[Sweet Home Shopping]

- Good work today.
- You worked really hard today.

You too.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Mom.

Hey.

Why didn't you tell me
you were going to be on air?

I almost missed it.

You saw me on TV?

Of course, I did.

Seeing you on TV
for the first time in a while...

made me so happy.

It must've been so hard
hiding that talent all this time.

Mom.

I'm going to be on TV all the time
from now on, so don't miss my shows.

And I did so well today...

that the executive director said
I should just go straight on air.

Really?

That's my girl.

Look at you. You're so sharp.
I wonder who you got that from.

Producer Noh.

You don't want Na Jeong
to stay at Sweet Home Shopping, do you?

Can you make her leave?

What?

I knew it.

That's why I practically begged you
not to let Na Jeong in...

no matter what.

Why did you ignore that?

Are you saying you got hurt
because of Na Jeong?

That's exactly right.

If she hadn't pushed for outdoor filming,

this wouldn't have happened to me.

So?

I really can't work with Na Jeong anymore.

Can't you at least talk to her now...

and tell her to quit?

What?

Come on, let's be honest.

You don't want Na Jeong to find out...

you got on everyone's bad side at work
because of Seon Min,

and I'm so uncomfortable
around her too, so...

Song Ye Na.

Do you think I'm a pushover
just because I kept my mouth shut?

What happened with Seon Min is one thing,

but you talking recklessly
about Na Jeong...

is crossing the line.

You really don't budge.

I'm just trying to have
a nice dinner with you after a long time.

What about Ye Eun?

Did she say what time she'd be home?

It's been ages
since I had dinner with my girl too.

Hey, you guys, long time no see.

I told you not to touch that.

You startled me.

Isn't this totally unfair?

We're all interns,

so how come she gets to go on air
while others only get to observe?

Exactly.

And not even as a co-host,
but a main host?

I heard the main host got stung by a bee,

so she jumped in
as a last-minute replacement.

Stung by a bee?

I can't even.

I guess it's true what they say.

Luck follows some people wherever they go.

Good morning.

It's a good morning only for you.

Let's go grab a coffee.

That sounds good.

[Sweet Home Shopping]
[Programming Schedule, 3rd Week of August]

[Show Hosts]

[View more]

Why am I not on this?

Well,

I suggested putting you in as a co-host
in the next lineup,

but Ye Na said she thinks
it's still a bit early for you,

and asked me to put it on hold.

You know it's already a sensitive issue
in terms of fairness,

and when even your mentor's against it,

I don't really have any grounds.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Have you seen Song Ye Na?

I think she's resting in the waiting room.

Thanks.

What do you think you're doing?

That's what I want to ask.

I rushed you to the ER
when you were about to pass out,

covered for the broadcast
so it wouldn't fall apart,

and this is how you pay me back?

How could you do that?

I can't believe that's how you view it.

Look at you.

From where I'm standing,

it looks like you climbed up
by stepping on me in the gutter.

You know what? Let's just forget it.

How am I supposed to deal
with someone like you...

who twists everything I say and do?

Whatever.

From now on, whether you're drowning
in the gutter or on your last breath,

I am never helping you again.

The day I help you again,
I'm not even a person.

Damn it. I'm so mad.

What did I do in a past life...

for her to pick on me
over every little thing?

Still, I did save her, didn't I?

You knew she was a rude brat.

I knew, but I didn't know it was this bad.

What else can you do?

Just coax her however you can
so she doesn't pull anything big.

No.

I've dealt with plenty
of people like that.

With petty people like her,

if you push back hard, they usually fold.

So what about a head-on approach?

Like what?

Just report her for workplace harassment.

What?

No, that's way too risky.

What's risky about it?

If things stay like this,

she won't get good evaluations anyway,
and she's bound to get fired.

You might as well go head-on.

Don't be ridiculous.

No matter what, Ye Na's an employee,
and she's just an intern.

Report her?

Easier said than done.

Who do you think
the company will side with?

Who do you think will take the fall?

