Episode 17

I'm already embarrassed to have to show up in front

of you after ten years just so I could save my company.

I'm embarrassed of being ignored by my friend and getting beaten up in front of you.

Now you want me to accept your money?

Then should I just stand there and watch you go through a tough time?

While you're suffering, should I be treated as a queen and have fun all by myself?

If I accept your money, what's next?

I'll just become indebted to you.

I'm not going to think you're pretty or that it's nice to be with you.

But I'm going to think, 'I'm sorry.' 'When should I pay her back?'

It'll become harder and harder to keep seeing you. Don't you know that?

But when you were in debt to Teacher Jung, you got along well with him.

Hey, Ji Young.

Please...

don't embarrass me.

Let's go in.

It's Ji Young! It's Ji Young!

Hurry and sit!

She's Miss Korea, at least place a mat for her to sit on.

Congratulations, Ji Young!

I'm sorry for not making it yesterday.

But you're really amazing for winning first place all on your own.

Here! Have a drink, have a drink!

Now that you've become Miss Korea, you can't kick Hyung Joon to the side, okay?

- Come on! Ji Young wouldn't do that! - Who said she would?

Eat it with the meat.

I'm fine.

- I'd like a drink from Miss Korea. - Me, too.

Cheers everyone!

- Cheers. - Congratulations.

- One shot! - One shot!

I heard about the company.

I'm sorry... that I'm the only one that turned out well.

Is everyone all right?

Of course, we're fine! It doesn't bother us at all! We're fine!

- I'm strong! - I'm strong. We're fine.

What about your meeting with Yoon?

He agreed to take over the employees.

As for the company... I've agreed to hand over the company to him.

That's good!

It turned out well. At least we were able to save our employee's jobs.

And you become a total bum?

Well, I'm not in debt now.

In this IMF crisis, if you don't have any debts, you're considered to be rich.

Hey, Ji Young... I'm rich now.

But, you've pretty much handed everything over to him

there's really nothing for the president?

Yoon, that... thieving bastard!

That thieving bastard!

- Seriously, look at Miss Korea curse. - I can't help myself!

Just forget it and let's not talk about the company now.

- We're here to congratulate you! - Lady! Several more bottles of soju please!

Let's be happy and stop frowning.

- Hey, Miss Korea, say 'Waikiki' for us. - I'm getting sick of saying that.

- Then say 'Hawaii'. - I'm disgusted by it now.

You have to go to Hawaii so just say it once!

Yeah, you're going to Hawaii so say it once!

What happened to us is our business and what happened to you is a good thing.

Hey, if it didn't turn out well for you,

all of us would be going through a tougher time than this.

I wish you would know how happy we are for you.

So just smile comfortably in front of us.

- Where are you going? - Yes? Please don't be too curious.

Why are you talking formally to me all of a sudden? What's wrong, Teacher Jung?

He's drunk, he's drunk.

'Hawaii!'

It's kind of fun to see Miss Korea drink!

Have a drink, Hwa Jung.

I'm going to make this especially for our Miss Korea, Oh Ji Young.

- Let's eat a lot. - Kimchi.

Kimchi!

Where are you going? To the bathroom?

What?

Oh, it's you doctor.

Why did you leave so soon?

I thought you were going to come back in after a smoke.

You're really going to leave?

- Doctor. - What is it?

Do you like studying that much?

You're already a doctor now.

How far do you plan on going by studying some more?

What?

I only graduated from junior high... so, is a punk like me...

not good enough for you?

Well, if I'm going to even have a chance with you...

I would need to graduate from high school, college, graduate school and get a PhD.

I need to go to France, too.

I couldn't catch up to you even if I tried.

Can't you stop studying?

I want to be of some strength to you, too. Who cares if you accept it?

We made first place together.

Then are you just going to let the BB cream be taken by another company?

Are you going to give up?

Okay.

Then give it to me.

I'm going to do whatever I want with this then.

Of course!

Okay, thanks.

What's the occasion? I can't believe you're listening to me.

In exchange... don't pity me, okay? I'm going to be successful like you.

You and I are still standing side by side.

- Just wait. - I said we're side by side.

I'll be on top soon.

You clearly saw what happened, right?

