That jerk. I swear I'll hunt him down and make him pay.

And if I don't find him, I won't be Oh Jang Mi.

Gosh, seriously.

Excuse me, can I ask you a question?

By any chance,

do you remember the man who bought this lingerie yesterday?

May I ask why?

Our shopping bags got switched yesterday.

I need to get the gift I bought for my mom back,

but I have no way of contacting him to switch them back.

I see.

Really?

Could I get the phone number for his rewards account?

I'm afraid I can't do that. It's personal information.

Right. Of course it is.

Okay, then.

Gosh, what a mess.

Goodness, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

You're that brat from yesterday?

"A brat?"

Did you just call me a brat?

- Unbelievable. - Look who's talking!

You're the one going around being a pervert!

Gosh, my ears. You don't have to shout. Is anyone here deaf?

Keep your voice down.

Why on earth are you carrying around something so disgusting?

You probably switched the bags on purpose to mess with me.

I'm not even fazed by things like this, you pervert!

Gosh, I can't believe this woman.

A pervert? How dare you?

Besides, why would I do that on purpose for you to see?

Stop letting your imagination run wild.

- You're really jumping to conclusions. - Then you didn't do it on purpose?

Then what was your motive for deliberately swapping bags with me?

- "Motive?" - You!

You were eyeing me when I was buying lingerie for my mom.

Weren't you deliberately targeting the women's lingerie?

What? Deliberately?

That's why you deliberately started that whole "I got the cab first" thing,

just to get me to share the cab with you.

I see it now. Your goal was the lingerie all along.

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

How dare you label me like that? Listen here!

What would I even do with women's lingerie?

What would you do? You probably have some kind of fetish.

Or you wear it yourself.

That's it! I've been patient, but now you're crossing a line.

Do you think it's okay to cross the line and make me sound like a pervert?

Who do you think crossed the line first?

Gosh, just give me back the lingerie I bought.

If you didn't take it on purpose, then give it back!

Excuse me. Please don't cause a scene. Take this outside.

- Sorry. She's being ridiculous. - I apologize.

Follow me outside.

Come on!

I'm coming!

(CEO Chae Hwa Young)

Hey, President Hwang.

I'd like to see talent from your agency for our new Dream Group model.

When are you free?

You are?

All right. Then I'll come by your office.

Okay.

Ma'am.

Kang Jun Ho, the new head chef for Chang Restaurant,

is here to see you.

Send him in.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

My name is Kang Jun Ho.

Have a seat.

That will be all, Assistant Manager Jin.

Yes, ma'am.

You and Assistant Manager Jin were classmates...

- at a culinary school in the US. - Yes.

Your resume says you won first place in an American cooking competition...

and worked at a Michelin-star restaurant. It's quite an impressive background.

So why come back to Korea?

I moved to the US when I was 20,

and after working abroad for so long,

I felt it was time to come back to Korea, where my parents live.

More than anything,

I've always dreamed of combining Western and Korean cuisine...

to pioneer my own unique culinary style.

So then,

at our hotel's newly renovated Chang Restaurant,

- you'll be doing your experiment? - I wouldn't call it an experiment.

Cooking is a creative art.

I received offers from many other places,

but the reason I specifically chose Chang Restaurant...

Is it because of Assistant Manager Jin Hong Ju?

Hong Ju?

What makes you say that?

Hong Ju and I were just classmates. That's all.

Regardless,

Assistant Manager Jin was so instrumental in recruiting you,

so I just assumed that connection is what brought you to us.

It's because Chang Restaurant is the absolute worst.

Excuse me?

The other restaurants that made me offers...

were all doing fine without me.

But Chang Restaurant at Dream Hotel...

was a complete disaster, top to bottom.

A disaster?

Where does he get off being so cocky?

It doesn't matter if you renovate Chang Restaurant or what.

I realized it would be nearly impossible to save this place without me.

That's why I accepted your offer.

Fine.

If that's how you feel, then we'll see.

We'll see if you can actually deliver on all that big talk,

or if you're just full of hot air.

Very well.

You just wait and see.

Here.

Take your pervy stuff back, and give me back what I got for my mom.

What am I going to do?

My mom already wore it.

What is it?

- Did you wear it already? - Hey, come on.

Then why are you standing there speechless when I ask for it back?

Gosh, you're so loud. Will you stop nagging?

Why are you trying to change the subject?

Right.

Just give me back what I bought for my mom.

I don't want to waste another breath on you.

How much did it cost?

I'll just pay you for it.

What? You're not serious.

- So it's true! - Hey!