Then what am I supposed to do?

Figure out a way to win her over instead.

Hey, technically speaking,
aren't you a saleswoman?

You reel in viewers who don't even care,
but you can't win her over?

True.

Right, did you go to the OB-GYN?

Yeah.

They said my periods are irregular.

I knew it.

You're up all night, drinking like crazy,
and running yourself ragged.

Hey, we really need
to stop wrecking ourselves.

If you burn yourself out
when you're young,

your body gets its revenge
when you're older.

Okay, okay.

What do I do with her? I'm so pissed.

Where did the driver say they are now?

About five minutes out.

Are you not going
to tell Na Jeong about it?

It's nothing, really.

She'll just worry and make a big scene.

What about freezing your eggs?

What for?
I have no plans on having kids anyway.

Still.

Someday, if you meet someone
you really love,

you might change your mind.

Egg freezing?

Well, it's not completely impossible,

but you might go through all that
and not get much out of it.

We usually need to retrieve
around 20 follicles...

to get one or two good ones.

But in your case, Ms. Lee,

even producing follicles is not easy.

That's enough.
Don't make a big deal out of this.

Hey.

Hey.

Go wash up and rest.

Honey, did you drink?

Yeah.

Are you happy?

What?

Are you happy because I don't ask you
to try for a baby...

and just go around drinking?

Why are you like this again?

Honey.

What's wrong?

What's so fun about this for you?

You're not a kid anymore.
What's fun about playing with this?

Why all of a sudden?

Did something happen?

Fine.

Let's forget it.

This is just a doll.

Just report her for workplace harassment.

Figure out a way to win her over instead.

Technically speaking,
you're a saleswoman, aren't you?

What do I do?

Hello.

I'm a big fan, Blunt Sister.

What?

Cho Na Jeong.

I told you to play hardball,
not suck up to her.

What deal are you talking about
with someone like her?

Didn't you say
you also have to cover a guest no-show?

Home shopping is the front line
of shopping,

so you two have that in common.

And show hosts are practically
semi-celebrities.

I just hope you don't fall for
that sly fox and end up suffering.

Just think about it this way.

This isn't for her.

It's a high-level strategy and tactic
for our careers.

What did you want so badly
that you called me out?

Spit it out. I'm busy.

Okay.

I don't want to look at you any longer
than I have to, so I'll be quick.

Let's stop this childish attrition battle,

and try something a little more strategic.

No personal feelings.
Let's aim for a win-win.

What are you saying?

Be specific.

You want to be famous, don't you?

I can help you with that.

How exactly would you help me?

You know the deputy editor
at N Life Magazine is my friend, right?

The Blunt Sister.

I'll get you an interview with her.

In return, you put me on
as the co-host on your broadcast.

But...

if you ask, will she say yes?

I've already talked to my friend
about this.

She said if you're up for it,
she'll make it happen.

If you're not, forget it.

Wait.

Why are you so impatient?

That's not exactly my favorite outlet,

but if you can make it happen, I'll try.

Okay, then.

What are the conditions?

First, sh**t a vlog of her daily life
and send it.

Then during the interview,
she'll do a photo sh**t too.

If the photos turn out well,

they might even run her in print.

Okay.

If a show host's profile goes up,

sales go up too.

Then on Ye Na's next broadcast,

will Na Jeong be the co-host?

It is a bit fast,

but I guess a bold investment
is necessary to nurture talent.

Right, good call.

Pairing you two...

has created more synergy than I expected.

Well then, good luck.

Yes.

Sure, you did your part,

but don't get too full of yourself.

Honestly, I've gotten interview offers
from plenty of places too.

I was just too lazy to bother.

I see.

Anyway, I've done my part,

so I hope you won't forget to do yours.

[In Use]

My gosh.

An interview for N Life Magazine?

If I go live in Jeju for a month,

can you ask Sang Min
to come water the plants here?

I think that opening's a bit cliché.

- Here's coffee for everyone.
- Ms. Cho.

You really didn't have to.

An intern should at least do this much.