Teacher Jung likes our Hwa Jung, right?

- It seems so. - How dare he?

I've never once tried to relay my feelings to her and

Teacher Jung just expressed it to Hwa Jung right now.

Does Hwa Jung like him, too?

Even if the skies fell, that will never happen.

It would be easier if the North and South were to reunite.

- Anyway, I'm against it! - Me, too.

Can't you stop studying?

Because of the IMF, there won't be any place asking me to come right away.

A woman has to at least study in this dangerous world to survive.

You're going to study some more after all.

You're so full of it!

You must be so ecstatic to have a daughter that's the winner of Miss Korea!

Oh, it's not so bad!

Can you imagine how well she'll marry?

I'm so envious, Mr. Oh!

And the business must be doing so well because of all the rumors!

That's right.

I can't believe Miss Korea came from our neighborhood!

And she's the winner, too.

Do you know the chant, Mi-Ko-Jin? ('Winner of Miss Korea')

It's a hit among the kids!

- Winner of Miss Korea! - Winner of Miss Korea!

Hey, everyone knows us here in this neighborhood. Let go.

No one's here!

If you won't let me hold hands when I want to

then just what the heck are we supposed to do while we date?

Date?

Hey, it hasn't been long since you signed the Miss Korea contract!

The most important thing is to watch out for scandals.

And did you or did you not hear that you're not allowed to date at all?

I'm going to secretly do it all.

Secretly? All of it?

And just what on earth is that?

I don't know what that is.

We can start finding out now.

We can't.

We can.

I'm telling you, we can't! If something happens, you're going to be in big trouble!

Anyway, until May of next year, I'm not a man to you..

I'm just a... lamp post, okay?

So, I'm a lamp post that will protect and brightly shine a light on you, okay?

- Lamp post my ass. - What, my ass?

Who in the world thinks the committee is like a school teacher

and follows exactly as they say?

That's why I said I would do it secretly!

Who said I was going to do it out in the open?

I'm going to do it. You can do whatever you want.

You troublesome brat!

I thought we would never see each other again?

I... will put Ji Young in your care, Director.

Please take care of her.

The prize money that you dedicated all to some punk... is it Hyung Joon?

Yes.

Why?

Did he say he liked you again? Did he say he loved you?

So did he seduce you for the money?

I practically begged him to take the money and he threw a fit.

And no matter how much I ranted about secretly dating, he doesn't want to.

He said we can't. What should I do, Mom?

What... what?

So you're saying you dedicated that money to him while begging him to secretly date, but

that punk Hyung Joon is playing hard to get? Is that it?

Why would a woman chase after a man?

If anything a man should chase after the woman because he has feelings for her!

On top of that, what does he have to show for?

Who does he think he is to treat Miss Korea like she's some kimchi stew?

Kimchi stew?

He's tasting right now!

To see if it's salty or not!

Grandpa. What can I do to make Hyung Joon like me more?

I'm a woman, too. It's a blow to my pride.

Father... why in the world is she living like this?

- Get your act together! - You...

- I'm going to sleep first. - I think she needs a beating.

It's true that Ji Young won the Miss Korea pageant all on her own.

Like you said... I have no right as a 'queen-maker.'

I will not leave her to anyone else's care.

It's only you, Director Ma... that I trust to take care of Ji Young.

Instead of wasting her time by my side

please be Ji Young's queen-maker... so she can soar.

Help her get ready for Miss Universe and

manage whatever work she'll be getting from now on as well.

And what if Ji Young flies to a place where you can't reach her?

Make sure that she flies.

The moment she's under my care, your love for her will be in danger.

That's something I will have to handle on my own.

I heard your company got shut down.

Was it because of a risky venture, gambling or self-confidence?

Please turn Ji Young into a real queen.

Okay.

The moment she became Miss Korea, she started walking on thin ice.

A little blunder, a moment's mistake and before you even fall

you're already submerged in a world of ice cold water in which you have to escape from.

For the two of you... I won't tell you guys to break up.

Until the Miss Universe pageant... restrain yourselves from one another.

- Yes. - Be careful, the two of you.

- Yes. - Don't date behind my back.

- Yes, I understand. - The moment she's under my care,

don't protest with whatever situation or decisions that I make.