Of course it is. If you didn't wear it, why can't you give it back?

Look, do I have to explain myself to you? I said I'd pay you for it.

- How much was it? - You think money solves everything?

- You should apologize first. - Why should I apologize?

Did I steal it or something?

You're the one who took my bag and got off first!

Let's get our facts straight. I hailed that cab,

so who was it that just had to shove their way inside?

And who's the one who got out with my shopping bag?

I'm sure you, Mr. Rude Pervert, switched the bags to give me yours.

Whatever. So you're saying you won't apologize?

I'd have to be in the wrong to apologize.

Anyway, I'll pay you for your stuff. How much was it?

You're so eager to flash your money around.

Just give me my mom's gift back.

Bring back her present, exactly as it was.

Bring it back, and then I'll return this to you.

Bring that back. Do you have any idea how much it's worth?

Bring it back right now.

- We're making a trade. - Are you insane?

You think the guitar's in the same league as some cheap lingerie?

Whatever. Just cut the chatter.

You bring me my mom's gift,

and I'll give this back to you.

Just put your number in.

"Just wait and see?"

Fine. After all that big talk,

we'll just have to see about that.

If you double Chang Restaurant's sales, I'll admit you've earned your big talk.

I'll give you two months.

But if you fail to double the sales after two months,

you will resign, no questions asked.

I’m fine with that.

You seem awfully confident just because our hotel scouted you,

but there are many other chefs, not just you.

I'm sure there are.

If you're so displeased with me, why did you bother to recruit me?

Mom!

I'm speaking with a guest. Don't just barge in.

A guest of yours is a guest of mine, you know.

- Who's this? - Say hello. I was about to introduce you.

Gosh.

For once, someone can actually stand up to my mom.

I'm Ma Seo Rin.

Ma Seo Rin, the Director of Food and Beverage.

I was just hired at Chang Restaurant. My name is Kang Jun Ho.

You're the famous executive chef...

from the three-star Michelin place in the US.

It's nice to finally put a face to the name.

And you're handsome too.

You're totally my type.

Director Ma.

If you'll excuse me.

See you around.

- Goodness. That guy has ice in his veins. - That arrogant punk.

Who does he think he is, acting so high and mighty with me?

Just you wait.

Mom, don't turn this into one of your strange competitions.

How long are you going to act like such a spoiled brat?

This is a workplace. What's with calling me "Mom?"

What? So, now I can't even call my own mother "Mom?"

Isn't it about time you learned to stand on your own two feet?

How long will you carry on like this?

How do you expect to take over the Dream Group?

Gosh, whatever! I can't hear you!

- My gosh, this child... - I can't hear you.

Tae Pyung, the dishes are piling up.

Hush now, my little bunny.

You're such a pretty bunny.

That kid. The dishes are piling up. Where did he run off to?

- Dad. - You're home.

- I'll get them. - Jang Mi! You're home!

Jang Mi, Tae Pyung brought the bunny for me.

So he bought it for your birthday?

Where did Tae Pyung go?

Off to sing, obviously. He probably thought I'd stop him,

so he just snuck out. Gosh.

I should've broken his legs...

to keep him from leaving.

Dad, you know he'd go sing even if he were on crutches.

I'll get the dishes done in a jiffy.

Mom, don't open this.

Just play with the bunny for now, okay?

(Kim Do Yi)

Seeing you sitting here like this...

reminds me of when you were a huge TV star.

You look exactly the same as you did 30 years ago.

I mean, you look exactly the same, Ma'am.

President Hwang, why the sudden formality?

Just talk to me like you used to, like an agency CEO to one of his stars.

But you're the daughter-in-law of the Dream Group,

and now you're the CEO of the Dream Hotel.

No one here really catches my eye. For the hotel's renewal,

I need a fresh new face.

President Hwang. It's been a while. Oh Tae Pyung here.

It's great to see you again.

- You have company. Should I return later? - No, it's fine.

Actually, I'm also looking for a singer to perform at the lounge.

Yes, hello. I'm Oh Tae Pyung's legal advisor,

Lawyer Kang Baek Ho.

Look at you, Oh Tae Pyung, bringing your own lawyer.

Okay, then. Please listen to my song. Just pretend you're in the audience.

- All right. - Thank you. Once you hear Tae Pyung sing,

you'll be dying to give him a record deal.

Let's have a drink

Tonight, you and I

We'll run as one

Hello.

- Here's your side dish delivery. - Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

Hello. I have the side dishes you ordered.

Enjoy.

The side dishes...

Oh, no.

What do I do?

