- You know what this is? - Let go.

- Let go. - You wanted proof? Here it is!

Hurry up and take a picture.

My gosh, this is ridiculous. Let go of my phone.

- You think this scares me? - My!

Let go, you jerk.

I can't believe you pulled this. Seriously.

I'm an expert. I can tell everything just by holding your wrist.

- Let go of it! - What's this commotion so late?

Officer, these people are trying to forcibly take our property.

Your wife posted my picture online and started a rumor about an affair!

- Listen, that's... - Wait. Let go, then we'll talk.

The definitive proof is on this phone.

We're pressing defamation charges. Got it?

My gosh! Please. Go right ahead. We'll countersue for false charges.

- Do it. Go for it! - Goodness.

- Can you shut your trap? - False accusations?

- You let go first! - Unbelievable.

- You take your hands off. - Hey!

Seriously, why you...

All right, I'm taking all of you in. Let's go to the police substation.

- The substation? Why us? - But they're the ones at fault.

Why are you taking us in, too?

Possible assault, attempted robbery. If you refuse to cooperate,

I'll have no choice but to place you under arrest.

I'm telling you, the proof is on that phone!

- Are you sure? - That's why they fought so hard.

Ma'am, let me see the phone.

- Excuse me? - I just need to check it.

If you continue to refuse, you'll only make things worse.

- What? - What's wrong?

The photo...

- It's not here. - What?

That's impossible.

- Keep scrolling. - Yes.

It's really not here.

All I see are pictures of food, flowers, and landscapes.

See? He said it's not there.

He says it's not there.

Are you sure you aren't mistaken?

I am absolutely speechless.

But you were in Seoul today!

Weren't you?

I'm way too busy to have gone to Seoul.

What? Do you want me to prove my alibi?

Honey, she said she didn't go.

- I'm telling you. I saw her. - You're wrong. You have bad eyes.

Actually, that happens to me from time to time as well.

I know you want to blame someone, but honestly.

You can't just gang up on people like this.

Part of me wants to demand an apology,

but let's just leave it at that.

Officer, are we free to go now?

Yes, you may go.

Have a good night.

Unbelievable.

Let's go.

His family and my family...

are sworn enemies.

It's a blood feud passed down through generations.

I see.

Anyway, what's your real Korean name?

My name.

My name is...

Yang...

Yang, I know that much. What comes after?

Hold on a second.

Honestly.

Woo Jae? What is it?

What?

What about Mom?

Okay, I'm on my way now.

Sir. Something urgent has come up, and I have to go.

- I'm really sorry. - What?

Darn it.

- You're back. - Yes.

Se Ri.

Se Ri, you're the one who posted that photo, right?

My goodness, Dong Suk. What an awful thing to say.

Come on. I know it was you. Why hide it from me?

Don't you dare repeat that. Don't breathe a word of this, okay?

My goodness.

What are you talking about, Auntie? What picture did my stepmom post?

- I don't know. - Auntie!

Didn't you hear him? I'm not supposed to breathe a word.

Good grief.

What's so interesting on that darn phone of yours?

Go to your room. Can't you read the room?

- Auntie. - I told you, I don't know.

Seriously...

That was a close call.

I know. If I hadn't deleted it, we would've been in real trouble.

I never imagined she would have seen me.

Those people can never find out you were behind this.

Don't worry. She'll just think she was seeing things.

By the way...

Was the studio apartment you were getting for Hyun Bin near there?

Yes, it looks like her clinic is in that area, too.

When on earth are you going to tell her who you are?

I don't know. I'm not sure I even need to.

I'm leaving in one year anyway.

Didn't you plan on seeing her at all when you came back to Korea?

I thought of seeing her from afar. Like during my military service.

But you met her like this,

and you even asked to move her to your office.

I told you. I didn't have some ulterior motive.

So, what's it like seeing her again?

Do you still like her?

It's just...

It's nice to see her, I guess.

I had a childhood crush on her because she seemed so cool,

but I doubt that'll happen now.

We're just coworkers.

You never know.

You might fall for her again.

People are going wild, aren't they?

Of course, they are.

My husband had an affair and ran off.

They all say I'm so unlucky because...

my daughter-in-law is cheating, too.

My gosh. People will say anything, won't they?

I wouldn't feel so wronged if it were true.

I know.

Your husband is always in trouble and doesn't even make good money.

You're so young and pretty. I wouldn't blame you for cheating.

Mother! Someone will hear you.

Ju Ah.

Mom, are you really cheating?

- Ju Ah. - Are you cheating? Answer me!

Hey.

Have you been drinking again? Will you be like this every day?

Don't deflect, and tell me straight. Are you having an affair?