Yes.

You just sold your soul to me today.

Why am I so pleased?

You turn Ji Young into a queen.

And I will make Ji Young happy.

Do well, Director.

We're going to secretly date.

The Miss International pageant that Soo Yeon will be entering next year will be in Japan.

The Miss World competition that Jae Hee will be entering is in Seychelles.

Seychelles? What country is that place a part of?

Ah yes, I hear it is in Africa.

I'm busy so hurry and get to the point.

Madame, the thing is... I have something to say to you today.

I heard your salon got seized by the bank.

How did you find out?

Don't you know how fast the rumors are in this business?

Just how indebted were you to have your shop be taken over?

Madame, what should I do? I worked so hard to set up my salon!

You know, don't you?

When I worked for you, I didn't spend any of my paychecks and saved up every single won.

I packed a lunchbox every day just so I could save more money.

And I ate ramen at the shop.

I set up that salon with my blood, sweat and tears!

That's why you should've lived within your means!

You were so afraid to even buy a measly 50 million won salon!

'I'll just look at it.' 'I'll just take it in with my eyes.'

You wouldn't stop looking at it and in the end you made me open up my pockets.

But was that 50 million won picture adequate? Do you make Miss Korea out of money?

Where did you learn such wicked things and flaunt money like that?

That's why you got your shop taken away!

Madame! What am I going to do?

Why are you asking me that?

Can't you... accept me?

- Manager Yoon, what is she saying right now? - I don't think she's in her right mind.

Madame!

Madame, don't be like that and please accept me!

I promise to go back to the basics and work very hard!

Madame, you know me! I'm Yang Chun Ja!

When I worked with you, I even played dead and did everything that you asked of me!

That's why you loved me so much!

That's right, she loved you very much.

But you stabbed her in the back and betrayed her.

Manager Yoon, get it right!

Are you going to work for Madame forever? Why is branching off to your own salon a betrayal?

The people that don't know keep saying I stole or copied the Madame's method!

No! I learned all that! I learned it! Why would I copy it? Why would that be stealing?

Honestly... you didn't make all those methods on your own, Madame.

While you were turning them into winners, it's not like I was just going along for the ride!

- Right, Madame? Right? - Stop whining and get up.

No, no, no!

Until you say 'yes' and accept me, I won't move an inch from this spot!

Look, it's out again. This pig-headed, stubbornness of yours!

I won't leave this place at all today!

I need to think about it!

- Madame! - I haven't decided yet!

You're such a thoughtful person, too. Thank you, Madame.

From here on out, I'm going to do whatever you ask me to.

I still haven't decided!

Madame!

Madame, I starved all day today and I'm hungry.

Please buy me some pork skins and soju, yes?

Goodness.

- Are you waiting for someone? - No.

Get in.

- Get in. - Hyung Joon.

You worked hard in preparing yourself to become Miss Korea.

You should prepare properly for the Miss Universe pageant.

The Director is waiting. Let's hurry and get going.

We've already talked it out so don't worry and get in.

- Hyung Joon. - It's all right, get in.

So according to the lawyer,

you're saying that Miss Oh Ji Young is 26 years old, right?

Yes. We've always held the pageant in May,

but ever since the postponement to December, there seems to have been a discrepancy.

So in the end, Oh Ji Young didn't meet the requirements because of her age.

A contestant that didn't have the right to enter, is wearing the winner's crown.

Manager Kim... why don't we let go of this matter just this once?

Since there was that scandal of switching the winner of Miss Seoul.

If another messed up situation arises, but this time about the final round.

It will be a serious matter in regards to the future of the Miss Korea pageant.

As a main sponsor, this is quite unfortunate.

Ever since we've switched it to December,

the acceptance date for each district has been a mess.

So even though the age requirement was specified

to be 25 years old on the day of the finals.

With the contestants and with the committee... a lot of things were neglected.

If we had held it on the original month of May,

Oh Ji Young's age would not have been an issue at all.

It's exactly a day apart, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?

I'm not sure. Whether it's necessary or not, I'll think about it some more.

- Pardon? - If needed

don't you think it's natural for the winner to be replaced?

I'm a little busy so I'll go ahead and leave first.

Director.

Director, she's arrived.

