"Why didn't Gihong do the dishes?" "Oh, well." "I'll do it then." "All clean now." " Hey!" " Wait." "Maybe it's not waterproof!" " Stop it." " Hold still, will you?" "Waterproof." "Waterproof." "Are you crying?" "Because of me?" "You were crying." "Oh, my goodness." "Just bear with us, Choi Jinuk." "Please?" "Pretty please?" "Fine, but just for a little bit." "Whether you're older or younger, honorific or no honorific," "I..." "I..." "I like you, Lee Soyeong." "What's all this?" "Is this for dad?" "He is your father regardless." "He will be walking you down the aisle one day." "I'm off to work." "What about something chic like this?" "No, no." "Chae Seula would probably prefer something cute." "I have a very good idea." " What is it?" " What idea?" "When someone says Chae Seula, what comes to your mind?" "Very short shorts and skirts." "So our concept for this mini dress will be Valmont plus missing bottoms." "Missing bottoms?" "Let's consider this." "We can just chop off the skirt like this." "But just shortening it would be weird." "We have to think about the overall balance." " I think it'll work." " Hello, hello, hello." "Hello, hello." "My girlfriend works so fast." "Look at how much you've gotten done." "Yeah." "You're working very fast on the dress because you want to spend more time with me, right?" "Can I see you for a second?" "For a second?" "Sure." "You're so pretty." "If I could have it my way, I'd carry you around in my pocket." "I'd have to fold you up." "But if I folded your legs, they'd break." " And if I were to fold your arms..." " Look." "Yeah?" "Let's end this." "End what?" "Our relationship." "Let's call it quits." "What are you talking about?" "Are you still sleepy?" "I must have been dreaming because you're so cute." "But I need to wake up from that dream now." "You must think I like being surprised, but I don't like it one bit." "I don't ever want you to surprise me like this, so just stop." "You cried your eyes out the last time you called it quits." "Then you came to me the next day and gave me all kinds of nonsense." "Okay, fine." "That was because you had lied to me." "But what is it this time?" "Have you been hiding something else from me?" "Is that why you're pretending not to like me when you actually do?" "It's not that." "I do like you." "Then what is it?" "You're not hiding anything from me, and you like me." "So why call it quits?" "Just stop it." "If you keep this up, I'll really get angry." "How far do you think we can go?" "Huh?" "Will you marry me?" "Why are you suddenly talking about marriage?" "I'm 34 years old." "I need to find someone I can settle down with." "Things are great now, but where do you think we'll be in a year?" " We'll still be together in a wonderful relationship." " How about two years from now?" "Do you think things will still be okay in three years?" "It's great now, but with time, you'll find me burdensome because of my age, and I will get hurt." " So we should just..." " Hold up." "Hold up." "Hold up." "What you're saying is you need to get married right away because if I change my mind later, it will be your loss, right?" "So if I'm not going to marry you right now, we shouldn't go on, right?" " No." " Then what is it?" "You're not the guy I need at this point in my life." "I know you'll be upset and flabbergasted for a while, but you'll understand me when you become my age." "I have to get back to work." "Hey!" "Hey, Lee Soyeong!" "Hey!" "What's wrong with her?" "We had a great date." "Really?" "She really broke up with you?" "I don't know." "I guess she's confused." "She says she needs someone she can settle down with." "Is 34 really old?" "Is getting married such a priority at that age?" "Of course." "Absolutely." " Really?" " Yes." "Ms. Lee made a wise decision." "What?" "Think about it." "She is seven years your senior." "Realistically speaking, things won't work out." "Do you think your father would approve of her?" "He's your father, so I guess you'll manage." "But what about Ms. Lee?" "She'll get very hurt." "Come on, Gihong." "Don't be like this." "If you're not ready to go all the way, just get off before you're too far ahead." "That's the right answer, okay?" "The right answer?" "No way." "I'll go all the way." "Whether I walk, run or crawl," "I can go all the way." "That's right." "I'm very sorry to come by like this without prior notice." "My name is Choi Jinuk." "I see." "Please sit down." "Where are you, Soyeong?" "I'm almost