- We'll become one and run - That's enough.

Okay, stop.

- Sorry? - That's not music. That's just noise.

You heard her. Get lost, you punk.

Noise? What are you talking about? Come on, just give him one more chance.

It's okay.

I've been shot down so many times, so I'm immune to it.

But I'll be back, President Hwang.

Hey, Jang Mi. What? Mom did?

If my dear Jung Suk Hee wants a whipped cream cake,

- then a whipped cream cake she'll have. - Jung Suk Hee?

That name sounds so familiar.

That woman has no ear for music. Noise? You sound like a songbird.

I'll just keep knocking on doors...

- until they let me in. - That's the spirit, Oh Tae Pyung.

Hey, I even bought a guitar for you. Just you wait.

You'll sound even better if you sing while playing.

Kang Baek Ho.

I already owe you so much, and now this?

Owe me? Don't be ridiculous.

At least you know it.

What was that?

I mean, defending a scam victim for free is not easy.

Plus, for a lawyer, time is money.

But you're worried I'll be scammed again,

so you tag along with me. Thanks, brother.

Stop being so cheesy.

Hey, I do it because I want to,

so don't ever say that again.

- Or else I'll get mad. - Come here, give me a smooch.

Hey, stop it! That's disgusting!

Looks like our Seo Rin is keeping Father happy.

Debt of gratitude? What are you talking about?

Your kindness is as vast as a river.

Thanks to you, Chairman, we could afford Hong Ju's tuition,

and she was able to attend college. And that's not all, is it?

She even got a job at the hotel...

and was sent abroad for training.

I worry about how we can ever repay you, Chairman.

Hong Ju will be the pigeon that brings you good fortune,

so just you wait and see, Chairman.

- Mom, it's a swallow, not a pigeon. - What?

Pigeon, swallow, what's the difference?

Yeom San Wol, what are you doing here?

Oh, my, CEO Chae.

You're home now?

- You must be tired. - Assistant Manager Jin...

came by to say hello.

You should've told me you were coming.

That way, I could have had the housekeeper prepare a proper dinner for you.

I'm sorry. It was a last-minute trip,

so I didn't get a chance to inform you, CEO Chae.

I worried it would be rude to wait longer to pay our respects to Chairman,

so I was the one who insisted we come now.

- That's why she came unannounced. - That's not it.

I told them to come.

Pardon?

Does she need your permission just to come and say hello to me?

Don't make our guests uncomfortable. What's wrong with you?

By the way, what did you think of Chef Kang Jun Ho from earlier?

Chef Kang Jun Ho?

Apparently, he's a very popular star chef.

Our Hong Ju...

was instrumental in recruiting him.

He's the talent who won first place in an American cooking competition, right?

Yes. King Restaurant was trying to scout him,

but I managed to snatch him up first.

I recommended him to CEO Chae as head chef for Chang Restaurant.

That sneaky little fox. She went over my head to talk to Father.

Look at you. You've really pulled something off.

He's a talent we just couldn't afford to lose.

He's not officially on board yet, so let's not get ahead of ourselves.

We'll see how good he really is over the next two months.

- Get Seo Rin in here right now. - What? Seo Rin?

What has she done?

Did Seo Rin get into trouble again?

She's been quiet for a while. What did she do the minute she got back?

- Yes, CEO Chae. - What have you been doing?

Is something wrong?

Get to the club, find Seo Rin, and bring her here. Right now.

- The club? - Didn't I say to watch her social media?

Why didn't you listen to me and let this happen?

Go drag her here this instant. Now!

That little brat.

She was quiet for a while, but she's at it again.

Suk Hee likes the cake. Tae Pyung bought it.

Suk Hee, do you like the cake that much?

Cake is good.

Bok Gil is good too. You have some too.

Jang Mi, you eat up.

- What about me? - Hey, you.

Mom, I'm the one who bought it, and you're not going to offer me any?

Tae Pyung, thank you.

Seriously. Why are you treating Mom like that?

Look at you. She's my mom too. So what?

- Come here. - Dad! Make him stop!

- The frosting is yummy. Don't fight. - Bring it on.

- Leave Jang Mi alone. - That's enough.

- Go on, try me. - Stop fooling around.

- Go on. - No, don't.

Stop it.

What? They expect you to double sales in two months?

- That's insane. - What kind of restaurant does that?

The clientele for fine dining restaurants is pretty fixed,

so doubling sales that fast is impossible.

Does the CEO of Dream Hotel...

have it out for you or something?

Otherwise, how could anyone expect you to double sales so suddenly?