- By the way,
- Yeah?

How did you talk Ye Na around...

and become the co-host?

It just worked out that way.

- Let's drink coffee.
- Thank you, Ms. Cho.

Thanks to Ms. Cho.

You know today is filming day, right?

Be at Studio A
at our company building by 2 PM.

Okay.

We'll head over right after the meeting.

I hope she's getting good vlog footage.

Hello.

Today, all the staff are gathered...

for a brainstorming session...

about the set and the overall broadcast.

Say hi.

Hey, what are you doing?
We're in a meeting.

Seriously?

Is everyone going to be
this uncooperative?

This isn't for my sake.

It's for the company.

Come on, everyone, bright and cheerful.

- Okay?
- Yes.

Hello.

Hello, subscribers of N Life Magazine.

I'm so happy to meet you like this.

Please show lots of love
for Sweet Home Shopping.

Please.

- Na Jeong.
- Hey.

It's been so long
since we went out together like this.

Back then,
we were always out somewhere after work.

Right, we were.

Those days were so much fun.

We drank after the broadcast,

and we'd go on trips too.

Right?

I learned so much from you, Na Jeong,

and I've grown this much thanks to you.

- I'm really grateful.
- I see.

If I ever did anything that hurt you,
even a little,

please forgive me.

You know I can be a bit petty sometimes.

You're not.

Right, hang on.

There's something I wanted to give you.

I've only carried this twice,

but I just feel like
it would look perfect on you.

But this is expensive.

I'll try to help you as your mentor...

as best as I can,

so from now on, lean on me, okay?

Thank you.

I'm home.

How have you all been?

How are you feeling?

You must feel frustrated
not having a head.

But it should've arrived by now.
How strange.

Once it's delivered,

you'll have your pretty face back soon.

Yeah, lately she doesn't bring it up.

I guess she's given up.

Last time she even came home drunk.

Honestly, that's a relief for me.

I do feel a little bad, though.

Yeah, maybe a bit.

You know Joo Young's always by the book.

She's got this fixed idea...

of what a perfect family should be.

I think something happened...

when she was young, like me.

In a way,

I kind of feel sorry for her.

I heard...

her dad walked out
when she was a senior in high school.

But even then, her mom...

You b*stard.

Who was that just now?

Don't tell me that was you.

That wasn't you, right?

It was me, you crazy b*stard.

What are you doing here?

Me? I'm just...

Well, with my figures here...

This is...

You must've been really shocked, honey.

It's a long story,

- but don't get the wrong idea...
- Wrong idea?

What "wrong idea?"

Tell me the truth.

What exactly do you use these for?

I don't use them for anything.

They're my friends. I don't use them.

I've had them since I was a kid and...

So you're saying...

these have been around
since before we got married?

Then why did her head
show up in a package?

Answer me.

Because of that flood last time,
the basement filled up,

and Jessica's face got mold on it.

What?

Jessica?

You disgusting freak.

Hey, what are you doing?

Let go.

- I'm burning these.
- No.

Let go, you creep.

- Please.
- Let go.

Rebecca.

Rebecca!

No.

Rebecca.

Rebecca.

Rebecca.

Il Ri.

- Hey.
- Hey.

This is show host Song Ye Na.

And this is Deputy Editor Lee Il Ri.

Hello.

Do you remember me?
We met at the mall last time.

I told you then I was a huge fan
of your show, Blunt Sister.

I've heard so much about you.
I feel like I already know you.

Sorry?

Where's the makeup room?
Could you show her?

- Yes, I'll take you right over.
- Okay.

Il Ri, please control your temper.

What did I do?

All set.

Thank you.

Please change into this outfit.

That's gorgeous.

I love this 60s-style jacket.

Thank you, Deputy Editor.

I swear I'm not just flattering you.

I'm a huge fan
of Blunt Sister's Sensible Advice.

I've watched every episode from the start.

I'm truly a huge fan.

Thank you.

Especially the older woman
and younger man episode.

That one was so much fun.