home. what's up?" "This is huge." "Your boyfriend's here." "What?" "How do you know Soyeong?" "He works at the same company." "So you're a designer?" "No." "I'm an MD." "MD?" "While Soyeong designs clothes," "I'm the one who does the math." "I figure out how much each piece should sell for as well as the production volume." "I see." "How old are you?" "It doesn't look like you're older than Soyeong." "I'm 27." "Oh... 27." "That means you're..." "Yes." "I'm seven years younger." "You're a lot younger." "What's the big deal?" "There are lots of couples like that these days." "I may be younger than Soyeong, but I've completed my military service" "and you may think I'm being cocky, but I'm not too ignorant about how the world works." "My parents run a business, you see." "Your parents run their own business?" "Yes." "They run a small pork hocks restaurant." "Oh, a pork hocks restaurant." "Are you here to ask for Soyeong's hand in marriage?" "No." "Not yet, ma'am." "I'm here today to officially introduce myself to you as Soyeong's boyfriend, ma'am." "The thing is, this is only my second year on the job." "I don't have the wherewithal to take care of Soyeong right now." "But if you give me a little bit of time," "I'll make sure to get things ready to be able to support Soyeong before I ask for her hand in marriage." "I just wanted to ask you for your kind patience." "So you're here to place first dibs on Soyeong?" "Yes, ma'am." "What is it about Soyeong you like so much?" "She's pretty and sweet." "And she's pretty." "I like everything about her." "My goodness." " What are you doing here?" " Hi." "Let's go." "We'll talk outside." "What's the matter with you?" "Calm down." "I'll explain later." "Let's go." "Come on." " I'll see you again, ma'am." " Of course." "What's up with your sister?" "Does Soyeong not like him?" "That's not what it looks like." "What a shame." "If only he were about Soyeong's age." "What's the problem?" "It's not like I don't know you're older than me." "And you like me, too." "So let's get married." "But I'm not financially stable yet, so just give me some time." "I guess I must not have made myself clear earlier." "Listen carefully." "I didn't say I was breaking up with you because I wanted to make you marry me." "I don't want to tie you down." "You're way too young." "I know." "But how can I let you go?" "I can't marry a baby like you." "I'm not as naive as you think I am." "What?" "A baby?" "You saw our place." "I'm the breadwinner of my family." "I was desperate enough to lie about my age for a temp job." "Plus, even after I get married, I have to support my family." "I need a man who can take care of my family." "But do you have what it takes?" "Let me reiterate." "Let's end this." "Do it for me." "I can't." "Break up." "Do you think it makes any sense?" " What we went through to..." " I'm done." "I have a meeting with Chae Seula tomorrow morning." "I need to finish the dress, so I have to go." "Lee Soyeong!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Lee Soyeong!" "Personnel changes are around the corner." "Yes, ma'am." "You've been doing a good job." "I have a plan." "Thank you for your consideration." "What's going on with the contract extension with Chae Seula?" "Have you finished the negotiations?" "The thing is, from what I've gathered," "Jang Seonju is more popular with our main consumer group." "Women in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s." " So I think..." " What are you talking about?" "Chae Seula's doing very well for herself these days." "I heard you're close to Jang Seonju's manager." "Are you trying to pull a fast one on me?" "Please forget what I said." "I'm sorry, ma'am." "I shouldn't have even brought it up." "Hey, Lee Soyeong." "Listen carefully to what I have to say." "The thing is, my family's very rich." "We have a huge house and a gigantic plot of land." "We have three buildings in Gangnam, and 50 franchises nationwide." "I'm a prince." "I'm the prince of pork hocks." "Gihong always calls me that to tease me." "I'm sure you've never heard it before." "You said it was your dream to marry the owner of a pork hocks joint." "Well, you're in luck." "So don't even think about finding someone else." "Don't get funny ideas, and just be good to me." "Got it?" "Would I come off as being a show-off?" "She might find it annoying." "But why should it be a problem?" "It's not like I'm lying." "Okay." "I'll just do it." "I should be manly and confident." "It