Hey, seriously... Will you keep your voice down?

Hey, Ju Ah, go on inside. It's late. Hurry up.

Where do you think you're going? I asked if you're having an affair!

Oh, dear.

No! I told you. I'm not!

Then what's with that photo?

Do you know what people are saying in the comments?

They say you're "Adultery Evangelist,"

not "Love Evangelist."

- Why, you... - My goodness. Hey!

Hey.

Why are you misunderstanding your mom like this?

What misunderstanding, Grandma? Where there's smoke, there's fire.

You've always been like this.

You said you only married Dad because of me, right?

You ignored Dad, mistreated him, and yelled at him over small things.

Now, you're rich and famous, so you decide to cheat?

- Is this why you moved out? - Hey.

No, wait. Mom...

Are you even really living alone?

Ju Ah!

The whole world can misunderstand me and curse my name,

but shouldn't you be the one person who trusts me?

You never believed in me. Why should I?

Hey, get inside. Now. Go on, get in there.

Have you been drinking?

Have you?

Really.

Who on earth talks to their mother like that?

What mother says such awful things to her own child?

She always said she only married Dad because of me.

Your mom was younger than you are when she said that.

Why take to heart what she said when she was young and naive?

Because it cut me to the core.

Honestly, I just can't...

Are you okay, Grandma?

While your mother was raising you,

I was afraid she'd regret quitting her studies,

so I insisted on raising you myself. I barely let her touch you.

And I wonder if that's why you never bonded with your mother.

It breaks my heart every time you act like this.

I'm sorry, Grandma.

I know, I was wrong.

Don't hurt your mom's feelings. You'll regret it later.

I won't.

- Get some rest. - Okay.

Gosh, seriously...

(Taehan)

Mom. I was too harsh yesterday.

Sorry.

(Mom, I was too harsh yesterday. Sorry.)

No...

(Mom, I was too harsh yesterday. Sorry.)

What was so harsh about it? It's not like I was wrong.

Sorry, I'm late. I had an executive meeting.

Why? Because of the product review and budget?

Did they shoot everything down?

Oh, well...

The design team meeting is about to start,

so let's talk about it then.

That's okay.

I hope everyone got home okay last night.

Yes. It's a shame we couldn't stay out longer.

How about we party all night at the workshop next week?

- Yes, I love that! - Sounds great!

And the proposal from yesterday...

It was approved at the executive meeting today.

- Nice. - That's awesome!

The product review proposal...

- and the budget increase? Both? - Yes. But...

there's one condition.

What's the condition?

At the upcoming Korea Fashion Design Competition,

we need to have a winning design.

What? But isn't its deadline just around the corner?

Gosh, we also have to prepare for the Hot Summer collection.

So won't we be a little pressed for time?

Use designs from your portfolios, past competitions, or reviews.

I want you to use designs that were previously rejected.

Submit a design you're confident in by tomorrow. The final selection...

will be made by an internal vote from employees in other departments.

- Okay. - Got it.

Right.

The winning design will be publicly credited to the designer.

- It'll be credited? - Yes.

The designer's name will be on the label.

- Really? - For real?

My gosh. What should I submit?

What about your Metro Classic one?

Where did I put it? Please tell me I didn't delete it.

Is this one better?

Wow, everyone's in full-on competition mode.

I bet no one's going home or getting any sleep tonight.

Is it really that big of a deal to have your name on your design?

Sir, you really have no idea what you've started, do you?

Not really. I thought it was only natural.

I always wondered why clothes only have the brand name on them.

That's exactly it.

You've acknowledged the designer's worth.

Is that how it comes across?

Why else are designers so desperate to have their own labels?

It's just a shame you don't realize...

how truly exciting this is.

I'll look forward to seeing your design, Ms. Gong.

Yes. I'm looking forward to it, too.

I'll design one with my name on it and have my grandma wear it.

I'll finally take my mom, who looks down on me, down a peg.

Yes!

Gosh, which one is better?

So, what's the update?

For now, I've blocked the reporters' fact-checking calls.

So we're not going to issue a counter-statement?

No, I mean, no articles have been published yet.

And it's not even true.

If we put out a statement now, it'll just exaggerate the situation.

Hey. What about the contract that's on hold?

Oh, one of our writers had an idea for you and Jeong Han.

We could film some content of you two getting along...

and use that to open the show.

We are getting along fine. We just see each other on weekends.

Yes, I know. I get it, but...

we have to think about the viewers. That's why we should do it.

They believe whatever they see. Just look at what's happening now.

I hadn't considered that.

- Hello. Vote for number two! - Hello.

- Hello. We're with Gong Jeong Han. - Hello.

- We're counting on your vote! - For Candidate Number Two!