Are you and your boyfriend
still arguing over texting these days?

We broke up recently.

I see.

Sorry.

Then should I set you up on a blind date?

No, that's okay.

Actually,

the moment I saw you, Deputy Editor,
someone popped into my head.

He's a director
at one of our partner companies,

and honestly, of all the people I've met,

he's got the best personality,
perfect manners,

and he's totally loaded.

He owns two buildings.

Hang on.

Here.

He's in his mid-forties now.

Here he is.

What do you think?

Why? You don't like him?

Well,

this was taken when we all went
to Namhansanseong for chicken stew,

so he looks a bit older here.

In person, he's really handsome.

If he's that great,
why don't you go out with him, Ye Na?

The age gap between us is huge,

and he's not really my type.

Are you really not interested,
Deputy Editor?

She really is the nightmare
Na Jeong says she is.

Is everything going smoothly?

Yes, everything's going well.

Na Jeong's doing better than I expected.

As a mentee, she's pretty satisfying.

What else would you like to know, editors?

I have a question.

Since home shopping sells
such a wide range of products,

you must get ridiculous customers
or nightmare viewers.

Yes, tons.

The customer service staff especially
have a hard time with that.

For example, there are endless cases
where people send things back...

after using them for a month or two.

And plenty of people ask for returns
for completely absurd reasons.

They return products
after using them for one or two months?

Yes.

Not only shoes or clothes.

Some people even return underwear
they've already worn.

My gosh.

One time, there was a customer
who bought sanitary pads.

As you know,

the ones sold on home shopping
come in huge bulk packs.

But she suddenly called...

and said she'd gone into menopause,

and that she didn't need pads anymore.

No way.

She should've bought pomegranate extract
or something instead.

Exactly.

I used to sell pomegranate extract too.

Do you drink it by any chance?

These days,
menopause is happening earlier,

so lots of women in their 40s take it
as part of their routine.

Pomegranate extract
is really good for women.

I highly recommend it.

Show hosts like you are all so slim.

You must be under a lot of pressure...

to stay a size XS or S.

Do you have any go-to diet tips?

Well...

[Liposuction Procedure]

[DIA Plastic Surgery]

What brings you in today?

I'm just not the type who gains easily,

so even if I eat whatever I want,

after doing live shows for over an hour
and doing market research,

there's barely any time to put on weight.

Rebecca.

Rebecca.

That maniac.

[CEO Kim Hak Joo]

Yes, sir.

You weren't at your desk. Where are you?

I've left for the day. I'm outside.

Did something happen?

Have you been drinking?

Yes.

Team Leader Gu, what's with you lately?

You never used to mess up the schedule,

but now your reports are late,

and you leave the workplace
whenever you can.

I even heard a rumor
you're getting divorced.

Is that why you've been spaced out lately?

Even if your personal life is a mess,

you can't let it spill into your work.

What?

Sir, what are you talking about?

Anyway, the foundation is paying
close attention...

to the "Kiss of the Spider Woman",

so get it together.

And don't think about
making excuses later.

Got it?

- Cheers.
- Great job today.

You did a great job today.

Yes, you did.

How are you so good on camera?

Me?

Song Ye Na is totally on a high.

I was super nervous today.

- You did great.
- You were amazing.

Honestly, I was scared to death today.

Putting hot-tempered Lee Il Ri...

together with bratty Song Ye Na,

I thought something might blow up.

Anyway, I'm so relieved
it all wrapped up safely.

Thanks, my friend.

I have so much to say.

Why? What happened?

Na Jeong, Deputy Editor.

Hey.

- Have a drink with me too.
- Sure.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Na Jeong.
- Yes?

Thank you so much for landing me
such an incredible interview.

And thank you too, Deputy Editor.

During the photo sh**t today,

I was honestly over the moon.

Why were you over the moon
about the same old clothes...

and the same old makeup?

No.

Normally, I'm not the main character.

The product is.

So no matter how good I look,

I'm always the sidekick.

But today,

I was the star.

So this is what it feels like
to be the lead.