These are the clothes and accessories that the Miss Korea

from two years ago used for the Miss Universe pageant.

This much?

If I told you that this wasn't enough, would you believe me?

For over twenty-one days during the training camp

you're being judged at the parties that will be held every day.

At the least, you will need ten evening gowns.

On top of that a suit, casual wear and a track suit.

Because you're going to be judged every day of every moment by the media

you can't even afford to wear a simple t-shirt however way you want.

Even things that you can't see, like your socks and underwear.

Depending on who will be seeing you, your clothes must be coordinated.

Every day, like a model who is on the runway. Like an actress standing in front of a camera.

That's the reality of the Miss Universe pageant.

Do you understand?

Unfortunately, these items are not in fashion anymore so you won't be able to use them.

You'll need to buy everything new to match the trends.

It'll cost a substantial amount of money.

Twenty million won is not going to cut it.

Since it's the IMF crisis, you won't be able to get enough sponsors as well.

And it's not like you're at an age where you simply get my support.

You'll have to prepare by earning the money on your own.

Why? Have you already lost confidence?

No, I'll do it.

It all depends on you. Whether it's an advertisement or a TV show.

If there's anything that suits you, I'll get you connected.

Yes, Ma'am.

It will be incomparable to the Miss Korea pageant.

It's going to be a lot more strict and severe.

If you're not ready to win that, it's not too late to go back now.

What do you want to do?

Please take care of me.

Thank you.

Raise your head.

It took quite a while...

for us two.

I've been thinking...

That lip gloss has no color that even a man could put it on.

Up until now, the trend has been to perfect a full coverage makeup.

But, if...

- BaDa releases our BB cream. - Let's take out the 'our'.

So... so if the BB cream get released...

We've been saying that it's ours for years. How can he just stop it all of a sudden?

So if our BB cream...

- How can he take that out? - Be quiet, will you?

If it gets released from BaDa, without a doubt the BB cream will become a hit.

Among the women, the look of not having makeup on is going to be a trend.

Then don't you think the strong and heavy lipstick that's being used now

won't be suitable then?

I mean, you're wearing the BB cream so it will look like you don't have makeup on.

'I put really heavy makeup on.'

Do you think they would want to wear a strong lipstick like that?

- That's true. - Once the BB cream becomes a hit

they're going to look for a different kind of lipstick for the lips just as well.

- How about this? - Hey!

Lip gloss has no color at all!

Hyung Joon, the lip gloss is to go over the lipstick.

How is that going to beat a lipstick that has color?

- How can we compete with that? - Exactly.

All we have to do is make a lip gloss that has color in it.

We'll make the first lip gloss to ever have color in it.

Since no one knows what a BB cream is very well

they don't know the kind of lipstick that will suit it.

So we're going to be the first ones to release that in the market.

Just watch. The more popular the BB cream gets,

they're going to look for a natural lip gloss that suits the natural look of the BB cream.

- That will be a hit. - You're right! Why didn't we think of this?

In the meantime, let's call Hwa Jung first, but where are we going to meet?

If you're interested in the BB cream

you must take over the whole ViVi Cosmetics company.

I'm not sure... granted the BB cream is an item with a lot of potential, but...

is it worth buying it at an expensive price like this?

My next meeting is with Yuriana. If it's not to your liking, you can decline the offer.

Fine, I'll accept it.

Now then, shall we start the negotiations?

Here, these are the conditions of the take over.

Please take a look at it.

Wait, using Oh Ji Young as the advertising model for ViVi, is a condition as well?

I'm surprised. I thought you would like it.

It seems you are quite interested in Miss Oh Ji Young.

Thanks to Miss Oh Ji Young, the BB cream has already

gotten a lot of attention before it even came out on the market.

I don't think it's bad from BaDa's perspective.

But the problem is, I'm not sure if Miss Oh Ji Young will continue to be Miss Korea.

What are you talking about?

I found out due to her age, she was never

qualified from the beginning to participate in the pageant.

She turned exactly 26 years old on the day of the finals.

Are you saying...

you're going to take away her crown because of a one day difference?

Well, whether it's a day or a month, the rules are the rules.

Nothing has been decided yet, but in a little bit...

Manager Kim.