- Hey, Dae Han. - Yes, sir?

Gong's wife, the TV doctor. I heard she had an affair?

What? Who told you that? Who? That's not true!

I'm very disappointed.

I'm not voting for Dr. Gong.

No, I'm telling you it's not true! Sir, please.

Seriously, that's not what happened, everyone.

But I heard people say Dr. Gong is going to drop out of the race.

That's not true!

- Who's behind these crazy rumors? - What?

Uncle, look.

There she is. The source of these vicious rumors.

I'm telling you. It's true.

Everyone in Onjeong Market knows Dr. Gong's wife is cheating...

You evil-tongued gossip! I will be sure...

- to teach you a lesson today. - Hey!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

- I will shut you up for good today! - Let go!

Hey! You're disgusting!

What are you talking about? I didn't spread any rumors.

It was you! You're the one spreading lies!

What lies? I'm just saying what's in the photo.

- It's real? - It's real.

Who would take such a photo and post it online?

Yes, I wonder who could have done such a thing.

- My stepmom did it. - What?

So go ahead and sue her! I'll be the witness.

Hey. Stop talking nonsense.

It'll be chaos if the adults believe you.

I'm telling you, it's true! For the doctor falsely accused,

I'm making a noble sacrifice.

My gosh. Am I not like a tragic princess?

You know... Who was it? The one who betrayed her father...

- and chose love instead. - Princess Nakrang?

My, so she was a princess?

No wonder I felt such a kinship with her.

Hey, Woo Jae! Call Dr. Han already!

Why don't you believe the words of a princess?

It seems Woo Jae really doesn't believe me.

In that case...

I'll just have to take matters into my own hands.

Sorry, who did you say this was again?

Woo Jae's girlfriend?

Woo Jae doesn't have a girlfriend.

Who is this?

Oh, Yang Dong Ik's daughter?

What's this about?

This is a very urgent matter, so I decided to call you directly.

After all, whatever concerns you is my business, too.

Dr. Han, about my stepmom, she really did go to Seoul.

What did you just say?

I'm saying, she went to Seoul to find an apartment for my brother.

You little brat! What do you think you're doing?

What? I'm just doing the right thing!

This is driving me crazy.

And she had the nerve to play dumb?

Wait a minute. The coffee shop.

Why didn't I think of that?

- Honey. - You're back? And your patients?

Hey, what's going on, everyone?

Here, let's all watch this. I got it from the coffee shop.

What is this?

What's this?

- What? - My goodness. Who is that?

Unbelievable.

- What the... - No way.

What?

- Unbelievable! - Oh, my word.

- That's... - Good grief!

Who is that?

Mom, what do you mean, who? It's Bucket's wife.

So after all this, that woman just played dumb?

See? I told you there was no way I was mistaken.

My goodness. How could she? She's got some nerve, hasn't she?

- That jerk! I ought to... - Hey!

- Jeong Han. - Dad!

- Jeong Han. - Mom! We can't let this go, can we?

I am absolutely not letting this slide!

Of course. We can sue her for this, Mom.

- This is a lawsuit. - Yes!

What should I do, Mother?

I'll do whatever you say, Mother.

Welcome.

I figured you wouldn't want coffee this late,

so I ordered tea instead.

I assume you know why I asked you to meet.

Yes.

When I found out that Eun Bin had spoken to you,

I called the coffee shop to try and smooth things over,

but they said you'd already checked the CCTV footage.

- I was taking the CCTV to the cops. - Dr. Han, please.

I may be sitting here right now,

but in your mind, please picture me on my knees.

Excuse me?

If I were to actually kneel here, everyone would stare,

and that would put you in an awkward position, Dr. Han.

What game are you playing?

I am truly, sincerely sorry, Dr. Han.

Sorry for what?

For taking that photo and posting it,

for deleting it to destroy the evidence,

for tarnishing your reputation,

and for nearly destroying your career.

At least you know what you did.

I just really...

wanted my husband to become Merchants' Association President.

He could use it as a stepping stone to run for city council.

As you know,

I'm my husband's second wife.

All the love his first wife couldn't give him,

I want to be the one to give it all to him.

I suppose if you can justify your wrongful actions with a motive,

you think it'll feel less shameful. Is that it?

Pardon?

People who disregard moral standards to satisfy their own desires...

rarely feel guilty, and their apologies aren't sincere.

My goodness.

Are you saying my apology wasn't sincere?

No, that's not it. I'm completely sincere, Dr. Han.

You're skilled at manipulating people's feelings,

and you're more angry you got caught than sorry for what you did.

That's not true.

I'm really not that complicated.

First of all, I've taken down all the photos and the post.