Na Jeong, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm going to the restroom.

But Deputy Editor,

was that director really that bad?

Yes.

I'm not planning on getting married yet.

Come on.

Deputy Editor, you're 41, right?

If you don't get moving now,
you really might miss your window.

How can you be so out of touch
with reality?

And heartbreak...

is always healed by someone new.

The tougher it is,

the more people you should meet.

If you're that against it, fine.

Forget it.
I'll set him up with someone else.

Your standards...

are pretty high, Deputy Editor.

But, Deputy Editor, can I ask a favor?

That talk about dieting from earlier.

Can you please cut that part out?

Why?

It's just...

just please take it out.

To me, it didn't seem
like there was any issue.

Don't worry.

We'll cut anything
that might cause trouble.

Seriously?

Celebrities get
whatever they want edited out.

Are you discriminating
between celebrities and show hosts?

Discriminating?

Isn't this discrimination?

Celebrities get to see
the edited cut in advance...

and even approve it. I know how it works.

Honestly, I'm a public figure too,
making a living off my appearance.

So please, just edit it out.

Ms. Song Ye Na,

we have the final say in editing.
That's enough.

Hey, Il Ri, can we talk for a sec?

About what?

Let's go outside. Come on.

Hey.

What's your problem?

How can you yank someone out of
their seat like that in front of everyone?

What does that make me look like?

I'm asking you like this,

so please just cut it for her if you can.

From her point of view,
it might really bother her.

Why are you being
so submissive to her today?

Did you forget everything
she put you through?

Are you so blinded by success...

you just threw your pride away?

I told you not to grovel
to trash like her.

Knock it off, Lee Il Ri.

Knock off what?

To be honest, I never liked her.

The only reason I tolerated her
was because you asked me to.

And instead of being grateful,
this is how you treat me?

Hey.

Ye Na.

Ye Na.

Song Ye Na, let me explain.

Did you talk trash about me to her?

Of course, you did. I knew it.

You teamed up with her from the start
just to screw me over, didn't you?

What are you even talking about?

Isn't that right?

You guys were planning to edit the show
all weird on purpose just to ruin me.

To get revenge for what happened before.

Why are you imagining things?

You know,

ever since the old days,

nothing has ever gone right
whenever I got mixed up with you.

You hogged all the spotlight,

looked down on me, and pushed me around
just because you were the senior.

Do you know
how much I hated you for that?

And you?

You went around saying
I was slacking off because of my kid.

You were talking behind my back
to everyone.

When you asked to switch teams,
that really hurt me.

After everything I did for you.

You were a burden back then.

Being a working mom isn't
some kind of privilege.

You're right.

Being a working mom isn't
some kind of privilege.

But people have ups and downs in life,

good times
and times they're barely holding on.

Even so, did you really
have to see that as your chance...

and drag me down like that?

You're doing the same thing right now.

You're right.

I hated you,

but I was still grateful
you got me this shot.

So I even felt a little sorry
for what I did back then.

But look at this.

You were talking behind my back.

You're no different from me, Na Jeong.

- Il Ri.
- Ms. Cho.

Yes?

Ms. Lee left.

[Sanitary pads]

[Missed call - Naraeng]

[Matchmaking...]

Il Ri.

Lee Il Ri.

Are you really not going to answer?

Did you get home okay last night?

[Producer Kim Tae Jeong]

What happened?

I heard Ye Na asked...

to switch her co-host to Ms. Yang

What?

What are you talking about?

Seon Young said...

Ye Na told her
she couldn't be on air with you...

and asked to make
Ms. Yang the co-host instead.

After all the prep meetings
she did with you,

why would she suddenly want someone else?

Ye Na.

Did you tell them to cut me
and make Yang Mi Sook the co-host instead?

Yes.

That's not what we agreed on.

We said if I got you the interview,
you'd take me as the co...

I called N Life Magazine...

and told them not to run the interview.

So...

that means I don't owe you anything now.

Right.

This package is great.

Right? So I thought...

