Original subtitles

There was a man...

who said good shoes take people to good places,

but I hated it when he said that.

It was like giving false hope.

So I said it's wrong.

I said all the time...

that he was wrong,

but today,

he was right.

(Fate and Fury)

The ship is coming in. Let's hurry.

We have to inspect it.

Goodness, it's fine. Let's eat first.

- Salute. - Take care.

(Busan)

(Episode 1)

(Koo Dong Suk, Handmade Shoes Master Certification)

He Ra, this is all we have for this month.

- They're cracking down on us hard. - Great work.

What?

It's fine you have money, but why do you look good too?

What's this now? He's getting married to Cha Soo Hyun the anchor?

You know, right?

Cha Soo Hyun is my dream girl.

Don't you know her?

"This is Cha Soo Hyun of SBC 8 o'clock News." Don't you know?

Finish this off.

There's a lot of work today.

But He Ra, I have somewhere to be.

What time is it?

I told you to fix your dad's watch.

Look at this.

Give it back when I ask nicely.

They're here. Be careful.

It's a crackdown. Lock the door.

Hurry up.

Oh, my.

Hey!

Come here!

Hey! Stop!

He said good shoes take people to good places.

He's wrong.

People wearing good shoes are in good places already.

Putting on a different pair of shoes changes your life?

Never.

- What are you doing? - Hurry.

Stop!

Hey!

I almost lost my VIP client to the police.

The police keep raiding your shop these days.

I guess you can't make fake shoes anymore.

Let's discuss how you will pay the rest of your debt.

I only see one thing that you can sell though.

- I'm not going to sell myself. - What?

I said I'm not going to sell myself, you jerk.

What are you talking about?

Who would buy you?

There are so many girls out there who are younger and prettier.

I do feel bad for you, you know.

You studied in Italy, but you're making fake shoes now.

Your experience in Italy.

Should we put that to use again?

You startled me.

Don't you ever mention that again.

You're the craziest girl in the world.

Just clear your schedule for three days starting from tomorrow.

There's an Italian businessman coming here.

Take him to places like Gukje Market, and be his interpreter.

Here. Get yourself some better clothes,

and put on some makeup for goodness' sake.

Just look at your face. You look terrible as if...

you're pestered by loan sharks.

See you later then.

Scumbag.

(Hyun Joo's hospital)

Hello?

(Gold Group's New Building Site in Gonjiam)

Tae Jung Ho!

It may not be legitimate, but I'm still your older brother on paper.

And yet, you always use your fist first.

Are we going to do this now? Or after you say your piece?

Look.

I've spent three years trying to build a new shoe factory here.

Get your shovel out of here.

A new shopping mall?

Knock it off.

Listen to you talking so crudely like that.

That's your problem.

How much is this pair of shoes?

These shoes you made. 150 dollars?

200 dollars?

How much do you think this land is then?

You're wasting this precious land...

just to make your cheap shoes. Do you realize that?

- What did you just say? - Hey!

The value of your shoes falls by half as soon as people buy them.

Maybe by a quarter.

Even at this moment when you're throwing a fit,

the value of this land is rising by the second.

I'm going to double it by building a new shopping mall.

Can you say that I'm wrong?

If you want to brag about being Dad's legitimate son,

you have to beat me first.

I will make you pay for this later.

Convince the board of directors, and get Dad's approval.

Then I, his love child, will give up this land.

Hello.

I'm sorry. Here.

Look here.

You hardly ever visit your sister, and you don't answer your phone.

Apparently, you haven't paid her hospital bills for two months.

You said you'd pay me last month, but you still haven't.

I'm sorry. I've been having some financial trouble.

- I'll pay you soon. - Look.

If you're having trouble, just transfer your sister.

She can breathe on her own.

Don't keep her in a rehabilitation hospital. It's expensive.

No. She needs to get treated.

My sister will wake up.

Then pay me on time!

Listen. I'm going to cut your sister's hair.

The back of her neck keeps festering...

- because of her hair. - No!

What do you mean?

It's hard to treat bed sores.

She's a bed bound patient anyway.

I said no. Don't treat her like this just because she's not aware.