And if you want to sue me for damages,

I'm prepared to offer you a generous settlement.

Well...

Is there anything else...

you might want?

Like...

withdrawing from the race?

Is that what you're hoping for?

Don't withdraw from the race.

Winning by default just isn't my style.

Oh, my.

Thank you so much, Dr. Han.

So, I guess that means...

we've settled things today, right?

Thank you.

You forgave her, Seong Mi?

I know, right? You should've torn her hair out.

Seriously, are you just going to let it slide?

Then what? Sue her and start a war? We live in the same neighborhood.

You did the right thing.

Yes. You did the right thing.

- You're staying for dinner, right? - Yes.

Let's put this behind us and win fair and square.

Wait, they're not playing fair, so why should we?

I said to forget it, didn't I?

Woo Jae, spare me a minute.

Okay.

I'm heading out. I'm going to go study for a bit.

Honey, I'll come pick you up at the bus stop later. Okay?

- Hey. - Yes.

Jeong Han.

Are you really going to play fair?

No.

I knew it.

You're not going to let this slide, are you?

- Of course not. - Right.

- How dare they... - The nerve.

Are you...

- dating Yang Dong Ik's daughter? - What?

No, Mom.

This isn't the "You should study, not date" lecture.

You're old enough.

You can date whoever you want.

Just not her.

Did Eun Bin tell you? That her stepmom was behind this?

And how messed up is that?

Stay away from them, son. I mean it.

That woman, Eun Bin's stepmother...

Psychoanalytically speaking,

her emotional responses are abnormal.

To put it simply, she's a crazy witch.

- Mom. - Don't you forget it.

Seong Mi, I need a word with you.

Yes, Mother! Remember what I said.

Yang Eun Bin, you!

Do you have any idea what you've done?

And you just had to go tattle to Dad?

Hey, how could you? I know you hate her, but come on.

Aren't you one of us?

Why wouldn't I be? She's the outsider, not me.

- What was that, you little brat? - What? Am I wrong?

Yang Eun Bin!

Didn't I tell you I'd kick you out if you disrespected your stepmother?

Dad, please, just go inside.

I'll give her a stern talking-to, okay?

Please go inside and get some rest, Father.

We're just talking.

Raise your voice one more time, and I won't let it slide.

Happy now? Are you satisfied that the whole family is yelling at me?

Unbelievable.

Hui Gyeong? Birth control pills?

My gosh, I just don't understand. Why would she do that?

Apparently, she doesn't want to have a baby.

What? Dae Han's wanted a baby for five years.

That's what I'm saying.

I was just so flabbergasted.

You think it's about money?

She said no. I already asked her that.

There's no way that's true.

She was asking me about every detail of my contract,

and she keeps holding it over me that they had to move in...

because they gave me their security deposit.

You think so?

Maybe she's just saying no, thinking it'll make me uncomfortable?

That's possible.

Oh, boy.

Mom, I'll drive you and take the bus back.

Why not come to my studio tomorrow and bring my things back here?

Your things? What for?

I'm moving back here.

- I put my studio on the market. - What? Really?

Seong Mi.

Seong Mi, are you sure about this?

The commute might be tough, but I'll manage.

Hey, shouldn't you have talked to me about this first?

And when have you ever talked to me about anything?

I'll make sure to get every last thing.

Hey, are you sure you'll be okay?

My room will be too cramped. Right?

And you need space to write your book.

Dae Han, once the studio is leased, I'll give you the security deposit,

so you can start looking for a place of your own.

For you and your wife to move into.

- Our own place? - Yes. You're newlyweds, after all.

It's been weighing on me that you moved in because of me.

Once your room is free, I'll use it as my office.

Seong Mi, is this really because of us?

It's for a number of reasons.

I'm tired of people thinking we're separated or something,

and I think I need to get along better with Ju Ah.

I'm so sorry, Seong Mi.

But I bet my wife will be thrilled.

I don't know how to face you.

Thank you,

and you made the right choice.

In a way, I'm kind of grateful to that family.

I think we made the right call deciding to let it go, Dad.

Grateful? I'm still furious with them. You know?

All right, let's go.

Bucket.

Oh, shoot.

- Hey, what are you doing? - What? Too childish for you?

The more childish the revenge, the more it gets under their skin.

- Look at this. Look. - I see it. But why that one?

Come on.

(Gong Jeong Han: A leader with empathy)

Hey, what are you doing?

You're supposed to draw on Bucket's face.

Hey, if we draw on Bucket's face, they'll know it was us.

- Right. - Bingo!

A reverse-psychology negative campaign by self-sacrifice?

You're a genius.

- I have my moments. Hey. - Yes.

My face. You got that, right?

