that reason with my own mouth.

Oh Ji Young.

You speak like that in front of the Director?

The likes of you... to me?

Are you returning favors with betrayal?

Don't you have the least standards of manners or propriety?

Returning favors with betrayal?

Yes, that's right

I had forgotten for a moment your grace.

Your countless sexual harassment cases

that I was confused whether my thighs are my own or yours.

Your numerous insults like "you're uneducated and dumb." "Pour me a drink" or "Dance for me".

In addition to the physical assaults of slapping my face for your own stress relief.

Are you crazy?

Thinking about the grace you showed me for seven years,

I'm about to cry from the gratitude I feel.

Should I go back to his office and tell him about my grateful heart?

What?

This thief... you...

If I didn't overlook your thievery,

would you have been able to dream of being Miss Korea?

And because you're Miss Korea Jin, you're

putting on airs as you go around,

who is that because?

I even gave you such high scores...I...

If you keep this up,

you stealing company product,

I'll make that public, huh!

If I say one word, even today, you're finished!

Then go ahead.

I'm saying to go ahead.

My mistake in borrowing the Department Store's clothes for a short bit

I should have reported to the company honestly and waited administrative reprimand.

I regret that a lot.

But...

You also have to make it public

that you extorted the entirety of my voluntary retirement pay and the 6 weeks severance pay,

you'll have to confess the truth to the company.

What? Hey.

Are you saying this because you have evidence?

Is that all?

Now to all of the elevator girls that have been fired,

You tempted them with lies saying, "I won't fire you,"

they couldn't eat well or dress well,

and that you swallowed every crumb of their savings, that they saved like an ant's tears in such small increments,

you will have to confess it all openly.

What?

Be thankful, Manager Park.

Thanks to you,

I am being asked to become a spokesperson

from the work place where it made me feel bad.

It's all because of you Manager Park.

Now they're all fired.

Looking at the elevator with no one left,

thinking of my colleagues,

can I really stand as a Department Store model?

Eh?!

Where did you go without telling me?

President,

would you like to have a glass of soju with me?

Have this President.

I have hands, too.

Hey, ahhh, please eat this.

President, there's something I'm curious about.

What is it?

Do you think my lips... look good on me right now?

Now you're showing your true colors.

On my face that looks like I'm not wearing any makeup,

isn't the lip gloss that I'm wearing now really pretty?

Don't I look the prettiest right now, and natural?

And so?

I'm just saying.

Where did you go earlier without telling me?

To the department store.

Do you not want to do the modeling for Dream Department Store?

It looks as if you don't want to do it.

Oh, why would I not want to do it, when they're paying me?

What are you doing with your modeling money?

Excuse me?

You aren't buying yourself a car like others do.

And you're not buying, carrying or wearing designer names.

And it doesn't appear that you're going around eating expensive foods.

What are you doing with all that money?

Even if I don't want to, I'm going to model for Dream Department Store.

I need the money.

You need to earn money, so even if you don't want to,

you're going to model for Dream Department Store?

It's okay.

Are you happy?

After becoming Miss Korea, I'm asking if you're happy?

And you?

It's been thirty years for me.

It hasn't even been three months for you.

That's why. How curious would I be at your answer?

I'm happy.

I'm... not yet.

But, it gives me strength, your answer.

President, please accept this.

Why did you come out here? It's cold.

Then, what about you?

Oh... she's late today.

Go in, it's cold.

It's awkward.

What is?

Being just the two of us (Hwa Jeong and I).

Whoa, how did you muster up your courage to like her?

You really are brave!

Teacher Jeong, you're an amazing man!

Really...

So, then what...

So Sunbae Hwa Jeong is not going to France?

Well, her going... not yet.

What is this? Limited time only relationship?

Huh?

Then you're just going to like her until she leaves?

Who said that?

Then?

I'll have to stop her from going somehow.

And I'll have to somehow stop her from studying.

How?

I don't know.

Then just live with her. Move in together.

Don't let her go.

What?

You take care of yourself!

Could you do that?

You can't even do it and you're telling me to.

I'm living with her now. I am now.

Is this living with her? You're just living here.

You have to use the same room.

And share a blanket.

Manager, you can't take the samples? Why are you doing this so suddenly?

I can't take anything from you now.

Here, all this, too. Take them all.

Aiy, what's the matter? What's the reason?

Director Kim from Bada Cosmetics said that

If I take your samples, Bada Cosmetics said they'll completely pull everything off the sales floor.

It isn't just our store.

He spread his employees to all the cosmetics stores,

and they're digging through the inventory and checking all the samples like crazy.

Don't be like this and consider our situation.

If you don't take them, who will?

I said that I can't!

If you want to continue in this field, then appease Director Kim somehow.

The samples aren't the problem.

If it continues like this, even if you make the products, there won't be any stores who will take them.

What crazy person would give up Bada Cosmetics to take your products?

There's only one way.

We establish our own brand's retail store.

As long as we have our own store, we can go with our ultra- low pricing policy that we initially planned.

With the distribution cost cut down like that,

we can meet the $3 unit cost for the lip gloss.

There is no such thing as a brand retail store in this country. Would it work?

Even big companies like Bada don't have their own stores.

And the only product we have is lip gloss.

Would people even come into a store that only sells lip gloss?

And we don't have much market recognition, either.

And it isn't like we have the ability to make TV commercials.

Would people come in if it weren't for free?

That's it, free marketing.

Are you crazy?

Why would you give things away for free? Do you want to go bankrupt, AGAIN?

I'm not saying that we're giving them out for free.

Then?

We're only giving them for free to those who bring their cosmetics pouches and show us their BB cream.

Only during the special grand opening period.

We're focusing on the ones who use BB cream frequently.

We're saying that this lip gloss looks good with BB cream.

In the situation we're in,

The only way we can survive is with BB cream.

What do you think?

Are we going to give up like this, or are we going to lay it all on the line and give it another shot?

I think I'd go to the store if they were going to give it to me for free.

Right?

We're giving away lip gloss for free.

If you have BB cream, you can get lip gloss.

First Love lip gloss. If you use BB cream, First Love lip gloss

is given for free.

For those who have BB cream, inside the store

Hello!

This First Love lip gloss is a really good product.

It's free today!

Now, ViVI Cosmetics...

In this era of IMF,

For those who have BB cream, lip gloss is free today.

Please take a flyer. Thank you!

People are going to come in like a cloud.

Like a cloud, they're going to get our lip gloss. They will.

Of course they should.

They will.

Isn't that Oh Ji Young? It is Oh Ji Young.

It does look like Oh Ji Young.

It must be her.

It's really her.

They're coming, they're coming!

Yes, Mother. This is the First Love Lip Gloss. Thank you!