Taking care of her is what I pay you for.

Why are you yelling at me?

Frankly, you've never paid me on time.

If you don't like it so much, find another caretaker.

Gosh, I can't put up with this anymore.

What? What did you say?

You little...

Jung Min, are you okay?

You must be out of your mind.

I just took care of your illicit admission issue.

Now, you drove drunk?

I did drink,

but I didn't drive drunk.

What should I do about this blockhead?

Get her out of my sight.

Stay abroad for a while.

No! I'm not going anywhere.

- Hey, Jung Min. - That little...

Shouldn't you go stop him?

Gosh, honey.

Please calm down.

Guys, what are you doing?

Stop your dad.

Jung Soo, take him to his room.

These kids are making trouble one after the other!

It's a sign of ruin!

You, get that girl out of the country.

You, go and deal with the reporters now.

You, follow me inside.

Take care of this properly, or you will hear someone wailing tomorrow.

Get lost, you morons!

Don't just stand there.

I'm sorry, Mother.

My goodness.

Aren't you going to clean this up?

I'm sorry, Mother.

Hey. You did that on purpose because I told you...

to clean it up, didn't you?

No, Mother.

Look. You're not the rich Chairman Ko's daughter anymore.

It's been a long time...

since your annoying family went bankrupt.

Be grateful that we haven't kicked you out. Do you hear me?

Thank you, Mother.

"Thank you, Mother."

So when are you going to give up?

I'm going to keep going until the end.

The shoemaking business is no longer prosperous.

Look for something else to do.

But before that,

I want you to marry Chairman Cha's daughter first.

I'm still going to keep doing it...

because it's what my mom used to do.

Until when are you going to continue acting like a teenager?

Until you sincerely apologize to both me...

and my mom who passed away.

We'll close the rawhide deal within this week...

and begin our collaboration with Centan Department Store.

I'm going to build additional production facilities...

on our land in Gonjiam no matter what.

Please take Jung Ho out of it.

He's in charge of the construction business and brings great results.

You'll just have to win over the directors by beating him.

I'm going to give it to the one who wins.

Everything will get settled once you marry Chairman Cha's daughter.

Why do you even hesitate?

You'll even be able to build your new factory there.

I said I'll give you everything if you marry her.

You better hurry up and get married.

Then you can do whatever you want as you wish.

Are you done eavesdropping? Or is there more for you to hear?

What are you talking about? I couldn't even hear anything.

Did you eat?

Hey.

You should be nicer to Jung Ho.

After all, he'll be taking over the group soon.

More importantly, he's your older brother.

Is that so?

You're becoming more and more...

like your mother as you grow up.

What did you just call her?

How else am I supposed to call her?

It's not like I can refer to her as "your dead mother".

The least you can do is not talk about my mom at all.

Aren't you old enough to know that much now?

What?

I'm going to come back.

I won't get kicked out so easily.

Conglomerate heirs' lack of morality is becoming a problem these days.

In addition to their abuse of power,

Gold Group's third daughter also got caught drunk driving.

We don't even expect "noblesse oblige" from them.

We don't even expect them to set a good example,

but would it be too much to ask them to at least be normal?

Don't you agree, Soo Hyun?

- Today... - You're right.

But there's also one thing that's very important.

It's to be careful...

not to release witch-hunting reports based on false facts.

We'll see you again with honest and fair reports.

That is all for today.

Thank you for watching.

Have you gone mad?

How dare you butt in and say that, you brat?

Look at her.

She doesn't even know what she did wrong.

Hey, I can't continue working with her.

Good job, everyone.

I brought something nice.

This is driving me crazy.

Why does your family always cause so much trouble?

You know I have to read out what they do every day at 8pm, right?

Why do you guys always put me in a pickle?

I'm sorry.

Listen to me, In Joon.

You should be saying, "It's really hard for me too."

But the fact that you smiled only tells me that you don't care.

You mean just like how you smiled in front of the entrance?

I don't have the energy to fight.

I saw a few familiar paparazzi,

so I put up an act for the sake of your company's stocks.

Do you want to marry me or become my business partner?