Perfect.

(Number 2 Gong Jeong Han, Number 1 Yang Dong Ik)

(Rude)

(Toupee! He's bald!)

(Onjeong Market)

(Unnecessary treatments, phony, bald hypocrite)

This is so unbelievably childish. Don't you think they went too far?

I know, right? How could anyone take a handsome face like mine...

and ruin it like this?

- Isn't this illegal? - Yes, it is.

Vandalizing a Merchants' Association poster is destruction of property,

punishable by up to three years in jail...

or a fine of up to 7,000 dollars.

There's CCTV right here, too. What do you say?

- Should I start an investigation? - No.

That won't be necessary. Right, Jeong Han?

That's right. You must be busy.

- All right. I'll be on my way. - Take care.

(Number 1 Yang Dong Ik)

(The Devil of Onjeong Market)

Excuse me...

I can't just stand by and say nothing.

- Yes? - He forgave you,

but you aren't even sorry.

How could you let things get worse?

What is she talking about?

To do that to someone's face...

- That's just wrong. - What is this?

This prank has gone too far, sir.

You should give your children a talking-to.

(Gong Myeong Jeong Dae Han Clinic)

What have you done?

It wasn't us. What?

- We didn't do it, Dad. - You pathetic fools.

Tell her I am very sorry.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

- Dad. - No, wait.

Hey, when someone lets you off easy, you should know when to quit.

Have you guys ever heard of playing fair?

Hey.

Did you do this?

No! You know I'm not a morning person.

- You did it, didn't you? - No, I didn't.

Then who could've done it? Who?

You don't really think I'd do this to my own face, do you?

Exactly. What kind of lunatic would do that?

Look at that poor guy's face.

- All this for an election? Crazy. - Seriously.

Let's go.

Did you hear that?

It wasn't me! I swear I didn't do it!

Yes.

Good morning...

What? What the...

- Oh, you're... You're here. - Yes.

Good morning.

I can't believe it's so late already.

What? Did you sleep here?

My commute is so long, it just felt like a waste of time.

Gosh, aren't you working too hard?

I should get a bed put in here.

Your eyes.

They're totally bloodshot.

No. I'm fine.

I got a whole two hours of sleep.

I figured as much, so I brought you something.

The line here is always long, right? Did you go right when they opened?

You know my hobby is hunting down good food.

I gave the design team some, too. Have some.

Thank you so much. You're seriously the sweetest.

Thank you!

- How about this? - This is nice.

Wow, it's visually stunning.

I went with some bold colors, focusing on an oversized silhouette.

That's very on-trend.

Director Yang, you should come take a look.

What do I know? I'm no design expert.

But we need a customer's viewpoint. Please share your opinion, Director.

Let's see.

How do I put this...

(Work order)

If this were a meal,

it'd be like a full-course dinner for breakfast.

I guess I did get a little too ambitious.

It does seem a little over the top.

- Is this your top pick, Mr. Park? - Yes.

The shirring is meant to give it a feminine touch.

- It's for functionality. - Right, but it's a little...

How should I say this...

Like a vitamin supplement?

Excuse me?

A vitamin?

You know it's good for you, but you're never excited to take it.

Should I stop? My opinion doesn't matter anyway.

Please take a look at mine too, Director Yang.

All right.

Casual sweaters.

The yarn adds a special touch, so it allows for great mobility,

and it's stylish, too.

It looks very practical.

But...

it's missing that "wow" factor.

- Excuse me? - Well, it's like...

If I had to make another analogy,

it's like a well-made rolled omelet.

A rolled omelet?

It's familiar and easy enough for anyone to make,

so it feels more like an everyday side dish.

A side dish?

To serve this as the main course...

Don't you think it's lacking that visual hook?

What does everyone else think?

You're giving me a death glare, aren't you?

- No, I'm not. - Yes, you are.

That "It's not even your field. What do you know?" kind of look.

Savage.

You're misunderstanding me.

Sure.

Bring on the next one. This is getting fun.

Ms. Kim So Hye.

All right. I've uploaded everything and shared the voting link.

Was my design really that bad?

Not bad, just... A bit ordinary.

I was so embarrassed I wanted to die.

What about me? A vitamin? Seriously? That's not even food!

An omelet? He and his precious "visual hook."

An omelet? Seriously? Unbelievable.

I'm never eating an omelet again. I can't even look at one now.

Gosh, just wait for the results of the Home Shopping investigation.

Then I'm transferring straight to the design team.

What are you talking about? They're investigating that incident?

The higher-ups are.

Why do you look so flustered?

Are you hiding something?

No! Why would I hide anything from you?

No, that's not it. It's just... I mean...

I just never thought someone would've done it on purpose.

