(Episode 17)

Please come in.

Everyone...

is waiting.

Welcome.

This is Hong Se Yun, whom I mentioned.

There's no need to introduce Gyung Hye.

This is her husband.

We've met, haven't we?

We have.

We met when Gyung Hye and I went shopping in DDM.

I saw her again when we were volunteering.

Please take good care of my wife.

Ms. Geum is our head housekeeper.

She's your superior,

so if you need anything or have any questions,

just ask her.

Ms. Geum.

Show Se Yun to her room.

Come this way.

Mom, what's going on?

I told you...

not to call me "Mom" here.

You're the head housekeeper?

You're the head housekeeper, not the maid?

Then why...

I signed a confidentiality agreement.

Everything I see, hear, feel, and do here...

I agreed to keep it all confidential.

Still, I'm your daughter.

I'm hurt that you didn't tell me.

Se Yun.

Titles are irrelevant here.

We only do different things for the family.

Remember.

When we're here,

you and I...

aren't mother and child.

We must strictly be housekeeper and shopping assistant.

That's the only way...

neither of us will be hurt.

(Jadam Chicken)

Se Yun should've just returned to the luxury shop.

Why did she become that woman's personal shopper?

Eun Gyung Hye is a psycho, who's out of control.

She's a loose cannon.

Gang Hee.

Don't say such nasty things with that pretty mouth.

You have no idea.

That woman is a freak.

She was an abusive customer when Se Yun worked at the shop.

She bullied Se Yun so much just because she was rich.

Are you serious?

Why did Se Yun go to work for her then?

Probably because she's paying good.

It isn't "paying good." It's "paying well."

- Anyway. - Fine.

So that's the job Se Yun got...

after her opportunity to study abroad fell through.

It's upsetting that she can't go abroad,

but at least that counterfeit matter...

was resolved.

Also, I looked online, and a personal shopper...

helps someone with shopping.

It's a specialized field,

and it opens doors later on.

So don't worry too much,

Mr. Hong.

I hope so.

Ms. Hong is late. I wonder if things aren't going well.

Where did she go?

You didn't hear?

The landlord wants to raise the deposit by 50,000 dollars,

so she went to meet him.

50,000 dollars? That's a lot of money.

She must not have told you in case you'd worry.

Does he think 50,000 dollars is chump change?

This location was so bad when she moved in.

We put up flyers and handed them out morning and night...

to finally get some regulars.

This is ridiculous.

Gosh. This is bad.

While arranging your clothing storage room,

I saw a white look that's on-season, so I brought it.

May I hang it in your dressing room?

You adamantly refused when I asked.

Did Grandpa's money make you change your mind?

It wasn't because of the money.

I made the decision for myself.

I'll try and do my absolute best.

Don't bother trying.

You'll be leaving soon anyway.

A personal shopper? Someone like you?

Know your place.

I've decided to forget everything that happened...

between us.

I hope you wouldn't find me uncomfortable...

and ask me to do what you need.

I'll do my best to be of help to you.

How dare you tell me what to do?

What's the matter?

Prepare yourself.

I'll make you regret coming here.

Throw it away.

Miss.

Please be magnanimous...

to the new person.

She seems to be trying hard.

I hate her.

She disgusts me more than a snake. I hate her more than insects.

Get rid of her. I don't want to see her.

Miss.

How could she say such hurtful things...

without even batting an eye?

Don't let it get to you.

Don't take it to heart.

Her words may be harsh,

but she isn't a bad person.

This is a personal shopper manual.

It should help while you assist Ms. Gyung Hye.

So this is why you wanted to meet me.

I asked you to meet here since you hadn't eaten yet either.

Is that okay?

- Yes. - Actually,

I was really craving their tteokbokki.

I wanted to repay you for buying me seolleongtang before.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

You should put this on.

It isn't easy to wash out if you get any on you.

Do you know...

why there are so many spicy tteokbokki shops in DDM?

When you deal with customers while selling clothes,

many incidents occur...

that are difficult to bear.

You have to keep working, so you can't drink alcohol,

but you want to let it out.

That's why they eat something super spicy...

as if they're drinking soju to relieve stress.

Mr. Lee. You'd better prepare yourself.

My stress level is very high today,

so I ordered it extra spicy.

It's hot, right?

It's okay.

Your face is as red as the tteokbokki.

It'll help if you cool the inside of your mouth like this.

Are you telling me to hand over...

the ultra-luxury goods project to Mr. Kim?

Stop everything you're doing.

Mr. Kim will finish it up.

There are many things you must do for Gyung Hye to go forward.

At the recent executives meeting,

I made them accept the fact that Gyung Hye is me.

This is the opportune time...

to bring Gyung Hye to the company...

and start the process of making her my successor.

Sir.

It's too soon for her to take over.

I'm sure she'll feel too pressured.

Please give her more time...

That's why I told you to help her.

It's too soon to relax,

but she improved significantly.

You saw that too, didn't you?

While she has confidence that she can do it...

and is encouraged,

you must give her support.

He wants to bring Gyung Hye into the company?

Not a chance.

The chairman...

plans to pass on the company to you.

He does?

Tell him you can't do it.

I'll have to work hard...

since Grandpa is giving me a position higher than CEO.

That way, I can chop off your head.

If a bird gets sick of flying, it dies.