Which one do you prefer more?

Business partner.

Then let's say I want to marry you.

And about Busan...

Your dad sent me tickets so that I can go there and help.

You know my family's...

the most powerful family in Busan, right?

My dad reserved that hotel for you.

I roughly knew about it.

Roughly?

That's not enough.

So much money's being poured into that.

You said you need to seal the deal no matter what.

How do you know everything?

Because we need Centan Department Store...

in order to have full control of Gold Shoes.

I want to marry a conglomerate.

I'll leave in about an hour or two.

You can sleep or do whatever you want.

This is the symbol of Busan,

Gwangandaegyo.

It's a must-visit place...

for all tourists that come here.

Let's go to the next spot.

I'll take these.

I want all of these too.

This place only sells the best fabric in Busan.

They sell the fabric in bundles like this.

What do you think of this kind of leather?

It's soft.

You're good with men, aren't you?

I've never dated anyone.

Do you expect me to believe you?

In Korea, you can't love anyone if you don't have any money.

Why do you live like that?

Life is all about love.

You should stay with me tonight. I'll pay you extra.

Gosh, relax.

I'm asking you to stay as my interpreter.

Call this number.

Tell them they don't need to come to Busan and that the deal's off.

(Kim Ji Gyu)

(Gold Group)

Okay.

(CEO, Tae In Joon)

Sir.

Union Leather just called and said they can't sign a deal with us.

His interpreter called to tell me and hung up right away.

What?

But it was a done deal.

Hey, it's me.

Is your director in Busan?

When?

Okay.

Was that Daesung?

Get me a flight to Busan.

Drop me off at the airport and drive all the way to Busan.

("Is Cha Soo Hyun Getting Ready to Marry Tae in Joon?")

Daddy.

You can sleep more, Jenny.

Daddy, where are we going?

- Busan. - Where's Busan?

It's a city in Korea that's by the sea.

Why are we going there?

For my work.

Centan Department Store?

You know very well.

Oh, dear.

Cheers.

Isn't this place nice?

This is the best they have.

You can enjoy tonight,

and we'll take care of business tomorrow.

What are you doing here?

You trash.

You should learn something from this trash, Team Manager Tae.

We already finished talking with Mr. Montella here.

This is how you do business.

Your information is out-of-date. I'm long past a team manager.

Is there an interpreter here?

- It's me. - For goodness' sake.

Why are you stepping up?

Go ahead.

We really need Union Leather's rawhide.

We already made a sample with it, so we can't back out now.

That's your problem.

A verbal contract is still a contract. You can't abuse it.

Tell him he won't be able to sell rawhide in Korea.

That won't work.

The whole world is in demand for Union Leather's rawhide.

I'm sure you know that.

You're smart.

Just tell him.

The end is not pretty for people who don't have loyalty.

I swear my life on it.

What do you think?

Why are you asking for my opinion?

Because I think you're the smartest one in here.

In Korea, there's a proverb...

that says that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Who's the sow?

You can decide it for yourself.

Hey, what are you doing?

What did I do?

You can ask the interpreter sitting next to you.

How dare you talk back?

Do you want to die?

Did you just smirk? Did you?

- Are you mad? - Hey...

What are you doing?

You got wet. Doesn't it feel uncomfortable?

You ruined the mood,

so you should take that off and lighten things up.

It doesn't feel uncomfortable when you're soaked.

I don't have to take this off now, right?

(Episode 2 will air shortly.)

(Episode 2)

Can you help me win that Italian man's heart?

What?

He says he's going to decide whom he'll do business with...

by tomorrow morning.

It sounds like you want me to sleep with him.

Think of it however you want.

Hey.

This is the down payment.

If you help me close the deal,

I'll give you three more of this.

What kind of calculation is this?

Is it because you want more money?

No, it's because you're offering me money.

Then what do you want?

You must think you can ask for...

whatever you want since I look desperate.

But this is more than enough money,

especially for someone who works here...

The way you came all the way here looking so desperate...

reminded me of how hard my life is, so I thought I'd go easy on you.

But I guess not.