Maybe it wasn't on purpose.

Still, we have to find out, don't we?

And if someone did do it on purpose?

What are you going to do then?

What do you think I'll do?

I'll kill them.

Woo Jae. Hey, what's up?

Yes. I'm coming home tonight.

Really? In that case...

On your way home, can you stop by Mom's studio and grab a book for me?

- In the built-in closet. - She says it's in the closet.

I moved all her stuff out, but I must have forgotten that.

What are you talking about? Why would Mom move her things out?

Well... She decided to move back home.

She was so against living with us, so why give up her place?

See? She had an affair. She got caught and is crawling back.

What the...

So she really was having an affair?

Unbelievable.

The nerve of this shameless jerk.

You jerk!

You think that hurts? This hurts me more, you jerk!

Hey! How dare you...

Ms. Gong Ju Ah?

Director Yang?

- Wait, what are you doing here? - What are you doing here...

My gosh!

Oh, man.

How did you even get in here?

I used the passcode, of course. I...

More importantly, what are you doing here?

I just moved in.

- What? This is my mom's apartment. - What?

Wait, so you're the one who...

So you're the new tenant. Right.

Yes. I guess that's the situation.

Oh, no. Director Yang, I'm really sorry.

Hey, it's fine. Things like this happen.

No, it's not that. Your forehead...

Oh, no.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

I know it was a misunderstanding, but still...

Do you have to just start wailing on someone like that?

You should have changed the passcode then.

And to top it off, you just had to be showering.

I was a mess from moving everything.

But Director Yang, are you okay? Take an anti-inflammatory.

Hey, be honest with me. You recognized me, didn't you?

You did that on purpose, right? Because I saw your design...

and said it looked like a rolled omelet.

Of course not!

I'm telling you, I thought you were my mom's boyfriend.

My gosh.

Your mom's boyfriend?

Oh, it's...

Gosh, it's a personal matter. Please just forget I said anything.

Right.

So if your mom has an affair, you get mad at her for it.

Couldn't it be your father's fault, though?

Well... In any case,

there's no excuse for cheating.

I see.

My mom also had an affair and left.

So why was I...

always so resentful of my father?

Maybe because it's easier to blame the person who stayed behind?

What's this?

"As of today, I'm no longer your daughter."

"Eun Bin."

Did Eun Bin run away from home again?

I called Hyun Bin on a hunch, and he said she's there.

At the studio apartment Hyun Bin just moved into?

Yes.

- Hey, Gong Woo Jae! - You scared me. Have some manners.

You should've explained things properly.

I went to Mom's apartment and ran into the new tenant.

- You did? - "You did?"

And guess what? The new tenant is my director!

- What a weird coincidence. - "A weird coincidence?"

Hey. I hit my director, okay? I thought he was Mom's boyfriend!

- I smacked him right on the head! - You've got to be kidding me.

Since when did Mom get a boyfriend? Seriously, what's wrong with you?

What do you mean? Mom's having an affair right now.

Those photos caused a huge scandal.

That was the herbal clinic lady's smear campaign to win the election.

- What? - The woman from that clinic...

is the one who took and posted Mom's photo.

- Seriously? - She was caught and apologized.

That woman is completely insane.

Unbelievable.

Our stepmom is out of her mind, isn't she?

How could she take a photo like that in secret...

and try to frame Dr. Han for an affair?

So that's what happened.

- Stepmom was clearly in the wrong. - Right?

Seriously.

Wait, what happened to your forehead?

This?

I guess I took the fall for what our stepmom did.

What are you talking about?

Is something wrong with your brain?

Gosh, you're so annoying.

This is for the deposit.

Use this to find a place and put down a deposit.

I figured Mother would tell you I'm on birth control.

You two don't keep secrets, after all.

It's not my place to say, but you know Dae Han wants a child.

And at your age, it might be hard to conceive.

I know.

Thank you for being so thoughtful. We'll start trying once we move.

Okay, let's do that. Thank you.

But one more thing...

Can I get the rest of the money in cash, too?

That's a lot of cash to handle, isn't it?

Why cash?

You see,

I love the feel of holding cash. It's for the landlord anyway,

so I can just feel it in my hands until then.

Honestly. That's a strange fixation to have.

Hey, what's this? Why is this door locked?

What? Why don't you just leave your things there...

until Dae Han's family moves out?

Did you just lock the junk in here because you were too lazy to clean?

No, that's not it. I put something important in there.

Just leave it alone.

It's your father's stuff, isn't it?

After you made such a scene telling your mom to throw it out.

Hey, don't tell Mom. Okay?

The commercial area...

My goodness, this is so long-winded.

Put the last sentence at the start.