- Don't worry about it. - What? You think you can do it?

That's my brother for you.

That's right. He is my son, after all.

- He's my son. - Oh, please.

By the way, honey, didn't you say...

you were working on a joint project with Dream Hotel?

Yes.

I think I might get a chance to meet that CEO soon.

I'm going to find out what her deal is. The nerve of that lady.

- How dare she treat my son like that? - Please don't say anything.

I'll handle my own affairs.

- Just a second. - My goodness. Look at you.

Oh, Grandpa.

- My grandpa! - Goodness.

How much did you have to drink?

You're going to ruin your health. You hear me?

Just a little. I was in such a good mood today.

- So I had a few drinks. - For goodness' sake.

She said she was meeting some friends she hadn't seen in a while.

Looks like she had a few drinks with them, Father.

- Get her upstairs so she can rest. - Yes, Father.

- Goodness. Good night. - Good night.

My stomach burns.

You deleted that photo from her socials, didn't you?

- Yes, ma'am. - You should've handled it...

before the PR Team or Secretary Kim found out.

Make sure this doesn't happen again. Keep a close eye on her.

Most young people are on social media these days.

I'm not sure we need to be this strict...

Do you think I'd be cracking down if she used it properly?

But she only ever does things that hurt our stock price.

It's like Ma Seo Rin goes out of her way just to mess with me.

Just like you'd expect from her bloodline.

CEO Chae.

You may go.

I'll pay more attention from now on.

Please try not to be so upset.

Should I have taken the other twin back then?

Why is she becoming such a handful?

She was so obedient when she was little.

Mom.

I love you.

My beautiful mom.

If my dear Jung Suk Hee wants a whipped cream cake,

then a whipped cream cake she'll have.

Jung Suk Hee.

Why does that name sound so familiar?

Jung Suk Hee, where are you?

Jung Suk Hee, where are you?

Where are you? Where is Jung Suk Hee?

What? Did she overhear everything?

Is that why she caught on and ran away? Jung Suk Hee!

Consider today the day you and your children die.

Where are you? Jung Suk Hee!

Jung Suk Hee!

Jung Suk Hee...

How could I have forgotten that name?

Even after all these years.

- Let's go! - Let go of me!

- Take me to Jang Mi. - Let go!

- I said let go! - Take me to Jang Mi.

- Let's go! - Let go of me!

Jung Suk Hee.

She looked like Jung Suk Hee.

No.

Jung Suk Hee died back then. They told me she was dead for sure.

There's no way she's still alive.

It must be someone else with the same name.

Is something the matter?

Kang Hyuk. You told me Jung Suk Hee was dead, right?

Pardon? Jung Suk Hee?

- Why bring her up all of a sudden? - Just answer me. I'm asking you.

You said she was dead. Or rather, she is dead, right?

She fell from so high up.

- There's no way she could've survived. - What about the body?

But her body was never found.

The fact that nothing's happened all this time must mean she's dead.

Otherwise, the police would have come straight to you.

Do you think she would've stayed quiet?

Not after her child was taken from her.

But what brought this on all of a sudden?

Right.

It must just be someone with the same name.

Jung Suk Hee is a pretty common name.

It's been so long.

How would I even recognize her after all this time?

Did you happen to run into her?

I feel uneasy. I don't know why I feel so on edge.

The fact that they never found a body is unsettling,

and hearing her exact name out of the blue is unsettling too.

Why did I have to see a woman who looks like her? Just why?

I can't let this go.

I need to return to where I last saw her.

CEO Chae.

What is it?

The guy who was singing yesterday?

You mean Oh Tae Pyung.

Of course, I don't know where he lives.

Yes, sir.

What? You want me to come to the office?

(Dream Group Negotiating One Billion-dollar Investment...)

(with a Middle Eastern Sovereign Wealth Fund)

Thankfully, it seems Seo Rin's photo was well blocked in the articles.

Okay.

Of course.

Okay.

Yes. Right. I get it.

Mom, hang on. What? Bring my resume?

Okay. Got it.

Jung Suk Hee?

(The First Man)

That was definitely Jung Suk Hee's face.

I have to make sure.

Bring your family relation certificate. Make sure you do!

If this tastes bad, you have to go out with me. Deal?

And if it's good, don't you ever say that to me again.

What happened to my angel?

Hey!

What kind of a guitar costs over 3,000 dollars?

- Settle in court, or do I press charges? - What am I supposed to do?

If it's truly Jung Suk Hee, there's no way she would've stayed quiet until now.

Once I confirm it with my own two eyes,

then it will all make sense.