won't take long." "I'm busy." "Wait, wait." "You see..." "If you have nothing to say, I'm taking off." "Okay." "Fine." "I'll say it." "I don't know how you'll take this, but I'm only mentioning this because you had said how you didn't think I'd be able to support you and your family." "My family's very rich." "We're super rich." "I mean, we're not like the billionaires you see on TV, but we're pretty well off." "My dad owns a pork hocks place." "Business is pretty good." "We have no problems making ends meet." "And we own our house." "It's not a rental." "And we have two cars." "Two!" "My dad has one, and my mom has one." "Are you listing your family's financial assets to me?" "It's not that..." "You think I'm worse off than I really am." "The thing is, I'm pretty well off." "I don't seem like much now, living on my monthly paychecks." "But if I go and work for my dad," "I'd be looking at a minimum of $100,000 a month." "That's net profit." "Why?" "Do you think I'm lying?" "I know." "That's my dad's money." "But now that you know, what do you think?" "Don't I seem a bit more reliable now?" "Plus, you said you wanted to marry an owner of a pork hocks joint." "Marry me and your dream will come true." "And from my family's standpoint, they'd be grateful to have a daughter-in-law like you." "You're pretty and sweet and you like pork hocks." "My dad will treat you like a princess." "And as for my father, while he might be a bit authoritarian, he's not a bad guy." "He doesn't look at people's wealth or educational background." "What he cares about the most is people's character." "In that sense, you get a 10." " Are you done?" " Huh?" "Yeah." "I have to go." "I'm very busy right now." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Lee Soyeong!" "Jeez." "Why is she being like this?" "Did I do something wrong?" "What can it be?" "That way." "Hurry." "Ms. Lee." "Are you ready for this?" "I'm confident." "Please wait." "Seula will try on all three and then make her decision." "You don't need to look." "Just wear this." "Kang Yunseo?" "This is pretty." "Kang Yunseo's so talented." "After trying on all three pieces," "Seula has decided to go with Ms. Kang Yunseo's design." "All three dresses were beautiful." "But I think the dress Ms. Kang made for me goes best with my persona." "It's lovely and cute." "Thank you, everyone." "Thank you." "Thank you." "We'll see you next time." " Let's go, Seula." " Okay." "Excuse me!" "What happened?" "Why didn't you try on my dress?" "What are you talking about?" "I tried them all on before making my decision." "No." "You didn't try mine on." "You never even looked at it." "The paraffin seal is still intact." "That's because..." "Did she not try on ours either?" "Wait!" "I don't think she has." "Don't butt in." " Pardon?" " Your dress is a joke." "How do you expect Seula to walk around in something so skimpy?" "It's a jacket, not a dress." "Let's go." "I'm not done yet, Ms. Chae." "Ms. Chae!" "Ms. Chae!" "Ms. Chae!" " What's the matter with you?" " Please give me a chance." "Why won't you look at my dress?" "Please don't be like this." "I saw it, but it was awful." " That's all." " Ms. Chae." "Please give it another look." "If not, let me explain the concept of the dress." "Please don't do this." "Seula's just going to wear Ms. Kang's dress." " Let's go, Seula." " Ms. Chae!" "Ms. Chae..." "You're trying too hard, Ms. Lee." "What did I tell you?" "I had this in the bag from the very beginning." "Thank you, Ms. Chae." "We thank you." "Could you please pose for a photo?" "Please look this way, Ms. Chae." "Ms. Chae herself has come to sign the contract." "Now let's talk about the charity bazaar." "What have we gotten from the auction?" "We have about 30 pieces of jewelry and clothes." "This year's bazaar will be better than ever in terms of the attendees and the donated items." "I'm sorry, Ms. Baek." "I really wanted to do a good job." "I'm sorry to have disappointed you." "I lost this competition." "May I see the dress?" "What did Ms. Chae say?" "What was her reason for not choosing this dress?" "No way." "Clothes must be tried on." "Why would she reject it without even trying it on?" "That's not fair." " That Chae Seula's a bad person." " She's really rude." "She can't know whether it's too short or unflattering unless she tries it on, right?" "The three of us went through so much to make that piece." "Lee Soyeong must be crying her eyes out somewhere." " This is maddening." " What?" "Is