And keep in mind...

that you'll never get to sign a contract with him...

while I work as his interpreter.

What are you doing?

You need to repay me for slapping me.

What a lunatic.

- What do you think you're doing? - Get in the car.

Stop the car.

Stop the car.

Do you make shoes?

You only get this callus by sewing stuff.

And this part of your hand always gets colored.

What's your identity?

It's none of your business.

And why do you keep talking to me as if I'm your friend?

It's not like you're treating me with any respect either.

I figured I should resolve the misunderstanding between us.

I don't mind losing the deal even though...

I've been working on it for over six months.

But I need to know why I got slapped in order to sleep at night.

What a grand excuse you're giving to a prostitute.

We all sell things for a living.

Don't be so pessimistic.

Where do you live?

I'll drive you home, and then let's call it even.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for what I did.

You really do everything your way.

Hey, turn up the heater.

By the way, will you get fired if you fail to seal the deal?

You said you're a team manager.

Do you like BTS by any chance?

What do you mean?

The Italian man's youngest daughter...

is a huge fan of BTS.

Try telling him that you'll get her their signature or something.

You never know until he makes a final decision.

Hurry.

Bring them out.

Hey.

Your shop was sold today.

I got the premium and the deposit.

- What? - Can't you see?

I'm just exercising my rights here.

Think of this as a good thing.

The amount of interest on your debt goes up every day.

You'll never be able to pay it if you keep this shop.

Bring them out here now.

I told you. I can never sell my dad's shop.

(Koo's Workshop)

Hey. If you wanted to keep it, you shouldn't have borrowed money.

If it's that precious to you, you should've managed it well.

You couldn't even run it properly. Don't get in my way.

You jerk.

You're the ones who made my dad borrow money.

You're the ones who tormented us and drove us crazy.

You messed with the interest...

so we wouldn't be able to pay you back!

Do you think I'm a pushover because I've been nice to you?

No...

Aren't you going to help her?

With what?

And how much should I help her?

Why did you want to come back here then?

She does make shoes,

and she does have a difficult life.

She had a nice watch,

but her time...

seemed to be broken.

You don't have time to be sentimental right now.

You should help her now and ask her to salvage the contract tomorrow.

Get BTS' autographs.

Seriously?

We should do everything we can.

Go.

Dad, how do you like it here?

We should frame it and hang it here.

Why bother? It's not like it's a diploma.

This is one of the world's top three design schools.

The village chief hung up a banner about...

his son going to Seoul National University.

Even a Seoul National University graduate can't get this.

It's in Italian, not English. No one could even read it.

My gosh.

That's what makes it much cooler.

Put it in the drawer.

Hey, here. Try these on.

Here.

- These were for me? - Try them on.

I have enough pairs of shoes. You didn't need to.

This is expensive rawhide.

They say good shoes take people to good places.

Let them take you to good places in Italy.

Dad, I'm sorry.

I think I'm at the wrong place. I'm sorry.

Are you...

from Hong Kong?

Yes, I did come from Hong Kong,

but I am Korean.

How did you know that?

My dad made the shoes that you're wearing.

Only one pair was sold...

to the manager of Centan Department Store...

You got a lot of information about me from just a pair of shoes.

Can you replace the heels?

I'm too late, aren't I? Both time...

and circumstances.

My dad isn't here,

and our shop looks like this, but I can replace them for you.

It's the last pair of shoes that I'll repair here.

Could you give me a moment?

Sure.

Nothing is going the way I want.

I tried to order the heels for your shoes, but...

I'm sorry. I really wanted to repair them for you.

Do you have time?

Why did you take me to this place?

You looked like you needed a drink.

People who live up there must have...

a different life, right?

They'd always look down at everything.

Would you like to see what kind of life they have?

They're having a party at a high place like that.

Some companies are doing a collaboration work.

Why would I want to go there?

It'll only make me see where I belong more clearly.

You don't know that.

You can bring the shoes to my hotel tomorrow.

Oh, right. Are you okay with wearing those to your hotel?

You're still working?

Hey! Are you okay?

I heard about what Chang Soo did.

What's going to happen to your workshop?

It's all for the better.