I will decrease the amount of the take over cost by three percent.

Please just cover the issue with Miss Oh Ji Young.

I'm saying, don't let her qualifications become a problem.

As you are suggesting to not use Oh Ji Young as the advertising model for ViVi

I, too, have no intentions of handing over the BB cream to BaDa Cosmetics.

Woong Sang, there aren't a lot of customers.

- I know. - Do you think it's the IMF's fault?

I wonder if it's because we closed it several times so we could cheer Ji Young?

We have no customers and all we have are freeloaders coming in and out.

- Goodness, how annoying. - Anyway, I don't like that punk, Hyung Joong.

- Welcome. - Welcome.

The women of our country will die if they don't put lipstick on before they go out.

Only a lip gloss?

I'm not sure. Even if we add color to it, do you think they'll fall for it?

Really?

We can just make the color of the lip gloss really good.

But there's a limit to the color of the lip gloss.

In addition, it's a product that erases really well.

I wonder if there's a good way somehow.

Teacher Jung, you're here.

Come and have a seat here. Hey, can you take that from him?

- Why did you call Teacher Jung? - In his car

there were several BB creams left over from the first three thousand units we made.

I asked him to bring it over to us, why?

Come and sit here.

Come and sit over here, Teacher Jung.

Or you can sit in my spot.

- Why? - What?

Are you guys working together again?

Yes and you're jobless,too. What do you think about working with us?

Hey!

Why not? In starting back with our business

I can't think of anyone else that's a better partner than Teacher Jung.

Why? Is that a problem?

Are you going to let me be the president?

- Do you want to be the president? - Then let me be the president if I can.

It's a pain in the butt. You have to go and hunt for money all the time, it's not that great.

- Still, it sounds nice. - If that's want you want, go ahead.

- Hey! - Hyung Joon!

- Why? - Why? Are you guys against it?

- I'm against it. - I'm against it, too.

- Why? - I'm in favor of it.

Are you crazy?

How can you give the position of presidency to a person that only graduated from junior high?

Hey. He would be a hundred times better than you.

That's not what I meant. I just...

After graduate school, all you really know is how to talk. Besides that, what can you do?

You can't fight nor can you get the money that we need.

Do you even have the sense of what the market is like?

Hey, when the factory was being taken over,

Teacher Jung did a lot more in trying to stop it than you.

How is a better educated person like you better than Teacher Jung?

So do you have feelings for Teacher Jung, too?

- What, are two dating or something? - Seriously, what's wrong with you guys?

What are you guys talking about?

Since he's being good to you, are you thinking of going out with him?

Get your act together. You're a doctor.

You're a doctor and Teacher Jung is a criminal with five felonies to his name!

You think that's the only difference of whether you're educated or not?

It's not. You know that both of you guys lead very different lives!

He doesn't suit you.

You're too good for him! Did your mind go haywire after the company shut down?

Why would the Hwa Jung I treasure so much

act like she gave up on her life and go out with a man like that?

Who said I was going out with him?

- Why are you being such an ass? - Hwa Jung.

Since he knows better than us that world is cruel

I figured he wouldn't let us naively hand over the company next time, why?

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, it was just a joke! Why would I become the president?

I don't know or have any interest in women's makeup.

Hey, a security guard sounds good! Yeah!

I can become a shield whenever a loan shark comes your way again.

And I'll prevent any solicitors from entering.

I would just like for you guys to start back up again.

I'm going to leave, go ahead and work. Fighting!

You're... you're just going to leave? Teacher Jung!

Seriously, why are you guys acting like this?

And?

Well, I'm not sure if they both have feelings for each other or if it's just one-sided.

- Who's the one that's one-sided? - Don't you think it's Teacher Jung?

But why is Hong Sam so against it?

A long time ago, he tried to testing the waters and he got shot down.

How was today?

It was a little strange, wasn't it?

Thanks.

You didn't say a word about not going to Director Ma and

you just got in the car without even turning back once.

Hyung Joon.

BaDa Cosmetics keeps asking me to sign a contract with them, what should I do?

Director Ma says that I should, but I don't want to.

I feel like it would be a betrayal to you and if I did do an advertisement

with them, I feel like I'll only get angry.

- Hey, Ji Young, sign that contract with them. - Why?