Ms. Lee all you care about?" "What about me?" "There are three of you." "You can console one another." "You're driving me up the wall!" "She must be so disappointed." "I can't ask her to meet my parents now." "Okay." "I'll take care of the Chae Seula thing, and then I will propose to her in a dramatic fashion." "She won't be able to resist me." "I'll be just too awesome." "I can turn this crisis into an opportunity." "But how am I supposed to meet with Chae Seula?" "Your popularity is explosive these days." "What is your secret?" "I don't know." "Please meet me, Ms. Chae Seula!" "I'm just grateful for all the love." "Ms. Chae, how are you?" "Please proceed." "He must be a die-hard fan." "Why are you doing this?" "Wait!" "Yes." "I do have some die-hard fans like him." "I'm a fan!" "A fan!" "Ms. Chae!" "Ms. Chae!" "Ms. Chae!" "Thank you." "Hello." "Give Ms. Lee Soyeong a chance!" "What?" "What?" "Hello." "It's me again." "Manager!" " Oh, my goodness." " Wait." "Wait." "It's a misunderstanding." "Ms. Chae." "Please." "Just give me a few minutes." "Ms. Chae!" "Ms. Chae!" "I must not be taking proper care of myself." "Look at how I'm sagging here." "And look at this huge wrinkle." "Good grief." "A, E, I, O, U." "A, E, I, O, U?" " You startled me!" " And Bingo was his name?" " Pardon?" " Are you singing that children's song?" " No." " But the expression on your face..." "Were you giving me a secret signal?" "I thought you were calling out to me for help." "An SOS of sorts." "Are you making fun of me?" "You are, aren't you?" "Pardon?" "Making fun of you?" "Why would I?" "Never mind." "The lunch is off." "Get out of the way." "What did I do?" "Ms. Ji!" "Ms. Ji..." "I just don't get it." " Look." " Look." " Mr. Jang." " Ms. Park." "You go first." "Let's just say it never happened." "Let's not be old-fashioned and attach meaning to it." "That is, let's just call it a small accident or a slip-up." "Let's just pretend it never happened." "Wow, Ms. Park." "You're awesome." "Those were my thoughts exactly." "We speak the same language, don't we?" "In any case, we've come to an agreement, so from this point forth, nothing happened between us." "Of course." "And you can't tell people about it either." "Tell people what?" "Did something happen between us?" "What are you talking about?" "I don't remember a thing." "That's perfect." "Cheers!" "Cheers!" "Honestly, we shouldn't be fooling around." "I know." "We should be focused on our work." "That's right." "Design Team 5 may disappear altogether." "We're at an important crossroad right now." " Let's see." " Yeah?" "This isn't good enough." "Why don't we go somewhere and have an in-depth discussion on how we can keep Design Team 5 alive?" "I'm all for an in-depth discussion." " Let's go." " Let's go." "Ms. Park." "I love you, Ms. Park." "It's Chae Seula." "She's gorgeous." "She's even prettier in person." "Hello, Ms. Chae." "Hello, Ms. Kang." "We're in a company of celebrities, and yet you still stand out of the crowd." " Your dress is very pretty, too." " Thank you." "It must be a Valmont, your favorite label." "Yes, it is." " Hello." " Hello." "I'll see you later." " It's Jang Seonju." " She's gorgeous." "Wow." "It's Jang Seonju." "Long time no see, Seula." "Smile, okay?" "Who would've imagined you'd get invited to a venue like this?" "I've always been a bigger celebrity than you." "That doesn't say much." "You make less than me." "That's why I'm here." "I wanted to show you I can make more." "Have a good time." "What a pain." "It's okay." "You're the most beautiful." " Do I look okay?" " You look beautiful." " Ms. Chae." " CEO Ji." "I heard you chose Ms. Kang Yunseo's design for the red carpet event." "Yes." "What did you like about it?" "It was the prettiest and it went well with my persona." "What didn't you like about the other dresses?" "Pardon?" "Well..." "Just be honest." "I'd like to know what we need to work on." "One of them was too similar to a Valmont design." "And it was too short." "And the other one..." "The red dress, right?" "Pardon?" "Yes." "I didn't like the ribbon on it." "It was too frilly." "Did this help?" "Yes, of course." "I should go now." " Ms. Lee." " Yes, CEO Ji." "Can you do whatever it takes to get your dress on the red carpet?" "Pardon?" "Are you fully committed to your dress?" "Yes." "Then just follow my instructions." "Hi, Seungil." "What?" "How may I help you?" "I'm here to meet someone." " Professor Ji." " It has been a while, hasn't