Only my debt will increase if I keep it.

It's good riddance.

You silly girl. I know how you feel.

You cry every day.

Eui Gun says you've been crying a river.

Forget it. Do whatever you want now.

You did the best you could.

- I'm hungry. - All right. I'll be done soon.

So many people are renting and picking up clothes tomorrow.

Gosh, this is exhausting.

For the collaboration party?

How do you know about that?

Someone offered to take me there.

Hey, you should say yes to that.

Are you crazy?

It's hard for me to survive each day. I can't go to a party.

We wake up and do the same thing every day.

What's wrong with having...

just one special day?

I'd rather sleep instead.

I'll wait outside.

Hey, just go to the party and get yourself a man.

Use your pretty face and make my life a little better!

Do you think BTS' autographs worked?

I'm not sure.

I stayed up all night getting them by plane.

If we lose Montella, you'll have many late nights.

Good luck, sir.

I'll go to the airport and pick up Ms. Cha Soo Hyun.

- Don't say anything to her. - Of course not.

Have a seat.

Mr. Montella left the country.

Then what's this meeting for?

You can sign it and give it to me.

I'll be sending it to Italy.

Did he choose me?

I guess your BTS tip-off worked.

He was very touched when he heard you talk about work ethics.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For offering you money.

I was really desperate, so I must've been crazy.

- Should I prepare the meal? - Yes, please.

Here's the down payment you didn't take yesterday including the bonus.

What's this? You apologized for offering me money.

I was out of line yesterday.

But right now, I'm paying you what you deserve.

I should make that clear so that I can stop feeling sorry.

Call me if you need help. I'll do whatever I can to repay you...

for both yesterday and today.

The hotel wants you to make changes on these. Please take a look.

Okay. I'll be off now.

You know me, right?

Ms. Cha Soo Hyun?

The guy who gave you this is my fiance.

It's quite a large sum.

You can take that but not this.

Why did you roll your eyes?

You can take the money,

but you can't take the business card.

Is that so hard to understand?

You're very rude.

I heard you're an interpreter who only works at night.

- Hey. - Listen to me.

Let's keep this short.

I was born here, and I grew up here.

It'll only take me an hour...

to find out where you were born and how you're living right now.

So stop being clingy, and take your money.

I heard you're a great interpreter but only at night.

I'm sure your job doesn't pay that much.

The paparazzi are good at their job.

I heard you're normally very rude and outspoken.

But I never knew I'd get to hear that myself...

in my own neighborhood.

I really like how you talk back to everything I say.

But you see, I hate people who are clingy.

As you already know, it's really easy to seduce rich men...

because some idiots mistakenly think...

their pity towards poor women is affection.

And I know girls like you very well.

You guys use that against them.

Thieving wench.

I heard the contract went very well.

Thank you so much for that.

I hope we never meet again.

Hey.

I found out last night that your fiance,

whom you're so desperate to keep to yourself,

is the type of guy that you mentioned just now.

It didn't seem like it'd be so difficult to seduce him.

You can take the business card,

but that won't stop a thief from trying to get him.

I'm normally not interested in guys who are taken,

but I do have an affection for stolen property.

Try your best to keep him under control.

We'll be putting price tags on them during the weekend,

so you can borrow one for a day or two.

I want this one.

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

This is for Mr. Jin Tae Oh.

He'll know once you tell him that his shoe's been fixed and delivered.

He isn't picking up.

Can you try calling him one more time?

Okay.

Then can you please keep this here and give it to him?

Sure.

Okay, you can go back to work.

I almost didn't recognize you.

Me neither.

Why do you look so down?

Don't I look like someone who got invited but then stood up?

Then how does this sound?

What are you doing right now?

I told you to never contact me again.

I told you that our relationship ended in Hong Kong.

Do you even know how many years it's been?

Why does that even matter?

You're dead to me, so why is that even important?

My gosh.

Why today of all days?

She's going to die.

People say good shoes take people to good places.

Well, they're wrong.

Because people who wear good shoes would never be in a bad place.

So...

if anyone wearing good shoes ever approaches me,

I should...

steal their heart.