Work hard on the commercials and do your best in selling the BB cream.

Right now, I'm in the process of developing a lip gloss that will suit the BB cream.

- Really? - The more popular the BB cream gets,

instead of the dark lipsticks that are in trend right now...

People are going to look for a natural lip gloss that

will go well with the natural look of the BB cream.

Well, the BB cream may belong to BaDa now, but

in order for ours to do well, the BB cream has to do well, too.

It's like sleeping with the enemy.

Sleeping with the enemy?

Well, if that happens, we can start back up again.

Really?

If the enemy does well, so can we. Bear that in mind.

Hwa Jung, Hwa Jung.

Hwa Jung, I was... Hwa Jung.

Hey... Hwa Jung.

I'm...

going to leave soon to study.

Whatever you guys were thinking, it didn't happen.

You're not going to make the lip gloss with us?

I'm just going to help out with that and then leave.

I've already taken care of all the formalities.

Then, do you like me or Teacher Jung?

I've come to like him as much as I like you. Why?

You like Teacher Jung as much as you like me?

Then how much do you like me? Do you like me this much?

Or do you like me this much?

Do you really think I would only like you just a little bit?

I'm sorry about what happened earlier.

Don't apologize to me, but go and apologize to Teacher Jung.

See you later.

Take care.

So is she saying she likes Teacher Jung or not?

She said she likes me this much.

And Teacher Jung, too.

Even making the lip gloss...

They're going to need money.

From now on, this will be your training place

in preparing for the world beauty pageants.

For the next five months, you will start a hellish training regimen.

Don't ever forget for even one moment that you guys are the beauties representing Korea!

- Yes, sir! - Oh Ji Young.

You're the best of the best.

If Miss Korea was a national competition than this is the Olympics!

Just because you've sold your face somewhat in our country, don't take it lightly!

This stage is on a whole different level, do you understand?

Yes, sir!

This is the five drum dance that all of you will

be performing at the international competition.

There is a reason why Director Ma chose the five drum dance for the talent show.

First, it's a traditional performance that the foreigners like the most.

The fact that the exciting beat of the drums captures the audiences' attention.

Also, with the elegant lines of the traditional gown and the flexible movements,

it will naturally show the beautiful shape and graceful lines of the body.

To simply put it, you're killing three birds with one stone.

Like this.

Go over.

Hit it with more passion!

With a mindset of a national athlete! With a mindset of a national athlete!

Exactly! Bend the waist more!

Bend your waist more backwards! More!

- Hurry up! - Why did you bring me here?

Use your head a little bit, will you?

All the winning contestants of Miss Korea are gathered here at Queen Salon.

So do you think the representatives of the TV shows

and advertisement companies will show up here or not?

It's usually the mutts in the battlefield that fatten up from all the scraps left over.

That's why you need to be here so you can eat what's lying around, don't you think so?

Director!

There is a difference between what the Miss Korea

and Miss Universe is looking for in a beauty.

In order for us to branch off again, we have to soak everything in.

But why can't I hear? I wish he would speak more loudly.

Let's just open the door very slightly.

And they're looking for that particular beauty who is able to show their individuality.

Someone who can show that one special characteristic...

What do you want?

I was walking down the corridor and I thought I would check to see if Madame Ma was here.

But why are you giving the lessons? Where is Madame Ma?

Today is my day in proceeding with the lessons.

It looks like Queen is not what it used to be.

I can't believe a mere manager is teaching class.

During my time, it took ten years to even learn how to elegantly wave your hand!

Was it betrayal that you learned for over ten years?

Granted the Director felt sorry for you and took you in, but

she has strictly barred you from entering the training room.

I'm strictly barred? Seriously, how childish!

Did you really bring this girl here with you?

Then do you leave your child behind because you got married again?

That's enough! Please leave.

I'm not interested in class where the Madame isn't present!

I was going to be nice to you, but you have no respect for your elders, do you?

Let's go now, baby.

I swear Yang Chun Ja, you're so low class.

Make sure you're teaching properly!

Yes, Director?

Yes. Yes, I'll send her right away.

One copy of the contract, you can keep for yourself, Miss Oh Ji Young.

Now then, the signing is complete.