it?" "You're early, Soyeong." "This is the friend I told you about." "Your friend?" "Why didn't you tell us?" "Please come this way." " I'll remove this hair band." " I can do it." "Add some volume." "Just trust me." "Now for the highlight of the 2011 The Style Charity Bazaar." "We have something very rare and valuable." "Donated by our magazine's editor, Yun Taeyeong, it is a vintage necklace." "It was obtained after a violent scuffle with an African chief, believe it or not." "Yes, Juhui." "She refuses to believe that my family's rich, and Chae Seula won't give me the time of day." "I'm of no help to Soyeong." "Where can she be?" "Why won't she pick up the phone?" "This has been a bad day." "How did you get in here?" "I called Gihong and got the pass code." "Would you have preferred that I wait outside?" "No, it's not that." "Sit." "This is the daughter of CEO Park who runs an octopus place in Mygyo-dong." "She's a teacher." "She's 25 years old, and like her father, she's very meticulous." "She's tall and thin." "No?" "Not your type?" "How about this young lady?" "She's the daughter of CEO Kim who runs a restaurant in Samcheong-dong." "She's very diligent and sweet." "From the pictures, she seems to be taller." " Make your pick." " Pick what?" "Mugyo-dong or Samcheong-dong?" "This isn't like picking between the front and hind legs of a pig." " What has gotten into you?" " What?" "What has gotten into me?" "You dimwit!" "I'm going around trying to find you a wife because your taste in women is terrible." "What's wrong with my taste in women?" "Of all there is to choose, you picked an old spinster." "How did you know?" "You didn't think I'd find out?" "She may be fine on the outside, but she's 34 years old." "What have you been up to?" "Did you meet Lee Soyeong?" "Yes, I did." "Why did you do that?" "I would have introduced you to her in due time." "Did you say something to her?" "She didn't tell you?" "I gave her a piece of my mind." "Piece of mind?" "What about?" "Good grief." "What do you think I told her?" "I told her to call it quits." "Dad!" "Why?" "You must be out of your mind." "There are so many women out there." "Why are you dating a girl from such a pathetic family?" "Consider yourself lucky that I found out before it got too late." "You must have no idea what a loser her father is." "You call someone who sucks others dry a "straw" these days, right?" "Do you want a straw sucking you dry your entire life?" "If you marry her, that's how you'll be living." "How could you do this to your future daughter-in-law?" "You'd feel so awkward around her later." "What?" "You're nuts." "And wait." "Dad..." "How do you know Lee Soyeong's father?" "Don't you know just how small the world is?" "In Korea, there's only two degrees of separation." "Her father is her father, and Soyeong is Soyeong." "The thing is, I take after you." "I'm stubborn as a mule." "No matter what you say," "I won't break up with her." "What?" "What did you say?" "I'm sorry, but I need to run." "Hey!" "Where are you going?" "I'm sorry." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Ow..." "Ow..." "I have to call him my son?" "You look like a movie star." "Although I designed this dress," "I've never worn anything like this before." "I picked these out in a hurry." "I don't know whether you'd like them." "No." "I don't need..." "Don't tell me you're thinking of wearing those in." "It's a sample." "You can return them later." "You promised to follow my instruction today." " Try them on." "Go on." " Okay." "I'm sorry." "Thank you." "Let's go in." " Who's that pretty woman?" " Is she CEO Ji's girlfriend?" "Look at those jewels." "Where did she get that dress?" "Where can you get a dress like that?" " Are you okay?" " Yes." "Hello, CEO Ji." " Hello." " Hi." "Who's this pretty lady?" "Everyone's dying to know." "Your girlfriend?" " No." " I should have kept my mouth shut." "Your dress is gorgeous." " Thank you." " Who's the designer?" "It doesn't look like a luxury label piece." "I made it myself." "Really?" "Then are you..." "Yes." "She's the top designer at The Style." " You're so talented." " Wow." "I'd love to have you design a piece for me." " Me, too." " What is your name?" "I'm Lee Soyeong." "CEO Ji, I have first dibs on Designer Lee Soyeong." "I will definitely order from her." " Excuse me, Ms. Lee." " Sure." "Excuse us." "She must be the designer." "She's beautiful." "Excuse me." " Is this the dress you brought..." " The dress is