Hit them with the main point first. Be straightforward.

Conclusion first, then explain. It's easier for people to follow.

Oh, man. Why are you helping me? I appreciate it.

I'm trying to be a supportive wife.

Just as much as Bucket's wife is.

Look at you holding a grudge. Goodness.

I'll make sure you're elected Merchants' Association President.

Because that would be the best revenge against her.

Gosh, that's scary.

Whatever you do, don't make that face on TV.

Oh, right.

You should do a TV segment with me.

Director Song wants to air a segment of us getting along well.

No, forget it. I'm not cut out for TV.

But they're paying a lot.

Don't tempt me.

How about a premium secondhand ECG machine?

Due to the burden of rent and rising labor costs...

- Premium! I said premium. - The commercial district...

Honey. Premium.

Fine, okay! Deal! You said premium, right?

I've really been wanting a premium ECG machine.

- That's right. - Okay, I'm in.

All right. A premium ECG machine.

- I'm off. - Okay.

Here. I know you like these, Seong Mi.

Amazing. I always skipped breakfast. This is like paradise.

Listen, from now on, you and Ju Ah should take turns driving.

- Did Ju Ah come home last night? - Yes.

- I'm off. - Gong Ju Ah.

- Yes? - Take your mom's car.

- No, I don't want to. - Hey!

Sorry about the misunderstanding.

I thought you were having an affair.

A misunderstanding? It wasn't one. I am having an affair.

I preach adultery, not love. So what?

Come on, I'm apologizing. Don't be petty. Forgive me already.

- I have something important today. - I don't feel like it.

Whether I forgive you or not is my call.

Unbelievable.

- You accepted Ms. Cha's apology. - I did. So what?

Why would you forgive her? After she humiliated you like that.

Suing her would've taught a lesson. Seriously.

If I did that, wouldn't I be stooping to her level?

Your mother is a better person than that woman.

Gosh, what a hypocrite.

Forgiveness isn't hypocrisy. It's a way to free yourself.

It's not for them, but to move on from your own anger.

It's a decision you make for self-preservation.

In psychology,

they call it "forgiveness as maturity."

It means forgiving is a sign of being mature.

Gosh, I'm sick of this.

By the way, I hear Bucket's son is back in Korea.

Really? You mean Yang Hyun Bin?

Yes. That woman was looking for a studio apartment for him.

His office must be somewhere near my clinic.

Then that must be close to my office, too.

What?

It's up.

All right, everyone.

Our submission for the design competition...

Drumroll, please...

It will be revealed in 60 seconds...

Okay.

All right.

Our final submission for the competition...

is Ms. Kim So Hye's design.

Really?

- Wait, me? - Yes.

In second place, by a very narrow margin,

is Ms. Gong Ju Ah.

Oh, man.

Congratulations, So Hye.

Thank you all so much.

Hey, now.

Laugh or cry. Pick one.

Wow, your name will be on the label for next season's line.

My dad is going to be so happy.

I've always wanted him to wear something with my name on it.

Gosh, I'm so jealous.

Should we have So Hye take the lead on the competition project?

Well, I'll handle the colorways,

and it'd be great if you all could divide up the flats for each item.

You're doing the sweater and pants? Should I take the outerwear then?

Yes. Ms. Gong?

If you wouldn't mind, could you run the DTP test...

on the outerwear fabric...

and also source the trims and materials?

Of course.

Are you okay?

No, I'm not.

I'm not going to lie.

Yes.

I understand, Vice President.

Looks like they found the culprit in the Home Shopping incident.

Let's go.

Tell Mr. Park Jun Hyeok to come, too.

You think someone really did this on purpose?

I'm afraid so.

Who?

It can't be.

They're saying it was Kim So Hye.

A staff member said they saw her swap out the clothes that morning.

If we start disciplinary action, I'm not sure how they will respond.

If word of this gets out,

it'll be a huge blow to our brand's image.

You can't ask me to forgive her, can you?

Ma'am, I'll accept the disciplinary action.

What? Why you?

Because I'm also responsible for mismanaging my team member.

- Isn't that why you called me in? - No.

I'm leaving the decision on Kim So Hye's disciplinary action...

to the two of you team leaders.

It's not my place to decide.

I'll go with whatever Ju Ah decides.

Why did you do it?

Have you held a grudge against me all this time?

I'm sorry.

I was just so desperate...

Did you really think you'd get away with this?

Yes.

What?

I've never thought of you as being desperate, Ms. Gong.

That's why I honestly had no idea you were looking into it like this.

I thought if something like that happened,

you'd just quit.

Why?

You didn't major in design, and you have a medical license.

You could quit, and you'd be fine,

but this is all I have.