Stick to what you've been doing.

Shop, take your meds, and throw tantrums.

Let go...

before I bite down on my tongue and scream with a bloody mouth.

Let go!

Let go!

Let go of me!

Miss. Miss!

Miss!

What do you think you're doing?

The chairman...

wants to see both of you.

Gyung Hye, it's time for you to start working.

Being born with the Eun blood flowing through your veins,

it is your destiny and responsibility...

to live as a member of Winners.

Sir, it's still too soon.

If she goes out too soon without proper preparation,

- she may end up being hurt. - I can do it.

Give me a chance.

I'll prove that I can do something for you...

and Winners.

Good.

Since you're getting a late start,

you'll have to try extra hard.

Yes, Grandpa.

Mr. Jang. You must be...

Gyung Hye's trustworthy stepping stone.

Start by turning the core members of the company...

to Gyung Hye's side.

Yes, sir.

Gyung Hye.

Would you have some tea with me in the garden?

Sure. I'd love to.

It's chilly outside. Put on a jacket.

I will.

Everything must feel awkward since it's your first day.

I was just slightly nervous.

Have a seat.

It won't be easy to be Gyung Hye's aide.

She doesn't open her heart very easily.

But you know,

some doors must be pushed to open,

whereas some doors must be pulled to open.

Please look for a way to open her heart.

I have faith in you.

I'll try my best...

since I'm helping myself...

by helping Gyung Hye.

The trainee interview is in a few days.

Prepare hard for it.

I will.

Grandpa.

I'll go in now.

Grandpa, I don't need Se Yun anymore.

I only needed her in to fix the problems that I had caused.

Gyung Hye.

I plan to put you into the world now.

You must become hard and strong.

Se Yun...

will be of great help to you.

I've confirmed how firm...

a stepping stone she was.

I can do it without her. You saw me doing it.

I quit my meds...

and succeeded in changing my image as you asked.

At the executives meeting,

I introduced Se Yun...

as your personal shopper.

That's the only reason we were able to avoid disaster.

You need to have her...

by your side for a while.

Don't disappoint me.

There is a banquet for heads of fashion companies...

tomorrow.

It's where everyone brings their successor.

I want you to go there with me.

(Apparel Log)

(Winners Trainee Designer Interview Card)

Let's go, Se Yun. You can do this.

Since people in the fashion industry will be gathered,

you must take special care in what you wear today.

You can't be overly simple,

but you can't be too fancy either.

Grandpa, what if I wear...

something our company makes?

That is a great idea.

Go to the shop,

pick something you like...

from this season's collection,

and wear it to the banquet.

Yes, Grandpa.

Take Ms. Hong with you. She may be helpful.

She hasn't shopped in a while,

so she may be impulsive.

Whatever happens,

do not leave Gyung Hye's side.

Make sure she doesn't shop excessively.

Yes, sir.

This is a meaningful start for both of you.

Gyung Hye is debuting in society as my successor,

and you must complete your first mission...

as her personal shopper.

I hope both she and you will do well.

For years, I crawled on all fours...

and worked for this company, but he passes me up...

and wants to make Gyung Hye his successor?

Gyung Hye.

You need to learn your lesson.

I hear it is a banquet.

A black-and-white look would...

I really want to do a good job.

- If you'd give me a chance... - Shut it.

Madam.

Check out.

(Myung Hwan)

What?

Madam.

- I'll drive. - Get lost.

Where are you going?

- I told you to get lost! - I can't do that.

The chairman said I must stay with you at all costs.

I can't stand it. I don't want you in my face.

I'll talk to the chairman right now.

I'll say you can't stand me and keep refusing my company,

and I'll ask if I may do as you wish.

(Electrical Room)

What...

Madam!

No! Madam!

Madam!

Is anyone out there?

You're still careless on rainy days...

just as you were five years ago.

Excuse me.

No, this can't be.

Gyung Hye.

You're not hurt, are you?

I...

killed...

I killed a person.

My life is over now.

No, no.

You'll be fine. I'll protect you.

Wait a second.

It will be all right. It's okay.

It's okay, Gyung Hye.

Here's what you're looking for.

Break it all you want. I have plenty of copies.

Gyung Hye.

Don't try to take Winners Group.

If I can't have it,

I'll crush Winners just like that USB drive.

Drink this.

Your mental illness relapsed,

so you got drunk and became unable to attend the banquet.

Excuse me! Is anyone out there?

Gyung Hye is drinking?

She sounded drunk on the phone.

I think this banquet was too much pressure for her.

You still can't reach Ms. Hong?

- No, sir. - What are you doing?

Didn't you train Ms. Hong on the basics of accompanying a person?

How could she lose Gyung Hye?

I won't go lightly on either of you!

You'd better be prepared.

Gyung Hye.

Gyung Hye, why did you drink so much?

Ms. Hong!

What were you doing while Gyung Hye got like this?

Well...

(Mysterious Personal Shopper)

You don't seem like my mom.

You look like the head housekeeper who calls me "Ms. Hong."

If you don't want to make Chairman Eun bury his granddaughter,

stay down.

Jang Myung Hwan. I will never forgive you.

Look into Geum Young Sook.

I'm sure she's hiding something.

Trainee designer?

Hello. I'm Hong Se Yun. I want to make clothes...

that make people happy by wearing them.