lovely." "Thank you." "It would work well even on the red carpet." "It was actually designed for the red carpet." "Really?" "Attention, please." "We have a new item." "It's a great item that you can all look forward to." "Designer Lee Soyeong, please come up here." "The item is actually worn by the designer herself." "It is the red dress" "Ms. Lee designed." "Let's have the designer explain to you the concept of the dress." "This dress was originally designed for the red carpet." "Whether you're the leading lady or a supporting actress, newcomer or an experienced actress, being on the red carpet is a moment to remember." "It is a moment that every woman wants to appear sexy." "That is the underlying idea behind this dress." "Thank you for listening." "It is a very sexy dress." "A dress can make a woman." "Please write down your bid and put it in the box." "There seems to be a lot of interest." "The dress is beautiful, isn't it?" "As you can see, Ms. Lee Soyeong is The Style's best designer." "As a matter of fact, she is the best designer I know." "You missed out a golden opportunity to wear the best dress out there." "Any more bids?" "We now close the bidding for the red dress designed by Ms. Lee Soyeong." " Wait." " Yes?" "The bidding is invalid." "Ms. Lee Soyeong designed that dress for me, so the dress is mine." "But you said you didn't want to wear the dress." "That's what The Style had been informed." "There must have been some kind of misunderstanding." "I'm wearing that dress to a red carpet event." "The dress is mine, right, Ms. Lee Soyeong?" "Yes, it is." "I'm sorry." "Confusions do arise." "We will nullify the bidding of Ms. Lee Soyeong's red dress." "I'm sorry." "You may step down, Ms. Lee." "Okay." "What happened, Ms. Chae?" "You're going to wear Ms. Lee Soyeong's dress on the red carpet?" "You never even tried on that dress." "I changed my mind." "I think something sexy would work for me, too." "Pardon?" "What about my dress?" "I'm sorry." "Now that you got an extension on your endorsement contract, you'll do whatever you please?" "The manager will be in touch with the details." "Excuse me." "Taxi!" "Taxi!" "Hoehyeong-dong, please." "Hold on, Lee Soyeong." "I don't know how I can thank you." "This wouldn't have been possible if you didn't make a beautiful dress." "Your talent saved you." "This is Yunseo." "Where are you and what are you doing?" " Your girlfriend's here." " What?" "Where are you?" "Thank you for everything today." "I should go." "This is fascinating, but I feel out of place." "Ms. Lee." "Where's your sense of camaraderie?" "Are you going to leave me here all by myself?" "Everyone here is dull." "But then again, who am I to say?" "I'm probably the dullest person there is." "Although I may be dull, you would dance with me, wouldn't you?" "CEO Ji." "Do you remember what I told you?" "Sometimes, I'd like to be something other than Hyeon's dad or your boss." "Please give me a chance." "I'd like to be a man in your eyes." "You see, CEO Ji..." "Lee Soyeong!" "What are you doing here?" "Let's go." "What are you doing here?" "Get out." "I warned you earlier, didn't I?" "Don't hit on my woman." "Are you nuts, Choi Jinuk?" "Hey!" "Let go!" "Have you lost your mind?" "What do you think you're doing?" "Why didn't you tell me that you met my dad?" "Why did you shoulder the burden on your own?" "If I told you, what difference would it have made?" "Would my family have stopped being poor?" "Would I no longer be 34 years old?" "It was something I had to deal with on my own." "There's nothing your father said that was wrong." "Let's not try too hard." "Don't burden me with your youthful passion." " Just let me go." " I can't let you go." "I won't let you go no matter what, so just have faith in me, okay?" "I can't ever give up on you no matter what happens." "Mr. Choi Jinuk!" "You overstepped your bounds." "I've always known that you were a rude person, but you really crossed the line today." "What were you thinking?" "This is an official venue of The Style." "How can an employee barge into an official venue and cause such a scene?" "So you're saying we should keep our private life and work life separate..." "But what about you?" "You brought an employee to an official work event in this skimpy outfit." "And you even had her dance with you." "You have no right to lecture me!" " How dare you?" " CEO Ji." "What?" "Are you going to take a swing at me?" "CEO Ji." "Please stop, Choi Jinuk." "Please."