From here on out, I hope you work in representing BaDa cosmetics.

Director, I'll be on my way now.

Does Manager Kim have something against you by any chance?

No, there isn't anything.

Then just what on earth was that nasty smirk for?

It's like I left home without putting my lipstick on.

Right. An advertisement offer from the supermarket and the department store came in.

The department store?

You got two offers. One from Dream Department store and the other is Dongah.

Which one do you want to do?

Sir, have you decided on who our advertisement model will be for next year?

Both the staff and the advertisement agency

keep recommending the winner of Miss Korea, Miss Oh Ji Young.

Wait, did you say Oh Ji Young?

Right. Since she used to work as an elevator girl here, you must know her very well.

I heard the Dongah department store also would like to use Miss Oh Ji Young for their model.

Now we can't have them steal one of our former elevator girls, can we?

Of course. Ji Young was under my care while she worked here.

She'll do anything I tell her to do.

Just count on me and I'll bring her over to our department store.

All right.

Yes, sir.

Oh Ji Young.

This is a first.

You paging me.

Really?

Don't fight with the boys because of me.

I...

think a person that only graduated from junior high can become a president, too.

Really?

Then what about dating?

You're not confident in dating me?

Sure.

It's a little embarrassing, isn't it?

Who said it was embarrassing?

If it's not embarrassing then what is it?

I'm not confident.

It's better to not even start.

Sure.

Let's just eat our noodles.

- Here you go. - What about the Director?

Hey! Do you think I came here because I wanted to?

Just so she could get some sponsors for the evening gowns

you could wear at the Miss Universe pageant

she got invited to one of Charles Kim's soirees in Jejudo and I'm here in her stead.

Oh my gosh!

Look at your arm! Your arm! You're just like Madame Ma, you're both like chopsticks.

You're nicely proportioned, but you're too skinny! You have no volume at all!

When you're getting ready for the Miss Universe pageant,

gain some weight and work on your volume!

Yes, ma'am.

Okay! Today I'll properly create some volume in your hair.

Essence!

Great volume! Great luster!

Whether it's the chest or the hair, being glamorous is the way to go.

Understand?

Are preparations for the shoot going well?

Yes.

This is the lipstick you will be using at the shoot today.

With the BB cream together, this is the new product BaDa is promoting.

'A lipstick that blows kisses.' Wine ever!

Oh my gosh, how should I put it? It's like the name kind of makes a person tipsy!

Oh my gosh, Manager!

Your lips are particularly sexy! 'Lips that blow kisses'?

Now, my baby, how about we try this on.

Rub your lips a little bit.

The color is quite strong.

Since the BB cream is so natural looking

our aim is to focus on emphasizing the lips more.

I'm in the process of developing a lip gloss that will suit the BB cream.

Really?

The more popular the BB cream gets,

instead of the strong lipsticks that are in trend right now...

People are going to look for a natural lip gloss that

will go well with the natural look of the BB cream.

Well, the BB cream may now belong to BaDa, but

in order for ours to do well, the BB cream has to do well, too.

It's like sleeping with the enemy.

Well, if that happens, we can start back up again.

Manager.

Besides the commercials,

if there are any events or promotions for the BB cream, please call me so I can participate.

I promise to discard everything and come running.

You know how much affection I have for the BB cream.

- 51BC34. - The ratio is 2 to 1, Hong Sam.

Let's try the ratio of 1:2:2 with the LP70.

LP70?

Number 22 is the LP70.

Hwa Jung, here it is.

- Set it there. - Hold on.

- Now, shall we try it? - Let's do it.

Here's the water.

Do you think it came out well?

It needs to go on well.

Please, I really hope it turns out well!

Hey, the color is pretty! The gloss is just right, too.

Hey, it goes on well and it's not even sticky.

Everything is just about right.

Hey we need to check how long this will last.

Kang Woo, make sure the chemical components are recorded well.

We can't even have a single millimeter out of place, okay?

Don't worry! It's been recorded in my head and on the paper.

Hyung Joon, hurry and get his in a tube.

I'm going to call a friend from the laboratory and see if she can get me a stability test.

Okay. As soon as Ji Young gets here, let's have her put this on with the BB cream.