I'd try to highlight as many strengths
as possible here...

The Head of Division is here.

Yes.

You can sit down.

You all remember
we've got a team dinner tonight, right?

Yes.

The interns have been here
for a while now,

and we haven't
even welcomed them properly.

Let's grab something good to eat later.

Good work, everyone.

By the way, what division is he heading?

He's the Head of Broadcasting Support,

and he's the nephew
of the chairman's wife.

Seriously?

No way.

Everyone.

We have a new friend
joining our Sky Class.

Ri Ae, do you want to say hi
to your friends?

Yes.

Hi, I'm Joo Ri Ae.

Nice to meet you all.

Be nice to our new friend.

Ri Ae, your cubby...

is this one.

I'll put your backpack inside.

And your seat...

is here.

My name is Noh Min Woo.

I'm Joo Ri Ae.

Okay.

I'm Yang Mi Sook.
I don't slack off at work,

and I don't hold back when I play.

Nice to meet you all.

Okay.

Everyone.

Remember, each one of you
represents our company.

Make life sweet,

and make sales sweet.

Sweet.

Home Shopping.

Yeah, they've eaten.

And don't let them stay up too late.

Make sure they're in bed before nine.

I will.

Min Jun needs to use the bathroom
before bed,

or he'll wet the sheets.

Okay, okay.

Ye Na.

Come on.

Sir, you're drunk.

I'm not drunk.

Hey.

Na Jeong.

Yes?

Why are you out here?

It's you, Mr. Kim.

I didn't know you were here too, Ye Na.

I was just calling my husband.

I see.

Ye Na didn't look well.
Her face has been pale since earlier.

As the head of division,

I should look after her.

Yes, of course.

- Come in.
- Yes.

What was that?

Why are you butting into
other people's business?

If you start gossiping about this later,

I really won't let it slide.

If you're struggling,
my office is always open.

Thank you.

Please guide the interns well.

Let's drink.

Woo Ram.

My throat hurts so much
that I'm at the hospital.

If anything needs approval, message me.

Okay.

[Yeonhwa Matchmaking Agency]

[Marriage isn't just a choice.]

[It's a journey to meet
the most important partner of your life.]

[Find the one person to share
your future with at Yeonhwa.]

Hello.

Okay, Mom.

Don't worry. I'm not running away.

I'll get a consultation first
and call you.

I told you I didn't want this.
Why'd you sign me up...

and make things harder for me?

A grade C?

With my looks and my name recognition,

and my job, how am I a C?

I know.

Given your looks and profile,

it makes sense that you're be shocked.

But surprisingly,

fashion journalists and YouTubers...

aren't top picks in the marriage market.

Lawyers, doctors, pharmacists.

Those kinds of professions
are what rank as grade A.

Right, I get it.

So is that the biggest issue?

Or is something else wrong?

The real problem...

is that you're already a bit older
for having children, and...

I already said
I'm not planning on having kids.

Yes.

We'll search for a match...

who best fits your preferences.

When it comes to seeing someone,

what matters most to you?

Well,

vibes?

Vibes?

Right. Vibes.

Vibes are great. They're important.

Yes, vibes.

[Ideal Partner Type]

[Has vibes she'll care a lot
about appearance]

Vibes!

Right.

Seriously?

Did she pass out
after drinking last night?

Why'd she leave someone waiting
for two hours?

Hey, Cho Na Jeong.

Yeah?

Did you hear anything from Ms. Song?

No, nothing.

How can you stay so calm...

when your own mentor can't be reached?

Then and now,

you've always been out for yourself.
That hasn't changed one bit.

Whatever.

- Hello.
- Hello.

I can't even.

How strange.

Her personality is a mess,

but she's never the type
to break an appointment.

[Show Host Song Ye Na]

- Ms. Cho.
- Yes?

Have you seen Song Ye Na anywhere?

I haven't.

How weird.
Why won't she answer her phone?

Yeah, she's not picking up.

If you run into her,

could you tell her she has to turn in
the mentee evaluation today?