I am so sick and tired of hearing that.

You don't know how hard I've worked so I wouldn't have to hear that.

You people are unbelievable.

So Hye, for me,

becoming a designer wasn't a choice.

I wanted to be a designer so badly...

that I gave up everything else for it.

- I'm sorry. - And "sorry" makes it okay?

Unbelievable.

Ms. Kim So Hye.

Yes?

What was it you asked me to do earlier?

The DTP test on the outerwear, and what was the other thing?

- What? - Ju Ah.

I can't remember what else you asked for.

Sourcing the trim and materials...

Ms. Gong...

What are you waiting for? Are you going to work or not?

Yes. I'll get right on it. I'll work my hardest.

(Taehan)

(Managing Director Pacundo Ignacio de la Cruz Yang)

(Taehan Group)

So you're leaving me here alone to go back to the design office?

You don't need me anymore, Director.

So what should I do with this place? A meeting room or design space?

Whatever you think is best, sir.

- I'm going to get going... - Why...

did you let Kim So Hye off the hook? You should've just fired her.

Then, as the competition's runner-up,

the collection would've been released under your name.

Because Kim So Hye's design was good.

My design might not have even placed in the competition.

It looked like a rolled omelet.

I made the decision for the sake of the team.

Even so, if it were me,

I don't think I could've forgiven her.

My mom was wronged very badly once.

She forgave the one who defamed her and accused her of an affair.

I couldn't understand how she could forgive them.

But then, my mom told me something.

"Forgiveness is about freeing yourself."

"It's not for the other person, but to escape your own anger."

"It's a way of protecting yourself."

She sounds like an amazing person.

I know. And even though I can't stand her,

I want to be just like her, which is ironic.

- I should get going. - Okay.

(Taehan Group)

- Thank you. - Sure.

Way to fall for her again, Yang Hyun Bin.

I shouldn't be feeling this way.

- Here you go, Mom. - That's enough.

All right, everyone. The election is finally upon us.

You've worked harder than anyone, pounding the pavement on a budget.

Come on, it's not over yet.

Let's make a final push this weekend.

- Let's do it! - Let's do it!

- Let's have a toast. - A toast!

- Great idea. - I'll lead the toast.

To Gong Jeong Han's victory!

- To victory! - To victory!

Wait. You can do better than that!

Come on! To Gong Jeong Han's victory!

- To victory! - To victory!

- Bottoms up! - Bottoms up!

- Take small sips, okay? - Dad, this is so good!

Dispatch, this is Mackerel. Do you copy? Over.

We read you loud and clear. This is Cutlassfish, over.

Roger that.

(Information, How may I help you?)

(We are here to help with anything you need.)

Sector A, campaign routes are overlapping.

Sector B, expecting heavy crowd congestion.

I'm deploying to the final rally to prepare for any contingencies.

Stay sharp out there.

Hyun Bin, can I please just live with you?

I don't want to live with my stepmom.

She's doing the best she can.

Even when she makes bad decisions,

I try to understand that she's doing it for our family.

I don't understand her.

Eun Bin. But you like her, don't you?

You're scared of getting hurt because you like her so much.

So you're pushing her away on purpose, right?

No, you're wrong! What do you know, anyway?

I hate you!

There.

All done with the workshop prep.

I'm starving. What should I get?

Pork cutlet?

That pork cutlet place I went to with Yang Hyun Bin...

I should go there. It's been a while.

But wait.

Yang Hyun Bin... He's back but hasn't even called.

And his office is nearby, I think. I wonder which apartment he's in.

Hold on.

Come to think of it, He and the director are so alike.

Okay, let's see. First of all, they both have the surname, Yang.

They both studied abroad, their families are similar,

they live in an apartment near my office,

and their parents' house is also near here...

Pork cutlet is my absolute favorite.

Right, and they both love pork cutlet.

- What else... - You look strangely familiar.

He said I looked familiar, too.

No way...

Director, what's your Korean name?

Yang Hyun Bin.

(Love Pork Cutlet)

This place hasn't changed a bit.

- One pork cutlet, please. - Okay.

I've decided to study abroad.

I promise I'll come back.

Don't you ever forget me.

Yes. I'll remember.

Liar.

As if you were going to remember anyway.

- Can I get some water, please? - Yes.

(Recipe For Love)

- I studied abroad and never called. - Why?

Because we were never meant to be.

What? Are your families feuding?

- Yes. - What?

- One more time. - One more time.

- We prescribe... - Love!

Hello, everyone.

- Bucket's son had a crush on you. - You knew?

Marriage is never something you get to decide for yourself.

- We'll begin the election vote... - Move.

for the 16th President of the Onjeong Merchants' Association.