- Okay! - Hey, the color is pretty! It's nice, right?

It's really nice.

It's like you can't tell, your skin looks so natural.

- I'm sorry. - It's fine. Let's do it again.

Please give me a brighter expression, more lively. Yes, that's perfect.

Ready, cue!

It's like you can't tell, your skin looks so natural.

The secret to a confident, bare face? The BB cream.

Cut! Oh, that was great!

Are you ready? We'll be starting now.

Ready, cue!

It's like you can't tell, your skin looks so natural.

The secret to a confident, bare face? The BB cream.

Cut! Yes, that was very nice.

- Now this time, let's try be more lovely. - Okay.

Work on your expression a little bit more. Try to be more bright, okay?

It's been awhile.

Is it the effect of being Miss Korea? You've gotten a lot prettier.

- Looks like you're having fun. - What brings you here?

Ah, that's right. You were the one that handed the BB cream to BaDa, right?

So did you come to check if it's being used at the shoot?

To see if the BB cream really belongs to BaDa or not?

In any case, I'm glad to see that you're doing well.

From here on out you have nothing more to worry about.

I just hope you'll live your life enjoying everything you get, like you are now.

When time has passed by and you've gotten used to living this lifestyle

I believe you'll have the time to consider me again.

After the company went bankrupt and you were hoping that I broke up with Hyung Joon

What can I do? I'm actually offended that you would think that's all I amount to.

Sure. If you dumped Hyung Joon right away, that would've been worthless.

I never imagined you would ask to see me.

I got this from doing the BB cream commercial and being BaDa's model.

Make the others use this in making the lip gloss.

Teacher Jung, you can't let him know that I'm the one who provided this money, okay?

- You think Hyung Joon will fall for it? - Exactly.

So you would have to lie very well.

I'm not confident.

I heard you got convicted with five felonies! You can't even make up a simple lie?

- It's so easy to fool Hyung Joon. - I won't do it!

You do it, if you're so good at lying!

There's no way I could ever lie to Hyung Joon.

So you're making me do this because you think I'm the best at lying?

Then who else is going to do it?

Should Hong Sam who can't keep a secret do it? Or Hwa Jung who's to upright for her own good?

Or Kwang Woo who's too soft-hearted? There isn't anyone.

You know how to keep a secret.

You're doing it, okay?

I can run off with it, too.

Do whatever you want, if that's what you feel like doing.

Could you actually do that when you like Hwa Jung so much?

Little brat! You're just having a ball having your way with me, aren't you?

Once I get the contract money from the supermarket and the department store

I'm going to give it all to you. So lie every time and give it to Hyung Joon.

Hey! Do you think they're idiots?

They're all doctors! How can I lie every time when I only graduated from junior high?

I know, so use your head and think that you're conning them while you're at it!

Seriously, I swear!

You're going to do it, right?

You're here.

What is that?

It's money from my savings account. I have another one that I'll be closing soon.

As soon as it closes, I'll give it all to you.

Use it for making the lip gloss.

Teacher Jung.

Done?

Here.

This is the sample lip gloss that you guys made?

Put it on.

I brought this...

This is the lipstick that BaDa Cosmetics is promoting as their new product.

Really?

BaDa never failed with this color before.

The look of the skin has changed drastically with the BB cream, but

do you think the usual method will work?

Then should we try testing it?

I'm going to show you two different kinds of lip color.

Out of the two, raise your hands to which color looks good on me. All right?

I think Ji Young looks the prettiest without any makeup.

- Me, too! - This is really important!

So focus and properly evaluate it.

Okay.

Here we go.

This is number one.

Everyone got a good look? And this one, too.

This one is number two.

Now, raise your hands if I looked prettier with the number one, lip gloss.

Raise your hands if I looked prettier with the number two, wine color.

It's two to two, it's a tie.

[BaDa Lipstick]

[ViVi Lip gloss]

[Miss Korea '97 Oh Ji Young: Feel Her Beauty]

This is where all the trends start.

If the response is good here, then it's a huge hit.

If there's no response, then we're done for.

I know.

Hey, someone might look!

- What if someone takes a picture? - My face is covered!

- Is there something you're looking for? - What is that over there?

Ah, the new product? It's from ViVi Cosmetics.