We can't push it any later.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

Tae Jeong.

If she's not answering,
should I just go to Ye Na's place?

I can talk to her
about the evaluation too.

Yes, please do.

That's probably best.

Okay.

[Show Host Song Ye Na]

[Na Jeong]

Help...

Hello?

Ye Na.

It...

hurts.

What's going on, Ye Na?

Ye Na.

I'm right in front of your place.

Can you open the door?

Ye Na.

Ye Na.

Ye Na.

Did something happen?

[Main Operating Room]

You have a big appetite, sweetie.

Here's some fried stuff for you too.

I want black bean sauce noodles.

I want sweet and sour pork.

Hey.

Ye Na, you're awake.

Why do you always scare people?

You almost died, you know.

What happened?

You had emergency surgery
because of a bowel obstruction.

The doctor asked
how little you must've been eating...

for your intestines to stick together.

No wonder. You never ate rice...

and just kept chugging coffee.

But how did you know?

Mi Sook and Tae Jeong said
they couldn't reach you.

I thought that was strange.

You're not someone
who breaks appointments.

And you'd been looking pale
for a few days already.

I couldn't shake the feeling.

So you came all the way to my house?

Well, you're my mentor.

What if something had happened?

I panicked and just ran over.

This might not be the best time,

but I'm sorry about last time.

It's not like I was bad-mouthing you
from the start.

When you said
you didn't want to work with me,

who else could I pour my heart out to?

I couldn't say anything at work.

So I just vented to my closest friends.

Anyway,

if I hurt your feelings,

I'm sorry.

Forgive me, okay?

Are you crying?

Whatever.

You have no idea, Na Jeong.

You have no idea how hard it was for me.

I thought I was going to die.

You're married, you have kids,

and you have a husband.

I don't have a husband or a kid.

All I have left is my job.

And you came after my spot,
like some greedy hog.

So I hated you.

I hated you so much.

[I accuse Sweet Home Shopping's
Division Head K of sexual harassment.]

This is unbelievable.

We hired one crazy girl,
and look at this mess.

I told you.

Why did you get swept up
in such ridiculous claims?

Now things have blown up for no reason.

Even if this goes to court,

she'll be the only one completely ruined.

What do we do now?

Then,

since you're still seeing Seon Min,

why don't you talk to her yourself?

Sorry?

Why? You thought I didn't know?

You've been helping her find jobs,

comforting her, and all that.

So of course, people gossip.

I told you to step back,
but you didn't listen.

If you keep this up,

I can't protect you anymore.

What company keeps an employee...

who's trying to stab it in the back?

And that's not all.

At this rate,
even Na Jeong, who's doing fine at work...

will get dragged down.

You're the breadwinner.

Do you want your innocent wife
to lose her job over this?

Producer Noh.

I'm waiting at the café out front.

Can we talk for a moment?

Me again?

Why?

We discussed it,

and with Seon Young
already covering for Ye Na,

letting someone inexperienced
like Ms. Yang be the co-host...

is too risky.

The partner companies won't tolerate it.

And you handled
all the pre-meetings anyway.

So we think it's best
if you be the co-host again.

Why?

You don't want to?

No.

Of course, not.

Bye.

[Yang Mi Sook]

- Hello?
- You.

Come out to the café out front.
We need to talk.

We can talk at work.
Why make me go all the way out there?

Do you want everyone at work...

to watch interns fight, you idiot?

Honey?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here, honey?

[Don't Call Me Ma'am]

That show host from earlier.

She was bawling in front of you.

You've already been on air once.

So tell them you'll give your spot to me.

Mom, this is my girlfriend.

Mom, this is my boyfriend.

No.

What happened?

Why are you crying like a kid
out here like this?

Hey, you like me, don't you?

What's wrong with you?

Living with you...

felt suffocating.

So you're saying...

I got special treatment
because of my husband?

I wanted to go back to work,
but I had no opportunities.

What does that have to do
with the interview?

When we first met, you said...

you were already set to work
at Sweet Home Shopping.

What?
